Chapter 34 Everyone Wants to Join the System

"I learned it when I watched Master doing morning lessons."

Uncle Jiu was silent.

He hasn't started teaching Lin Yu how to read.

The so-called morning prayers are just that sometimes I wake up in the morning and recite the Taoist Sutra and Lin Yu hears it.

Can you learn to read in this way?

Maybe you can learn to read the words after listening to the recited sentences, memorizing the pronunciation in your mind, and then comparing the Taoist scriptures word by word.

Although this is still incredible.

But when it comes to Lin Yu, everything seems reasonable again.

"Yeah, okay."

Uncle Jiu nodded and said nothing more.

"This "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" is the fundamental method of our Maoshan sect. After accepting a disciple, Maoshan disciples must first report it to the Patriarch. Only after gaining the Patriarch's approval can the disciple be truly accepted as a disciple."

"After getting started, let him do chores for a few years, practice martial arts for a few years, recite Taoist scriptures, and learn scientific rituals. Only after getting approval from the master will the "Shangqing Great Cave True Sutra" be passed on to him."

"From now on, I will understand this true scripture, practice according to the true scripture, and slowly accumulate magic power."

Uncle Jiu looked a little lost as he spoke.

"A hundred years ago, it often took 100 days to recite this scripture, accumulate a hundred strands of mana, and officially become a Taoist priest."

"This is what people often call a hundred days of foundation building."

"Does it have to be a hundred days?"

Lin Yu asked curiously.

Uncle Jiu nodded and shook his head.

"I don't know what it was like in ancient times. It would take at least 300 years, and the fastest would be 100 days."

"How long did it take Master?"

"It took me one hundred and forty-eight days back then, and I ranked second among my fellow students. It was considered relatively fast."

"Master is only second?"

Uncle Jiu's expression became more serious.

"My senior brother, your senior uncle, spent one hundred and forty-two days that year. Among all the sects in the world, the only ones who can be stronger than your senior brother are probably the people from Longhu Mountain."

Lin Yu nodded repeatedly, with a look of admiration on his face, and his emotional value was filled with Uncle Jiu.

"So, Master is also a top-notch genius in the world, and there are very few people who can compare with Master."

Uncle Jiu felt very comfortable looking at Lin Yu's adoring eyes, and felt secretly happy.

Then he sighed with pretense of regret.

"It's a pity that senior brother and I were not born seventy years earlier."

"So what if you were born seventy years too early?"

Lin Yu asked.

Uncle Jiu said: "More than seventy years ago, foreign invaders invaded, the court was incompetent, ceded territory to pay compensation, lost power and humiliated the country, the territory of China was incomplete, the dragon veins were damaged, and the spiritual energy leaked out."

"If I had been born seventy years earlier, maybe my senior brother and I would have had the opportunity to attack the real hundred-day foundation."

Lin Yu was shocked, as if he had heard some incredible secret.

The imperial court suffered a defeat outside and had to cede territory to pay compensation. Unexpectedly, it would damage the dragon's veins and cause the spiritual energy of the entire world to leak out.

How can a cultivator escape from this world of mortals? Even a hermit in the mountains may have to suffer from the constraints of cause and effect.

When the world is prosperous, everyone will be prosperous, and when it is lost, everyone will suffer.

Taotao is coming, and it is impossible to hide.

At this moment, Lin Yu seemed to really realize the value of the words "not connected with cause and effect."

"In this way, it is beyond the three realms and not among the five elements. How much freedom and freedom is contained in just one sentence."

Lin Yu sighed.

Uncle Jiu is no longer surprised at the maturity of his godson and apprentice.

"It's easier said than done to jump out of the three realms. If you can jump out of the human world, it's like smoke rising from the graves of your ancestors."

Lin Yu patted the "Shangqing Dadong Scripture" on the table.

"Based on this, can you jump out of the three realms and not be in the five elements?"

"Yes, maybe a thousand years ago."

"Based on this, coupled with the blessing of Maoshan Patriarch and the accumulation of Maoshan Daozang, can you jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements?"

"Yes, but it would have to be five hundred years ago. There might be a chance."

"What about these five hundred years?"

"You can live forever, but you can't jump out of the three realms."

"How to live forever? Go to heaven or go to hell."

"Establish a system?"

"That's understandable."

Lin Yu patted the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra" on the table, patted Uncle Jiu, and patted his own chest.

"With this plus this plus this, can we escape from the Three Realms, not be in the Five Elements, be free and at ease, and live forever?"

Uncle Jiu was silent.

Lin Yu's talent cannot be said to be unique to him in his life.

Even in the records of their Maoshan dynasties, we haven't heard of many such characters.

What has been mentioned over the past few hundred years has been to build a foundation in a hundred days.

But the foundation must be laid before the 100th day.

There is no one like Lin Yu who has not even finished the basics or even officially started learning the exercises, but his body has already automatically refined the energy to produce ten strands of mana.

But Uncle Jiu still sighed.

"Maybe seventy years ago, your chances would have been better."

"What now?"

"Practice well, do more good deeds, and accumulate merit. If the world between heaven and earth does not continue to deteriorate, you may be able to find an official position in the underworld."

"Can't you go to heaven?"

Lin Yu asked curiously.

"There has been no sign of the gods for many years. The human world seems to be getting farther and farther away from heaven. Even in the underworld, you can only see some ordinary ghosts now."

Lin Yu suddenly thought of some fantasy movies he had watched in his previous life.

Uncle Jiu seems to have a chance to work somewhere in the underworld.

"What about you, Master?"

Uncle Jiu said, "When I was young, I was delayed in my practice because of some things. It's not enough to rely on hard power. I can only accumulate more good deeds in the future to find a position in the underworld."

Uncle Jiu seemed a little disappointed.

But Lin Yu thought he could understand.

Who wouldn't feel disappointed when a cultivator was delayed in practice because of some other things?

"Master, don't worry. When we enter the underworld together in the future, I will protect you."

Looking at Lin Yu patting his chest and making a promise, Uncle Jiu smiled.

"Smelly boy! You think too much. By then, you may not have a higher official position than me."

Lin Yu was a little unconvinced.

"Master, I'm afraid that no one in the world can compare to my talent?"

This sentence was a little arrogant, but it was true if you think about it carefully.

No matter how talented his child is, he hasn't gotten up yet.

"It's a pity that you were born at the wrong time."

Uncle Jiu said with a smile.

"I heard that the immortals in ancient times pursued freedom and ease. Some were willing to be immortals in the mountains, and some were willing to stay in the human world and not go to heaven to be immortals."

"In their eyes, heaven and hell may not be good places to go. After all, they are still subject to constraints."

"But in recent years, the world has changed drastically, and the spiritual energy has been turbulent. How can anyone be free and easy? It is meaningless and wishful thinking to want to go to heaven and become a god."

"Even the lowest official position of the underworld ghost messenger is still being fought for by countless people."

"If it weren't for our Maoshan's face, even your master might not be able to get it."

"One carrot, one pit. There are fewer and fewer positions, and more and more people want to squeeze in. You are indeed very talented, but do you really have the ability to overturn this world?"

"Times have changed, and there are no positions in the underworld that can provide you. You can be happy if you can get a position as a ghost messenger."
