Chapter 356 The difference between aristocratic families and sects
Who is Nangong Ba? These bull-nosed Taoist priests know it better than anyone else. Putting aside the personal relationship between Nangong Ba and their uncle, the rumors in the circle some time ago have already made them aware of it.
Can be detailed.
Heavenly monk!
In the minds of this group of people, Tianjie is a legend, a dream, a goal that they will strive for throughout their lives and a mountain to climb!
Over the years, with the prosperity of scientific and technological civilization, human pollution and destruction have become more and more intense. Today's world has long lost the beauty and outstanding people it once deserved.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, and the environment has become increasingly unsuitable for the survival and inheritance of practitioners. For many years, I have not heard of anyone who can successfully break through to the heaven level!
Over time, some practitioners have also raised doubts in their hearts. Does the legendary heaven level still exist?
Nangong Ba's breakthrough to the heaven level undoubtedly injected a bit of vitality into the lifeless ancient martial arts world, set a benchmark, and created a miracle!
Let everyone understand that the heavenly steps exist and are not unreachable. Although the general environment is the biggest obstacle to the inheritance of martial arts, as long as you persevere and work unremittingly, your dream will be realized sooner or later!
Although Nangong Ba's breakthrough process was full of twists and turns, he succeeded in the end, right? At this time, people often only care about the results, not the process!
Because, this is enough, right?
And the distinguished guest they invited today is also the legendary classmate Xia Haoran. In the hearts of some core people in the circle, he is a god-like existence!
They are all cultivators, and they naturally know some basic common sense in the circle. During the cultivation process, monks may become obsessed due to some unexpected situations, which cannot be solved with today's medical methods.
It is said that to untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. If a cultivator goes crazy, it must be solved by a cultivator. Moreover, the rescuer's cultivation level must not be lower than that of the person who goes crazy. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope.
However, what happened to Nangong Ba is worth recalling. The mysterious master came to the rescue, not only brought order to the chaos, completely cured his obsession, but also helped him break through to the heaven level on the spot!
What kind of cultivation and means does this require?
With Nangong Ba's help, the mysterious master agreed to come to the rescue. But the price was not small! And the other party's request was to go to the Qingcheng Sect's treasure house that had been accumulated and passed down for hundreds of years to have a look.
Fortunately, the other party is only interested in those medicinal materials and precious ores.
Although they felt very sad in their hearts, they thought about it again. No matter how good the medicinal materials and ores are, they are all dead after all. If their ancestor Qingmu Taoist Priest can fully recover and use this to break through to the heaven level, what will happen to their entire Qingcheng?
As far as pie is concerned, the value is immeasurable!
Now, this mysterious senior master has come to the Qingcheng Sect. Can old men like them not be excited and excited? Firstly, they can see the true appearance of the senior master, and secondly, of course, they hope to witness the birth of a miracle.
This is what they hope for most!
A group of people came together, and when they saw Xia Hao next to Nangong Ba, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
What a young and handsome young man!
As soon as they came in, dozens of eyes like searchlights were all focused on Xia Haoran.
But then, they were all shocked and shocked!
The other party's calm and indifferent eyes were as deep and vast as the boundless sea. After their eyes looked in, they seemed to see the vast starry sky and the endless universe!
Xia Haoran was still drinking tea lightly, glancing at a few people casually, with no intention of standing up. Most of these people were old men with gray beards and hair, but they were all full of energy and energetic.
All of them possess considerable strength and cultivation.
"Ahem..."
Nangong Ba next to him saw this and deliberately coughed, bringing everyone in a daze back to reality.
"Juniors, I would like to pay my respects to Senior Nangong and Senior Xia. I would like to ask these two seniors to atone for the rudeness just now!" Several people quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the end. What they performed was the most formal Taoist head-offering ceremony.
.
Nangong Ba waved his hand, then looked at Xia Haoran, and found that the other person still looked calm and relaxed. He couldn't help feeling relieved. But at the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart: "These damn old bastards, they are okay.
Xiaoyou Xia doesn’t care. Otherwise, if you are so rude, wouldn’t it ruin a big thing? It’s really not enough to succeed, but more than enough to fail!”
"Xia Xiaoyou, do you think we should rest for a while? Or?" Nangong Ba asked tentatively.
"Now." Xia Haoran stood up and said calmly: "It is a matter of loyalty to others. Solve it as soon as possible, and the patient can escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible."
"Yes! Thank you so much, little friend Xia." Nangong Ba stood up and said to the group of Taoist priests: "You guys, I guess you already know the purpose of our visit. Now take us to Lao Qingmu's place.
At the same time, tell the kitchen to get us something delicious."
"Yes! Thank you, senior, for your help. I'll make arrangements right away." Among the group of people, the old man at the head respectfully raised his hands in front of Xia Haoran and saluted, and then said respectfully: "Two
Senior, please come this way!"
On the way, Xia Haoran learned that the old man leading the group was called Qingyun, and he was also the current headmaster of the Qingcheng Sect. This old guy was currently in the late Earth level, and he was the highest cultivation level in the Qingcheng Sect except for Taoist Master Qingmu.
Yes.
Xia Haoran secretly thought in his heart that the Nangong family was among the best among the secular families. However, compared with the Qingcheng sect now, the gap was not small!
This is the foundation of the sect!
From the ancestors with the highest seniority, to the older generation, the Mesozoic generation, and the new generation, it is very layered, and in each generation, there are iconic leaders and successors.
This is something that aristocratic cultivating families and sects cannot compare with!
The biggest difference between the Guwu family and the sect is that most of the cultivators in the family are related by blood, and their relationship is closer than that of the disciples of the sect.
Usually, among the ancient martial arts families, there must be an ancestor who made a fortune, and the rest are the direct descendants of this ancestor. Therefore, his status is higher than that of the heads of those sects, and he has absolute
The right to speak. Because the family can only stand on this ancestor.
Then the problem comes.
No matter how big a family is, how many children can it have? And among these children, how many have the qualifications to practice? There are too few. Not only one in a million, but even one in a hundred, there are only a few who have the qualifications to practice.
seedling.
Having no successors is a big problem that all aristocratic families cannot solve, and it is also an important factor that directly restricts their development and growth. Even if you are lucky, there will be several disciples with cultivation qualifications in each generation, but due to the difficulty of cultivation, unless you are
Those geniuses who are seen once in a century, otherwise, they would never be able to reach the level of their ancestors.
Moreover, in the future inheritance, each generation must have an elder with the highest seniority and highest cultivation level to guard. Otherwise, the entire family will soon decline, or be destroyed and disappear in the long river of history.
.
This is also the reason why those cultivating families cannot prosper for a long time. There is a saying that is right, there are only sects that have been passed down for ten thousand years, but there are no aristocratic families that have been passed down for ten thousand years!
But sects are different.
Although it is not popular these days to open a sect and recruit disciples, when the disciples in the sect grow to a certain stage, the sect has a non-mandatory requirement, that is, to go down the mountain to find a suitable successor or disciple for them.
This allows the sect’s incense to be passed down.
Think about it, who doesn't want his disciple to be better than others and stand out? Who is willing to go through all the hard work, only to find a loser in the end? If the disciple is embarrassed, his own face will be ruined, right?
It is this inheritance model that is not competition but is better than competition, which enables the sect to maintain high-quality successors at every step and in any era.
The Qingcheng Sect in front of us perfectly explains this point.
…
Finally, the group of people came to a small wooden house located in the deepest part of the Taoist temple.
When he saw the two people walking in from the door, the unfortunate guy lying on the bed moved his mouth, took a deep breath, and after accumulating a lot of strength, he said: "Senior Xia, fellow Taoist Nangong, I am the old Taoist.
You can't stand up and be rude, please ask Senior Xia and fellow Taoist Nangong to atone for their sins!"
Xia Haoran nodded slightly and glanced at the latter, the situation was clear at a glance. This situation was exactly the same as that of Old Man Nangong, and everything was as he expected.
Nangong Ba came to the bed in one stride, holding Old Man Qingmu's hand, with a sad face: "Old Qingmu, alas, I didn't expect that you would also follow in my footsteps..."
"Time is also destiny. Fellow Taoist Nangong, I am just like you. I am now over seventy years old. If I don't give it a try, tell me, how many years can I survive?"
Xia Haoran was too lazy to pay attention to their conversation. He glanced around everyone's faces, and then said lightly: "Qingmu, right? Your situation is exactly the same as that of Mr. Nangong. I already understand everything. Tell me.
, how far do you hope to recover?”
"Senior, what do you mean?"
"Since I'm here, I must be 100% sure. If I promise to rescue you, I will naturally ensure that you can recover to the level before you went crazy. But," at this point, Xia Haoran stopped,
He glanced at him thoughtfully.
Everyone present is a smart person. How could they not understand the meaning of Xia Haoran's words?
Taoist Master Aoki went crazy, and Xia Haoran, as a doctor, came to the rescue. Under normal circumstances, restoring the other party to the state before he went crazy was considered to be the end of his benevolence. He had no obligation or responsibility to help the other party break through for free.
The realm of heaven.
This is not Xia Haoran taking advantage of others' danger and raising prices, he is just stating a fact.
