09416 - History of hypnosis

If they haven't texted me, or have texted me but expressed their distaste for me, I don't send congratulatory texts that are likely to harass them.But the proportion of this type among the new disciples of Yunxia Sect in recent years is so low that I can hardly find them.And there are quite a few of the only ones that although I don't care about my congratulations, I don't mind if others receive the congratulations and I don't receive them, so I still sent them.

Brother doesn't care about these objective factors, he only cares that his three new apprentices value me more than him.Among his three new apprentices, he is more "Pei Lin's elder brother" than "Master", and maybe "Elder Pei Ji's son" is also more important than "Master".The most critical issue is that if the old brother's goal is to find a disciple who feels that "Pei Sen is more famous than Pei Lin" among the new disciples, then he probably can only temporarily stop the idea of ​​​​accepting new disciples.

Among the new disciples of Yunxia Sect, there are some who are not familiar with me or who are tired of me, but at the same time feel that my brother is famous and very admirable. I swear by my information gathering ability, there is none.

Most of the Nascent Soul Stage is too far away for children in the Qi Training Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage.Even though those Nascent Soul Stages themselves did a lot of wonderful things and are considered celebrities in the Nascent Soul Circle, most of the things they did happened before the children were born, or even happened to the parents of the children. [-]. Before the grandparents were born, even if the child heard it occasionally, it felt like listening to a historical story, and it was difficult to leave traces in memory.

Thinking about the proportion and length of students dozing off in history class, and thinking about the expressions of students who are dying to recite before the history exam, it is obvious that no matter how many historical events are in the eyes of history makers, witnesses and history experts Magnificent and charming, in the eyes of most children, this is a hypnotic, forgettable thing that is not memorized for exams.

The elder brother really can't complain that the apprentice's heart is not on him, it only shows that in the definition of a child, he is not interesting.Back then, the elder brother was able to receive Zeng Qi as his apprentice because of his affection for playing games with Zeng Qi. Now facing three new apprentices, how could he only be kind and show off his master's airs?It's really getting better and better.

However, although I think that the image of the elder brother in his apprentice's heart is not to his liking, it is mainly his problem, not mine, but I am not very good at making him feel bad.If I were a third party, then I could still say a few words objectively and neutrally, but in fact, I am the enemy who competes with my brother for his apprentice's attention, so what I say on this will seem like a sarcasm.

09417-generation gap

Me: "Okay, then, I sincerely apologize to you for being in the limelight where I shouldn't be."

Brother: "It sounds like I'm showing off."

Me: "You're overthinking."

Brother: "The monk's communication is connected to the spiritual thread, and we are both in Yunxiazong now, do you think I can perceive the emotions contained in your spiritual thread?"

I first reflected on whether I was showing off.

Pei Bing: "I don't know if I'm showing off, but it's true that you think brother is wrong."

Mao Qiu: "It's just an apology, it must be insincere."

I forcibly argued to my brother: "After all, there are very few spirit threads in the communication, and now I am too close to the secret realm of the mist that specializes in torturing the mind, so you may confuse the spiritual energy scattered by the mist with my spiritual thread , and then planted your own sour emotions on my head..."

Me: "I'm sorry." This excuse is indeed too lofty.

Brother: "Do you think I'm the only one who is unhappy because the apprentice puts his heart on you too much? Although many masters in the Nascent Soul stage do have a crush on you, so they don't mind talking more about you with the apprentice. An anecdote, as a way to get closer to the master-student relationship, but you should know that there are still some Nascent Soul Stages that really don’t want to see you. What is the latter Nascent Soul Stage when you want to accept new apprentices in recent decades? Bad mood, do you need me to interpret it for you?"

Me: "Among the new disciples of Yunxia Sect, there are indeed many new disciples who have a good impression of me, but there are only a small proportion of disciples who have such a high degree of affection that they will continue to express their love for me in front of the master after they find out that their master doesn't want to see me. Most of the new disciples The love for me is only based on the appreciation of beauty and the fact that I look the most familiar in the high-level cultivation base. This will not affect their serious life. I am just an adjustment to them. Including your three new apprentices, if they don’t know me It's your own younger brother, and we have a very good relationship, so they won't chatter about me in front of you shortly after they become apprentices."

Me: "They let you hear them talking about me not to show you that they like me more, but to prove to you that they have a common topic with you. Start with a common topic, communicate more and find out each other's temperament , you can talk about more different topics until you get a very high affinity. It’s what you just said: as a way to draw closer the relationship between master and apprentice.”

Brother: "Your explanation is a little more pleasing to the ear."

Me: "It makes sense, right? Among the new generation of children, there are many who are familiar with my face and can call me by my name, but there are very few fanatics. I am already considered a historical figure to them. Although I am a A historical figure who is still alive, but... a bit outdated, once I am too popular, I feel as if I have the aesthetics of my grandparents, not rebellious, not fashionable, not cool."

Me: "Of course, my beauty belongs to the objective reality. It cannot be denied, and I cannot be called ugly, but it can be said that I am not new. The new generation of people needs more novel beauties."

Brother: "..."

Me: "The older generation tends to be nostalgic for the old, while the new generation yearns for innovation. Can you understand this generation gap?"

09418 - Loose Cultivators in the sect

Brother: "Why did I read the feeling of showing off from your spiritual thread when you said that you are outdated?"

Me: "It means that you really misunderstood me just now. What I'm showing off is not that I have a higher status in anyone's heart than you, but that I have a deeper understanding of things than you."

Brother: "Oh? Profound?"

Me: "I won't blame others because my apprentice has shown something that makes me uncomfortable."

Brother: "Wouldn't Leger feel bad to hear that?"

Me: "I mean Pei Wuyao."

Brother: "The old apprentice is indeed very thick-skinned. So is Zeng Qi, and you are even more so. Considering that the length of time as an apprentice is proportional to the thickness of the skin, maybe I should take in a particularly thin-skinned apprentice next time?"

Me: "You haven't taken care of the three newly recruited apprentices yet, so you're thinking about accepting apprentices next time? Why don't you consider your upper limit of ability?"

Brother: "One sheep is raised, and a hundred sheep is herded. After there are more apprentices, they can take care of and inspire each other, which can save me a lot of trouble."

Me: "The advantage of the master-student relationship lies in one-to-one teaching. If there are too many apprentices, if one-on-one cannot be achieved, why should the children learn from a teacher? Regularly participate in group classes, and when you encounter problems you don't understand, just find someone who looks at you. The talkative senior asked, isn't it over? You don't have to endure the more or less strange temper of the master."

Me: "Actually, if a sect cultivator does not have a teacher, he can be regarded as a casual cultivator in a sense? If the sect is regarded as the world, then the disciples under the same master name can be regarded as members of the same organization." , and the two groups of people with different masters but the same ancestor can be regarded as two closely related organizations. Registered disciples are the outer sect in the organization, official disciples are the inner sect, and personal disciples have higher authority."

Me: "If a disciple of a sect doesn't rely on any master at all, and only sorts out his own cultivation steps according to the big lessons and sporadic seniors' instructions, even if he has not joined the master organization in the sect, he is considered a casual cultivator in this sect?"

Brother: "I didn't become a teacher but became a long-term employee of a certain department?"

Me: "Oh, yes, in addition to the master organization, there are also departmental organizations in the sect, and there may be other organizations. In short, a disciple of the sect must not join any of these organizations to be regarded as a casual cultivator within the sect."

09419-Unless you are an all-rounder

Brother: "There may have been this in the early years, but now entering the inner sect is basically equivalent to having a master's fancy."

Me: "But there are also those who find out that they are not compatible with each other shortly after apprenticeship, and then end the master-student relationship. After losing their master, they do not deprive them of their status as inner disciples. There are also former outer disciples who won the championship and entered the inner sect every session. There will always be one or two out of ten that Master is not willing to accept."

Old brother: "But the proportion of such people becoming talented is very small. It means that no matter what path they take, casual cultivators will encounter more obstacles in cultivation than regular sect disciples. The modern cultivation world is probably really not suitable for fighting alone. "

Maoqiu: "Even spirit beasts that don't need to cultivate like to cuddle together. Not only weak spirit beasts will find backers, even beasts like Xiatuan whose upper limit is at the Mahayana level will rely on Yunxiazong. Ordinary people have chosen to leave from the very beginning. Group route. So, probably the Spirit Star Master World is suitable for this?"

Although there is nothing wrong with the form of groups and organizations, if there is only this form, if the chance of an individual reaching the peak is completely cut off, then... no, although today's top powerhouses all have organizational backgrounds, the powerhouses are still Individuals, they use the resources of the organization to achieve themselves, rather than becoming puppets of the organization.It's not because going it alone is not good, but because contemporary resources are too concentrated. If a lone traveler can't get the resources, he will easily waste part of his qualifications.

So the question comes back to the resources that the cultivation world has been talking about.If the resources are inexhaustible, then going alone or uniting are just different choices, and if the resources are so scarce that careful calculation is necessary, then the organization that has figured out the system and set up multi-directional professional departments will naturally have an advantage over the blind solo.

If you still expect a real casual cultivator who keeps a distance from any organization in the contemporary era—more independent than Senior Pu Songyan, and must at least reach the cultivation level of the gods—then it may mean that this casual cultivator is required to be alone It has all the advantages of a first-class sect.It not only has the ability to handle work and deal with others in the mission department, but also has the technology to make delicious food in the cafeteria; it has the level of understanding of materials in the style of Zangshuge, and the understanding of the teaching department to explain the knowledge in simple terms...

All-around talent.You can quickly get what you need in any environment.He doesn't need others to take care of him, he can take care of himself.For him, the speed-up cultivation method with many resources in places with many resources also has the advantage of self-polishing in places with few resources. Any environment can be his help, and all resistance is another meaning help.
