Chapter 535: Opening a sect also requires taking advantage of the times
Doctor Huang said that they had to walk through the territory of the evil demon tribe. Although he did not emphasize the word "walking", Yingjiu gritted his teeth and walked on foot. No matter what problems he encountered, he did not ask Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang for help. When he was hungry, he ate the dry food he brought with him, and when he was thirsty, he looked for river water to drink.
Although he was very lucky not to encounter any ferocious monsters, he was attacked by wild beasts several times, and Yingjiu escaped death every time.
Even though Li Yanmo said that he had extra food, Yingjiu gritted his teeth and insisted that he didn't need it.
In just a few days, Yingjiu had a lot more white hair and his pale skin became sallow and rough.
Judging from the current situation, even if Yingjiu had not encountered the ferocious demon clan, there would be no way he could reach Juezhou. This is simply not a path that a mortal can take.
And during these days, Yingjiu never closed his eyes.
Li Yanmo felt that this matter was not simple, "Brother Leng, go back to Yinmu Town to check on Xiao Cui's condition."
Leng Ningshuang thought for a moment and nodded, then turned around and returned the same way as quickly as possible.
After Leng Ningshuang left, Li Yanmo landed next to Yingjiu, put his hands behind his back and started talking.
"Yingjiu, how old were you and Xiaocui when you first met?"
“My Lord, I have known Xiao Cui since I was three years old. I had a bad temper back then and always bullied her, hoping to get her attention in this way. I was often beaten, and every time it was Xiao Cui who interceded for me.” When Ying Jiu mentioned his acquaintance with Xiao Cui, he seemed to have endless strength and cheered up again.
Yingjiu spoke excitedly while Li Yanmo listened quietly on the side.
During this time, Leng Ningshuang also rushed back to Yinmu Town and came to Xiaocui's house. At this time, there was an uninvited guest in Xiaocui's house. The moment she saw the other person's appearance, Leng Ningshuang was surprised and said, "Why is it you!?"
The young man raised his head slightly, turned around and smiled at Leng Ningshuang, "Long time no see, Brother Leng."
"Dao Hai, why are you here!?"
That’s right, the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in Xiao Cui’s house was Daohai, a disciple of Buddhism.
Facing Leng Ningshuang's questioning, Dao Hai just scratched his face and said, "I didn't expect that you would come back, Brother Leng. Could it be that... Brother Li saw through my thoughts?"
Leng Ningshuang was stunned and furious, "You guys have been waiting for me and Brother Li to leave outside Yinmu Town!?"
"Yes and no, but it does seem so from the way it's expressed," Dao Hai stroked his bald head, "I was worried that Brother Li would come back with a surprise move, so I waited for a few days. I didn't expect that he could see through my little trick. You are worthy of being Brother Li, um—"
Leng Ningshuang was confused by Daohai's statement, but she quickly reacted, "Stop talking nonsense! What on earth are you Buddhists doing? What do you want to do in Guizhou!"
Dao Hai did not show any displeasure at Leng Ningshuang's explosive questioning, "Brother Leng, why are you so angry? How about having some snacks and some tea, and then we can talk slowly?"
A man came over, carrying snacks and a cup of smoking hot tea.
"I'll eat you—"
Leng Ningshuang originally wanted to pour the hot tea on Hai's head, but when she saw the face of the person who brought the hot tea and snacks, she was stunned again.
"Xiao Cui!?"
Xiao Cui, who was holding the plate, had a flash of eyes and nodded slightly.
Looking at the incredibly healthy Xiao Cui in front of her, Leng Ningshuang was stunned for a long time, then turned to look at Dao Hai, raised her finger with an expression of disbelief, "You, you, you——"
"Brother Leng, I don't know Miss Xiao Cui, I hope you don't think too clichédly."
Leng Ningshuang's fingers stopped shaking immediately, her eyes flickered and she changed the subject guiltily, "What on earth is going on? What exactly do you Buddhists want to do?!"
Dao Hai took the teacup from Xiao Cui, thought for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Brother Leng, do you believe in karma? If a person commits too many sins during his lifetime, he will go to hell and suffer torture after death until he pays for his sins?"
Leng Ningshuang frowned, she was a straightforward person and didn't like others to answer with rhetorical questions, but Daohai was the only person who could answer her doubts now, and she couldn't beat Daohai, so she could only listen to Daohai's stories.
"If that's true, wouldn't hell have been overcrowded long ago?" Leng Ningshuang asked with her arms folded across her chest and a sneer.
Leng Ningshuang just wanted to scold Dao Hai, but what she didn't expect was that Dao Hai actually nodded and sighed, "Yes, it will be overcrowded. Even if there are eighteen levels of hell, it will not be enough. This world is really too big."
Leng Ningshuang was stunned, and her expression gradually became serious, "So what does this have to do with Ghost State?"
"How can it not matter? It matters so much that there has to be a place to store it, and there has to be a place for the guilty to pay for the sins they committed in their lifetime until all their sins are paid for."
"Death can never wipe out the sins that have been committed. It is not the end, but the beginning."
Dao Hai picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It was precisely because of this realization that the first immortal of the Ghost Sect was able to officially enter the realm of immortals from semi-immortals, and willingly sat in meditation and made his small world a part of this great world."
Dao Hai began to sigh as he spoke.
"Strategic vision is also an indispensable element of cultivation."
"That's how most super sects came into being. Now there are no such big vacancies in the world, so it's hard to become a super sect anymore."
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a dividend of the times.”
Leng Ningshuang kept frowning, ignoring Dao Hai's playful complaints, "Is it really that simple?"
“If you don’t delve further, it’s really just simple.”
"What if we delve deeper?"
“Then we have to start from the fact that cultivators who take shortcuts in their cultivation methods will cause terrible harm to the world and create terrible loopholes,” Dao Hai shook the teacup in his hand with a deep look in his eyes.
"People only live once, and this life is only a hundred years. No matter how many sins you have committed, how many years can you have left?"
"But it's different for monks. A hundred years is just the beginning for them. The sins that monks need to pay off and count are beyond the reach of mortals."
Leng Ningshuang thought about it and couldn't help but complain, "I'm afraid it's impossible to count them all."
"As long as you are willing to count, you will be able to count them all sooner or later, but the problem is that monks have too many ways to come back to life after death," Dao Hai stared at the tea in the cup that kept shaking and seemed about to spill out at any time.
"If we want to expand the Ghost Sect, the key is always how to deal with the death of the cultivators."
"It was the second immortal of the Ghost Sect who realized this that truly established the Ghost Sect's status as a super sect. The Ghost Sect's disciples were also recognized by the Dao Pillar for the correctness of their Daoism, and their cultivation bottlenecks were far lower than those of other Daoisms."
"And this ghost state was completely completed from that day on."
