Chapter 878 Unsheathing
Mr. .
Seeing Mo Hua in the house, Master Taixu was obviously a little surprised.
Mo Hua quickly stood up and saluted, "Hello, Master."
"Yes, good." Master Taixu's attitude towards Mo Hua was very gentle.
"I returned the big dog before, but you were not here, so I tied it up in front of the book pavilion for you." Mo Hua said.
Headmaster Taixu’s expression became subtle.
He was confused.
What a rebellious beast, how come it is like a big guard dog when it comes to the kid Mo Hua...
It is really just tofu with brine, a thing. Drop something?
"Okay." Head Taixu didn't show his thoughts, and only nodded slightly on the surface.
Mr. Xun took a look at Master Taixu and patted Mo Hua on the shoulder, "That's all I learned today. You can go back first."
Mo Hua also knew that Mr. Xun The gentleman should have something to discuss with the master, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Old sir, master, I have to retire first."
After that, Mo Hua withdrew.
Mr.
Headmaster Taixu watched silently from the side, and couldn't help but said in his heart:
"As expected of the ancestor, he is really calm. It's already this time, and he still has the leisure to teach his disciples how to learn." The formation..."
The treatment of Mo Hua, the child, is not an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor's biological son.
After Mr. Xun cleared the desk, the two got down to business.
“The meeting of the Qianxue Pavilion has been decided. The sword discussion meeting will be brought forward, the quota will be relaxed, and the order of the sects will be changed starting from this meeting...”
"I've known for a long time that I had to change it, but I didn't expect that I would really do it this time..."
The head of Taixu placed a jade slip on the table and presented it to Mr. Xun.
“The four major sects have already prepared for this Qianxue Pavilion meeting, but Tai’amen, Chongxumen, and my Taixumen, including some sects that are at odds with the four major sects, are all I only found out at the end, and I was caught off guard.”
“But the initiative is in the hands of others, and it’s useless even if we object...”
Mr. Xun took it. He picked up the jade slip and glanced briefly. His expression was as usual, and he didn't seem surprised. Then he turned his head and looked at the head of Taixu:
"What do you want to do?"
Taixu The head suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but when Mr. Xun asked, he could only bite the bullet and said:
"I have tried my best to arrange it."
"This discussion The Dao Conference is very important, so the merits rewarded to the disciples have increased by 40% compared to before."
"Those who can participate in the sword discussion have already arranged for the Taoist elders to take them to the Demon Refining Mountain. Time to adjust tactics.”
"The rest of the Dan array talismans have also been selected from the outstanding disciples of this year, and will be personally guided by the sect elders. They must be able to win a certain ranking in the Tao Discussion Conference and stabilize the order of Taixu Sect..."< br>
“Other trivial affairs of the sect have also been temporarily suspended, and everything has been given way for this Dao Discussion Conference...”
……
Said the head of Taixu Gotta be organized.
Mr. Xun nodded slightly.
After Master Taixu finished speaking, he sighed, "It's just that this time the threshold may not be so easy."
He pointed to the jade slips, "These are the four major sects. The moves seem to be just normal changes in the regulations, but every move is inserted into the Mingmen."
"Taixumen is slightly better, but for Tai'amen and Chongxumen, that's not the case. It's extremely dangerous..."
"The advance of the sword discussion means less time to prepare, and they no longer have the opportunity to mediate."
"Relaxing the quota will be detrimental to me. It’s even worse for them because they are short of manpower.”
"And this session of discussion will begin to determine the ranking."
"Looking at the current situation, not to mention Tai'amen and Chongxumen, it is our Taixumen who want to keep the 'Eight Gates' The ranking is very reluctant..."
When it comes to the "ranking" matter, the head of Taixu looked solemn.
"If the Eight Gates cannot maintain their ranking, generally speaking, they will slip to the 'Twelfth Rank'..."
"But when I think about it carefully, it is not that simple."
“Although the Eight Gates are actually higher than the Twelve Streams, in name, the two are equal and there is no distinction between them.”
“To enter the Twelve Streams, you must have My special skills are in swordsmanship, Taoism, or the sect's internal elixir formations, and I have profound attainments..."
"My Taixu Sect background is not bad, but I really want to talk about it.' "Specialty" may not be comparable to these existing twelve-level sects. "
"If you fall from the eight gates and have no place in the twelve-level sects, then... you will fall straight to the Qianxue Baimen. Everything is possible."
"Cultivation is like sailing against the current. This is true for monks and so is the sect."
"Once you fall, you will fall into an abyss. It will have a great impact on the following sects' recruitment of disciples, the share of Qianlong, and the sect's reputation."
"Such a vicious cycle, if you try to climb up again, I'm afraid you will be It’s as difficult as reaching the sky..."
Headmaster Taixu sighed deeply.
He had expected the worst.
In case the Taixu Sect cannot keep its position in his hands, it will fall from the "Eight Gates" and eventually disappear among the thousands of sects in Qianxue.
Then he is really the leader of "Leave a Name in the History".
He is the "founder" of the decline of Taixu Sect.
Even so, it actually has nothing to do with him, but he has to bear the blame even if he doesn't want to.
Headmaster Taixu felt bitter in his heart.
His original idea was to live in peace and quiet in the peaceful Taixu Sect, cultivating his moral character, but he never expected that he could end up doing something like this.
The sect was in danger, and such a heavy burden suddenly fell from his shoulders.
Things in this world are really unpredictable...
Headmaster Taixu had many things on his mind. After finishing speaking, he turned around and saw Mr. Xun looking calm, nothing special at all. He couldn't help but be surprised and said:
"Ancestor, you..."
Mr. Me.”
“Quota?” Leader Taixu was slightly startled.
"Well, let's talk about the quota of the formation." Mr. Xun said, then he glanced at the head of Taixu and said gently:
"Don't worry, you will do your best, even if I The situation of Taixu Sect is really unfavorable and it is gradually losing. It is because of my poor planning, the ancestor, and I cannot blame you..."
The head of Taixu smiled bitterly.
He was very grateful that the ancestor could comfort him like this, but it was pointless to shift the responsibility now.
But he was also very confused in his heart.
Logically speaking, one should not interfere with the ancestor’s affairs, but the situation was special at this time. After all, he couldn’t help but ask:
“What do you... want this quota for?”
Mr. Xun just said calmly:
"You will know when the time comes..."
Mr. Xun then stopped saying anything and started drinking tea calmly.
Headmaster Taixu’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
......
After that, the atmosphere in Taixu Sect suddenly became tense.
Everyone seems to know that this conference on Taoism is of extraordinary significance.
Murong Caiyun, a disciple of Shangguan Xu in the late stage of foundation building, in order to prepare for the upcoming sword discussion conference, he hunts monsters every day, sharpens his tactics, and cultivates a tacit understanding between each other.
The disciples of Mo Hua, who are in the middle stage of foundation building, are not so busy because they do not need to attend the Dao Discussion Conference, but the atmosphere among the disciples is still a bit solemn.
Especially some disciples with good family backgrounds and deep backgrounds, who know the inside story from their clans, are even more worried about the situation of the Taixu Sect.
The interests of the sect are closely related to these disciples.
They don’t want to go through all the hard work to get into the "eight gates" when they get started.
As a result, once I graduated, I became an ordinary disciple of "Hundred Schools of Qianxue".
They were only in the middle stage of foundation building. Although they were impatient, they could not help.
Mo Hua is still practicing the formation.
However, the sword discussion conference started first, and the ranking weight of the sword discussion conference was higher than that of other Tao discussion conferences.
Mo Hua thought about it for a while, then went to Mr. Xun and asked:
"Old sir, can I participate in the sword discussion conference?"
He felt that he should be able to help.
Mr. From now on, the middle stage of foundation building in Mo Hua does not seem to be the middle stage of foundation building in the ordinary sense.
Especially when I think of the "accomplishments" of ink paintings:
In the records of Daotingsi, there are a series of "evil" criminal cultivators who were arrested and evil cultivators who acted cruelly.
It also includes murderous demons such as the "Fire Buddha".
Not to mention, the almost unbelievable "great achievements" of setting up a large formation and killing the big demon that I sent people to Tongxian City to find out...
Mr. Xun Looking at the white and cute ink paintings in front of me, it is difficult to connect these things with him.
But the "rumors" in Tongxian City are hard to say, but Daotingsi's records are not false.
Most of the things here are probably true.
Mr.
Mr. His spiritual power is naturally low."
"In addition, his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of foundation building. At least in terms of spiritual power, he is far behind those geniuses who are in the late stage of foundation building or even at the peak of foundation building. "As for the sword competition, there are many competitions. Your meager spiritual power cannot withstand the consumption." No matter how much you try, you won’t be able to use it, and you will have to admit defeat in the end.”
When Mr. Xun said this, his eyes were slightly solemn:
"I know that if you can get along like a fish in water outside and deal with those sinful cultivators, evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, you must have a lot of trump cards in your hand."
"But you have to understand that overt and covert matters are It’s different.”
“When you go out to do things in the dark, your methods will work wonders.”
“But the Sword Discussion Conference is in the open, with so many people watching. Look, if your trump card is exposed once, everyone will be watching."
"Others will prepare in advance to plot against you."
"Not to mention the sword. There are so many games to be played in the conference, no matter how many cards you have, if you reveal them in every game, sooner or later they will be exposed."
"In the end, all your tricks will be exposed. How can you fight if you see through it?"
Mo Hua looked awe-inspiring, but he was also a little confused and asked: "Old sir, other sect geniuses also have trump cards, aren't they afraid of being exposed?"< br>
"They are different from you..." Mr. Xun said, "Their trump card, in the final analysis, is nothing more than the realm of cultivation and superior Taoism..."
"This is hard power. , even if you are exposed, it is not easy to defeat them head-on.”
"But you are different. Can your trump cards be shown to others? Do you dare to let others see them? You didn't even show them to me..."
Mr. Xun looked at the ink paintings silently.
Mo Hua lowered his head in embarrassment.
Mr. Don’t use it unless it is absolutely necessary.”
“If you rush to participate in this sword discussion conference, even if you can help a little, it will not be of much significance, and it is even possible that the gain will outweigh the loss...”
Mr. Xun said with sincerity and sincerity.
Mo Hua looked serious and nodded.
The ancestor is worthy of being an ancestor, and the problem is indeed far-reaching.
This also reminded him.
My spiritual power is low and I am afraid of being consumed by others.
He has many cards, but he is afraid of being targeted.
If you really want to stand in the eyes of thousands of people in the future, you must find a way to solve these shortcomings.
You must also arrange your trump cards reasonably.
It is easy not to use it, but once it is used, it must be finalized to determine the outcome.
It’s best not to let others see the clues.
He had not thought about these carefully beforehand.
"Old sir, I understand." Mo Hua nodded.
Mr. , not to mention..."
Mr. Geniuses from all families can enter my Taixu Sect, and their talents and abilities are all top-notch, so don’t worry.”
Mo Hua nodded and said: "Yes!"
......
About half a month later, Qianxue Zhoujie held the first "Sword Discussion Conference" of great significance since the sect was restructured. , and it began.
This is a grand event.
The four major sects and the several major families behind them invested a lot of manpower and material resources to hold this sword discussion conference. Not only was it unprecedented in scale and grand, but the monks who came to watch the ceremony were also more numerous than before. many.
On the border of Qianxue Prefecture, among the many fairy cities, there were huge crowds of people, cars like flowing water, horses like swimming dragons, spiritual beasts and stars, and flying boats flying in the sky, making it very lively.
I really want to see the ink paintings.
Cheng Mo and the others also wanted to drag Mo Hua along to join in the fun.
But Mr. Xun did not agree. He asked Mo Hua to calm down and learn the formation with peace of mind.
Mo Hua also knew his priorities, so when the whole Qianxue State boundary was in a commotion, he was still alone, sitting in the disciple room, silently finishing the most difficult ones among the peaks of the second grade and nineteen lines. The formation was drawn over and over again.
In this state, noisy and calm intertwined.
The sword discussion conference has come to an end.
As expected, Tai'amen and Chongxumen were defeated miserably.
Their core disciples were almost wiped out by the Dao Ting Si's investigation of Yan Zhizhou.
The remaining disciples are unable to support themselves. Even if they try their best, it will be difficult for them to compete with the four major sects, the other eight sects, the twelve streams, or even some of the top sects among the hundreds of sects of Qianxue.
In addition, the number of places in the Sword Discussion Conference has been expanded this time, which is even worse for them.
This means that they are almost using "substitutes" and "cannon fodder" disciples to compete with the "main force" and "substitutes" of other sects.
This is a nightmare.
No fight at all.
Therefore, Tai'amen and Chongxumen almost became the biggest losers in this sword discussion conference.
The Taixu Sect is not bad. According to the ranking of swords, it is barely ranked seventh among the eight gates.
Originally, they were always at the bottom, but now they are slightly ahead.
Moreover, this is the ranking achieved under great pressure during the sect restructuring and in the face of intentional and unintentional targeting and blockage from major sects.
The disciples of Murong Caiyun almost gritted their teeth and fought hard to reach this point.
Even after the competition, many disciples, including Murong Caiyun, fell down due to exhaustion of spiritual power and dry up of meridians, and were sent to the alchemy room for treatment.
Headmaster Taixu was both pleased and filled with emotion.
"They are all good boys..."
The elders were in the middle, and Head Taixu and Mr. Xun sat opposite each other.
Headmaster Taixu sighed: "I come from a noble family and have seen a lot of geniuses. I know that sometimes, disciples with high spiritual roots are not necessarily that good."
" As long as the spiritual root is sufficient, it is the character of the mind that is very valuable.”
"These disciples, at such a juncture, can withstand the pressure and do their best to win face for our Taixu Sect and keep their ranking. Regardless of their talents, they are all talents who can be made and put to great use in the future..."
Mr. Depending on the situation, we will give you some preferential treatment..."
Headmaster Taixu nodded, "Okay, I will give the order."
Then he felt sad again and sighed, " This time, Tai’amen and Chongxumen were in disastrous situation.”
The Sword Discussion Conference failed, and their rankings have long since fallen.
Although this incident had been expected for a long time, when it actually happened, it still made people feel cold all over.
The three sects are connected by the same energy, and they are somewhat sympathetic to each other.
In comparison, Taixu Sect’s current situation is much better.
But this is only relative, it does not mean that you will be able to sit back and relax from now on.
The seventh and eighth are both at the end.
Next, there will be competitions on weapons, elixirs, talismans, and formations.
If the Taixu Sect is stable, it may be able to maintain its current ranking. Even if it slips to eighth, it will still be the eighth gate.
But once something goes wrong and the situation is not stable, the ranking... I really don’t know what it is.
The situation is not optimistic at all.
The head of Taixu is still a little uneasy.
Although the discussion on the alchemy array and talismans is not as weighty as the discussion on swords, it does not take long and the scale is not that large.
But after all, there are four games to discuss, and there are too many variables.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what may happen...
Headmaster Taixu turned his head and looked at Mr. Xun, only to see Mr. Xun still drinking tea calmly.
Headmaster Taixu felt helpless.
This ancestor is really ambitious, and he is not in a hurry at this point.
How did he keep his composure?
Mr. Xun seemed to have read through the thoughts of the head of Taixu. He poured him a cup of tea and said calmly: "Everything is done. Now we just have to listen to fate. There is no point in hurrying. Drink tea."
Headmaster Taixu could only take the tea cup respectfully and take a sip.
I don’t know whether it is bitter or sweet in my mouth, there is no taste.
Mr.
No one knows that he made a "sword".
He is waiting now.
Waiting for the day when this sword with a sharp edge that can shock the entire Qianxue State will be unsheathed.
After that, Taoism conferences were held step by step one after another.
Finally, two days later, it was time for the Array Discussion Conference.
This also means that this Dao Discussion Conference will finally be settled...
