Hou Zi was very grateful, because he knew that it was inappropriate for him to explain to the orthodox people around him.
He is the leader of a religion, and he should be the last one to sign on things like negotiations, instead of going into battle bare-chested and bickering with others. If he comes on stage, there will be no room for maneuvering if he can't agree.
If others come forward, at worst they can say: This matter is not within my scope of authority, I have to go back and discuss it with the leader, and so on.
Moreover, his realm is also flawed, making it difficult for people to treat him as a complete equal.
Watching Zhenren Wei's retreating figure, he felt the warmth from the Taoist tradition for the first time in more than a hundred years since he joined the religion. It was not easy after so many years.
At the same time, he also realized that there were too many things he didn't know about the fog hidden behind history. In fact, the people he should be most grateful to for being able to stand in this position were these old masters.
Although they have never stood up to support him openly, give themselves a platform, and wave the flag for themselves, their silence and patience are the most important guarantees for his success.
At least, most of them are.
Thinking about it from another angle, not to mention the big Taoist forces in Jinxiu, even in the small country of Zuoer, I have never heard of any golden elixir that can surpass Nascent Soul and take over the power of an Taoist tradition. Even if the external forces come down and the cultivation pattern changes, it will not be possible. It has not changed to such a subversive level.
The Quanzhen Sect is able to do this, and it is the first of its kind in the history of Splendid Cultivation. One can imagine the dedication behind these old masters.
But he regarded all of this as just a personal struggle, and acted like it should have been.
Real people are giving in to him!
Of course, it may be that he has to make concessions for the future of Jianmai. He is very fortunate that Jianmai Taoism still has an impact on the monks' character. Although it is not as obvious as the Qingkong Jianmai, the rebelliousness in his bones is still there. It has always existed, so there is such an incredible story that he, a golden elixir, climbed to become the leader of a religion.
This may be a personal inspirational story, but it should also be a story shared by the entire Taoist tradition. He was very fortunate that everyone still stood together in the end.
No one should be abandoned. Everyone has value. Some people are eye-catching, while others are low-key and silent.
...The fire has been completely extinguished. Shi La Shi Bu Shi Zhu and other prestigious Jin Dan gathered around. They really want to know what to do next? Destroy the country and destroy the orthodoxy? Or some other way?
Hou Zi did not answer them directly, "You tell yourselves, now that we have conquered Dai Tao Kingdom, what should we do? Shi La, you come first!"
Now Shi La has completely calmed down. He has been thinking about this issue while putting out the fire. He knows very well that the leader cannot stay in the grassland forever. Relatively speaking, the pressure over Quanzhen will be greater, unlike here in the grassland. Relatively pure and simple.
Without the leader, many urgent matters require them to make decisions, but there can be no such mindless impulsiveness as it will kill everyone.
"I think it is not realistic for the current grassland to completely swallow up Dai Tao. Our manpower is not strong enough to do this. Instead, we will become the target of public criticism and the target of joint suppression by surrounding forces. We cannot resist..."
Shibu also said: "The resistance of the Dai Tao Bone-setting Sect is very fierce. They have been cultivating here for thousands of years and have a popular base. The things of us grassland people are not suitable here.
If you want to take over, you have to kill them thoroughly, and the bloody killing will trigger reactions from others. This is a knot that cannot be untied, at least for the time being!"
Shi Zhu stroked his long beard. He was very pleased. At least these young people knew how to advance and retreat. In fact, it is not difficult for practitioners to do this. Reading and observing history is everyone's growth experience. To understand the differences between these ordinary dynasties, Is it difficult to understand the choice?
"There is no difference between exclusive ownership or co-management, and neither is desirable. Instead of being tied here in a dilemma, why not take the initiative to give away this hot potato and make it difficult for others?
We can spread the news to the surrounding Taoist forces and explain the whole story of the dispute. After the fight is over, we will of course return to the grassland. As for the riddled Dai Tao Kingdom, we will leave it to our fellow Taoists in the north to discuss the future. They are Whether it's carving up or supporting each other, we don't care..."
Shi Lak laughed and said, "Let them eat dogs!"
Hou Tzu waved his hand, "Look, isn't this handled well? It not only shows the toughness of our grassland, but also does not care about the right and wrong afterwards, and dispels the suspicion of the surrounding forces to the greatest extent; you must know that our roots are In the grassland, we are nothing without the grassland. Can we develop our basic cultivation system in a place without a grassland cultural foundation? If not, what is the use of it?"
Lowering his voice, he said, "Establishing a Taoist country is a long process and cannot be accomplished overnight. How can the division of power for thousands of years be broken in one blow and convince everyone? Your current strength is still far from the Quanzhen Sect. It's also a bit out of reach.
But I can tell you that it is unrealistic to temporarily occupy other countries. Our main goal within sixty years is to completely turn the grassland into our territory and reach an agreement with the surrounding forces to establish this."
Everyone was excited. Yes, the grassland is too messy, intertwined with the surrounding countries, and there are too many unclear places. If we can really demarcate the boundaries and let the grassland become its own country, this will be a realistic and meaningful thing, rather than a hope. Eat a fat man in one go.
The territory is very important, but the people are even more important. The people with grassland beliefs are their roots.
The Grassland Sword Veins retreated, not only extinguishing the fire at Zhenggushan Gate, but also simply tidying it up. Of course, they also helped Zhenggushan Gate tidy up their warehouse... Face is face, and lining is lining. This is the rule of the world of cultivation. .
The bone-setting monks looked at the devastated mountain gate and were about to cry. Fortunately, everyone saved their lives. The sword-setting monks did not attack these minor foundation-building cultivators, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Within a few days, bone-setting sect Jindan monks continued to return, inquiring about news, handling internal affairs, and anxiously waiting for the further development of the situation.
Then, the Grassland Sword Veins spread to all countries, explaining the ins and outs of this war and promising not to destroy the country and destroy the Tao.
The minds of the bone-setting monks were finally at peace, but countless troubles followed one after another. Two Nascent Souls and the Strength Golden Pill were lost in this battle. How to balance the internal power?
People from the surrounding forces keep coming, adding sand to the situation under the guise of helping. Each has its own target to support, and it becomes a mess.
A common wish is that since this is already the case, let it always be like this.
A soft persimmon that is not threatening is the sweetest persimmon to everyone.
