If it weren't for Grandmaster Pang Shan, who had been acting for more than five years, Shen Jixian would not have been able to know the complicated relationship between Tong and the Longbin Society.

For the Dao Sect, mortals have two vital roles, one is to select qualified disciples from them, and the other is to provide a steady stream of materials.

Once the Taoist priests are obsessed with cultivation, they will not be particularly interested in giving birth to offspring, more than half of them will not have offspring even if they have married mortal fate and Taoist fate, and most of the rest will only have one, like Shen Zhun and Yang Baozhen, Taoist priests who have given birth to ten children are very rare in the Taoist system, and in the end they still have to replenish a large number of disciples from among mortals.

The Taoist system requires a variety of materials, as many as tens of thousands, and if each of them is collected by a Taoist priest, it will greatly affect the cultivation, but fortunately, these things can be done by mortals, and it becomes a natural choice to hand them over.

These two roles have a common requirement for mortals, that is, there are many people, and the more people there are, the more Dao roots and materials that may be generated, this is all the requirements of the Dao system, as long as they are met, nothing else matters.

In order to allow the human race to reproduce in large numbers, the Dao Tong made a variety of attempts, each of which gave up a little power, and finally handed over almost the entire human world to the Dragon Bin Society.

"Don't think that the Dao Tong is turning a blind eye to what the Dragon Bin Society is doing. Shen Jixian found that some things were particularly laborious to explain, Mu Xingqiu was just an inhaling Taoist priest, and he had only lived for less than thirty years, which was almost no different from the insects that were born at the beginning of summer and died at the end of summer, but Shen Jixian had to explain to the insects what the snowflakes looked like in winter, "The history of the Dao system is more than 130,000 years, and in the first forty or fifty thousand years, the Dao system has always been more or less involved in the management of mortals, and every time there is a change of dynasty, the change of vassal states and the civil strife of the Longbin Society, there is the interference of the Dao system behind it. ”

"I've never seen that in a book. "Mu Xingqiu has read a lot of books, including the thick "Qiankun Ding", and he has never seen a record of Dao Tong directly interfering in mortal affairs.

"As early as more than a dozen generations ago, the grandmasters believed that these things were not suitable for low-level Taoist priests to watch. Only Daoist priests, or Taoist priests like me, who have occasionally served as grandmasters, are eligible to view the secret history of the Daoist system. ”

"I see. Mu Xingqiu was not in a hurry to express his opinion, he wanted to know more, "Later, Dao Tong no longer directly interfered in mortal affairs, why?"

"Because the Taoist priest has observed enough, he has found that there is no point in interfering at all. Shen Jixian pointed to his head, "The Taoist priest remembered a thing. Unlike the books that the lower Taoist priests could consult, the records in the secret history were more accurate and detailed, and I still remember the shocking feeling I felt after reading it for the first time. A qiē is repeated. This is true of Taoism, and even more so of mortals. Taoist priests live a long life, so each repetition lasts for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Mortal life is short, a cycle of hundreds of years. The Taoist system found that no matter whether or not and how to interfere, this cycle will not change. You think that the emperor or the head of the dragon will not be good, and there will be mortals who will overthrow him without your hands, and you feel that the person you choose is more suitable, but after several generations. He will still deviate from the original design of the Dao system, and sometimes even become the enemy of the Tao system. ”

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while, he was not "shocked", but Shen Jixian's words were indeed a bit beyond his comprehension. He is too young and has too little experience to imagine how more than 130,000 years of history can be repeated over and over again.

"The Dao Tong does not interfere in the affairs of mortals, but allows a few people in the Dragon Bin Guild to use the Soul Exchange Talisman to extend ......their lives indefinitely? Another kind of Taoist priest?"

"First of all. The Dao Tong needs a small group of stable people to take control of the Dragon Bin Society, who know enough about the Dao Tong to be able to strictly enforce the agreements that have been put in place over the years. Secondly. The soul exchange talisman is not perfect, it should be said that it has great hidden dangers, after the soul transforms the body three times, it will become very unstable, the new body is drowsy and weak, even if it is just a simple sleep, the soul may leave the body unconsciously, never come back, so he dies. ”

"The Great Talisman Master usually lives for one hundred and fifty years, and in this way he can extend his lifespan to four or five hundred years, similar to that of a Smoke Swallowing Daoist. Mu Xingqiu simply calculated, "If the object of soul transformation used to be a Taoist priest, he could live longer." ”

Shen Jixian nodded, "In this way, the controllers of the Dragon Bin Society will be able to think like Taoist priests." ”

"I think there should be at least one talisman master who is different, has a particularly high number of soul transformations, and has a lifespan that is even longer than that of a high Taoist priest. Mu Xingqiu remembered that when he said that the controllers of the Longbin Society had been the same people for tens of thousands of years, Shen Jixian did not deny it.

The head of the Five Elements Section did not deny it now, "You know enough, how many soul changers there will be in Longbin, and how many times they will change souls, it is their own affairs, and the Dao Tong will not interfere." ”

"What about Shen Geng? The Longbin Society took Shen Geng in, and the Dao Tong didn't even interfere in this kind of thing?"

"Shen Geng was an accident, I have received assurances from the Longbin Society, they don't know Shen Geng's real name, let alone that he is a sinner pursued by the Daotong, strictly speaking, they have not violated the agreement. ”

Shen Geng had two memories artificially erased, so Mu Xingqiu had no trust in the Longbin Society, but he didn't plan to argue with the first seat on this matter, "That's it, Daotong is still Daotong, Longbin Club is still Longbin Club?"

"Only in this way, don't forget, the demon clan is about to return to the world, and that is the most important enemy of the Dao system. ”

Mu Xingqiu suddenly figured out one thing from the past, "At the beginning, the Dao Clans were unwilling to support Broken Flow City, and it was also because of the same reason, right?"

"What?" said Shin, who was slightly surprised by the change in subject.

"The most important enemy of the Dao system is the demon clan, so the demon clan must be handed over to mortals, that is, the Longbin Society to deal with, but the Longbin Society is too weak, to let the demon clan give them a heavy blow, it is best to occupy half of the Holy Fu Dynasty, and directly threaten the survival of the Longbin Society, in order to stimulate their fighting spirit. It was a mistake for Pang Shan to defend Broken Flow City, because it showed the power of the Dao Rule, and it made Long Bin have something to look forward to. ”

Shen Jixian sighed softly, "At that time, I didn't have the position of acting grandmaster, so I didn't know much about the relationship between the Dao Sect and the Dragon Bin Society. However, we are not wrong in what we have done, although the senior Taoist priests have a more long-term consideration, but they will not prevent ordinary Taoist priests from doing what they should do. The Battle of Broken Flow City was an accident, and it illustrates why the Dao Ruler should not interfere directly in mortal affairs: what was perfectly correct at the time could turn out to be a big mistake years later. You see, the Dragon Bin Society and the entire human world have become weaker, and they take it for granted that sooner or later the Dao Sect will defeat the Demon Clan, as far as I know. The Lombin Society did not even expand its army. ”

"What about those Soul Changers?"

"They just live like a Taoist priest, but they don't have the inner dan of a Taoist priest, and they don't have the heart of a Taoist priest. Their thoughts are the same as those of mortals, and they are often weaker and more cunning, and once they find that they can get something for nothing, they would rather lose more than half of their territory and population than let the rune master go to battle. Shen Jixian's voice became stern, indicating that he was also dissatisfied with the Longbin Society.

Things seemed to have entered a dead loop, and just because more than a dozen Pangshan Daoists showed the will to fight against the tide in Broken Flow City, the Longbin Society took the responsibility of resisting the demon clan off their shoulders. Gently put it on the ground, staring at each other, guessing at each other, and pushing each other with the Daotong, it depends on who can't hold their breath first to pick up this duty.

Of course, the high-level Taoist priests are more patient, but the low-level Taoist priests are not, and the establishment of the Demon Slaying Society must have made the Longbin Society feel relieved.

But the Daoist sects of the various families did not prevent the young disciples from joining the Demon Slaying Society, and there was a faint encouragement, Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't ask any more, he was still far from the time when he could fully understand the thoughts of the high Daoists. It is useless to ask too much.

"Zuo Liuying is a Taoist priest, he should have understood what you said, but it was his decision to stick to Broken Flow City. ”

"Zuo Liuying is a weirdo. Shen Jixian replied very briefly, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was even more obvious.

This is also something that low-level Taoist priests can't understand and shouldn't ask. Mu Xingqiu turned to ask, "Who is the person who changed the soul in Xin Youtao's body? Chief Great Fu Master? It is definitely not a Qu Rule, he does not even belong to the 'group of people' in the Longbin Society. ”

"I've said so much, and you still won't give up?" The dissatisfaction in Shen Jixian's tone disappeared, as if only pure curiosity remained.

"I am very grateful for the importance and openness of the first seat. It made me understand a lot of things, but my decision has never changed, so please rest assured. I won't cross the line of Taoism and put Pang Shan in an embarrassing situation. For the Longbin Society and mortals, the Dao Tong will still stay out of the matter. ”

When it was Mu Xingqiu's turn to say that half of it was left behind, Shen Jixian smiled slightly, "You have to understand that high Taoist priests are not against change, but in order to ensure that their cultivation is not affected, most people would rather stay the same. Zuo Liuying is a weirdo, and so are you. I still can't see whether Zuo Liuying's weirdness is a good thing or a bad thing for Daotong, as for you, I can only put forward hope, I hope you are a good thing. ”

Mu Xingqiu gave Shen Jixian a gift of Taoism, and he also had two small questions, although he had guessed the approximate answer, he still had to ask clearly.

"Why don't Taoist priests use soul change talismans to let themselves live a few more lives?"

"Because the heart of the Taoist priest does not allow us to do this, in order to obtain a suitable body, it will completely disturb the state of mind. Of course, there are more direct reasons, you can't persuade a young and promising high-level Taoist priest to give up his body, the only choice is a low-level Taoist priest, such as me, I can use a set of rhetoric to persuade you to believe that it is an honor to give my physical body, and then what? I, Shen Jixian, who has fallen sevenfold and can only leave his name in the Patriarch Tower, has become Mu Xingqiu, who breathes sevenfold and has an uncertain future, and my inner Dan and Dao root can't be transferred to you, after changing your soul, your physique will not be worse, and it is almost impossible to become a high-level Taoist. No, I'd rather die than settle for the next best, I don't even want the sixfold body of the stars, let alone you. ”

Mu Xingqiu also thought so, Master Fu was still a mortal, and the difference between each body was not particularly big, and people like Xin Youtao could be called rare treasures. For Taoist priests, there is an insurmountable gap between the physical body.

"If the Taoist priests and grandmasters can see the secret history of the Dao system, then the only ancestor of the Moon Mang, who has not served for many years, will they see more and more secret records?"

Shen Jixian didn't answer this question, perhaps because he couldn't answer at all, "At most, three days, I will inform you if you can participate in the meeting of the High Daoists." ”

"Thank you, disciple retirement. ”

Mu Xingqiu knows some secrets, but in fact, he also has secrets of his own, and he is closely guarded with the Mind Illusion Technique, and he will not reveal it.

He was wondering, is the truth that the young devil can only understand after becoming stronger, is it the secret of the Taoist priest who serves the moon and the sun?

He wondered if the second page of the memory that Fang Fang Shattered Pill had become extremely powerful a moment ago, so that he still couldn't understand it, was it also related to the secret of the Dao system?
