Lin Xiaolu had a strange feeling that the way back was always faster than the way back. At least that's what he thought. He felt that going back to Emei from the Tang Dynasty was much faster than going from Emei to the Tang Dynasty. It was obviously a round trip. The time is almost the same, but that's how it feels, the way back is faster than the way out.
Two days later at noon, Emei, Zhaixingfeng
"Boss!"
At the top of the snow-capped mountain, Lin Xiaolu came to the cave shouting, followed by Shangguan, his sister and others.
According to the time, Li Mingru should have come back, so as soon as Lin Xiaolu returned to Emei, he rushed to the top of the mountain, ready to tell Li Mingru that he wanted to get married to Aning, but when he stepped into the cave, he was stunned on the spot.
Behind them, Shangguan's cantaloupe, pineapple, pomegranate, and Xiao Yu'er were all stunned for a moment when they arrived.
I saw that the cave with a bonfire was already full of people.
Li Mingru kept sucking the gourd and drinking.
Ye Qingluan is chewing sugar cane.
Wu Xin Zen Master holding Buddhist beads.
Shangguan Sheng was flipping through a book and smiling obscenely from time to time.
In addition, there were Wu Gu who was reciting scriptures silently, Ha Yi who was chewing fried chicken legs, and Handsome Duck who was warming himself by the fire with his legs crossed.
Six people and one duck were sitting around the bonfire in the cave, seeming to be discussing something.
With so many seniors gathered together, several young people were confused. Shangguan Hamigua was the first to react and looked at Shangguan Sheng with a confused look on his face.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Ah~ I haven't seen you for a long time, little monk Wugou." Shangguan Shiliu rushed towards Wugou like crazy. Wugou's face turned red and he ducked away naturally, then watched Shangguan Shiliu hit his head on the ground.
In the field, Lin Xiaolu's face was full of doubts. He looked at Li Mingru and said hesitantly: "Boss, what are you..."
Li Mingru smiled and asked a few people to sit down, then smiled at the young people and said:
"Originally I wanted to go find you guys, but now it's just right, let's talk about it together."
Lin Xiaolu:? ? ?
In the cave, Li Mingru held a wine gourd across the bonfire and smiled mysteriously at a few teenagers:
"Little guys, do you want to go to the world of immortality?"
Lin Xiaolu:......
On the side, Shangguan Sheng, who was reading a book, glanced at Li Mingru impatiently:
"Thief, can you stop ink stains?"
Shangguan Sheng smiled at Lin Xiaolu and others:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. A senior in heaven has recently left seclusion and set up an academy for cultivating immortals. He plans to select some young talent from all over the world to go to heaven to practice and lay the foundation for becoming a heavenly being in the future."
"There are only five people in each world." Zen Master Wuxin twirled the rosary and said kindly:
"The spiritual energy in the sky is rich and the opportunities are numerous, which is unparalleled in the world. Practicing there, whether it is the realm of cultivation or the cultivation of thoughts, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
In the cave, Ye Qingluan was chewing sugar cane and took over Zen Master Wuxin's words and continued:
"It seems that in the past few hundred years, fewer and fewer people have ascended to the heavenly realm on their own, so that the talents in heaven have withered away, and the senior in heaven feels that there are many resources in heaven, and the heavenly monks in heaven cannot enjoy them all. , so I came up with the idea of training new people and teaching them in practice."
Lin Xiaolu and a group of other teenagers were stunned for a moment. They were a little confused by the sudden news. They looked at each other in confusion for a while. Li Mingru also corrected Ye Qingluan's words and said:
"The reason is not this. It is mainly due to the intrusion from outside the territory. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer ascended mortals in all worlds. As a result, there are only a few monks in the heaven and human realm. In this way, they gradually become more vulnerable to the intrusion from outside the territory. Some of them are unable to do what they want, so Senior Zongheng went against the wishes of heaven and intervened forcefully, using the abundant spiritual power and opportunities in the world of cultivating immortals to cultivate the next generation of heavenly beings."
After speaking, Li Mingru raised his head and said:
"Before China was invaded by various countries, the Infinite Sect wanted to completely unify the mortals and immortal cultivators in China, so that the mortals would no longer believe in us, but would join us and all believe in the cultivators in the heavenly world, so that the heavenly world The spiritual energy is more intense, making the cultivation of all heaven and human realms further.
The road to immortality is so difficult. If you rely solely on yourself, there is almost no hope of success. However, it is very important to replenish the aura of heaven and earth with the faith of mortals. "
After hearing these words, Lin Xiaolu, who was dumbfounded, straightened out his thoughts and roughly understood.
No wonder the monks from various countries attacked at the same time as if they had planned it, and the people in heaven also came to help. At that time, I thought they were simply bad and wanted to invade China, and I didn't think about why they invaded.
Now he understands that it turns out that the people in heaven want to merge the entire China, and then both monks and mortals will believe in heaven and use their faith to make the spiritual energy in heaven more intense and make their cultivation further, and then seek immortality and deal with that What extraterritoriality.
However, Lin Xiaolu thinks this method is quite stupid, because it will make the immortal cultivators in the mortal world very weak. After all, everyone believes in heaven, and there will be no mortals who believe in the immortal cultivators in the mortal world. Over time, the aura of heaven and earth in the mortal world will decrease. , and then affect the cultivation level, it will be more difficult to find monks who can ascend in the future, and there will be no new people in the sky.
In comparison, the method of controlling the seniors mentioned by the boss seems to be quite good.
The Academy of Immortal Cultivators looks for young people with potential from all over the world to practice and study in heaven, so as to prepare for becoming monks in the realm of heaven and humans in the future and fighting against that outside world. This is called a virtuous cycle.
In the cave, several people gradually figured out the whole story, and then Li Mingru said with a smile:
"A few brats, we old guys have discussed it and have decided on the person who will go to the Immortal Cultivator Academy this time."
Ye Qingluan had sugar cane in his mouth and answered from the side:
"Lin Xiaolu, Lin Xiaoyu, Ah Yi, Wu Gu, Shangguan Hami Melon."
…
…
At noon, the cave at the top of Zhaixing Peak returned to its former peace. Only Lin Xiaolu and Li Mingru, master and apprentice, were left in the cave.
Lin Xiaolu sat cross-legged on the mat, while Li Mingru tilted his head and rubbed his chin in thought.
"You want to get married to Jiang Ning... um... but tomorrow I will take you to report to the academy as a teacher."
"Boss, why don't you ask that academy to wait for me for a while? You also know that for someone who respects me so much, asking them to wait will make them think highly of them." Lin Xiaolu looked expectant.
Li Mingru:......
In the cave, Li Mingru patted his forehead helplessly.
If everything else was fine, he really couldn't say that to Senior Zongheng. After all, he was his senior who had been kind to him, and he was also the only one who could suppress himself in his prime, not to mention his current kidney deficiency. One push.
