After the banquet was dispersed, Huang Fu had something to do, so he took a step first. Li Changge stopped Qi Xuansu: "Brother Tianyuan Dao, please wait a minute, I want to talk to you alone."

As soon as these words came out, both the people from Ziwei Hall and the people from Beichen Hall were a little frozen.

They didn't know what the mystery of that gift was, but judging by Li Changge's reaction, it shouldn't be a good thing.

This seems to be Qi Zhenren and Li Zhenren competing, looking at the Great Daomen, among the eight generations of disciples, that is, these two can be called opponents, even if Zhang Zhenren and Yao Zhenren are slightly inferior.

If the two of them don't agree and start to fight, how can it end, do you expect them to fight?

It's just that Huangfu Zhenren is still gone, is it too late to chase Huangfu Zhenren back now?

The people of Beichentang are even more difficult, an old boss, a new boss, is in the handover, how can they be good?

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, but still said to the others: "Lu Fuli, Shen Fuli, you accompany Deputy Hall Master Xu to do some activities, and I will sit alone with Brother Yongyan."

The two of them glanced at Li Changge and should go.

Not long after, everyone retreated, leaving only Qi Xuansu and Li Changge.

Qi Xuansu was not afraid of Li Changge's situation. Although Li Changge has entered the pseudo-immortal stage, Qi Xuansu has the help of He Luoshen, and he also has the strength of a pseudo-immortal, so if he really wants to do it, he is not afraid of anything.

There is also a small hall behind the flower hall, which can be called a lounge in Westerner parlance.

"Brother Tianyuan Dao, please." Li Changge leaned sideways and stretched out his hand in the direction of the lounge.

Qi Xuansu also stretched out his hand: "Please."

The two of them came to the lounge together, and this is the west

The advantage is that the priority is not so clear, and the two of them sit on the sofa.

Li Changge took the initiative to speak: "Brother Tianyuan Dao introduced the situation in the Southern Continent just now, I actually have something to say, but the real person of Huangfu is present, it is difficult to speak, now there are only the two of us, then I will speak bluntly."

Qi Xuansu said, "Listen to me."

Li Changge said: "On the issue of handling the affairs of the Southern Continent, I have some differences with Brother Tianyuan Dao, others say that I am a radical and that Brother Tianyuan Daoist is a conservative. Radical or conservative, our goal is the same, we all want to make the Daomen better, but the means are different. This is especially true of the word 'unity'."

Qi Xuansu said, "Isn't this bad? This was Xuan Sheng's decision back then."

Li Changge said: "Adapt measures to local conditions, change with the times, the current situation is no longer the same as the situation of Xuan Sheng's back then, and the natural methods and methods must also change, if you still hold on to the previous methods, wouldn't it be conformist and path dependent? What is the difference between it and the Confucian people of the past?"

Qi Xuansu said, "I would like to hear it in detail."

Li Changge said: "Unity is of course good, but there is no unity that comes in vain, and it is not just empty words that people are willing to stand with us. At that time, Xuansheng's strength was weak, and in order to unite some neutral forces, he also paid a price, to put it bluntly, he had to make a wish."

These words couldn't hurt Qi Xuansu, and Li Changge also said it after seeing it.

The reason is very simple, Qi Xuansu belongs to the vein of Donghua Zhenren, and the Pei family was a disciple of Xuansheng back then, and it was also the descendant of the lineage, especially the Zhou family because of Qingping

After the things of the meeting made a big move, the Pei family became the only seedling. Now there is also a saying about competing with the Li family, descendants are descendants, and disciples and grandchildren are also descendants, and they are all heirs of Xuansheng.

Therefore, the Donghua lineage is obviously not in the scope of the so-called neutral forces, but belongs to the basic plate of Xuansheng, and like the Li family, they are the most loyal, even more loyal than the Li family.

Li Changge gave an example: "Take the Qi family, which has the same surname as Brother Tianyuan Dao, for example, why did they return to Xuansheng in the Shushan lineage back then? It wasn't because Xuan Sheng sent people to lobby and promise that the thirty-six real people of Jinque would have a place in the future, so they would be obedient. A seat that knows real people, that's the price of unity."

"Of course, I'm not denying the Xuansheng's approach, because the Xuansheng at that time was weak and Confucian

The door is too big to do as a last resort, and this is the least costly and most reasonable way."

"But now it's different, today's Daomen is no longer the weak side, but rich all over the world, owning half of the world, you don't have to look at anyone's face, and then use the strategy that Xuan Sheng used when he was weak, is it a bit out of place?"

Qi Xuansu was silent.

Li Changge continued: "Unity is to redeem with benefits, where do benefits come from? This is the most critical question. Interests are not born in a vacuum, they are created by people. It must be to the detriment of the interests of the majority of the people to buy off the minority."

"Isn't this a crying child with milk, and whoever makes trouble is justified? In the long run, ordinary Taoist priests will become more and more dissatisfied, and will take the initiative to get rid of these responsibilities that should not belong to them."

"For a man, the result of de-responsibility is nothing more than not supporting his wife and children

。 But what happens if the main body of the Dao Gate doesn't want to be responsible?"

Qi Xuansu was silent for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't refute Li Changge: "I generally agree with Brother Yongyan Dao's opinion, you can't blindly rely on paths, you can't blindly stick to the rules, I just say one thing."

Li Changge looked at Qi Xuansu: "Brother Tianyuan Dao, please speak."

Qi Xuansu said, "Is the West Dao Sect a member of the Dao Sect? Or is it a neutral force independent of the Daomen?"

This time, Li Changge was silent.

It's a difficult question to answer.

In fact, Xidaomen is indeed a force independent of Daomen, with considerable autonomy and independence. Correctly speaking, Xidaomen is a part of the Daomen, strictly speaking, today's Daomen plus the Daxuan Imperial Court plus the Xidaomen, it can be regarded as a complete Daomen, if the Xidaomen is a member of the Daomen, then it is also necessary to deny the Daxuan Imperial Court, which shakes the foundation.

No matter how transcendent Li Changge's status is, even if he is a big master, he doesn't dare to say this, let alone say this.

Qi Xuansu didn't force Li Changge to show his attitude, but instead said, "Or to put it another way, has Daomen's various inputs and assistance to Xidaomen received corresponding benefits? Not just economic benefits, but also unseen benefits such as strategic situation, perceived impact, and defense spending."

Li Changge also had to admit: "Indeed, the reason why Daomen continues to support Xidaomen is not only the friendship of the same door, but also contains huge benefits. The existence of the West Gate has made a major change in the strategic situation of the Daomen, and a large number of defenses have been reduced

business expenditure, to obtain a relatively stable external environment. It can be said that Xidaomen is more like a border town of Daomen."

Qi Xuansu said, "In that case, why can't we cooperate for a win-win situation? In other words, this is a model of win-win cooperation, how can it be called a redemption?"

Li Changge said, "I don't deny this, but wouldn't it be better to unify the Dao Sect?"

Qi Xuansu asked rhetorically, "Can the Great Xuan Imperial Court turn back into the North Daomen? If it can, then so can Xidaomen."

Li Changge said: "I heard that the Heavenly Master once had a divination, and saw the emperor's crown fall to the ground, the stars shifted, and there was something new in the world."

Qi Xuansu leaned back on the sofa: "Uniting others, cooperating for win-win results, and unifying the Daomen are actually three things, which may be related, but they cannot be generalized. I think this is precisely the past, present, and future of Daomen. In the past, when the Daomen was weak, they had to unite others. Now the Daomen is strong, win-win cooperation, and everyone takes what they need. In the future, I believe that the Daomen will become stronger, complete the unfinished business of our predecessors, and move towards unification."

Li Changge did not speak.

Qi Xuansu continued, "Of course, I agree with Yongyan Daoyou's view that it is neither fair nor sustainable to buy a small number of people in a way that harms the interests of the majority. It's just that Xidaomen doesn't belong to a small number of people, and the rewards we get from it don't harm the interests of the majority, and this still needs to be clarified."

Li Changge was silent for a moment and stood up: "It's not too early, let's talk about it here today, and then we will have a long talk another day."

This exchange was an attempt by Li Changge, and Qi Xuansu did not refuse anyone

Inside and outside, no

It's hard to say who failed to convince anyone.

Qi Xuansu also stood up and shook hands with Li Changge with Westerner etiquette.

One of the interesting aspects of this ritual is that it makes it clear that there is no weapon in the hand, which in turn leads to the meaning of not using the hand. The meaning of holding a fist in this regard is a little weaker, according to the Oriental custom, before the start of the fight, it is also necessary to symbolically hug the fist, and even hold a weapon can also hold a fist.

Of course, this does not mean that the two shook hands and made peace, but that the two would not compete with each other in their own hands.

The two walked out together, Lu Yujue and the others said that they were going to do something, but they were actually guarding outside the flower hall, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them coming out together.

It's good that they didn't fight, it seems that the two real people still have determination and self-cultivation.

Qi Xuansu and Li Changge officially said goodbye at the door of the Taiping Inn, very polite, and those who didn't know thought that the two had been friends for many years.

Qi Xuansu said to Lu Yujue, Shen Yubing and the others, "You can go back with Chief Li, and report directly to Chief Li if you have anything in the future."

This sentence indicates that Qi Xuansu has officially resigned from his various positions in the Southern Continent, and now he is just an ordinary real person for the time being.

The deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, who sent Li Changge to his post, followed Qi Xuansu's side.

It is equivalent to Qi Xuansu and Li Changge switching positions.

However, stepping down from his post does not mean that Qi Xuansu's influence has completely disappeared, Zhou Mengyao, Qi Niang, and Li Tianzhen are all four-grade wine Taoist priests, and they can also call the wind and rain, which shows that it is not absolute.

Take the deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, Xu Wei, who is next to Qi Xuansu

is a subordinate to himself, after all, the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren is here, not to mention that Qi Xuansu only temporarily lost his position, even if Qi Xuansu had a problem like Zhou Mengyao, he didn't dare to slack off half a point.

Li Changge left with the people, while Qi Xuansu and Deputy Hall Master Xu stayed at the Taiping Inn, where they would stay for one night and set off tomorrow morning.
