05468-Housekeeper

Li Daoyou went to retreat.In my opinion, this retreat is not so much for foundation building, as it is for straightening out the cultivation thinking of the whole foundation building stage.Therefore, if Li Yiyu is satisfied with the retreat and then builds the foundation, maybe he can start thinking about forming pills.Although the aura environment in Wuge Secret Realm is really bad, Li Yiyu can consider absorbing enough aura in the main world, and then return to Wuge to form alchemy—if he is very attached to Wuge, then it is better to choose Wuge than in the main world , or let Jindanjie give a shock to everyone in Wuge Secret Realm:

Wuge Secret Realm Cultivation Realm is not dead yet!

Probably such a declaration.

Before retreating, Li Yiyu arranged for me a... butler.

The butler is a man named Hu Youhai who is in the early stage of Qi training... I don't know what occupation he is.Li Yiyu introduced Hu Youhai's original words: "He doesn't concentrate on cultivation, but he is very good at mundane things. We are so good at it that we all feel sorry for why he came to practice. With his ability, he is obviously more promising in politics and business. Practicing martial arts is even more important. No, he's not fit enough."

Hu Youhai smiled warmly: "If I hadn't cultivated, I might be dead now. When I was young, it wasn't a problem of 'poor physical fitness', but a problem of being so sick that the medicine couldn't be stopped."

Me: "Well, practice does have the effect of regulating the body from the inside. The Qi training period is actually not obvious. When you reach the foundation building period, if you find yourself sick, it must be poisoned by the curse. It is unrealistic to get sick naturally. .”

Therefore, the Yunxia School has never said "sick leave" in class. Although in fact, the new disciples who have not entered the Qi training period will still get sick, but let those children use this reason to ask for leave. They will feel ashamed and feel that they are not like a monk. So I would rather persist with illness.And by the time they have become veterans in the classroom and can be shameless in order to skip classes, they have already established foundations and even golden cores, asking for sick leave?In the next second, it may become an injury leave.

Also, this injury leave will not be approved, and I will continue to go to class with the injury.

Hu Youhai looked at Li Yiyu and said, "Building a foundation...but I really like mundane things, like negotiating with outsiders, and keeping the Qinglang faction in order."

Me: "There is no contradiction. 'Management' itself is also a kind of cultivation. Anyway, if you haven't decided on a cultivation path, then you should practice management. Also, in terms of my habits, your sect structure makes me feel awkward. You set the highest cultivation level in the sect as the head. The head of the main world is the highest level in the lower sect, and the highest cultivation level is the elder. After the head abdicates, he will also become an elder, and some heads After becoming an elder, his cultivation will go further, but when he is in the head position, he will almost certainly not be the one with the highest cultivation in the sect, unless the sect structure collapses."

05469-Master and Apprentice

Hu Youhai: "After the head abdicates, can't he take care of things?"

Me: "No, it's changed from managing a large range of trivial matters to managing trivial matters at the senior level and elder level. Those trivial matters require both management ability and cultivation level to be done well. The former head elders often look down on me. Low cultivation is trivial for disciples, because he has already dealt with those hundreds of thousands of years, any time he encounters them, he can handle them perfectly without any challenge, so he puts down such things and turns to challenge new ones. management area."

Hu Youhai: "It's really exciting."

Me: "Come on, practice hard, and start from never getting sick." I don't know if the senior brother was as young as Hu Youhai when he first joined the Yunxia Sect.Maybe not, after all, it is said that the elder brother was quite aggressive at that time.Maybe it's more like when Xie Qinwei just started?Of course, the elder brother must be more thoughtful than Xie Qinwei in doing things, and he will not be distracted by the stallion or love career.

Hu Youhai: "Actually, I have known you, Senior Pei, for a long time. I have known since Head Li came back. I was brought into the Qinglang Sect by Head Li. At the beginning, he was just treated as a living horse by my pair of dead horses." The doctor's parents begged to help me treat my illness, and later he became my uncle. The reason why he didn't accept me as an apprentice was because headmaster Li felt that he could not set down a law to teach his apprentice carefully, but it turned out that he did leave, Going to another secret realm will last for many years."

Me: "As an example, the master has been away for a long time, and the apprentice has been left alone at home for a long time. This pair of master and apprentice can also be established; even if many of the apprentice's later cultivation arrangements are instructed by other elders, the master who has left can still be the master. Master of apprentices."

Hu Youhai: "In name?"

Me: "No, it's actually master and apprentice. For apprentices, the focus of the master is not on the guidance of cultivation skills, but on promoting the apprentice's understanding of the Tao. The focus of monks' cultivation is not on skills, but on the Tao. If other elders If you only teach skills, then they are just elders, seniors, not masters."

Me: "Of course, in fact, we will learn something about our own Tao from any senior, and what makes Master different from other seniors is that we have learned more Tao from Master, but It is also hard to say whether this 'more' is because Master has more fate with us, or because Master spends more time with us, or because we spend more time thinking about Master than we think about other seniors."

Me: "We can learn more from the master, it may just be because we pay more attention to the master than to other seniors. Perhaps, if we spend the time we spend on our master focusing on any other seniors , then 'any senior' will bring us the same level of enlightenment as Master brings us."

05470-straightforward

Hu Youhai: "But not everyone can attract our long-term and dedicated attention. Let alone some people, we don't even bother to look at them."

Me: "Yeah, maybe this is the essence of the fate between master and apprentice: seeing each other pleasing to the eye, willing to spend more time looking at each other. It's a great fate, there will be a seven-year itch between lovers, but the master and apprentice often It's a lifetime thing."

Hu Youhai: "Cultivation is more affectionate than love."

Me: "It's another speech about lowering the birth rate."

Hu Youhai: "It's okay. When you are willing to put your attention on your lover, you can give birth. My father was also a monk before, and later he became a layman and gave birth to me."

Me: "... This is the first time I heard that a monk can return to the vulgar world. A monk who can use spiritual power in a controllable way is a monk, no matter where he is, what his identity is, or what he does. What is the status of a monk who has returned to the vulgar?"

Hu Youhai: "Even if you can no longer use your spiritual power in a controllable way, you can call it useless. But the word 'waste' doesn't sound good, so it's called "returning to vulgarity." This way of calling it is too messy, isn't it?"

Me: "Well...it's okay, it's understandable to soften the statement appropriately."

Hu Youhai: "Will the main world directly take care of monks who can no longer use their spiritual power?"

Me: "Yes. The cultivation world of the main world is quite cruel in this respect, and will not be graceful. For example, the word 'not popular' is directly used to define the lowest group of sects, and it is so straightforward that it cannot be ambiguous to everyone. People declared: These sects are not popular in the sense of comprehension, even if they have other strengths, but those are other directions, not the most valued by the comprehension world."

Me: "If you intend to be euphemistic about this kind of sect, then there is no ambiguity in calling them the 'fourth-rate' sect. Anyone who understands it will understand it, but the main world of cultivation does not, so we must clearly point out that those sects are in the field of cultivation. Unqualified in the sense."

Me: "I hope that people who don't understand can also vaguely understand."

Hu Youhai: "Can the Qinglang School not be considered a mainstream school?"

Me: "Not yet. Almost."

Hu Youhai: "Sect Leader Li can forget about it after entering the Foundation Establishment?"

Me: "Yes. In the world of self-cultivation in the main world, the Qi training period is a transitional cultivation level, which cannot be regarded as a monk in the strict definition, and the foundation-building period is the first step on the road to formal cultivation. Only a foundation building period can be regarded as a sect in the sense of comprehension, and the Qi training period alone is not enough, so it can only be regarded as a 'cultivation enthusiast interest group'."

05471-identity

Hu Youhai: "I think the information you told us, senior, is very precious, and its value is much higher than an identity certificate. By the way, your identity certificate is already being processed, because you said that you want to keep a low profile and not let people I discovered your identity as an outsider, so I directly borrowed the identity of an existing person. That person is also a disciple of the Qinglang Sect. He went to other secret realms like Master Li and has not yet returned. You can use him until he returns. If he comes back suddenly, give him a fake identity, he doesn't care about being low-key or not."

Hu Youhai: "That person's name is Shi Mi. Before leaving Wuge, he was a swordsman in the mid-stage of Qi training, and he was good at disguising, so no matter what you look like, as long as our Qingming sect insists that you are Shi Mi, others will not be able to pick you. Shi Mi is an orphan. Except for the disciples of the Qinglang Sect, he has nothing to do with the Wuge Secret Realm. In fact, he does not have many acquaintances in the Qinglang Sect. He is relatively independent and obsessed with cultivation. "

Hu Youhai: "Frequently cross-dressing is also Shi Mi's self-created cultivation method. He firmly believes that changing different disguises and playing different people is beneficial to his cultivation. The facts have proved that Shi Mi's cultivation speed is indeed very fast. , before the age of 20, he reached the middle stage of Qi training. In the main world, this is definitely not a big deal, but in the Wuge Secret Realm, this speed is really amazing. You must know that Li Zhang, who is known as "can change the pattern of Wuge Secret Realm", In the middle stage, he was also at the age of 25. If Shi Mi didn’t like socializing and left Wuge soon after entering the middle stage, his popularity would definitely be very high, so it would be inconvenient for you to temporarily dismiss him identity."

Me: "If Fellow Daoist Shi comes back suddenly, he can play the role of 'a friend from another world who chased Shi Mi to Wuge', and then he and I change and alternate disguises in front of people many times, and he can return to his own Shi Mi Identity, I became that 'friend'. Although this is not low-key, but the origin is also clear, probably enough to confuse the troublemakers who may be chasing me from the main world. Shi Mi will come back later to confuse the possibility of the past higher."

Hu Youhai: "Do those... troublemakers have any ill intentions towards Senior?"

Me: "Most of them don't, they belong to the group of star fans. I am the star being chased."

Hu Youhai: "...Oh."

Me: "The reason for being chased is mainly because I have a good face. I am a stunning beauty."

Hu Youhai: "..."
