Chapter 2100 The Current Status of Dao Sect

After Qin Haoyue, Jiang State became more famous. Previously, there was Li State beside Jiang State, which was also a Taoist state. Li State could not bear the conquest of Tongzhu State and finally merged into Jiang State. Li State's national teacher also joined Qin Haoyue's army and served as the so-called second national teacher. Tongzhu State's conquest of Li State was unsuccessful, so it naturally held a grudge in its heart, but at that time, Tongzhu State was not sure of defeating Qin Haoyue, so it had to stop, and the feud between the two countries began from that day. Now, after another hundred years, Qin Haoyue's cultivation has reached a bottleneck and has not been able to break through for a long time. Tongzhu State's national strength is becoming more and more prosperous, and it has the help of great weapon masters and great martial arts masters, so it recently launched an invasion of Jiang State. In particular, Qin Haoyue was besieged by Confucian masters and died with hatred. Jiang State lost the protection of the national teacher. Soon, the capital was breached and the palace fell. Except for Princess Changling who secretly escaped from Jiang State under the cover of Qin Xiaoyao and others, all other royal disciples were beheaded.

Of course, judging from the later situation, Princess Changling was just released intentionally by the Tongzhu State. It was a strategy of letting the long line catch the big fish.

Qin Xiaoyao talked a lot about the development history of Jiang State and Qin Haoyue's great achievements, but Xiao Hua frowned slightly. He was not very interested in these. What he cared about was... what the Dao Sect of Jiang State was like. So he had to wait for Qin Xiaoyao to finish and asked about this in detail.

Qin Xiaoyao obviously didn't quite understand what Xiao Hua was thinking, but he was born in Jiang State after all, and he was at ease in facing Xiao Hua's inquiries. After Xiao Hua finished listening, he finally understood that the Dao Sect of Jiang State was actually somewhat similar to the various sects such as the Yu Lei Sect on the Xiaoyu Continent. However, in the Yu Lei Sect. The leader is the head, and all orders and important matters within the sect are final. And in this Jiang State. There are two heads. In state affairs, the head of state is the head, who issues decrees and educates the people. In the exchanges between countries, the head of state is respected; in the development and affairs of Taoism, the national teacher is the head, recruiting disciples and teaching disciples. Recruiting and training Taoist soldiers are all the responsibility of the national teacher.

Of course, the national teacher is the teacher of a country, and also the teacher of the head of state. Sometimes, the national teacher will also have some insights on state affairs. Even from the second head of Jiang State, when seeing the national teacher Qin Haoyue, he must perform the etiquette of a disciple. Qin Haoyue is the actual controller of Jiang State.

Since Jiang State is a country, no matter how big or small it is, it must be different from the Yu Lei Sect. Qin Haoyue cannot establish a sect in the Cangxian Continent. He can only branch out within Jiang State and recruit disciples from the people of Jiang State. Although these disciples cannot serve in the Eight Thunder Palaces like the Yu Lei Sect disciples, the government of Jiang State also provides them with similar positions. They can use the convenience of their positions to collect resources for their own cultivation when they have hope for cultivation. Similarly, you can also enjoy the wealth of the world when there is no hope of cultivation.

In fact, from Qin Xiaoyao's mouth. Xiao Hua learned that there are not many direct disciples of the national teacher Qin Haoyue, and Jiangguo is not big. The resources that can be provided to Qin Haoyue are already insufficient, and it is even more stretched to provide Qin Haoyue's disciples. Therefore, 90% of the Taoist power of Jiangguo is the Taoist soldiers that Xiao Hua has never heard of.

The so-called Taoist soldiers are soldiers who have practiced Taoist arts. Since they are soldiers, they are not real cultivators. The purpose of their practice of Taoist arts is to fight. Every soldier,

or every team of soldiers practices a Taoist art of killing people, and each battalion of Taoist soldiers practices several Taoist arts that can be coordinated under the leadership of a Taoist general. These Taoist generals may be Qin Haoyue's younger disciples, or other Taoist disciples who have defected to Jiangguo.

As for war, in addition to the battles of Taoist soldiers, there are also battles of ordinary armies, which is different from the Taoist sword war on Xiaoyu Continent. Because in a country's army, the number of Taoist soldiers is limited after all, and the number of other armies is more. Only when ordinary armies cannot decide the outcome or ordinary armies fail, will Taoist soldiers be sent to the battlefield. Of course, when Taoist soldiers appear, the end of the war is not far away. Qin Xiaoyao is not a Taoist general of Jiang State. After all, he is a junior disciple of Qin Haoyue, and his cultivation is considered to be profound. He is responsible for instructing the cultivation of three Taoist generals, and Xue Ping, the left general of Nanpu County in Xi State, is a typical Taoist general. If Xiao Hua is recruited by Xue Ping and becomes the right general, he will also be a Taoist general of Xi State.

Of course, in addition to the Taoist generals and Taoist soldiers being controlled by Qin Haoyue, the national teacher, as mentioned above, some important positions in the Jiang State government are also controlled by him, but these positions are not very important in Jiang State. This should be the result of a compromise between the national teacher and the king.

"It's really strange!" After hearing the last part, Xiao Hua frowned a little, "If the Hidden Immortal Continent does not allow the disciples of the Dao Sect to establish a sect, why does it allow the Dao Sect to establish a country? What is the difference between this and establishing a sect? In addition to recruiting disciples in a smaller range, there is usually a country master to check and balance each other. It is really similar to the cultivation sects in the Dawn Rain Continent. It is truly more influential than the cultivation families."

"Is it possible?" Thinking of this, Xiao Hua had some clarity again, "With the restraint of the king... the Taoist sect cannot expand? Or even the disciples of the Taoist sect will sink into the world of mortals? The resources of the Taoist sect can only be limited to Within a country? If Taoism wants to develop, then the country must expand. Since the country will inevitably be resisted by neighboring countries if it expands, the development of the country will be suppressed, and the development of Taoism will also be suppressed. Is it to kill two birds with one stone? In particular, if the Imperial Master is suppressed by the State Master, the Imperial Master cannot be as calm as water, let alone practice wholeheartedly. How can a Yuanying monk as powerful as Qin Haoyue be disturbed by Jiang Guo's myriad affairs? With his state of mind, it is difficult to break the bottleneck, and he is regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Tongzhu Kingdom. He will be destroyed by the Confucianism cultivators of the Tongzhu Kingdom without waiting for him to mature! !”

Thinking of the end, Xiao Hua couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing the change in Xiao Hua's face, Qin Xiaoyao, who had been observing Xiao Hua's expression, felt a sudden change in his heart. He gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground again, shouting: "Senior Xiao, this junior, on behalf of my Qin family, please be kind to me, senior." The Dao Sect's foundation is the most important thing, so take action to save our Dao Sect's power in Jiang State. Master Qin has been operating in Jiang State for hundreds of years. Now, although Jiang State has fallen into the hands of the Tongzhu State, the power of the Dao Sect has not collapsed. If the seniors take action, they will definitely be able to gather it. This kind of power can revive the glory of the Taoist sect! If the elders hesitate, hundreds of years of hard work by Master Qin will be turned into water. Wouldn't it be a great misfortune for the Taoist sect?"

"Furthermore... the juniors have the courage to ask the seniors to take action. The leader of Jiang State puts benevolent governance first and is very popular among the people in Jiang State. The Tongzhu State is a military country and has always been aggressive. If Jiang State falls into the hands of the Tongzhu State, it will impose excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes." The situation will be many times heavier than it is now, and the good Jiang State will be turned into a mess by the Tongzhu State, and the people of Jiang State will be displaced and their lives will be destitute. "

"If the senior intends to take charge of the position of Jiang Guo's national master, the junior will definitely join the senior's sect and lead the senior to consolidate the previous power of Jiang Guo's Taoist sect..."

Although Qin Xiaoyao said "deep love" and almost swore an oath, Xiao Hua felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about how he had abandoned Princess Changling before. And he also understood that Qin Xiaoyao had no one to rely on now. If he didn't rely on him, he might not be able to leave Heiyun Ridge at all. If he could persuade himself, not only would his life be saved, but his future cultivation would definitely be the same as before. Even judging from the current situation, Xiao Hua does not have many manpower in front of him. If Xiao Hua takes over the position of Jiang Guo's national master in the future, Qin Xiaoyao can even be said to be among the top ones. Wouldn't he be more prosperous than before?

After thinking a lot, Xiao Hua looked at Qin Xiaoyao, who had endless expectations in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you think Xiao can take charge of the position of Jiang Guo's national master?"

"Yes." Qin Xiaoyao nodded firmly, "The current situation is very similar to the situation between Master Qin and the founding king of Jiang Kingdom. You have always been kind to Princess Changling, and Princess Changling is the last member of Jiang Kingdom's royal family. . Even the juniors feel that it is easier now than before.”

"But..." Xiao Hua shook his head, "I'm not interested in being a national master, and I don't want to rely on Jiang Guo for my training."

"This..." Qin Xiaoyao hesitated. In fact, as the king of a country, the biggest advantage is the control of resources for cultivation. If Xiao Hua doesn't even care about this, then he really can't persuade Xiao Hua.

"Specially, now that Jiang State has been defeated and the capital city has fallen, we must reorganize our troops and rebuild Taoist troops if we want to restore the country. Do you think the Tongzhu State will give me time to wait? Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the Tongzhu State will They may send troops, and more Confucianism masters will come. How can we alone be their opponents?" Xiao Hua said seriously, "Also, even if there are no such threats, if we want to restore the country... ...What I am doing is definitely not something I can do just by touching my upper and lower lips! To be honest, this is the biggest reason why Xiao doesn’t want to take over. These trivial matters are too troublesome, and Xiao is not good at this. I don’t want to delay my cultivation due to trivial matters!”

What Xiao Hua said is indeed the biggest hesitation in his heart. Revenge for Princess Changling is simple. To put it bluntly, just break into the palace of the Copper Pillar Kingdom and kill the king. The tracking technique can do it. But to return to the country and become a national master, there are so many things. I don't know when Xiao Hua will be able to withdraw from Jiang Kingdom. And Xiao Hua is still worried about Jiang Liu'er, who has been in silence in the space for hundreds of years. If Jiang Liu'er is not awakened, Xiao Hua will not rest assured for a day. At the Star Reaching Tower bidding meeting, Xiao Hua's biggest purpose in bidding for Pegasus was to go to the Elysian World. (To be continued.
