A Guide to Modern Cultivation

In Huaxia Kingdom, many people have discovered that the atmosphere in various cities in recent years seems to have become more and more... Livelier?

Residents of many cities, when passing by a certain temple or a certain Taoist temple, all found that the incense in those places seemed to have become more vigorous?

Even when taking a car, taking the subway, or going out shopping, the number of monks, Taoist priests, and people in strange clothes who like to play cosplay are also increasing on the street.

In some cities with relatively developed economies and fast-paced life, people's feelings about this were not obvious at first, because this kind of thing was more common in the past.But in some second-tier, third-tier, and even eighteenth-tier cities, this kind of situation has become more and more common, providing a lot of talking points for many uncles and aunts who walk around to buy vegetables.

In recent months, residents in many cities and netizens on the Internet have added some other things to talk about.

——When I got off work today, I drove past our XX Temple here, and I saw a big red banner hanging from a distance. I thought it was a temple doing activities?As a result, the car drove to the main gate and found... (picture, jpg), the temple actually hung a big banner to recruit students!Some people send their teenage children inside!

--Huh?Don't monasteries generally only recruit adult graduates who have taken some Buddhist majors?How did you recruit children?

——Is it strange to recruit young children?Aren't there many in Shaolin Temple?

——Can that be the same?Entering Shaolin Temple is mainly to send children to learn Kung Fu. If they learn well and look good, they might even become movie and TV stars.Landlord, does this temple in your city also teach martial arts?

——I am the landlord, I don’t know very well, but I grew up here, and I have never heard of any martial arts inheritance in this temple?Otherwise, he would have been famous long ago!

--what is this?The last time I went to XX tourist attraction with my wife, there is a Taoist temple there, and the Taoist temple is still recruiting students!It is said that as long as there are people who are around fifteen or sixteen years old and have the root of wisdom... I wonder, all the people who go there are tourists, who might leave their children there and go home with their own couple?Yet there is!I just saw a couple who traveled all the way there just to send their child to a Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest!

——Actually, the people upstairs don’t know, that’s because recently many powerful people from different sects worked together to develop a cave, obtained a lot of Buddhist scriptures from it, and supplemented the inheritance of their respective sects. Only then did I start to recruit disciples to fill the sect with elites... No, I can't make it up anymore.

——Haha, what the upstairs said is not entirely correct, in fact, now that the aura is recovering, the spells that were practiced before can now be practiced to generate energy, and the recovery of Buddhism and Taoism is just around the corner!In the future, becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha is no longer a dream, it is really a great thing to benefit the human world~ Amitabha Buddha of Infinite Life (Heshi.gif).

——How could the two fellow daoists upstairs leak the heavenly secret?You must know that if you want to cultivate, you must choose seedlings with wisdom roots and great perseverance to succeed. Letting mortals know this will definitely cause chaos in the world... Let alone, I will go back to retreat first, and see you in 200 years.

——I'm leaving too, I'm going to go through the ninth catastrophe, I hope this time it will be successful, everyone in the building, see you in the future!

……

On the Internet, because of the sudden high-profile recruiting of monks and Taoists, there are many jokes. In reality, many people see more and more people in strange clothes wandering around, and gradually become numb after getting used to it.

In the domestic and foreign countries in the west of Huaxia Kingdom and south of Huaxia Kingdom, some mine owners who make a living from mining jade deposits are caught in a tangle.

The reason is very simple, of course because of all kinds of jade.

Jade has had an extraordinary status in China since ancient times. In ancient times, it was described as a gentleman, and the monarch, high-ranking officials and nobles had to be buried with them. The value of this thing in China has continued to rise.Until modern times, there have been jade crazes again and again, and the mining resources have always been less and less, so profiteers took the opportunity to hoard goods, reduce shipments, and then drive up the price of jade. Stir-fry pours.

But now, jade mines have inexplicably increased?

This kind of increase does not mean that the mines that have been dug out are filled again by the jade that suddenly popped up, but that the mines that have been surveyed and thought to be almost exhausted have found a large amount of high-quality jade after continuing to mine. !Even some mines that have been judged to be dug up and abandoned before, because of some accidents, it was confirmed that there are still a lot of jade mines hidden in them!

It stands to reason that there are so many jade stones, so just dig it out?But once these things are put on the market in large quantities, won't the price drop?But it’s not enough to dig slowly and sell with a little bit of shipment volume, because there is still peer competition.What's even more deceitful is that the mining methods used in the past are now becoming inexplicably ineffective!

They can still use machines and manual excavation for relatively poor quality jade, but the newly discovered jade with high quality is extremely difficult to dig!It will be more troublesome to polish later than before!Many machines have been scrapped because of this, which is simply inexplicable trouble for them!

The owners of the jade mines have been caught in pain and happiness, and some long-distance drivers have also encountered very strange things recently.

The high-speed routes that long-distance drivers are used to running sometimes unexpectedly fall into weird situations like a ghost hitting a wall—especially at night.What makes them even more creepy is that some people have seen mirages from a distance on the road!Or a huge black shadow flying across the sky!

A recent incident that has been spread by word of mouth among these long-distance drivers is very lively, that is, people often run from point A to point B. After filling up the gas at the usual gas station on the way, they actually ran out of gas in the car. Can reach the next gas station!If this kind of thing happened to only one or two people, it would be fine, but if it happened to more than one person, it would be like bumping into a ghost!

Then think about the rumors of encountering strange things in the wild, rumors of entering strange worlds, rumors of encountering monsters that I have heard from time to time over the years... Some drivers who are about to quit simply change their careers and return to their hometown to find a job. But work steadily.More people can only take these things as jokes, comfort themselves that it will not fall on their own heads, and continue to continue their previous work with fear...

In the school, the speed of getting information about these things that happened subtly and gradually outside is not fast, and even if they know, everyone just smiles knowingly, because they all know the reason of the matter. Things happen sooner or later.

The first-year students soon ushered in their third day of school, and the number of courses this morning was the most in a week, with three courses in full.

The first class is ancient Chinese. The teacher in the class is the familiar round-faced teacher Yuan. Teacher Yuan's classroom style is a bit like the wooden structure houses that students see in some old movies. With chairs and desks, each student does not have to sit on the floor during this class.Finally let everyone find a sense of reality that has not been time-traveled.

"My ancient Chinese class has only one central idea, which is to help everyone understand how to interpret the characters written by different ancestors in different eras? You must know that in each dynasty, the characters used to record and write have different meanings. They are all the same, the older the more concise. The same word may have completely different interpretations in different periods. Although the characters in the ancient times are very similar to the characters like Xiaozhuan that you have seen before, you can barely Read through, but the true meaning of it is somewhat different from those dynasties recorded in our history."

Teacher Yuan sat behind the desk with a big teacup on it. He paused and looked around the more than 100 students in the class with a smile: "After ten years of unremitting efforts from all walks of life, we have generally concluded that A relatively standard interpretation method, students must listen carefully and study hard in class, so that if you accidentally enter the Shattered Space one day, you will get a very powerful secret book inheritance, or if you are lucky enough to pick up the jade slip After that, there will be no embarrassing situation where you hold a heavenly book but can't understand it at all."

Teacher Yuan's class was as expected by the students. Although it was a boring ancient prose interpretation class, it was very relaxed and lively. In the first class, Teacher Yuan first introduced some common words in ancient prose Pick them out and interpret the different meanings according to different dynasties. When the one-hour class was about to finish, he raised his hand and swiped the huge blackboard behind him, and a dozen titles of books appeared densely.

Then he was very amiable with a smile on his face: "These books are the extracurricular readings that the teacher recommended to everyone today. If you have time, you might as well go to the library or use the APP to read them online. Reading more reference books can expand your knowledge. In terms of knowledge, after all, the content that can be covered in class is still limited, if there are any questions that you don’t understand, students can send me an email, and the teacher will answer you as soon as possible.”

Seeing the titles of the dozens of books, the students were all shocked, copying the titles in their notebooks, or simply took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the blackboard as souvenirs.

Yunling suddenly felt that he shouldn't have used up all five books yesterday!It seems that I can only read all those books quickly after I go back, and then go to the library to get new ones... Or should I consider reading them directly with the app?

After this class was over, the students reported their textbooks, walked quickly to the next class, the classroom of the field survival class, and couldn't help talking on the road.

"Why does it seem that the teachers in each class set aside so many extracurricular readings for us? If they do this in every class, how many extracurricular readings do we have to read this semester!"

"It shouldn't be, right? I think the books they are talking about now may be for us to have time to read slowly during this semester, and didn't the teacher say that? These are just extra-curricular reading materials. It doesn't matter if you read them or not. I just recommend everyone to read them." Check it out if you have time."

"Do you believe it? What if you get the content in the final exam?"

"..."

Yes, what if I pass the exam?

The author has something to say: Yunling (holding the extended book list): There is always an ominous premonition...

Wei Jingcheng: I agree.
