"I have always been doing it, senior. Within the scope of my ability over the years, I dare say that no Anhe Taoist has done more than me!"
Hou Ting has the confidence to say this, because it is a fact. Whether he wants it or not, he has been entangled with the Wu clan for all these years, and there is no way to reconcile.
Master Xiao said with a smile: "I know, I all know, from the beginning of discussing Taoism in the Southwest to the Lizhihai to destroy the pirate power supported by the Wu clan, among the monks in the Tongtian realm, no one has done a better job than you.
This is the reason why I didn’t contact you. Since I’m doing so well, why should I put more burden on you? Why should I worry about you all day long?”
He stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the tea?"
Hou Ting smiled sarcastically, "No tea, only wine..."
Master Xiao shook his head, "So you still want to kill me with your sword, but that's right. Without your temperament, I wouldn't be able to accomplish these big things. Troubled times are the stage for people like you."
He took the wine and took a sip, "Originally I was thinking, let's just pretend that I don't know anything, and let you become Wu Clan's bitter hand. With Yan Clan Quanzhen backing you up, the higher you climb, the more Wu Clan The more uncomfortable it becomes, I am just enjoying the results behind my back...
But I didn’t expect to meet you here, is this God’s will?”
Hou Ting listened quietly. He needed to make an accurate judgment on everything in front of him. He knew very well what kind of character he was opposite. He was an old monster who was hundreds of years old. He couldn't simply distinguish between good or bad.
Master Xiao continued, "I took the initiative to point out all this because of several considerations.
First, in order to completely dispel the uneasiness in your heart, in the Splendid Continent, everything will be done until the baby changes, so no one will know your secret anymore. This will make you feel more at ease to practice.
Secondly, even if Anhe needs your service, a relationship that is more about nostalgia and friendship is much stronger than using a low-level status to restrain you, especially the higher the level, no one wants to be betrayed by someone. It is the nature of a practitioner to be bound by unreliable oaths.
Force will only lead to backlash."
Hou Zi nodded. This real person spoke very clearly and the world was clear.
"San Lai, do you know the real reason why I came to Truman?"
Hou Zi had doubts on his face. He was waiting for Master Xiao's explanation, otherwise he would not be able to let go of how Master Xiao suddenly revealed everything at such a time.
This may be a kindness, but it may also be a threat.
"I came to Truman to fight for An He's true disciples." Master Xiao said straightforwardly.
"The Anhe Taoist Sect is in turmoil, and the disputes in the Taoist Sect are getting more and more intense. Civil war is only one step away; in all aspects and fields, including the issue of true disciple ownership that everyone is most concerned about, there are still thirty years to go. The agenda is up.
The decline of Anhe was caused by the decline in its own strength. At this point, there are external reasons and internal reasons for Anhe. I, the ancestor, bear the first responsibility and bear the responsibility that I cannot shirk."
This was the first time that Hou Zi heard an in-depth analysis of the underlying causes of Anhe's civil strife. It came from the mouth of an ancestor like Zhenren Xiao, and his credibility was very high.
"One of the most important points is that there is a lack of follow-up inheritance, the quality of disciples has declined, and many outstanding talents have been snared by the Wu sect, so that now it is very difficult to find a few truly excellent disciples who can convince everyone.
In the current situation, the Wu sect is playing a hand in it, trying to win over the differences, and it has added variables to the dispute between the Anhe Taoist sect and the true inheritance. There are even Wu sect disciples who have switched to Anhe Taoist sect, hoping to gain the position of the true inheritance, but we can't find it now. A few who can compete with them."
Sighing, "One wrong step, one wrong step, and the rhythm is getting worse. This is why I came to Truman. Since the Anhe Surrender Faction can recruit Wu Clan disciples as backup, of course our independent faction can also find suitable friends." .
Among the Taoist sects in the mainland, there are not many who are strong enough and willing to support the Anhe Taoist sect. Taking the southeast region as an example, the three sects of Qi, Zhou, and Guo all support the Wu sect. The only one with a neutral attitude is the Chumen. Zhenren Yuan and I are old friends. , so I came here just to see if any of the Chumen disciples are willing to switch to Anhe Daomen?
This is very difficult. After all, Anhe's ship is now dilapidated and weather-beaten. No monk with real foresight is willing to get on the ship, and I look down on those who want to get on the ship. I haven't gained much in the past few months... "
When Hou Zi heard this, he suddenly understood the suggestion that Tan Xiao had told him about a small road. Master Xiao had been here for several months, and a true disciple like Tan Xiao must have known his purpose, so he had this idea. That said, it's not just nonsense.
It's just that this kind of thing is easy to say, but very troublesome to operate, especially for him, a so-called low-level person. It has made him as embarrassed as a domestic slave with the third surname.
"If it weren't for the question of true disciple, I probably wouldn't have met you, and the question of your identity would have ended in vain.
But since God’s will has allowed me to see you, then why not follow God’s will?”
There is one thing that Master Xiao has not said clearly because he is not sure, that is, through the changes in the continent in recent decades and the results of his prayers, he has a hunch that there seems to be a possibility that the shackles of heaven and earth in the Splendid Continent may be loosened?
This is not entirely based on intuitive guessing, but also the result of the prayers of various Taoist traditions and forces in various countries on the mainland. Many magical things that were unimaginable before have been successively dropped, such as the earth spirit beads of the Yiren tribe.
For him, who is proficient in the mysteries of magic, he even has a feeling that the key to unlocking all this seems to be related to Anhe Daomen?
Therefore, the true position of Anhe Daomen has been given a new meaning, which makes people think a lot?
Under such circumstances, as one of the five infant transformation ancestors of the Anhe Taoist Sect, he certainly hopes to arrange for his own people to go in so that he can rest assured. And he does have such a right. At least among the five true disciples of the Anhe Taoist Sect, he has Determine the qualifications for one of them.
Finding the right candidate is a big problem. He can't find one within Anhe, and it's hard to make people feel at ease when looking for someone from the outside. This time when he accidentally encountered this lying person who was released when he was still in the pulsating stage, he suddenly realized that he was actually Is there an additional option?
Loyalty? It’s not a big problem. This can be seen from the fact that he and the Wu sect are fighting each other. It’s false to say anything else. Only life and death can clearly see a person’s ideological tendency. He may not be completely loyal to Anhe Taoist sect, but As a peaceful person, there is no doubt that his heart is at peace.
Ability? Very outstanding. Only one person can overturn the sea in Lizhi Sea, tearing apart Wu Sect's maritime power for many years and surviving. This is not something ordinary people can do. There are few disciples of the Anhe Taoist Sect who can do this. The hero of the incident.
