Taoist Master Xuanhuang

After the four of them discussed privately, they turned to other topics.

Yan Lai: [Manager Sun Hui, what happened to the ghost ship before? ]

After asking, Minghui and Yan Lai were also waiting for a reply. Minghui was better off, as Sun Hui had told him briefly, but he didn't know the details.

Sun Hui: [It's nothing. Ghost Ship dislikes my prudentness, so he set aside my own decision. Overall, it's a blessing in disguise. At least our teleportation array has been repaired.]

Yan Lai: [That’s true. I thought it was a very troublesome matter, but it was fixed all at once by the adults. It is said that after the news was passed back to Qingyun Mountain, Junior Brother Yuan Tianchun took it very seriously and personally went to the nearby teleportation array to observe it.]

Jiutong: [So, what about the ghost ship? This time, its name has become famous in the world of cultivation. ]

Sun Hui: [After the master finished all this, he returned on his own. I am now out of his control. I don’t know where he is. He should have returned to Master Jin, right? ]

Sun Hui added: [As for being famous in the cultivation world, this is certain. Here’s a little gossip. My niece told me that the competition for the Xuan Master’s treasure is also very fierce. Ghost Ship’s move may be for the sake of being famous and gaining more luck and attention.]

There was a moment of silence on this topic, but it made sense if you thought about it carefully.

Don’t think that you are the only one competing. Who wouldn’t compete?
In this world, if you don’t fight, you will fall behind. How can you not fight?

Yan Lai: [Okay, let’s not talk about this. What do you think about the spiritual beasts? Everyone has heard what Manager Sun reminded us implicitly. This is a sign of dissatisfaction with us.]

Sun Hui: [This time we made a big mistake. I am also very sad to see those monks who died tragically. Since Chief Steward Sun said so, we have to make some efforts. Of course, we can also pretend that we didn’t hear it, but! ]

He continued: [However, if we ignore the reminder, the next time there is a mistake, the board will fall on you and me. I think it is not a bad thing to take a step back. We should give the spirit beasts a chance to perform. If we don't give them a chance, how can we seize their weaknesses and retreat to advance.]

Minghui: [Amitabha, I agree with the opinion of the chief steward Sun. Why not take a step back and give them a chance to perform? Not giving them a chance will firstly bring bad reputation, and secondly, they will not make mistakes. Some things will go wrong as long as they are done, but will not go wrong if they are not done. In fact, the Holy Mother of Tushan misunderstood us. How could we suppress the spirit beasts? We are doing this for their own good.]

That's what I said.

Jiutong: [Right, right, right, Master, what you said makes sense. How could we suppress them? It is all for their own good. You see, we often make mistakes and have been criticized by the Merit Hall. Alas, our intentions are good, but it’s a pity that they don’t understand.]

Minghui's statement is for their own good and caters to their needs.

The four of them agreed, we are not suppressing you, we are doing this for your own good.

Yan Lai: [They say we suppress them, but we are wronged. In my opinion, the divine cultivators have made greater progress. Have we suppressed the divine cultivators? No, I think so. So we don’t suppress the divine cultivators, so how could we suppress the spirit beasts? ]

Sun Hui: [What you brothers said is absolutely right. We have been completely wronged. Our unified stance to the outside world is just as Master said. It is for their own good and is definitely not meant to suppress them...

At the same time, when we return this time, we will discuss with the Holy Mother of Tushan. Don’t we need to give up some territory? It’s completely fine. The third battlefield will be given to them. As for how to explain it to the scattered cultivators...

Let's say that spirit beasts are also people, oh no, spirit beasts are also members of the Xuanshi sect. Now the spirit beasts have objections and say that we should suppress them, so we have to give up some places to the spirit beast army. As for the dissatisfaction of the independent cultivators, we can't do anything about it. 】

【Yeah! 】

[You are indeed wise people. This is a good idea.]

【After listening to the words of several fellow Taoists, I felt as if I had been enlightened. You are indeed people of great wisdom. 】

【…】

It's hard to imagine that this place is like a boasting group. The shameless skills of the four great masters must be stronger than their own cultivation.

What is this all for your own good?; there is no suppression?; spiritual beasts are also human beings.; it is just a way for casual cultivators to endure the hardship.

I act like a gentleman.

but……

The inspection was still going on. The four of them all restrained their emotions, and each looked like a kindly headmaster as they inspected various places.

Of course, I didn’t forget my main job, which was to clean up the mess!

They were accompanied by a photography team.

Or it’s not called photography, but a recording team. It’s the monks who use the reflections of dreams and their own strange network area network.

It is a website specially opened by Master Long for monks and only monks can log in.

In recent days, the four great masters have been personally in charge of handling the aftermath of Mengjing Yingke Liuying and Guiwang regional networks, and have compensated and comforted the monks who had suffered losses before.

Some descendants of deceased monks were selected based on merit, and those with decent talents were directly invited to join the four major sects.

Generally speaking, Sun Tong instructed them to clean up the mess, and they did a great job. No one dared to interfere, as they were watching it personally.

Besides, the monks believed that the monsters would continue to invade without appearing.

This makes them very nervous. It is the most uncomfortable thing when things don't go as they expected.

On the contrary, when an invasion occurs, even if we are attacked and suffer losses, we are not so nervous.

Therefore, the monks have been keeping a close eye on the major cities with large population concentrations recently, fearing that accidents might occur in the areas they are guarding.

A tense mood spread throughout the world of cultivation.

Waiting is a very painful thing.

There are other people who are waiting and feeling the same agony as the monks.

It was Gou Jianren. He suddenly lost contact with Qiao Liangyu in recent days and could not get in touch with him no matter what. This made him very distressed.

He couldn't understand what was going on. Considering that no fanatics had been released recently, Gou Jianren thought of a terrible thing.

"Did Qiao Liangyu meet with an accident?"

As a leader among the Gou Dao people and a cautious and careful person, he came up with such a terrible guess.

But it was soon overturned.

According to what God said, the weirdness that Qiao Liangyu controlled was very secretive, and even they could not guess it.

Such a secret place and such hidden means should not be found by Taoist Xuanhuang.

As long as they can't be found, no one can pose a threat to Qiao Liangyu.

There was no way, no way to contact him, so I could only wait anxiously, waiting for Qiao Liangyu to contact me again.

This wait lasted for half a month.

The monks felt extremely tormented, and so did Gou Jianren. As time went on, his previous guesses became clearer.

In the past half month, the four masters completed the previous aftermath work and returned to Qingyun Mountain.

What awaits the Big Four will be a bloody and violent purge.

Although the four great masters have been smiling and acting gentle for the past half month.

But as they collected more and more information, their hearts became heavier.

The speed at which people's hearts changed was beyond their expectations.

Who would have thought that in just two or three years, some places have developed into this, like local tyrants.

Fortunately, the bottom line does not involve ordinary people and is not touched deeply, or even if it does, it is very small.

I think the words of Master Xuan and the influence of the source played a crucial role.

Those ordinary people involved are often middle and lower level monks who have no prospects for advancement or are destined to fail to advance in this lifetime.

After they lose the ability to improve, they still have a long time to go, unable to defeat masters and geniuses, and can only wield their swords against the weak and bully ordinary people who are even weaker.

In summary, the lower-level monks are, the more harm they cause to ordinary people.

Those who have profound cultivation or outstanding talents do not bother to mess with ordinary people. Instead, they keep their distance and do not want to bring trouble to themselves.

If the mixed living situation of monks and ordinary people is not separated, the behavior of the lower class wielding a knife against the lower class will continue unabated.

This is actually the most difficult thing for the four great masters and others to deal with.

Those who are obsessed with evil and have ulterior motives are easier to deal with. Those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be expelled should be expelled, and those who should be confiscated should be confiscated. It is simple and clear.

It can also be a good deterrent.

These lower-level monks who are not qualified to advance are the most difficult to deal with.

The only way, the only way they could think of, was for Master Xuan to step forward and directly cut off the qualifications of this group of people to practice.

It’s very difficult. You say he can’t practice, but he can.

But how much can he achieve? It seems that he has not achieved much, and it is easy to see the end at a glance.

It is difficult to break through the four entry levels. A good breakthrough is to break through the middle entry level, but the threshold of the later stage will be the end of the practice.

There are many people like this who are qualified to practice, but their qualifications are very ordinary.

Such existence, in the opinion of the Four Great Beings, could completely stop them from practicing, and that was it.

This will prevent them from focusing their attention on other things, such as bullying ordinary people, when they are unable to make progress due to lack of qualifications.

However, nothing is absolute, not all people with ordinary qualifications are like this, but 90% of the cases involving bullying ordinary people are done by those with ordinary qualifications.

This is an unsolvable problem.

If a blanket ban is implemented, it will indeed save a lot of trouble, but it will also miss out on some miracles.

Such miracles really do exist: people with mediocre talents can rise against the odds and achieve achievements far higher than those of geniuses.

Such miracles do exist, although they are very rare.

If a proposal is made to stop those with ordinary qualifications who are destined to enter the initial or middle stages of cultivation in this life, countless such people will stand up, dissatisfied with such a decision and believing that they themselves are the miracle.

Ninety-nine percent of people feel that they have unappreciated their talents, but the reality is that there is no such thing as a place to find talent.

Anyone who dares to raise such a topic will suffer an unbearable impact, even the Big Four, and will arouse public anger.

Therefore, if the four major things cannot be said, just think about it in your heart.

What's more, even though it has been three years, it is still in the early stages, just a very short period of time. It is not the endless years that have passed since the Xuanhuang Taoism became popular throughout the world.

In the initial stage, the principle is to accept everyone who comes and make a big progress first, no matter whether the person has good or bad aptitude for cultivation.

Let’s grow bigger first. The problems can be solved with a developmental perspective.

"Our problem here is the most serious. What solutions do you have? Tell us!"

Confucian headquarters.

Yan Lai asked the senior executives.

They are the most serious in this regard because they have the largest number of people and the previous officials were also included.

On the contrary, there are fewer Taoist, Buddhist and Martial Arts Alliances. Their screening mechanism has eliminated those with ordinary qualifications, so there are very few of them.

Even if there are, they were previously Taoist priests and monks, which were not and cannot be eliminated after the integration.

However, as time goes by, when these people grow old and die, they will to a large extent eliminate disciples with ordinary qualifications, which will become a legacy problem.

It’s different for Confucianism. There are too many of them in the official armies of various places.

In some management positions, ordinary people can do better than monks because they have enough time.

Monks still need to practice and cannot devote all their energy to management.

This is the dilemma of Confucianism. Having a big business has both advantages and disadvantages.

"Master, this is not easy to handle. If there is any leak of information, people below will complain that we are killing the donkey while keeping the power. The only way is to maintain high pressure, increase the intensity of inspections, and prevent problems from happening. In short, surveillance cannot stop." Meng Qiao said.

After saying this, everyone nodded in agreement.

This is the only way at the moment.

Zeng Wu said, "Master, it seems like there are many problems, but from another perspective, it's also a good thing. These dark things have always existed, we just didn't notice them before, and now we've discovered them, which is better than not discovering them before. As long as they are discovered, there is hope for correction. Master, there's no need to worry so much. Our Confucian sect has been developing, and we use development to solve problems."

"..."

Senior executives have expressed their opinions one after another.

Confucianism is the most powerful force capable of "intense" discussions.

There is a legacy of literati, and even if their superiors are wrong, they will point it out more often than the other three.

Even after openly opposing his superiors, he will still be admired and cheered by many people inside the company, saying that he is not afraid of power and is upright.

The accused superior must admit his mistake.

Do you dare to use your superiors to suppress me?

Just wait for a group of intellectuals to rebel, which will ruin your reputation or make you despised.

They have maintained the literary spirit very well.

Real character is not the kind of "literary character" that is ridiculed.

The literati are also extraordinary, and even the gods are troubled.

It means they have the confidence and support, and they are supported by their own fists. How could they abandon the good habits of their predecessors?

Yan Lai is rarely criticized. After all, he is the head sect leader, and his followers will "put up with each other for the sake of the country."

But other senior executives were criticized more often, and the communication between the senior executives and Yan Lai was not like that between the Martial Arts Alliance, Taoism and Confucianism, where the strength of superiors and subordinates was more obvious.

This kind of "vitality" is actually the biggest contributing factor to their continued ranking as the top four.

It's almost impossible to make the wrong decision. It's a true example of teamwork.

Of course, there are also bad sides. For example, as mentioned earlier, if you dare to cut off the practice of cultivators with ordinary qualifications, you will also be criticized by those below and become unable to take care of yourself.

This is the difference between the four majors. Each of the four majors has its own difficulties and limitations, as well as its own advantages and strengths.

If Sun Hui of the Martial Arts Alliance said that he would cut off the practice of disciples with ordinary talents, at most some unrest would occur, but it could definitely be suppressed.

If Yan Lai does this, there may not be unrest, but there will be endless troubles in the future.

There will be countless Confucian monks shouting for the removal of the emperor's side, and then without causing any unrest, they will just crash into death in front of the Confucian headquarters, without making any noise or fuss, using death to express their protest.

This is not a joke, it really exists.

If you ask where the most people died in front of the four headquarters, the Confucian school would undoubtedly be the first choice.

There are always some policies and instructions that cause dissatisfaction among those below, and there are always some unknown Confucianists or officials who travel across mountains and rivers to the headquarters, without making any noise, and ask the top brass at the headquarters for an explanation.

If you don’t give it to me, I’ll die here, bang my head against the doorpost of the headquarters.

Use my death to show injustice.

Confucianism has the most such cases, more than the other three schools combined.

It’s such a magical scene that people are not even surprised by it anymore.

Although there are always people watching and laughing, there are also many people who envy such a scene.

The four major ones each have their own style, and one can only know whether the water is hot or cold after drinking it.
