Chapter 652
I learned from the chat that since the mortal realm is prone to disasters, city lords everywhere pay more attention to the reproduction of the population. If you want to be unmarried and childless, then work hard to pursue the path of immortality, improve your cultivation and stay away from the mortal world.
Here, both boys and girls have the opportunity to change their destiny before the age of 16.
Because every two years, disciples from the sect go down the mountain to visit and test the spiritual roots of young people. Some sects only accept two or more spiritual roots, and some also accept three spiritual roots. Small and less famous sects do not even dislike four spiritual roots.
No one wants the Five Spiritual Roots. It consumes too many resources and cannot afford them.
Big sects do not lack resources, but they are not willing to be taken advantage of. Cultivating one five-spiritual root is more laborious than cultivating five geniuses with one single-spiritual root. The five fingers have different lengths, and even if they are cultivated, they may not be omnipotent. There will always be a few that are relatively weak.
Unlike single spiritual roots, although five single spiritual root monks have their own strengths and weaknesses, they are definitely much more reliable than one five spiritual root monks.
To give a more straightforward example, there are two places in the sect that are in urgent need of water spiritual root and fire spiritual root assistance. If there is only one five spiritual root, which side should be supported first? It would be much more convenient if there were five monks with single spiritual roots.
After hearing this, Sang Yue's heart sank slightly.
She had never tested her spiritual roots, but when she heard something not good, she immediately thought it was talking about herself. Since entering Taoism, she has basically achieved some success in the spells she has practiced. She has never deliberately practiced the Five Elements spells, and she doesn't know which one she is better at.
Hopefully this is an illusion, and besides singing, she should have more confidence in other aspects of herself.
"...In short, if every child cannot detect his spiritual root when he is 16 years old, and no sect is willing to accept him, he has to accept his fate and accept the arrangements of his family to get married..."
Three After hearing these words, people felt a little heavy.
It can be seen that the meaning of existence for mortals in the spiritual world is to live and reproduce. Unlike people on Earth, who can choose whether to get married or not, with ease and no burden. There is no need to emphasize other life pressures. Every time and space has its own pressures.
Of course, in the eyes of the three of them, it is a terrible thing to not be able to control your own marriage.
But locally, there is nothing wrong with being arranged to get married after the age of 16. What troubles young people the most is that if the person their elders like is different from what they like, the game is over. This is often the biggest conflict between the two generations.
"Don't think that being chosen by the sect will give you independence," it was rare for a foreigner to chat with him, and the guests at the next table chatted, "In fact, that's not the case..."
According to rumors, Monks who have cultivated to the golden elixir or above can easily be arranged by the sect to do double cultivation. Only in this way can they quickly improve their cultivation and help the sect stabilize its position.
It is not that there is competition between countries or cities, but the competition between sects is more intense and fierce. In the slightest, someone secretly learns the exercises, or in more serious cases, spies sent by the enemy are used to sow discord, and there is no peace within.
What is more serious is that the sect will be destroyed and people will die, and they will never be reincarnated.
It is said that cultivating immortals means changing one's destiny against heaven and fighting against heaven. In fact, this is not the case. In addition to demons and monsters, the monks' opponents also come from the same kind of malicious people. Some people are so cruel and ruthless that even monsters and ghosts feel sorry for themselves.
So, although mortals in the spiritual world envy and yearn for the life of a sect, they can accept their fate calmly if they really can't get in.
The life span of monks is indeed longer than that of ordinary people, but their fate may not be better than that of ordinary people. Regardless of whether it is a sect or a small sect, it is common for people to slaughter their entire family. The law of the jungle preys on the strong.
Sometimes I feel that the short life of mortals is not necessarily a good thing, and 80% of monks' long lifespan will not lead to a happy death.
Mortals envy the monks' long and free life when they are in a peaceful and happy state, and the monks envy the mortals' short but plain and happy life when they are not going to die a good death. No matter what kind of person you are, if you can't give up what you want, all the eight kinds of suffering are unavoidable.
"...So, you still have to be down-to-earth in life, and living the life in front of you is more important than anything else." The customer at the next table said earnestly, while the stall owner nodded as he listened. They are not monks, but they still have some discernment after spending decades in the secular world.
The three girls from out of town in front of them are all dressed up, and most likely they are unwilling to accept the marriage arranged by their families and go out to look for the Xianshan Sect. They are still eating common food in the mortal world, which means they have not yet found a sect that suits them.
It can also be said that we have not yet found a sect willing to accept them.
The three girls are obviously in their early twenties. Even if they have three spiritual roots, it is impossible for any sect to accept them. Unless they have two spiritual roots, but the second spiritual roots go to the mortal world and eat vulgar food with relish, their future is still worrying.
How could Sang Yue and the others not see what others were thinking? They looked at each other and smiled lightly, without saying anything to defend themselves.
With different abilities and different ideas, there is no need to instill your own life philosophy into irrelevant people. It cannot be said that ordinary people are superficial and can only see one-third of an acre of land in front of them. Different environments create various attitudes towards life.
"Uncle, is he a local?" Seeing that the stall owner was not busy with business, Sang Yue couldn't help but ask, "How old is this town?"
"That's a question, girl. You’ve asked the right person.” The stall owner was a friendly person. He sat down to rest when there were no new customers. His wife and daughter were busy clearing away the dishes from other tables. “I heard that you are from Xingyunzhou. I must be from a foreign land.” Guest..."
Exotic refers to people from other worlds. Not all of them are monks, there are also ordinary people who time travel by chance.
As a mortal in the spirit world, I have some common sense in this area, and the way to call the local people can best identify the origin of the other party. In fact, Xingyun Continent is divided into two realms, one is called Xingsui Continent, and the other is called Qingyun Immortal Realm.
Xingsui Continent is a realm where humans, monsters, monsters and other creatures live together. It is also a prison for the sinful immortals in the Qingyun Immortal Domain.
The character of the exiled Sin Immortal can be imagined.
In the past tens of millions of years, countless sinful immortals have been exiled to the Star Sui Formation. Even if their immortal bones are removed and their cultivation is wasted, they are still violent and manic by nature, and they still have the power to cause harm to all directions and seriously damage the ecological balance of this continent.
Especially the mortals were raised as sacrifices by them, and the population dropped sharply.
The population is insufficient. In order to avoid extinction, those sinful immortals have no choice but to harm other living beings as substitutes for the population, causing all living beings to suffer miserably.
But six hundred and seventy-four years ago, a female fairy was demoted to the Star Sui Continent.
To say that other Sin Immortals are violent, she is even worse than those Sin Immortals. The evidence lies in the fact that she beat up all the Sin Immortals. Those who are convinced will be taken under his command, and those who are not convinced will be beaten to death, absorbing the opponent's skills for one's own use.
In just a hundred years, all the Sin Immortals, Monsters or Cultivation families in the entire Star Sui Continent surrendered to her.
Why is she so powerful? Because she is General Biluo, the eldest princess of the Immortal Emperor Yungong, the lord of the Qingyun Immortal Domain. She was originally a border guard general in the Immortal Realm, specializing in attacking the various demon clans that tried to capture the Cloud Palace in the Immortal Realm. How could she not be fierce?
As for why he was demoted, no one knows.
But there are rumors that the Immortal Emperor learned that the Star Sui Continent was destroyed by the Sin Immortals and was in a shambles, and all the people were in ruins. He couldn't bear it, and sent his most powerful daughter to the lower realms to rectify all the evil forces.
No, after conquering all the powerful forces, she directly proclaimed herself emperor in Xingsui Continent.
No matter why she was demoted, under her rule, all realms finally stayed in their own right and did not invade each other. Therefore, the stall owner's ancestors have lived peacefully in this Daliang Town for more than three hundred years, which is an unprecedented blessing.
The empress's merits are still talked about by the older generation, and they are praised from generation to generation.
