Xiu Erdai's daily essays

0672_worry

I was a little worried about the hostile relationship between disciples and elders in the sect, so I asked the elder brother about the situation.

"Elder Guanghe..." The elder brother thought for a while, "The popularity is not very good, but you should think so, even during the foundation building period, you can openly express your dissatisfaction with Elder Guanghe, which at least shows that Elder Guanghe is There is room for people. And the younger generation is willing to show their hatred, which also shows that this hatred... will not rot in unknown places."

Me: "I do know that Elder Guanghe is not very popular, but I don't understand why it is so serious. There are many people with weird tempers in the Yunxia Sect, and Elder Guanghe's emotional ups and downs are nothing." As for the third look, the painting style changes as soon as it is said, and no one says they hate her.

Big brother: "Maybe, it's mainly because of the face."

...Are you serious?

Eldest brother: "Look at who the little uncle catches and bites. Did the bitten ones hate it? The shy ones don't count."

A shy ball of wool.However, "Why does Elder Guanghe's appearance make people uncomfortable?"

Big Brother: "Isn't it ugly?"

If I take myself as the standard, there are too many ugly people in this world, so many that I have become accustomed to it, so I don't need to explain it.Me: "Ugly can also look comfortable. Although Elder Guanghe's face is indeed low compared to the average appearance of a monk, the key is the temperament he exudes..." I can't describe it well, anyway, "Let People are uncomfortable."

Eldest brother: "Well... Strictly speaking, you shouldn't know this, but it's okay to reveal it to you a little bit, anyway, it's not really a secret, even many people from other sects know about it. Elder Guanghe There was a problem with his cultivation. It happened many years ago. At that time, I hadn’t joined Yunxia Sect, so I only heard about it later. At that time, Elder Guanghe had a good chance to attack Mahayana, but something went wrong. The hard power didn't drop too much, but... after that, there appeared the uncomfortable temperament as you said."

Me: "Has there been no solution?"

Eldest brother: "Ms. Yunxia has been researching and has had limited communication with the three majors, but so far, the results are as you can see. But the problem is actually not very big, after all, Elder Guanghe did not experience a decline in self-control The current situation can be regarded as reaching an interpersonal balance.”

Me: "Balance?"

Big brother: "Hate and be hated, but don't delay doing things normally."

Me: "But what if this balance is the result of Elder Guanghe deliberately suppressing his violent emotional ups and downs? What if he suppresses it too hard..."

Eldest brother: "You worry too much. Just treat Elder Guanghe as an ordinary, annoying elder."

Well, it's really not my turn to worry about this in the foundation building period. It's more practical for me to worry about myself.

0673_Second generation repair

There are actually many second-generation cultivators in the entire cultivation world, but there are also many differences between the second-generation and second-generation cultivators.

For example, people like me who kiss my father to transform into a god and my mother to a nascent baby are very rare. I checked it out, and it’s hard to say how long it’s been. But anyway, among the living monks now, except me, there is no one who was born with parents of this level. character.

But if the standard is lowered a bit, one of the parents is a Nascent Soul or even a Jindan, which can be regarded as the second generation who can get very good resources.According to this standard, the number of the second generation of repairs is...not very many.In fact, there are still quite a few biological children of the Nascent Soul Golden Pill, but the proportion of them who can cultivate the truth is still not very high, and there are even fewer children with three spiritual roots or above.

——So my dad is simply a living miracle in this respect.How many great talents have expressed envy, jealousy and hatred to him.Zhang Li said that Elder Guanghe was also jealous of my father. Although there was her prejudice in her words, there was indeed some factual basis.

Therefore, the selection criteria for the second generation of Xiu were relaxed a bit. Among the elders of the blood lineage, there were Jindan Nascent Soul Transformation Gods or even Mahayana, no matter how many generations the elder lineage was a turning relative, as long as there was a genetic connection.In this way, the number of second-generation repairers will be relatively large.

Standards can be further relaxed.Because the master-student relationship in the cultivation world is similar to the relationship between parents and children, the descendants of a certain master's apprentice can also be counted as being covered by the master's umbrella.

For example, a Yuanying master took in an apprentice, and the apprentice passed away without being able to form an alchemy, but the child had a good spiritual root, then the Yuanying master might directly accept the child as his disciple.This child can also be regarded as the second generation of Xiu.

In the world of comprehension, there is a saying about the second generation of Xiu, but the third generation of Xiu is rarely mentioned, because the "second generation" has a lot of sloppy relations, and they even pull out the "third generation"...Of course you can also talk about it, but it doesn't make sense big.

Unless my brother and sister have a child and the child can cultivate, then this child can be counted as three generations.But this can only be considered as an example, and it doesn't mean to use a general term. It can be called the second generation directly. Anyway, "Second Generation Xiu" is mainly an outsider's envious name for its natural resources.

0674_Respective ways of living

If you want to ask which places have more second-generation repairs, it is obvious that they are martial arts.The larger the sect, the sect with the higher average cultivation level, and the sect with the larger number of people, the more second generations of cultivators.

The most, of course, is Kunlun.

There are so many second generations of Xiu in Kunlun that they can even form cliques.Some people are related to a certain elder, and some people are treated specially by another elder. If there is any conflict between the two elders, then the disciples of the two parties will start to hide from each other.

In fact, there are similar things in Yunxiazong. When the masters fight, the apprentices will follow suit. By the way, there are the sloppy type to please both sides, and there are also the fanning type to add fuel to both sides, and there are also the non-self type. lively.

When there are too many people, there will always be various appearances, and you can't control it by hard management. You can only draw the bottom line, and let others develop independently.

In contrast, it is easier for small sects to form a completely unified attitude.For example, the third-rate sect, there may be only a few dozens of people. If someone has a conflict with someone, they will often be persuaded by others quickly: We are all a family, everyone takes a step back, everyone is kind, don't make trouble up.

Then, no matter whether you are really angry or not, the two parties in the conflict can only obey the majority and stop fighting.

But the big sects generally can’t manage small conflicts. When small conflicts arise, the attitude of the higher-ups is often: make trouble, fight, as long as the tasks assigned to you are done well, as long as you don’t kill or maim, you can handle the rest yourself. , I don't have time to make sense of you moths who are like brushing your daily life.

To say which management method is better, this is not a good evaluation, it can only be said to be tailored to local conditions.Small sects have little ability to resist risks, and need to guard against small things. No matter how small things are, they should not be taken lightly; big sects have deep foundations, so they can let go of some detours and let the disciples figure it out on their own. A few people have losses, but in the long run it will make the whole sect smoother.The latter only focuses on the whole, while the former pays more attention to the details.

However, there are also small sects who are more self-indulgent, causing the entire sect to fluctuate violently. In the first hundred years, it seemed that they were on the verge of disbanding, and in the next century, they seemed to be able to head-to-head with the big sects.It was such a mess, but it survived.

Each has its own way of living, as long as it exists, there is always a rationale, and outsiders are always not easy to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks.

0675_busy

During the few days we stayed in Kunlun, I didn't know what other people were doing. I asked Kunlun for a map. The map showed all the places in Kunlun that I could wander around.

Brother Kunlun who gave me the map also asked, "Do you need a guide?"

Me: "Can you show me the Library Pavilion?"

Brother Kunlun: "Cangshu Pavilion is not open to the public, but some materials can be shown."

Me: "Which ones I can read, can you make a list for me? I mean, you don't need to type out an application report, you don't need to pay a fee, it's just the kind that you just flip through. How should I borrow it?"

Brother Kunlun: "There are quite a lot of materials that can be viewed at will without any restrictions. I remember that you are only planning to stay for a few days?" His eyes fell on the map he just gave me.

Me: "I read the materials very quickly, so I just flip through them." After memorizing, I can quickly fly around and memorize the outline. As for the use of memorizing it... What if it will be used someday? ?

After that, I spent a busy few days. Brother Kunlun generously gave me a magic weapon on the Kunlun intranet exclusively for guests. The information that can be found with this is Kunlun agrees to allow guests to browse at will , but Brother Kunlun reminded:

"All the information you read will be recorded."

Remember, anyway, I just turned over all the materials.However, "Can I only check it online? Is there a jade slip?"

Brother Kunlun: "Yes, but the information on the jade slip is incomplete."

Me: "Then can I also want jade slips and magical artifacts?"

Brother Kunlun: "Yes. Oh, the day after tomorrow, an elder will give a lecture. If you are interested, you can also attend."

Me: "Thanks, I'll be there."

Then my schedule is to visit Kunlun during the day, visit the floating island and the land below, and write down the information at night. Time will make up the contents of the jade slips that are involved but not comprehensive.Of course I also went to listen to Elder Kunlun’s lecture. It was a living person in the Mahayana period, and it was rare to see it. However, because the time for memorizing the materials was tight, and the materials on the Internet were really messy, I was still browsing the materials on the Internet while listening.It caused some fellow Kunlun Taoists to sneer at me.

Tsk, that elder spoke too profoundly, and I couldn't understand many of them.This is how I learn.The lecture elders have no objections, and those of you whose cultivation bases are not as good as mine hold back your opinions.

Also, don't peek at me blushing while complaining about me.
