Chapter 185: Different Paths to the Same Destination

Many people did not expect that the attitudes of Cihang and Donghua were so firm that they even put forward their opinions and views directly without waiting for Qi Xuansu to finish reading the manuscript, that is, they clearly opposed it.

Moreover, there was cooperation between the two. Cihang's words were fierce, while Donghua's were more comprehensive. Starting from the overall situation, especially this turning point, he directly pointed out that he was not ambitious or unable to face his mistakes. It was obvious that he was just trying to shut some people up.

This is where Qingwei was passive. If Li Changge was in Qi Xuansu's position, then the report would be secret. Even if Donghua and Cihang could guess the intention of Taiping Dao, they would not know the details. But Qi Xuansu was in this position, and the manuscript passed through his hands. He met Cihang and Donghua successively and revealed the details.

Qingwei certainly knew that Qi Xuansu would do this, but he could not stop it. Qi Xuansu was a person who had experienced it personally. If Qi Xuansu was not allowed to report, who else could he let report? If someone else were to be replaced, it would give Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren more reason to criticize.

In any case, Qi Xuansu is also the chief of the upper three halls, and has already touched the threshold of the Canzhi Zhenren. He is not some random person who can cover his mouth whenever he wants. It is already very difficult to get Qi Xuansu to revise the manuscript by exerting pressure.

Therefore, Qingwei Zhenren also anticipated this situation, and said slowly: "Regarding the word 'criticism' mentioned by Cihang Zhenren, I cannot agree. We are not calling for war and killing, we are to solve the problem. If we don't find the problem and point out the specific problem, how can we solve the problem? To eliminate the trouble before it happens and cure the disease, we must first find the lesion."

Cihang Zhenren had to respond: "It is good to be able to cure it before it happens, but I am afraid that the good treatment will not cure the disease. We can't hide our illness and avoid seeing a doctor, but we should also understand that people will get sick if they eat grains, but we can't stop eating grains because of illness. Everything has a benefit and a disadvantage, and the advantages and disadvantages are always mixed, so there is a saying of weighing the advantages and disadvantages. Regarding the problem of Xidaomen, we must look at it dialectically, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

Both of them knew it well, but no one said the real reason behind it, and they were only limited to the issue of showing off or criticizing.

However, everyone present had been through many battles and knew the situation well.

As Qi Xuansu said, this was a test. The resolution of this meeting would not have any substantial action. It would more determine the attitude of the Dao Sect. Whether the attitude of the Dao Sect in this war was mostly praise or criticism would determine the direction of the next battle.

If it succeeds, there will undoubtedly be the next step. Take it step by step and work it out slowly.

Cihang Zhenren also said that the Taiping Dao wanted to shorten the road of a hundred years to more than ten years. That was also a very long process, not more than a dozen months, not more than a dozen days, and certainly not something that could be decided in a single meeting at the Golden Palace.

The attitudes of Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren were also very clear, that is, to nip it in the bud directly, and not even have this direction.

The reasons Cihang Zhenren mentioned were based on the overall situation and the past ten years. Putting them in the Golden Palace meeting, which was mostly a test, was a bit of an exaggeration. If they really had to make it clear, the Taiping Dao would not admit it. It's like the puppet emperor knows that the powerful minister wants to rebel, and the powerful minister also knows that the puppet emperor knows that he wants to rebel, but neither of them will make it clear, and even if they do, they will not admit it.

Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed. The two real people were arguing with each other. He stood there with a report, neither advancing nor retreating.

The report was not over yet, and he could not return to the audience directly. But now it was obviously not his place to speak. Although these two real people were very familiar with him, this was not the right place for him to interrupt them.

However, Qi Xuansu also saw that now there were basically two opinions, agreeing or disagreeing. Donghua Zhenren was the opposing party. After speaking, there was no movement. The national teacher simply did not speak. The two seemed to be the commanders of the two armies, and then each sent a general to fight, that is, Cihang Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren. Of course, Donghua Zhenren was definitely not as good as the national teacher, so Donghua Zhenren spoke and set the tone.

As for Qi Xuansu himself, on the surface, he is in the camp of Qingwei Zhenren, but in fact, no one thinks that Qi Xuansu is Qingwei Zhenren's man. After all, his future mother-in-law and future master are on the opposite side. It is a bit unreasonable or even nonsense to say that Qi Xuansu supports his boss - the apprenticeship ceremony will invite guests, and this news cannot be hidden at all. Many people have already known it.

At this time, Jiang Da Zhenren suddenly said: "You two stop for a while."

In terms of ranking, Jiang Da Zhenren is the fourth, after the three crown princes, but that is because there is an unwritten rule that the older generation who cannot compete for the position of the Grand Master will not touch these three positions, so Jiang Da Zhenren can only be ranked fourth, but Jiang Da Zhenren's seniority and qualifications are here, and his words are quite weighty. To say that he is old and senior, when Pei Xuanzhi, Li Wugui and Su Yuanyi had not yet entered the Golden Palace, he had already participated in the meeting here, and his partner at that time was the current three masters.

Both Cihang Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren stopped talking.

Master Jiang said slowly, "Neither of you has been to the Southern Continent. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Instead of listening to you two, we should listen to what the parties involved have to say. Xiao Qi."

Qi Xuansu responded: "Great Immortal."

"During this trip to the South Continent, it should have been me, an old man, who went to see Daoist friends Dan and Gong, but for some reasons, I asked you to go instead of me. Now, please talk about your experience and feelings during the trip to the South Continent. Don't read your manuscript. I have heard a lot of these things over the years. They are all official jargons. I am tired of them. My ears are about to be callused. Just say what you think. Only one thing, seek truth from facts." Great Immortal Jiang looked at the National Master again, "Brother Li, what do you think?"

The National Master certainly did not agree, but it was difficult to refuse. As Immortal Donghua said, we must listen to different opinions. The great pattern, great mind and great tolerance of the deputy headmaster Great Immortal cannot be easily broken. It is not in line with the status to be fussy about words, so naturally he can only nod.

However, if the Imperial Master is not easy to say, there will be others to say it. Tang Fengxian said, "Old Jiang, what you said is not right. Reporting is reporting. It should be done as it should be. How can you say it as you want? Without rules, there will be no order. What will happen then?"

Everyone has his own position. This great immortal has a hot temper and has always played the role of a "rough man" who speaks without restraint. What "What does the Lingnan Daofu do for a living" and "All of them will be killed" seem very serious to others, with the meaning of accountability, but for him, it is very reasonable. It is just right for him to oppose it at this time.

However, evil people will be dealt with by evil people. To deal with "rough people", you need to use "scholars". Shi Hesheng, who has always been at odds with Tang Fengxian, immediately said, "My great immortal Tang, let people speak, the sky will not fall. Don't let people speak, the sky will fall. Xuansheng said that you should speak freely, speak openly, and speak thoroughly, don't hide anything, the location is in the conference hall next door."

Tang Fengxian was speechless for a while. It was difficult to answer when it came to Xuansheng.

Jiang Dazhenren took the opportunity to signal Qi Xuansu: "Okay, go ahead."

Qi Xuansu looked at the report in his hand again, put it down, and then raised his head to face the crowd: "As Donghua Zhenren said before, and as Jiang Dazhenren said now, it is difficult for me to read this report word for word to everyone, so I will talk about what I saw, heard, and felt during this trip to the South Continent."

"I must emphasize that Xidaomen does have many shortcomings, but the general direction of Xidaomen is unswerving, that is, to further develop itself on the basis of striving for independence. The unavoidable problem that Xidaomen is facing now is, It is not the deviation and mistakes in the general direction, but how to achieve this goal, that is, how to develop. "

"How to develop? The southern continent is full of mines and various raw materials, but lacks the ability to transform these raw materials into various products. To make Tawanting, a backward semi-slave feudal country, move towards civilization, it needs a foundation and prerequisites. Xidaomen does have the problem of spreading its stall too wide, but its original intention is to focus on the present and look to the long-term, in order to lay this foundation, create this condition, and lay a good foundation, so that it can better build a tall building on the ground. ".

"And this war in the southern continent also illustrates a thing Things, Xidaomen and Tawanting are able to defend their victory. "

"At the beginning, the Holy See had a myth of being invincible. Once a large-scale army fought, it would be crushing. They openly clamored, not considering the issue of victory or defeat on the battlefield, but only considering the issue of the cost of the war. At that time, Tawanting's army could only choose guerrilla warfare to resist. "

"Now, under the leadership of Xidaomen, both sides can already fight on the vast plains with a large army of hundreds of thousands, and there are back and forth. There are of course many problems here, and we must face these problems, but we We should also see that the great progress that the Western Dao Sect has made in recent years, from sneak attacks and guerrilla warfare to large-scale frontal combat, the efforts and hard work put in are huge and shocking, and this process is a microcosm of the word "development". "I have come into contact with many fellow Taoists from the Western Dao Sect, and even fought side by side with them. My feeling is that there is no difference between us, we are all descendants of the Taoist ancestor. Whether it is the Dao Sect or the Western Dao Sect, we have the same origin and depend on each other for survival. We each lead a country and walk different paths, but our goals are the same. "All rivers flow into the sea, and they all have the same destination. "
