Hou Zi did not expect that he could meet fellow villagers here. Sanjiang is a prefectural city, and Fufeng is a small town under Sanjiang Prefecture. But if everyone comes to Shan State, it is not too much to say that they are fellow villagers, and the local accent is cordial.
After being introduced into the room and making tea, Hou Zi was a little confused, "How did Brother Gu know that my younger brother is from Fufeng?"
Gu Weixin smiled slightly and said, "If you say this, it means you study too hard and don't hear what's going on outside the window.
In Jincheng and in the outer courtyard, there are quite a few monks from Anhe Kingdom who want to join the Quanzhen Sect, not just you and me, but a large group."
Hou Zi couldn't help but laugh, "It's just that I'm ignorant. It turns out that the so-called Taoist sect and the demonic sect can't be distinguished so clearly. This is a great harvest of the complete truth, and it involves countless things. Please teach me, brother."
Gu Weixin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Slow down, take your time. Since we are from the same house, I will tell you everything I know. But before that, I want to say hello to you. Why don't you go out with the others to kill the monsters?"
Hou Zi asked back, "Brother, isn't it the same? I'm of a low level and have limited abilities, so I won't get involved, right? Don't let the demon catch you and be eaten by the demon again."
Gu Weixin nodded, "Brother Hou has a clear view. Most of these people are well-known casual cultivators in Shan. After all, they are different from us. There are some things they can do and compete for, but we may not.
There are more than seventy seekers in the outer courtyard, most of them are visitors from other lands, and many of them have been encouraged to go. This is because they have an uncertain stance and are unclear about their own situation. In the future, if they are unsure, they will be treated as spearmen."
Hou Zi sighed, "Faction disputes are everywhere, and it turns out that the same is true for the Demon Sect."
Gu Weixin curled his lips, "Factions are beyond the immortal world, whether it is the mortal officialdom or the practice circle, whether it is Taoism, magic or Buddhism, it is actually the same;
It is the battle of ideas that can never be eradicated and is also the driving force for the development of cultivation. Otherwise, if everyone thinks in the same direction and works hard in the same direction, wouldn’t this world become a paradise?
All the monsters and monsters have been wiped out long ago."
Hou Ting was not unaware of these evils, he just felt that with his current position, he might not have anything to do with them, but he didn't expect that people would already be involved in right and wrong before they joined the religion.
"Brother Gu said that most of the people in the outer courtyard are visitors from outside the country? Why is this?"
Gu Weixin took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "The so-called cultivation sects are all based on the human world. The bigger the country, the larger the population base, and the more natural talents. Therefore, what every sect and national power has to do is to guard its own.
The school does not allow talents to drain out, and then tries its best to search for talents in other countries. This is what the Quanzhen Sect of Shan State does, and the same goes for Anhe Taoist Sect. It is no different in the entire mainland countries."
Hou Zi nodded, "This is the right principle."
Gu Weixin picked out the tea and divided it into cups, "The forces of casual cultivators in the country of Shan have always been recruited by the Quanzhen Sect. For them, it is not a big deal. They can take assessments whenever they want to join.
The significance of this harvest lies in the other surrounding countries, such as Anhe State bordering Dafengyuan, Wei State, Huxia, Yunzhang, and even Wu State further away, etc.
In normal times, the inspection is more strict, but during the harvest period it is much more relaxed, which makes many Anhe casual cultivators eager to try and get their wish.
So if you look at the outer courtyard of Jian Mansion, less than half of them are monks from Anhe, and some from other countries. There are not many local monks from the country of An. It’s not that they don’t want to come, but they have been plowed by iron rakes year after year.
After countless times, how many fish are left that have slipped through the net?
This is true for Da Feng, and it is also true for other continents in Shan. The only difference lies in which country they come from. There are even people who come from several countries and travel thousands of miles to invest. Hey, the Quanzhen Sect still has some influence on the magic sect in mainland China.
force."
Hou Tzu frowned, "So there are various factions? The local faction of Shan country? The peace faction? The Huxia faction?"
Gu Weixin laughed, "That's not all! The regional distinction is only the most superficial distinction, only among the middle and lower classes of the Quanzhen Sect. Beyond that, there are also differences in governance concepts, such as moderates who advocate common development, and radicals who strive for hegemony on the mainland.
Faction, a fence-sitting faction that does not rely on left or right.
There are also different cultivation philosophies, such as the Dharma Sword sect that advocates Taoism, the astrology sect that explores the stars, and the Ji Sword sect that pursues killing...
Then there are cultivating families, with interests and regional concepts mixed in. Hey, it’s hard to describe the mystery, and it’s no less impressive than the Taoist sect, which has always had serious internal strife.”
Hou Zi's eyes were opened when he heard this, "Brother Gu is so familiar with the key points. This is..."
Gu Weixin did not hide anything, and said openly: "I have friends who are also in the Quanzhen Sect, but they are not in Dafengyuan, so they know more."
"So, what sect is Brother Gu now?"
"As the Romans do, of course I am a peaceful person now. As for the future, I will need to practice for several years before I can determine my own direction. It is too early to talk about it now.
If Brother Hou enters Quanzhen, he will not be able to avoid these things. I wonder which sect you want to belong to?"
Hou Ting sighed, "My realm is low, and I am drifting in the wind. When Brother Gu asked me, I belong to the peace and harmony faction; when my master asked me, I belong to the respecting master faction; when I practice, I belong to the Dharma Sword lineage, and when I fight, I belong to the Extreme Sword lineage.
It's like sitting on the fence when arguing, that's about it."
Gu Weixin was amused when he heard this, "Brother Hou, you are actually of the fence-riding type!"
It was just a joke, but Gu Weixin also gave up his intention of recruiting this guy to join the gang; practitioners don't say unnecessary things, and it was obvious that Hou Zi's words meant that he didn't want to join anyone's camp yet.
If you make a joke now, there will still be room for maneuver in the future; if you reveal the true purpose, everyone will be embarrassed; of course, the most important thing is that this person is of low status and is not worth spending a lot of effort to win over. Otherwise, if you spend a little more resources, you will not be able to help him
Don't bow your head.
There are many monks from Anhe, so allocating resources depends on the person; now it's just a matter of hugging a pole first if you have dates or not, and it's best to hug them down. It doesn't matter if you can't hug them.
In any case, the conversation was still very harmonious, and at least there was a basis for future cooperation; for monks, cultivation never relies solely on one person's efforts. In this chaotic world, you must first find your own place, your own
Gen, others will think carefully before bullying you.
"When you are away from home in a foreign country, helping each other is the basis of survival; this time the Quanzhen Recruitment is a bit unusual, not only the Quanzhen Sect, but also many sects are recruiting troops, and I don't know why.
But the consequence of extreme expansion is that the good and the bad are mixed, and everything is muddy and sandy. Without the usual strict control and careful management, there will be various possibilities."
Hou Zi nodded, "I understand, if there are any obstacles that I can't overcome, I will come to see Brother Gu. Whether I want to kiss people from my hometown or not, if there is really trouble, I have to find someone from my hometown who is reliable."
The two of them put their arms around each other and parted ways. It was as if they had really reached a tacit understanding, but in fact it was just for others to see.
