Chapter 508: Enlightenment, Enlightenment, and Proof of Truth (Part )
Regarding enlightenment, attainment, and proof of the truth, Tang San also thought about this aspect. Although the details were somewhat different from Zhou Qing's, they were basically the same.
He also didn't expect that the mysterious Taoist teachings were actually so simple.
【The truth is in shit! 】
Inexplicably, Tang San thought of this sentence and found that the wisdom of the ancient sages was so great.
This sentence comes from: "Zhuangzi·Knowing the North"
Dongguozi asked Zhuangzi, "What is the so-called Tao?"
Zhuangzi said: "It is everywhere."
Dongguozi said: "It will be possible after a period of time."
Zhuangzi said: "Among ants."
He said, "How can you be so low?"
He said, "In the weeds."
He said, "Why is it getting worse?"
He said, "It's on the tiles."
He said, "Why is it even worse?"
He said, "In the shit and urine."
Dongguozi did not respond.
The "Tao" mentioned by Taoists has never been some mysterious existence, but everything in reality, including ants, weeds, bricks, feces and urine, etc. All existing things have Tao.
Tao is everywhere, but it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive it. The most perceptible changes in Tao are the changes in climate throughout the four seasons, the growth and withering of plants, and the rotation of the sun and the moon.
Therefore, the Taoist practice method, no matter how high or low, strong or weak, must be closely related to the changes in the weather. Therefore, at the beginning of practice, one must sense the changes in heaven and earth and realize the Tao, rather than trying to experience the Tao after success. If one cannot realize the Tao before success, then it will be even more difficult to realize the Tao after success!
But Xuantian Gong does not have such important details...
Either the ancestors of the Tang Clan lost this part!
Either——
The method used by the Tang Sect to obtain the Xuantian Gong was similar to the way he obtained the Xuantian Gong! Otherwise, if the Taoists were interested in passing it down, why would they keep it secret?
Tang San was more inclined to the latter, and the last bit of guilt in his heart gradually disappeared...
···
Tiandou City.
The qualifying round has ended and the next step is the promotion round.
Unlike the preliminaries, the qualifying round is an individual competition. Although the participating teams still send seven students to participate, they compete one by one. The winner continues to stay on the field, and the loser continues to send students until all the students on one side fail.
The promotion tournament will rank the teams that have passed the qualifiers to facilitate byes in the finals, with no eliminations.
"Brother Qing, since there is no elimination, what is the purpose of the promotion match?" Wang Sheng wondered, "What's the point of ranking in advance? Won't we still have to play again when the finals start? Isn't it because we can get a bye in the finals that we have to play against other teams?"
There are six rounds in the finals.
In the first round: Tiandou Royal Team 1, Xingluo Royal Team 1, and Wuhun Hall Team have a bye, and the other teams compete for the remaining 15 qualifying spots.
In the second round, the top two teams in the promotion matches of the two empire divisions had a bye, and the three teams that had a bye in the first round joined in, making a total of sixteen teams competing for eight qualifying spots.
Round 3: Counting the two teams that had byes in the second round, there will be a total of ten teams. The top two teams that have not had byes will have byes, and the other eight teams will compete for four spots. Round 4: The top six will compete to determine the top three. No more byes!
The fifth round of the finals will adopt an individual promotion system, with the top three deciding the first place.
The two losing colleges will decide the second place.
Final round: The first and second place players will face off in a team battle.
Anyway, in Wang Sheng's opinion, although the bye can allow the team to rest and wait for the opportunity, fighting one-on-one in the promotion match just for the bye is really a bit...unbearable.
"To select talents for the empire."
Zhou Qing explained, "Brother Wang, have you forgotten what I said before? The purpose of the Continental Elite Competition is to allow outstanding students from various colleges to showcase their talents, but in essence, it is a conference to recruit outstanding spirit masters."
"It's actually the same as ordinary people looking for jobs in the city. If you can do it, you can work. If you can't, you can leave. It's that simple. It's just that the scale of this job fair is larger, there are more rules, and after being hired, if you don't want to work anymore, you can't just leave. Otherwise, at best you will be despised by others, and at worst your life will be in danger."
Wang Sheng understood it immediately and suddenly realized: "Is this seeing the big picture from the small?"
"uh-huh."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The governance methods of Tiandou City and Notting City are essentially the same. The only difference is that Tiandou City is much larger than Notting City, so it is more prosperous and has more nobles. Even the major sects have their bases here, and the conflicts of interest between them are more complicated."
Therefore, the Nottingham team will not participate in the promotion match.
In the hotel, after learning that Zhou Qing and others did not plan to participate in the promotion match, Dean Notting was puzzled, but did not refuse. After all, he knew that Zhou Qing and Tang San always had their own opinions, and they also made friends with a Titled Douluo -
"Hey~"
Thinking of this, Dean Notting sighed.
"What's wrong, Dean?" Zhou Qing asked puzzledly.
"Notting College will definitely develop in the future, but I'm worried—"
After this Continental Elite Tournament is over, Notting College will definitely attract a large number of soul masters from all powers to visit, and even a large number of them may stay to serve as teachers in order to find out the reason why Zhou Qing and his team are so powerful.
In this way, Notting College might be able to develop with the help of the knowledge in the minds of these soul masters, but Dean Notting was also worried.
After all, he is only a Soul Master. If the Soul Masters who come are all Soul Sect members or even Soul Kings, how can he manage them?
Gotta provide for it!
Bu Yi is now a Soul Master, but he is easy to talk to, has a good temper, and is quite respectful to himself, but this may not be the case for other Soul Masters.
"That's fine. If they don't obey, we can just fire them. After all, it's not like we at Notting College require them to come to work."
Zhou Qing said that as long as Dean Notting was tougher, they would take action if the other party dared to take action.
Upon hearing this, Dean Notting realized that Zhou Qing and his men really did not intend to join either side, but to establish a force that truly belonged to them at the junction of the two empires where the Holy Soul Village was located. He thought to himself, "Perhaps I should muster up some courage to change..."
Although Dean Notting is nearly thirty years old, he has traveled to larger cities in Tiandou when he took over Notting College from his father. He has extraordinary knowledge and can see some conflicts between the Tiandou royal family and the Spirit Hall. Considering that the Tiandou Empire has another hostile country: the Xingluo Empire.
hiss--
If one wants to concentrate on cultivation, their area is indeed safe. Moreover, the road leading to Hanhai City on the west coast and the roads connecting the border towns of the two empires are still being built and improved. Merchants travel frequently, and there have been great changes in the past three years. The marine resources transported from Hanhai City are more than enough for Zhou Qing and others to practice.
In the past, big cities were basically built near soul beast forests and developed relying on the resources within the soul beast forests. Small soul beast forests, or even areas without soul beasts, were mostly backward and poor. Even if there were vast fertile fields, it was difficult to develop due to the heavy grain taxes and the poor living conditions of the farmers.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing and others thought of another way of development, which is to connect the sea and land, and make the exchanges orderly and convenient.
The convenience of traffic and transportation has made Nottingham City have the potential to support a large number of soul masters...
With all these things going on, how could he not trust Zhou Qing and them?
