Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 163 Check and Balance
Wei Xuande said: "This is the crux of the problem. The Demon Sect is weak, so it uses the power of the Yaozu to counterattack. Regarding the four sects of Xuanmen, although the Demon Sect is included, it is weak. The clown is a rare disease. Although the Yaozu are outside, they are deeply troubled."

"In recent years, the power of the Demon Sect has risen sharply, but have you ever heard that the Demon Sect really occupied a place by itself? At most, it was equal to the local Xuanmen. Do you know why?"

Zhuang Xingan frowned and muttered: "The Demon Sect is weak, even if it integrates the inside, it is not an opponent of the Taoist sect. Naturally, it cannot occupy a place by itself. Isn't this inevitable?"

Wei Xuande shook his head and said: "No, the world is so big, there is always a place where the Demon Sect is powerful, just like our Xingang, the local Blood Bone Sect and Shame Corpse Sect are not strong, but after joining the New Moon Sect and the Ghost Sect Its power is not weaker than that of Xuanmen, and the reason why the Demon Sect did not occupy a treasured place of practice alone is not because it cannot, but because it dare not."

Zhuang Xinqian was puzzled and said, "Don't dare? Why?"

"There are rules and regulations between Taoist sects, each has its own boundaries, and they do not interfere with each other. The big sects are not allowed to annex and bully the small sects. This is the rule set by the four major sects. Violators will be punished as treason. Only by making use of this regulation can we survive in the cracks and get a share of the soup."

"The disciple still doesn't quite understand what the rules between the Xuanmen have to do with the Demon Sect, and why it dare not occupy a place by itself."

"Look at the current situation in our Xingang area. You also know that three months ago, Fellow Daoist Yang of Shuiyunzong went to visit Senior Duan of Canhuazong and asked him to help him with personal friendship. He promised to give him [-] million fees, but he refused. Why is this?"

"Although [-] million spirit stones are quite a lot, as the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Laogang, he is not short of these spirit stones. If he helps out, as a sect leader, he is equivalent to Can Huazong interfering in Xingang's internal affairs, which is not in line with The rules established by the four great sects will cause trouble for themselves, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Yeah! He can't look down on those petty gains, and he can't blatantly usurp Xingang's property. If he helps him, he will get into trouble for himself. If we wipe out all our sects or drive them out of Xingang, will he still stand by and watch?"

Zhuang Xinqian remained silent, as if he had realized something.

"This is why the Demon Sect dare not completely occupy a place. If the Demon Sect drives us out of Xingang, they will immediately suffer annihilation. The restriction of Taoism is gone. For Can Huazong, this place has become a If he has conquered the land of no man, then he can justifiably occupy the cultivation resources of Xingang after destroying the Demon Sect."

"If you understand this point, you will know why the senior leaders of the Demon Sect are unwilling to fight to the death. After the previous battles, they already know that this spiritual mine is the core interest of our Xuanmen, and it is impossible to give up."

"If they don't retreat, they will have to fight to the death. In the end, there are only two results. One, they are wiped out, and the other is that they kill us and then be wiped out by Can Huazong."

"In the same way, if Laogang Canhuazong is wiped out by the Demon Sect or driven out of Laogang, the Taoist sects on Jining Island and Qiyun Island will wipe out the Laogang Demon Sect. If the Taoist sects on Jining Island and Qiyun Island are destroyed If the Mozong is driven away, there will be Qingzhou Inland Xuanmen to deal with the funeral."

"It's been postponed layer by layer, because the Demon Sect is weak, and no sect power can compete with the four Xuanmen, so they dare not occupy a certain place alone, and can only survive under the rules of the Xuanmen."

"The location of the four great sects is located hundreds of millions of miles away in Tianyuan Sacred City, and there is no Demon Sect power in Tianyuan Sacred City, and all the remnants of the Demon Sect are hidden in the states and counties. Do you know why?"

Zhuang Xin said dryly: "Didn't Master just say that? The Demon Sect has no power to counter the four great sects, so of course they can't stay in Tianyuan Sacred City, they can only hide in the states and counties."

Wei Xuande shook his head and said: "This is not the main reason. With the strength of the four major sects, it is not difficult to wipe out the hidden demon sects in various states and counties, but they have been letting them go and let them fend for themselves. Tell me why they did this? "

Zhuang Xinqian said: "These disciples really don't understand the way of intrigue and manipulation, so please tell me clearly, Master."

"In the world, if the generals guarding the frontiers encountered a rebellion from the barbarians, they could obviously wipe them out, but they always left some remnants to spare. Because they needed to protect themselves, they supported the bandits with self-respect."

"The world of practice is also average. The four major sects are the leaders of Taoism in the world, each occupying several large states, and all sects must pay tribute to it. Without its permission, no matter how capable you are, you are not allowed to establish a sect. Once you violate The rules they make will destroy you, they are so overbearing, what do they rely on?"

"Is it the profound background of millions of years or the preaching of benevolence and righteousness? Neither, it depends on its powerful strength and superb means."

"They made rules, divided the boundaries of each sect, and stipulated that they should not interfere in the internal affairs of other sects. The big sects were not allowed to bully and annex the small sects. The purpose was not justice but checks and balances. In order to prevent the subordinate sects from becoming dominant and annexing other sects Zongmen, threatening it is a means."

"Raising the bandits' self-respect is also a means. They need the Demon Sect to restrain the various profound sects under them, and at the same time use the Demon Sect to consume the strength of each profound sect. Because the Demon Sect is a foreign aggression, each profound sect has to bow to its orders."

"It can even be said that the four Taoist sects are the chief culprits of the wars against each other in these years. At that time, the demon clan lived in a corner, and the demon sects were broken up in various states and counties, stealthily shrinking their heads. Those big sects developed to To a certain extent, the lower level cannot annex other sects and occupy their resources, and the upper level is not enough to compete with the four major sects. If the sect wants to develop, it can only expand horizontally."

"The Xuanmen of this state attacked the Xuanmen of that state, occupying its resources to meet its own development needs, and the four major sects! Turned a deaf ear to this, let it go, and even secretly fueled the flames, allowing the Xuanmen to fight and consume each other's strength. "

"This time, the monster clan revived and invaded with a large army, even going down to the two prefectures of Liangyi, and the four major sects sent disciples of the major Xuanmen to help the battle. It was also to check and balance the lower sects, so as not to fight against the monster clan. Seriously injured, unable to suppress the major sects below."

"Now you can understand the cause of the general trend in this world! The four sects have to rely on the demon sect to contain and consume the strength of the sect below, and the demon sect uses the rules formulated by the four sects to survive."

"Of course, this is not to say that the four major sects are vicious and vicious. In fact, we small sects are the biggest beneficiaries of its rules. It is precisely because of the rules it formulates and resolutely and effectively implements that we can survive. Otherwise We have been annexed by those big sects, or we will be wiped out by the slightly more powerful demon sect."

"Under its rules, Xuanmen dare not bully and annex us, and the powerful Demon Sect will not come to our tiny place, because it dare not occupy this place, so it will not come to trouble us."

"Eliminating us will do them a hundred harms and no benefit."

"I said so much for the teacher, I just want to tell you that there is no personal relationship between the sect and the sect, only the interests come first, you must understand the rules to survive, you can only make a difference in this vast world if you understand the rules .”

Zhuang Xinqian has no cultivation qualifications. This time Xuanyue Mountain killed three monks of the same level and gained a great reputation. It's just that he is very dull in politics and government affairs, which makes Wei Xuande quite helpless.

If a person can't see the situation clearly and understand people's hearts, then he won't be able to go very far on the road of practice.

……

In the meeting hall of Middle Finger Peak, Tang Ning walked to Kong Fanxing and sat down. Not long after, Zhu Xu, Chen Xuan, and Lu Xingxian arrived one after another. Today is the time for the intelligence department to discuss.

In the Battle of Xuanyue Mountain, both Xuanmo factions suffered heavy casualties, and the intelligence department also suffered heavy casualties. Both Ye Xiu and Xu Jingtian were killed in battle, and Lu Guang was injured and recuperating in the cave, so future discussions will be held.Only eighteen of the thirty qi refining disciples brought back came back.

Lu Xingxian said: "All the juniors have arrived, and today we mainly discuss one thing. According to the dossier presented by the Jiangdong intelligence station, a monk from the Mozong was found near Jingyun County and killed a disciple of the intelligence station. Brother Tang should know about it!"

Tang Ning nodded. He was in charge of intelligence liaison, and of course he had read the files presented, and he also knew that Lu Xingxian had specifically named him because he had something to assign.

Sure enough, he heard him say: "I want you to go there personally, Junior Brother Tang, to find out the truth of the matter and see why these monks from the Demon Sect came to Jingyun County? Is it related to the Pingjingshan Spirit Mine?"

Pingjing Mountain is located at the junction of Jingyun County and Pingbo County. There is a spiritual mine. The Demon Sect has just completed the integration. , making people have to wonder if he came to spy on the Pingjingshan Spirit Mine information.

After the incident at Xuanyue Mountain, everyone knew that the Demon Sect sent secret agents to infiltrate the Taoist sect. Xuanyue Mountain had their secret agents, so how did Pingjing Mountain know?

Ye Xiu was dead, Lu Guang was injured, and the two people in charge of the specific affairs of the action team were killed and the other injured. The matter was naturally assigned to him. He had no reason to refuse, so he could only nod his head and say hello.

"You can arbitrarily choose a few disciples from each team to assist you."

"No, it's more convenient for me to come and go alone."

"Well, Junior Brother Zhu, after Junior Brother Tang leaves, you will have to worry about the information contact."

Zhu Xu nodded.

"Secondly, Junior Brother Ye and Junior Brother Xu died in battle, and the sect asked us to deal with their affairs. Junior Brother Xu is alone and there is nothing to consider. Junior Brother Ye has a wife and a daughter. I want to get it from the Ministry's finances What do you think of offering [-] spirit stones, plus a top-grade magic weapon, a foundation building pill, a set of four cloud water arrays and a Qingxin bell to compensate his wife?"

Everyone had no objections, Lu Xingxian said a few more things before the discussion ended, and everyone went back to the cave.
