My Taoist Career

Elder Qiu's expression didn't change much, he just said to me: "Sect Leader, you are still young and know little about the secrets of the cultivator's world, which is normal. Do you know that there are three iron rules in the cultivator's world? "

I pondered, from Chen Chengyi's memory, I probably know some taboos in the cultivator's world, but I don't know what the three iron rules are...so I shook my head.

"First, you can't murder ordinary family members of cultivators. Although not all cultivators have secular family members, people can't just jump out of rocks, so although most cultivators have escaped from the world, how many There are also relatives in this world. If you want to retaliate and act rashly on the family members of the cultivator, in the final analysis, you will be 'bullying' others, and there will be a lot of involvement, so this number one is the iron rule that is commonly recognized in the circle of cultivators... It is the default of all cultivators, and it is a rule made by people." Elder Qiu said to me.

Regarding this point, I nodded... In fact, this rule is not limited to this place, even in the world I live in, and it is even stricter... That is, once you enter the mountain gate, you must cut off the relationship with your loved ones in the world. Because in a sense, it already belongs to a different world. The influence of the world of cultivators on the world of ordinary people is not necessarily positive, and it is somewhat counterproductive.

As for the first iron rule, I don't even doubt its 'power' at all. In Chen Chengyi's memory, even a crazy person like Yang Sheng would not dare to do that blatantly, and he must act cautiously... They also tried to erase the evidence, which shows the ferocity of this rule.

And Elder Qiu continued: "The second iron rule is very simple to say, but in fact it contains too much. This boundary is not easy to define. Therefore, many cultivators violate taboos. It cannot be involved in the world of ordinary people."

"It's easy to understand, how could it be a taboo?" I couldn't help asking.

"Because this rule, like the third rule, is not a rule determined by all cultivators, be they good or bad, like the first rule, but is determined by forces outside the circle." Elder Qiu said .

Power outside the circle?I frowned slightly, as if I caught something?

In fact, this rule is indeed everywhere, and it is true that no matter how big a matter is, it dare not involve ordinary people... Even in the town of Zuwu Eighteen Villages, Yang Sheng's forces dare not rashly take the lives of ordinary people, There are various ways to achieve their goals.

But that time, although they said they were looking for blood, I didn't know exactly what it was for... It might take a final battle with Yang Sheng to get some answers, right?

Those who are unscrupulous towards ordinary people have never been cultivators...for example, ghosts, monsters and so on...but if you think about it carefully, it is just like what Elder Qiu said, this rule is difficult to define, just like The practice of Heiyan Miao Village has indeed influenced many ordinary people...but they have almost isolated ordinary people and used a secret method to take people's lifespan...

And the same is true for many evil cultivators...they act secretly, as long as they don't cause waves in the world of ordinary people...it seems...

"Do you understand?" Elder Qiu looked at me and said.

I nodded, and seemed to have some understanding.

"In short, it seems that there is no rule to find for the second rule... But there is an obvious rule confirmed by everyone... that is, as long as the things in the circle of cultivators do not have a certain impact on the world of ordinary people, Let the worldly people start talking, and you can generally avoid this iron rule. Otherwise, you will inevitably face disaster." Elder Qiu's expression was very solemn, and I also became serious when I saw it, and I also started to feel inexplicable in my heart. Be in awe of some of the mysteries of this world.

"How did this catastrophe come about? Since it is not a power in the cultivator's circle, and the world of ordinary people obviously cannot have much influence on the cultivator's circle, then is this power the way of heaven?" I asked seriously.

"The power of the Dao of Heaven is mysterious and unpredictable. How can it be so simple to calculate the entanglement of cause and effect? ​​Just like righteousness and evil, people often ask, since the rules of the Dao of Heaven are the rules of righteousness, why does it allow the existence of evil? I think you have the answer to this question, That is, these evils come from the heart of life... The way of heaven can only be tempered by rules, but cannot be cut off... What the way of heaven cannot interfere with is the human heart, it can only set rules and let people choose. Therefore, In the final analysis, the way of heaven is the rules, and when the rules are violated, there will naturally be consequences... But the iron rule that the circle of cultivators cannot affect the world of ordinary people is obviously..." Elder Qiu frowned.

I looked at him, and I probably understood a little bit in my heart... But I'm just guessing, and I'll let Elder Qiu explain the details.

"Well, let's put it this way, because the entanglement of cause and effect is too complicated, in this world, there are its own rules, just like the way of heaven is a general rule, and the rules made by the world are within the scope allowed by the general rules, and the sub-rules formulated are also the rules of heaven. Part of the operation. If this is difficult to understand, let’s say that there are policemen in the world of ordinary people. Regardless of whether there are various problems in what they do, the general direction is always to cut off the evil...a murderer Being arrested by the police and then punished is a manifestation of the fruit of heaven. That is to say, the cause and effect of heaven is a big operation, and various retributions will also appear through various rules in the world! In the final analysis, the world’s Are the mainstream and rules not the manifestation and influence of the way of heaven? Why don't people formulate laws to protect evil? Think about this issue? So..." Elder Qiu explained it clearly to me.

"So, the circle of cultivators also has its own sub-rules, and there are such executors, which represent the rules of heaven, what do you mean?" Yes, it's like the police in the world!It's just that the rules are different, but they all follow the way of heaven.

I understood right away, and I was shocked to death... There is such power in the circle of cultivators?

My complexion also changed, even though I am not Chen Chengyi, I am not from this world... I couldn't help asking aloud: "Then who is this power?"

"Who knows? Only the Tao is the iron rule, and those who violate it are already in great trouble... Through the clues, let me tell you, it is a god, do you believe it?" Elder Qiu said with a wry smile.

I fell silent all of a sudden, but my heart was very restless?immortal?What is the concept of immortals in this world?I can't give a specific answer. Perhaps in the world I live in, the Venerable Master is considered a god to them, or even higher... How do they exist in this world?

"You are much calmer than before." Judging by my reaction, Elder Qiu actually gave such an evaluation.

That's right, that guy Chen Chengyi would definitely be taken aback. It's just me... I suddenly realized, why do I have such big mood swings?If I were the real me before, I would be calm after hearing it, just because it would not hinder my pursuit of the Dao, and I would not go against the Dao of Heaven...Since it has no influence on me, why should I have any relationship with gods?All things are equal, and the only thing that is not equal is the nobility of a soul... Now, why should I learn from that guy who is always curious and always surprised.

Thinking about it this way, I have some more emotions called annoyance. I am not used to this kind of myself, so I can only look at the world to calm my mood...After a while, I finally calmed down , asked: "What about the third article? Does it have something to do with this booklet? It is the so-called critical point?"

"Yes, that's what it means... This third rule is an iron rule to protect cultivators... There are no specific regulations, but the content is a struggle in the circle of cultivators, and the number of deaths is limited. This is to prevent cultivators from becoming extinct in this world due to various reasons! The specific number of deaths is not stated in the rules, and the specific battle involved only refers to a certain battle... Whether it is our Xueshan lineage or Yang Sheng's power, it has almost stirred up the entire circle of cultivators in China... and even involved circles of cultivators outside of China... No matter how many collisions occurred in the middle, it is It belongs to a fight, and too many people have died..." Elder Qiu said with a sigh.

And I held the booklet in my hand... I still couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart, so I asked: "How many people have died?"

"On our side, the specific number is 867 people. Yang Sheng's side doesn't know... What I want to remind is that this kind of collision is almost the critical point, and we can't die anymore. Therefore, the only thing we have to face is It could be the last battle, neither we nor Yang Sheng have a choice." Elder Qiu said so.

After finishing speaking, he looked at me and said, "Master, in three days' time, there may be an important news coming... By then, the battle will be decided!"
