I recently went back to school and took classes in isolation. I was in the factory dormitory. The environment was bad and there were many things going on, and my mentality was quite depressed, so I went to rest.
And the issue of recruiting disciples that everyone mentioned
1. Zhao Shun only left a promise and did not actually accept a disciple. The so-called "Senior Sister of the Master" itself depends on the order of entry. It is still open to question whether it can be established. In addition, is it too early to deny Gu Sinian because of his qualifications? The promise left by Zhao Shun was that Gu Sinian would be introduced to the world only after she came to the world. The hardships and time span she had gone through were by no means short. (At least in the long subsequent plot, the apprentice will not appear)
I personally think that a monk who was born in the Small Thousand World can come to the Big Thousand World by his own ability. This is definitely not something that mediocre people can do. If Gu Sinian really has the day to go to the upper world, I am afraid that her character and ability will be different. She was different from the one Zhao Shun met at the beginning. And there is another key point in this, which is whether Gu Sinian can reach the upper realm. If she soars into the sky and shines like a jade, it is natural and reasonable for Zhao Chun to accept her. If she "hurts Zhongyong" and has mediocre qualifications, Then she wouldn't be able to come to the Great World, and Zhao Chun wouldn't have to accept her as his disciple. At the same time, there is another situation, that is, Gu Sinian's qualifications are not peerless. When he arrived in the world, he relied on his cultivation to soar and his lifespan was also consumed. Don't forget, the so-called disciples There are also distinctions between personal inheritance and registered disciples. Even if Zhao Chun accepted her as a registered disciple, it would also be included in the promise.
2. The issue of recruitment time. Everyone thinks that it is too early for Zhao Shun to accept a disciple. This view is actually reasonable, but in the plot revealed in the book, has Zhao Shun accepted a disciple? No.
It’s still the same statement as before, Gu Sinian is going to go to the world
Come on, the time span is by no means short. It can be said that for a long time, there will be no plot about the apprentice.
3. The problem of back-posting, this is something I personally hate and feel very confused about.
If you really want to flip the story, wouldn't it be easier to just capture Gu Sinian together in the world and save millions of troubles?
In addition, in this book, the principle adhered to has always been "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual." He protects his shortcomings like Haiqing, and will never take care of all Zhao Chun's affairs. The way of practice depends on the monk himself. It's about giving guidance rather than doing everything by hand, so even in the later plots, there will be no such thing as "raising an apprentice". Including my own style, this book is based on the purpose of "walking alone on the road". The road of spiritual practice has always been lonely, and the apprentice is just a follower. In the long years, there will be apprentices who die or pass away earlier than the master. things. Therefore, Zhao Shun's own Tao is the absolutely important plot of the book.
Even in the book, the supporting characters serve the protagonist. Some people have complained about the supporting characters as tool men before, I don’t deny it.
I don’t think I let the plot proportion or halo of any person in the book overshadow Zhao Shun. As an author, I inevitably prefer the protagonist in my novel. From the beginning to the distant end of the book, Zhao Shun will be The only protagonist.
Finally, reading is something that makes you happy. If you feel unhappy about it, don’t force yourself. Reading is a pastime, and you are more important.
