In the Zichen Hall, Tianshi Chen suddenly became interested in talking, and said to Li Dayin: "Our sect comes from Longhu Mountain, but Longhu Mountain is headed by the Zhang family, and those who are not named Zhang will have a more difficult time on the path of cultivation.
"
After a pause, as if he was recalling something, Chen Tianshi continued: "When your master was young, he was a top figure among the Golden elixir masters of Longhu Mountain. He also made a big name outside the mountain and was recognized as the leader of Longhu Mountain.
The first among the younger generation. But when the golden elixir transforms into spiritual consciousness, it needs to be entrusted with the life talisman. At that time, there were seven Zhengyi Alliance Mighty Dalu on the mountain. You should have heard of this..."
Li Dayin nodded: "That is the great mountain guard of Longhu Mountain."
Chen Tianshi said: "After your master's trial, it was confirmed that it can be consistent with the Taishang Jiuyi River Diagram. This is an extremely rare thing. However, it is a pity that another uncle who also entrusted his life is also suitable for this big treasure.
So your great master came forward and asked your master to get out of the way. After this incident, your master understood that it would be difficult for people with foreign surnames to get ahead in Longhu Mountain, so he gradually alienated Longhu Mountain and established his own business outside. But one
It is extremely difficult to practice without the support of a sect outside the country. Your master spent an unknown amount of energy to enter the realm of refining, and it was only after entering the realm that he accepted his disciples."
Li Dayin said: "Master, this journey of cultivation is really not easy."
Tianshi Chen nodded and said: "I am not saying so much to make you hold grudge against Longhu Mountain, but I want to tell you that if our sect cannot find its own path of cultivation, the avenue will eventually be hopeless and the inheritance will be difficult to continue, because we have no foundation.
.Then where is our foundation? It lies in change!”
"That's what you always say, teacher, return the secular to the secular."
Chen Tianshi nodded: "Our sect has been working hard for this before. Your master has traveled in many directions, and finally prompted the True Master Hall to reach a decision, and this road has become much wider. But in fact, both your master and me, we all understand
, the reasons why many seniors do not object for the time being are, firstly, because of a hundred years of worries, secondly, because of the power of your master, and thirdly, because of the promise of your master, so they can only choose to agree, or at least not object. Therefore, we
This branch needs to cheer up more, come up with some new trends, and let everyone in the world see that this road to change is not impossible."
Li Dayin said: "Disciples will definitely hold the practice ball competition well and give the world a sign of prosperity."
Chen Tianshi said: "It is not only a sign of prosperity, but also a source of trust. At first, I didn't take it seriously as a teacher, but over the past few days, I have gradually felt that there is a lot of mystery in this matter. Maybe the competition is held, which will help stabilize Zhili."
It is very beneficial to your trust, so my teacher greatly approves of your move. Where did you come up with this idea?"
Li Dayin replied: "The incident of Wei Zhizhen's sword test in the Zongsheng Hall the year before last caused a sensation in the entire cultivation world. The disciples saw it and have been thinking about it. After thinking about it, they felt that they should imitate the sword test and use the practice ball as a weapon.
When the game is broken, there is a training ball competition."
Tianshi Chen nodded in approval: "Not only is the idea a good one, but also you know how to bring others together to do it. If what I expected is right, there is Zhao Zhiran behind the Qingyun Pavilion, right?"
Li Dayin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Teacher knows things like a god, and I really can't hide it from him. This matter was indeed discussed with Zhao Zhiran at first. Firstly, he wanted to borrow his old method, and secondly, he wanted to use his "Junshan Notes"
". But the disciple is afraid that the teacher will not like it, so..."
Chen Tianshi said: "What a little thought of yours... As long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner, how can I not like it? It is true that I don't like Zhao Zhiran, but it is undeniable that he is indeed outstanding and can be informal.
If you like and learn from the other person's strengths, a teacher will only encourage you, but of course he won't blame you."
Li Dayin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Tianshi added: "Today is different from the past. Times have changed, and the teachings of Taoism have changed according to the situation. Those who opposed us in the past, because of the general trend, either stopped their objections and were ready to watch indifferently, or they were flattering.
They plan to attach themselves to the tail. No matter what the purpose is, no matter what their intentions are, don't push people outside. Use them if they can be used, and don't make enemies easily if they can't."
"yes."
"The main reason I have called you here is to give you a warning. Now that the government of the three provinces has been returned to the imperial court, no matter what the imperial court does, you should not interfere as easily as before. Whether it is good or bad is up to him."
Li Dayin hesitated and said: "The Confucian cultivators from Chaotian Palace..."
Tianshi Chen said coldly: "Where is the true Confucianism in this world? It is just one of the Taoist laws. When it is needed, it will naturally come into being. When it is not needed, it will naturally perish. This is the way of heaven."
Returning to Xiangluxuan, the junior brother came up to report: "Just now, Master Xiaoyao from Lingji Palace came to see the senior brother. The senior brother was not here, so he went back. By the way, he came to sign up for Zhang Tengming of Longhu Mountain. Senior brother, from Longhu Mountain."
My son, do you think you should hold a wild card to avoid the audition?"
Li Dayin hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly: "Start from the audition! In addition, burn all the six wild cards originally prepared and not send any one out. I will tell Zhao Zhiran and Pei Zhongze about this matter.
If you want to participate in the competition, you have to follow the rules! Otherwise, we will be in trouble with our own money bags, do you understand?"
"Understood! Also, Master Xiaoyao said that if senior brother is free in the past two days, please contact him. He, the two Taoist priests Chunfeng and Guanyun want to invite senior brother to get together."
Li Dayin shook his head: "Where can I find the time... How many people have signed up now?"
"Just a few days after "Junshan Notes" was published, many people have already signed up to participate. Thirty-two people are in the Huangguan group, seven are in the Mage group, and three are in the Archmage group."
"Don't worry, there will be more people in two days. In the afternoon, let the third junior brother take over for you, and you and I will split up. I will go to the back mountain to take a look at the renovation and expansion of the main stadium, and you will go to Xuanwu Lake to take a look at the layout of the Chaotian Palace Stadium.
You have to hold on tighter."
"yes."
As expected by Li Dayin, after another two days, more monks came to Xiangluxuan to sign up for the competition. On that day, more than 20 Huang Guan, seven mages and four archmages came to sign up. The next day,
On the third and fourth days, the number of applicants increased steadily.
At first, the applicants were mainly Huang Guan, and most of them came for the high bonuses. Later, a large number of pure enthusiasts participated, and most of them were mages and archmage.
Short of that little money, they are more willing to "make friends with the ball."
As the number of registrations for the competition increased, many applicants began to appear who came neither for money nor for the ball. They came for the reputation. Many of them had never even touched the practice ball and started learning after signing up.
.
By September 13th, the total number of registered monks in the three groups had exceeded one thousand!
