Chapter 633: Inside Story

In the inner hall of Taibai Temple, the aroma of tea wafts in a leisurely manner.

After sending away the Taoist boy who was waiting, Jia Huan said, "Brother, isn't our lineage of Daozu Zhenchuan too sparse?"

"Why, do you still want to recruit disciples?"

Zuo Youxian put down the teacup and frowned, "Our lineage of Daozu Zhenchuan has only so many resources, which can only be barely enough for our brothers to practice!"

"If there are more disciples, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome!"

Hearing this, Jia Huan was speechless.

I don't know what's going on. The two branches of Shengmen Zhenchuan, Daozu Zhenchuan and Laojun Temple, are both in a situation where there are few core disciples.

The generation of Daozu Zhenchuan still has two core disciples, Zuo Youxian and Jia Huan.

Laojun Temple is even worse. This generation is supported by only one guy, Yaodao Bichen!

Of course, through the information channel of his brother Zuo Youxian, Jia Huan knew that there were more than one brothers in Laojun Temple.

However, all his fellow apprentices died due to various unexpected events and were not able to grow up, leaving only the demon Taoist Bi Chen alone.

The people in the Saint Gate basically know what is going on inside!

Otherwise, why is it said that the Saint Gate is quite competitive, and it is the kind of competition that does everything possible.

How did Bi Chen get the nickname of "demon Taoist"? It is worth pondering carefully.

Let's talk about the survival status of the two families. Laojun Temple is much better than the Taoist True Transmission!

First of all, Laojun Temple is located in the vicinity of Luoyang, with a developed economy and many rich people.

Laojun Temple is also quite famous in the local area, and it can attract some dignitaries and rich people to come to offer incense from time to time. In fact, it provides some elixir services for men, and there is no shortage of financial resources.

Taoist True Transmission is far behind in this regard. Taibai Temple is built in the deep mountains and dense forests near Hangu Pass. How many believers will take the initiative to come and offer incense?

Moreover, the source of income is extremely unstable, which is similar to the situation of Laojun Temple, which also provides yang-strengthening elixirs for dignitaries and rich people.

With the example of Laojun Temple, the income of the disciples of Daozu Zhenchuan is naturally greatly reduced.

It is precisely because of the different sources of income that the strength of the descendants of Laojun Temple can be steadily suppressed by the disciples of Daozu Zhenchuan!

With the same talent and the same level of magical skills, the disciples of Laojun Temple can use more cultivation resources, and they will naturally be stronger in terms of cultivation progress and strength.

What makes Zuo Youxian even more envious is that the descendant of Laojun Temple, Yaodao Bichen, actually entered the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce through the relationship of Yinkui Sect and got a position as vice president.

How much money is there in this? Anyone who knows something about Luoyang Chamber of Commerce will know some of the figures, which can be said to be quite amazing.

Unfortunately, Yaodao Bichen is too independent and too cruel. He holds the power of Laojun Temple firmly in his hands, and has no idea of ​​distributing it to others. Naturally, he will not recruit disciples.

The situation of Daozu's transmission is exactly the opposite. Zuo Youxian has always wanted to expand the influence of Taibai Temple, but unfortunately he doesn't have enough money in his pocket, so there is nothing he can do.

As the head of the lineage of Daozu's true transmission, Zuo Youxian still has some sense of responsibility.

At least, in his opinion, once he accepts disciples, he must be responsible for their future cultivation.

"Brother, we can't have to run errands for everything in the future, right?"

Jia Huan said helplessly: "I'm afraid it will be a mess in the future. Do you still want to improve your cultivation?"

"Taibai Temple has no money, so what do you say?"

Zuo Youxian was quite depressed and spread his hands and said: "Brother, teach me how to act?"

With the cultivation of brothers and sisters, it's no problem to make some small money, but once the amount is too large, it will cause trouble.

Although the Great Sui Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years, the interests within the country have basically been divided up. The royal family and Guanlong military nobles accounted for the majority, followed by Shandong gentry, namely the aristocratic families headed by the Five Surnames and Seven Families, and the remaining profits were all shared by all the big and small gangs in various places.

Once a major case is committed, it will not only attract the attention of the court and the local aristocratic families, but also the local gangs will not give up easily.

As I said before, the lineage of the Taoist ancestor is sparsely populated and cannot withstand the turmoil.

"Brother, are you trying to do a business without capital?"

Jia Huan immediately reacted, glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother, you underestimate our status as the descendant of the Taoist ancestor, right?"

"What proper status do we have?"

Now it was Zuo Youxian's turn to feel funny, he rolled his eyes at Jia Huan and said directly: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. I don't understand what you want to say, brother!"

"Hmph, I want to ask, are we the heroes who helped the current Emperor Sui ascend to the throne?"

Jia Huan said directly: "Even Master, in order to help the current Emperor Sui ascend to the throne, he fought with the so-called righteous high Died in a battle?"

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, Zuo Youxian couldn't help but cheer up, and said in a high voice: "This time, we helped the current Emperor Sui ascend to the throne, but it was a rare victory for our Saint Sect, and we overpowered the so-called righteous sect!"

"Then did our Taoist ancestor's true lineage gain any benefits?"

Jia Huan asked: "Junior brother, why can't I feel it?"

"Of course I got benefits, and it's not small!"

Zuo Youxian said without hesitation: "Junior brother, you were still young at the time and didn't understand the specific situation!"

"The Buddhist sect supported Yang Jian to establish the Sui Dynasty, and it was in its heyday during the Kaihuang period!"

"At that time, everyone from the court officials to the traffickers and lackeys seemed to have become Buddhist believers!"

"As the Holy Sect, the rival of Buddhism, it is natural that it has encountered strong suppression, and life is quite difficult!"

"Not only did the government and the imperial court take action to suppress him, but the gangsters and gangsters were also clinging to the holy gate like crazy!"

"During that time, life was very difficult for the various sects of the Holy Sect, and our Dao Ancestor true lineage was no exception. We were basically unable to conduct public activities outside, and could only survive in Taibai Temple!"

"Senior brother, I remember it very clearly. The master was frightened three times a day at that time. He was afraid that some so-called masters of the righteous way would one day pop up and wipe out the true lineage of our Taoist ancestors!"

Jia Huan listened with great interest. In his memory, he really didn't have much feeling about this.

First of all, he was still young and had always stayed in Taibai Temple to study literature and practice martial arts. He knew nothing about the outside world, and naturally he was not aware of the suffering of his master and senior brothers.

After some understanding, the master died early in the battle. Senior brother Zuo Youxian is busy every day, so naturally it is impossible to tell him whether he has these things or not.

It can be said that Jia Huan did not feel the pressure and suffering when Shengmen was at its lowest point.

No wonder the Yin Kui Sect became so popular in the Holy Sect later on. It turned out that it was not only due to its own strength.

It should also be due to the fact that during the handover process of the new generation of Sui emperors, the pressure on the entire Holy Sect was relieved. Jia Huan felt that Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the Yinkui sect, was incredible just by listening to it.

However, admiration is admiration, and the benefits that should be fought for should not be given up.
