Chapter 709: Knowledge and Etiquette

The incident involving Chen Xianliang itself damages the image of the Chen family.

If it spreads too widely, it will naturally not be a good thing.

Family disgrace should not be made public, and it should be kept secret if possible.

Chen Xianming continued to narrate.

"The family is getting better and better now, and it is constantly prospering. Under the seemingly bright future, there are always some shortcomings hidden."

"It really takes more effort to teach future generations to be loyal to the family and have both moral integrity and talent."

"To be honest, I am not afraid of you laughing at me. For several years, I have rarely seen the descendants of the three generations of Xian, Si, and Jin who can sacrifice their lives for the family."

"When the family was still weak in the past, we would rather save money and work hard to supplement the family, and you were willing to take the initiative to make concessions and go to guard Zhenhai Island."

"And as long as you listen If we hear that there is an opportunity to fight for, we will immediately gather around like sharks smelling blood and try our best to fight for those opportunities. "

"I still remember clearly that year, in order to fight for the Xuanyou grass."

"You fought side by side with Daoren, Daolin, Changfeng, and Qinghan, and subdued the golden-winged mantis at the risk of your life, and brought back the Xuanyou grass."

"Although I did not participate in that battle, I still remember it clearly. The development of the family today is inseparable from your efforts in that battle."

Chen Xianming recalled the past and felt quite emotional.

"After that, we followed the Xingzong's conquest and joined the battle of the Xinghai monster tide. How could we be afraid? The family was almost full of elites."

"It was also during those years of conquest that we won a lot of dividends. You were the first to enter the Zifu period..."

These past events, when mentioned alone, I don’t think there is anything shocking. At most, I sighed a few words.

But compared with the family's latest three-generation monks, the gap is immediately apparent.

It's no exaggeration.

Without these life-and-death trials, and the pressure of competing for the top due to the family's predicament.

Now the new generation of monks in the family, while enjoying the generous treatment and protection of the family, can easily grow into flowers in a greenhouse.

This arrogance, frivolity, and youthful enthusiasm are normal.

But without the struggle and enthusiasm, just wanting to rely on the family to enjoy the mentality, this approach is definitely not advisable.

If this is arrogant enough to act recklessly outside, discredit the family and ruin its reputation, it will be a shame for the family.

"Well, some of the younger generations of the new generation are now arrogant and have high expectations but low skills. This matter cannot be delayed."

"While we encourage these younger generations to go out for experience and temper their character, we must also pay attention to cultivating their personality and character, and they must never become the rat shit that ruins the pot of porridge."

Chen Qingyun said, this has a bit of the taste of learning thoughts and morals in the previous life.

The family cultivators must not be lax in this regard and must be caught.

Sects such as Xingzong, Lingbao Mountain, and Yaowang Mountain have issued various sect rules early on to restrict the behavior of disciples outside.

The birth of the sect discipline hall also came from this, which will supervise the behavior of disciples and their conduct.

"The immortal way is evergreen, remember the virtuous and think about progress, know books and observe etiquette, and be clear about the sea of ​​stars."

"When the ancestors founded the Chen family, they had already expected to encounter such a problem."

"So they listed knowing books and observing etiquette in the family tree early on, which is to remind us descendants not to ignore the character of being a person."

Chen Xianming said.

After talking with the old patriarch for a long time, Chen Qingyun was able to reach a lot of consistent ideas.

After making suggestions, the old patriarch basically understood and adopted them one by one.

Chen Xianming served as the head of the family and has been working hard for the family until today, although the family is becoming more and more prosperous and developing very impressively.

But because he had to maintain the dignity of the patriarch, he was busy with family affairs for a long time, including various trivial matters, and he had to take care of his own practice.

This made Chen Xianming very busy, and he had no time to communicate with the new generation of the family.

As time went by, he finally sat down and talked.

Only a few high-level monks in the family, such as Chen Daolin, Chen Daoren, Chen Changfeng, and Chen Qingyun, could feel the time flies by.

Chen Qingyun also had this feeling.

Now he would be like Chen Xianming. Once he had something on his mind or wanted to chat, he would only choose the familiar relatives such as the old patriarch, Chen Daolin, Chen Changfeng, and Chen Qingyan.

For the new generation of monks in the family, there was a gap between the times, and it was easy to feel unfamiliar, and it was not necessarily possible to open up.

Even Chen Qingyun now felt that he did not have much affection for the Xian generation and the younger generations after him, and he would not be as close as a family.

In terms of affection, he was far inferior to the relatives before the Xian generation.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingyun felt mixed emotions.

All things in this world are like the rise and fall of waves.

The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator and the longer he lives, the more he will gradually watch his loved ones return to the dust one by one, and experience the powerlessness brought by the ruthlessness of the great way.

Once you are deeply trapped in this kind of sadness and powerlessness, your own cultivation will be hindered and it will be difficult to concentrate on practicing.

It may even breed inner demons, which will easily lead to wasting time and making it difficult to achieve the great way of immortality.

Therefore, it is often said that if you want to achieve the Tao and become an immortal, the first thing you need to do is to forget your emotions, that is, to forget your emotions.

The forgetfulness here does not mean being free of desire and emotion.

But while having feelings, they will not be bound by them, will not be trapped by them, and will take the initiative to give up some meaningless emotions.

For the family affection, love, friendship, and master-disciple affection in the mortal world, cultivators must weigh the pros and cons, give up appropriately, in order to strengthen their own ideas and eliminate distractions.

This is also the source of the difference between immortals and mortals.

But as a human being, it is inevitable to have feelings, how can it be so easy to give up?

For cultivators of our generation, what we seek is freedom and freedom.

After a heartfelt conversation, the two looked out the window again. It was already the morning of the next day.

Chen Qingyun was just about to get up and leave, so as not to delay the old patriarch from handling family affairs.

At this time, someone came to report outside the hall, saying that a younger generation of the family claimed to want to see him.

"Who is so disrespectful? If you have anything, you should go to the elders of the clan first. Why did you come directly to me?"

Chen Xianming raised his eyebrows. The family cultivator who reported was from the Nian generation, named Chen Nianqing, and he was currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Qingyun had some impression of this junior.

This person was a fairy seedling discovered in Lingxi County. From the perspective of seniority, he was the grandson of Chen Changgu.

Seeing that the clan leader was unhappy, Chen Nianqing hurriedly said respectfully: "Clan leader, the person coming is Chen Sishan."

"Chen Sishan, I remember that he recently obeyed the family mission and went out to hone his skills. How come he found me here before completing the mission?"

Chen Nianqing shook his head and responded: "I don't know, but I heard that he has been looking for the foundation-building pill recently. I'm afraid he came here for the foundation-building pill."

When he heard that another junior came to seek the foundation-building pill, Chen Xianming nodded.

"Let him in."
