(Everyone who reads the book, please feel free to speak up. There is still a lot of purification that cannot be distributed in your hands. Don’t waste it. Any real comments can be refined and everyone has a share!)
Yong Xin's knowledge is not bad either. He knows that only those True God sects that are based on gathering faith and condensing divine power will treat all living beings as God's shepherds and regard faith as harvested wool to play this set of methods of shepherding sentient beings;
However, these are heretical methods and are not favored by the cultivation world that considers itself orthodox.
"Although our Onmyoji sect is dominated by Onmyoji, the other branch professions should not be underestimated. Although the doctrines believed by those priests may seem a little bigoted and unrighteous to outsiders, they still have merits. We practitioners should be open-minded.
Only by accepting all rivers and incorporating everything can we learn from each other's strengths and offset our weaknesses, and go further on the road of spiritual practice. Besides, I often communicate with the great priest who is the envoy of the propaganda. I have always admired the wisdom of the great priest." Itoi looked at Yushin and said with a kind of confidence.
He said in a relaxed tone. At this moment, all the coldness on his face disappeared and was replaced by a layer of seriousness unique to a seeker. His aristocratic demeanor and handsome appearance, worthy of being a child of the royal family, attracted the attention of the ladies and ladies around him.
"Here we go again. He always looks like this when he mentions cultivation. He's really a cultivation fanatic. It's unbearable that he's always so popular in such a remote place." Yongxin looked like he was defeated by you and turned over unconsciously.
He rolled his eyes. "This guy is already in his thirties, but he still has the appearance of a teenager. Does the Onmyoji he practices have special requirements in this regard?" He secretly murmured in his heart. Thanks to this.
Itoi didn't hear his thoughts, otherwise the handsome young man next to him would have used shikigami to punch a few holes in his bald head.
However, although Itoi's onmyoji practice was magical, he didn't have the magical power of his mind, so he didn't know the inner slander of the seemingly solemn bald man on the other side.
The two of them discussed the questions about spiritual practice and the form of demonic disasters from time to time while walking towards the Yangzhou Jiedu Envoy Office. Due to the impact of the demonic disasters, the division of power and the system of officials in the imperial court have been greatly changed. The affairs in charge of various places have become more and more complicated, and the heads of various places must simultaneously
Since taking control of the military and political power, I have been able to respond as quickly as possible when monsters attack. Otherwise, if we rely on the previous set of mutual checks and balances, and every decision needs to be discussed for a long time, I am afraid that we will not have time to make a decision even when the monsters break through the city. In this case
Under this special condition, the post of Jiedushi, which had become a virtual title in the Song Dynasty due to too much power, was given special responsibilities again. Each Jiedushi can govern the military and political power of the city and its affiliated towns.
When necessary, it can also open granaries and reduce some taxes as appropriate to deal with complex situations.
This kind of power has far exceeded the level of a feudal official and is equivalent to a prince. The imperial court delegated power in this way. If it were placed in the previous dynasty, it would greatly increase the ambitions of the Jieduzhi and lay the seeds of disaster; but now there are evil disasters outside that are affecting the entire human race.
The threat of race includes the supervision of the imperial army and royal offerings, coupled with the national righteousness and the huge reputation of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding ancestor of the country, any Jiedushi envoy is cautious and conscientious and does not dare to have a rebellious mentality. If there is any change, I am afraid that the elusive imperial court will
The secret camps and worshipers will come to the door as soon as possible to take their lives. Besides, now is a special period when humans are fighting against demons. No one wants to bear an eternal infamy that undermines the overall situation of fighting against demons.
Yongxin and Itoi were the nominal patrol commanders of Yangzhou respectively. Although they sometimes acted on their own initiative, whenever they discovered anything during their patrols, they would report it to the Jiedushi. This does not mean that they were afraid of the imperial court or the Jiedushi.
The official authority is responsible for the tens of millions of people in Yangzhou.
In the mainstream concept of cultivators, they never rely on the hope of improving their strength with the help of outsiders. Most of them focus on connecting one's own mind to the heavenly mind, practicing the Tao heart to be transparent, and not being moved by external things to achieve Taoism; even those who advocate
Sects that practice "outer elixir method" and practice by swallowing elixirs also spend all their energy collecting materials, refining elixirs, and do not dare to neglect this process as a way of practice. Therefore, influenced by this concept, although the Yin and Yang Sect is in
In the early days, it was just a human sect founded by Yun Canghai, with Japanese and mixed-race people as the main body. Due to "people who are not from our race, their hearts must be different" and the memory of later generations, the fundamental method of establishing the sect passed down by him was not very clever and even a little bit...
However, Yin Yang also advocates tapping one's own potential and promoting personal cultivation, which means burning life in exchange for strength. However, he still leaves a little room. Although the Yin Yang Sect's exercises are superficial, they are complete and orthodox compared to those of the small sects in China.
The foundation building technique is not bad either. If you are talented enough, you can still achieve great results.
However, Yun Canghai still underestimated human beings' desire for power. For ordinary people, whether they are Japanese or Han people, they are lucky enough to come into contact with the training methods that are usually only legendary and can cast spells even if they cause some damage to the body.
What does it mean to have the pleasure and temptation of having power? Especially for the Japanese, who have been secretly influenced by the local demonic energy for many years and have serious self-destructive and fanatical tendencies in their instinctive nature. Only the strong are worthy of respect.
And as long as you can become a strong person, even your health and lifespan are worth it!
And the reason why humans can become the protagonists in the world is precisely because the human race has unlimited potential and can turn decay into magic. Although the early Japanese sacrificed a lot of life in order to practice onmyoji, most of them did not live past sixty, but this does not mean
It means that they are fools and do not know the shortcomings of their own skills and do not want to change. Especially in the later period, with the influx of Chinese immigrants into Japan, a large number of Han Chinese and Chinese-Japanese hybrids joined the Onmyoji and abandoned the pure-blooded Japan.
Most of the Onmyoji died of old age, so Yun Canghai's attitude towards the Onmyoji inevitably changed. After all, most of the members were Han Chinese or had Han blood. They could no longer be regarded as potential threats.
So he no longer secretly suppressed the development of the Yin Yang Sect, but chose to only secretly grasp the general direction and let the rest go. Especially in the later period, with the promotion of him and Jianzhen, Japan successfully merged into the Shenzhou Dynasty and became the Tang Dynasty.
The people under the jurisdiction of a province have basically all been transformed into Chinese-Japanese hybrids and Han Chinese. He has finally opened up the restrictions on the development of Yin Yang Sect. He has begun to preach and teach his experience in the sect from time to time, and strongly supports the development of existing exercises and spells within the sect.
Innovation and improvement are the reasons why the development of Yin Yang Religion finally got on the right track and gradually developed a cultivation system with its own characteristics.
Although practicing onmyoji can cause harm to the body and the lifespan of a practitioner is often less than a hundred years old, it is precisely under the pressure of a life span of less than a hundred years that all onmyoji masters practice hard and fight in an attempt to create unlimited happiness in a limited life.
Maybe, they know that their life span is limited, so they want to make their own contribution so that their honor will remain in the world and become immortal even after death. It is the wide spread of this idea that provides the basis for the development of Yin Yang Sect.
Strong internal motivation.
With the acquiescence of the supreme leader Yun Canghai, for hundreds of years, countless Onmyoji masters have continuously developed new techniques, exercises, weapon refining methods, and strange secret techniques.
Regardless of whether they are good or bad, he will collect and summarize them all and instruct his subordinates to engrave the names of those who came into contact with them and the techniques they developed on the honorary monument in front of the Onmyoji Temple in Kyoto so that they can be honored. In addition to these spiritual rewards, there are also
Material rewards such as elixirs, magic weapons, important positions, expert guidance, huge wealth, etc. Yun Canghai, who knows the importance of talents, will never be stingy in this regard, but will strongly encourage these talents in order to inspire others through this method.
.
The effect of this incentive is obvious.
Many people saw that the religion was so generous to talents, which naturally aroused their enthusiasm a hundred times. The world has never lacked talents, it just lacked methods to discover talents. Over the hundreds of years, the Yin-Yang Sect has become more and more popular due to the innovation and improvement of countless Yin-Yang believers.
The internal training techniques and related techniques and secret techniques have been greatly improved compared to the past. From a superficial technique back then, to today, although it is not very profound, it is extremely practical, easy to understand, easy to learn, unique and has a bright future.
It can be said that the medium-level skills, which are not low, contain the efforts of countless talents. This does not include those weird and mysterious secret methods and the various systematic professions derived from them. Together, they can support a group that is comparable to large sects.
Comparable shelf.
Of course, this refers to the comprehensive strength of the Yin Yang Sect. Although it has a history of hundreds of years, the founder of the sect is only an immortal. Compared with those large and top sects that have been passed down for tens of millions of years and even originated from ancient immortals and great supernatural powers.
In terms of foundation, it is still far behind. Of course, the Yin Yang Sect also has its own advantages compared to those sects, that is, it is still energetic and has sufficient resources.
Although those sects with a long history and powerful strength are very strong externally, most of them are internally filled with factions due to their long history and dogma. The atmosphere has long been rotten and smelly and they cannot exert their due strength. On the other hand, although the Yin Yang Sect has a history of sects,
It is short but develops extremely quickly under the correct leadership and direction. Compared with those big sects, it has a huge advantage in terms of innovation in exercises:
Talents in the Yin and Yang religion. With their own innovations, they transformed the original basic health-preserving exercises, which only have the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life, into cultivation exercises that can wash menstruation, cut hair, and be reborn for a long time; they have successfully transformed the Yin-Yang teaching into
The average lifespan of an Onmyoji has increased from sixty to one hundred and fifty years! Those who are talented and accomplished in cultivation can even live hundreds of years longer.
After arriving in Haizhou, Yun Canghai personally established only the two major systems of Onmyoji and Exorcist. After the development and improvement of later generations, Onmyoji has added three major branch professional systems: Priest, Priest, and Battle Mage; Exorcist
It has also developed into four major professional systems: psychics, ghosts and gods, demon slayers, and demon-conquering warriors. The Onmyoji, established with Onmyoji as the main body, also supports the three major martial arts professions of ninja, samurai, and martial arts. Because it wants to
To achieve success in practicing magic, you must have a certain level of talent, and such people are not everywhere. They are almost one in a hundred and do not require much talent. The three major professions of ninja, samurai, and martial artist are prepared for those who cannot practice magic.
of.
From low to high, from simple to complex, various professional combinations are perfect. In the magic disaster, a mage whose average strength is only the Qi training period, but has attack output mage, close combat warrior, healing and assisting priest and other professional combinations are reasonable.
The record created by the team is no worse than that of a single cultivator in the foundation-building period. And cultivating a cultivator in the foundation-building period is far more difficult than cultivating fifty cultivators in the Qi-training period! It is precisely because of the strength of the Yin-Yang Sect that it has become a powerful force in fighting against demons.
The powerful force of disasters is recognized by all walks of life in China.
Of course, the gods believed by the priests and priests in the Yin Yang Sect are naturally the deity and his god Quetzalcoatl. As for those teachings, they are all listed in the memory of Quetzalcoatl according to the inheritance and have been adopted by the deity from the teachings of various schools in the memory.
The high-level leaders of the Essence Yin Yang Sect have compiled and added to it. After hundreds of years of historical testing and continuous revision, it has been perfected. At least it can be self-explanatory and will allow even those who know these teachings for the first time to have a certain degree of recognition. They can even recite them for a long time.
The teachings of Yin Yang Sect and following its instructions can prolong life and have a certain chance of awakening as priests and priests. This is similar to those in Buddhism where believers who chant "Amitabha" all the year round can be reborn in the Paradise of Paradise after death.
This is already amazing.
Therefore, it makes sense for Itoi to say that you should absorb the essence from the teachings to make up for your own shortcomings.
Not to mention the situation of Yongxin and Itoi, a special gathering is taking place in a deep and dense primitive jungle thousands of miles away from Yangzhou City.
The trees and plants in the primeval forest are all growing like crazy and most of them have mutated. The dense weeds have roots as tall as a person and are as hard as wood and have jagged edges; the thick banyan tree canopy is as wide as one kilometer, and the surrounding trees cannot
Grow tall; the trunk of the huge locust tree is dark, exuding waves of black energy that are visible to the naked eye. The surface of the trunk has formed a face with eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but it is sunken inward like a skeleton, and it emits ghostly cries from time to time.
The sound of the ground; the thick vines with ordinary human thighs and spikes on the surface are wrapped around the roots of the trees and penetrate into the roots of the ground. The tips are hanging between the branches of the trees, like a poisonous snake that immediately moves with lightning once it detects a living thing passing by.
It entangles the prey and strangles it, sucks the blood, and then opens a large mouth at the tip to swallow the prey and turn it into nourishment.
There are countless such mutated plants, and even the animals in the primeval forest have mutated: rabbits with canine teeth, two-headed wild wolves, owls up to three meters high, foxes that can breathe fire, tigers with black bodies, and black panthers with wings~
~~~~~And so on, and so on, plus all kinds of strange and indescribable demonic animals and plants that have traveled through space, walking back and forth in the huge primeval forest, like a hodgepodge, and matching the huge tree trunks growing up high.
The tree crowns block the sunlight, and the dark space in the forest makes the place look like a demonic world.
But no matter how unbridled these animals and plants are, whether they are demonized or native to the demon world, they dare not approach the open space with a radius of less than ten miles in the center of the forest.
Yes, there is an open space less than ten miles in radius in this huge virgin forest. There are no trees taller than a person here, even the weeds have maintained their normal appearance, and the air is not that kind of dim. Except for the absence of small animals, it is completely different from the rest of the world.
The place that is not polluted by demonic energy is almost the same; of course, if you look down from the sky, this space is still covered by a dense forest. That is the effect of the phantom array.
At this time, there are twelve creatures sitting in the clearing in the forest. Yes, they can only be described as "creatures" because not only are they large or small, but their members are also human and animal. The big one is a black creature that is ten meters high.
The two-headed giant ape sat there like a hill, exuding a bloody and terrifying aura; the smaller one was one meter tall, with a graceful figure, wearing a simple and exotic gauze skirt, and looked no more than fifteen or sixteen.
A year-old goblin. She held a mithril staff in her hand, with a sweet smile on her lips. She sat curled up with her legs on the ground and looked at the creatures around her with a smile. Even though she looked cute, she exuded radiance all over her body.
With an aura of charm and trance that coexisted, a vaguely divine and magical figure was vaguely formed behind her.
As for other creatures, they are not easy to mess with either from their faces or their auras.
