Chapter 83: The World Changes in One Month
Time flies and a month has passed.
The rumors about the Age of Great Strife spread more and more widely, and had a greater influence on the world. Perhaps it was the intentional or unintentional guidance of the Ming government, or perhaps it was the awakening of the pursuit of immortality that had lasted for thousands of years.
During this month, people were rapidly moving in the direction that Wen Zhengming had imagined.
Sometimes it takes hundreds of years for concepts to change, but in today's information-rich world, it only takes a moment.
When people accept the facts, the times have changed.
The simplest change is that the most frequently appearing announcements on university bulletin boards are not postgraduate entrance examination announcements or recruitment announcements, but rather aptitude awakening training classes.
This is a newly emerged training class, whose main purpose is to increase the possibility of one's own awakening qualifications through training.
He claims to have inside information among the various Taoist sects and has his own training experience in the second stage of awakening.
This seems a bit outrageous at first glance.
It feels as unreliable as the legend of Zha Zha Hui.
Wen Zhengming originally thought that no one would believe in this kind of registration class, but it was completely beyond his expectations.
There are countless people who sign up for this kind of classes in universities, just like carp crossing the river.
Some of Wen Zhengming's younger classmates even asked him whether he wanted to sign up.
What the hell!
Wen Zhengming tactfully rejected his younger classmates.
Regarding qualifications, does Wen Zhengming still need to attend training classes?
Are you kidding me?
However, Wen Zhengming was still shocked by the various products of the changing times.
In fact, what many people don’t know is that as times change, geniuses and shocking things appear with almost the same frequency.
For example, few people would believe that Qigong could lift a satellite.
They could neither fly with swords nor exorcise ghosts or bind gods, but they were still believed by everyone at that time.
It’s the same now, all kinds of bizarre things are emerging one after another.
"What kind of era have I ushered in?"
Wen Zhengming looked at the program in front of him, which had turned into an exploration of cultivating immortals, and felt that the world had changed so much.
Even though he was the one who manipulated this, he always felt that something was wrong.
Wen Zhengming closed the program "Exploring Immortal Cultivation" in front of him, and then jumped to the "Aura Revival" forum.
“This is the right style!”
The most popular list on Tieba right now is the Young Talents List, and the people listed on it have quickly become national idols within a few weeks.
Every time Wen Zhengming made changes to the rankings, it would cause a huge debate on the forum.
Because this is an era of unprecedented contention.
In this age of great contention, people fight for fame, profit, power, and position, and also for immortality and eternal existence.
In such a world, people are fighting with each other and countries are fighting with each other.
There are born geniuses, shining stars; there are ordinary people, nothing can be done about it.
Having a country is the destiny of heaven, and it will swallow up the world. Having foreign countries without destiny will destroy the country and the family will be ruined.
Those who are ranked on the list of young people including Wen Zhengming are the stars of this era and the peak among people of this era.
How can these people not become stars in everyone's eyes.
In fact, everyone has a wish, which is to be on that list and prove that they are also a star that will rise into the sky at the beginning of this great era.
Wen Zhengming gave the grassland of the times a spark, which itself became a prairie fire, becoming more and more intense.
"Fight! Let's see who can finally reach immortality!"
………
On Mount Zhongnan, Qiao Yuanshan had the deepest feelings about the state of the world.
Ever since he became a Quanzhen disciple and was taught the Taoist teachings, all his fellow disciples now want to fight him.
They all want that spot on the young talent list.
Especially the one named Zhao Yan, who would come to fight him every day.
Qiao Yuanshan had no choice but to pretend to lose.
But the list has not changed at all.
He went to ask his master, and the answer he got was that deliberately losing doesn't count.
This gave Qiao Yuanshan a headache.
These people clearly can't beat me, but they still insist on challenging me. Isn't this annoying?
Qiao Yuanshan had no choice but to run up to Taiyi Mountain in the cave to talk to his master.
"Master, shouldn't we be modest and prudent? Why don't we forbid private fights?"
The old Taoist priest Longxuzi was sitting on the futon. Hearing this, he did not open his eyes but said calmly:
"Only because you have gained fame and fortune can you say that you want to give up fame and fortune. If you can't get fame and fortune, how can you say that you are indifferent?"
"As a monk, you must give up everything. But this requires that you have received something before. Otherwise, how can you talk about giving it up? You are still too young. We, the masters, don't have such high expectations of you. You disciples should talk about receiving something first, and then talk about giving it up!"
Qiao Yuanshan raised his head and said helplessly:
"Then don't I have to keep fighting them?"
The old Taoist priest opened his eyes, looked at him and said, "Actually, you can learn from Feng Zichu."
"Chief?" Qiao Yuanshan vaguely remembered this chief disciple, with white hair and a childlike face, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
The old Taoist priest Longxuzi nodded and said calmly:
"In the past, there were always people who would fight with him. He was a serious person. Although he would not beat people to death, he would always beat them up badly. Later, after a long time, no one fought with him anymore."
"Because everyone knows they can't win and will be beaten humiliatingly."
Qiao Yuanshan opened his mouth wide, as if he was meeting his master for the first time.
Master, is this the method a proper master should teach?
"What? Do you think the master's methods are too cruel?" The old Taoist priest seemed to see through Qiao Yuanshan's thoughts. This disciple was good in every way except that he was a little stubborn.
Qiao Yuanshan said awkwardly: "Yes, a little bit. After all, we are brothers."
The old Taoist priest Longxuzi seemed to agree with his idea. He nodded and gave a second method:
"That's easy. Master, I'll beat you so hard that you can't get out of bed, and then they won't fight you."
"After all, you've been bedridden, and they probably don't want to do anything. This method can be used for ten or eight years at a time without any problems."
Ten or eight years?
Qiao Yuanshan opened his eyes wide and said, "Master, am I your disciple?"
Can you think of this method?
"Ahem... Well, Master, I think your first method is very good and practical!"
The old Taoist narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said with a smile, "That's right, the method passed down by the chief disciples of Quanzhen for generations is the most practical. Is there any better method in the world than this?"
Looking at the cheerful old master, Qiao Yuanshan laughed and said:
"Master, if you have nothing else to tell me, I will leave first."
Qiao Yuanshan prepared to go down the mountain to put this method into practice.
Before Qiao Yuanshan could walk down Taiyi Peak, the old Taoist priest called him again.
"I do have something to tell you."
"Do you remember the great-grandmaster I told you about?"
Qiao Yuanshan was stunned and said, "Remember!"
The old Taoist priest Longxuzi said, "He said he encountered some strange things and wanted to stay in Zhongnan Mountain for a while. He will probably be back at noon tomorrow. Go pick him up!"
