After the disciples left, Li Jingxin closed the door and moved to the quiet room to start today's practice.With the diligent practice in the past few days, he finally got started with the "Huang Tian Wuwei Sutra", and his overall physical condition also improved significantly. Some of the lesions that appeared after getting older have not occurred for a long time. The body that is aging day by day has a faint feeling of regaining the functions in its prime.

This magical feeling alone made him practice diligently every day, and his admiration for Mrs. Zhang and this Grand Master's Uncle also grew day by day. After all, this was a genuine immortal who showed the way. Although, the Grand Master's Uncle never stopped. I accept the term "immortal" and only say that I am a "practitioner". However, the changes in my body over the past few days cannot be faked...

He understands that this is the real "immortal method". Apart from anything else, the fact that he can now jump to the roof several meters high at will is definitely not comparable to the mundane skills he has seen before.

With the current progress, the so-called realm of being impervious to cold and heat, and leaving no trace on the snow is just around the corner...

In fact, if it weren't for the many worldly things in the temple, Li Jingxin would have wished he could have stayed in the quiet room all day without going out.

When practicing, time always passes very quickly. Unknowingly, the time has come to nearly ten o'clock. At this time, Li Jingxin placed his cell phone on the table beside him and set it to vibrate. Suddenly, it rang. one time.

His brows furrowed slightly, and although he felt a little unhappy, Li Jingxin still picked up the cell phone beside him. The number of his cell phone was not released to the public, and not many people knew it.Normally, most external invitations, interviews, consultations and other such information will be handled by the dedicated Zhike in the temple and will not reach him directly. Those who can know his number are all reputable people. VIP.

When I picked it up and looked at it, I found a new message, but it was from Director Qian of the Bureau of Religious Affairs.

Within the empire's management system, the Bureau of Religious Affairs is the superior agency for all religions within the empire. Although its presence is not strong in daily situations, the higher-level religious figures know how to have a good relationship with these official agencies. Don't offend easily.

Li Jingxin opened the text message and checked it. Director Qian's writing was as steady as his person. First, he specially extended holiday blessings to himself and all the Taoist priests up and down Yunxiao Mountain.Then, he spent some space recalling the previous conversation with Li Jingxin at Yunxiao Mountain, and lamented that he had benefited a lot... Li Jingxin did not read these official words carefully, and directly scrolled down the information...

However, Director Qian's thoughts later left Li Jingxin somewhat confused.

I saw that he suddenly turned the topic to the development of the Spice Islands. In his words, he talked about the spread of "correct beliefs" such as Taoism and Buddhist Buddhism in the Spice Islands, stabilizing the local social environment and reducing the resistance to imperial governance. Great praise and recognition was given.

Then, he mentioned the problem of "obscene sacrifices" that has always existed in the local area, and asked Li Jingxin what he thought about this?

Finally, he also vaguely mentioned that in recent days, the empire has discovered some abnormalities in Nanyang, which are suspected to be related to religious activities. Li Jingxin is a widely influential religious leader in the country and is well-educated. Therefore, the Religious Affairs Bureau, I'd also like to hear his thoughts on this.

Because the matter involves confidentiality, Director Qian will personally visit you on the third day of the new year to discuss the specific situation...

After reading the entire article, Li Jingxin closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

The so-called "obscene sacrifices" include Yuefen sacrifices and sacrifices not included in the rituals.The founding of this dynasty learned the lessons of previous dynasties, and the control of religion was relatively strict. During the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, the "Huang Zhao Sacrificial Code" was compiled, and there were additions and subtractions in subsequent dynasties.On the basis of the "Sacrificial Code", various county annals also compiled their own "Ancestral Temples" and other chapters to regulate the sacrificial activities in various places.

Generally speaking, except for the righteous gods of a few traditional religions, except for the ancestors of each household, only those who have made contributions to the country and the local area can enjoy the benefits of worship in the temple.

PS: Due to sensitive words, Li Jingxin’s disciple Wu Dezhao has officially changed his name to Yu Dezhao. Let me inform everyone that Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord...

Chapter 273: Obscene Sacrifice and Righteous Faith

As the "Sacrificial Code" says: "The husband-sage-king is responsible for the system of sacrifices. If the law is applied to the people, then worship it. If you die and work hard, then worship it. If you work hard, then worship it. If you work hard, then worship it. If you can control the great troubles, then worship it. If you can defend against great disasters, then worship it. Then worship it.”

There are also regulations on the levels of sacrifice that gods of different specifications can enjoy.As the saying goes, the great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.Dazhao is quite cautious in controlling this area.

As for those who offer sacrifices that are not included in the main sacrifices, they are considered "obscene sacrifices".If the local government discovers "obscene worship", it has the obligation to crack down hard.

From a political point of view, this is also to prevent local people from taking advantage of the people's religious piety and turning it into a tool for amassing money, defrauding sex, or even becoming a powerful weapon against the regime. Therefore, people with insight are all It is believed that restrictions on religious beliefs must be strictly controlled.

The Spice Islands, as the latest colony to be incorporated into the empire, are vast in area, and their customs are somewhat different from those in the main area of ​​the empire. A hundred years is not enough time to complete the change of customs. Therefore, after the empire completes its rule, the traditional belief activities of the Spice Islands It has always held a repressive attitude and has not recognized its identity as an imperial orthodox church, and has always regarded it as "obscene priests".

At the same time, in order to completely assimilate this newly incorporated area into the empire's territory as soon as possible, the empire also gave greater support to the missionary work of traditional imperial religions such as Taoism and Buddhism in Southeast Asia. However, local beliefs were suppressed, and foreign After the strong entry of new lifestyles and beliefs, more and more indigenous people in the Nanyang Islands believe in Taoism and Buddhism, and the Nanyang Islands have become the areas with the fastest growing believers of these two sects in recent decades.

As an important sect in Xuanmen, Yunxiao Mountain has also sent a considerable number of disciples to work in the past few decades. Currently, there are palaces and temples on the five largest islands in the Spice Islands.

Li Jingxin knew that what made Director Qian make a special trip to consult would definitely not be literal.He was like a bright mirror in his heart. Due to the death of his master Xiao Daoguang, Yunxiao Mountain may have acquired a mysterious aura in the eyes of some officials. For Yunxiao Mountain, this is both an opportunity and a pressure.

It seems like something happened to the Spice Islands...

In recent days, Li Jingxin had not paid attention to the news about the Spice Islands, so he naturally had no idea what was going on, but he actually worked for the top leader of the Religious Affairs Bureau.He thought for a while and made a call: "Deyun? Yes, it's me. Please ask someone to check the Spice Islands recently. Is there any news? Especially about the 'obscene sacrifice' or abnormal events. All of them are sorted out. Come out to me..."

Wang Deyun is the deacon of Guanzhong Guest Hall. As one of the eight deacons of Yunxiao Mountain, he is mainly responsible for, in addition to the reception and delivery of goods, there is also the related work of organizing and collecting important information. This can be regarded as keeping pace with the times in today's era. A change…

After all, it was a task entrusted by the abbot himself. The relevant information was quickly collected. About half an hour later, a middle-aged Taoist priest came to Li Jingxin's room with a document bag and respectfully handed over the information. Passed it over.

After Li Jingxin accepted the information, the middle-aged Taoist priest withdrew.

Sitting down at his desk, Li Jingxin opened the document bag. Inside was a document with dozens of pages and a tablet computer.

It seems like it's not a big deal... Li Jingxin thought to himself, then he took out the information and started reading from the first page.

He read very slowly, turning back from time to time for comparison. After about half an hour, Li Jingxin finally read the last page of information, then raised his head, closed his eyes and meditated.

In general, the information is a bit confusing. What can be determined here is that what happened on Sulu Island. What can be determined so far is that many roads around the Ammani Resort area are closed. For this reason, the government even The army was mobilized to help with the blockade.

From this perspective, things are definitely not small.

However, regarding the specific incident, there have been many true and false speculations on the Internet. Some of them said that a terrorist attack had occurred, and there were even conclusive claims that terrorists had taken hostages at the Ammani Resort. There have been many casualties.

In addition, it is also said that the Bindale volcano erupted, leading to the humanitarian disaster that was seen.

There is also talk of heavy fog, saying that a strange heavy fog covered the entire area, interrupting communications between the entire resort and the surrounding areas.

There are more than ten kinds of statements like this.

However, the more this happened, the more Li Jingxin understood that things might not be simple.Unlike ordinary spectators, with a master's degree in journalism and communication, he could tell at a glance that a lot of the true and false information was simply released by the authorities to deceive others.

As the saying goes, the best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the ocean.The same is true for information that is trying to be concealed. For some information that is too sensitive, if the official does not want it to be exposed, they will usually use this method to confuse the public so that ordinary people cannot tell which is a rumor and which is false. reality.

Although this method seems old-fashioned, in fact it does have a considerable effect. For example, if Li Jingxin did not obtain certain information in advance, it would be difficult to select the truly useful information in the face of so much interfering information. information.

However, things were different now. Thanks to Director Qian's "tips", it became much easier for him to analyze the data.

Natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and hailstorms were first put aside by him.This is not to say that it is impossible for such a disaster to occur in the Nanyang region, but if it is really just such a disaster, then the Bureau of Religious Affairs will never be alerted, and more civil affairs departments should be involved.

As for terrorist attacks and hostage-taking incidents, he has temporarily ruled them out. For the same reason, if it is such a thing, then the police personnel should be dispatched, and at most some garrison troops. Similarly It is also impossible to alert the Religious Affairs Bureau.

So next, those seemingly innocent "weird events" are actually the most likely.

For example... "Fog", Li Jingxin noticed, one of the incidents described a heavy fog in the Amani Resort area, making the surrounding roads completely impassable.

Li Jingxin analyzed it carefully and copied several pieces of information including the fog incident separately on a piece of paper nearby.

In addition, a piece of information also shows that in the early morning of February 2, a police officer on duty disappeared at the Zhugang Police Station in Zhugang City, Sulu Island. It is reported that both police officers are locals.Missing together with the two police officers was a wooden statue evidence related to a shipwreck.After the statue disappeared, the Zhugang police notified Techa Leyva, one of the survivors of the shipwreck, and then discovered that he had also lost contact.So far, the police have still not found his whereabouts...

Because this case involved the disappearance of a police officer, many news reports reported this incident at the time. It was considered the largest case that occurred in Sulu Island in the past month.

Moving forward, there was a small storm that suddenly formed in Sulu Island in the middle of last month. Since no weather station had predicted the formation of the storm before, the storm caused the disappearance of several fishing boats. .Among these missing fishing boats, only two people survived in the end, and one of them was Techa Leiva who was suspected to be related to the disappearance of the police officers.

Abnormal storm...survivors...disappearance of police officers...Li Jingxin also copied this information and drew a circle...

Finally, he opened the tablet computer, and there was a video stored in the computer. It seemed that it should have been taken by a tourist at the time. The picture was a little shaken, and there were bursts of exclamations all around.

Then I saw a large area of ​​thick haze, an unknown number of kilometers of clouds, being slowly separated on both sides. The cloud waves rolled to both sides, and a huge cut like a knife was opened in the middle...

From that huge incision, you can even see the bright starlight from higher up, falling down...

It's a pity that this video was shot in a hurry after the incident happened. Therefore, without the first half, it is impossible to know from the video what caused such an abnormality.

Li Jingxin watched the video several times, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, and then dialed the phone again: "Deyun? Please help me collect some information about the local religious beliefs on Sulu Island... Yes, the more detailed the better. .”

Zhang Jing sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom of the old house, opened the wishing book in his hand, and checked the latest changes:

"Special event: A supernatural event occurred in Amani Resort on Sulu Island. The event continued to ferment and attracted the attention of many parties. In the early morning of February 2, you participated in the investigation of the event and found that it was caused by worshiping gods. At present, the incident has been resolved. Currently, Amani Resort has returned to normal. During the resolution of the incident, the abnormal phenomena caused were witnessed within a certain range.

At present, this incident has attracted a certain amount of public attention and has been reported by some media.

The incident attracted the attention of relevant departments and launched an investigation.

Your actions have led to major changes in some people's understanding of materialism and Taoism, and have caused a weak disturbance in the underlying consciousness of the world, which is still expanding.

A total of 10952 wishing points were added. "

Chapter 274 Theories to be verified

"Special event: The extraordinary organization Kunlun Sect you established is currently in the development stage. This sect has three members, namely Zhang Taihe, Zhang Jing, and An Huiling.

There is a cave in the sky, which has been initially restored.

There are two preparatory disciples (who have not yet entered the school), namely Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei.

One affiliated sect: Dinghai Yunxiao Mountain, the current abbot Li Jingxin.

Your behavior caused An Huiling, Wei Chengguang, Zhu Yingwei, and Li Jingxin to completely change their understanding of materialism and Taoism, and caused a very weak disturbance in the underlying consciousness of the world.

Your actions have led to the attention of some official authorities and attempts to investigate.

A total of 2500 wishing points were added. "

"Special event: You released original music "City in the Sky", "Flowers Bloom and Old Friend Comes", "Missing Through Time and Space", and "Rotten Grass as Fireflies" on "Shell Music" under the stage name "Yuluo Tianmen".

You and your songs are currently receiving attention on a certain scale, and there is a weak disturbance in the underlying consciousness of the world.

A total of 36224 wishing points were added. (298 wishing points were added yesterday)"

Zhang Jing noticed that in addition to the unexpected new special event that brought him 10952 wish points, a previous entry about the special event in which he established the Kunlun Sect had also changed. In his memory, this was the third time that this entry had changed. Previously, this special event had also changed after Zhang Taihe's awakening and Yunxiao Mountain and his party.It seems that as the "Kunlun Sect" he established gradually grows, the number of wish points obtained will continue to increase.

In addition, what surprised him was that his music career, which he had not been able to take care of recently, was also growing. Compared with before, he had more than 5000 wish points. It can be seen that this should be Over the past few days, my popularity has increased.

For him, the wish point obtained in this piece should be the harvest with the least risk.

In addition, some other projects have also brought him some new income. Now, as Zhang Jing continues to "fiddle", he has a lot of "faucets" in his wish book, many of which can be sustained. It keeps bringing him wishing points. Although most of these faucets are after the hot spots and the flow is not large, they are better than the continuous flow. Overall, it is also a big supplement.

Unknowingly, the total number of his wish points has reached 294361 points. For him, this is already a big number.

At present, the biggest worry before, that is, the side effects of the last wish, has most likely been eliminated.It's just that originally this was going to happen to him, but he didn't expect that it would happen to An Huiling in the end. This also gave Zhang Jing a deeper understanding of some of the operating logic of the wish book.

Judging from the current situation, the wishing book obviously has some strange ability to pull the line of fate, so that the events involved in it can, through various coincidences, eventually involve the wisher, that is, himself.For example, this time, it did not directly affect the side effects on itself, but by dragging its junior sister An Huiling into the abnormal incident, and finally involved itself in the incident.

In fact, he had more or less felt similar to this situation in previous incidents.This also gave him a new understanding of wishing books. He further guessed that under normal circumstances, wishing books would not "create" an event very rigidly, but would give priority to guidance. Let certain "possible events" on the fate line selectively become "facts", which is more like a way of making a big difference.

When Zhang Jing read online novels in his previous life, he once saw a theory of parallel universes, that is, every choice we make now will lead the real world to a different universe.Just like when you go home from get off work, you can take Route A, Route B, or Route C. You can go home by any of the three routes, but the process is slightly different.Then when you make a choice, your future will move towards different bifurcations, and each bifurcation will differentiate into a new universe.

In this world, all kinds of possibilities happen at any time. A butterfly flapping its wings in the Eastern Hemisphere may also set off a storm in the Western Hemisphere. However, some of them have a high probability of coming true, and some of them may come true. The probability approaches infinitesimal. For example, if you go out to buy lottery tickets and win 5000 million, the probability approaches 0.

However, even the smallest probability is still possible, and behind this are countless "parallel universes".

Although it is unclear whether this theory is reliable, it does not prevent him from drawing on some of the ideas in this theory to make his own conjectures.

Based on his current observations, he has some vague guess, that is, whether the wish book guides the realization of such "probabilities" by consuming wish points in some way that he does not know clearly, thus Guide the direction of a certain fate line.Under certain circumstances, if the probability of a certain probability of realization is too low, so low that it is almost "creating" a wish, then the number of wish points that must be spent must be huge.

If his conjecture turns out to be true, it means that the cost of wish points is actually linked to the probability of the wish coming true. From this point of view, theoretically, the wish with a higher probability of being realized will cost less wish points. On the contrary, a wish that seems very unreliable will cost a lot of wishing points.

At the same time, combined with my previous experience, if the wish needs to affect enough people, the number of wish points spent will also be positively correlated.From the perspective of my latest conjecture, if a wish affects enough people, then the fate variables that each person will bring must also increase proportionally. This is why I made such an attempt before, making a wish. Prompt the reason why "this wish will cause obvious disturbances in the world's fate line".

Zhang Jing silently labeled this conjecture as "to be verified" in his mind, and prepared to continue observing...

Jianping is a small city. Like Jingshan, it is an administrative division at the county level. Compared with Jingshan, Jianping has a slightly larger area and stronger economic strength.

Jianping County is about 50 kilometers away from Jingshan County. With today's transportation convenience, it is not very far.The location of the Zhang family's old residence is in Beikou Town, a subsidiary of Jianping.

Chapter 275 Uncle

Beikou Town is located in the northern suburbs of Jianping. When Zhang Jing took a taxi and arrived at his uncle's house, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning.

After his grandfather Zhang Hengbang passed away, his eldest uncle Zhang Yue ascended the throne and inherited the title of baronet from the Zhang family.In order to prevent the family business from being dispersed, most of the nobles in this world and even other countries in the world adopt the primogeniture system.For aristocratic families, other children except the eldest son usually have no inheritance rights. Usually, when they reach adulthood, the family will help them find a stable livelihood and provide them with a living allowance so that they can live independently.Of course, in many cases, they will also become the link and bargaining chip for family activities such as "marriage". Behind such marriages are usually wealthy businessmen or families of the same level.

After Zhang Jing's father and mother "eloped", his grandfather angrily announced that he no longer recognized his son. Although his uncle tried his best to mediate, the furious grandfather failed to change his mind.

However, he didn't say anything to death. Perhaps he was waiting for his father to come back and admit his mistake. However, both father and son had stubborn tempers, and they had no contact with each other since then.On the contrary, the uncle and his father have always been in contact, and they have been trying to bridge it, but they have not succeeded in the end.

Later, after Zhang Jing was admitted to college, his uncle tried to provide some money, but Zhang Jing refused out of pride, so he never took a penny from the Zhang family.

The Zhang family owns a 200-acre farm in the northern suburbs of Jianping County and three shops in the county. It generates an income of nearly [-] million yuan every year. For a family, this kind of income is already considerable. It is wealthy, but for a noble family, it is not enough.

It is said that after the uncle took over the family business, he successively added two shops. However, even so, the Zhang family has faded out of the distinguished circles in Jiangdong Province.

Although Zhang Jing has never really been in the so-called "upper class", he still knows from his father's descriptions and from the film and television works that are all over the street now that if he wants to truly integrate into that circle, there will be many social problems every year. Consumption can never be low.

Not to mention anything else, the luxury cars and servants are a huge expense. In addition, the cost of purchasing various clothing and jewelry, banquets, and gifts... This is also the cost of many nobles or nobles who are not rich. The reason why families are keen on marrying wealthy businessmen.

Zhang Jing took a taxi and drove all the way in from the entrance of the farm. He looked around from time to time along the way. It was not yet the day of spring sowing. There was a layer of white snow on the fields on both sides of the farm. The taxi was driving on the gravel paved road in the farm. The dirt road is slightly bumpy.

The car soon drove to a courtyard about four doors away. At this time, a smiling young man was standing there waiting. He had a jade crown on his head and a gray robe. His face looked similar to Zhang Jing's. Somewhat similar, just more mature.

Seeing this, Zhang Jing got off the car and hurriedly raised his hands as a gift: "Happy New Year, brother Ziyu, why are you waiting outside?"

This young man is Zhang Xin, the eldest son of Uncle Zhang Jing, named Ziyu, and is also Zhang Jing's cousin.He is a kind-hearted person, and his temper is similar to that of his uncle.

"Father was just talking about when you would arrive and asked me to come out and have a look. I saw that you said you were almost there, so I just came out to greet you." Zhang Xin smiled in return and stretched out his hand to greet Zhang Jing to come forward.
