Traveling back to ancient times from the Western Han Dynasty
Chapter 18 The Difficulty of Preaching
"what!"
Taishan Ji, who was communicating with the shop owner over there, also noticed the gazes behind him. He turned around to see them, his eyes lit up, and without moving, he took a few steps and crossed several meters to come between the three people.
"Sir, can you let me see the spiritual weapon?"
Taishan Ji took out a square object wrapped in red cloth from his arms and looked at Yan Fang with great excitement, as if he was seeing a starving glutton looking at delicious food.
"???"
When Yan Fang saw Taishan Ji coming over, he thought he had recognized Xuan Qing and the others, but he didn't expect this man to come to him first? Spiritual weapon? What does it have to do with him? Is there anything wrong with this man?
"Taishanji, what are you doing?"
Qing couldn't bear it and stood in front of Yan Fang. How could you chat up a stranger like this?
"You know me?"
Hearing his own name, Taishan Ji woke up from his frenzy. He looked at Qing and then at Xuan in confusion, and then his eyes widened.
"You are Xuan, you are... Qing? You have both grown so big!"
Taishan Ji recognized Xuan first, and it took him a few seconds to recognize Qing.
"Well, Brother Taishan, why are you back? Isn't it said that it is difficult to get out after joining that cultivation sect?"
Xuan, who was very familiar with Taishan Ji, was quite confused.
"Shall we go into the restaurant first?"
Seeing that they were about to talk for several hours at the intersection, Yan Fang reminded them that as members of the ancient human race, the Xuan people were not easily hungry, but he, a mortal who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, was already starving.
"Okay!" x3
Seeing Yan Fang's weakness, several people went upstairs and started talking while eating.
It turned out that ten years ago, when Xuancai was six years old, an immortal nearby started a trial to recruit young disciples. The age limit was 6 to 12. At that time, the human race was very excited and they sent their young tribesmen to participate in the trial.
Taishan Ji was born in a small tribe, five years older than Xuan. He has both parents and an older brother. In the end, only he, Xuan and a acquired monster passed the test.
They had also roughly measured their qualifications at that time, and found that Xuan and the monster had average qualifications, while Taishan Ji had low qualifications.
Xuan and Taishan Ji met at that time, and Qing also saw Taishan Ji's appearance at that time.
However, after passing the test, they realized that if they entered the Immortal Gate, they could not leave the Gate until they had cultivated to the Mahayana realm for thousands of years. Even if they were allowed to leave the mountain, they could only stay in the human gathering place for a few days, and they were forbidden to teach the Dharma to their fellow human beings privately.
Xuan was worried about his mother at the time and refused to return to his clan, thus losing this opportunity.
Foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, out-of-body experience, spirit separation, fusion, cave void, Mahayana, tribulation transcendence, and scattered immortals, this is the division of the realm of practice in the immortal sect.
"I thought at the time that I had low aptitude and was not destined to become a great master, but since we were isolated and had difficulty communicating with the outside world, it was time for someone to go to the Immortal Sect to learn, so I went."
"I didn't want to. I have only cultivated to the Golden Core in the past ten years. If it weren't for Master Donghua's favor, I would have never been able to come out in my lifetime. I just arrived here today and wanted to have a meal to relive the past, but I didn't expect to meet you first."
"Alas, I've been away for ten years, and I forgot about the delicious food from my hometown."
As Taishanji spoke, he picked up some food and put it into his mouth, his eyes sparkling.
"Dong Wanggong?!"
Hearing the key words, Yan Fang immediately exclaimed. He didn't expect to hear the name of the famous Emperor Donghua in this small map of the novice village.
Emperor Donghua, the chief of the male immortals, is also known as Dong Wanggong and Mu Gong. He is also the previous life of Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals in later generations. His status and rumors about him are extremely widespread.
Of course, in prehistoric novels, Dong Wanggong is usually either killed by the demon emperor Di Jun or by the protagonist, and rarely has a good ending.
Yan Fang thought that he traveled through time too late and would not be able to see what this person looked like.
"Hmm? Yan Fang, you actually know Dong Wang Gong?"
Taishanji was also surprised to hear Yanfang's exclamation. Just now, several people introduced themselves. Taishanji naturally knew that Yanfang was a cultivator, but he did not expect Yanfang to know such a secret. Then he shook his head and said:
"But you are wrong. Dong Wanggong was destroyed by the Demon King a few years ago. Our Donghua ancestor was born with the innate Donghua energy and only inherited a little bit of it."
It turns out that in this ancient world, Dong Wanggong is an old god. It is said that he was born from the original yang energy of the ancient world and is a great sect. After his death, he passed down millions of inheritances. Taoist Donghua only inherited one or two of his inheritances. He became a new Taoist with some fame in recent years by gathering scattered immortals and recruiting disciples.
"I heard Xuan say that the way of cultivation is very rare. Why would your Donghua Patriarch accept so many disciples?"
Yan Fang fully understands the fact that the spread of cultivation methods is hindered.
When talking about the Honghuang flow, we have to mention "preaching". In the beginning, there was Hongjun preaching in Zixiao Palace, dividing the cushions to determine the holy position, and dividing the treasures in Fenbao Rock. Later, many protagonists recruited disciples, preached and shared merits. These are all regular scenes.
Yan Fang thought that preaching was easy in his previous life, but in fact, it is difficult to gain merit through preaching and it is also easy to bring about karmic grievances.
Without reaching Hongjun's realm, how do you know that your way of cultivation is the Great Dao and will not mislead others? Hongjun preached when he was about to become a saint or after he became a saint, so how can you, a human immortal or golden immortal, be so bold to preach? You have also set a precedent for preaching, and all preachers in the world have to thank you.
This story is so funny that it's like the Thunder King opened a school to stop Internet addiction, and all the rich people in the country rushed to follow suit to earn merits...
Not to mention those who do evil after practicing, even the three thousand great ways of the ancient world are just imaginary numbers, and everyone's path is different.
Sometimes it’s ok if you preach and help them improve, and it’s okay if you just waste their time. But if you waste their opportunities and prevent them from fulfilling their destined achievements, and this causes the loss of the Way of Heaven, you will have to bear the corresponding karma.
For most people, preaching is not worth the effort and it harms both others and themselves. An example is Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones. During the final catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, his disciples suffered heavy losses and most of them were not included in the Conferred Gods list, and it was difficult for them to make any progress in their lifetime.
And this is just the general situation. The situation of the human race is more special, and humans themselves are aware of this.
Although the human race was created by Nuwa, since the human race itself does not have a powerful existence and Nuwa had to leave the mortal world to repair the sky, the human race is now at the bottom of the prehistoric world.
The Lich and Warlock tribes were once the dominant tribes and bullied the human race a lot. What’s more, the powerful demon tribe still raises humans like pigs and eats them at any time.
The human race just happens not to have innate magical powers, nor can they simply breathe in and out vital energy to strengthen themselves. In this case, whoever teaches the human race how to practice will be an enemy of the prehistoric race above the human race, unless another saint comes forward...
Therefore, Donghua Taoist was willing to accept disciples without discrimination, even though he restricted human disciples from coming out. He could still be considered extremely bold. It is no wonder that he later became the ancestor of male immortals, although his status later fell to the level of Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave.
Yan Fang’s confusion lies in the fact that he knew that the human race would become powerful later on, but Donghua shouldn’t know that.
"Haha, and the message I want to convey this time is also related to this. All this is because of Ancestor Xuandu."
Taishan Ji laughed out loud, and the sentimental feeling he had just felt turned into hearty laughter.
"Xuandu?"
"Ancestor Xuandu, is he still alive?"
Hearing this familiar name, Qing and Xuan immediately exclaimed.
