Chapter 192: The Son of the Family (I)
The young Taoist priest gently pushed away the female crown beside him, stood on the steps of the pavilion, looked at Qi Xuansu condescendingly, and said: "Although my Taoist sect never punishes crimes for words, it does not include demagoguery and demonic rumors. ”
Yao Pei doesn't like to be swaggering, but he doesn't like to be deliberately low-key, so he asked directly: "Who are you?" ”
The Taoist priest recognized the identity of the two of them as Taoist priests of the Four Grades of Sacrifice Wine, and he was still a little jealous, so he moved out of the backer directly: "This is the first time you have come to Wanshou Chongyang Palace?" My father is the chief assistant of Wanshou Chongyang Palace. ”
Yao Pei's response was only three words: "Very good." ”
No matter how much she heard in the study, it was not as real as what she saw with her own eyes.
Qi Xuansu asked softly, "I know who the chief assistant of the Vientiane Dao Palace is, but who is the chief assistant of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace?" ”
Yao Pei said: "Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between chief and second assistants, but some assistants are highly respected and have a more respected status, so they are also called chief assistants according to the gourd, such as Sun Lao Zhenren." From this point of view, this person's father should be Zhang Fuli's spiritual spirit. ”
The young Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.
This kind of topic of "who is my father", if it comes out of one's own mouth, it is undoubtedly inferior, and when it comes out of other people's mouths, it can have a deterrent effect.
Yao Pei continued: "This Zhang Fuli was born in the Zhang family, his real name is Zhang Jiling, he is extremely talented, he has practiced the 'Five Thunder Tianxin Righteous Method' since he was a child, and he is very powerful when he uses the thunder method for actual combat attack, and when he competes with his peers, he has more wins and fewer defeats, and he has a great future, but many years ago he was implicated in Zhang Wuxian's matter, and was left by the Zhang family in a rage, joined the Quanzhen Dao, and changed his name to Zhang Jiaoling. The earth master valued him and made him the assistant of the Chongyang Palace of Longevity. ”
Qi Xuansu understood, he was surprised that the earth master treated Zhang Yuelu too well, but now it seems that the earth master is by no means a whim, but has always liked to poach people from the Zhang family. Before Zhang Yuelu, there was already a precedent of Zhang Jiaoling, and even Zhang Yuelu had the idea of joining the Quanzhen Dao.
Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu is also an excellent talent who has transferred from Zhengyi to the All-True Path.
If Qi Xuansu was a Heavenly Master, he would probably be tempted to question the Earth Master in person: What is wrong with you, just catching our family to gather wool?
In addition, there is also Li Minghuang, the righteous son of the Li family, who was originally also the son-in-law of the Zhang family, but later transferred to Taiping Road and became the righteous son of the Li family. From the small to the big, the Zhang family pays too much attention to the family inheritance and despises the construction of Taoism, and it is no wonder that the river is declining day by day, and it is gradually reduced to the bottom of the three roads.
Now compared with the three realms, the number of Quanzhen Dao is the largest, and the overall strength is the strongest, but it is also the most loose, with many internal factions and contradictions, which are difficult to integrate. The number and strength of Taiping Dao are second only to Quanzhen Dao, but with the Li family as the central backbone, they are united, united and united, with fewer contradictions, but they are the most powerful and aggressive. In the end, it is Zhengyi, in terms of strength and number is not as good as Quanzhen Dao, in terms of unity is not as good as Taiping Dao, and there are reasons such as the Zhang family being too rigid, and it has fallen to the end of the three roads, and has been on the defensive in the dispute between Zhang and Li.
This can also be seen from the ranking of Jinque, Donghua Zhenren is the chief counselor, Qingwei Zhenren is the second counselor, and Cihang Zhenren is the third counselor.
However, this does not mean that Zhengyi is already a dry bone in the mound, it is still one of the three-legged tripods, and it cannot be replaced.
Putting aside the main one for the time being, just talk about the Quanzhen Dao and the Taiping Dao, similar to the Great Jin and the Golden Horde back then, there is no doubt that the national strength of the Great Jin is stronger, but it was beaten by the Golden Horde Iron Cavalry, which is far inferior to its own national strength, and lost its armor. The Taiping Dao is similar to the Golden Horde, and the Quanzhen Dao is similar to the Great Jin.
Even in a sense, Quanzhen Dao is like a miniature Daomen, and its internal forces can also be divided into several factions, the Yao family, the Pei family, the Qi family and other three major families, and the Xu family, the Shangguan family, the Ji family and other slightly inferior family forces, as well as the Wanshou Chongyang Palace faction directly under the earth master, this faction is similar to the Great Palm Sect, they obey the orders of the earth master, it does not mean that they and the Yao family from the earth master are all the way.
On the other hand, Taiping Dao, with the Li family as the main body, and then the Shen family and the Lu family as the right-hand men, there are no other forces with enough influence.
The difficulty of integrating the two is naturally not the same.
Now the situation of the Quanzhen Dao is that the Yao family and the Pei family have formed an alliance, with the local master as the main and the Donghua Zhenren as the supplement, intending to integrate the whole truth Dao.
On the premise of not considering the Great Palm Sect, the Earth Master will hand over the Quanzhen Dao to Donghua Zhenren, and Donghua Zhenren will then hand over the Quanzhen Dao to Yao Pei, who was born in the Yao family, so that the two families will take turns to take power. Although it is not comparable to the Zhang family and the Li family, it can further strengthen the centralization of power, put an end to the situation of several families taking turns to sit in the village, enhance the continuity of various policies, and further unite the whole truth.
Most of the other families were unwilling to do this, they didn't dare to oppose the Earth Master and Donghua Zhenren on the surface, but it was not difficult to deal with a fledgling Yao Pei.
It is the scriptures that are difficult to read in every family, Zhang Yuelu is subject to the origin of a small sect, without the help of the family, but Zhengyi is more harmonious internally, she has received help from within Zhengyi with her own efforts, Yao Pei has the help of two families, but has to face other resistance from within the Quanzhen Dao.
Coincidentally, although Zhang Jiaoling is a master of the earth and is also convinced of Donghua Zhenren, it does not mean that he will be convinced of the younger generations of the earth master, who have been very close to the Qi family over the years. It was only under the external pressure of the Taiping Dao that the opposition within the Quanzhen Dao was temporarily suppressed, and the two sides were still able to work together in response to external enemies.
Yao Pei faced Zhang Jiaoling's son at this time, which was quite a bit of a narrow road.
"Zhang Jiaoling's son, according to our generation of the Quanzhen Dao, should be the eternal generation. If it is according to the generation of the Zhang family, it is the generation of the month. What should I call you? Yao Pei asked.
Hearing this, whether it was the young Taoist priest or the female crown who was walking with him, their faces sank, after all, calling their names was equivalent to scolding. When Yao Pei called Zhang Yuelu, it was all about how Qingxiao Daoyou was, not how Zhang Yuelu was.
However, the young Taoist priest was still a little calm, and said in a deep voice: "In Xia Zhang Yongyan, haven't you asked the names of the two honorable surnames yet?" ”
Qi Xuansu took the initiative to interject: "It's good to say, under Qi Xuansu, the Taoist priest in charge of Ziwei Hall." This girl is a classmate under the next, surnamed Yao, with a single name of the word 'Pei'. ”
There was a moment of silence in the pavilion.
"It turned out to be Yao ...... Miss. Zhang Yongyan said slowly.
Yao Pei said: "Don't call me Miss, you can call me Yao Daoyou, you can also call me Yao Pei, you just said that I talked about the Daomen in vain, and the gossip confuses the public, I don't know what you mean, or what Ling Zun means?" ”
Zhang Yongyan was silent for a moment, and took the initiative to soften: "I didn't know it was Miss Yao, I was offended, and I ask Miss Yao to forgive me." ”
Although the two are of the same generation, he is not qualified to break his wrist with Yao Pei.
Yao Pei said lightly: "The same words, coming out of other people's mouths are talking about the Daomen, and saying them from Yao Pei's mouth is a misunderstanding, is this what it means?" ”
Zhang Yongyan didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent.
Yao Pei is not Zhang Yuelu after all, so he did not continue to delve into this point, and stretched out his hand to point to the many female crowns beside Zhang Yongyan: "What is their relationship with you?" ”
"It's all senior sisters and sisters, come out to enjoy the scenery together." Zhang Yongyan said stubbornly.
Yao Pei said expressionlessly: "The earth master intends to let me start as the assistant of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, mainly responsible for rectifying the internal and external atmosphere, I hope Brother Zhang Dao will not let me down." ”
Zhang Yongyan's face turned pale.
Yao Pei's gaze fell on a very young female crown, and asked again, "Is this also a senior sister?" ”
Zhang Yongyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes...... A nephew. ”
Yao Pei was still expressionless: "Daomen does not punish crimes for words, but will punish crimes for deeds, I believe that Brother Zhang Dao will not let me down." Brother Qi Dao, let's go. ”
Qi Xuansu, who was watching the play on the side, laughed, which was extremely harsh.
Zhang Yongyan, who didn't dare to deal with Yao Pei's attack, immediately held a grudge against Qi Xuansu, and took a deep look at Qi Xuansu, as if he wanted to keep Qi Xuansu's appearance in mind.
Yao Pei's family background is high, his qualifications are good, and his future is promising, I, Zhang Yongyan, am not Zhang Yuelu after all, I can't afford to provoke this daughter of the Yao family, and I have to bow my head under the eaves, I admit it.
But what are you to dare to laugh at me?
Because Zhang Jiaoling is good friends with the Qi family, Zhang Yongyan is also good friends with the children of the Qi family, and he is very sure that the person in front of him is not the children of the Qi family.
Today's Daomen, although the slogan of equality is loud and loud, but when it is really implemented, the children of the family and the orphans from the Vientiane Dao Palace can really get along on an equal footing?
This is just like the "Datong World" of Confucianism, with flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and pavilions in the sky.
The circle of the children of these families has a threshold, what is the surname, what is the rank of the old man, and how the ancestors made their careers, this is very important, and it is related to the question of where you came from. If it is a new nouveau riche, it will not be in their eyes.
As for how to define the nouveau riche, it generally dates back to before Xuansheng defeated Confucianism. This also makes sense, because the people who followed the Xuansheng before defeating the Confucian Sect have become the climate after arriving at the Zhongxing Daomen, and they are generally among the thirty-six Consultant Zhenren.
In the eyes of some families, the people who joined the Daomen after defeating the Confucian sect were not worth mentioning, because at that time, the most difficult period of the Daomen had passed, and they were about to seize the world, and they were not considered to be the patriarchs.
If you ask about the deeds of your ancestors, you will also be involved in various sects and complex histories.
For example, if someone with another surname other than the surname Li said that my ancestor followed Xuansheng as early as the second year of Tianbao, it would be exposed. Because the second year of Tianbao is the darkest year of Xuansheng, he suffered the biggest setback in his life, a great change, the collapse of his allies, only he was spared, and he also lost a realm of cultivation, and the Li family also deposed his heir status, which can be described as a betrayal of relatives, Xuansheng had to live in seclusion for four years, who would follow a waste man at this time? So it's a fake when you hear it.
Therefore, this kind of family circle is not for anyone to enter, just a few simple conversations, if you haven't studied that period of history in depth, you will immediately be exposed, and most of the families are self-taught.
In fact, this kind of threshold is not obvious in Zhengyi and Taiping Dao, because there are Zhang family and Li family pressing, no one can cross these two, it is inevitable to set up this kind of threshold, and the Zhang and Li families can even be traced back to the initial period of Daomen, the threshold is high enough, there is no need to do more.
But in the mixed all-truth path, it is extremely strong.
Although Zhang Yongyan is not a native of Qi Jianyuan's Quanzhen Taoist family, because his father Zhang Jiaoling has a respected status, has an equal relationship with Qi Jiaozheng, the real person in charge of the Shuzhou Provincial Government, and has the name of the Zhang family, Zhang Yongyan is easily accepted by the upper circle within the Quanzhen Dao.
Because of this, he dared to openly travel with all the beauties at the foot of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and he looked down on Qi Xuansu, even if Qi Xuansu was already a Taoist priest of the Four Grades of Sacrifice.
Qi Xuansu was not afraid, and smiled.
The two continued to climb the mountain, and Qi Xuansu said, "Cousin niece, this is the Quanzhen Dao lady you want to introduce to your cousin?" ”
Yao Pei didn't say a word, and suddenly quickened his pace.
