The power structure of Taoism has many similarities with the power system of ordinary people, but it is essentially different. The root lies in the realm of cultivation. Everything for ordinary people comes from power. After being separated from power, they have no strength at all.
, once you lose power, no matter how great you were before, now the two jailers can manipulate you at will.
But the Taoist sect is different. Even if those great masters lose the power given by the Taoist sect, they still have the realm of immortals. They themselves are huge strength and a kind of power. If they really want to leave the Taoist sect, they can immediately pull themselves up.
A team, so many political tactics cannot be used in Taoism.
This is just like in troubled times, when there are many vassal towns and how many soldiers you have, you have great power. The so-called seizing power with an imperial edict is very unrealistic. Naturally, those political methods can play a certain role, but they cannot play a decisive role.
Similarly, the power struggle within a Taoist sect will be extremely cruel. Since simply seizing power cannot kill the opponent, then directly eliminating the opponent from the physical level becomes a better choice. As the saying goes, armed with a sharp weapon but with a murderous intention, so
Many people possess dragon-slaying and killing skills, but if they don't put them to use, wouldn't they learn them in vain?
So Qi Xuansu walked along the way, and saw the flash of swords, the bloody storm, life and death, killing people at every turn, but the power struggle of ordinary people seemed tender and affectionate.
Logically speaking, the power structure should be like a pyramid in the Western Posas continent, with a small top and a big bottom, so that it can be stable. Such killings will greatly destroy its stability. But again, the existence of immortals,
It greatly violates this principle. They are like Optimus Pillars, they can support such a large structure with their own strength. Ordinary people have limited energy and have to decentralize power, but the energy of immortals is unlimited, and they can even divide it.
They have created many selves, and the only reason for them to decentralize power is that they need time to pursue higher realms of cultivation. If it really comes to the point where nothing can be done, they will at worst retreat into a structure similar to the Lingshan Witch Cult and rely on "gods"
As a person, you can overlook the common people.
Therefore, the structure of the Taoist sect appears to be extremely stable under the blessing of these giant pillars.
It is this special elimination environment that gives young people opportunities. As long as their cultivation level is high enough, their background is strong enough, and their abilities are strong enough, they will be able to get ahead without too many rules and restrictions.
Qi Xuansu became the third-grade deputy hall master. Although he did not have any actual power, it showed everyone the fact that he had cultivation, background, and ability, which meant that he had a bright future.
Outliers like Wang Danqing are in the minority after all. More people want to make friends with Qi Xuansu, but they have never found the opportunity. There is no way
, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing on the Imperial Master's ship and landed directly in the Zi Mansion. Others did not know his whereabouts at all, and even if they knew, they could not enter the Zi Mansion. After confirming his whereabouts, he had already taken the Tianshi Master's boat.
We took a boat and left Yujing.
As for how to make friends, it's nothing more than drinking, sex, and wealth.
Apart from the more special "qi", Qi Xuansu didn't pay much attention to the other three things except wealth. But even for this "wealth", Qi Xuansu wouldn't ask for it.
He didn't even ask for it in front of him, and now he won't be tempted. He understands the truth very well. If he can reach the top of Dao Sect, these are just numbers.
Gong Jiaojun led Qi Xuansu out of Kunlun Cave and walked towards Donghua's residence in Ziweitang. Along the way, he met many beautiful female Taoist priests. It was not that Donghua liked this, but
Where power and money gather, beautiful women are naturally attracted. Ziweitang holds the power of personnel, and these beautiful women are like moths flying into the flame, unable to stop them.
When these beautiful female Taoist priests saw Qi Xuansu, they were surprised at first, and then quickly noticed the subtle attitude of Gong Jiaojun, the great steward, and took the initiative to salute and say hello. When they learned Qi Xuansu's identity from Gong Jiaojun, they
He became even more enthusiastic, and everyone's eyes were wandering. Their eyes were wrapped around Qi Xuansu's body, and they refused to let go for a long time. There was no so-called reserve at all.
Qi Xuansu naturally understood that these beautiful women who seemed immovable in the past were not cold and arrogant, nor were they reserved, but ordinary men were not worthy of them showing their passion. They were selling for a price one by one and would not devalue themselves.
If it was Qi Xuansu in the past, they probably wouldn't have given it a second glance, but the current Qi Xuansu is different. He is the promising deputy hall master Qi. They either want to gain some benefits from Qi Xuansu, or they want to
Make a long-term investment to change your destiny.
Qi Xuansu had no doubt that as long as he showed a little bit of meaning, he would be able to practice dual cultivation in as little as ten days and a half, or as quickly as tonight.
Of course, if he really does this, then Zhang Yuelu will teach him tomorrow morning what it means to be angry with the daughter of the Zhang family. No, with Zhang Yuelu's resolute character, he should come to him with a sword in the middle of the night, take revenge first, and then cut off his clothes.
I won't wait until tomorrow morning.
Qi Xuansu naturally had no such idea;
A person who is very picky about feelings and has a mysophobia. He probably values whatever he lacks. He is an orphan. Growing up, few people took him seriously. Once he met someone who valued him and loved him, he would
He will remember it in his heart and wish he could repay it several times. Qiniang is like this, and Zhang Yuelu is the same. He once swore in his heart that he would never do anything to regret Zhang Yuelu.
Maybe in the world of fame and fortune, this move is a bit naive, but for Qi Xuansu, this is his persistence. If he throws away all these persistence, then he really doesn't know what he has left.
Qi Xuansu is neither noble enough to fight for the future of Taoism for his whole life, nor is he so despicable that he abandons everything for fame and fortune. He has been trying to find a balance between the two. So at certain times, he seems a bit awkward and not so free and easy.
But in the world, everyone shouts to be free and easy, but how many of them can truly be free and easy?
As for pure physical desire, for people in the Taoist sect, it is nothing. Not to mention slaying the white dragon or slaying the red dragon. After reaching heaven, martial arts are ever-changing, and the body and mind can perfectly control every corner of the body.
Physical desire is naturally not a difficult thing. Qi Xuansu also has a "heart of immortality stone", which is a real heart of stone. Without the blessing of emotion, Qi Xuansu's human desire is very weak, and ordinary women cannot seduce him.
What is really difficult to give up is the desire in the heart, which is supported by thousands of people, revered by thousands of people, left in history, determined by one word of life and death, turning one's hands into clouds and turning one's hands into rain, etc. Who can resist this temptation?
Take a young talent like Qi Xuansu as an example. Whether these female Taoist priests flatter him or not has no impact on his body. He can still live without these female Taoist priests. But psychologically, it is very interesting.
Those iceberg beauties who didn't look at me in the past have turned into active volcanoes in a blink of an eye. They are so passionate that they want to fall at their feet. The proud phoenix has turned into a well-behaved canary. This huge contrast has caused psychological problems.
The pleasure is even greater than physical pleasure.
This is the desire in the heart.
Even immortals are not exempt from vulgarity. They are also immortals. They are not cared about. They only have a few disciples and two or three big cats and kittens. But when they see other immortals, they can dominate the change of dynasties and control the fate of thousands of people. They are later...
Can people really feel calm when they bow down and worship?
They are all people who have cultivated their strength but not their mind. I am afraid they cannot.
If you can't, then you have to fight for it.
So they all fell into the vanity fair. Everyone knows the truth. It is easy to know but hard to do. In the end, no one can escape.
Qi Xuansu felt a lot in his heart and followed Gong Jiaojun to the residence of Donghua Master.
Gong Jiaojun, the secretary, is a man and does not need to avoid suspicion. Therefore, in addition to assisting Donghua Master in handling government affairs, he also takes care of Donghua Master's daily life. Therefore, he is very familiar with Donghua Master's residence, and he is also like Donghua Master.
Hua Zhenren considered himself the great steward, and he personally found a piece of clothing and handed it over to Qi Xuansu without distinguishing between inside and outside.
Naturally, Master Donghua would not let Qi Xuansu wear his old clothes, so this was a new piece of clothing. And because of the huge difference in their identities, Qi Xuansu could not wear Master Donghua's formal clothes, so this was a regular dress.
Qi Xuansu declined the Taoist people who wanted to help and changed his clothes.
This is how people look alike. Everyone is about the same figure and height, and the clothes are naturally similar. Qi Xuansu fit him well after putting it on. If it were someone like Wang Danqing who was different, it wouldn't be the case.
It was only then that Gong Jiaojun said: "This is a treasure given to Master Zhangtang by the Master Zhangtang. It's called 'Youyi Yunyi'. It's just that Master Zhangtang doesn't like the color of azure, so he
It has been left untouched."
Qi Xuansu was surprised and wanted to take it off: "It's too expensive."
"No price." Gong Jiaojun immediately stopped him, "This is the master's order. As the saying goes, elders can't refuse the gift. If Deputy Hall Master Qi doesn't want it, wouldn't he not recognize the master as the elder?"
These words are a bit harsh.
Qi Xuansu could only say: "I would never dare to do this."
"So I'd better accept it, it's just a treasure." Gong Jiaojun said with a smile.
Qi Xuansu remembered that Zhang Yuelu had a "Taiyi Yunyi" that she often wore. His one was called "Youyi Yunyi". I wonder if there was a "Tianzhen Yunyi".
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to go to Master Donghua to express his gratitude, but Gong Jiaojun said that Master Donghua had other arrangements. After thinking about it, Qi Xuansu knew that Master Donghua wanted to deal with Wang Danqing's matter, so he did not force it. In addition, he
My leave had been approved, so I left the main lobby of Ziweitang and headed to Biyou Palace.
In a narrow sense, Zixiao Palace is the residence of the Grand Master, but in a broad sense, Zixiao Palace includes Biyou Palace, Bajing Palace, and Yuxu Palace. These palaces share a wall, and the palace gate is located high above the Zixiao Palace.
If you want to enter Zixiao Palace, you need a special pass token. Qi Xuansu did not have such a token and was stopped by the spiritual officer at the door. He could only contact Zhang Yuelu and wait outside for Zhang Yuelu to come out and take him in.
