Chapter 30: Serving as an example to others

Qi Xuansu personally wrote two files to Long Xiaobai.

A file is a real file, and it is specially for Master Donghua to see. You cannot hide it from anyone, but from your own master.

The other file is a beautified file, specially for outsiders to see, and is also used to declare the origin of the same second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

There is nothing much to say in the real file, just tell the truth, including what Qi Xuansu thought.

Another file omitted Yunmengze's adventure and arranged another adventure for Long Xiaobai - the reason why she became a pseudo-immortal at the age of seventy was because of the enlightenment of the Sixth Generation Master.

Imprisoning Long Xiaobai in Tianshui Yixin Tower was also a protective measure for the Sixth Generation Grand Master, but the Sixth Generation Grand Master later forgot about it. After all, the Sixth Generation Grand Master's ascension in advance was so sudden that no one expected it.

There is a lot of ambiguity here. The main party involved is no longer alive and cannot be verified. That is what the Wanxiang Taoist Palace said.

In this way, he is related to the Taoist sect, and it is reasonable to apply for the same origin as the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

Qi Xuansu also considered a question: Will the future Seventh Generation Grandmaster Church deny the Sixth Generation Grandmaster? Qi Xuansu finally concluded that he would not.

First of all, the first reason is that denying the great master who represents the Taoist sect means denying the Taoist sect, which will cause endless harm. Therefore, the best way is to avoid talking about it and deal with it coldly, rather than criticizing and denying it in a big way.

Some issues can be discussed in a small group at the top, but cannot be discussed in a large scale among the whole people, not even the middle and upper levels in a broad sense. That will lead to big problems.

Secondly, the Third Master also committed the crime, which cannot be separated. To liquidate the Sixth Generation Master, the fire might be drawn to the Third Master, and then the scope of involvement would be even greater. All the Taoist sects were involved.

Neither will agree. On this point, the three Taoists can reach a consensus.

In fact, one or two things can be seen from the various measures taken by the Taoist sect. Regarding the issue of criticizing the Fifth-generation Grand Master, the issue has been stopped, and the secret report of the Sixth-generation Grand Master has been completely banned, and that is done. Regarding the Sixth-generation Grand Master’s advance,

As for the issue of ascension, it is better to be rough than to be detailed. The parties concerned are silent, indicating an attitude that everything has passed, there is nothing to talk about, and there is no need to talk about it. We still need to look forward.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu concluded that he would not criticize or deny the Sixth Generation Grandmaster. Another reason is that the Sixth Generation Grandmaster basically had no confidants. He could not be said to be an emperor or a courtier.

There are steps to liquidate the remnants and eliminate the impact.

As long as the Sixth-generation Grandmaster is still receiving incense from future generations in the Patriarch's Hall, and is still a Grandmaster recognized by the Taoist sect, then applying for a second-grade Taoist priest for "Jiaolong who was enlightened by the Sixth-generation Grandmaster" will not be a buried secret.

Falling thunder.

After Qi Xuansu wrote two reports, he

The second report was given to Yan Yongzhen to polish it up. It was time to give full play to the attributes of Yan Yongzhen’s pen, and then sent it to Ziweitang in the form of a formal official letter through normal channels. The first real report was not so particular and was directly

Use the original manuscript and send it to Donghua Master through a special line.

Ziweitang still needs to study and go through the process, which will take some time.

After this matter came to an end, Qi Xuansu began to prepare lessons with all his strength, which was quite stressful.

Many of the Taoist priests who come to study for further training are older than him, and if they are not careful, they will make a joke.

Finally, on the sixth day of school, Qi Xuansu once again came to Kanyuan, which corresponds to "Laohukan", where the main teaching area is located.

At first glance, Kanyuan does not seem to be much different from ordinary academies. There are various classrooms. The Taoist priests of the Fourth Grade Wine Festival occupy the largest and best classroom, with one person and one table, and a complete set of pen and ink books. The layout is

Arrange them neatly horizontally and vertically, with a straight line from front to back, left and right, like a chessboard.

The last time Qi Xuansu came here, he sat below, but this time he wanted to stand on top.

Don't have any feelings.

After Qi Xuansu entered the classroom, all the Taoist priests in the upper palace stood up and saluted.

Qi Xuansu immediately saw Xiao Yin sitting in the first row. After all, she was too short and too small. Many of her classmates looked at least two generations older than her.

Qi Xuansu motioned for everyone to sit down and then looked around.

He noticed that besides Xiao Yin, there were two young people, less than thirty years old. He didn't know whether they were the tails of the eighth generation disciples or the ninth generation disciples - Qi Xuansu prepared lessons and prepared lessons. It was impossible to read all the students' materials.

, that is too serious.

"We are getting ready for class." Qi Xuansu had participated in many meetings and even spoke in Jinque, so he was not too nervous. "Before class officially starts, I would like to introduce myself. Maybe some people know me, and maybe some people don't."

Meet me, my name is Qi Xuansu, and I am currently the real person in charge of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. What we are going to talk about today is the moral construction of ethics and style."

"First of all, we need to clarify a concept. What is moral construction? This is a general term for a series of work. If we want to further subdivide it, it includes politics, ideology, organization, system, style, discipline, etc. What we are mainly talking about today

It’s about style and discipline.”

"Concerning this point, the Five Dynasties Great Masters had already made it clear..."

Qi Xuansu began to teach at his own pace.

Xiao Yin below feels that Lao Qi

As if he was chanting sutras, a wave of sleepiness suddenly swept over him.

As mentioned earlier, Xiao Yin always goes to bed on time every day no matter how high her cultivation level is. However, after she moved to Zhenyuan alone, she started to let herself go a little bit. Anyway, she played until very late last night and went to bed very late, so she couldn't hold on today.

.

So Xiao Yin was like a chicken pecking at rice, bit by bit, and soon she would have a close contact with the table.

Although Xiao Yin tried very hard to open his eyes, the sleepiness was too strong to resist, and Xiao Yin's will was completely defeated.

Suddenly, Xiao Yin felt that the sound of chanting sutras disappeared.

This made her sleepiness subside slightly. She shook her head and glanced around.

Then she found that the classmates around her were looking at her, some were shocked, some were gloating about her misfortune.

Xiao Yin immediately realized that something was wrong, and felt like a light on his back. He slowly turned his head like a clockwork puppet, and happened to meet Qi Xuansu's eyes.

This was the first time Xiao Yin saw Lao Qi's stern look, which reminded her of Lao Zhang.

"Stand up!" Qi Xuansu shouted softly.

Xiao Yin Yiyan stood up and could only see a head above the table.

Because the tables and chairs here are all designed for adults, Xiao Yin sits on the chair with her feet not touching the ground. She can still see her upper body by leaning on the height of the chair. When she jumps off the chair and stands on the ground, she is only smaller than the table.

A head taller.

Qi Xuansu was too lazy to say anything more and pointed to the door: "Stand outside and don't run around! Follow me to sign the mortgage room after class."

Dare to sleep in his class, it seems that Xiao Yin wants to copy the Tao Te Ching.

Xiao Yin muttered something softly and walked out.

Qi Xuansu looked around and said, "Let's continue the class."

In summary, except for Xiao Yin's episode, Qi Xuansu's lecture was quite successful.

Next is time for free discussion and questions.

At this time, someone raised a question. It was one of the two young men Qi Xuansu had noticed before.

The two people happened to be a boy and a girl, and they seemed to be a couple.

They are really a couple of gods and gods. How hateful it is to come to the palace to study together. He and Zhang Yuelu did not receive such treatment at first, and they only became classmates once when they were studying in the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

The woman among them stood up and said, "Master Qi, I have a question, I don't know whether I should answer it or not."

Qi Xuansu said: "This is a classroom, not a meeting hall. There are not so many rules and regulations. You can talk about everything."

The woman then said: "Master Qi, you just mentioned the rectification of moral conduct and style during the period of the Fifth Dynasty Grand Master. However, as far as I know, the Sixth Dynasty Grand Master also reflected on and denied the rectification of this period.

A real person even wrote a special article criticizing a series of behaviors during the Five Dynasties Grand Master period, believing that these behaviors imprisoned thoughts and hindered development."

Qi Xuansu frowned.

This is a very dangerous topic, and with so many people watching, Qi Xuansu certainly cannot talk nonsense. Fortunately, Qi Xuansu has considered this situation and read the corresponding information in advance.

So Qi Xuansu took a roundabout way and said: "I know the real person you are talking about, whose surname is Yan. During the period of the Five Dynasties Grand Master, he was criticized by the Five Dynasties Grand Master for his work style. In the end, not only did he not succeed in being promoted to the level

Zhang Daren did not even retire to the mountains and forests as an ordinary great person, but retired to the mountains and forests as an ordinary real person. He had resentment against that era, so he wrote that article later to fully deny it."

"Whether we evaluate a person or something, there is a very important premise, which is objectivity and fairness. Is Mr. Yan objective and fair? I don't think so. As a party involved, he included too many things in the article.

His personal emotions actually completely negated that era, but it was also an era when Taoism opened up its territory in an all-round way. If, as he said, they are all wrong, then how can we get a correct result?"

"My opinion is that this article is not enough. We should look at some issues dialectically, rather than black and white, this or that."

However, the woman did not give up, and was even a little unconvinced, and continued: "Even if Master Yan may not be objective and fair, the things he said are not fabricated out of thin air. I don't agree with Master Qi's direct denial of Master Yan. After all, no one can do that."

To achieve absolute objectivity and impartiality, there will always be a certain tendency. We cannot deny Yan Zhenren just because he has criticized some things. I believe that criticism must be tolerated."

The last sentence is the key and is difficult to answer. If the answer is not good, it is easy for people to say that it is forbidden speech.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "Okay, let me ask you too, can you tolerate my criticism of Master Yan?"

The woman opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Qi Xuansu said: "Freedom is not absolute, it must have boundaries. Our ancestors said it well, there is no circle without rules. You think it imprisons thoughts and hinders development, but I think it unifies thoughts and lays a solid foundation for development. So what?

This can all be discussed. Everything should always be viewed from two aspects. If there are advantages, there will be disadvantages. The key is to weigh the advantages and disadvantages and grasp the scale. This is not the content of our course today."

"Okay, that's it for today's class, get out of class is over."
