At the level of the Great Palm Sect, the selection of successors is not simply based on the distance and relatives, but also on the inheritance of ideas.

Like-mindedness is key.

If the successor and himself are of the same mind, inherit their own line, and even carry it forward, then their status in future generations will continue to rise.

If the successor and himself are not of the same mind, and the front foot of his own death, the successor will be more difficult to turn around, and in the process of turning around, it is inevitable to strengthen the legitimacy through the negation of the predecessor, and it will be difficult to say his status in the future life.

In case, the successor is resentful, and after taking the position, he makes a secret report, lifts the lid, and breaks the idol, then it is even more difficult to say.

Obviously, in Donghua Zhenren's view, although Yao Pei is related to him, there are differences in the ideas of the two, but Qi Xuansu is more in line with his own heart. So it is not difficult to guess how to choose Donghua Zhenren, after all, Yao Pei will always be Yao in front and Pei in the back.

On the other hand, although the people of the Li family also have differences, in the general direction of the overall line, the three generations of leaders are still in the same line, which ensures that the degree of unity of the Taiping Dao at the overall level is much higher than that of the Quanzhen Dao.

As for the Zhang family, it is no longer unanimous or inconsistent, but it directly presents a situation of lack of success, and the fact that the Heavenly Master can ascend to the throne as a descendant of Gu Immortal is somewhat illustrative, and it can be regarded as a first hint. Since Zhang Jicheng's generation, it has obviously begun to lack talents, and it has gradually become poor. In the third generation, there was no one available, which allowed Zhang Yuelu to pick up the cheap and take advantage of the situation.

Seriously speaking, there are still many talents in the Quanzhen Dao, and the only problem is that there are many mountains.

This is not an accident, but a three-way pattern. Quanzhen Dao has the largest number of poor disciples, and it is the most smooth upward channel, so it has the most talents. Although the Li family is a family model, it has a righteous son and son-in-law to supplement fresh blood, so it ranks second. Only the Zhang family sticks to the family model, and the surname Zhang cannot serve as a heavenly master, which will inevitably gradually fail.

Qi Xuansu is an example, and he has gone a little too fast, without considering the competition for the Great Palm Sect, his track is no longer limited to the eighth generation of disciples, but has faintly entered the track of the seventh generation of disciples, and most of the disciples who compete with him for various positions are the seventh generation of disciples. Among the eight generations of disciples, except for Daomen Sanxiu, that is, Bai Yingqiong, who is a very high eight generations of disciples, and Bai Yingqiong and others are only a few years behind the seven generations of disciples.

After Qi Xuansu left Donghua Zhenren's private residence, he walked aimlessly in Xuandu.

The good news is that Donghua Zhenren is willing to help him, and the bad news is conditional.

Not long ago, Qi Xuansu said in front of Qi Niang that he was lucky and had not encountered a moral dilemma. I didn't expect it to come in a blink of an eye, although this dilemma is not big, but after all, it is necessary to make a choice, and you can't have both. Either you have to get it or you have a false reputation.

More importantly, it was too sudden, the coffin was opened for an autopsy yesterday, and he was asked to apprentice today. There must always be a process, after all, it is the master who has been thinking about it for so many years.

No, I didn't even feel sad for Qi Haoran's betrayal, and it was Qi Xuansu, who was known as Li Minghuang's second, who immediately apprenticed to Donghua Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu had an impulse at this time to pluck a branch with leaves, and then count the leaves to make a decision.

Apprenticeship, no apprenticeship, apprenticeship, no apprenticeship......

Resigned.

Of course, Qi Xuansu couldn't really do this, just as Donghua Zhenren suggested, discuss it with Zhang Yuelu, Qi Niang, and Heavenly Master first.

Donghua Zhenren even ranked Qi Xuansu in an order, from easy to difficult, starting with Zhang Yuelu and ending with Heavenly Master.

Let's start with Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu is participating in the discussion, and this long discussion is finally coming to an end. Qi Xuansu went to Beichen Hall, planning to wait for Zhang Yuelu to come out and talk to her about this matter.

Even if Donghua Zhenren doesn't mention it, this is also the proper meaning. Zhang Yuelu has always been an important pillar of Qi Xuansu, especially after Qi Niang had problems, she is the most trusted person by Qi Xuansu now.

Today's business is finally over.

Zhang Yuelu walked alone at the end, Xu Jiaorong and Lei Xiaohuan had their own things and did not go together.

After walking a short distance, Zhang Yuelu saw Qi Xuansu waiting there.

Qi Xuansu also knew that he couldn't hide the matter of his coming to Yujing from the eyes of people with a heart, and he didn't hide it, he simply came out openly, and he didn't see anyone.

There are not a few people who know Qi Xuansu, and when they finished the discussion and walked out, they greeted Qi Xuansu one after another, and the enthusiastic arched their hands to say a word or two, and the more distant ones nodded in greeting.

Qi Xuansu was very busy.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu came over, and everyone tacitly left time and space to this couple, who were the most famous of the eight generations of disciples.

"Finished talking to Donghua Zhenren?" Zhang Yuelu asked softly.

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Go back and say."

Zhang Yuelu smiled, "Okay."

Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to pull Zhang Yuelu's hand, but was gently patted away by Zhang Yuelu: "There are so many people!"

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but regret that he was still too conservative.

But after thinking about it, it's better to be conservative, if you are not conservative, you can't wait for the day when the two meet.

Zhang Yuelu turned to say, "Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?" Qi Xuansu was stunned, "Why is your opening sentence like the third aunt and six mothers-in-law are about to start chatting about the family?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Let you guess correctly, it is indeed the short of the parents, but the short of this parent is not only the short of the parents."

"How?" Qi Xuansu became interested.

Zhang Yuelu didn't go around in circles: "Princess Zhiying has come to Yujing."

Qi Xuansu thought for a moment: "I know that this Princess Zhiying had a relationship with her, that was when I was in charge of the Imperial Capital Daofu, and I also had a little conflict with this Princess Zhiying's entourage. Later, she went to the Taiping Inn to find Li Changge, and you and Yao Pei were also there at that time."

Zhang Yuelu said: "It's her, this third daughter of the emperor, nominally the emperor's own daughter, but in fact, the clan is the successor, after all, the true person of Zi Da is an immortal cultivator, and it is true that it is difficult to have an heir. However, Zi Dazhen likes this daughter very much, and it can be seen from the title that the county lord chooses a place from the counties in his father's fief as the title, and the county lord chooses a place from the prefectures in his father's fief as the title. On the contrary, the princess is not titled in the name of a state like the prince, but with the word "two words" with beautiful meanings. Holding the profit, from the five thousand words of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, holding and earning."

Qi Xuansu asked, "What is she doing in Yujing?" Monks?"

It is never uncommon for people in the royal family to enter the Daomen, and the nobles of the clan who do not want to marry often choose to serve the Tao, and the Xuanyuan Fang in the 24 squares of Yujing is the gathering place of the royal family and the clan.

Zhang Yuelu said, "Most of them are here to see the 'elders' again."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but smile.

This is the excuse of Princess Zhiying when she saw Li Changge last time, in all fairness, it is a bit lame, but it is reasonable.

Daxuan has gone through eleven emperors to the current emperor, although the current emperor corresponds to the seven generations of disciples of the Daomen, even if he adds the Gaozu Emperor who is a generation higher than Xuansheng, it is only eight generations, but in the middle, there have been several emperors' heirs, some because the emperor's cultivation is too high, it is really difficult to give birth to blood, and there are also emperors who left home to the Tao, and there are also emperors who died early, in short, there have been several brothers and brothers, and the throne has been transferred between generations, so there are eleven emperors in eight generations.

Of these eleven emperors, six empresses are from the Li family, and the current queen mother is from the Li family, the niece of the national teacher, that is, the cousin of Qingwei Zhenren. The late Empress Yuan, who is the late emperor of the present, is also from the Li family and is the niece and granddaughter of the national teacher, Li Tianlan and Li Tianyue are all of this generation.

Helplessly, Li Changge's seniority is ridiculously high. In this way, Princess Zhiying is Li Changge's great-grandchild, but depending on the age, Princess Zhiying is even older.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the two families will not be counted according to the family generation, but use the unified generation of the Daomen, the emperor and Qingwei Zhenren are both seven generations of disciples, Li Changge and Princess Zhiying are both eight generations of disciples, and this generation is right.

Qi Xuansu said, "I know why you said that it's not just that the parents are short, look at what this means, the Li family and the Qin family are going to marry again."

Zhang Yuelu said: "That's right, the competition has been

As we enter the final stage, we must unite all the forces that can be united."

When Qi Xuansu heard this, he suddenly had a kind of enlightenment, no wonder Donghua Zhenren suddenly put forward a request for apprenticeship.

If Qi Xuansu is the descendant disciple of Donghua Zhenren, the heir to the mantle, and the equivalent of a son, then he and Zhang Yuelu became a Taoist couple, and they became the marriage between the Pei family and the Zhang family of Donghua Zhenren, not the Yao family.

No wonder Donghua Zhenren deliberately named Zhang Yuelu, Qi Niang, and Heavenly Master.

Zhang Yuelu is the party to the marriage, Qi Niang is Gao Tang, and the Heavenly Master is the in-law family.

The opinions of these three people are crucial.

Therefore, this apprenticeship has nothing to do with morality, nor does it have anything to do with realm cultivation, but only with the power structure.

He still thought less, only thinking about the negative impact of this incident, but he didn't realize the positive help to Donghua Zhenren.

Donghua Zhenren is unwilling to make an intermediate transition, and he must really make his own decisions.

Qi Xuansu said softly, "I see."

Zhang Yuelu said, "But I don't look very happy when I look at Li Changge."

Qi Xuansu snorted, "Do you think everyone can be like us?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "I heard that Li Changge lived in the Imperial Palace for a period of time when he was a child, and the two of them have known each other since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts, which is also the good intentions of the two parents. It's just that when people grow up, many of their ideas change."

Qi Xuansu concluded: "I remember that there is a saying in the script, it seems to be called a childhood sweetheart who is invincible to a confidante who fell from the sky, which is probably what it means."

Zhang Yuelu didn't speak, and didn't want to cooperate with Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say to himself, "I think you are my heaven."

Zhang Yuelu raised her hand and said, "Stop, I know you don't have a childhood sweetheart."

Qi Xuansu sighed, "You really can spoil the scenery."

Zhang Yuelu smiled: "It's a childhood sweetheart again, and a confidante, it's so embarrassing, I can't stand this."

Qi Xuansu hasn't grown a beard yet, the Fifth Generation Great Palm Sect is dead, forty years old beard, sixty years old beard, at this time can only touch his chin: "It's really a little embarrassing, it seems that I'm not suitable for playing this set."

Just as the two were talking, a person came in the distance, and Zhang Yuelu sighed: "Say princess, princess has arrived."
