Although the Moyi Sect also manages the worldly affairs of the realm, in Elder Yu's position, he has actually long been out of touch with those "secular affairs." Therefore, when Elder Yu looked at the holographic image displayed by Ye Zan, he only saw some superficial things. But just these superficial things were enough to shock Elder Yu, and he believed that Ye Zan could gain merit from it.
After introducing the rail transit, Ye Zan once again changed the holographic image into a high-altitude bird's-eye view, and asked Elder Yu with a smile: "Elder Yu, do you think that if it were in this Moyi territory, it could be so full of rails? Is fellowship a meritorious thing for the world?”
Elder Yu nodded slowly and said with emotion in his tone: "I didn't expect that Taoist friends could actually come up with such a thing. It's no wonder that they have the confidence to covet the merits of heaven and earth. The worldly world in the Shenhua Realm has Taoism. I’m afraid it won’t take long for our rail transportation to reach a higher level!”
When it comes to obtaining merit, ascetics are not really clueless, and they all know that merit will come if they make the world "better." Just like in the prehistoric era, several religious leaders made great aspirations to establish a religion and preach, and then received boundless merits from heaven and earth, precisely because they made the world take a big step in a better direction.
However, things that can earn a lot of merit have basically been done by the powerful people in the prehistoric era. For example, the one who created the alchemy path will definitely have the merits of the alchemy path, and it will be impossible for future generations to create any more alchemy path. Also, if the person who created writing received merit and became a saint, it would be impossible for future generations to gain merit by creating writing.
In fact, it can be said that the world in the prehistoric era was like a piece of uncarved jade. Those great masters from ancient times, as long as they make a random scratch on this jade, as long as they do not destroy the jade, they have made a contribution to the carving of jade. And as you carve and I carve, the jade gradually takes shape, and the carving becomes more and more difficult, which naturally makes it more and more difficult for people to cut.
In this era, this piece of jade has basically been carved into shape, and no one can make any more changes to it. It can be said that even if you want to fix something in the smallest detail, it is very difficult. Under such circumstances, it is almost unimaginable to obtain a large amount of merit.
Of course, this does not mean that today's ascetics are born at the wrong time. After all, it is not so easy for those great masters to strike. It's as if some people think that if they were born in the Middle Ages, they would know why the apple fell to the ground and the earth revolves around the sun. However, that is still because you have gained the experience of your predecessors. Why don’t other people who were also born in the middle world know the common sense today
But now, Ye Zan can find such a path in terms of merit that no one expected, and it is not because he is smarter than people in this world. It's just because he is not from this world, and his thoughts and concepts are not influenced by this world, that he can think of and do these things.
The thinking of the ascetics in this world has been solidified in the concept of treating ordinary mortals as ants. Don’t they have the ability to make something similar to rail transit? If those ascetics are really serious about it, even if they can't build rail transit, can't they use their magical power to open up roads for mortals
You must know that those steep and dangerous roads for ordinary mortals are nothing to the ascetics. Moving mountains and filling seas is not an exaggeration. Even the powerful soul can do it, so "turning a chasm into a clear path" is naturally not a difficult task.
To put it bluntly, those ascetics don’t want to “waste” their thoughts at all, and they don’t want to lower themselves to the level of “serving the people.”
I think back when Ye Zan first started to engage in rail transit, those cultivating sects even thought that Ye Zan had lost the face of their cultivators. If the Yuqing Sect had not already gained a certain level of strength and Ye Zan had provided enough benefits, those sects might not have known what to do with Ye Zan and the Yuqing Sect.
And Ye Zan is influenced by the world of technology. Although the world of technology is not really "equal for everyone," at least this is always the case in publicity.
In other words, you don’t have to think that everyone is equal in your heart, or even think that everyone is equal in your actions, but you must say that everyone is equal. This sounds a bit hypocritical, but it will still have a certain impact on people subtly.
Therefore, only after Ye Zan came to this world could he think of such a way to gain merit.
"Haha, Elder Yu is very grateful. How can I say that my cultivation is so poor, yet I still encounter some big | troubles? If I didn't find a solution from other places, I'm afraid I would have been chewed clean to the bones and flesh. "Ye Zan said with a bit of self-deprecation.
Indeed, I don’t know if it’s because Ye Zan loves to cause trouble, or the world rejects him, or it’s just plain bad luck. It has been almost ten years since he came from the world of technology, but these ten years have been much more "wonderful" than others. If it had been anyone else, without his means in the technological world, he would have been buried long ago.
"The words of fellow Taoist Wuji made me feel a little ashamed." Elder Yu didn't know that Ye Zan's words were inspired by his feelings. He just thought that the other party was being modest, so he said with some politeness: "If I You see well, Taoist Wuji, Taoist friend Lin next to you, is probably not old enough for a mortal to know his destiny? Even I, when I was the age of Taoist Taoist, I could only build a golden elixir. At such an age, you two can reach the realm of Yuanshen. If you still think that your cultivation is not enough, how should other people of the same age live?"
Elder Yu's words were polite, but they were not flattering. To a certain extent, they could be said to be seeking truth from facts. At Ye Zan and Lin Mumu's age, they can possess the cultivation level of the Yuanshen Realm. Let alone the Shenhua Realm, it is difficult to find a few that can be compared with each other in all the outer realms.
It's just that no matter how talented you are, no matter how much you overpower your peers, you can't stand that there are still "seniors" in this world. Just like a mountain, there are people up and down the mountain. No matter when you climb the mountain or how fast you climb, there is always someone in front of you. You get rid of the people who set off at the same time as you, but there are people in front of you who set off earlier than you. Even if you catch up with the group of people who set off early, there are still people in front of you who set off earlier.
After all, genius does not mean invincibility, but it is easier to encounter stronger opponents.
Of course, Ye Zan would not say this to Elder Yu. Faced with the other party's politeness, he could only smile helplessly and said: "Elder Yu, I wonder if your religion is still interested in this rail transit? If you are interested, I will tell you. We can quickly summon people to build rail transit in this domain for your sect. Moreover, you also know that I am doing this for merit, so naturally I will not open my mouth to the lion of your sect. At most, I will let your sect. Just provide some materials needed for construction.”
Ye Zan's original intention to introduce rail transit was to prove his ability to obtain merit, but if rail transit could be rolled out in Moyi territory, he would naturally gain another merit. Therefore, after he introduced the rail transit, he immediately asked Elder Yu what he meant and wanted to see if he could settle this matter.
You know, in this world, this kind of system similar to *** is not just a system. As a monk, he clings to secular power, often because he closely integrates the destiny of the sect with the development of the secular world. In other words, as long as there is good development in the secular world, the fortune of this sect will improve accordingly.
After all, ascetics are very practical. To put it bluntly, they are "too late to start without profit." Almost everything they do must be profitable. If there was no beneficial influence of luck, the ascetics would not be distracted by the secular mortals at all. Otherwise, the world would not know what it would develop into.
One benefit of combining the destiny of the sect with the development of the world is that as long as the world does not perish, the sect will not be in danger of collapse. Mortals, on the other hand, have extremely strong resilience and the ability to reproduce. As long as it is not a world-destroying disaster, they are basically unlikely to be in danger of extinction.
When Ye Zan was promoting rail transit and high-yielding crops in the Shenhua Territory, almost all the sects did not express support. Only the Shi family of Daqian Kingdom showed great interest. It is because, as the royal family of Daqian Kingdom, the Shi family has closely integrated the fate of the family with the fortune of the country, and the two have a mutually prosperous relationship. Therefore, as long as it is beneficial to the development of Daqian Country, it is also beneficial to the Shi family, and the Shi family is naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.
The same is true for the Moi religion. As long as the secular world of the Moi realm develops well, the influence on the luck of the Moi religion will definitely be beneficial and harmless.
Sure enough, after listening to Ye Zan's words, Elder Yu's face seemed a little hesitant. It seemed that he was indeed interested in the rail transit, but he was also accompanied by some scruples.
After hesitating for a moment, Elder Yu shook his head with some regret and sighed: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, if this rail transit, like that communication base station, can emit such a large amount of electric light power, then I will not be happy with you. Good intentions can only come from the heart.”
Elder Yu once again mentioned the influence of electromagnetic radiation. Ye Zan became more and more curious and asked quickly: "Elder Yu, I have now proved that although I have nothing else to ask for here, what I want is This heaven and earth merit is not for your sect. What scruples does the elder have about this power of lightning? If you tell me the problem, maybe I can help you find a solution?"
Now, Ye Zan has made it clear that his biggest intention is merit, and he does all these things for merit. In fact, it shows that he has no other plans for the Mayi religion, let alone any secrets.
In other words, Ye Zan used his merits to draw a line for Elder Yu. Whatever secrets you teach to Mayi cannot compare with this merit, then just tell them. Anyway, I am just doing it for merit, and naturally I will not give up the opportunity to obtain this merit for something of lower value.
Hearing Ye Zan ask this question again, Elder Yu was not as nervous and guarded as before because he already knew what Ye Zan wanted. He was silent there for a long time, and he didn't know whether he was just thinking or communicating with other elders. He finally said: "Before, I told about a former leader who wanted to use blood sacrifice to open the shackles of heaven and earth, but he failed. He was driven away by the seniors in the sect. My fellow Taoist asked me where the leader had gone. I just communicated with the sect, so it’s okay to tell me now.”
Hearing Elder Yu's words, Ye Zan immediately became energetic, but his face did not show it too obviously. He only asked with a little curiosity: "Oh, yes, I am indeed quite concerned about this matter. Curious. The elder said that the leader was driven away, but he did not say which realm he was driven to. Could it be that the leader is still in the Moyi realm? "
Faced with Ye Zan's guess, Elder Yu had no scruples this time and nodded naturally, and then said: "Fellow Taoist guessed it right. The leader is indeed still in this realm, or it cannot be said that he is completely In this realm.”
Seeing that there was really a secret to be heard, Lin Mumu lost all his previous grudges and did not hide his curiosity. He asked loudly: "Elder Yu, isn't your statement a bit contradictory?"
Elder Yu, on the other hand, did not argue with Lin Mumu. He shook his head and said, "There is a reason why I said this. First, the passage leading to the other party's hiding place is at the boundary of Moyi Territory. Secondly, we have never entered the other party’s hiding place, so we naturally don’t know whether it is still in the realm.”
Ye Zan thought of the previous information, combined with what Elder Yu said at this time, and immediately asked speculatively: "Could it be that the leader of your sect actually ran into the eye of the void storm?"
Elder Yu said before that the concern about communication base stations is that electromagnetic radiation can withstand the power of void storms. Originally, the Void Storm was a specialty of the Endless Void, and Ye Zan still couldn't understand why the other party had such scruples. But now, with what Elder Yu just said, Ye Zan finally understood why the Moyi Church had such scruples.
"Fellow Taoist's guess, even if it is not right, is not far off! Although that person's hiding place is not the eye of the void storm, it is indeed blocked by the power of the void storm. It is precisely because of this that the other party cannot Escape from it, and we can't enter it," Elder Yu said with a nod.
