Chapter 15: The Edict(1/2)
For the same spell, in the high-level world there are methods of playing in the high-level world, and in the low-level world there are also methods of the low-level world.
In the Xuan-level world, you can easily move mountains and reclaim seas by using spells, Qi practitioners can easily live for a thousand or eight hundred years, and a long-lived old turtle can even live for seven or eight thousand years.
In the Ming Dynasty in front of us, the upper limit of the power of magic is to call the wind and rain, hold the thunder in the hand, control the air and fly into the sky, and return to youth again.
It is basically impossible to achieve the level or level of magic such as immortality, longevity, and moving Mount Tai to fill the North Sea.
Meteorite falling from the sky like Brother Axiu is the limit that the world can allow. Beyond this limit, not to mention whether the world supports it, the amount of vitality of heaven and earth is not enough to support Taoism on a larger scale and at a higher level.
From this point of view, even if Taofa's lead is limited compared to Martial Arts, there is even a risk of being counterattacked!
Of course Lin Musen saw this clearly, and he had already prepared for this. He believed that once he revealed his preparations, Emperor Zhengde would be happy to support the development of Xuanmen.
"Your Majesty, limited by the amount of heaven and earth's vitality, the power of Taoism is also greatly affected. About 90% of Taoism will be directly affected by the amount of heaven and earth's vitality."
"Besides, it is not easy to get started with Taoism. The key lies in mana, but mana is not that easy to develop. There is only one way to solve these two problems!" At this point, Lin Musen raised his index finger.
"Oh, what do you have to teach me, sir?" Zhengde also asked cooperatively. As for Wang Yangming, well, he was holding a brush and starting to record the conversation between the two, acting as a historian.
"Edict!"
"The vitality of heaven and earth is a kind of spiritual energy, and it is the most common kind of spiritual energy. There is no problem in using it to cast spells. The number of human qi can also be regarded as a kind of spiritual energy. The vitality of heaven and earth is limited, but the number of human qi is infinite!"
Things like the vitality of heaven and earth come from heaven and earth and from the world. Taoist priests use it more, and it will indeed affect the normal operation of the world to a certain extent.
As for things like Humanity Qi Number, as long as the people are still alive, they will continue to be produced. However, in the yellow-level world, few people can use Humanity Qi Number.
"The so-called human energy is the national destiny. After Taoist priests receive the imperial edict, they can use the Ming Dynasty's national destiny to perform Taoism. The amount of heaven and earth energy that Taoist priests can mobilize individually is far less than the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty."
Therefore, as long as the Taoist priests who are granted the imperial title can have more than ten times the mana of other Taoist priests, the quality of their mana will also be improved.
If you were a Taoist priest, would you be willing to obtain an imperial edict?
Even if some people disagree at first, with the development of the times, pursuing the imperial edict will definitely become the mainstream thought among Taoist priests!
"The disadvantage of this move is that it will consume the Ming Dynasty's national destiny, but national destiny is closely related to people's hearts and people's living standards. As long as it is not excessive and as long as it does not consume too much at once, it can be restored slowly."
"What's more important is that any Taoist priest who is conferred by the imperial court is connected with the imperial court and the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. They are inherently suppressed by the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how powerful a Taoist priest is, as long as he accepts the imperial decree,
From now on, Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict to get whatever you ask for!"
So this becomes a multiple choice question!
If you accept the imperial edict, you can obtain at least ten times or even a hundred times the mana. After your death, you can expect to be named a mountain god by the imperial court, gain land, and live for hundreds of years. These are all advantages.
However, the disadvantage is that from now on, it is completely bound to the Ming Dynasty. As the Ming Dynasty prospered, the more humane energy the Taoist priests obtained, the higher the quality of their mana, and the more their mana they had.
The Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and none of these consecrated Taoist priests could escape! They could be seriously injured and unable to make progress from now on, or they could die on the spot and lose their souls.
In addition, when you are alive, you must abide by the jurisdiction of the imperial court, mainly following the imperial edict of the emperor. If you dare to resist the edict, then the emperor can use his authority as the emperor to knock him down from the mortal world with an imperial edict!
No matter how high your cultivation level is, no matter how strong your talent is, as long as you accept the imperial edict, from now on you will be controlled by the fate of the Ming Dynasty and the contemporary emperor.
From now on, Emperor Lao Tzu's imperial edicts, especially those that contain the emperor's strong will, will become a great weapon in the world of monks!
Of course, if you feel that this is a disadvantage, you can also rely on your talent to practice slowly, slowly accumulate mana, slowly make breakthroughs, and slowly make progress.
But things like the vitality of heaven and earth are the essence of heaven and earth. If you absorb too much, you will always be punished!
A Taoist priest of the same level absorbs at least ten times the energy of heaven and earth as a warrior, so it is reasonable for him to be rejected by heaven and earth.
This means that Taoist priests who practice self-cultivation need to work hard while facing the risk of being rejected by the world. The higher their cultivation level, the more energy they absorb from heaven and earth, and the more they will be hated by the world.
And without the help of human Tao Qi, the power of the same Taoist method would be far less than that of Taoist priests who were granted the title by the imperial court.
Although it seems like there are two ways, in fact Taoist priests have no choice at all. Ninety-nine percent of them will choose the first way, and those who choose the second way will definitely be ostracized!
I have been practicing Taoism for so many years and have to listen to the imperial court. But you, a young genius, are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and can progress in cultivation based on your own talent. Why?
Zhengde is a smart man, so he quickly figured out the future situation, and at the same time he also keenly discovered the advantages of the Xuanmen system!
Compared with those lawless warriors who disobey the court's discipline, these Taoist priests are so cute! As long as they are granted the imperial title, they are obedient people, the number one obedient people in the world!
Such a temptation, for him, the emperor, simply cannot be refused! The remaining key point is to divide the Taoist priests into three, six or nine levels according to their strength and discuss the number of Ming Dynasty fortunes they can mobilize.
…
Changkong is an elderly Taoist priest. He is sixty-two years old this year. He is not a warrior, and he is not involved in the world. There is a small Taoist temple deep in Zhongnan Mountain.
The Taoist temple is not big, with only three rooms in total except the lobby. Near the Taoist temple, he and his ancestors have opened several acres of medicine gardens.
On weekdays, Changkong Taoist priests chant sutras and meditate in the Taoist temple in the morning, and in the afternoon go down the mountain to treat illnesses and mourning of nearby residents.
Not only is he a doctor, he is also responsible for handling the funerals of people from all over the country. The fees are not high, so he is a generalist.
He has lived this kind of life for more than fifty years, but when he was a child, he went down the mountain with his master, and now he takes his young apprentice down the mountain with him.
"Disciple, let me tell you that the inheritance of our Changchun Temple is this Changchun Gong. Although it is not as good as those brave and fierce exercises, it can be said to be first-class in health preservation. You see, Master, I am sixty this year.
He is many years old, but he looks only in his forties, and his hair is only half white. This is the effect of this technique..."
Recalling what his master said to him back then, Taoist Changkong smiled slightly. Today he also said these words to his disciples. It's great that there are successors to Changchun Temple who will not cut off the inheritance in his own hands!
But Taoist Changkong, who was smiling and laughing, could not stop laughing, because when he turned around, he suddenly saw a martial artist with a sword on his waist.
"Who are you?"
"Jinyiwei Xiaoqi..."
"Are you Taoist Changkong, the leader of Changchun Temple?"
"Old Taoist, yes, I wonder what your lord is doing here?"
Xiaoqi in black did not answer, but started to ask: "You have stayed in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain for almost your whole life, and you have a very good attitude. It is said that someone once invited you to come out of the mountain with a lot of money, but you refused. You are truly unfavorable.
Profits, at least look down on these petty profits..."
"Is the information correct?"
At first, Taoist Changkong was a little nervous because he was suddenly approached by Jin Yiwei. However, he soon discovered that he had nothing that Jin Yiwei could take notice of, so he naturally became less nervous.
"That's right!"
"Well, come with me and enter the capital! One month ago, His Majesty issued an edict to recruit righteous people from all over the world. Master Lu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, also issued an order requiring each flag to be at least
You need to find a truly righteous person."
"There are true Taoist priests like you, sir, who can endure loneliness, are not obsessed with fame and wealth, can practice their own actions, and can respect ordinary people. Shangguan also said that the more such true Taoist priests the better. If Captain Jinyi finds one, he can
Raise it to a small flag. If you find three small flags, you can raise it to a general flag. If you find ten general flags, you can raise it to a hundred households."
"And it's also mentioned above that we only need true Taoist priests this time. Taoist Changkong, you are already the fifth true Taoist priest I have found. You'd better pack up quickly and go to the capital. By then, whether it is glory, wealth, or prosperity,
Changchun View, or other ideas, are all possible!"
Under the supervision of the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, Changkong Taoist priest closed the gate of Changchun Temple, took his disciples to Fucheng, and then, together with other Taoist priests, rode the carriage prepared by the court to the capital.
After arriving in the capital, Taoist Changkong, who had been wondering and anxious, met many colleagues, most of whom were true Taoist priests like him.
As for those who cheat the world and steal the world, I cannot say that there are none who are extremely utilitarian, eager to fight and have a gloomy mind, but they are really very few. Changkong lives a very comfortable life by interacting with other Taoist priests every day.
We have good food and good accommodation here, but the doubts in our hearts are getting more and more serious. What are we going to do? The number of true Taoist priests who have come here in recent times has been no less than hundreds, and even the number is slowly increasing. Could it be that
The emperor wants to refine the elixir of immortality?
This is not possible!
Disaster for the country and the people!
I won’t do such bad things!
"Everyone, next you will get an opportunity, an opportunity to truly practice Taoism."
"Thunder comes!"
Boom!
There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and a purple thunderbolt appeared on Lin Musen's hand. With a flick of his hand, a big tree was chopped into charcoal.
"The wind is coming!"
After casting several spells, Lin Musen left.
Today was just for these Taoist priests to gain a lot of experience, and tomorrow was the time to officially start practicing. And after he left, the Taoist priests no longer cared about their manners or their appearance, and went directly to the quilt as fast as possible.
Underneath the big tree that was reduced to charcoal.
"This is not angry!"
"Fire Palm has no such power!"
"Is there really a magic?"
"Can I live forever?"
In an instant, when a certain Taoist priest expressed his deepest thoughts, the other Taoist priests also held their breaths, and some Taoist priests' eyes turned red!
"The key to Taoism is mana. Mana is similar to the inner family's true qi, but they are more different. The inner family's true qi is guided by Shen Shen and carries the qi and blood, and finally a ray of true qi is developed.
All subsequent martial arts skills were performed through true energy."
"The law of Tao is to use mana to influence the vitality between heaven and earth, and then to perform Taoism. Taoism is mysterious, it can be the escape of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, or it can control the air and fly to the sky. Although it is difficult to live forever, but
If you practice to the extreme, you can live for thousands or eight hundred years after receiving the emperor's decree!"
