Chapter 181 The lingering sound of Volume B Taoist meeting, goodbye old friend
Looking at Yao Liwei’s face full of longing, admiration, and emotion, it was hard for Chen Huaisheng to imagine that this was an eighth-level Qi refining person who was over fifty. The head disciple's direct disciple can still remember it so deeply after more than ten years, and still be so obsessed with and reminisce about the elegance of that Taoist meeting.
Chen Huaisheng also knew Yao Liwei's temperament after being exposed to it for so long. He had always been calm and measured, rarely surprised, but he could not hide this emotion in front of himself.
On the one hand, it shows that I feel relaxed and casual in front of myself, on the other hand, I am really impressed by the scene more than ten years ago, which is deeply rooted in my bones and my heart, and it is difficult to let go.
The latter factor is definitely greater.
"Pei Shisan, the Pei family? Are they the children of the Pei family from the eight great families of the Tang Dynasty?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but asked: "Does the Great Zhao Taoist Association also welcome the neighboring sect families to participate in the meeting?"
"Welcome again So what if you don't welcome it?" Yao Liwei still had a look of reminiscence on his face, "Maybe the officials don't like it, but for our cultivation sect and the aristocratic family, this is a glimpse into the strength of the neighboring sect. Opportunity. Those who dare to come to the Shangyuan Taoist Society must be amazing figures in their sects, and they can also compare their own differences..."
Chen Huaisheng finally couldn't help but ask: "The Taoist Society Are they all competitions at the same level?"
Yao Liwei shook his head, "Competitions at the same level are naturally the most common. You can also compete at a higher level, but you can only go beyond one level. This is already the limit. After all, crossing levels means a huge gap in the level of strength. If you don't pay attention, you will be crushed. Generally speaking, it is difficult to make up for it in other ways. Of course, as I said before, there are always people who are not in this category. They can even be in the same place. You can directly advance to the next level in battle, or even achieve enlightenment..."
Yao Liwei and Chen Huaisheng briefly talked about the various competitions and competitions in the sermon meeting.
There are competitions at the same level, challenges at higher levels, competitions between sects, and competitions for different age groups, which are quite complicated.
However, because there has been more than ten years between this Taoist meeting and the last Taoist meeting, the rules and content of the trial will not be officially released until the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Now the Dao Palace is inviting various sects to discuss, and at the same time, some changes will be made to the top list of Hidden Dragons and Soaring Phoenixes.
"I have always been curious, what is the purpose of Taoist palace organizing such a Taoist meeting? Is it just for a simple discussion to improve the level of practice?"
Chen Huaisheng's question made Yao Li Wei couldn't answer for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Maybe it's more than just that, there should be a deeper intention, but small and medium-sized sects like us probably can't get involved."
< br>
Starting from the third day of the first lunar month, Da Zhao Dao Palace began to convene various sects and aristocratic families who came to Bianjing to discuss the content and rules of this Dao meeting.
Now that I have come to Bianjing City, I naturally want to take a walk, but Xu Tianfeng is worried that there are so many practitioners from all over the city now that it is easy to cause unnecessary troubles due to trivial matters. There were disputes, so the disciples were strictly ordered not to go out at will. If they want to go out, they must form a team and ask for leave.
But Chen Huaisheng is not among them.
Chen Huaisheng's temperament reassured Xu Tianfeng, believing that he would not cause unnecessary trouble.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian coming back.
In the initial meeting, two representatives from each sect can participate in Taoist palace discussions.
But after the eighth day of the first lunar month, each sect can only have one representative.
But everyone knows that those who can really speak out at the meeting and gain recognition and respect are only a few large sects and some top families, while most of the other small and medium-sized sects can only listen on the sidelines.
"I met Master Xu and Brother Zhao."
Xu Tianfeng did not go today, but Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian went to attend the meeting.
"Well, Huai Sheng went to inform all the disciples. The master wants to report the status of today's discussion."
Zhao Sitian nodded.
I wanted to go out, but it seemed like I couldn’t, so Chen Huaisheng had no choice but to inform everyone.
“Today’s discussion is mainly to clarify the purpose of the Taoist meeting. In addition to promoting the true cultivation method, the main purpose is to discuss countermeasures against the internal disputes in the Da Zhao cultivation world and some chaos in the border areas. ..."
Xu Muyang's words were also somewhat helpless and lonely.
For example, the Chonghua sect should be the victims of the disputes and chaos mentioned. Longyanfang City was attacked, Zheng Zeyuan, Lu Zhaolin and others were attacked, the dispute with Baishimen, and the bullying of the Southern Chu Zijin sect. All of them were involved in the main purpose of this Taoist meeting, but during the discussion, it was not the turn of small and medium-sized sects like them to intervene.
The topic is basically controlled by sects and clans such as Tianyun Sect, Taihua Tao, Wanxiang Sect, Huaxi Sword Sect, Zhao family, Shi family, Tao family in Bianjing, Mi family and Zhen family in Luoyi. Even if Jiulian Sect wanted to get in the conversation, it would be difficult.
"According to what the uncle said, this palace has never cared about the troubles and difficulties faced by our sects in the border area of Yinan?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but asked: "Then Why come under such a pretense?" Xu Muyang, Xu Tianfeng and Zhao Sitian couldn't answer.
“Also, if we and Baishimen are fighting within the sects of Da Zhao, and the Taoist palace can’t take sides, and the Zijin sect is bullying us, this is the conflict between the Nanchu sects. Isn’t there an explanation for the Great Zhao Sect’s attack?” Seeing Xu Muyang hesitate to speak, Chen Huaisheng asked slightly sarcastically: “Or do you mean we don’t have definite evidence?”
Xu Muyang smiled bitterly and said nothing, while Zhao Sitian nodded helplessly.
“Well, the result was that we were attacked and victimized, which became the best cover for them to hold Taoist gatherings. But in fact, few people took our matter seriously at all, for fear of monsters. The winter tide of beasts is not a trivial matter in their minds, right?"
Chen Huaisheng's harsh words made Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian remain silent with a hint of bitterness.
There are two capitals in the nine counties of Zhao. Needless to say, the nine counties are ranked according to population and status: Dongsanjun, Xisanjun, and Nansanjun. Among the three southern counties, Yi is the poorest, most remote and least populated. County, and the three Yinan prefectures of Yi County, Huozhou, Langling, and Yiyang, are the poorest and most southern border areas.
Whether it is the Lingyun Sect, the Chonghua Sect, or even the Baishi Sect, what does it matter to the big sects and aristocratic families in Bianjing?
A group of country bumpkins, a few foundation builders in the sect are considered big shots, but what do they mean in the city of Bianjing?
"Then what are we going to do?" Chen Huaisheng asked again.
Xu Muyang waved his hand: "Why are our affairs not worth mentioning in the minds of people like Dao Palace? In the final analysis, our own strength and influence are insufficient. Hundreds of mortals died in Langling. The imperial court in the capital won't care, and the Taoist palace won't care if a dozen or so monks die..."
"But what if something like this happened to the Huaxi Sword Sect or Taihua in Bianjing? What if this kind of thing is revealed? I'm afraid it will be different."
"So what we have to do is to make the people in the Tao Palace realize that we are not dispensable..."
Xu Muyang didn't say any more. Chen Huaisheng didn't know if Yuan Wenbo, Cai Jinyang and Tong Tong understood the meaning of Xu Muyang's unspoken words.
People dispersed.
Chen Huaisheng suddenly lost interest in going out for a walk.
The fate of the Chonghua Sect is uncertain, which also means that its own future is also very uncertain.
It is necessary to rely on the excellent performance in Taoist meetings to prove the value and significance of the Chonghua Sect and prove it to the Jiulian Sect, but if the big guys behind them feel that the Chonghua Sect is more valuable, isn’t it? What about this group of people, but wealth and land?
Or maybe the Jiulian Sect cannot control this situation at all, and even the Jiulian Sect itself is facing the same crisis?
From the situation introduced by Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian, Chen Huaisheng felt that the critical situation might be worse than imagined. It did not even depend on how well the Chonghua Sect performed, but on the Jiulian Sect itself. It can no longer control its own destiny, so how can it have the energy to care for others?
How important are Yinan and even Yijun to the Jiulian Sect? So what if you give up?
If it was really important, it would not have been entrusted to Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect for so many years, and not even a Taoist temple was established in Yijun.
I'm afraid I should go to the Jiulian Sect to take a look and find out what the situation is like. I haven't seen it for three years, and what is the situation of the Jiulian Sect.
The Nine Lotus Sect is different from other sects. It is an alliance of nine branches, but their alliance is relatively close. It was originally one branch with nine branches, but later it was reintegrated. The sect has a history of two thousand years.
Its mountain gate also has nine branches, but the main altar is set up in Bianjing.
For example, the gate of Guipeng Sect is at Bailing Mountain in Sui County, and the gate of Demon Lotus Sect is at Yunxiao Mountain in Ji County.
Chen Huaisheng arrived at Changlefang inside Daliangmen, where the main altar of Jiulian Sect was established.
Looking at the rows of pavilions and pavilions and the huge archway outside, you can also see the popularity of the Nine Lotus Sect in the capital city.
Perhaps because of being in Bianjing City, although Chen Huaisheng could also feel the aura of the magic circle, it at least seemed quite peaceful and peaceful outside. There were four disciples in charge of knowing guests outside, all of whom were at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and their age They are not very old either, they are all around thirty or forty years old.
"Brothers, Chonghua disciple Chen Huaisheng has come to visit Brother Tang Jingtian of the Nine Lotus Ghost Peng Sect."
Several disciples actually saw Chen Huaisheng coming on foot from a distance, but they didn't care.
But when I got closer, I was a little surprised to see that Chen Huaisheng was only in his early twenties and was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. However, thinking about the thousands of disciples from various sects who came to the capital city at this time. The role you choose makes you feel at ease.
"Senior Brother Tang has not arrived yet, I am afraid it will take another two or three days to arrive in Beijing." A disciple obviously knew Tang Jingtian's whereabouts and immediately responded.
Chen Huaisheng was slightly disappointed, but then he said: "What about Junior Sister Xuan Chimei of the Yuanhe Sect? I wonder if she is here?"
Before Zhike disciple could say anything, a surprise message came from outside the archway. Voice: "Brother Huaisheng? Is it really you?"
