Chapter 423: The Problem of the Sect
Listening to the mantra's slow narration, Xiao Qingfeng's brows furrowed more and more, and finally wrinkled tightly together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, the problem that the sect shows now is not big, as long as they Jindan monks are not chaotic, then the sect will not be chaotic. But the problem is that their Jindan monks also grew up from Qi refining and foundation building monks.
Their generation can guarantee the nature of the sect, but what about the next generation?
Now that there are more disciples in the sect, people's hearts are a little scattered. In particular, many outer disciples want to become true disciples. Some of them rely on hard work, while others rely on crooked paths.
Although those who follow crooked paths have been dealt with by the sect, this also shows a problem. There is a good saying, it is not the old man who has become bad, but the bad man who has become old.
When those who rely on crooked ways to grow up by luck, they will definitely become a cancer of the sect in the future. In terms of the quality of the disciples of the sect, the sect cannot lower its requirements, even if it accepts fewer disciples for this purpose.
Yuanyang Sect has always followed the elite route, even now. It's just that the current elite is not as elite as the previous one, but it is more elite.
"What does Senior Brother mean?" Listening to the narration of the truth, Xiao Qingfeng asked.
Zhen Yan is now the nominal young sect master, and he has begun to contact the things of the sect, and what he is doing now is actually the same thing that the people of the Mind Liberation Dao did back then. If he can do something that affects the sect now, then it will be much cheaper to take over the position of sect master in the future.
The truth is right: "There are two main problems in the sect now. The first is that there are too many outer disciples, and they have different personalities. The second is that the sect has turned into four peaks, creating the illusion of a sect divided into four parts. β
"Then what do you think Senior Brother should do?" Xiao Qingfeng asked with a slight flick of his fingers.
Zhenyan had already considered it, and when he saw Xiao Qingfeng asking, he replied: "The first point is easy to do, as long as the sect accepts outer disciples in the future, it is more strict." Then set some rules for people who are already outer disciples, and they will not be able to turn the waves. β
"What about the second point?" Xiao Qingfeng continued to ask.
In fact, the first point is very simple, the reason why so many outer disciples were recruited in the first place was because of the invasion of Buddhism. Although the cultivation of outer disciples is not very good, they can unite and even guard everywhere.
And now that Buddhism has been suppressed, and it can't make too many waves in the three regions of the East, then the role of these outer disciples is actually not much. Recruiting in such a large number will make the sect bloated.
The elders of the sect will not fail to see this. Xiao Qingfeng estimated that perhaps the sect master had already wanted to do this, but it was only because of the need to give the truth that he had delayed until now.
Compared to the first point, the second point is more troublesome. At the beginning, it was the Venerable One's intention to divide the four peaks, and if you want to change, you still have to work from the Venerable One's side.
However, who in the sect has the ability to influence His Holiness's decision? There may be a few, but those few people definitely have no truth.
The mantra is clear about his position. Don't look at him as a young sect master now, but compared to Xiao Qingfeng, he is still far behind. So he said to Xiao Qingfeng: "The second point is that I want to ask my junior brother for help." β
"How can I help?" Xiao Qingfeng vaguely understood in his heart, but he still asked in his mouth.
The mantra said frankly: "I would like to ask my junior brother to mention it in front of His Holiness, I know that it should not be difficult for my junior brother to meet His Holiness, so I want to ask my junior brother to help me with this." β
Thinking slightly, Xiao Qing said: "It's a bit of a surprise to say that help, if I am lucky enough to meet the Venerable, I will definitely mention it." However, at the beginning, the sect divided the four peaks in order to make use of the four small peaks of Yuanyang. If it is not divided into four peaks, then how to deal with the four small peaks of Yuanyang?"
The mantra had already been prepared, and said, "I want to use the four peaks to reward the disciples who have contributed to the sect. There will be a lot of miscellaneous matters in the operation of a sect, and these miscellaneous matters will be handled by the disciples. After dealing with it, you will naturally need some rewards. β
"Hehe!" chuckled, Xiao Qingfeng said, "Although Senior Brother's idea is good, have you thought about a question?" Now the disciples basically live in the four peaks. If you let them all move out, how are you going to give them an account?"
Zhen Yan smiled confidently: "This matter is simple, I want to ask the sect to pass down some basic magic spells." But if you want these magical powers, you need to leave the four peaks, and from then on, the four peaks will be used as a forbidden place for the sect. β
Xiao Qingfeng opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak. Although the idea of mantra is good, the method is somewhat simple and crude. If things were really that simple, there would be no need to wait for him to do it.
Of course, this is not necessarily how complicated it is.
After all, it is only more than 100 years to change the rules, and more than 100 years have not formed a strong habit at all. As long as His Holiness relented, even if he pushed it forcibly, it would be fine.
Seeing that Xiao Qingfeng was a little deadlocked, Zhenfan said: "Oh, okay, okay! Our senior brothers haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years, so it's not interesting to talk about this." The little brother came prepared today, let's not get drunk and go home. β
As he spoke, as soon as Zhenfan stretched out his hand, a wine jug appeared in his hand.
"Magic weapon?" Looking at Zhen Fan's hand, Zhen Fei was a little surprised and said, "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to have a magic weapon wine jug, this day is a bit chic!"
In the cultivation world, only the Yuanshen monks can practice the Sumeru supernatural powers, and the Jindan monks do not have the Sumeru technique. Many times those cultivators turn their hands and take out things, but they are not actually Sumeru, but they are taken out in their pockets.
However, this time Zhenfan was not taken out of his pocket, but directly taken out. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, this wine pot is a magic weapon, which is refined and preserved in the dantian by Zhenfan.
If it was an ordinary magic weapon, Zhen Fei would not be so surprised, but this wine jug is obviously a magic weapon of the space class. The magic weapon of space contains the law of space, and even the real person of the Yuan Shen may not be able to touch the skin.
"Hehe!" smirked, Zhenfan explained, "This magic weapon was obtained by chance by my junior brother, how about it, yes? I can tell you, this magic weapon has no attack power, and no defense power, but it has a function, that is, it automatically brews spirit wine." β
Zhenwen was a little skeptical: "Automatic brewing spirit wine?
The world has a lot of misconceptions about the spiritual world, just like spiritual wine. Many mortals think that the wine that cultivators drink is spiritual wine. Actually, although the wine that cultivators drink is much better than that of ordinary people, it cannot be called spiritual wine.
True spiritual wine is a treasure that speeds up cultivation, and it is a treasure that has no consequences. Of course, because there is no aftermath, his auxiliary role is not very obvious, and it takes years of perseverance to see the effect.
Of course, if it is a mortal and spirit wine, the effect will indeed be significant.
"No?" Zhenfan raised an eyebrow.
Zhenwen explained: "It's not that I don't believe it, but I think it's a little incredible." Like our Jindan monks, it is more troublesome to find spiritual wine, and the senior brother actually has this kind of automatic wine-making treasure, which really makes me feel a little dreamy. β
Rolling his eyes, Zhenfan couldn't help but say, "You just can't see other people's chances." Senior brother, senior brother has to talk about you, this is not good. We are brothers, how can you be jealous of me?"
"I'm jealous of my brother?"
was stunned, Zhenwen couldn't cry or laugh. He admits that the magic flask is a good thing, but to say that jealousy is too serious. Just wanted to refute, but suddenly saw Zhenfan's expression, and after a pause, Zhenwen also reacted, and said along the way: "Senior brother has a baby, don't I have a baby?"
Zhenfan then asked, "What treasures does the junior brother have?"
With a palm in his hand, a folding fan appeared in Zhenwen's hand, and he said, "Senior brothers, guess the effect of my magic weapon?"
"Folding fan?" Zhen Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Since it is a fan, then the biggest effect of your folding fan should be the wind, can it be that a hurricane can occur with a fan?"
"No! no!" Mabun smiled and shook his head.
At this time, Zhenting suddenly said: "It's not a hurricane, could it be that Senior Brother's magic weapon is an attack weapon, which can emit a golden light, and then the opponent will die?"
βγ»γ»γ»β
"Hahaha!"
Zhenwen was speechless for a while, and Xiao Qingfeng and they all laughed.
Zhenyan smiled and said: "I didn't expect my junior sister to have this kind of childlike fun? β
Zhenting looked at Zhenyan and said, "Then Senior Brother may be able to guess?"
"Hmm-" After a deep sigh, the mantra said slowly: "This kind of thing is common in the world, but it is relatively rare in cultivation. Because it is rare, the effect should be relatively peculiar. I guess this folding fan should be an auxiliary magic weapon, and the specific effect should be biased towards the divine soul or something. β
"Divine Soul?" Listening to the words of the mantra, Zhenfan was inexplicable for a while, "Senior brother, what does this folding fan have to do with the divine soul?" Senior brother, I have lived for more than two hundred years, and this is the first time I have heard that refraction is related to the divine soul. β
Zhenyan didn't answer, but said to Zhenwen: "Senior brother, say it yourself." β
Zhenwen didn't answer immediately, but asked Xiao Qingfeng again: "Senior brother, what effect does my magic weapon have?"
The corners of Xiao Qingfeng's mouth curved: "My guess is the same as that of Senior Brother." β
Zhenfei also thought differently, and asked Xiao Qingfeng, "Why?"
"Senior brother, let's talk about it. Xiao Qingfeng didn't answer, and said to the truth.
"Let's talk about it. The mantra pushes the question back to the truth.
Seeing that the problem finally came to him, Zhenwen smiled bitterly and explained: "Actually, this is nothing special, the material of this folding fan is a kind of divine soul wood that can enhance the power of the divine soul. Wearing this magic weapon all year round can nourish the soul and show the three souls faster. Therefore, although this magic weapon is peculiar, it can only be used in the Jindan period. β
Regarding Zhenwen's explanation, Zhenfan was noncommittal, and said to Zhenfei: "Senior Brother Zhenwen and I have magic weapons to take out, Senior Brother, you won't have it, right?"
"How could I not. Of course, Zhen Fei was not convinced, and a small sword appeared in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then directly introduced: "This sword of mine is refined with the qi of the rising sun, and the speed is extremely fast. If he flies, he will be at least twice as fast as he normally flies. β
Looking at the small sword in Zhen Fei's hand, Zhen Fan complained: "Senior brother's natal magic weapon is called Chaoyang Divine Sword, which is also born out of the Chaoyang Divine Light, and your magic weapon is refined from the Qi of the Rising Sun." It seems that the senior brother has been entangled with the word Chaoyang in this life!"
Zhenfei said angrily: "So much nonsense!"
The three of them all took out magic weapons, and Zhenwen said to Xiao Qingfeng: "Senior brother, what about you?"
Xiao Qingfeng spread his hands: "I have been practicing in retreat for more than 100 years, where is there any magic weapon." Without further ado, let's have a drink. By the way, junior brother, you don't just have good wine and no wine glass, right?"
Zhenfan was a little dumbfounded: "Senior brother, you won't even have a wine glass here, right?" or we just drink it, anyway, I won't dislike you." β
Before Xiao Qingfeng could speak, Zhenfei interjected: "If Senior Sister Zhenting doesn't mind, I have nothing to say." I just don't know if Senior Brother Zhenfeng dares to do it?"
Xiao Qingfeng didn't answer, and said directly: "Xiao Song, send a few cups." β
"Yes, my lord!" said Mu Song's voice in the air.
It didn't take long for Mu Song to fetch a few jade cups. Speaking of which, these jade cups were really not prepared by Xiao Qingfeng, but by Nan Shuiling. Of course, Nan Shuiling is not used to drink, but to think it looks good.
Zhenfan poured a glass of wine for each of them, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else today, just talk about Fengyue, well, if that senior brother has an affair or something, you can also say it and be happy." β
Zhenting said with a smile: "Senior brother, are you sure you want to talk about romance here?"
"Thisβ"
Zhenfan's face stiffened, and at this time he remembered that Xiao Qingfeng was a Taoist couple, if he let the terrifying sister-in-law know that he was here to talk about romance, the result would be unimaginable.
Speaking of which, Zhenfan, even the truth, were a little afraid of Ao Bingling. That's right, it's fear. In their hearts, Ao Bingling was unfathomable, and the pressure on them was greater than that of some Yuanshen real people.
Xiao Qingfeng was helpless, so he could only speak: "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't drunk for a long time, this time I just taste the wine." Say okay in advance, none of us use mana to relieve hangover, so let's have a good day without getting drunk. β
Zhenfei said heartily: "Senior brother is so refreshing, then senior brother, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!"
Zhenfei has a tendency to develop towards the sword immortal, and he is very fond of wine. In terms of the amount of alcohol alone, he is estimated to be the best among them, and he has almost reached the point of no drinking.
Zhenwen also said: "Since the two senior brothers are so interested, then I won't back down." β
At the end, the mantra also said, "Then come!
Xiao Qingfeng hesitated a little: "We have no problem, but what about the junior sister?"
Zhenting said with a smile: "Senior brother, even if you drink, junior sister, I can drink tea, and I have to trouble senior brother to prepare tea for me." β
