Chapter 614: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Zhang Hao turned to look at Murong Shan, whose eyes were a little dodgey.
Zhang Hao said softly: "We have to keep a low profile, do you understand? Of course the Mingjiao must teach you a lesson, but we just need to know some of our trump cards ourselves. Don't bring them out until the decisive battle of life and death."
Murong Shan immediately gave a look of admiration: Sure enough, you are the thickest one.
After a while, the figure in front approached. The person in front was unknown to Zhang Hao. He was middle-aged, with a majestic appearance, and his temples were gray. Hua Baixiang and Zhai Feihong, whom Zhang Hao knew, were on both sides.
Zhang Hao immediately understood: This is the headmaster of the Tiandu Sect!
It seems that his actions have earned him respect.
Zhang Hao took a step forward, but he was still inside the flying boat, protected by the surrounding gods.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, and Zhang Hao will not put himself in danger. Now that there are millions of people behind him, Zhang Hao will not take risks casually.
Stepping forward and standing still, Zhang Hao laughed: "Senior must be the headmaster of the Tiandu sect, right?"
Li Changfeng also burst out laughing: "Mr. Zhang, we have met. Ever since our first transaction eight years ago, I have wanted to meet and talk with Mr. Zhang. I don't want to waste time and it has already been eight years."
"That's why I came to bother you today."
"Where is it? It's not too late to welcome you. Please."
Zhang Hao pointed to the more than two hundred flying boats behind him and the thousands of gods on them, "I wonder if these people can easily enter Tiandu Mountain?"
"We have set up temporary accommodation at the foot of the mountain, let Feihong take everyone there."
Zhai Feihong immediately stepped forward and extended the invitation.
Murong Shan bid farewell to Zhang Hao and left first with his team and Feizhou. On Zhang Hao's side, he only brought Fu Yun, Li Wei and more than a dozen people with him to follow Li Changfeng and fly to Tiandu Peak.
Flying slowly all the way, Li Changfeng proudly introduced the history of the Tiandu Sect. The Tiandu Sect has a history of more than 40,000 years. Although it is not as long as the Xuanming Sect and others, it is not trivial.
According to the legend of the Tiandu Sect, their founding ancestor rode a fire dragon and his grandmother rode a Qingluan, and the two met on the Qingsha River.
This beautiful legend has caused many young people in the Tiandu sect to imitate it. There is no fire dragon, but there are magic. There is no Qingluan, but there can be monsters and other beasts.
Li Changfeng chatted and laughed happily, talking about the history and interests of the Tiandu sect. Zhang Hao had a relatively comprehensive understanding of these ancient sects for the first time.
It turns out that for a holy land like the Tiandu Sect that has been passed down for a long time, it is very common for it to be divided; as long as it can be reunited in the end, the inheritance can be guaranteed to continue.
In fact, the current split, that is, the split between the Red Lotus Sect and the Holy Fire Sect, can only be regarded as moderate in the history of Tiandu Mountain.
In the most serious case, some people even took one-third of their territory and defected directly to the Wusheng Tianluo Sect in the south. As a result, the most serious conflict in the history of Tuotu Continent broke out, and many surrounding holy places were involved. In the end
The Wusheng Tianluo Sect was defeated, but the Tiandu Sect was also severely damaged, and it took a thousand years for the Tianluo Sect to regain its breath.
Seeing Tiandu Mountain, Li Changfeng stopped talking, "However, even though conflicts were fierce in history, the changes were far less than they are today."
Zhang Hao was already looking up at the Tiandu Mountain in front of him. As he got closer, he could already see the snow line, and he could also see the continuous falling of fine ice and snow on the snow line. It was already midsummer, and the Tiandu faction was attacking Tiandu Peak.
Repairs were made, causing some ice and snow to collapse.
However, Zhang Hao asked a question, why are the holy places like Xuanzhen Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, etc. closed and protected, while Tiandu Mountain is directly exposed.
"That kind of barrier has some natural foundation, and most of it was built artificially in the later period. It takes hundreds of years to build such a holy land. It requires considerable knowledge and foundation of formations, and it also consumes a huge amount of energy.
resource.
If there is interference or difficulties during the construction process, it is normal for it to drag on for thousands of years.
The environment of the righteous path is relatively stable, and they have enough conditions to build. But the demonic path does not have this condition. And compared to building defense, we are more inclined to attack.
On the demonic side, if a holy place loses the courage to attack, it is not far from destruction.
Tens of thousands of years ago, there were no fewer than thirty holy places, large and small, on this land. Now, only a few of us are left."
Zhang Hao nodded slowly. After all, the historical heritage of Dayang Group cannot compare with these ancient existences. These ancient holy places, just say anything, are enough for Dayang Group to learn from.
Zhang Hao never rests on his laurels or looks down on others. If he wants to make progress, he needs to be open to all rivers.
Because there was a master who led the way, Zhang Hao flew directly to the mountain gate.
The Tiandu Sect's mountain gate is very grand, with two pillars carved from obsidian, almost one foot in diameter and more than ten feet high. One side is embossed with a swimming dragon, and the other side is embossed with a luan bird. It seems to symbolize the legend of the sect.
There is a similarly black lintel above it, with the three characters "Tiandu Sect" written on it in an ancient script dating from more than 40,000 years ago.
The entire mountain gate is completely black. The beautifully polished and carved obsidian gate is majestic and domineering, and the atmosphere of history blows in your face.
This is different from the Xuanzhen Religion. The Xuanzhen Religion does not have a mountain gate, only a barrier to protect it. This is the first time Zhang Hao has seen the mountain gate of an ancient holy land.
After passing the mountain gate, you can't fly. Generally speaking, whether it is a holy land or an ordinary sect, there is this rule. However, just because you can't fly doesn't mean you can't use tricks. When a distinguished guest comes, you can't let them walk up the mountain step by step.
Level.
Therefore, after passing the mountain gate, walk a short distance to the side and you will see a pavilion with a sign of "Welcome Pavilion"; after passing the pavilion, you will find a beautiful scenery.
Li Changfeng took Zhang Hao and said, "This is the 'Yingxian Cliff', which is the most beautiful place in the entire Tiandu Mountain."
Zhang Hao looked around and saw that there was a towering stone forest here. The tallest ones were thirty to fifty meters tall, and the short ones were already covered by trees. There were shrubs swaying in the wind above some of the stone forests. There was a cliff above the hillside, and there was melted ice and snow on the cliff.
A beautiful waterfall was formed.
Flocks of colorful birds circled among the cliffs.
The mist and thick spiritual energy intertwine here to form a hazy fairyland.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and felt refreshed. He couldn't help but admire: "What a beautiful place!"
Li Changfeng took Zhang Hao and flew upwards, over the cliff, and arrived inside the Tiandu Sect. An undulating, simple and magnificent building appeared in front of Zhang Hao.
The buildings are mainly made of mountain stone and blue bricks, supplemented by bamboo buildings, and occasionally decorated with red buildings. The buildings extend from halfway up the mountain to above the snow line, until they reach the hazy mountain top, disappearing in the mist.
Li Changfeng took Zhang Hao and continued flying until they arrived above the snow line, the main hall of the Tiandu Sect, the Dutian Palace!
The three characters of Dutian Palace are flying and phoenixes are dancing, combined with the two characters of "Dutian", a domineering and wild force comes to the face.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but admire: "What a Dutian Palace!"
"Haha, what a joke. Please come inside."
Entering the main hall, Zhang Hao still couldn't help but observe. The main hall was simple and plain, even a little shabby. But even in this simplicity, there was something majestic about it.
The decoration here is completely different from the exquisiteness of the Zixia Palace of the Xuanzhen Sect. The Demonic Path naturally has the roughness of the Demonic Path.
Zhang Hao sat down, and Li Changfeng began to introduce Zhang Hao.
"This old man is the great elder of the Tiandu Sect, Master Hongguang. Master Hongguang has been sitting in Tiandu Peak for the past hundred years and is the mainstay of Tiandu Peak. If it weren't for Master Hongguang, I wouldn't know what to do on Tiandu Peak now.
How dilapidated it is. A hundred years will be enough to eclipse all the glory."
Zhang Hao looked at the old man in front of him. He was already very old. Although he was in the stage of becoming a god, he already had age spots on his body. This was a sign that his real life span was about to run out.
This is the first time Zhang Hao has seen such an old person since he came to this world. Although Wu Fanghai was also old before, but after Wu Fanghai reached the God Transformation Stage (Golden Body Realm) with the help of the God Transformation Technology, he no longer aged.
Zhang Hao stepped forward to pay homage and looked at Li Changfeng with the same eyes.
Li Changfeng sighed, "I also gave my uncle the spiritual milk I got from the Immortal Mountain, but my uncle has entered the stage of the five declines of heaven and man. Even the elixirs and elixirs are ineffective. I have tried the rest of the elixirs, but they have no effect.
Now unless we can break through the divine transformation stage..."
Master Hongguang opened his turbid eyes and looked at Zhang Hao. He looked at Zhang Hao for a while and smiled, "I have lived long enough to witness a new era, and I am satisfied. Young people, work hard. Dayang Group, I
I heard that, but I just want to say:
Young people, if they don’t have long-term concerns, they will have immediate worries. Dayang Group is developing too fast, which is not a good phenomenon. Rapid development means poor internal cohesion.
The current Dayang Group can only be said to be a collection of interests, not a collection of ideas.
The Tiandu sect divides and merges, but it is always the Tiandu sect. Because we have a common core.
But the current Dayang Group lacks a core. Your industry and commerce, capitalism, and even "Das Kapital" are all centered around interests, but none of them are centered around ideas.
Without ideas, it is just a piece of loose sand. Once Dayang Group suffers setbacks, it will inevitably fall apart due to interest issues."
Zhang Hao was shocked. For such an old man, Zhang Hao would not underestimate him. Zhang Hao has also discovered this problem for a while. Zhang Hao also tried to build a core, but it was not easy. Of course, Zhang Hao has been working hard.
But today, since a wise man pointed it out, Zhang Hao quickly asked for advice seriously.
"What's the method..." Master Hongguang said slowly, "Looking at the relationship between Dayang Group and Tiandu Sect, I will just say one. The initial origin of all holy places is indispensable for personality worship. Then it is shaped by personality worship.
A spiritual 'perfection'.
This perfection can be personality. For example, the ‘Wusheng Old Mother’ of Wusheng Tianluo Sect.
It can also be a concept. For example, the Mingjiao’s ‘Great Bright Belief’.
It can also be an obsession. For example, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s ‘Heavenly Magic Appearance’.
It can also be a kind of quality. For example, the ‘purity’ pursued by Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect is like taking it easy when the body is burned by raging fire, but a heart of ice illuminates the jade pot!
It can also be a kind of enlightenment, such as what the Xuanming Sect pursues, ‘Yao Yao Ming Ming, the door to the true wonder’.
It can also be a kind of courage. For example, in our Tiandu Mountain, the blazing red lotus creates the heavenly capital! The blazing red lotus can be regarded as the vast world of mortals, and 'Heavenly Capital' can be seen as a supreme pursuit. The 'Heavenly Capital' here, or
It can be understood as the other side.
As for Daluo Sect, the core idea of this sect is a bit arrogant. It wants to embrace all rivers but everything is specious, so I don’t recommend it.
This is the situation of the devil. I don’t understand the situation of your Fertile Land, so I won’t talk nonsense.
In short, all of this only points to people's hearts, not interests.
What Dayang Group lacks now is this thing.
This is not a technology, and it is difficult for me to express it clearly in words. I can only give you examples to let you think and understand for yourself. If Dayang Group wants to last long, it must have such a center.
With a center, others can unite together. Otherwise, the stronger the Dayang Group becomes, the more likely it is to fall apart.
As Dayang Group establishes its branches one by one and business units one by one, Dayang Group is also heading towards splitting."
Zhang Hao was shocked and was stunned for a long time, then he bowed down and said, "Junior, thank you for your guidance, senior."
At this moment, Zhang Hao truly understood what it means to have an old man in a family like a treasure. I am afraid that ordinary people would have difficulty expressing these valuable experiences. Even the disciples in various holy places may not really understand the core of their own sect.
.
And the impact of these words on Zhang Hao is immeasurable. Zhang Hao had some thoughts before, but they were only superficial, and no one could give Zhang Hao any advice.
You can't expect some casual cultivators to guide the future of a huge group like Dayang Group. They themselves have no experience.
At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly understood:
I see!
It turns out that the reason why each holy place has been able to exist for so long is because it has its own, unique and colorful core.
Such a core, even if I am an outsider, even if I just listen to it briefly, I will become curious, let alone the disciples of various holy places who are affected by these thoughts.
Sometimes, although it is said to be prepared for danger in times of peace, even if many people have this intention, they may not be able to consider the danger because they are unable to understand the nature of things, how to think about the future, and how to think about the crisis.
In the past, Zhang Hao had some vague feelings, but he always felt that it was smoke and mirrors. Today, it suddenly became clear!
Yes, this world is different from the world of the past. In the past world, the survival time of a company was only a hundred years, and people's life span was not long.
But this world is completely different. Because of lifespan, a force's development plan must be calculated based on thousands of years. For such a long time, it is necessary to have an absolute core, a core that transcends material interests.
Just like those religions in the world in the past, the success of religion lies in its dominance of the human spiritual world.
Afterwards, Li Changfeng introduced many senior officials of the Tiandu Sect to Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao was completely attracted by the words of Master Hongguang and kept thinking. Of course, Zhang Hao also expressed his sincere greetings to all the senior officials of the Tiandu Sect.
.
Zhang Hao stayed in the main hall until the afternoon, when the Tiandu Sect Ceremony officially began.
