Chapter 373: Number One in the World 3
Zi Huangzi felt extremely depressed at the thought of coming here for nothing, he did not expect such a result.

If he knew this earlier, he might as well go around in circles slowly.

He was in a dilemma, so he had no choice but to continue: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with my brother. I plan to join forces with all the sects to discuss how to deal with the catastrophe. I would like to ask my brother to preside over the overall situation."

Before he came, he didn't intend to mention this matter now.

This is actually to let the Taixumen make a choice, abandon the Xuanji faction and support them instead.

He didn't want to mention it at first, because they haven't recruited enough sects, Taixu Sect will definitely not be willing to give up there, after all, there are already Xuanji, Jiuyao, Biliantian, Beiyanshan, Moyunling, Cuiyu Palace, etc. The influence of the dozen or so Daoist sects is far beyond that of the Sword Sect Alliance.

He originally wanted to unite the imperial court and the several big factions behind the imperial court to form a core, and then pull in another twenty or thirty big factions, and wait until the momentum completely overwhelmed that side before mentioning this matter.

Now I have to advance.

To Zi Huangzi's surprise, Li Laodao didn't hesitate at all, and opened his mouth to reply: "This is what it should be, but don't rush this matter, you haven't disclosed the method of building the Sky Sword Boat yet, but you mentioned it early For this matter, others may have ideas, thinking that you are threatening with this, isn't that good?"

This attack immediately hit Zihuangzi's Achilles' heel. In fact, not only is it inappropriate to mention it now, but it will still be inappropriate to mention it after a long time after it is made public. Otherwise, people will feel that they are threatening to repay the favor. .

Zihuangzi felt like vomiting blood.

The three old Taoists came happily, but left dejectedly.

The old Taoist was polite and asked his proud disciple to send them out of the door all the time.

Li Daoxuan waited until the backs of the three people were completely out of sight, and then turned to the side hall.

As soon as he came back, he immediately lowered his hand and asked, "Master, why did you reject them? Wouldn't it be better to give them a little hope and let them make trouble?"

"Interesting?" The old man shook his head, obviously he was not optimistic about the Sword Sect Alliance at all.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked his apprentice up and down. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Daoxuan, no one can threaten you before, so your mood has always been calm, but now it's more A sword sect heir suddenly overwhelms you, and if you have such a person in your heart, you will never be able to be like before."

"The disciple is stupid." Li Daoxuan panicked for a while. He didn't expect that his question would cause the master's dissatisfaction with him. If he had known this, he would never have said what he said just now.

"If you are stupid, wouldn't I be blind when I chose you as the heir of the Taixu sect?"

Li Daoxuan didn't dare to say anything anymore, he knew that everything he said at this moment was wrong.

Seeing that Li Daoxuan was silent, the old Taoist knew that his apprentice still hadn't solved the knot in his heart. If he could maintain a normal heart, he would not feel panic, and he would definitely say what he should say.

He sighed helplessly: "I know, you want to be the second patriarch, but now you find that there is someone else in this position, so your heart is disturbed."

When the old Taoist said these words, his eyes were fixed on the apprentice, he wanted to see the apprentice's reaction.If the apprentice denies it, then he will really be disappointed.

Fortunately, Li Daoxuan did not deny it, but bowed his head and said: "Disciple should not have distracting thoughts."

The old Taoist was relieved that the apprentice at least dared to admit it.

"Wrong, our sect never requires disciples to have no distracting thoughts, but not to be swayed by distracting thoughts. Do you remember the words left by the patriarch? He never thought that he was the one who should be robbed. When others say that, he It will not be the slightest pleasure, otherwise, he will not care, he has never cared about other people's opinions, you always compare yourself with the ancestors, if you do this, you have already fallen behind." He directly Here comes a slap in the face.

"Disciple understands." Li Daoxuan thought for a while, and really felt that he had fallen behind.

"Do you know what's wrong with me?" The old Taoist also thought that his apprentice could compete with the successor of Jianzong, so he simply helped.

"I don't know." Li Daoxuan heard the meaning of the master, and quickly pricked up his ears.

"You have always been very smooth, and you have never encountered setbacks. It is like a piece of good iron, but it has not been forged. Our patriarch has experienced too many hardships. He has been betrayed by others. Some of the people who betrayed him His chief, there are people he saved, and his close relatives. If it were another person, he would have despaired of this world, but he didn't. The patriarch just became indifferent, and he was still doing his job What he thinks should be done, he does it without asking for anything in return, but only for peace of mind."

The old-fashioned words are a bit clichéd, but this kind of place is the easiest to ignore.

"However, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to experience the catastrophe. There are only two things you need to pay attention to. One is to survive. If you die, there will be nothing to talk about. Keep a normal mind, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, look down on all gains and losses of fame and fortune, and don't think about fighting for the first place."

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he stopped. He was waiting for his apprentice to understand.
