Gan Bai was about to step forward and fiercely criticize a few words, but then he realized that if he wanted to leave a message here, there must be a talisman that represented himself here. If he ignored everything, it might reflect his real name.
Of course, this wouldn't do. The juniors below didn't recognize him, but the people above did. He didn't want to expose himself as soon as he came up. Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
At this moment, he remembered that the immortal pill that the kid ate in the grand play was refined with the peach of immortality, so he made an "oh" sound and gave it the name "Tao Shi".
Then he began to refute the messages left under those seals one by one. He didn't have a fixed target, so he criticized whatever he caught and scolded them one by one. He was very happy in his heart.
Of course, he didn't dare to write too much and tried to make it as simple as possible. But after all, he was the Xuan Zun, so his vision and understanding of Dao weren't comparable to ordinary cultivators. He could always hit the nail on the head.
Those who were criticized quickly found him, and each and every one of them thanked him very respectfully.
These people weren't fools. If it was an ordinary person who picked on them, they could always retort with a few words. But this person's words were insightful and always hit the nail on the head, so they had no choice but to accept it. They all guessed that this person was a senior cultivator, so even if they felt uncomfortable, they didn't dare to confront him openly and could only say good things.
Gan Bai was flattered at first, and he was a little proud, but soon he became bored because none of these people argued with him, which made him very unhappy.
After walking around, he was surprised to find that there were people preaching Dao here, so he suddenly became interested. He found a certain talisman and touched it with his mind. The light screen in front of him changed, and then he heard the sound of preaching.
He listened to a few words and was speechless for a while. It wasn't that he couldn't find any mistakes, but that the things that the other person was talking about were too simple in his opinion. There was nothing to criticize if it was too simple. But even so, he found that there were indeed many people listening to the preaching here. He couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart, thinking that the juniors of today were really not as good as before.
He retreated from this place and saw that the talisman could leave comments on it. He sneered and said, "Everyone on and off the stage is rotten wood, why don't I read according to the book?"
Because there were quite a few people here who were preaching about the Dao, he turned around and randomly chose one to enter. However, after listening to a few words, a look of disgust appeared on his little face.
This person was much better than the previous one. He didn't recite from a book, nor did he talk about anything major. Everything he said was very realistic. It was just that this person's words were flat and there was no rhythm to them. It was really annoying to listen to him.
He immediately retreated and said, "Words are tasteless. I'll definitely use less salt."
After he was done, he swept his gaze across the screen and saw a particularly eye-catching seal on it. He snorted and touched it, causing the screen in front of him to change.
However, when he arrived, he found that the person who was preaching hadn't arrived yet. However, there were quite a few people listening to the sermon, and the number of talismans on the screen was increasing.
He didn't have the patience to wait any longer. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice in his ear, "I'm the narrator here. My name is He Li. Fellow Daoist, are you also here to listen to Mr. Ban's sermon?"
Gan Bai was disdainful. What kind of person is worthy of preaching to me?
He asked, "Who is this person with the surname Ban?"
He Li heard that he didn't seem to know Ban Lan and that his words were a little rude, but he didn't mind. After all, there were many cultivators with strange tempers. If his seniority was higher, it would be normal for him to behave like this.
He patiently replied, "This Mr. Ban is under the tutelage of a famous teacher and has profound cultivation. If he has any understanding of the Dao, or if he has obtained any good seals, he will never keep them to himself and is willing to share them with us."
Gan Bai was a little interested when he heard what he said, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave.
He Li knew how to act appropriately. Seeing that he didn't speak and didn't intend to leave, he didn't say anything more and left after apologizing.
After waiting for about a hundred breaths, the seal at the top lit up slightly, and then a warm voice came out, "Fellow Daoists, I'm Ban Lan. Greetings."
Her voice was as gentle as water, melodious and pleasing to the ear. Just listening to it made people feel comfortable.
Gan Bai curled his lips.
After Ban Lan spoke and saluted, he didn't delay and began the sermon.
Gan Bai listened for a while. Unlike the previous two, this person did not explain Daoism or any difficulties in cultivation. Instead, he specifically took some of the rules and seals that were out there and commented on them. He explained the pros and cons of these rules to others. It sounded like a real thing, but in fact, it was useless for cultivation. It was just a novel and interesting thing to listen to.
However, it wasn't a good thing to listen to too much of these things. Cultivators often thought that they understood a lot of principles and spoke logically, but it was actually useless in practice. On the contrary, they wouldn't be willing to cultivate in earnest.
However, he didn't say anything. He was a person from You City, so why should he remind these Tianxia's younger disciples?
However, after listening to a few more sentences, he found that something was wrong.
Ban Lan's one or two sentences were what he had used to criticize people. He didn't know how it was seen by someone else and used it to change it. Then, he added something that he didn't know whether it was his or someone else's, and in the blink of an eye, it became his own.
Because these words were indeed reasonable, it couldn't help but cause people to exclaim in admiration, praising Mr. Ban for his profound cultivation.
Gan Bai was furious. I was the one who said that!
He immediately scolded, "Shut up!"
Ban Lan's voice paused for a moment, and then his humble voice came out, "Fellow Daoist, do you think I said something wrong? Please enlighten me. "
Hearing him say this, the people here not only weren't surprised, but also showed some anticipation.
This was because when Ban Lan preached, he didn't allow the people below to speak like others. He would often debate on the spot, which was the most attractive part of his preaching.
The most amazing thing was that Ban Lan was always able to make her opponents either retreat in shame or accept her wholeheartedly. She had never lost an argument.
Some disciples who were convinced by Ban Lan couldn't help but discuss, "This is the first time this person has come here to listen, right? He really overestimates himself. "
"There's no rush, let's see how Mr. Ban teaches him a lesson."
"Ai, there's no need to say that. We weren't quite convinced by Mr. Ban back then, and now we all admire him. This person might be a comrade in the future."
The disciples all agreed one after another.
Gan Bai also heard these words. He sneered a few times and said, "Do you think what he said is reasonable? In fact, it's just a bunch of nonsense. It's just to deceive ignorant juniors like you. "
"Let's not talk about anything else. This person's words are strange and not right. It sounds good, but it's just a castle in the air, the moon in the water!"
"Let me ask you, after you listened to his words, did anyone's cultivation improve? Did anyone comprehend any Daoist techniques? They just learned a bunch of empty words and didn't understand the truth at all. "
"This person is just using food to seduce you. It's ridiculous that you juniors are all stretching your necks, eager to be fed, but you can't eat the bait!"
When Gan Bai said this, he felt incomparably delighted. Thinking that his words had been used, he added, "Also, I'm telling you to wait …"
Before he could finish, he heard a chuckle in his ear. Then the light screen changed, and he found that he was outside the hall. He was startled, and only then did he realize that he had been kicked out. He couldn't help but be furious, "Outrageous!"
Just as he was about to enter and criticize again, he found that he couldn't enter no matter what. Obviously, the other party had excluded him. What was even more hateful was that he wasn't even allowed to comment!
He was instantly annoyed. If this kind of junior dared to be so disrespectful in front of him, he could easily crush him to death. However, this was inside the Xuntian Dao Zhang, and he couldn't do anything to the other party.
He also knew that there were rules here. At first, he didn't care much, but now he couldn't ignore it. He immediately looked over reluctantly, and only then did he understand that here, one needed merit to comment.
The higher the merit, the greater the authority of the person's words. Of course, they couldn't do whatever they wanted. In most cases, they could only make decisions in the place they preached.
And if he wanted to criticize Ban Lan, he had to at least have more merit than the other person. Now, he relied on a few comments, and had more than fifty merit points, far worse than the other person.
If he used the merit he had done for Tianxia in the past, if he succeeded, he would be able to crush this junior to death. However, now that he had left Tianxia, these naturally didn't count.
Fortunately, there were many other ways to obtain merit points. For example, he could preach about Taoism, but this would be too easy to expose, so he couldn't take it.
Another way was to provide some traces and secrets of the enemy. If it was confirmed, he could also obtain merit points. This was much easier. He suddenly felt a little restless.
As Xuan Zun, although he had only been in You City for a short time, he knew a lot of things.
However, he still resisted this idea. It wasn't because he didn't want to betray You City, but because he didn't betray enough merit points. If he betrayed too much, wouldn't he expose himself instead? It was better not to do this for the time being.
He looked a few more times and found that there was a way to obtain merit points faster, and that was to preach. The more people he preached, the more merit he would gain.
His eyes lit up. Now that he had the final say in the entire You City, how could it be difficult to preach? He couldn't help but sneer a few times. "Junior, just you wait." Then, he left the room.
On the other side, Ban Lan was talking to He Li. He asked, "What's up with that person just now?"
He Li replied, "Sir, I didn't arrange for that person."
Ban Lan often had He Li arrange for people to take the initiative to ask questions and find fault. This way, he could attract more people. Of course, he did have some ability, and not everyone was arranged by him. That way, it would be more realistic. However, he didn't expect to meet a difficult person today.
He keenly felt that this person wasn't simple. If he hadn't decisively driven him away in the name of insulting a fellow Taoist, he might have messed up this great situation.
He said, "Next time, don't let this person enter the Taoist room again."
He Li said with certainty, "Sir, don't worry. With me watching, this person will never come in again."
