Xie Dong once again suppressed a wave of opponents before continuing to speak.
And what he said next was just as everyone had guessed.
"The way of heaven is no longer selfless. On the contrary, it favors those who are beneficial to it. You are all cultivators seeking immortality. I don't think anyone will think you are hypocritical. We are all modern people and there is no need to be polite. Most people Cultivation is to achieve immortality that was difficult to achieve with previous technological means. As for becoming stronger, I think it comes second. After all, no matter how strong you are, if you can only live for a hundred years, it's not interesting."
Naturally, some people at the meeting would not agree with this view. If you can only live like a tortoise for a thousand years, I am afraid it is better to live like an eagle for decades...
However, Lei Lei was in front, and no one spoke out to object at this time, but silently listened to Xie Dong's words.
"There is a saying that goes well, those who follow nature will be at ease, and those who go against nature will work hard. Those who go against nature will have a good ending only in novels and TV... If you want to live forever, if you do something beneficial to the earth's heaven , you can naturally obtain the merits of heaven. Those who have merits of heaven will have fewer bottlenecks in cultivation and increase their luck. Even if they become ghosts, they will still have the opportunity to be reincarnated... "
"In this regard, I think Taoist Master Ma of Zishan Temple should have the best experience. Taoist Ma, I wonder if you can talk about your relevant experience?" Xie Dong said with a smile.
He did not greet the other party privately. After all, practitioners have many methods and can easily discover various secret room transactions. In that case, the credibility will be greatly reduced.
But he knew that the other party would definitely agree to his proposal.
As the leader of the outreach team, he has a clear understanding of the situation at Zishan Temple. He also has the gift of discerning the truth and lies of people's words, which makes him even more aware of Ma Futian's thoughts.
Sure enough, when Ma Laodao heard this, a look of complacency flashed across his face. Everyone was complimenting him by the lake just now. He had to be humble and pretended that he was really not happy enough.
Now in the conference, all the famous cultivators from China are sitting there. To be able to sit here, one must be at least pond level.
For example, his son and direct disciple Ma Ping, who had been practicing hard and had just managed to break through to the bathtub level, could only sit outside and observe, and was not qualified to sit in the ring.
The reality is like this, how can there be so much equality...
"Thank you for being so polite, Team Leader," he cupped his hand, then trimmed half of his beard, and then said, "I am not talented, I am stupid by nature, I was taught by my ancestor, and as the master of Zishan Temple, it is my duty to kill demons. I have been very lucky over the years. Although I have encountered difficulties along the way, I have overcome them one by one. Now that I think about it, it is not that the old Taoist is lucky, but that he has actually done something beneficial to heaven and earth and accumulated some heavenly merits. Only then can you turn misfortune into good fortune, turn adversity into good fortune, and make brave and diligent progress on the path of cultivation..."
Everyone present at the meeting got very excited after hearing this and did not want to miss a word.
This Ma Futian often travels around various places, and has long been listed as one of the four great folk masters in China, together with the Divine Dragon Lord, the Ghost King Bodhisattva, and the Heavenly Crystal Dharma King.
But he is the only one among them who is a pure native, not an Adventer, nor a Two-person.
What he said is naturally very credible.
For a time, everyone was moved.
Ma Laodao, despite his low qualifications, can actually practice to the lake level.
It relies on slaying demons, benefiting heaven and earth, and gaining merit from heaven.
And they are younger and have better qualifications. If they also accumulate heavenly merits, can't they cultivate to a higher level
If Knight A were to say this, although everyone would be envious, it would be difficult for them to compare themselves with each other, because he is possessed by a divine dragon from the upper world, and there is no comparison at all...
In the past, there were still people who wanted to compete with Knight A in terms of their cultivation speed. After the opponent leveled up all the way, the bosses they killed were more powerful than the others. However, they were not even worthy of carrying the shoes of those bosses who died tragically. Most people gave up on this idea. .
Cultivators still have self-awareness. After all, they have to train their minds and inspect themselves every day.
At this time, a voice finally sounded in the venue.
"Taoist Master Ma showed up and said that it is really a good deed. It seems that in the future, we can't just practice cultivation behind closed doors. We have to go out and do meritorious deeds. The ancients said that cultivation should be out of the world. It seems to be quite reasonable. It is not all falsehood." Someone began to whisper.
"Yes, Taoist Master Ma's inheritance probably pays attention to this point, so we can get closer to the water, get the moon first, and take the first step."
"Hey, rich man, this limelight has been stolen by Lao Ma. You probably have no time to pretend anymore..." the uncle gloated.
"Am I such a superficial person?" Fang Ning asked dissatisfied, and then changed the topic, "Sooner or later there will be a chance for me to pretend, but I don't believe it. They dare to waste my time and invite me over, and just let me sit there. Up?"
"Uh... what you are saying makes it sound like Knight A's great reputation is all due to you." The uncle said very depressedly.
In the venue, there was a lot of discussion and people's hearts were floating.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to lead the way, and it is not easy to be favored by others.
Secondly, you don’t need too many people to lead the way to the upper world. Cultivation resources are always limited, and the remaining people can just work as coolies.
Most of the practitioners present at the meeting still maintained a neutral stance.
Whoever offers more benefits will go with him.
There is no need to talk about things that are destined to lead to death, but you can still talk about things that are not risky.
If you really want to have great benefits, such as heaven-defying skills, immortality elixirs... then you can still risk your life.
In the past, everyone only had a vague idea about the merits of heaven and were not sure. After all, heaven is too far away from many people and cannot be easily accessed.
Now there are finally top cultivators who have made this clear, which naturally makes their minds active.
Everyone knows the power of the four words "if God helps". Someone can win 5 million by buying a lottery ticket. On the contrary, it means "misfortune comes from the sky". Some people just sleep at home and go outside to get into trouble. Got into a car and was killed innocently...
These are all things that really happened in reality and were on the news.
But now, this "heaven" is conscious. It is no longer the case before. Any coincidence can only be explained as luck, probability, or even chaotic effects...
Xie Dong, Ma Futian, a team leader of the truth-clarification office, and a lake-level expert all clearly stated the truth, "People help God, and God helps people."
Then the problem is about to arise.
How can we help God, get twice the result with half the effort, and truly gain the merits of Heaven
So someone raised their hand to ask a question.
Xie Dong nodded and stretched out his hands, acting like a spokesman.
"Hello, thank you, team leader. A sage once said, 'If you intend to do good, you will not be rewarded even though it is good; if you do not have the intention to do evil, you will not be punished even though you are evil.' We now make it clear that we are doing good deeds in order to obtain the merits of heaven. Will the Tao of that day not reward us?"
This is a very young man, probably only around 20 years old. At such an age, he can reach the pond level. He can be said to be a wonder of China and loved by heaven and earth.
Xie Dong smiled slightly. He liked technical problems like this the most, which meant that everyone's thinking had been slowly changed by him to the right path.
He immediately said: "I think no one is qualified to answer this question except the Venerable Shenlong... We also ask the Venerable to clear up our doubts."
Fang Ning was secretly happy when he heard this, his face was calm, and he stood up straight away. He was not in a hurry to answer the question, but waved his hands around, fully enjoying the complicated looks of everyone looking up at him with expectation and envy.
The uncle was equally jealous and said: "Are you okay? Don't be embarrassed if you can't answer. You sleep in all day long. You were still asleep before coming here. You haven't done any preparations."
"I have tens of thousands of Dragon Prison support groups. If I can't answer a question, others won't be able to answer it either, so there is absolutely no shame." Fang Ning said plausibly.
As he spoke, he immediately secretly notified Anderson in the system space to send the questions and let the gods do the questions.
"..." The uncle had nothing to say and suddenly said, "So, I don't need you to answer this question now."
"Uh..." Fang Ning was dumbfounded and had nothing to say.
He was afraid of hearing a managed system prompt, but after waiting for a while, there was no such prompt.
"Hey, why are you so obedient this time?" Fang Ning was very surprised, but also a little relieved.
"Well, I won't waste my training time on such boring meetings. I'm not like you. Pretending or not doesn't mean anything to me." The uncle said with great disdain.
"Well said, now you finally understand the division of labor between us, I am very relieved." Fang Ning said proudly.
Since the gesture had been made, Fang Ning had no time to talk nonsense with the uncle. At this time, Anderson had also prepared the cheat sheet.
After looking at it, Fang Ning cleared her throat, and then she started to pretend, no, she started to answer the questions.
He only said eight words.
"The way of heaven is to ask about the effect, not the cause."
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
