I changed the world

As Dazhao people who grew up immersed in Eastern culture since childhood, they have all received the most basic influence of modern ideas.In particular, several medical staff at Yongji Hall have all received formal education and grew up. Regardless of whether they really have faith or not, deep down in their hearts, they don’t actually think that one day, those stories that only appear in myths and legends will happen. , will really appear in front of them with a vivid attitude.

However, it turns out that when all this really appeared in front of them in an irresistible manner, their outlook on life was subverted.

Some cultural genes hidden deep in their cognition completely occupied their minds at this time. No one would question the judgment of Supervisor Li, a "professional authority" at this time.

"Three rites..."

After completing all the etiquette, under the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Jingxin straightened his clothes, stepped forward, reached out to twist the door handle, and heard a click. The door that could not be opened before was easily opened. .

"Teacher, my disciple Li Jingxin wants to see you." Li Jingxin did not enter the room immediately, but stood at the door of the room, bowed again, and then reported.

After a while, no one responded. Li Jingxin walked into the room carefully. He looked around carefully and found that everything seemed to be the same as before. In the center of the mourning hall, the body of his teacher Xiao Daoguang was also found. As before, lying on the medical bed, nothing seemed to have changed.

Li Jingxin walked carefully to the medical bed, first stretched out his hand to check Xiao Daoguang's breath, and found that the old man had really passed away, and there was no sign of resurrection.

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps behind him. Li Jingxin frowned and looked back, only to find that it was the dean of Yongji Hall and others who were rushing over panting.

Originally, Dean Yu had already left the hospital after handling Mr. Xiao's matter. However, before he had gone far, he received another stammering summons from the doctor on duty.So Busan asked the driver to turn around and drove back to the hospital.

This also gave him the opportunity to witness that shocking scene.

When he re-entered the hospital, he was even surrounded by fanatical reporters and believers.Obviously, everyone wants to know what happened?

In fact, even Dean Yu was still confused at this time. At this time, he took a slightly uneasy look at the scene in the mourning hall. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he smiled and asked Li Jingxin in the mourning hall: "Supervisor Li, I'm here to cause trouble again..."

Even Dean Yu himself didn't realize that his tone at this time was completely different from when he left not long ago.At that time, although he was polite, it was no more than that. It was more of a ceremonial respect and politeness.However, at this time, that kind of mentality mixed with curiosity, anxiety, and awe was about to emerge.

"Infinite Blessings Heavenly Lord, Dean Yu is so polite. You are the landlord here, why bother?"

The smile on Dean Yu's face became brighter when he heard this, and he asked the nurses and others if it was appropriate, and finally asked: "Li Jianyuan, just now, many medical staff saw a strange light coming from the mourning hall. , I wonder...Does Supervisor Li know the reason?"

"This matter...when the ancestor emerged, various dharma phenomena appeared..."

"what……"

Although he had been mentally prepared, Dean Yu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard the confirmation from an authoritative person like Li Jingxin, and subconsciously glanced at the medical bed where Mr. Xiao's body was parked.

"Mr. Xiao is a man of great virtue and prestige, with extraordinary achievements. He is such an immortal figure... He is really admired by me and other younger generations..." Dean Yu's words at this time were quite sincere.

Even the attitude towards Li Jingxin became more and more respectful. After all, this Yunxiao Mountain obviously had real talent and knowledge, and presumably so, otherwise, how could the royal family have given Mr. Xiao a clerical seal.As expected, my status is still insufficient and my knowledge is limited...

Thinking about it this way, this Supervisor Li in front of me might be a god with special skills. After all, he has a master like this...

Hmm... After all this, I might as well go to Dinghai Yunxiao Mountain to ask for a statue of the Heavenly Lord, and please go back to your home.It's a pity that when the old master was still alive a few years ago, why didn't he think of asking for a handwritten talisman?Sure enough, I still neglected it...

I don’t know if Li Jianyuan’s handwriting is as good as Master Nai’s?Come to think of it, there are always twenty-three out of ten...

Many thoughts passed through his mind in an instant. Dean Yu was about to speak again, but Supervisor Li stretched out his hand to stop him.

"This is not a place to talk. Don't disturb the legacy of our ancestors..." After that, he made a gesture to go out and speak.

"Exactly, exactly..."

Dean Yu was not annoyed, he held his hands in a gesture of apology, and then went out with Li Jingxin.

The two came outside the door. Li Jingxin first asked his junior brother Zhou Jingyuan who was guarding the door, and asked him to arrange for his disciples to take turns chanting sutras and keeping vigil in front of the old abbot's spirit. Then he made an invitation gesture to Dean Yu, and the two followed. When they got farther into the corridor, they stopped to talk.

"Li Jianyuan, there are now a large number of reporters and believers outside the inpatient building. The reporters and believers outside can clearly see what happened just now, and there are even video records...I guess the relevant news will start soon. Dissemination, you see... we need to have a unified voice in the future." Dean Yu considered it.

Li Jingxin also had a headache at this time. Seeing that things were developing in an increasingly uncontrollable direction, he couldn't help but feel anxious.In fact, regardless of other people's eyes, he is the most authoritative "professional" here and has the right to interpret the scene just now.However, personally, he was also confused.

What could he say? !He also wanted to find someone to ask! !

Master!If you want to ascend to immortality, can't you inform your disciples in advance?It’s good to be prepared!The disciple is over 60 years old!My heart can't bear it...

Chapter 2: Is the prison hospital hypocritical?!

However, as the supervisor of one of the most large-scale palaces in the empire and the eldest disciple of Xiao Daoguang, Li Jingxin has experienced it for a long time. He knows that since he has made a conclusion before, no matter what, he can only insist that this is the only one. The explanation was unshakable.

After all, at this point, neither Li Jingxin nor Yunxiaoguan has a second option.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "From the hospital's perspective, how long can the current situation last?"

Dean Yu thought for a while, raised his hand to look at his watch, and then said: "It is now 03:09. Normally, the hospital opens at eight in the morning. By then, it will be difficult for us to have legitimate reasons to prevent reporters from entering. . Of course, if necessary, we can also continue to limit admissions for a certain period of time for other reasons. However, if tonight's incident is revealed, tomorrow's news may not be something that our hospital can control... "

Li Jingxin nodded. What Dean Yu said was very straightforward and sincere. However, they are just a hospital after all. There are at most a dozen security guards. If there is any big disturbance, they may not be able to control it. of.

"I understand the concerns of the hospital. It's just that the matter is serious. Let's do this. I will give Dean Yu an answer in an hour."

"Supervisor Li is really mature and prudent, as it should be, as it should be... Then I won't stay any longer. I'll come back later." Dean Yu also knew that time was urgent at this time, so he didn't say much. After a few polite words, he said Say goodbye and leave.

After sending Dean Yu into the elevator, Li Jingxin hurriedly returned to the mourning hall. At this time, his junior brother Zhou Jingyuan had arranged for three disciples to recite scriptures in the mourning hall, and he himself sat there silently praying.

Li Jingxin came to Zhou Jingyuan's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and motioned him to go out and talk to him. Zhou Jingyuan then got up and followed his senior brother out of the mourning hall gate. The two of them walked to a quiet part of the corridor, and Li Jingxin took Dean Yu away. I just described what I just said.

In terms of personality, Li Jingxin is not a dictatorial person. In the past, when there were important matters in the temple, even though the teacher had long since stopped caring about secular things, he would only make the decision after convening the three capitals and five masters for discussion.This has also made him, the supervisor, always praised by superiors and subordinates, and regarded as the best candidate to lead Yunxiao Temple after Xiao Daoguang.

Although Zhou Jingyuan is not one of the five masters of the three capitals, as a personal attendant of the old master and a direct disciple of Xiao Daoguang, his status in the temple is not low.

However, the troublemaker was a big man after all. After discussing it for a while, the two still couldn't make up their minds, and such a matter obviously couldn't be decided by a small meeting on the spot.

Fortunately, communications are now developed, so I simply called back to Guan Nei, and then convened a simple online meeting using a mobile phone in a nearby conference room.

If there are outsiders present at this time, they will find that the network conferencing software used by the Taoist priests in Yunxiao Temple is not one of the more popular commercial software on the market, but a relatively niche software "password" that is famous for its confidentiality. ".This confidential communication software developed by a company that started out as a security software company in the neutral Alemannic Federation is paid, but the service it provides is famous for being point-to-point and does not leave any backup on the server. , you can choose the real-time voice function, which is equivalent to establishing an instant large-scale chat room. This kind of voice is not archived and will naturally not be viewed afterwards.Because of this characteristic of the software, it has always been used by many criminal groups and money laundering organizations.

After convening the five masters of the three capitals in the temple and some high-status practitioners, Li Jingxin started a remote meeting.

The so-called "three capitals" of Taoism in this world refer to Du Guan, Du Tuo, and Du Ke; the "five masters" refer to the hall master, palace master, sutra master, Hua master, and Jing master.On weekdays, they are the most important powerful figures in the temple. Together with some important figures such as Su Lao and Gao Gong, they can basically represent the mainstream opinions in the temple.

The news of Lao Zhenren's death had been sent back to the temple before. Therefore, although it was already early in the morning, everyone in the temple except some elderly people who couldn't bear it could take a short rest.The rest of the people did not dare to rest, and were busy making arrangements. At this time, they received a video call from the prison, and they were quickly found.

However, the news returned from the prison shocked everyone in the audience.

Has the old abbot become an ascension? !

Or in full view of the public? !

And it was witnessed by many reporters and believers? !

………………

seriously? !

Could it be that the old man in the prison was overly sad and had a delusion?

Facing the people who were half-convinced and pleading in their words, Li Jingxin was helpless and directly asked Zhou Jingyuan to describe the scene at that time.In order to make everyone in the temple believe it, he directly called two other disciples who were quick to talk and explain.

As a result, although everyone in the audience is still a little surprised and uncertain, it can't be that so many people are suffering from the same disease...

So... the old abbot has really become a saint and ascended? !

After all, everyone is a religious person and is very accepting of this. Once they accepted this fact, they became excited.

Feather and ascend!This is feathering and ascending!

Although according to Xuanmen, the old abbot should belong to the corpse and ascend, not the highest category.

However, the problem is not here. The problem is that it has ascended after all!Ever since mankind entered modern society and science and technology became prosperous, which religion in the world, let alone Taoism, has really experienced such incidents!

What happened to the autopsy?

The corpse is also ascending!

I haven’t seen it. The recently excavated tomb of Song Tianshi’s physical body shows that Song Tianshi was very likely to have been exhumed and ascended!

The mentality of the Yunxiao audience at this time can be described in one sentence, that is: "I want to fight ten of them one by one!"

Some younger Taoist priests are even thinking about how they should brag about themselves without leaving a trace the next time they meet fellow Taoists from other Dharma lineages...

There is someone in my sky!

My master has ascended!

Are you okay?

If you can do it, you can also ascend!

Even the previous generation of Danding Mountain, and even the previous generation of heavenly masters, didn’t even ascend? !

Doesn’t this just prove that our Taoism in Yunxiao Mountain is authentic and inherits the Tao of Heaven?

The only regret is, by the way, how did Mr. Xiao achieve his cultivation?

It seems that his old man didn’t pass it down?

No, maybe it has been passed down, but some people kept it secretly. After all, they knew it, and it must be a secret effort, and it is impossible to show it to the world.

Hmm... By the way, I have to ask in private later. Jing Yuan, the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is usually closest to the old master, so he might have learned some secret information...

The excitement and curiosity that burst out in an instant even diluted the sadness caused by the passing of the old abbot. It was not until a while later, after asking various questions, that their curiosity was finally calmed down. Start really discussing how to deal with the aftermath.

There is no doubt that the mourning hall where the old abbot "ascended" has become a "holy place" in a sense.After that, this mourning hall will definitely not be used. Even after the old man's body is removed, this room will need to be vacant and sealed.To this end, we need to communicate with the hospital. Thinking about it, as long as Yunxiao Temple is willing to provide certain financial compensation, the hospital will be able to do it.

In addition, what should be done with the old abbot's body next has become the focus of discussion.Most Taoist priests believe that we should take this opportunity to promote Xuanmen, especially the Yunxiao Mountain lineage.

Originally, everyone in the temple was quite worried about the death of the old abbot.

After all, the old abbot is 96 years old. As the oldest and most senior person among the Taoist sects in the empire, he is like a divine needle to the sea to Yunxiao Mountain.As long as the old abbot is alive, Yunxiao Temple's position in Xuanmen is a transcendent existence. Even the old Celestial Master of Danding Mountain would not dare to make a mistake in front of the old abbot. After all, although the Celestial Master lineage has a high status in Xuanmen, However, they are both real people, but they are still different in terms of seniority, so they cannot put on this air.

After the old abbot left, although Li Jingxin, as his eldest disciple, was well-known, he was still incomparable to the old abbot. The decline of Yunxiao Temple for a long time to come is something that can only be seen.

However, now with the blessing of the old abbot's "Eternal Transformation and Ascension", things are different again. After all, this is something that has never happened in Taoism or other religions in the world in the past hundred years. The significance cannot be overstated.

In this way, even if the old abbot is gone, as the direct lineage he left behind, the reputation of Yunxiao Mountain will not decrease, but will become more noble than before. Within Xuanmen, there is truly a Celestial Master like Danding Mountain The government has a tendency to fight against each other.After all, although the lineage of the Ancestral Heavenly Master is transcendent, it has also been a manifestation of saints in the past hundred years, and for things like religion, efficaciousness is the last word.

Therefore, almost all Taoist priests have no doubt about the need to promote Yunxiao Mountain. However, there is a debate on how to do it.

Some more impatient people believed that a press conference should be held directly, and the conclusion of the old abbot's "emergence" should be announced directly in the hospital using the limelight of the incident, so as to have the greatest impact in a short period of time.

However, this voice was soon questioned by other more mature and prudent voices. They believed that this was contrary to Taoism's tenet of "doing things without fighting, benefiting without harm".As the saying goes, "A person who knows is not knowledgeable, and a person who is knowledgeable does not know. A good person does not argue, and a person who debates is not good."

If Yunxiao Mountain showed off like it was like "finding a treasure," people would accuse the people at Yunxiao Temple of being "unfilial and immoral."After all, the old abbot’s body has not yet been buried, so you can’t wait to start “showing off”, which in itself is easy to follow the truth.

Chapter 2: Maintaining a sense of mystery

In addition, there is another hidden worry that up to now, no one has a clear explanation of how the old abbot "emerged and ascended".In fact, another secret idea that everyone tacitly shared but did not express clearly was that the idea of ​​"elevating to ascension" was, after all, the words of Li Jingxin and others, even though it seemed like it should be so.However, what the facts are and whether there are other reasons still need to be scrutinized.After all, the old abbot didn't leave a single word before his death, not even any indication of his intention to ascend.

Under such circumstances, if Yunxiao Mountain announces it with great fanfare, and then a more scientific explanation is revealed to prove that it is not the case, then the greater Yunxiao Mountain's toss at that time, the harder it will fall at that time. Unfortunately, my reputation is really going to be ruined.In history, this kind of thing has not happened before. It has happened at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, and everyone is still worried about it.

Based on the above considerations, this group's opinion is to maintain a mysterious posture. After all, as one of the most powerful figures in Xuanmen, the death of Mr. Xiao is something that cannot be suppressed, and on the night of Mr. Xiao's death, There are pictures and truth about what happened, and there were a large number of witnesses. It is impossible for such a thing not to spread widely, and there is no need for Yunxiaoshan to take the initiative to publicize it.

So, what Yunxiao Mountain has to do here is to maintain a sense of mystery, maintain an impeccable moral high ground, and make certain hints appropriately, but the sense of proportion and posture here must be grasped. As the saying goes: "The way of heaven, He is good at winning without fighting, he is good at responding without speaking, he is good at coming without being called..."

At the same time, as the greatest "evidence" here and also a "holy object", it is better to set off and transport the remains of the old abbot back to Yunxiao Mountain as soon as possible.At that time, many disciples will protect him, and the body of the old abbot will definitely be safe.

Otherwise, if you are finally dragged into conducting scientific research by relevant parties, it will be really fun...

After some discussion, Li Jingxin, the supervisor, finally made the decision that it would be better to be mature and prudent. So, for now, the top priority is to arrange for the old abbot's remains to return to Yunxiao Mountain as soon as possible.

However, those reporters have been waiting outside the hospital all night. For these "uncrowned kings", necessary comfort is still needed. They can't really leave without saying anything. That will offend a large number of media and make people feel uncomfortable. I feel that Yunxiaoguan is too arrogant.Therefore, some people should be left to deal with this aspect.

Immediately, after ending the discussion, Li Jingxin did not hesitate and went straight to Dean Yu's office and explained his attitude to the hospital directly.

The Taoist priests will be divided into two groups, and some will stay. The main ones here are Zhou Jingyuan and a few normally smart disciples. In addition to guarding the "holy place" of the mourning hall, the main responsibilities are to meet with reporters and believers later. Representative, announced the death of the old abbot.

Li Jingxin and the other disciples will escort the old abbot's body back to Yunxiao Mountain. Here, the hospital will need to provide special vehicles and professional escorts to transport the body.

As for the coordination of interviews with reporters that can be foreseen in the future, Li Jingxin said that Dean Yu can explain it truthfully. Except for a few relatively private details, other events, especially everything about Mr. Xiao's "emergence and ascension" can be truthfully stated. illustrate.

In this way, Dean Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, for him, the famous old master Xiao Daoguang died in Linzhou Yongji Hall after a failed surgery. This was not a glorious thing for the hospital.

And if Yunxiaoshan is dissatisfied, with his influence in the Xuanmen Federation, if he really wants to make trouble and wants him to resign as the dean, there will never be any director who will do it because of him. The dean of the branch faced the anger of the Yunxiao Mountain lineage.By then, even if he made no mistakes, he would probably become a victim here.

Therefore, in this matter, Dean Yu has always kept his attitude very low, and he has responded to Yunxiao Mountain's requests, just hoping to put an end to the matter.Now it seems that things are almost over.

承和36年西历2016年1月23日04:26临州云山坊张宅

In the main living room of Zhang's house, Zhang Jing and the old man sat opposite each other across the coffee table. There were tea tables, purple clay pots, tea cups and other items on the coffee table.

After some preliminary exchanges, Zhang Jing already felt that just as he had made a wish in his wish book, if the old man in front of him did not explain his identity as an "artificial human", he would definitely think that he was him. A real human being without any doubt.

Obviously, this old man has his own real personality and normal thinking ability. In this regard, he is no different from a real person.

At the same time, based on Zhang Jing’s observation and analysis of some conversations with the old man, the memory and composition of this personality should come from two aspects, and the main body should be the “soul” of Xiao Daoguang that he fused.The spirit of the soul master, so the old man has Xiao Daoguang's complete memory and even the emotions and ways of thinking derived from the memory.Secondly, there are many memories and skills implanted in the artificial man itself. This part is knowledge-based and basically does not involve character, personality and other levels.

From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that this old man is an enhanced version of Xiao Daoguang.

In addition, this body has a heartbeat and pulse. From a purely physiological point of view, it is difficult to tell the difference from ordinary people.

Zhang Jing even asked the old man straightforward questions about other aspects, especially sensitive issues such as lifespan. The old man also gave an unabashed answer. The lifespan of this artificial human body is about 300 years. According to the old man, this lifespan is almost half that of an ordinary fourth-level monk.

From this perspective, Zhang Jing also realized that the old man was truly defenseless against his "lord".Although he still doesn't know the principle of this, the old man at this time is like a loyal old servant to him. Although he has inherited Xiao Daoguang's memory and character, he has no regard for his loyalty to Zhang Jing. , but you won’t feel any violation or discomfort, as if it should be so.
