The young Taoist priest gently pushed away the female crown next to him, stood on the steps of the pavilion, looked down at Qi Xuansu, and said: "Although our Taoist sect never punishes crimes based on words, it does not include deceiving people's hearts and deceiving people with evil words. I think you
The two of them are just misleading people with their evil words and have ulterior motives."
Yao Pei doesn't like to be ostentatious, but he also doesn't like to keep a low profile. He asked directly: "Who are you?"
The Taoist priest recognized that both of them were Taoist priests of the Fourth Grade Wine Festival, but he was still a little wary, so he moved out directly and asked: "Is this your first time coming to the Wanshou Chongyang Palace? My father is the chief assistant of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace."
Yao Pei's response was only three words: "Very good."
No matter how much she heard in her study, nothing was as real as what she saw with her own eyes.
Qi Xuansu asked softly: "I know who the chief assistant of Wanxiang Taoist Palace is, but who is the chief assistant of Wanshou Chongyang Palace?" .??.
Yao Pei said: "Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between the first and second auxiliary assistants. However, some auxiliary assistants are highly respected and have a more respected status, so they are also called the chief auxiliary assistants, such as Mr. Sun.
From this point of view, this person’s father should be Zhang Fuli’s religious spirit.”
The young Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
This kind of topic "Who is my father?" If you say it from your own mouth, you will undoubtedly be inferior. Only if you say it from the mouth of others, it can have a shocking effect.
Yao Pei continued: "This Zhang Fuli was born in the Zhang family. His real name is Zhang Kuling. He is extremely talented. He has practiced the 'Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa' since he was a child. His thunder method is used in actual combat attacks. He is very powerful. When competing with his brothers,
, he won more than he lost, and he originally had a great future. However, he was involved in Zhang Wuhen's affairs many years ago and was ignored by the Zhang family. In anger, he left the Zhang family and joined Zhengyi, joined Quanzhen Taoism, and changed his name to Zhang.
The spiritual master valued him and made him the assistant counselor of Wanshou Chongyang Palace."
Qi Xuansu understood. Previously, he was surprised that the Earth Master treated Zhang Yuelu too well. Now it seems that the Earth Master is definitely not acting on a whim, but has always liked to recruit people from the Zhang family. Before Zhang Yuelu, there was already Zhang Jiaoling.
As a precedent, even Zhang Yuelu had the idea of joining Quanzhen Taoism.
Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu is also an outstanding talent who transferred from Zhengyi Taoism to Quanzhen Taoism.
If Qi Xuansu was a heavenly master, he would probably have to ask the earthly master face to face: What's wrong with you, that you're just trying to steal our family's wool?
In addition, there is Li Minghuang, the adopted son of the Li family, who was originally the son-in-law of the Zhang family, but later transferred to Taiping Road and became the adopted son of the Li family. From a young age, the Zhang family paid too much attention to family inheritance and despised the construction of orthodox traditions. It is no wonder that Zhengyi Yiyi
The river is declining day by day, and it has gradually become the bottom of the three rivers.
Now comparing the three Taoism, Quanzhen Taoism has the largest number of people and the strongest overall strength, but it is also the loosest. There are many internal factions and conflicts, making it difficult to integrate. Taiping Taoism is second only to Quanzhen Taoism in terms of number and strength, but with the Li family
As the central backbone, they are united and united as one, and have fewer conflicts. Instead, they are the most powerful and aggressive. The last one is the Zhengyi Tao. In terms of strength, the number of people is not as good as Quanzhen Taoism, but in terms of unity, it is
Unanimity is not as good as Taiping Dao, and the Zhang family is too rigid, falling to the bottom of the Three Daos, and has been on the defensive in the dispute between Zhang and Li.
This can also be seen from the ranking of Jinque. Master Donghua is the chief counselor, Master Qingwei is the second counselor, and Master Cihang is the third counselor.
However, this does not mean that Zheng Yiyi has become a withered bone in the grave. It is still one of the legs of the tripod and cannot be replaced.
Putting aside the Zhengdao for the time being, let’s just talk about the Quanzhen Tao and the Taiping Tao. They are similar to the Jin Dynasty and the Golden Horde. There is no doubt that the Jin Dynasty’s national power is stronger, but it is defeated by the Golden Horde cavalry whose national power is far inferior to its own.
You have to throw away your helmet and armour. The Taiping Way is similar to the Golden Tent, and the Quanzhen Way is similar to the Jin Dynasty.
Even in a sense, Quanzhen Taoism is like a miniature Taoist sect. It can also be divided into several factions, including the Yao family, the Pei family, and the Qi family, as well as the Xu family, the Shangguan family, and the Ji family.
The slightly less powerful aristocratic families, as well as the Wanshou Chongyang Palace faction directly affiliated with the Earth Master, are similar to the lineage of the Great Master. They obey the orders of the Earth Master, but it does not mean that they are from the same family as the Yao family where the Earth Master was born.
.
On the other hand, in Taiping Road, the Li family is the main body, followed by the Shen family and the Lu family as the right-hand men. There is no other force with enough influence.
The difficulty of integrating the two is naturally different.
The current situation of Quanzhen Taoism is that the Yao family and the Pei family have formed an alliance, with the Earth Master as the main body and Donghua Zhenren as the supplement, with the intention of integrating the entire Quanzhen Taoism.
Regardless of the Grand Master, the Earth Master will hand the Quanzhen Tao into the hands of Master Donghua, who will then hand the Quanzhen Tao into the hands of Yao Pei, who was born in the Yao family, thus realizing the rotation between the two families.
Although not as powerful as the Zhang family, the Li family's sole control can further strengthen the centralization of power, end the situation where several families take turns taking charge, enhance the continuity of various policies, and further unite the Quanzhen Tao.
Most other families are not willing to do this. They dare not openly oppose the Earth Master and Master Donghua, but it is not difficult to deal with the fledgling Yao Pei.
It’s just that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Zhang Yuelu was restricted by her Xiaozong background and had no help from her family. However, Zhengyiyi was relatively harmonious. She got help from Zhengyiyi through her own efforts. Yao Pei had two families.
We try our best to help, but we have to face other resistance from within Quanzhen Tao.
What a coincidence. Although Zhang Jiaoling was single-handedly promoted by the Earth Master and admired Donghua Zhenren, it did not mean that he would admire the younger generation of the Earth Master. He had become very close to the Qi family over the years. It was only because of the external influence of Taiping Dao.
Under pressure, the opposition voices within Quanzhen Tao were temporarily suppressed, and the two sides were still able to work together when dealing with foreign enemies.
Yao Pei met Zhang Jiaoling's son at this time, and it seemed that they were enemies.
"Zhang Jiaoling's son
Son, according to the seniority of our Quanzhen Tao, it should be the Yong generation. If we follow the Zhang family's seniority, it would be the Yue generation. How should I call you?" Yao Pei asked.
Hearing this, both the young Taoist priest and the female crown who was traveling with him had their faces darkened. After all, calling someone by their name is tantamount to swearing. When Yao Pei addressed Zhang Yuelu, he was referring to fellow Taoist Qingxiao, not
How about Zhang Yuelu?
However, the young Taoist priest was still somewhat calm and said in a deep voice: "I, Zhang Yongyan, have you not asked me about the names of the two of you?"
Qi Xuansu took the initiative to interject: "It's easy to say, I am Qi Xuansu, the Taoist priest in charge of Ziwei Hall. This girl is my classmate, her surname is Yao, and her last name is "Pei"." ??
There was a moment of silence in the entire pavilion.
"It turns out to be Miss Yao..." Zhang Yongyan said slowly.
Yao Pei said: "Don't call me Miss. You can call me Yao Daoyou, or you can call me Yao Pei. You just said that I made arrogant opinions about Taoism and confuse the public with my evil words. Is it your intention or your father's?"
Zhang Yongyan was silent for a moment, then took the initiative to submissive and said: "I didn't know it was Miss Yao just now. How offended I am, please forgive Miss Yao."
Although the two were of the same generation, he was not qualified to compete with Yao Pei.
Yao Pei said calmly: "The same words, when spoken from other people's mouths, are false opinions, and when spoken from Yao Pei's mouth, it is a misunderstanding. Is this what you mean?"
Zhang Yongyan didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent.
After all, Yao Pei was not Zhang Yuelu, so he did not continue to delve into this point. He pointed at the many female crowns beside Zhang Yongyan: "What is their relationship with you?"
"We are all seniors and sisters, coming out to enjoy the scenery together." Zhang Yongyan said bravely.
Yao Pei said expressionlessly: "The Earth Master intends for me to start as the assistant manager of Wanshou Chongyang Palace. I will be mainly responsible for rectifying the internal and external atmosphere. I hope Brother Zhang Dao will not disappoint me."
Zhang Yongyan's face turned pale.
Yao Pei's eyes fell on a very young female crown, and asked: "Are these also senior sisters?"
Zhang Yongyan hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's...a nephew."
Yao Pei's face was still expressionless: "Taoists don't punish crimes based on words, but they punish crimes based on actions. I believe Brother Dao Zhang will not let me down. Brother Dao Qi, let's go."
Qi Xuansu, who was watching the show from the side, laughed, which was extremely harsh.
Zhang Yongyan, who did not dare to react to Yao Pei's anger, immediately hated Qi Xuansu and took a deep look at Qi Xuansu, as if he wanted to remember Qi Xuansu's appearance in his heart.
The Yao Pei family has a high background, good qualifications, and a bright future. After all, I, Zhang Yongyan, am not Zhang Yuelu. I cannot afford to offend this daughter of the Yao family. I have to bow my head under the eaves. I admit it.
But who do you think you are and how dare you laugh at me?
Because Zhang Jiaoling was on good terms with the Qi family, Zhang Yongyan was also on good terms with all the children of the Qi family. He was very sure that the person in front of him was not a member of the Qi family.
In today's Taoist sect, although the slogan of equality is loud and clear, when it comes to practice, can children of aristocratic families and orphans from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace really get along as equals?
This is just like the "world of great harmony" of Confucianism, with flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, and castles in the sky.
There are thresholds for the children of these aristocratic families. What is your surname, what is the rank of the old man, and how did your ancestors get rich? This is very important. It has to do with where you come from. If you are a new upstart, they will not be able to enter their eyes.
.
As for how to define the nouveau riche, it usually goes back to before Xuansheng defeated Confucianism. This also makes sense, because people who followed Xuansheng before defeating Confucianism have become a trend after arriving at Zhongxing Daomen, and they generally live in the thirty-sixth year.
He is one of the real people who know the truth.
In the eyes of some aristocratic families, those who join the Taoist sect after defeating the Confucian sect are not worth mentioning, because the most difficult period of the Taoist sect has passed by then, and they are about to take over the world, so they cannot be considered elders.
If you ask about the deeds of your ancestors, it will involve various sects and complicated histories.
For example, if someone with a surname other than Li said that my ancestors followed Xuansheng as early as the second year of Tianbao, it would be a lie. Because the second year of Tianbao was the darkest year for Xuansheng, and he suffered
He suffered the biggest setback in his life, a great change, and his allies were destroyed. He was the only one to survive, and he also lost his realm. The Li family also deposed him as the heir. It can be said that everyone was betrayed, and Xuan Sheng had to hide from the world and live in seclusion.
It has been four years. Who would follow a loser at this time? So it is false at first glance.
Therefore, not everyone can enter this kind of aristocratic family circle. Just a few simple conversations will reveal the secret immediately if you have not studied that period of history in depth, and most of the aristocratic family members are self-taught.
In fact, this kind of threshold is not obvious in Zhengyi Road and Taiping Road, because the Zhang family and the Li family are pressing down, and no one can cross these two families. It is inevitably a bit ridiculous to set up this kind of threshold, and the Zhang family and the Li family can even go back.
By the time Taoism was first established, the threshold was already high enough, so there was no need to do anything extra.
But in Quanzhen Tao, where fish and dragons are mixed, the barriers are extremely tight.
Although Zhang Yongyan is not a native of the Quanzhen Taoist family like Qi Jianyuan, because his father Zhang Jiaoling has a respected status, has an equal relationship with Qi Jiaozheng, the master of Shuzhou Taoist government, and is from the Zhang family, so
Zhang Yongyan was easily accepted by the upper-class circles within Quanzhen Taoism.
Because of this, he dared to travel openly with all the beauties at the feet of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and he looked down on Qi Xuansu, even though Qi Xuansu was already a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest.
Qi Xuansu was not afraid and laughed it off.
The two continued to climb the mountain, Qi Xuansu said: "Cousin, is this the Quanzhen Taoist lady you want to introduce to your cousin?"
Without saying a word, Yao Pei suddenly quickened his pace.
