King of Black Mist

"Can you become an immortal even if you get promoted?" A dragon asked in confusion.

Many listeners had the same doubts.

Avalokitesvara showed a soft smile: "Pursuing the world with a golden whip in hand, showing spiritual power in golden armor, facing God for three days in an instant, saving souls in nine places - the official I am talking about is not an official in the mortal world, but a heavenly official."

"Heaven official?"

"Is he an official from Heaven?"

"The officials in the heaven are also heavenly officials, which is equivalent to those who become immortals without breaking the golden elixir. They are just third-rate people who do not know the way of heaven and have empty immortal positions." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

Golden elixir will not break into immortality?

Li Changzhou remembered the sword immortal he met when he helped Zheng Chenggong recover the treasure island in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He had a "Sword Controlling Nine Heavens" method, and the golden elixir could become an immortal.

No wonder the system evaluation is A-level, and the golden elixir can become an immortal. I am afraid that I will only be a human immortal, a third-class human immortal, for the rest of my life.

"What is the real heavenly official?" asked a white jade toad.

"In ancient times, there was a list of gods. Those who were named on the list were the real heavenly officials. There was also a promotion law. If you act in accordance with the law and are recognized by heaven and earth, you can be called a heavenly official. This method does not require surviving human tribulations."

"Please Bodhisattva teach us how to get promoted!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing also pricked up their ears, especially Xiaoqing. Her sister is about to become an immortal, and she has only been practicing for five hundred years.

Monsters have a long lifespan, but their cultivation speed is slow. It will take years and months for her to become an immortal.

If the normal historical development is followed, she will indeed not become an immortal. When Liu Bowen slays the dragon and the Ming Dynasty is established, most of the world's cleverness will be a value game.

During the Jiajing period, when the emperor, who said, "Every step is related to the lives of the people," wanted to become an immortal, the remaining dragon veins would fluctuate, and everyone in the world would compete for those five positions.

If the promotion method is really effective, it is indeed a shortcut.

But the Bodhisattva shook his head: "Now that the road is not good, the immortals in heaven have gone to other places, and the official road is blocked. Even if there is a way to promote officials, heaven and earth will not grant officials or titles."

Nature is about to take back all its inspirations. How could it waste resources on life officials at this juncture? Li Changzhou and other future generations of players will understand the reason just by thinking about it.

The people below are unwilling to give up.

"Bodhisattva, please teach us. Whether we succeed or not is our own destiny!"

"Bodhisattva, please show mercy!"

The scene could be described as a petition from all the people. Yang Qinglan saw a huge amount of faith swaying in the sky above Guanyin Yuan, like water in a bottle.

If she has so much power of faith, [Gushe Goddess] can probably increase her power by 1 to 2 seconds.

This is just a sermon. How powerful will the body of faith of Guanyin Bodhisattva be after so many years of operation?

"That's alright." Guanyin Bodhisattva agreed, "To be promoted, you need to submit a form first. To submit the form, you need to build a Dharma altar. The Dharma altar has no form, and the material can channel spirits. When the Dharma altar is completed, it says: 'Ascend to heaven and reach earth, leave the netherworld and enter the underworld. , give me a petition, and you are not allowed to stay. On the day of meritorious service, the official will be granted the title of heaven and earth."

Guanyinyuan fell to the ground silently, and everyone was focused on it, remembering all the details.

Those who had read a little bit took out pens and paper, Guanyin said something, and these people took note of it.

Yang Qinglan turned the Green Bee Sword into pen and paper, and carefully remembered that of course she did not need to be an official, but having airplanes did not mean that bicycles and buses were useless.

Even if it really doesn't work, it's good to increase your knowledge.

Promotion does not happen overnight. The first step is to submit a form, which is similar to signing up.

If you don't even report your name, how will heaven and earth know that you want to be an official?

If you hand over the form, your future actions will be recorded. If you go with the flow, you will be promoted to a higher position.

Ordinary Suncheon is useless, the merit is not enough, and it does not mean that the merit reaches a certain level, but the best among the many applicants.

With this kind of recruitment method, involution is inevitable.

God, this big bureaucracy and big capital actually admire involution - in addition to being an official, the winner is also involution.

Of course, whether it is involution or struggle is different from person to person, and everyone’s pursuit of life is also different. A hard-working life may not be a happy life, but hard-working and hard-working does not mean that you have done something wrong, and you should not be criticized.

The reason why I say this is because Li Changzhou decided to kill all the other players.

It is his life pursuit to live a life where he is not at the mercy of anyone and can do whatever he says, and he must fight for this.

After submitting the application, if you have incredible merit, you will have an official position.

After obtaining an official position, several characteristics will appear, the first is the 'golden whip'.

The golden whip beats all those who go against heaven and does anything that goes against heaven, and patrols the world on behalf of heaven. This is what Guanyin said before, "touring the world with a golden whip in hand."

The second is the 'golden armor'. Wearing the golden armor can gain immortal-level mana. This is 'wearing the golden armor to show your power'.

Next is the ‘green shoe style belt’, which protects the body.

Depending on the promotion method, the magical powers obtained are also different, but the 'golden whip', 'golden armor', and 'green shoe wind belt' are the basis.

The "Golden Body Mantra" passed down by Guanyin Bodhisattva, in addition to the "golden whip", "golden armor", and "green shoe wind belt", you can also obtain the "eyes of fire and eyes that dazzle the heaven and earth", and the fire and wind movement. , break through mountains and rocks, pray for sunshine and rain, cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits, collect plagues and poisons, soar clouds and mist, command thunder and so on.

"May I ask Bodhisattva, how do you truly become a heavenly official?" asked the mermaid whose upper body was human.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva looked towards the horizon, then looked back, and said with a smile: "The great demons of the three realms all bowed their hands, and the outsiders from all directions came to congratulate me, they are the 'Heavenly Officials'."

Everyone learned the "Golden Body Mantra" and expressed their intention to submit their petitions. After all, they usually follow the direction of heaven. What if one day they fail to become immortals through cultivation, and they become a blind cat but encounter a dead mouse when they are promoted, and become a heavenly official? ?

"This also allows us to accumulate good deeds in daily life, which is of great benefit to our practice." The jade toad said before.

"To accumulate good deeds is to follow nature?"

"Who said that? How could you say such ignorant words?"

Li Changzhou remained silent.

For humans, as well as monsters who have learned human thoughts, it is natural to accumulate good deeds and follow nature.

But are human beings, and the morality they summarize, really the principles implemented by God?

The sun will "extinguish" and become a white dwarf star in 5 billion years. During this time, will the good and evil of human beings have an impact on this matter?

Won't.

Some birds will eat their dead children, or feed their dead children to the surviving children. The surviving and grown-up children will even run back to the mother's nest to hunt their own younger siblings. what is this?

It may be said that they are evil, but the parents, brothers and sisters of birds who have done these evil things can live on and let their genes be passed on.

The so-called good and evil are actually the internal rules of human beings. If they are enlarged or reduced, it will be meaningless to accumulate good deeds.

"Bodhisattva." Yang Qinglan suddenly said.

This startled Li Qianxia, ​​just like when she stole breakfast in the first class, but the criminal law teacher asked her to talk about her understanding of the "stop form of intentional crime".

She seriously doubted whether the teacher knew she was having breakfast.

Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lotus throne looked over, and the Dragon Girl and Shancai Boy standing beside her also looked over.

If Li Changzhou remembered correctly, this boy who was good at making money should be Red Boy.

"Bodhisattva," Yang Qinglan said without any stage fright, as if she had really come to listen to the Dharma, "To be promoted, one must follow heaven, but everyone has two minds and two minds. How many wills does heaven have? Which one should we follow? Which one can be the fastest? Shangguan, be the greatest official?"

This sentence is both worldly and profound.

Even the Bodhisattva looked at her a few more times.

Guanyin replied with her gentle voice: "The Big Dipper changes every hundred thousand years, and so does God's will. Those who can permanently grasp God's will are saints. In a sense, saints are also officials.

"Below a saint, all living beings must act with a clear conscience. Don't force promotion."

"Then, Bodhisattva, which of the six ways to become an immortal is the best?" Li Changzhou asked.

Regardless of whether there will be a fight later, take advantage now if you have any.

I don't know if Li Changzhou is more handsome, or if there is something wrong with this problem, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled - not a business smile.

“This question has been asked to me every year since I started preaching.”

Everyone laughed.

Well, it seems it's not because Li Changzhou is handsome.

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said: "The best way to become an immortal is to become a first-class human immortal. For example, the breathing method is to swallow and exhale the essence of plants and trees, followed by the sun, moon and stars. The visualization method is the best to visualize the eternal and unchanging. Humanity Divine weapons, heaven, earth, mountains and rivers come second.

"There is no Dharma, there is Dharma outside the Dharma. In terms of form, you can follow the trend; as long as you obtain the Dharma in seeking and cultivating the Dharma, act in compliance with your original intention, and have a will as strong as a rock, it is the superior Dharma."

"How can I obtain the Dharma by seeking and practicing the Dharma?" Yaochi also asked.

Avalokitesvara smiled: "Jump into the Five Suffering Gates of Reincarnation, and use the sword of wisdom to slay the divine power. If you can gain wisdom from suffering, you have obtained the Dharma."

"What the Bodhisattva means is that one endures hardship in order to gain something. If one cannot obtain the Dharma through suffering, does one not have to endure the hardship?" Li Qianxia asked.

"My Buddha is not happy to suffer in vain." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva gave an affirmative answer, "I still need to take refuge in the Three Jewels."

"What are the Three Treasures?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"The Three Jewels are the Tao, the Sutra, and the Teacher." The Bodhisattva said, "The Tao is empty, formless and nameless. The Tao cannot be understood without the Sutras. The Tao is in the Sutras, deep and subtle, and non-teachers cannot understand its principles."

"What if there is no master?" Where did Li Changzhou and the others get their master? Already at the forefront.

Guanyin Bodhisattva picked up the flower and smiled: "Confucius once said, he is sensitive and eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions."

She smiled and said to Li Changzhou and the others, "You four will soon become immortals if you listen to the righteous teachings."

The rest of the audience were shocked and looked at Li Changzhou and the others.

They were still struggling to become immortals, but they didn't expect that these four people would be appointed by the Bodhisattva and would become earthly immortals in a short time? !

"Bodhisattva," at this time, the female fairy in green said, "Strong enemies are waiting outside. Taoist priests from various factions have colluded with Princess Iron Fan to attack Mount Putuo. I don't know what to do?"

Everyone came back to their senses from listening to the Dharma, and when they thought of their current situation, they all looked worried.

They are willing to help Guanyin, but their magic power is low. The rise and fall of Princess Iron Fan's banana fan can wipe out all their shrimps, soldiers and crabs.

"Bodhisattva," the dragon girl said, "I am willing to go out again to invite Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva."

"I can convince my mother." Shancai Boy also said.

"I'm afraid that both of you will never come back." Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and objected, "Don't worry, you just need to meditate and realize the Tao for a better life. Three Arhats have come to help me get rid of the demon."

"Who are the three Arhats?" Peach Blossom Fairy asked hurriedly.

"The Arhat who does not move, the Arhat who subdues demons, the Arhat who subdues the tiger."

"These are Arhats with great magic power! That's great!" Everyone looked happy.

In terms of human immortals, these three Arhats are all first-class human immortals, and all of them are great masters who can easily capture the Willow Tree Immortal and the Peach Blossom Immortal.

Li Changzhou and the four of them looked at each other with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

The good news is: people don’t have to look for it anymore;

The worry is: there are so many people here.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not say much on this matter, but instead warned: "Don't swallow the truth raw, nor accept it forcefully. You should seize the time and digest it well. Just like drinking tea, let the tea breath penetrate deep into the meridians."

After saying this, the Bodhisattva disappeared directly from the lotus throne. The Dragon Girl and the Shancai Boy led everyone to find a place to stay in Putuo Mountain.

Many people pooled their money together to build an altar and submitted their names using the promotion method of "Looking Up to the Sky and Bowing to the Earth, Golden Body Mantra".

The four of them, Li Changzhou, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, lived in the same courtyard.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing also plan to set up a Buddhist altar and practice the "Golden Body Mantra".

"There are still a few materials for the altar. I'll borrow some." Xiao Qing went out excitedly.

After a while, he came back with a pale face.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?" Bai Suzhen asked with concern.

Li Qianxia looked at Li Changzhou, and Li Changzhou said: "Now is not the time to get angry. What I do has nothing to do with me."

"Someone died." Xiao Qing said tremblingly.

"Someone died?" Bai Suzhen couldn't believe it.

This is Putuo Mountain, the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva. How could someone die in such a good place? Even Li Changzhou and the other four were a little surprised.

"What's the specific situation?" Yaochi asked thoughtfully.

Xiao Qing's face turned pale: "I didn't see clearly either. The other party was a turtle. Turtles are notoriously easy to bully, so I wanted to ask him to borrow some money. But as soon as I entered, I saw him dead inside. I didn't If you dare to stay longer, you’re afraid that people will think I’m the one who killed you, so run back quickly!”

"Go and have a look." Li Changzhou stood up.

He said to Xiaoqing: "You lead the way."

Xiaoqing looked at Bai Suzhen, not daring to go to the scene.

This is a Bodhisattva dojo. What if we are accused of being a murderer? He was simply framed for rebellion at the feet of the emperor.

"What are you afraid of?" Li Changzhou frowned, "As long as I'm here, who can do anything to you?"

"Can you beat Bodhisattva?" Xiaoqing was unconvinced.

"I'm just here to kill her." Li Changzhou stared at her and said.

Xiao Qing finally understood that it didn't matter whether Li Changzhou could defeat Bodhisattva, as long as he could kill her.

Everyone came to the yard where the turtle was. The turtle demon died in the room. A pile of jade stones were scattered in front of him, and some of the jade stones were piled up to form the prototype of the altar.

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan. Yang Qinglan waved as he wished, and the information booklet flew out.

She glanced at it twice and threw it to Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou laughed after reading it: "Interesting."

"What's wrong?" Li Qianxia took the booklet.

Xiaoqing poked her head in to see, but didn't dare.

"What to do next?" Although Yang Qinglan was asking, her expression was indifferent.

"I have a good idea." Yaochi smiled like a noble lady.

"Have you learned the Yuanshen Hui Sword?" She looked at Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I understand."

A small golden sword flew out from between his eyebrows and struck the turtle with a clang. The turtle, which was already a corpse, was as weak as if it had just died.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing looked at each other, and both saw surprise and horror in each other's eyes.

That was the method just taught by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and this demon had already learned it!
