Establishing authority is important.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting, before the army set off, a few people must be killed to sacrifice the flag.
This is establishing prestige!
Although Xu Ke didn't need to kill a few people to sacrifice the flag, he still needed to establish his authority.
Seeing the commotion in front of him, Xu Ke smiled and glanced at the dark-faced man in front of him, "You...are not convinced?"
"Yes, I just don't accept it!"
The strong man with a black face stretched out his hand and pointed around, "We are all dissatisfied. You, a baby with no hair on your head, have only been practicing for a few years? What qualifications do you have to be our leader?"
"Um!"
Xu Ke nodded, then looked at the circle of people pointed by the strong black-faced man, "You...are not convinced?"
In this circle of people, someone quietly stepped away, but there were still about ten people surrounding the black-faced strong man.
It seems that this group of people has formed a small group and plans to fight together.
"You guys are not convinced, right? OK!"
Xu Ke smiled and pointed at the group of people around the black-faced burly man, "You still dare to challenge me? I want to see how much you weigh. You... come together!"
"Hey, you said this yourself, everyone can testify!"
The black-faced strong man clenched his fists, and a grim smile appeared on his face, "In a fight, injuries are inevitable. With so many people testifying, even if you are hurt, you are asking for it."
While he was talking, the black-faced strong man suddenly took action!
A ghost nail rushed out from the hand of the strong man with a black face, turned into a black light condensed with sinister energy, and flew towards Xu Ke with a sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
at the same time.
The dozen or so people surrounding the black-faced brawny man also took action at the same time, and they cooperated very well. Each piece of sinister magic weapon was blasted at Xu Ke.
This is casual cultivation!
Among the casual cultivators who have survived to this day in the fighting and fighting, which one is not cunning and cunning, and which one is not ruthless?
None of the casual cultivators who are not cunning, cunning, and ruthless will survive today.
Facing the gathering fire of a dozen casual cultivators, Xu Ke remained calm and did not even blink an eyelid.
Facing the dozen or so magic weapons coming from the fire, Xu Ke flicked his sleeves and waved his hand, as if to scare away the flies in front of him.
The high-frequency shock wave of the shattering technique swept across like a strong wind.
The violent spiritual energy shock directly dispersed the spiritual energy and shattered the magic weapon.
With a flick of his robe sleeves, the sinister magic weapon that gathered fire disappeared into thin air.
"That's it?"
Xu Ke curled his lips disdainfully, "Is this how you can't stand it?"
"Damn it! We are competing with each other, and you actually hit us hard and broke our magic weapon?"
The dark-faced strong man's expression changed, and he immediately began to speak the truth "righteously and sternly", "As a righteous person, you actually do such a heavy trick and treat your fellow disciples like this?"
"A heavy blow?"
Xu Ke raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about hitting hard? Does that mean hitting hard?"
"Qiang..."
A sword whistle shook the surrounding areas, and a cold light shot straight into the sky!
The sword light turned, splitting the five elements into five sword energies of different colors, intertwining and swirling in mid-air, forming a sword array covering a hundred feet in radius, shrouding everyone's heads.
An icy murderous intention that pierced the heart, pressed down from above everyone's heads, as if it could chop people into pieces at any time, making people's hearts tremble with fear.
"This is a serious attack!"
Xu Ke's expression was cold and his eyes were cold. He glanced at everyone in the room, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.
"The sect's laws are strict and it is not a place outside the law."
"Beheaded for betraying the sect! Beheaded for deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors! Beheaded for committing crimes below! Beheaded for disobeying orders! Beheaded for harming fellow sects!"
After every word "cut" was spoken, the murderous intent in the sword array became stronger.
"From now on, if anyone disobeys my orders, he will be killed without mercy!"
The sword energy is like frost, the murderous intention surges, the cold penetrates to the bone marrow, making people feel heartbroken.
"Wait...do you hear me clearly?"
Xu Ke stared at everyone with cold eyes.
"Follow the order!"
Everyone bowed down to accept the order and became very honest.
Therefore, the significance of the existence of force is to make unreasonable people be honest and reasonable!
He waved his hand to disperse the sword energy, the sword glowed like a rainbow, and returned to the scabbard with a clang.
Xu Ke opened the Bishuitan magic circle and waved to everyone, "Go in!"
Immediately, Xu Ke led a group of people all the way into the Bishuitan.
"Wow... such a strong spiritual energy."
"As expected of a sect! The spiritual energy is so rich, it's so refreshing to practice."
"Wow... there are so many spiritual grasses! These spiritual grasses actually grow like weeds and are everywhere."
That would have been a weed.
"Oh my god, there are so many spiritual peaches! There are spiritual peaches all over the mountains and plains!"
Of course there are peaches everywhere. It's just an ordinary low-level spiritual fruit.
"Ah? Look, there are many spiritual fish in the lake! There are many spiritual fish in groups, densely packed!"
"Are all the spiritual rice grown in those fields by the lake? Oh my God, there are so many spiritual rice!"
Along the way, the exclamations of exclamations from the casual cultivators could be heard all the way, just like country bumpkins entering the city. Everything they saw was novel.
Xu Ke sighed secretly when he heard these words.
Loose cultivators... they are really miserable.
In the world of cultivation, all sects are monopolies, monopolizing cultivation techniques, monopolizing cultivation resources, and even monopolizing spiritual energy.
Yes, monopolize aura.
The place occupied by the sect was originally a place rich in spiritual energy, and a large formation was set up to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the surrounding areas.
As a result, the spiritual energy concentration in other places will inevitably decrease.
Casual practitioners are struggling and cultivating in this environment that lacks skills, resources, and even spiritual energy.
"You have caught up with the good times."
Xu Ke said to everyone as he walked: "If the sect hadn't opened its gates and recruited disciples, how difficult would it have been for you to join the sect?"
"Now, since you have the opportunity to join the sect, you must cherish this opportunity and practice well. The sect has its own rules, so you must be careful in your words and deeds. Don't bring the same tricks into the sect."
"Yes! We must abide by the rules and don't dare to mess around."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Arriving at Bishuitan Market Town, Xu Ke pointed to Baibaozhai and said to everyone: "This is the Market Town. From now on, if you have anything to buy or sell, you can come here."
After an introduction, Xu Ke activated the formation and asked everyone to take out their badges, stamp them, and enter their identities.
From then on, when Bishuitan disciples entered and exited the formation, Xu Ke no longer had to open the door.
Immediately, Xu Ke took out the land register and divided the spiritual fields and allocated houses for everyone.
These people who can be sent to Bishuitan must be at the middle stage of Qi training or above, otherwise they will not be able to cultivate the middle-grade spiritual fields.
When Xu Ke assigned everyone the fields and houses, and arranged work tasks for them to plant yellow bud rice, red rosy flowers, jasper fruits, Qingxin tea and Tongyundao peaches, everyone looked confused.
Won't!
Among the more than a thousand people, not one of them knows how to farm.
Well, most of the casual cultivators have no fixed abodes and do not know the techniques for building spiritual fields, let alone planting techniques, so they have no chance of farming at all.
Fortunately, the farming jade slips that Zhuang Yuting gave to Xu Ke are still there, which is much more convenient.
Xu Ke doesn't have the time to teach people how to farm. It's better to use "technical means" to solve this problem.
So, Xu Ke loaded Zhuang Yuting's farming jade slips on the Guishui formation altar in the basement of Baibaozhai, and presented the information inside in the form of water shadow technique.
Done!
How troublesome is teaching? Let them watch the “instructional videos”!
"After you return to your respective residences, activate your spiritual power and activate your identity card, you will be taught the art of cultivating spiritual fields."
"Besides, if you have anything to find me, just go to Baibaozhai in Jizhenfang City. I left a message talisman on the door. You can just message me directly."
"Now, let's disperse!"
Xu Ke waved his hand and sent everyone away.
"Yes! I'll take my leave!"
Everyone bowed to Xu Ke, said goodbye and left.
Seeing everyone leaving, Xu Ke smiled, Bishuitan was finally a little popular.
Then……
That night, Xu Ke felt the "popularity" deeply!
After dinner, he just entered the study to study the art of refining weapons. Xu Ke noticed through the spiritual power fluctuations of the large formation that... hundreds of Bishuitan disciples gathered at the Bishuitan lake.
What's happening here?
Xu Ke frowned, released the flying boat, soared into the sky, and came to where the crowd gathered.
These people...are all fishing!
"Hahahaha! So many spiritual fish! Get rich! Get rich!"
People cheered, some used spell bombing, some used magic weapons to catch fish, and tried their best to catch fish.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Ke piloted the flying boat, hovered on the lake, and shouted to everyone.
"Ah? Fangzheng is here!"
Everyone stood up quickly and stood in front of Xu Ke honestly.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Ke asked again.
"Back to Fangzheng, we are... fishing."
An older man, who looked to be in his fifties, walked out of the crowd and saluted Xu Ke.
"I know you're fishing."
Xu Ke nodded, "What about after catching the fish?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked startled.
Yes, what about after catching fish? Are they still being sold? This is the property of the sect, not wild, not a resource that can be snatched casually.
“There’s nothing wrong with catching some fish to eat.”
Xu Ke glanced at everyone and said: "But everything in Bishuitan is the property of the sect. You are no longer casual cultivators. You must change your habits and don't grab anything you see."
"Take back all the fish you catch now. Forget it this time, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. Change your habit of practicing casually, cultivate your spiritual fields with peace of mind, and practice hard!"
"yes!"
Everyone bowed to accept the order, resigned and left.
Xu Ke rubbed his temples and felt a little pain in his head.
These casual cultivators, when they see something good, they want to take it home.
I hope they can adapt to the environment as soon as possible and get rid of these casual cultivating habits. Otherwise, if they violate the sect's rules and are captured by the Law Enforcement Department, a group of them may be killed as a warning to others!
Xu Ke turned the flying boat around and returned to Kunwu Academy.
Disturbed by the activities of casual cultivators fishing, Xu Ke did not continue to study the art of refining weapons in the study, but sat directly in the main hall, thinking about the management of Bishuitan.
Now that I have served as the chief of Bishuitan, I naturally have to do things well.
For the sect, as long as Bishuitan operates normally and produces supplies as usual, nothing else matters.
For Xu Ke, producing materials is not a problem.
The Five Elements Formation controls the spiritual power of Bishuitan, so it can ensure smooth weather, suitable for crop growth, and ensure normal output.
The management of these Bishuitan disciples is the problem.
If something really happened, although it would have no real impact on Xu Ke, it would make Xu Ke's face look dull and make people feel that Xu Ke was incompetent, incompetent, and unable to control others.
Therefore, we still need to control these people.
The habits of casual cultivators make them have no sense of belonging to the sect and Bishuitan. They are all centered on themselves and only care about their own personal interests.
This requires some ways and means to change the status quo.
The power has been established and the fear has been formed, but it is not enough. Awe cannot be just fear without admiration.
For monks, practice is the most important thing.
Starting from this direction, it is not difficult to win people's hearts. The senior experts have already set an example.
For example: Preach!
With Xu Ke's current knowledge, he has a thorough understanding of the Qi training stage. One method can be used to master all methods. Explaining the practice is not a problem at all.
Moreover, explaining the process of Qi training is also a process of sorting out his own knowledge, reviewing the past to learn new things, and deepening his understanding of practice, which is not without benefit to Xu Ke.
After winning people's hearts through "preaching", these thousands of people gathered together to become a force.
The ancients said: The time, place, and people are favorable.
We have the right time and place in our hands, and we cannot ignore people and people.
Thinking of this, Xu Ke already had a plan in mind.
Tomorrow I will give a sermon and talk about the practice method during the Qi training period.
Xu Ke once obtained from Gao Zhengzheng more than a dozen cultivation techniques for the Qi training period. These techniques are all commonly circulated among casual practitioners and are just suitable for explanation.
——
The next day, early in the morning.
Xu Ke placed a table on the steps at the entrance of Kunwu Courtyard, placed a futon, and sat down cross-legged.
With a flick of his finger, a burst of spiritual power was unleashed, ringing the bell.
The bronze bell that was originally hung in Baibaozhai was taken down by Xu Ke and hung on a big tree outside the gate of Kunwu Courtyard.
"when……"
The loud bells resounded in all directions.
Xu Ke used the "Thunder Sound Technique" to spread the message across the 500-mile boundary of Bishuitan.
"Disciples of Bishuitan, I am teaching and teaching on the island in the center of the lake. If you are interested, please come to the island in the center of the lake to listen to the sermon!"
As soon as these words came out, all the newcomers who had just arrived in Bishuitan were shocked, and their hearts were filled with ecstasy.
ah? Someone actually preached?
Is this the benefit of being a sect disciple? Very good! Very good!
It's pitiful to say the least.
The casual cultivators who have been practicing for many years and have been relying on their own blind calculations have never heard any "sermons"? I have so many questions that I don’t know who to ask!
At this moment, hearing that Xu Ke said that he wanted to "preach", a group of Bishuitan disciples who came from casual cultivators couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurried over.
Following the guidance of the bell, everyone rushed to the island in the middle of the lake and arrived outside Kunwu Courtyard.
"Meet Fangzheng!"
Seeing Xu Ke sitting cross-legged on the steps at the entrance of Kunwu Courtyard, everyone quickly saluted respectfully, looking at Xu Ke no longer only with fear, but also with a bit more respect.
Isn’t the sense of belonging here?
Xu Ke smiled and nodded, "You all sit down, and three moments later, I will start giving a lecture on how to practice Qi!"
"yes!"
Everyone bowed respectfully and sat on the ground at the foot of the hillside outside.
So Master Xu is about to start preaching!
