Somewhere outside the Land of the Yellow Dragon, a large number of semi-immortal monks are confronting each other. Judging from their attire, this is a purely internal Taoist affair. To be more precise, it is an authentic internal dispute within the Taoist sect.
Those far around in the outer circle are all branches of the authentic Taoism, Zhouyi, Xuanwu, Taixuan, Taiji, etc., but they are just spectators. The real opponents are just the thousands of half-immortals in the center, all under the Sanqing sect.
, the single most powerful orthodoxy in the universe!
Among the thousands of Sanqing sect members, there are two camps. One group has a small number of people, less than 300; the other group has the power to crush, with 700 or 800 people gathered together, the momentum is particularly huge!
Qingxuan stands on the side of the small group, and is the implicit leader. Without him, his Yin-Yang Dao Monument is the most promising to combine Yin-Yang Dao. Under this premise, other aspects such as age, power, etc. are no longer important.
In the five hundred years since Lou Xiaoyi was invited to drink tea by the immortals, he was not idle either. He integrated the powers of the supreme beings from all walks of life in the universe and began to stand on his own, becoming independent from the three pure beings.
His behavior was not understood at first, and there were countless disputes involved, and various forces competed, and finally a consensus was reached within the Shangqing.
As the saying goes, what has been separated for a long time must be reunited, and what has been combined for a long time must be divided. This is true for the great road, such is the power, and of course the same is true for the orthodoxy; nothing is static, especially before the arrival of a new era.
Conflicts within the Sanqing have always existed, but it is not something he can provoke. They have existed for millions of years. There are obvious differences in the concepts and techniques of the three families.
Among them, the Taiqing branch is the staunch guardian of the great unity and the lubricant of the Sanqing Taoism; Yuqing is the proudest Taoist sect, claiming to be the authentic Taoist sect everywhere and sparing no effort to safeguard the interests of the Taoist sect; Shangqing is the most open-minded
The lineage of Taoism does not support the dominance of the Sanqing Dynasty in the Taoist system, but hopes to be integrated into the entire Taoist world. There is no distinction between orthodox and side sects. Tolerance is great!
Among them, Yuqing and Shangqing are in sharp opposition. Although it has not evolved into a direct confrontation, the conflict has been long-standing and irreconcilable in the Sanqing Taoism of the universe. It is only because Taiqing mediates between them that the Sanqing can be unified as one.
The overall posture has stood in the universe of cultivation for millions of years without falling.
But the hard work is not sweet. With the advent of the new era, some Shangqing monks were finally no longer willing to be suppressed by the Yuqing Taiqing and decided to take this opportunity to set up their own schools. From then on, the Sanqing became three families and returned to the beginning of the Sanqing in ancient times.
form.
There are too many reasons, and the contradictions are too numerous to list, and it is impossible to discuss them one by one; but the most critical one is that some Sanqing monks have realized that the Sanqing Dynasty may decline after the new era.
The largest Taoist tradition in the Taoist sect, because of their excessive strength and domineering methods, they are slowly becoming the target of public criticism in the entire Taoist authentic sect system, being ostracized and isolated!
Shangqing is the Taoist tradition that takes the initiative to lift this layer of window paper. It is led by the rising star Qingxuan, and there are many far-reaching supporters, including not only Shangqing disciples, but also some Taiqing Taoists, and even Yuqing
disciple.
All judgments come from the understanding of the new era in the future. If the Sanqing Taoism wants to survive and regain its glory, the best way is to separate the family, return to the embrace of the authentic Taoist family, and then wait for the future when the time is ripe.
Unified again.
This is the secret of Taoism's survival. They have inner and constant connections. Breaking them into parts in special periods is one of the most important ways for them to deal with risks!
However, this concept is not accepted by most Taiqing and Yuqing monks. Once they are used to the hegemonic position, it will be difficult to demean themselves; they believe that the situation is far from reaching the point where they need to separate their families, and Qingxuan and his group He believes that if we wait until everything is clear before dividing the family, the situation may be over and even the current status may not be preserved.
Disagreement has long existed, and it has become more intense as the new era approaches. In order to focus on Huanglong Lidao at the last moment, the two parties decided to resolve the internal differences in advance. This is the reason why they left Huanglong and came here. .
You can't act out the separation of brothers in front of everyone in the Land of the Yellow Dragon for the whole universe to watch?
Now is also the best opportunity to solve the problem, because 90% of the high-end power of the Three Purities of the Universe is here. After the new era, it will be difficult to find an opportunity for everyone to gather together.
There have been so many truths that there is nothing to say; they are all at the top level of human cultivation, and it is extremely difficult for anyone to convince anyone, so there is now a tit-for-tat confrontation.
In terms of the balance of power, the Shangqing family is undoubtedly at a great disadvantage against the Taiqing and Yuqing families. But the Shangqing family is strong because of their united will, and the Taiqing and Yuqing families are somewhat incompatible with each other. In addition, other authentic Taoist schools are either overt or covert. Supports the choice of super clearing, so the involution has been in progress for a long time, and the reason has not yet been determined.
If the monks' differences cannot be reached after a long period of discussion, they must ultimately be based on the monk's strength. Speak based on ability. If you can't reach an agreement, just give it up! Even if Taoist Sanqing has always regarded himself as a leader and is known for his magnanimity, The same is true.
As the most outstanding representative of the contemporary monks from the Shangqing side, Qingxuan naturally carried this banner. After hundreds of years of hard work, he wanted to solve the internal problems of the Three Qing Dynasties as peacefully as possible, and he also received the support of many people.
But even so, the label of internal division was still pinned on his head, and his wish for a peaceful solution was not realized in the end. The current solution of both parties relying on strength is not what he wants to see, because of the strength of the Shangqing After all, compared to the other two, it is still a bit thin.
No matter the quantity or quality, it cannot be compared with the combined efforts of the two companies! Even though his strength is outstanding, it is not outstanding enough to resolve disputes by himself!
This fight has been going on for a long time, more than ten years. It seems incredible to others, but to Taoists, it is a normal situation.
The fighting methods within the Sanqing are not so strict. It stipulates how many people can participate and how many games determine the outcome. This can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of those monks who have no chance to participate, and is not conducive to future unity.
They adopt a very vague fighting method, that is, one person is on one side, and the opponent can be chosen at will. The winning side continues to show off its power, and the losing side has no right to play. It is a relatively open fighting method, and the comparison is based on foundation and strength!
After more than ten years, most of the nearly 300 people on the Shangqing side have been defeated and are no longer qualified to fight. However, the Taiqing and Yuqing sides are still full of talents. This is an unavoidable fact.
At the end of the fight, if even Qingxuan and other leading figures cannot appear, then the overall situation has been decided and there will no longer be the confidence to be independent!
