Chapter 598 Merit(2/3)
"Rules!" Mr. Xun emphasized, and then patiently explained the ink painting.
"This rule was set by my ancestors, and I can't change it..."
Mo Hua nodded, feeling it was reasonable, and he didn't realize that Mr. Xun himself was one of the "ancestors" he mentioned.
Mr. Xun continued:
"The formations taught in class are stipulated by the sect and are for you to learn for free..."
"But extracurricular formations, in theory, have to be paid."
"Especially, you just started the foundation building in the early stages of foundation building. Theoretically, the maximum should not exceed the eleven lines."
"Even if the twelve and three-patterned formation is fast, it will be taught to you next year or the school year after tomorrow."
"And, this is not mandatory either."
"It is still very difficult for ordinary foundation-building masters to learn the twelve-patterned formations even at the peak of the foundation-building stage, let alone the thirteen-patterned formations..."
Mr. Xun looked at the ink painting, "So, the 145-patterned formations you have learned are all seriously beyond the rules. I made an exception and taught you."
Mo Hua was moved and said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Xun!"
Then he was a little worried, "You...you won't settle the score later, let me pay the Lingshi..."
Although he didn't know how many spirit stones would be paid for the second-grade fourteenth and fifteenth-patterned formations.
But this kind of serious Bagua-type formation included in this sect would not be cheap...
The main reason is that he has learned a lot.
Before he knew it, Mr. Xun had already given him many sub-array maps.
The fifteenth pattern only has a rain formation, but the thirteenth pattern and fourteenth pattern have been learned a lot of ink painting.
If he wants to pursue the spirit stone, his thin family background will be "banned" in an instant.
Mo Hua frowned and felt a little worried.
Mr. Xun looked at Mo Hua silently, which made him worried for a moment, and then said:
"No need to do this. Since it was given to you by me, you can learn it with confidence and don't have to pay for any spirit stones. Moreover, the inheritance of the sect within the Taixu Sect is not bought with spirit stones."
"Don't use spirit stone?" Mo Hua was slightly stunned, "What should I use?"
Mr. Xun said: "Merits."
“Meritorious?”
Mo Hua frowned. No one told him when he entered the door...
Mr. Xun explained:
"Merit refers to the disciple's contribution to the sect, or achievements..."
"Not only Taixu Sect, but also the entire Ganxuezhou community, the four major sects, eight major sects, the twelve ranks, the hundreds of Ganxue sects, and thousands of sects below the hundreds also implement the 'merit system'..."
"This is a rule set by ancestors of Ganxuezhou, in order to reform the sects, enhance the cohesion of the sects, calm the gap between the rich and the poor of disciples, so that every disciple can have an opportunity to obtain resources for cultivation and enhance the status of the sects."
"If the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, and the disparity in identity and power will inevitably lead to envy and vanity."
"The poor are the rich's cattle and horses, and the weak are the strong and the powerful are attached to the powerful."
"In this way, the sect will naturally become chaotic, and the heart of Tao is corrupted by fame and fortune, and no one will be determined to seek Tao."
Mo Hua suddenly realized, "Therefore, when you enter, the sect will limit the spirit stones brought to the sect by their disciples. Other elixirs, spiritual weapons, and treasures will also be controlled..."
Mr. Xun nodded, "Yes, since you have joined the sect, you naturally have to rely on your own efforts."
"Children from aristocratic families also need to rely on their own abilities to earn merits and exchange them for resources to practice Taoism, so as to experience the difficulty of practicing Taoism;"
"Ordinary children from poor backgrounds can work hard to become self-reliant, and exchange their merits for the sects for the treasures that they cannot obtain outside, so as to break through the realm and strive for the great way..."
only……
Now among these eight sects, there are fewer and fewer disciples with "bad origin"...
Mr. Xun sighed slightly in his heart.
“Meritorious…”
Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can this merit be exchanged for good things?"
Mr. Xun nodded, "Better than you think..."
Mo Hua's heart thrilled, and suddenly remembered the name:
The true secret of Taixu’s divine thought transforming sword!
If you have high merits, can you change it? This sect may be hidden in Taixu Sect, an extremely powerful magical sword technique?
Mo Hua considered it, but still didn't ask Mr. Xun.
This kind of thing must be secretly...
If he told Mr. Xun, he asked himself how he knew, if he couldn't answer or could not answer well, he would easily miss the "Tianji Decision".
Moreover, in addition to this magical sword technique, can it be replaced...
Second-grade ultimate formation?
The eyes of the ink painting are slightly brighter and full of expectations.
Mr. Xun did not know the little thoughts of ink painting, so he continued to explain to ink painting:
"... Therefore, merits are extremely important to the disciples of the sect."
"The meritorious system of the sect can also enhance the disciple's centripetal force and a sense of belonging to the sect."
If you make contributions to the sect, the sect gives you rewards and helps you practice. Once you go back and forth, the relationship will be deeper...
In this world, there is no interest in the relationship, most of them are mirrors, water and moon, and they cannot withstand twists and turns.
Mr. Xun has lived for so long and naturally understands this truth.
Mo Hua remembered another thing and asked:
"Old sir, do you say that merit is also related to the status of the sect. Does this refer to the promotion of the outer and inner sects?"
Mr. Xun was a little surprised and nodded, "Yes."
He pondered for a moment and asked about the ink painting:
"Mo Hua, do you think that the sect’s ability to accept disciples is important, or is the mind and nature important?"
Mo Hua thought about it and said, "Talent and mind are important, but mind and mind are actually more important than talent."
Mr. Xun nodded, "No, it's a pity that the sect now only focuses on talent, not on the nature of his mind..."
"Although people's hearts are separated from each other, changeable and have bad hearts, they may not be able to turn from evil to good. If they have good hearts, they may also be affected and become incorrect in their minds."
"And qualifications, good is good, bad is bad, simple and clear..."
"But even so, no matter how you practice Taoism, you only have a whole body of cultivation, and it will be in vain and even easy to become a puppet of other people's divine thoughts..."
Mo Hua nodded with deep understanding.
He had seen too many monks who were born into the Daoxin demon and died at the hands of his master.
Those with a firm mind can often hold on for a while.
If you are shallow in nature, you will immediately get epilepsy if you are just glanced at by your master...
But……
Why did Mr. Xun suddenly talk about this?
Mohua was a little confused, so she asked:
"Sir, does this matter have anything to do with merit?"
Mr. Xun sighed deeply and recalled the past:
"At the beginning, the sects in Qianxuezhou did not have such meritorious systems. At that time, there were few rules and had extremely high talent for recruiting disciples."
"A top-grade or middle-grade genius will often be snatched by many sects."
"The martial arts, Taoism, spiritual energy, elixirs, heavenly and earth treasures, I will take and ask for anything, and give you whatever you have."
"But……"
"This also made these geniuses too arrogant and felt that everything was obtained based on their own ability, and they forgot the efforts and favors of the sect."
"There are many 'proud sons of heaven' who forget their ancestors, rebel, and even fall into the devil."
"The sect paid a huge price to raise a group of ungrateful wolves."
"After that, our ancestors learned from their mistakes and set the rules of 'merits'. No matter how good the talent is, if you want to obtain a true inheritance, you must make enough contributions to the sect."
"In addition to qualifications, it depends on his merits for the outer disciples."
"The disciples of the inner sect, whether ordinary disciples or true disciples, must make certain contributions to the sect before they are qualified to be promoted to elders."
"In other words, as long as you make great contributions to the sect, you can enter the inner sect and become a true disciple, or even a true elder, or even..."
