"Actually, the so-called "immortals" are not entirely correct. We are not so-called immortals, but monks, practitioners. According to the more orthodox academic circles in the current cultivation world, immortals are only those who practice the immortal way. In the ultimate realm, after your cultivation has broken through a specific existing realm in the human world, you can ascend to immortality. According to the Taoism, mystical skills, and ethnic groups they have comprehended, monks can be roughly divided into immortals, demons, demons, Buddha waits.”
Looking at Qingyun who looked like a star with admiration, a trace of pride flashed across Yao Mengxun's face and he continued:
"Since there are still many righteous sects in Jiuzhou today, and most of these sects focus on practicing immortality, nine out of ten are immortals. This is why the world calls monks immortals. But righteous people have always been opposed to it. Those who can gain a foothold in the righteous path can only comprehend the Immortal Way and the Buddhist Way, while those who are gradually being excluded and slaughtered are demons."
At this point, Yao Mengxun's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he seemed a little sad but did not stop, and continued to Qingyun:
"Of course, there is an essential difference between demons and demons. When animals, plants, and trees have spirits, they turn into demons. Most of their skills are inherited in the blood, and their origins can be traced back to the ancient demons. However, many of the skills contain elements of nature. The cruel principle of natural selection, so some demon spirits will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and act deviantly. However, it is said that the human body is truly in line with the way of heaven and is the easiest body to cultivate. I don’t know if it is true or not. Maybe this is why the demons will transform. The reason why he takes the form of a human or often eats living people alive.”
Qingyun listened extremely carefully, and even if he had questions, he did not ask them immediately. At this time, Yao Mengxun paused, his voice was a little soft, and he said:
"The so-called demon is a partial term that people get after practicing demonic arts. It is said that the demonic arts in this world started from the ancient times. Intelligent human beings understood the principle of natural selection based on the battles between beasts. The creation of various techniques may more or less draw on the essence of some demon techniques."
As if he was unwilling to talk about the topic of "demon", Yao Mengxun's voice became softer and softer:
"However, some magic arts tend to amplify one's negative emotions without extinguishing one's own rationality, so they sometimes act in extreme ways. The most important thing is that the two powers of immortality and magic and the authentic sect of the demon sect seem to be innately at odds with each other. As a result, over time, After the growth of the human race, coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the righteous sects, a situation has been formed in which the good and the evil are in long-term opposition to each other, and the immortals and demons stand against each other. However, many things cannot be generalized about the good and evil of the CPPCC."
Yao Mengxun did not continue the topic of good and evil, but ended it here. His ethereal voice was extremely pleasant, and Qingyun felt very comfortable listening to it. He kept nodding and saying:
"Sister Meng, you know so much, but I think the difference between good and evil does not lie in the race or camp you belong to, but in a person's true heart.
Qingyun's words seemed to touch the soft place in Yao Mengxun's heart. She gently fiddled with a strand of long hair hanging by her ears and said with a smile:
"I only learned these sayings from classics. I hope Xiao Yun'er can remember what you just said."
Then, she began to introduce the distribution of sects in various places:
"It is far from clear how Kyushu was named, but the boundaries of the territory change every few years due to competition between sects. To put it simply, the Kyushu we live in is occupied by the two paths of good and evil. The right path is roughly the same as before. The three sects mentioned above are ruled by four sects, and each of the seven sects occupies one state. The three sects are Qingxutian in Liangzhou where we are now, Jingcitian in Yuzhou, and Shenhuatian in Yizhou. These three sects are known as the right path in the world. Qingtian Pillar is also the largest of the three families, among which Qingxutian has been vaguely occupying the position of the leader of the righteous path since ancient times."
"Huh, in the final analysis, they are just a group of cunning and deceitful villains. Think about the virtues of those Qingxu Tian juniors just now!"
Before Yao Mengxun could finish speaking, Lei Jiang snorted disdainfully. However, she did not respond to Lei Jiang's ridicule, but continued to introduce to Qingyun:
"The four sects are the Yanzhou Zhengyi sect, the Qingzhou Kuixing sect, the Lianzhou Qionghua sect and the Yuezhou Immortal Sword sect at the destination of our trip. They are all rising stars who have flourished since ancient times or after ancient times. Compared with three days, The foundation of his words is slightly insufficient, but he is still much better than other first- and second-rate sects, so these four sects can each take over a state."
Looking far into the distance, Yao Mengxun's gaze began to become profound, and he said leisurely:
"Looking at the four sects of the Three Heavens and even the righteous ways of the world, although most of them practice the immortal way, the directions of the mysterious skills of each sect are also different. For example, the Immortal Sword and Qionghua sects use swords to establish respect, but the Kuixing sect uses star divination as the first choice. But. As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination, and all methods are inseparable from the same origin, which is why the current world of cultivation is so prosperous as never before."
After saying that, Yao Mengxun returned his gaze, turned his gaze to Qingyun, and then continued as he walked:
"Of course, Xiao Yun'er, you have also seen that it took us several months to reach only a few cities in Liangzhou. This shows that the size of a state is immeasurable. Therefore, it is an exaggeration to rule a state. We can only It is said that this sect is the largest and most influential in the local area and has the most vassal sects. Taking Qingxutian as an example, there are many second- and third-rate sects in Liangzhou who are not bound by them, because some people's orthodox traditions are very old. Perhaps it can be traced back to ancient times, but now it has fallen into the torrent of the times, and it still has the temperament of a down-and-out prince in the mortal world."
Yao Mengxun sighed softly and continued:
"A sect can go from taking root to gaining disciples. If a family does not have some foundation, one or two families may be easily defeated, but no one can offend the public. Instead of injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred to oneself, it is better to compete through competition. To achieve a win-win situation, as long as we agree on major issues. So now, almost all the second and third-rate sects in Liangzhou, who are convinced or not, will go to Qingxu Heaven through selection more or less, and practice in their hearts Holy place.”
"How can Qingxu Tian be considered a holy land for cultivation now?"
Lei Jiang muttered disdainfully, causing both Yao Mengxun and Qingyun to laugh. Qingyun couldn't help but secretly thought that Lao Lei's prejudice against Qingxutian was really deep. Yao Mengxun continued:
"In this way, Qingxutian got fresh blood, and these new disciples got better cultivation resources, advanced skills and even the opportunity to explore many small worlds. Once they succeed in learning, they will be able to Small sects and small sects can naturally rise with the tide, and it is said that this is the case with the rise of the four sects. And this is the general situation of Qingxu Tian, and even the entire righteous path."
As early as three days after hearing Yao Mengxun's words, Qingyun felt awe in his heart and thought to himself:
"Could it be that the "Tian" that Grandpa Liangshan asked me to pay attention to is one of these three families? Is the murderer also a disciple of one of them?"
Thinking of this, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked:
"Sister Meng, has this been the largest sect in Jiuzhou in the past three days? Is there no other sect called Tiantian?"
Qingyun's innocent face made Yao Mengxun not think too much and said casually:
"At least as far as I know, no one in the righteous way would be stupid enough to commit this taboo, and even less so in the evil way."
After hearing what Yao Mengxun said, Qingyun remembered the names Qingxutian, Jingcitian and Shenhuatian in his heart, and planned to inquire in detail in the future.
After talking so much, Yao Mengxun looked at Qingyun and listened with great interest. He had no intention of taking a rest and continued talking with great interest:
"Three days and four sects of the Right Way occupy the seven major states, and the remaining ones are the Demon Sect in Jingzhou and the Juexian Sect in Yunzhou."
Speaking of this, a smile flashed across Yao Mengxun's face, while Lei Jiang showed pride, but Qingyun didn't notice it and only listened to her say:
"These two giant demon lords are also very powerful. This can be seen from the fact that they use the power of two states and two gates to resist the entire righteous path. It is related to the overall looseness of the righteous path and the internal fighting between the three days and four factions. The difference is that although there is a lot of competition and bloodshed between the two demon sects, they are extremely united to the outside world. As long as you are loyal enough to the sect, there are generally no restrictions on what kind of skills you practice."
"good."
Lei Jiang couldn't help but interject again. Yao Mengxun gave Lei Jiang a somewhat meaningful look, as if to warn him not to say too much, then turned around and continued:
"They gave birth to countless magic heroes during their fighting, and both sects in their respective states were able to give orders and respond to hundreds of calls, making almost all small sects bow their heads, and even many righteous sects couldn't stand it. There are also many examples of families being relocated due to the suppression of three days and four factions. It is because of such unity that the good and the evil have been able to maintain a balance between the constant struggle and killing for so many years."
In the sunshine that Qingyun envied, Yao Mengxun took out a delicate water bag from his treasure bag, drank a little water to moisten his throat, and then continued to tirelessly introduce to Qingyun:
"This is the general situation within our human race. The overall situation of the demon race and the human race is also very similar to that of good and evil. There are also some barbarians, overseas monks, etc. I won't tell you more. , but with the deepening of practice and the improvement of experience, both you and me will eventually know all these mysteries in the world."
Yao Mengxun's words were actually full of profound meaning. Although she knew that if the cold disease could not be cured, Qingyun would not be able to practice at all and would even die soon, but she still wanted to plant a seed of hope in Qingyun's heart.
Having said so much in one breath, Yao Mengxun felt as if he had finished speaking for the whole day, but Qingyun still sounded unfinished.
With such great momentum and turbulence, there are too many mortals who cannot imagine its existence, because men are born with adventure and passion in their bones.
Looking at Qingyun's widened eyes, Yao Mengxun shook his head and asked with a smile:
"Xiao Yun'er, haven't you heard enough?"
Seeing Qingyun nodding blankly, she couldn't help but smile and said:
"Well, if you have any questions you want to ask, just ask, and I'll answer you if I know what I know. Even if you don't know, you still have to let me rest, right?"
