Chapter 41 Dilemma

Within a few days, some scholars and monks were led into the Rubik's Cube space by Yan Jiuge.

The abundant spiritual energy here makes these practitioners ecstatic, just like travelers in the desert seeing an oasis.

In the next two months, Zhang Ke learned the language from many scholars.

At the same time, he deduced the Tao techniques suitable for Yan Jiuge to convert to Shinto.

To everyone's surprise, two months had passed and the demonic insects had not attacked once.

This made everyone excited.

what does that mean?

It means that the demonic insects dare not attack Chuanyun Peak, which means that it is really safe here.

The real person "Zunlun" has the ability to protect this place.

From this, the name "Zhuanlun" took root in everyone's hearts.

As the news of Chuanyun Peak spread, more gathering places moved here one after another.

Although some gathering place leaders are unwilling to do so.

But this is the general trend.

People have already had enough of hiding from XZ all year round and living in fear.

At this moment, a stable and safe place suddenly appeared, which was a temptation that no one could refuse.

For this, they are willing to pay any price.

In the past two months, there is another incident that has attracted the attention of many people.

A woman named Lu Duo became a disciple of "Zhuan Lun".

She was the woman who Yan Jiuge rescued in the meeting hall.

She was just an ordinary person. Her husband and children were killed by demonic insects, but she was lucky enough to escape with her life.

The reason why she was admitted was because she showed her determination through her actions.

Climbing Chuanyun Peak with bare hands took 21 days and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

For monks, there is no difficulty in climbing up and down Chuanyun Peak.

But it's different for ordinary people.

Steep cliffs and dangerous mountain winds can cause you to fall into the mountain stream if you are not careful.

There are even many places where there are no roads.

We can only dig out the foothold bit by bit and then climb up.

Zhang Ke was also moved by Lu Duo's perseverance and accepted him as his personal disciple.

The real person "Zhuan Lun" is actually willing to accept ordinary people as his disciples.

Suddenly, hundreds of people rushed to follow suit, but no one could successfully reach the top.

Seven people even slipped and fell into the mountain stream and died on the spot.

Only some people understood what an amazing feat Lu Duo had done.

The threat of death has discouraged most people from climbing mountains.

But a few people have strengthened their confidence.

It must be said that Lu Duo's apprenticeship gave everyone hope.

Sha Jinou stood on the mountainside, watching the flow of people coming from all directions.

At this moment, the area around Chuanyun Peak has long been occupied by densely packed human beings.

But there are still countless people outside gathering here.

I can't help but feel a little numb on my scalp.

Demonic insects have been raging for many years, so I thought there wouldn't be too many humans nearby.

But now it seems that they have underestimated the vitality of the human race as tenacious as weeds.

Yesterday, he just counted the number of humans under Chuanyun Peak.

Forty-seven thousand six hundred and twenty-one people.

But today the number of new people has exceeded 4,000.

If this continues, Chuanyun Peak will not be able to maintain the survival of so many people.

Even now, Sha Jin Ou feels overwhelmed.

The consumption of tens of thousands of people is now struggling to survive solely on the little savings in each gathering place.

No one is a fool, as there are more and more people in Chuanyun Peak.

Survival supplies are bound to be tight.

In the past few days, leaders from various gathering places came to Sha Jinou to complain about their poverty.

Several people starved to death the day before yesterday...How many people got sick yesterday...A few more people died because of fighting for food...

Ling Ling always comes to Sha Jin Ou in various ways to ask for benefits.

Sha Jinou gritted his teeth and withstood all the pressure.

He knew that these people were waiting for him to make a mistake, and once he caused a large number of casualties in the gathering place.

Not even the real "Zhuanlun" can try to suppress the excited crowd.

As early as two months ago, Shajin'ou had organized people to plant grains outside Chuanyun Peak.

Even dozens of water wells were drilled.

But it will take at least a month for the grains to mature.

This is already because the ashes from the burned corpses of demonic insects are used as fertilizer to speed up growth.

Now all this requires the accumulation of time, and what is most lacking now is time.

After much thought, Sha Jinou decided to seek help from Master Zhuanlun.

Making up his mind, he turned around and flew towards the top of the mountain.

...

Within the Rubik's Cube space.

Yan Jiuge studied the lessons set by Zhang Kebu.

Because she has been fighting with demonic insects all year round, she has no time to study Taoism.

As a result, my own foundation is very poor, and I just rely on the power of Tao seed to practice.

This kind of practice has little impact at low levels, but will encounter obstacles when reaching advanced levels.

Since she has become her teacher, Zhang Ke naturally wants her to go further.

Zhang Ke also has some experience in teaching disciples.

Zhang Ke compiled all his understanding and insights into the Taoist Scriptures into six volumes.

The content increases layer by layer from simple to profound.

Here are various previous discussions and justifications learned from his studies, as well as some of his unique viewpoints.

The Taoist Scriptures are written only in this world script, while the annotations are expressed in Yunzhuan.

Taoist scriptures require a lifetime of study, and everyone’s understanding is different.

If it is written in Yunzhuan, it may not be consistent with Yan Jiuge's ideas.

The saying goes, "Those who learn from me will live, and those who are like me will die." This is the truth.

In fact, this world also has Taoist scriptures passed down. The contents are generally the same, but a few parts are different.

Zhang Ke did not ask Yan Jiuge to study what he taught, it was just a reference.

As for the annotations written in Yunzhuan, it was also so that she could understand and realize her own ideas while studying.

Every few days, Zhang Ke would check Yan Jiuge's learning progress.

If he learns well, he will teach Yan Jiuge some talisman skills, which is Yan Jiuge's favorite.

If you learn poorly, you will naturally be punished.

Writing sutras, reciting Taoist treatises, and entering the wheel-turning tower to hone one's soul are all commonplace.

The worst time was when Zhang Ke gave him a whip as punishment.

This whip almost knocked her soul away, and she never dared to neglect it from then on.

The Taoist scriptures are profound and obscure, and the annotations have their own reasons.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially there are many metaphors and ambiguous sentences in the annotations of these predecessors.

Yan Jiuge was often confused and affected by these annotations.

On the contrary, Zhang Ke's annotations are very straightforward, including affirmations and speculations, which are clear at a glance.

Therefore, whenever Yan Jiuge couldn't understand, he would study Master's annotations.

There is often a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

In the past two months, Yan Jiuge felt that he had made huge gains.

At this moment, she was studying Zhang Ke's understanding of "the best is like water" in Chapter 8 of the Taoist Scriptures on the desk.

Suddenly, I felt someone was watching me.

Looking back, he saw Sha Jinou looking at him with a smile.

He couldn't help but said happily: "Jin Ou! I haven't seen you for some time."

Sha Jinou looked at the stacks of Taoist books on the table.

Looking at Yan Jiuge's ethereal aura, I felt very envious.

"Alas! Things are complicated down the mountain, how can they be compared to the leisure and ease here."

Yan Jiuge said with a half-smile, "If you are interested, how about I ask Master to take you in?"

Sha Jinou's smile faltered. He preferred the feeling of being in control.

He smiled bitterly and said, "You have seen through all these little thoughts!"

Yan Jiuge's words actually came from his heart.

Perhaps it is because there have been no practitioners above the innate realm in this world for many years.

Today's monks actually practice for the sake of magical powers and the powerful power of Taoism.

Instead, the original intention of practice has been forgotten.

Yan Jiuge was originally like this, but after recent practice, he has understood the fundamentals of practice.

So she hopes Sha Jinou can give up immediate interests.

But looking at Sha Jinou's expression, Yan Jiuge suddenly understood why Zhang Ke was unwilling to accept Sha Jinou as his disciple.

This is not your ambition! Why force it?

Yan Jiuge sighed secretly in his heart, maybe Sha Jin'ou will understand it in the future, but I'm afraid it's already too late.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Is there something wrong here?"

Sha Jinou's expression became solemn and he explained the current situation in detail.

After Yan Jiuge listened, he thought about it for a long time and couldn't find a good solution.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!

In desperation, Yan Jiuge had no choice but to go to the quiet room to find his master.

This was specially constructed by Zhang Ke for his own deduction of Taoism.

Pushing the door open, I saw several gray-haired scholars arguing fiercely.

Zhang Ke sat aside, turning the Rubik's Cube in his hand, looking thoughtful.

"...In the past, Piaomiao Dao Zun said: The Great Evolution is fifty, the Heaven Evolution is forty-nine, and one of them can be escaped!

It has been said that heaven and earth are full of inspirations, and we must not exhaust the lake to catch fish; we must leave a sliver of hope.

According to what the real person said, the dissipation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is due to the excessive harvesting of spiritual energy in this world. I think it makes sense.

The immediate plan is to call on everyone to stop consuming spiritual stones to prevent the spiritual power of this world from completely disappearing."

Another scholar with an iron-grey face let out a "hum".

“This sounds easy to say, but in fact it is impossible.

Nowadays, our survival is a problem, and monster insects are threatening us all the time.

Magical weapons, magic formations, and monks' daily practice all require the use of spiritual stones.

Without the spirit stone, what should we do to deal with the demonic insects?"

The scholar who started to speak said anxiously: "But if we continue like this, we will wait until all the spiritual stones are harvested.

I’m afraid I won’t even be able to produce monks in the future, what should I do?”

Another scholar sighed: "At this time, even the survival of the human race is a problem, and we have no choice at all.

There is no need to worry about the future. Without the present, there is no future.

Should I still consider whether I die today or tomorrow?"

As soon as this statement came out, many scholars were silent and all turned to Zhang Ke.

Now the only hope in this world is probably with him.

Zhang Ke did not make any statement.

Instead, he turned around and said, "Jiu Ge! Is something wrong?"

Yan Jiuge stepped forward and said, "Master! Jin Ou is here and he told me something."

Then he talked about the current material shortage in Chuanyun Peak.

Zhang Ke pondered for a moment: "Ask Jin Ou to come in!"

Not long after, Sha Jinou entered the Rubik's Cube space, looked around and came to Zhang Ke.

He bowed and saluted: "Junior, I pay my respects to the real person!"

Zhang Kedao: "Sit down! Please explain the matter in detail."

Sha Jinou talked about all the problems currently existing in the gathering place.

Many scholars were also listening on the sidelines, and after some calculation in their minds, they all felt that this matter was a bit tricky.

Due to the raging demonic insects, the human race is always in a state of migration.

As a result, not only food is scarce, but all other supplies are extremely scarce.

Nowadays, people are constantly migrating to the gathering place every day. Once a food crisis occurs, it will inevitably cause great panic.

Zhang Ke touched his chin and thought about countermeasures secretly.

After a moment, he said: "Now there is a lack of food, water, medicine and various daily supplies at the foot of the mountain.

And the weather is getting cooler, so we need to prepare winter supplies, is that what you mean?"

Sha Jinou nodded and said: "Exactly!"

Zhang Kedao: "If I have no choice, what are you going to do?"

Sha Jinou's breath was stagnant and he said in a harsh voice: "I can only advise everyone to leave and continue to migrate as before."

Zhang Ke shook his head and said: "Chuanyun Peak is so big, if they leave my protection range.

When the demonic insects attack, there will probably be heavy casualties."

Sha Jinou's heart sank and he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Ke added: "Since you want to take on the great cause of revitalizing the human race, there is one thing you must consider."

Sha Jinou blurted out and asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Kedao: "When doing things, you have to leave me out."

Sha Jinou was stunned, and everyone around him was also in a daze, wondering why he said this.

Zhang Ke suddenly smiled: "I came here as a wanderer from the outside world, and I might leave at some point.

What will you do when I leave?"

Everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

The human race finally found a foundation, and it was Zhang Ke who relied on it.

No one thought that Zhang Ke would leave one day.

Maybe some people have thought of it, but don't dare to express this question.

At this time, the window paper was punctured, and everyone suddenly panicked.

Just in case Zhang Ke suddenly leaves one day.

Without his protection, everything we have now would be like a dream.

Yan Jiuge said in a trembling voice: "Master...Master! Do you really want to leave?"

Several people nearby waited with bated breath for Zhang Ke's answer.

Zhang Ke replied somewhat coldly: "Yes! I will have to leave here sooner or later. Isn't this normal?

This realm is lacking in vitality, and I thought that if I could further my cultivation, I would leave naturally.

Besides, I still have many relatives waiting for me in my own realm, so how can I stay here for a long time?"

Sha Jinou was speechless, not knowing how to keep Zhang Kewan here.

After a long time, he hesitated and said: "There are also your disciples here, so you can't..."

He couldn't speak any more.

yes!

After all, Zhang Ke is not from this world.

Naturally, there is no sense of belonging, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to leave.

Yan Jiuge looked a little sad, and Zhang Ke's words hurt her deeply.

Zhang Ke smiled "haha" and spoke again.

"Besides, even if I stay, with my cultivation in the Golden Core realm, I can only protect you for a few hundred years.

If you don't make changes, this place will return to its original state after I die.

Then what's the point of me staying here!

Do you want me to give up my path just to let you survive?"

After a pause, Zhang Ke added: "Besides, I heard that this world is not very friendly to people who do good deeds!"

Sha Jinou and the others were somewhat resentful, but at this time they couldn't help but feel a little red-faced.

Having said this, Zhang Ke smiled coldly.

"I'm not your father, so why do I bother to spoil you?"
