Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 478 Talk
At that time, no one in the world sympathized with Yin Ruozhuo's situation, and was dissatisfied with Qin Jiyuan's coup d'état, so he erected his king's banner, and the whole world responded with a cloud of followers.

This massive mutiny lasted for decades, and was finally suppressed. Yin Ruozhuo escaped to the hinterland of the Demon Sect in Yongzhou with only his own life.

His wife, children, brothers, nephews, disciples, and confidants were all slaughtered, and the once powerful Yin clan was almost wiped out.

This great battle completely tore Taixuanzong apart, countless high-ranking monks died in battle, and Taixuanzong went into decline.

Qin Jiyuan received all the support of Taixuanzong's internal cultivation family and Sanxiu giants. After the war, he launched a vigorous internal purge campaign to completely wipe out the remnants of Yin Ruozhuo's faction. There are countless great monks who died innocently. The purge has lasted for nearly a hundred years.

Interestingly, after Taixuanzong, the other three major sects of the four major sects, Shangqingzong, Daodezong, and Yuxuzong also launched a series of internal purge activities, and many monks were severely punished.

It was rumored that this was because he was worried about stepping into the footsteps of Taixuanzong, and executed some hidden dangers of non-compliance with the law in advance.

The reason for all this is that Ding Shengyuan, the former head teacher of Emperor Taixuanzong, was old and imminent, unable to control the situation.

As a result, Qin Jiyuan had an opportunity to launch a coup.

After the Yin Jia Rebellion, almost all Taoist sects abandoned the tradition of appointing a new head teacher after the death of the head teacher, and abdicated in advance, which can ensure the stability of the sect to the greatest extent.

The situation Qianyizong is currently facing is grim. There are demon sects infesting outside, Youmei sect is growing day by day, and there are factional disputes inside.Luo Qingshui and Shi Mingsui have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time.

Once he dies, whether the entire sect will split up immediately, this is what Wei Xuande is most worried about.

Therefore, he must abdicate early and support the new head teacher to take office in order to stabilize the situation.

"If the head is going to abdicate, who can take over?" Tong Quan'an asked.

Wei Xuande smiled and said: "Who will take over as the head teacher, I can't decide. At that time, there will be nominations from the disciples of each hall and courtyard, and everything will follow the rules and regulations! Wasn't I also recommended by the disciples at the beginning? Even if I If you want to designate a candidate, I'm afraid no one will agree."

Tong Quan'an frowned and said: "The selection of a new head is the top priority of the sect. If it is not done well, it will cause very serious consequences. It is better than Taixuanzong, who also paid a very heavy price for this. We must be cautious about this matter."

Wei Xuande sighed slightly: "I was worried about this, that's why I wanted to abdicate earlier. Brother Tong, to tell you the truth, my lifespan is only a few dozen years, and this life is at the end. Wait for death! While I can still speak now, I want to choose a new head teacher, and after a few decades, I will really be powerless."

Tong Quan'an said: "Forgive me, although Senior Brother Wei cannot decide the candidate for the new head, if he wants to abdicate, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate in his mind? At present, Senior Brother Luo and Senior Brother Luo have the most supporters, the most powerful, and the most powerful people in the sect. The door selection must be between the two of them, who is Senior Brother Wei interested in?"

According to the rules of Xuanmen, the selection of the head is jointly recommended by all the department managers of the three halls and three courtyards, and not a few high-level officials can decide. Although Wei Xuande cannot directly appoint a new head, he has been a head teacher for more than two hundred years after all. .

He is highly respected in the sect, and his influence is unquestionable. If he expresses his support for someone, it will greatly change some people's original intentions.

Taking the current situation of Qianyizong as an example, Shi Ming and Luo Qingshui are brothers in power, so Wei Xuande's attitude is very important. It can be said that basically, the selection of the new head is up to him. Whoever he supports wins.

As long as he came forward to lobby, neutral factions like Peng Wanli, Jiang Ming, and Yin Qingyuan in the sect would definitely follow his wishes, thereby attracting most of the neutral disciples.

Wei Xuande said with a smile: "Since I have abdicated, I will naturally not take care of the affairs of the sect. Junior brother Luo and Junior brother Shi are the pillars of the sect. I think no matter who is the head teacher, it will not be bad. I just Take charge of the handover of affairs, and forget about other things. If you have retired, why should you be in charge of commanding! Me! I can also enjoy leisure and take off the burden."

The meaning of this is obvious, that is, he will not intervene in the battle between Luo Qingshui and Shi Mingsui, which is also in line with his temperament.

Wei Xuande has always been a kind person, a good old man who is good at making peace, and rarely intervenes in the sect's specific affairs.

Tong Quan'an pondered: "I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Wei Xuande said: "Why is Junior Brother Tong being so polite? Today you and I just want to have a heart-to-heart chat, to talk about things thoroughly. If there is anything, it's okay to say it. It comes out of your mouth and into my ear, that's all. world."

Tong Quan'an said: "Now that the Demon Sect is gaining momentum, the Corpse Puppet Sect is eyeing it. If Senior Brother Wei wants to abdicate, the new head needs to be strong to be able to suppress the Demon Sect. Otherwise, what will outsiders think of my sect? On this point, Senior Brother Luo Obviously more appropriate."

"There is no grievance between me and Senior Brother Shi. When I say this, it may make people feel that I am speaking for him because I have a good relationship with Senior Brother Luo. In fact, it is my heartfelt words. I recommend Senior Brother Luo. It's for the sake of the sect."

"Although senior brother Shi is the master of the Qingxuan Palace, his cultivation level is still a little lower. Now is a special period, and we cannot follow the rules. Isn't it because the previous rules are no longer suitable for development, so we have to abandon them? "

"If senior brother Shi is the head teacher, what will outsiders think? They will think that our Taoism is getting weaker and weaker, and the majestic Qianyi sect can't find a monk of the late Golden Core stage, and let a middle-stage Golden Core monk be the head teacher. "

"The head teacher is the signboard of a sect, and the face of the sect. If the signboard is not bright, the face is not good-looking, and others will naturally look down on you."

"At this time when the Demon Sect is plundering, what will those cultivating families and casual cultivators think? These influences cannot be ignored. Senior Brother Wei is willing to abdicate for the sake of the sect, so he should do his last bit of effort." .”

Wei Xuande said: "Junior Brother Tong's words are not unreasonable, let me consider this matter!"

"I hope the headmaster will think more about the matter of abdicating. I will take my leave first."

"Gan'er, send Junior Brother Tong off."

"Yes." Zhuang Xinqian replied: "Uncle Tong, please."

The two left the pavilion one after the other, Zhuang Xinqian came back after a while.

Wei Xuande asked: "What do you think?"

Zhuang Xin said dryly: "Master, what Master Tong said just now?"

"Well, what do you think?"

Zhuang Xin said dryly, "It's both public and private."

Wei Xuande smiled: "That's right! Public or private. If it were you, you could choose between Junior Brother Luo and Junior Brother Shi, who would you choose?"

"This... I don't know."

"What do you think of me abdicating now?"

"This matter depends on the discretion of the master, and the apprentice dare not speak nonsense."

Wei Xuande let out a long sigh: "It's hard! It's hard to be a human being, it's hard to be a monk, it's hard to be a master."

When Lu Guang returned to the cave, he went outside, Zhou Yingxue came out to greet him, and asked with concern, "How is it?"

"It didn't go well. Peng Wanli, Jiang Ming, and Yin Qingyuan all met me, but none of them expressed their support."

"Although Peng Wanli didn't say it clearly, what he meant was to let me do my own thing well, so I thought he wouldn't vote for me. Yin Qingyuan just said some polite words, and didn't mean to support me, Jiang Ming even kept his mouth shut."

"It's not enough votes no matter what, unless the leader supports me, it's impossible to win the election."

The two entered the house, Zhou Yingxue said: "Since that's the case, shouldn't it be time for me to do something?"

Lu Guang sighed: "That's the only way to go."

.....................

Jiangdong, in a dilapidated courtyard in the barren hills and mountains, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a beautiful woman with white skin, it was Zhou Yingxue.

A man in the courtyard heard a strange noise, his figure flashed, and he came out of the room. Seeing her face change slightly, he bowed and said: "I don't know which uncle from this sect is here?"

Zhou Yingxue flipped it in her hand and handed him the sect token: "Secret Security Section."

The man took the token, poured his spiritual consciousness into it to confirm his identity, and was startled, wondering why the secret security department suddenly found him: "I don't know what is the master's order?"

"If I ask you now, you must answer truthfully, otherwise you will know the consequences."

"Yes, the disciple must know everything."

........................

After the two exchanged a few words, Zhou Yingxue soared into the sky and headed northwest.

At the Qianyi Sect, on the old lonely peak, a white man saw by his sideburns bought a elixir, and he stood up with his sword. On the way, two men with their swords caught up: "Junior Brother Zhang, please stay."

The man stopped and looked at the two people behind him suspiciously: "I don't know what's the matter with the two senior brothers?"

One of the men flipped his hand and handed him the token: "Secret Security Section, I need to know something about you, come with us!"

The man surnamed Zhang took it and his expression changed; "What's the matter?"

"You'll find out later."

................................................

In the basement of a certain mountain range in the Central Plains, a man with a broad forehead and a broad face pushed the door open and saluted the old man with white beard and hair sitting cross-legged inside: "Uncle Du, are you calling me?"

"Follow me." Du Yuankai got up and said.

"Yes."

The two of them left the basement one after the other, the light rose, and they came to a mountain peak, where someone had been waiting for a long time.

When the three of them met, Du Yuankai said: "This is a disciple of the Secret Security Division. I have some questions for you, and you need to answer them truthfully."

"Yes." The man was startled and replied.
