"You kid is finally willing to come over. Come in, come in."
The old man seemed to know what Li Guan was doing and waved his hand. After all, he had heard about Li Guan's achievements.
Although there are many geniuses with true royal lineage, there are many factions of geniuses, and no one is convinced by anyone.
For example, the Puhua Meridian and the Fayuan Meridian currently have one disciple who has already bullied the other disciples and gained the support of the entire Dao Meridian.
The True King Pulse is strong, but if it continues like this, it is very likely that the Taoist selection will be lost.
Now that Li Guan has appeared, no matter in terms of identity, talent, or strength, he has the foundation to convince others.
Those bad old men no matter how much they want their disciples to get the support of the True King.
Let’s ask Brother Qiu first. Before, it was easy for Brother Qiu to have no disciples, but now he has disciples.
That's another story.
Li Guan saluted the old man and then followed Wang Mian into the dark corridor. As soon as he walked in, a cold air rushed towards Li Guan.
But Li Guan's upper limbs absorbed all the chill.
Li Guan even felt that his upper limbs were more active in these environments, as if they were born to fit in these places.
But the rest of his body seemed to be suppressed by a force.
Li Guan heard Wang Mian say: "This mountain is called Discipline Mountain, which is roughly equivalent to the base camp of our True King's Line.
The belly of the mountain has been hollowed out, and cages have been built.
It is used to guard some disciples who have violated the precepts and some people captured from outside.
Almost the entire body of the cage is made of cold iron mixed with mountain stone, which has the effect of making the blood astringent and suppressing the true energy."
Li Guan's eyes lit up when he heard that it had the effect of suppressing the true energy. He seemed to have heard something extraordinary.
If his true energy has such ability, wouldn't it mean that he can suppress others innately?
Comes with weakening buff.
Looks like I'll have to take a look later.
Li Guan thought to himself that Wang Mian didn't know what Li Guan was thinking, so he continued to explain: "We have the most disciples of the True King Lineage, although we also have disciples in other halls.
However, the largest number of disciples in the Discipline Hall are the disciples of the True King Lineage. Almost 70% of the disciples in the Discipline Hall are disciples of the True King Lineage.
In other words, the Discipline Hall will give priority to disciples of the True King’s lineage to join.”
"But the Discipline Hall is in charge of the sect's discipline.
Such great power fell into the hands of Zhen Wangmai.
No matter how good the relationship between the other two lines is, they won't allow it."
Li Guan was a little confused. This had nothing to do with the distance of the relationship. It involved an issue of balance of power.
Wang Mian smiled and said: "Uncle Qiu has always been selfless, so the Taoist master will naturally not worry about him abusing his power.
Moreover, we also have a team within the True King’s Line that is specifically responsible for monitoring the Discipline Hall.
It's called the picket team, and it was established by Uncle Qiu himself decades ago to prevent the Discipline Hall from being corrupted.
No one knows exactly who it is, it may be someone from other dharma lineages, it may be some disciples, it may even be some outer disciples.
If others discover that someone is using the Discipline Hall to abuse their power, they will inevitably be punished."
When Li Guan heard Wang Mian's explanation, he was a little stunned, wondering what the strange feeling of familiarity was about.
Self-monitoring and self-purification.
Locking power in a cage, my master's thinking is a bit advanced.
Li Guan was a little confused: "Senior brother, you still want me to..."
Wang Mian explained as he walked: "Of course it's not an abuse of power, it's just asking the disciples of the Discipline Hall to supervise them more strictly.
After all, the commandments are commandments, but the intensity of implementation can still be controlled.
There are some things that you can turn a blind eye to, and you don't bother to pay attention to them so as not to offend people.
But it’s different when you speak.”
Li Guan understood that the law is the law and people are people.
The precepts stipulate this, but the specific punishment measures still need to be managed by the precepts hall.
Otherwise, what is the role of the Discipline Hall?
The intensity of this depends on how the commandment hall controls it. This is not considered a violation of the commandments or an abuse of power.
It can only be regarded as flexible law enforcement.
"That place just now was just the entrance to the hall, and there were elders sitting there on weekdays.
The one sitting here today is my master, Fang Shiyu.
The real core of the Discipline Hall is inside the mountain, and it was actually here that the true kings discussed things in the past."
After walking through the dark corridor, Li Guan followed Wang Mian and found that his vision suddenly became clear.
A huge hall appeared in front of Li Guan, where people were coming and going and chatting happily.
This was accompanied by roars of anger and screams.
Hearing these screams, some of the disciples who were chatting smiled.
Now that I have entered the Discipline Hall, I am afraid that I have truly come into contact with the core of the true king's veins.
This commandment hall not only symbolizes the power of the True King Vein, but also symbolizes the status of the True King Vein in the Tao of Immortality.
It is precisely because the True King Vein is the strongest of the three meridians that it is allowed to master the precepts.
Otherwise, if your Dharma lineage is not strong and you want to implement the precepts, what should you do if the other two Dharma lines that are stronger than you refuse to accept your discipline?
As for the Hall of Discipline held by the true king's pulse, no one in the entire Tao of Immortality dares to dissent.
In other words, this Discipline Hall is also a reflection of the disciple's status in the True King Lineage.
After the two of them walked into the main hall, Wang Mian was, after all, a disciple of the True Spirit Realm. He was also well-known in the True King Meridian. The Dongming Realm was already the backbone of the Immortality Path.
Most of them are responsible for guarding some more important places and will not be in the sect all year round, so the True Spirit Realm will be more familiar to people.
"Isn't that Li Guan? Senior Brother Li is finally here."
"Is that Senior Brother Li? He is indeed a talented person. Those losers like Wang Yang also want to compete with Senior Brother Li. I heard that Senior Brother Li used his cultivation in the Divine Realm to defeat the True Spirit Realm.
Wang Yang's cultivation level is only at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, not even the True Spirit Realm.
I don’t know how many punches he can take from Senior Brother Li Guan with his body.”
…
Li Guan's face is now known to everyone, after all, his record in the battle with the Demon Sect is also known to everyone.
Wang Mian opened his mouth and explained: "This time is a way for you to show your face in front of the True King Pulse, at least to let some disciples who are willing to join you know that you are not that kind of ascetic monk.
After today, I'm afraid many people will come to visit you.
And it’s just a chance for you to meet some people.”
"Thank you, senior brother."
In the following time, Wang Mian led Li Guan around the hall and introduced him to some people.
Wang Mian did not overwhelm the guests, but instead showed an attitude dominated by Li Guan.
It's not that Li Guan doesn't know how to socialize, it's just that socializing before was completely unnecessary, but it's different now.
If he gets the full support of the True King Pulse, it will be a rapid growth for him.
Because he learned from Wang Mian that there are now a total of six disciples in the Changsheng Channel, two in each line.
Wang Mian said that the first two preparatory disciples were from the True King Lineage, and the two consecutive selections were all disciples from the True King Lineage. It can be said that the True King Lineage was equally popular at that time.
But things started to get a bit slow later on, even though the disciples of the True King Meridian were still the largest in number and the strongest in overall strength.
But the next four consecutive times were all disciples of the other two lines.
Wang Mian once said that it seemed that his senior brother, the one who was assassinated by the Demon Sect, was originally supposed to be the third disciple of the True King Meridian to become a disciple of the Changsheng Meridian.
But when he was about to enter the Changsheng Vein, he was assassinated by the Demon Sect, and then he was chosen by the genius of the Fayuan Vein.
Li Guan couldn't help but think about it, but it was useless for Li Guan to think about the twists and turns. He would wait until he became a preparatory Taoist to think about this thing.
Li Guan didn't know how much time had passed, but things like his gambling fight were things that those people avoided.
Wang Mian also spoke to the disciples who were enforcing the law during this period, and then they patted their chests and said directly: "Brother, don't worry, our eyes are very discerning, and we will definitely not ignore any of their actions that violate the precepts."
Li Guan did not let others work in vain, and took out two bottles of pills for each person as a reward for their work.
Originally they were unwilling to accept it, but they heard Wang Mian say that Li Guan was an alchemist who was not weaker than Yin Hanyi.
Some people around were also shocked. Not only was he a good fighter, he was also able to make elixirs.
Some people who are not attached to the true king's veins also have thoughts in their minds.
For those geniuses, they already have their own team, and if they want to rely on them, they have to look at what others think.
But Li Guan has just been built now, and once you enter, you will definitely be taken seriously.
Moreover, most of the people Wang Mian brought Li Guan to know were disciples who were not attached to other geniuses.
When it was almost time, Wang Mian led Li Guan to a side hall of the main hall.
The main hall is quite complicated. The main hall is just the largest public area. I heard from Wang Mian that there are other registration areas and review areas.
As well as the punishment area and the trial area.
There are places for functions, rest, and even related tasks to be handed in. Just like being on duty in the Contribution Hall is also a task to accumulate virtue.
Discipline disciples also have their own exclusive tasks, which are patrolling, arresting people, and even punishing them.
I just want to say that the people here are responsible for the statistics, and they will be reported to the Contribution Hall together when the time comes.
This side hall has a huge round table, and a person sitting inside seems to be concentrating with his eyes closed.
Wang Mian led Li Guan to the round table.
"Senior Brother Lai."
Wang Mian said to the man inside the round table.
The man who was resting at the round table with his eyes closed opened his eyes and glared at Wang Mian.
"What I asked you to do is only done now."
Then he looked at Li Guandao with a smile on his face: "Junior Brother Li is indeed a disciple of Uncle Qiu. He has a majestic appearance and a talented person, and he is like a tree in the wind..."
Then Li Guan listened to this person, whom he didn't even know, crazily praising him in business.
Wang Mian's expression on the side looked a little unnatural. This senior fellow was good at everything, but he was a bit licky.
In particular, this senior brother who was once attached to Li Guan had a special affection for Li Guan.
After this senior brother Lai boasted for a while, he handed a token to Li Guan and said: "Junior brother, this is the token of the disciples of the Discipline Hall.
As for the test, there is no need for it. As far as your ability is concerned, the test is a waste of time."
