Fulu Rubik's Cube

In the past six months, dozens of sects, families, and casual cultivators have approached him, requesting to join the 'Southern Sect of Xiantian Qi'.

It's just that because of the matter of 'Emperor Flow', the whole sect was busy and didn't take time to respond.

Now Zhang Ke threw this question out, wanting to hear the opinions of everyone in the sect.

Regarding whether the sect should accept outsiders, there are also differences within the Nanzong.

The sect disciples from Dingzhou believed that these outsiders were a mixed bag, and that there was a gap between them and the sect in terms of habits and ideas.

The purpose of joining the sect is only for their own interests, and it is difficult to truly integrate.

However, Suqin Zhenjun, Xin Baoshan and other disciples believed that since the sect wanted to develop and grow, it must have the courage and tolerance to accept all rivers.

No matter why they join the sect, as long as they join, they are a part of the sect, and they can be bound by the sect's discipline from now on.

Practitioners are human beings, not puppets, and no one is willing to pay and sacrifice for no reason.

As long as the Zongmen can handle things fairly and impartially, it will naturally win everyone's heart over time.

They used themselves as an example, thinking that their identification with the sect was no worse than disciples from Dingzhou.

Even Zhenjun Suqin's disciples gave an example of the depravity of the disciples of the previous sect. In that incident, the disciples of the Dingzhou sect were far more depraved than those of the Misty sect.

Therefore, when Zhang Ke made an inquiry, everyone in the hall immediately quarreled about this point.

Zhang Ke watched coldly, and was familiar with the dispute between the two factions.

In fact, the reason for everyone's quarrel is only superficial, and the core reason is because of interests.

The reason why disciples from Dingzhou are unwilling to accept outsiders is simple.

The resources and tasks of the sect are limited, one radish and one pit.

If outsiders join, they will inevitably divide their own part, and they are also worried that these outsiders will become bigger and affect their original authority.

And the reason why Suqin Zhenjun and others' disciples agreed to accept it is precisely because of this.

There are 11 Yuanshen Zhenjun in the door, belonging to outsiders such as Suqin Zhenjun, not counting the fallen Xin Baoshan, there are only Suqin Zhenjun, Shui Xingfeng, and Shi Zhongxiu.

The remaining eight people are all from the Dingzhou lineage.

And through the opportunity obtained from the battle between the Void and the Zerg, Jiuren, Qingmei, and Ding Xiaoxiao all advanced to the 'Five Qi Realm'.

Plus Zhang Ke, who is now in the 'Dongtian Realm'.

Suqin Zhenjun and other people who joined the sect from the foggy secret realm could not compete with the Dingzhou faction in any way.

Although the sect acts fairly, as long as it is a human being, it will show favoritism.

Relatively speaking, the disciples of the Suqin Zhenjun faction are slightly worse than the disciples of the Dingzhou faction in terms of duties, tasks and resources assigned in the sect.

Therefore, the disciples of the Misty Secret Realm faction will naturally feel more and more pressure.

So they are now very eager to bring in people from the outside to dilute the influence of the Dingzhou faction on the sect.

Zhang Ke could see clearly the plans in these disciples' minds, but he would not feel angry or disappointed because of this.

As early as in Dingzhou, the Yuegui family was also suppressed, and it was only after Zhang Ke was promoted to Jindan that all this was reversed.

This situation exists in any sect, it existed in the past, it exists now, and it will continue to exist in the future.

People's hearts will never be satisfied, and all Zhang Ke can do is try to ensure relative fairness.

After everyone's discussion calmed down a little, Zhang Ke said:

"Qingzhi, what's your opinion?"

Xu Qingzhi presided over the affairs of the sect all the year round, and his prestige among the disciples in the sect was second only to Zhang Ke.

So when Xu Qingzhi stood up, hundreds of people in the hall fell silent for an instant.

Qingmei who was sitting next to Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes suddenly, feeling a little afraid of Xu Qingzhi in his heart.

Looking at Ding Xiaoxiao in a blink of an eye, she saw that she was also looking at him. They had been fighting the void together for decades, and the two had already cultivated a tacit understanding.

Just one look has already made the other party understand his mind.

Xu Qingzhi stood on the steps and said to the disciples in the hall:

"About the imminent catastrophe between heaven and earth, some disciples may have heard from the master before.

If you have any questions, you can ask your colleagues around you, so I won't go into details here.

In order to cope with the catastrophe in the future, what we have to do now is to strengthen ourselves at the fastest speed.

Only in this way, will there be a chance to survive the catastrophe in the future.

Therefore, these sects and practitioners who come to our sect from outside will definitely be accepted by our sect. "

As soon as this statement came out, many disciples who were born in Dingzhou couldn't help but feel a little commotion and whispered among themselves.

Since the Zongmen had already made plans, why bother to ask, wouldn't it be superfluous.

Xu Qingzhi ignored everyone's arguments, and continued:
"I have talked with these sects, families and casual cultivators before.

Through a general understanding, it is expected that there will be practitioners from the three ninth-rank sects of 'Fulong Mountain', 'Qianqiu Pavilion', and 'Jiqiaomen' and the lineage of 'Momen' Fenghua and Lingyun Zhenjun.

In these sects, there are nine Yuanshen Zhenjun, more than [-] Jindan Zhenjun, and about [-] innate disciples, most of them come from Fenghua Zhenjun lineage.

In addition, there are seventeen families and more than 1000 casual cultivators who also want to join the sect.

Adding it all up, it is roughly estimated that 2000 or two million people will merge into the sect along with the sect. "

"Hiss—!"

Many disciples in the hall secretly inhaled.

No wonder the sect is so excited, the joining of these sects will immediately double the strength of the sect.

But is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The bucket is only that big, and if you want to squeeze twice as much stuff in, the first question is whether the bucket will burst.

The disciples in the hall couldn't help asking each other to discuss the gains and losses.

"Cough cough!"

True Monarch Baishi coughed twice, stopped the discussion of the disciples in the hall, first looked up at Zhang Ke, and then said to Xu Qingzhi:

"Master Wushuang, it is a good thing to be able to quickly increase the strength of the sect to deal with the catastrophe.

Moreover, after the main gate is moved to 'Crescent Bay', if it wants to develop rapidly, it will indeed require a large number of people to build it.

However, I have some doubts and would like to ask. "

"Speaking!"

True Monarch Baishi slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Our sect was first inherited from the 'Shangqing Sect', and has been adhering to the righteous way for thousands of years.

Perhaps the sect's strength is not too strong, but in the eyes of the world, this sect is also an orthodox sect of Hongmiaozheng.

Whether it is fame or deeds, it is still recognized by the sects all over the world.

I have no objection to accepting other sects to join our sect, but these people are mixed, many of them have extremely bad reputations, and the reason why they joined this sect may be just to take refuge.

If we include these notorious practitioners into the sect just to strengthen ourselves, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the sect. "

Zhenjun Baishi's words touched the hearts of many disciples, and they couldn't help but speak.

"Yes! Once the sect accepts these notorious practitioners, it will definitely have an impact on the ethos of the sect.

Don't ruin a good pot of soup because of a piece of stinky meat! "

"That's right, these people did evil things outside, but instead let our sect take over the karma.

If things go on like this, if such people see an opportunity to join this sect in the future, wouldn't this sect become a place where filth and evil people hide. "

"The disciples think that even if they accept foreign practitioners, they should at least be screened.

Anyone who has violated similar precepts of the sect is not allowed to join. "

"."

While everyone was discussing, Xu Qingzhi said:

"Zhenjun Baishi is right, so I have a new plan."

After looking around the hall with star-like eyes, Xu Qingzhi continued:
"I am going to open the gate of the mountain and openly recruit practitioners.

All practitioners under the Yuanshen realm, as long as they have not violated the thirteen killing precepts, can join the sect after passing the test. "

The so-called 'thirteen killing precepts' refer to the thirteen unforgivable general precepts recognized by the practice community.

The first is 'death to those who betray the human race'.

The rest include bloodthirsty, adultery, deliberate damage to the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, unreasonable harm to ordinary people, refining methods with people, refining tools, alchemy and many other general laws.

Immortal Honghe sitting in the hall couldn't help but said:

"Master Wushuang, there are countless practitioners in the world, if it is open to recruit disciples, most of them will be casual practitioners.

Let's not talk about whether it will cause dissatisfaction with other sects, just talk about the "loose cultivator alliance" and it will be difficult to explain.

What's more, how should so many practitioners distinguish between good and evil, as well as the subtle work of other sects? "

Xu Qingzhi explained:

"The catastrophe of the world is imminent, and there are some things that can't be taken care of.

Now with the strength of our sect, the threats from general sects can basically be ignored.

In addition, the head of this matter has already discussed with 'Yunxiao Tiangong', and they will not interfere too much.

Since it is a casual cultivator, it means that it is a free body, and the "loose cultivator alliance" can't say anything to our sect on the surface.

As for how to screen the practitioners, the head of the sect is going to use the "Dream of the Red Dust" to conduct a questioning test on the practitioners who want to join the sect.

Presumably most of the practitioners who have ulterior motives and have violated the law of killing can be screened out. "

True Monarch Baishi's heart skipped a beat. From Xu Qingzhi's words, he could hear Zhang Ke's encouragement and promotion.

For Zhang Ke, True Monarch Baishi had a complicated heart.

I admire all the incredible behaviors he has made, but I am also afraid of his cruel methods.

Until now, he still doesn't understand why Zhang Ke used the 'Resurrection Grass' to save himself that day.

It stands to reason that his behavior of forcing the palace is far greater than the mistakes made by the red-haired real person.

But the red-haired real person was mercilessly beheaded in the first wave of trials.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Ke's shadow behind Xu Qingzhi, he immediately fell silent.

True Monarch Baishi could see the clues, and the others were not fools, so no one spoke after Xu Qingzhi explained.

Zhang Keji is very powerful, but few people dare to offend him.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, Xu Qingzhi turned to Zhang Ke and said:
"Master, this is the disciple's idea. This time, we will not only accept these sects, families, and casual cultivators who have come to seek refuge, but we must also expand the scale and absorb the elite talents in the practice world to the maximum."

'Hmph, sing together! '

Ding Xiaoxiao let out a soft 'hum' in his nose.

Xu Qingzhi's appearance was so outstanding that even she was a little moved when she saw it, let alone that womanizer in her family.

"It seems that I have to discuss with Qingmei and think of some countermeasures,"

Just when Ding Xiaoxin was in a state of confusion, Zhang Kewen's voice was heard next to his ears.

"Since that's the case, then this matter will be carried out after the sect moves to 'Crescent Bay'.

In addition, Qingzhi notified Fellow Daoist Fenghua and the others to screen the offenders by themselves, and when they suppressed 'Xiao Haiyan', they also needed to do their best. "

This move was not because Zhang Ke deliberately made things difficult for Zhenjun Fenghua and others.

Only by sharing weal and woe can people who don't know each other quickly merge together. The people in the foggy secret realm back then are the best example.

Zhang Ke gave an order casually, and then said the third topic of today.

"One last thing."

As Zhang Ke said, he took out a copper coin from his body.

It is roughly the same size, shape, and thickness as the copper coins used in the secular world, but the concave-convex patterns on them are extraordinarily delicate.

Although it is only a coin in the secular world, it exudes a copper-colored shimmer, which is very eye-catching.

"This is the coin issued by our sect in the secular world.

According to Menzhongdi Bao, these three types of coins are very popular outside the nine counties, and there is a price difference of one to five for the same value.

I would like to ask, what regulations does the Zongmen have for this coin in the future? "

When Zhang Ke returned to the Zongmen a few years ago, he discovered that the Zongmen was promoting new coins in the secular world, so he wanted to ask about it.

Later, because they wanted to go all out to build the 'Dinghaifa Pillar', they forgot about it.

Today I suddenly remembered it, taking advantage of the presence of all the sect's commanders, I asked casually.

As for the new coins, Xu Qingzhi knew the most clearly, because this matter was originally carried out under her urging.

Hearing Zhang Ke's question, Xu Qingzhi immediately took out three kinds of coins, one gold dollar, one silver dollar and one copper coin, from his sleeve.

"Master, there are sixteen types of this new coin.

In addition to the copper and silver coins that are divided into "one wen", "five wen", "ten wen", "twenty wen" and "fifty wen", gold yuan has an additional category of "one hundred wen" on each basis.

There are three reasons why Zongmen refines new coins and promotes them. "

After a slight pause, Xu Qingzhi continued:
"First of all, because of the face value of the old coins, the original coin system in the secular world is also divided into three types, which are also the three-level currency system of 'gold, silver, and copper'.

Taking copper coins as an example, there are only two face values, namely 'one coin' and 'ten coins'.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for a penny, that is, one thousand Wen.

I don't know what causes silver and gold to have only fixed 'five taels' and 'ten taels' shapes.

Except for large-scale transactions, ordinary merchants not only need to distinguish the authenticity of the silver, but also need to equip scissors and small scales when accepting silver taels, which is extremely inconvenient in daily use.

In addition, too rare denominations will consume a lot of gold, silver, and copper.

The face value of the new coins can not only reduce the burden on the people when carrying them, but also operate flexibly and efficiently in transactions.

The most important thing is that the new coins can reduce the loss of gold, silver, copper and other ores.

If new coins are introduced on a large scale, we will be able to recover a large number of old coins, which can be smelted and used in other ways.

Of course, these two reasons are just to facilitate the circulation and operation of the secular world, the most important thing is "

Looking up at Zhang Ke, seeing that his expression was unmoved, he continued:
"The main reason is that coins are arguably the constant substance that humans have the most contact with.

It is neither like food, which will be gone if eaten, nor is it like a house, basically it will not operate in a multi-person room.

Everyone in the secular world has the most contact with coins, and the most circulated coins are also coins.

A coin passes through the hands of many people from the moment it is minted until it breaks.

It is the same as the talisman money used in the practice world, and it has the power of faith on it. "

The power of faith!

This last sentence was the main reason why Xu Qingzhi promoted the new coin.

She is also the True Lord of Yuanshen now, and she has a plan for how to go in the future.

Since coins can gather the power of faith, it may not be impossible to find the way of the "immortal" from it.

Jindan disciples don't have much understanding of the power of faith, and basically can't use it.

In the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect", apart from Zhang Ke who has the priesthood, the only one who can use the power of faith is the "Guardian God".

Newcomers such as Baishi, Shui Xingfeng, Shi Zhongxiu and others looked at each other, and they also didn't know much about the power of faith.

On the contrary, Suqin Zhenjun and Jiuren Zhenjun showed thoughtful expressions.

"Hehehe~~!"

Zhang Ke chuckled twice, looked at Xu Qingzhi and said:

"Qingzhi, there are talisman coins in the cultivation world to accumulate luck, so why do you say that the coins in the secular world also have this function, and other sects turn a blind eye?
Or, for thousands of years, other sects have not discovered that coins in the secular world can gather the power of faith? "

Xu Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his complacency suddenly disappeared.

'Yes!How could other sects not discover the power of faith accumulated by coins? '

If no one has discovered the mystery for thousands of years, Xu Qingzhi would not believe it even if he was killed.

'Could it be that my actions have caused trouble to the sect? '

When Xu Qingzhi was confused, Zhang Ke explained:

"It is no secret that coins in the secular world contain the power of faith, but there is only one main reason why they have not been noticed.

Qing Zhi, have you ever heard of a saying called..."

Zhang Ke looked at Xu Qingzhi, and said word by word:
"Incense is poisonous!"

'Incense is poisonous? '

Xu Qingzhi repeated these four words to himself.

"That's right!"

Zhang Ke explained in detail:
"Coin is a very special item used in transactions between the wanter and the wantee.

After passing through the hands of countless people, the emotions of countless people have been condensed on it.

Including joy, sadness, contentment, greed, jealousy, envy, desire and countless other positive and negative emotions.

For practitioners, this complex, turbid, and strong power of belief will pollute one's state of mind, and in severe cases, it will even affect one's personality.

Many years ago, there was an era of Shinto prosperity in this world.

But in the end, countless Shinto practitioners either went crazy or fell due to the power of faith.

That's why there is a saying that 'incense is poisonous'.

The talisman money in the practice world is different. It uses the sect as the carrier, and through the filter of the 'money tree', the power of faith condensed on the talisman money is purified.

Not only can it be used by the 'Guardian God', but it can also improve the luck of the sect. "

Xu Qingzhi suddenly realized that she was also the new Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

Moreover, Zhang Kelai's study and discussion of Taoism is far less thorough than Zhang Kelai's, and he only has a half-knowledge of some secrets.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked:

"Master, did I make a mistake in promoting the new currency?"

Zhang Ke shook his head and said:

"It's right to be wrong, the power of faith in the coins of the secular world is not so easy to extract.

The biggest problem with your approach is that when you take the initiative to promote new coins on a large scale, it will make other sects think that they have a way to purify the various emotions in coins.

You must know that all human beings in the five domains of the azure world are using coins. If there is a way to purify coins, all sects in the world will covet this method. "

Xu Qingzhi gasped, and instantly understood the importance of this matter.

He couldn't help asking in a deep voice:

"Then what do we do now?"

After Zhang Ke pondered for a moment, he smiled faintly.

"It doesn't matter, it is estimated that you have been noticed as early as when you introduced the new currency.

But our sect has no way to purify the power of belief in coins, presumably it has been seen by other sects after all these years.

This is why even the 'Yunxiao Tiangong' did not come to inquire.

What you have to do now is not to actively promote new coins, just to reduce the loss of various mineral veins.

But don't be so reckless in the future, you are in charge of a sect with tens of millions of people, you should think twice before making any decisions. "

Xu Qingzhi responded respectfully, with a look of guilt and annoyance all over his face.

The reason why Zhang Ke proposed the 'new coin' today was not only to understand the origin of the 'new coin', but also to give Xu Qingzhi some warnings.

Then Zhang Ke asked downwards:

"I have finished the three things I want to say, do you have anything else to say?"

With Xu Qingzhi around, Zhang Ke usually didn't ask about trifles about the sect, but now that they were asking, no one would bother him with trivial matters.

Seeing no response, Zhang Ke said:

"It is a big event to relocate Penglai and Penglai to Crescent Bay this time, and try to involve the secular world as much as possible.

Based on the scale of 200 years ago, it is best to prepare 100 million young and strong, and Qingzhi will organize the people of the nine counties of Penglai as soon as possible.

In addition, Fenghua Zhenjun and others were notified, and 100 million people were also gathered. "

"Yes!"

Xu Qingzhi understands that this kind of big event involving the whole people can bring the relationship between them closer.

Zhang Ke's move is clearly to quickly integrate the people of the nine prefectures of Penglai with the people of other sects.
