"Okay, in that case, then this matter will be over, everyone will disperse!" said the long-bearded Taoist lightly, but at the same time, he secretly conveyed to a few of them, asking them to go out and secretly return to the discussion.

About half an hour later, a total of seven Daoists sneaked back into the cave.

The long-bearded Taoist looked at the seven people, and his face undisguised a deep look of disappointment.

Now the head of the Jade Pillar Sect is the disciple grandson of Yun Zhongzi, born in the Western Zhou Nian year, when he started, it was really the most beautiful time for the Jade Pillar Sect in Zhongnan Mountain, but he had felt the feeling of being in the clouds.

Later, although the Jade Pillar Sect became more and more mixed, it still gained momentum, and the Jade Pillar Sect also occupied Zhongnan Mountain, and it also experienced countless dynasty changes.

In the eyes of their generation and even the generations that followed, even the Heavenly Court was nothing, let alone a secular dynasty, and their philosophy at that time was that if the mortal dynasty was disobedient, it would be another one, in the eyes of the monks of their time, the sect was higher than the state.

After experiencing such an era and such a scenery, the disciples of the two generations of the sect generally dislike today's Datang, and can even be said to have a deep disgust, and have always wished that the Datang would be finished.

The Taoists he convened before were all veterans of the Yuzhu faction, all of whom were born before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

But. After some discussion, the result was beyond his expectations. Even among these disciples, there are so many people who want to contribute to Datang.

There are so many people who want to take refuge in Sanjianling under the pretense of using the relationship of teaching. gain some status, and then help Datang become a traitor.

This undoubtedly annoyed him, and at the same time he had deep worries and even fears.

After sweeping his gaze towards the seven people below, the long-bearded Daoist sighed slightly and said, "Why did I disperse the meeting first, and then secretly summoned the seven of you to come back, I guess you all have it in your hearts." ”

"I don't want it to be like this. ”

"If it weren't for today's meeting, I wouldn't have imagined that even these senior brothers would have their hearts set on Datang. Unexpectedly, the three candidates for the next head of the company are all already interested in Datang. ”

"It's horrible!"

"Judging from this situation, it will only take another ten years, after the senior brother in charge retires and changes to the position of someone else, I am afraid that the Jade Pillar Sect will be completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Fortunately, it was revealed today, but we still have ten years to prepare, and there is still a chance to save. ”

"Every candidate is decided early. Over the years, they have all been vigorously supported, and all of them have great power, and it is not easy to change them!"

"Yes, Datang's purpose in wooing them has been revealed. How can we be allowed to change them lightly, let alone allow us to support the head of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"yes, as long as the eight of us have some accidents. Die, or even all of them. The Jade Pillar faction listened to Datang completely, and Datang definitely had the strength to surprise us. Now we don't move, but I think that we can make a smooth transition in ten years, there is no need to do more, once we make a move, which one to choose later, we are afraid that our lives will be difficult to protect. ”

"Even if the operation is successful, it is only a symptom, most of the people in the sect are focused on Datang, and it is difficult to resist the public by relying on the position of the head of the sect. ”

......

Nagabeard nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, and that's why I secretly summoned you." ”

"I know that you are all from the human race and have opinions about the demon clan, so you are not willing to help Sanjianling become bigger, in fact, I am also like you, if you have a choice, I am not willing to help the demon clan. ”

"However, in this situation, as long as we are under the rule of the Tang Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom categorically cannot tolerate us accepting disciples privately, and in the future, the door will be full of people who have been inserted by the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, we will have no hope. ”

"The Jade Pillar Sect has come to this point, it is already the most critical moment, if you don't make heavy changes, the Jade Pillar Sect will be completely occupied by people in the future. ”

"Liang Qing, the Great King of Sanjianling, is a disciple of the Sect Master, but this matter is an opportunity, and it is also our only hope at present, and we cannot miss this opportunity. ”

Hearing this, everyone was thoughtful, and one of the Taoists said: "What Senior Brother said is that now our Jade Pillar Sect has had to make changes, but I think that we only need to create a branch in Jiaozhou and leave a way back, and there is no need to help Sanjianling." ”

The long-bearded Taoist shook his head and said: "'Under the nest, there are eggs', if we can't protect Sanjianling, once the Tang Dynasty occupies Jiaozhou, the Tang Dynasty's policy will still be carried out in Jiaozhou, what is the point of us spending a lot of effort to create a branch? In that case, we might as well remain unchanged, so as not to cause trouble." ”

At this time, a Taoist nodded and said, "Yes, there is a give-and-take, if we don't help Sanjianling and don't contribute anything to them, then how can Sanjianling let you start a sect on his territory for no reason?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent.

After a while, there was a Taoist: "We have a record in Datang, if you don't report to the government and go to Jiaozhou privately, once you find out, the sect will immediately cause a big disaster, and once you report, when the Tang Dynasty sends troops in the future, you will have to fight back, otherwise the sect will also suffer a catastrophe, if you want to help Sanjianling, what can the senior brother do about it?"

"As long as you can unify your opinions and all agree to support the Three Sharp Ridges, it will not be difficult to deal with the Tang Kingdom. The long-bearded Taoist said slowly.

"Oh, what's the solution?"

"As long as the people who went to Jiaozhou betrayed the division first, there was a traitor in the door, and let the traitor escape, the Tang Kingdom at most blamed us for negligence and scolded us for a few words of waste, can we still be killed because of the traitor in the door?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but they felt that it was also a way, first betray the master, and then go to Jiaozhou to take refuge in Sanjianling, so that they could also dissociate themselves from the master, and the Tang Kingdom could not be blamed for this.

"It's no wonder that the various sects and factions have met recently, and there have been repeated rumors of traitors going out of the door, and it seems that they all went to the Three Sharp Ridges. A Taoist sighed.

"Recently, the so-called mounts and domesticated demon beasts in the gate have escaped, and the prison has been robbed frequently, and I think it is also heading for Sanjianling. ”

"It seems that our Jade Pillar Sect is still an afterthought, no wonder it has not been able to compare to them. ”

Changsu Dao said: "The sect of exposition has long been overwhelmed by the Tang Dynasty, how can it be that we are the only ones who have been occupied by people and the crisis of the Taoist system? (To be continued......)
