Chapter 400: The capital that ascetics avoid.
After communicating with Taoist priest Qingpao Niujiao, Lu Xingshi also learned about the origin of the other party.
The other party is a Taoist from Longshan. He is a disciple of Immortal Qing Yao from Tianting, a one-horned Si, who became an immortal. He is also a disciple of Qing Yao Immortal.
Dujiao Si is not the mount of Qingyao Immortal Lord, but a disciple of Zhenger Ba Jing.
The immortals and gods in heaven and earth do not look at birth and qualifications when recruiting disciples, but mostly based on their character and character.
If you want to be in the Immortal Class, merit is essential.
Therefore, Longshan Taoist belongs to the third generation of immortals, which is why he is so rich.
Of course, he is not a waste, but has real qualities. If he does not meet the requirements of his master Dujiao Si, he will not be able to get what he wants.
"Fellow Taoist Longshan, I wonder if you know anything about the capital?" Lu Xingshi asked.
If he happened to meet a major repairman like this, he would definitely grab him and drag him to death.
In fact, the Longshan Taoist wanted to leave. The death of his heir had been confirmed, and there was no complete body, so he must go back to arrange the funeral.
It was not only for revenge, but also to retrieve the body. Since there was no complete body, it would be a good idea to set up a tomb.
As a result, Lu Xingshi chatted with him nonstop, and he was too embarrassed to refuse.
"I have never been to the capital, but it is better not to go to the capital during this period. It will not be too late to go when the new emperor ascends the throne."
"I once heard that the struggle for the position of the Nine Sons has reached the point of real swords and guns, and has even affected many comrades."
"A careless mistake can lead to death, and may lead to the teacher's sect being implicated." Longshan Taoist gave Lu Xingshi a suggestion.
"What about merit? How much merit can be gained from it?" Lu Xingshi didn't care about the danger. Most ascetics had masters, uncles, and disciples.
Unlike Lu Xingshi, who is alone and has no weaknesses, if the other party really dares to take advantage of him, don't blame him for being cruel.
He only cares about how much merit he can get.
Longshan Taoist was a little surprised when he heard Lu Xingshi's words.
"Fellow Taoist, you are obsessed with merits. If you insist on merits, if you want to achieve perfect Taoism in this life, it will be very difficult." Taoist Taoist Longshan also had some guesses about Lu Xingshi's eagerness for merits.
Either Lu Xingshi wanted to transform his spiritual roots into the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, or his spiritual roots were themselves spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and he wanted to use merit to water the spiritual roots of heaven and earth to bear the fruit of the Tao.
Otherwise, the attitude of most ascetics toward merit is to take things as they come, rather than deliberately pursuing them.
Although it is true that merit can lead to magical powers, which is very coveted, but you may not be able to obtain magical powers even if you obtain merit hundreds of times. It still depends on your own cultivation, Taoism, and Taoist fate.
It means that not only must it be strong, but it must also be the European Emperor, otherwise it will not be possible to get it.
"I think fellow Taoist, you are only in your twenties now. How can you be so anxious? You should calm down and meditate. That is the right path." Longshan Taoist admonished.
They want to make up for their own shortcomings, and they also want merit. They are eager and greedy. If they are not stopped, they will inevitably go astray one day.
Lu Xingshi didn't care at all what the other party thought.
He still knows a lot about himself. In any case, he has trained such a big figure as the Great Chi De Emperor. Although the new figure is very different from the previous world, for him, the experience is still very useful.
It's just a matter of getting lucky first and then flying bricks with great strength.
"The lesson is that I was indeed a little anxious." Lu Xingshi did not deny that he was anxious, mainly because it was different from his previous experience.
In the world of martial arts, he is already invincible at this time. If he is invincible in this world, he is also invincible.
However, now, he actually still has rivals in the human world. There must be a lot of great cultivators in the human world, such as Taoist Longshan, who are like dragons but never come to an end. There must be at least two digits.
This is equivalent to Lu Xingshi not only being unable to defeat the immortals, but also having double-digit enemies that he cannot defeat.
The immortals can ignore it for the time being, thinking that the ancestor of the cave in the early stage is isolated and unable to come down, but this kind of major cultivation is not possible, and he and he are both in the human world.
Even if this group of major cultivators couldn't even hold back the Jade Emperor's phantom of the Great Chi De Celestial Emperor, that was just a matter of borrowing strength.
It is indeed my own strength to borrow, but it is a meaningless expenditure. Isn't it a huge loss?
Moreover, just the Jade Emperor's phantom consumed 100 million of his gold coins. If he added the Divine Weapon World, the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map, etc., the consumption would be estimated to be more than a hundred times higher.
The cost is all on transportation.
"Over there in the capital, the fight now is a mess, a mixture of fish and dragons. Not only are evil ways and demons causing trouble, but there are also many powerful officials and profiteers who want to take advantage of the situation."
"If ordinary people get involved, fellow Taoists can only imagine what will happen to them."
"It's just that I heard something before, that the frequent appearance of monsters may be related to the crown prince." Longshan Taoist said directly.
"Wait a minute, with the crown prince here, how can we still fight for the throne? Why don't we just ascend the throne directly." Lu Xingshi found a blind spot. "It would be fine if that were the case. It's just that the death of the late emperor was strange. It is suspected that the prince and crown prince committed regicide and his father. In addition, there are people behind the scenes who are adding fuel to the fire. To this day, he has not successfully ascended the throne." Longshan Taoist said.
Lu Xingshi also understood why. It was simply that the crown prince was not powerful enough to suppress the court, while the other eight princes were powerful and could even suppress the crown prince.
As the crown prince and crown prince, not only could he not ascend the throne, but there were also rumors that he would kill the king, his father, or even be the culprit of the evildoer who brought disaster to the country. It was simply absurd and bizarre.
"Then according to what fellow Taoists see, among the current crown prince and the other eight princes, who can hope to ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan?" Lu Xingshi made some insinuations.
The Longshan Taoist was very cautious and had no intention of getting involved at all, so he said bluntly: "I have never been to the capital in recent times and I don't know anything about it."
Even if you have an idea, you can't say it out loud.
They can only choose neutrality. As long as they are involved, there is no such thing as escaping unharmed. They can only succeed or fail.
The Taoism has the ancestors of heaven and earth and will not be cut off. However, if the Taoists involved fail, they will definitely die.
As long as you don't be greedy, there will be no disaster.
"I'm a little tired today. When my fellow Taoist comes to Longshan in the future, he will definitely entertain me well."
"I'll take my leave first and go back to buy a tomb for my child." Longshan Taoist heard that the topics Lu Xingshi was talking to him were getting more and more inappropriate, so he opened his mouth and prepared to run away.
If we continue chatting, who knows if we will get involved.
He still has a family with him, so he will definitely not choose to step into this big pit. This pit is not an ordinary pit, but a big fire pit.
The Longshan Taoist said so, so Lu Xingshi couldn't continue to pluck wool and asked him to leave.
You can't just leave people here, that would be presumptuous.
However, judging from the attitude of the Longshan Taoist, there is indeed a lot of merit in this capital, but it is not a good thing to get involved in it, and it is easy to die suddenly, so most ascetics avoid it.
As for the evil ways and demons and ghosts in the capital, who can blame them? They are the result of their own evil deeds. The ascetics are kind-hearted, but they are not taken advantage of.
You make a mess and then let them take over? He also expressed in a high-sounding way that this was for the sake of all people in the world.
How could the ascetics indulge you? Moral kidnapping cannot hold them down.
The disaster was caused by you yourself knowing the consequences, and the price was paid by all the people in the world. The benefits are yours alone, but it takes the ascetics to deal with the consequences. If it were not for the stability of the dynasty, these people would have been killed long ago.
Lu Xingshi has to scold you, you deserve to be in the evil world of the five turbidities.
From the disgust in the Longshan Taoist's words, we can know that the struggle for imperial city hegemony is probably the cause of the rapid erosion of Zhao. Even if it is caused by the evil world of five turbidities, we can't blame everything on the evil world of five turbidities. People's hearts are not enough. Swallow the elephant.
There was already a prince and heir apparent, and his ambition caused trouble. However, this prince and heir apparent was not a bad person. Being stuck before he ascended the throne meant that he had problems of his own.
If there are no problems, no matter how much the remaining people criticize, they won't be able to shake the slightest bit.
It can only be said that each has its own shortcomings, and they are not all the same.
"Sure enough, you have to find such a big shot to gather information." Lu Xingshi muttered, Qingxia Tianshi and Jinxuan Tianshi were more like village cadres, what could they know.
Taoist Longshan is not a Heavenly Master, but he has a high status. He is like a retired cadre. Even if he is not in the court, he can still have various information channels and obtain information far beyond that of ordinary people.
Yunze Longjun should also be at this level, but compared to the semi-seclusion of Longshan Taoist, the other party should know more, and may even take the initiative to get involved in this imperial city hegemony.
Of course, it is also possible that it is not Yunze Longjun, but his dragon son and grandson.
But no matter which one it is, it's actually the same.
Dragon Son and Dragon Sun are in the game and can drag him down.
"Evil ways breed and demons and monsters cause trouble. As expected of the capital city, the way of life is different from that in the countryside." When Lu Xingshi thought of this, he became happy.
Under normal circumstances, how could there be so many troubles at the feet of the emperor? When encountering special events such as fighting for the throne, the order would be even stricter. Wherever there would be more chaos, it couldn't be just to lure the wolf into the house for help.
At first, Lu Xingshi didn't understand why.
Then when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible. It was a capital city. Although it was prosperous on the surface, it was secretly made of countless corpses. It was just like a magical city. People's hearts were incredibly chaotic. It's a common thing.
It is estimated that evil spirits, demons and ghosts can also become pawns and knives in the hands of the powerful in the capital to fight for power and profit. Loyalty does not matter, as long as it can complete the tasks assigned and take the blame.
When Lu Xingshi came to the world of Xianxia, the ascetics he came into contact with were all the type who accumulated merit and practiced hard in Taoism. Their principles made sense, their actions were decent, and they were kind and persistent.
But it doesn't mean that the whole world's people have this kind of character. What he comes into contact with is a rare part, not the majority.
