Chapter 23, Realm Division
Taoist Master Baiyun said dissatisfiedly: "Blame me? As a teacher, I am one of the bishops of the Qingguo Holy Church, and I have unlimited fame. If you hadn't hooked up with Mingyue, the daughter of the leader of the Qingguo Holy Church, would I have been running for my life as a teacher?"
Qingfeng sneered and said: "How did I hear that you and a concubine of the Adjudication Department were discovered by the Adjudication Department?
I was surprised at the beginning, when did you become so loyal and took me away without saying a word, because you wanted to escape for your own life, so you took me with you by the way."
Taoist Priest Baiyun's eyes were wandering, cold sweat broke out on his nose, and he stammered: "You...how did you know?"
Bang~ Qingfeng stood up suddenly, smashed the plate in his hand, pointed at Taoist Priest Baiyun's nose and said angrily: "Immortal, it really is like this!"
Now that he had broken his skin, Taoist Master Baiyun was no longer afraid. He stood up and said unceremoniously: "It's all my fault? Mingyue is the daughter of the master of the Qingguo Holy Church. She is smart, well-behaved and lovely. Nian Fang has just turned eighteen. How could you do this?
Go? I heard that the leader of the Qingguo Church has already gone to the Holy Mountain. When the time comes, the Holy Church headquarters will issue a killing order. Let’s see where you run away.”
"We are in love with each other. It would be shameless for you and the Secretary of the Adjudication Department to secretly invite me to be my concubine."
The two stared at each other for a while, neither of them convinced, and continued to squat down and wash the dishes.
After the two of them finished washing the dishes, they snorted at each other and left.
Villagers outside have come to offer incense. In the past few days, through Mangshan's publicity, more and more people know that there is a temple here and that no flesh and blood sacrifices are required.
When Taoist Master Baiyun walked out of the backyard, he saw some villagers in rags paying homage to Li Pingan. Li Pingan quickly helped them up and persuaded them to leave.
Taoist Master Baiyun walked up to Li Ping'an and said with a smile: "Master Guan, you are so kind!"
Li Ping'an put his hand on the fly whisk, shook his head and said, "Oh, all living beings are suffering. All I can do is help them where I can. I never thought of being superior to them."
Taoist Master Baiyun nodded repeatedly and said: "The temple master said it well, what he said is great."
Li Pingan turned his head and said with a smile: "What do you want from me?"
Taoist Master Baiyun's face gradually became serious and he said, "Master Guanzhu, I have something to ask you!"
"You come with me!" Li Ping'an turned and walked towards the backyard, followed closely by Taoist Priest Baiyun.
The two came to the backyard pond and sat in the pavilion.
Li Ping'an asked: "What's the matter?"
Taoist Master Baiyun asked quickly: "In the story last night, the temple owner mentioned a saint. Is not only this saint the saint he is talking about?"
Li Ping'an said strangely: "Holy realm?"
Taoist Master Baiyun said: "It is the ultimate state of cultivation, but it is far less powerful than the saint you mentioned, and it is impossible to escape from this world."
Li Ping'an became interested and asked: "I wonder what realms there are in spiritual practice?"
Taoist Master Baiyun said in surprise: "Master, don't you know?"
Li Ping'an said leisurely: "The Sanqing Temple was inherited from ancient times and has not been around for a long time, so we don't understand the division of realms outside. We have always used the division of realms in ancient times."
Taoist Master Baiyun asked quickly: "I wonder how realms were divided in ancient times?"
Li Ping'an said: "Building foundation, golden elixir, Yuanying, transforming into gods, overcoming tribulations, Mahayana"
What Li Pingan said is not false. This is indeed the state of his cultivation that the system told him.
Taoist Master Baiyun was in a trance for a moment and said: "Is this the realm of cultivation in ancient times? It is one level less than the current classification."
"Oh~ How are they divided now?"
Taoist Master Baiyun said respectfully: "Tens of thousands of years ago, there were levels of spirits, ghosts and gods, and cultivators. The divisions were unclear.
So several major holy places held a conference to unify the levels of monks in the world and divide them into levels one to five. Those above the fifth level are extraordinary, and those who are extraordinary are saints."
Li Ping'an murmured: "Levels one to five, transcendent and holy, are indeed one more level than my cultivation level."
Baiyundao asked in anticipation: "Master, what realm are those immortals and gods you mentioned? And what are saints?"
Li Ping'an came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, don't say it! You just need to know that it is far more powerful than the Holy Realm."
Taoist Master Baiyun nodded regretfully, then stood up, knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Master, I have something to ask for. Can you teach me the scriptures you recited this morning?"
Li Ping'an stretched out his hand to support Taoist Master Baiyun and laughed loudly: "Baiyun, since you are an outer disciple of my Taoist sect, of course you must always recite scriptures. Even if you don't say it, you won't be able to escape. Get up quickly!"
A hint of joy flashed across Bai Yun's face, and he said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Master!" He stood up.
Li Ping'an stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's go see the believers outside!"
"Yes!" Taoist Priest Baiyun stood up and followed Li Ping'an and walked out.
A month passed slowly. Qingyu, Qingxue and Qingfeng all learned Tai Chi and memorized the Jade Emperor Sutra. They looked like Taoists. However, Qingfeng, a Taoist, was a bit too handsome and often attracted people who came to offer incense.
Men and women strike up conversations, which makes Li Pingan very unhappy.
…
A few miles away from the foot of Sanqingguan Mountain, there is a village. In the village, houses are built with stones and trees. Some of the houses were built with wooden frames on which animal skins and herbs were dried.
A few women were polishing weapons in the village, and there were some naughty children running around in the village. It was peaceful and peaceful.
A woman looked at several children running by and said with a smile: "How long has it been since we heard the laughter of children in the village!"
A woman next to her nodded repeatedly and said with lingering fear: "That hateful snake demon is finally dead."
"I heard that the one who killed the snake demon was the master of Sanqing Temple!"
A woman's eyes lit up and she said, "I went to the Sanqing Temple and offered incense to the Sanqing Taoist ancestor, asking him to bless me with a fat boy."
"I'm going too!"
"I went there too, and I felt the eyes of Sanqing Daozu, so kind and kind!"
"I feel it too~"
"Shall we go together tomorrow?"
"OK!"
"OK!"
"Should we bring anything? The gods in Sanqing Temple do not accept flesh and blood, nor do they require other sacrifices. I feel a little embarrassed every time I go there."
"That's right! Without sacrifices, will the gods really bless us?"
"Then let's bring some food! Even if Taoist Sanqing doesn't need it, we can still give it to the Taoist priest in the temple!"
"Speaking of Taoist Priest, Taoist Priest Qingfeng, do you think he is a boy or a girl?"
"male!"
"female!"
"It must be a man, his chest is so flat."
"Impossible, how can there be such a beautiful man in this world? He must be a woman, or a girl from a wealthy family."
