There are three reasons why Si Tiantai was able to control the monastic order of the Tang Dynasty.

One is that Si Tiantai has a long history, before today's son became emperor, Si Tiantai's original name was the Taishi Bureau, and its department was in charge of observing astronomical phenomena and issuing calendars.

Since the Xia Dynasty, all dynasties have had official positions in Taishi Ling. At that time, Tai Shi Ling's main responsibility was to record historical events, compile history books, and also be in charge of national classics, astronomical calendars, sacrifices and other important affairs.

It's just that since the Jin Dynasty, the task of revising history has been assigned to the author, and Taishi Ling is only in charge of calculating the calendar and other important tasks. In the early years of this dynasty, Emperor Gaozu changed the position of Taishi Ling to Taishi Bureau.

Since Emperor Gaozu, the emperors of all dynasties have repeatedly changed the name of the Taishi Bureau, so the Taishi Bureau has the names of the Secretary Cabinet Bureau, the Hun Tian Prison, the Armillary Instrument Prison, and the Taishi Prison. Until today's son ascended the throne and became the emperor, and in the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, he decreed that the Taishi Jian was changed to Si Tiantai.

Moreover, when today's son also raised the official rank of Si Tiantai supervisor to the third grade, Si Tiantai not only accounted for astronomical astronomy and astronomical phenomena, and examined the issuing calendar, but also controlled the monastic order of the Tang Dynasty.

The second is that Si Tiantai is full of talents, Si Tiantai is supervising Li Mi, who is respected as the white-clothed prime minister, and he is a peerless figure who cultivates the intersection of dragons and tigers and gives birth to golden soup and jade liquid. In addition, Si Tiantai's Linghu Jiyun has cultivated to the Dragon and Tiger Realm, and the other four real people led by Zheng Yuan have also cultivated to the Dragon and Tiger Initial Realm.

Moreover, Si Tiantai still has many monks who are away from the mountains, and with Si Tiantai's own strength, he has completely surpassed any monastic sect in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The third is that Si Tiantai can be refined into a large number of soul-breaking arrows, the blades and arrows of the soul-breaking arrows are painted with complex runes, and after the soul-breaking arrows are issued with the Fuyuan crossbow, even the cultivators who are away from Dacheng have to dodge, otherwise they will end up dead.

Although the Soul Breaking Arrow can shoot the characters of Kanli Dacheng, it has no effect on the Dragon and Tiger Zhenren, after all, the Dragon and Tiger Zhenren is already the pinnacle of the world, and can be called the immortal characters in the world.

However, the cornerstone of a sect is composed of many difficult characters, although the dragon and tiger real people are overwhelming, but they cannot make the sect prosperous for a long time.

Therefore, the Soul Breaking Arrow held by Si Tiantai has formed a powerful deterrent to many cultivators, so that some cultivators with bad intentions dare not act recklessly. It also saves a bit of calamity for everyone in the world, after all, the gods fight, and the mortals suffer.

Li Suran pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Although Si Tiantai can deter Kanli characters, he can't deal with Dragon and Tiger Zhenren, after all, Dragon and Tiger Zhenren is already a fairy figure who calls for wind and rain and moves mountains and seas. It's just that Longhu Zhenren is also quite jealous of our company's rooftop, after all, Longhu Zhenren also has disciples, if they don't want to cut off their own sect inheritance, they won't be able to get along with our company's rooftop!"

When Li Suran said at the end, her cold voice had a majesty of its own, which made Li Qingxuan have to think that she was one of Si Tiantai's facial features, Xia Guanzheng Li Suran! A strange woman who was quite famous in the Tang Dynasty and the wild rivers and lakes, and most importantly, Li Suran was actually his own aunt, which Li Qingxuan really did not expect.

Li Qingxuan asked in a low voice, "Auntie, if I cultivate to the Dragon and Tiger Realm, then when I want to do something, no one will dare to stop me?"

When Li Suran heard this, he smiled slightly, and said softly: "The son can be taught, if someone else says such a big thing, Aunt Ben won't believe it at all, but you are not exaggerating at all." However, even if you have cultivated to the Dragon and Tiger True Realm, you can't do something that hurts the heavens and reason, otherwise, even if my aunt and I can't beat you, we can't let you tarnish the reputation of the Zhaojun Li clan for hundreds of years!"

Li Qingxuan's face stiffened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Auntie, do you think I am that kind of person?"

When Li Suran heard this, she immediately chuckled a few times, and she said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's late."

, Auntie, I'll go back, don't forget to go to Si Tiantai tomorrow morning. ”

Li Qingxuan hurriedly got up and sent Li Suran out of the door, and when Li Suran was leaving, he suddenly said: "Xiao Qingxuan, even if you have cultivated to the Dragon and Tiger True Realm, you have to call me Auntie?" Li Qingxuan was stunned when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, Li Suran was already in the dark.

Li Qingxuan shook his head with a smile, and he whispered to himself: "I'm a Kanli character, and I will be called Xiao Qingxuan, I haven't heard this kind of title for a long time." However, the top priority at the moment should be to cultivate to the state of consummation as soon as possible, and then you can start to do certain things slowly. ”

At this time, the moon is white and the wind is clear, and there is no sound in the entire mountain forest, only the sound of crickets comes far away. In the fine house on the top of the mountain, Li Qingxuan put away the "Gidi Seal", closed the door again, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly meditating and practicing.

About two cups of tea passed, Li Qingxuan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he quietly looked out the window. Less than two sticks of incense passed, and a buzzing sound came. Li Qingxuan looked out the window and saw a large number of huge bee swarms flying towards the fine house where he was.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Qingxuan's eyes, and what he saw in front of him was a swarm of ghost-headed king bees, about a thousand of them. He secretly said in his heart: When the bee colony was taken out by the Jade Gu, there were only more than six hundred, and when they came back, it reached thousands, could it be that the Jade Gu found a ghost head king bee hive, so it subdued all the ghost head king bees in this hive?

Li Qingxuan opened the opening of the Ziling bag, and then retreated to the side. I saw that this group of a large number of ghost head king bees flew into the hive in the purple ling bag one by one, when the ghost head king bee entered the mouth of the bag, the front chest and back abdomen were stacked together, and the two pairs of wings were all retracted inward, like a small golden ball, and after a short time, the ghost head king bee all returned to the nest.

The jade Gu landed on Li Qingxuan's shoulder, staring at Li Qingxuan with big misty eyes, the two tentacles on its head swayed back and forth, as if it was asking Li Qingxuan for merit again. Li Qingxuan said with a smile: "Little Jade, it's not early, it's time to rest early." I remember your credit, and I'll buy you something delicious next time. ”

The Jade Gu nodded its small head, and then burrowed into Li Qingxuan's clothes. The cold moon hung high, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the small mountain building.

The next morning, there was a cool breeze. In Luoyang City, Si Tiantai Mansion Ya.

In a courtyard in the backyard of the government, there were seventy cultivators, all of whom were heading for the Nine-Fold Linglong Pagoda. Of the seventy monks, sixty-four were from the labyrinth of the Jingrenfang Guanyao Garden to the courtyard of Si Tiantai.

Therefore, these sixty-four cultivators are also qualified to enter the Ninefold Linglong Pagoda, and the other six cultivators are the top ten people on the list.

Si Tiantai originally promised that the top ten people on the list could directly enter the Ninefold Linglong Pagoda to get the opportunity, but only seven of the top ten people on the list came. Mr. Huang Dongyuan, who ranked first, delayed his trip due to something and has not come to Si Tiantai for the time being.

Lu Yu, the second-ranked Chashan Yushi, was visiting Jiangnan with Master Jiaoran, a famous monk from Jiangdong, so he did not come to Luoyang to participate in this grand event. Huaisu, the third-ranked drunken monk, went to Jinling Mansion, and he was visiting Li Taibai, the Qinglian Sword Immortal who lived in Jinling Mansion, so he didn't come to Luoyang.

As for Liu Ziming, who ranked fifth, he was closed to the Yuwang faction, so he couldn't participate in this Daomen conference. Six of the top ten young heroes on the list have come, and there are only seven people who have not yet come to Huang Dongyuan. Coupled with the sixty-four people who successfully broke through, a total of seventy-one people participated in this nine-fold exquisite pagoda.

Zhang Xuanzhen stood beside Li Qingxuan and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that the Ninefold Linglong Pagoda is refined by Ge Tianshi, one of the four great heavenly masters, and this pagoda has its own small world, and there are countless opportunities in the tower, if I can get one of them, I will be satisfied." Personally, I think so

For, the fate of the Ninefold Linglong Pagoda is better than the Immortal Ascension Diagram. ”

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he asked lightly, "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Xuanzhen said softly: "Although the Immortal Ascension Diagram was left by Xie Zhenren of the Three Qingguan of Zhongnan Mountain, this Immortal Diagram has a lot of limitations. This immortal diagram can only be opened once every ten years, and only three people are allowed to enter the world in the diagram at a time. ”

"In the nearly two hundred years since this immortal diagram appeared, only six of the fifty or sixty people who entered the immortal diagram have obtained the opportunity, which shows how difficult the opportunity in the immortal diagram is! ”

Zhang Xuanzhen paused and said in a low voice: "And even if the three people who win in the end enter the Immortal Diagram World, they may also return to the Treasure Mountain, so the Ninefold Linglong Pagoda is even better than the Immortal Ascension Diagram." Because the Nine-Fold Exquisite Pagoda allows seventy-six people to enter it at a time. And everyone who goes in will get some benefits to a greater or lesser extent. ”

Li Qingxuan listened to Zhang Xuanzhen's words, and immediately understood the importance of the Nine-Fold Linglong Pagoda. The Ninefold Linglong Pagoda is indeed more valuable than the Immortal Ascension Diagram, after all, this treasure was refined by Ge Tianshi, who is not only one of the four great heavenly masters of Heavenly Court, but also the founding ancestor of the Lingbao Sect.

And Xie Zhenren, whose name is Xie Yingdeng, was originally one of the five tiger generals in Wagangzhai at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Because he is good at using silver spears and is invincible, he is known as the general of divine shooting.

Xie Yingdeng was later disheartened because Li Mi, the lord of Wagangzhai, exchanged the country for a beauty, and then returned to Zhongnan Mountain and became a monk in the Three Qingguan of Zhongnan Mountain. During the period of Emperor Gaozong of this dynasty, in the first year of Yifeng, Xie Yingdeng soared in the day on Zhongnan Mountain.

Li Qingxuan suddenly whispered: "This kind of heavy treasure of the Ninefold Linglong Pagoda already belongs to the treasure of the Immortal Family, I don't know who is in charge now?" Zhang Xuanzhen thought for a while and said: "This treasure has always been in the hands of Mr. Changyuan, but recently because of the Daomen Conference, it was handed over to Mr. Linghu by Mr. Changyuan for temporary safekeeping. ”

Li Qingxuan nodded slightly, without words. Zhang Xuanzhen on the side stopped saying anything when he saw this. However, after a stick of incense, Zhang Xuanzhen suddenly seemed to remember something, and he said to Li Qingxuan by means of heavenly escape: "Has Senior Brother Daoxuan been practicing in retreat in the sect before?"

Li Qingxuan glanced at Zhang Xuanzhen slightly, and also said in a heavenly voice: "Senior Brother Xuanzhen, why do you ask so?"

Zhang Xuanzhen said: "Because everyone in the sect doesn't know or understand Senior Brother Daoxuan, if it weren't for the head of the sect and the uncle who said that you are the secret disciple of the sect, the uncles and uncles in the sect would still think that you are a fake?"

Li Qingxuan's heart jumped slightly, but his face was very calm, and he said lightly: "I don't know what the senior uncles and uncles think of me, the disciple who suddenly appeared?"

Zhang Xuanzhen said: "In fact, the uncles and uncles in the door don't know how to deal with the sudden appearance of the senior brother. However, the candidate for the next Heavenly Master in the sect has already been decided. Li Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmm, I don't know which senior brother it is?"

Zhang Xuanzhen said: "The next candidate for the Heavenly Master is Senior Brother Zhang Yingshao, Senior Brother Yingshao is already in the realm of the intersection of the kamps, and he is recently in retreat to impact the realm of the Dragon and Tiger True Person. ”

Li Qingxuan nodded lightly and stopped talking. He knew very well in his heart that he was not a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion at all, and even if he was a true disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Heavenly Master's Honor Position of the Heavenly Master's Mansion would not fall on his head, because the Heavenly Master's Honor was not awarded to a disciple surnamed Zhang.

Therefore, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and the descendants of Confucius in Qufu are also known as the two great families in the world, known as the Southern Zhang and Northern Confucius, so the position of the Heavenly Master is noble. And Li Qingxuan is only a nominal disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, even if his cultivation is high, it is impossible for him to enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
