Ma Qianli stared at Li Chengfeng, nodded slightly, and suddenly asked: "Since you are a descendant of the Xiyue Sect, you probably have a different understanding of the rise and fall of honor and disgrace in this world. From your perspective, where is the future of our Lingshan Sect? ?”
Li Chengfeng was stunned by these words. He smiled bitterly and said, "Master Mingjian, although my disciple is a descendant of the Xiyue Sect, it has been a hundred or two hundred years since the Xiyue Sect declined. Although my mother struggled to support me, my disciple But I feel that the day when the family will be revived is far away. As for our Lingshan Sect... Disciple Fang has only been here for two months, and the future is still unclear, so how can we dare to speculate on the future of the Lingshan Sect?"
Ma Qianli said: "There are very few disciples who have just started to reach such a point like you. Not only can you win the examination in one fell swoop, but you can also comprehend such a realm at such a young age. It's amazing!"
Li Chengfeng bowed his head humbly and said: "Disciple is just talking nonsense. The road of cultivation is easy to know but difficult to do. Anyone can give pointers on the road of cultivation. The person who may reach the end in the end will always be like the head master. It’s so rare.”
Ma Qianli smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be so humble. Among young disciples, those who have such cultivation and can see so clearly are also rare."
Li Chengfeng didn't dare to answer the conversation. He said solemnly: "The master has given me too much praise..."
Ma Qianli stared at Li Chengfeng, pointed at the clouds on the horizon, and said, "What did you see?"
Li Chengfeng looked around and saw clouds gathering on the horizon, rolling and flowing. He said, "I saw the clouds rolling and rolling, and the clouds gathering and dispersing."
Ma Qianli nodded and said: "That's right, everything in the world is like the clouds in the sky. There are times when the clouds gather together and are prosperous and brilliant, and there are times when the clouds dissipate and the silence is annihilated. Even the cultivation sect is the same. Xiyue Sect Five hundred years ago, the great cultivator Li Yue was famous all over the world, and his self-made Moon-washing Sword Technique and Moon-washing Spear Technique were unparalleled in the world. However, with his death, the world's number one sect has declined like this, which is sad and lamentable!"
Li Chengfeng vaguely felt that there was something in Ma Qianli's words. He became more cautious, lowered his hands and lowered his eyebrows, and said nothing.
After a while, Ma Qianli saw that Li Chengfeng was really calm, so he smiled slightly and said, "Do you think our Lingshan Party is very unfair to the Hidden Sword Pavilion?"
Li Chengfeng felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "Disciple, I don't dare to make any unreasonable comments."
Ma Qianli smiled slightly and said, "Then what do you think is the most important thing for the prosperity of a sect?"
Although Li Chengfeng was bold, how could he dare to discuss the development and future of a sect in front of the leader
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple, I don't know..."
Ma Qianli took a deep look at Li Chengfeng and said, "No, you know, you just don't dare to say it. There are only you and me here today. As the saying goes, the law is not taught to the six ears. Come and see, no matter what Whatever I said, I don’t blame you..."
Li Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Then the disciples are just saying what they say, but the master is just listening to it?"
Ma Qianli smiled slightly and said, "Then I am all ears."
Li Chengfeng saw that Ma Qianli was easy-going and approachable, and did not look like the leader of a sect at all, so he boldly said: "My disciples secretly believe that the rise and fall of a sect lies in fairness, justice, uprightness, and restraint and balance!"
Ma Qianli waited for a while, and when he saw that Li Chengfeng did not continue, he nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything more?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head and said, "Disciple can't remember it for the moment."
Ma Qianli said: "How do you say this is fair and just?"
Li Chengfeng said: "There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the cultivation sects, there is a huge gap between high and low status, and there is a huge gap between the noble and the lowly. They are different from each other, and even do not interact with each other, and they hate each other. This is obviously not conducive to the growth of a sect. develop."
Ma Qianli looked at Li Chengfeng with a smile and said without comment, "Go on, what does it mean to be fair and aboveboard?"
When Li Chengfeng said this, he simply let go and said: "If a sect is full of cunning, flattery, hidden rules, and secret calculations, those who have merit cannot be rewarded, and those who are virtuous cannot be rewarded." Ren, capable people cannot be admitted! Not only that, but they also have to beware of plots and frame-ups by villains! Just imagine, who can practice with peace of mind and uprightly, and who can confidently serve the sect? Moreover, as a member of a well-known and upright sect, If a person is not upright, behaves inappropriately, or thinks evilly, he will bully his fellow disciples on the mountain and harm the people at the bottom of the mountain. How does this make his fellow disciples view him, and how does this make the world view us?"
Li Chengfeng's words were obviously nothing more than pointing at Qian Shanxue's nose and swearing, and every word was heart-breaking and every word was a hidden weapon, but he still didn't finish what he said: "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct! If a sect is not well-known and has a bad reputation, then where does this sect have the confidence and credibility to speak? If it relies on force to suppress people, what is the difference between it and Jianghu gangs? Are we monks all a group of people who have practiced Kung Fu? Are you a gangster?"
This sentence was so powerful that when Li Chengfeng thought of the Tong'an murder case, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He finally said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time in front of the boss.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengfeng regretted it, his heart was pounding, he was afraid for a while, and he lowered his head and was sweating profusely.
Li Chengfeng thought to himself: "Li Chengfeng, Li Chengfeng, do you really think of yourself as a great person? The boss asked you to say it, but you really dare to say anything?"
Ma Qianli was unexpected, and still smiled lifelessly. He continued: "What does restraint and balance mean?"
Li Chengfeng really didn't dare to continue talking at this time. He was afraid of offending the leader and all his previous efforts would be in vain. He thought about it, carefully organized his words, and said: "The disciple secretly believes that the four people in Lingshan The best thing about Tiange is that there are mutual checks and balances, rather than being a dominant family, or falling into endless infighting and consumption... This will only make the loved ones suffer and the enemies happy."
Ma Qianli was noncommittal, nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Well, is there anything else?"
The more Ma Qianli behaved like this, the more confused Li Chengfeng felt. He whispered: "The disciples have finished speaking."
Ma Qianli smiled and said: "Aren't you full of grievances and complaints? That's the end of it?"
Li Chengfeng's face was full of shame: "Disciple is so rude and rude, please punish me by the master!"
Ma Qianli smiled slightly and said, "Li Chengfeng, come and take a look. Look at this mountain. How is it different from other mountains?"
After that, Ma Qianli pointed to the mountain not far away and spoke leisurely.
Li Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that the peak not far away was the Goddess Peak. He naturally knew that Ma Qianli's words were full of mysteries. He couldn't just ask him what the difference was between this mountain and other mountains.
Li Chengfeng thought for a while and said: "This mountain is not that mountain, and that mountain is also this mountain."
Ma Qianli glanced at Li Chengfeng, smiled, and said: "You are naughty, but you are not wrong. Mountains are different, but in the final analysis, it is still a mountain or a mountain, and it is still water! No matter what the world, What kind of mountain? First of all, it is a mountain. It has a shape, rocks, soil, streams, and all living things. It has all the beauty and all the decay. The darkness and decay you see in this mountain, but you think Don’t other mountains have it? No, they all have it! Life has birth and death, yang and yin, and prosperity and decay. This is an inescapable law.”
"Everything you said is right, but you didn't get to the root of it." Ma Qianli said earnestly, as if he was not talking to a new disciple whom he met for the first time, but to his close confidants.
Li Chengfeng said respectfully: "Please give me some advice, Master!"
Ma Qianli walked up to Li Chengfeng, stared at Li Chengfeng with lightning eyes, and said: "There is only one way to keep a sect flourishing: circulation!"
Li Chengfeng thought for a while and felt that it was better to pretend to be stupid, so he said: "Please ask the leader to clear up the confusion!"
Ma Qianli saw through Li Chengfeng's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't care about it. He just said: "A sect must be able to circulate up and down, and circulate left and right! Circulation up and down ensures the survival of the fittest, and circulation left and right ensures mutual exchange. But... Lingshan Sect has been around for a long time. There is no up and down circulation, let alone left and right circulation!”
After saying that, Ma Qianli took another step closer. He said word by word, "This is true not only of the Lingshan Sect, but also of the entire cultivation world and the entire Nine Heavens! Li Chengfeng, can you explain why? Jiuchongtian has not accepted a monk to become an immortal for more than a hundred years?"
Li Chengfeng's mind suddenly exploded. He finally understood why Ma Qianli wanted to see him in person, and finally understood why Ma Qianli went in such a big circle and talked to him so much before finally saying this!
He really knows his true identity! !
Li Chengfeng's heart was pounding in an instant, and his thoughts were like lightning: How should he deal with it!
