Chapter XXVII. Responsibility

Hearing Qian Xiu's question, Mr. Yang fell into a brief silence. Then, after a long thought, he recalled.

"I remember my father once told me that many years ago, most of the righteous people in the Xuan Realm came from Taoism and Buddhism. Some of the scattered cultivation sects on other rivers and lakes also occasionally have talented people who have emerged. At that time, Buddhism was in decline, and the Xuan Realm respected Taoism.

Because Taoism is a native sect of the Chinese nation, after thousands of years of cultural precipitation, Taoism has blossomed everywhere in the land of China. From the palace to pray for heaven to ascend the throne, to the weddings and funerals of the people of Limin, there are all people from my Taoism. Taoist culture has been deeply implanted in the hearts of every Chinese people.

Daomen is also based on the Baiyue Sect in Anhui (Qiyun Mountain is known as Baiyue Xianguan), the Bishui Sect in Sichuan (Qingcheng Mountain is known as Bishui Danya), the Ethereal Sect in Hubei (Wudang Mountain is known as the mysterious and ethereal), the Immortal Sect in Jiangxi (Longhu Mountain is known as the Secluded Fairyland), and the Maoshan Sect in Miansu (Maoshan is known as the first blessed land). I, the Baiyue Sect, are also the overlords of these five major sects, and the other four sects are the only ones who are the leaders of our Baiyue Sect.

At that time, in order to motivate the disciples of the various sects under the sect, the five sects killed demons and protected the sect to defend the country. After the joint discussion of the five sect masters, the gold and silver orders of the Xuanmen were cast.

There are eight big characters on the golden order: "Xuanmen Golden Order, those who see it are ordered". It means that the master of the golden order can give orders anytime and anywhere, and the other four sects. Even the entire Xuanmen must unconditionally carry out the orders of the master of the Jin Ling, without the slightest refutation. Even if it is a wrong order, it cannot be questioned.

The Silver Order is under the Golden Order, and in addition to the sect that holds the Golden Order, the Silver Order can issue orders to the other three orders. This is the meaning of the silver decree that it is written that "the three sects are ordained".

The Xuanmen gold and silver orders are the representatives of authority. If any person or sect dares to be disrespectful to the owner of the gold and silver tokens, it will definitely attract the crusade of the entire Xuanmen. Speaking of which, Mr. Yang took a sip of wine and continued.

"From the beginning of the golden order, it was seized by our Bai Yue Sect. For hundreds of years, Jin Lingcong has not changed hands. The silver order was obtained by the Wudang Mountain Ethereal Spirit Sect at that time, and was fought for by the Maoshan Sect at a later "Dispute Meeting".

This "Controversy Meeting" is held once every three years, and at the "Controversy Meeting", the five sects can select their disciples to participate. The first and second sects that are the best in the world can get gold and silver tokens respectively. As a result, the "Controversy Meeting" has also become a grand event held every three years by the five sects. The venue of the event is located in the sect where Jin Ling is located.

Many disciples of the five major sects wanted to make a splash at the contest. And this "competition meeting" has also become a stage for many people to get ahead and show their talents.

The first few sessions of the "Fighting Order" really promoted the disciples of the Five Sects to cultivate hard and hard. Later, after the five sect masters of the older generation passed away one after another, this "battle for orders" was gradually operated by some people in the dark, which seriously distorted the original intention of the five sect masters and evolved into a competition for power and desire. And because of this, many leaders of my Dao Sect have lost their lives. Otherwise, how could it be the turn of the Buddha Gate......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Yang couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, showing a look of grief and indignation.

"Master, the Golden Order has always been in the hands of our Baiyue Sect, and has it never been taken away by another sect?" asked Qian Xiu.

"Yes, the Xuanmen Golden Order has always been firmly controlled by my Bai Yue Sect. It wasn't until later that there was a big change in the entire Xuanmen...... , Therefore, after the incident, the elite disciples of my Baiyue Sect were lost, and the talents withered. At the same time, the sect master was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread. We, the Baiyue Sect, the strength of the entire sect has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to return to the peak moment of the past. The seriously injured sect master, because he was not ashamed of what the other four sects did, especially Maoshan was even more ......"

When he said this, Mr. Yang's eyes involuntarily looked at Zhao Jie.

Zhao Jie was listening attentively. Suddenly, I saw Mr. Yang's gaze shooting at him. I heard that Maoshan seniors seemed to have made a big mistake. Immediately squeezed out a smile in embarrassment, and lowered his head in shame.

"Later, our sect master was seriously injured and could not heal, until he finally died with hatred. Before he died, the old sect master passed on the position of the sect master and the Xuanmen Golden Order to his only remaining disciple, that is, my father. And strictly ordered him not to participate in the battle meeting on the premise that he could not restore the past glory of Bai Yuezong. After my father took over the position of sect master, he was afraid that other sects would use bad means to compete for the Xuanmen Golden Order. He dismissed the other disciples of the sect. took the Xuanmen Golden Order and lived in seclusion. Since then, Jin Ling has not been seen again.

If the gold order is not issued, it is natural to respect the silver order. Besides, after the war that year, Maoshan greatly preserved its overall strength. In addition, the current sect master of Maoshan has something extraordinary, and under his leadership, the Maoshan Sect has now become the new leader of the Daomen.

My father lived in seclusion while looking for a way to restore the strength of the sect. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes. Until he died, he failed to fulfill the old sect master's last wish, and after all, he failed to revitalize our Baiyue Sect again. And my father has never accepted an apprentice in his life, so Jin Ling and the position of sect master naturally fell on my head. ”

"Oh, I see. After hearing this, Qian Xiu said with a look of sudden realization: "Master, haven't you ever thought about reorganizing the Baiyue Sect and fulfilling the last wishes of the two deceased old sect masters?"

"I didn't just think about it......" Mr. Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems that in my lifetime, I will not be able to fulfill the last wishes of the two old sect masters......" Perhaps because of Zhao Jie's presence, Mr. Yang suddenly stopped talking.

Zhao Jie may also be aware of this, and hurriedly and warmly greeted the master and apprentice to eat. To say that the most famous dishes of the Manchus should be the "Manchu Eight Bowls", Zhao Jie in order to please the master and apprentice, naturally he must order these eight hard dishes.

It is said that the "Manchu Eight Great Bowls" are divided into coarse and fine. When the Qing soldiers entered the customs and the Manchu Dynasty ruled the world, these eight bowls still had a very strict hierarchy: there were "eight treasures"; Zhong Bazhen";" Under the eight treasures" three sayings. "Shang Bazhen" is naturally the best delicacy that can only be enjoyed by the Manchu royal family, and the ingredients are definitely the most luxurious. "Zhong Bazhen" is the dish of the prince's ministers and wealthy merchants, and the materials are secondary.

The Qianxiu master and apprentice and Zhao Jie naturally eat "eight treasures", but the methods and materials are also extremely exquisite. The eight bowls of the "Eight Treasures" are: Grilled Pork Face, Braised Pig's Trotters with Soybeans, Sauced Beef, Roasted Carp, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms, Stir-fried Tofu with Pickled Vegetables, Steamed Sugar Meat, and Boiled Meat. These eight dishes correspond to the eight cooking techniques of grilling, stewing, sauce, roasting, stewing, stir-frying, steaming, and boiling. (The Manchu Eight Bowls are a famous cuisine, friends can taste them when they travel to Chengde, remember to find the authentic Manchu Eight Bowls.) These eight bowls are the first choice for entertaining guests.

Zhao Jie ordered these eight dishes and entertained the master and apprentice of Qianxiu, which showed his flattery to the two. Earlier, the three of them patronized and talked, and the dishes were already cold. Zhao Jie naturally called the waiter very attentively and heated all the dishes again. The three of them were taken aback.

After a while, the master and apprentice were full of wine and food, and Zhao Jie had to arrange accommodation for the two again. Mr. Yang refused to accept his kindness: "Master Zhao, don't bother, our master and apprentice may not live in Kuancheng today." We're going somewhere else. ”

"Oh, Yang Da...... Sect Master, in front of you, how dare I call myself a master! In the past, there were places that offended the two of you and were not well entertained, so please don't take it to heart. Zhao Jie said with palpitations.

"It's okay, Master Zhao, when I am leaving, I have a few words I want to tell you, I don't know if to say it?" Mr. Yang looked at Zhao Jie and asked.

"You say, you say. Whatever I say, I'll keep it in mind. ”

"Kuancheng, although it is a small county town, has the existence of the Xuanmen Club, which is a small window in my Xuanmen. As the head of the club, you must shoulder the responsibility of Xuanmen. Don't be obsessed with making money. Some responsibilities are far more important than money! And to make money, we must also know how to get money, and not do things that harm others and benefit ourselves. In the future, if there are people from the Xuanmen who come to Kuancheng, don't snub others. When you are in the Daomen, you must always think about the Daomen, and you can't lose the face of our Daomen when you speak and do things......"
