Ultimately, retaining the primordial yang is beneficial to spiritual practice, which is certainly a factor.
But what Wei Dongliu was reluctant to admit was that he did have a certain kind of moral cleanliness - but it was only when it came to treating his partner.
He didn't want Witch Jiang to think that the man she entrusted her body to was Wei Dongliu.
Although it sounds very strange: Wei Dongliu is the one who becomes her Taoist partner, so why can't Wei Dongliu be the one to entrust her body to?
Of course, it is because the former is just a cultural ritual, while the latter is a permanent mark on the body... In short, he is very principled in this regard and will never waver.
Naturally, Witch Jiang couldn't understand, so she tried her best.
However, if she used force, Wei Dongliu's body would not be able to withstand her tossing and turning; if she used dirty tricks, the illusion would not be able to break through his chaotic mind.
In desperation, Jiang Li'an finally realized that he could not break through the city gate, and he could only occupy every inch of the corner around the city wall to declare his sovereignty.
Wei Dongliu didn't know whether it was her sovereignty that was occupied by him, or his sovereignty that was occupied by her... From the perspective of secular cognition, it was the former, but looking at the appearance of Witch Jiang, it seemed like the latter. He really couldn't figure it out.
In short, Jiang Li'an got what she wanted, and Wei Dongliu did not lose anything important to him, which means that both of them won, a win-win situation.
The next day, the young couple left the sect’s residence again, preparing to preside over the final stage of the unification of Mount Wutai.
Before leaving, Wei Dongliu called Guo Jin and Wang Xun and told them:
"Master and Master's Wife, I have some important things to do outside, so you will stay in the sect."
"Of course, if you want to go out for training, you can, but remember to be careful and don't forget to activate the shielding formation at the door before you go out."
At this point, Wei Dongliu took out another flying sword, which was a tenth-order earth-type flying sword named "Qianlong" that was presented to him by a sect that had surrendered to Fan Shengdao before.
"This Qianlong Sword was given to me by someone else." Wei Dongliu handed the Qianlong Sword to Guo Jin, "Take it for self-defense."
"Thank you, Master." Guo Jin kowtowed respectfully.
"Little Qin'er, have you carefully refined the demon that your master's wife gave you a few days ago?" Jiang Li secretly called Wang Qin over and held her in his arms.
Wang Jun nodded with a red face, looking at his master's wife with eyes full of admiration.
This made Wei Dongliu frown a little, because Wang Zhen seemed to like this master's wife more than himself.
In the past, he would have been afraid of this, but now that Jiang Li'an is his little wife, he feels that this is not a bad thing.
"Okay, Master-wife, I will teach you another secret technique."
After teaching the sword and the technique, the two left Shiping Mountain and flew towards Zhongtai Peak.
"Husband." Jiang Li asked slowly, "What do you think of these two disciples?"
"Guo Jin is dull and docile, but blessed with good fortune; Wang Xun is alert and anxious, but too much is as bad as too little," Wei Dongliu replied.
"Huh?" Jiang Li said in surprise, "I thought my husband had no intention of running the sect, but I didn't expect that he knew the temperaments of his two disciples so well."
"What are you talking about, my good wife?" Wei Dongliu said unhappily, "If you have no intention of running a sect, why would I have worked so hard to establish the Wanfa Tongxuan Sect?"
Jiang Li laughed in silence and thought to himself:
I was the one who recommended this base to you, and I was the one who helped you find the two disciples. I was also the one who gave them the daily lessons, and even the spiritual medicine resources for their cultivation were prepared by me. So what exactly did you, the headmaster, actually do?
You were present when the sect was established, and you were in charge when they went out for training. That’s all, right?
"Yes, yes, yes." She hugged Wei Dongliu's arm and said coquettishly, "It's all thanks to my husband!"
Wei Dongliu instinctively felt that she was being sarcastic, but he had no evidence, so he could only snort coldly and not mention the matter again.
After the two arrived at Zhongtai Peak, they summoned the three sects of Fansheng Dao, gathered all the monks, and then headed towards the nearby Buddhist temple in a mighty force.
…
Fayuan Temple has a population of about fifty, which is probably the population limit for a small sect in the Buddhist sect. Any more would be considered medium-sized.
As we all know, Taoist practice requires involvement in the world. For example, when one reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage and reaches the Palace Stage, one is required to go out and look for the Purple Palace Secret Medicine, otherwise one's foundation in Taoism cannot be solid.
In comparison, the Buddhist practice style is more escapist. When encountering a problem, they just meditate and think hard. There is no problem that cannot be solved by thinking hard.
If so, it means your mind is not calm. If you are still unable to solve the problem even if your mind is calm, it means you do not have wisdom.
Therefore, to judge whether a Buddhist sect is powerful or not, one only needs to see whether the sect has close ties with the secular world.
If it is a Buddhist temple built in a remote area with very few people, the monks inside are generally very powerful... But this is not the case with Fayuan Temple. Not only does it often send monks out to beg for alms, it also accepts pilgrims to worship and donate. It is one of those Buddhist temples that is not very active in practice.
To some extent, Wei Dongliu chose to attack Fayuan Temple first, with the intention of having a good first battle.
When everyone arrived at Fayuan Temple, they saw a group of monks surrounding an old monk, who were coming out of the temple one after another as if they had been prepared.
"Amitabha." The old monk put his palms together and said indifferently, "Fan Shengdao wants to occupy Mount Wutai this time, committing endless sins and killings, and is entangled with karma. Why don't you stop before it is too late, Mr. Wei? Otherwise, the karma will backfire on you and it will be too late to regret."
Wei Dongliu took a closer look and found that it was the wandering monk Yu Wen, who was quite famous in the Buddhist community.
It is said that Buddhists should retreat from the world to practice cultivation, but the old monk Yu Wen did the opposite. He liked to travel around the world.
After traveling for dozens or hundreds of years, he would retreat from the world, find a secluded place to sum up his insights and concentrate on meditation.
When he reappeared, his cultivation level had reached a higher level, belonging to the relatively non-mainstream "sudden enlightenment" school of Buddhism.
Buddhism uses relics to counter Taoism's golden elixir, and seven-treasure relics to counter Yuanying fetus immortals. This old monk Yu Wen has already formed seven-treasure relics, so he is considered a "Yuanying realm monk." In addition, he has been traveling in the world for many years, so his combat power must be strong, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
But Wei Dongliu was confident that he had the Heavenly Demonic Technique in his hands, and was not afraid of the reputation of this wandering monk at all. He just sneered and said:
"It's fine if you don't commit murder. Please ask everyone in Fayuan Temple to leave Mount Wutai. I, the Fansheng Dao, will naturally not hunt you down."
"Why bother?" The old monk Yu Wen sighed and whispered, "Mount Wutai is so big, how can it not accommodate two sects? Donor Wei should also know the principle of 'a single yang cannot survive'. The more powerful the mortal Dao is now, the more serious the hidden dangers will be in the future."
Wei Dongliu naturally knew that what the old monk said was true. Fan Shengdao was now acting so domineeringly. Although his momentum had been created to the fullest, he also attracted maximum hatred.
If the Mortal Dao declines from prosperity in the future, it will surely be overthrown by the crowd. Just look at how powerful the Tongxuan Sect was thousands of years ago, which once dominated the Mortal Dao. The sect even included more than 60% of the entire Mortal Dao's skills. But when it declined, it was directly destroyed and the Daoism ceased to exist.
If one really wants to manage a sect carefully, the right way is to stay low like Kunlun.
But Wei Dongliu didn't really want the Fansheng Dao to continue to be great. He just wanted to become the leader of the Demon Cult and get the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone. So he acted stubborn and said in a stern voice:
"There is no point in saying more. If the wandering monk wants to protect this Fayuan Temple, please first ask me if the sword in my hand agrees!"
