Chapter 29 Entering the Sect (2)
Jing Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The old woman’s question was not a difficult problem, just answer it according to the truth.
"Your Highness, I have discussed with fellow Taoist Shang. The sect sets rules to select suitable disciples. The casual cultivators are too arrogant. If they force Xiahou Jie to cause death and injury, it is not the original intention of the 'rolling curtain valley' competition. Therefore, I have intervened. As for the female cultivator 'Bing Ba'... I have set up a formation on the low hill in advance, so I should be safe for myself..."
The old woman said lightly: "We have been practicing Taoism and always accompanying danger. Life and death are common. Not to mention anything else, there are not less than ten cultivators who died under the claws of monsters in the "rolling curtain valley" alone. How do you know that the joining of the cultivators and overwhelming the few is not a test for the disciples of the sect?"
"ah......"
The old woman's words were beyond expectations, and Jing Hua was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to deal with them. After a while, he lowered his head and replied, "Report to senior, I really never thought about it..."
The old woman closed her eyes without commenting. There was a middle-aged beautiful woman beside her, with her eyebrows flying slanted into her temples, with a bit of "a woman who is not as good as a man".
"Jinghua, if you are a disciple of this sect and judge many casual cultivators and Xiahou boys, where can you enter the sect?"
Jing Hua replied directly: "I think it should belong to fellow Taoist Xiahou..."
"Oh? Tell me the reason..."
"Yes... the monks practice hard day after day, and they fight for nothing more than a glimmer of hope, and ultimately achieve long-lasting vision and freedom. Since the sects compete, "competition" is the core of the competition. Everyone should be measured according to the rules, rather than relying on more people to win."
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Is that right? Then, boy Xiahou and the female cultivator "Bingba", choose one of them. Which one do you think is suitable for joining the sect?"
"this......"
Jing Hua was speechless for a moment. Xiahou Jie was very powerful and it was hard to say, but the female student "Bing Ba" was good at dispatching, which was also a rare talent. Jing Hua traveled through time and knew that administration, planning and management were the key qualities, which were far from comparable to other abilities.
He pondered for a while and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Your High School, I think both of you are suitable for joining the sect, and you cannot make a choice."
Before the beautiful woman could speak, a bald old man suddenly spoke on his right.
"The two disciples have the same strength, the same qualifications and the same character. One comes from a family in this continent, and the other is a rootless cultivator. Choose one of the two. Who do you choose to join the sect?"
Jing Hua hesitated: "The strength is comparable... or you can choose another competition and choose the best one to join the sect..."
The bald old man said lightly: "I said it very clearly. The two of them are equal in all aspects, so you can only choose one."
Jing Hua was silent for a moment and answered decisively: "Selected to join the sect and eliminate the children of aristocratic families."
"Oh? Why?"
Since Jing Hua made a choice, he calmed down.
"The children of aristocratic families are different from those of casual cultivators. They have superior conditions and are given attentive guidance from elders. They are usually influenced by their own words and teachings, and their benefits are even more unmeasurable. This is still comparable to the casual cultivator, which only means that the qualifications of the casual cultivator are better. He may work harder, perhaps with extraordinary talents, or may have other adventures to smooth out the gap with the aristocratic family. No matter what it is for, he conforms to the principle of choosing the best in the sect, and......"
Jing Hua paused and continued to explain: "...The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency. The way of human beings is not the same. The lack of deficiency and the excess is the responsibility. Our monks seek the laws of heaven and wake up from this at that time. The children of aristocratic families do not lack skills, elixirs, magic tools, and teachers. They only choose the best among the best. Most of the casual cultivators have some shortcomings and have to rely on their own efforts. If the sect chooses disciples like this, it will conform to the laws of birth and death of heaven..."
At least the master of Transformation and God are here, all of whom have lived for hundreds of years, their vision and knowledge are much better than those of mortals. Jing Hua's reasons are nothing new.
It is easy to see that there is no "Tao Te Ching" in Yue Mainland. Jing Hua's famous saying "robbery" implies the truth and points directly to the hearts of the people. The elders seek the great way, their eyes are like torches, and they immediately realize the extraordinary in their words.
For a moment, no one asked questions in the hall again. Seeing this, Mi Changzu waved his hand to signal Jing Hua to retreat. When the junior figure disappeared, he turned to the right first.
"Junior Sister Xin, how about it?"
"Junior Sister Xin" is named Xin Zhongze, and is the God-Transforming Elder of "Zhenhanfeng". The parrot standing on her shoulder is very magical, with the blood of ancient spirit beasts in her body, which can identify the authenticity of human words.
"There is a lot of scheming and there is no lie."
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Mi Changzu smiled and said, "...If we can keep our hearts as calm as water, it would be abnormal. The founding sect's pioneers left behind their legacy and selected disciples, following the twelve-word principle of "unparalleled, profound blessings, and great fortunes." Jing Hua made his mark during the first trial, and the fellow monks praised him mixed opinions. Five thought he was suitable for joining the sect, while four opposed him joining the sect. I thought that Jing Hua had a clear and excellent roots and excellent qualifications, and was in line with the needs of the sect. Although he had advanced to build a foundation, he could still be included in the wall and become a disciple of this sect..."
"good......"
The old woman who asked questions before was the "Cangdoufeng" yard, named Chunyu Qingwei. She took the conversation and continued to speak.
"...It is clear from the experience that Xiaozi Jing is a bronze-president of Guanyuezhai. He has participated in the affairs of the sect many times. This alone shows that he is good at adapting and is not a fool who only knows how to practice in seclusion. This sect does not lack combat power, qualifications, and roots are important. If you have extra talent and help deal with matters in the sect, you should be given priority."
"Hmph...the words are plain and unaware of the so-called!"
The bald old man seemed dissatisfied and said a comment.
He is Zhang Qian, the elder of Duchuan Peak. He once asked Jing Hua about it, but was not very satisfied with the answer. However, the dispute between "arist families" and "dispersed cultivators" has been around for a long time in the "Yi Shenzong" and no one will take it seriously.
Seeing that no one objected, Mi Changzu laughed a few times.
"In this way, Xiaozi Jing passed the test. We have to decide the ownership according to the rules. Sort by Jiufeng, the first choice for this round is Fangyuanfeng. Although I like the boy's calligraphy, I have no intention of accepting him into the peak..."
The other elders were stunned. The one who expressed their opinions was Mi Changzu and Chunyu Wei. They had the greatest possibility of accepting Jing Hua. However, the elders immediately felt relieved and wanted Mi Changzu, and maybe they had a tacit understanding with other elders.
Once a year, I choose disciples, and the faction responsible for hosting benefits the most. Not to mention anything else, there is a lot of articles to do just the arrangement of "candidate disciples".
The order of Jiufeng is different. As long as the arrangement is reasonable, the selected disciples can be given priority. Fang Yuanfeng is currently the host, and ten years later, it will be replaced by others to manage them. They can still benefit from it.
Mi Changzu continued: "...In the order agreed before, the second choice is Duchuan Feng and Wen Daofeng. Senior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Le, what do you two think?"
"Senior Brother Zhang" is Zhang Qian. Duchuan Peak is the strongest among the Jiufeng, with the majority of the children of aristocratic families. They have communicated with their own clans and cooperated internally and externally, and have indeed gained a lot of real benefits.
Zhang Qian himself was born into a family of Taoism in the Central Plains. Jing Hua was biased towards a casual cultivator in the "fair" choice, which made him displeased. He heard Mi Changzu's questioning, so he closed his eyes and did not express his opinion.
The person who asked the peak was Elder Lehe. He and Mi Changzu had a tacit understanding and smiled after hearing this.
"Okay! Boy Jinghua is very much in my opinion, so I will be included in the 'question' lineage..."
