OBS Chapter 204: The Ratio Of Male To Female Among Cultivators
Chapter 204: The Ratio Of Male To Female Among Cultivators
Yang Yushu maintained a cool demeanor, and easily answered the questions raised by the great elder of Yuxuzong;
"Among the Eight Great Immortal Gates, the Jade Cloud Palace of this seat never recruits male disciples, you should know that?"
"If one of the eight immortal sects wants to control the other seven immortal sects by means of alliance, then Biyun Palace is the least likely."
"There are more than 3,600 female disciples in this hall, all of whom practice the way of purity of heart. If the enemy is not present, there is no need to form any alliances, and why need to add troubles in vain."
Fairy Yang's words were very euphemistic, but the meaning she expressed was very clear.
The elders of the Yuxu Sect are all old men, so naturally they all understand.
Simply put;
In the family hall, there are more than 3,600 female disciples, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and they practice the way of purity of heart, and guard their bodies like jade.
In this case, only other immortal sects would want to control Biyun Palace, and Biyun Palace has no time to hide, so why would they take the initiative to provoke other immortal sects?
To put it more clearly, it is common for men to play hooligans with women, and it is very common for women to play hooligans with men, and she is still a very beautiful goddess... Tell me, where did you see it, I will rush over there, all come to me, don't hurt Other male compatriots.
Anyway, that's probably what it means.
After hearing Fairy Yang's words, the Great Elder of Yuxu Sect was deep in thought, but Elder Du couldn't sit still any longer, one of them couldn't hold back, and interrupted;
"Great Elder, Yang Xian... Palace Master Yang is right, Biyun Palace doesn't take advantage of the union, but pays the most."
"If you want me to say, we should agree to unite as soon as possible, and also help Palace Master Yang and more than 3,600 female Taoist friends in Palace Biyun to solve their problems."
On this occasion, Elder Du still didn't dare to call Yang Yushu Fairy Yang directly, so he just talked about it in private.
And what he said was already a bit blatant, and the implication was not;
"Great Elder, let's hurry up and join us. We are the ones who can take advantage of the alliance with Biyun Palace."
This is actually not true at all.
First of all, cultivators have not become immortals, human emotions and desires are still there.
In this world, under the rule of the feudal dynasty, patriarchal thinking is still very strong.
Therefore, the ratio of men to women in this world is naturally more men than women (except during the war period, since the Dingzhou Dynasty unified the twelve states, the world has been peaceful for nearly two hundred years.)
In addition, in the feudal society, it was very common for high-ranking officials to have three wives and four concubines, which aggravated the imbalance in the ratio of men to women.
It is not uncommon for common people to never marry a wife or taste a woman in their lifetime.
Besides, returning cultivators, some people may say, cultivators are powerful and have a high status, so is it not easy to marry a wife?
But here lies the problem.
Cultivators have a high status, and women from ordinary families feel that they are not worthy of it.
Except for some women from high-ranking officials and noble families who use their daughters as bargaining chips in exchange for the protection of cultivators, those who really love their daughters will not marry their daughters to cultivators.
After all, as the realm of the cultivator increases, the life span will also increase.
To reach a certain level, as long as you think about it, it’s okay to keep your face unchanged for a hundred years, or to rejuvenate (but there is one thing, it’s always your own face, you can’t become whatever you want like in the disguise technique, otherwise try The remnant soul of Ye Ritian, the old senior in the practice tower, will not be troubled by his youthful appearance).
As for mortal women, their lifespan is only a few dozen years, and their youth is only a short dozen years.
It is not uncommon for a cultivator to combine with a mortal woman, but it is often not until the mortal woman dies, as long as she is old, she will be abandoned with a high probability.
Even if there are some cultivators with deep love and righteousness, they don't want to see the woman they love go away first, leaving countless memories, and then spend the rest of their lives alone.
There have even been cases where individual cultivators did not want their mortal spouses to die of old age, but practiced some evil methods to forcefully "extend life" for mortals.
Zombies, half-demons, living puppets, ghosts, etc... are all products of this situation.
In short, the combination of a cultivator and a mortal woman has too many disadvantages for both the cultivator and the mortal.
So later on, the control of the disciples of the major immortal sects became more and more strict in this regard.
As a cultivator, if you want to marry a mortal woman, or maybe ration a mortal man (too few, it can be ignored), you have to follow a lot of rules.
Hey, this is pretty good, humane, and not completely banned.
But if the rules are followed, nine out of ten cultivators will retreat in spite of the difficulties.
One of them is that after the spouse of a mortal has passed away, the immortal sect or force must personally cremate and save them, and do not give them the opportunity to "extend their lives" with evil methods.
This world still pays attention to the whole body after death.
In the end, this is both cremation and salvation. If the cultivator really loves that mortal, he will definitely not accept it.
Even if the cultivator can accept it, it's up to the mortals whether they are willing or not.
So, it is not as simple as one thinks for a cultivator to find a mortal spouse.
Ever since, the first choice for a cultivator for a spouse is naturally to find a fellow practitioner, that is, a fellow cultivator, to become a Taoist couple.
Of course, there is another point here, the choice of Taoist companions generally chooses the same realm.
You can keep your appearance, so can I. You can live for hundreds of years, and I can live for hundreds of years.
Only in this way can there be fewer conflicts.
Alas, these days, those cultivating immortals also pay attention to being well-matched.
But so it came back again. Among the cultivators, there are more men than women.
As I said before, this world is under feudal rule, and patriarchal is inherently patriarchal.
Even if many women are talented, they may not have the opportunity to practice, and they will be buried for a lifetime, and they will spend their lives in a busy life.
Think about it, in this case, how disparate is the ratio of men and women among cultivators?
Take Yuxuzong as an example, the ratio of female disciples to male disciples is, one to... eighty-seven!
That is to say, without considering the difference in realm, if a male cultivator wants to successfully make a Taoist partner among his fellow disciples, he needs to defeat another 86 opponents!
Another point is that the pursuit of many female cultivators is higher than that of male cultivators. They generally want to break through to a higher level.
At least, to achieve the level of maintaining the same appearance for a hundred years, women always have a strong obsession with retaining their youthful appearance.
Before that, most of them didn't consider finding a Taoist partner.
What's more sinful is that they often look down on those male cultivators of the same realm.
Yuxuzong has tens of thousands of disciples, and the number of male disciples has reached eight or nine thousand.
Many male disciples were "forced" to see through the world of mortals and became Buddhists, and even their cultivation was affected (the curls were so severe that some people simply lay flat).
But if you tell them that there is a place where there are more than 3,600 female nuns, and you want to form a "federation" with them.
It is estimated that the whole sect will suddenly howl and rekindle their blood!
