So far, Qi Xuansu's harvest is not bad, not to mention the "extravagant corpse poison", "Xuanyu", and Buddha relics, just the progress of the investigation of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" has already satisfied Qi Xuansu.

If you prosper with this, you will perish with this.

Qi Xuansu didn't want to go to the top because of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", and finally fell into the dust because of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone".

This trip to Lingshan is actually Qi Xuansu's use of strength to fight and the power of the Heavenly Master to fight the power of the Earth Master.

In the specific analysis of things, we must not carve the boat for the sword, and use the past experience to copy the rigid formula.

They are all overhead teachings, and the situation today is very different from the past. When the six generations of the Great Sect of Masters came to power, the three deputy masters of the Great Sect had just experienced the era of the five generations of Great Masters of the Sect of Cadres and Commanders, so the three deputy masters of the Great Sect were able to have a greater consensus while having palpitations, and they could be regarded as working together, and the six generations of the Great Masters naturally had no way to use their strength. After decades of working together, a large number of contradictions have accumulated between the three divisions, and the consensus is becoming less and less. No longer unbreakable, but with gaps.

And the time of the third division is running out, as the six generations of disciples led by the third division have passed away one after another, the seven generations of disciples will gradually forget the memories of the five generations of the Great Palm Sect period, and even many of the seven generations of disciples have not personally experienced the five generations of the Great Palm Sect period, not to mention the eight generations of disciples, no longer unforgettable, and no longer afraid from the heart, just listen to the older generation with their mouths, naturally they will no longer be overly vigilant against the centralization of the Great Palm Sect.

Under the combination of various conditions, Qi Xuansu's statement that it is not impossible to achieve the balance of power by borrowing strength, and its difficulty and resistance are far less than those during the period of the Six Generations of Great Masters.

Of course, even if the resistance is reduced, it still does not mean that it can be done simply, and the requirements for personal ability are still very high.

Next, after Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao left this underground ruin, they closed the "Yin Yang Gate", that is, they restored Yao Zu's painting to its original state, and transferred it back to Yao Zu from Wuxian, and the formation was closed again, returning to a bleak and dead silence.

Then the two waited until the blood moon disappeared and continued on their way to Lingshan.

On the other hand, the investigation of Kunlun Daofu has not yet reached a clear result, and Zhang Yuelu received a notice to go to Yujing to participate in the proceedings.

Of course, it is not to arrest Zhang Yuelu under the pretext of deliberations, but it is just a follow-up to the joint deliberations of the nine halls.

The location has also been changed to Hokushin Hall.

Regarding Beichen Hall, Zhang Yuelu is not unfamiliar, after all, it is her first hall, but just like Qi Xuansu first entered Tiangang Hall to serve but was considered by others to be from Ziwei Hall, Zhang Yuelu was the first to enter Beichen Hall to serve but is considered to be from Tiangang Hall.

In short, Zhang Yuelu's impression of Beichen Hall is not very good. net

After the official start of the discussion, Qingwei Zhenren first summarized the achievements of the past two years, which is gratifying and inspiring. After everyone's unremitting efforts, most of the "nails" were removed, and the situation in the overseas continents and coastal states was greatly improved, among which the Borneo Provincial Government was heavily praised - because Qi Xuansu was in retreat, it was Xu Jiaorong who participated in the deliberations on his behalf, and this was the duty of the second deputy governor.

After summarizing the results, Qingwei Zhenren did not directly cut into the main topic of this discussion, but talked about seemingly unrelated digressions, the fall of the Great Qin Empire.

The so-called Great Qin is a great unified dynasty west of the Western Continent, and its capital is called "City of Seven Hills". There are many proverbs, such as the city of seven hills was not built in a day, all roads lead to seven hills, and so on.

It's just that with the fall of Great Qin, the Western Continent once again became a state of coexistence of various countries, and it was no longer possible to establish a large unified empire like the East. All of you here are second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, and they have all systematically studied Western history and know this history.

Qingwei Zhenren focused on the fall of the Western Qin Empire, in the last few hundred years of the Western Qin Empire, the citizens of the empire no longer served in the army, because the imperial army required up to ten years of hard labor, stationed at the border and could not return, and the military pay was not high, and they had to be born and die. Therefore, the barbarians in the eyes of the Western Qin Empire gradually controlled the army, which is quite similar to the Hu people in the later period of the Great Qi Dynasty. In this process, the civil and military officials of the Western Qin Empire became two distinct ones

Route.

In the late Western Qin Dynasty, the barbarian warlords continued to fight among themselves, the emperor was precarious, almost a puppet, and the warlords from all over the country became the ones with real power, relying on the title of "general" of the empire to rule.

These generals are all barbarians in the eyes of the Western Qin Empire, and the real Western Qin people regard serving in the army as a vulgar thing and never join the army.

At this time, the civilian government has collapsed, and the empire has lost control of the low-level administrative regions, so what are these Western Qin people doing?

They chose another avenue, and that was to enter the church.

At the same time as the civil government collapsed, the Church, which had wielded vast wealth, increasingly assumed the functions of local government, and the clergy became the de facto rulers of the local cities. Therefore, the noble families of Western Qin will send their children to the church and integrate with the holy court to ensure that the incense continues to survive in this troubled world.

This was the beginning of the Holy See's path to the ruler of the Western Continent.

This raises the question, when the civil government of the Western Qin Empire collapsed, why did the Holy See assume the responsibility of the government? This brings us to the university system of the Holy See.

Secondary school was the education needed by the nobility, the gentry, and the decent class. Universities are training courses for clergy, doctors, judges, and lawyers.

The full name of the university is "Cathedral School", and its purpose is to train the clergy, because the Holy See insists that the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures must be based on the orthodox theological views recognized by the Holy See, so the Holy See requires all clergy to receive theological education. And the cathedral school is for the training of clergy.

With the development of the world, in order to meet the needs of missionary work, courses in medicine and law were introduced.

Needless to say, medicine needs treatment everywhere. On this point, the understanding of Daomen is very profound, the rebellion in troubled times needs Fu Shui to cure the disease and save people, so as to win the hearts of the people, its effect is second only to the distribution of food, and the dignitaries of the prosperous era also rely on alchemy to please the emperor and nobles, so as to rise to the top and become the national teacher. Its essence is to dispel diseases and eliminate disasters. At most, it is to seek longevity on the basis of health.

Jurisprudence was more of a necessary means for the clergy to ascend the upper echelons, and the clergy who were proficient in jurisprudence were able to better serve the monarchs everywhere, get close to the monarchs, and thus grasp the power and influence the monarchs, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of spreading the teachings. In essence, it is the same as Confucianism, learning literature, martial arts, and goods from the emperor's family.

For this reason, the clergy increasingly assumed bureaucratic responsibilities and even replaced them after the collapse of the civilian government.

This also makes the university into three basic disciplines, namely theology, medicine, and law.

Later, the aristocracy was no longer satisfied with secondary education, and many commoners who sought to advance to the university flocked to the university, so that the disciplines of the university became more and more abundant, but today the university is still only privileged by students of the three disciplines of theology, medicine, and law.

In essence, the Vientiane Dao Palace is also modeled after the university system of the Holy See, but on this basis, the Vientiane Dao Palace is not limited to three basic disciplines, but a comprehensive "university", the purpose of which is not simply to train Taoist priests or technical bureaucrats, if it can go to the end, then it has already involved the category of leaders.

In the words of Confucianism, the technique of slaying dragons and the art of the emperor's mind are all taught.

If you understand the rise of the Holy Court, you will find that they are not the same path as the rise of the Daomen, but more similar to the Confucian Sect, from dependence on the monarch to control the monarch.

What is the rise of Daomen?

In fact, it is the number of rebellions, after respecting Confucianism, the Taoist gate was defeated, retreated from the temple to the rivers and lakes, and then began a tireless rebellion journey, mobilizing the people to fight against the court and against Confucianism. It was not until the end of the Great Wei Dynasty that he finally succeeded and replaced Confucianism as the lord of the world.

The two lines determine that the way of thinking and acting of the Holy See and the Daomen are completely different.

The Holy See is keen on preaching, and its essence is to reproduce the victory experience of the year, moisturizing things silently, demagoguery, and disintegrating and replacing them from within, so all kinds of female cadres are meticulous, rebellious, and infiltrated in an endless stream, in a vain attempt to make the Taoist sect chaotic by chanting scriptures.

Daomen is also replicating the victory experience of the year, so Daomen is promoted in the New World

He helped the natives of the New World to overthrow the rule of the Holy See, fight for independence, and establish their own kingdom.

Therefore, in unfamiliar areas, Daomen is the undoubted defender, and Daomen needs to constantly clean up the traitors inside and pull out all kinds of "nails". This is the reason why Beichen Hall held a joint meeting of nine halls to target the infiltration of the Holy Court's forces.

In familiar areas, Daomen are the attackers, such as the New World, Daomen successfully helped the natives establish a kingdom of their own, forming a north-south division with the Holy See, and the Holy See was busy suppressing various uprisings, so it became the defensive side.

When Zhang Yuelu heard this, she couldn't help but perk up, she somewhat understood what Qingwei Zhenren was going to say.

Sure enough, I heard Wei Zhenren say, "After two years of unremitting efforts, we have achieved a good situation, which is like a punch from the Holy Court to prevent it. But you can't be too happy, it's not that we block this punch and win, it's just that they don't come and don't be rude, they punch me, and we punch back, that's fair."

"As for how to get it back, of course we can't be like them, secretly engaging in some kind of missionary or infiltration, we have to open up another battlefield, and this battlefield is in the New World."

Qingwei Zhenren's voice fell, and behind him, a huge curtain slowly descended, on which a map of the entire New World was drawn.
