"Okay! From now on you will be a disciple of the Neidan Sect and my Qingxiazi's disciple..."
After pressing down on Kong Qing and kowtowing several times, Qingxiazi Su Yuanlang nodded with great satisfaction. With a wave of his sleeves, Kong Qing's body stood up from the ground involuntarily again.
Then, Qingxiazi reached out of her sleeves and held a jade tripod-shaped jade pendant in her claw-like hand.
"This is a token of my inner alchemy sect, please keep it!"
The corners of Kong Qing's mouth twitched, and he wordlessly pulled out the white jade whisk from his back, brushing off the non-existent dust on his body, without any intention of taking over the opponent's jade pendant.
That's right, although Kong Qing himself didn't resist finding a powerful teacher, he still couldn't accept being forced to kowtow to become a teacher.
And the most important thing is, you can kowtow to me, but can you force me to become a disciple?
"Apprentice, do you really not want it?"
Qingxiazi shook the jade pendant in her hand and said in a seductive tone. "This jade pendant is not just a token. It also contains part of the power of the Taoist. Once activated, even the Demon King will be seriously injured."
snort!
Kong Qing swept the jade pendant in Qingxiazi's hand contemptuously, and still dusted off the non-existent dust without saying a word.
He! Kong Qing, the iron-clad Taoist scholar, how could he bend his back for five buckets of rice, not to mention a jade pendant, even ten or eight more... not even!
"Okay, the apprenticeship thing just now is indeed because the old Taoist was too eager..."
After seeing that Kong Qing didn't pick up her jade pendant at all, Qingxiazi took her hand back and smiled awkwardly.
"Our Taoist sect is different from the Shamen. The seeds of true cultivation are better to be in short supply than in excess. Only those with great blessings and qualifications can enter the Tao. And since you and Taoist Xuancheng can understand the wonderful Tao from the edicts of our Danding sect and build it on your own.
Ji, it shows that you are indeed a rare genius..."
Kong Qing continued to dust, along the hem of his robe to his back, without saying a word, in silent resistance.
What happened to geniuses? Are geniuses inferior to others and forced to become disciples?
You, Qingxiazi, are an expert in the Xuanmen, not the leader of the Demonic Sect!
Seeing Kong Qing's silent expression, Qingxiazi scratched her head and felt a little troubled.
"Actually, the old Taoist came here today only at the request of Princess Pingyang to give you a self-defense object to prevent you from being harmed by some demons that sneaked into Chang'an City. And the old Taoist just forced you to kowtow because you already have a master.
, so the old Taoist is worried that you are unwilling to join our Alchemy Sect, so..."
"No need to say anything, Master Qingxia!"
Kong Qing raised his fly whisk and said calmly.
"Xiao Dao is not considered a genius, and he has no intention of trying to compete with the Neidan Sect and Master Qingxia. So you don't need to mention those who love talents but not Master Qingxia. The few kowtows just now should be regarded as Xiaodao's respect for Master Qingxia.
You are over a hundred years old, and as for joining the Danding Sect, please don’t mention it again, Master Qingxia.”
That's right, Kong Qing just wants to confront Qingxiazi...
As for whether the other party would become angry and raise his hand to kill him, Kong Qing was not worried at all.
Because a Taoist priest with more than 100 merit points cannot do such a thing.
Again, he, Qingxiazi, is an expert in the Xuanmen, not the leader of the Demonic Sect!
As for other things, could Princess Pingyang really allow herself, a person who was somewhat kind to her, to be bullied by the Taishi Ling of the Tang Dynasty?
Sure enough, after hearing Kong Qing's words, Qingxiazi suddenly didn't know how to deal with it.
In his past days, Taoist priests who were dedicated to the Tao had always wanted to become his disciple, and he had never encountered a situation where he wanted to accept a disciple but was rejected.
He turned his head and glanced at Princess Pingyang next to him, making a pleading look.
Princess Pingyang sighed slightly, and then stepped forward.
"Xiao Qingwei, what the old immortal did just now may indeed be a bit inappropriate, but after all, you and Xuancheng have learned the old immortal's decree. To a certain extent, you can indeed be regarded as members of the inner alchemy sect.
people……"
Before Princess Pingyang finished speaking, Kong Qing said with an indifferent expression.
"It's okay, I can change my practice method!"
"Nonsense! Can this thing be changed at will?"
Before Princess Pingyang could speak, Qingxiazi on the side had already stood up.
"What is meant by entering the Tao and building the foundation? It means that after you enter the Tao, your foundation has been set. If you change the practice method at this time, you will make no progress at all, or the Tao foundation will collapse..."
"It doesn't matter..."
Kong Qing still had a calm expression on his face.
"If the foundation is destroyed, just build another one!"
"you……"
Qingxiazi pointed at Kong Qing with a depressed look on her face.
"Once the Taoist base is completed, it cannot be replaced. How can it be possible to build another one?"
“That’s because others can’t do it, but I can’t do it either!”
Kong Qing still retorted unceremoniously and confidently.
That's right, with the system standing behind him, Kong Qing definitely didn't believe that he couldn't solve a mere Daoji problem on his own.
"Xiao Qingwei, don't say angry words..."
Princess Pingyang comforted the angry Qingxiazi standing next to her with her eyes, and then touched Kong Qing's head with her hand. "Although the old fairy's actions just now were reckless, they were indeed well-intentioned."
Kong Qing glanced at Princess Pingyang silently and did not refute.
Yes, he knew that Qingxiazi had good intentions just now, and he also knew that Qingxiazi was indeed passionate about talents. He also knew that in the society of the early Tang Dynasty, kowtow was just a normal etiquette, not an unbearable shame...
A thousand years later, neon politicians are anxious and still kneeling on TV!
But the problem is that Kong Qing can’t accept it!
Although he came to the early Tang Dynasty, Kong Qing was still a modern person accustomed to equality in his heart.
If you want to accept me as your disciple, you can as long as I agree!
If you want me to kowtow to you, as long as I agree, you can!
But I didn’t say I agreed, so you just forced yourself on it, no way!
Seeing the handsome little Taoist priest in front of her, Qingxiazi really wanted to just throw her hands away and walk away.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, he just couldn't move his legs.
As Li Tang's dominance of the world becomes more and more obvious, it is foreseeable that the Taoist Sect will definitely become more prosperous than before in the coming years.
But the problem is that the prosperity of the Taoist sect may not necessarily equal the prosperity of the Danding sect...
Now there is a Taoist Qi Hui from Lou Guan, a real person who has already cultivated Taoism at a young age. Moreover, when Li Tang raised his army this time, he was very discerning and even donated money and food without hesitation. Now Li Tang is looking at dominating the world.
It can be said that the prosperity of Louguan Taoism is just around the corner.
Not to mention the Shangqing Sect, which has been producing talents from generation to generation since Tao Hongjing's formation. When Wang Yuanzhi, the current Shangqing Dharma Master, was even more popular, he was not only regarded as a god by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, but also became a disciple early on.
I secretly sent talismans to Li Yuan, and I had fun placing bets on both sides. Now I am very trusted by His Majesty Li Yuan.
Moreover, after Wang Yuanzhi, rising stars such as Pan Shizheng, Xu Daomiao, Chen Yu, and Wang Gui had already appeared in the next generation of the Shangqing Sect. The glory of the Shangqing Sect seemed to be predictable.
Not to mention the Zhanxuan Sect, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, masters and apprentices, have already become famous and are traveling among the powerful in Chang'an...
But that's not the case with his Danding sect.
Up to now, apart from his Qingxia son Su Yuanlang, the only people in the whole faction who can take advantage of are Xu Ze, Kong Daomao and two or three other big cats and kittens, and whether it is Xu Ze or Kong Daomao
, are no longer young, they are all of the same generation as Wang Yuanzhi...
That's right, now the Neidan sect has fallen into a period of stagnation.
Why did Qingxiazi, a Taoist master who is a generation senior to Wang Yuanzhi, come to Li Tang from Lingnan to serve as Taishi Ling at the age of more than 100 years old? Isn't it just to expand the influence of the Inner Alchemy Sect? By the way, let's take a look.
Can Chang'an find some good seedlings?
As a result, I finally met a young Taoist priest who was talented enough to practice Taoism on his own without the guidance of a master. However, he became anxious and after kowtowing a few times, he actually fell out with him!
The old Taoist priest Su Yuanlang also felt depressed for a while now...
Old Taoist, I want to teach you Taoism. I no longer ask you to take some disgusting tests like other sects, such as making you eat shit, and even calling it a test of your Taoist heart. It’s not bad. Let’s
What’s wrong with you kowtowing a few times? Is it difficult?
is it hard!
well!
I really want to just ignore it and walk away!
But it really doesn't work. The Danding Sect can no longer bear it. If we miss this little Taoist priest today, Qingxiazi doesn't know how long it will take for her to find another candidate with such good qualifications and understanding.
I have worked hard for decades, is it possible that in the end it was just to let the Danding sect disintegrate?
This is already my last obsession...
"Okay, this is something I did wrong..."
For the sake of the inheritance of Danding Sect, Qingxiazi gritted her teeth and stood up.
"Then you tell yourself, what should I do before you are willing to sincerely join our Alchemy Sect?"
"How to do it?"
Kong Qing sneered.
"Is what Pindao said useful? Could it be that I said it's okay for you to bring Master Qingxia back to me?"
"This is what you said……"
Just when Kong Qing finished speaking, Qingxiazi lifted up her Taoist robe without hesitation and knelt down neatly.
