Chapter 42 The rift gradually grows
The human heart is the strangest thing. At this time when the Chu and Qin sects united together to overcome the initial hardships and began to stabilize and improve, the two generals of Qi Xiu secretly had a deep feeling for each other.
The focus, or rather the remote cause, of the conflict between the two people can only be attributed to the leader Qi Xiu.
Although Zhang Shishi, like Qi Xiu, was a disciple of the inner sect of the old Chu Qin sect who was first promoted and then suppressed, the two of them sympathized with each other at first, but they soon had fundamental differences in their views on some matters. .For example, Qi Xiu always liked to say that he would level a bowl of water, not wanting his disciples to suffer the same kind of bullying and cold treatment he had received back then. However, Zhang Shishi didn't take it seriously.
Although he himself was a waste of his own life, he also received a lot of looks and bullying, but intellectually he still agrees with the iron law that "those with talents enjoy more cultivation resources". This is the case in every sect in the entire cultivation world. Rules, why does Qi Xiu think he can find his own way? This is emotional and irrational. In the short term, it can indeed appease Pan Rong, Shen Chang and others, but this is at the expense of He Yu, the only hope of Chu and Qin At the expense of the star's cultivation speed.
Until now, He Yu still has to participate in mundane tasks such as fetching water, cooking, and keeping watch at night. This is simply unimaginable in other small sects. The most talented disciples and the most useless disciples do the same work, and in order to ensure fairness , it is compulsory to take turns to do all the common tasks. However, cultivation does not mean that you can work on time like those ordinary long-term workers. For example, when you have an enlightenment, you need to sit quietly and exercise, but it happens to be his turn to fetch water. , this rare opportunity of cultivation has been wasted. The next time we want to meet the opportunity, it may be months or years later. This loss of time may even affect He Yu. To put it bluntly, the future of foundation building and cultivation is to compete with the sky for longevity. If you really want to pursue the great road, how can you tolerate any delay?
In particular, the more Zhang Shishi got along with Qi Xiu, the more confident he became in his bones. He felt that he could control Qi Xiu's right to speak about cultivation. After all, Qi Xiu's comprehension and understanding of cultivation were really mediocre. Every time Kan Lin came to visit , Zhang Shishi and He Yu could sit and talk with each other, while Qi Xiu could only sit next to him and grin with him. As for general affairs, in Zhang Shishi's eyes, those are things that a slightly smarter mortal can do well. Don't you see there are many things that can be done well by ordinary people. Can mortals be allowed to serve as guests in Xiuzhenfang City? It’s nothing more than trivial matters. The foundation of a monk is still in cultivation and practice!
The differences between Zhang Shishi and Qi Xiu are fundamental to how the sect will proceed in the future. They are almost irreconcilable. However, Zhang Shishi's character is considered to be very upright. Although his temper is a bit stubborn and a bit stubborn, he is also very loyal and loyal. I respect everything Qi Xiu has done for the sect. For example, when it comes to raising pigs and fish, I argued and argued and refused, but in the end he carried it out obediently. He only occasionally helped He Yu gain more practice time in private, but the starting point was still For the good of the sect.
Qi Xiu loved his disciples wholeheartedly and was tolerant in all aspects, so he didn't think anything of it. He was also angry about what Zhang Shishi was trying to do with him, but after getting angry, he forgot that they were all his own disciples. He is also his own child, so how can he have an overnight feud? Besides, Qi Xiu is the head of the clan, and his status is there. Unless he abdicates, no one can take away his position, and everyone has to listen to him, so what's the point? What do you care about?
But Qi Xiu didn't care, which didn't mean that Zhan Yuan, who was watching coldly, didn't care. Zhan Yuan was discovered by Qi Xiu. In the past, he was just a second-level Qi practitioner like Pan Rong and Gu Ji, but now his status is very different.
, all of this was given by Qi Xiu. Qi Xiu's proficiency in general affairs, his relatively broad knowledge, his trust in himself, and his equal treatment of his fellow students, including himself, who could not go further, all made Zhanyuan General Qi Xiu.
Hugh regards him as a benefactor and teacher, and sincerely worships and supports him.
It can be said that Zhan Yuan unknowingly imitated Qi Xiu in everything, including his enthusiasm for common affairs, dedication to the sect, and even his treatment of others. However, after all, he and Qi Xiu have different statuses, different perspectives, and different directions in thinking about problems.
Different, and Zhang Shishi became more and more dazzling in his eyes.
First of all, everyone can see that Zhang Shishi favors He Yu. In Zhan Yuan's eyes, this is a private betrayal of Qi Xiu's demand for equal treatment. Zhang speaks directly and acts directly, and lacks caring for others. Due to his status as the next leader
Now, except for He Yu, who has a bright future, he gives direct orders to everyone, and the same goes to Zhan Yuan. Moreover, Zhang has no planning ability. For example, when building a magic array, everyone just works together and concentrates on it, without taking into account the difference in ability.
It made everyone extremely tired, but the speed didn't increase much. Another example is to schedule the practice of spells during this period, distribute items according to each person's natal spiritual root, and assign tasks. They don't ask about anything else, and they just keep pushing.
All of the above, in Zhan Yuan's eyes, there is room for improvement, and his brain can't help but start to imagine that if he directs it, he will probably do much better than the other party, right? With these thoughts, he can't stop.
In addition, Zhang Shishi didn't pay much attention to what he said, and repeatedly inadvertently dropped Zhan Yuan's face, which further deepened Zhan Yuan's prejudice against him.
Zhan Yuan thought for a while, and the biggest focus was Zhang Shishi's attitude towards He Yu. People don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. It's clear that the boss wants a bowl of water to be fair. Why is it that you, Zhang Shishi, are not fair? It's obvious that you treat people well.
People don’t pretend to be polite, so why are they so different to He Yu?
Originally Zhan Yuan wanted to talk to Qi Xiu about this matter, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Qi Xiu would think he was complaining behind his back, so he simply acted more openly and found an opportunity to make an appointment with Zhang Shishi alone. Zhan Yuan took the initiative and sincerely asked Zhang Shishi.
He started talking casually, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all. He scolded him with a disdainful tone for his low cultivation level, saying, "Don't give random opinions if you don't understand cultivation matters" and so on.
This completely angered Zhan Yuan, and Zhang Shishi also noticed that the other party doubted his ability to succeed as the head of the family. This was his untouchable counterattack, and the relationship between the two completely cooled down from then on. Zhan Yuan and Shen Chang
, Pan Rong got closer and closer, and he, Zhang Shishi, and He Yu faintly formed two small circles secretly confronting each other.
The two of them coincidentally did not tell Qi Xiu about this matter, probably because they felt that they were in the same sect and felt a little ashamed of him, right?
Although they went there every day and greeted each other at the door, the people on both sides hid their concerns very well, and Qi Xiu was finally kept in the dark.
