09160 - Preparation for Exams

A few Nascent Soul Stages looked at the gatekeeper disciple who had cultivated to the Golden Core Stage.The gatekeeper disciple was fearless: "What are you looking at? We are one of the outermost defensive forces of the Yunxia Sect. When we put forward opinions based on our job responsibilities, the elders of the Huashen stage should also consider one or two things. You Nascent Soul Stage Arrogant what?"

Nascent Soul Stage: "Who is being arrogant?"

I waved to the onlookers at the Jindan Foundation Establishment Qi Training Period, and led them into the Yunxia Sect. By the way, I asked the low-level practitioners: "What do the Foundation Establishment Periods in their teens and 20s like?"

A foundation building period: "I have had enough fun, and finally remembered that I still have an apprentice to support me?"

Me: "I haven't played enough, and I suspect that my apprentice has almost forgotten me."

Jin Danqi: "That's not true. Pei Wuyao is seriously preparing for the entrance exam."

The serious way is to walk around the main peak every day, claiming that he is taking the time to experience and comprehend the characteristics of the Yunxia Sect disciples at close range, but when asked what he has comprehended, his answer is: "I can only comprehend it."

And asked him if he was sure he would pass the exam.

He said: "If fate is in place, there is hope."

I told him that I thought he might pass the entrance exam if he went to see Tianmen, but this kid even contradicted me: "I think you are too, Master."

I threatened him: "I am seriously considering accepting one of the disciples who passed the entrance examination this year as an apprentice. If you also pass the entrance examination, then the newly accepted one will be your apprentice; if you fail the examination, I will be your apprentice The relationship between master and apprentice is severed, and that child will become my new big apprentice."

Pei Wuyao: "I will try my best to stay, so that you will not teach me again, Master. I will pass the education courses for my junior brother. Teacher Kong clearly stated that I am more suitable to be a teacher than you."

Me: "Fellow Daoist Kong has a prejudice against me, and has always refused to speak frankly about me."

Pei Wuyao: "Teacher Kong's eyes will not stay on you anymore, he has already looked at all the junior disciples of Yunxia Sect, and has become an excellent educator. Even the door of the teaching place like you may not be blocked. Seniors who are allowed to step in, Teacher Kong thinks watching you is a waste of his time."

Me: "You don't want the exercise guidance for the next stage, do you?"

Pei Wuyao: "If you don't give it to me, I will sue the Discipline Department and say that you bullied the small, failed to perform the duties of Master, and delayed my cultivation. Master said that the Discipline Department will take care of this matter."

Could it be true that they are relatives from the next generation?How many times has my master given me such a definite answer?

09161- Looking up, looking down and looking up

Me: "What else did your master say?"

Pei Wuyao: "The ancestor also said that when I encounter problems in cultivation, I can ask the Jindan Yuanying Huashen stage in the inner sect at will. Although those seniors may not answer me patiently and in detail, they all At least give me some pointers. For example, take a few seconds to demonstrate a sword move for me, or tell me a name for me to ask the other party, or tell me a book title for me to read... In short, as long as I use If I ask with a serious attitude, I will definitely get an answer, even if it is not an answer that directly answers my question, it will at least give me a direction to think about.”

Pei Wuyao: "Master said, Master, you have proved the feasibility of this questioning method through long-term practical actions."

Me: "Actually, I don't ask so broadly. I mean, when I have a serious question, I usually catch a few specific people, such as the head of Jiang, the elder Huigu, your master and great master, and the department manager." Wait, ordinary seniors are usually not disturbed."

Pei Wuyao: "What is an 'ordinary senior'? Didn't you say that any senior has something worth learning from?"

Me: "It's that they are worthy of my learning. Either I am not interested in learning them for the time being, or I don't need to spend extra energy and just continue my normal cultivation process, and then I can learn them naturally. That is, they are not strong enough to make me doubt that I can't." Go beyond them. In my eyes, they don't have the halo of the strong."

Pei Wuyao: "Is it because they don't have a halo in reality and objectively, or do you think they don't have it subjectively?"

Me: "Of course it's subjective. So it is possible to make a mistake in judgment. It is possible that a person I don't care about at the moment and who is relatively despised will become a strong person I look up to a hundred years later. And suffered his revenge."

Me: "But it's impossible for me to adopt an attitude of looking up at everyone from the beginning of my acquaintance because of a one-thousandth chance of misjudging. I would be very uncomfortable."

Pei Wuyao: "Can't you keep looking up? Can you only look up or look down?"

Me: "I'm working hard in the direction of eye level, but it's impossible to be so fair all the time, just like my attitude towards outsiders and Yunxia Sect disciples can't be the same. As long as you have feelings, you will definitely have biases, likes and dislikes." I don't like it. Fairness can only become transient, and eccentricity is the norm."

Pei Wuyao: "It must be more comfortable to look down than to look up when dealing with others?"

Me: "It's a matter of degree. For me, if I look down on someone else's dignity and prevent them from developing a strong opportunity, I will feel very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than when others try to treat me like that. Because others make things difficult for me , I think I have the ability and opportunity to defeat the opponent. If I fail, I can at least control myself to fight and die vigorously. After death, it will be over; but if I become the person who makes things difficult for others, I will feel that I Disgusting, so filthy that even death can't wash me out."

Me: "But if I just hold my head up and show off to others: I have money, I can buy a lot of things, and I can't control my financial resources. I am very comfortable whether others like to listen to me. It is better than others to show off to me. , but I was forced to listen, much more comfortable."

09162-Master said

Pei Wuyao: "The point is whether you are forced. If others show off, but you don't hear it, you won't feel uncomfortable, right?"

Me: "But when someone speaks in front of me, it's hard for me not to hear it. Especially if what he mentioned is exactly what I yearn for and is not doing well enough, I will really envy or even envy, and then he will say Show off succeeded."

Pei Wuyao: "When you are better than others in all aspects, others can't successfully show off in front of you, right? They can only listen to you show off. You can show off as much as you want."

Me: "Yes, that is a beautiful fantasy, but it is impossible to realize it. No monk can be stronger than all other monks in all aspects."

Pei Wuyao: "You don't need to be strong in all aspects, you only need to be strong in the aspects you care about."

Me: "But when the cultivation base is high enough, the monk will inevitably feel that everything in the world is related to him, that is, he will care about more and more aspects, until there is nothing he doesn't care about."

Pei Wuyao: "Elder Gao Yi doesn't seem to be so... fraternal?"

Me: "Oh, when I analyze a problem, I mainly base myself on myself. My future goal is to include the whole world."

Pei Wuyao: "Come on."

Me: "Do I need you to coax me?"

Pei Wuyao: "The ancestor said, you can coax it appropriately, anyway, it doesn't cost money. Do you really not hear me when I talk to the ancestor? Even if I allow you to monitor me all the time, but when I am in the teacher My permission will also be invalid when I am in front of my ancestors?"

Me: "It mainly depends on whether your master wants me to hear it or not."

Pei Wuyao: "Generally, do you want to or don't want to?"

Me: "You're asking me to beat my apprentice knowingly again."

Pei Wuyao: "Master said, from time to time, I look a little like you when you were a child. It's not about appearance, but temperament, that kind of silly cub feeling. Master can't help being soft-hearted towards me."

Me: "... Your master told you that directly? Did you graft your great master's words onto your master's head?"

Pei Wuyao: "Will Master Zeng deliberately stop you from listening to what I'm talking to?"

Me: "Sometimes."

Pei Wuyao: "Oh... that's what the master himself said. It's almost the original sentence."

09163-Help pick apprentices

I think Pei Wuyao's temperament is very compatible with the Yunxia Sect's inner sect. If he fails the Yunxia Sect's entrance exam, I will be very puzzled, and even question whether I understand Yunxia Sect.

As expected, Pei Wuyao passed the entrance examination.During the exam, Pei Wuyao also caught a young man who was unwilling to talk to him and a young man who was willing to get close to him, and asked for credit to me and his master: "I found a new apprentice for you. I think Le Ge is very suitable. To be my junior brother, Jin Yuyuan is especially suitable to be my senior uncle."

Le Ge is a young man who is not willing to talk to Pei Wuyao, while Jin Yuyuan is a young man who is too close to Pei Wuyao.

Me: "Do you want someone who is cold and annoying to look at you to be your junior brother, and you want to call someone who is willing to serve you tea and water to be your junior uncle?"

Pei Wuyao: "No matter what identity Jin Yuyuan is, he will greet me with a smile when I look for him; and if Lege becomes my uncle, he will have a more reasonable identity to ignore me. But if Lege Ge became my junior brother, so I could use my senior brother's airs to force him to talk to me. So, Lege became my junior brother and Jin Yuyuan became my senior uncle, and I can often communicate with them both."

This logic...doesn't seem to be wrong?

Pei Wuyao: "Furthermore, Master is good at teaching apprentices. If Lege becomes Master's apprentice, he may soon be able to cultivate higher than me. At that time, good guy, his seniority is higher than mine, and his cultivation is higher than mine. I Wouldn't there be no chance to pester him again? But Master, you teach your apprentices in a mess, and you still need Le Ge as your apprentice, at least you need me as a senior brother to help him straighten out your messy apprenticeship process in the early stage, so it will naturally You have a lot of communication with me. When Lege adapts to your apprenticeship style like me, Lege has also adapted to the existence of me as a senior brother by the way, and he will be close to me."

Pei Wuyao said these words in front of Le Ge and Jin Yuyuan, Le Ge blushed, and Jin Yuyuan also showed some helplessness.

Let me comfort these two qi training periods first: "Pei Wuyao can't decide who I accept as an apprentice, let alone arrange elder Pei Ji's apprenticeship plan." The father's resistance to the issue of apprenticeship, even so many elders, stewards, and three The current and the previous head are the same, and a mere disciple and grandson can turn things around?

Legge lowered his head in confusion: "We already know about Pei Wuyao...Senior sometimes speaks casually, we didn't take it too seriously, and we didn't really think that you and Elder Pei Ji would accept us."

Jin Yuyuan: "However, if it can come true, we will still be very happy. Our efforts to hold our thighs were not in vain."

Le Ge whispered: "I didn't mean to hug my thigh."

Me: "I see, Lege, you wanted to stay away from Pei Wuyao at the beginning."
