Chapter 107 How Should People Spend Their Life
Chapter 107 How Should People Spend Their Life
After demolishing the temples and washing away all the filth on Longquan Mountain, Yunxi was transformed again. Green peaks stand tall, the mountains are shrouded in mist, there are several thousand-foot waterfalls cascading down and converging into springs, and there are blooming flowers.
The temple was built in a misty way, and the pure land was beautiful. When Mu Qing arrived and saw the Longquan Mountains, he was also surprised. The original barren mountain turned into a Feng Shui treasure land in an instant.
Yunxi has the foundation inheritance of Piaomiao Sect in his hands, so it is not difficult for him to build a new mountain gate.
There is also a stone tablet standing at the foot of the mountain gate, with four big characters "Cang Qiong Dao Zong" inscribed on it!
"Okay, what should we do next, my Sect Master Mu?" Yunxi said with a smile.
"Of course it's to recruit students and laborers." Mu Qing said, "Tomorrow there will definitely be a huge crowd of people. You and I should be prepared to welcome the leader and continue to preach."
"But with just this small mountain gate, how can we accommodate all the mortals in the city?"
"Hey, we are only responsible for preaching the doctrine. Tomorrow you just need to listen to my instructions and see how I command the country and command the people!"
"I think you are a big liar, the biggest liar in the world."
Mu Qing scratched his head and told her not to talk nonsense. From now on, they are... ahem... that... successors...
Yunxi chuckled, feeling a sense of awe. Although she didn't understand the few words he blurted out, she didn't ask any more questions.
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment and asked her, "Master, since you know I'm not doing this recklessly, why don't you try to stop me?"
Yunxi was stunned and asked, "Why do you say I would stop you?"
"Because...actually, I think this is pretty crazy..." Mu Qing wiped his sweat. He couldn't say that he had traveled through time and space and brought the most advanced and scientific ideas from his hometown here.
"Yes, it is crazy. Since ancient times, who has accomplished great things has not done crazy things." Yunxi nodded, and seeing his look, she tapped his head: "Hey, I'm your master, and you are the only successor to Piaomiao Sect. If I don't support you, who can I support?"
Although he said this, Mu Qing still felt a little touched in his heart.
Don't worry, I will build a new family for us and the whole world.
……
Just as Mu Qing expected, after the cult was wiped out, the people of the mortal world yearned for the immortals from heaven, and wanted to see their faces, so they flocked to Longquan Mountain. Some of them actually kowtowed with every step, starting from the capital and walking to Longquan Mountain for five days and nights, even kowtowed a bloody road. Until they kowtowed outside the mountain gate of Cangqiong Dao Sect.
Longquan Mountain was covered in smoke, and anyone who went in could not find a way out. When they arrived, the smoke dissipated, revealing a long staircase.
These people continued to climb the stairs one step at a time, even kneeling and kowtowing after each step.
Such sincerity moved everyone.
You know, some of them were just foolish in their thoughts, while others were indeed deeply sinful. Mu Qing didn't want to forgive them, because if they did a good thing today and were considered to have turned over a new leaf and become good people, then could their previous crimes be forgotten?
Mu Qing wants them to remember that God is watching what we do!
If he wasn't short of manpower, he would need a few people who understand cultivation to spread the teachings.
Some people followed them, not in a hurry, wanting to see their remorse with their own eyes.
Some of them have lost all conscience, persecuted many women with conscience, and ruined many families...
If you forgive them easily, they don't know etiquette and rules.
They were still bowing their heads as they walked, and some even had their knees so raw that their flesh and blood could be seen clearly.
Finally, Mu Qing sat in front of the mountain gate and saw them climbing up one by one. Note, they really climbed up!
Mu Qing said slowly: "Do you guys know your guilt?"
"We...know our guilt..."
"Today I will accept you on behalf of the leader. In the future, you must do more good deeds and serve the people more. Come in."
"Thank you!" everyone said in unison.
Mu Qing looked at the mortals at the foot of the mountain and said, "I once said that all living beings in the world can come to worship the mountain, but if you want to join the religion, you need to show your sincerity. In the near future, the leader of my religion will come to the capital to preach, teach the world to be good, and promote the beautiful civilization of cultivating immortals."
"Really? Can we all join the Immortal Sect?"
"Hey, we can see the immortal."
Mu Qing closed the mountain gate. At this time, the master was already guiding them and explaining Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought to them.
Finally, they dressed up and selected a few people with high understanding, including Shang Fang, Tao Yu, Lin Hai, etc., who will attend the missionary conference with Mu Qing.
Because the publicity was so widespread, people from the capital came to the Imperial City to see the immortal cultivators, hoping to find a chance to become an immortal.
There were so many people that the inn was full, and even the streets and alleys were crowded with people. Standing on the city wall and looking down, there were so many heads that it was really a sea of people.
In front of the palace gate, there stood a tall altar, more than ten feet high, built entirely of white jade, high enough to overlook everything in the imperial capital.
Under the sea of people, there was an endless noise, like a tsunami, which could drown the whole world. Fortunately, there was an army to maintain order, otherwise it would be a mess.
The emperor of the Dalu Dynasty wore a golden dragon robe and sat on a dragon chariot pulled by six horses. The body of the chariot was inlaid with gold, silver, jade, gems and pearls; the body of the chariot was also carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the royal nobility and luxury.
As soon as the Emperor came out, the whole city cheered and you could hear a pin drop. Suddenly, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, and colorful lights covered the sky, and the people were amazed.
Lin Hai, Shang Fang, Tao Yu and others came riding on clouds and mist, all wearing white robes with beautiful cloud patterns. They looked like immortals, and the people were shocked.
Lin Hai covered his eyes with a mask, and said through his mouth using the sound transmission technique: "Heaven has laws, and everything is in order! Cults are poisoning lives and misleading people with evil words. I, the Cang Qiong Dao, command the Heaven to punish the wicked and eradicate the evil. Today, my sect is promoting the great way and looking for those who are destined to become immortals. If you truly believe in my great sect, you can be accepted as my disciple!" For a moment, everyone was in an uproar. Being able to cultivate immortality and become an immortal was something they dared not even think about.
"Teach me the Holy Maiden!" Lin Hai looked up to the sky.
At this time, auspicious clouds covered the sky, and auspicious clouds rose up to the sky. A woman in green came down from the sky. Her face was like a fairy in a painting, graceful and light, with a long skirt, like a fairy from the moon palace. There was no such beautiful woman in the world before. The heaven and the earth were dimmed by her and admired her.
Yunxi was still a little nervous. Mu Qing said that the Sky Dao needed an "ambassador" for her. In fact, it was just a formality. Yunxi walked to the center of the altar, sat cross-legged, opened her mouth, and said in a voice like heaven: "There is a heavenly way in the world. The Sky Dao points to the sky to establish it and command the sky. Those who follow the will of heaven will be punished by heaven. Today, our sect will hold a meeting to spread the righteous way."
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, thunder sounded from the sky, as loud as a huge bell, instantly stunning everyone. Yunxi knelt down in a pretentious manner and said, "Saintess pays respect to the Sect Master!"
Lin Hai and the other three also knelt down in unison and said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Spreading my teachings is no small matter, let alone among millions of people." Mu Qing used the Thunder Sound Technique to spread his voice, which was also acting.
On the altar, Mu Qing appeared in a white robe with gold patterns. He covered his face with his robe and hat. His body also looked bigger, so no one could tell that there was a young man under the robe.
Suddenly, millions of people knelt down in unison. It was a magnificent sight. They knew that this was the leader of the Immortal Sect! If they angered the gods, disaster would befall them.
Mu Qing said in a loud and clear voice: "Today, there are millions of people who are willing to listen to my teachings. I will break the rules and preach in person!"
Yunxi was surprised and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the leader preaching in person?"
"What's wrong with that? The great sages of ancient times preached without any sectarianism, and did not discriminate against each other based on social status. All living things can listen to the Tao." Mu Qing said.
Yunxi said gratefully: "The Palace Master has a broad mind and is open to all."
The people all said: "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Immortal!"
It is rumored that in ancient times, before the Taoist tradition was established, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other and all things flourished. No matter whether it was Buddhism, Taoism, immortals, gods, or insects, birds, fish, or beasts, everyone was teaching and learning. It can be said that these were the most brilliant and glorious times in the world of immortal cultivation.
Mu Qing sat cross-legged on the altar, Yunxi stepped back, and then Mu Qing spoke: "Everyone, please listen, I will talk about the affairs of the Three Realms."
"Things about the Three Realms?" Not only the people in the audience were curious, but Yunxi and the others also wanted to know what he would say. He actually talked about things about the Three Realms, and they also wanted to listen.
"Above the Three Realms are the thirty-three realms of immortality, below the Three Realms are the seventy-two realms of the earth, and within the Three Realms are the three thousand great worlds and billions of small worlds."
"The fairyland is huge and boundless, located in the sky. The so-called sky is infinite. The vast land of the dynasty is just a drop in the ocean. There are countless fairies in it, without the conflicts of interests in the mortal world. It is peaceful and harmonious, as quiet as still water."
"The seventy-two lands of the lower world are governed by the Netherworld. The living beings of the mortal world are reincarnated in the cycle of life and death. Those who have committed serious sins will be trapped in the Avici Hell and will never be reborn. However, those who have done good deeds in their ten reincarnations will have immeasurable merits and achieve a true immortal body, and will become a Daluo Golden Immortal."
"In the Three Realms, there are countless lives, fighting for interests, wealth and prosperity, birth, aging, sickness and death. Just like this, in the world of mortals, there are many changes." In just a few words, Mu Qing sketched out a beautiful world of immortals and struggles in the mortal world. It was like a revelation to the people.
What Mu Qing said was half true and half false. Even Yunxi and the others were half-believing and half-doubting. Was it really just exaggeration? Mu Qing changed the subject and told about the immortals in the fairyland. There were magnificent palaces, vast fairyland, and even three thousand beautiful fairies holding jade flowers and jade dew to serve... Even the emperors of the mortal world could not compare to them. Just by describing it, even Emperor Dalu was very curious, not to mention that the audience in the audience were scratching their heads and falling into fantasy. It was fascinating and exciting.
Compared to those gods and Buddhas who talk about mountains of gold and silver that will be spent endlessly in the afterlife...that is simply burning the piano and cooking the goose, there is a world of difference.
Soon, Mu Qing's speech came to a temporary end. The people in the audience could not wait any longer. The person closest to them asked, "Excuse me, Immortal, how can I ascend to the immortal world?"
"Can everyone become an immortal?"
"God, do I have the chance to become an immortal?"
There was a buzz of people talking in the audience, and the whole city was filled with noise and excitement. Mu Qing just pretended to be fiddling with flowers, without moving, and did not stop them or answer.
Instead, it became even more mysterious. It was not until the emperor ordered the soldiers to stop in unison that the people quieted down. The emperor bowed to Mu Qing and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask the immortal, can mortals like us... really become immortals?"
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Yes!"
Wow!!! The emperor was so excited that he asked tremblingly: "So, can I also become an immortal? Live forever?"
Mu Qing shook his head: "No."
The emperor was stunned, and even those in the audience who heard it began to talk about it.
"No, I can't?" Isn't it said that everyone can become an immortal? Why can't His Majesty the Emperor do this?
So Mu Qing said, "Just now we were talking about the Three Realms. Do you know how many people in these three thousand worlds want to become immortals? How many have become immortals?"
This... Everyone in the audience looked at each other in confusion. How could this be answered?
Mu Qing smiled and said, "I would like to ask you, how do you write the word '天'?"
Someone said, "A big one!"
Someone else said, "One person!"
Mu Qing said: "One big, boundless is the sky; one individual, one individual gathers together and condenses into sand to form the sky. Where does the sky come from? Where is it?"
Someone else said, "There is the blue sky three feet above your head."
Some people said, "The sky is so high and infinite, where is the sky?"
The question was simple, but it stumped everyone.
Mu Qing asked again: "I will ask you again, how do you write the word 'xian'?"
“A mountain of people.”
"Yes, a mountain of people!" Mu Qing asked, "Are the people on the top of the mountain? Or are they on the side of the mountain?"
"It's the top of the mountain. The immortal is at the top."
"No, no, it's the mountainside. People on the mountainside form immortals."
While everyone was discussing this, a child asked, "God, what do you mean by that?"
Mu Qing suddenly laughed out loud, and everyone was stunned. Then they were afraid. Would he offend the immortal? Unexpectedly, Mu Qing said, "Good question. Only the ignorant are fearless. I tell you: Heaven is within reach; immortality is just a thought away. It all depends on whether you are willing to become an immortal or not, and whether you have the original intention to persist in becoming an immortal!"
Mu Qing's speech was confusing and no one could understand it, but they all had some understanding. However, Yunxi and others were greatly inspired after listening. When Mu Qing was speaking, he used a trace of the Tao Heart, which moved the heart and touched the Tao Heart.
Mu Qing said slowly: "One thought can make you an immortal, and one thought can also make you a demon. There are only a few people in the world who want to become immortals but actually become immortals, but they are all people with great perseverance who stick to their original intentions. Even if you are a mortal, if you have a persistent heart, you can become an immortal as long as people want you to; gathering sand to form a tower, and Yugong moving mountains."
Wow! ! !
Even the dull-witted people understood the meaning of it and were immediately overjoyed.
Yunxi felt crazy. What kind of cultivation was this? What kind of cultivation was this? Cultivators fought against the heavens, the earth, and people. They were in danger of three disasters and nine calamities. But it sounded reasonable, which made them feel conflicted.
Mu Qing continued, "Do you think that as long as you are single-minded, you can become an immortal? As long as everyone is united, everyone can become an immortal? It is difficult for those who cultivate immortality. Throughout history, there are no less than hundreds of millions of people who have buried their bones on the immortal road! Are you still willing to cultivate immortality?"
Suddenly, there was solemnity and complete silence.
"I just asked how to write the word 'immortal'? One person, one mountain. One can become an immortal only by walking on a mountain road paved with human bones. It is extremely difficult and dangerous for a mortal to become an immortal."
"Alas——" Everyone was disappointed and disheartened.
Mu Qing was silent for a while, and when the heavy emotion gradually spread, he asked, "Have you given up?"
An old man said: "The immortals don't know that we all want to become immortals, but we are mediocre and can only be stepping stones for others to become immortals."
Mu Qing continued, "I said that there are three realms in the world. You know the lower realm. The six paths of reincarnation are heaven, human, Asura, evil spirit, animal, and hell. The heavenly path is the immortal. Those with immeasurable merits can become Daluo Jinxian! They live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon."
"Merits and virtues are earned through hard work and struggle throughout one's life. Even if this life ends, the merits and virtues will be with you, accumulated from generation to generation, or passed on to your descendants, or passed on to the world. You have worked hard, you have struggled, and the path you have walked is paved by yourself! The most precious thing for a person is life, and life is only once. A person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for being mediocre and wasting his time, nor will he feel guilty for his humble origins and vulgar life."
After the words were spoken, the audience fell into silence. Mu Qing saw countless pairs of excited eyes.
For his speech, he quoted famous quotes from great men. Not only these ordinary people, but even Yunxi and the others were moved to tears after hearing them.
Mu Qing asked appropriately: "Let me ask you again, will you repair it?"
Everyone cheered and someone asked, "May I ask the immortal, how do I cultivate immortality?"
Mu Qing kept silent and refused to say anything.
Shang Fang coughed and said, "It's not that my sect leader is unwilling to enlighten me, but this method of cultivating immortals is a secret of my sect and I am afraid that it will be leaked..."
When they heard the words "secret of the Tao", everyone knelt down and said, "Please take us in, Immortal. We are willing to join the great sect and be loyal to it!"
Shang Fang was at a loss: "Not everyone can enter the Sky Palace. This..."
At this time, Mu Qing said: "Forget it, I came to preach, and it is also their opportunity. It is not good to refuse such an invitation. You can pay a little attention to them. When they perform outstandingly in the future, you can explain the method of cultivating immortals to them."
"Yes, sir!" Shang Fang said respectfully.
