09652-half my own

So there was such a possibility: while a certain handyman disciple couldn't recognize himself, his favorability for Yunxia Sect was already extremely high.When this kind of handyman disciple suddenly enlightens himself, his evaluation of loyalty to Yunxia Sect will immediately reach excellent.That is, after entering the outer door, it can enter the inner door immediately, and will not stay in the outer door.

Therefore, the length of time a Yunxia Sect disciple stays in the status of a handyman has no direct relationship with whether he will be trapped in the outer sect. These are two evaluation directions that may not be related.

It's just that generally speaking, the status of a handyman is not conducive to improving the disciple's favorability with the sect.After all, the treatment they get from the sect is at the bottom, and they often feel that they are the marginal people in the sect, so that even if they have a good impression of the sect when they first started, their favorability will gradually decrease during the period of being a handyman disciple, and they will even be out of touch. Dispirited and voluntarily withdrew from the sect.

The way Yunxiazong treats the servant disciples is also one of the main components of Yunxiazong's operating system.If the disciple couldn't accept this side of the Yunxia Sect, it might indeed mean that the disciple was not suitable for the Yunxia Sect, and leaving early would be a good thing to stop the loss in time for that disciple and the Yunxia Sect.

Yunxiazong created a family atmosphere for the inner disciples, but in the eyes of Yunxiazong's outer disciples and handyman disciples, although they also lived in this family's house, they seemed to be dependent on others, and they had not really become A part of this family.But the concept of "family" is like this. There are inside and outside, closeness, distance, and partiality. Members of the family will definitely have obviously different attitudes towards their own people, half of their own people, and outsiders.

Turn your elbows in.The side being defended will certainly feel heart-warming, but the one who is being treated unreasonably by the relatives will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Yunxiazong's attitude towards the disciples of the outer sect and handymen is: either you strive to become an inner sect and become a serious family member of the Yunxiazong; or you leave the Yunxiazong and become a complete outsider; if you can't do both, then you can only I have always been half my own person.

The reality is that there are quite a lot of these "half-self people".From their point of view, although they don't have the rich resources of inner sect disciples, compared to second-rate sects, the resources they get are considered superior.If they choose to leave the Yunxia Sect, it will be difficult for them to accept the regular resources of the second-rate sects who have experienced the treatment of half of their own people in the Yunxia Sect. Besides, the second-rate sects with solid foundations such as the Hehuan Sect and the Qi Sect have many entry selection criteria. No more relaxed than first-class sects - so they can only figure out how to become inner disciples of the other nine schools in the top ten.

Do they have the confidence to be?

09653-Transition zone

Even the Yunxia Sect, one of the seven great sects, couldn't enter the inner sect, and they were obviously even less sure about entering the inner sect of the three major sects.As for the other six schools of the Seven Great Schools, Yaomeng was excluded, and Yanxingmen had to be deleted from the options for male disciples, and the remaining four schools all required excellent talent for a certain profession without exception.

Fortune-tellers and Confucianism cultivators are so rare that no one dares to pat their chests to be sure that they have them. Although sword cultivators and Danxiu are popular enough, it seems that anyone with spiritual roots can learn the basics. But if you want to talk about talent, say someone It is the material of sword repair and dan repair that is rare in a century, and it seems to be even rarer than being able to repair fortune-telling and Confucianism.

There may be mediocre Confucian cultivators in Zhongsumen, but where can you find mediocre sword cultivators in Jianzong?

A child who can practice, if he seems to be able to practice Confucianism and divination, then he will try to take the exams that are particularly suitable for these two majors at the beginning; Praise, then he doesn't have to choose, the people around him will also push him to take the exams of Sword Sect and Medicine Sect.

So in the end, the children who will choose to take the exam of Yunxiazong, besides really liking the atmosphere of Yunxiazong, must feel that they have no talent beyond the average in the four professions of Confucianism Cultivator, Fortune Teller, Sword Cultivator and Dan Cultivator.If these people can only be disciples of outer sects and handymen in Yunxia Sect for a long time, it will be difficult for them to suddenly feel confident that they can be admitted to those four sects.

So, the result is like this: long-term outside sects and handymen in Yunxiazong, who are half of their own disciples in Yunxiazong, may not be satisfied with their lives, but because they can't find a more satisfying next family. , so they continued to stay in the Yunxia Sect, and gradually got used to being half of their own, gradually convincing themselves that although they were not enough, they were more than enough.

Just like the low-level sect became the transition zone between the cultivation world and the mortal world, these outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples of the Yunxia Sect also became the transition zone for the Yunxia Sect's intimacy and estrangement.Yunxia Sect's inner disciples clashed with outer sect Taoist friends, Yunxia Sect must protect its own disciples, and Yunxia Sect's outer sect handyman disciples clashed with outer sect Taoist friends, Yunxia could consider explaining the truth properly, and the combination of the two will make Yunxiazong seemed to protect his shortcomings, but it was not absolutely unreasonable.

Anyway, Sect Leader Jiang likes to use the outer sect and handyman disciples when dealing with the outside world, so that he can better display his ruthless side that only cares about gains and losses.Sect head Jiang is sometimes a little indulgent in his treatment of inner disciples, but he often feels oppressive when dealing with outer disciples and handyman disciples, as if an unscrupulous boss ordered his employees, which is only slightly better than the Tianliang King's broken feeling when he treats enemies a little.

Without the outer sect and handyman, the head of Jiang will inevitably have a lot of tricks that he can't use, so he will be too restrained, and he may give up the Yunxia sect because of this.

09654 - not a bug

My visit to the outer door this time caused a lot of commotion.Many people have heard my conversation with Gu Li, so no matter whether Gu Li has notified all the disciples of the outer sect, the news of my coming to accept disciples spread quickly.Not surprisingly, there were some deviations in the propagation process.

For example, I clearly told Gu Li that I have roughly decided on candidates for apprentices, but many people still think that I am just a temporary pick, and their performance at the moment will directly determine whether I accept them as apprentices.So a lot of people chased after me to perform sword practice, and some teamed up to perform fighting and learning, and some ingenious people caught a cat to show me grooming skills-then they were scratched by the uncooperative cat.

There are also some people who may feel that their chances of being selected are slim, or they can't bear to express their flattery so bluntly, so they stand aside and look at the performers with a little cold expression, and some occasionally cast their cold eyes on the performers. grid.

Legge's expression was also a little cold.He told me in the newsletter: "The atmosphere of the outer sect is really different from that of the inner sect. When inner sect disciples find themselves inferior, they will either train hard and strive to surpass the other party, or they will give up comparing with the other party and only focus on themselves As for the outer sect disciples, many of them will choose to curry favor or crowd out the strong."

Le Ge: "Outer disciples are more likely to form groups and care more about the opinions of others. It is difficult for them to calm down and just focus on themselves. They are keen on expressing themselves, comparing themselves with others, competing for victory and defeat, and suppressing others."

Me: "This may be related to the pathways provided for them to enter the inner sect. There are roughly two ways for outer sect and handyman disciples to enter the inner sect. One is to get the first place or the highest possible ranking in the annual ranking competition, The second is to be appreciated by the Nascent Soul Stage of the inner sect and be accepted as an apprentice. The former needs to compete for victory and defeat and compare with others, while the latter needs to show himself and let the seniors see his excellence."

Me: "In contrast, the living environment of inner disciples is more relaxed. Even if you are lazy and mess around every day, as long as you don't make mistakes in principle, you will not lose your status and treatment as inner disciples. If inner disciples want to work hard, they can get A lot of resources and help; and if you don’t want to work hard, as long as you make a basic contribution to Yunxiazong, such as how many pills you make every month and how many tasks you do, then Yunxiazong won’t treat your disciples at other times. What to blame."

Me: "The relaxed mentality of inner disciples certainly makes you feel comfortable, but the efforts made by outer disciples should not be despised. In the final analysis, the latter are just fighting for a better future for themselves. It didn't hurt anyone. The struggles between the disciples of the outer sect's handyman are indeed more and more frequent than those of the inner sect disciples, and some of them can be called dirty, but they certainly haven't reached the point of causing irreversible harm to the same sect. That is, they have never violated the bottom line rules of Yunxiazong, so from the official level of Yunxiazong, their actions are not wrong."

09655 - grand goals

Me: "It's not a mistake, but it makes you feel uncomfortable; Yunxiazong officially allows it, and even facilitates it to a certain extent, but you don't agree. I think you need to balance the mentality between these. From understanding that 'Yunxiazong is not a perfect paradise' ’ That’s starting to figure out.”

Le Ge: "If I don't agree with certain phenomena of Yunxiazong, either I leave Yunxiazong, or am I strong enough to change Yunxiazong?"

Me: "It seems that you plan to choose the latter?"

Legge: "Of course."

Me: "This is actually a very ambitious goal. Almost all Yunxia Sect disciples had similar thoughts when their cultivation bases were still low, but most of them will either agree with what they used to be different after reaching a high cultivation base. If you identify with a phenomenon you don’t agree with, and even actively defend it, you will find that you can’t think of a way to improve the phenomenon you don’t agree with. All the solutions you can think of will only make things worse instead of changing. good."

Me: "The most outstanding one in modern times should be your ancestor who can practice his original intention after his cultivation level is high, and really make Yunxiazong more compliant. Jiang Zhang can reach an excellent level in this respect." The door counts as one, and Elder Xuewei and Elder Wang Linguo should also be counted."

Me: "Look, the people who can do this are either the elders or the head of the sect, and the idlers are all defeated. So if you set your goal as this, you need a lot of hard work. Speaking of which, the Disciplinary Department There is a Nascent Soul named Wei Yu, I don’t know if you have come into contact with it, he entered the precepts office to change the unhealthy trend of Yunxiazong giving the elders the green light, but so far he has only seen the changes made by your ancestor, he himself Not yet."

Le Ge: "Yes, I understand that this is a long-term and hard work, and I will not give up easily because I can't see the results for a long time."

Me: "Using the elf's argument, there is nothing wrong with giving up. It is very comfortable to lie down. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Cultivation requires both hard work and letting nature take its course."

Le Ge: "When you are unwilling to give up, work hard, and when you feel irritated by hard work, give up appropriately."
