Awakened people, and young people who stand out in the Chaoshan Festival, especially those from civilian families. Many people deliberately alienated their family ties after embarking on the road of cultivation. There are even many people, like the old Zen master, who left their hometown

, and never went back.

The word "otherworldly" often represents the loss of a family relationship. It represents the breakdown of families.

Cultivators have their own crowd effect, but those ruthless and heartless cultivators, while bringing glory to their families, have abandoned their families.

"I must go back to my hometown. There are my parents, brother, sister, and my childhood friends. I have many friends in my hometown..." Ding Yi's eyes glowed with heat.

"They are all mortals, but they are all very kind and honest people... By the way, I heard people say that Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings. Why don't I feel that you have this idea?" Ding Yi suddenly changed the subject.

After hearing this, Qiu Yihong thought for a moment and said: "You have misunderstood the phrase 'all living beings are equal'. 'All living beings are equal' is indeed the content of Buddhism. However, this sentence refers to the equality of all living beings and the compassion for all living beings.

Equality of joy and equanimity means that in the face of the law of cause and effect, all living beings are equal, not that all living beings have equal opportunities and equal status."

"That means that you Buddhists do not advocate equal treatment in the true sense, but do you treat monks and mortals differently?" Ding Yi asked.

The old Zen master nodded.

"This is exactly what I am curious about you. Do you know why Daoyuan Imperial Master will specifically target you and the puppet system, and spare no effort to get rid of you and destroy the puppet system? It is because of this of your puppet system

The concept is a complete subversion of tradition. You want to use cultivation technology to let mortals have the abilities of cultivators. You pursue equality between mortals and cultivators. You are challenging the status of the entire cultivator class. Of course, Taoyuan cannot let you

You succeeded!"

Ding Yi nodded. He had heard this truth from Luyuan before and didn't find it strange. He asked: "Brother Hong, do you think I am treasonous?"

Qiu Yihong replied honestly: "I don't know. I can't say that what you are doing is wrong. Every idea has its reason. The empire's approach is to make cultivation, pure language, professional, scientific, and the empire

The reason for its rise is due to this set of institutional methods, which makes cultivation a scientific system. Everything operates around this system... That's why there are so many experimental sites in the Giant Rock Continent. In order to pursue

At the extreme level of cultivation, the empire has indeed done many things that are against human ethics."

Ding Yi said: "Brother Hong, I am not asking you to accept my thoughts. I was originally a very simple child. Since I was a child, I have dreamed that one day I can become a cultivator and be able to travel around the world... I was born in a commoner family, and there is no cultivator in my ancestors.

My only ability is that I have a good memory and have my own way of learning. By chance, I came into contact with the Puppet Technique, which is probably the only Taoist method in the world that has no threshold limit..."

"I longed to fly, to control the wind and rain, and to have all the magic arts... I was so simple and naive at that time, and had no other ideas at all. Becoming a cultivator was not only my ideal, but being a cultivator was also the object of my worship. At that time, there was a

There is a sentence in the fantasy disc that impressed me deeply. 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'. My understanding at the time was that all cultivators are heroes. Because what we eat and use is from them.

Made by them, and we are blessed by them...

It wasn't until later that a drastic change occurred in the city where I lived, which allowed me to see the real side of the world. The various actions and attitudes of the heroes I once admired and worshiped when this tragedy came made me have a better understanding of the world.

A different perspective.”

"I was just a puppet workshop apprentice at that time, not even a feather-level person. In order to prevent tens of thousands of civilians from being driven out of the city, I used my connections and abilities for the first time to use my

Trivial knowledge of puppetry, trying to prevent this from happening..."

"Yes, I succeeded. Those civilians were saved because of my inventions. Moreover, Jiyun City, an originally remote town, rose rapidly and became the most shining city in Liuhua Continent.

After more than a year, when I went back, I could hardly recognize the city I was in. The word "changing with each passing day" is a perfect way to describe my hometown Jiyun City. Seeing the prosperous city, I followed my own rules.

I am really proud that our ideas are flourishing and making all the people living on this land prosperous and healthy!”

"I knew at that time that I was going to be successful in the future. There was nothing wrong with choosing the development path of cultivation technology. This is the reason why the empire rose. But the main body of this world is not the cultivators, but the billions of common people.

Common people! Cultivators, even those so-called aristocratic families, from generation to generation, their ancestors are just common people. How many aristocratic families down there have fallen because no heirs of cultivators have been born? "

Qiu Yihong said: "So, you want to break the 'separation between heaven and man' and realize 'all living beings are equal', right?"

Ding Yi looked at the old Zen master and nodded.

The two of them wandered around the street casually, exchanging thoughts with each other. Ding Yi seldom

Like today, Ding Yi felt much better after talking so much and speaking out all the things in his heart.

Didn't he want to change the old monk's thoughts? The old monk's life experience of more than 260 years, his life experience, his outlook on life, and his values. How could he change it with just a few words?

The old monk is a very good communication partner. Talking to him is like taking a breath of fresh air. The old Zen master will not argue with others because of their different ideas. His tolerant and open-minded attitude makes everyone who talks to him feel very happy.

.

The most prosperous Fugui Street in Tianfu City, although it was already past eight o'clock in the evening and the city gate had been closed, the night market had just begun.

There are endless crowds of people everywhere, and the shouts of merchants working hard everywhere. The life of ordinary people in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation is not as exciting as that of cultivators. But you can buy a small commodity that suits your needs and eat delicious food.

This kind of small luck, this kind of true feelings of ordinary people, made Ding Yi miss him very much.

Ding Yi pointed at these people and said to Qiu Yihong: "Brother Hong, look at these people here. In fact, their requirements are not many. Businessmen only hope that they can sell goods every day and that people will come to patronize them."

His business can make a fortune. Ordinary people here hope to buy things they like and eat food they like. Their needs are really not high..."

"They believe in and agree with the rule of the empire. They simply believe that their current stable and happy life is all due to the rule of cultivators. They humblely believe that the 'separation between heaven and man' is right, and cultivators are

Their God will bless them to continue their happy life."

"Who would have known that in the testing ground less than three hundred miles away from them, there are tens of millions of innocent mortals like them who are suffering terrible torture! Countless golden horns and long tails will not believe in the empire until their death.

This will be done to them."

Qiu Yihong didn't expect that Ding Yi would have such a big mood swing and have so many complaints today.

"Xiao Wu, these words are not suitable to be said here. Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Qiu Yihong suggested.

Ding Yi also knew that he was a little too angry today.

"Brother Hong, don't we have no money?" Seeing Qiu Yihong walking towards a teahouse on the street, he had to remind his companion who had not been in contact with society for more than a hundred years.

Qiu Yihong turned his head and smiled at Ding Yi.

He smiled and said to Ding Yi: "Xiao Wu, do you really think I'm a savage who doesn't understand the world? What do you think this is?" As he spoke, a money bag appeared in his hand like a magic trick.

This old Zen master is indeed a thief monk!

"Do you still remember the evil boss who beat up his employees? This is his wallet." The thief monk explained with a smile.

Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, punishing the strong and eradicating the evil, rescuing the weak...isn't this exactly the chivalrous spirit promoted in the fantasy disc? This is possible! Ding Yi's impression of the thief monk has improved greatly.

"Originally, I was planning to punish the fat man late at night, but I didn't expect you to take the lead. Brother Hong, what a trick. I've been following you and I haven't seen you operating your spiritual power. I didn't expect that you are so capable with nothing.

, so powerful, able to pick up objects from the air with just his thoughts, this hand of 'making something out of nothing' is really beautiful!" Ding Yi praised sincerely.

I followed the old Zen master into the tea house. The decoration of this tea house is exquisite and very elegant. It can be seen that it is the handiwork of a cultivator. Some details are handled by ordinary people. Moreover, this tea house is also equipped with a spirit gathering formation to remove dust.

The spiritual curtain cannot be seen by these mortals, but Ding Yi noticed it as soon as he entered.

"I'm sorry, guests, our place is reserved today, please forgive me." A sweet-looking girl hurried over and apologized repeatedly.

Ding Yi and the old Zen master were both easy-going people. Besides, they had already apologized, so they said nothing more and turned around to leave.

At this time, a few young men and women walked in outside the tea house. The girl hurriedly greeted: "Wei Shao, you and your friends are welcome to come. Please come inside."

Originally they just passed by each other, but Ding Yi didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance here, "Flower Girl" He Qionglan!

This was his opponent in the Qinglian Tournament. The two had fought against each other before. He Qionglan's 'trick' left a deep impression on Ding Yi. This was the first Xuan-level opponent that Ding Yi defeated. 'Huatian

The Great War is also a battle that Ding Yi talks about so much. He never expected to meet her here.

Ding Yi entered the city with a changed image. He wore a phantom mask. But this time, he did not bring a guinea pig or the telepathic device that could change the fluctuations of his soul.

He and He Qionglan had fought against each other before. As the core figures of the two teams, how could he not remember the characteristics of the other party's soul fluctuations?

Westbrook is a sunny boy in his twenties. He should only have spiritual level cultivation, but his handsome appearance gives him a lot of points. It can be seen that many female cultivators around him are

I have a good impression of him, but he is destined to be just a supporting role in this tea party.

He Qionglan was already at the beginning of Xuan level three years ago. This beautiful girl of wood type has extremely proud qualifications and talents. She is the top genius girl in the world. She is the most shining among this group of people.

That bright

beads.

He Qionglan is not the highest-ranking person among this group of people. There is also a man and a woman, and two monks accompanying them. These two are both intermediate Xuan-level monks and are He Qionglan's guardians.

He Qionglan is still dressed the same as she was three years ago, wearing a floral skirt, but there are many beautiful flowers added to this cultivation instrument. She wears many scattered flower-themed trinkets with her. Three

We haven't seen her for years, and she has become more and more beautiful.

He Qionglan is always the center of attention, not to mention her colorful outfit.

Ding Yi quickly turned his head to the side, pretending not to recognize him, trying to get past him.

He Qionglan didn't notice Ding Yi at first. After all, Ding Yi wore makeup. Besides, Ding Yi's image has changed a lot in the past few years. Even without makeup, He Qionglan would not recognize him at first glance. Her attention had just begun.

, was placed on the old monk. The old Zen master Yuan Ting Yue Zhi had an extraordinary bearing. He Qionglan could not see through the depth of the old Zen master. It was obvious that he was a powerful and expert man.

How lucky she was to be able to meet a Grand Master in a small place like Tianfu City. She and the guardian behind her immediately identified Grand Master Qiu Yihong. She bowed to this unknown master.

It is not surprising to know that there are many masters who like to hang out in the market.

Originally this was just an accidental encounter. He Qionglan and the others would not deliberately disturb the master, and they met by chance. Not all powerful monks like to support their juniors, and many big shots do not like to expose their identities as powerful monks. He Qionglan himself also has a problem.

As a master who is a grand master, she cannot lose her master's name and deliberately serve other grand masters.

He Qionglan glanced at Ding Yi, an ordinary-looking black boy with a cultivation level around the spiritual level. There was nothing unusual about him. But this was obviously the first time he had seen this black boy. Why did he feel like he had seen him before?

He Qionglan used her spiritual consciousness to sweep away, and her face turned pale with fright.

This, this black guy, turned out to be dressed up as Ding Yi! No wonder this guy turned his head away when he saw him.

He Qionglan was always a star-studded person, but when everyone saw her smiling and talking, their expressions suddenly changed, and they felt a sudden shock in their hearts, becoming nervous all of a sudden.
