Exorcism

If it weren't for Grandmaster Pang Shan, who had been representing him for more than five years, Shen Jixian would not have known about the complicated relationship between Tongtong and Long Binhui. Top/point/ .3.

For Taoism, mortals have two crucial roles, one is to select qualified disciples, and the other is to continuously provide materials.

Once Taoist priests are obsessed with spiritual practice, they will be particularly uninterested in having offspring. Even if they have had mortal and Taoist connections, more than half of them will not have offspring. Most of the rest will only have one child, like Shen Zhun and Yang Baozhen. Taoist priests with ten children are very rare in the Taoist tradition, and they will eventually have to recruit a large number of disciples from mortals.

Taoism requires a variety of materials, as many as tens of thousands. If each of them is collected by a Taoist priest, it will greatly affect the practice. Fortunately, mortals can do these things, so leaving it to them becomes a natural choice.

These two functions have a common requirement for mortals, that is, large numbers. The larger the population, the more Tao roots and materials that may be produced. This is all the requirements of Taoism. As long as it is met, other things are not important.

In order to allow human beings to multiply in large numbers, Dao Tong made many attempts, giving up a little power in each attempt, and finally handed over almost the entire human world to Long Binhui.

"Don't think that the Taoists turned a blind eye to what Long Binhui did." Shen Jixian found that some things were particularly difficult to explain. Mu Xingqiu was just a Taoist priest who lived for less than thirty years. He was born in the early summer and died in the late summer. There is almost no difference between insects and insects, but Shen Jixian has to explain to Xiao Chong what snowflakes look like in winter, "Taotong has a history of more than 130,000 years. In the previous 40,000 to 50,000 years, Taotong was more or less involved in managing mortals. Every dynasty The changes in the vassal states and the civil strife of Longbinhui all have the interference of Taoism. "

"I have never seen this in books." Mu Xingqiu has read many books, including the thick "Qiankun Ding", and has never seen any record of Taoism directly intervening in mortal affairs.

"As early as more than ten generations ago, the masters believed that these things were not suitable for low-level Taoist priests to watch. Only Taoist priests who pay attention to the spirit, or Taoist priests like me who have occasionally served as masters, are qualified to view the secret history of the Taoism."

"I see." Mu Xingqiu was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He wanted to know more, "Later on, Taoism no longer directly interfered in mortal affairs. Why?"

"Because the Taoist priest has observed enough and found that interference has no meaning at all. Shen Jixian pointed to his head, "The Taoist priest remembers everything. Different from the books that low-level Taoist priests can read, the records in the Secret History are more accurate and detailed. I still remember the shocking feeling after reading it for the first time. Everything is repeated. This is true for Taoism, and even more so for ordinary people. Taoist priests have a long life, so each repetition lasts for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Mortal life is short, with a cycle lasting hundreds of years. Daotong discovered that no matter whether or how to interfere, this cycle will not change. Do you think the emperor or the chief of Longbinhui is not good?

Without you taking action, there will be mortals who will overthrow him; you think the person you choose is more suitable, but after several generations of inheritance. He will still deviate from the original design of Taoism, and sometimes even become Taoism's enemy. "

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while. He was not "shocking", but Shen Jixian's words were indeed a bit beyond his understanding. He was too young and had too little experience. It was difficult for him to imagine how history of more than 130,000 years could be repeated over and over again.

"The Taoist tradition does not interfere in mortal affairs, but allows a few people in the Longbin Society to use soul-changing talismans to extend their lives indefinitely? Wouldn't they become...another kind of Taoist priest?"

"First of all. Taoism needs a small group of stable people to control Longbinhui. They have enough understanding of Taoism and can strictly implement the agreements made over the years. Secondly. The soul-changing talisman is not perfect. It should be said that it has great consequences. The hidden danger is that after the soul changes body three times, it will become very unstable. The new body will be lethargic and weak. Even if it is just a simple sleep, the soul may leave the body unknowingly and never come back. In this way, he will die. ”

"The Great Talisman Master can usually live for one hundred and fifty years. Using this method, he can extend his lifespan to four to five hundred years, which is similar to that of Taoist Taoist Yanyan." Mu Xingqiu did a simple calculation, "If the person who reincarnates the soul Once a Taoist priest, you can live longer."

Shen Ji nodded first, "In this way, the controllers of Longbinhui can think like Taoist priests."

"I think there should be at least one Talisman Master who is different. He has a particularly high number of soul reincarnations, and his lifespan is even longer than that of a high-level Taoist priest." Mu Xingqiu remembered that when he said that the controllers of Longbinhui had been living for tens of thousands of years, When they were from the same group of people, Shen Jixian did not deny it.

The head of the Five Elements Section did not deny it now, "You know enough. How many soul changers there will be in Long Bin and how many times they change souls are their own affairs, and the orthodoxy will not interfere."

"Where's Shen Geng? Long Binhui took Shen Geng in, and the Taoist order didn't even interfere with this kind of thing?"

"Shen Geng was an accident. I have received assurance from Long Binhui that they do not know Shen Geng's real name, let alone that he is a criminal pursued by Taoism. Strictly speaking, they have not violated the agreement."

Two of Shen Geng's memories were artificially erased, so Mu Xingqiu had no trust in Long Binhui, but he did not intend to argue with the leader on this matter, "That's it, Daotong is still Daotong, Longbinhui is still Longbin meeting?"

"This is the only way. Don't forget that the demons are about to return to the world, and that is the most important enemy of the orthodoxy."

Mu Xingqiu suddenly wanted to understand something from the past, "At the beginning, the various Taoist families were unwilling to support Duanliu City. Was it because of the same reason?"

"What?" Shen Jixian was slightly surprised by the change of topic.

"The most important enemy of the Taoism is the demon clan, so the demon clan must be left to mortals, that is, Long Binhui, to deal with it. However, Longbinhui is too weak. In order for the demon clan to give them a heavy blow, it is best to occupy half of the Shengfu Dynasty. Only by directly threatening the survival of Long Binhui can they stimulate their fighting spirit. Pangshan's defense of Duanliu City is a wrong thing, because it shows the power of Taoism and gives Longbin Hui something to look forward to. "

Shen Jixian sighed softly, "At that time, I did not have the position of Acting Grand Master, and I didn't know much about the relationship between Taoism and Longbinhui. But what we did was not wrong. Although the senior Taoist priests had longer-term considerations, they would not Preventing ordinary Taoist priests from doing what they should do. The Battle of Duanliu City was an accident, and it also illustrates why Taoism should not directly interfere with mortal affairs: what was completely correct at the time may turn out to be a big mistake a few years later. Look, Long Binhui and the entire human world have become weaker. They take it for granted that Taoism will take action to defeat the demon clan sooner or later. As far as I know, Longbin Hui has not even expanded its army."

"Where are those soul-changing talisman masters?"

"They just live as long as a Taoist priest, but they don't have the inner elixir of a Taoist priest, let alone the heart of a Taoist priest. Their ideas are the same as those of ordinary people, and they are often weaker and more cunning. Once they find that they can gain something for nothing, they would rather lose more than half of their territory With the population, they are not willing to let Fu Lu Master go to the battlefield." Shen Jixian's voice became stern, indicating that he was also dissatisfied with Long Binhui.

Things seemed to have entered an endless loop. Just because a dozen Pangshan Taoist priests showed their will to fight in Duanliu City, Long Binhui took off the responsibility of resisting the monsters from their shoulders. Put it gently on the ground, and you and the Taoist priests will stare at each other, guess at each other, and give in to each other to see who can't calm down first and pick up this responsibility.

However, the various Taoist traditions did not prevent the young disciples from joining the Demon Slayer Club, and there was some faint encouragement. Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he did not ask any more. He was far from being able to fully understand the thoughts of the high-ranking Taoist priests. There is no use asking.

"Zuo Liuying is a Taoist priest. He should have understood what you said, but it is his decision to stick to Duanliu City."

"Zuo Liuying is a weirdo." Shen Jixian answered very briefly, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was even more obvious.

This is also something that low-level Taoist priests cannot understand and should not ask. Mu Xingqiu turned to ask: "Who is the person who changed the soul in Xin Youtao's body? The chief talisman master? It's definitely not Qu Xungui. He doesn't even belong to the 'group' of people in the Long Bin Society."

"I've said so much, but you still refuse to give up?" The dissatisfaction in Shen Jixian's tone disappeared, and it seemed that only pure curiosity remained.

"I'm very grateful to the Prime Minister for taking me seriously and being frank. This has made me understand a lot of things, but my decision has never changed. Please rest assured, Prime Minister. I will not cross the orthodox line and put Pangshan into an embarrassing situation. . For Long Binhui and ordinary people, Daotong will still stay out of the matter."

It was Mu Xingqiu's turn to say half and half, and Shen Jixian smiled slightly, "You have to understand that high-level Taoist priests are not opposed to change, but in order to ensure that their practice is not affected, most people would rather stay the same. Zuo Liuying is a weirdo, and so are you. . I still can’t tell whether Zuo Liuying’s strangeness is a good thing or a bad thing for Daotong. As for you, I can only hope that it is a good thing for you.”

Mu Xingqiu extended the Taoist courtesy to Shen Jixian. He still had two small questions. Although he had already guessed the approximate answers, he still wanted to ask them clearly.

"Why don't Taoist priests change their soul talismans so that they can live a few more lives?"

"Because the heart of a Taoist priest does not allow us to do this. In order to seize a suitable physical body, it will completely disturb the state of mind. Of course, there are more direct reasons. You cannot persuade a young and promising high-level Taoist priest to give up his physical body. The only The only choice is a low-level Taoist priest. I can use a set of sweet words to persuade you that it is an honor to give your body to me. Then what? , to become Mu Xingqiu, who is at the seventh level of inhalation and has an uncertain future, my inner elixir and Taoist roots cannot be transferred to you. After the soul change, your physical condition will not be worse, and it is almost impossible to become a high-level Taoist priest. I would rather end my life than settle for the next best thing. I don’t even want the sixth level of Xingluo’s body, let alone you.”

Mu Xingqiu also thought so. www.cm Talisman masters are still mortals, and the differences between each body are not very big. People like Xin Youtao can be called rare treasures. For Taoist priests, there is an insurmountable gap between the physical body and the physical body.

"Note that the Taoist priests and masters can see the secret history of the Taoism, so will the only Patriarch Fu Yuemang in the world, and the Taoist Fu Rimang who has not been there for many years, see more and more secret records?"

Shen Jixian did not answer this question, perhaps because he could not answer it at all, "I will inform you within three days at most whether you can participate in the consultation with the senior Taoist priests."

"Thank you. Disciple, please leave."

Mu Xingqiu knew some secrets. In fact, he also had secrets of his own, which he carefully guarded with mental illusions and would not be revealed easily.

He was wondering, is the truth that the young demon said can only be understood after becoming stronger, the secret of obeying Yuemang and obeying Sunmang Taoist priests?

He was wondering if Fangfang Broken Pill had become so powerful just a moment ago that he still couldn't understand the second page of memories sent to him. Is it also related to the Taoist secrets?
