Not in the mood to travel anymore, a month later, the two returned to the dome.
Yanju went to lick her wounds, while Lou Xiaoyi wanted to stay shut. But just because he didn't want to come out didn't mean he didn't have to do what he was supposed to do. The list of people to attend the gathering at the Peacock Palace had been passed to him, including three from the inner sword. , including Guangming Yanbo, six outer swordsmen, second senior brother, third senior brother and senior sister Yannu.
The weakest among them are his two friends. Yanbo is okay, but Yanju is not in the rankings, but she is a beautiful woman, so she seems to have her own advantages?
All previous senior brothers would arrange private meetings on certain occasions. Lou Xiaoyi only arranged two, which was not excessive. This was his right.
He has more obligations!
For example, the reason why Xuanyuan set up the fictitious position of senior brother is because he wanted to spread the word about the increasingly frequent factional issues in the Sword as quietly as possible without going through official formal channels!
The factional problem is a problem in Xuanyuan. In fact, it is the same in any sect, such as Jianmai, Famai, and Taimai. In Dome, Inner Sword also has this problem, but because they have fewer people, they are more united with each other, so it is not obvious.
But like Wai Jian, with more than 20,000 foundations, there are really all kinds of people, and they can cause trouble even if nothing happens, let alone such a big faction difference.
Regional blackmail exists everywhere!
To this end, he had in-depth conversations with several other top-ranked Waijian brothers.
"Everyone has their own strengths and hobbies, and no one can do everything! Especially me!
I won't deny that I have an advantage in combat ability, but it doesn't mean that I am equally outstanding in other aspects!
For example, handling ability, coordination ability, prudence, meticulousness, selflessness, willingness to contribute, etc.
There are some shortcomings that I can't get rid of for the time being. I am of a low generation, young, and have a narrow network of connections. If I am forced to take charge of everything, it may cause chaos!
All of you here have been in your current positions for many years and are doing very well. I don’t see what needs to be changed! As long as you don’t want to change!
I will do my part, for example, on occasions when I should be there, I will support you and fight for your rights, but those that are too specific will be left to the original people, what do you think?"
The few people here are all interested in exerting their influence in management. There are also twenty ranking figures in Waijian, and most of them are not among them. And since they are among them, it means that they have this intention. Lou Xiaoyi didn't want to take away their hobby.
Of course, the most important thing is that I want to be lazy.
Human nature is very complicated, and it is even more complicated when it comes to monks. After watching it for so many years, Lou Xiaoyi could barely understand it.
Regarding the three major sects from different regions, Wailuo, Wuhuan, and Qingkong, the conflicts between them are more reflected in the low-level monks. For example, it is most obvious in the foundation building group. It is much better in Jindan. , it is estimated that Zhenren Yuanying does not consider this issue at all, let alone Zhenjun.
Even in the foundation building group, not everyone will participate in this kind of school struggle. For example, those who are promising and have achieved success, like these few here, they also have different origins, but when they are really After achieving certain achievements, you will naturally stay away from those factional disputes.
Without him, you are not a fool. No matter how powerful you are in the faction, can you create an independent structure?
Therefore, most of the disputes are between the monks at the bottom fighting for interests, tasks, resources and other immediate things, rather than ideas.
He, Lou Xiaoyi, passed this stage quickly, so his stay at the bottom of the Outer Sword was very short. Even before he started to make contact, he was already on the list. Now he no longer needs to worry about resources.
This was the circle that Ling Ruofeng had dragged him into in the first place. However, he went there only a few times and people didn't take a fancy to him. Instead, he made the list, perfectly missing out on forming cliques.
He doesn't know whether the second senior brother and the others have a circle, and he doesn't want to know. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Who doesn't have a little thought? Who doesn't have a few friends? Their current status is no longer a small foundation, they are all
Know the scale of control, no one needs to teach you this.
The foundation builders are all top mortals, and these people are the top ones among 20,000 foundation builders. Are any of them stupid?
In Lou Xiaoyi's view, the competition inside the dome may also have some kind of connivance from the upper levels. Outside, there is competition with the Dharma lineage, and internally with the internal swords and factions. The role of these people is to make this kind of competition benign.
Cycle, controlled within a certain scale!
You have solved all the internal competition, and everyone is in harmony, no matter who you are or me. We are as close as brothers. I guess the higher-ups are still not happy!
He only understands it now, but he estimates that the second senior brothers have already understood it! But you have to understand these things by yourself, others will not teach you!
So, even if he lets go, what will happen?
I'm afraid he will have to be a senior brother for a long time. Unless he becomes a golden elixir, the gap between him and other foundation builders will only widen at the speed of his progress. For the sake of peace and quiet in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, he must
Now lay the foundation!
After dealing with all this, there was not much time left. The last person he visited was Guang Yao, first for the full ceremony, and second for the final understanding of the Peacock Palace. In a sense, he was actually a careful person.
The two had a very interesting conversation. Guang Yao did not regard himself as a golden elixir, and Lou Xiaoyi only regarded him as a senior brother. The conversation between the two was more like a handover ceremony between two senior brothers.
The last thing Lou Xiaoyi asked was about the reality of the Peacock Palace. He had heard a lot of these things from his uncles, but because of the different perspectives, he still wanted to understand some things from the perspective of a disciple.
reality.
Guang Yao is very satisfied with his attitude. The so-called cultivation generation has talents who have been leading the way for decades. He will always give up this position. Fortunately, this Lou Xiaoyi knows how to advance and retreat. He is not the kind of frivolous and arrogant person who succeeds once and for all.
look like,
For swordsmen, what is the heart of the sword? It is difficult to explain clearly, because it is not unique and varies from person to person and from event to event.
If a monk is cowardly and fearful, then the sword heart he needs is to look down upon life and death and move forward indomitably.
A monk is brave and fearless, so the sword heart he needs is to know how to advance and retreat, know how to measure, and how to measure weight.
After all, the path of a monk is just a single-plank bridge. You need to move forward in constant balance. If you go left or right, you will fall off!
This new Senior Brother of the Foreign Sword has such strength after only fifty years of experience. He has accomplished something that no one in the Foreign Sword has done for tens of thousands of years. To say it is an exaggeration, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has never been done before. This way
In this state, it is easy to appear young and frivolous. The thought that I am the best in the world is a taboo!
But now it seems that this person has a very stable mentality and is a good person!
