Chapter 239 New and Old Tripartites

Ordinary "Multiple Symbols" and "Multiple Mirrors" include "Signal Symbol Array", "Sound Transmission Array", "Yun Zhongxin" and other facilities. Their principle is a mesh structure, intertwined and intertwined, so there is a possibility of being monitored. It is possible to keep secrets externally but not internally.

Therefore, when conducting some confidential operations, ciphertext will even be used within the Taoist sect.

Fish Talisman and Jinglu are point-to-point and do not intersect with third parties, so they are difficult to be monitored and security can be guaranteed.

Qi Xuansu used the fish talisman to contact Qiniang, and now he used the sutra urn to contact Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu was surprised. After all, Qi Xuansu had just contacted her not long ago.

"What's the good news?" Zhang Yuelu asked.

Qi Xuansu said, "It's hard to say whether this news is good or bad. Maybe it's good news."

Then Qi Xuansu told Zhang Yuelu the whole process.

After Zhang Yuelu listened, he didn't speak for a long time.

She didn't know what to say.

As Qi Xuansu's investigation deepened, he gradually fell into a situation. Although the Earth Master did not show any overt hostility, Qi Xuansu gradually came to be the opposite of the Yao family. The Yao family was no longer his backer, but a vague became his enemy.

It has to be said that nature is impermanent, who would have thought? At least Qi Xuansu never expected it at the beginning.

It wouldn't be surprising if one day the Li family became his friends. As the old saying goes, there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends.

Qi Xuansu sighed, "After struggling for so many years, I finally crossed the river, but in the end I am still a pawn."

Zhang Yuelu did not sigh, but began to think of practical ways. "I will help you pay attention to this aspect."

Qi Xuansu said, "The Qingping Society rarely operates in Nanyang. Their main scope of activities is still in the Central Plains. I suspect that the headquarters of the Qingping Society is in Zhongzhou or Qinzhou, which is the territory of Quanzhen Taoism."

Zhang Yuelu asked, "It's a matter of Quanzhen Taoism. Do you plan to ask Master Donghua to take action?"

Qi Xuansu said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but the problem now is you. The prophecy of True Monarch Ziguang cannot be believed completely or not. You have made people angry now, so it's better to be careful."

Zhang Yuelu said, "With Lao Lin here, there should be no problem."

Qi Xuansu said, "It's hard to say. Of course I believe Lao Lin, but according to the meaning of Zhenjun Ziguang's words, this matter should not happen in a short time. No one can guarantee what will happen in the future. Lao Lin is not with you due to certain circumstances. , it’s not impossible.”

Zhang Yuelu said, "I understand. But I still say the same thing. Only a person can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can prevent a thief for a thousand days. Prevention is impossible. The key is to solve the problem fundamentally."

Qi Xuansu sighed, "That's right. Let's not think about the Earth Master's side for now."

Even Lord Ziguang is worried, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out anything. The key now is Zhou Mengyao, this person may be the key to breaking the situation. "

Zhang Yuelu said, "An immortal."

Qi Xuansu said, "Although she is an immortal, she cannot see the light. Our biggest advantage is that we can use Zhong Kui to fight ghosts. When necessary, we can use the power of the Taoist sect to deal with her. The Earth Master can't say anything. After all, there are Celestial Masters, National Masters, Master Jiang Da was watching from the side. Earth Master can't cover the sky with just one hand. However, our disadvantage is that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear. She hides in the dark and makes a sudden attack. With our current level of cultivation, we may really be in trouble. deficit."

Zhang Yuelu said, "I'm okay. I usually stay in the Dao Palace and rarely go out. I don't think they have the courage to attack the Dao Palace directly. The key is you. Are you going to the New World again? That's not the territory of the Dao Sect. The situation is very complicated. If you really have to take action, there is a perfect place. Once you get it, you can just frame it for Steam Gospel or the Ancient God."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "They have invested so many resources in me and they won't do anything to me easily. But you are right, I still have to be careful."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "By the way, is there any news from the Heavenly Master?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said, "No, even if there is no such thing, the number of times I see the Celestial Master is not that many. It is better when the Celestial Master is the rotating Da Zhenren, because I have to stay in Yujing, and I can always find him. But once the Celestial Master After resigning as the rotating Da Zhenren, you can't expect the Heavenly Master to always be in the Da Zhenren Mansion. The Central Plains is not a new continent. There is no need to be prepared for the outbreak of war at all times, and there is no need for the Immortal to be on duty day and night. In addition, the three divisions do not seek to survive the heavenly tribulation. There are still many other arrangements for time.”

Qi Xuansu thought about it and found that it was indeed true.

If it were him, at this level of status, he would only be able to grasp the general direction and would not stay at home all day long. That would be too boring.

Take the Imperial Preceptor as an example. During the Fenglinzhou War, the Imperial Preceptor also personally ended up fighting. One man and one sword penetrated the headquarters of Ise Shrine. This can be regarded as leading the way. It can be seen from this that the Imperial Master is not the kind of person who is the son of a rich man. He will not always be in the Zhenjing Courtyard when he is not on duty. Even if it is a fairyland on earth, he will get tired of it after decades.

As for the Earth Master, Qi Xuansu didn't even know where the Earth Master was, and he had never seen the Earth Master so far.

What else could Qi Xuansu say? The Heavenly Master is not what you want to see, you can see him if you want to see him. The highest three-member council, when placed in a secular court, is equivalent to the emperor. You have to hand out a sign to invite him to see him. As for whether to see him or not, it all depends on the emperor's wishes. Qi Xuansu is not even a real person who knows how to be a master. He is estimated to be over fifty in line, and this does not include those first-grade innocent Taoist priests who have retired, which is far behind.

Qi Xuansu has now indirectly offended two people from the highest three-person council, namely the national master and the earth master. If it weren't for the friction between the three people, fighting openly and secretly, and finally forming a stable triangle situation of mutual restraint, Qi Xuansu would have "died" several times.

Although the earth master and the heaven master are united to fight against the national master, in fact, this alliance is not solid, and is even very fragile. Both sides have their own calculations. Judging from many actions of the heaven master, as the best divination in the Taoist sect, the heaven master is aware of the earth master's plan, so he intervened and gave Qi Xuansu room to maneuver.

It is pure nonsense to say that Qi Xuansu relied on the things given by the earth master to break free from the earth master's shackles, or even defeat the earth master in turn.

Qi Xuansu can get to this point today and wake up from the dream woven by others, relying on the external force of the heaven master. .??.

If there was no heaven master, Qi Xuansu would still be visiting Qi Haoran's empty grave, not to mention worshipping Donghua Zhenren.

As for what the Heavenly Master really thinks, we need to sort out the relationship between the Zhang and Li families.

The dispute between Zhang and Li does exist, and it is not a play. But the two sides also have quite a lot of common interests.

Speaking of emerging families, the first thing that comes to mind is Wang Jiaohe's Wang family. The old family cannot accommodate emerging families.

But from the perspective of the Zhang and Li families, the Yao family is also an emerging family, but it was the second generation of geomancers who made their fortune. At that time, the Zhang and Li families had been passed down for thousands of years. The rest, such as the Pei family, the Xiao family, the Su family, the Shen family, the Lu family, etc., although not as good as these two families, are also hundreds of years of inheritance. They stand in the right position and follow Xuansheng to achieve a second renovation.

The difference between the Yao family and the Wang family is that the Zhang and Li families failed to suppress the Yao family, but instead made the Yao family the third largest family. And at the root, the Zhang and Li families claim to be orthodox.

At that time, the South Daomen, the East Daomen, and the North Daomen agreed to offer sacrifices to the sky at the Shangqing Palace on Cuiyun Peak and swear an oath to jointly resist the Confucian school and revitalize the Taoist school. In addition to Xuansheng, the three representatives were Li Zu, Zhang Zu, and Emperor Daxuan Gaozu, who were the first three deputy masters. At that time, Taoism had not yet been truly unified, and Xuansheng was only the fourth person, equivalent to Jiang Dazhenren. The position of the Grand Master was vacant, and the three deputy masters were the biggest ones, which was very similar to the three-person council structure today.

Later, Emperor Daxuan Gaozu withdrew and began to set up the Daxuan court. Xu Zu's lineage was replaced, and that was Zhongli Xu, who was on par with Shangqing Zhang.

It was not until Zhang Zu, Li Zu, and Xu Zu all ascended that Xuansheng truly monopolized power and became the first generation of Grand Master. The power structure of Taoism was thus determined.

The boundary of Xuansheng's exclusive power is an important criterion for assessing qualifications.

The rise of the Yao family was after Xuansheng came to power.

Now you

The Yao family came out and said that they were one of the three major families of Taoism. In terms of strength, they are.

But where were you when Cuiyun Peak offered sacrifices to the sky and swore an oath?

Where were you when the Sword Master of the Jade Void Peak fought?

Not to mention the several battles, the North Dao Gate Iron Cavalry knocked on the gate, the East Dao Gate blocked the sea, and the South Dao Gate provided money and food, where were you?

When fighting the Confucian Gate, it cannot be said that you did not make any achievements, but that was also unremarkable.

Can your qualifications be considered orthodox?

After the overall situation was settled, you suddenly became equal to us old-timers, is this reasonable?

Therefore, the Yao family has not been able to truly integrate the Quanzhen Dao. The large size and diverse factions of the Quanzhen Dao are one of the reasons, and the Yao family’s shallow qualifications are also one of the reasons.

Therefore, the Zhang and Li families rarely mention the three major Taoist families. They prefer to say two major families. Hostility is hostility, but they still recognize each other. The reason is also very simple. Devaluing the opponent is equal to devaluing oneself, and conversely, praising the opponent is also praising oneself.

In the eyes of the two families, if the Taoist is not surnamed Zhang, it is surnamed Li.

The Li family claims to be the descendants of the Taoist ancestor, while the Zhang family is the direct disciple of the Taoist ancestor. To put it bluntly, it is a son and an apprentice fighting for the family property, each with their own status. How dare you, a defeated general of the witch cult, dream of the power of the Taoist sect?

If Yao Yueyan is really a one-calamity immortal, then there is a high probability that the Zhang and Li families will join forces to suppress her.

After sorting out this subtle psychology, we can understand how fragile the alliance between Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao is. From the perspective of the Zhang family, this is just a stopgap measure to fight against the Li family. The object they really want to join forces with is Donghua Zhenren, not Dishi.

Don't forget that it was the Tianshi Sect of the Zhang family's ancestors that destroyed the ancient witch cult of the Yao family's ancestors.

The hatred here is much greater than the dispute between Zhang and Li. In any case, the Zhang and Li families have also had a truce and even fought side by side to face the powerful enemies of Confucianism and Buddhism.

On the other hand, Donghua Zhenren has a good root. As early as when Xuansheng was not yet famous, the Pei family followed Xuansheng and was the direct disciple of Xuansheng. Originally, the Li family was not counted. There were three descendants of Xuansheng, namely Shen, Zhou, and Pei.

Although Zhou Shuning was not a disciple of Xuansheng, her relationship with Xuansheng was similar to that of Xiao Yin and Qi Xuansu. Later, Zhou Shuning married Shen Changsheng, which was equivalent to the two families becoming one. As a result, Shen Qingchen was born, who almost cut himself off from the Taoist sect. Other Shen family members other than Shen Qingchen's lineage were side branches and were not considered authentic descendants of Xuansheng.

After a while, only the Pei family had an orderly inheritance and did not make mistakes. Naturally, its status was different and more recognized.

"The second chapter will be later, and this volume will end soon. The next volume will still start with the New World, with a small part of the main plot and more of a large branch line. Which ci tune name is more suitable for the volume title?"
