Chapter 117: Adapting to the situation
The dispute between the three paths has penetrated into every corner, and its shadow is always found inadvertently.
Qi Xuansu understood this truth, and believed that Ichichel would soon wake up, and at that time, she would probably not be so happy.
Who to choose? Is it Qi Xuansu, who represents Donghua Zhenren? Or Li Changge, who represents the real person of Qingwei?
It's a conundrum.
Because now it seems that it is very difficult to be re-elected as the Great Palm Sect, there are two largest permutations and combinations, one is the Seventh Generation Great Palm Sect Donghua Zhenren and the Eighth Generation Great Palm Sect Li Changge, and the other is the Seventh Generation Great Palm Sect Qingwei Zhenren and the Eighth Generation Great Palm Sect Qi Xuansu, no matter how you choose, you are destined to offend one, and the difference is the problem of offending early and offending late.
But it's a dilemma.
However, there is also a variable in this, and that is the West Gate.
Although neither Tantai Zhenxiao nor Gong Fu expressed their position, Huang Fu bet on Qi Xuansu almost openly, because Taiping Dao's radical strategy essentially harmed the interests of the Western Daomen represented by Huang Fu Ji. If Taiping Dao dominated the Daomen and really began to implement these radical strategies, maybe at that time, Zhenxiao and Gong Fu had already ascended and died, and it didn't matter about these, but most of Huangfu was still alive, and he had to face this problem, and he must take precautions.
Sidamen's attitude also indirectly affected Ichchel.
Qi Xuansu can lay out first, and Li Changge, who replaced Qi Xuansu, can break the game with his back hand, but it is difficult to say what the result will be.
One of Qi Xuansu's major advantages is that he has the identity of the Daomen plenipotentiary envoy, and when Li Changge took over, the situation tended to calm down, and it is difficult to say whether he will be granted the Daomen plenipotentiary envoy.
For Li Changge, the worst possibility is of course that he does not have the status of an envoy, but is simply the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, which will greatly reduce his voice in the Southern Continent.
The best possibility is that according to Qi Xuansu's old practice, the status of granting the Daomen plenipotentiary envoy is still calling for wind and rain.
Of course, there is also a possibility, which is to grant the status of a special envoy of the Daomen, remove the "full power", and cannot act arbitrarily. This possibility is quite not small, because the situation is different, there is no war between the North and the South, there is no Kukulkan, there is no need to have a plenipotentiary envoy. Moreover, Qi Xuansu was supervised by Wu Niang at that time, but now that Wu Niang is gone, there is a lack of supervisors, and this "full power" is also out of place.
Three possibilities determine whether Li Changge's start is easy, ordinary, or difficult.
This is also the first official confrontation between the two, the one in the Five Elements Mountain, in the end, it was a little bit worse, both of them belong to chess pieces, and this time the two are half chess players.
As for Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, they were helplessly one step slower. If there is no Qi Xuansu, it will be a situation where Li Changge is in the dust.
Some people may ask, Qi Xuansu was promoted because he had two great achievements, one was to take down Wang Jiaohe and clean up the residual poison of Borneo Daofu, and the second was to catch up with the Westerners infighting, sell ordnance and weapons on a large scale, and successfully complete the financial task issued by Jin Que. With these two merits, Qi Xuansu was promoted to the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall.
Li Changge is the chief deputy lord of the Dijing Provincial Mansion, there is no credit there, why did Li Changge do it in one step? Even if they have the background of the Taiping Dao, the Zhengyi and the Quanzhen Dao are not vassals of the Taiping Dao.
The reason is not complicated, Li Changge will be a special promotion this time.
This kind of promotion is not much, but there have been a lot.
For example, Xiao Yin is, one step to the four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, this is a treatment that the three shows of the Daomen do not have, which is a special promotion. On the contrary, the Taoist priest who was promoted to the third grade was not, it was a normal promotion.
and Lin Yuanmiao is also specially promoted, from a semi-black household directly to a second-grade Taiyi Taoist, plus the position of assistant of the Qing Palace, it is so special that it can't be more special.
The particularity of these two people is not only the special in their identity, but also in their cultivation. Xiao Yin is a cultivator at the immeasurable stage, Lin Yuanmiao is a pseudo-immortal cultivator, Xiao Yin may not care about this, but if you let this pseudo-immortal start from the Jiupin Taoist, it is really a bit insulting, and it will make the parties have a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment.
There is no need for Daomen to create instability for themselves for no reason, this is the case
Be flexible, so special promotions came into being, which is a potential rule that is commonly recognized within the Daomen.
There are two prerequisites here, one is that the person concerned is a Taoist priest, and the problem cannot be solved by granting the origin of a fellow Taoist. The second is that the party's realm cultivation is high enough, at least beyond the age line. A hundred-year-old immortal is not a skill, but a forty-year-old immortal is called powerful.
For example, Ichichel, although his cultivation is high enough, but he is not a Taoist, he can solve the problem by awarding the same rank of innocent Taoist priest origin, and there is no special promotion.
The Li family took advantage of the loophole, Li Changge himself is a Taoist, of course, he can't be awarded the origin of a fellow Taoist, and at the same time, Li Changge successfully accommodated the "Qingyu Pearl", so if he cultivates to surpass Qi Xuansu, he will enter the pseudo-immortal first, and then speak in Taiping Dao, so he can naturally be specially promoted.
To put it bluntly, the background of Taiping Dao is far beyond the age line, and both are indispensable. If you are someone else, you don't have a Taiping Dao background, and even if you are specially promoted, you won't be placed in such an important position.
Qingwei Zhenren still suffered the loss of the third division, the third division is unwilling to promote a new big palm teaching, so he is willing to take turns to live the addiction of the big palm teaching, even if Qingwei Zhenren has a "green pearl", it is meaningless, after all, the status of the second seat of the Jinque Counselor has reached the top, and he can't be a Pingzhang real person.
Qi Xuansu's perfect ending is not only to end for himself, but also to start for Li Changge. Regarding the first move at the beginning, Qi Xuansu has already laid the foreshadowing, that is Lu Yujue. In the next period of time, Qi Xuansu will continue to fall.
On the other hand, Qingwei Zhenren is not unprepared, for example, this Shen Yubing is to give Li Changge a front stand, so as soon as Shen Yubing sees Qi Xuansu, he puts on a posture of disdain, almost provocative, this is his task.
This is also what Qi Xuansu only figured out later.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu estimated that most of his tasks of rebuilding the spy system of the Northern Continent would not be completed, no matter how capable he was, all aspects of Beichen Hall would not cooperate, and Shen Yubing's confrontational attitude on his face would be doomed to be unfinished.
This credit is reserved for Li Changge, as long as Li Changge takes over, all kinds of obstacles will disappear immediately, and then quickly advance, and it will be done.
This will give people a feeling that what Qi Xuansu can't complete, Li Changge can complete, which shows that Li Changge is more clever than Qi Xuansu in some aspects.
Qi Xuansu could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering. After all, facts speak louder than words.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu had to make up for it from other aspects and bury mines for Li Changge, for example, he would definitely help Lu Yujue get justice.
It is true that this is putting private fighting above official affairs, seriously harming the interests of the Daomen, and it is wrong, and it will be criticized by the Taoist priests of the flower garden and the Taoist priests of Qingliu.
But Qi Xuansu didn't have a choice, they made the first move, didn't Qi Xuansu fight back? The more they retreat, the more they have to advance, and only a strong counterattack can maintain balance and stability and create a short-term peace.
Only by fighting can the war be stopped.
Struggle is the eternal theme of human beings, and as long as desire is still there and human nature is still there, it will not stop. As for the flower garden Taoist priests and Qingliu Taoist priests, they are just not involved. People who have never picked it up, but they are talking about putting it down, which is also unbearable. Not being able to get in touch with the world and not being in touch with the world are two completely different concepts.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also wants to minimize the negative impact of his inability to complete the reconstruction of the espionage system in the Northern Continent, that is, to cover up the past with other greater achievements, just like Emperor Taizong of Great Qi, his exploits as an emperor are too dazzling, so killing his brother and imprisoning his father becomes irrelevant.
The results still have to be on the abolition of the blood sacrifice and the extermination of the insects.
Since there is no limit to the means, the methods of the Absolute Holy Church will inevitably be more drastic, even a little cruel.
Through interrogation, the Absolute Holy Church now knows the approximate location of the Blue Cloud Sect, which is located in the sea area between the Southern Continent and Luo Suo Continent, it is a huge island, surrounded by various formations, and if you want to infiltrate it, it will take some effort.
The Absolute Holy Church has considered the possibility of a strong attack, but that island can move on its own, the movement of the strong attack is too large, and the vast sea, I am afraid that before the fleet discovers Blue Cloud Island, the insects on the island have already noticed it and evacuated first. And in the chaos
Among them, it is also difficult to completely annihilate the insects. Therefore, the best way is to infiltrate the interior of Blue Cloud Island first, and after finding out the situation, attack inside and outside, and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
This method was agreed upon from above, and the Absolute Holy Church had already begun selecting personnel for the first infiltration. Worm people can disguise themselves as normal people, then normal people can naturally disguise worm people, before returning to the mother nest, each worm person is an independent individual, and does not share thoughts, or can be confused.
Taiying originally wanted to go out in person, but was persuaded by his subordinates, hearing that those insects were human, in case Taiying fell into their hands, they couldn't afford this responsibility. The thunderous anger of the real people of the Taitai is no joke.
On the other hand, regarding the abolition of the blood sacrifice, Qi Xuansu put forward another opinion, which cannot be stopped only by violent means, but should be stopped spontaneously.
On the one hand, of course, it is the work of edification, which makes people realize that this is a wrong behavior.
On the other hand, it is to open up more land and build more workshops. When there is more land and more workshops, there will be a shortage of manpower, and the value of people as labor will continue to rise. From the point of view of profit, it is very uneconomical to sacrifice a large number of laborers in vain. For the sake of profit, people can sell the rope that hangs themselves, not to mention anything else. For the sake of profit, it is natural that the blood sacrifice can also be abolished spontaneously.
Adapting to the situation is to follow the trend, *** is just a symptom, and the development of the world is the root cause.
This is linked to the aspect that Huangfu is extremely responsible for, Xidaomen has long seen this, but in the past years of war, he can't take care of this. Now that we have our hands free, we naturally have to focus our energies on development, and although it is inevitable that we will be in pain, as long as we succeed, many problems will be solved.
