Ten days later.
The Zhongshufu building was lit at night, and the expert group for revising the history of the cultivation world began their busy work again.
Their work is both simple and complicated. The simple part is often to make phone calls to inquire about matters in the spiritual world of the reincarnated. In addition to the reincarnated people writing the scriptures of various sects, most of them are written by expert groups.
"It's done!"
A scholar in charge of sorting stood up excitedly, holding in his hand what happened within a hundred years after the death of the Sword Immortal. A hundred years was too short for the cultivation world, but it was the most turbulent era in the past thousand years.
This period was blank, and many people didn't know what happened. Small monks liked to gossip, but they couldn't find out, and the big sects were very secretive about these things.
Scholars who have been unable to sort out the data speculate that at least the elders and higher-ups of the sect knew something about the situation. Otherwise, they would not have closed the mountain and closed the gates during this period, not allowing outsiders to enter, and not allowing disciples to go out.
The government consulted people who were still alive at the time, and the ones who can be confirmed are Taoist Qingxuan and Master Dushi. Unfortunately, these two were still young at the time and were children locked up by their elders.
Compared with the three eras with a time span of tens of thousands of years, the current number of reincarnated people is still relatively small.
Another point is that the monks are not enthusiastic about recording history, and can even be said to be perfunctory. Except for matters related to inheritance, everything else depends on whether the person concerned wants to record it or whether future generations want to pass it on.
The relevant person in charge took the sorted documents out of the office and quickly handed them over to the Ministry of Personnel.
Minister of Personnel Lu Xiaonong did not go home after work today, and neither did other officials of the Ministry of Personnel. At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone gathered together for a meeting. Without exception, they all held a white paper and read it with extremely serious expressions.
At first everyone was watching very seriously, but then their expressions became a little strange.
"What do you think?" The Minister of Personnel Lu Xiaonong closed the white paper and gently placed it on the table. Three big words "Tongxuanshu" were printed on the cover of the white paper.
This is the autobiography of Taoist Qingxuan that the Zhou government has been urging for a long time. After all, an autobiography is not just about faith, but also about the right to speak in the world of monks. Those powerful monks may not care about the convenience brought by reputation, but the government needs their reputation to attract more local monks.
For example, the Sword Immortal, all those in Shenzhou who have a little talent in swordsmanship go to Qi, simply because the Sword Immortal is in Qi. Master Du Shi is even more attractive in this regard, and monks all over the world regard him as a Buddha, and go to Chu for pilgrimage whenever they have time.
As the core of Shenzhou, Zhou may not surpass other regions in every aspect, but it must have something to offer. But the problem now is that in the cultivation world, Zhou has no say at all, and all the rights have been taken by Qi and Chu.
If possible, they would like to shout that we have living immortals here, and even propose marriage to the Flying General and the Sword Immortal, so that their influence can radiate to both Qin and Qi.
Even restoring to the Zhou Dynasty is not impossible.
But the immortals in the world are in Zhou, and they are not government officials, so they can only think about such things in their dreams.
The Zhou government hoped that Taoist Qingxuan would also publish an autobiography and become the leader of the world's Taoist sects. They originally thought so, but now they are somewhat hesitant after reading the content.
This "Tongxuan Book" may, seems, perhaps, not be able to make Taoist Qingxuan the leader of Taoism.
He tapped the table with his fingers, looked around at the officials present, and asked, "Do you think this can be used as a teaching material?"
"Well, I think the content may need to be revised." Someone said hesitantly, "This does not comply with the regulations for publishing."
It is not only incompatible, but it can be arrested as a cult. The whole article is about personality cult, and Li Changsheng is almost the same as the Western God. If this is a simple autobiography, there is nothing wrong with it, but "Tongxuanshu" is a textbook that is to be spread throughout the whole of Shenzhou.
In the future, all students and even adults will need to learn it, and its importance is no less than oral education.
"Why don't we send it back and ask the Taoist priest to revise the content?"
"What if they don't change it? Are we going to just fight back and not allow them to publish the book? With the influence of the Qing Palace, they can force the book to be published. If we do that, we will get nothing."
"But this is a textbook. How can this be so embarrassing?"
“I think the content can be cut down and used as a teaching material.”
"This is courting death. This thing is no less important than heritage. Such a modification will definitely turn the Shangqing Palace against you."
Everyone expressed their opinions, and the discussion gradually turned into an argument.
Finally, the Minister of Personnel Lu Xiaonong raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet. After the quarrel subsided, he spoke: "I think the more important thing to discuss is whether the living immortal Li Changsheng is worthy of this position rather than whether the content of the quarrel complies with the regulations."
"And I think it's well-deserved. The fact that the technique is someone else's is enough."
As the driving force behind this matter, Lu Xiaonong is most aware of the influence of the public version of the practice method. If it spreads smoothly throughout the world and allows most people to practice, he can be canonized.
In ancient times, Confucius founded Confucianism and was canonized as a saint. Today, immortals are canonized as saints for spreading the Dharma. And he personally believes that in terms of achievements, the immortals in the world are no worse than the saints and sages of the past, and may even be better. Cultivation itself belongs to a small number of people, and his Changchun Gong allows everyone in the world to participate.
He tapped the table hard a few times and asked again: "Why can't someone who benefits all the people in the world be a saint? Or do you demand perfect moral character?"
"Even if I look at the recent records of the demise of the Sword Sect, the sects that were destroyed one by one, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood described by those investigators, I can still hold my head high and say that he has the qualifications. Whether he can be canonized or not will be left to future generations to judge."
