Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 2: Disciple Rules

In the Octagonal Pavilion by Xiaoming Lake, Tang Jie wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine, I just tried to experience the ancient war, but I was hit by the Taoist meaning on the stele and suffered some injuries. I really didn't expect this Heavenly Dao. The stele has lasted for thousands of years, but the Taoism is still so strong."

Wei Tianchong looked at him with some disbelief: "What you just said about the Law of Heaven and Falun, didn't you realize enlightenment in that moment?"

Tang Jie laughed loudly: "Enlightenment, enlightenment, that means you have to realize something to be called enlightenment. Master, do you think I have realized something?"

Wei Tianchong rubbed his head: "So far, I haven't seen any changes in you. Besides, in the world of immortality, there are magic, magic, magical powers, and Tao. Since Tao is the highest realm, you should naturally climb up the stairs step by step. There is no way to enter the path of immortality before cultivating it."

He is absolutely right in what he said. The Tao cannot be understood by simply being enlightened. If you don’t have the corresponding strength to realize the Tao, it is like a primary school student watching international current affairs. He can understand every word, but he just doesn’t understand the meaning. meaning.

But he didn’t know that Tang Jie did not realize Tao but observed Tao.

The way of heaven is impermanent and cannot be seen by mortals. Only by chance can one glimpse the movement of the wheel of heaven.

If enlightenment means reading and literacy, then contemplating the Tao is the beginning. Only by contemplating the Tao first can we further understand the Tao, and the entry itself is unconditional.

Tang Jie inadvertently glimpsed the movement of Heaven's Way. Although it was just a glimpse, the boundless vastness left a deep impression on his heart. At that moment, he at least knew what Heaven's Way was and had an understanding of Heaven's Way. The most intuitive impression, and this impression cannot be described or imagined by a heavenly law wheel at all. It is a feeling hidden deep in the body and mind, which can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, and cannot be explained in words!

With this heavy feeling, when he reaches the realm and the opportunity comes, it will be the time for him to enlighten.

Although he still doesn't know what use this is to him, he knows that this is probably an adventure and is related to the Immortal Avenue.

It's a pity that when he looked at the Dao Monument again, the thrilling feeling before was gone. He knew that the opportunity was only once, and it would be gone after it passed, and he felt regretful in his heart.

"But speaking of which, how do you know this?" Fortunately, Wei Tianchong took the initiative to change the topic at this time.

Tang Jie was waiting for his words. When Wei Tianchong asked, he smiled and said, "I have read too many books, so I will naturally understand."

As he spoke, he shook the book in his hand.

Wei Tianchong could see clearly that what Tang Jie was holding was a "Disciple Rules" and he couldn't help but shake his head: "What's so good about this thing?"

Tang Jie replied: "Master, I misunderstood. This book in my hand is not an ordinary discipleship rule, but the discipleship rule of Xiyue Academy. What is written in it are all the rules that you must abide by after entering the academy. I specially asked my wife to send this to the young master a few days ago."

"My mother helped you buy books?" Wei Tianchong was very curious when he heard this: "Don't you already know these things when you go to the academy? Why go all the way to buy them? Or should you ask my brother to buy them for you? ”

"You must know the rules before you break them. Young Master, please don't underestimate the rules of Xiyue Academy. This is very important. Although there are not many rules, each one needs to be understood one by one. It seems that only There are more than a thousand words, but I need to read every word carefully and think about it repeatedly. These days, I have read every rule in it hundreds of times, and it can be said that I know it by heart. If I wait until I enter the academy to understand it, I will not have time. Let me study this way."

"Why is this?" Shi Meng also didn't understand this time. Isn't it just some college rules? Why pay so much attention to it.

Tang Jie smiled, sat down on the bench at the corner of the pavilion, and looked at Xiaoming Lake: "Young master, you know that every year, freshmen will get one hundred points after entering the academy. These one hundred points are Our future life in the academy will be based on our performance. If we make a slight mistake, the immortal masters of the academy will deduct points based on our performance. Once one hundred points are deducted, you will be expelled from the academy immediately, even if you are an unparalleled genius. There will be no exception after nine turns in the door. Therefore, you can't sit back and relax after entering the academy. If you don't do well and are kicked out, your place will be wasted. So, young master, do you think this rule is important? "

Wei Tianchong was shocked when he heard this: "No one has ever told me about this. How did you know about it?"

"I only found out after reading the disciple rules."

"Then you found out later, why did you think of going to see Disciple Gui again?" Wei Tianchong was puzzled. This causal relationship makes no sense.

Tang Jie has replied: "Because even if there is no 100-point rule, I will still pay attention to the rules of Xiyue Academy! It's not okay to go to a new place and not understand the rules there. Just like when we are by your side Just like being a servant, don’t you have to understand the rules in order to do things well?”

Hearing this, Wei Tian rushed over and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't understand this, but I just heard that the world of immortality is cruel, the weak eat the strong, you fight for it, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss , so rules and so on are not important."

Tang Jie laughed loudly, thinking that of course this is a world where the jungle of the jungle is strong. Do you think that by tying me to a tree and whipping me with a whip, it’s not the jungle of the jungle? Isn't Shi Mo's death not a result of the law of the jungle? Do you have to shout "those who rebel against me will perish" to be called the law of the jungle?

But he could only say: "The world of immortality is indeed a place of cruel competition. It is common for people to fight each other to the death, but it also depends on the time and the situation. In fact, there are two kinds of cruel competition, One is the struggle in troubled times. At that time, it can be said that everything was king with naked fists. Looking at the past, it was all killing. Then whoever has the bigger fist will be the king. The other is the struggle to govern the world, cruel. It's the essence, but it's not superficial. On the surface, everyone is polite."

Speaking of this, Tang Jie said with a smile: "Today's Qixia world, the six major sects are in charge of the world, and it is an era of great governance. And in this era of great governance, no matter how cruel you are, you must have a warm heart Even if it means killing people, they will just say a word and send you on your way. That is called gentleness. So the law of the jungle and the big fist are rules. Although such things exist, they only flow in secret after all. It is probably those small sects who will control them. To be worshiped as Guigao and to be held in public is absolutely not allowed in the Xiyue Sect."

"Then why do small sects worship Guigao, but the Xiyue sect absolutely does not allow it?"

"Because the Moon Washing Faction is the ruling party... Well, it is the faction in power. For the dominant party, rules are their basic means of governing the world. Without rules, they cannot govern. Only those who are in the opposition... Those powerless small sects will think about subverting the rules all day long, because for them, only subversion can have a chance. Therefore, it is not without reason that the big sect is conservative and the small sect is aggressive. Of course, this What kind of progress the enterprising will lead to is another matter. Anyway, as long as it is different from the original sect. The big sect emphasizes rules, and the small sect will naturally insist on the law of the jungle, and the winner is king. If the big sect emphasizes the law of the jungle, then those small sects Most factions must put people first and govern the world by economics. If you want to subvert the political power, you must subvert your thoughts. Only when your thoughts change, will the direction of your fist change... No matter what era or world, this will not change." Tang Jie said leisurely.

"As for the Xiyue Sect, they are at the top of the literary world, enact their own laws, and govern the world from afar. If they violate the rules they set, they will touch the interests of the Xiyue Sect, offend the authority of the Xiyue Sect, and challenge them. Because of the status of the Xiyue Sect, the Xiyue Sect values ​​​​geniuses, but more importantly, rules. If the young master thinks that he can ignore the rules of the academy as long as he is talented, he is totally wrong. How many geniuses are just because they think too highly of themselves, I was kicked out of Xiyue Academy for ignoring the rules."

Speaking of this, Tang Jie smiled: "By the way, in Xiyue College, there is a rule that if you fail to arrive at the college on time when the semester starts, ten points will be deducted for being late for one day. If you are late for ten days... Hehe, then Just go back to where you came from, no one can intercede!"

Wei Tianchong's expression changed, and he finally understood why Tang Jie told him this.

If he was late for many days because of his travels and was expelled before entering the college, and his mother knew that her son was the first person to be expelled from the college this year, she would probably beat him to death!

When Wei Tianchong thought of this, his scalp became numb.

He scratched his head and said: "Okay, I understand. After today, let's just hurry up and I won't be late."

"The young master is still sensible." Tang Jie replied with a smile.

Wei Tianchong said angrily: "What do you mean, as long as my points are not deducted, I can become a disciple of Xiyue?"

Tang Jie still shook his head: "Xiyue Academy enrolls 1,500 students every year, but does the young master know how many can actually join the Xiyue Sect?"

"...a thousand?"

Tang Jie shook his head.

"Then five hundred?"

Tang Jie still shook his head.

"There won't be only a hundred, right?" Wei Tianchong was already disappointed.

Only 100 people out of 1,500 can become an initiate, which is a 1 in 15 chance, which is too small.

Tang Jie chuckled: "Ten."

"Huh?" Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng's jaws almost dropped.

Tang Jie added another sentence: "Ten at most, and it's better to have less than too much!"

"How come there are so few?" Wei Tianchong was shocked.

Tang Jie replied: "The students of Xiyue Academy are divided into five categories. The worst category is those students who were expelled from the academy because all their points were deducted. Because they were expelled from the academy, these people are outside They are not allowed to be called students of Xiyue Academy, so they can only be called abandoned students, which are students who have been abandoned. There are about one to two hundred such people every year, so the rules of Xiyue Academy are not so easy to abide by. ."

"The second category is students who have retained their points but failed to enter the transcendental realm. They are called donors because they are equivalent to taking some money to visit the college and then leaving, so they are jokingly called donations. . There are many such people who are unable to enter the transcendent realm due to their qualifications, and there are hundreds of them every year. In other words, half of them just donate or abandon their lives."

"The third category is naturally those who retain their points and successfully enter the transcendent realm. At this time, the Xiyue Sect recognizes them as Xiyue Academy students, but they are only students, just like teachers offering courses, they are just simply teaching. , there is no direct master-student relationship. In addition, those of us who have just entered are also called students. As for whether we will be promoted, demoted, or retained in the future, it depends on each person's own development."

"The fourth category is to select outstanding people from the third category. They are elites. The Xiyue Sect recognizes their status and can enter the outer sect, so they are called sect disciples or eugenics. There are one person of this type every year About a hundred, if you consider him a disciple of Xiyue, then you can just barely."

"The fifth category is to select the best ten people from the disciples to enter Xiyue Sect and teach them the supreme immortal method. Only then can they be called true disciples of Xiyue, and they are the inner sect."

"In addition to these five categories, there is actually another category, which is to gather all the inner disciples within a certain number of years and select them again. The number of such people is uncertain, and the time is also uncertain. The one who is selected is one out of ten thousand. Elites who have the hope of becoming the true disciples of the Purple Mansion True Monarch or even the Immortal Power. These are called true disciples, but they are not among the five categories."

"Abandoned life, donated life, student, disciple, disciple, these are the five major categories of students of Xiyue Academy. From now on, when you meet someone, you will know who they are by hearing who they call themselves. Of course, don't expect to abandon life or donate life. They will call themselves, and different levels mean different treatments. If the young master wants to be successful in the future, he must not be careless."

Wei Tianchong was stunned when he heard this: "Why does this sound more difficult and complicated than choosing a servant for my family?"

So you also know that choosing servants is not easy for your family?

Tang Jie cursed, but still had a smile on his face: "That's natural. Xiyue Academy is not a place where you can stay at ease after entering. Many people think that entering the academy means entering the immortal sect. That's Big mistake, there is still a long road ahead."

Entering the academy is just the qualification to enter the Immortal Sect.

If the true disciple is the champion and the disciple is the top ten, then becoming a disciple is the top forty, becoming a student is the semi-finals, donating students is the preliminary round, and admission is just an audition.

As for giving up, that is called violating the rules midway and depriving the right to compete.

The road to immortality is long and the gate of immortality is difficult to open. Just to enter the gate of immortality, you have to go through five levels and kill six generals. Does it mean that you can enter by just entering?

When he thought that there were only ten disciples among the fifteen hundred students, Wei Tianchong also shuddered, shook his head and said: "I think there is no hope for me, so I might as well work hard to become a disciple. But there are only a few disciples. One hundred people, you think if I reach the stage of being a student, my mother won’t scold me, right? At least a student can be considered recognized by the college."

His current ambition is to fulfill his mother's wishes, at least not to be beaten. As for whether his mother can beat him after he cultivates the fairy queen, that is something he has never thought about.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "My wife's expectations for the young master are indeed only as high as a student. If you advance as a student and start as a student, you should be able to make a difference. But..."

His unremarkable voice was drawn out for a long time, which made Wei Tianchong tremble: "But what?"

"But I made a wish to the master and his wife. If the young master is not detached from the world, Tang Jie will not be detached from the servant. If the young master is not Tianxin, Tang Jie will not be deported. A mere student is still too far away from Tianxin. It’s a bit far away!”

"What?" Wei Tian jumped up immediately, pointed at Tang Jie and shouted: "You...you...you...you want me to become your disciple?"

"Although the possibility of becoming a disciple of Tianxin is much higher, it is still not safe after all... Therefore, I want the young master to become not a disciple, but an official inner disciple, and become one of the top ten!" Tang Jie said seriously road.

Wei Tianchong rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

This guy actually made himself one of the one hundred and fifty absolute elites among the fifteen hundred people. Is he kidding?

Wei Tianchong is actually a somewhat arrogant boy, but no matter how arrogant he is ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Yumen Fourth Rank, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can become the leader of those thousands of people. At this moment, Tang Jie He was so frightened that he shouted: "Don't even think about it, I have no interest in competing for those top ten disciples."

"That's right!" Shi Meng also shouted: "I can handle my wife's job, but I can't handle your Tang Jie's job. What kind of truth is this? The young master is the young master, and you are a servant. Why do you ask for it? Will the young master become one of the top ten disciples?"

Tang Jie spread his hands: "Why are you so excited? You say it as if I want to harm the young master. Isn't this for the sake of the young master? Ten disciples, that is what many people are trying to achieve."

"You said it nicely, do you want the young master to become a disciple? You should see if you are capable of being a disciple first, right?" Shi Meng had already shouted.

These words made Wei Tianchong wake up from a dream: "That's right, that's right. Tang Jie, you should look at yourself first. Wait until you have the ability to become a disciple before you consider me. If you can become a true legend, I will You can enter the inner door!"

Tang Jie smiled and said: "I'm not sure about the true inheritance, but it's really not difficult for me to become an official inner disciple... If I want to join the Xiyue Sect, I will join as soon as I say so."

Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng looked at each other, then raised their heads and laughed together, pointing at Tang Jie and laughing.

"Just brag!" Wei Tianchong smiled: "If you say you want to join Xiyue Sect, then why are you coming to my house? Why don't you just go to Xiyue Academy? Let's go, Shi Meng, if we don't get along He's talking nonsense."

Having said that, he returned to the carriage first. Anyway, it is not fun to deduct points for being late. It is better to get on the road earlier and arrive early.

"That's right, why do you say you want to achieve success? What a boast!" Shi Meng also dropped a sentence and rushed away with Wei Tian.

Looking at Xiaoming Lake in front of him, Tang Jie showed a smile in his eyes.

He whispered to himself: "Why... just because I am called Tang Jie!"
