Chapter 809: Thought Construction
"Old Wu, you are floating!"
Seeing the six words in Ye Zan's reply, Wu Changsheng immediately felt a chill, from the root of his tail all the way to the top of the sky, he couldn't help shivering. Fortunately, he could still see that the words Ye Zan meant a joke, not a harsh reprimand, otherwise he would have been scared to death just by being scared.
And after being shocked by this, Wu Changsheng also woke up suddenly, recalling all his words and deeds during this period, he was ashamed and broke out in a cold sweat uncontrollably. After all, he is also a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, so he naturally knows how much such a big change in his mind, the so-called demons and obstacles, will have an impact on his own practice.
Moreover, what worries Wu Changsheng even more is that, as the head teacher of Yu Qingzong, his every move represents the image of Yu Qingzong. Then, in the eyes of many of his comrades outside, what would he think of Yu Qingzong for his various performances during this period of time.
"My lord, my disciple will die!" Wu Changsheng came back to his senses, and quickly pleaded guilty to Ye Zan through Qianli.
If it is said that Yu Qingzong, who was flourishing day by day, was discredited because of Wu Changsheng's performance, then Wu Changsheng really deserved death. After all, others will not think about why you have such a psychological change, they will only think that you, Yu Qingzong, are like this from top to bottom.
However, since Ye Zan reminded Wu Changsheng in a joking manner, he naturally didn't really intend to punish him, so he replied: "Old Wu, don't be immortal, since you know your problem, then think about it." There is a way to correct it, but death can’t solve the problem.”
In fact, in today's Yu Qingzong, not only Wu Changsheng's mentality has changed, it can be said that almost everyone from top to bottom is "floating". Wu Changsheng, as the head teacher of Yuqingzong, changed because of the sudden change of Yuqingzong's status, and few of the other elders and disciples were able to keep their hearts.
Practitioners are also human beings, and they also have human desires. Cultivating the mind and nature does not mean that they are all saints, and it is precisely because they are not saints that they need to cultivate their minds and nature. Let’s just talk about the disciples of Yu Qingzong, let’s not talk about other issues, just a “vanity” is enough to make many people fall into it without knowing it.
Think about those disciples, many of them came from when Yu Qingzong was still a third-rate sect. These people have seen the earth-shaking changes of Yu Qingzong in just a few years, and it is very difficult for anyone to maintain a clear mind.
Back then, the Yuqing Sect was still a third-rate sect, still under pressure from the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect. Not only the head teacher Wu Changsheng was cautious, but the disciples below also had to be careful every step of the way, for fear that one bad one would cause trouble for himself and the sect. To be selfish, no matter what troubles the sect may have, at least they all know that such a sect cannot protect them.
How about Qi Qianjun, a genius who is rarely seen in thousands of years, is regarded by Mo Rushi, Wu Changsheng and others as the hope of Yu Qingzong.
However, he went to a Dao Discussion Conference and was sent back as a cripple. Apart from knocking out his teeth and swallowing himself, didn't Yu Qingzong fail to seek justice for Qi Qianjun?
But now, the status of Yuqingzong is different, and it can be counted as a big sect in the entire Shenhua domain. The disciples, who had been suppressed for a long time, naturally, like the head teacher Wu Changsheng, had the desire to "turn over the serfs and sing".
In fact, this is all human nature, not something unforgivable. The key is to see if the problem can be found, and whether it can face up to it and solve it. To put it in an official sentence, this is called "lack of ideological construction." Yu Qingzong's "material civilization" has caught up today, but his "spiritual civilization" has not kept up with the pace of development.
Why did Ye Zan see this problem?
Not because Ye Zan is a saint!
On the one hand, Ye Zan has not been suppressed for so long, and he doesn't have much empathy for the feelings of those disciples of Yuqingzong.
On the other hand, it was because Ye Zan himself had a similar experience and suffered from similar problems.
Ye Zan was in the world of science and technology back then, and because of the extra-dimensional space storage technology, he suddenly became a technological upstart in the Interstellar Federation. During that period, there was basically not much difference in mentality between him and the current disciples of Yu Qingzong, or the head teacher Wu Changsheng.
However, Ye Zan hadn't been reminded at that time, especially no one who convinced him had reminded him. And the result is also obvious, he went farther and farther on the road of arrogance, until he attracted a catastrophe, and fled to this world of cultivation in disgrace.
If Yu Qingzong went up and down like Ye Zan as unscrupulously as Ye Zan, I am afraid that the final outcome may not be better than Ye Zan.
"What the majesty said is true, this disciple is ashamed!" Wu Changsheng said again in another summons.
"Old Wu, you should be sober now, but there are probably not a few people who are addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves from the top and bottom of Yuqingzong. Next, I will repair the Tongtian Peak. Old Wu, you should also use more refreshments. Strengthen the ideological construction of the sect. Otherwise, when the sect moves back to Tongtian Peak, it will be difficult to correct some problems in the face of another great change." Ye Zan also took this opportunity to ask the head teacher Wu Changsheng formally put forward a proposal on strengthening Yu Qingzong's ideological construction.
"Ideological construction?" Wu Changsheng received the reply. Although he felt quite novel about this statement, he also felt that the four words were indeed meaningful, so he quickly sent a message and replied: "Disciple understands, next disciple will definitely strengthen the sect. Do not let the Taishang down, let the efforts of the Taishang and Daozu be in vain!"
"Okay, I don't worry about your work, just hang up if you have nothing to do." After Ye Zan replied a message, he hung up the communication with Wu Changsheng.
Besides, on Wu Changsheng's side, after Ye Zan's communication ended, his whole body seemed to be reborn, and he felt as if his Dao heart had broken through. Of course, he didn't forget his promise to Ye Zan, and immediately went to recruit the elders. He didn't say anything at first, and only carefully observed everyone's performance.
When Wu Changsheng took a look, he really found that not only Jin Dasheng and Luo Jinniang, but also the other elders, deacons and others were faintly arrogant. In that state, just like Ye Zan said "floating" in a joke, everyone's footsteps seemed to be light and light when walking, as if they were about to float into the sky if they didn't pay attention.
"Teacher, I don't know why you called us here. Why did we come here for so long, but the teacher didn't say a word?" After waiting for a long time, Wu Changsheng did not speak, Jin Dasheng said impatiently.
"Yes, Master, I still have a batch of pills waiting to be taken care of. If Master has any orders, just tell them!" Elder Liu Gan of the Pill Hall also asked.
Seeing that everyone was impatient with waiting, Wu Changsheng finally cleared his cough, stood up from his seat, and said, "Elders and deacons, please take a look at a passage and see if you can See something out of it."
After saying this, Wu Changsheng waved his hand, and a holographic projector flew out from his sleeve and landed on the open space in the center of the hall. Immediately afterwards, the projection lamp was turned on on the projector, and rays of light gathered in midair, presenting a holographic image in front of everyone.
This holographic image is not a movie to be shown, but the image of everyone present from the moment they came in to the present, and everyone can find their own shadows in it.
"What's the meaning of this, Master Master?" Jin Dasheng asked with a slight frown.
Wu Changsheng waved his hand, then pointed at the holographic image, and said, "You don't need to ask too much, just look carefully, look at yourself in this image, and see if you can understand something."
Jin Dasheng was confused. Although his mentality had changed from before, he was not rude to his head teacher, so he could only turn his head to look at the holographic image in mid-air. As for the rest of the people, seeing that Jin Dasheng didn't ask any questions, naturally no one asked any more questions, and they all watched the video carefully as the head teacher instructed.
At first, everyone just felt baffled, or with a bit of a joke in mind, watching their own images in mid-air "performing" there. But after watching it for a while, someone finally saw something was wrong. They only felt that the person in the image, except for their clothes and appearance, was a little strange to him.
Everyone has an impression of themselves in their hearts, and this impression often brings some illusions. It's like, some people always think that they are well-informed, but in the eyes of others, they are just bragging. Some people always think that they are gentle and elegant, but they may be a bitch in the eyes of others. Some people think that others are nouveau riche, and that they are Confucian businessmen, but in the eyes of others, they are just arty people.
It is difficult for people to really see what they are like, especially what they look like in the eyes of others. Even a mirror is just a mirror. But now, through such a holographic image, everyone can see what they are like, and can also think about what they look like in the eyes of others.
Looking at the people in the video, that light and airy appearance, that kind of pretentiousness, some people couldn't help but start to blush. They didn't expect that at some point in time, they actually became the person in the image. Isn't this the appearance they hated before?
"Everyone, you should have noticed something." Wu Changsheng finally broke the calm and said after seeing that many people's expressions had changed among the crowd below.
Hearing Wu Changsheng's words, everyone below came back to their senses, but no matter whether it was Jin Dasheng who was close to Wu Changsheng, or the deacons of the various halls, none of them dared to look over to Wu Changsheng.
Seeing everyone's performance like this, Wu Changsheng couldn't help but smiled slightly, and while letting the projector play the video, he said: "Speaking of which, the reason why I called you here today is because I communicated with the Supreme Master before, and received a speech from the Supreme Master. Remember to take a slap in the face, only to realize that I have almost become unrecognizable."
"Brother Master, what do you mean?" Jin Dasheng looked at Wu Changsheng in surprise when he heard this.
Wu Changsheng nodded, and said: "You should have seen the changes in each of you in this video. Although I am the head teacher of the Yuqing Sect, I am not much better than you. It is still too much. Shang Hui's eyes are like torches, and he can see the hidden problems in us at a glance, so that we can still have a chance to correct them, so as not to cause a catastrophe."
"Too wise!" Jin Dasheng cupped his hands towards the war fortress, looked back at his own image in mid-air, and said with emotion. "I didn't expect that I would become so unbearable as if I was possessed by an evil spirit without knowing it. It's really..."
"It only took a few years for Yuqingzong to develop from a third-rate sect, from a small sect that was suppressed and humiliated by other sects, to its current state of strength. So much so that we have traveled all the way from the past. In the past, like people who have been poor for a long time and become rich in the secular world, they have not had time to adapt to the changes in the sect. This is why we have the behavior that makes us ashamed. And it is not just us who will behave like this, Zongmen I am afraid that the disciples in the middle school are not much different from us." Wu Changsheng continued, pointing out the fundamental reason why everyone behaved like this.
After hearing Wu Changsheng's words, everyone suddenly realized the reason why they and others had such changes. At the same time, from Wu Changsheng's words, they heard how serious this matter was for Yu Qingzong. They are like this, so are the disciples below, and almost everyone in the entire Yuqing Sect is like this. If this is not serious, I am afraid that nothing can be called serious.
"Teacher, what orders does the Empress have on this matter?" Luo Jinniang no longer dared to look at herself in the video, and instead asked Wu Changsheng for Ye Zan's opinion.
"Your Majesty mentioned four words called 'thought construction', and I deeply agree with it." Wu Changsheng said the strange words he heard from Ye Zan, and then explained without waiting for more questions from the crowd: " Although the four words of "thought construction" may sound a bit weird, they can actually be called mind cultivation, or mind cultivation. However, this cultivation of mind cannot be realized by oneself alone, otherwise it can only be realized by oneself. Like me before, it is difficult for me to see my own problems. Therefore, it is necessary for me and everyone here to guide the disciples below so that they understand how to cultivate their minds."
Wu Changsheng still understood the four words "ideological construction" quite thoroughly, and even replaced it with a term that is easier for everyone to understand. After all, the world is not without things like "ideological construction". For example, the "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" preached in the secular world is a kind of "ideological construction" to put it bluntly.
On the side of the ascetics, they usually educate the disciples on how to be grateful for the cultivation of the sect, how to make sacrifices for the sect, and so on. It's just that the "ideological construction" that Yuqingzong needs to do now is to make the disciples adapt to the changes in the sect.
