1792_ big things, small things

In daily divination, Gian Tianmen is often unreliable. Losing in divination competitions, losing bets with others, and even opening a bet by yourself can cause the dealer to lose. However, there is one thing that makes everyone not question Ghou Tianmen: Catastrophe.

The three catastrophes that have swept the world so far, each of which is a warning from peeping at the gate of heaven, and each warning has allowed the cultivation world to retain the foundation of inheritance. This is the feeling that the entire cultivation world must inherit.

Therefore, some people say that for the Sky Gate, just believe in big things, and don't bother those great gods with small things. The great gods of Sky Gate are listening to sleepwalking in heaven and earth every day.

Ran Xun: "There are so many fortune tellers... But, is that person a mortal?"

Me: "Yes. Divination competitions allow mortals to participate." It should be said that most of the monk competitions, except for those who are restricted to participate in Jindan or Nascent Soul, allow mortals to participate, because many competitions require participants to cultivate. The requirements are: no more than xx period.

No more than the Golden Core Stage, no more than the Foundation Establishment Stage, no more than the Qi Training Stage, all of which include mortals without cultivation.

Many competitions that include a certain profession in their names do not actually require the occupation of the contestants. For example, in the Pill Cultivation Contest of the Medicine Sect, sword cultivators can participate if they want to. Zou Huan just participated in the reappearance of the side event of the Pill Cultivation Contest Tongming fruit competition?Therefore, the Pill Cultivation Contest is often referred to as the Pill Contest when it is mentioned more strictly. Of course mortals can do it.

There is no occupational restriction because many monks have a minor occupation, or even do not have a minor, but they only have special research on a certain aspect of a certain occupation. Of course, there is no reason to exclude such people from the competition; Only the highest level of cultivation is allowed, low cultivation level can sign up for the competition at will, because the comprehension world respects the victory of leapfrog challenges, and gives sufficient opportunities to show the ability of leapfrogging.

Winning by leaps and bounds not only demonstrates the winner's own abilities, but the way in which he wins is also inspiring to others.Since this method allows this low-level monk to defeat a high-level monk, then if a high-level monk uses this method, theoretically speaking, it should be stronger?

Continuously learning, summarizing, and passing on to make cultivation more perfect is a good thing for the entire cultivation world. The bad thing is that it also makes it more and more difficult for leapfrog challenges to occur, and there are fewer surprises.

1793_Reputation

Um?Why do other people use the fighting methods that others have developed?

First, if you show it, you must be prepared to be imitated. It is unrealistic to expect others to learn it, or to learn it but not to use it; second, other people are learning, not copying, and it is impossible to copy. The way of fighting combines this person's Tao, which is unique. If others want to use it, they must modify this way of fighting to make it suitable for their own way, and there is a process of reprocessing; To explore this method, you must pay an invitation fee and an explanation fee. Putting this fighting method and its derivatives in the name of the original creator will greatly enhance the person's reputation.

Don't underestimate the prestige thing. Although there seems to be no immediate physical benefits, when there is a need, such as when you need to ask for help from a certain sect or grab tickets to a secret realm, people with prestige have more advantages than unknown people. And then in exchange for real benefits.The in-kind benefits in exchange may bring more prestige in the future, so that they can get more benefits in the future.This is a treasure that can be accessed for a long time.So many monks are very concerned about face, especially the big sect, sometimes they would rather sacrifice some face for the sake of face.

——Of course it is best to save face and face.Also pay attention to the difference between real prestige-style face and false name-style face that no one actually buys. The latter can be given up. Our Yunxia Sect often... cough, it’s actually the same as peeping at Tianmen, and the daily small embarrassment will not waver Their fundamental authority in divination can also appropriately shorten the distance between them and believers...and ordinary people who do not have the understanding of divination.

Although mortals are allowed to participate in monk competitions, in fact, in most cases, mortals can only join in the fun if they participate, there is no possibility of winning, and they have to make a lot of preparations and invest a lot of money in order to prevent being accidentally injured.Except for local tyrants who have too much money to burn, and operators who are rich and powerful to promote publicity, mortals generally don't play like this.

But the divination competition, also called the fortune teller competition, this competition...

First of all, it is relatively safe. Compared with sword repair competitions and Dan Xiu competitions, divination competitions mainly show eloquence and do not use martial arts. Since it is not easy to check right or wrong for a while, everyone is more calm;

Secondly, in divination competitions, no matter what method the fortune-teller uses, they only need to give guidance on a specific thing, so even if the contestants don’t bring any tools, it’s okay to say that they only rely on their brains to make up the future. , talking nonsense, if you can’t say it, you can’t say it, and if you say it, you can earn money, which saves money;

Finally, and the most crucial point, the accuracy of monk fortune-tellers' deduction of the future is actually not much higher. Sometimes mortal gods can calculate more accurately than monks by relying on life experience, so they win, and win The odds are not too low. Sometimes Duo Meng wins a few rounds, and he may be spotted by the monk fortune teller, thinking that this person has savvy.

1794_Invitation

If they fancy a mortal who is very enlightened, the monk fortune teller will invite: "Come to my sect to practice for a few years and see, maybe you can succeed."

Mortal magic stick: "I tested it, I don't have spiritual roots."

The monk fortune teller magic stick: "Hey, divination doesn't depend on that, we rely on understanding."

The mortal god stick: "Didn't it mean that no matter how good the understanding is, at least the five spiritual roots are necessary to cultivate?"

Cultivator fortune teller magic stick: "There is such a saying, but there is no loss if you try it, our sect provides food and shelter. Has the young man fallen in love? If not, when you fail to practice and return to the mortal world, we will pay you back." Calculate the position of your love partner carefully, it will not be so casual and inaccurate like in the competition. Or do you prefer money? Then I will calculate the stock for you. These are negotiable, come and try first. "

Mortal God Stick: "Then I will think about it."

Cultivator fortune teller magic stick: "Don't tell me, why don't you give this to me, little bastard, please be reserved, don't overdo it. Come to participate in the fortune teller competition, dare you say that you don't want to enter the cultivation school?"

Mortal magic stick: "I can also do it to increase my popularity in the mortal world. If I am lucky enough to survive a few rounds in the fortune-teller competition where monks gather, how many people will rush to give me money after returning to the mortal world ? Still using stocks?"

Monk fortune teller magic stick: "That's it. After staying in the fortune teller sect for a few years and then returning to the mortal world, the people who give you money and the amount of money will only be more and bigger, and you can't stop it." .Come or not? Let me ask you one last time."

The mortal stick: "Come, of course. What should I call you? Senior? Uncle?"

Cultivator fortune teller magic stick: "Let's call senior first, and then change to uncle after formal entry."

Mortal magic stick: "Okay. Is the entrance exam difficult?"

The monk fortune teller magic stick: "It's not difficult to show your professional quality today."

Mortal God Stick: "Am I a professional?"

The monk fortune teller magic stick: "Professional. A fortune teller should be your temperament."

... The gods in the world belong to the same family.

Spiritual root is not the point, nor is cultivation.

The insight of a fortune teller...

1795_ know so much

Ran Xun: "Many people come here."

Me: "Because the divination competition is an event in which the comprehension ability of mortals and non-divination monks is basically the same. If ordinary people can't understand, the part that non-divination monks can understand is not much, so this competition, whether it is participating There will be a large proportion of mortals, and the audience. The number of mortals is far more than that of monks. As long as they arouse their interest, monks will definitely not have the advantage in numbers.”

Ran Xun: "So that's how it is..."

Shi Bolin: "Beauties know a lot, don't they?"

Ran Xun nodded with a blushing face.

I:"……"

In fact, I now feel that 'knowledge more' is not a compliment.As a sword cultivator who should focus and is considered by the public as 'lack of common sense is normal', knowing so much is a shame to the rough reputation of sword cultivators accumulated over thousands of years. Although there are senior sword cultivators who are well-informed and knowledgeable, they are a minority after all. , I can't follow the crowd, which always makes me a little guilty.

Sure enough, you should find a fortune teller to do the math.

Creatures like magic sticks may not be able to guide the future, but they must be good at reading people, seeing what customers want to know, what they are worried about, and what they hear before they are willing to empty their wallets.These people are masters in psychology, but they are too foolish, and sometimes the motives of fooling are not pure.

Tongshu City is a world-renowned place where magic sticks gather.It's hard to say whether it belongs to the cultivation world or the mortal world.There is a spiritual vein near Tongshu City, and the concentration of spiritual energy in Tongshu City is greater than that of the mortal world, which is similar to that of the residence of the low-level sect.

The reason why Tongshu City is not easy to determine is because of the particularity of the fortune-teller. There are a large number of mortals coming and going here every day, and some monks even come to find these mortals to do fortune-telling for themselves.Cultivators and mortals live together here, and it seems very harmonious.

I walked around Tongshu City and chose the magic stick.

I asked Shi Bolin: "Do you want to use your ticket for watching Tianmen now, or wait for the competition?"

Shi Bolin: "The competition is free as a cooperator."

Me: "So?"

Shi Bolin: "I still want to be a cooperator."
