08604 - Trap

Me: "You are content, you only need to accept one apprentice to pay off the debt, some guys with hundreds of tasks to enter the Yuanying, the burden is too big."

Dad: "To do one task a year, it will take hundreds of years to owe debts for hundreds of tasks; to teach an apprentice, if it takes him thousands of years to conceive a baby, I can only accept it."

I sued Elder Yue, the former head of the school, for my father's improper attitude towards apprenticeship.

Elder Yue: "Oh."

Me: "You don't have a cure for him at all?"

Elder Yue: "If he is in the Yuanying stage, we have a lot of tricks; if he is in the early stage of transformation, we also have a few moves; but now he is in the late stage of transformation that may enter the peak stage at any time. Can you understand the peak of transformation?" What is the concept of staying in Yunxia Sect?"

Me: "The cultivation world is the boss after all."

Elder Yue: "Yes. If it's a matter of principle, then the other elders will unite to restrain Elder Pei if they are severely damaged. However, the matter of accepting apprentices is actually more private. The most affected by Elder Pei's failure to accept apprentices is Himself. If he himself feels that he would rather let this matter become a hidden danger in his cultivation and he will not accept it, on the premise that he himself is responsible for the consequences, what can we do?"

Me: "But as one of the top elders of the Yunxia Sect, he can't separate the private from the public, and most of the time it affects himself, it will also affect the Yunxia Sect. If he doesn't accept apprentices, the price is his If you can’t enter the Mahayana, then for Yunxiazong, you will lose the opportunity to break through the ceiling of the sect’s cultivation, and the price will be very painful.”

Elder Yue: "It can't be counted like this. First of all, whether it is an individual monk or the sect as a whole, the pursuit of cultivation base promotion is the same. If there is no sufficient reason, no monk or sect is willing to enter a higher cultivation base. Under the premise, choose to stay at a low level of cultivation. This sentence, in turn, means that if a monk or sect clearly has the opportunity to advance to a higher level of cultivation, but chooses to give up, it means that it is more important than improving For more important things, that is, things that are more directly related to the foundation of the Tao, that is, things that will destroy your cultivation if you don't do it."

Me: "That is to say, this thing that seems to be able to improve the cultivation level after doing it, in fact, in the long run, it will be in line with the way of this monk, and if it is done, it will ruin the cultivation base after a short-lived and false improvement. Dao, cultivation base plummeted, abolished, dead?"

Elder Yue: "A trap."

08605 - Dangerous topics

Elder Yue: "Cultivators and sects all value cultivation, and they often think about improving their cultivation and breaking the ceiling of their cultivation, but we always need to remember that what we are after is not the improvement of cultivation itself, but what we can do after we upgrade our cultivation. Cultivation is a by-product or handy tool for us to do what we value, not the goal of our cultivation itself."

Me: "You are the most important thing. If you wrong yourself in order to improve your cultivation, then your cultivation will cease to exist. We cannot be puppets of our cultivation, but we need to control our own cultivation."

Elder Yue: "That's it."

Me: "But do you really think that my father's refusal to accept disciples stems from the foundation of his way?"

Elder Yue: "Although we think that he just had a temporary conditioned reflex of getting annoyed whenever he sees a child after he has devoted himself to raising the child for too long, but except for Elder Pei himself, no one is sure that this may be a temporary conditioned reflex. Will it be internalized into his way, so we can only believe what he says, no matter whether it sounds absurd or not. We can urge it appropriately, but we can’t force it.”

...Brother is right, once this topic is discussed deeply, we, the three sons, daughters and apprentices, may need to repent. We should really avoid this dangerous topic obediently.

I stubbornly expressed my expectation again: "Maybe after my father takes in a normal apprentice for a few years, he will think that the apprentice is not too bad?"

Elder Yue: "No, as long as you spend your time on your disciples instead of letting them go, you will feel bad about your disciples. When monks bear the life and cultivation of any other monks except Taoist companions, they will feel bad One of the reasons why Yunxiazong requires the Nascent Soul stage to accept disciples is to let the disciples adapt to the bad heart and to be able to bear people other than the Taoist companion and themselves. "

Elder Yue: "Although Elder Pei Ji didn't raise pure and real apprentices, he did learn deeply about other people who are responsible for non-Taoist companions since the Yuanying stage, and his experience is worse than many Yuanyuan who are professionally cheating apprentices." The infancy is much stronger, so as the elder of Yunxia Sect, Elder Pei should not be in debt when it comes to accepting apprentices. Now let him accept a serious apprentice mainly to adjust his own mood, not in the routine of Yunxia Sect. During the cultivation process, he owed a debt of apprenticeship."

……oh.It seems that it is time to end this chat.

Before I said goodbye politely and cut off the communication, Elder Yue added: "For Master, as long as a disciple is not possessed by demons and does not violate the bottom line rules of Yunxia Sect, in fact, whether the disciple is unhappy or not has nothing to do with the disciple's own characteristics. relationship, but it mainly depends on the energy the master spends on this apprentice. The more thought he spends on this apprentice, the worse he feels."

08606-Love equals disgust

Elder Yue: "It can also be said more generally, as long as a disciple does not make a principled mistake, then the degree of master's dislike for this disciple can be directly equal to the degree of master's love for this disciple. In fact, even if the disciple makes a principled mistake , and it does not affect the equation between love and dislike, because when the apprentice makes a principled mistake, the master's attitude towards him has left the field of hatred, anxiety, and hard work to correct it, and has stepped into the field of treating it as a mistake. The level of the enemy, that is, not recognizing this apprentice, is treating this former apprentice as an enemy."

Elder Yue: "How can there be such a thing as dislike towards the enemy? A sword cultivator only thinks about whether to hack the enemy to death now, or if he gets a few injuries. Only use it on your own people."

Me: "Thank you. I have been comforted."

Elder Yue: "Didn't you think about this before? It's impossible for you to suspect that Elder Pei Ji doesn't love you, right?"

Me: "I have always believed in his love, but I didn't directly equate dislike with love. I thought his dislike was a reflection of his arrogance?"

Elder Yue: "Elder Pei Ji has always been a very honest person, and he doesn't seem to have any arrogant attributes. Didn't you find that many masters dislike their direct disciples? For example, I treat Zhou Jie, Zhou Jie treats Jiang Weixiao, Elder Huigu To Ge Xiwei, Elder Yang Chelu, and Elder Qi Xi..."

Me: "Does the head of Zhou Qian dislike Jiang Xian's head?"

Elder Yue: "Wei school can't finish the work on its own, and Zhou Jie has to come forward to complete the signing, Zhou Jie is very disgusted."

Me: "You can't blame Jiang Xian as the head of the sect. When Jiang Xian was still a big brother, he didn't have the right to sign the head at all."

Elder Yue: "That's why Zhou Jie tried to use his brains to put the signing right of the sect head into the hands of the first apprentice in a roundabout way, but failed, so Zhou Jie was angry at the school for not being able to turn around."

Elder Yue: "I really despise Zhou Jie's way of doing everything in order to be lazy. He simply wants to put 'the head doesn't have to do anything' into the bottom line rules of Yunxia Sect."

That's not the case.At most, I want to put in superficial rules that can be obeyed or not.

Me: "Does the master continue to dislike the disciples who have already graduated from the master? The disciples who have graduated from the master no longer need to be taught by the master, that is, they are already independent. The master no longer needs to bear the burden of the disciple's life and cultivation. Step into a harmonious and friendly relationship with friends?"

Elder Yue: "In theory, it is true."

08607-Net

Me: "Actually, why not?" Elder Yue Yi Du still burdened Elder Zhou Jie, Elder Yang Che Lu and Elder Qi Xi, and they often gave advice.This kind of follow-up guidance from elders to elders, which is not an example, should not be based on emotion, at least not just, but should have reasons related to one's own way and the foundation of Yunxia sect?

Elder Yue: "Because this relationship of disgust and dislike has become a stable rhythm between master and apprentice. After the apprentice leaves the teacher, even if the master no longer needs to point the apprentice, he can still discuss the way in a similar way. When the monk is very indifferent, for example, if the apprentice is possessed by a demon, he will kill as soon as he says, without mercy, and he may not even feel distressed. At that time, the monks were very fond of each other, and they continued to use a model if they thought it could be used, and they were unwilling to change it.”

Elder Yue: "However, if the apprentice strongly wishes to change the rhythm of being disliked and pointed at, then it is also feasible to communicate and discuss with the master, or use strength to force the master to change."

Me: "But my master is still my father, and his cultivation has always suppressed me."

Elder Yue: "It's really difficult to change."

Me: "Plus, I don't have a lot of motivation to change. I quite like being managed by my father, but I don't like him often expressing his dislike for me."

Elder Yue: "Restraint and dislike are bound together. Either you abandon them all, or you accept them all. It's hard for you to expect a person or a thing, leaving only the part that suits your heart, and everything that doesn't. Disappear. After all, this is not your world of rules, and it will not revolve around you so precisely."

Me: "I can only make a choice after weighing the pros and cons. Neither can I endure the bad side without a bottom line because I see the cute side of a thing; nor can I be afraid to pick up a thing just because I see the bad side Its cute side. If you want to get it, you must be prepared to give, and after you give, you will definitely get something."

Me: "Is my dad happy when he rules me and dislikes me? Are you happy when you control and dislike Zhou Qian, who is in charge?"

Elder Yue: "It's not something to describe whether I'm happy or not. This is the daily routine. It's the basic sword moves. If I don't practice for a day, I feel that something is missing. Apprentices are an important medium for my daily self-training—whether I am a master or a future master. Apprentices who become masters——Through my supervision of apprentices, apprentices' supervision of their own apprentices, master's exchange of experience between masters and disciples, and apprentices' exchange of eccentricities of different masters, Yunxia School has established a huge network of masters and apprentices. A network structure that is conducive to deepening fellowship."

Elder Yue: "Besides, all the disciples have gone to the task office to do tasks, all the disciples have gone to the library to read the materials, and all the disciples have been punished in the commandment office, etc. These are also ways to deepen the friendship of fellow disciples."
