Chapter 85: Strong and Weak Righteousness Eliminates Heartbreaks
Gui Wujiu's time to go to Chenyang Sword Mountain was postponed for several days.
In the past few days, Gui Wujiu paid a visit to Lan Yu as expected. Lan Yu's actions were indeed very fast. From the beginning of his generation, for more than two hundred years, he had considerable qualifications and great potential, but he was only five years old.
The young talents who have met for a century but have some differences are all on the roster.
Among his peers, there is only one person. That is Ning Suchen's younger brother Ning Puchen. When Gui Wujiu was in Chongxiao Pavilion, this person was still a bit immature in his age and behavior. But after all, he had extraordinary background, considerable talent, and achieved true success.
After being a disciple, Tao Xing's progress was considered fast, and now he is one of the few Nascent Soul cultivators among people of similar seniority.
Seriously speaking, except for Mu Minli, Ning Suchen and a few other extraordinary figures, there are only three people from the rest of the generation who have advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
One of them is Lan Yu; the second is Ning Puchen; and the other is Cheng Buming.
It's a pity that Cheng Buming was too persistent and diligent. He seemed to have had some accidents when he broke into the Yuanying realm thirty years ago, and his vitality was eventually damaged. Even if he found a panacea to cure the disease, he would have to spend at least five hundred years in the second and third levels of the Yuanying realm.
If you are over 20 years old, your potential for advancement will also be greatly affected.
Apart from that, they are all "juniors".
From what Du Niansha said, Xia Yongnian, who was listed in Gui Wu Guo, is now a second-level Jindan practitioner. Among the talents who have not joined the Five Hundred Years Association, his qualifications are actually the highest.
But when it comes to his will, character, and Taoist heart, Lan Yu has some criticisms of him.
Lan Yu even said that if Cheng Buming had Xia Yongnian's talent, or if Xia Yongnian had Cheng Buming's determination, he might not be able to overcome obstacles and find a way out.
After Xia Yongnian, there were two more people, one male and one female, belonging to the same class. They were born forty-five years later in Xia Yongnian. In that year, the Yin and Yang fish tests were both 16 stars.
Among the two, the man's name is Yue Xing and the woman's name is Zeng Dan. They are both at the fourth level of the Golden elixir realm. In terms of progress in cultivation, they are a step ahead of Xia Yongnian.
Yue Xing and Zeng Dan were a little baffled by Lan Yu's invitation. They had never had any friendship with this rising star of the Lan family.
The two of them knew that the next 500-year meeting was definitely impossible; even if they set their sights on the next one, the possibility of breaking through was still extremely small. With the actual performance of 16 stars, they would be able to take advantage of the situation after they grow up.
It seems that only Senior Brother Wen Jinyuan has been able to cultivate a Taoist foundation that is no less than 18-star qualifications since ancient times.
However, the two of them practiced diligently and did not slack off at all.
Considering that the Lan family also had considerable influence in the sect, Yue Xing and Zeng Dan came to attend the meeting because they did not want to offend others for nothing.
Unexpectedly, they saw a legendary figure in their sect, making the two of them seem to have fallen into a dream...
The banquet is over.
Gui Wujiu took up the flying light and fled towards a small peak under Xuanchi Pavilion.
The guests and hosts were having a great time, but apart from the family members, there were also people who couldn't let go and wanted to see them.
On top of the small peak, a forbidden formation with four wings and eight directions was laid out. However, for Gui Wujiu, this forbidden formation was only in name only.
The three-story attic has wooden windows ajar and half-open doors.
Take no blame and open the door.
Inside the portal, on both sides of the wall, there are more than ten silk threads hanging, divided into three layers. In each silk thread, there are jade slips of different shapes hanging. At first glance, it looks like a place where secrets are collected.
.
There are twenty or thirty jade slips scattered around each table in the middle.
There was a man with his head in a fairy bun, holding a pen in his hand, looking at a long scroll two feet wide, and he was in a daze.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door opening that she suddenly came back to her senses.
But when he raised his head and looked up, the ink pen in his hand fell onto the case with a thud.
Gui Wujiu smiled and said, "I have already heard about your generous move. You did a good job. To be honest, I didn't expect it."
Ning Zhenjun met him by chance and thought that Dugu Xinling had a decisive mind and was the best.
So it was reused.
Unexpectedly, she really made a big move.
In the Yue Heng Sect, there have always been people with outstanding talents who specialize in cultivation and are too lazy to take care of the secular affairs of the sect; and all kinds of duties, except for the chief and deputy positions in the six halls and twenty-four pavilions, are related to high status.
Except for the lower level, all other duties are handled by those who have cut off their paths and are obsessed with fame and fortune.
Not only the Yue Heng Sect, but the other eight sects are also roughly similar. At first glance, it seems very reasonable.
But Dugu Xinling believes that even if there are many people with outstanding qualifications, only a few will have the opportunity once every five hundred years. The rest of the people, although they claim to be "wholeheartedly devoted to the Tao", are actually idle, useless and mean.
To put it bluntly, if you don’t do anything, it will be a waste of Taoist resources. Furthermore, even if you manage worldly affairs, it may not delay your own spiritual practice. As for those who have no intention of Taoism and manage the affairs of the sect, they will inevitably harm the public and enrich themselves, and the disadvantages can be imagined.
And know.
Dugu Xinling used two methods.
One of them is "integration of work and achievement".
The more practical the task is, the more it must be handed over to those who still have potential on the path and are far from being cut off. And whether they do well or not, and the number of rewards and punishments, is closely related to the amount of spiritual resources each receives. Even the task of managing the world will be
, and its Taoist practice are placed in an equally important position for evaluation.
In a nutshell, the more you want to practice, the more you have to do things.
The second one is "listening to satire and admonishment".
Those who are very senior but have lost their way and are obsessed with utilitarianism do not have to step aside. Dugu Xinling suggested that they should be given the responsibility of supervision and inspection. They should not be given actual power, but it would be more powerful than them.
Specially go to various ministries to look for faults. If you can recover losses and gain benefits for the sect, you can take a portion of the commission as a reward.
Ning Zhenjun heard about the great wonder and used his method.
Afterwards, reorganizing the positions had a great effect, and the atmosphere within the sect changed.
The total amount of various achievements and harvests has increased by more than 10%; while the number of jade, treasures and utensils spent every year has been reduced by more than 20%.
The difference between coming and going is close to 30%, which even a true king cannot easily ignore.
When Gui Wujia heard about this from Lan Yu, he had to admit that to be able to see the disadvantages of the division of labor that everyone is accustomed to and to adjust it skillfully, one must have a very profound understanding of the interests and harms of people's hearts.
Dugu Xinling finally came to his senses, stepped forward quickly, knelt down and said, "Greetings to the master."
Gui Wujiu helped her up.
Dugu Xinling senses the energy of blamelessness.
Logically speaking, the subtlety of Gui Wujiu's Qi mechanism is far inferior to that of Dugu Xinling, so it is not easy to feel it.
But Gui Wujiu's energy at this time was indeed powerful and unbridled, like a stormy sea.
Dugu Xinling understood in an instant——
The person in front of her has reached a subtle and unpredictable state, and is a hundred times stronger than her.
The two of them laughed in unison.
Putting no blame, just laughing out loud.
Dugu Xinling is an implicit smile.
The originally stagnant atmosphere suddenly became unusually relaxed and lively.
What happened back then, both of them are confident that they made the right choice.
As far as Dugu Xinling is concerned, although Gui Wujiu is only in the spiritual realm, and she is a real person in the third level of Nascent Soul who is famous in the wilderness. But she knows that Gui Wujiu's "weakness" is only temporary, so she surrenders early. Forming the most intimate relationship is the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.
In terms of clearing himself from the blame, Huanghai acts in a mysterious and unpredictable manner. With a real person at the third level of Nascent Soul sitting in charge, his error tolerance and confidence in his actions are greatly improved.
However, these are all decisions that are gradually deduced from "reason" and finally made. Although they are "not against the original intention", they still have traces of acquired taming of the mind. If the mind is free from suffocation and is accepted with joy, then of course it is. Unrealistic.
The fact is that at that time, a real person in the third level of Nascent Soul Realm regarded himself as a slave and committed himself to a low-level spiritual monk.
Gui Guo, in fact, he was very afraid of Dugu Xinling at first, fearing that he could not control it, so he could only resort to some kind of man-controlling secret weapon. This is not proof that he is too weak.
Later, Dugu Xinling's humble flattery and Gui Wu's fierce criticism may not be without the element of overcorrection in his adjustment of mind.
In a sense, this is also a knot in the mind.
Although it does not have any actual impact on the path of monasticism.
However, the suffocation in the heart is a knot in the heart; it may not necessarily be related to Taoism.
When we met today, the two of them were clearly strong and weak, and their superiority was clear. Supported by this fact, it became logical for them to respect each other and take the right position. The previous "heart knot" was gone.
Gui Wujiu casually sat down on the couch and gently pulled Dugu Xinling to sit on him.
As his meritorious deeds gradually increased, he became more and more clear about the status and role of Dugu Xinling in his journey to the wilderness, and his evaluation became higher.
During the period when my true cultivation level was only in the spiritual realm, growing to the level where I could absorb high-grade golden elixir with the help of Yuan Yu Jing Dendrobium was actually a very important stage. Naturally, if there was no Dugu Xinling, this stage would be blameless. You can get through it smoothly; but when facing a powerful enemy in the wilderness, you will definitely use all your ingenuity and be cautious every step; if you keep walking on the tightrope, you will inevitably be too nervous.
Being too tight-minded actually means that the further you deviate from the general trend, the greater the need for correction in the future.
Therefore, although what Dugu Xinling provides is only lenient and fault-tolerant, his help cannot be underestimated. He is also a very important person on his path and cannot be ignored.
Feeling Gui Wujiu's soothing caress, Dugu Xinling felt very comfortable.
In the past, similar experiences were just to entertain others; today, they are to entertain others and ourselves.
Gui Wujiu said with a smile: "One knot between you and me has been resolved, but there is still another knot."
Dugu Xinling, who was already feeling drunk, suddenly felt cold when he heard this, and said in surprise: "There is another knot in my heart? What is it?"
Gui Wujiu said: "Your age is more than three or four times older than mine. Isn't this a little petty thing?"
Dugu Xinling's face turned sulky and he gently pushed Gui Wujiu away.
Such an action had never happened before when the two of them got along.
Gui Wujiu laughed loudly and said: "There is no solution. That is time. Just imagine that in 20,000 years, I will have a life span of 20,000 years and you will have a life span of 21,000 years. Doesn't it look normal? A lot older, seems...about the same age?"
When Dugu Xinling heard this, his body trembled and he turned around suddenly.
Gui Wujiu's voice was loud and convincing: "In addition to being someone's slave and concubine, you will also be the great steward of a family's future power. As far as you, Dugu Xinling, are concerned. With this kind of talent and character, you will be able to make progress.
Opportunity."
A red light flashed on Dugu Xinling's face, he was lost in thought for a long time, and said sadly: "If this day really comes, one person will be considered enlightened, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven."
Gui Wujiu shook his head slowly and said: "It's not like chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Even if there is really God's will in the dark, you should have a way to make progress."
