Chapter 877 Separation of Paths
Qianxuezhou boundary, Qiandao Sect.
In a grand palace like a beautiful palace.
Elder Shen, who was born in the Shen family and in the Ascension Realm, holds real power, is discussing matters with a group of elders.
Not long after, Elder Zheng, wearing a Taoist robe of the Qian Dao Sect, with half-white beard and hair, and stern eyebrows, pushed the door in with an angry look on his face.
The hall was quiet for a moment.
Elder Shen looked around and waved his hand, "You can go out first and we will discuss this later."
"Yes."
A group of elders and teachers, Then he exited the hall.
The palace door was closed, and only Elder Shen and Elder Zheng were left in the palace.
Elder Zheng said directly: "How do you plan to deal with Yan Zhizhou's matter?"
Elder Shen frowned, "How to deal with what? What does Yan Zhizhou's matter have to do with my Dao Sect?"
Elder Zheng sneered, "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret words, don't tell me, you don't know anything."
"Is that ship really just the Guishui Gate open?"
"Those disciples gathered together to seek fame, power, and profit. And in Qianxue Prefecture, who are the people and which families have the greatest fame, wealth and power?"
"You Shen How could the family and the Qian Dao Sect have nothing to do with each other?"
Elder Shen remained silent.
Seeing this, Elder Zheng sneered:
"It's useless if you don't tell me. I checked, and there is the shadow of your Shen family on the back of that ship. And on that ship, Many disciples of Qiandao Sect have been there..."
"Elder Zheng..." Elder Shen's face darkened and he said coldly, "Don't slander and say such irresponsible things."< br>
Elder Zheng sneered, "Whether it's slander or not, you know it yourself. I used to think you were a selfish and greedy person who was pursuing fame and wealth, but I didn't think so. You've lost your Taoist heart to this point, harboring filth and evil behind your back, and acted like a pig. Something worse than a dog..."
Elder Shen slapped the table angrily and screamed: "That's enough!"
Elder Zheng looked tough.
Elder Shen took a breath, suppressed his anger, pointed at Elder Zheng and said:
"My surname is Zheng, I am so tolerant to you because of the face of your Zheng family. , Don’t push yourself too far!”
“What do you mean by pushing your limits?” Elder Zheng retorted, “We don’t distinguish between right and wrong. If we wear the same pants as your Shen family’s dog and horse, then we can’t push ourselves too far? Elder Shen said in a cold voice: "Elder Zheng, please be careful what you say." What are you going to do about Yan Zhizhou?" Elder Zheng said with a cold face.
Elder Shen didn’t want to talk about this matter at first, but seeing Elder Zheng’s attitude of not giving up until his goal was achieved and fear of making the matter bigger, he said impatiently:
“This is The ancestor has already planned this matter.”
"What's the plan?" Elder Zheng asked.
Elder Shen's expression changed, and he sighed slightly, "The matter of Rouge Zhou was caused by our Shen family's oversight. Originally, it was just a convenience for Guishuimen, but I didn't want them to be so presumptuous and act wantonly..."< br>
“It’s more convenient?” Elder Zheng’s eyes were sharp, “I’m afraid the profit and water your Shen family made from it is not small, right? Is it because you eat too much, so you just turn a blind eye and close one eye? "
Elder Shen did not answer, but asked: "Which family does not seek interests? Your Zheng family does not seek interests?"
"At least I, the Zheng family, do not seek interests. This kind of benefit."
"Okay, okay, you Zheng family is noble, and then what?" Elder Shen sneered, "How do you want to ask me about the Shen family's sin?"
Elder Zheng: "Of course I can't ask about the sins of your Shen family. But I am the legal elder of the Qiandao Sect. I have to take care of those disciples who have been on the Rouge Boat and violated the sect rules."
Shen The elder suppressed his anger, "What do you want?"
Elder Zheng said: "Abolish your cultivation and expel the sect!"
Elder Shen slapped the table and said angrily: " Nonsense!”
He was so angry that his hands were trembling, "Who are they? They are all... the geniuses of all the major families. Everyone's spiritual roots are of the highest quality. They are the top 'pearls' among the monks in the world. How can they Who gave you the courage to abolish them if you can?”
“Besides, when is it now?”
“If you abolish them, who will do it for me?” Qian Daozong, are you going to fight for ranking? To fight for the share of Qianlongling Mine?"
Elder Shen frowned and accused, "You are so short-sighted, why don't you care about the overall situation?"
"So?" Elder Zheng sneered, "You just want to protect them like this?"
"This is not a shield..." Elder Shen sighed, "They are still young, who is young, Don't make any mistakes? You must give them a chance to correct it."
"What's more, I think you should know how important this sword discussion is compared to the interests of the sect. What do these little things mean?"
Elder Zheng said with sharp eyes, "Is this a small thing?"
"I said, compared with the interests of the sect..."
"Open your mouth for the family's interests, and shut your mouth for the sect's interests. They are all interests. Where do you put the monk's 'morality'?"
"Let's put 'morality' aside first..."
"Why put it aside?" Elder Zheng asked, and then his voice became cold, "Once you put down such things as morality and justice, you can still Can you pick it up?"
Elder Shen waved his hand impatiently, "I can't understand people like you."
Elder Zheng also looked like he was playing the piano. "So, Is this settled like this?”
Elder Shen said: “Da Xing doesn’t care about the details. In order to take care of the overall situation, these matters will not be pursued, and...”
Elder Shen didn’t want to He said, but at this time he had to lower his voice and warned Elder Zheng: "Ancestor has already nodded on this matter, don't make matters worse."
Ancestor...
In Elder Zheng's eyes , revealing deep disappointment:
“You are...losing a big thing for a small thing...”
Elder Shen was impatient: “I said this is taking the overall situation into consideration, how can you do it for a small thing? Lost a lot?”
Elder Zheng shook his head and said slowly: "We attach great importance to profit but forget our righteousness. If things go on like this, all the sects of the aristocratic families will be those who pursue profit and forget their righteousness..."
"Eating profits and getting fat, taking advantage of profits and exploiting them, the big aristocratic families and Sooner or later, the big sect will monopolize all interests and inheritance and become a behemoth, causing the cultivation world to be divided up and down, and the people to live in poverty."
"This is a sign of the corruption of heaven. Although it looks prosperous, the building will collapse, but sooner or later. "
"Here it comes again, here it comes again, the building will collapse, alarmist..." Elder Shen was impatient, he raised his arms and said proudly:
"You Look at the border of Qianxue State, look at our Qiandao Sect, the Yuyu tower, the clouds are high and the fog is shrouded, how could it not be like an immortal family?"
Elder Zheng said indifferently: "Yuyu disciples? On the surface, the prosperity of external objects cannot cover up the corruption of people's hearts. "You are still like this..." Elder Shen spat out four words, "Unreasonable!"
He waved his hand, "I don't have time to talk to you about all this. There are still important things to be discussed at the Dao Conference. If Elder Zheng is free, please help. If not, don't do it. Just mess around here, otherwise..."
Elder Shen sneered, "I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your position as an elder for long..."
"No need." Elder Zheng said directly. A jade slip was thrown in front of Elder Shen, "I quit!"
Elder Shen was stunned, "What did you say?"
Elder Zheng said word for word: "I said, I won't do this!" The elder's face was livid. He picked up the jade slip that Elder Zheng threw to him. When he saw the two big words "Resignation" on the jade slip, his expression was shocked and he said angrily in disbelief:
"How can this be unreasonable? You ...Do you know how many monks there are outside, trying to get a job in our Qian Dao Sect, but you actually..."
Elder Zheng sneered, "You belong to the Dao Sect. The temple is too big for my little Buddha.”
After saying that, he walked away.
“Stop!”
Elder Shen immediately shouted, then calmed down, looked at Elder Zheng, and said slowly:
“Don’t forget , I, Qian Dao Sect, have made an agreement with your ancestor of the Zheng family. You can leave, but your Zheng family’s formation must be passed on."
Elder Zheng looked solemn, "The ancestor just agreed to consider it. , in the end it’s up to me whether to pass it on or not.”
"What's more, my Zheng family's Bagua Thunder Formation is extremely hard and powerful, and the disciples of Qian Dao Sect don't have the character to learn from it!"
"Absurd!" Elder Shen pointed at Elder Zheng and said , "You, the Zheng family, don't think too highly of yourself. We, the Qiandao Sect, are giants in Qianxue. We have many talented people and have attracted talents from all over the world. Our disciples, the Qiandao Sect, are not worthy of learning? Who is worthy of learning?"
Zheng The elder sneered, "Tianjiao? The structure is despicable, he is unworthy of his own interests, and he indulges his own selfish interests. What can he do even if he has a heavenly spiritual root? He is just a cancer at a high level of cultivation."
"He will be poisonous in the future. If you cause the world to be unbalanced and cause great disasters, you, the Dao Sect, will be the place to support bandits! For such a sect, please forgive me for being insensitive!"
"Okay, okay," Elder Shen said angrily. "My Qiandao Sect is one of the four major sects of Qianxue. It is very powerful. One person missing you is only a drop in the bucket. But it is you...don't regret today's decision!"
Zheng The elder looked at Elder Shen with contempt, walked away without any regrets.
Elder Shen was left alone, flipping the table and slamming the table in the main hall, furious and helpless.
Since he became the true elder of the Qian Dao Sect, no one has dared to disrespect him so much, and no one has ever abandoned the respected elder position of the Qian Dao Sect like a piece of shit.
Elder Shen was furious.
After a while, he suppressed his anger, calmed down, and called the elders and disciples outside the temple to come in again to discuss matters.
The elders and disciples looked at the mess in the hall and the still angry face of Elder Shen, and they did not dare to speak at all.
The meeting continued as usual.
After the discussion, Elder Shen put all the matters into the jade slip, hid it in his sleeve, and went to the tallest tower of Qian Dao Sect alone.
The building here is made of white jade bricks and glazed tiles. It is more gorgeous and noble than the palace outside.
In the middle of the building, there is an old man sitting.
The old man's beard and hair are all white, he is wearing a robe embroidered with gold, and he has an immortal spirit.
Elder Shen stepped forward respectfully, handed over the jade slip, and then whispered:
"Old Ancestor, everything has been discussed, and all parties have taken care of it. This Dao Discussion Conference, If nothing unexpected happens, we will do what we want.”
The old man closed his eyes to rest and said nothing.
There was some silence in the high-rise jade palace.
Elder Shen lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "That man named Zheng, he doesn't know how to appreciate others, so he resigned and is leaving..."
The old man in the Chinese robe suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Elder Shen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Elder Shen felt that his ancestor's eyes were solemn, majestic and dissatisfied, so he lowered his head lower and argued:
"This man is proud of his talents and disobeys control, so On weekdays, I occasionally use words to intimidate and suppress him, but unexpectedly..."
Unexpectedly, he really gave up his job, and he lost his position as an elder of the four major sects at the drop of a hat.
The old man in the Chinese robe frowned slightly, and after a moment his voice was indifferent, "That's all, those who can stay will stay, and those who want to leave can't be kept." "Old Ancestor," Elder Shen whispered, "this surname is Zheng "Yes, it doesn't matter whether he leaves or stays, but the formation on his body..."
The old man in huapao looked at Elder Shen silently.
Elder Shen then said: "The Zheng family's inheritance of the Bagua Thunder Formation is rare in the world of cultivation. Even our Qian Dao Sect, which has a long history and profound formation knowledge, has never inherited the Thunder Dao Formation."
“If this thunder formation can be collected into the Tibetan Formation Pavilion, it will definitely add a lot of color to the Taoist Formation of our Qian Dao Sect.”
"Ancestor, please think of a way... to keep this person named Zheng?"
After Elder Shen finished speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and listened to the ancestor's decision.
The old man in huapao thought silently for a moment and shook his head, "That's all. The Bagua Thunder Formation is not taught lightly, nor can it be learned easily. If he doesn't want to teach, don't force it."
Elder Shen doesn't. Answer, frowning and said, "Ancestor, does this formation really emphasize the rigidity and righteousness of the mind?"
Seeing that the ancestor did not answer, he said again:
"In my disciple's opinion, , the theory of the nature of the mind is purely fictitious. If you have a good spiritual root and a good foundation, why should you talk about the nature of the mind?” I would like to spread the word, so I used the term 'mind's nature and Tao' to explain it."
The old man in Huapao glanced at Elder Shen, shook his head, and did not want to say more, but just ordered:
"This matter ends here. If anyone from the Zheng family wants to stay, you can let him stay. Just pretend that what happened before has never happened."
"If he wants to leave, don't make it difficult for you. ”
"Although the Zheng family is located in Zhenzhou, it is one of the few families that can pass down the Thunder Formation. We must not underestimate it."
"Not to mention..."
The old man in colorful robes calmed down and said, "The Tao Discussion Conference in front of us is the main business, don't create extraneous matters."
"Yes, ancestor." Elder Shen said.
The old man in Chinese robes then picked up the jade slip presented by Elder Shen, glanced at it, and nodded slightly.
"You're doing well, just keep going..."
"Just remember, either don't do anything or do it absolutely, and don't sleep too long at night."
Elder Shen immediately bowed his head:
“I will obey my ancestor’s instructions.”
……
A few days later, at the border of Qianxue Prefecture, there was Qianxue Pavilion.
In the tall and magnificent hall, some heads of the four major sects, eight sects, even the twelve sects and the hundred sects of Qianxue, as well as the powerful elders, gathered together to discuss the sect's restructuring. and the specific charter of the Taoism Conference.
Most matters have been discussed before.
This Qianxue Pavilion meeting is to finalize the decision.
But before the meeting, the four major sects led by Qian Dao Sect issued a motion.
As soon as the elder Tai'amen saw the jade slip, he immediately stood up and slapped the table and said, "Absolutely not!"
An elder from Duanjinmen said in a strange manner: "Why not?"
Elder Tai'amen looked through the jade slips and said: "This change is too big."
"It's just some changes in the schedule and some minor changes in the regulations, it's nothing..."< br>
“Nonsense!”
Some sects responded one after another.
"Yes, things that have been followed for hundreds of years can be changed at will."
"You don't take the methods of your ancestors seriously."
But those who disagree are ultimately in the minority.
Most sects remained silent, but some sects obviously defended this proposal.
“The laws of our ancestors are constantly changing according to the changing times.”
“I think the Qian Dao Sect’s proposal is very good.”
……
In the Qianxue Pavilion, there was a lot of discussion.
Elder Shen, who was in the upper position, coughed, and after everyone became quieter, he said: "Everyone has read the jade slip. I hope you will know the main points of this discussion:"
"First, the Sword Discussion Conference comes first, and swords are discussed first, and then Taoism is discussed;"
"As we all know, the Sword Discussion Conference is a major event in the world of our school. Not only sect disciples gather, but also aristocratic families gather, There will also be monks from all over the country to watch the ceremony. This has always been the case. "However, following the previous order of talking about Tao first and then swords is too procrastinating."
< br>“The Dao Discussion Conference is comparable to Talisman Arrays and Alchemy Weapons. The process itself is complicated. Once the time is delayed, the Sword Discussion Conference will have to be postponed. It is inevitable that there will be some confusion about priorities.”
“ Therefore, in order for the Sword Discussion Conference to be held on time, and in order not to delay the time of monks from all walks of life in Kyushu, the time for the Sword Discussion Conference must be advanced!"
"All manpower and material resources are concentrated on the Sword Discussion Conference! We will ensure that every subsequent sword discussion conference will be held as scheduled, and strive to promote this conference as the largest event in Qianzhou and even Jiuzhou."
"This is the first, and the second is to be discussed later. Sword Conference, expand the quota. "
"The original intention of the Sword Conference is not to let a few disciples take the lead, but also to encourage more sect disciples to be proactive. "
“It is a good thing to relax the quota so that more disciples can participate and encourage disciples to compete with each other and make progress together.”
“The third and most important point...”
Elder Shen paused for a moment and said with a solemn expression, "From this session on, the ranking of the four major sects, the eight gates, and even the twelfth stream will be determined based on the ranking of each sect in the Tao Discussion Conference!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the venue.
Elder Shen paused for a moment, and then continued to explain:
"In the next three terms, the order will change in each term."
"But in the three terms After that, it will be finally determined that the order of the sect will remain unchanged for a hundred years. "
"The sect will be restructured and discussed in three sessions, and the order will be determined within a hundred years. Every hundred years, there will be such a 'reorganization', and those who can live in it..."
Elder Shen said earnestly:
"The position of the four major sects and the eight gates is in our Qianxue Prefecture. Being the leader of thousands of sects in the world is of great significance.”
“The teachings of the sect are to teach and educate outstanding disciples, and only those who win in the Dao Discussion Conference are qualified to occupy this position. . ”
“Otherwise, the corpse will not live up to its name and will only make others laugh.”
"In order to prevent some sects from relying on the merits of their ancestors and not wanting to make progress, our four major sects will set an example and take the lead in implementing this matter."
"This is also a spur to our four major sects."
"In these 'four major sects', whoever has the ability will be able to rise to the top."
"If the disciples from our four major religions are not as skilled as others, we will not say anything and will be willing to Give way."
"Qiandao Sect, including the four existing sects, have no complaints!"
"What do you think..."
Qianxue Pavilion! Inside, people's hearts immediately started to float.
The four major sects!
There is no sect within the boundaries of Qianxue Prefecture that does not want to be at the forefront, does not want to be ranked among the four major sects, occupy the largest share of the Qianlong Mountains, and swallow this mouthful of fat.
Even the elders of Tai'amen and Chongxumen, when they heard the words of Elder Shen, their hearts were filled with excitement.
If there was no Rouge Boat incident, they would have taken this chance no matter what.
But now, they are dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and they are in trouble...
Several sects of Tai'amen still want to try their best to oppose it.
But Qian Dao Sect, including the four major sects, has already taken care of all affairs secretly.
These things are already destined.
In the end, all the sects voted and almost unanimously agreed to the Qian Dao Sect’s proposal.
The "sect restructuring" planned by various parties has officially begun to be implemented...
...
Taixu Sect.
The elder is in the middle, and Mo Hua is still learning formations from Mr. Xun.
To be precise, ink painting is an "examination".
Mr. , all painted.
There can be rest time in between, but the time given is very little.
The ink painting started in the morning and continued until the evening.
When he handed the "test paper" to Mr. Xun, there was still one-third of the incense in the incense burner in front of Mr. Xun.
“Is the painting finished?”
“Yes.” Mo Hua nodded.
Mr.
Although the time is limited, despite the large number of patterns, and despite the difficulty of the formation.
But the formation patterns on the test paper are rigorous and regular, stroke by stroke, as if they were printed, without any mistakes!
Even the brushwork is perfect and flawless.
At this level, it is almost impossible for a second-grade formation master to complete this top-notch formation test.
Even if an ordinary third-level formation master came to take the exam, he would never be able to do this.
Solid foundation, extensive coverage, profound experience and profound attainments.
The spiritual thoughts are unfathomable, and the writing skills are refined over time.
It’s an old monster who has lost his soul to draw the second-level formation, but it’s nothing more than this...
Mr. Xun took a breath of cold air, and then took a deep look at the ink painting. The hanging heart in my heart finally slowly relaxed...
The Taixu Sect has a turning point!
