Chapter 170 Daomen

The news that the Great Heavenly Master arrived in Jinling Mansion spread throughout Jinling Mansion overnight. Whether it was the gentry, wealthy businessmen or ordinary people, they wanted to see the true appearance of the Great Heavenly Master. For people in the secular world, the Great Heavenly Master is a well-deserved god and immortal. Not only does it mean to listen to the teachings, but it is also good to be able to get involved in the immortal spirit.

For the people in the martial arts world, the four people on the Lao Xuan list are no different. They are all immortals, all the masters of the sect, and they are all extraordinary figures. But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not the same thing. For them, the earth master Xu Wugui and the great sword immortal Li Daoxu have never heard of it. I don’t know who they are. The real famous ones are the great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu and the sage king Dan Taiyun. Dan Taiyun is the emperor in the northwest. If you don’t know whether it is a man or a woman, you will assume that he is a man. Rumor has it that Dan is a man.

Taiyun is eight feet tall, has great strength, is brave and good at fighting, often slaughtering cities, and even eats people. He is a demon-like figure. The great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu is also called the Heavenly Master. He is similar to the titles of the Emperor, the Emperor, the Prince, etc., and also calls the National Master, but is confused with the Imperial Heavenly Master. He believes that the National Master tells fortunes for the Emperor and the Emperor’s Master all day long. Some people can’t tell the difference between the National Master and the Emperor’s Master, and think that the National Master teaches the Emperor to read, which leads to the Grand Master’s statement.

However, no matter what, Zhang Jingxiu is the most famous among the people. This is not his own merit, but his inheritance of the great masters of all dynasties. It also makes many people think that the great masters of all dynasties are all alone, and they know their name, and they know that their surname is Zhang. Master Zhang has lived for thousands of years, but he is not alive.

After the news that the Great Heavenly Master arrived in Jinling Prefecture spread, there was soon another news that the Great Heavenly Master was in the Qian family's villa. So the people flocked to the Qian family's villa. The Qian family was powerful and dared to expel the unpopular Governor of Jiangzhou, but they did not dare to show off their stance to stop so many people from falling into trouble. Moreover, Qian Qing was a white white spirit and smelled an unusual breath. The people's reaction was too enthusiastic, not spontaneous, but it seemed like they were incited, very much like the Qingyang Cult's methods, but Qingyang Cult is now Yuan.

He was so angry that he would not stir up trouble in Jinling Mansion. There must be others who secretly contributed to the fire. Thinking of Su Guan and Su Yunmei, Qian Qingbai dared not expel the people. So after the Qian family, as the landlord, discussed with the Su family, decided to transfer the meeting place to Dabaoen Temple, which occupies a vast area and allows some people to come in. Moreover, Dabaoen Temple is a royal temple, which allows the people of the government to maintain order. The people naturally have fear of the government. If something really happens, it will be easy to deal with it.

Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu had no objection to this. For them, they just blocked the people in the front temple and found a secluded place in the back temple. The two of them also noticed something was wrong. They did not have a secret whereabouts, but they were limited to a small range. How could it be so disturbed that everyone knows so much now that it is obvious that someone was secretly adding fuel to the fire. However, this was also expected by the two. Situ Xuance and Zhang Jingxiu were discussing peace with each other, but in the end they failed. It can be seen that many people did not want to see a complete Taoist sect reappear in the world.

Although there are many masters of the Taoist sect and strong power, they have actually been divided into several parts over the past thousand years and fought each other endlessly. At first, it was because of the differences between the Lord of Nanhua and Yang Zhu that were divided into two paths of good and evil. Later, the righteous path and evil path were divided into two parts. Now the Taoist sect has become four parts. It can be called the Jiangnan Dao Sect headed by Zhang Jingxiu, the Jiangbei Dao Sect headed by Li Daoxu, the Liaodong Dao Sect headed by Qin Qing, and the Northwest Dao Sect headed by Dan Taiyun and Xu Wugui. It was originally the most powerful Taoist sect, but in line with the allusion of Zhi Boyao's death, the most powerful ones either laughed to the end and unify the four sides, or they were killed by the weak three parties, and they were the first to leave the field. The ending of the Northwest Dao Sect can be regarded as the latter, and in the end, the internal conflict between Dan Taiyun and the Earth Master, the power of the Northwest Dao Sect was greatly reduced, and the four sides became balanced.

What Li Xuan has to do now is to let the Jiangnan Daomen and Jiangbei Daomen negotiate peace, then form an alliance with the Liaodong Daomen, completely destroy the Northwest Daomen, so that the Taoist sect will be initially unified. Who is most afraid of this result? The answer is self-evident. Over the past thousand years, the Taoist sect has never been unified and has been maintaining a split situation. Whenever strong people appear, if they want to unify the Taoist sect, they always encounter accidents, help the weak and suppress the strong, so that all parties in the Taoist sect maintain a balance, and no one can swallow up the other parties, and who is behind the scenes? The answer is self-evident.

What is the key to this peace talk? Zhang Jingxiu only has a false reputation but not real power, and gives up most of the real power to Li Daoxu. Similarly, Qin Qing was determined to be in the temple but not in the world, and could also transfer part of the real power. For example, the Taoist sect has the Three Qings, and if Li Xuan successfully negotiates peace, he can integrate the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect has three masters, corresponding to the Three Qings, respectively, and ranked as one. Among them, the great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu corresponds to the Taiqing sect, and is nominally the top of the Three Qings, with the most title and the smallest real power. Qin Qing corresponds to the Shangqing sect, and is at the end of the Three Qings, with the last title and the last title, but can grasp part of the real power. Li Daoxu corresponds to the Yuqing sect, with the most title and the most title and essentially the top of the Three Qings.

This proposal was proposed by Zhang Jingxiu, which was very noble. Qin Qing had already agreed that he would not object too much. After all, the Liaodong Taoist Sect was ranked at the end of the Dao Sect, which was beneficial and harmless. Although Li Daoxu lost his status, he had real power. With his temperament, it was very likely to agree to this peace. This is the fundamental reason why Li Xuan had the confidence to go to Qingwei Sect and went to the Qingwei Sect to oppose it. In order to appease the Zhang clan, Zhang Jingxiu continued to make concessions. Not only did he take away Yan Feiqing's position as the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, he made Zhang Jingchen the acting leader of the Zhengyi Sect. Even Zhang Jingxiu did not over-study overthrow Zhang Jingxiu, but he was willing to make up for the Zhang clan with his power, and strive to reach a three-party alliance peace agreement and reunify the Taoist Sect.

Some people don’t want to see a unified Taoist sect, but now the Confucian sect is too weak and cannot fight the entire Taoist sect in full swing, let alone completely suppressing the Taoist sect as before. In fact, the Confucian sect never completely suppressed the Taoist sect, but divided it and ruled it. Now seeing that the old tricks are not easy to use, the people hidden behind the scenes have begun to constantly stir up the opposition forces within the Jiangnan Taoist sect, Jiangbei Taoist sect, and Liaodong Taoist sect, and the forces are about to disrupt the peace talks. Zhang Jingchen in the Jiangnan Taoist sect has surfaced, and the Jiangbei Taoist sect is not unexpectedly Li Yuanying. As for the Liaodong Taoist sect, there is no sign of it because the Liaodong and the Wanxiang Academy have broken up. However, the separation and hostility between the Central Plains and Liaodong are also the work of those behind the scenes.

Of course, the unification of Taoist sects is still the biggest problem, that is, what should we do with the Northwest Dao Sect? Even if the Northwest Dao Sect is weakened once, it is still the strongest among the four Taoist sects. The solution is very simple. Directly, the three parties join forces to destroy the Northwest Dao Sect, and thus the Dao Sect is unified.

Li Xuandu's initial plan was to replace the Great Wei with Liaodong externally and use Taoist sects to divide the power of the Confucian sects. Today's Taoist sects are no longer just a Taoist sect. They also incorporate Mohist sects, Legalism, Zongheng sects, Yin and Yang sects and other schools of thought. Even if they cannot completely replace the Confucian sects, they can no longer make this world a hall of confucian sects. Using Confucian and Taoism together will at least introduce a stream of live water and no longer a pool of stagnant water.

At the third hour of the Chen Dynasty, Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu had already arrived at the Dabaoen Temple and entered from the main gate. Li Xuandu followed Qin Su, Shen Yuanzhou, Sikong Zao, Qian Qingbai, and Fang Yuan and Yuanjue of Jingchan. Zhang Jingxiu had more people, including Bai Xiushang from Cihang Sect, Xiao Shiyu from Xuannv Sect, Wuzhen from Vajra Sect, Zhang Daishan from Zhengyi Sect, Fanan Master Tai from Zhenyan Sect, and Zuo Yuhan from Faxiang Sect. In addition, Su Yan of the Su family did not arrive, but let his younger brother Su Rang present on his behalf. The men and women in the Su family do not use the same model character, and the men are single characters and women are double characters.

As for the others, whether it is disciples or followers, they can only be scattered on the periphery, blocking the incited people from the officers and soldiers who have long been stationed outside the Dabaoen Temple, leaving enough room for these sect leaders to talk.

The group first entered the Main Hall and was accompanied by the abbot. The abbot looked about forty years old and very elegant. It was not so much a monk, but rather a Confucian scholar.

A huge and majestic golden Buddha was enshrined in the hall. Li Xuandu, Zhang Jingxiu, Qin Su, Shen Yuanzhou, Xiao Shiyu and other pure Taoist people who had nothing to do with Buddhism were avoided by the side. Bai Xiushang, Wuzhen, Fang Yuanyuan, Yuanjue, Fanan Master, and Zuo Yuhan, who was half Buddha and half Tao, worshipped the Buddha first. Whether he believed it in his heart or not, he was extremely pious in his face.

Then there was another polite greeting. After all, the people in this hall were either the leader of the sect or the elder of the sect. They were also famous figures in the world. They had some friendship with each other and had not seen each other for a long time on weekdays, so they naturally had not seen each other for many days when they met. I missed them very much.

After some greetings, I finally got to the point and the abbot left with tactful thoughts.
Chapter completed!
