Volume 14 Chapter 4 Governing the Family
Under the guidance of the guiding light, Wu Xie and the others walked through several formations and came to the sect of the Kantian Sect.
The sect of the Kantian Sect is very hermittent and high-minded, and there are no too high halls and buildings in the entire sect, most of which are stone houses with no more than two floors. These stone houses are built very plainly, and even have a simple feeling, which does not look like people living in immortals, but like ordinary mountain people.
But when Wu Xie and the others walked into the two-story small building arranged for Qingyang Temple, they found that this Guantianzong was indeed worthy of the Xuanmen faction, a small building that looked like only four rooms up and down, and could only accommodate twenty or thirty people at most, inside was actually a vast courtyard that stretched for at least several miles, although the houses were not gorgeous enough, they were very neat and refreshing, and they might not be solemn enough to receive guests, but at least they were definitely enough.
"Sure enough, it's a Xuanmen! I don't care about face at all. Yi Yi said with a smile, "When I didn't cultivate the Tao, I once heard that those high-ranking people who cultivated the Tao lived a very simple life, eating coarse tea and light rice, wearing kudzu cloth and linen clothes, and living in low bungalows...... At that time, I often thought, what is the point of cultivating immortals after such a bad life?"
"In fact, this is not the case, the people in the immortal sect have a unimaginable amount of power in the world, as long as they are willing, no matter how exquisite and gorgeous it is." After participating in the Three Teachings Exercise this time, Elder Xiao, who was in retreat again and impacted the Huandan realm, said with a smile. I have been to the White Emperor Pavilion back then, and their mountain gate is a royal palace flying in the sky, which is gorgeous beyond imagination. ”
"The disciple has also heard of it, and although the style of this sect is simple, it has absolutely nothing to do with simplicity and simplicity, so I have always felt that the world is really a little prejudiced against us immortal cultivators." Yi Yi replied with a smile, "But when I saw it today, I realized that the legend of the people of the world is not chasing after the wind and shadows, but it is really based on facts, but I speculated on others based on the situation of my own sect, and made the mistake of taking it for granted." ”
"The sages once said that while reading is important, traveling is even more important. A person who only reads in the study, and does not really go out to walk, go to see, do, do and then come back to think about it, will never be able to become a pillar of the country. Although I don't plan to become a pillar of the country, the truth makes sense. ”
"yes...... If I hadn't walked out of An's house, and I hadn't been in contact with so many people and so many things, I would probably still be a hairy boy who didn't grow up, and I would be angry all day long because of some things that were not worth mentioning......" An Ziqing nodded and said, "Cultivating immortals is also cultivating the mind, cultivating the mind can't just rely on oneself to think nonsense, you have to watch more, listen and do more, contact more things, and understand more things, so that your soul can grow." ”
"Well, I still feel that the most helpful thing for my cultivation was the years when I first became a dragon monarch in Kumho." Luo Yu also said,. At that time, Kumho County had just experienced a major disaster, and the people were in urgent need of help. Kumho Aquarium was almost completely damaged in the disaster...... I was in a hurry to do a lot of things, but I couldn't spare so many people and energy, and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep all night......"
"But it was during that time that I really grew up, understood what responsibility is, understood what an immortal cultivator should do, and understood the foundation of our righteous path in the mortal world......
"You're talking too high-end!" Tao Tu muttered, "I have also been the human patriarch for more than ten years, why don't you have so many feelings?"
"That's because you're never getting into it." Ouyang Yun said with a smile, "I once went to see the situation of your family, and it was obvious that there was you, an immortal cultivator, behind it, but they were mixed ...... Alas! I won't talk about it, in short, you're really not competent as the head of the family!"
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is enough for me to give them money and protect them as they grow up." Tao Tu smiled and disagreed, "What does it have to do with me if they are not doing well and causing their family to fall into the middle of the road?" Besides, I don't really care about them, it's just that they haven't fallen to the point where they need me to help. ”
"It's already about to break up, and it's not to the point where you need to rescue ......you."
Of course, in fact, as long as they give up the luxurious life they had before, they will still be well-off. There's nothing wrong with breaking up the gang, no matter how you say it, it's still the Tao family. "I can indeed provide them with a steady stream of wealth, so that they can live a life of spending and drinking, and eat up the income of ordinary poor people for a year." But what's the point? Originally, they were just orphans I picked up from the side of the road, and when they had money and prosperity, they forgot their roots...... Such children and grandchildren do not have to grind hard life, they will not practice the law. Ouyang Yun and An Ziqing both shook their heads, they didn't approve of the clay at all
But several senior brothers who were also from the lower class nodded their heads one after another, they also managed to take care of their respective families after they had achieved cultivation, and more than one of them was distressed by the situation that the descendants of the clan "became bad when they were rich". It's just that most of them chose to come forward to admonish, and they didn't sit back and watch the decline of the family like Clay, and use reality to teach their children and grandchildren a lesson that will never be forgotten.
Which one is better? It is not known for the time being. But if you think about it carefully, there is an idler behind the clay to escort the Tao family, no matter how much it declines, it will not really cut off the incense. Maybe the descendants of the Tao family will be able to know more about how to run the family, and the family can last longer......
The lifespan of an immortal cultivator is indeed very long compared to mortals. But compared to those big families in the world that have been inherited for hundreds of years or thousands of years, they are not long-lived. Among the disciples of Qingyangguan in the past dynasties, only about seventy percent of them can achieve refining Gang Flying Immortals, and the remaining thirty percent are difficult to live to be four hundred years old even if there is any elixir to prolong life.
Among these twenty-seven generations of disciples, several of them have always made slow progress, even if they are lucky enough to step into the realm of refining gang, it is estimated that it will not be possible to go further, then it will probably be less than five hundred years old.
It is not easy to create a famous family in the world in 500 years. What's more, they are still busy cultivating, and it is impossible for them to try to take care of and guide.
So after listening to the introduction of clay, many people showed a thoughtful look.
Wu Xie is no exception, before the three teachings of the law, he once returned to Zhaoyang County to take a look, and found that although the descendants of the Wu family are still diligent, there are fewer and fewer of them, and most of the descendants are greedy for pleasure.
For this situation, he frowned secretly, but there was nothing good to do for a while.
But after listening to the clay, he changed his mind again.
It is true that as long as the incense of the Wu family is endless, and the descendants do not do evil, even if the family is in the middle of the road and does not return to the glory of the past, what does it matter?
There are no undefeated flowers in the world, and there is no long-lasting family, as their ancestor Wu Xie only needs to help them keep the lifeblood of the family.
Leave the rest to themselves......
