1608_Someone who forcibly retreats

My sister: "Who told you that there is no intermission in retreat? Shut up if you don't understand, you little brat who has never retreated for more than three days."

Me: "Don't close it if you can't go on. There is also an intermission. The reason for retreat is because there is something in your heart that must be quietly settled in a solitary environment. If you can't wait to communicate with others, then lock yourself in the room It’s meaningless. The mind is flying out of the door, what’s the use of being locked up? Closing up is not about training the body.”

Afterwards, my sister refused to communicate with me any more. I asked my dad if it was wrong for her to retreat, and my dad said:

"It's not quite right, but it's not too wrong. Generally speaking, you will be engrossed in retreat and have no time to pay attention to the outside world. However, in some cases, you are not reflecting on your own gains during retreat, but understanding the retreat itself. That is to let yourself Calm down, use external restraints to calm yourself down, let yourself enter a state of concentration."

Me: "Does that make sense?"

Dad: "There are times when the heart is very impetuous."

Me: "But impetuousness, shouldn't it be vented? Forcing retreat is to forcibly suppress one's emotions, isn't that bad?"

Dad: "It depends on the situation. Sometimes, it is necessary."

Me: "When? Sister's situation? What's her situation? She has been in seclusion for a long time, and has been so oppressive? Or is it good and bad?"

Dad: "You have two choices. First, ask her directly; second, you will know when you experience a similar situation yourself in the future."

……Oh.

I tried to ask my elder sister without hope, but she didn’t answer my communication at all. My elder brother kindly helped me forward the question to a senior sister, and then asked that senior sister to forward it to my sister——my communication also failed. Blocked by the old lady - the old lady's reply was concise and clear, just one word: 'Get lost'.

She didn't even type punctuation, and replied both me and my brother in two words, which shows that she simplified her language in anger and refused to communicate. Maybe the intermission is over and she has entered a closed state again.

1609_There is a problem

After Senior Sister Bu finished the unilateral fight and left, Bai Qishen stood in front of me and invited to fight: "Senior Brother Pei, come and fight seriously. Until the winner or loser is decided, a tie doesn't count, and please don't consume me with pure dodge .”

That's a lot to ask for.But it doesn't matter if you fight, the time I have to fight with monks of the same level is really limited.

The result of the fight is that I win.This is obvious, Bai Qishen's attack can't hit me, but mine can hit him, so as long as I attack, I must win.

Brother Ji Xuebo from the Disciplinary Department stopped when he passed by us, and when we finished fighting, he said, "There is a problem."

What problems can there be in fighting between the two foundation building stages?When Jin Danqi hit me just now, you all showed that there is no problem with your actions.

Senior Brother Ji Xuebo: "Second Young Master, what's the matter with your sword intent? It's very beautiful to suit you, but why is it so divided?"

Bai Qishen: "Huh? Are those flowers sword intent? I thought it was a blindfold, and I wanted to say that this blindfold seems weird, but it feels really beautiful."

Senior Brother Ji Xuebo: "Of course it's the sword intent, it's a part of the sword. No matter how you say it, the second young master is also a sword cultivator. In the daily sparring in the sect, there is also a blind eye. Elder Pei will not be able to pass that test."

Are you implying that if I can find an excuse outside the sect or within the sect, I don't necessarily have to follow the rules of sword repair?

Me: "I just discovered my sword intent not long ago, and I'm not yet fully proficient. It's still in the running-in stage. Please brother Ji for advice."

Senior Brother Ji: "...the sword intent still needs to be tempered? Isn't it naturally produced when using the sword, and it will be used naturally afterward?"

I have no common language with those of you who are naturally good swordsmen.

There are currently three elders sitting in a department of the Disciplinary Department, and all three elders are sword cultivators, and this number is not yet the peak in history.You must know that in such an important place as Zangshu Pavilion, there is only Elder Huigu who is resident, and most of the other departments can have an elder guarding it, even if it is a large department, so the number of elders in the Discipline Department represents that the Discipline Department is the most important in the sect. Important sector, not even one?

Well, it is true that the Discipline Department is important, but it is not the No. 1 ranking.The reason for the large number of elders in the Discipline Department is to be able to calm down when the elders need to be punished. This is also the reason why all the elders in the Discipline Department are sword cultivators.Violent institutions, violence must be in place.

1610_ has not changed

There are so many sword repair elders in the Discipline Department for a long time, which has a side effect, that is, the staff of the Discipline Department—and basically all of them are sword repairers—are also of a very high level.It can be said that the sword cultivators in the Discipline Department are the elite among the sword cultivators of the Yunxia Sect. Therefore, our sword cultivators are proud to be in the Discipline Department. Even those who don’t like to take care of things are willing to be soy sauce in the Discipline Department for a period of time Employees, in their words, are nurtured by the elite atmosphere.

Anyway, some of the staff in the Disciplinary Department don't have to do their daily work, they just work as thugs when the discipline-violating disciples resist - that's what the little uncle did back then.

That's why, the sword cultivators in the Discipline Department have very high-end vision, and after judging others by themselves, they tend not to understand the troubles of non-elites.

I told Senior Brother Ji about the process of discovering my sword intent, and Senior Brother Ji exclaimed, "Is this still possible?"

Yeah, that's it for me, what are you going to do?

I was upset, but in fact I was a villain, because Brother Ji's next sentence was: "I'll ask other people." Then he asked me again, "Have you asked Elder Pei?"

Me: "Not yet, they're still in a meeting."

Brother Ji: "Oh, yes. But Elder Tian has already left the meeting. I saw Elder Tian went to the Discipline Peak... If we can't discuss the results, and the meeting between Elder Pei and the others is still delayed, you can try Just ask Elder Tian...it might be possible."

But what can.Elder Tian... the master who can't make a single sound with eight sticks. It's more difficult to get an explanation from him than to find my father.My father had a detailed answer but he was too lazy to tell me, and Elder Tian really felt that there was nothing to say.

It's so simple and needs an explanation?Elder Tian has always been so incomprehensible to the doubts of the juniors.

Elder Tian's name is Tianzhuo, he is a true natural swordsman, the god who made Jianzong covetously back then.Good spiritual roots, good comprehension, good concentration, good luck, good mentality, good looks... Before the appearance of the little master uncle, the favorite of our sect was the elder Tian.

But unlike the little uncle, Elder Tian didn't care at all or probably didn't realize that other people in the sect treated him preferentially or made fun of him. He just trained, set out missions, explored, and grew up step by step every day.

Until he became the stage of transforming gods, Elder Tian’s daily life was not fundamentally different from when he first entered Yunxia Sect and was still in the Qi training stage. Of course, the training items, tasks that he could do, and places he could go to were all more high-end, but high-end attributes It does not affect their classification, these are still daily training, sect missions, personal adventures...

Day after day, year after year, hundreds of years have not changed.

Talented and hardworking, there is no reason not to succeed, isn't there?Many monks admire Elder Tian very much. This is a person who may not be liked by others, but he will definitely not slander him.

1611_Why?

What makes me strange is that the outside world's evaluation of Elder Tian is lower than that of my father. When it comes to the elders of Yunxiazong who are most likely to impact Mahayana, people say that No. 1 is my father, not Elder Tian. Less than the top three.If these evaluations are subjective, from objective data, Elder Tian’s cultivation level is slightly lower than my father’s, but he is older than my father, that is, Elder Tian’s cultivation time is longer than my father’s. The root is a single spiritual root, which is also better than my father.

"Why?" I asked my dad.

My father: "How do you want me to explain to you the cultivation level of the god-forming stage?"

Me: "You don't need to explain too much, you can boast about it casually, and I'll just listen, but I don't really want to understand it."

My dad threw me straight out of his sight.

Tsk, I'll give you a chance to build your prestige in your son's heart, so you should be perfunctory.

Brother Ji: "Everyone expressed their surprise, so we organized a group to ask Elder Tian, ​​because he happened to pass by during everyone's discussion. Is the second son going to listen to the scene? Let me show you the scene first." The screen of the monitor turned to me, and I saw a bunch of human heads and the elders surrounded by them.

The senior who was in charge of the broadcast didn't occupy a good position, they were all pushed to the back row, but it didn't affect the clarity - this was due to the high quality of the communicator.

The senior sister in charge of the broadcast introduced the previous situation: "We have already told Elder Tian about the process of the second young master's discovery of the sword intent, and now we are waiting for Elder Tian's reply. Maybe we have talked too messily, and Elder Tian needs some time to sort it out. "

Elder Tian looked indifferent, and after a while, he said, "This is the case."

"And then?" a disciple asked.

Elder Tian: "Then...that's what happened."

There are too many people around Elder Tian, ​​so I decided not to join in the fun at the Discipline Peak, and asked the broadcaster sister to ask a question on my behalf: "Why can Sword Intent exist independently?"

Elder Tian: "It is possible for sword intent to exist independently."

...so why?I stubbornly asked the broadcaster sister to ask again: "It is obvious that there is a sword intent, but it may not be brought when using the sword. How to solve this kind of mistake?"

Elder Tian: "It's not a mistake."

If it's not a mistake, then of course it can't be solved... Forget it, I really don't want to ask.
