Chapter 299 Hurt each other
What do independent cultivators lack?
What they lack are the resources that one may not necessarily find even with great effort, but which are enjoyed by disciples of a sect; what they lack is a stable environment without the protection of reliable teachers and elders, where one must be on guard against being coveted at any time; what they lack is the possibility of a breakthrough due to the limited lifespan caused by one's talent.
Dharma friends, wealth and land are all difficult to obtain.
They are the largest and most low-level group in the world of cultivation.
They dare not give their body and soul to others, and are in danger of being murdered and robbed at any time. Most of their skills and techniques are not up to standard, and are not even valued by the big sects or schools. However, they are the foundation of their livelihood.
They don't have the courage to compete with the sect for resources. Even if they meet a sect disciple whose cultivation is not as good as theirs, most of them dare not take action. They even have to curry favor with disciples from some big sects. The strength symbolized by the sect is an untouchable behemoth to them.
Although the group is mixed, their unchanging desire to survive in this world of cultivation is their unchanging nature.
......
The world of cultivation is "simple and honest", so Lu Wensheng would not use modern moral standards as the passing line, because that would basically mean annihilation. Which cultivator who ventured out didn't have a few lives on his hands? - Therefore, as long as there is still a chance to reform and the cultivator who is willing to change, they are willing to give it a chance.
It is the instinct of living things to do whatever it takes to survive. Those who go against their instincts and stick to their bottom line are admirable. Those who give up themselves in order to survive cannot be judged by this.
Lu Wensheng enjoyed the stability of the sect and had never experienced the difficulties at the bottom. He did not think he had the right to criticize these cultivators who were struggling to survive in the world of cultivation.
As long as it is not a principled mistake such as abusing monks, or maliciously harming others instead of protecting oneself, there is room for everything else.
Moreover, it is absolutely not allowed to violate the rules set by the cultivation world behind the scenes. The illusion has relevant detections. If they are found, not only will they fail, but they will also be punished. However, the probability of this happening is very small, and the cultivators with a guilty conscience will not be so bold as to do it.
Lu Wensheng naturally did not discriminate against independent cultivators like some sect disciples did. Instead, he felt that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them. If many people could abandon some worldly concepts, wouldn't they be geniuses? They were also the most eager to rise, and if there was an opportunity, they would do everything they could to seize it.
In Lu Wensheng's opinion, the "unorthodox ways" practiced by some independent cultivators are nothing more than labels arbitrarily affixed by the world under the general environment. Since they can be used by independent cultivators, they must have their conveniences - independent cultivators are pragmatic, and if it is useful to themselves and does not harm the world of cultivation, why bother about those gossips?
Sanxiu, Sanxiu, turn "scattered" into "gathered", and it can be made into a sharp sword.
Sect disciples are willing to listen and have a high degree of obedience. After training, they can become the backbone of the sect. However, this also has a disadvantage. Most of them have been solidified by the sect model and only know how to obey but lack their own thinking.
Even though it is good for management, but when faced with certain things, if they cannot use the teachings they have received to deal with them, serious problems will arise - the things they encounter will destroy their worldview, and in serious cases, their spiritual hearts may be unstable, and they may become completely devastated and useless, and their ability to withstand pressure will not be as good as that of independent cultivators.
Moreover, because they have not experienced the beatings in the outside world of cultivation, their actions and thoughts are clear and reckless. They will not turn back until they hit the wall. They are stubborn and you can't persuade them no matter how much you try. They have their own fixed thinking, and their edges are sharp and not easy to adapt.
Casual cultivators, on the other hand, have open minds and are more easily guided by ideas. They are highly receptive and have a strong ability to withstand pressure. Moreover, they are willing to work hard and be willing to do so if something is hanging in their balance. However, they are cunning and too smooth. They may not obey your discipline and may do things that are hypocritical. They have thousands of reasons to shirk their responsibilities and are not likely to have a sense of belonging. Most of them are old-timers.
I love to study the ways of the world, but I'm as slippery as a loach. Don't expect to take advantage of them anyway.
These alliance leaders are like chess players who plan the "Alliance of Common People", and these members are the chess pieces. How to arrange the chess pieces and make them play their roles in the game is their concern.
Many truths can only be understood after being in the middle of things and suffering. There are always not enough things for people to learn. The principles they comprehend are more important than arranging them step by step. This will be something that they will benefit greatly from - Lu Wensheng does not want the Cangsheng Alliance to be just a platform.
He did not want to simply use the Common People Alliance as the hub of the united front, he also wanted to try his best to eliminate most of the barriers between the identities of independent cultivators and disciples of sects, and also wanted to change the cultivators' prejudice against mortals, so that the prejudice and indifference of "just a..." would dissipate.
The common people do not just refer to the world of cultivation, but the entire world. The world of cultivation and the mortal world are ultimately still the human world.
They are all human beings, with the same roots and origins. If you trace it back, the world of cultivation and the world of mortals are originally one and the same, and they are closely connected to each other, which cannot be changed by the barrier between the world of mortals and the world of cultivation.
The initial influence started from his surroundings. The disciples of the Discipline Hall did not disappoint him, as they were all outstanding and upright young men.
Lu Wensheng was relieved. He was now standing at a higher position and could do more things, so he naturally had to do them.
He had thought about this when he first encountered Wu Feipeng and the others' situation a long time ago. He wanted to do his best to change these things and be someone who "cares".
Therefore, as alliance leaders, they cannot play the role of preaching, but rather provide a place for members to "understand the truth" and coordinate all of this behind the scenes in order to bring about subtle changes, prescribe the right medicine, and ensure that members can bear the degree to avoid going too far.
Lu Wensheng didn't understand the profound meaning, but he knew one thing - there are only chess players who don't know how to use chess pieces, but no useless chess pieces.
And, make up for what is lacking...
Lu Wensheng looked at the arrangement plan that he had thought of long ago and distributed a copy to everyone.
A seasoned casual cultivator and a sect disciple who follows strict rules are a good combination, aren't they? After the members are placed in the appropriate hall, they are divided into groups based on their personalities that can complement each other's learning.
What does the experienced person who is good at getting along with everyone fear the most? He fears the young and inexperienced people, and the young and inexperienced people who have "connections". He cannot use tricks, but he is tied to him. If the other party wants to do something more, he may have to clean up the mess. He is given extra things to do for no reason. How can he tolerate this?! He feels like he can't just slack off!
Veteran: But the other party is as stubborn as a cow, and terribly stupid. If I don’t give him some advice and teach him some things that can improve his emotional intelligence, I’m really afraid that he will be implicated one day.
What is a sincere and innocent young man afraid of? He is afraid of an old-timer, who is not enterprising and has no sense of collectiveness, who is always thinking about fishing in troubled waters, and is particularly sophisticated and not sincere at all. It feels that the environment has become smoky and chaotic when they are together - how can this be tolerated? I can't even express myself!
Young and Inexperienced: But the other party just lies down like a salted fish, so lazy that it’s terribly annoying. If I don’t urge him on and teach him some drive and sense of collectivism, I’m really afraid that he will be a burden one day.
Lu Wensheng: Just a light grasp.
Let these smart and stupid ones torture each other to learn from each other.
The leaders of the alliance who saw the deeper meaning of this: Lu Wensheng is really a devil.
