Xiu Erdai's daily essays

2528_Attention is diverted

Dad: "Do you think Jiang Lin can stop me? Do you think Jiang Lin...can spoil children?"

A hard stop will definitely not be able to stop you, the whole Hehuan Sect combined is not enough for Elder Pei Ji to fight with one hand.But... "Judging from Mother's essays, she has a childlike innocence."

Dad: "What does that have to do with spoiling children? Your brother and sister are still childlike. When I punished one of them, did the other help share it?"

Not getting into trouble means another day...probably confused.

No, "Won't helping to share the burden cause you to be punished?"

The Disciplinary Department of Yunxiazong said: The punishment must be completed by the punished person himself, and anyone who helps is considered cheating.Cheating is also a violation and needs to be punished.

Dad: "Do you think I can't punish Jiang Lin?"

Me: "It's a small mistake, Yunxiazong can't punish Hehuanzong." Just like Hehuanzong can't punish me.Even if they become Taoist couples, Elder Pei Ji is still Elder Pei of Yunxia Sect, and Elder Jiang Lin is still Elder Jiang of Hehuan Sect.

Dad: "Who told you that the punishment must be issued by the Disciplinary Department? Do I have to go through the Disciplinary Department's process when I punish you?"

You are my father and my master, of course you want to punish me just casually, but my mother... oh, the love of a Taoist couple...

Just because the father is the Taoist partner of the elder of the Hehuan Sect, many people feel that under the serious appearance of the elder Pei Ji, there is a sullen and unrestrained heart hidden.In fact... maybe there is some truth to the public's brain supplement?

Dad: "Delicious food and wonderful double cultivation can make people happy physically and mentally."

Me: "...huh?" Is this an exchange between father and son about his son's puberty?But my puberty may be very long, and my physical development is stuck in the period of time, but it is not embarrassing, because I seem to have been provided by my own appearance and the open information of the Acacia sect to see sex cold...

Dad: "But you probably don't need these diversionary methods. You seem to be able to look at things that you don't like until the emotions fade away."

Me: "Maybe it's just because it's easy to distract me, without specific conditions like food and sex?"

Dad: "So, is your attention diverted now?"

Me: "As for Elder Hu's choice, I still feel a little choked up in my heart, but it's not too sad or depressed, it's just melancholy. After all, I am a person with some friendship, but after all, I don't have a deep friendship. So I I can still be here, and talk to you off topic."

2529_ Responsibilities of Elders

Me: "If it's someone I value, I might rush back to Jingjin Peak to help... no, I can't help, even though I have many high-end artifacts, but I only have a superficial understanding of Jingjin Peak's spiritual veins , I can't help in creating Jingjinfeng's new spiritual veins, and I can't stop Elder Hu Fan from making sacrifices for his sect."

Me: "Perhaps in Elder Hu's mind, that's not called sacrifice, it's just what he should do. Just like, if Yunxiazong is in danger and I can protect it, I will gladly give everything I can."

Dad: "We'll talk about saving Yunxiazong from overthrow after you reach the stage of transformation."

Tsk, my cultivation is not enough, and I won't even let him express my loyalty verbally.

Me: "I'll go back to Jingjin Peak to see...their preparations are over. Now go back there, Elder Hu Fan should still be alive?"

The old man nodded and asked: "Do you know why the elders of all sects, regardless of their level of cultivation, when outsiders call them, the suffix is ​​usually 'elder' instead of fellow daoists or seniors? The foundation-building elders of the incoming sect, at least face to face, will call the latter an 'elder' equally, the same 'elder' as yourself?"

Me: "... just like the heads of various sects, their identities affect their actions and positions more than their cultivation?"

Dad: "This is one of the reasons, but there is still a difference between an elder and a head. The head is the manager of the sect, and the elder is the guardian of the sect. Daily maintenance and smooth development are the job of the head, and everything that involves Great changes are the responsibility of the elders. Fighting for protection at a critical moment, striving for great opportunities when they arise, and planning for the future of the sect thousands of years later... As the highest cultivators of the sect, the elders have the responsibility to The sect is firmly supported, and it is getting higher and higher."

Dad: "Hu Fan said that Jing Jinfeng was broken in his hands. He felt very guilty. This is not a joke. He is really guilty, and he should be. It is true that he cannot stop it, but because the departure of the spirit vein is a certainty, something Jing Jinfeng already knew would happen, Hu Fan and his Jing Jinfeng seniors did not find out the backup after the certainty happened. plan, they failed to protect Jing Jinfeng well. As elders, they are dereliction of duty."

Dad: "In terms of responsibilities, the elders of all sects are the same. As long as an elder has done what he is supposed to do for his sect, no matter how large the sect is, this elder is worthy of respect from outsiders. On the contrary, Even if he is excellent as a monk, if he is not qualified as an elder, he will not be able to hold his head up. If the sect loses, but the elder of the sect is strong, it is almost equivalent to betraying the sect."

2530_qualified

Dad: "When a monk becomes an elder of a sect, the monk's way is connected with the sect, and the rise and fall are shared. It can also be said that a monk of a sect, if his way is not connected with the development of the sect, At the same time, this cultivator has no chance to cultivate to the level of an elder with this martial art."

Me: "Eldest brother..."

Dad: "That's right. The Tao of the elders is connected with the sect. This is not a secret among the elders. Every monk of the sect will be aware of this when he becomes an elder. However, even if we elders tell this secret, it is very It’s also hard for the elders to understand what that means.”

Dad: "'Elders share the rise and fall of the sect' at most can only be understood as that the elders will do their best to protect their sect; 'the way of the elders is connected with the sect' can generally be understood as at most that the elders have been practicing with the sect's exercises When you grow up to the elder level, the Tao will naturally blend with the sect you belong to. It seems to be a matter of course, but many things that are taken for granted will change qualitatively once they are implemented to the end."

Dad: "After the head of the sect has abdicated, even if their cultivation level is temporarily below the elder level, they will be respected as elders immediately. This is partly to thank them for their long-term contributions to the sect. Not enough, but their state of mind has reached the level of elders of their sect, and they are already qualified to be called elders. Giving them the position of elders is not false praise, but they are well-deserved."

Dad: "Although Jiang Weixiao's starting point is not to become an elder or cultivate to the stage of becoming a god, the reason is not important. Tao. He walks very clearly and firmly, and his goal has never wavered. This is a positive side, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. The negative effect of his high determination is that he is too focused, so sometimes there will be some troubles.”

Me: "Because concentration is a good thing, but too much concentration may cause him to ignore some things around him, which are actually related to the things he pays attention to, but the correlation is not so obvious, but very important things? Everything is connected, moderately Scattered attention, but may inadvertently obtain key information?"

Dad: "Yes, in moderation."

Me: "...Maybe it will be perfect if I neutralize with the big brother."

Dad: "No, his concentration can't neutralize your sloppyness."

Does that mean I'm hopeless?

Me: "I have really returned to Jingjin Peak... Well, before I return, let me ask one more question, does the guest elder have any responsibilities?"

Dad: "It depends on the extent of the transaction between the guest elder and that sect. Generally speaking, as long as the gain is equal to what you pay. Usually it has nothing to do with the Tao, it is a relatively simple matter of interest."

2531_ Can you toss around more recklessly?

Dad: "However, if you gain insight that is beneficial to your Dao in the sect where you are a guest elder, you should give them back and help them with their Dao."

Me: "How do I know what's helpful for someone else's way?"

Dad: "You can't fully agree with other people's way, but you can try to understand. To understand why they choose that way, why that way is not suitable for you, when you understand their way, and this When understanding does not make you feel confused about your own way, let alone deviate from your own way, you will be more firm in your own way."

Me: "What if I am influenced by other people's ways and go astray from my own way?"

Dad: "Then come back. Correcting mistakes is also an important way to learn."

Does dad mean that I have become firm in my own Tao to a certain extent, so I don't have to take care of it carefully, but can start... to toss it more recklessly?

When I hid my figure and returned to the vicinity of Jingjin Peak, I saw Jingjinfeng's disciples busily demolishing houses from a distance.Elder Hu Fan is still alive. He is sitting in the courtyard of his original residence that has been demolished, holding the Lingmai Fireball Lotus, as if he is looking at the Lingmai Fireball Lotus, and seems to be in a daze.

I didn't land in Jingjinfeng's territory, so I kept a long distance so that I could see Elder Hu, but everyone in Jingjinfeng couldn't perceive me—since Elder Hu didn't want me to see his death with my own eyes, then, Even if I go against his wishes, at least I can prevent him from seeing me go against them.

Actually, I don't know why I have to watch it.I don't take the death of complete strangers very seriously, but the death of someone I'm close to and whom I don't dislike does make me uncomfortable... maybe because it's uncomfortable.

If I don’t see it with my own eyes, I will feel uncomfortable just by imagining it, so even if I don’t watch it, I will always feel uncomfortable in my brain, so it’s better to come and see, look at the facts, and the facts will always end, so at least It feels like an end point is set for 'uncomfortable'.

While waiting for Elder Hu and Jing Jinfeng to change, I looked at Xiao Sui, who was still lying on the bed.I can already perceive that Xiao Sui is a masculine artifact spirit, which is normal, because I have always said that Xiao Sui is my male god, so the spiritual treasure artifact spirit that has no gender itself will obey its master. desire to choose a masculine appearance when the spirit forms.Xiao Sui, Pei Bing, and Xiao Jian in the future will all choose their gender in this way.
