Chapter 255: Volume C: Calm down and look forward to new breakthroughs
The entire Longlinyuan became lively.
There are more than three hundred mortals here who are busy cleaning and repairing, which is quite lively.
At this time, the first group of Chonghua disciples who arrived was close to eighty, and then fifteen more disciples recruited from Fuyang Road also arrived at the same time. The entire Longlin Plain was suddenly filled with More than four hundred people attended.
After being cleaned and repaired, the habitable courtyard houses can accommodate the newly arrived disciples.
There will be more than a hundred disciples in the future and it will be difficult to satisfy them. A number of houses will need to be rebuilt, but time is too late.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of wood and stones in Wolong Ridge, and many of the two or three hundred mortals recruited have worked as bricklayers.
As long as the food supply is sufficient, and the Taoist priests who come along are there to help supervise, there will be no rush when doing the work.
This is what Chen Huaisheng and Chen Song considered at the beginning.
If the Chonghua Sect is to truly build up in Wolong Ridge, it will inevitably involve large-scale construction. Without three to five years of continuous construction, it is impossible to reach the original state at Panshan Mountain Gate in Langshan.
If you want to make it more ambitious and perfect, and truly become the foundation of the Chonghua Sect in Hebei, then you have to invest in ten or twenty years of continuous construction.
It is not that simple to rebuild a mountain gate, and it also consumes a lot of money.
Fortunately, the Chonghua Sect also has a foundation that goes back hundreds of years. They evacuated in such a relatively peaceful way. Except for the fixed assets in the mountain gate that could not be taken away, other floating wealth was basically taken away.
Chen Huaisheng didn't know how much the Chonghua Sect had accumulated over the past few hundred years, but he knew that the Chonghua Sect was relatively conservative in terms of financial expenditures, and the accumulation would not be small. It was estimated that several million spiritual stones would be certain. some.
As for the gold and silver commonly used in mortal society, there will naturally be no shortage, and it can also be exchanged with spiritual sand and spiritual stone. This is not a problem.
As long as there is no shortage of spiritual stones, no shortage of manpower, and no shortage of various resources in Hebei, it will not be difficult to build it.
"Uncle, it seems that the head master and the others are greatly stimulated and determined to change."
Chen Huaisheng accompanied Wu Tianen as they walked under the foothills on the west side of Longlinyuan. , looking at the busy people around.
With the arrival of the disciples in the sect, the construction of the three-layer mountain-protecting formation must also be put on the agenda.
The Taoist masters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already begun to survey and select the entire Longlinyuan area, and are considering the layout of the formation gates.
"Can it be a big deal? In the words of the head brother, he entered the Dengzi Mansion in order to practice cultivation and paid too little attention to the affairs of the sect. As a result, the Chonghua lineage was almost destroyed in his hands. If that were to happen, he would become the sect's eternal sinner and would never die in peace, so he once wanted to resign as head and hand it over to Senior Brother Zhu." Wu Tianen was also filled with emotion.
“But if the leader and Master Zhu hadn’t entered the Zi Mansion, then our Chonghua Sect would have been really ruined. The Baishi Sect would never have given us any chance, even the Nine Lotus Sect would have stopped us. "
Chen Huaisheng is quite sure, and Wu Tianen also agrees: "You are right, in the final analysis, a sect must be based on its own strength, just like a practitioner, also You need to determine your own destiny based on your own level. Brother Zhangyuan is ready to wait until the relocation here is over, and he is also ready to travel and experience to find opportunities for promotion..."
Li Yu is also building a foundation. He has reached his peak, but has been unable to rise to the top.
In the past, it was mainly because Shang Jiuling was in seclusion and Zhu Fengbi failed to respond to the disaster for the first time. Therefore, he originally had the opportunity to advance to the next level, but he could only delay it because of the common affairs.
Now that both Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi have entered Dengzi Mansion, it is his turn.
Breaking through the tribulation is a big challenge, if not done well it will lead to death.
Chief Elder Zhu Fengbi suffered a setback when he attacked the Zi Mansion for the first time in twenty years. Fortunately, the Chonghua Sect was well prepared at that time, with various spiritual materials and elixirs to protect the soul and spirit. In addition, Zhu Fengbi had a strong Taoist body. After surviving that disaster, we did not retreat on the spot.
Then he practiced hard for another ten years, and attacked the Zi Mansion again for the second time, and finally succeeded.
Facing the crazy expansion of Baishimen, the Chonghua faction is now deeply aware of the crisis, and both Zifus feel that they are not practical enough.
Especially when the foundation-building group of the Chonghua Sect is quite weak, it needs to be further enriched and consolidated.
Even though we have arrived in Hebei now, if we want to return to Zhao, the White Stone Gate is a threshold that we have to cross.
Baishimen already has three Zifu Immortal Qings of its own, and has also absorbed Zifu disciples from Wuyue. Its strength will definitely expand further in the future. If the Chonghua Sect does not work hard to catch up, it will only will be thrown further and further away. "Some of the original rules of the sect were indeed limited by old habits, such as centralized teaching in the Chuan Gong Academy. In the early days, this was a good way to screen out disciples with different types of characteristics, but later on, the teachings were Taoist masters are not that energetic, or not caring enough, and are far less serious than the Taoist masters who are truly accepted as disciples. This is human nature,..."
"Now the sect I believe this change will immediately enhance the enthusiasm and passion of both master and apprentice..."
Chen Huaisheng can still clearly see the changes brought about by this change.
Once the foundation builders all begin to recruit disciples and preach, the competition between them will immediately become apparent. Whether they are masters or disciples, they will go all out in terms of ethics and status.
This is of great benefit to the growth of disciples.
“Not only that, the sect will also give more preference to outstanding disciples in terms of spiritual materials and elixirs. As long as they perform outstandingly, the sect will not begrudge the spiritual materials and elixirs and help them become faster and better. The growth,..." Wu Tianen said with certainty: "The sect did very poorly in this regard before. It was too conservative and stingy, so that many disciples entered the middle and high stages of Qi refining too slowly and delayed. Now, I won’t be able to keep up with that in my subsequent practice..."
Finally realizing this, Chen Huaisheng nodded slightly.
When he first entered the sect, he didn't understand anything.
After all, when he was hanging around in the Qingmu Sect and the Xuanhuo Sect, he was either a deputy sect or a small sect. People used him as a spiritual farmer and a hunter, without considering his cultivation at all. growing up.
After arriving at the Chonghua Sect, he felt quite good with a little favor.
But after seeing how much sects like Jiulian Sect and Baishi Sect invested in their disciples’ cultivation, I realized that the Chonghua Sect was seriously lagging behind in this aspect, and could even be said to be shabby and mean.
It can be said that this is also one of the main reasons why the Chonghua Sect has not only few middle-level and outstanding outstanding disciples but also poor conditions.
He mentioned it to Wu Tianen, but this was not something Wu Tianen could change. He only began to realize and make changes after the Chonghua sect suffered such a heavy blow and was even forced to leave his hometown.
It is not too late to remedy the situation, and now that we are in Hebei, it is not too late.
"In addition, the sect is too conservative in recruiting disciples. It was basically limited to Langling and even Yijun. It took a lot of effort to make adjustments in the past two years, but it encountered..."
< br>Wu Tianen shook his head.
"Uncle, it's not too late. The Taoist talents here in Hebei are not bad. In my opinion, they are even more abundant and outstanding than Yijun. Looking at Fuyang Taoism, basically no one can compete with us. , even if the Six Paths of Yanzhou, that is, the Tianhe Sect, can compete with us, but they are also relatively conservative, and are mainly limited to the two paths in the west, the east and the south. We still have a great opportunity to expand our influence. Attract more outstanding disciples to apply,..."
Wu Tianen also agreed with Chen Huaisheng's words: "The sect also has this intention. It must follow the practices of the super sects in Da Zhao and send personnel to patrol the Six Paths of Yanzhou and even the entire Hebei Province to find outstanding disciples. The Zhike Academy must take on the responsibility. With this responsibility coming, at the same time, we will take the selection seriously for those who take the initiative to join our sect,..."
Chen Huaisheng realized that the Chonghua Sect, which had been hit and stimulated, was really going to change completely. It's just that it's a little late.
Even if it is now fully developed to attract and recruit outstanding talents into the sect, without twenty or thirty years of hard training, there will be no results at all.
No matter how outstanding a disciple is, starting from the beginning of enlightenment, without twenty years of hard work, it is impossible for him to achieve enlightenment and advance to foundation building.
Thinking of this, it seems that I have broken this routine a bit, but there is a special reason here, that is, I started too late, eight or nine years later than ordinary disciples. Maybe this can be regarded as a compensation?
"Huai Sheng, I see that you seem to be quite interested in these general affairs. Senior Brother Mu Yang and Wang Yao both said that you are very talented in this area, but I would like to remind you that as a cultivation sect, in the final analysis, it is up to you to decide your own destiny. No matter how proficient you are in ordinary affairs, if your level of cultivation is poor, it will still be difficult for you to enter the elegant hall, and you will not be valued in the sect. "
Wu Tianen's tone became serious. He got up: "Ou Qingchun and Tong Baichuan are typical examples. They lost their mentality and courage to make progress in practice early, and became increasingly depressed. Therefore, the headmaster and the headmaster did not pay enough attention to them, which made them complain, which is why so many problems arose. But at this point, the sect still insists on this view and will not change it. Those who do not have the ambition to improve themselves in practice will be embarrassed in their big posts..."
Chen Huaisheng was a little confused.
Although I habitually like to participate in common affairs, I have never thought of neglecting my practice for the sake of common affairs. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
His concern for general affairs is also for the sake of the sect. Only when the sect becomes stronger can the big tree next to him provide him with better resources and help.
"Master, don't worry. This disciple has absolutely no such intention. Cultivation should be the first priority. The disciple originally thought that after settling down at the mountain gate, he would practice in seclusion, trying to eliminate some of the problems that may exist after breaking through the realm during this period. To make up for the weakness, I am also thinking about re-selecting one or two spells to increase combat power..."
Hearing what Chen Huaisheng said, Wu Tianen was happy and nodded repeatedly: "You understand the importance of this. That’s fine, I’m afraid you’ll get lost in your thoughts,...”
