Chapter 21: The Dream of the Great

While Xiao Qiang's side was running into differences, the major forces of Yunlu were also responding to the changes caused by Stone City overnight.

On a high mountain west of the Yunlu mainland, a large floating island bell wrapped in a transparent crystal membrane chimes and chimes.

In a short time, all kinds of light burst in, carrying the powerful aura of feathered real people and even void immortal monks, and fell into the floating island.

Nearly half of the sect's top brass were killed in one day, and the elders in charge were shocked, and they also urgently summoned the leadership to discuss according to the previous method.

Yunlu has a history of 10,000 years, and natural and man-made disasters are endless.

The Great War of the Sect, the Troubled Times, the Rise of the Dynasty, the War of the Dao Demons, the Demon Tribulation...... The forces that can survive these disasters are by no means simple, and those that can continue to grow in disasters are even more extraordinary.

Although the history of Taishang Dao is not as long as Kunlun, more than 3,000 years of time is enough for them to have an extraordinary heritage, which includes not only those who are extremely strong in seclusion, but also a perfect contingency charter, a consistent leadership system, proven and reliable allies, and the spiritual and material wealth left by the lineage of the sect.

This time, nearly half of the top of the sect fell, although it has reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones of the Taishang Dao, but compared with several catastrophes in the history of the sect, it is already much better.

The main hall of the sect where the elders were discussing was tightly closed, and the jade square directly below the 10,000-level jade steps was crowded with true disciples and management deacons who had come in response to the news.

This square is a mile in circumference, the whole body is carved from jade, and hundreds of thousands of talismans are engraved on the ground, forming a huge Taishang two characters, which looks shocking.

At this time, the monks in the square were arguing fiercely over a statue of a giant dog in the center.

One of the waves was gorgeously dressed and graceful, while the other wave was feathered and robed, and the fairy wind was boneless.

"The soul lamps of the sect master and many elders were extinguished together, and only Meng Liuli, the holy woman, survived, this matter is very strange......" An elegant man dressed in a feather coat and a star crown said loudly, pointing the finger at Meng Liuli.

"Senior Brother Xun's words are wrong." Another demon ~ Yan Nu Xiu interrupted his speech: "Liuli is the first person in our second generation of true inheritance when it comes to cultivation, and even many elders can't admit it when it comes to methods, what's the difference in escaping this catastrophe?" ”

"Senior Sister Zhang." The monk surnamed Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "This time the stars have changed, and the strong people of each faction have fallen like rain, and this faction is hard to escape the blame as the host. ”

"If the worst-case scenario happens, all the monks die and Dream Liuli, the main character, lives alone, how should I explain it, and how should I face the anger of other forces."

When the words fell, the two groups of people were silent for a while.

There are too many people who died this time, and Taishangdao, who is the nominal principal, obviously can't get away with it, and Meng Liuli, an important survivor, is the best person to take the blame.

If you follow the previous practice of Taishang Dao, you will definitely expel the clan, name the other party as a demon sect spy and a demon clan, take yourself out in advance, and then spend a lot of resources to smooth out the turmoil.

The identity of Dream Ruri is not an ordinary true biography. A dignified immortal, the successor of the head of the family is used to carry the blame, and the price is so high that the Taishang Dao can't afford it.

"Liuli is the saintess of my sect, the new head of the sect after the death of the sect master" A gorgeous female cultivator looked indignant: "Even she can be a sacrifice, who dares to worship this sect in the future!" ”

"What if no one gets started?" The monk surnamed Xun disagreed: "The main source of my sect's true disciples is its property and black market trading...... Isn't that how Dream Liuli came about, then it's just a matter of re-cultivating one. ”

"Nonsense! Liuli is also a fairy who has become a fairy. What's more, she not only has great achievements, but also has a relationship with the future strategy of the sect, how can she give it up casually! ”

"Future strategy? It's your outer strategy! ”

"I heard that the Dream Liuli Sect is mainly making something 'Pure Land of Bliss', and it also wants our inner door to join it, hehe...... What a big heart! ”

"Pure Land of Bliss?"

As soon as they heard this, the faces of the women in feather coats who were originally watching from the wall changed slightly, and then they looked at the eyes of the other group of people a little unfriendly.

The system of Taishang Dao is the internal and external balance system, and this system is rooted in the Qinglou industry controlled by Taishang Dao.

Three thousand years ago was not the era of laughing at poverty and prostitution, and the Daomen at that time was an era when conservative forces had an absolute advantage.

Because of the Heavenly Demons' various methods of playing with the immortals, after the third demon tribulation, the ideology of the Immortal Dynasty era was close to collapse.

At this time, the situation of the Daomen was far more unbearable than that of the Hundred Schools of Thought after the four demon tribulations, but they still regarded themselves as Xianmen, hoping to continue the glory of the past. The consequence of this forcible operation is that it has carried out a campaign similar to covering one's ears and stealing bells.

The consequence of cleansing the traces of the Heavenly Demons externally and reshaping the Dao Heart internally was that the Dao Sect became extremely conservative and was replaced by the more dynamic Hundred Schools of Thought.

After the Daomen lost their homeland, they learned from the pain and began to pull the side door left Dao out of the Heavenly Demon into the camp to expand the basic market.

A large number of emerging sects such as Wudang, Shushan, Mingjiao, Jingwu, Hengshui, and Lanxiang were counter-attacked by Quanyunlu because they lost their backing, and they were recruited by the biggest enemy at the moment when they were at the end of the mountain, so they were successively included in the Daomen forces.

In addition to obtaining a large number of Dao calligraphy artifacts from the top of the Dao Sect, they also received direct assistance from giant sects such as Kunlun to change the sect system.

After the operation of "changing the name and surname", these new sects have all become "ancient inheritance".

Because the Taiping Dao Alliance was an important sect left by the Heavenly Demons, its influence was too huge, so it was divided into eight.

There is no stain on the word "Tai" - it is the strategy of the Daomen to use the eight Taizi sects to wash away the pollution caused by the past, to reverse their original functions, and to alert the world to the ugliness of the heavenly demons.

Tai Chi, which improved the physical fitness of the people, became a false example of the unity of Taoism and martial arts, Tai Xuan, who was responsible for guiding the study of new cultural theories, became an antique that followed the rules, and Tai Chu, who coordinated the calendar and agricultural activities, became a tool for the Daomen to cover up history...... And the worst of them is undoubtedly Taishang, who is in charge of literary and artistic propaganda.

Taishang Dao is composed of the department in charge of literary and artistic propaganda in the Taiping Dao League, specializing in performing arts and dances.

They are responsible for the transformation of the cultural level and spiritual outlook of the entire Yunlu people, and other otherworldly dramas such as "Red Lantern" and "White-Haired Girl" in Huaxia in the previous life have been staged in Yunlu.

After being included in Daomen, Taishang Dao was assigned to the Qinglou industry, and the original performing arts and dances of all ages became erotic ~ sex products.

This practice of forcing good people into prostitutes led to a serious conflict between the Taishang Dao and the Daomen Advisory Group, and in the end, there was no establishment of a four-level promotion system like other sects, such as the name, outer gate, inner gate, and true lineage.

Taishang Dao, who does not want to get rid of the protection of the Taoist sect and does not want to lose his source of income, can only come up with a system of one case and two systems, and a balance between inside and outside.

The inner door and the outer door are two different operating systems.

The inner gate is the disciple who cultivates within the sect and is recognized by the Daomen, and the outer gate is the disciple who was born in the Qinglou and is running around.

There is no distinction between the two systems, only competition for resources.

Under normal circumstances, a sect that dares to play like this will sooner or later be destroyed due to internal divisions, but Taishang Dao has relied on the characteristics of its own sect to achieve a balance between the two.

First, the position of the head of the Supreme Dao has always been held by the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden in turn. The Holy Maiden is in charge of the cultivation artifact Taishang Chapter, and the Holy Son is recognized by the Guardian Divine Beast, and the two can speak for the two systems, periodically alleviating the contradiction and balancing the two sides. Second, the Qinglou provides resources, and the inner gate is responsible for the protection of force, and the benefits of the internal and external phase system far outweigh the contradictions and differences, so it has been working well for three thousand years.

However, the advent of the Age of Sail hundreds of years ago changed things.

The business model is very popular, and the beauty rating established thousands of years ago has led to a sharp rise in the market of the green building industry, and the competition has become increasingly fierce.

At that time, Yunlu was in the world of great contention, and the exotic products and cultivation systems that poured into the Age of Navigation ~ made the peripheral areas of Yunlu civilization seem to have a tendency to catch up with and surpass the locals, which triggered a strong sense of crisis among the local elites of Yunlu.

Why is it that 200 years of prosperity is not as prosperous as a chaotic outland? Why did the national power go far ahead of the previous dynasty, but the foreign vassals did not send envoys to learn?

The local elite has not forgotten the five demon tribulations six hundred years ago, and they still remember how Yunlu became the main battlefield of the Beipiao Zero Sea War, so how it became the focus.

The entire ideological field of the Heng Dynasty began to reflect and then a group of heroes competed, and the scholar group represented by the hundred schools of thought organized hundreds of societies in various states and counties, and the wealthy families with the four major lords as the banner sang the argument of the hypocrisy of the real parliament and the separation of powers. The group of officers, led by the martial arts military, hoped to tilt resources and embark on the path of preemptive strike, aggression and expansion.

For a while, various groups and theories appeared one after another, giving their own countermeasures and winning their own believers.

The reformers led by the royal family of the Heng Dynasty eventually headed the path of the Restoration, and the monks of the outer lands were well aware of the potential of their own land, and they blocked the reform of the Duan Dynasty six hundred years ago.

Emperor Hengwu reigned for 44 years, and it was a time of change for Yunlu, and the entire social atmosphere was changed in the collision of various ideas published in the newspaper.

Taishang Dao and many other forces have taken advantage of this shareholder wind to start internal changes, hoping to take the lead in the future.

Relatively speaking, the difficulty of reform of the green building industry is undoubtedly very different from that of Hengchao, but the challenges are no less than that of Hengchao.

The changes in the industry pattern caused by the overseas import of monster girls, the new varieties of angels and demons brought by exotic competitors, the newly rising Mojia organs, the joint group composed of old rivals, and the bottomless cheap service of the devil's secret prostitution...... It's all the problems that Taishangdao, the industry overlord, needs to solve.

The solution of the high-level leaders of Taishang Dao is to upgrade the industrial chain!

In the long run, human skills and service technology will almost certainly not be able to compete with new varieties such as monster Niang and Ji Ji, and cheapness will inevitably slide into the abyss of price war, and lose the brand advantage created by Taishang Dao for thousands of years, so a new industrial chain and professional system has become an inevitable choice.

However, Taishang Dao's huge plan around the new profession encountered variables in the initial stage, and the Taishang Dao Sect Master took a step forward in the battle of Emperor Wu Forty years ago, and practiced the legendary supreme mastery of Taishang Dao, one gasification and three clearings!

He not only gained the reputation of the first person of the True Monarch in the competition with various masters, but also successfully served as the new leader of the Taizi Alliance.

So the original plan was disrupted, and the suzerain decided to complete his work after moving towards the pinnacle of life, not only to upgrade the industrial chain, but also to make structural adjustments!

Break the structure of internal and external balance, carry out internal and external confluence, return to the original distribution model according to work, wash away the stigma of prostitutes, and solve the bottleneck of Taishangdao's development.

In the eyes of the other elders, the new plan was a far-sighted move, but this sect master was very prestigious, and his cultivation power shook the past and the present in the sect, and all the restraint systems had failed, so he could only be left to his own discretion.

In order to guide the confluence of the internal and external streams, the new plan gave up the prudent decision to use the outer door true transmission to open up new professions, and needed to use an inner door true transmission to enter the Qinglou to practice, as a demonstration and role model to play a leading role.

It's a pity that the true self-esteem of the inner door is high, and no one wants to make a drama that is muddy and unstained. Even if this sect master accepts three female disciples in a row, he can't tempt ~ with the position of a saint...... In desperation, he had to let Liuli, the secret of the sect, come to the scene in person.

The sect master of the Taishang Dao does not think that Liuli can take the position of the sect master, this disciple is born with no mouth, no surface, and no heart, and after cultivating the "Taishang Forgetfulness" given by the Daomen, he is even closer to the situation of Taishang Forgetfulness.

It sounds good to be too forgetful, but to put it bluntly, he is not concerned, he is cold by nature, and he values himself more than his sect. Therefore, Liuli can be a sectarian heritage and a golden signboard, but it is by no means an excellent heir.

It's just that the situation is forced, and the glass itself has problems, so it can only be settled.

In the following ten years, Meng Liuli's performance far exceeded the expectations of this sect master, using the supporting supernatural powers and product technologies developed for the new profession, not only opened up the market demand, but also made the influence of the Taishang Dao increase dramatically.

Relying on the Empress of the Oiran at the top of the Green Building, relying on her huge influence, she disseminated the songs through inexpensive musical notes, moving people with sound rather than color, and achieved unprecedented success.

Since then, Yunlu Entertainment has a new profession called Singer, and she doesn't need to be famous for selling her art and not selling ~ her body, because she is not one of those demons~ glamorous sluts. The name of the prostitute that had made the past generations of Taishang Dao sect masters sad will be washed away in the light of the new profession. A new profession that will develop for all ages and the whole population will be freed from the confines of eroticism ~ and become a new art.
