Lin Feng had already expected that someone would come to his sect to lurk, but the Xuanmen Tianzong's real fame and attention in the world began with the opening ceremony of the Shazhou Mountains, and at the recent Huanghai Dharma Conference, the momentum became even higher.
When the first time I opened the mountain to recruit disciples, someone started adding sand. Although there was only one person, some people were really hardworking.
However, for Lin Feng, if the opponent came to surrender without withdrawing from the original sect, he could see through it at a glance because of the system.
Although Lin Feng could not accept him as his direct disciple, he could worship Xiao Yan and the others as his disciples, so Lin Feng was happy to keep him on the mountain. He might be of great use and gain some unexpected gains in the future.
What really makes Lin Feng more wary is that if someone is kicked out of his own school first and then ordered to come and lurk, it will be difficult to detect.
However, such people will definitely not be able to practice the Taoism of the original sect, nor will they be able to gain any benefits from the original sect. Their own loyalty will need to face a great test, and they may even turn against the Xuanmen Tianzong.
After all, people are all seeking profit. If you have a sect that treats you well and has a promising future, why should you still be loyal to the original target?
Lin Feng firmly believes that as long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down...
Of course, for such a person, the party that sent him to lurk will definitely have many control methods, but for Lin Feng, it gives a lot more room for maneuver, and it is not impossible to handle.
"It's actually okay now. The next time we open the mountain gate to recruit disciples, it will be the time to mix sand on a large scale." Lin Feng looked at someone among the second generation disciples and laughed: "Kid, I don't know what you are.
Who sent it?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know now. I have plenty of time to find out your details."
Lin Feng stepped out of the void in one step. He had already reached the branches of the Xuantian Treasure Tree. He did not exude any power, but everyone sitting on the leaves of the treasure tree felt as if they were looking up at the endless starry sky.
Xiao Yan and other direct disciples should first salute: "Disciples respectfully welcome my teacher."
Only then did a group of teenagers come to their senses, and together with the group of boys, they bowed down to Lin Feng: "Disciples respectfully welcome the arrival of the Master's Dharma Master!"
"No gift." Lin Feng had a calm expression on his face, and his purple clothes were fluttering. He seemed to be integrated with the Xuantian treasure tree. He sat down on the trunk of the treasure tree and started his first experience.
Open the forum to speak.
Lin Feng did not choose a too profound or mysterious Taoist explanation, but excerpted a short paragraph from the Yi Zi Bagua Taoist Collection Commentary written by Zhu Yi.
At the same time, Lin Feng did not explain Taoism to his disciples word by word, but randomly excerpted a passage from the classics just for the convenience of giving examples to facilitate everyone's understanding.
Lin Feng's lecture this time was mainly to teach everyone the correct methods and routes to understand and practice Taoism, and to point out a clear general direction for them.
As for how to understand it specifically, it depends on everyone's own understanding.
The same was true for Lin Feng's previous teachings to Xiao Yan and other direct disciples. However, after all, these second-generation disciples could not compare with Xiao Yan and others in terms of understanding and talent, so Lin Feng could not help but explain it in more detail.
But generally speaking, Lin Feng’s teaching philosophy is always to teach people to fish. It is better to teach them to fish.
Fish is the purpose, and fishing is the means. A fish can relieve hunger for a while, but it cannot relieve hunger for a long time. If you want to have fish to eat forever, you must learn how to fish.
This is the core of Lin Feng's speech. After finishing his speech, Lin Feng allowed everyone to ask questions to him, and then answered their doubts in the daily practice of Taoism. It can be confusion in the general direction, or it can be about the specific process of practicing Taoism.
difficult issues in.
This is a privilege that only direct disciples such as Xiao Yan have. Today, the second-generation disciples finally got the opportunity, so naturally they must take advantage of it.
In response to the questions raised by everyone, Lin Feng patiently answered them one by one, even the questions raised by Xiao Huanzi and other children were no exception.
After hearing this, these young people all felt enlightened, but they only thought about the problem in a straight line. Xiao Yan and other six direct disciples who were watching were all deep in thought, drawing parallels and benefiting a lot.
After listening to Lin Feng's answer to a question, Xiao Yan and others often think divergently and can extend to other things.
After all the explanations, the ones who gained the most were actually Xiao Yan and others.
Zhu Yi sighed softly and used his magic power to transmit messages to the other five brothers: "After listening to Master's explanation today, I feel that I really misled my disciples before."
Xiao Yan and the others looked at each other and laughed bitterly in unison. Xiao Yan frowned and said, "We will be asked to become disciples later. I originally thought it would not be difficult, but now it seems that I feel really guilty."
The little ones, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing all nodded, and Wang Lin frowned: "It means we still need to work harder."
Lin Feng didn't know that what he said would actually dampen the self-confidence of several direct disciples in accepting disciples.
To be fair, he himself also gained something from this lecture. Just like what he said to Xiao Yan, Xiao Bu Dian and others before, if he wants to teach others Taoism, he must first understand Taoism thoroughly.
The process of teaching disciples is also another insight into Taoism for the master himself.
Moreover, teaching these young people who are still in the Qi training stage is different from teaching Xiao Yan and the other six. These young people with relatively low cultivation levels often ask some inexplicable and seemingly whimsical questions.
To answer these questions, Lin Feng needs to have a thorough understanding of his own Taoism, and occasionally, he will get some inspiration from these fantastic ideas, some of which are useful, some of which are useless, but there are also some gains.
Just like an ignorant child, sometimes an innocent word can inspire an adult.
All dharmas return to their true nature and the great truth is as simple as possible. Many principles are actually common to each other.
When the speech ended, everyone fell silent, bowed their heads in deep thought, and quietly thought about every sentence and word that Lin Feng had said before.
The more you think about it carefully, the more you feel the aftertaste is endless. The higher the listener's cultivation level, the more he can understand the true meaning and the greater the harvest. At the same time, he also feels more and more that Lin Feng at this moment is like the sky and the sea, vast and unfathomable.
Lin Feng looked at the people in front of him calmly, smiled slightly, and did not rush them, but waited patiently.
After a long time, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and Xiao Doan stood up first. Without saying a word, they all bowed to Lin Feng.
After a while, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing's eyes became clear again, and they stood up together and saluted Lin Feng.
Later, the second-generation disciples and boys from the mountain gate stood up one after another, all bowing to Lin Feng with joy on their faces.
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they would not be polite. After the last person came back from his thoughts, Lin Feng said with a smile: "In addition to opening the forum today, I also want to test you."
He looked at Zhu Yi, smiled and nodded.
Zhu Yi bowed, then turned to everyone and said loudly: "Today, all disciples who can pass the test of the ancestor will be qualified for promotion. Six of our senior brothers will be accepted as disciples and accept the teachings from us."
"In addition, you can get the qualification to enter the Sutra Library and various other rewards."
Zhu Yi looked at the slightly commotion crowd and saw that they could still maintain order and calmness. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Those who have not passed the examination do not need to be discouraged. I will still teach you Taoism at regular intervals in the future.
And there will still be opportunities to be promoted to disciples in the future, as long as you practice seriously."
He said to Xiao Huanzi and other boys: "If you want to become a disciple, you can also take the examination of the ancestor. If you can pass, you will also have the opportunity to become our disciples. Even if you fail, if you perform well, you can become
Being a formal disciple is entirely up to your own free will."
Xiao Huanzi and others are still just children. Although they usually learn some Qi training methods from Kang Nanhua, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, most of them are still absent-minded. Only a few of them have expressions of eagerness to try on their faces.
"I have a question." At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly asked: "Even if you pass the examination, can you only become the disciple of the elders? If you perform well, can you become the direct disciple of the ancestor?"
Everyone looked at the speaker with shocked expressions. He was a thin, dark boy with an unruly expression. He was none other than Ying Luoza.
The little boy and others looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Yan said happily: "I like this thorn."
Zhu Yi glanced at Ying Luoza and said nothing. He turned to look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng said calmly: "If you are good enough, why not?"
Yingluoza nodded with satisfaction, his eyes shining with excitement.
What caught Lin Feng's attention was that in addition to Yingluoza, who was the leader, Xu Yunsheng and Li Xingfei also had their eyes flashing in the crowd, and Liu Xiafeng, who had always been lazy and didn't care about anything, also became serious.
Geniuses are always very confident in themselves, especially when they see that Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing, who started with them, are so high at the moment and may even become their masters, these young talents are even more full of fighting spirit.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, and with a flick of his finger, a line of purple energy condensed in the air, turning into a huge purple palace. The palace was next to the branches of the Xuantian Treasure Tree, and the door was facing everyone.
"My test is very simple. What is in front of you now is a maze. The inside of the maze extends in all directions and is full of forks, but there is only one entrance and one exit." Lin Feng said lightly: "If you are given one day, whoever can get out of the maze will
, even if you pass the assessment.”
Looking at the huge purple palace in front of them, all the young people were in a daze. They never thought that Lin Feng's assessment would look so childish.
Even Xiao Yan and others were a little surprised, but after they carefully sensed the Purple Qi Maze, a look of surprise appeared on their faces. Xiao Yan and the little one even laughed, quite gloating about their misfortune.
Yang Qing sighed and kindly reminded everyone: "Cheer up, there are many things to test in this maze. If you are not careful, you will not be able to get out of it in a lifetime, let alone a day."
