In Yanmen Quanzhen, how to recommend true disciples is an extremely complicated process, and it is not entirely determined by combat effectiveness.
Since the goal is to break the shackles of the Splendid World after the infant transformation in the future, it means that the focus is on the future, but how to focus on the future is a historical problem that has not been solved since the emergence of human beings, regardless of cultivating the world.
The face is noble? The bones are extraordinary?
There is no reason that can be relied on, and it is impossible to convince everyone. This is not only the case of Shanmen Quanzhen, but in fact it is a difficult problem to solve in all orthodox traditions. It is full of controversy, contradictions, and even shady stories. In private
exchange of benefits.
A more common approach is to first establish nine true disciples and then evaluate them every ten years; the scope of the evaluation includes potential, understanding of the Tao, characteristics of the skills, contribution to the sect, influence, combat effectiveness, etc., which almost covers the practice
all aspects of.
Among them, only combat effectiveness can be an accurate standard, because it can be solved through combat and cannot be faked; but in other aspects, it is haha.
How to calculate potential? There is no single answer to Dao Understanding. Contribution is full of subjective judgments. How can influence be measured?
But one thing is very true. Those who control the evaluation are Yingbian Daxiu of various sects, or various forces within the orthodoxy. Under such circumstances, a good background and a good network are very important.
The Yan Sect Quanzhen is relatively fair in this respect among the various Taoist traditions in mainland China. The true disciples of some Taoist traditions simply choose to become a place where selfish desires are rampant, and they have great grievances.
After more than a thousand years, the selection of true disciples has also formed its own set of things. First of all, combat effectiveness is a must, otherwise you will not be able to face the challenges of others. In any situation, there will be people with ulterior motives who will hurt others. This joke is
Big.
Therefore, the fighting power of the true disciples must be the most outstanding group in the Taoist tradition, but this group may not only have nine, so there will be endless competition, and there are also many reasons that can be controlled by humans.
For example, in the Quanzhen Sect, the nine true disciples of Tongtian Realm are indeed very powerful, but there are still some swordsmen with the same strength as them. Why can they be in this position? There are many things that you can't see.
These were things that Hou Zi could not experience when his realm was not high, but when he reached the natural realm, it was a hurdle that he could not get around.
Who would give up such an opportunity?
The last time Heaven favored him was thirty years ago. In other words, Hou Zi only had three chances to take the position. It sounded like he had a lot of chances, but in fact it was a little too late for him to take action.
Bai Qingqian held his hand, "Husband, in the history of Splendid Continent for more than a thousand years, there have been so many monks who have been favored by heaven. Even if they become infants, they have not changed anything, nor have they broken the shackles of heaven and earth. This shows that the rumors are also true.
Not necessarily credible?
I am happy to gain and lose. The competition within the church is no less difficult than the dangers outside, and is even more difficult to guard against, so there is no need to be too obsessed with it, right?"
She was really worried that Hou Zi was enjoying great fame now, partly because he had such an orthodox backer behind him. He had already made many enemies. Now if there was a life-and-death fight within the church, Hou Zi would probably end up with an almost blank background.
Not necessarily as expected.
But Fang Yazi had a completely different view, "The spirit descended from the sky, and there are those who live in it! Why should I give it to those wine sacks and rice bags? If you really pull them out, with the strength of the senior brother, you can kill them all!"
If you don’t want to let him, then kill him! If you know that killing is inappropriate, then assassinate him. I am good at this. In thirty years, I can make sure that no one dares to claim to be the true successor, unless he hides in a mouse hole every day!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Hou Zi stopped Fang Yazi's nonsense. He knew that this young man not only thought so, but also dared to do this as long as he nodded. He must give him a clear message.
"I have my own way to obtain the status of a true disciple. You don't need to worry about it. Just do your own thing and don't cause any trouble to me."
...The news from the sea came back, fermented and spread in Mirage City. At least in the three realms of Lizhi and Tongtian practice circles, his name has become a taboo existence; few people know that the quiet and low-key Gushe Xiaozhu is Very few people know about his lair and dare not disturb him.
During this period, the Dugu sisters came to visit several times after returning from the boat. Bai Qingqian was responsible for the reception, and she made an excuse that Hou Zi was not in the house because he was not in the house; it was not because he was afraid of anything, but because he did not want to do it for his own reasons. It affected the living status of the two sisters in the palace.
There is always a lot of helplessness when living under someone else's roof, and he understands that.
In the end, the sisters were reluctant to leave because of their urgent schedule, but they never saw the powerful senior brother Hou overseas again.
Two months later, an order came from Sikong Mansion in Yujing, ordering him to return to Yujing and resume his duties immediately;
Without notifying anyone, I just carefully tidied up my garden, maintained it and oiled it, and then headed back home.
Flying in the air, the sea breeze is filled with the strong smell of the sea. I was not used to it when I first came, but now I am still reluctant to leave. I don’t know when I can come back next time after leaving.
Being in the arena, you can't help yourself.
Half a month later, in Sikong Mansion in Yujing, Judge Cheng glanced at the dusty Hou Zi and was not too polite.
"You have controlled the situation in Lizhihai well. The government will mark your merits once and keep the records for future evaluation."
Sikong Mansion has its own system of recording merit, including extraordinary merit, special merit, great merit, common merit, and final merit. There are five grades in total. Of course, there is a certain element of human judgment involved in describing the specific merit, and it is not just a one-way judge. It has the final say.
Extraordinary merits require the judgment of two Sikong palace masters, and the following three merits are discussed by the Jindan monks in charge. Like his achievements on the Lizhi sea this time, it can be said that he has a good way of guarding the sea. Men Quanzhen seized the territory and overpowered the Wu clan, his rival from the same domain, and his morale was very high. Strictly speaking, it is a bit harsh to talk about a great merit, but it seems a bit reluctant to talk about a special merit, so overall, it is also It's not like I wronged him.
There are too many factors in human judgment for things like merit and credit, making it difficult to achieve absolute fairness.
It sounds good, but if it took him more than ten years to achieve a great success, it seems a bit too protracted; I can't blame him, after all, this is the reason why he has limited tasks.
Judge Cheng went straight to the point, "The reason why I hurriedly transferred you back is not because I went to the house to take out the ladder, or because I don't believe in the heroes; in fact, the current Lizhihai is not stable yet, and under normal circumstances, staying there for another three to five years would be the right thing to do.
However, the Sikong Mansion now has an urgent matter, and we can’t find the right person to handle it for a while. Your character, temperament, and methods are all of the highest level, and you are also ranked high in the Sikong Mansion, so I transferred you. I hope you don’t have too many
