Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 145 Newcomers to the Discipline Hall 2

After the speech, he took these newcomers to visit the Discipline Hall.

There is a jade carving of Xiezhi at the entrance of the Discipline Hall. The first thing you see when you enter is the gold-plated plaque with "Xuanlu Jietang" on it. Next to it is a couplet, which probably explains the significance of the establishment of the Discipline Hall.

“Strictly observe the precepts, and face the blue sky without fear when ascending the altar. Completely change one’s ancestral heart, and offer sacrifices to the moon in a dark room without any fault.” The words were written with the help of the supreme elder. They are truly majestic, and have the style of a strong writer.

The ceiling of the hall is very high and the colors are mainly dark, giving people a feeling of solemnity and a sense of non-inhibition.

After all, these disciples had to wait until they had completed literacy training before they could start to learn these things. As the chief of the Discipline Hall, Lu Wensheng only took them on a brief tour.

It was not Lu Wensheng's job to help these disciples adapt and get their clothes. He had other things to do, so he left Tang He and the others to make the arrangements.

The Discipline Hall represents the appearance of the most senior disciples of the Wenxian Sect, and there are checks on their appearance. First, the children are asked to dress themselves, and then the senior brothers and sisters from the Discipline Hall help to tidy up.

They did not act in a condescending manner as seniors. Their behavior was friendly and natural, which made the newcomers who came to a strange environment feel more at ease.

Except for a few individual disciples, most of these freshmen were still considered outer disciples. Therefore, after these young teenagers changed into the provided clothes, they could be distinguished by the number of cloud patterns on them.

Among these people, the youngest is only eleven years old and the oldest is no more than sixteen. Some are from poor backgrounds, some are from wealthy families, and there are even some children from small cultivation families.

Although they are all outer disciples, their overall status is average, but it varies from person to person. Those with high qualifications or backgrounds can thrive in the outer sect, while those with low qualifications and no backgrounds will have a harder time.

Outer sect disciples make up the largest number of the sect’s main body, so the outer sect’s deacons and elders often have greater power and the phenomenon of embezzlement is also more serious.

Outer disciples often have more complicated tasks. Although they are not very dangerous, they are tedious and tiring. The allocation of these tasks is often in the hands of the outer sect deacons, so ordinary outer disciples dare not offend these deacons and have to try their best to please them.

In terms of learning skills, it is just like high school and elementary school, it is a communal environment. Those who can get one-on-one service all depend on their background. Generally speaking, they are introduced by some accomplished deacons, and they attend classes together. Occasionally, some elders come to teach them something.

Outer disciples generally also have a time limit, and are often assessed every ten to twenty years - when the time is up, if their strength is still average and has not reached a certain level, they will have to go down the mountain and fend for themselves.

To put it bluntly, most of the outer disciples have to fend for themselves. They don't have many resources, and the skills they receive are mediocre. Basically no one has the patience to teach them, and many of them are exploited by the deacons.

Therefore, among the outer disciples, those who can usually stand out are mostly children of aristocratic families.

The disciples from aristocratic families who came to Wenxian Sect had affiliated families with Wenxian Sect and had some background.

They don't rely too much on the resources provided by the sect. When all is said and done, there aren't many resources. They rely on the resources and inheritance of their family. If their qualifications are similar, they may be able to make it and become inner disciples, but that's basically it for their entire lives.

Of course, it is also beneficial for the children of these big families to become inner disciples. First of all, they are leaning on a big tree. After all, the families of inner disciples are definitely protected by the sect, and the status of their entire family in the sect will also be improved.

Secondly, many of these big families also came from this sect. After their children become inner disciples, they will be able to learn more and become stronger. Even if they cannot stay in the sect in the future, they can return to their families and lead the families to become even stronger.

However, the above is the situation of most sects. Although the Wenxian Sect is not much different, since the implementation of Lu Wensheng's various proposals, disciples who are truly in need have the opportunity to enjoy resources, and there is less waste of resources. The situation of outer disciples having to fend for themselves and struggling to survive has been greatly improved.

No outer sect deacon dared to openly bully the disciples. There were people in the Discipline Hall who were specifically responsible for these matters. They also had to guard against being reported by the disciples, so even if they did take any action, they were still in fear.

Without worldly constraints and suppression, some disciples even had the opportunity to shine, the atmosphere became more serious, and the sect was thriving.

However, the sect will not care about the undercurrents among these disciples as long as they don't cause any trouble. The situation is much better now, but it can be said that the bullying among disciples has not been eliminated.

But in the Discipline Hall, due to the special nature of the Discipline Hall, Lu Wensheng hoped that the gap between them would not be too deep, and it would be best if they could get along peacefully. Therefore, he emphasized that the disciples of the Discipline Hall should not be treated differently, and some class ideas must also be corrected - the Discipline Hall is not for those of them with backgrounds to show off!

"Whenever a major incident occurs, disciples of each sect must first ask the sect leader for instructions and must not make decisions on their own. Disciples must get along harmoniously and must not fight among themselves or cause trouble. Disciples must get along with other sects in a friendly manner and must not cause any sudden incidents. Disciples must not collude with outsiders or leak secrets of their own sect, especially when it comes to the devil cultivators and the devil clan. This may even raise the level of tolerance of the entire cultivation world towards you. If a disciple changes his/her sect, he/she must report his/her identity to the higher authorities, and their stay or departure will be decided by the higher authorities..."

Therefore, while reciting the sect rules, Tang He emphasized the important parts.

"No matter who you are, once you come to the Discipline Hall, you are fellow disciples who are on a mission together. The Discipline Hall will never tolerate anyone who bullies his fellow disciples by relying on their talent or family background!"

Yu He is now considered to be quite good at clerical work. He is responsible for taking these disciples to class, so he also cooperates with Tang He.

"Bullying the weak is not what the strong do. The Discipline Hall values ​​character the most. If you cross the bottom line, even if you are a rare genius in a thousand years, you will have to find another place. No matter which elder you go to, the Discipline Hall will never try to keep you!"

Although he knew it was not directed at him, Wu Feipeng still felt a tightness in his heart for some reason, as if he was being cueed. However, after listening to it, he felt that he had come to the right place.

Duan Jiashu had a puzzled look on his face, as if something in his heart was touched, an indescribable feeling.

The other senior brothers and sisters from the Discipline Hall stood by with serious faces. The shocked freshmen were not only deeply impressed, but also yearned for these upright predecessors and felt that the future was promising.

Tang He cleared his throat and said, "In order to facilitate communication, the Discipline Hall has invested in equipping you with jade mirrors. We will teach you how to use them. We will add you to the group later and your course schedule will be posted there."
