Chapter 74 Complete Discipline
Qi Daofei ran into the dojo and closed the door.
Lin Luo opened the door again.
The warm midday sunlight shone into the house from behind him. Lin Luo closed the door and the dojo instantly became darker.
The lights were on in the dojo, so it wasn't too dark. The brightness was enough for everyone inside to see his face clearly.
Lin Luo walked up to the podium.
There didn't seem to be any big problems, except that the disciples from Buxu Sect looked a little unhappy, while everyone else seemed to be in high spirits.
After class, everyone was full of energy.
Today even Cen Xi was unusually energetic and did not slack off in get out of class. When it was time to end the get out of class, he left. After class, they did not leave the dojo, but gathered in the dojo to discuss the newly released "Lingxiao Commandments" in the main forum section.
This set of rules was copied by Jiaoxi. Almost all sects were using this set. She took a look at it and felt that there was no big problem. She just changed some rewards and punishments and started using it.
It is impossible to write the precepts yourself. If you write them yourself, you can't imagine that there is anyone in the world who can do those things.
Many disciples on Jianfeng read these precepts and felt that these things would never happen.
"How could someone be so bored as to go fishing in the pond on the main peak?"
"Why is fishing in a pond considered a violation of the precepts?"
Two voices rang out simultaneously in the dojo.
Zhen Yu looked at Long Qiutian in disbelief.
I didn't expect him to be this kind of dragon.
Long Qiutian looked back angrily.
"It's completely unreasonable. I just caught a few ordinary fish without any intelligence. Why should I pay 500 mid-grade spirit stones for it?"
Zhen Yu didn't understand.
"What's unreasonable about that? Going to a pond to fish is abnormal. I always just catch fish."
Cen Xi also saw something even more unacceptable.
"What? Not practicing seriously also violates the precepts?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples in the temple began to read this precept.
"It seems to be okay. There is no punishment if you violate it."
"This precept also exists in the Buxu Sect. Buxu Sect cultivators are not very focused, so you can just take a look at it casually."
"This rule is too scary. I'd better not take the class seriously tomorrow. I'll take it easy."
Lin Luoqing coughed, the sound was so loud that it spread throughout the entire dojo.
There's no punishment for not practicing seriously? Do you think he's just a teacher?
Everyone was quiet for a moment and started talking about other things.
Lin Luo waited for a long time, but no one came to talk to him about the precepts, so he left the Taoist temple and planned to go talk to Xie Ding.
Xie Dinggang was mad at him and didn't want to chat with him, so he went to find Rong You.
He didn't feel comfortable looking for Jiaoxi, mainly because he didn't have any idea about it. He just saw his disciples talking about it and wanted to find someone to chat with.
Lin Luo met a group of people who looked at him with green eyes in Li Tian Palace. After thinking about it, he decided to leave.
Finally he went to find Yi Qianqiu.
Yi Qianqiu was packing his luggage to go on a business trip.
She was very happy to see Lin Luo, and Lin Luo also found her attitude a little strange. He thought Yi Qianqiu might still be expecting him to advertise for her.
He couldn't let Yi Qianqiu have such expectations of him anymore.
But saying it directly would make people feel weird.
Lin Luo thought about how he could tactfully express how much he disliked this matter.
He seemed to be unable to think of any solution, so he might as well just say it directly.
Lin Luo said directly: "Don't look at me like that. I won't agree to have my face printed on aphrodisiacs."
"Don't worry, I've canceled the plan."
Facing Lin Luo's frank words, Yi Qianqiu still smiled.
Lin Luo felt something was wrong.
Yi Qianqiu is not like this usually. He always feels that behind Yi Qianqiu's particularly kind smile there may be some sinister and shocking secret hidden.
But it doesn't matter. Now that Lingxiao Sect has the "Lingxiao Commandments", it should be able to impose certain restrictions on her.
"Have you read the 'Lingxiao Commandments' released on the main forum today?"
Yi Qianqiu smiled and nodded: "I have seen it."
"What do you think of its contents?"
"With the wealth I have, these rules cannot restrict me at all."
Is this something I can say directly to him?
Lin Luo felt that it was no longer possible to chat on this day.
Yi Qianqiu packed his luggage and said goodbye to Lin Luo.
Lin Luo found Jiao Xi.
He felt that this commandment was unreasonable.
"Why can Yi Qianqiu be exempted from all punishments just because he's rich?"
"Stop, don't get excited."
Jiao Xi pulled out a stack of information from the Tianji Pavilion from the drawer. "You can see for yourself that Yi Qianqiu is very honest. She would never do anything that violates the rules. She would even take the initiative to catch those who commit crimes. We don't need to be on guard against her."
Lin Luo took the stack of information and flipped through it, and found that Yi Qianqiu was indeed a righteous partner in his actions.
Lin Luo was no longer excited.
He calmly thought that this commandment was still unreasonable.
"Even if Yi Qianqiu won't violate the precepts, objectively these precepts do have loopholes, and some adjustments should still be made."
"I thought so too, but it's hard to change," Jiao Xi put the information back in the drawer. "The price paid to those truly capable of committing serious mistakes could easily cost the lives of those who didn't mean to or were wrongly accused. Ling Xiao Sect's current reputation is quite good, and if there are mistakes, they're mostly unintentional. The punishment can only be reduced, not increased. It's best not to use time or life as punishment when money is an option."
After hearing this, Lin Luo also felt that this was indeed too difficult to modify.
The main reason is that Jianfeng is very poor.
He is not poor, and many of Jianfeng's disciples are not poor either, but those mortals who enter Jianfeng are really poor.
Most of Jianfeng's disciples live on the monthly allowance. Since practicing swordsmanship does not cost money, magic weapons, meals, talismans and pills are all distributed free of charge by the sect. Normally, Jianfeng's disciples live a pretty comfortable life. However, when encountering precepts, money becomes a big problem for Jianfeng's disciples.
If the fine is increased, imagine that they go fishing in the pond with Long Qiutian, each catching a basket of fish. Long Qiutian can pay the fine and leave leisurely, while they can only look at the fine amount, wipe away their tears, and pay out several months' monthly allowance.
Then there is the issue of the lifespan of Fu Feng’s disciples, which is a very sad issue.
If Fu Feng's disciples cannot cultivate to the perfection of their Dao heart, their life span will be no different from that of ordinary people, and they will die when the time comes. Lin Luo saw in the storybooks that many sects would punish their disciples by confining them under a cliff for a hundred years, and after a hundred years, most of Fu Feng's disciples were gone.
In the world of cultivation, it is possible to resurrect someone after killing someone. It would be very troublesome if cultivators with spiritual roots and cultivators without spiritual roots shared the same set of precepts.
Lin Luo came up with an idea: "How about setting up separate rules for each spiritual peak?"
"I've had this thought, but the information in Lingxiao Sect is too transparent. If they find out that the punishments are different, it might cause a big problem."
"That shouldn't be the case, right? I feel like everyone can see the differences."
The fact that sword cultivators are poor and talisman cultivators have short lives are almost written on their faces.
"Then let's try it."
If this incident happened in Lingxiao Sect, the outcome might be different.
Jiaoxi made major changes to the precepts and then reposted them on the forum.
The main section published general rules, and each peak section below had its own different punishments. The fines on the Jianfeng side were a little lower, and the punishment period for prison was much longer.
Lin Luo felt that the fine from Qianqiu Peak should be able to suppress Yi Qianqiu.
The disciples who came from Buxu Sect also felt that the new prison sentence should be able to suppress Lin Luo.
When Qi Daofei was pulling the kitten's head again, he saw Lin Luo coming over. He immediately took out a copy of "Lingxiao Commandments" from his sleeve.
Lin Luo walked over.
Qi Daofei began to shiver.
Qi Daofei raised the Lingxiao Discipline with trembling hands: "Lin Luo, let me remind you! No matter what bold ideas you have about me, our Lingxiao Sect already has a complete set of disciplines!"
Lin Luo stopped and looked at Qi Daofei.
Qi Daofei straightened his chest and tried hard to raise his head.
Lin Luo felt that he needed to remind Qi Daofei of his identity.
"Calling me teacher is disrespectful."
Qi Daofei subconsciously straightened his chest and raised his head to salute him: "Hello, teacher!"
Lin Luo nodded.
He took the cat from Qi Daofei's other hand to prevent it from falling to the ground due to Qi Daofei's shaking.
Lin Luo walked into the dojo holding the cat and found that his disciples were still obsessed with "Lingxiao Commandments" today.
It seemed they were not yet finished discussing the precepts.
They had been discussing the precepts since the day they were issued. This craze had lasted for not just one or two days, but for several years. When Lin Luo was about to get used to it, Yi Qianqiu came back from his business talks.
Yi Qianqiu came back with a group of people.
"The square in front of the main peak is very spacious and perfect for opening a shop. I want to bring my sisters with me to open some shops. It will also give our Lingxiao Sect disciples a chance to see the world."
Jiaoxi nodded and agreed.
The next day, Yi Qianqiu and her people opened shops all over the square, and she even built a glazed tower.
Lin Luo felt that Yi Qianqiu’s fine should be increased again.
There are not many people visiting shops in the sect. The disciples of Lingxiao Sect have been studying the precepts recently, trying to understand the righteousness in the hearts of the ancient righteous monks who compiled the precepts. They are not very interested in the fancy things in the shops, and when they go down the mountain, they still only visit the old shops they used to go to.
This did not pose a problem for Yi Qianqiu. Even if she failed to make money from the monks of Lingxiao Sect, she could still make money from other sects under the banner of Lingxiao Sect. After Lingxiao Sect became famous, the focus of the righteous path had tended to shift here. Now that Yi Qianqiu had opened a shop here, the number of monks coming in and out here every day gradually increased.
Not long after it was established, this square became the center of the entire East China Sea.
