After withdrawing, Cheng Shaoqing and Xuan Jizi talked while walking. Xuan Jizi changed the smile on his face just now, his expression was a little nervous, and said: "Brother Shaoqing, the current situation is very delicate, and there are people in the sect who strongly oppose the patriarch's policy. They are extremely repulsive to the Fire Spirit Dao, so when you talk to them, be sure to dispel their doubts about the Fire Spirit Dao Method. ”

Cheng Shaoqing nodded: "Brother Xuanji, what about me, you also understand." I don't say it's raining under the sun, and I don't say it's sunny with an umbrella. ”

Xuan Jizi knew that Cheng Shaoqing must have his own plans, and he couldn't control them. However, Cheng's plan is not much different from his current purpose, so he nodded and smiled and sent Cheng Shaoqing out of the gate.

The overall situation will be decided, so it is not just one person who wants to see Cheng Shaoqing today. In the large private room of a luxurious restaurant, several guests were waiting for Cheng Shaoqing's arrival.

These people are not others, they are Wang Zhenji, Tong Meng, Feng He and other White Lotus Sect veterans. They knew that Cheng Shaoqing, who had returned from the Fire Spirit Sect, would definitely have a deep influence on Ancestor Piaogao. This is the final decision of the union of the two religions, so they must plan before the dust settles, even if it is only a final struggle.

This is also one of the solid diseases since the establishment of the White Lotus Sect, and everything cannot be solved on the surface. In fact, the things that the big and small in the church have to decide have long been in the secret room, the drinking party, and the back, and the direction of things has been completely decided through the operation of power. The trading of power for money, the exchange of interests, and mutual compromise determine the rules of the game, and the subsequent public meetings are only a temporary formality.

Wang Zhenji waited impatiently at this time and said, "Why haven't you come yet?" Is it appropriate for us to wait so long? ”

As he was talking, he saw Genjiko walk out from behind the screen and said, "Come on, come on." ”

Cheng Shaoqing then walked in, and everyone sat down separately but vacated the main seat, which was actually reserved for Cheng Shaoqing. Seeing this, Cheng Shaoqing did not postpone it in front of the elders. He came to the throne and took off his helmet, but he was not in a hurry to sit down. He held his head high and said, "Elders, Shaoqing is polite here, and I have seen all the seniors. But Cheng Shaoqing said that he was polite, but he didn't see the action of saluting.

"I have gained a lot from this 100-day investigation," Cheng Shaoqing said, "The patriarch asked me to talk to you today, and I don't know where to start, so let's make an analogy first." ”

"I like to hear an analogy," said Wang Zhenji, "and tell me about it." ”

"Fire Spirit Dao...... The Fire Spirit Dao is like a sharp sword, it can hurt people casually, because it is too sharp, this sword must be held in our hands, and the hilt of the sword must be held very deeply. ”

Wang Zhenji nodded and said, "This is true, if such a fast sword falls on the instep, it will be seen in your own blood." ”

The people around echoed and said: "Yes, yes, what Elder Wang said is reasonable, or Elder Wang can see it clearly?" ”

Xuan Jizi heard this, but he felt that it was not a taste, he stood up and said, "Brother Shaoqing, this is inappropriate, you can't say that." ”

"Can't say that? Brother Xuanji. Cheng Shaoqing smiled, "If I don't say that, how can I say it?" ”

Xuan Jizi wanted to persuade again, but Cheng Shaoqing turned a blind eye to Xuan Jizi, turned his head to his patriarch and said: "Seniors, what I have seen and heard during the three and a half months of investigation is the most true, and everyone knows that I, Cheng Shaoqing, do not object to the cooperation between the Fire Spirit Sect and the White Lotus Sect. For the decision of the Patriarch Piaogao, not only do I not oppose it, but I also wholeheartedly support it. ”

Xuan Jizi saw that Cheng Shaoqing said it again, and praised: "Okay, this attitude is good." ”

And the other patriarchs all had displeasure on their faces.

"That's good, that's good."

"Brother Xuanji, come and sit."

Cheng Shaoqing and Xuan Jizi sat down separately.

Feng Hedao: "Brother Xuanji, the younger brother has a piece of advice. ”

Xuan Jizi smiled: "Brother Feng, I will listen to you." ”

Feng He's face was gloomy, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said in a threatening tone: "I advise you not to go too far. Now many Daoists in the sect are wondering if you are a secret undercover agent of the Fire Spirit Dao. ”

"Oh, is it? Hahahaha, that's unreasonable. Xuan Jizi smiled, "How come I have never heard of such a fallacy among Taoist friends in the sect?" On the contrary, I should advise Brother Feng not to go too far. ”

Feng He scolded: "I am above board, I can say whatever I want." At the upcoming meeting of the patriarch, I will still speak out. ”

"That's good, that's good, in that case, let's ask Brother Feng He to think about the consequences."

Feng He said disdainfully: "I, Feng He, am just thinking about the great cause of the White Lotus, regardless of personal consequences. ”

Duan Yulin saw that Feng He said generously, and he took the tea bowl with both hands and saluted Feng He, making a respectful offer of tea, and Feng He accepted it calmly.

Cheng Shaoqing secretly gasped through his nostrils. He knew that the opposition to the forces of the two religions in the sect was a turbulent undercurrent, and Cheng Shaoqing thought twice before making today's decision, but what he didn't expect was that this undercurrent had gradually become a trend of life and death. So, if the two sides fight like this, what will be their fate? Maybe no one can know, right, even if the Ancestor Piao himself is afraid, he can't be sure, right?

Cheng Shaoqing couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he thought of this, he looked up at the ceiling. No more talking.

Three days later, at the White Lotus Conference, the rudder, altars, and branches of the White Lotus in various places sent people to gather in the demon city. The Fire Spirit Sect also sent Tian Zaiyuan, Zhao Zongyuan, Xia Yingxue, Niu Ba and others to participate in the meeting, and the two sects joined hands to eventually become an irreversible trend.

The White Lotus Festival was presided over by the patriarch himself: "Please sit down. Fellow Daoists, back then, we took action to expel the Yaksha King. The first success was in Jiangcheng, and the day of that day was a Guiwei day, and today is the thirteenth year of the White Lotus Sect calendar, and it is also a Guiwei day. Therefore, today's meeting date and the date of the Jiangcheng Uprising are both commemorations of our White Lotus lineage. ”

"This conference is a grand meeting of the whole sect of the White Lotus Sect in Dongtu, this is the first time since the founding of this sect, maybe we should have such a grand event a long time ago. In the past, everyone and I raised things together, in order to pull the Yaksha King down from his throne, how many of our colleagues shed blood, how many young talents and how many talents of our religion were sacrificed, and too many of us did not witness with us today. ”

When Patriarch Piao Gao talked about this, he couldn't help but feel even more sad when he remembered the huge sacrifice he had made in the past 30 years. He took out his handkerchief and lost the tears from the corners of his eyes before continuing: "So this grand meeting is a conference held by us, and it is also a new era for my White Lotus Holy Sect. ”
