"Old Wu, you are drifting!"
Seeing the six words of Ye Zan's reply, Wu Changsheng immediately felt a chill, which went straight from the root of his tail to the Tianling Cap, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, he could still tell that Ye Zan's six words were meant as a joke, not as a harsh rebuke, otherwise he would have been scared half to death just from being scared.
After receiving this shock, Wu Changsheng suddenly woke up. Thinking back to all his words and deeds during this period, he was so ashamed that he couldn't stop sweating. After all, he is also a Nascent Soul Realm monk, so he naturally knows how much impact such a big change in his character, the so-called inner demon and mental blockage, will have on his own practice.
Moreover, what worries Wu Changsheng even more is that as the headmaster of Yuqing Sect, his every move represents the image of Yuqing Sect. So, what would he think of Yu Qingzong in the eyes of many comrades outside due to his various performances during this period.
"Your Majesty, this disciple must die!" Wu Changsheng came to his senses and quickly apologized to Ye Zan through the Thousand Miles Teleportation.
If the prosperous Yuqing Sect was discredited because of Wu Changsheng's performance, then Wu Changsheng indeed deserved death. After all, others will not think about why you have such a psychological change, they will only think that you are such a person in the Yuqing Sect.
However, since Ye Zan reminded Wu Changsheng in a joking way, he naturally did not really intend to punish the other party, so he replied: "Old Wu, don't be immortal. Since you know your problem, then think about it." There are ways to correct it, but death will not solve the problem."
In fact, in today's Yuqing Sect, 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 leader of the Yuqing Sect, had a sudden change in the status of the Yuqing Sect, and few of the other elders and disciples were able to keep their true intentions.
Taoists are also human beings, and they also have all kinds of desires. Cultivating the mind and cultivating the character does not mean that they are all saints. It is precisely because they are not saints that they need to cultivate the mind and character. Just talking about the disciples of Yuqing Sect, let alone other issues, just "vanity" is enough to make many people fall into it without knowing it.
Thinking about those disciples, many of them came from the Yuqing Sect when it was still a third-rate sect. In just a few years, these people have watched the Yuqing Sect undergo earth-shaking changes, and it is difficult for anyone to maintain a clear mind.
Back then, the Yuqing Sect was still a third-rate sect, still suffering from the pressure of the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect. Not only is the headmaster Wu Changsheng cautious, but the disciples below also have to be careful every step of the way, for fear that one of them will cause trouble for himself and the sect. To put it selfishly, no matter what trouble the sect may have, at least they know that such a sect will definitely not be able to protect them.
How about Qi Qianjun, a genius rarely seen in thousands of years, regarded by Mo Rushi, Wu Changsheng and others as the hope of the Yuqing Sect. However, after attending a forum on Taoism and being sent back as a cripple, Yuqing Zong could not get any justice for Qi Qianjun other than knocking out his teeth and swallowing it himself.
But now, the status of Yuqing Sect is different. It is considered a large sect in the entire Shenhua Domain. The disciples who have been suppressed for a long time will naturally have the same desire as the headmaster Wu Changsheng to "turn the serf into singing".
In fact, this is human nature and is not something unforgivable. The key lies in whether the problem can be discovered, and whether it can be faced and solved. To paraphrase the official saying, this is called "lack of ideological construction". The "material civilization" of Yuqingzong has caught up, but the "spiritual civilization" has failed to keep up with the pace of development.
Why did Ye Zan see this problem
It’s not because Ye Zan is a saint!
On the one hand, Ye Zan has not been suppressed for so long, and he does not have much sympathy for the feelings of the disciples of Yuqing Sect.
On the other hand, it was because Ye Zan himself had had similar experiences and suffered from similar problems.
When Ye Zan was in the world of science and technology, he suddenly became a technological upstart in the interstellar federation because of his invention of interdimensional space storage technology. During that period, there was basically not much difference in mentality between him and the current disciples of the Yuqing Sect, or in other words, the mentality of the headmaster Wu Changsheng.
However, Ye Zan had no one to remind him at that time, especially no one who convinced him. And the result is obvious. He went further and further on the road of arrogance, until he caused a disaster and fled to this monastic world in disgrace.
If the Yuqing Sect goes up and down like Ye Zan without any scruples, the final outcome may not be better than Ye Zan's.
"What the Supreme Being said is that this disciple is ashamed!" Wu Changsheng said via another message.
"Old Wu, you should be awake now, but there are probably a lot of people in the Yuqing Sect who are addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves. Next, I will repair Tongtian Peak, Old Wu, you should also pay more attention. Strengthen the ideological construction of the sect. Otherwise, it will be difficult to correct some problems when the sect moves back to Tongtian Peak. Wu Changsheng formally proposed a proposal to strengthen the ideological construction of Yuqingzong.
"Ideological construction?" Wu Changsheng received the reply. Although he was quite surprised by this statement, he felt that these four words did have profound meaning. He quickly sent a message and replied: "Disciple understands that I will definitely strengthen the sect in the future." I will never disappoint the Supreme Leader and let the efforts of the Supreme Leader and Daozu go to waste!"
"Okay, I don't worry about you doing your work. If nothing happens, just hang up." After Ye Zan replied to the message, he hung up the communication with Wu Changsheng.
As for Wu Changsheng, after ending Ye Zan's communication, he seemed to be reborn, and he felt as if his Taoist heart had made a breakthrough. Of course, he did not forget his promise to Ye Zan, and immediately went to summon the elders. At first, he did not say anything and only carefully observed everyone's performance.
When Wu Changsheng took a look, he found that not only Jin Dasheng and Luo Jinniang, but also the other elders, deacons and others were somewhat arrogant. That state was like "floating" as Ye Zan joked. Everyone's steps seemed to be light and airy when they walked, as if they were about to float into the sky if they were not careful.
"Headmaster, I don't know why we have been summoned here. How come we have been here for so long, but the headmaster has not said a word?" After waiting for a long time, Wu Changsheng did not speak, and Jin Dasheng said slightly impatiently.
"Yes, Headmaster, I still have a furnace of elixirs waiting to be taken care of. If the Headmaster has any instructions, just tell him!" Liu Qian, the elder of the Alchemy Hall, also asked.
Seeing that everyone was getting impatient with waiting, Wu Changsheng finally coughed, stood up from his seat, and said: "Elders and deacons, please read something and see if you can Find out something from it.”
After saying this, Wu Changsheng waved his hand, and a holographic projector flew out of his sleeves 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 into the air, presenting a holographic image in front of everyone.
This holographic image is not a movie about to be released. It is the image of everyone present from the time they came in to now. Everyone can find themselves in it.
"Brother Headmaster, what do you mean?" Jin Dasheng asked with a slight frown.
Wu Changsheng waved his hand, then pointed at the holographic image and said, "Junior brother, there is no need to ask more questions. Just look carefully. Look at yourself in this image and see if you can gain some insights."
Jin Dasheng was confused. Although his mentality had changed from before, he was not rude to his master, so he could only turn his head and look at the holographic image in mid-air. As for everyone else, seeing that Jin Dasheng didn't ask anything, naturally no one asked any more questions, and they all followed the leader's instructions to look at the image carefully.
At first, everyone felt confused, or with a bit of a joke, watching their own images "performing" in mid-air. But after watching it for a while, someone finally saw something was wrong. They felt that the person in the image, except for their clothes and appearance, was actually a little strange to them.
Everyone has an impression of himself in his heart, and this impression often leads to some misunderstandings. Just like, some people always feel 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 in the eyes of others, they may be just a pussy. Some people think that others are nouveau riche, and they think that they are Confucian businessmen, but in the eyes of others, they are just arty people.
It is difficult for people to truly see what they look like, especially how they look in the eyes of others. Even a mirror can only take a look at your appearance. But now, through such holographic images, everyone can see what they look like, and can also think about what they look like in the eyes of others.
Looking at the people in the image, that light and airy look as if their feet were not touching them, and that pretentious manner, some people couldn't help but start to blush. They didn't expect that at some point in time, they would actually become the person in the image. Wasn't this what they had hated before
"Everyone, you should have seen something." Seeing that the faces of many people below had changed, Wu Changsheng finally broke the calm and said.
After hearing Wu Changsheng's words, everyone below came to their senses. However, no matter whether it was people like Jin Dasheng who were close to Wu Changsheng or the deacons from various halls further down, no one dared to look in Wu Changsheng's direction.
Seeing everyone's performance, Wu Changsheng couldn't help but smile slightly, and while letting the projector play the image, he said: "Speaking of which, I summoned you all here today because of my previous exchanges with the Supreme Being and the experience I received from His Majesty. It was a wake-up call, and I realized that I almost didn’t even recognize myself.”
"Brother Headmaster, what do you mean?" When Jin Dasheng heard this, he looked at Wu Changsheng in surprise.
Wu Changsheng nodded and said: "You should have seen your own changes in this video. Although I am the leader of the Yuqing Sect, I am not much better than you. I am still too much. His wisdom is so sharp that he can see the hidden problems in us at a glance, so that we can still have the opportunity to correct them, so as not to cause catastrophe. "
"The Supreme Being is wise!" Jin Dasheng cupped his hands toward the war fortress, turned back and glanced at his own image in the air, and said with emotion. "I didn't expect that I would unknowingly become so miserable as if possessed by an evil spirit. It's really..."
"It only took a few years for Yuqing Sect to develop from a third-rate sect, a small sect that was suppressed and bullied by other sects, to such a powerful place today. So, we have gone all the way from the past In the past, people who had been poor for a long time and suddenly became rich had no time to adapt to the changes in the sect, which is why we behave like this now. And we are not the only ones who behave like this, the sect also behaves like this. I'm afraid the disciples in the school are not much different from me." Wu Changsheng continued, pointing out the fundamental reason why everyone behaved like this.
After listening to Wu Changsheng's words, everyone suddenly understood the reason why they and others had changed like this. At the same time, they heard from Wu Changsheng's words what a serious problem this matter was for the Yuqing Sect. They are like this, the disciples below are like this, and almost everyone in the entire Yuqing Sect is like this. If this is not serious, I am afraid there is nothing that can be considered serious.
"Headmaster, I wonder if your Majesty has any instructions regarding this matter?" Luo Jinniang no longer dared to look at herself in the image, and turned to Wu Changsheng to ask Ye Zan's opinion.
"The Supreme Being mentioned four words, called 'ideological construction', and I deeply agree with it." Wu Changsheng said that he heard the strange word from Ye Zan, and then explained without waiting for anyone to ask more: " Although the four words "ideological construction" may sound a bit weird, it can actually be called the cultivation of one's mind, or the cultivation of one's mind. However, this cultivation of one's mind cannot be realized by oneself alone, otherwise it will only be achieved by oneself. It will be difficult for me to see my own problems just like we did before. Therefore, I and everyone sitting here need to guide the disciples below so that they understand how to cultivate their minds."
Regarding the four words "ideological construction", Wu Changsheng understood it relatively thoroughly, and even changed it into a term that made it easier for everyone to understand. After all, this world is not without things similar to "ideological construction." For example, the "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" promoted in the secular world is, to put it bluntly, a kind of "ideological construction."
On the side of the monks, they usually educate their disciples on how to be grateful for the cultivation of the sect, how to make sacrifices for the sect, etc. However, the "ideological construction" that Yuqing Sect needs to do now is to let the disciples adapt to the changes in the sect.
