One hundred and ninety-three, the residence of the Immortal Sect outside the world
Zhu Lingwu's gaze looked from the three peaks to the rest of the inner region of Qinghua Gate, but found that in the col between these three peaks, there was actually a hidden mountain village like a peach blossom source.
Most of the houses in these mountain villages are in the form of carved wooden and bamboo buildings, but they are neatly built in the flat slopes of the mountain cols.
Around these houses, there are also patches of mulberry trees, green bamboos, and some interconnected ponds with pale green water spirits.
If it weren't for the attack of the foreign demon gate now, Zhu Lingwu could have imagined a picture of a paradise with houses, strange traffic, chickens and dogs smelling each other, yellow hair hanging down, and enjoying himself.
Judging from the distribution of these mountain villages and the size of the houses in the mountain villages, the population living here is roughly as high as four or five thousand.
Here, maybe it's where the inner disciples of Qinghuamen who are practicing qi and their families live, or maybe there are many ordinary mortals who also live here.
Just like the family of scholars in the world, many disciples of the Immortal Sect outside the world also have to eat, so raising some mortal people can also help these immortal cultivators solve a lot of trouble.
In addition, many trivial tasks of the Immortal Cultivation Sect can also be handed over to these mortal people to do, such as planting spirit valleys, spirit grass, and so on.
Although many things need to be done by the immortal cultivators themselves, letting these mortal people give them a hand can naturally save these immortal cultivators a lot of trouble.
Of course, now there are no figures moving around in these mountain villages, and Yangxu Valley's attack on Qinghuamen has made such a big move, where have these mortal people just joined in.
Since they live within the prohibition of the Immortal Sect outside the world, they are naturally not strangers to monks, perhaps living in a place where the aura is so strong, their descendants can also be contaminated by the aura of heaven and earth, and they also have innate spiritual power in their bodies.
In this way, their heirs may also become disciples of the Qinghua Sect, and from then on embark on the otherworldly path of cultivating immortals.
Maybe these mortal people were originally bred by the relatives and families of the generations of Qinghuamen, and they also have an unclear relationship with Qinghuamen.
But now, naturally, they could only extinguish the lights and candles, close the door, and pray for God's protection, hoping that those demons would not make a move on them mortal people.
But this possibility is really unlikely, it's just that many demon monks don't have time to take care of these mortals, and what their fate will be in the future is really only known to the heavens.
Even the dogs and livestock raised by the people of these mountain villages do not dare to howl and neigh easily, they seem to be afraid, and most of them hide in various corners of the mountain villages at this moment, shivering.
Zhu Lingwu looked at these mountain villages, and couldn't help blinking, it turned out that this was the so-called Immortal Sect Residence of the World, and it didn't seem to have any special feelings.
On the periphery of these mountain villages, hundreds of acres of terraced fields have also been cultivated along the topography of the peaks, and most of the terraced fields are planted with ordinary vegetables, fruits, corn, and so on.
Occasionally, in some terraced fields with particularly strong aura, there are all kinds of elixirs that Zhu Lingwu can't distinguish, but there are obvious flashes of spiritual light in these places, and there should be guards and prohibitions protecting these herb fields.
Looking around, you can see a huge valley in mid-air, and there seems to be a pasture, in which many spirit beasts are kept in captivity.
Zhu Lingwu only now has some understanding of the so-called Outer Immortal Sect station, in fact, the so-called Outer Immortal Sect is not so immortal, that kind of transcendent feeling.
In his original shijie, many novels always describe the Immortal Cultivation Sect as a kind of hall and hall, and those monks live together as if they were living in a large courtyard, which is like an ordinary Jianghu sect stationed in a place.
In fact, the real Immortal Cultivation Sect is not so complicated at all, and it can be said that it is directly reversed.
Those Qi refining disciples who have not built a foundation may be similar to ordinary people in life, so they mainly live in the mountain village-like station on weekdays.
And they can't be like those children of the scholars in the world, who have the privilege of enjoying the service of ordinary people, and more often than not, they just live like ordinary mortals.
Sometimes you need to use your spiritual power to do things that ordinary mortals can't do, so as to exchange everything you need for your life.
It's like planting elixir, which requires them to use spells to divert water for irrigation or something, which is similar to what is said in many immortal cultivation novels, and the disciples in the Qi cultivation period in the immortal cultivation sect have different work arrangements.
Zhu Lingwu had already known this from the memory of the Medicine Master, and the Immortal Sect of the Worldly Outer Realm arranged the disciples of the Qi cultivation period in this way in order to cultivate their hearts.
After all, the road of cultivating immortals is actually extremely difficult, and if you don't know how to endure hardships and stand hard work at the beginning, you will definitely not be able to go too far in cultivating immortals.
What's more, this kind of mortal-like life experience can also understand the natural way of heaven and earth, and it is also rewarding to do nature with your heart.
As for the path of cultivating immortals after building the foundation, the higher the realm, the weaker the mentality towards material needs.
Most of the monks have an indifferent mentality of being at ease with what they encounter, as long as it is a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is strong, or a place where the spiritual veins of heaven and earth gather, they can open up a cave by themselves as a place for their own residence and cultivation.
Just like now, among the two peaks that are being attacked by the demonic monks of the Yangxu Valley, many monks who have built the foundation of the Qinghua Gate are just looking for a place in the various peaks and using their spiritual power to open up a cave, which is their cave mansion.
This kind of cave doesn't need much space, as long as they can refine qi and cultivate immortals in it, as for any other daily necessities, they don't need much.
After the foundation is built, it can clear the valley, and even the excretion of the body is not much needed, the body has turned into an acquired spirit body, and all the turbidity directly turns into filthy gas, which is excreted from the surface of the body.
Even some daily necessities are placed in their storage bags, so naturally there is no need to find a place to put them.
Therefore, most of the immortal cultivators who build the foundation only need to open up a small cave as a cave house, and then set up a ban inside and outside the cave to prevent outsiders from breaking in at will and disturbing their cultivation.
In such a humble environment, they often retreat for years, or even decades, especially when they are impacting any realm, and a retreat of more than 100 years is possible.
And the ancestors of many worldly immortal sects, that is, after cultivating in such a simple cave mansion, felt that this place was good, so they used it as the location of their own inheritance of the Dao system.
In this way, with the growth of the sect, a sect of cultivating immortals was born.
Of course, as the sect grows, some halls and other places will be built, but they will not be too luxurious, at most they will build a hall that can shelter from the wind and rain as a place for preaching and teaching.
Later, if the sect grows and grows again, it will naturally become more tightly organized, and there will be various complex positions to manage the affairs of the sect.
But no matter what you say, it is impossible to create an existence like a secular castle from an Immortal Sect outside the world......
