After persuading the fifth younger brother and younger siblings, Qingxuan went to the home of Seventeenth Aunt Chen Changsu again, and explained the truth to the Seventeenth Aunt's family to dispel their thoughts.
After that, he returned home again.
After returning home, he found that his daughter Chen Congmiao was no longer at home. He said that he and his nephew Chen Congyu were discussing how to play meaningfully, so that they could have both fun and cultivation.
Seeing this, Qingxuan shook his head, walked to his wife, and held her in his arms.
Feeling the softness on his wife's body, he took a deep breath and sighed: "Is this the difficulty you said at the beginning?"
In a trance, Chen Qingxuan seemed to have returned to the past. At that time, his wife told him when she heard about the new road for the first time, and said that the new road was indeed very good, but there were many problems in it.
At that time, Chen Qingxuan asked, since all the major sects knew the new way, why didn't anyone use it? He didn't understand it before, but now when he encountered the problem of his daughter Miaomiao, he suddenly realized that this fortress was actually breached from the inside.
That's right, only using top-grade elixir can reduce the time required for cultivation by more than half. Those big sects that have been established for many years must have more methods, and there may even be secret methods that specialize in breaking through foundation establishment.
In this way, you only need to take a little pill every day, and you can complete all the homework after one or two hours of hard work. Who would care about brainstorming for four or five hours a day? This is just like the time of Blue Star. The rich generation worked hard, and the rich second generation will naturally not do the hard work that the rich generation did.
Enjoy happiness and enjoyment, this is human nature.
This is true for ordinary people, so it is naturally similar for cultivators.
Just like what the siblings Rushuang said, they worked so hard not only for themselves, but also for the better life of the next generation?
In this regard, Youning gently touched her husband's cheek, and said distressedly: "This is human nature, and it cannot be stopped at all!"
In her narration, the path of the soul has actually been widely circulated, at least the major sects and major families have promoted it with the whole family and clan.
Therefore, the rise of those aristocratic families and sects was forged.
But it's a pity that like the Five Elements Island, shortly after the rise, or even the second generation after the rise, fewer and fewer people choose the path of the soul.
As we all know, in the path of intellectual curiosity, the cultivation efficiency is directly related to the number of participants. Without the addition of new people, the development efficiency of intellectual curiosity will be greatly slowed down.
If the number of people is not enough, there is simply no way to support the further differentiation and growth of the skills of cultivating immortals.
Let alone growing, it is a huge problem to maintain it without shrinking.
But we must force the younger generations to participate. The spiritual path is a cultivation method that pays great attention to subjective initiative and subjective thinking. Therefore, as the family and sect develop faster and faster, the spiritual path gradually disappears. Only a few who are truly interested are left hanging on.
But how can that little person support a complete cultivation skill? Like the Five Elements Island, in terms of arithmetic alone, 4 to 10 people have been invested, and the related supporting industries involve a wide range of industries, with a population of more than [-].
Food, clothing, housing, training of the next generation, education, care for the elderly population, which of these does not need people to do it?
And if these ordinary people are replaced by cultivators, even if the cultivators' thinking activity is greatly improved because of cultivation, it will require at least tens of thousands of monks, right? With tens of thousands of monks, this is considered a medium-sized sect.
And if you add other skills, this is a proper large sect.
In other words, if you don't consider mortals and want to maintain a healthy, orderly and sustainable research organization, you will need at least tens of thousands of monks.
Tens of thousands of professional researchers!
How many sects can maintain this scale?
After maintaining it, how to ensure the interests of the researchers and the interests of their next generation are all difficult problems.
"So, now, apart from a few sects such as Wanfazong, the general sects also organize a small organization such as Secret Research Pavilion, Gongfa Pavilion, and Seminar.
Occasionally, when they encounter problems, they will also come to a Dao discussion conference to thoroughly clarify the problem. "
Qingxuan fell silent after hearing the words.
It seems that this human heart is indeed the main reason for the decline of the spiritual path.
"People's minds change!"
(This is the same as the reality. If you can enjoy the blessings, who is willing to study hard, who is willing to work in a factory, and who is willing to work overtime all day long)
Qingxuan sighed, and asked tentatively: "Youning, tell me, is it possible to enforce it through compulsory measures?"
"Forced? What do you mean?"
You Ning's heart skipped a beat, wondering what her husband was thinking about...
"That's right, it's mandatory! Let's issue a clan rule directly, all clansmen who want to practice must follow the spiritual path. Save me trying to persuade them one by one!
Look, is this perfect? "
"You...you..."
Yunin was speechless.
You have the nerve to talk about this completely tyrant behavior.
Are you really not afraid that your descendants will dig you out of the grave and leave you dead in the wilderness?
Aren't you afraid that they will curse you every night, call you cruel, ruthless, and tyrannical? In this regard, Chen Qingxuan said that his move is for the good of future generations.
"Think about it, with our family's conditions, if they don't take the spiritual path, can they build a foundation and break through the golden core?
Just thinking about enjoying happiness, but never thinking about the future? Besides, our parents, our nine aunts and nine uncles, and the group of grandparents and grandparents, they can't do without the third-level seal tree.
But where does the third-level sealed sacred tree come from? It's not about relying on everyone to work hard and contribute together.
Now that you are thinking about enjoying yourself, what will you do in the future? Also, when we get old in the future, when Xiao Miaomiao is also old, if we can't realize the true meaning, then is it necessary for the fourth-order sacred tree to seal Shouyuan?The fourth-order sacred tree is more expensive, and we don't even have a clue now, do you think it can be rested? "
Chen Qingxuan said that he is a person who wants to become a fairy, and everyone is resting, so what should he do? Regarding this, You Ning said: "You just think too much! Everyone has their own fate. Parents and Xiao Miao Miao, they will not blame you!"
"It's not a question of whether it's weird or not. I don't want to be alone. I want to leave everything I have now. These are all necessary!"
"So you just want everyone not to give up? You're unrealistic!"
Although Youning also admired her husband's ambition and moved her husband's affection, but still the same sentence, this is not realistic at all.
Otherwise, there were so many forces practicing the spiritual path back then, why are there only two or three left?
"It's man-made!"
Qingxuan sighed.
In fact, he also knows that even if this rule is really written into the family rules, it probably won't last long, but at least, it is enough for him to see it when he is alive.
As for the future, he is dead, and he is still afraid of shit.
However, considering that it may indeed be a bit unhuman, Qingxuan added: "Well, let's temporarily stipulate that we will reach the foundation building stage now. All clan members must embark on the foundation building stage through the spiritual path, but they can choose to take other routes independently.
In the early stage, we will not give resources directly, not even a penny, and see what they do. "
Hearing this, You Ning shook his head and smiled, "Be careful of your grandchildren and nephews secretly scolding you.
And it was your grandson who took the lead himself! "
"You can scold me, I'm not afraid! But whoever dares to say it to his face, I will beat him in front of him. You know, in our family, I am the strongest!"
Qingxuan is a little proud.
Since he had the Five Elements Sky Wheel and was promoted to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he has been firmly seated as the number one expert on Five Elements Island, and he is still afraid of others, just kidding.
(Of course, deep down in his heart, Qingxuan automatically excluded his wife.) (This is a big boss, and he is a member of his own family, so he doesn’t have to count!) Youning didn't say anything more about Qingxuan's thoughts, but just told him to be careful and stop having , the next generation would really throw his tablet into the latrine.
Qingxuan just laughed it off.
Of course, after all is said and done, You Ning and her husband Qingxuan discussed the specific strategies of this regulation together to make everyone less resentful as much as possible and make this regulation last longer.
At the back of Lianhua Mountain, Chen Congmiao, who was chatting with her brothers and sisters, had no idea that her father and mother had teamed up to plot against her unborn children and grandchildren.
……
Time passed quietly, and soon came the next day.
In the early morning of this day, Chen Qingxuan was just going to find his grandfather Chen Wanzhou to see his opinion, but unexpectedly received a voice transmission from his old man, telling him to go to the back mountain.
Regarding this, the husband and wife stared wide-eyed, not knowing what the old man meant.
Lianhua Mountain, the back mountain.
When Qingxuan came, he saw that his grandpa Chen Wanzhou had already been waiting here.
And there is no one else around except the old man.
Knowing that the old man was looking for him, Qingxuan puffed up his chest and walked over calmly.
When he came to the old man, he did not speak, but looked at the rising sun in the sky in silence.
After a long time, the old man said: "Qingxuan, you are nearly sixty now, right?"
"This year happens to be 59!"
"59, in the past, has been the most stressful and uneasy year for us. But now, you have entered the middle stage of foundation building, and you have become a famous general."
Chen Wanzhou said with emotion.
Putting it aside in the past, because the deadline for foundation building is approaching, monks at this stage are doing their best to fight hard for the last chance to build a foundation.
Or find someone to find a relationship and get a Foundation Establishment Pill;
Or adjust your mentality and plan to use [Pulse Protecting Pill] to fight again; Or, give up early and wait silently for the arrival of the last moment...
Unlike now, their people no longer worry about the foundation building bottleneck.
Because, by this time, all the tribesmen had already become the previously elusive goal - Master Foundation Builder.
And the foundation of all this lies in the junior next to him.
It was he who discovered the new way, the way of the soul, and invented the "Tongdao Enlightenment Method", which led to everything that followed.
Up to now, in less than 50 years, their Five Elements Island has become one of the top forces in Qiansha Islands, and is no weaker than the other two Jindan forces.
Regarding all this, Chen Wanzhou, as the patriarch, feels the most deeply.
In more than three hundred years of existence, the Chen family has been so prosperous and powerful for the first time.
In fact, apart from the first generation of ancestors, this was the first time that any of their tribesmen had reached the middle stage of foundation building.
For the first time, he has the perfect foundation-building strength, even the golden elixir realm strength.
It is the first time to practice spells to perfection, and it is the first time to have a second-order spiritual root, and it is even possible to have a third-order spiritual root.
All in all, the development in less than 50 years is several times, even dozens of times, that of the past.
And the reason for all of this is this seemingly ordinary junior of Wulinggen.
To be honest, if Chen Wanzhou hadn't experienced it himself, even if he died, he wouldn't believe all of this. All of this is too mysterious and ethereal, he is unbelievable.
Thinking of this, Chen Wanzhou sighed again.
"Qingxuan, I heard that you went to persuade Qingshan and your Seventeenth Aunt yesterday?"
"Grandpa, it's like this..."
Immediately afterwards, Qingxuan recounted the previous events one by one.
I found out that my daughter had similar thoughts, so I became alert and went to comfort her.
In the end, he also spoke out his coercive measures.
Hearing this, Chen Wanzhou smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Instead asked:
"Have you ever thought about a question, our generation can understand you, Miaomiao can understand it, but what about the next generation, the next generation after that, will they understand you?
They will only scold you for looking for trouble for nothing. Obviously there is an easy way, but they just want to torment them and watch them act like cows and horses.
They will also say that you are unqualified and have become a stubborn old man who simply cannot adapt to the new era.
Wait, wait, there are many more.
Are you really ready? "
Upon hearing this, Qingxuan paused for a moment, then looked at the rising sun on the horizon and said: "Grandpa, have you ever been to Ziyun City?
In fact, since my grandson formed the Fuwei Army, people have said that I have killed too much, that I am cruel and ruthless, and that I do not show affection.
But without exception, they can only talk, they dare not come out to stop them, and they can't stop them.
They are like this, and so are the descendants of our family. "
"But they are outsiders!"
"Whether it's outsiders or relatives! To me, it makes no difference!"
Qingxuan said that even his relatives, even his descendants, could not stop him.
Seeing that his mind was so determined, Chen Wanzhou sighed slightly, "You really are fit to be a general!"
No wonder those people outside complained that the great-grandson of his family was too lenient, but they only dared to mutter a few words in secret, and pretended to be grateful on the surface. Strong, too resolute.
What's the use of nagging you, people don't pay attention to you at all, you are just asking for boredom! What's more, people with a discerning eye can see that the great-grandson Qingxuan's move is indeed beneficial to the order of the entire archipelago, so his great-grandson has quite a lot of supporters.
Some people really dare to talk nonsense, and some people help teach them a lesson.
Thinking of this, Chen Wanzhou's anxious heart was relieved.
"Qingxuan, are you interested in becoming the clan leader?"
"Grandpa, what does this mean?"
Qingxuan didn't know why.
Isn’t it true that my great-grandfather was a good person? Why did he suddenly no longer want to be one? Besides, the fifth brother Qingshan has long wanted to be the leader of the clan, saying that he is willing to devote his whole life to the family. It seems inappropriate for him who only considers interests!
Regarding this, Chen Wanzhou said: "You are almost sixty now, and my grandfather and I are almost two hundred years old.
With only 50 years left, Grandpa Grandpa has no confidence in completing the foundation-building stage.
Therefore, Grandpa thought, go to stay under the sealing tree earlier, so as to last for a while.
Wait until you have paved the road thoroughly, and then wake up grandpa and grandpa. "
"Grandpa, I'm always strong, I'm sure you can do it!"
Chen Wanzhou shook his head, and said again: "What's more, the development speed of our Chen family is really too fast, and grandpa can't keep up with the times.
Only under the leadership of young people like you can the family become stronger and stronger.
Qingxuan, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility? "
"Grandfather, where is the green hill?"
"I'll talk to him personally over at Qingshan. Compared to you, his temperament is too gentle, I'm afraid he won't be able to control this big mess!"
"This……"
