Chapter 1509 Will You Be a Civil Servant?
The Qingyun Sword fell in the square of the main hall, and Jiang Hao saw Old Taoist Xuanji and Master Yuheng standing at the entrance of the main hall. Old Taoist Xuanji had white hair and white beard, and was wearing white clothes, holding a fly whisk with fairy wind in his hand. Master Yuheng had a white beard and was dressed in green clothes, with a thin figure Tall and straight, looking like a wise man.
"I've met the head brother, I've met the senior brother Yu Heng!" Jiang Hao immediately stepped forward to salute.
Yesterday, when his spiritual power was exhausted and he was resting, Jiang Hao used a talisman to inform Xuanji that he would be back today and that he had important matters to discuss.
"Junior brother sent word that there was something important to discuss, so I called Yu Heng to come with me. What's going on, junior brother?" Old Taoist Xuanji asked.
They knew Jiang Hao's identity. He said that if something big happened, it would definitely not be trivial. When Jiang Hao first started, the founder of the mountain had given an oral instruction that Jiang Hao would lead the rise of Laoshan, so they must cooperate well, so Xuanji, the old Taoist, received the summons. Just inform Master Yuheng to wait here together.
"Senior brother, I want to unify the power of Taoism!"
Jiang Hao's words were shocking.
After hearing Jiang Hao's words, Master Xuanji and Master Yu Heng were shocked in their hearts. Unifying the Taoist sects is no joke. Since ancient times, there have been many masters and powerful men who want to unify the Taoist sects and inherit their own ideas but cannot do so.
Although they are all Taoist schools, there are many differences in ideas and concepts. This is true for Taoist schools, and it is also true for Buddhism. This is also true for all religions in the world. It is not that easy to unify.
If it were anyone else, Old Taoist Xuanji would definitely sneer at him. Even the Shushan Sect, known as the leader of the seventy-two immortal sects, would not be able to do this.
But this topic was brought up by Jiang Hao. Who is Jiang Hao, the City God of the World, and the only god in this world now? If he has such an idea, Old Taoist Xuanji and Master Yuheng will naturally take it seriously.
"Let's discuss it in detail in the palace!" Old Taoist Xuanji said with a solemn expression.
The three of them walked into the main hall, and the main hall door closed with a bang. The golden light flashed on the door, and the defensive formation was activated to shield any possible outside exploration.
The gate was closed for a day and a night. On the second day, the gate suddenly opened. Not long after, the cloud plate of Laoshan rang. All disciples of the foundation building period of the inner gate gathered together. They saw flying swords flying over the mountains from time to time. After stopping in the square , one by one immediately walked into the hall.
Half a day later, these foundation-building disciples walked out of the main hall and out of the gate of Mount Laoshan, and then either flew away with their swords, or used the divine walking technique, their legs turned into fire wheels, and they quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke.
These disciples received orders from Old Taoist Xuanji to send invitations to other immortal sects and invite them to Laoshan for discussion. Some sects were too far away, so Old Taoist Xuanji personally took action and passed letters with Taoist talismans to send messages to those sects.
Just because of one word, the whole Laoshan Mountain moved.
This world is known as the Seventy-Two Immortal Sects, including Shushan, Kunlun, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, Laoshan, etc. These immortal sects have their own real inheritance. The sect with the Golden Pill monks is the real big sect, and now it is only ten. Several sects and many sects only have foundation-building monks in charge.
As for the more than 300 immortal sects recorded in "Wenxian Lu", most of the latter ones are branch lineages of the seventy-two sects. For example, Xuanyuan Guan is also included in Wenxian Lu, ranking more than 300, and the founder is the founder of the sect. He was just a foundation-building disciple who came out of Laoshan.
Shushan,
After reading the invitation, Master Qingfeng looked at the Laoshan disciples who were standing beside him. It was Qi Xiuyuan who came to Shushan this time to deliver the letter.
"Laoshan invites immortals from all over the world to discuss important matters. Did Master Xuanji say anything important to discuss?" Master Qingfeng asked softly.
Master Qingfeng's voice was not loud, but it vibrated back and forth in the hall.
As the number one immortal sect in the world, Master Qingfeng is very powerful and his cultivation has reached the high level of Golden Core. He can be said to be the number one person in the world. It is said that he is the most likely person to break through and ascend in Shushan in the past 500 years. With him sitting in Shushan, it is natural that Can suppress all evildoers.
Master Qingfeng looked at the invitation again,
Discuss important matters!
Shushan's strength is known to the world, and he is recognized as the head of the seventy-two immortal sects. He has not convened all factions to discuss important matters, but Laoshan jumped out. This makes Master Qingfeng feel a little unhappy. What qualifications do you, Laoshan, have, and what do you want to discuss.
Qi Xiuyuan quickly bowed and said, "Back to Master Qingfeng, the master explained when he came. He only said that it was my idea to send Uncle Jiang Hao to summon all the sentients to Laoshan to discuss matters. There was no other explanation."
Xuanji, an old Taoist, has long thought that there will be people who disdain Laoshan for gathering all the immortal sects. Speaking of Laoshan, it is true that Laoshan does not have the strength and reputation. There will definitely be people who question Jiang Hao's identity. Not everyone knows it, but most of the sect leaders still Knowing something, the old Taoist naturally put Jiang Hao in front.
Master Qingfeng was slightly startled. He naturally knew Jiang Hao's identity. Master Qixia Peak Lingyun came back and told him the truth. The City God in the world may be the only god that exists in the world now. Although the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the Nether God Realm are not affiliated, he can As a city god, he has to give face.
Master Qingfeng nodded, "I understand. If you go back and tell Master Xuanji, I will send Junior Brother Ling Yun to attend the meeting."
Qi Xiuyuan saluted again and exited the Shushan Golden Summit Hall.
When he got halfway down the mountain, Qi Xiuyuan breathed out a sigh of relief. The Qingfeng master was so powerful that he stood in front of him, not even daring to breathe, and sweating profusely on his back.
Other Laoshan disciples also sent invitations to sects such as Longhushan, Maoshan, Chunyang, Qingwei, Penglai, and Xianxia.
Because the convening time was one month later, Jiang Hao went to the Sutra Pavilion for retreat. In addition to practicing every day, he read books and drew talismans.
In this way, a month passed quickly, and various sects came one after another. On this day, Ma Sichun came to the Sutra Pavilion to inform Jiang Hao that the time was up. Master Xuanji called Jiang Hao over. On the way, Jiang Hao asked Ma Sichun, "How many sects are not here? "
"Almost everyone is here. There are two sects whose head elders didn't come because they were far away, but they also sent their disciples who were out for training." Ma Sichun said.
Jiang Hao walked into the main hall. Although the Laoshan main hall was very spacious, it still seemed a bit crowded with more than a hundred people gathered. When someone came over, everyone immediately turned their attention to the door. Jiang Hao immediately saw a familiar person among the people who turned around. face.
Naturally, the man saw Jiang Hao and shouted with surprise: "Brother Jiang, I'm here." He waved to Jiang Hao regardless of his appearance.
Jiang Hao smiled.
He didn't expect to see Zhiqiu Yiye here. This guy lived in the other courtyard for a while and often went out to slay demons. At first, he came back every ten days and a half, but then he ran further and further away, once or twice. He only came back once a month, but in the end it was too far away. This guy sent Jiang Hao a paper crane message, telling Jiang Hao that running around was too troublesome and would not come back if nothing happened. He planned to go somewhere else.
"Do you represent the Kunlun faction?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
"Yes, the master sent me a message saying that the distance was too far and he asked me to represent Kunlun Mountain in this conference." Zhiqiu Yiye said with a smile.
There is still business now, and the two of them have no time to chat. Jiang Hao walks forward and greets Master Xuanji and several other Masters of Jindan. Among them are Master Shushan Lingyun and Master Xuanzhen of Chunyang Sect whom he is familiar with.
Then he met with people from other sects, and he did everything very well.
Old Taoist Xuanji smiled and waved his whisk, and said loudly: "This invitation to all of you is actually the intention of Junior Brother Jiang Hao. In addition to being a disciple of Laoshan, Junior Brother also has another identity. He does not hide it from everyone. Junior Brother Jiang Hao is all City God."
Jiang Hao flicked his sleeves and immediately changed into a purple python robe and an official hat on his head. He looked majestic. Those who knew Jiang Hao's identity were fine. Most people here didn't know Jiang Hao's identity at all and were shocked.
"Du Chenghuang, isn't that King Fulingming?"
"Then Junior Brother Jiang is already a god, isn't he?"
"I'm afraid so."
"I really didn't expect it. That's it. No wonder Junior Brother Jiang became a disciple of Laoshan before. Laoshan would accept apprentices on behalf of his master and directly accept him as a disciple with Master Xuanji. Now I understand."
Zhiqiu Yiye stood in the corner and watched Jiang Hao's eyes widen. He never imagined that the Jiang Hao he was familiar with was actually the City God, a proper god.
There was a slight discussion in the hall. Jiang Hao didn't take it seriously. He cupped his hands and said to the people around him: "I am King Fulingming, but I am also a Taoist. I invite everyone here today to ask for your help to eradicate a demon. "
"The devil is called the Black Mountain Old Demon. He is the result of the resentment of the City of Wasted Death in the underworld. The Black Mountain Old Demon has many evil deeds, causing chaos in the underworld, disturbing the laws of the underworld, and harming countless souls. I want to get rid of him to maintain law and order. The Black Mountain Old Demon His strength should be in the Golden Core realm, and he has thousands of Yin soldiers under his command, so I ask for your help."
Hearing Jiang Hao's request, no one was too surprised. Killing demons and demons is the responsibility of Taoist priests, and it is also an indispensable experience on the road of spiritual practice. They always have a sense of duty in their hearts to serve the common people and the world.
Next, Jiang Hao is ready to release his plan.
He cupped his hands and said to the surrounding people: "One more thing is that the City God's Mansion summons monks from all over the world. Those who are interested in joining the City God's Mansion can be assigned the positions of City God, judge, and chief officer of various departments according to their status, cultivation and talents."
After hearing Jiang Hao's second sentence, the hall suddenly started talking again, this time the voice was louder than before.
Becoming a city god, judge, or chief official is not a big temptation for a true immortal cultivator, because the purpose of cultivation is to live forever, to ascend to the immortal world, and to enjoy a higher level.
But the problem is that the path of cultivation is extremely difficult. It is completely shaped like a pyramid. In this world, the golden elixir monks stand at the top of the tower. However, there are only a few twenty or thirty real golden elixir monks. Even the Seventy-Two Immortal Sects , most of them don’t have a strong Jindan person in charge.
There are as many cultivators as there are in the world. Monks in the foundation-building stage are already masters, while those in the Qi-refining stage are the mainstream.
The lifespan of a person in the Qi refining stage is not much longer than that of a normal person. In the Tao foundation stage, one can live for 200 years. There are only a few people who can climb the Golden Elixir, and they all die of old age in the end.
As for how difficult it is to continue cultivating in the next life, the Taoist scriptures record that when Lu Dongbin came down to earth to experience, he almost lost his nature. It was only under the guidance of a master who had become an immortal that he could return to the path of immortality. If you don’t have such a master, how can you come from there? Confidence to embark on the path of cultivation again.
Even if they reach the golden elixir realm, no one has ascended to immortality for hundreds of years, and it is even said that the gate of immortality has been closed.
The road to immortality is filled with difficulties.
Being an undercover agent in the City God's Mansion, although unlike becoming an immortal, one can be free and unrestrained, but one can completely achieve the immortality of one's soul, and one can also practice to become a god. All the gods in heaven have become gods with their souls, so their status is not low at all.
Cultivation as an immortal is like running your own business. Being a city god is like being a civil servant. Cultivation as an immortal may make you rich overnight. Although the chance is slim, it is highly attractive because everyone loves to dream and wants to be the richest man. When the time comes, Enjoy the glory and wealth.
City God's Yin Chai civil servants have a harder time, they are not paid enough to eat, they have a lot of things to do, and there are many rules. If you are not careful, you may be punished by regulations. The advantage is stability, and you can basically see the whole situation at a glance.
Is becoming a City God's ghost messenger attractive to these Taoist sects?
Of course.
A lot of it is.
They are not stupid. If they have the opportunity to achieve the Golden Core, they will never join the City God as a ghost messenger. However, if they have no hope of wasting time, they might as well join the City God to save their lives. Therefore, this is the most attractive to the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, and even many sect leaders are tempted.
As for the cultivators in the Golden Core Realm, although they will not join the City God team, they have many disciples under their tutelage. Many disciples have reached a very old age and have no hope of promotion and can only wait for death.
So these Golden Core cultivators thought that if they could join the City God, it would be a good way out for their disciples.
