"Master Wei Ming doesn't need to worry too much. This matter is relatively simple. The disciples of the newly merged Songshan Shaolin Sect can be divided into monk disciples and lay disciples. The monk disciples are mainly monks from the Shaolin Temple and still abide by the rules and precepts to practice The broad spiritual Dharma is the main one. The lay disciples do not need to abide by the rules and precepts. The current Songshan sect disciples are the main ones, and they mainly practice various advanced martial arts of the two sects. In this way, there will be no conflict. Moreover, the disciples of the two sects, monks and laymen, They can also communicate with each other in order to improve their cultivation together. Why not?" Mei Guanlie replied.
"Headmaster Mei also said that after the sect is merged, there will still be two sects, monks and laymen. So what's the difference from now without the sect being merged?" Master Wei Xing asked again.
"Master, what you said is wrong! When the two sects merge, the disciples of the two sects become one family, and the martial arts and Buddhism of the two sects are also one. Moreover, there is no Songshan sect or Shaolin sect in the world, but only the Songshan Shaolin sect. There are many such examples in the world. For example, the Qingcheng sect is divided into Taoist disciples and lay disciples. However, the Qingcheng sect has been established for hundreds of years, and who dares to say that the two disciples of the Qingcheng sect are not the same sect? "Mei Guanlie said it very clearly, and the examples were not very accurate, which made Wei Xingbu Shi unable to refute.
"However, the Qingcheng sect is different. When the Qingcheng sect was first established, the disciples were already divided into Taoism and secularism. Now the Songshan sect and the Shaolin sect are different. Both sects have been established for hundreds of years, and their respective sect rules and precepts , has already been formed. If you want to merge and discipline them again, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it easily." Master Weiming continued.
"Master's concerns are indeed reasonable. However, when a new sect is established, it is natural to establish a new sect. As for the merger of the two sects, such as the sect and the precepts, there are indeed conflicts. After the new leader is elected, This can also be modified. As long as the new Songshan Shaolin Sect establishes good rules and strictly restrains its disciples, I believe that with the cultivation of the disciples of the two sects, there will definitely be no big trouble." Mei Guanlie analyzed.
In fact, since the Shaolin sect's eminent monks have arrived, they already know that most of the sects are inseparable today. For the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple, joining the sect is no longer the main purpose of their trip. Saving talents is their first duty. Therefore, when the two masters Wei Ming and Wei Xing started arguing with Mei Guanlie, they did not intend to oppose the He Faction. After all, the other party still had hostages in their hands. Their real purpose is to gain more rights for the monks in the Shaolin Temple after the sect merges, so that after the sect merges, Mei Guanlie will be dominated by one person. If they lead them by the nose, they will be in big trouble. .
In fact, as Master Wei Nian said before, after joining the sect, as long as the Shaolin monks unite together and prevent Mei Guanlie's family from becoming dominant, they can actually restrain him when he wants to harm the martial arts world. This is another purpose of Master Wei Nian agreeing to join the sect.
The main purpose is to save people first, and also to monitor Mei Guanlie's actions after joining the faction. Once he wants to bring trouble to the martial arts world, Shaolin Temple will naturally be the first to know. Moreover, after the merger of the sect, if the disciples of the monks and laymen are still divided, then the merged sect will only exist in name only. Shaolin Temple is still Shaolin Temple, and Songshan Sect is still Songshan Sect.
Mei Guanlie naturally thought of this question. However, if he does not do this, he cannot form a formal alliance first. As long as they are formally united into one sect, there will be no reason for Shaolin Temple to ignore anything that happens to Songshan Sect in the future. Mei Guanlie's purpose is to first form a formal alliance, and then select a leader to give orders to everyone. In this case, everything that follows will be an internal problem within the sect, and those who are dissident can be isolated and dealt with slowly.
Obviously, Mei Guanlie is still a man who is good at maneuvering. He has already thought about the next step after taking the first step. However, the Shaolin monks have naturally thought about these problems, but they have no choice, because after all, they have hostages in their hands, and they have to submit.
"The merger of sects is a big deal. Now that we have merged, we should carefully consider the name of the merged sect. Earlier, Head Mei suggested that the merged sect be called Songshan Shaolin Sect, but Lao Na thought it was inappropriate." Master Wei Ming obviously said As he became more adept at words, he began to question Tao again.
"What's wrong? Master, let's hear it." Mei Guanlie didn't take it personally and asked seriously.
"The Shaolin School and the Songshan School have been established for hundreds of years, and their respective foundations are very solid. However, the prestige of the Shaolin School has always been higher than that of the Songshan School. The influence on the world is obviously far greater than that of the Shaolin School. Larger than the Songshan Sect. Therefore, in Lao Na’s opinion, after the merger, it is better to call the Shaolin Songshan Sect instead of the Songshan Shaolin Sect." Master Weiming replied.
"Master, it's wrong to say this! The Shaolin Sect has indeed become more famous than the Songshan Sect in the world over the years. However, both the Songshan Sect and the Shaolin Temple first existed based on Zhongyue Songshan. Therefore, the new sect is known as the Songshan Sect. There is nothing wrong with the beginning of the word. Therefore, Mei thinks that the Songshan Shaolin School is more appropriate and appropriate than the Shaolin Songshan School. At least whether to use the Songshan Shaolin School or the Shaolin Songshan School can be discussed after the merger. Old man, study it carefully." Obviously, Mei Guanlie made some concessions in order to unite the faction. He did not require that it must be named after the Songshan Shaolin School, but said that it could be discussed.
In fact, as long as they really join the sect, it doesn't matter what name they use. They are all the same sect anyway. The key is that after the merger, whoever is in charge and who has the final say will be the top master.
If, after the merger, the Shaolin Temple takes away the say in the new sect, then the Songshan Sect will obviously suffer a big loss. It's as if you have steeled yourself and allowed others to swallow you up.
Therefore, whatever name is used after the merger is actually empty. What is really useful and important is the fight for the position of leader.
Mei Guanlie was confident because he had a hostage in his hands, so as long as he didn't go too far, the Shaolin Temple would most likely give in. This was something Mei Guanlie had already understood.
Mei Guanlie understood this, so he didn't get too entangled in some superficial issues. Because joining the faction is the top priority for him right now.
"Since we want to unite the sect, we must choose a new leader. In my opinion, this new leader should be a virtuous person. My Shaolin sect, Abbot Master Wei Nian, is very popular in the world. The prestige is unparalleled among the Songshan Sect and Shaolin Temple. In my opinion, if I were to choose the leader, it would be my abbot Shiji." Master Wei Ming finally got to the point.
