Me: "But in fact, if we put aside the master, sect, practice channel and even the spiritual environment, and just read the teaching materials like children who have not yet practiced Qi, we will find that the teaching materials seem to have no effect except for the contents of the teaching materials. In addition to the pure theory, it also includes all external information that we can use for our cultivation, such as the key instructions of the master, the channel phone number for applying for tasks, and the way to obtain tickets for some secret realms. Some of the information may be written in a relatively simple and simple way, but there is nothing we The information that must be used is not mentioned in the textbook."

Elder Cao Guo: "The teaching materials are indeed the essence of the school's accumulated experience in cultivating disciples. However, it may be because the writing is too essential and universal, so a teacher must update the teaching plan according to the specific situation of each generation of disciples, so that everyone I understand. If you only let the students read the teaching materials by themselves, then the chance of falling asleep is higher. As for letting the students practice according to the exercises in the teaching materials, the probability of practice is too high. In fact, even if many students have a master There are often some strange problems in pointing exercises, which makes it impossible for the master who is doing one-on-one pointing to guard against."

Elder Cao Guo: "It can be said that every master in the sect gives instructions to the apprentices from the teaching materials of the sect. The different teaching methods shown by different masters of the same sect are just different interpretations of the same set of textbooks. Being a master is based on the teaching materials. When a new universal teaching plan is developed that can be used on many other juniors other than his disciples, that new plan will also be included in the teaching materials to guide more disciples of the sect."

Elder Cao Guo: "To put it to the extreme, the teaching materials can be regarded as the core of the sect, and everything in the sect can be regarded as being laid out around the teaching materials. Including the organization, the atmosphere, the terms of the discipline department, the process of the task department, and even the menu of the cafeteria, all , are serving the teaching materials.”

Me: "No, right? Disciples should be the core of the sect. Everything in the sect, including the textbooks, is for the disciples. As long as the disciples are still there, even if the textbooks are lost or destroyed, they can be rebuilt; and if the disciples don't If there is no more students, or no child who fits the main purpose of the sect can be found to become a disciple, then no matter how perfect the teaching materials are, they must be overthrown and discarded.”

Elder Cao Guo: "What do you mean by 'conforming to the purpose of the sect'? What can reflect the purpose of a sect?"

Me: "It is definitely not a written textbook. The main idea is a feeling. It should be just right, not overflowing, and it will change frequently as various factors change. It is not on paper, and every adjustment requires a group of people. Discussion, even a change of punctuation cannot be sloppy textbooks can accommodate. Textbooks can at most become the foundation of this sect, and what can be built on the foundation depends on the efforts of each generation of disciples. The foundation must be solid, but life and practice Both require a lot of change and freshness.”

Me: "Are you really the elder of Yanxing Sect? Elder Cao Guo has always had a more reliable image outside, why are you talking nonsense?"

All the surrounding disciples of Yanxing Sect took a few steps back.

The elf hanging on my clothes in various poses asked Xiao Sui: "Before Pei Lin is beaten by this transformation stage, is there any hope for us to enter your space? If there is no hope at all, please tell us immediately, so we can hurry up!" Find another place to hide. If we are involved in the fight between the transformation stage and the Nascent Soul stage, we may be forced to disappear. Although the death of the elves is just the beginning of another new life, and the newborn elves can fully inherit The memory of the old elves, the connection between life and death of the old and new elves is exceptionally smooth, but it is still different."

Elf: "Can you understand? No matter how smooth the connection is, life, death, and resurrection are all different."

Xiao Sui: "Well, I know. It's like when the master thought he had a previous life, and after he found out that he just got the memory of someone from another world, even though his essence hasn't changed, he still feels that there is something wrong with him. It’s the same. It seems that the self who only got the memory no longer bears the burden of the previous life.”

Whether it was my previous life or just a memory, there is no heaviness.Just the life of a mortal who died young.In my life, I have observed the lives of many, many mortals, some died of death, some died unexpectedly, some only chatted through the communicator, and some met face-to-face... When the number increases, it seems that they are all just a part of the data , even myself seems to be just a piece of data.

Elf: "The enemy is at hand, can you stop being crooked? Please make it clear first: Are you going to protect us or not?"

Xiao Sui: "If we say that we can't protect you, you will have to find another job, right?"

Elf: "It is a strategic retreat first, and we will come back after you are safe. Don't worry, it is very difficult to find a place in this world that is more beautiful and suitable for us than what you can provide. With our elves' knowledge of the world , It can almost be said that you are unique to us. I mean, only for us elves born in your space, your existence is unique and it is almost impossible to be replaced."

Xiao Sui: "Although a lot of restrictions were added in the end, but for the sake of your compliments... All right, you come in."

Xiao Sui opened the space door, and the elves sneaked in, distracting the disciples from Yan Xingmen who was nervous that I was going to be beaten by the transformation stage, and then showed regret.

Elder Cao Guo was not interrupted. She asked me: "If there is a big gap between me, Cao Guo, and your cognition, do you think your cognition is wrong, or am I a fake? You want to overthrow Did you just confirm the judgment of 'Yanxingmen, mid-stage of transformation, body cultivation'?"

Me: "Not to overthrow, but to be more certain. I mistook Pu Yu Lingbao for Senior Pu Songyan before. If you are the spirit of the Lingbao that Elder Cao Guo warmed up with great care, then many of your characteristics can indeed be equated with Cao's." Elder Guo, to scare outsiders, but I judge that this is not the case for you, you are not a certain spirit treasure of Elder Cao Guo who can pretend to be Elder Cao Guo, you are Elder Cao Guo himself."

Elder Cao Guo: "So your conclusion is that the information you previously knew about me was wrong?"

Me: "It's not a mistake, it's just not comprehensive enough. I only know what you look like on certain occasions, but I don't know your image on other occasions."

Elder Cao Guo: "Really?"

Several Nascent Soul Stages looked at me and shook their heads slightly.

I thought about it and answered Elder Cao Guo: "Yes. I will confirm my answer again."

Elder Cao Guo smiled and punched me out of Yanxing Gate.

Even though I had already tightened my skin as expected, my whole body was still in pain as if it was about to disintegrate—that punch touched my defensive spiritual power, and a fist seemed to be divided into countless parts, giving every trace of spiritual power to me. They all punched me, forming an all-round blow to me without any dead ends, and my defensive spiritual power seemed to have also become a boost for her attack, strengthening the strength of her fist.

Physical cultivation... From the Qi training stage to the Nascent Soul stage, they focus on strengthening the body, so when they enter the stage of transformation into the gods, which is a stage of cultivation that puts aside the body, they regard divine consciousness, spiritual power and other powers as physical bodies to deal with it?In terms of energy, the body, soul, and spiritual power can be equated. The spiritual power of other professions is regarded as the key to carrying the spiritual consciousness, while the physical cultivation regards the body as the key, and the ghost cultivation has always valued only soul?

Seeing me getting beaten up, many disciples of the Yanxing Sect, headed by Yuan Yingqi, chased me out. I greeted me and sent me medicine and clothes to those who barely managed to get up before they arrived. Thank you , I really don't wear these.

Disciple of Yanxing Sect: "Although Elder Cao Guo must have a sharp head in his hand, it won't really hurt you, but, is the pain too heart-piercing?"

I hold back: "It's okay, it's a little bit gentler than when my father whipped me. After all, Elder Cao Guo doesn't know me as well as my father does. She can't hold me back."

Disciple of Yanxing Sect: "Oh, it is good to have experience. I am most afraid that you will have too much psychological shadow when encountering this for the first time. You will walk around our Yanxing Sect disciples in the future. You have to believe that most of the Yanxing Sect disciples are Gentle and doting on cute animals. We are sweet and lovely nuns."

I:"……"

When the disciples of the Yanxing Sect show favor or weakness with gender, it feels like Sect Leader Jiang is saying that he is a fool - it's like writing "conspiracy" on his face.

The disciple of Yanxing Sect looked at my expression and laughed: "Fellow Daoist Pei, your understanding of gender issues is really in line with our pursuit of Yanxing Sect: equality. In your opinion, talking about gender is very strange. Not only Fortunately for us, the mention of gender makes you vigilant reflexively, and other monks say a certain gender, so you will feel that the brain circuit is not connected with them."

Disciple of Yan Xingmen: "You didn't feel that it is inappropriate to distinguish temperament and style by gender after a rational analysis, but you have developed this matter into intuition, irrationality, and instinct. You believe from the bottom of your heart that occupations and sects may be used to distinguish different people. factors, but gender and race cannot.”

Me: "At any rate, I have already entered the Nascent Soul stage. I was not so firm at the Zhujin Dan stage."

Disciple of Yanxing Sect: "No, this was already the case during the foundation building period before you entered Yuanying. We don't know much about your Qi training period. You didn't reveal much about yourself at that time, but if you want to come, At least you don’t feel that being a man is inherently superior to a woman.”

Me: "Basically, I have received orthodox cultivation education from the very beginning, and in the orthodox cultivation theory, there is no distinction between genders - there is a distinction between races, especially Yunxiazong only systematically teaches human disciples, so for other Race...is not discriminatory, it's just not fully treated as one's own."

Disciple of Yanxing Sect: "The earliest theory of cultivation had a distinction between genders. In the era when our Yanxing Sect was established, there was still a distinction. It was believed that men were more comprehensively suitable for cultivation, while women only had to discard some of their femininity and look like men. Only after getting closer can we have a future on the road of cultivation."

Me: "Isn't that right? Cultivation has always emphasized balance and the coordination of yin and yang. Although 'yin and yang' here do not only refer to men and women, if some male monks are so narrow-minded that they think women are not suitable for cultivation and think that they correspond to 'yang', and It is believed that yang is higher than yin, if this becomes a common perception, and it is known that the proportion of male practitioners at that time was significantly higher than that of female, then what kind of yin was found to balance yang at that time?"
