Chapter 51: Practicing the Way of the Hundred Schools (Part 1)
Zuo Yushu sighed when he heard this:
"It's not a secret...... Qingxumen can only protect itself now, and it is too difficult to recruit disciples. ”
Zuo Yushu's strength cultivation has dropped to the Qi Building Realm, and there is almost no hope of returning to the Bifu, if he strengthens the Qingxu Sect, he will inevitably be squeezed out by other sects. If you don't have the ability, then you can only be beaten, and there is really no condition to recruit disciples.
Seeing Jiang Lai's thoughtful appearance, Zuo Yushu suddenly inserted a question:
"I don't know which one you're going to practice?"
Jiang Lai really didn't think about this problem.
In the scorching world, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and each school has its own advantages and shortcomings.
"It's not decided yet. ”
"You are so familiar with your predecessors, which shows that your identity and status are not simple, how can you join a small sect like Qingxu and be willing to be a junior disciple...... Besides, my cultivation is limited. Zuo Yushu sighed.
This is also true.
Jiang said, "Having said that, your experience in this life is not comparable to that of us young boys. ”
This made Zuo Yushu feel happy.
"Your vitality fluctuations are very balanced and long, and you should have learned the Taoist method of mind. It's better to choose a Taoist ......," Zuo Yushu suggested.
This old fellow's eyes are very vicious.
If it's just for the sake of cultivating the mind, you don't have to. With Jiang Lai's ability to simulate in various forms, it is not difficult to borrow some books, it is only a matter of time. Jiang Lai thought of the Duanlin School a hundred miles away, they belonged to the Confucian school, and there should be a lot of books, even if it was far away, it would not be too late to get a mount like a griffin one day.
Zuo Yushu continued: "You are the same age as Tsing Yi, I feel pity, don't waste such a good talent." ”
As he spoke, he coughed violently a few times, and his hair fell on his temples, looking a little lonely.
"Hmm. "Jiang Lai just nodded symbolically, human beings have the trouble of birth, old age, sickness and death, is there any land?
Zuo Yushu asked: "You really haven't thought about which one to choose?"
"Ever thought about it...... It's just that I don't know much about Baijia, so I don't know where to start. Jiang said.
Zuo Yushu was a little strange.
There is no reason why the cultivation of the predecessors is so profound that he should not tell Jiang Lai about these things, and Jiang Lai is a talent, like the son of a big family, even if he is not in a hurry, the elders in the family have no reason not to say it.
However, this involves personal matters, and Zuo Yushu doesn't want to ask more.
"If you want to choose, you can choose one of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Confucianism takes 'benevolence' as the core, and the practice concepts of moderation, harmony, and inclusiveness, and draws on the strengths of others, and is the first school in the world; Daomen, with the practice concept of 'Taoism and nature' and 'Dao Wuwei', has far-reaching influence, and is the second school of Great Yan; Buddhism is the migration school, with the practice concepts of 'equality of all beings' and 'reincarnation of cause and effect', and is the third school in the world. Zuo Yushu said slowly.
Jiang Lai heard this and nodded slightly.
This has some similarities with the hundreds of schools on the earth.
"What about the other families?" Jiang Lai was very curious.
"Although other schools of thought exist, it is difficult to compete with these three schools. It's just indispensable. For example, in addition to cultivation, the Legalist school will assist the Great Yan Dynasty in governing the country and leveling the world. Many schools of thought are also applicable to the governance of dynasties, and the schools of peasant and famous scholars often do not have the ability to cultivate, and delve into the universal ways of survival, such as farming, breeding, writing books, and writing history...... That is, what we call ordinary people. Zuo Yushu said.
"How can ordinary people survive if they don't have the ability to cultivate?" Jiang Lai wondered.
Zuo Yushu said with a smile: "It is precisely because he is an ordinary person that he will not fall into the strife of cultivators. On the contrary, the practitioner also protects them. If everyone doesn't farm, everyone cooks, what do they eat? If you talk about the number of people alone, the number one faction in the world is none other than the peasant family. ”
Jiang Lai nodded slightly.
There is some truth in this, the world is so big, everyone has their own suitable position.
"As for the Yin and Yang family, they learned the method of the five elements of Yin and Yang, and the others are not very clear, and the Mo family is the best ...... in the world."
Speaking of which, Zuo Yushu felt like an old gentleman teaching.
Quite puzzled, he paused, and sighed:
"Actually, outside of the three families, there is no need to contact too early...... Because most people have limited energy in their lives, and what they can learn is also limited. Especially at the beginning of the practice, the more focused you are, the better. Zuo Yushu said.
"That's true. ”
At this point, there was a silence.
The room was quiet.
Seeing Zuo Yushu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Jiang Lai smiled and said, "If Zuo Yushu has something to say, just say it." ”
Zuo Yushu first sighed, and then said: "I know, it is difficult for some strong people to let you join the Qingxu Sect. With your talent, you can enter a better sect, or even a sect in the true sect genealogy. You are a friend of your predecessors, and you have entered Qingxu as the youngest disciple, and you have really been wronged. So ......"
The tone paused again, "So, I would like to invite you to serve as the nominal elder of the Qingxu Sect and sit on an equal footing with the head of the sect." How about not being tied down in any way, not being placed under others?"
Elder?
Jiang Lai didn't expect Zuo Yushu to send out this invitation.
He knew that Zuo Yushu was the "senior" behind him.
If Qingxumen wants to grow, it must have some protection, and Zuo Yushu was originally a strong man in the palace, and it was more than enough to protect a small sect. Now that his cultivation has descended to the realm of Qi Building, he has to beware of the Jade Void Sect and other black hands everywhere.
The "seniors" are elusive, so letting Jiang Lai be the nominal elder is undoubtedly the best choice.
Jiang Lai wants to improve his cultivation, and it is a matter of time before he chooses one of the hundred schools to start. Joining Qingxumen, you can not only learn the method of Taoism, but also develop Jinting Mountain, killing two birds with one stone.
It's just that it was a bit unexpected to directly let him be a nominal elder.
"It's hard to resist the left master, if I want to keep refusing, then I really don't know what to do. Jiang Lai said lightly.
When Zuo Yushu heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "You agreed?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then it's decided. I will gather my disciples and announce this. Zuo Yushu said.
Jiang Lai nodded.
Zuo Yushu was just about to get up, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Elder Jiang, I don't know how long you plan to stay in Jinting Mountain?"
Brother of a big family, don't stay for a day or two and run away. So how can Qingxumen seek refuge?
"At least half a year...... Jiang said.
"Half a year?"
"How?"
"Nothing...... Since he is an elder of my Qingxu Gate, he can live as long as he wants. ”
Zuo Yushu turned around and went outside.
。
Zuo Yushu informed Kong Dai of this so that he could gather his disciples. As soon as Kong Dai heard that Jiang Lai wanted to be an elder instead of a junior disciple, he had some opinions on the spot and said, "Master, how long has he been here, and you let him hold such an important position...... He's so young and just getting started...... I can't say that!"
"You said, I didn't think about it as a teacher. Special treatment in special times...... What I fancy is not only his cultivation talent, but the senior behind him. ”
"Besides, this is a nominal elder, and it won't break the rules of the Dao Gate. ”
"Let's go inform Okura and Tsing Yi. ”
PS: This chapter has been written in three or four editions, the protagonist is a goblin boss, it's not appropriate to run over to be a little brother, and you can't step on the bottom of the Qingxu Gate to dominate, people are not fools, and it's even more impossible to kill and seize power, and it collapsed like that. Therefore, according to the original idea, continue to follow the route of a hundred schools, be unfettered, rely on the relationship of "seniors" to be a nominal elder, be justified, not weak, and have the right to speak to do all kinds of things......
