"This Nine Palaces Swordsmanship Sect is finally in your hands..." Qingwei, the old Taoist, was obviously confused in his heart. He was still on the top of the short mountain, still looking up at the sky.
"Isn't this what you always wanted? You don't have to worry too much. I'm not someone who gives up my life easily..." Zhu Ping'an is an experienced practitioner.
"Move to the mountain?" The old Taoist Qingwei still has reason and wisdom, but now it's a bit difficult for him to cope with the situation. He has to let Zhu Ping'an take charge!
"Do you want to take a back seat?" Zhu Ping'an will not let Qingwei Taoist take a back seat. He who has been famous for decades in the ninth rank has to work! When necessary, you have to fight with your life to some extent.
"The old Taoist is just a little confused suddenly. He doesn't know where to go, let alone what the swordsmanship will do in the future..."
"It's easy to say, I'll make an agreement with you on one, two, three."
"you say……"
"First of all, in the past few days, I have carefully studied the three magical powers of the Kendo Sect and improved them several times. I just urge my disciples to practice well."
"It's so good. After all, people are different. Talents and gifts are innate... I wish you peace if you are born! What's the second thing?"
Zhu Ping'an smiled, not necessarily fully agreeing, but just continued: "Jiafeng Zhijincao, this is a big deal. After you were injured, there were seven or eight hundred people who defected from Zhao Anshi, and there were many disciples who left privately. , most of the people who are still in the sect are of good character. The previous method of teaching disciples by distinguishing between internal and external relatives may not be suitable... Whether it is basic skills or the three magical powers, as long as you can learn them Yes, you can teach me, but you don’t need to keep too much stock of elixirs and the like, just give them if you can..."
Obviously, in Zhu Ping'an's view, this kind of important matter of life and death for the sect is not necessarily all bad, but also beneficial. At least it can identify a large number of people with impure thoughts.
"Well, your method is not wrong, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue in the future. After all, the affairs of the sect are passed down for thousands of years... The cost is very huge. If you don't plan carefully... I'm afraid it won't last long. …”
Managing a large sect is an extremely complicated matter. According to Zhu Ping'an's method, lavish spending is really not a way to live a good life.
"If you can't hold on, you won't be able to make money. Just find a way to make money! Do you think those monks can make money? You have to learn!"
In Zhu Ping'an's view, managing a sect is the same thing as managing a company. You have to do it, it’s the best on the market!
Daomen, there is a big problem, that is, escaping from the world... There is an attitude of not caring about the world, living with big fish and meat for a day, eating bran and vegetables for a day...
It’s not that I’m wrong, for individuals, personal pursuits, yes! But for an organization, that's a problem...
Old man Qingwei smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to make money?"
"First of all, separate several departments, um... For example, open a 'Enter the World Hall', and open a 'Rebirth Hall', so that those who want to meditate in the mountains and forests can meditate in the mountains and forests, and those who want to go out to show themselves as saints can do so. When you go out to show your saints, don’t fixate on everyone with one thought. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and everyone wants to see the immortals. There are so many immortals here, how can we not let others see them?"
Taoist people have a chain of contempt, which seems to be born... that is, people who meditate look down on those who show off everywhere... It seems that the masters from the outside world are the masters. This chain of contempt must be broken...
Those who show off too much may even be expelled from the school...
This aspect of Buddhism is very good, and it is called euphemistically: saving the common people and saving oneself! It is also one of the differences between Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism!
"This... I'm afraid it's not in line with Taoism..." Old man Qingwei had some persistence in his heart.
"Tao heart? If you don't break the world of mortals, how can you get Tao heart? If you don't leave the human world, how can you know what giving up is? Look at the gods, Lin Lingsu, and Taoist celestial phenomena. They all know how to solve problems by changing their thinking... Let's talk about Sword Dao Sect. Why? How can you build this continuous palace? Isn’t it the result of the ancestors showing their saints in front of others? It is also said that for this elixir and medicine, you have to search all over the mountain for each medicine. How many pills can you make? "
There is some truth in this sentence. Old man Qingwei may not agree with it in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "In the end, it will be in your hands, and it is up to you..."
"We still need to collect tolls. Those rivers and lakes can be collected by crossing the river even if they are familiar with some Qi training methods. Why is it that the Sword Dao Sect is so powerful and it is not far from the main river waterway? It can't collect some tolls? Just send people to sweep the nearby areas. Hundreds of miles of mountains and forests, protecting the road safely, I should collect some money!"
"This... is too..." Qingwei couldn't accept it, and it looked a bit ugly.
Zhu Ping'an had already risen up, and said directly: "We still need to open a trading company, and we should do medicinal materials business first. There are many people in the sect who study medicinal materials. Even you, old man, you are a good hand, I think you have something in your hand. Let's see. You will definitely know it at a glance, how can you not take advantage of it? It seems that your second disciple is also the leader, so let him lead others to do it..."
"Uh..." Qingwei had indigestion.
"I'm so poor that I can't even eat. How can I be an expert in this world? I raise thousands of disciples and rely on some incense and support from the disciples' families. It seems powerful. I'm already a strong person on the outside. The Sword Dao Sect is not the same as the Tianyi Sect and the Shenxiao Sect. Being so famous all over the world, and being rewarded by the emperor and many powerful people... We have to find a way on our own. Why can those disciples be easily bewitched by Zhao Anshi? Without him, Zhao Anshi has given so much! They have worked hard to practice for more than ten years. Years, decades, and abilities, not everyone has a firm heart to follow the Tao..."
Zhu Pingan paused for a moment and looked at the old man Qingwei...
Qingwei was silent, looked up at the sky, and asked: "Ping An, you said... is there really such a thing as ascension in this world?"
Why have you come to this point? Hmm...it turned out to be the so-called Taoist heart. Zhu Pingan shook his head: "No!"
"Then how can we explain our acquisition of this magical power that is different from ordinary people?" Qingwei said this was a philosophical question.
Since they can't ascend, why do some people have supernatural powers? Since it can ascend, then...why has it not been heard of in the world for a long time? Even the legendary ascension events are now slowly being told by no one...
No one believes in ascension, so...how can we ask everyone to have the so-called Taoist heart?
Qingwei was convincing himself... and also revealed the doubts he had been seeking for decades... He was once a genius, he believed and questioned, and he lived like this all his life, ascending... to live forever... even a shadow I didn't even touch it... When I looked back, I looked like I was powerful, but I seemed to have been living my life in ignorance...
"You don't have to think so, Tao, it's just inner peace and joy, it doesn't necessarily mean ascending to immortality and seeking immortality..."
"Yes... I feel peaceful and happy..." Qingwei nodded, peaceful? Pleasurable? Problems that cannot be solved can only be escaped: "I just want to be worthy of my ancestors..."
"Well, you're right, there is another person who deserves to die... without any regrets. In this way, he will be free and easy!" Zhu Ping'an suddenly felt something in his heart.
Qingwei looked at Zhu Ping'an and didn't know what she was thinking. She just asked: "Is there a third one?"
