In the prince's residence in the capital, there is a quiet place covered with bamboo trees. It is the residence assigned to the old white-browed Taoist priest by the prince. In terms of tranquility and comfort, even the prince's own pavilion cannot match this place.
The white-browed old Taoist master entered the golden elixir. This time, he was just feeling the changes in the country's national destiny and seemed to be on the decline, so he went to the capital at the prince's invitation to try to smooth the country's situation. He didn't bring many powerful men down the mountain, except for the prince who invited him to see him on weekdays.
He didn't go out either, but today he received a guest.
"Master Nephew, what's going on today?" The white-browed old man asked, sitting upright on a futon, thinking about ideas without opening his eyes.
The guest has a pale skin and gray hair, and looks very old. At first glance, he looks much older than the old Taoist with white eyebrows. Although the old Taoist with white eyebrows has no hair and beard, his skin is as smooth as a newborn baby, his face is rosy, and his spirit is different.
But if you look closely, you can feel that there is a vague power in this guest's body, which prevents the body from decaying and old age. He is Bai Yu, the master of the Taoist Temple in the capital, and like Wang Chuchen, who is half a step golden elixir, and he once had unlimited glory.
, he was arrogant to his peers, but he did not survive the Golden Core Tribulation and almost fell. Even the Tao Yun he originally comprehended collapsed, and his strength declined immeasurably. Otherwise, he would not have been pushed out of the inner gate and sent to the capital to become the master of the temple.
.
But Bai Yu's talent is indeed enviable. After his original Taoist charm collapsed, he experienced changes in his life and the harsh climate of the world. His arrogance was reduced a lot. He actually re-understood a new Taoist charm and continued to practice all the way. Now he is a half-step golden elixir.
, just one final step away.
"Uncle Master, we have found out the power of heaven and earth that swept the whole city before. There must be monks who are responsible for seizing the body." Bai Yu respected the old Taoist Baimei very much and explained every bit of what he discovered in detail.
came out.
He will never forget the scene when he failed to overcome the tribulation and was rejected by everyone. It was the white-browed old Taoist who left a way for him to survive and promoted him to the Taoist temple in the capital as the temple leader during the sect's affairs. Otherwise, he might not even have the chance to make a comeback now.
nor.
The old Taoist Bai Mei nodded lightly and didn't take it to heart. Bai Yu was not surprised when he saw this. The old Taoist Bai Mei was a big shot at the third level of the golden elixir. He was about to break the elixir and become a baby. Not to mention he was just a monk with no way out who was forced to seize his body.
Even Jin Dan's peers may not be able to make any waves in his heart.
The main purpose of meeting the old man with white eyebrows today is not Wu Yi's matter. This is just an excuse to the outside world. The key is the birthday of the king in the next few days. How to negotiate a palace coup that may involve mutiny.
Solve it with a smile, this matter is related to the fate of the country, and even the white-browed old Taoist has to deal with it carefully, otherwise the country will be shaken, public opinion will be fierce, and the monk who instigated this matter will not necessarily end well.
Bai Yu took out a bamboo slip from somewhere. The bamboo slip was green and sparkling, and it looked like something extraordinary at first glance.
The old Taoist Bai Mei opened his eyes at this time, and did not pick it up with his hands. Instead, he saw his eyes were like torches, shooting a ray of light into the bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips were shaking, as if someone was reading them. After three breaths, the old Taoist Bai Mei breathed out.
But with a sharp look in his eyes, he said coldly: "The people in the cave are also involved. This is a family matter of my Ping family, so my hand is stretched too far."
One Qi family governs the Three Kingdoms, and recruits disciples mainly in these three kingdoms. Dayu Kingdom is just one of them. Among them, the royal families of the three kingdoms are all listed in the Thirty-six Rich and Prominent Families. Of course, although they are collectively called the Thirty-Six Rich and Prominent Families, there are also some
There are twelve great families and twenty-four noble families, and the royal families of the Three Kingdoms are listed among the twenty-four noble families.
This emphasis on birth and surname within the Yiqi Sect has also led some other small families to make many lists later. However, not to mention that they have not been recognized by the public, the families on those small lists have only been prosperous for tens or hundreds of years.
, not as good as these thirty-six wealthy and distinguished families, whose fortunes lasted for thousands of years, with endless heirs spread all over the world, each of them numbering in the millions.
This is the power of an aristocratic family. Opposing the aristocratic family is the master-disciple power, which is divided into five caves and twelve blessed lands. It recruits countless poor children with mediocre backgrounds but extraordinary talents, and even children from aristocratic families who have rebelled against the family.
The white-browed old Taoist would know that the current predicament of Dayu Country will definitely attract the master and apprentice Dongtian lineage to come out to interfere. Even if it can't accomplish anything big, disrupting his arrangements and humiliating the Ping clan will be a happy thing.
Of course, the most likely possibility is to use this as an exchange to get benefits from the Ping clan. After all, if war breaks out in Dayu Kingdom and new disciples are recruited from time to time, disrupting the inheritance, neither party can afford it, unless it is his Ping clan who will govern the country.
The anger of heaven and the resentment of people made the sect have no choice but to stir up trouble and force the Ping family to abdicate, but this was obviously impossible given the popularity of the Emperor among the people.
The white-browed old Taoist thought about it in a circle and guessed the thoughts of the master-disciple lineage. In fact, this kind of matter was solved in this way in the past. There was nothing to say. It was just that the benefits of the separation had to be carefully considered.
Just when the old Taoist Baimei was thinking about it, a flying sword flew from the outside world to Bai Yu. Bai Yu's consciousness hurriedly passed by it, his face changed, and he put away the flying sword.
The white-browed Taoist saw the change in Bai Yu's face and asked, "What happened?"
"Uncle Master, the disciple I sent to guard the Taoist Duo She came back to write and said that the breaths in the guard's body were fighting, and it seemed that the Taoist Duo She was unstable."
The old Taoist with white eyebrows sneered disdainfully and said: "You are really incompetent."
Knowing that the white-browed old Taoist was laughing at the golden elixir monk who had seized the body, even the younger generation could not suppress it. Generally speaking, the real difficulty in seizing a body is to deal with the sniper attacks from the power of heaven and earth, making the world believe that the original monk is dead.
They are not the same person, but after hearing the news, Bai Yu had another idea.
"Uncle Master, the disciple who was taken away is called Wu Yi. He was introduced to the mountain gate by Wang Chuchen, the master of Yiqi Taoist Temple in Liucheng. He was very attentive to the teachings."
The white-browed old Taoist's originally upright body leaned down slightly when he heard the words, his expression was as usual, and he asked: "You are talking about Wang Chuchen, the disciple you really want to recruit on Lingya."
Bai Yu was too scared to look directly at the white-browed Taoist's hawk-like eyes, but he still nodded firmly and said: "I dare not deceive my uncle. It is indeed Wang Chuchen who was expelled from the inner sect three years ago."
The old Taoist with white eyebrows stroked his white beard and said: "Is this so? I need to be rescued. Take me there without further delay."
Bai Yu was shocked by the sudden move of the old Taoist Baimei. In his mind, he just wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that the old Taoist Baimei would have such a big reaction, which was unexpected. In his heart, Wu Yi was just a Taoist who had lost his power.
He was just a disciple. Hearing that Wang Chuchen might have a glimpse into the secret of the golden elixir, he offered the old Taoist Baimei a favor, but he didn't really expect that the old Taoist Baimei would go there.
However, the old Taoist Baimei is a monk of the third major level of Jindan, and has access to more inside information of the sect. Three years ago, Lingya Shangzhen was promoted to the cave heaven stage, which is already the pinnacle of the world. He has the strength to open the cave heaven paradise, but Lingya Shangzhen
It is really rare to recruit apprentices, and there are not even many people who work as sweepers under the disciples.
Once I heard that Lingya Shangzhen was enlightened in the cave, I don’t know how many monks in the sect wanted to become the disciple of Lingya Shangzhen. No matter how many masters and disciples were eager to do so, in order to calm down the matter, even the head of the Yiqi Sect told Lingya about it.
Yashangzhen managed to get a few spots.
But Lingya Shangzhen himself preferred Wang Chuchen as his eldest disciple, but Wang Chuchen was just building a foundation at that time. At that time, even a third-level golden elixir monk like Baimei Laodao didn't know how many people wanted to become Lingya Shangzhen's sect.
, it should be noted that they may not be lacking in qualifications, but they do not have many resources in their own cave or family. In order to go further, they are willing to worship the true disciples of Lingya Shang, and this matter is no matter whether they are from aristocratic families or master-disciple lines.
It’s all support, and there’s even an exchange of interests behind the scenes, because if one of his own children becomes the sect of Lingya Shangzhen, it will be easier for him to have good relations with Lingya Shangzhen in the future, and the help of a Dongtian period is enough to turn the situation around.
With such a group of wolf-like brothers in front of him, Wang Chuchen was not strong enough to convince the crowd, so Wang Chuchen was pushed out of the inner sect and came to the outer sect to be the temple master. But there is still some spirit in it.
The real intention of protecting Wang Chuchen on the cliff is that if he still stays in the inner sect, he will be protected by the real protector on the spiritual cliff. However, Wang Chuchen, a minor foundation builder, is still being plotted because at this time, it is the resistance of the entire sect.
, even Lingya Shangzhen has to deal with it carefully, after all, one must follow the rules of the sect.
Wang Chuchen cannot enter the golden elixir and cannot return to the inner sect, nor can he become a true disciple on Lingya. This is the real compromise on Lingya. What is behind it is the idea that the strong are respected in the monastic world. Wang Chuchen needs to use his own power.
His strength proves that he can become a great disciple.
Seeing this, the other Shangzhen didn't want to interfere too much with Lingya Shangzhen's recruitment of disciples, so they each arranged several well-qualified disciples to join Lingya Shangzhen's sect as registered disciples. Only when Wang Chuchen became the eldest disciple could they formally enter the school.
This turmoil is still shaking to this day. After all, Wang Chuchen has not yet become a golden elixir. Wang Chuchen’s trip to the outer sect is more like his real experience on Lingya, but Wang Chuchen himself may not know it.
, after considering his master’s background, he still regarded himself as a master and disciple. The master and disciple were happy to see this, but the family lineage would not be revealed. Waiting for Wang Chuchen to find out by himself, he might fall down by then.
To his family lineage.
It is a pity that the white-browed old Taoist did not get the opportunity to become a real registered disciple on Lingya. It can be foreseen that once Wang Chuchen enters the golden elixir, those registered disciples will be able to become official disciples as long as they do not commit suicide. The true inheritance of the first generation of Dongzhenren, how impressive
What an enviable title.
Even if you don't get the true favor from Lingya, it would be good to have a good relationship with Wang Chuchen. The old Taoist Bai Mei who rushed to Wu Yi with the flying magic weapon thought to himself.
Just walking in the sky in the capital is casting a concealment spell. Mortals cannot see it, but people with the same cultivation level can still see it. Not long after, there is a rainbow light following behind. It is obviously a sword escape.
It takes time to get close to them.
The white-browed old Taoist secretly hated himself for not asking about this matter earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so hasty and intercepted by his comrades, but he remained expressionless and stopped flying, waiting for the comrades behind him, preparing to persuade this generation to come back, not to let them
What a great opportunity to share your own merits and save Wang Chuchen's disciples.
I just hope that this generation is not very well-informed. The old Taoist with white eyebrows held a fly whisk, squeezed the handle tightly, and prayed in his heart.
"Friend Dao Ping, long time no see." The visitor appeared with a flying cloud crown on his head, wearing a red sun robe on the mountains and rivers, and a flying sword under his feet with blazing light.
The old Taoist with white eyebrows made a sign and said: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Xie Yi. Why don't you practice in Qingyang Cave and come here to take a rest?"
Xie Yi was not disturbed by the white-browed old Taoist, so he gave a perfunctory hum and asked: "Why are fellow Taoists so anxious? What are you going to do? I wonder if I can help."
The old Taoist with white eyebrows chuckled, pointed at Bai Yu and said: "It's okay. My nephew, Bai Yu, has obtained a Taoist book and invited me to watch and read it. If there is nothing wrong, fellow Taoist, you can go with us."
Xie Yimu said with deep meaning: "It's a coincidence. I heard that there was a murderer in the temple of Senior Nephew Bai Yu who snatched away a junior monk. I want to bring the villain to justice."
The white-browed old Taoist's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this generation already knew about it, so he pretended to be generous and said with a smile on his face, "If this happens, then let's go together."
