Chapter 952: Decisive Victory
Bodhisattva Wuchen appointed Yun Wuxin to come to Yanfang, in addition to sending a sum of money, but also for her to investigate the situation in Pillow Ge City on the spot, and report it to Shenxiu Palace, and then provide human or material assistance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Yun Wuxin was quite unimpressed with this order, Pillow Ge City was just a small place, and he had no contact with Shenxiu Palace, and it was reasonable to say that Ming Qin's favor alone would help him with millions of dollars, as for supporting Pillow Ge City to resist the Nose Country, it was really not a wise move.
Yun Wuxin and Bodhisattva Wuchen and Absolutely Worry-free are all proud disciples of Qiu Shengxiang, each with their own strengths, and their relationship is not bad, but the status of the three is equal, if there is a difference of opinion, you need to ask Qiu Yanwan to compromise, and Yun Wuxin will not blindly obey Bodhisattva Wuchen's decision.
In contrast, Donghua Kingdom is the premier power in Nanzhan Buzhou, and it was once the suzerainty of the Three Kingdoms of Yanfang, if you want to seek foreign aid and enhance your influence, it is no different from more worthy of consideration, Yun Wuxin agreed to Wen Bao'er to participate in the Immortal Dao Society, and also wanted to show her banner and establish a branch in Donghua Kingdom in the future.
The Immortal Dao Society is one of the four major events with wide influence in the fairy world. These events are held regularly, and the price of the first battle is ten times that of a ready-made advertisement. Shenxiu Palace, Zaohuamen, and Tianluo Hall are known as the three major schools overseas. Each of the three factions has its own characteristics, and the Tianluo Palace has wantonly annexed the folk gangs, and the expansion is the most rapid. The Creation Gate takes the revitalization of the immortal path as its own responsibility, and recruits a wide range of disciples, and there are practitioners from all countries in the heavens who go to Shenniao Mountain to study art or further their studies.
Shenxiu Palace takes the upper route, which is in the same vein as Zifu Palace. The Purple Mansion Palace, the Taixuan Capital, the Nine Old Immortal Capital, and the Golden Jade Glazed Palace are collectively known as the Four Great Immortal Mansions, which influenced the entire Dragon Clan era. With the decline of Shinto, the four great immortal mansions have also disappeared one after another, becoming the yellow flowers of tomorrow.
The Four Great Immortal Mansions are the immortal valves of the Dao realm, and they play a pivotal role in the rise and fall of the Dragon Clan. Since the Immortal Dao Dynasty Xing, the Taoist sect has been in charge of the government of a country, and its arrogance has increased unabated.
The difference is that the immortal mansions such as the Purple Mansion Palace are all descendants of the Protoss and have deep Shinto roots. Taoism is more common, preaching the equality and self-esteem of immortals.
After Qiu Yanru retired, although Shenxiu Palace did not give up the will to dominate the Immortal Kingdom. In fact, it is getting farther and farther away from this goal. There were also different voices and opinions within the house. Bodhisattva Wuchen, Yun Wuxin and Absolute Worry-free actually represent the three intentions, but the autumn sun is still there, and the three factions will not declare a split.
In order for a sect to gain a firm foothold, it must first have financial resources. During the Zhou and Qin dynasties, the royal family declined, academics dispersed among the people, and nine streams and ten schools appeared. Although there are various names of Confucianism, Mo, Ming, and Law, there are only two categories. i.e. the Debater and the Ranger.
Although Confucianism, famous scholars, Yin-Yang scholars, and Zonghengjia scholars are different, almost all belong to the debater road, lobbying the princes, peddling their own doctrines, and obtaining the king's support. Mencius, Zou Yan, and Zhang Yi are such representatives, and the Jixia School Palace of Qi is the place where the debaters are fed.
The Mohists belong to the ranger road, and the difference from the debaters is that although the debaters have teachers, they are not organized, and Confucius is more gentlemanly and non-party-talking. The Mo family has the meaning of gangs and churches, and the leader is called Juzi, who has the right to live and die.
Legalism and Taoism once had an advantage in politics, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 'deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone', in fact, the Han family was a yang, Confucianism and yin law, and the king and tyrant were used both, and then Confucianism finally became a special force in society.
As the saying goes, 'the poor are rich and the rich are martial'. The organization of the Mo family depends on the personality of the leader, and the Warring States period has a strong morale, and Tian Heng and Zhang Er at the time of the fourth prince and the Qin and Han dynasties have won the help of the disciples.
It is worth noting that the talents and character of these customers are somewhat controversial. Wang Anshi criticized Meng Weijun, 'The rooster cries and the dog thief goes out, but the real man does not come'. Meng Weijun recruited many outlaws and was exterminated, and only Feng Tan was better. When Meng Weijun and Lian lost power, there was no one left, and after gaining power, the doormen regathered under the door, although this is the inevitable choice of the host, it can also be seen that their character is inferior.
Morality and talent promote each other, and poor character and talent are not much higher. One of the core contents of talent is the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, whether words and deeds can be as one is another thing, if there is a lack of knowledge, virtue is just a mediocre virtue, and it is only a small trick of carving insects, and there will be no great talent in the world.
Pingyuan Jun raised a noble man, Mao Sui is good, but he has not seen anything under Pingyuan Jun's door for three years, and Pingyuan Jun thinks that he has no talent, which shows his lack of discernment.
Chunshenjun's 3,000 diners all wore beaded shoes, and the treatment was generous, but without Zhu Ying's words, he died at the hands of Li Yuan. Among the four princes, only Xinlingjun can seek scholars, Zhu Hai, Hou Huan, Mao Gong, Xue Gong are the wise men in the hidden market, Xinlingjun has been helped by them many times but has strengthened Qin, which can be said to be the last light flame of the joint anti-Qin. As soon as Xinlingjun died, the fall of the Six Kingdoms was irreversible.
Zhang Er and Tian Heng's disciples are all righteous, Guan Gao endured torture in order to help Zhang Ao redress his grievances, and he was indomitable, and finally Liu Bang pardoned him, but committed suicide to apologize, which can be described as shameful. Tian Heng's five hundred soldiers learned that Tian Heng killed himself and swore to follow him.
But Guan Gao and others couldn't bear the stupidity and plotted to assassinate Liu Bang. Tian Hengmen Ke is also not saved from death, compared to Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He is too far away, rangers and others emphasize righteousness and light death, which is their strength, but often there is no maverick talent is its shortcoming.
Therefore, the Mo family split after several generations, and later gangs and religions also inherited this characteristic.
A gang is a type of mutual aid organization that usually has a certain economic base and therefore can survive for a long time.
The cultivators of the fairy realm still do not get rid of the color of debaters and rangers. One is to feed on the powerful and serve them. Such as taking care of the home, teaching and refining medicine, etc. One is an organization that resembles a gang or sect.
The former has the nature of employment and earns a certain amount of remuneration. In order for the latter to be sustained, it naturally needs to have economic resources.
There are no more than two ways, one is predatory and the other is producing. The plundering style is mostly green forests, and what they do is to rob houses and houses, and Liangshanbo is its typical. Of course, the ruling power of the immortal realm is extremely strong, and the bandits infested by gangs in the Qingping world are relatively rare.
But there are quite a few similar organizations. Forcing people to hand over money with knives and guns can only be described as a low-level method, and the more clever is to set up a scam to make the victim pay the money automatically. The most powerful is the transportation government, which collects taxes and robs in the open.
The second case is also quite numerous, such as Tiannumen, which is to process Tiansun Jin to earn food and clothing, which can be regarded as self-reliance.
There are many Taoist sects in the immortal world, and economic resources are always a big problem. Only when we have abundant financial resources can we expand our own strength.
It was easier for Taoist sects with official backgrounds to survive, and the Xianfu collected taxes from the common people and distributed them to such Taoist sects. However, the immortal Taoist system tried its best to control redundant officials and expenses, and the predatory Taoist sect only existed unscrupulously in the Shinto era.
Shenxiu Palace started by teaching and learning the "Six Immortal Sutras", and with the secret support of the Purple Mansion Palace Master, it became the leading Taoist sect in the Purple Mansion Kingdom. It is also known as the Creation Gate and the Tianluo Palace.
There are not many immortal sects that have risen to teach Taoism. The Creation Gate is also such a number. However, the Creation Gate pays more attention to Taoist performances, and Hongmeng Daoist is known as the resurrection of the Taoist spirit, which has had a huge impact on Nanami and has become the first Taoist school overseas.
Participating in the fairy road competition is also an important means of publicity. Once the immortal dao competition wins the effect of ten times the price, it is very important to the large and small Taoist sects. It's just that there are more monks and less porridge, and although there are many similar competitive events, the most authoritative ones are only the Immortal Dao Society, the Shinto Society, the Martial Arts Association and the Heavenly Dao Society, collectively known as the four major events.
In addition to being famous, practitioners participating in the Immortal Dao Society also have many benefits. After many cultivators have achieved Taoism, they will go out to seek wealth and profit, and if they can achieve some results in the Immortal Dao, the way out will be a little broader.
Shenxiu Palace used to only recruit women, most of the disciples of the sect are well-off, and they can maintain it economically, Qiu Yan is as ambitious as a talent, and Danfeng and Qingluan have competed for the position of prime minister several times, and in order to obtain the support of the people, a lot of money has been spent. For the Immortal Dao Society, they don't pay much attention to it.
After Qiu Yanru fell ill, Shenxiu Palace also fell into a full-fledged crisis. The three palace masters disagreed, and Qiu Xi's talent was slightly inferior to Sister Nai, and the palace master, who had been for a while, decided to abdicate and make way for Xian.
Bo Wuchen insisted on Qiu Yanru's wishes, she summed up the lessons of failure, and believed that Qiu Yanru was defeated by the descendants of the Danfeng and Qingluan factions, mainly because the foundation of Shenxiu Palace was still shallow and the disciples were not extensive enough. Therefore, it is planned to set up an outer gate, cultivate a rookie and continue to compete with the two factions. Absolutely worry-free believes that Shenxiu Palace should withdraw from the political arena and carry forward the Taoism of this sect.
Yun Wuxin is between the two, she is weak by nature, and she has nothing to say about her senior sister and her junior sister's opinions. However, Bo Wuchen asked her to inspect Pillow City this time, intending to give comprehensive assistance, but Yun Wuxin didn't think so.
Ming Qin listened to Yun Wuxin's words and was irrefutable, the strength of Pillow Ge City was not enough to confront the Nose Country, this was an obvious thing, if it weren't for the Elephant Lord and Sen Jiang's father and son fighting for power, Pillow Ge City might have been defeated a long time ago. He had a lot of connections with Pillow Gecheng, and of course he couldn't ask Yun Wuxin for assistance regardless of his interests.
At this time, the two groups of competitions between Yu Lan, Qi Feng, Xiao Qi and Shao Jian were also coming to an end. All four carried a quiver with fifty feathered arrows. When the arrow missed, the results were counted.
The fairy ship is equipped with gears underneath and can change formations. The straw man on the ship has no certain rules, and it all depends on his eyes and hands to shoot feather arrows in time. Because the hull is very wide, the crosshairs on the straw man are not fixed, and some positions are very tricky, and it is necessary to constantly stretch the body method to find a favorable angle, which is a great test of physical fitness.
After the battle, all four of them were sweating and panting. The review team approved the results, and it was not surprising that Xiao Qi was really slightly better than Shao Jian. Yu Lan and Qi Feng were evenly matched, but this time Yu Lan played better and won by a narrow margin.
Next, Wen Baoer will draw one of the two winning shooters to compete, and the remaining two losers will also face off.
"This rule is really weird, and it's inexplicable to watch. ”
It was the first time for Ming Qin to watch the game of the Immortal Dao Society, and it was more troublesome to have an odd-numbered tiebreaker, and there would be more luck in it, but the suspense was also greater.
No matter which one Wen Bao'er draws, the loser will compete with the winner of Qi Feng and Shao Jianzhong for the position of Tanhua.
The other shooter has a bye to play the final tiebreaker, in short, each shooter has to fight three games in a row to determine the top three.
Wen Bao'er, Yu Lan, and Xiao Qi must have a battle with each other, no matter who Wen Bao'er draws, the result is not so important.
The winner of Qi Feng and Shao Jian has a chance to compete for the top three, and if they win consecutive battles, they may regain the championship. It's a complicated rule, but it's also fair, and each shooter has to beat at least three players to determine the final position.
Wen Baoer drew her opponent under the guidance of the celebrant officer, and the wooden card had a serial number written on it, which was the ranking of the finalists.
Wen Baoer opened the wooden card and saw that it was written as number three, which meant that she was going to fight with Yu Lan.
Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and after the next game, today's game was over. The top three matches will be held tomorrow, and the match has been going on for a long time, and both the shooters and the spectators are sleepy.
Wen Bao'er walked back to the stands and said dissatisfied: "Master, can you compare another day, people just fought, and I am fighting now, wouldn't it be a victory?"
Although Wen Bao'er had not experienced such a competition, she had also found some archery images of the Immortal Dao Society to watch in advance, and she was somewhat familiar with it. The fighting style of borrowing arrows from the grass boat is not far from the actual battle, which is quite suitable for her appetite, but Wen Bao'er has a strong self-esteem, Yu Langang and Qi Feng had a fight, which consumed a lot of physical strength, although there was an hour's rest, Wen Bao'er didn't want to take advantage of the danger.
Yun Wuxin smiled and said: "You are so confident that you will definitely be able to beat others, this Yu Lan is a master of archery in the Tianshan Sect, I think her archery skills and body skills are remarkable, and her basic skills are much more solid than yours." Since it's the rules of the Immortal Dao Society, you just have to follow it. Who's the hand of the deer killed, isn't it certain?"
In fact, the shooters who participated in the Xiandao Club have undergone a long period of training and are extremely familiar with the rules of the game, and the first two rounds of the competition are not very physically exertional. This tiebreaker is naturally very crucial, but as a master of cultivation, abundant physical fitness is the most basic requirement, Yu Lan has no objections, Wen Bao'er's request is inevitably eventful.
"Bao'er, listen to your master, you should concentrate on the game, but don't stumble. ”
Liu Pu understands her daughter's temperament and knows that she is arrogant, but the arena is like a battlefield, and she can't be soft-hearted. Yu Lan's previous results were not as good as Qi Feng's, but she was better than Qi Feng in the key game, which shows that she has excellent literacy, and she may not be able to hide her strength, Wen Baoer's thoughts are a little ridiculous.
