It is quite difficult to dig out the 'spiritual mines'. Anyway, Jiang Sibai and Yuan Ling have been working hard to 'play, play and sing' recently, but these 'spiritual mines' cannot be dug out.
I don't know if these spirits are more stubborn or because the two chanting sutras are not working hard. In short, although they still come and listen, they don't have the immediate effect they had before.
Jiang Sibai was confused, and Yuan Ling didn't have any good ideas at the moment.
She said: "It seems that this matter can't be rushed. Let's think about whether there are other ways first. It's really hard work."
"By the way, the official exam is in two years. Shouldn't we take some refreshments on this land?"
Jiang Sibai said nonchalantly: "It's okay. People's livelihood here is recovering. At least there won't be a bad review in the quiz, right?"
"That's enough. Let's think about merit."
Yuan Ling hesitated and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Let's put this matter aside. Maybe we will have an idea after a while."
"If we as cultivators can achieve anything by persisting in one moment, what's the difference between it and the devil?"
When Jiang Sibai heard this, he was enlightened and realized that he was really impatient.
So he cupped his fists again and said, "Uncle Master, I have learned my lesson."
Yuan Ling gave him a fist and said, "Go back quickly and calm down. We will talk about this later."
Jiang Sibai understood and left.
When Yuan Shen returned, Jiang Sibai couldn't help but feel that he had little training experience after all, unlike Yuan Ling who had enough experience to balance his state.
He simply started to deal with Luo Yun's affairs.
The first thing I want to talk about is the 'Mountain Moving Project', which is already in its third phase.
The mountain-moving plan went very smoothly, except that the land reclaimed from the sea always seemed a little barren.
But there is no doubt that it is also a humane living space, and some members of the clan have even chosen to move there.
And because there are not many people from each clan, the cities built on the reclaimed land are all mixed with multiple surnames, and they look like cities of later generations.
Furthermore, there is news from Yingzhou Xianmen that the Sea of Storms is moving away from the coastline!
Yingzhou Fairy Island, which was swallowed up by the sea of storms a few years ago, was exposed again, but all its vitality was cut off by the storm and became a stubborn stone in the sea.
After the people of Yingzhou Xianmen were silent about this for a while, they suddenly said goodbye to Luo Yun, and then prepared to return to the sea to rebuild their own mountain gate.
Although Jiang Sibai was reluctant to give up, he could only send blessings.
After all, returning to his hometown is a great thing for Yingzhou and cannot be stopped.
As the acting head coach, Jiang Sibai could only approve some supplies to be sent for support, which was considered an ally.
Then there's the matter with the Demon Slayer Alliance.
The progress there is still slow, but it has gradually become a place where the disciples of the great sect hone their skills and train. It can be said that the east is not bright and the west is bright.
The only bad thing is that the face of Chunyang Yiqizong is not very good.
But this is all a trivial matter. After all, the logistics base is located in the one hundred thousand mountains, and it can continuously collect resources to feed the major sects that have joined the alliance. It can be said that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
The only thing that worried Jiang Sibai was the demons hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
When he let them go, it was out of compassion that he didn't want to commit more crimes.
Now he naturally has to shoulder this responsibility.
So after Jiang Sibai thought for a moment, he simply walked in the deep mountains and old forests as an incarnation of his soul, looking for ways to survive for those demons, and also taught them how to survive to avoid conflicts with the outside world.
In fact, when he thought about it, these demons were just transformed by the demon sect's flesh-transformation technique. Weren't they also humans in the first place?
They were just controlled by their minds before. Now that they are awake, are they no longer human?
Therefore, he taught with all his heart, just so that these demons could live normally in this world, just like ordinary people in this world.
He did what he thought was right, and after two or three months, the incarnation of his soul that came and went without a trace had become the existence that the demon in the mountain believed in.
Their idea was simple. Jiang Sibai gave them the hope and ability to live, and they trusted and worshiped him without reservation.
Jiang Sibai ignored this and just waited patiently for the arrival of a new child in this clan. His physique was no different from that of ordinary people. It was just because of the evil influence of his father and ancestors that he had a strong physique and a simple mind.
Overall, it seems to be no different from ordinary people.
Only then did he feel at ease, thinking that after being passed down in the deep mountains and forests for several generations, these people would be no different from ordinary people.
And when the scope of ordinary people's activities can reach these deep mountains and old forests, they should be no different from ordinary natives.
When things come to this, the matter of the demon clan is settled, and any troubles will be regarded as disputes between mortals, and Jiang Sibai can get rid of it.
When the incarnation of his soul returned to his true form, with the results of his achievements, a sense of great perfection reappeared in his heart.
"Merit?"
He muttered something under his breath.
At this time, a full year has passed since he and Yuan Ling struggled with the 'spiritual mine is difficult to mine'.
He had indeed temporarily put aside these matters and instead dealt with matters in the Mirror Lake Realm as well as his own cultivation and understanding.
Unexpectedly, the incarnation of the soul that he sent out to 'do a mission' came back successfully, which actually brought him a great feeling.
He couldn't help but be in a daze.
At this time, he was visiting his mentor, Taoist Mo Shang, and shared his experience in farming with him.
Taoist Mo Shang was silent at first when he saw this. After he came to his senses, he asked, "But are you worried about something else?"
Jiang Sibai was stunned for a moment, then said, "Master, what is merit?"
Taoist Mo Shang said in surprise: "You are now the acting head teacher, why are you still asking questions from when you were a child?"
Then he continued to say without getting tired of it: "Merit is merit, merit is merit, and virtue is virtue."
" Merit is the impact and result of what you do, and virtue is what you do upholding your own virtue."
"Therefore, the word 'merit' should actually be interpreted as 'virtue'."
"If you want to achieve results, you must first be virtuous yourself."
"If you do it without results, then you should examine your own morality."
Jiang Sibai was shocked when he heard this.
These were just commonplaces he heard from his master when he listened to them in his early years. Now that he was mentioned by his master again, he felt like he had a sudden enlightenment.
He quickly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, "Master, I have learned my lesson."
Taoist Mo Shang was slightly surprised, then he smiled kindly and said, "It's good to be taught. It's good that you can still be taught."
"My teacher knows that you are smart and full of ideas, so I have been unable to teach you anything for a long time."
"But these hundreds of years of life experience are still there. If you have any doubts, you may as well ask me as a teacher, who can be regarded as multiple advisers."
Jiang Sibai hurriedly complimented: "Master, how can you say that you are 'multiple advisers'? You are truly enlightened!"
He said it sincerely, and he really meant it.
In recent years, he had actually listened to Master's sermons less often. After all, he thought the contents of Master's lectures were too broad.
It's stable, but it's nothing new.
This is also the reason why the way he cultivates gradually goes further away from that of Taoist Mo Shang.
Now it seems that although his own way is correct, he cannot just ignore the master's wisdom.
