0103_ stingy
The referee brother took the IOU and left in a hurry.Within two months, when Yang Xiang transferred the five contribution points to the account of the referee brother, the contract papers held by the two of them will be automatically destroyed at the same time.
A contract paper is a large sheet of paper, which can then be cut into several small sheets, and each small sheet writes down the things that different people in the same contract need to do, and there should be no contradiction between them.When the content on all the sheets of the same contract is completed, the contract will be considered complete, and the contract paper will self-destruct.
For example, in the IOU contract between the referee brother and Yang Xiang, a large contract paper was cut into two pieces, and Yang Xiang wrote:
"From now on, pay five contribution points to Cui Nuo's account within two months. Otherwise, you will need to pay Cui Nuo one more contribution point for every month of delay."
As for the referee brother, that is, Cui Nuo, the card he holds reads: "From now on, I will receive five contribution points transferred from Yang Xiang within two months. Otherwise, I will charge more for each month of delay." Yang Xiang has a contribution point."
The transfer can be completed at the monthly distribution office, and the two do not need to meet again for this.There is no need to worry about the same name, no matter how low-end the contract paper is, it also has the recognition function.
It should be said that this contract is very loose. Even if there is only a monthly income in two months, it is enough to pay off the debt, and there are still five contribution points left, allowing Yang Xiang to save food even if he has no food reserves and no foreign aid. If you live frugally, you won't starve to death.It can be seen that Yunxia Zong's tradition of respecting the old and loving the young has been well maintained.The young seedlings of Yang Xiang were cherished.
But Yang Xiang was undoubtedly bitter in his heart.Obviously he wanted to cheat others, but he cheated himself. The most painful thing is that the person who should have been cheated jumped off the ring without any sign and then went to train as usual.
How much do you even mock me? !I guess Yang Xiang must be roaring so angrily in his heart.
"It's okay, you didn't sign the contract, so the previous agreement doesn't exist." I heard Zhang Mi, one of Yang Xiang's friends, say so.
Yang Xiang kicked over and staggered the man: "This kind of trivial matter is a breach of contract, am I afraid that the demons will not come to me?"
Tsk tsk tsk, I shook my head, these young masters are quick to vent their temper.
Zhang Mi was not angry because of Yang Xiang's bad attitude, but smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, you are taking advantage of that boy Min Lun."
Yang Xiang: "Huh, it's really cheap for him. We'll see. I admit defeat this time, but I won't admit defeat for the rest of my life. This debt will be paid back sooner or later."
I thought to myself: Leaving aside Yang Xiang's stern 'I'll be back' villain's exit scene, the point is, this kind of stingy look at someone is not pleasing to the eye, so you must fix his dialogue content, shouldn't you In private?Showing your narrow-mindedness in such a large public, you...you are flattering you by saying that you let others warn you because of this, don't you feel ashamed?
0104_Introspection
The monks are used to signing a contract on many things, but in fact this does not mean that they do not trust each other, on the contrary, the function of the contract is more for introspection.
Cultivation is very about cultivating the mind. As long as there is a lump in the heart, no matter how big or small it is, it will become a stumbling block on the way to upgrade.Don't underestimate these stumbling blocks, although most of them can be dismissed indifferently, but there are always some who have an excessive sense of presence at inappropriate times, and even become demons.
If the inner demon cannot be solved in time, the whole consciousness will be confused, and then the spiritual power of the whole body will also be confused, the meridians will be dislocated, and then react on the consciousness, and finally the whole person will collapse.This process is commonly known as obsession, and it is basically irreversible. In the end, it is either dead or useless. Even if it miraculously wakes up at last, what awaits it is also either death or useless.
However, if you wake up, if you enter the branch line of 'wasting', you may re-cultivate and re-enter the path of comprehension, but it will be very, very difficult.
No one can say clearly what kind of things will develop into demons. Of course, those important and tragic things have a high probability, but sometimes there are some small things, some small things that even the parties themselves thought they had forgotten long ago, but after many years. Inexplicably appeared in the mind, lingering.
Just like some old people in the previous life, when they reminisce about their youth, they always talk about small things and trivial matters.
People's thinking is so complicated, the future that is valued now may be laughed off, and the future that is not cared about now may be green with regret.
Ordinary people repent, and they can only suffer slowly if they can't sleep or eat. If they can figure it out or solve the root cause of regret, then of course it's good. If they can't, they have to bring this regret into the coffin.
If a monk repents, if he can’t get rid of this remorse, it can basically be said that his future is hopeless, and it doesn’t matter if he is crippled, he will attack indiscriminately after he goes mad, and he will even harm others.The attack power of the madman after going mad will often skyrocket, but don't count on the strategy. The final ending is either killed or seriously injured and imprisoned.It’s okay to just die like this, if you don’t die, you will slowly wake up from the state of insanity, knowing what you did during the insanity, and you will have to face more intense remorse.
In short, the monks are very careful not to leave any knots in their hearts. If they are dissatisfied with someone, they will show it or challenge it;At the same time, monks will try to avoid things that may leave pimples.
For example, Yang Xiang's IOU.
It is a trivial matter that Yang Xiang owes Cui Nuo five contribution points. Cui Nuo himself doesn't care about five contribution points, and Yang Xiang will not deliberately owe five contribution points to his inner disciple brother.But precisely because both parties don't care much, this contract is even more indispensable, because if the two of them forget these five contribution points because they don't care, it doesn't matter now, and it doesn't matter in the next few decades or hundreds of years, but Suddenly one day, Yang Xiang was caught in a heart-training array, and was forced to ask if he had a clear conscience all his life. He said frankly, "Of course", and then remembered that a long, long time ago, he owed his senior brother five contribution points and kept forgetting to pay them back. Distracted, the defense was breached, and the mind was injured...
No one can say for sure about such an event.So be sure to guard against incipient changes.No matter how small the matter is, it must be settled neatly, cleanly, and without procrastination.
0105_ strike up a conversation
I finally made up my mind to get close to Min Lun, and the topic was already thought up:
"Why didn't you sign a contract with Yang Xiang before? The scope of the content of the agreement between the two of you is a little fuzzy. It's hard to define whether it's completed or not."
Min Lun withdrew his sword, looked at me, and said, "As long as he doesn't deliberately target me, and doesn't encourage others to deliberately target me, for me, the agreement will be fulfilled."
Me: "The content of the agreement also includes 'stop others from disturbing you'."
Min Lun shook his head: "That's okay. After I won today's game, I would have disturbed me a lot less. This can be regarded as his help to stop me. He doesn't need to do more for it."
Me: "I still think it's better to write it down in black and white, so as to avoid misunderstandings and mistakes between the two parties. Although you think that there is no problem, if there is a problem with Yang Xiang and you learn that he has suffered because of it in the future, are you sure?" Will it disturb your mind? Although the chances are very small."
Min Lun thought for a while and said, "At first, I hadn't considered this kind of situation at all, but after you said it like this, I have to think about it, otherwise there will be worries in my heart."
... Is there distaste in the tone?I thought about it, and felt that the first time I took the initiative to strike up a conversation with a suspected developable object, I got a negative favorability score.
Sure enough, Min Lun made up a contract with Yang Xiang, and during the process of making up the contract, he specifically thanked me for my timely reminder.
I felt that Yang Xiang looked at me with unkind eyes, but because he cared about my father, he forcibly suppressed the unkindness.However, as a creature like a monk, if he has mind in his heart, he will definitely vent his mind sooner or later, and he will never suppress it and let it go.
In other words, Yang Xiang will trouble me sooner or later because of this.
Sigh... My ability to make friends actively is really not brightened.
0106_ranking match
It doesn't mean that being placed in the crowd will definitely learn to blend in with the crowd, anyway, I can't do it.In her previous life, she could still have fun on the surface by talking and chatting, but in this life, if she took the high-cold route, she would be out of place at a glance.
At the end of the selection meeting, only Shi Bolin was the only student I could talk to. After living together for a year, the only one I could talk to was Shi Bolin.
Min Lun?I wanted to get close to him, and every time I took the initiative to speak, he would seriously respond to me, but the way of talking with questions and answers and only talking about the main points without nonsense is obviously not what friends should have.
Amidst my self-doubt and heartache, a year passed and some disciples from the outer sect were brought into the inner sect.This time, the selection criteria are relatively undisclosed, anyway, just announce the list.
The common understanding among the outer sect disciples is that any senior who takes a fancy to who is ready to accept as a disciple will add that person to the list of the inner sect.This understanding is not wrong, because inner disciples will definitely be assigned a master. Of course, it is a different matter to become ordinary inner disciples, registered disciples, elite disciples, and true disciples... up.
But in essence, this group of people has passed the loyalty inspection, and Yunxiazong can start to cultivate them seriously without any doubts.
In addition to this seemingly insider pointing method to enter the inner door, there is still an open, fair and just way, and that is the ranking competition.
The Yunxia Sect's ranking competition is held every ten years, one year after the selection meeting, just after the mass roll call of inner disciples.
The ranking competition is divided into three sections, the outer gate, the inner gate foundation building period, and the inner gate golden elixir period.Among them, the top rankings in the inner sect's Jianjin Dan section, usually the top ten, will get some prizes, while the outer sect section will take the top ten to twenty percent disciples to enter the inner sect in addition to prizes.
So the same freshmen who entered Yunxia Sect last year, we had two completely different moods when facing the first ranking match.
One is those like me who have already entered the inner door.Because the top few players in the internal door building blocks of the ranking competitions have always been at the peak of foundation building, so most of us newcomers can only play soy sauce with the mentality of gaining knowledge.
The other is to stay at the outer door to grab the ranking.Although the opponents they faced were all disciples who were almost unqualified to enter the inner sect in Yunxiazong's view, their cultivation bases were all in the foundation establishment stage, and most of them were in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment, with fewer in the later stage and even fewer in the peak stage. But after all, there are veterans who have entered Yunxiazong for many years, those who entered ten years ago, 20 years, 30 years, or even 50 years or 100 years ago. They are more experienced in ranking competitions, and they are more experienced in combat. It is not easy to grab the top ranking.
The Qi training period is divided into building blocks and compared together, there is no separate item.Naturally, this makes the disciples in the qi training period seem to be at a disadvantage. However, it is often easier to pass the loyalty observation during the qi training period. Most of them have entered the inner sect before the ranking competition, so there is not much pressure.
The referee brother took the IOU and left in a hurry.Within two months, when Yang Xiang transferred the five contribution points to the account of the referee brother, the contract papers held by the two of them will be automatically destroyed at the same time.
