Chapter 405

I went out of the door, and Zhang Renchun, who had already been waiting there, bowed to me and said, "Renchun has seen Shui Erzhen. ”

I stretched out my hand to help him up, "How can Zhang Tianshi be so polite, you and I are both heads of the Nine Courtyards, and we should be equals, how can I accept such a great gift from you." ”

Zhang Renchun straightened up and said with a slight smile, "Renchun was ordered by the ancestor to recognize the position of the head of Longhu Mountain, it is really a last resort, Renchun knows how many catties and taels he has, whether it is seniority or Taoism cultivation, Renchun is at the end of the head of the Nine Courtyards, and he will never dare to lose his duty, which will make the seniors laugh. ”

I nodded, "If it's in front of the same door, it's really understandable for you to do this, but now that it's only the two of us, let's avoid these cumbersome things, Zhang Tianshi just said, I and Zhengzhong Tianshi are close friends, for the face of Zhengzhong Tianshi, let's not look so rusty." ”

Hearing me mention Zhang Zhengzhong's name, Zhang Renchun was deeply touched, "What the real person said is very true, Longhu Mountain suffered a big chaos, the reason why it can get back on track in such a short period of time is because of the great help of the same door, many of the same door so spared no effort to help Longhu Mountain, it is nothing more than to see the face of the first teacher, Renchun is ashamed, even if he takes over the position of the head, but he still needs to use the shadow of the first master to stabilize the situation, in order to live up to the trust of the first teacher, how dare Renchun not be humble and ask for advice from your predecessors." ”

After chatting a few more gossips, I let Zhang Renchun into the house, I knew in my heart that Zhang Renchun chose to visit at this time, not just to chat with me, tomorrow is the day of Zhang Zhengzhong's burial, it stands to reason that he should be very busy today, like this kind of action of visiting other sects to get closer to the relationship, it is very useful for Longhu Mountain to stabilize its position, but there is no need to choose this time, so I conclude that Zhang Renchun came to me for something else.

After sitting down in the room, I flexed the middle finger of my right hand and flicked the purple flame ignited by my fingertip to the roof, the purple flame quickly opened in the air, forming a thin barrier, after doing all this, I put down my hand and said to Zhang Renchun with a smile, "I have laid an enchantment to prevent others from snooping, if Zhang Tianshi has anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Zhang Renchun was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Don't hide it from the two real people, the current situation of Longhu Mountain is really precarious." ”

"Oh?" I said, raising my eyebrows, "what do you mean by that?"

In addition to the casualties of a large number of basic disciples, the heavier blow comes from the loss of Zhang Zhengzhong's immortal death and the loss of the Ziqing double sword, the royal seal real person and the Daozu magic weapon have always been the foundation of Longhu Mountain, and now the Daozu magic weapon is one of the two, although the name of the imperial seal heavenly master has been inherited by Zhang Renchun, but he has no real person cultivation, and he inevitably fell into the predicament of being difficult to convince the public.

Longhu Mountain as the head of the Taoist sect at the same time, is also the leader of the Zhengyi, as the largest sect of Taoism in the world, the members of the Zhengyi are countless, aside from the small ones, just to be called the name, there are Jingming faction, Qingwei faction, Shenxiao faction, Lingbao faction and so on as many as ten, the most critical of which is one of the three top nine courtyards of the Shangqing Palace, also a number of one, Shangqing Palace lives in Maoshan Mountain, enshrined Sanmao Zhenjun, created by Tao Hongjing during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although the time is later than Longhu Mountain, but its achievements are not inferior.

Shangqing palace in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Song, Yuan period and favored by the court, the development of four consecutive dynasties finally made it strong enough to be compared with the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Song Zhezong Shaosheng four years, the imperial court ordered, sealed to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Mao Mountain, Ge Soap Mountain as the mountain of Zhengyi, Shangqing, Lingbao three major factions for the Fu Gong three mountains, after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Shangqing Palace and the Lingbao faction gradually merged, merged with the Fu Zhengyi, the three-legged situation became the Dragon and Tiger Mountain family dominant, since then laid the position of the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Daomen.

Throughout the history of the development of the Daomen, even in the worst period, Longhu Mountain has not suffered such heavy losses, and the sharp decline in the strength of Longhu Mountain has triggered a series of chain reactions, the first of which is that the position of the leader of its own Daomen is no longer solid.

After listening to Zhang Renchun's story, I pondered for a moment, and then analyzed, "Among the many sects in Zhengyi, the most promising to replace the position of Longhu Mountain can only be the Shangqing Palace and the Lingbao Sect, which were both Fu Qi Sanshan, among which the Lingbao Sect has been declining for a long time, and even the Nine Courtyards can't squeeze in, so that the Lingbao Sect is in charge of Zhengyi, I'm afraid no one will agree, after excluding the Lingbao Sect, the one who covets the position of the leader of the Longhu Mountain Dao Sect can only be the Shangqing Palace, which is also ranked among the top three in the Nine Courtyards." ”

"Real person Mingjian," Zhang Renchun echoed, "In the battle of Longhu Mountain, the Shangqing Palace did not hurt any vitality, it already has two real people in the door, and it does not lose to Longhu Mountain in terms of strength, the reason why it has been subservient to Longhu Mountain is nothing more than because Longhu Mountain is the orthodox inheritance of Dao Ancestor, but now it is different, Longhu Mountain lost the purple and green double swords, and there is no real person to sit in the array, Shangqing Palace is a little ready to move, and wants to take the position of the leader of Longhu Mountain." ”

I tapped my fingers on the armrest of the chair and shook my head gently, "No, no. ”

Zhang Renchun saw me coldly come up with these two sentences, and hurriedly asked, "Shui Er Zhenren, what do you mean by not right?"

"What is this seat talking about, Zhang Tianshi is probably very clear in his heart," I said with a bit of coldness in my tone, "For Zhang Zhengzhong's face, this seat treats you sincerely, but you refuse to tell this seat the truth, since your city is so deep, then this seat has nothing to help you, Zhang Tianshi, it's not early, please go back." ”

I stood up, with a wave of my hand, the purple flame that shrouded the room dissipated into the air, I stood aside with my back hand, no longer paying attention to Zhang Renchun, Zhang Renchun was treated like this by me, and he was not angry, he sat quietly on the chair, as if he was experiencing a violent psychological struggle, after a long time, I only heard a plop from behind, and looked back, only to see Zhang Renchun kneeling on the ground with both knees, I hurriedly stepped aside, avoided his big salute, and scolded, " Hurry up, what do I promise you, you are the master of the faction, and you kneel down so easily, what kind of system!"

Zhang Renchun was scolded by my body shake, and then slowly stood up, after throwing out two yellow runes under the enchantment, Zhang Renchun grabbed my wrist, I looked at him in surprise, only to see Zhang Renchun's handsome facial features are twisted together, look at the expression on his face to know that he is very painful, this pain comes from the spirit rather than the body, I was a little shocked, I don't know what can force Zhang Renchun to deign to kneel to me as an outsider, you must know that the meaning of this kneeling is not ordinary, as the supreme leader of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Renchun knelt down to me, which means that the entire Longhu Mountain bowed his head in front of me！

It is not difficult to see from the game between the various sects and factions in the Xuanzhen Zun Classic, the Dao Sect that is harmonious on the surface, in fact, will inevitably fall into the cliché of fighting for power and profit in private, which sect does not want to be strong, so as to carry forward its own Dao system, what is the purpose of holding the Xuan Zhen Zun Canon, isn't it to decide who can get better resources, why the Nine Courts can have a transcendent position in the Daomen, this is directly related to their strength, where the strength comes from, can only be better disciples and more adequate resources, and what is the standard for an excellent disciple to choose a sect, naturally the greater the fame, the betterTherefore, the greater the fame, the more excellent disciples can attract, and the excellent disciples can improve the strength of the sect, and the stronger the strength means more resources, so that under the snowball effect, the gap between the sects will become wider and wider, forming a two-level differentiation.

When Zhang Zhengzhong was alive, he spent a lot of time on socializing, just to expand the influence of Longhu Mountain, so as to seek more benefits for development, and thanks to Zhang Zhengzhong's efforts, Longhu Mountain has maintained its position as the leader of the Dao Sect for so many years, but all this has come to naught in Zhang Renchun's kneeling just now, as long as I spread the rumors of this kneeling, Longhu Mountain will lose face, and the negative impact will definitely be fatal, just imagine, who wants to invest in a sect that can't even stand up as the head of the sect, but on the contrary, this matter will push the reputation of Qingxuanguan to the peak in one fell swoop, can force the head of Longhu Mountain to kneel in front of me, what a scenery this is and... It's cruel.

I finally relented, patted Zhang Renchun on the shoulder, helped him back to the chair, I also sat down, and said softly, "Being kneeling by you, I don't know how much luck I will lose, just forget it, I will not mention it, this seat assures you, what happened just now, no third person will know, but you are not allowed to test me with lies, you can tell me truthfully if there is anything, for the righteousness of Zhang Zhengzhong to sacrifice his life for the Taoist sect, I will definitely help Longhu Mountain if there is trouble." ”

Zhang Renchun wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, choked up and said, " Shui two real people, the truth is not hidden, this matter involves the secret of my Zhengyi Alliance, so it is inconvenient for me to say it bluntly, but I will not have anything to hide in the future, what the real person just said is right, if I am not willing to be honest with the real person, how can I let the real person help me in danger, I cherish the feathers too much, the first master entrusted the Taoist system of Longhu Mountain to my hands, must be to let me be a disciple of the sacrifice of life to protect, at this moment Longhu Mountain has fallen into danger, if I make the real person unhappy because of my inappropriate words, so that Longhu Mountain loses the last hope, what face will I go to see the master in the future。 ”

"Heavenly Master's words are serious, how can I be such a small-bellied person," I comforted beside me, As for saying that Longhu Mountain is in a desperate situation, it should not have reached that point, and the Heavenly Master should not be too unfounded, I think Brother Zhengzhong will pass on the position of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain to you, and he must have taken a fancy to your potential and development, after all, you are still young, and it is normal to be able to defeat these resourceful old foxes, according to me, it is better to give up the false name of the leader of this sect, and give Longhu Mountain a period of time to cultivate and recuperate, and in the future, when the Heavenly Master is successful in cultivation, and then regain the first position in the Nine Courtyards, anyway, as long as you are in the Nine Courtyards, there is an indispensable Cave Heaven Blessed Land for cultivation, you look at the Beiquan Yuan Courtyard, don't you stay in the position of the old nine every year, how, you can't go to the Qing Palace and still want to force Longhu Mountain out of the Ninth Courtyard, then it's a bit self-defeating. ”
