Chapter 17 Historical Mission

If you don’t drink, you will be drunk by yourself. This is what you mean by the scene at this time.

This is not the first time Xiao Yin has watched it, but Qi Xuansu has watched it for the first time. Because Qi Xuansu always disagrees with such things. Whenever there is a celebration in the Taoist sect, if there is no need to socialize, he will generally give up if he can.

Xiao Yin is not the case. He wants to join in the fun without being lively, let alone such a grand event. After watching the first episode, he wants to watch the second episode without falling back. Therefore, Xiao Yin can describe it vividly and even use various onomatopoeia.

However, in the past, Xiao Yin could only be on the second floor. This time he gained money and went directly to the sixth floor, and his perspective was different again.

Qi Xuansu finally couldn't avoid it this time. As the master, he and his guest Huangfu Ji were the protagonists tonight. Of course, they could not refuse, and finally saw the night dance in Zhaixing Tower.

Qi Xuansu sighed and said, "The most primitive uses of dance are: one is sacrifice, one is courtship, one is for the dead, and the other is for the living. The essence of sacrifice is death, and the essence of courtship is new life. One death, one life, one yin and one yang, which is extremely in line with the concept of Taoism."

Huangfu Ji said: "The great master is very insightful."

Qi Xuansu changed his tone: "When it comes to sacrifices, this is the director of the Witch Cult, especially the sacrifice. The eleven great witches of the Witch Cult are all good at sacrificing and dancing, and some great witches are particularly good at gaining power through blood sacrifices. This is the origin of the blood sacrifice, and this is also one of the reasons why Wu Luo can withstand the backlash of blood sacrifices. Looking at the refining process of the "Eternal Life Stone", it is also full of blood. In order to prevent Yao Ling from taking the entire Difei Mountain Blood Sacrifice in his heart and in a state of terror, we must put the recovery of Difei Mountain on the agenda as soon as possible."

This is a tactful response to Huangfu Ji's proposal.

In fact, there is another problem here. Qi Niang, Wu Niang and others serve the king and protect the emperor. Qi Xuansu can make Qi Niang a master and Wu Niang become a master of the Zixiao Palace. So how should the Taoist sect repay the Western Taoist sect in the future?

There are only two aspects: either completely let go, unbundle the Xidao Sect, and give Xidao Sect greater autonomy; or it is to effectively promote the Xidao Sect to return and give Xidao Sect the power to elect the great master and the elected great master.

Which one do you want in Xidaomen?

From Qi Xuansu's perspective, he hopes it is the latter one.

The return of the Western Dao Gate to the Dao Gate means that the five major Dao Gate will be unified again, which is really a great unification. Then it is natural to give the Western Dao Gate the power to elect and be elected.

After all, the Taoist election is not a vote for every Taoist priest, but a vote for every person who participates in the knowledge. The top leaders of the Western Taoist sect are still dominated by people from the Central Plains, and there will basically be no situation of a great master of alien races.

As for why the Taoist sect does not open universal suffrage, because the system must be linked to reality. The biggest reality of Taoist sect is that the people of Shenzhi have strong personal force, which can offset the numerical advantage of ordinary Taoist priests. The vote of Shenzhizhen priests is that it is more important than the vote of ordinary Taoist priests. Forcing the two to equal is contrary to objective laws.

If a great master is supported by most ordinary Taoist priests but not recognized by higher Taoist priests, then he will not be able to sit firmly in this position, and his powerful personal force is so indescribable.

To put it bluntly, the fundamental source of power of Shenzhi Zhenren is not bloodline or identity, but powerful force support. This is the biggest truth. It is precisely this kind of force comes from Shenzhi Zhenren himself, rather than his supporters, and is almost inseparable, which depends more on the will of Shenzhi Zhenren himself.

Therefore, the components of Jinque are likely to determine the components of the Great Master.

The Jinque, controlled by the aristocratic family, selected the five generations of masters from poor families. It was actually a low-probability event, but it was an inevitable event.

This sentence seems contradictory, but it is not contradictory.

Since ancient times, the greatest driving force for innovation and progress in the old ruling class has been the internal struggle.

The weaker side in the internal strife will think about introducing other forces to strengthen themselves.

When they introduce foreign tribes, the tragedy of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be reproduced.

And when they introduce themselves to the middle and lower levels, they are often a harbinger of changes and progress in the world.

Therefore, it became inevitable that the five generations of great masters would be promoted. Even if there were no five generations of great masters, there would be other great masters, because the internal struggle of the old ruling class would not stop.

In fact, the same is true for Qi Xuansu to rise to power. The old ruling class experienced extremely serious internal strife, and the local master and the national master attacked one after another, and eventually the position of the Grand Master fell on Qi Xuansu's head.

The emergence of the five generations of great masters actually severely damaged the rule of the Taoist family. He pushed the Taoist sect to the top and made some reform policies based on the huge prestige brought by this, which made cracks appear in the airtight Jinque under the control of the aristocratic family.

Although after the death of the Five Dynasties Great Masters, the Third Division, which represents the interests of the aristocratic family, counterattacked wildly and almost completely denied the Five Dynasties Great Masters. However, the behavior of the Third Division also broke the political tacit understanding of the Taoist sect and catalyzed the internal division of the Taoist sect.

The division of the old ruling class and the expansion of internal struggles, in order to defeat the enemy, we must introduce middle and lower classes to strengthen ourselves, so that the cracks in the aristocratic families torn open by the five generations of great masters not only exist, but also become larger.

Thanks to the Xuansheng era, the families have lost the most powerful monopoly weapon, that is, the monopoly of various knowledge. Therefore, the children of aristocratic families can have strong personal force, and common people can also have strong personal force. Since they have personal force, they should naturally have corresponding power.

I have to say that perhaps the departure of the seventh generation of masters is very indecent and disgraceful, but he did one thing right in a very short time, that is, to overturn the verdict of the fifth generation of masters.

Although the original intention of the seven generations of great masters is to bridge the division of the Taoist sect and shape more internal consensus, it also objectively continued the influence of the five generations of great masters.

Under such circumstances, Qi Xuansu naturally had to follow the trend, promote Taoist reforms, and complete his historical mission.

In addition to integrating Taoist sects and completing unification, we must also completely solve the problem of division, further weaken the aristocratic families, divide the aristocratic families, break the solidification of the aristocratic families, and promote the flow of upper and lower classes.

For today's Taoist sects, there are fewer thirty-six true people in the world. After all, it was the system of the Xuansheng era. When Xuansheng determined this system, the Taoist sect had not completely recovered the Central Plains, let alone Borneo, Bhasa, Fenglin, Luosa, and Southern Continent.

At that time, the thirty-six Shenzhi Zhenren were naturally applicable. But now it is a bit out of place. Although patches were later added, such as introducing the Pingzhang Dazhen Person system, to make up for the problem of too few Shenzhi Zhenren, the threshold for Pingzhang Dazhen Person was too high and the problem was still not completely solved.

After joining the West, North and overseas continents, the number of Shenzhi Zhenren should double and expand to 72 people. After adding water, the concentration of the aristocratic families will naturally decrease, breaking the monopoly of power by the aristocratic families. The existence of these aristocratic families can be used as the ballast of the Taoist sect to ensure that there will be no major masters of the alien race.

Qi Xuansu himself, like Xuansheng, the great master of the Five Dynasties, has never left behind any descendants who are related to blood.

There should not be an emperor in the Taoist sect, nor can there be an emperor.

Therefore, Cheng Taiyuan's set essentially uses correct conditions to deduce a wrong conclusion.

Is it true that this scholar who is well-educated Wuche is really not aware of it? I am afraid it was intentional.

It’s like doing a question. Not everyone can do it by writing all the wrong things. You can always get a few mistakes. All the mistakes mean you know what is right.

What does it mean to do even though you know it is impossible, and what does it mean to act against one's actions? That's it.

Indeed, the Taoist sect is not a Taoist sect of aristocratic families. All people under the Taoist sect are part of the Taoist sect, but this does not mean that there is an emperor to achieve equality.

Qin Quanshu actually saw it very clearly, so he said bluntly: Only when the enlightened faction is defeated can an emperor be needed.

Therefore, the conflict between the two sides is almost irreconcilable, and it must be a life-and-death battle.

After the dance, Qi Xuansu took the lead in applauding.

The others also applauded with the chief sect.

The dancers came to the sixth floor in turn and presented flower notes to the chief sect and noble guests as a souvenir.

This kind of gift is very popular among young men and is hard to find.

It is not easy to get the eyes of these dancers. They are not women of eternity, but have serious craftsmanship, so naturally they cannot use strong skills. They can only try their best to please. It is a very worthy thing to show off to get the flower paper of one of the twelve "flowers". Whoever wants to collect all the twelve flower papers is simply a "magic man" among his peers, and can be called a legendary figure.

As the master of the sect, Qi Xuansu collected twelve pieces of flower paper without knowing it at all, and didn't care at all, so he gave it to Xiao Yin casually.

This made Xiao Yin so happy that he turned three somersaults in anger, and even wanted to pull the silk and flew up "sunday".
