The Bright Gate was destroyed, and the Northern Alliance had no leader. All factions worked together to put down its remnants.The seal of the Nether Gap has not been removed, and the threat from behind the demon clan has never taken advantage of it to attack, and the world has finally returned to its former peace.

With the destruction of the Huaimeng family, only one Tianyu family remained among the five northern sects. Yuan Fa took the opportunity to force Emperor Tianding to write an abdication edict and become emperor himself. He changed the name of the country to Xu, known as Emperor Tianxu.Emperor Tianxu abolished the refugee system. Although he respected Dongling Jiange as the state religion, he no longer paid tribute to monks. Instead, he reduced or exempted taxes and encouraged the people to engage in more farming.

This is undoubtedly a satisfactory result for Gu Yusheng. However, when the war is over and the spoils are divided, and the masters of various factions gather together for the last time, they are a little at a loss about the next action.

Xu Zhenren is the spokesperson of the Luoxia Sect, and because of his seniority, he took the lead in asking the question without hesitation: "Master Gu, now that the north is pacified, and the world has changed, what should our alliance do?"

Gu Yusheng understood their thoughts. Previously, each faction was in a state of disunity. This cooperation finally made them realize the power of monks uniting. Everyone is still hesitating about whether to go back to the past.

However, Gu Yusheng had already had an idea about this matter, and he said directly: "We came to get rid of Shizong, and now the saints of the world are being punished, and the Dongling Sword Pavilion will continue to track down the traces of Kuyue and the Venerable. It's best to help, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

He said this frankly. He bluntly said that joining the various factions is to deal with the large and powerful Northern Alliance. Now that Jing Shizong has no other forces, naturally there is no need to form a group.

That's the reason, but Xu Zhenren saw Jianxiu sitting peacefully with other comrades, and when he heard that he was going back to the situation where he was fighting twice in three days, he couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant, "So, we just broke up like this? "

He was like this, but Taoist Yi Xiang couldn't wait to find time to fight Gu Yusheng, and rolled his eyes when he heard this, "It's just a joint fight, and it will naturally break up after the fight, don't you want to do it again?" A Northern Alliance?"

The Northern Alliance is a taboo right now, how could Master Xu be willing to have anything to do with this, and immediately said: "How could I have such thoughts, there are so many forests in the mountains and forests to live in these palaces, sooner or later you will be corrupted by the glory and wealth Soul, my Luoxia Party has always had only one evaluation for northern monks—vulgar!"

"You're right. They keep collecting spiritual materials like a rich man, and I don't know how many still remember to ask the immortal to ask. Their eyes are really shallow."

In the final analysis, the north and the south are enemies because of their different ideas. The northern alliance sees the southern monks as hypocritical, and the southern monks see the northern alliance as a common word. Taoist Yi Xiang is no exception. It is rare to agree with other people's opinions on this issue.

The old-school monks do not agree with anything about entering the world, and firmly believe that monks should cut off the world when they enter the Tao, and they can't even use their old names.Compared with them, Tian Fangzi is more down-to-earth, and can somewhat understand the thoughts of ordinary monks. At this time, he only said earnestly to Gu Yusheng: "A monk who can successfully ascend once in a thousand years, even becoming a Nascent Soul requires top-level talents and opportunities. Most monks stop at the golden core state in their whole life, and it is really difficult for them to realize Taoism."

Taoist Yi Xiang was a little bit offended by these words. People who don't ask questions are not qualified to cultivate immortals, and immediately said in a bad mood: "It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that they will never be able to aspire to the Dao in their entire lives."

After all, it is too difficult for people to understand each other. Shi Ying can hear their arguments. However, he is more worried about the current situation. He frowned and said:

"No matter what, the Northern Alliance has popularized monks in the world. No one is willing to give up the opportunity to prolong life. We can destroy the Northern Alliance, but we can't stop the people from cultivating immortals. But monks can't support the world. Someone has to farm and someone to do business. If everyone just wants to cultivate immortality behind closed doors, the world will be in chaos again soon."

When a person has great strength, he cannot do without the use of force. As long as Shi Ying thinks that street fights may have the destructive power of monks fighting in the future, he will feel that the future is not very bright.

He had mentioned this idea to Gu Yusheng a long time ago. At that time, Gu Yusheng was only silent, but now he finally expressed his different views, "Master, have you ever thought about encouraging the people to practice instead of stopping it?"

This is a bold proposal that no one has ever thought of. Before Shi Ying could ask, Master Xu said first: "What we want is for the people to resume production and continue to lead them to indulge in cultivating immortals. Isn't this the same as the Northern Alliance?"

Their surprise was also expected by Gu Yusheng. He has been thinking about how to solve the northern problem for these years, and now he finally has a clue, and he only talks in detail in the eyes of everyone:

"Cultivation prolongs life, can strengthen the body, and can also make people hear and see. It is a good thing. Since it is a good thing, if it is promoted to the public, it can also be regarded as a benefit to the people. As everyone said, practice requires qualifications, and childbirth is more A test of heart, true People who can become high-ranking monks are selected one in a million. As long as monks are not enshrined, those who cannot join the sect will naturally have to find another livelihood."

In the north, the deformed ethos of only cultivating immortals above all comes from the offering system. If there is no benefit in becoming a monk, they still have to work to obtain property, which seems to have no bad influence on the common people.No, just because monks have been cultivated on a large scale, low-level monks are no longer rare. They have to use what they have learned in fields that are more suitable for making money, such as farming, river transportation, and medicine. This is a good thing for mortals .

Tian Fangzi was the first to figure out the key point, and immediately said thoughtfully: "Master Gu means that the court guides the people to practice, but we don't accept disciples. After these people become monks, it has nothing to do with us. Find a way to make a living."

This is exactly what Gu Yusheng thought. In the past in the north, monks were so noble that mortals were oppressed.They can't let all the monks go back to the mountains and forests, so they can only completely promote them to the public, and at the same time, let the high-level monks completely stay away from the disputes of the world.Fortunately, the southern sects have liked to be high-ranking people since ancient times. They still prefer the reputation of being a fairy family who is out of the common world rather than glory and wealth.

For this reason, he also had contact with Emperor Tianxu through Yuanrui, and now he has revealed the arrangements that have been made:

"I have discussed with the imperial court that all the proceeds from the battle of Dongling Jiange will be donated to the national treasury. Emperor Tianxu will set up a monk school in Yuejing and establish lower-level colleges all over the country. From then on, all children who have reached the age of three must go to school. The best ones are selected to enter the Yuejing Academy. Those who have not graduated from the Yuejing Academy cannot obtain the title of monk, nor can they receive the spirit stones issued by the court. The Dongling Sword Pavilion will no longer recruit new disciples from the outside world, and only a fixed number of students will be recruited from each year. Yuejing Academy accepts newcomers."

Running a school has been a good thing since ancient times, and monks would not object, but Tian Fangzi grasped the key point, and said leisurely: "Cultivation methods are all secrets of various factions, and the imperial court doesn't have many secret books."

This is the reason why Gu Yusheng summoned the various sects today. He looked around the crowd and said with a light smile: "Please also show your own sect's introductory mentality, and send monks to teach in the academy. If the outstanding monks cultivated by the academy want to pursue the path of ascension, they will enter the sects to continue their practice and become your disciples."

Cultivators' skills are all unique secret books, and those that are slightly better are only taught to their own disciples, so how can they be easily taught to outsiders?As Gu Yusheng expected, Taoist Yi Xiang was dissatisfied when he heard the words: "You want us to give our thoughts to others?"

Tian Fangzi also wondered why Gu Yusheng promoted the academy, but now he understood a little bit.The monks trained by the imperial court from a young age have far more affection for their home country than those who cultivated in the mountains. The quota limit is also to reduce the number of high-level monks, so as to prevent their spiritual materials from being in short supply and repeat the mistakes of the Northern Alliance.

Each faction only accepts the best monks, and the rest will be distributed by the court. If the Yuejing Academy continues to run for a long time, the court will definitely grow into a force far superior to the Cultivation Sect. This move seems to save energy for the Cultivation Sect, but it is actually intended to Strengthen the power of the court.After thousands of years have passed, I am afraid that the alliances of various factions will not be able to match the strength of the imperial army.

However, the imperial court's intentions are in the world, and the monks pursue ascension without conflicting with each other.Although Tian Fangzi saw through the interest relationship behind it, he didn't expose it. He could only agree with him: "I think this method is good. In the past, when we recruited new disciples, we only waited for them to come to the mountain gate to learn from them. It was inevitable that we would miss many good candidates. After a lot of screening, we will definitely find a lot of talents. They also teach new disciples to build the foundation for us, and then we only need to teach the disciples advanced exercises, and we will have time to clean up."

Among the southern sects, Daoist Yi Xiang is straight, and Xu Zhenren is a kind person, but Gu Yusheng is still worried about Tian Fangzi.Fortunately, Tian Fangzi protects his own people for no reason. Dongling Jiange, as Shen Fengyuan's hometown, is also considered half of his own family in his eyes. As long as it is not detrimental to Tianling Sect, he will turn a blind eye up.

The chaos in the past made Gu Yusheng understand that there must be a unified rule in the world, and there must be a standard to judge good and evil.Therefore, he wants the court to have the power to manage the world and rectify the rule of law. The scope of this control is not only mortals, but also monks.

The cooperation of Tianling Zong could not be better, so Gu Yusheng turned to Taoist Yi Xiang who was the most opposed, "I also agreed with the court that all new monks must go to the seaside to serve for three years to fight against the demon clan after graduation. With experience, I believe that when the Yaozu invades in the future, Daoyinmen will definitely receive a lot of reinforcements."

When Gu Yusheng regained his composure, Taoist Yi Xiang was no longer his opponent, and just one sentence hit the nail on the door of Dao Yinmen.Sure enough, Taoist Yi Xiang lowered his head and thought about how many fewer people would die in the coastal areas, and finally softened his attitude.

"If we can really resist the monster race's invasion, Daoyinmen won't take any money in this battle, and all spiritual materials will be used to build coastal defense facilities."

The Luoxia Party was already indifferent to everything, and seeing that the strongest Daoyinmen agreed, Xu Zhenren also responded: "You are all concerned about the world, and the Luoxia Sect should cooperate. We don't have a suzerain, and the spiritual materials must be given to everyone. If the disciples share equally, more people will be sent to teach."

They have already expressed their views, and Tian Fangzi will naturally not dismantle Gu Yusheng's position, he just smiled and said: "Tianling sect will naturally advance and retreat with everyone, if the head of Gu needs anything, please let me know."

With their words, Gu Yusheng knew that the world was truly peaceful from now on. He had to let the monks return to the mountains and forests to practice before they were addicted to the wealth and honor of the world. It's settled, I will discuss with the Tianyu family later, after the Venerable is removed, each faction will go back to hermit, if there is no big trouble, I will ignore the world's affairs."

The overall situation has been decided, and the Southern Alliance is disbanded. Except for the envoys left to discuss with the imperial court about the establishment of a monastic school, all factions set off to return to their own mountain gates.What Emperor Tianxu was most afraid of was that the monks in the south would hang on like the monk alliance in the past. When these streamers streaked across the sky, the hearts of the civil and military officials in the court finally let go.

The battle between the North and the South ended, and the sword cultivator's battle to slay demons followed.After everyone left, Gu Yusheng and Shi Ying finally calmed down. They strolled along the city wall of Yuejing together, watching the ancient city slowly wake up and regain its former vitality.

The sky that had been gloomy for a long time finally cleared up. Shi Ying looked at Gu Yusheng, who had grown into a handsome young man under the sun, and asked her concerns, "Do you really want everyone to have the power of a monk?"

Gu Yusheng's thoughts on this are very firm. He looked at Shiying and said: "Master, people are always moving forward. There can't be only good people in the world. What we can do is to continuously improve the strength of the righteous way. As long as the evil does not suppress Right, the world is still bright and bright."

This remark goes against the purpose of Buddhism. Udumbara stepped into the human world because he wanted the world to stop fighting, but Gu Yusheng told him that good and evil are doomed to fight. Shi Ying couldn't help frowning: "This way the world will never stop fighting."

"Perhaps the Buddha would not understand such an idea, but I think it is not a bad thing to have desires. Only desires can be pursued. Human desires allow us to find the way of practice, and also make us a race that is completely different from wild animals. The so-called righteous way is not No desire, but a bottom line to pursue everything you want.”

Gu Yusheng and Shiying seldom have different opinions, but this time, as an apprentice, he refuted his master.What Buddha pursues is non-competition, but human life is impossible without contention. He likes his extraordinary and refined celestial grass, but he will never give up his human feelings.

At this moment, Gu Yusheng wrapped his arms around Master's waist, kissed his own fairy grass heartily, his eyes were full of human desire, "Master, people have two sides, and I will not just be a saint. Even if I know you and If we are together, we will not be able to return to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and I must lure you to stay in the world."

Udumbara wants to find a sage who can save the suffering in the world, get rid of all villains, and make the world a pure land without disputes.But he still doesn't understand that competition is a necessary condition for the survival of species, just as vegetation competes for soil, rain and dew, human beings also rely on competition to evolve and survive.People are born with desires, and desires will inevitably generate evil thoughts. Therefore, no matter how many times he reappears, it is impossible to truly purify the world.

Fortunately, he is now able to accept the imperfections in the world, just as Gu Yusheng said, even if the evil thoughts cannot be eliminated, as long as the good outweighs the evil, the world will be peaceful.

There is no perfect saint in the world, and the savior he chose has some flaws. However, for Gu Yusheng who was raised by him, Shi Ying even likes his flaws in obsessing over immortal grass. , and finally smiled with relief: "The fate of the world cannot be controlled by immortals and Buddhas, and neither can I. Your future is up to you to decide."

The author has something to say: Gu Yusheng: Master, I want to kiss you!

Shi Ying: OK.

Gu Yusheng: Master, I want to drive!

Shi Ying: Come on.

Tian Fangzi (envious): What a terrifying Buddhist player!

Shen Fengyuan: I escaped marriage with my own ability, why do you call me a devil?
