Chapter 365: The Line of the Dao System
There is more than one Fu Gong Tower, the main tower where the chief is located is the tallest, looking from a distance, more than a dozen towers are like a small piece of winter forest with dead leaves, they grow too tall, there is almost no extra foil at the feet, the palace not far away is nominally the center of the imperial capital, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a grass with a poor scenery and no one cares about it.
Shen Hao glanced back, "Have you ever thought that Xin Youtao has really changed? Longbin Hui may be stronger than we thought before, Xin Youtao has never been a strong person, he came to the imperial capital from Pangshan, he was helpless, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Xijie royal family, and then ...... He had to make changes to protect himself. β
Shen Hao's expression was gloomy, he had a similar experience when he was a teenager, and he had to make a choice against his heart under the pressure of his uncle, so he could understand how difficult it was to resist genuinely.
"Perhaps, everybody will change, and maybe he did it on purpose, hoping to push us out of his predicament in this way. β
The latter statement sounds heartwarming, but it is not at all like Xin Youtao's personality. Shen Hao smiled and shook his head, "Xin Youtao in my impression will urgently ask everyone for help when he encounters a little danger, his sister, you, me, and Xiao Qingtao, and possibly Yang Qingyin." β
"So I want to find out what is going on, everyone will change, but there is always an open or dark reason, Xin Youtao did not: he left Pangshan to join the Longbin Club for only a year, and he broke off contact with the princess for just over a month, and time is not the reason for his change; he is a Taoist priest in the realm of Fanxia, there is no need to be afraid of the talisman master, strength is not the reason for his change; he is a prince, he has understood the importance of making a wide range of friends since he was a child, the more he is in crisis, the more he should use his former acquaintances, why should he cut off his arm, and even send a hidden murderous bone talisman to his sisterοΌβ
"You deliberately brought up the Nedan matter. Is it to divert the attention of the Long Bin Club and make them think that you don't care about Xin Youtao?" Shen Hao glanced up, "I think you have succeeded, Qu Xungui is very angry, and this flying talisman in the sky always follows us." β
"I hope that Ryobin will take the initiative so that it will be easier to show his feet. Mu Xingqiu admitted that although he also wanted to find out the details between Ding Wei and Long Binhui, what he cared about most was Xin Youtao.
"I really don't understand, how is the relationship between Dao Tong and the Longbin Society determined, how do I feel that it is completely indulgent?
Mu Xingqiu shook his head. "Qiankun Ding" only records the terms of the agreement, without any explanation, he also has the same feeling, the Nine Great Dao Tong is like the youngest child, giving Long Bin will many rights, he retreats farther and farther, and even does not ask about the world. Of course, cultivation requires a quiet environment, but this is still not enough to explain this unequal relationship, and the Taoist system obviously has an absolute advantage. However, he gave almost a secular duty to the disadvantaged Longbin Society.
Passing through a secluded alleyway, the two returned to the quiet Gym District, where they had little contact with the ordinary residents of the Imperial Palace.
From a distance, the two of them saw a group of people standing in front of the gate of a certain gym, and the bald man was talking about something with a high spirit. It caused bursts of laughter, and there was no reserve of a Taoist priest at all.
Mu Xingqiu hurriedly pulled Shen Hao around the other way, he didn't want to be called over by the bald man to show it in public.
"Bald little bastard, you're talking about how you defeated me again. Shen Hao sighed helplessly. "When I was a kid playing together, I thought he would be a traitor sooner or later, and that's right. β
"Haha. β
"But the bald man is really popular, which is also a good thing. The enthusiasm of the low-level Taoist priests has been aroused, and the Demon Slaying Society will definitely be able to accomplish great things. Shen Hao was also a little excited, "I really hope that Xin Youtao will recover quickly and be able to join us in the war." β
The other way back to the Pangshan Daoist Hall was not quiet, and several female Taoist priests of Chaojing Mountain came head-on, and Bai Tian shouted Mu Xingqiu's name from afar, making him unable to dodge.
Bai Tian walked straight up, her companions deliberately slowed down, she glanced at Shen Hao, and said in a very formal tone: "Fellow seekers, no matter what the outcome of the Combination Argument is, all the members of the Demon Slaying Society in Ranjing Mountain support you as the leader. β
"Thank you. Mu Xingqiu nodded in acknowledgment.
"We support you, not just because you have helped Ranjing Mountain, we believe that you can keep the Demon Slaying Society firmly in the hands of the Taoist priests and not fall into the hands of others. β
Bai Qian and the others walked away, and Shen Hao said: "You are right, someone has already seen the problem of Ding Wei and Long Binhui." β
In the courtyard of the Pangshan Daoist Hall, Yang Qingyin was speaking to a group of newly arrived Pangshan Daoists, "In three days, it will be the Convergence Dao, and Mu Xingqiu will become the leader of the Demon Slaying Society, what else do you have to hesitate about? It is Pang Shan who benefits the most from declaring war on the demon clan, and we disciples can't stand by and let other families laugh at it. β
"Joining the Demon Slaying Society is for sure, but we heard on the road that the competition for the leader is very fierce, at least three Dao Masters openly support Yang Qingyuan of Qishan, and only our Pang Shan family supports Mu Xingqiu......
"And the Ranjing Mountain, they just made a promise. Shen Hao strode over, "The other three Daoists have a wait-and-see attitude, whoever wins a big victory in the Combination Dao, they will support whomever they want." I have had a competition with Mu Xingqiu, and I can assure you that Yang Qingyuan is not Mu Xingqiu's opponent even if his whole body is full of talismans. β
There were more than 20 new Taoist priests, all of whom were disciples of the Five Elements Sect, and they were very excited by Yang Qingyin and Shen Hao, and they looked at Mu Xingqiu together.
"It's time to reclaim the ancestral land of Pang Mountain, no matter who is the leader of the Demon Slaying Society, I will definitely rush to the front with you......"
Mu Xingqiu said a few words, the Taoist priests asked questions one after another, some people were curious about how powerful the mind illusion technique was, and some people volunteered to act as lobbyists, persuading the three inconclusive Taoist sects to express their support for Mu Xingqiu in advance, and after receiving a satisfactory answer, everyone began to discuss the details of the war, Yang Qingyin whispered to Mu Xingqiu at this time: "Shen Jixian is waiting for you in the study, he must know about the Demon Slaying Society, don't let him interfere." β
Shen Jixian is the first seat of the Five Elements Department of Pangshan, and has been acting as the grandmaster for the past few years, and the official grandmaster was just produced half a month ago, and he rushed to the imperial capital immediately after he stepped down, which surprised Mu Xingqiu.
There are not many books in the study room of the dojo, there are more than a dozen Ding furnaces of different sizes, which have not been lit for a while, and they look cold.
Shen Jixian sat on the futon and closed his eyes to recuperate, and did not open his eyes immediately when he heard the knock on the door outside. After a while, the pranayama was over, "Come in." β
Mu Xingqiu pushed the door and entered, and gave Shen Jixian a Taoist salute, "The first to find me?"
"Hmm. Shen Jixian pointed to the other futon on the opposite side and motioned for Mu Xingqiu to sit down, "You and Shen Hao have just been to the Fu Pagoda?"
"Yes, we've just come back from there. Mu Xingqiu was even more surprised, "Go visit a friend, Xin Youtao." β
"Don't go again. Shen Jixian said very casually, but he didn't leave room for negotiation.
Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while. "If there are no rules that are broken, I want to know why. β
Shen Jixian looked at Mu Xingqiu, his beard was as white as snow, and the luster he emitted was even a little dazzling, he was thinking about whether to say too much to an inhaling Taoist priest, "You have done a good job in Broken Flow City, and you have made a great contribution to Pang Mountain. β
Although everyone remembered the war in Broken Flow City, Mu Xingqiu preferred to forget it completely.
"This time in the Imperial Capital is also very good, the Demon Slayer Society should be controlled by a Pangshan Taoist priest. Shen Jixian didn't ask any questions at all. directly said the demon slaying meeting.
"There are no fewer people who oppose me than those who support me, the outcome is not yet predictable, and the Demon Slayer Society does not want the High Daoist to intervene. β
"High Daoist, what a strange title. The Taoist system has never had such a rule, I don't know when everyone, everyone added the word 'high' in front of the Taoist priest above the star fall, in fact, the star fall Taoist priest did not even have the opportunity to leave his name in the ancestor tower. What kind of high-level Taoist priest?" Shen Jixian put his hands on his knees, his waist was slightly bent, and he suddenly looked old. "We will not meddle in the affairs of the Demon Slaying Society, it is a great blessing for you to have this fighting spirit, and we will only watch with cherishment. β
The High Daoist actually had such an attitude towards the Demon Slaying Society, which Mu Xingqiu didn't expect, "I think everyone will be happy to hear this news." β
"Don't say that not everyone can understand the subtleties exactly, just know it yourself. β
"Yes. Mu Xingqiu understood that Shen Jixian was treating himself as a "senior Taoist".
Shen Jixian straightened his waist, "The powerful demon king can destroy a high mountain lightly, they wantonly destroy miΓ¨, and then drive the slaves to go in and pick up the exposed treasures, the speed is very fast, but the waste is extremely strict, and a large number of gold, silver, copper, iron, flowers and trees are so destroyed. After the victory of the Dao system, he learned the lessons of the demons and decided to collect the materials of the world in a different way. The early Taoist priests made a variety of attempts, and as far as I know, it was at that time that the Nian Xin Department shined, and those female Taoist priests were able to control the minds of mortals lightly, so that they were willing to plant flowers and mine, but the strange thing is that although mortals were obedient, they were extremely inefficient, and they were easy to die. β
"At that time, the Dao system didn't sound much different from the legendary demon clan. β
"Hehe, the difference is still quite big, a few words are not clear, you don't have to take it to heart. Later, the ambition of the Nianxin Department swelled and was purged, and the Dao Tong decided to change the way, so Fu Gongke became independent and established the Longbin Society. β
"Most of the Fu Gong masters of the Longbin Society do not have a Neidan, and they will never have the ambition to defeat the Dao Sect. β
"That's pretty much what it means, and there is another point, the power of the Taoist system is too strong, and it is used to govern weak mortals, and the effect is very poor, or that truth, the demon king can destroy the mountain, but he can't keep the things in the mountain, and the Taoist priest can destroy the city, but he can't tell who is guilty and who is innocent. β
"The Longbin Society is not well governed, and the ambitions of the Fu Master have not completely died, they want to live forever, and they will do whatever it takes. β
"But this is not a matter that the Dao Tong should be concerned about, as long as the number of mortals is increasing and the materials produced are not decreasing, the Longbin Society is qualified. The Dao Tong will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Longbin Society, what you see and guess is just a repetition that has happened repeatedly in the history of tens of thousands of years, let them solve it by themselves, even if Xin Youtao is your best friend, but he is no longer a Pangshan Daoist, and you have no power to help him. β
"What if the other Taoist priests are already involved in the affairs of the Longbin Society?"
Shen Jixian smiled slightly, "You can fight back, but you can't provoke, remember, there is a line here, no one can tell its exact location, but as long as you take half a step, it will cause a catastrophe." β
Mu Xingqiu stood up, "For me, that line is at my friend's feet. β
