09108 - others' and own

Elder Huigu: "All sects make their teaching materials highly public. It is a habit that you have developed after the third catastrophe, which is the era you are in. In the era between the second and third catastrophes, there are temptations. Sexual communication, but it will never invite other sects to open the discussion every time a version of one’s own teaching materials is changed. In the era between the first and second catastrophes, the exercises were kept secret by each school, and there were endless incidents of stealing exercises. As for the second Before a catastrophe, each school's cultivation methods were not perfect, and they were still figuring out what path their own school should take, there was not much communication between the schools, and there were many battles."

Me: "Apart from the serious exchanges, didn't Yunxiazong steal Kunlun's Nascent Soul-level exercises? In an era where advanced exercises are admired and exercises are considered to represent everything, the temptation of Nascent Soul-level exercises is still very strong right?"

Elder Huigu: "The stolen exercises are incomplete, wrong, completely irrelevant to the exercises, and all kinds of problems have occurred. In the era of advocating advanced exercises, there are many ways to steal exercises, but precautions The method of stealing is equally subtle. Junmiaoliang Jianpai suffered a lot during that period, and it also suffered a lot. After suffering a lot, everyone realized that they could understand the exercises they got from the outside. If you understand the part thoroughly, you can use it with confidence; if you force yourself to practice the part you don’t understand, even if there is no problem with that part of the exercise itself, you will probably have accidents.”

Elder Huigu: "The problem is that the parts that can be read and understood are often consistent with the ideas of the original exercises. At this time, what is the difference between practicing foreign exercises and practicing your own original exercises?"

Elder Huigu: "A monk can only communicate with the exercises of other sects, and it is best to live in that sect and feel the atmosphere of that sect in order to get away from his own inherent thinking and understand the exercises of that sect. The true core. The higher the level of the exercises, the more so it is to understand."

Me: "The learning of entry-level exercises basically does not choose the environment. It can also be learned in the mortal world where there is almost no aura. The foundation-level exercises must at least be learned in an environment with aura, and the Jindan-level exercises are second-rate sects and above. Only the conditions for research, Nascent Soul-level exercises... Only the top ten can be studied, and only Kunlun can be practical."

Me: "But casual practitioners can learn exercises of all levels."

Elder Huigu: "Because loose cultivators don't pursue perfection and suit themselves, they use it first, and if there is a problem with the use, they throw away this one and use another one and continue to use it. They often mess with their bodies. On the one hand, casual cultivators He cares about the materials carefully, but on the other hand, he seems to feel that his body is an infinitely renewable resource, and there is no need for it, and he wants to use himself to fight against everything.”

Elder Huigu: "The casual cultivators may be willing to let go because there are very few things they can really grasp; the monks of the sect are concerned about the sect and feel that their lives can be exchanged for greater value, so they are not willing to casually. Take risks. Under different conditions, these two different styles will have different advantages, and the combination can cover the entire world and all environments."

09109 - melt together

Me: "My dad should have read the Kunlun Nascent Soul-level textbooks, right? I think he hinted at me like this, or called it explicit. Why didn't these insights include his?"

Elder Huigu: "He said that he used his relevant insights on you, let us observe you directly."

Me: "Even if I let him observe me, he should have written a lesson plan for me. Didn't he just be in the Nascent Soul stage... Oh no, you said that the experience that was opened to me this time is only from the Nascent Soul stage, not including transformation." Divine stage. So my father didn’t read Kunlun’s Nascent Soul-level textbooks when he was in the Nascent Soul stage? Did he remember to read it when he was in the Divine Stage?”

Elder Huigu: "Generally, we really recommend that when reading foreign sect textbooks, you only look down on the part of your own high level, and don't look at the same level as yourself. At the very least, you should suppress the small level of foreign sect textbooks when you read them, instead of letting them The teaching materials are several grades higher than yours. You really don’t have to worry about mistaking your exercises.”

Me: "Yunxiazong doesn't have Yuanying-level textbooks for me to practice. The exercises I use now have been adjusted by myself based on my previous learning experience. They are unique to me. would destroy my work."

Me: "And the teaching materials and exercises are still not the same. The teaching materials are more inclined to list knowledge points, while the exercises are about the operation of spiritual power."

Elder Huigu shook his head: "The operation of your spiritual power contains all the knowledge you have learned. The higher the level of cultivation, the more the mind, body, spiritual power, soul, spiritual consciousness, etc. are integrated together, and the more you have learned, the more you have learned. The more you will resonate with the environment. Everything you have learned will be expressed in your spiritual power and temperament."

Me: "Then my current aura is enough for Yunxiazong? Will I be polluted by Kunlun aura?"

Elder Huigu: "You can rest assured for the time being, because if you are polluted, the Yunxia Sect's formation will kick you out."

Me: "It's not enough to kick people, right? When fellow Taoists from Kunlun came to Yunxiazong to play, the Yunxiazong formation didn't let them in."

Elder Huigu: "They came in as guests, and you stay here as a traitor, can it be the same thing?"

Me: "Why are you a traitor? Even if I am temporarily polluted by the Kunlun temperament, I can still purify it."

Elder Huigu: "If only the superficial aura is polluted, it should be automatically cleaned as soon as you step into the area covered by the Yunxia Sect's large formation. If the cleaning is not clean, it means that your core has been shaken. It cannot be said that you will immediately You will do things that endanger Yunxiazong, but once you are pushed again, you are likely to fall to the opposite side of Yunxiazong, so of course you must be kicked out from the inner sect first, and at the same time, in order not to let the wavering you pollute the opponent The Yunxia Sect is not a loyal outer disciple, so you can't stay in the outer sect either."

Me: "Besides, I have shaken the core Tao, which means I have lost my firmness in myself, so I am also not suitable to get along with the miscellaneous disciples who are confused about themselves, so all areas of Yunxiazong have no place for me .”

09110-Independence is equality

Elder Huigu: "When the cultivation base is still low, a little shaking of the mind is not a big problem, and it is easy to correct it; but after the cultivation base is high, the shaking becomes more and more difficult to appear, but once it occurs, it is extremely difficult to correct it. "Resoluteness" sometimes overlaps with "stubbornness". While Gao Xiuwei is pleased with his firmness, he also needs to be careful not to fall into the stubbornness of not listening to outside opinions."

Me: "I used to be able to pursue and suppress my cultivation without limit, but now, I have to learn to find 'moderation' in these fields that are respected by the entire cultivation world?"

Elder Huigu: "When you give up the perfect baby, you may have found a part of it. But it's hard to say whether you have really mastered this moderation, or if you forget it after a flash of inspiration, this will have to be followed up many times. Step-by-step judgment on key choices.”

Elder Huigu: "Okay, this chat is over, you go out and kick the hall, the whole world is waiting."

Me: "Wait, you haven't commented on my perception of the Kunlun Nascent Soul-level textbooks yet."

Elder Huigu: "What is there to comment on this? Your perception belongs to you alone. In the future, when another Yunxia Sect disciple reads the Kunlun Nascent Soul-level textbook, I will also let him see your perception, and he How much you can understand from your insights is his business, and I still don’t need to comment. I don’t care how Kunlun defines it. Anyway, I think that the monks in the Nascent Soul Stage should walk by themselves. They can count as much as they think, and don’t need a teacher. Great pointers."

Me: "If you use 'superior' to describe the teacher, the teaching department may have objections."

Elder Huigu: "There is a very clear upper-lower relationship between teachers and students, and between master and apprentice. Don't listen to the chicken soup saying that teachers and students, master and apprentice, parents and children are equal relationships. Bah, I have something to ask for from others." , My future is greatly influenced by the other party, and my life and thoughts become problems without the other party, but I still can’t correct my posture of being low and small? Is it stupid? Only when you have the ability to get rid of the other party and do it alone, can you talk on equality."

I:"……"

Elder Huigu: "For example, I don't have a completely equal relationship with you now, because you are still hoping that I can grant you more access to the Library Pavilion. One day you can bypass me and directly get the materials you want When we have the right to read, we are truly equal."

Me: "For this equal acquisition, as long as I become a god of transformation, or do I have to cultivate higher than you?"

Elder Huigu: "I can still temporarily block part of your father's reading rights."

09111-Professional

Me: "Because you are an expert on the issue of materials, and you have leapfrog judgment, other non-professional elders may need to have a higher level of comprehensive cultivation than you, in order to offset the weakness caused by the wrong major?"

Elder Huigu: "That's almost what it means."

Me: "Can I be regarded as a professional counterpart in terms of materials, and can I get started?"

Elder Huigu: "Guess."

Me: "I think it counts. So you have no professional advantage for me. I only need to be at the same level as yours... no, I only need to be at the same level as yours. When I was in the early stage of becoming a god, I could be in the data with you dialogue on an equal footing.”

Elder Huigu: "Oh? Are you sure?"

I thought about it, nodded: "OK."

Elder Huigu smiled: "In terms of materials, you are indeed a professional counterpart."

I was flattered, not only for Elder Huigu's smile, but also for her clear and unambiguous affirmation.

Then, unsurprisingly, Elder Huigu changed his meaning: "But you haven't gotten started in the sect's Zangshuge elder profession. Your judgment of the data is more biased towards the universal meaning. When you analyze the data, you stand on the basis of the data. The objective attributes of the Yunxia Sect, at most plus the eccentricity of the Yunxia Sect, but not the Zangshuge. For you, the status of the various departments within the Yunxia Sect is equal. If you have to choose some departments to be eccentric, You may choose the Discipline Department, the Mission Department, or even the Teaching Department, but the Library Pavilion cannot be ranked among the top three steadily, let alone become the unshakable No.1."

Me: "...What is Zangshuge's position?"

Elder Huigu: "So you agree with my judgment that you're 'not getting started' in this regard?"

Me: "Acknowledged. I am completely confused about this entry. I guess most of the staff in Zangshuge may not be regarded as insiders of Zangshuge? They are just doing a job in Zangshuge that can earn money, but for Zangshuge Don't have a strong sense of belonging? When they see that other departments have higher salaries and they meet the current recruitment requirements of that department, they may hand over their work in Zangshuge without any psychological burden, and then change to another department. The department is working."
