08820-Good and Evil Can Be Enlightened

Ge Cunjian is not the only sect without a school resident, there is also a sect called Liang Yang, who majors in wandering, does not even have a portable spiritual vein, and is forced to be a second-rate sect.It is not easy to see disciples of the Liangyang sect in the three-dimensional world, but the disciples of this family are much more active than the disciples of Ge Cunjian on the main network.

Both Ge Cun Jian and Liang Yang School have no fixed entrance exams. Both of them adopt the master-finding apprentice model, that is, the Jin Dan or Yuan Ying Qi in the school meets a suitable child and invites him to become his apprentice. When the apprenticeship ceremony is completed, the child will automatically become a disciple of his master's sect.

Because Ge Cunjian and Liangyang sect masters often do not act together with their peers, they only have apprentices and temporary juniors around them, so when recruiting new apprentices, there are no peers of the same level to discuss with, and they are alone. Make decisions, so it is inevitable that sometimes you will suddenly accept children who are not very suitable for their sect.

Especially for Ge Cun Jian, many of the children who were confused about their apprenticeship, when they really understood what Ge Cun Jian was doing, many of them flinched, so the betrayal rate of Ge Cun Jian's disciples was extremely high.When Ge Cun Jian was strong, that is to say, when the times were in chaos, many disciples who hated assassination were killed by Ge Cun Jian; but in peacetime, Ge Cun Jian would not pursue the withdrawal of his disciples too much, just sign a confidentiality contract. Let people go.

The sects I have come into contact with are basically the type who can and are willing to laugh and shout in public, but for the sects that follow the mysterious style, I only know some gossip that may not be accurate or has been accurate but is now outdated. .Influenced by me, most of the modern mortals and low-level monks also think that the existing schools of cultivation are aboveboard styles, even if it is the main deception like the imitation embroidery or the thief school like Jun Miaoliang, they can cheat and steal frankly It's more like deceiving and stealing as an art displayed to the public, rather than malicious.

But in fact, since from the point of view of individual monks, both good and evil can be enlightened, then from the point of view of sects, both light and darkness can also be enlightened.It's just that the dark side is hidden deeper in contemporary times, and it's not easy for ordinary people to detect it.

A long time ago, the deception of imitation pictures was not the most irritating as it is now, allowing the deceived to block the door of imitation pictures to collect debts, but to deceive people into bankruptcy, so desperate that they could not afford to ask for repayment from imitation pictures. The power to speak.

Earlier, the gate of rebirth was not an image of compassion, but would walk past the suffering crowd indifferently, watching, fiddled with, and facilitated their life and death, and then understood their own way from it.

The Tao of the same sect will change in different eras.When wars are raging, Taoism tends to be cruel and fierce; when spring is warm and flowers bloom, Taoism will be calm and gentle. Its core has not changed, but it will put on different clothes to adapt to the times and learn from them. Different nutrients related to its own core.

08821-Work hard only when you see hope

Me: "Senior Shao, did you feel that it was difficult for you to adapt to this era when you first came out of the Gu pool? When you entered the Gu pool, there was still some war in the world; and when you left the Gu pool, the whole world was already idle." It’s time to start a big fight.”

Senior Shao: "In recent years, the main world has been too idle, joking and laughing every day, giving priority to entertainment, and even the development of a new technology is mainly discussed by the public as 'will this technology make our lives more convenient?' Completely They have no intention of conquering the world, and seem to have forgotten the existence of catastrophes."

Me: "Those people who are alive now, including their children and grandchildren, really have very few chances of surviving until the next catastrophe begins."

Senior Shao: "So what? If you don't meet him, don't you plan for future generations?"

Me: "I've been planning. Cultivators improving their cultivation and mortals improving their technology are all preparing for a catastrophe. But while preparing, you have to live, and live happily. If we are for the future, there will be There is nothing left but suffering in our current life, so why do we continue to endure suffering? There is neither the present to enjoy nor the future to look forward to, so life can already end early?"

Me: "People work hard because they want to prolong happiness, or they still have the hope of being happy. If you have nothing and you can't have it, then what is the value of hard work?"

Senior Shao: "The current monks take the pursuit of pleasure for granted. You must know that three to five hundred years later, the monks will show off how much suffering they have endured. Although there are some people who show off their wealth, they do so in a subtle way. , and when someone points out that they are dazzled, they will rush to clear it up, "This is an incidental income, and what I am most proud of is the hard work I put into developing these products. It feels so good to spend sleepless nights and eat hard."

Me: "It's hypocrisy. Jianzong has never concealed their envy for wealth. Although Jianzong disciples don't feel that they have to change their practice rhythm in order to have wealth, they have never despised rich people, or felt that others can be rich. Getting large amounts of money easily without harming others is something to blame. Jian Zong is poor, but these poor sword cultivators are embarrassed when they mention their poor attitude, not proud of it."

Senior Shao looked at me and didn't respond for a while.

08822-It is still possible to cooperate

Me: "Are you going to say that your admiration for suffering is not derived from your admiration for Jianzong? My evaluation of this is that you have misunderstood."

Senior Shao: "Since I am not a disciple of the Sword Sect, it is impossible for me to have the same mentality as the disciples of the Sword Sect. My Nascent Soul cultivation base cannot be picked up by poor imitation. I know that my philosophy and the sword There is a big difference between Zong and Zong, but this concept is enough for me.”

Me: "It's too narrow, even if you take this path to become a god, you will have an uncomfortable life."

Senior Shao: "In the way of self-suffering, comfort is the hindrance. For me, a life that is too comfortable is like poison, which makes me frightened and makes me question myself. I really miss the life in the Gu pool, rational The tug-of-war with madness makes me feel alive and promising. I enjoy the pain and the stress, not the fancy dress and food."

Me: "Look, your goal is still to enjoy, to live a life that makes you feel comfortable. Although the comfort you prefer is quite different from that of my mother and me, the external form of comfort can only be changed at any time. The vainness and inner peace are the inseparable core.”

Senior Shao: "There's as much nonsense as Jiang Lin."

Me: "For you, it's criticism, which makes you unhappy; for me, it's saying that I and my mother are like, which makes me happy. So we can get our own from the same thing separately. What each prefers, i.e., we have opportunities to work together."

Senior Shao: "Well, Jiang Lin and I have indeed cooperated a lot, and most of the time we have cooperated very happily. If it hadn't just happened to be in the heart demon... No, as long as we have known each other for a long time, the two will often see each other. It is impossible for the monks to completely avoid each other's inner demons."

Me: "But bumping into someone who is in the heart demon stage does not mean that they will definitely turn against each other. Every day in Yunxiazong, there are monks who are at the peak of the golden core stage and their mentality is unstable, but they are getting along with their fellow disciples and fellow Taoists from other sects." When I was born, my brothers and sisters were already at the peak of Jindan, and I still established a good relationship with them from strangers to brothers and sisters; At that time, the whole world said that he was in menopause and would bite people whenever he got the chance, but he still managed the internal and external affairs of Yunxiazong properly, and he also reduced his reputation in the outside world."

Me: "Inner Demon Tribulation is not the decisive factor in interpersonal relationships."

Senior Shao: "Yes. It is a person's sincere attitude towards another person."

08823-Believe what you want to believe

Senior Shao: "When the inner demons are not serious, we can pretend, but when the inner demons are strong, all the darkness we have tried to cover up will be exposed. But monks have so many inner demons, appearing so frequently, and one When a monk observes another monk, he will not only look at his behavior in just a few years, but will observe all the major events in his life, so it is useless to hide, we can only reveal the truest self in the end."

Me: "Then bring your truest appearance to get along with people who can be in tune with your true self. The same kind stay together, and the different kind keep a distance."

Me: "When we first entered the door of cultivation, we often heard the teachings of our predecessors that 'we must cultivate our true self', but when we cultivate to a high level, we will find that whether we want to or not, we can only cultivate our true self." Only on the true path can we go on for a long time. If we don’t take this path and avoid the truth, we will not be able to cultivate. It’s not that we force ourselves to reveal the truth, but that we have no other choice, this is the necessity of monks.”

Senior Shao: "I've read a lot of your comments in Shazhuan. I've watched them since you participated in the fortune-teller competition. Both you and Jiang Lin have a kind of naivety that I hate. Jiang Lin has clearly experienced very bad things. But you still choose to live innocently most of the time, and you know a lot of bad information but still think that human nature is not that bad."

Me: "There is no such thing as bad or bad in human nature, it's just about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."

Senior Shao: "Is it considered to be seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages when the powerful and powerful who wantonly oppress the weak live exquisitely and have everything?"

Me: "Verify your strength by suppressing the weak. In the final analysis, you are not confident enough in your own strength. If this kind of person encounters setbacks, the speed of collapse will be unimaginable. All those who need to prove their strength by comparing with the weak, The heart is weak."

Senior Shao: "You believe what you want to believe. Even if you encounter something that doesn't fit your theory, you will force it to explain it to your theory."

Me: "And generally it does make sense. Even if there is an element of forcing the head at the beginning, explaining a few more sentences will become more and more fluent, until a more reasonable explanation of the initial element of forcing is also explained. Every There are many ways to interpret things, I choose what I want to believe, you choose what you want to believe, we each go our own way, and finally walk into the core of the world with the same things in different ways.”

Senior Shao: "You early Nascent Soul... If you are fighting Jiang Lin who is at the early Nascent Soul, Jiang Lin should have no chance of winning."

Me: "If she wants to win, she can choose a competition that she is good at but I am not good at."

Pei Bing: "For example, the actual operation technique on the bed?"

Fuqiu: "Or the charm that seduces people's heart and indulges, rather than anger?"
