Chapter 214 Class

Where to find this ancient pseudo-ascension ceremony?

The book doesn't say.

The Taoist classics have never recorded it, and perhaps it has been lost in the long river of time.

Or maybe Wu Luo knows, the Li family knows, and the Yao family knows, but they will definitely not tell Qi Xuansu.

Wait a minute.

Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of something. The Li family knows, and the basis for judgment is that the Li family has inherited the Xuansheng and has the "Heart of the Longevity Stone", and has studied it deeply. The Yao family also knows, because they have the blood of the Great Witch and are the descendants of the orthodox witch religion.

So does the Zhang family, which is also one of the three major families, know?

Some secrets are known by only one of the three families, which is actually normal. Everyone has some secrets that only they know.

But if two of the three families know, but only one does not know, it doesn't make sense.

Since others already know it, it is not the only one, so it is not a secret. These two families don't have much motivation to keep it secret, and the third family can easily know it, making it a consensus known to everyone.

More importantly, the Zhang family's ancestor, Tianshi, led the Zhengyi sect to destroy the Wujiao and destroyed Lingshan Dongtian.

If the ancient Wujiao is regarded as a country, then Lingshan Dongtian is the capital. Zhengyi was the first army to attack the capital and slaughtered all the great witches inside. Naturally, all the things in it fell into the hands of Zhengyi and the Zhang family. It is unreasonable to say that the Zhang family did not know the secrets of the ancient Wujiao.

From this, it can be inferred that the Zhang family must know the inside story.

Can't ask for help from the Yao family, can't ask for help from the Li family, can you ask for help from the Zhang family?

Of course!

Qi Xuansu is the prospective son-in-law of the Zhang family, and Zhang Yuelu is the third-generation leader of the Zhang family appointed by Tianshi. These secrets cannot be taken to heaven by Tianshi, and must be told to Zhang Yuelu.

Qi Xuansu thought of this, put the book back to its original place, used the Class C authority, called the mechanical puppet, and ordered: "Clean up my relevant traces."

The mechanical guard's eyes flashed with a clear light, and he nodded very humanely: "Yes, sir."

However, Qi Xuansu also knew that if the earth master really wanted to know what happened, his Class C authority would definitely not be able to hide it, and this kind of mechanical puppet must give priority to higher-level authority.

Now he seriously suspected that it was not Yao Pei who leaked the secret, but this iron shell. Maybe its eyes were the "shadow stone" that recorded everything that happened that day. Afterwards, Shi Da Zhenren checked the relevant records and found out about the "Master Heren of Jianxiu Mountain".

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu kicked the big iron block unhappily: "Go."

One is a warrior's physique, and the other is iron skin and bones. It only sounded like a bell, and no one felt any pain.

The mechanical puppet naturally didn't get angry and turned away directly.

When Qi Xuansu left Tianshui Yixinlou, it was already bright. He simply didn't go back to his residence and went directly to class.

When Qi Xuansu arrived at the teaching house, Zhang Yuelu had already arrived. There was an empty seat next to her, which was reserved for Qi Xuansu.

Although everyone was a classmate, except Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, the others were all seventh-generation disciples, the older generation, and they were in high positions. They were people who had to look up to others. The Taoist sect did not advocate the Western style of being open but frivolous, so no one would come to intervene at this time and stage a drama to provoke Qi Xuansu - that was a trick that young people loved to play.

By now, Qi Xuansu rarely saw young people of the same generation and age around him. Except for the Taoist Sanxiu and Chen Jianchou, there were Li Zhuyu, Chen Jianqiu, and Ke Qingqing. Moreover, the higher the level, the stricter the hierarchy. Those jealous dramas were getting farther and farther away from Qi Xuansu.

Do you really think that people are so easy to offend? What is the equality of Taoism? Don't pretend to be an outsider. Everyone knows it in their hearts.

Especially after Li Tianzhen was humiliated by Qi Xuansu, no one dared to offend him.

After Qi Xuansu sat down, he felt a little strange.

When I was studying in Wanxiang Taoist Palace, I was always next to Mo Qingdi, but there was no such beautiful girl. The bad luck was on this boy.

Zhang Yuelu asked in a low voice: "Did you really go to Tianshui Yixin Tower last night?"

Qi Xuansu shook the jade card in his hand: "Shi Da Zhenren's special permission."

Zhang Yuelu nodded and didn't say much.

Not long after, Jiang Da Zhenren walked in.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

There were only 20 students this time, but they came from all walks of life. Some were from aristocratic families, and some were from poor families. They all worked hard all the way to get to where they are. They all have real skills, and many of them have a certain arrogance.

What have I not seen? What don't I understand? I still use a little teacher to teach me. It's just a procedure.

So the Taoist sect directly sent the Great Master Pingzhang to come.

He was subdued immediately.

He lost all his arrogance.

It was a speech, a lecture, anyway, it was all a lecture, everyone just listened, what else could be said.

On the first day, Great Master Jiang spoke on "On the Cultivation of Taoists". On the second day, Master Ning spoke on "Report on the Situation between the East and the West". On the third day, Great Master Shi spoke on "The Economic and Political Essentials of Taoism Today". On the fourth day, Sun Hewu spoke on "The Future Development Trend of the Eastern World". On the fifth day, the Heavenly Master came to give a lecture in person, but the topic was not decided yet, and it was very likely that the Heavenly Master improvised.

The Heavenly Master had a lot of experience in teaching, because the Earth Master never participated in such things, usually the Heavenly Master and the National Master took turns to come, and now the National Master was the rotating Great Master, and had no time to split himself, so it was naturally the Heavenly Master who came. What's more, Zhang Yuelu was also here.

This gave Qi Xuansu an opportunity.

He was about to sleep, so a pillow was brought to him. He was just about to know the way to ascend to heaven in the ancient witch religion, and the Heavenly Master came.

Unlike other real people, Qi Xuansu was still very accustomed to this kind of study life, after all, it had only been a few years. Other real people were different. They were not promoted as quickly as Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. They were promoted to the fourth-rank priest more than ten years ago or even decades ago. They had long forgotten it. Without secretaries and followers, they had to do everything by themselves, which was not accustomed to them.

In a blink of an eye, the fifth day arrived.

The Heavenly Master came to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

However, the Heavenly Master was very low-key. He did not ride the extremely ostentatious "Yinglong", but just an ordinary flying boat. The ordinary students in the lower palace had no idea that such a big man had come to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

After the Heavenly Master arrived, he did not simply give a lecture, but chose a topic for everyone to discuss freely.

The topic was "power".

The Heavenly Master said: "When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. A Westerner said that the world faces four threats."

"The first is the desire of the strong for power concentration."

"The second is the resentment of the poor for wealth inequality."

"The third is the yearning of ignorant people for heaven on earth."

"The fourth is that people without faith casually confuse freedom with indulgence."

"What he said makes some sense but cannot be regarded as the truth. Some of them we do not agree with, such as the second point, why shouldn't the poor resent wealth inequality? Is it just Do you deserve to be poor? It is obviously inappropriate and incorrect to classify the dissatisfaction of the poor with wealth inequality as a threat. Are there any different kinds of kings, princes, generals and ministers? At least this is debatable. There is also a fourth point, what is a person without faith? Do you have to believe in the only god of the Westerners? Does not believing mean having no faith? Westerners regard people with other beliefs as having no faith. Isn't this a threat? So this is also debatable. "

"Today, we focus on the first point, the strongman's extreme desire for power concentration."

This is undoubtedly a very sensitive topic.

Since ancient times, the idea that there is no two suns in the sky has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is the high concentration of power. Looking at the Taoist sect, the five generations of great masters pushed it to the peak, and it collapsed during the period of the six generations of great masters. Judging from the actions of the three masters, they are undoubtedly opposed to the high concentration of power, but they have to admit that they all desire the high concentration of power, but the person who holds the power must be themselves.

At this moment, the competition for the seventh generation of great masters is about to take place. How should this question be answered correctly?

Most real people are masters of public cultivation. Of course, they do it in the most stable and correct way. It is nothing more than the old tricks. Power needs to be checked and balanced, and power needs to be caged.

When it was Qi Xuansu's turn to speak, Qi Xuansu hadn't figured out the problem, so he could only say: "I think that the current situation where everyone is looking forward to a wise ruler and a great judge is caused by the high concentration of power. Those who hold power hold everything, and others can only hope that those who hold power can distinguish right from wrong, be fair and honest, and have superior abilities to protect their own interests. If you meet the right person, highly concentrated power can burst out with great power and dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. But if you meet the wrong person, you will be doomed and fall into unprecedented chaos. How to decide who will hold highly concentrated power is obviously very critical and important."

"I am deeply touched on this point. How do Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua hold power? Does it mean that checks and balances and supervision fail? This requires us to think deeply."

"We often say that we need to change Taoism and clean up the world and people's hearts. How to change Taoism and clean up the world and people's hearts may start from this aspect."

This answer is quite standard, and the Heavenly Master did not comment too much.

In fact, Qi Xuansu guessed that the Heavenly Master was hinting that the Li family's attempt to inherit the position of the Grand Master was a strong man's extreme desire for power concentration, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, because that would bring disaster upon himself. The Heavenly Master didn't want to publicly criticize the Li family, but just planted a seed, acted as a guide, and made a move.

After the class, Qi Xuansu hurriedly took Zhang Yuelu to see the Heavenly Master.

The Heavenly Master came once, and he wouldn't leave on the same day. He would teach again tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow.

Of course, the Heavenly Master was not someone you could meet casually, but that was another story with Zhang Yuelu here.

When Tang Jiahua saw Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, he smiled and said, "The old man was just asking me to invite you two, and you came here first because you foresaw the future."
