09068-Not yet there

The qualifying standard for Kunlun disciples is to have the domineering spirit and the strength to match this mentality. The qualified standard for the disciples of Medicine Sect is to be able to break new ground in the way of elixir, and to be able to use elixir to fulfill all their needs.In many cases, such standards are very vague. Kunlun and Yaozong officials have mature evaluation systems that can accurately judge whether a disciple is qualified, but disciples themselves, especially those who lack self-confidence, find it difficult to determine whether they are qualified or not. arrive.

But whether a person contributes to an organization or is just a mess, I always know in my heart.If you feel that you haven't done enough, then you can do a little more, and you can do it obviously better than most people who do the same thing, then you must be at ease.As long as there is something to do, you can think about a lot of ethereal things less.If you really don't know what you can do, then find a department that looks busy and submit a job application, and then you will definitely get a steady stream of jobs. The management skills of the managers are always excellent.

The concept of the Yunxia Sect is not only the meaning of "like-minded friends" that conventional sects have, but also includes not-so-rational protection of shortcomings, soft-heartedness, and connivance.

If Kunlun determined a plan that would make his disciples stronger, he would force his disciples to do it even if his muscles were broken; Yunxiazong would look for a softer plan because he couldn't bear the pain of his disciples. Appropriately discard some powerful.

The elders of the Yunxia Sect said: "We haven't reached that point yet. If there is really no way out, then the way to die and survive is not impossible. Why do you have to push yourself to the point where you are torn apart and reassembled? It is true that you can struggle to become strong in the midst of tragedy, but how much of yourself will you give up in order to get that strength?"

Elder Yunxiazong: "It is not necessarily a good thing to be too decisive and pursue strength at any cost, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be weak and innocent. There is no evidence that can absolutely prove the pros and cons of the two. True strength should not only be equated with Overcoming adversity and hardship, being strong should not just exist in opposition to negative things... In short, let's protect ourselves first and then talk about other things."

Kunlun is the unshakable No. [-] sect, but I still prefer Yunxiazong.

I said to the Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "It is true that Yunxia Sect cannot produce Nascent Soul-level textbooks, but it is not suitable. In fact, the Yunxia Sect's textbooks and major courses for Qi training and foundation building and Jindan level do not have Kunlun's standards. "

In many cases, Yunxiazong adopts an attitude of listening or not listening to the big lectures for the disciples, and after the textbooks are distributed, the disciples are allowed to read them or not.Many disciples are disgusted when they communicate with friends, "Why don't you even know this? Isn't this in the basic textbook?" Feeling ashamed and angry, they will look through the textbook carefully, and then listen to the lecture. class.

Anyway, most of the same big lectures are repeated in ten-year cycles. Even if you miss the class you should listen to in that session, you will wait for ten years at most before you will have the opportunity to listen again.If you can't wait, you can also ask the teacher of the big class directly, or go to Zangshuge for self-study.

Generally speaking, Yunxiazong distributes textbooks and timetables to disciples just to tell disciples that these are the most basic and commonly used knowledge in the realm of comprehension and your profession. After mastering these, you will not be dismissed as illiterate and not easy when dealing with people outside. Being cheated, you can quickly figure out the situation in most places.It is suggested that even if you listen to and sleep while you are in class, you can also feel the atmosphere, and listen to a sentence or two in your mind by fate, and maybe you can save your life at some point.

Assigning homework is also for the purpose of "letting students have a little impression of the knowledge points" and "knowing which direction to think and search when they need to use it in the future". It is not really expected that everyone will memorize and copy them well.

The Yunxia Sect’s large-scale sword formation with hundreds of people, and the Yuanying-level Lingzhi Planting, which took at least ten years to establish diplomatic relations with Lingzhi, are all optional items and are not included in the teaching materials. Research when interested.Creating a world is an activity that often takes a hundred years to build a rough shape. There is no reason to require the whole sect to learn in a unified manner in the Nascent Soul Stage.It's better to put the relevant materials in the library, and wait for the Nascent Soul stage to study on their own if they are interested, or ask their masters and elders if they are not clear about the research.

Perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that the number of people in the Yunxia Zong's Nascent Soul Stage is much smaller than that of Kunlun's Nascent Soul Stage.The elders of the Yunxia Sect can give one-on-one guidance to every Nascent Soul Stage who has encountered obstacles in the process of creating the world, but the elders of Kunlun and the Transformation Spirit Stage may not be able to take good care of Kunlun's multiple infant stages—— People who are world-weary like Elder Peng Qinru are probably not suitable for long-term one-on-one guidance on the Nascent Soul Stage.

Kunlun Yuanyingqi: "If the routine process is not standardized, a lot of manual judgment and maintenance work will be added. Just like the discipline department, if the standards fluctuate when implementing the regulations, then human factors account for a non-negligible proportion in it, which is easy to cause Contradictions can also easily lead to injustice.”

Me: "What if those artificial judgments and human factors are reserved to provide disciples with some space to relax, vent their emotions, and play?"

Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "They are all positive effects? It is difficult to control them so precisely. People are selfish and eccentric. The more power a private person is allowed to have, the easier it is to suppress dissidents and use the public to enrich himself. "

09070-internal understanding

Me: "Many people will indeed do this, but the inner disciples of the Yunxia Sect will not. It's not that the inner disciples of the Yunxia Sect have no selfish intentions, but the entire Yunxia Sect is our selfishness. If we want to embezzle, we will also fill up the resources of the world. Enter the Yunxia Sect's warehouse. What's the point of tossing the Yunxia Sect's own resources back and forth inside the Yunxia Sect?"

Kunlun Yuanyingqi: "Are you sure? Not all inner disciples of Yunxia Sect completely equate Yunxia Sect with themselves, right? Maybe they can think so when there are foreign enemies, but when they get along with other Yunxia Sect disciples, can they be so different?" Split between you and me? For example, they all know that you are rich, Fellow Daoist Pei, so can they equally think that they themselves are also rich?"

Me: "When they desperately need money, I can indeed send money to my colleagues. I can give them as much as they actually need. Of course, when they have no obstacles in their daily life, they just care about some luxuries that they don't need. I definitely don’t give them financial support when it’s an itch — I don’t buy much luxury myself.”

Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "Isn't it a luxury to use the secret realm as a toy?"

Me: "Which Yunxia Sect disciple has found the opportunity to play in the secret realm, as long as he shares the opportunity with me and lets me play together, I can fully cover his playing expenses this time." .

Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "It seems that even if you are an outsider Taoist friend, if you share the opportunity to play in the secret realm, as long as the secret realm is interesting enough, you will be willing to pay for that fellow daoist's play fee?"

Me: "Yeah. It's easy to talk about money."

Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "So in this matter, what is the difference between the disciples of the Yunxia Sect and the friends of the outer sect?"

Me: "Just like I can't really understand the Kunlun textbooks, you also can't really understand the tacit understanding among the disciples of Yunxia Sect."

When the head of Jiang wants to cheat me, not only will I not get angry with him, but I will also jump into the pit in cooperation; when the remarks of the contribution points are vague, I will be a little confused, but I am too lazy to ask for detailed remarks; I will complain when the reading authority of the Zangshu Pavilion is lower than that of inner disciples with the same level of cultivation as me, but I can also understand this compression...

As internal disciples of the Yunxia Sect, of course there will still be more or less differences between each individual, and then the Yunxia Sect officials and the same sect will treat each individual differently because of this difference.It is not a standard line that rigidly restricts all treatment methods, but often ups and downs according to feelings, trying to adjust an atmosphere that makes all disciples feel relaxed and happy.

09071-True Me

Of course, it should be noted that it must only fluctuate within a "certain range". If it is higher than that range, it will be too scattered and lead to chaos. If it is lower than that range, it will be too limited and will bring depression.Only Yunxia Sect disciples can know where the upper and lower lines of that interval are suitable to draw by feeling.

We summarize theories from phenomena and feelings, and rely on theories to improve our behavior more efficiently. The ultimate goal is to let us get better feelings in life and get the phenomena we prefer.Theory is a tool, not the fundamental goal we are pursuing.The rules of the Disciplinary Office, departmental regulations, calculation of contribution points, etc. are all auxiliary means, and the ultimate goal is that Yunxia Sect disciples can do things that are beneficial to Yunxia Sect and themselves based on their feelings and brains.

Intuition, instinct, true self, comprehension.

In the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s time to start looking for your true self independently. How can you still be led by the nose by the general textbooks?The basic role of the Nascent Soul Stage in the Transformation Stage is roughly equivalent to the foundational role of the Qi Training Stage in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If it is not done well, it will not be a devastating disaster, but if it can be done well and properly, Then you can get twice the result with half the effort.

In terms of cultivation, Kunlun is more rational and ruthless, and pursues objectivity and absoluteness. The other nine schools in the top ten have more or less subjective and willful places that they must adhere to. Only in the form of scattered knowledge points will the elders give some individual guidance to the Nascent Soul stage.

I asked Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "How often do you feel relaxed and happy in your life? I mean, including during serious cultivation, do you often find it fun?"

Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "We believe that most of the time, cultivation is a matter of sailing against the current. You can intersperse some relaxation to let yourself take a breath, but after the breath is over, you still have to continue to swim upstream, and you must not slack off. Take a little slack now, In the future, it may take a lot of effort to make up for this point behind."

Me: "No. [-] is really not a fluke."

Kunlun Nascent Soul Stage: "Looking at this shining first, I feel that all the hard work is worth it. The sense of satisfaction and achievement in it overwhelms the pleasure that may be brought by laziness. The value of rest is that you can work harder after rest. Go all out and put in the work.”

Even the workaholic head Jiang said that he had already obtained enough happiness and relaxation in his work.If the work itself feels heavy and unenjoyable to him, he may not be fully engaged simply because of the great benefit in the outcome of the work.
