Chapter 156 The Wanderer Returns Home 2
The inner mountain gate is in the center of Jiuyao Sect.

It was a canyon, and there was originally a hole in the deepest part, where the Taoist Nine Lights saw the scene of the ancient sky change ten thousand years ago.

Now that cave no longer exists, and all the surrounding cliffs have collapsed, turning into a valley. Tens of thousands of years have made this place full of towering ancient trees, and it has become a dense forest covering the sky and the sun. Even the weeds in the forest are As tall as a person.Only in the middle of the valley, there was a thatched hut on the other side of the deep hole.

The thatched hut is not big, just a house, no more than one foot in length and width, surrounded by a circle of bamboo fences, it looks no different from an ordinary thatched hut.

Li Tianyi came to the door respectfully, pushed the door open carefully and entered.

As soon as he stepped through the door, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Inside the door is not a hut, but a valley, which is exactly the same as the valley outside, but the feeling is completely different.

The spiritual energy here is extremely strong, and it is only a tiny bit worse than the spiritual eye.There are no forests that block the sky and the sun, and there are no tall weeds. The valley is full of various rare medicinal materials. There are forests, but they are not big, just a small piece, and those trees are also left over from ancient times. Rare species.

In this grove, there are a few old people gathered there, two of them are playing chess, and a person next to them is watching them play chess, and there are a few other old people who are doing their own things, some are tending flowers and plants , and some sat upright with their eyes closed.

"Xiao Lizi, why are you here?" The old man watching chess suddenly raised his head and asked.

Of course, Li Tianyi didn't think that these old people would not know the reason for his visit. With his ability, he could figure it out clearly, let alone these few people.

"Isn't it because of Senior Brother Ding and Jiugong Mountain? Senior Brother Ding is highly respected and has great prestige in the faction, but now that the catastrophe is approaching, although Jiugong Mountain is nominally a side branch of our Jiuyao and has a lot of connections with us, but they Belongs to Buddhism." Li Tianyi briefly explained.

"You are the master, so this matter should naturally be decided by you." An old man who was playing chess said disapprovingly.

Head Li smiled wryly. If he had a way to make a decision, he wouldn't come here to ask these people what they meant.

"This matter involves Senior Brother Ding, and Senior Brother is not alone, there are several elders who have the same idea as him." Li Tianyi could only put it as tactfully as possible.

"Look at Xiao Lizi's anxiety, don't keep pushing him back and forth, he also has his difficulties, and what time is it now, at most ten years later, the catastrophe will be imminent, don't bother me I want to escape." An old man who was closing his eyes suddenly spoke.

Li Tianyi hurriedly stood aside, this person is definitely his greatest reliance.

After the old man spoke, the others finally lifted their spirits.

The old man watching chess twisted his beard and said: "'Buddhism and Taoism are one body', this statement is true, 'the catastrophe is approaching, and the family will fight among themselves first', it is indeed not correct, what Nephew Ding said It makes sense, but the concerns of the head of the sect are also justified. After all, this Buddhist sect is a Buddhist sect, and it is not one with our Taoist sect. We treat them as a family, but they may not treat us as a family."

The old man was talking eloquently there, and the old man who spoke just now couldn't stand it: "Come on, don't go around in circles, your brain is the best in this regard, give me a clear explanation."

The old chess watcher originally wanted to talk for a long time, but was stabbed by this person, so he had to change the topic: "What I mean is that everyone can say the truth, and they can all make sense, so it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. As the head of the sect, if you are obsessed with these things, then don't do anything. The so-called head of the sect is in charge of the sect. The ancestors have already formulated a complete set of rules for us. Can't we just follow the rules? Did nephew Ding break the rules? Did he do anything harmful to Jiu Yao?"

The master shook his head: "That's not true, but his apprentice..."

The old chess watcher immediately interrupted: "Since his apprentice violated the rules, he should be punished according to the rules. Martial nephew Ding punishes the apprentice himself and does not allow outsiders to intervene. There is some truth in saying this to that Chen. Why should the people of the Jiuyao sect ask him to be an outsider? But this is used to prevaricate you, isn’t it a joke? The apprentice has done something wrong and can only be punished by the master. If everyone does this, you will be the head of the sect for what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tianyi immediately understood.Since the reasoning makes sense to everyone, it is only business-like, and follow the rules and regulations.

After thinking about it again, he realized that it looked familiar again. Isn't this just the thing in the army?
The old chess watcher saw that the headmaster understood, and he said: "Everyone has the right to make friends, there is no need to force it. But now that the situation is tense, we should take precautions. Xiaoding and the others have a deep friendship with Buddhism, so then Let them be in charge of contacting the Buddhist sect, don't stay in the mountain gate for the time being, let them go to the lower court. As for their disciples... Tianbao Prefecture seems to be short of people now, and there is also a way out, we should also start to arrange it. Just let them go there first and make a front stop."

As soon as these words came out, head Li immediately understood the thoughts of these Supreme Elders.

To put it nicely, there are reasons on both sides. In fact, these elders have long concluded that Buddhism cannot be trusted and must be guarded against.

This is consistent with his idea.

As early as when Buddhism and Taoism split, Xuanmen no longer existed, and after that, all previous catastrophes were in charge of each other. Buddhism and Taoism have joined forces, but most of them are individuals. , Taixu, Jiuyao and Kongchan are always together, Kongchan is a Buddhist disciple and one of the ten venerables.In addition, there are also alliances between sects. Buddhism is good at defense, and Taoism is good at attack. The two factions can complement each other. This is not uncommon in previous catastrophes, but the entire Buddhism and Taoism have never joined forces .

"Buddhism and Taoism are one family after all, but at the beginning of the catastrophe, it is inevitable that each will have their own thoughts. It is impossible to join forces. It is better to take care of each other. If the Buddhism is in disaster, my Taoism will definitely not stand by. When the time comes, we Naturally, they will help. At that time, the Buddhist sect will naturally understand our sincerity, and then we will talk about joining forces, and there will be no problem." Said the old chess watcher in a casual manner.

This is just a nice way to say it, but in fact it means letting the Buddhist sect stand in the front and the Taoist sects hide behind, firstly to avoid the limelight, and secondly, to gain some advantage.

The old man watching chess treats his own body in the same way as his own.

Back then, Buddhism did the same.

In the catastrophe of the divine way ten thousand years ago, the Taoist sect and the god emperor fought to death, but the Buddhist sect hid in the dark, and only appeared suddenly during the final battle.Most of the [-] generals and schools under the emperor's command died in battle, but a small half were converted by Buddhism. Because of this, the law of the divine way was also obtained by Buddhism.

After the calamity of Shinto, Buddhism flourished, especially Mahayana Buddhism, which was unstoppable, among which were the credits of those generals under the command of the God Emperor. By this time, all those generals had become eminent monks.

"It's still my uncle who is smart, and my nephew already understands what to do." Li Tianyi is naturally not incompetent if he can be the head of the sect.
