Chapter 174 Long time no see(1/2)
Xu Zhen's words touched many disciples. Even Qiu Yao, a disciple who had never been close to her, looked at her with more recognition.
In any case, those who dare to face the monsters head-on and think that the first batch to go out to fight against the monsters are brave men, righteous men, and people worthy of admiration.
Qiu Yao only regretted that she was not strong enough and was not even qualified to register.
Otherwise, she would go and sign up herself.
When Xu Zhen summoned these disciples, she didn't just announce that she was going out to perform a mission.
The main thing is to arrange things for these disciples after they leave the sect.
Once you leave, it will take ten years to come back.
In ten years, these disciples also need someone to guide them in their cultivation.
There have been several god-transformation monks under her sect, and it is no problem to give guidance to those monks who are below the level of god-transformation.
We all come from the same family, and we are all a community of interests. When we are prosperous, we are all prosperous, and when we are harmed, we are all harmed.
The responsibility of instructing fellow disciples falls on those disciples who transform themselves into gods.
As for the cultivation of those disciples who transformed into gods, Xu Zhen brought them to Qiu Yong and entrusted them to Qiu Yong.
"In your cultivation, you should solve problems by yourself if you can solve them by yourself. If you encounter problems that you cannot solve by yourself, don't force them to solve them. You can ask Master Qiu for advice."
She explained this to several disciples.
In Qiu Yong's family, although Xu Zhen is a marginalized person and cannot fit into that circle, no one despises her and she is always respected as she should be.
In terms of cultivation, when Xu Zhen encountered something she didn't understand, she would directly ask Qiu Yong for advice. Qiu Yong never refused and gave serious and detailed advice every time.
She entrusted several of her disciples in the realm of gods to Qiu Yong, and Qiu Yong did not refuse.
Xu Xiao had already communicated Xu Zhen's future arrangements with Qiu Yong. Qiu Yong was not surprised that Xu Zhen took the initiative to apply to go out to perform the mission, and only said:
"This is a good thing. You have taught so many disciples, and you should also set an example for them, so that they understand that fighting against the monsters is our bounden duty as monks. No one can be spared from this catastrophe, no matter active or passive
, we all have to face it.”
Xu Zhen said: "Disciple thinks so too."
"However, the situation outside is more complicated. Even if you are a monk who returns to the void, there are relatively high risks when you go outside. After you go out, you must be careful and don't be greedy for success." Qiu Yong warned, "You have taught so many outstanding people.
He is a disciple who has made great contributions to the sect in spreading the Dharma and is also the future pillar of the sect. Preserving yourself is the best policy."
The special mention of the word "passing the law" implies that what he and Xu Xiao discussed about recommending Xu Zhen to the Hall of Teaching was true and effective.
Actively apply to go out to perform tasks, that is, go out and get a layer of gold.
After plating this layer of gold, you can start the process of entering the Dharma Hall upon your return.
Xu Zhen could understand what Qiu Yong meant.
Although I don’t have much desire for power, I am quite excited to have the opportunity to enter the upper echelon of the sect and become a part of the sect’s decision-making circle.
I had never thought about it before, because it seemed impossible.
The opportunity is now in front of us. As long as we come back alive, there is a great possibility of realizing it.
To say I'm not excited would be a lie.
Becoming a Dharma Messenger means becoming one of the dozens of most powerful people in the sect, a proper high-level member of the sect.
Moreover, she was taking over the position of a sergeant.
The Chuanfa Hall ranks first in the power sequence of the sect's halls, so it cannot be said that it has reached the sky in one step, and it is not far behind.
This time she wanted to gain gold and give herself a justifiable reason for her rise to the top, so she needed to achieve results.
It is necessary to kill a large number of Mingwang Temple monks and high-level monsters, or to bring a large amount of resources to the sect.
What is involved is the position of a high-level sect. Even if communication in all aspects has been completed, results still need to be produced.
And the results must be dazzling enough to avoid doubts.
Zhuge Mingzhu was arrogant and domineering in the Taihao Sect back then, and even dared to threaten the leader. However, she did not have any power in the sect, so she could only rely on her sword energy to occupy the Divine Sword Palace unreasonably.
It's not that she doesn't want to hold power, but that she really doesn't have any tangible achievements and can't pass the review of senior officials.
Xu Xiao has paved the way for Xu Zhen, but Xu Zhen still has to walk this journey by herself, and she must walk it carefully and steadily.
Xu Zhen used to think that when it was her turn to go out to perform a mission, she could find a place to hide, and when the time was up, she would give 100 million spiritual stones to the sect to complete the mission.
Anyway, she doesn't lack that spiritual stone.
Obviously that can't be done now.
If you want to sit in that position, you must achieve results and make a killing in the demon world.
After she signed up, she started preparing her belongings.
At the peak of becoming a god, magic weapons have no effect on her. To improve her combat effectiveness, she can only choose to purchase a large number of high-level talismans.
At the very least, it must be a talisman made by a monk at the peak of the Transformation of God.
Some of them are top-notch talismans that the Void-Returning monks took a long time to create using the skin of the heavenly demon as a carrier.
Those talismans are very expensive, and some of them can't even be bought with spirit stones.
Xu Zhen had no shortage of spiritual stones and purchased some.
Qiu Yong also gave her more than ten talismans that he personally refined.
Xu Zhen also bought some expensive elixirs.
This is not about going out for fun, but about fighting against monsters. There is no harm in being more prepared.
After signing up, I prepared for more than ten days, and finally got the notice. Three days later, I would gather in front of the Patriarch's Hall, and then be taken to the Xuanming Sect and the Demon Realm by Xu Changkong, the elder of the Dharma Transmission.
This batch of Taihao Sect will have one hundred god-transformation monks to pass through. When the list is finally determined, it will not be the hundred oldest god-transformation monks that will pass through.
A dozen or so cultivators with relatively low levels of cultivation and whose lifespan was running out took the initiative to sign up, taking the place of the dozen or so monks who were in the first batch.
Anyway, my life is short, so I am not so afraid of dying earlier.
According to some gossip that Xu Zhen heard, they could also get some benefits by replacing the places of the monks in front of them. It was not just that they were not afraid of death.
According to the rules of the sect, if the monk who is behind in the queue takes the initiative to go over in advance, he can designate his own replacement.
If there is no designated replacement object, the martial arts will replace them in order of age.
This gives some monks room to operate.
——Most monks are not that brave and are not willing to be the first to take risks.
In addition, there are more than twenty relatively young god-transformation monks who actively request to go to the demon world in advance.
Whether there is an exchange of interests here, Xu Zhen is not so clear.
She believed that there must be some monks who really wanted to make some contributions to the Taoist sect.
Although there are not many monks in that part, there are definitely some.
She couldn't do that herself, but she still admired such people.
Without the existence of those seemingly stupid monks, Taoism would have no future, and the human race would have no future.
In this desperate era, there will always be some fools who stand up bravely and prop up the world that is about to collapse.
It's just that I admire her, but she can't do that herself.
Her purpose of going out was not pure.
And she also knows that many people go out with ulterior motives.
Some were willing to go out after exchanging benefits with others, while others had to go when it was their turn.
Of course, there are also people like her who improve their grades.
However, no matter how impure the purpose is, as long as you can go out, you are making a contribution to the Taoist sect.
Even if you go out and do nothing, and come back ten years later with 100 million spiritual stones, you can still say that you have made a contribution to the Taoist sect.
——At least in these ten years, he has not used the spiritual energy of the sect.
Moreover, one hundred million spiritual stones must be paid.
Even if it is taken out of one's own pocket, it objectively enriches the sect's warehouse and can cultivate more new people.
Xu Zhen took the initiative to ask to go out to perform the mission, and the replacement spot was not wasted. She designated a replacement spot for a peak cultivator.
The sequence of the cultivator at the peak of transformation became her sequence, and she will go there again after a few decades.
The cultivator at the peak of spiritual transformation that she replaced was not a cultivator from Qiu Yong's sect, but a disciple of Xu Changkong.
This is what Xu Xiao instructed her to do.
Although Xu Xiao has decided to stand on Qiu Yong's side in the future, he will not express that attitude now. Instead, he will become closer to Xu Changkong's side.
Because he planned to push Xu Zhen to the position of Dharma Envoy in the Dharma Transmission Hall, and if he wanted to pass it smoothly, he needed Xu Changkong's consent.
That is Xu Changkong's sphere of influence.
In this regard, Qiu Yong could not do much.
