Zhang Haishi suddenly remembered a joke that the senior brother Situ Xuance once said: "If you think the house is too dark and want to open a window in the house, other people must disagree, but if you propose to remove the roof of the house, the others will come to reconcile and agree to take a step back and open the window." ”

Although it is a joke, it breaks human nature in one sentence. Always like to reconcile, to compromise.

At this time, Li Yuanying's idea was like this, his original intention was to open a window, that is, to nail Li Xuandu to the identity of an outsider, but he was afraid that Zhang Haishi would not agree, so he first asked Li Rushi to propose to remove the roof, that is, he did not agree with Li Xuandu to be the sect leader of the Taiping Sect, and then Gu Yusheng proposed to open a window, which seemed to be a concession and compromise, and Zhang Haishi had to agree.

It's just that Zhang Haishi doesn't like it very much, in his opinion, such a compromise is no different from the market vendors, what was originally sold for one penny of silver, first increased in price to two dollars of silver, and then cheaper to one penny of silver, it seems that the price has been reduced, but in fact it is still the original price. Li Yuanying's concession seems to be a concession, but in fact there is no concession.

However, Zhang Haishi did not immediately object, but changed the topic and said: "The third brother and sister said that this matter is like marrying a daughter, which makes me have some other ideas. In fact, the third junior brother became the sect master, and to use an inappropriate analogy, it was like a daughter-in-law. There are in-laws above who have to serve with filial piety, and there are husbands in the middle who have to take care of them, and there are so many children at the bottom who have to work, not only hard work, but also unpleasant. I often do a lot of things, but I end up complaining, which is really a chore. ”

Li Yuanying and Gu Yusheng had an extremely vague eye contact, both of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect Zhang Haishi to say such a thing, this is not like the words that can be said from the mouth of Mr. Er, who is known for being mean.

Li Yuanying smiled: "Senior brother has won the award, Yuanying is ashamed." ”

Zhang Haishi said: "There are more than 360 islands in the East China Sea, as well as the imperial capital, the east wall has been repaired, and the west wall has fallen again. ”

"If we regard our Qingwei Sect as a big family, the third junior brother is the daughter-in-law of the family, the old sect master is the in-laws, and the disciples below are children. From this point of view, Zifu going to the Taiping Sect to be the sect master is to be a daughter-in-law, and for our Qingwei Sect, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with marrying a daughter. ”

Li Yuanying and Gu Yusheng glanced at each other, even more surprised, and at the same time a little worried, for fear that Zhang Haishi would have another "but".

As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of, Zhang Haishi really came with a "but" and said: "But I thought about it, the reason why the third junior brother is like a daughter-in-law is because there is an old sect master above, but Zifu went to Taiping Sect to be the sect master, and there is no 'in-laws' to serve above." From this point of view, it is a little inappropriate to compare Zifu to a daughter who married out of the Qingwei Sect. ”

Li Yuanying and Gu Yusheng's faces changed slightly.

Zhang Haishi said softly: "What is it called to marry a daughter, Su Yuncheng of Cihang Sect is married to Yan Feiqing of Zhengyi Sect, this is to marry a daughter." If Zifu went to Liaodong and gave 'Heavenly Sword' Qin Qing as a son-in-law, it could be called marrying a daughter, but now Zifu is going to Taiping Sect to be the head of a sect, how can it become a daughter. ”

Gu Yusheng said softly: "Then in the eyes of the second uncle, what should this be?"

Zhang Haishi smiled: "The third brother and sister joined the sect late, and some of the secrets in the sect are not very clear, which is also reasonable. ”

Li Yuanying frowned.

Zhang Haishi looked at Li Yuanying again: "I do."

Forget that there are some things about Chen Sesame rotten grain, one is because of the age, and the other is because it is not very important, so not only the third brother and sister, but even several junior brothers and sisters are not very clear, of course, including the sect master. ”

Zhang Haishi's words changed abruptly: "But Hall Master Li and several older hall masters should know." ”

Li Rushi had already vaguely guessed what Zhang Haishi was going to say, but he was scheming and had already said something to deal with: "Of course the old man knows, but the old man doesn't agree with this matter, what does it matter if he knows it or not?"

"That's true. Zhang Haishi nodded, and then turned his gaze to Gu Yusheng: "Third brother and sister, do you know the origin of my Qingwei Sect?"

Gu Yusheng was stunned, she knew that the Qingwei Sect had been based in the East China Sea for thousands of years, but before that, the inheritance of the Qingwei Sect was vague. For example, Zhengyi Sect, there are records of the way of the ancestor Tianshi to destroy witches, punish the ghosts, and establish the power of the alliance, the Xuannu Sect has the legend of the Xuannu Flying Ascend and leave the scriptures, the Taiping Sect also has the inheritance of the Taiping Dao, and the Jing Zen Sect has the record of the founding of the Western Religion by the Taoist ancestor Huahu, and the other sects are also the same, only the Qingwei Sect is rarely known.

"Do you know why the Qingling Palace where we are now called this name? Because the word 'Qingling' should be 'Taiping Qinglingjing'. Zhang Haishi said: "In other words, my Qingwei Sect and Taiping Sect are of the same origin and depend on each other for survival. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Qingling Palace was quiet, and those who had already known it were naturally silent, and those who didn't know were shocked.

Gu Yusheng did the same, subconsciously looking at Li Yuanying, Li Yuanying frowned, his eyes were deep. He really didn't know about it, but what made him even more annoyed was that Li Rushi, the old horseman, didn't mention it before the incident, which was really hateful. It's just that he can't do it, because Li Rushi is not his subordinate, he can only be regarded as an ally, and with the old sect master, the status of the two is equal, from this point of view, Li Rushi also has a lot of reservations. This made Li Yuanying have to think deeper, after all, Li Rushi is the old sect master's person, is it that the old sect master hinted at something that will make Li Rushi so conservative. If this is the case, does that mean that the old sect master has not completely given up on Li Xuandu?

Li Yuanying thought for a moment and did not speak.

Zhang Haishi continued: "Everyone in the world knows that the Taiping Sect is the inheritance of the Taiping Dao. At that time, the Taiping Road Building was about to collapse, and the Taiping Patriarch was all dead. Only some of the side branch disciples retreated to today's Taiping Mountain. At that time, Taiping Dao swept half of the world, and there were many factions among them, each with its own territory. This is like a big family, there are big sects and side sects, now the big sect has died, the remaining side sects are naturally no one to obey anyone, and after suddenly joining forces, there are many conflicts in order to fight for power. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the palace had already guessed the approximate.

Zhang Haishi said: "The two major factions both consider themselves authentic and regard each other as left. Sects such as Zhengyi, Quanzhendao, and Gesoapdao were profoundly influenced by Confucianism, while these two factions of Taiping Dao were deeply influenced by Mohists. And the Mo family has two major factions. The first faction is the ranger faction, diligent in life and death, arduous and hard, martyrdom to righteousness, and the world is profitable. When the Mo family was prosperous, it was the era when the attacks of the countries were the most violent, not only could not abolish military affairs, but its spirit of generous death was even greater than that of previous dynasties. There are many good warriors of the old soldiers. They formed a group of their own and did not mix with the scribes. The writer called it 'Confucianism', and the warrior called it 'chivalry', Confucianism values reputation, and chivalry emphasizes righteousness. The opposition of Confucianism and Xiaxia, if it is divided into Jing and Wei, has lasted for 500 years. Legalists say: 'Confucianism messes with the law, and chivalry violates the ban with martial arts', Confucianism and chivalry refer to Moxia, not in the rivers and lakes today

Ranger. ”

Gu Yusheng said: "Our Qingwei Sect is the Ranger Sect. ”

Zhang Haishi nodded, and then said: "The other faction, also known as the Mo family's post-learning, is extremely clever and is known for its various tricks. At that time, there were two major factions of the Taiping Dao, one admired the Mojia rangers, and the other admired the Mojia Houxue, which was the predecessor of the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect. In addition to the struggle for power, the two factions also have different ideas, our Qingwei Sect believes that we should accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, but the Taiping Sect wants to recuperate, and from then on it will be in a corner of peace. ”

A hall master asked: "Now that the Taiping Sect still uses the name 'Taiping', but our Qingwei Sect has changed its name, is it that our Qingwei Sect has failed?"

Zhang Haishi nodded and said: "The so-called 'Outline and Eyes', the distinction between primary and secondary must be understood, the two do not give in to each other, and finally come to the point where the sword and the soldiers are facing each other. A fierce internal war, killed in the dark, the masters of the two factions suffered heavy casualties, in the last battle, my Qingwei Sect originally had the upper hand, but the most powerful means in the world, not in the sword, but all kinds of conspiracies, if you fall into the calculation and danger of others, no matter how high your realm cultivation is, it will be difficult to escape the end of hatred. ”

The people here are all people who have a lot of experience, and they can't hear the meaning of Zhang Haishi's words, and immediately a hall master said: "What does Mr. Second mean that the Taiping Sect knows that it is invincible, so it used a trick to lead our Qingwei Sect into the trap that has been laid out long ago?"

Zhang Haishi sighed: "In the Sanssouci Valley of Taiping Mountain that day, the paths in and out of the canyon were all blocked, and the Taiping Sect ambushed gunpowder and crossbows early. There are many dead and wounded disciples of my Qingwei Sect, and I have no strength to compete with the Taiping Sect, so I have to withdraw from the Taiping Mountain, and the Taiping Sect itself has suffered a lot of losses, and I am worried that my Qingwei Sect will fight to the death, and I dare not force it too much. ”

There was silence in the hall, and most people didn't know that Qingwei Sect had such a past, and their expressions were different.

Zhang Haishi said: "After my Qingwei Patriarch left Taiping Mountain, I wanted to go overseas, or go to Bosa Prefecture, or go to Fenglan Prefecture, but when I passed through the East China Sea, I found that there were many islands here, and they were all beautiful places, so I stayed here. At that time, the islands of the East China Sea were entrenched in a large number of idle hermits and many pirates who cultivated the way of qi cultivation, and there were many strange people among the pirates, and those overseas scattered cultivators were also in a good realm, and the ancestors had just experienced a great war and suffered heavy losses, so while recuperating and recuperating, they slowly figured it out, and it took nearly a hundred years to suppress it by force, which exterminated all the pirates entrenched here, and absorbed a large number of overseas scattered cultivators, which became today's Qingwei Sect. ”

Zhang Haishi looked at Li Yuanying and said slowly: "The ancestor once left an edict that he was willing to lose the gamble, and since he lost, he would no longer use the word 'Taiping' as his name, and he would no longer go to the Taiping Sect to seek revenge." I think that the ancestors and ancestors had the foresight, and thousands of years later, there will be disciples of my Qingwei Sect who will go to the Taiping Sect to inherit the master of the Taiping Sect, so I said that this is not to marry a daughter, but to inherit the brothers of the same sect, that is, the heir. ”

"Because of this, in this matter, our Qingwei Sect has an unshirkable responsibility, and we must support the Purple Mansion to inherit the throne of the Taiping Sect, so as to comfort the heavenly spirits of the ancestors of the generations. ”

There was no opposition in the entire Qingling Palace.

Li Yuanying's eyes were deep.

The master of the Qingwei Sect plus the master of the Taiping Sect is not the master of the Taiping Dao?

He originally thought that the so-called "three-four dispute" had settled with Li Xuandu's departure from Qingwei Sect, but now it seems that it is still very early.
