Chapter 374: Volume B: The Storm of the Great Road, the Will of God and the Law
The words with aggrieved and exaggerated tone made both Chen Huaisheng and the red-faced man laugh.
"Who said you are from Dingling and we are from Liao County? Aren't we in Liao County just country people in the eyes of the people in your city?" The red-faced man said cheerfully: " I remember that when the Lingyun Sect accepted disciples, they were all the best in the city. Then Zhugao and Xiyang among the three counties in the North were given priority, then Anfeng, and finally we from Liao County and Zhang County. After I started, He has suffered a lot and been squeezed out.”
Chen Huaisheng also knows this as clearly as a mirror.
Although Lingyun Sect was a local sect in Yiyang Prefecture, Beisan County and Nansan County were clearly divided. Every year when recruiting disciples, Beisan County was given priority, and Pian County and Liao County were placed last. .
Unlike Guzhen's other side, Yuanbaozhai, Fengtongling, Heimuya, and Guzhenyi, few Dao seeds have entered Lingyun Sect. On the contrary, Baishimen and Chonghua Sect still come here to recruit disciples from time to time.
So although Lingyun Sect is a local sect in Yiyang Prefecture, its impression among the people of Nansan County is not good, and its presence is not as strong as other sects in the local area.
"Yes, our Liao County can only be regarded as a slightly better existence than Pang County in Yiyang Prefecture. With a population of only one or two hundred thousand, who will care about you?" Chen Huaisheng also agreed with a smile.
“Isn’t that what it is?” Teng Dingyuan, a red-faced man, became more and more excited, “We only have 20,000 to 30,000 people in the sleeping cloud shop, and we have similar solid towns. They are all deep in the mountains. No ordinary person would go there. ? "
"Not necessarily. I remember that Sun Chunyang of Lingyun Sect was killed on the edge of Woyunpu Lianyun Plank Road. Later, Jiulian Sect came to investigate specifically for this. I've been here too, but I was assigned to investigate the murder of Lu Zhaolin in Yefenggou." Chen Huaisheng recalled the story from five years ago and couldn't help sighing.
"Ah? Brother Chen, were you there at that time?" The red-faced man was greatly surprised, "I was also there, but why didn't I see you? Senior Uncle Wu was also there at that time, as well as two senior brothers and sisters, Yun He and Luo Xiuyue, I have seen them all, but I didn’t see you.”
“At that time, I had just started to realize Taoism, and I had not yet completed the first level of Qi refining. I could only run errands outside, so it was my turn to participate. ?" Chen Huaisheng laughed and shook his head.
The red-faced man suddenly remembered something, "I have an impression. At that time, it seemed that Yi Chuyang of the Jiulian Sect recommended a disciple to join the Lingyun Sect, but he was rejected by the sect and later recommended to the Chonghua Sect. ,..."
"Yes, it's me. I asked Xuan Chimei from Heimuya to help me find a way to Yi Chuyang,..." Chen Huaisheng smiled and said: "Xuan Chimei is Hei Muya. Mu Yaren is a talented disciple of Jiulian Sect. Maybe Brother Teng should know about it, right?”
“Junior Sister Xuan, I know that he is the youngest and most talented person in Liao County, but now it seems that Brother Chen will be added to the list. "Teng Dingyuan lamented: "It's been five years now."
"Then why didn't the Jiulian Sect accept Brother Chen as a member?" The donkey-faced man on the side asked curiously: "Since they are all entrusted to Yi Chuyang's family, there is no reason why the Jiulian Sect didn't directly accept Brother Chen as a member."
Chen Huaisheng laughed, "Perhaps the number of disciples recruited by Jiulian Sect was already full at that time, or maybe my qualifications are dull and they didn't take notice of me."
As for Jiulian Sect, whether it is the original Lingyun The disciples of the sect and the Chonghua sect are all angry now, full of dissatisfaction and contempt, and teasing and teasing is commonplace in casual conversations.
The two families suffered a big loss from the Jiulian Sect. Now that the two sects have merged into one, they share the same hatred on this topic.
The three of them all laughed. After a while, the red-faced man Teng Dingyuan recalled: "The tragic death of Senior Brother Sun has been investigated, but it cannot be separated from the White Stone Sect or the Zijin Sect, and the Lu It is said that what happened to senior brother may have been caused by demons, but where did the demons come from?”
Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "It's also a confusing account. There are few people around Yefenggou, and monsters appear frequently. There seems to be no reason why Brother Lu went there, and we can't investigate further, so we can leave it alone."
Talk. Reminiscing about old events brought the two of them closer together, and since they were all from Yiyang Township, they became even more friendly. This meal was a particularly enjoyable one.
Chen Huaisheng also learned from the two of them that the number of disciples who had merged with Lingyun Sect was about 120.
Except for Qi Hongkui, the big boss who was badly hurt but did not fall outside the Zi Mansion, their former sect leader Wan Tianjun chose to leave the sect and become a casual cultivator because he fell into the Zi Mansion. , has already gone out to look for his own opportunities, with the intention of re-entering Dengzi Mansion.
It’s just that I don’t know how many years it will take to get there, and it’s hard to say whether I can still log in.
Almost all of these one hundred and twenty disciples came from Yiyang. There were only a few disciples recruited here in Hebei, which was almost negligible.
There are about twenty people in the advanced Qi Refining section, but almost all of them are young and middle-aged people. The situation like the Chonghua Sect where almost half are old and old does not exist in the Lingyun Sect.
Of course there are more people who focus on the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining, but in the ninth and peak levels of Qi Refining, in the past six months alone, two people have entered the ninth level of Qi Refining from the eighth level, and one person has entered the ninth level of Qi Refining. At the peak of Qi refining, plus the original five who were at the ninth level of Qi refining and at the peak of Qi refining, there are now eight former disciples of the Lingyun Sect who are at the ninth level of Qi refining and at the peak of Qi refining.
This number greatly exceeds the number of the old Chonghua sect at this level.
If coupled with the numerical disadvantage in foundation building, it can be said that in addition to the confidence of the old Chonghua sect in Zifu, the backbone strength levels of foundation building and high-level Qi refining are all comprehensive Falling behind.
Of course, there is no doubt that the most critical and decisive force of a sect is still Zifu. But foundation building is the foundation of Zi Mansion. Only with enough foundation building can genius burst out and rise to Zi Mansion. This is an irrefutable truth.
Chen Huaisheng felt that the reason why Teng Dingyuan and Yang Husheng behaved so peacefully and calmly, even a little relaxed and comfortable, was because they felt that they had merged with Lingyun Sect. In addition to Zifu, the disciples' strength is overwhelmingly superior to the old Chonghua sect at the core levels of foundation building and advanced Qi refining.
This is also why Shang Zhu and Wu Tianen, old Chinese people, feel a little uncomfortable and even dissatisfied.
But discomfort is okay, but dissatisfaction cannot be expressed in words. After all, we are all a family now. If it is expressed in words, I am afraid that it will make people in Lingyun Sect and Ding family feel rejected. That would defeat the original intention of inviting these two parties to join.
However, the factional differences between the sects did not have much impact on Chen Huaisheng. He did not have much ambition to get involved in the sect's power struggle, nor was he qualified.
The two people in front of him are also quite to his liking, and the three of them are all from the same country, so this makes him feel more at ease.
"Have Brother Teng and Brother Yang ever returned to their hometowns in the past few years?" Chen Huaisheng asked about the situation in his hometown, "I have basically not been back in the past few years, and I don't know what the situation is like."
The five-year appointment with Xiong Zhuang is still early, and according to the news from Jiu Ge and Chi Mei, Xiao Qi is also going very smoothly in Jiulian Sect. Now Bao Yi has come to Hebei, and Tong Tong doesn’t know what to do. Since then, Kou Qing has been practicing in seclusion at the Kou family. It seems that there is not much to worry about in the whole of Zhao. It doesn't matter whether he goes back or not.
"I have never been back." Teng Dingyuan shook his head: "My parents died early, and a younger sister married in the countryside. I don't know what the situation has been like in the past few years. I have been living in exile since I came to Hebei. It was only this year that I Now that things have calmed down, oh, by the way, does Brother Chen know what the sect’s attitude is towards the Shangyuan Taoist Conference?”
"Brother Teng, we don't want Brother Chen to come to Brother Teng. Why don't you just call me Huaisheng, and I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Dingyuan and Brother Husheng, how about that?" Chen Huaisheng said with emotion.
Teng Dingyuan is also a straightforward person. After a brief exchange of glances with Yang Husheng, he agreed, "Huaisheng, would you like to attend the Taoist meeting?"
"I don't plan to go, but maybe I will follow. Let's go to Bianjing and do some other things." Chen Huaisheng shook his head.
"Huai Sheng, you don't plan to participate?" Teng Dingyuan and Yang Husheng were both very surprised.
In their opinion, with Chen Huaisheng's age and spiritual level, it is time to participate in this kind of reputation enhancement, especially for people like them who are about to build a foundation, it is more important.
"Well, I have no plans yet." Chen Huaisheng said firmly.
"Huaisheng, don't you know the ranking list of the Taoist Palace?" Teng Dingyuan lowered his voice slightly: "It is said that starting from this Taoist meeting, the ranking list of the Taoist Palace will be integrated with the decrees and divine wishes announced by the government. ..."
Chen Huaisheng was stunned, a little in disbelief, "Brother Dingyuan, you mean that the government will issue a decree on the Dao Feng Yun Bang and post it in the temples? "
Teng Dingyuan looked solemn and said, "That's true."
Chen Huaisheng's face was uncertain, and after a while he slowly said: "I'm afraid that the Avenue of the Year list will not be something you and I can imagine in twenty years. So this Tao will..."
If the government really wants to use the decree to spread the law to various places, then the meaning will be different.
This means that the characters on the Billboard list will be infected by the incense and divine wishes offered by temples, which means they will receive the power of divine wishes.
Even if it cannot be compared with the real god's residence, this is the incense and blessing offered by thousands of mortals. Even if the power of the god's wish is even the slightest, you will benefit a lot.
Maybe you can ascend to a higher level in an instant.
But this is of little significance to monks at the Qi training level below the foundation building level, because the power of this divine wish is more affected by induction.
It should be said that it is of great significance from the beginning of Zifu, and the foundation level can also benefit, but it is far from comparable to the levels of Zifu Golden Pill.
However, on the list of the top 100 in the Great Dao Ranking, even the Chonghua sect would be hard-pressed to have one person on the list. The Purple Mansion Essence Realm is not even qualified, let alone people like Chen Huaisheng.
