Chapter 193: Unanimously open to the outside world
When Master Cihang said this, many deputy hall masters who were accustomed to taking notes hurriedly put away their papers and pens, not to mention things like "Voice Talisman" and "Photographic Stone".
Master Cihang signaled Qian Wan to activate the formation in the auditorium to isolate the inside and outside, and then continued, "Logically speaking, this discussion should have been led by Beichen Hall, but Master Qingwei of Beichen Hall is now presiding over the overall situation in Fenglinzhou.
I have no time to take over, so I have to do it for you. Now, Deputy Hall Master Lu of Beichen Hall will introduce the specific situation."
Qi Xuansu realized that this meeting was indeed unusual.
Beichen Hall is often called together with Fengxian Hall but is higher than Fengxian Hall. It is ranked among the top three halls. In addition to the fact that Beichen Hall controls direct force, it is mainly because its authority is greater than Fengxian Hall.
Although it is often said that Tiangang Tang is external and Beichen Tang is internal, but the so-called internal is compared to Tiangang Tang, which is completely external. In fact, Beichen Tang takes into account both internal and external. Internally, it eliminates traitors, and externally, it spy on intelligence, instigate rebellion, etc.
.It’s just that the Taoist sect takes influence and face into consideration and rarely emphasizes the external functions of Beichen Hall.
Beichen Hall should have taken the lead, indicating that the matter involved some secrets. If it was internal, and Beichen Hall could not take the lead due to the absence of the real person in charge, Fengxian Hall should have taken the lead. Since it was replaced by Tiangang Hall, then
It was explained that it was for the outside world, and when Qian Wan mentioned that it was related to Westerners, Qi Xuansu immediately realized that it should be related to the Holy Court.
To be fair, since Qi Xuansu entered the upper echelons of Taoism, most of his contacts were with various internal struggles. This was his first contact with such external issues.
The deputy hall master Lu mentioned by Master Cihang is not an ordinary deputy hall master, but the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall, who is also the right-hand man of Master Qingwei. His weight is quite important.
Deputy Hall Master Lu said, "I am reporting an important situation to everyone this time. Regarding this notification, except for the Deputy Hall Master who was unable to attend the meeting, it can be conveyed in writing by the joint meeting. The other Deputy Hall Masters and below will only be conveyed orally and will not form a formal statement.
Written words are not recorded, and the situation is only known by the relevant Taoist priests in charge, and will not be communicated beyond the scope."
After finishing this opening statement, Deputy Hall Master Lu stepped into the topic, "About this matter, some fellow Taoists already know about it, even the parties involved, and some fellow Taoists don't know yet. I will explain it here. The Fenglinzhou war was under the auspices of Master Qingwei.
Under the leadership of the leadership, the progress is going smoothly, but there are also some ups and downs, setbacks, and even accidents, which are related to the safety of our sect. We should not be careless. The main reason is that some people from overseas have ulterior motives and are determined to destroy me.

Jiewo Dao Sect’s authority and foundation in the Eastern world, they support behind the scenes and instruct some local forces with separatist tendencies, such as the Zunbang Sect in Fenglin Continent, to carry out a series of sabotage acts. Regarding this, the people who have just returned from Fenglin Continent
Deputy Hall Master Qi should be deeply touched."
After hearing this, everyone else also understood the importance of this discussion and couldn't help but straighten up and look at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to speak, "What Chief Lu said is absolutely true. When I was in Fenglinzhou, I was ordered by Master Qingwei to recruit Suzuka Mountain, and I accidentally discovered that the priests of the Western Holy Court promised various kinds of things to the Taoist warriors of the Zunbo Sect.
This kind of support is not limited to money and weapons. In addition, Toronus, the apostle of the Holy Court, also briefly appeared in Fenglinzhou. Although there was no specific action, his intentions are unquestionable."
Because it involves the remains of a 30% golden body and the secret fight between the three Taoists and the imperial court, Qi Xuansu cannot go into too much detail and can only explain it by saying, "His true intentions cannot be questioned."
Deputy Hall Master Lu nodded slightly, "For this reason, the Master of the Hall sent an order to our Beichen Hall to conduct a series of thorough investigation operations. In fact, we have already grasped part of the situation as early as in the past many years, but we just failed to trigger it. Among them, sea trade can be said to be the most important.
In the hardest-hit areas, many people used their identities as maritime merchants as a cover to enter coastal states and purchase land and properties. They looked like ordinary rich people, but in fact they were just nails. Or they were recruited by certain people from the sea while trading.
Special secret societies overseas have bribed them, become their minions, and then return to the Central Plains, dormant and waiting for opportunities. In this regard, we need the help of Taoist friends from Shibo Hall."
"Furthermore, within us, some Taoist priests or Taoist people have forgotten the Taoist ancestors' purpose of simplicity, cannot withstand the temptation, or have been manipulated by honey traps and other means, and have become their eyes and ears. In these cases, we have already
However, in order not to alert the snake and catch the big fish, we did not immediately take action, but strictly monitored. Some of them also have specific positions. Everyone knows that our Taoist temples are divided into four levels, namely county temples,
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the levels of Fuguan, Zhougong, Daogong, Zhougong and Daogong. Even at the level of Fuguan, there is no big problem. The key is that the lowest level of county temple has a large number of people, so it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad.
There are problems with people. In this regard, we need the help of fellow Taoists from Ziwei Hall."

In addition, it is the responsibility of Fengxiantang to deal with the conviction afterwards. There are also Taoist halls such as Tianjitang and Huashengtang that are involved in trade and core secrets. They also need to strengthen their awareness of prevention in this regard to prevent anyone from using business practices as a pretext.
Excuses permeate the situation, and if there is a dispute involving certain churches, the ancestral temple will have to come forward. All aspects are involved, so this joint meeting at the nine-church level was organized."
As for Duzhitang, Deputy Hall Master Lu did not mention it, and there was no need to mention it. No matter what you do, you need money, so every joint meeting must include Duzhitang, the God of Wealth and the great steward, so there is no need to emphasize it too much.
After Deputy Hall Master Lu finished his speech, Master Cihang spoke again, "On the surface, our Taoist sect is at its peak, with all things competing and full of vitality everywhere, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging. Behind this superficial peace, there is
Some jackals are watching with eager eyes. They have never stopped infiltrating and subverting us. They can say that they use all possible means. The situation in Fenglinzhou is just the tip of the iceberg. I will not introduce the more specific situation here in detail.
Yes, I will issue you a specific dossier on the relevant content later. Again, it cannot be taken away, cannot be recorded, and will be taken back immediately after reading. Everyone must be well aware of this matter. The details of this matter are based on Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall.
For the sake of the Lord, everyone actively cooperates, communicates, and coordinates solutions.”
Having said that, a dedicated person has already distributed dossiers to the deputy hall masters present. Qi Xuansu also noticed that according to the different duties of each deputy hall master, the files distributed are also different, and each should have its own emphasis.
Qi Xuansu was different. He was the person involved in Deputy Hall Master Lu's mouth. Not only was he the first to discover White and Brown's plan, he had even seen the true form of Toronus and the "Xirui Jing", so there was nothing good about him.
Hidden, so the dossier given to him is the most detailed.
Throughout history, there have always been various acts of betrayal, and there is no shortage of traitors in any era. But generally speaking, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, there are more traitors, and when we are strong and the enemy is weak, there are relatively fewer traitors.
In any case, the Taoist sect is still at its peak, conquering all the ministers and deploying military force all over the world, but it is far from declining. Therefore, high-level officials at the level of deputy hall master are still trustworthy, so they repeatedly emphasize not to spread to the outside world.
Of course, not everyone has experienced a series of things like Qi Xuansu. Some people even have good friendships with people in the Holy Court because of their duties. Naturally, they are confused. But those who can reach this position are not brains.
Simple people know the importance and will not go to the trouble of
A little friendship and disregard of the overall situation.
Because this matter is external, no matter who becomes the Grand Master, they have to deal with the threat of the Holy Court, and this threat is a confrontation between two behemoths competing for world dominance. It does not change due to one person's will and does not exist.
The possibilities of taking a step back are vast, so regardless of the three paths, they will usually use the power of the Holy Court to achieve certain goals on certain matters, but they cannot be shaken from the standpoint of right and wrong.
Because of this, this matter does not involve the operation of power within the Taoist sect, but it is related to the interests of all Taoist sects. Therefore, everyone has regained consensus, united and paid attention to it, and acted unanimously to the outside world.
After reading the dossier, some deputy hall masters began to discuss it in low voices. It was not spread or leaked externally or to the lower levels. At the level of the deputy hall master, it was communication and cooperation to solve problems, so the discussion was reasonable.
Master Cihang did not object to this discussion, but once again emphasized the internal discipline: "The information you have cannot be disclosed to anyone. Note, I am talking about anyone, including your colleagues, friends, disciples, family, etc., also
That is everyone except you and the people involved in this matter. This is a red line that cannot be crossed, and whoever crosses the line must bear full responsibility."
Deputy Hall Master Lu added, "Each church has a branch hall in the local Taoist government. This time, in addition to some deputy masters who are specifically responsible for supervising the matter, we mainly use the power of the Taoist Hall to solve the problem directly."
Everyone looked serious.
Qi Xuansu sighed.
Judging from the situation in the file, it is really you who fights yours and I fight mine. The main direction of Daomen's attack is the New World, and the main direction of the Holy Court's attack is East Borneo and Borneo. If he is sent to another place, whether it is Borneo
, or Lingnan, are both hardest-hit areas, and it is inevitable that he will be involved. Maybe he is one of the deputy palace masters.
This is a troublesome matter. The Taoist sect and the Holy Court have not openly quarreled with each other, so this kind of thing cannot be carried out in a big way. It must be done in secret, showing off tricks and defusing them skillfully. This will test the skills of the parties involved. If it is a deal
It's not good. If someone catches someone making an omission, such as insufficient evidence on the surface, the Holy Court will use this as an excuse to strongly protest. Taoism cannot say anything in terms of face, so it's not merit, but fault.
This is a tricky job.
Master Cihang finally said, "My request is only four words, please handle it properly."
