Spiritual recovery?It doesn't matter, I will speak out!

Chapter 57 The general trend
"I didn't expect that you were also a gatekeeper. If I knew it last night, I wouldn't have to be so careful. Seeing that you solved that wronged soul casually, I thought you were a monk who came here to travel."

Cao Zheng, or the past self-proclaimed Cao Ji at this time, was leading Jiang Lan around to get familiar with the environment of the headquarters.

Jiang Shou smiled: "I was offended yesterday. I didn't know that you were Duke Cao's younger brother. I hope you don't mind."

"It doesn't matter, my ability is not as good as my brother's, so I will help him handle the affairs of the clubhouse. As for the affairs of the gatekeeper, Old Wei is in charge of the house, and brother is in charge of the outside. In comparison, I can be regarded as leisure."

The two came to the viewing platform, and Cao Ji stood on a platform protruding from the edge of the building with his hands behind his back, pointing at the city below:

"In fact, my interests are only these human fireworks, so I like to drink and have fun with some ordinary friends, regardless of other things."

Consciously, Jiang Shou was half a body behind, looking at the ant-sized, endless stream of traffic under his feet, he also felt a little emotional: "Who doesn't want to be a rich man carefree?"

Cao Ji turned his head and asked curiously, "Then why are you practicing so hard?"

After asking, Jiang Ping was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yes, why do you want to practice?

Seeing that Jiang Xi was at a loss, Cao Ji turned around again, and pointed out: "I heard from my elder brother that everyone who is a quack can achieve it. As long as he has merit and virtue and walks the right way, it is nothing more than the difference between fast and slow. But Master Tongtian is different, you have to know what you are practicing for.

If the quack warlock is compared to a lake, then the Tongtian mage is an ocean. If there is no beacon to guide the direction, he will get lost sooner or later. The ocean can bring surprises, but it can also bring death. "

Jiang Xi felt that he had caught something, but it was vague, and it was difficult to figure out the essence of it, so he could only nod with a vague understanding: "Thank you for your guidance."

"Think about it, don't worry, go, I'll take you out to have a look."

"Go out?" Jiang Ping was puzzled.

Cao Ji pointed to the mountains in the distance: "When I have nothing to do, I like to go to places where no one is around, and sit alone on the top of the mountain for a few hours, which helps me stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and helps me think.

When I came up, I met Mr. Wei. He told me about your situation. Don’t you want to practice righteousness? I suggest that if you have nothing to do, you can go to a place where no one is around to study more, especially when the sun and the moon are changing in the morning and evening. It is the most suitable time of the day for comprehension, and it is also the time when it is easiest to communicate with the world. At that time, reciting will get twice the result with half the effort. "

"it is good."

The two went downstairs side by side, just in time to meet Elder Wei who had returned without taking something away.

Old Wei was a little surprised to see that Jiang Pang seemed to be so familiar with Cao Zheng.

Seeing Mr. Wei, Jiang Xi was fine, but Cao Ji's expression was a little unnatural.

"Mr. Cao, what are you?"

"What Mr. Cao?" Cao Ji quickly waved his hand: "Mr. Wei, you misidentified me and my elder brother again?"

After all, he quietly sent a voice transmission to Old Wei, telling Old Wei that he thinks that Jiang Xi is a good seedling and wants to cultivate him, but he doesn't want him to be arrogant because of him, so he let the past pretend to be his younger brother and deceive Jiang Xi.

Although this explanation is far-fetched, and there is always something wrong with the logic, but out of trust in Cao Zheng, Wei Lao chose to pretend to be stupid, and told Jiang Xi not to be rude, and not to let go of homework, to study hard and teach him in the morning knowledge.

Jiang Shou nodded, and thanked Old Wei again, but he secretly looked at Cao Ji, but he became suspicious again.

Following Cao Ji by car to the Yangding Mountains outside Yangcheng, and breathing the fresh air here, Jiang Xi really felt like he was letting go.

"Cao uh."

"Just call me Boss Cao."

"Okay, Boss Cao, actually there is a question I've always wanted to ask, but whether it's in front of Xiao Zhimen or Wei Lao, I don't think it's appropriate to ask this question, I think"

"My cultivation level is no better than my brother or Old Wei's. You can just treat me as a friend, but it doesn't matter."

Seeing that the other party was so approachable, Jiang Xi's courage also increased, organized his language, and asked what he had always wanted to ask:

"What the hell is a gatekeeper?"

Cao Ji couldn't help laughing: "The gatekeeper is the gatekeeper, why ask?"

"I'm talking about the meaning of gatekeepers."

Jiang Chuan sat on a big rock, propped his hands on his back, leaned his body backwards, and looked up at the blue and calm sky:

"Whether it is gluttonous ghosts, evil cultivators, or ghosts, they are always in the minority. There are so many decent sects everywhere, and practitioners are naturally indispensable. If it is to deal with these threats, they are enough. What about the early ones?"

"If you put it in the past, it is true."

Cao Ji sighed:

"Since the Yuan Dynasty, the luck of the Central Plains that has been passed down for countless years has been broken up, and the rules are lacking. In the era of the end of the Dharma, the spiritual energy of the world has become thinner, and it is no longer like the past where everyone can obtain the Tao.

Even relying on merit and virtue to practice is a way explored by later generations, as an improvement and replacement of traditional practice methods.

This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that no matter who it is, as long as it is successful in cultivation, it must be a good person with great merit. The disadvantage is that the upper limit becomes lower. No matter who it is, even if the life span is extended because of the practice , and it is impossible to obtain merits that can support cultivation to the true god in one's lifetime.

In other words, it is impossible for anyone to truly attain the Dao nowadays. "

"Isn't there only four saints in the true god?"

"Of course not." Cao Ji shook his head: "Those are the four most primitive, most powerful, and the first saints. There have been other true gods in later generations, but they are not enough to compare with those four saints, so we can only They are immortal gods, not holy gods, such as Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Dao, Zhang Daoling of the Celestial Master, etc., are all immortal gods."

"So that's the case." Jiang Xi thought thoughtfully: "Then what does this have to do with the establishment of the gatekeeper?"

"There are people who can't reach the heights that they can't reach in their entire lives, but they can easily reach it by relying on ghosts and ghosts when they fall into evil ways. If it were you, how would you choose?"

"Is it true?"

"truth."

"Probably choose a simpler and easier way."

Hearing Jiang Lan's answer, Cao Ji didn't blame him, on the contrary, he even expressed his understanding.

"This is understandable, but the problem is that in the past, ghosts were not easy to find, so evil cultivators were rare, but now we are about to usher in the revival of spirits, and evil spirits all over the world are born one after another, including many legendary monsters and ghosts. For evil cultivators, that is a great thing."

Cao Ji had a look of worry that couldn't be concealed between his brows and eyes:

"This recovery seems to be only aimed at human beings, because even if the spirit is recovered, the rules of heaven and earth are still not changed, that is to say, if we want to practice, we can only rely on merit.

But if it is said that the acquisition of ghosts becomes easier, then who would choose the method with a lower upper limit of effort instead of the simple method of becoming stronger?

If things go on like this, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the orthodox practice world, and it will also be a nightmare for ordinary people.

But this is a general trend, and it is impossible to reverse it by individual strength alone, so the gatekeeper appeared, but everything we did was just to delay the time for the complete recovery of the spirit, and hope that in the limited time, we can find The method of confrontation prevents this world from turning into a hell. "

After hearing this, Jiang Chou remained silent.

He looked at Cao Ji's tall and straight back, but was not moved by these words.

At first glance, it seems that the gatekeeper is a magnificent and upright organization, but out of a keen sense of self-interest, he always thinks about problems from the perspective of interests first.

Even though everything is so reasonable, Jiang Lan always feels that there are some important details that he has overlooked.
