Chapter 2 Disciple Rules
In the octagonal pavilion by Xiaoming Lake, Tang Jie wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine, just trying to feel the great war of the ancients just now, but I was hit by the Taoism on this tablet and got hurt. I really didn't expect that the Taoist tablet lasted a thousand years , Taoism is still so fierce."
Wei Tianchong looked at him with some disbelief: "What did you say just now about the law of heaven and the law, so you can realize it at that moment, right?"
Tang Jie laughed loudly: "Enlightenment, enlightenment, that is to realize something to be enlightened, young master, do you think I have realized something?"
Wei Tianchong rubbed his head: "That's right, I haven't seen any changes in you. Besides, in the world of cultivating immortals, art, magic, supernatural powers, and Tao. Since Tao is the highest state, it should naturally be a step by step. How can there be immortality?" Before the law has been cultivated, the principle of entering the path first."
He was right when he said this, Taoism is not something that can be realized just by enlightenment, if you don’t have the corresponding strength to understand Taoism, it’s like a primary school student who reads international current affairs and can understand every word, but he just doesn’t understand the meaning.
But he didn't know that Tang Jie didn't realize the Tao but observe the Tao.
The way of heaven is impermanent, and mortals can't see it. Only by chance can we see the movement of the law of heaven and law.
If enlightenment is reading and literacy, then observing the Tao is the entry, and only by observing the Tao first can you further understand the Tao, and the entry itself is unconditional.
Tang Jie glimpsed the movement of the Dao of Heaven inadvertently. Although it was only a glimpse, the meaning of boundless vastness left a deep impression in his heart. At that moment, he at least knew what the Dao of Heaven was, and had the most intuitive understanding of the Dao of Heaven. Impression, and this impression is not something that can be described and imagined by a Heavenly Dao Falun. It is a feeling hidden deep in the body and mind.
With this heavy feeling, when he reaches the realm in the future, when the opportunity comes, it will be the time for him to realize the Tao.
Although he himself still doesn't know what use this is for him, he knows that this is probably an adventure, and he has something to do with the Xianjia Dao.
It's a pity that when he looked at the Taoist tablet that day again, he no longer had the thrilling feeling before. He knew that there was only one chance, and it was gone after it passed, and he felt regretful in his heart.
"But speaking of it, how do you know this?" Fortunately, Wei Tianchong took the initiative to change the subject at this time.
Tang Jie was just waiting for his words, and when Wei Tianchong asked, he smiled and said, "If you read a lot, you will naturally understand."
As he spoke, he shook the book in his hand.
Wei Tianchong could see clearly, but Tang Jie was holding a copy of "Disciple Regulations" in his hand, he couldn't help shaking his head: "What's so interesting about this thing."
Tang Jie replied: "Master, I misunderstood. The book I have in my hand is not an ordinary student rule, but the disciple rule of Xiyue College. It contains all kinds of rules that must be followed after entering the college. This is my book. A few days ago, I specially asked my wife to ask the young master to send it."
"My mother bought books for you?" Wei Tianchong was very curious when he heard this: "Didn't you know these things when you went to the academy? Why do you have to go all the way to buy them? Or did you ask my brother to buy them for you?"
"Know the rules before breaking them, young master, don't underestimate the rules of Xiyue College, this is very important. Although there are not many rules, each one needs to be understood one by one. It seems that there are only a thousand words , but I need to read every word carefully and think over and over again. These days, I have read every rule above hundreds of times, and it can be said that I have memorized it thoroughly. If I wait until I enter the academy to understand, I will not have time to let me do this Researched."
"Why is that?" Shi Meng didn't understand this time, isn't it just some academy rules? Why so much attention.
Tang Jie smiled, sat down on the bench at the corner of the pavilion, and looked at Xiao Minghu: "You know, young master, every year after entering the academy, new students will get 100 points. This 100 points will be our future The performance basis of college life, if you make a slight mistake, the immortal masters of the college will deduct points according to your performance. Once the 100 points are deducted, you will be expelled from the college immediately, even if you are a genius, Yumen Nine Ranks , is no exception. Therefore, it is not that you can sit back and relax after entering the academy. If you do not do well and get kicked out, the quota will be wasted.
Then young master, tell me, are these rules important? "
Wei Tianchong was startled when he heard this: "No one really told me about this, how did you know?"
"I only found out after reading the Disciple Rules."
"Then you only found out later, why did you think of going to see Disciple Rules again?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled, the causal relationship didn't make sense.
Tang Jie has already replied: "Because even if there is no 100-point rule, I will still pay attention to the rules of Xiyue College! I went to a new place, and it is impossible not to understand the rules there. It is like we are servants by your side Same, don’t you have to know the rules to do things well?”
Hearing this, Wei Tian rushed forward and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't understand this, but I just heard that the world of cultivating immortals is cruel, the jungle is prey to the strong, you fight over each other, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss, so the rules It doesn't matter what."
Tang Jie laughed out loud, thinking that of course this is the world of the weak and the strong, do you think that if you tie Lao Tzu to a tree and whip him, that is not the world of the weak and the strong? Wasn't Shi Mo's death the law of the jungle? Do you have to shout out that those who rebel against me will die to be called the weak and the strong?
But he could only say: "The world of cultivating immortals is indeed a place of cruel competition. It is common to fight each other to the death, but it also depends on the time and situation. In fact, there are two kinds of cruel competition, one is In the struggle of troubled times, at that time, it could be said that everything was dominated by naked/naked fists. Looking at the past, it was all about killing. Then it was true that whoever had the biggest fist was the king. One was the struggle for ruling the world, and cruelty was the essence. But it’s not superficial, everyone is polite on the surface.”
Speaking of this, Tang Jie said with a smile: "In today's Qixia Realm, the six major sects rule the world, and it is a world of great rule. In this world of great rule, no matter how cruel your core is, you must have a warm appearance. Even if it is killing people, they will say something to send you on your way. That is called gentleness. Therefore, the law of the jungle and big fists are the rules. Although such things exist, they only flow in the dark after all, probably because those small sects regard them as Gui Gao, holding it to the public is absolutely not allowed in the Xiyue Sect."
"Then why is the Xiaomen faction regarded as Guigao, and the Xiyue faction absolutely forbids it?"
"Because the Moonwashing faction is the ruling party... Well, it is the power faction. For the general trend, rules are the basic means for them to govern the world. Without rules, they cannot govern. Only those who are in opposition... those who have no power The powerless small faction will always think about subverting the rules, because for them, the only way to have a chance is to subvert. Therefore, it is not without reason that the big faction is conservative and the small faction is aggressive. Of course, this aggressiveness will make progress. How it becomes is another matter, anyway, as long as it is different from the original faction. The big faction adheres to the rules, and the small faction will naturally follow the law of the jungle, and the winner is king. We must put people first and govern the world economically. If you want to subvert the political power, you must subvert the mind. Only when the mind changes can the direction of the fist change... No matter what age or world, this will not change at all." Tang Jie leisurely Said.
"As for the Moonwashing Sect, they are at the top of their literary minds, they make their own laws, and rule the world from a distance. If they violate the rules they set, that is to touch the interests of the Moonwashing Sect, offend the authority of the Moonwashing Sect, and challenge the Moonwashing Sect. Therefore, the Xiyue Sect values geniuses, but rules are more important. If the young master thinks that he can ignore the rules of the academy only if he is talented, he is completely wrong. How many geniuses are dismissed because of their high self-esteem and ignoring the rules? The Moon Cleansing Academy kicked them out directly."
Speaking of this, Tang Jie smiled: "By the way, in Xiyue College, there is a rule that if you fail to arrive at the college on time when the semester starts, ten points will be deducted for being late for one day. No matter where you come from, go back, it's useless for anyone to intercede!"
Wei Tianchong's expression changed, and he finally understood why Tang Jie told him this.
If he was late for many days because of his travels and was expelled from the academy, let his mother know that his son became the first person to be expelled from the academy this year, and he would probably be beaten to death!
Thinking of this, Wei Tianchong's scalp tingled for a while.
He scratched his scalp and said, "Okay, I get it. After today, let's hurry up and I won't be late."
"Young master is still sensible." Tang Jie replied with a smile.
Wei Tianchong said angrily: "Then what do you mean, as long as my points are not deducted, I can become a disciple of Xiyue?"
Tang Jie still shook his head: "Xiyue Academy enrolls 1,500 students every year, but master, do you know how many can really join the Xiyue Sect?"
"……one thousand?"
Tang Jie shook his head.
"The five hundred?"
Tang Jie still shook his head.
"There can't be only one hundred?" Wei Tianchong was already disappointed.
Only 100 out of 1,500 people can enter the sect, that is the probability of 1/15, which is too small.
Tang Jie smiled lightly: "Ten."
"Ah?" Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng's jaws were about to drop.
Tang Jie added another sentence: "At most ten, and it is better to be short than to be excessive!"
"How come there are so few?" Wei Tianchong was taken aback.
Tang Jie replied: "Students of Xiyue Academy are divided into five categories. The worst category is those students who were expelled from the academy because their points were deducted. Because they were expelled from the academy, these people are not allowed outside Those who are called Xiyue students can only be called abandoned students, that is, students who have been abandoned. There are about one or two hundred such people every year, so the rules of Xiyue College are not so easy to follow. "
"The second category is the students who keep their points but fail to enter the Transcendence Realm. They are called donators, because they are equivalent to taking some money to visit the college and then leave, so they are jokingly called donations. There are quite a lot of people, and there are hundreds of people who cannot enter the Transcendence Realm due to their aptitude, that is to say, only donated and abandoned lives account for half of them."
"The third category is naturally to retain the points and successfully enter the Transcendence Realm. At this time, the Xiyue Sect recognizes them as students of the Xiyue Academy, but they are only students, just like teachers who open courses. They are simply teaching, not A direct master-student relationship. In addition, those who have just entered are also called students. As for whether to go up or down or stay in the future, it depends on each person's own development."
"The fourth category is to select outstanding people from the third category. They are elites. The Moon Cleansing Sect recognizes their status and can enter the outer sect, so they are called sects or eugenics. There are about 100 of these people every year. If you want to count him as a disciple of Xiyue, you can barely count it."
"The fifth category is to select the ten most outstanding disciples from the disciples to enter the Moon Sect and teach the Supreme Immortal Dharma. They are called the true disciples of the Moon Sect, and they are the inner sect."
"In addition to these five categories, there is actually another category, which is to gather all the inner disciples within a certain number of years to select once again. The number of this category is not fixed, and the time is also not fixed. The ones who are selected are the elites who are selected from ten thousand. There is hope to become a direct disciple of the True Monarch of the Purple Mansion or even the Da Neng of Xiantai, this type is called True Inheritance, but it is not included in the five categories."
"Abandoned students, donated students, students, disciples, disciples, these are the five major categories of students of Xiyue Academy. In the future, when you meet someone, you will know who the other person is. Of course, don't expect them to call themselves That's right, and different levels mean different treatment, if the young master wants to achieve something in the future, he can't be careless."
Wei Tianchong was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Why does this sound more difficult and complicated than choosing a servant in my family?"
So you also know that it is not easy for your family to choose servants?
Tang Jie slandered, but still had a smile on his face: "That's natural. Xiyue Academy is not a place where you can stay at ease after entering. Many people think that entering the academy means entering the fairy gate. That's a big mistake. Wrong, the road ahead is still long."
Entering the academy is just a qualification to enter the fairy gate.
If the true biography is the champion and the disciple is the top ten, then becoming a subordinate is the top forty, becoming a student is the rematch, donating students is the preliminary round, and enrolling is just an audition.
As for abandoning a life, that is called breaking the rules halfway and depriving the right to compete.
The road to immortality is long, and the gate of immortality is difficult to open. To enter the gate of immortality, one has to go through five stages and kill six generals.
Thinking that there were only ten disciples out of 1,500 students, Wei Tianchong also shuddered, shook his head and said, "I think I have no hope, so let's work hard to become a disciple. But there are only a hundred disciples." Ah, you said that if I got to the level of a student, my mother wouldn't scold me, right? At least the student is recognized by the academy."
His current ambition is to satisfy his mother's wishes, at least not to be beaten. As for whether his mother will beat him after he has become a fairy queen, he has never thought about it.
Tang Jie said with a smile: "My wife's expectations for the young master are indeed only up to the level of a student. Entering as a student, and exiting as a student, it is a good job. But..."
His unremarkable voice was relatively long, which made Wei Tianchong tremble a bit: "But what?"
"But I made a wish to the master and wife back then. The young master will not escape from the world, and Tang Jie will not escape from the servant. If the young master does not have Tianxin, Tang Jie will not escape from citizenship. A mere student is still too far away from Tianxin ah!"
"What?" Wei Tian rushed to his feet, pointed at Tang Jie and shouted, "You...you...you...you want me to be a disciple?"
"Although the possibility of becoming a disciple of Tianxin is much higher, it is still not safe...so I want the young master to be not a disciple of the sect, but a formal inner disciple, to be among the top ten!" Tang Jie said seriously.
Wei Tianchong rolled the whites of his eyes and almost fainted.
This guy actually made himself an absolute elite of one hundred and fifty out of fifteen hundred people, is he kidding?
Wei Tianchong is actually a somewhat arrogant kid, but no matter how arrogant he is, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that he can become the leader of the thousand people. At this moment, Tang Jie said that he was terrified. He shouted: "Don't even think about it, I'm not interested in competing for those top ten disciples."
"That's right!" Shi Meng also yelled: "I can pay my wife's job, but I can't pay your Tang Jie's job. What kind of reason is this? The young master is the young master, and you are a servant. Why do you ask the young master to be a ten-year-old?" Big disciple?"
Tang Jie spread his hands: "Why are you so excited? You say it as if I want to harm the young master. Isn't it for the young master? The top ten disciples, that's what many people want to achieve."
"You sound good, you want the young master to be a disciple? Why don't you first see if you have the ability to be a disciple?" Shi Meng shouted.
These words made Wei Tianchong wake up like a dream: "That's right, that's right, Tang Jie, look at yourself first, and then consider me when you have the ability to become a disciple. If you can become a true disciple, I can enter." Door!"
Tang Jie smiled and said: "I'm not sure about the true teaching, but for me, it's really not difficult to become an official inner disciple... If I want to join the Xiyue Sect, I will join if I say so."
Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng looked at each other, then raised their heads and laughed together, pointing at Tang Jie and laughing back and forth.
"Just blow it up!" Wei Tian laughed: "If you say you want to join the Xiyue faction, why do you still come to my house? Why don't you just go to Xiyue College? Let's go, Shimeng, and stop talking nonsense with him .”
Speaking of which, he went back to the carriage first. Anyway, it's not fun to deduct points for being late. It's better to get on the road earlier and arrive earlier.
"That's right, why do you say that you want to achieve success? You're really bragging!" Shi Meng also left a sentence, and rushed away after Wei Tian.
Looking at Xiaoming Lake in front of him, Tang Jie showed a smile in his eyes.
He whispered to himself: "Why... just because I am called Tang Jie!"
