Chapter 170: Daomen
The news of the arrival of the Great Heavenly Master in Jinling Mansion spread all over Jinling Mansion overnight, whether it is the gentry and wealthy businessmen or ordinary people, they all want to see the true face of the Great Heavenly Master, for the people in the world, the Great Heavenly Master is a well-deserved immortal person, not to mention listening to the teachings, it is to be exposed to the immortal spirit, that is also good.
For the people in the rivers and lakes, the four people on the Lao Xuan List are no different, they are all immortal immortals, they are all masters of a sect, and they are all great people. But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not the same thing, for them, the earth master Xu Wugui and the great sword immortal Li Daoxu have never heard of it, I don't know who it is, the really famous is the great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu and the holy monarch Taiyun, Taiyun is the emperor in the northwest, I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, it is rumored that Taiyun is eight feet long, infinitely powerful, brave and good at fighting, slaughtering cities at every turn, and eating people, is a demon-like character. The Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu is also known as the Heavenly Master, which is similar to the title of the master, the emperor, the prince, etc., and there are also those who call the national teacher, but they are confused with the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, thinking that the national teacher is to count the hexagrams and look at the stars for the emperor in the palace all day long, and some people can't tell the difference between the national teacher and the imperial teacher, thinking that the national teacher teaches the emperor to read, which derives the saying that the Taishi.
However, in any case, Zhang Jingxiu is the most famous among the people, which is not his own work, but the inheritance of the great heavenly masters of the past dynasties, and also makes many people think that the great heavenly masters of the past dynasties are all one person, and if they know the name, they know that the surname is Zhang, Zhang Tianshi has lived for thousands of years, but he is not a living immortal.
After the news of the Great Heavenly Master's arrival in Jinling Mansion spread, there was soon another news, saying that the Great Heavenly Master was in the Qian Family Courtyard, so the people flocked to the Qian Family Courtyard, the Qian family was powerful, and dared to expel the unpopular Governor of Jiangzhou, but he did not dare to put on a clear posture to block so many people, so as not to fall into the hands of others, and Qian Qingbai was old and refined, and smelled an unusual atmosphere, the people's reaction was too enthusiastic, not like spontaneous so, but like being instigated, like the means of the Qingyang Sect, but the Qingyang Sect is now a big injury, where will it stir up the wind and rain in Jinling Mansion, there must be other people secretly fueling the troubles, and then think of Su Guan, Su Yunmei's matter, Qian Qingbai did not dare to expel the people. So as the landlord of the Qian family and the Su family after discussion, decided to transfer the place of meeting to the Da Bao En Temple, which covers a vast area, but also allows some people to come in, and the Da Bao En Temple is a royal temple, so that the people of the government can maintain order, the people are naturally afraid of the government, if something really happens, it is easy to deal with it.
In this regard, Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu have no objection, for the two of them, it is just to block the people in the front temple, and they are looking for a secluded place in the back temple. The two of them also sensed that something was wrong, the two of them did not have a secret whereabouts, but they were also limited to a small range, how could they be so noisy now, it was obvious that someone was secretly fueling the trouble. However, this was also expected by the two, Situ Xuance and Zhang Jing negotiated peace back then, but in the end they fell short, which shows how many people don't want to see a complete Dao Sect reappear in the world.
Although today's Daomen is as powerful as a cloud, it has actually been divided into several parts and fought with each other for more than a thousand years. At first, it was because of the disagreement between Nanhua Zhenjun and Yang Zhu
The two ways of good and evil, and later the right way and the evil way were divided again, and now the door has become four parts, which can be called the Jiangnan Daomen headed by Zhang Jingxiu, the Jiangbei Daomen headed by Li Daoxu, the Liaodong Daomen headed by Qin Qing, and the Northwest Daomen headed by Taiyun and Xu Wugui. The ending of the Northwest Daomen can be regarded as the latter, in the end, it was the infighting between the Taiyun and the Earth Master, the power of the Northwest Daomen was greatly reduced, and the Quartet tended to be balanced.
What Li Xuan has to do now is to let Jiangnan Daomen and Jiangbei Daomen negotiate peace, and then form an alliance with Liaodong Daomen to completely destroy the Northwest Daomen, so that Daomen will be initially unified. Who is most afraid of this outcome? The answer is self-evident. In the past thousands of years, the Daomen has never been able to unify, has maintained a fragmented situation, every time a strong man appears, want to unify the Daomen, always encounter accidents, help the weak and suppress the strong, so that all parties of the Daomen maintain balance, no one can annex the other parties, and who is behind the scenes? The answer is self-evident.
What is the key to this peace negotiation, that is, Zhang Jingxiu only needs a false name and does not want real power, and will give most of the real power to Li Daoxu, and similarly, Qin Qingzhi can also transfer part of his real power if he is in the temple and not in the rivers and lakes. For example, Daomen has three Qing patriarchs, if Li Xuandu is successful, he can integrate Daomen, and Daomen has three masters, corresponding to the three Qing patriarchs, and they are tied for the same name. Among them, the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu corresponds to the Taiqing Patriarch, who is nominally the head of the Three Qings, with the heaviest name and the smallest real power. Qin Qing corresponds to the ancestor of the Shangqing Dynasty, and is at the end of the Three Qing Dynasty, the last in the ranks, but he can hold part of the real power. Li Daoxu corresponds to the patriarch of Yuqing, with a name in the middle, holding the greatest real power, and is essentially the head of the three Qings.
This proposal was put forward by Zhang Jingxiu, which can be described as a high wind and bright festival. Qin Qing has also acquiesced and will not object too much, after all, the Liaodong Dao Gate is already ranked at the bottom of the major Dao Gates, which is beneficial and harmless. Although Li Daoxu lost his reputation, he gained real power, and in terms of his temperament, it is very likely that he will agree to this peace agreement. This is the fundamental reason why Li Xuandu has the confidence to go to the Qingwei Sect, and it is also the reason why Zhang Jingshen and other Zhang clansmen strongly oppose it, Zhang Jingxiu in order to appease the Zhang clan, this is constantly giving in, not only took away Yan Feiqing's position as the suzerain, let Zhang Jingshen become the acting suzerain of the Zhengyi Sect, that is, Zhang Jingshen's many transgressions, Zhang Jingxiu is not too much to pursue, just to take into account the overall situation, willing to make up for the Zhang clan with the power in his hands, and strive to reach a tripartite alliance to negotiate peace, so that the Daomen will be reunified.
A unified Daomen is something that some people don't want to see, but today's Confucianism is too weak to start a full-scale war with the entire Daomen, let alone completely suppress the Daomen as before, in fact, Confucianism has never completely suppressed the Daomen, but divide and rule. Now, seeing that the old tricks are not working, the people hiding behind the scenes have begun to constantly stir up opposition forces within Jiangnan Daomen, Jiangbei Daomen, and Liaodong Daomen, and are bound to sabotage the peace talks. Zhang Jingshen in the Jiangnan Daomen has surfaced, and on the Jiangbei Daomen, as expected, it is Li Yuanying. As for the Liaodong Daomen, because Liaodong and Vientiane School Palace have torn their faces, there is no sign yet. But now in the Central Plains
The separation and hostility with Liaodong are also the handiwork of those behind the scenes.
Of course, the unification of the Daomen is still one of the biggest problems, that is, what to do with the Northwest Daomen, even if the Northwest Daomen is weakened once, it is still the most powerful in the Quartet Daomen, so the solution is also very simple, directly the three parties join forces to destroy the Northwest Daomen, so that the Daomen are unified.
Li Xuandu's initial plan is to replace the Great Wei with Liaodong externally, and divide the authority of Confucianism with Taoism internally.
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu had already come to the Dabao'en Temple, entering from the main gate, Li Xuandu was followed by Qin Su, Shen Yuanzhou, Sikong Zao, Qian Qingbai, and Fang Yuan and Yuanjue of Jing Zen Buddhism, Zhang Jingxiu There were more people on the side, there were Bai Xiu of Cihang Sect, Xiao Shiyu of Xuannu Sect, Wuzhen of King Kong Sect, Zhang Daishan of Zhengyi Sect, Fa Nan Shitai of Shingon Sect, Zuo Yuhan of Fa Xiangzong Sect, in addition, Su Yan of the Su family did not arrive, but let his younger brother Su Rangdai himself be present. The men and women of the Su family do not use the same model character, and the man is a single word, and the woman is a double word.
As for the others, whether they were disciples or retinues, they could only scatter on the periphery and block the people who had been instigated by others from the officers and soldiers who had already been stationed outside the Dabao'en Temple, leaving enough space for these sect masters to talk.
The group first entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall, accompanied by the abbot, who seemed to be about the age of confusion, very elegant, not so much a monk, but like a Confucian scholar.
The hall enshrines a very large and extremely majestic golden Buddha, Li Xuandu, Zhang Jingxiu, Qin Su, Shen Yuanzhou, Xiao Shiyu and other pure Taoist people who have nothing to do with Buddhism, avoid to the side, and Bai Xiushang, Wuzhen, Fang Yuan, Yuanjue, Fa Nanshitai, including Zuo Yuhan, who is half Buddha and half Tao, worshiped the Buddha first, whether he believes it in his heart or not, in short, he is extremely pious.
After all, the people who can see this hall are either the masters of a sect or the elders of a sect, and they are also famous people in the rivers and lakes, and they have a little friendship with each other.
After some pleasantries, he finally got to the point, and the abbot left with interest.
The first to speak was the highest-ranking Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, who said slowly: "Since the last time the Jade Void Sword Fight, the disputes in the rivers and lakes have become increasingly fierce, so that the various sects have suffered heavy losses, and it has given the five sects in the northwest an opportunity to take advantage of, which is why there is the death of Mr. Shen of the Taiping Sect and the abbot of the Jing Zen Sect, as well as the later siege of Xuannu Mountain, the disappearance of Mr. Shen Da and the attack on the Dazhen Mansion. Today, people in the rivers and lakes seek nothing more than the word "harmony", there is a way that is a brother's wall, and the outside is insulted, and the same way in the rivers and lakes looks at the "peace discussion" in the water, fire and sword, like the hope of the clouds in the great drought. Today, the poor road has gathered all the people here to solve this matter. ”
