Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"this……"

The monk was startled when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's hard to say!"

Liang Xiao also smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Yes, it's hard to say, it's hard to say!"

It's really hard to say.

If there is no Dharma practice in this world and it is an ordinary world dominated by emperors, then it goes without saying that he will definitely rebel. He will definitely rebel.

Even if he himself does not have the heart of an emperor, those under him will beg him, push him, or even force him to sit in that position.

With such a size, no one has a choice.

Either succeed or fail!

Or reach the 9th Five-Year Plan and be prosperous and wealthy!

Or be shattered into pieces and never recover!

There is no third possibility, and others will not give him a third possibility.

But this assumption does not hold.

There are laws in this world, you can practice, practice magical powers, and find the path and fruit of immortality.

The emperor cannot dominate everything, nor is he the noblest or most powerful being.

Power is in the hands of practitioners, and practitioners respect the three teachings.

Even an emperor is nothing more than a useless statue without the support of the three religions and the service of cultivators.

In addition, the emperor's dignity also has to bear the power of all the people, which is both a support and a drag. It is impossible to practice practice and it is difficult to extend one's lifespan.

Therefore, as long as there is a choice, no cultivator will give up his own path and become an emperor.

This Li Liuxian is extremely talented and famous all over the world. He also masters the art of flying swords and has a hidden reputation as a swordsman. It is a certainty that he will become a real person in the future and he is unlikely to give up his own path.

But he is not the emperor. With the size of Guo Bei Academy, whoever comes to power in the future will definitely suppress it and even destroy it at any cost.

With such an existence, which emperor can let it go without any checks and balances, let it develop, and claim the title of king without a crown?

Will he succumb to others, be manipulated by others, and live a life of humiliation?

Obviously not.

Liang Xiao has done some research and knows very well this person's temperament, which is called a domineering and self-centered person!

According to Liang Xiao's guess, there are only three possibilities for this person's future.

First, death of the body and annihilation of the clan. Needless to say, this is the result of failure.

Second, he fought for the throne, praised himself behind the scenes, and promoted an emperor. He and Guobei Academy lived in seclusion behind the scenes and took advantage of the situation to develop, and eventually became an existence like the three religious traditions, which will be passed down for generations and last forever.

Third, sit on one side and demarcate the territory as the king. Don't participate in the fight for the dragon, but don't let others step on your head. Be a local emperor who doesn't listen to the propaganda, just like the major sects, although they have to cede their territory. Some interests bowed to the new emperor and compromised, but it was also a way to survive.

Of the three, the second is the most likely.

At least that's what Liang Xiao thinks.

With this person's skill and courage, as well as Guo Bei's current foundation, Liang Xiao did not believe that he would be willing to be a small local emperor, settling in a corner and not competing with the world.

This is not consistent with his behavior.

You must know that in recent years, this person has acted extremely fiercely. Using Guo Bei as an attack, he has developed vigorously outside the Jinhua Mansion and expanded iron-bloodedly. Those who are in trouble with him are either persuaded by him with his sword or killed by him with his sword. All forces on all sides avoid its edge.

For this reason, he himself fought several powerful enemies, not only Ji Lei Ming Xiao and Bai Gui Yin Shan, but also fought several battles with others, including Zhengfa Zhenren from the Taoist and Buddhist sects.

If you had the intention to settle down in a corner, how could you act in such an extreme way?

Therefore, Liang Xiao was very worried.

I'm worried about Li Liuxian, and I'm also worried about Dharma King Shi.

According to rumors from the outside world, the two are not masters and apprentices, but close friends who have been friends for eight years and have a deep love and righteousness.

For this reason, the Master Shi of Mingxiao Temple not only appeared many times to intimidate all forces, but also invited Baigui Linyinshan Dao, who was also a close friend, and two Taoists to fight and debate with the monks who came to make things difficult. , and even killed two people in the end.

Even True Lord Evergreen, who suppressed Lan Ruo Guixie, was alerted by them and personally came forward to make peace, thus preventing the situation from escalating further.

This shows the depth of the relationship between the two.

Liang Xiao didn't know whether they had deep loyalty, but he could be sure that their interests were highly bound. If Li Liuxian succeeded in competing for the dragon in the future, then Mingxiao Temple and Yinshan Temple would definitely become the world's great sects and Taoists.

So, if I, the ninth prince of the Chen Dynasty, go to Mingxiao Temple, can I still get the elixir?

I'm afraid there is little hope.

This made Liang Xiao feel powerless.

In fact, he didn't really care about the magic elixir, since taking it wouldn't have much effect anyway.

It was this kind of despair that really made him feel uncomfortable, this kind of deep despair that the building was about to collapse and it was hard to recover.

Is this elder Chen, the elder Chen of the Liang family, really hopeless?

Liang Xiao's eyes trembled, then he raised his head and looked at the monk in front of him: "Master, only one person can solve the current situation. Can you tell me where the crossing saint monk is?"

The monk looked at Liang Xiao, who was clinging to life-saving straws like a drowning person, and sighed quietly: "I really don't know about this."

Although he already knew the answer, Liang Xiao was still a little lost when he heard what he said.

He pinned his last and only hope on that person.

That man... the traveling holy monk!

Back then, when his father, the current Emperor Xianzong, came to the throne, although he had great ambitions, the mess left by Yingzong was too deep and irreversible.

Until later, a monk came to the capital.

That monk, Dharma name Duxing!

As soon as he entered the capital, he went to a large Buddhist temple to discuss Dharma and Buddhist scriptures with eminent monks.

After three days of debate, the outcome is unknown.

All I know is that he left one temple and then went to another. In three months, he visited all the major Buddhist temples in the capital.

In the end, the power of Buddhism was integrated by him, and eminent monks from various temples used him as an example to go to various Taoist temples to discuss Dharma and debate scriptures.

This debate lasted for three whole months, and the Taoist and Buddhist disciples discussed the law and debated the scriptures nine times. One person in Duxing was able to defeat the three true kings. The Buddhist disciples defeated the Taoist disciples and won a great victory.

Later, Du Xing entered the palace, representing Buddhism, helping the young emperor to eliminate powerful ministers, kill traitors, reorganize the court, and restore the country's power.

After helping Xianzong regain control of the court, Master Duxing, who was named the "Holy Monk", led eminent monks from Buddhist temples and Buddhists from all directions to travel around the world to subdue the rampant demons, ghosts, and monsters everywhere.

The world will be cleared!

Xianzong also implemented the New Deal with the strong support of Buddhism, reorganized the country, and finally achieved ZTE.

It can be said that without the crossing saint monk, there would be no talented and wise Emperor Xianzong.

But just a few years ago, the holy monk Duxing, who led the Buddhist sect and supported the emperor, suddenly announced his retreat and disappeared without a trace.

Without the crossing saint monk, the wise and powerful Emperor Xianzong began to govern indiscriminately. He made various stupid moves one after another, causing the situation to turn sharply. The country that had finally regrouped would no longer be in chaos.

Even within Buddhism, due to sectarian opinions and incense disputes, they began to split and even fight against each other.

Even this "Wuhua" master was kicked out of the capital with him.

If there is anyone who can save the world now, it must be the Holy Monk of Crossing.

But where is the crossing saint monk?

Liang Xiao didn’t know.

He asked many people, including Wuhua, who was also a Buddhist monk.

But Wuhua said that he knew nothing about it.

This made Liang Xiao feel desperate.

How much he hoped that the crossing saint monk could return and persuade his frantic father, who was almost crazy, or simply join him and support him in rebuilding the country just like he supported his father back then.

He promises to do better.

However, however...

"Saint Monk Crossing, where have you been?"

Liang Xiao shook his head and glanced outside.

But after just one glance, he was stunned.

Outside the carriage, there was a bright golden light on both sides of the road.

Ears of rice, ears of rice, golden ears of rice.

There are fields on both sides of the road. The rice planted in the fields has matured, and the golden ears of rice are bent down by the plumpness. Looking at it, it is like a golden ocean, which dazzled Liang Xiao's eyes.

He didn't know how to describe it.

For him who grew up in a deep palace, this kind of farming scene was extremely rare.

Not to mention……

"Stop!"

Liang Xiao woke up with a start and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

Looking at Wuhua again, he was also staring out the window at this moment, staring at the stretches of golden rice fields, frowning slightly.

"Master, let's go down and have a look!"

The driver stopped, Liang Xiao said hello and got off the carriage.

Seeing this, Wuhua said nothing and followed him to the field.

"Master, look at this rice!"

Liang Xiao looked at the golden and plump rice ears in front of him. He stretched out his hand with some excitement, pulled off one, peeled off the outer shell, put a few round and plump rice grains like white jade into the palm of his hand, and then poured it into the palm of his hand. Chew it in your mouth.

"This rice..."

"Not ordinary rice!"

"The essence and nutrients inside are obviously higher than ordinary rice!"

"And the yield. I'm well-read and have read a lot of agricultural books. Generally, rice can produce up to one or two hundred kilograms per mu."

"How much does this mu produce now, one thousand catties, or two thousand catties?"

“Is this the way to cultivate culture and cultivate agriculture?”

"No, no, no, no matter how literary a person is, farming is what our predecessors have done before. Even in the years of great disasters, there was a great scholar who sacrificed his life for righteousness and spent his whole life cultivating to ripen the grain in the fields, but the increase was not much. How did he do it? ?”

"Did he make any special modifications?"

Liang Xiao grabbed the rice, feeling surprised and happy, sometimes scared and angry, and seemed a little crazy.

When Wuhua saw this, he didn't say much because he was also surprised.

At this moment...

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing?"

A shout came, making the two of them startled. Looking back, they saw an old farmer running over with a hoe.

The old farmer looked at Liang Xiao and saw him stepping in the field with a rice ear in his hand. He immediately became angry and said, "Okay, you dare to steal something. Come on, follow me to see the official!"

After that, he stepped forward to hold Liang Xiao.

"presumptuous!"

Liang Xiao didn't move, but the horseman beside him shouted loudly and hit the old farmer with a palm.

The old farmer had never seen such a battle before, and he was about to be hit by the opponent.

"Amitabha!"

At the critical moment, with a Buddha's name, the golden Buddha's light flowed past, and the groom's palm movement disappeared.

It was Wuhua who took action.

"Don't act rashly!"

Liang Xiao also woke up with a start and immediately stopped the groom.

But the old farmer was frightened, so he sat down on the ground and looked at the three people with a mixture of shock and anger: "You, you still dare to hit people?"

"This old man, we..."

Liang Xiao showed his princely demeanor and was about to explain.

But the old farmer ignored him and shouted directly.

"Help, someone stole something!"

"Who, who stole?"

As soon as they shouted, a group of farmers came from the surrounding area and surrounded them.

"this……"

Seeing this, Liang Xiao finally realized what it means to have unruly people come out of poor mountains and bad waters!

Just when he was thinking about how to escape.

"what happened?"

A group of people rode their horses and rushed into the arena. They were actually several young men and women dressed in fine clothes and carrying swords.

"It's Xun Sheng!"

"You came just in time!"

"They steal!"

"Hitting people!"

All the farmers started talking at once.

"alright!"

The leading young man suppressed everyone's words, and then came to Liang Xiao and the others: "What's going on?"

Liang Xiao looked at him, raised his hands and asked, "May I ask who you are...?"

"We are the on-duty patrol students of Guobei Academy."

The young man's expression remained unchanged: "Who are you?"

"Guobei Academy?"

"On duty as a patrol student?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then said: "We are merchants who came here from other places. When we saw the rice in the fields so full, we were so happy that we lost our temper for a moment. It was not intentional. I am willing to compensate this father-in-law for his losses."

After that, he asked the driver to take out a piece of silver.

The young man looked at him, then at the old farmer, took the silver ingot, pinched it with two fingers, and broke off a small piece.

Afterwards, he handed the broken piece of silver to the old farmer, and then returned the large ingot of silver to Liang Xiao.

"In Guobei County, the law is like iron. One is one, and two is two. I missed you unintentionally, and it is the first offense, and I have not hurt anyone. I will let this matter go. If there is another time, you will be punished."

"Okay, let's disperse."

After saying that, he turned around and dispersed the crowd.

"..."

Liang Xiao looked at the piece of silver that had been torn off in his hand, with a strange look on his face and a frown on his face.

On the other side, Wuhua said nothing, staring at the official road, frowning slightly.

"Let's go!"

Those few people didn't say much, got on their horses, and were about to leave.

Seeing this, Liang Xiao hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"

Several people turned around; "Is there anything else?"

Liang Xiao asked: "How can I get to Guobei Academy?"

"Guobei Academy?"

Several people looked at him: "This is it."

"Is this here?"

Liang Xiao was surprised and didn't know why.

The young man on horseback explained: "The entire Guobei County is included in the academy. There are nine main courtyards, twenty-four branch campuses, thirty-six middle schools, seventy-two elementary schools, and many academic fields. The school building, the cafeteria, the school grounds... these are all Guobei Academy, why, didn't anyone tell you when you came?"

"..."

Liang Xiao was silent for a while, and then said: "How dare I ask Li Liuxian where Mr. Li is...?"

"The dean is teaching in the main courtyard today. Here is the map and the rules of the academy. You should be literate from the looks of it. Go by yourself. We still have to patrol every day!"

Several people threw a booklet to Liang Xiao, then turned their horses' heads and galloped away.

After the group of people left, there was also the sound of horse hooves in the void, and the sound of the collision of gold and iron armor, as if a troop of soldiers and horses disappeared invisible.

"Master, this..."

Liang Xiao looked at the booklet in his hand, and then looked at Wuhua, a little at a loss.

Wuhua ignored it and looked at the direction where the group of people were leaving, frowning and unable to relax.
