When the sect leader walked into Shangqing Palace, everyone was excited and restrained all their expressions at the same time, leaving only solemnity and solemnity.

The order in which the sect leaders entered the hall was also based on the strength of their respective sects. The sect leaders of Zhengyi Sect, Qingwei Sect, Butian Sect and other major sect leaders walked behind, while the slightly inferior sect leaders walked in front.

First, the sect leader of the Faxiang Sect, Zuo Yuhan, the sect leader of the Xuannv Sect, Xiao Shiyu, the sect leader of the Donghua Sect, Taiwei, the sect leader of the Shenxiao Sect, Sanxuan, Zhenren, the sect leader of the Miaozhen Sect, Zhenren, Qin Su, the sect leader of the Wangqing Sect, and Chou Nuer, the deputy sect leader of the Tianle Sect.

Next is the nominal guest of worship, Bai Xiushang, the leader of Cihang Sect, Wuzhen, the leader of Vajra Sect, the leader of Zhenyan Sect, and Fang Yuanyuan, the acting abbot of Jingzen Sect.

Although the Buddhist sects are not nominally included in the Taoist sect, both the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect know it well. Now that Buddhism is in a very strong way, it is absolutely impossible to establish a self-employed person. In the current situation, it is either to rely on the Taoist sect or the Confucian sect. There is no need to say much about this. The twelve sects of the righteous path have been formed for a long time, and the four Buddhist sects have long been integrated into the Taoist system. It can be said that they are not Taoist sects, but are better than Taoist sects.

Behind the four Buddhist sect leaders are Zhang Jingxuan, the elder of Zhengyi Sect, Li Feiyan, the deputy sect leader of Qingwei Sect, and Yun Chengzong, the head of Ziwei Hall of Butian Sect.

It was a coincidence. None of the three major sects, second only to the sect leader, came, and I don’t know if it was a tacit understanding between each other or an unintentional coincidence.

After the sect leaders walked into the Yuqing Hall, there was only one person left.

The leader of Taiping Sect, Li Xuandu.

Now, everyone has already acknowledged the status of Li Xuandu, second only to the three masters of the masters. Especially in the days of preparing for the Dao Sect Conference, no matter which sect comes from, they have been sent by Li Xuandu to more or less. Many people have privately called Li Xuandu the Little Master of the masters of the masters or the fourth master.

Having said that, it still caused a small commotion when he truly determined Li Xuandu's position in the Taoist sect in this more euphemistic way.

The three masters of the Taoist sect are well deserved. Whether it is the Great Sword Immortal Li Daoxu, the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, or the "Heavenly Sword" Qin Qing, they are all figures who are as good as the cultivation of the long-term habitat and the Dinghai Ding Needle, no one dares to raise any objection. However, many people still have different ideas about the future successor, that is, the future master.

Nowadays, all the people who can enter the Sanqing Palace are in high positions and are famous figures in the eyes of ordinary people in the martial arts world. Although these people are kind, they have their own plans in their hearts. Without exception, they want a person who can guarantee their own interests to become the future master. Li Xuandu’s advantage is that he takes into account the interests of all parties, and his disadvantage is that he cannot guarantee all the interests of any sect. In other words, as long as Li Xuandu is at the top, almost everyone will be exposed to interests, which is also an inevitable process of Taoist unification.

Some young men have heard of Li Xuandu’s name, but they don’t know the deep relationship between Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu, Qin Qing and others, and they don’t understand why the three masters and masters would acquiesce to Li Xuandu to become the future master. Is it just because he has promoted the peace talks between the north and the south?

Someone asked his elders about his heart.

The elder pondered for a moment and said in a voice transmission: "In the first year of Tianbao, he had just reached the crown. In the sixth year of Tianbao, he was just twenty-five years old. He was only twenty-seven years old this year, but from the sect leader to the hall masters, elders, heads, and gang leaders, they all called him Mr. Qingping, and some also called him Mr. Fourth, Mr. Li, and Mr. Zi. No matter which title is, you can see the respect and importance of the great people for this Mr. Qingping. Of course, this is because he is an old sword god disciple and a son-in-law of the "Tiandao", but it is not just for this reason."

The person who asked questions was also from a good background. He was a person who watched the rituals from the Confucian sect, named Xie Yueyin. His name came from an allusion by the saint of Lixue: the moon seals thousands of rivers, a moon hangs high in the night sky, but countless moons can be seen in the rivers and lakes of the world. Countless moons eventually return to a moon, meaning that the laws of heaven are the origin of all things.

Xie Yueyin was wearing a moon-white Confucian robe and a bamboo fan in hand. His face was like a crown and jade. He was born in the southern Jiangsu family, and he was also the eldest son of the eldest son. He had a family background. He was enlightened at the age of three and wrote poems at the age of five. His literary and intellectual principles were visible. Later, he joined the Tianxin Academy and changed his name to Yueyin. This academic palace had a great relationship with the saints of Neo-Confucianism, which also showed his elders' sincere expectations for him. As for his mentor, it was Wang Nanting, the high priest of Tianxin Academy. This time he came with Wang Nanting.

As the saying goes, when two armies fight, they will not kill the envoys, and the Confucian and Taoist warriors will symbolically send people to come, and Taoist sects will also be regarded as guests of honor. This is common, and sometimes, there are also peace talks while fighting. They stabbed the sword in secret and killed the king of heaven. They are ruthless in their actions, but they must be naked and not dust at all.

Xie Yueyin subconsciously glanced at the main entrance of the Sanqing Palace. Li Xuandu and the three masters of the sects were not seen yet, and asked, "What's the reason?"

Wang Nanting's eyes did not look outside the Sanqing Hall, but looked at the tall statue of the Taoist ancestor in the hall, and continued, "When you were ten years old, you left your parents and entered the Tianxin Academy to study. When you were in your prime, you had achieved success in your studies and began to participate in the affairs of the Academy and Confucianism. However, this Mr. Qingping was thrown into the world by Li Daoxue at the age of ten, and he was struggling. From the time he was eighteen, he swept across the Heshuo land and did not go to the northwest until he was nineteen.

, This is his experience in the martial arts world. When you were studying, he had already experienced the swords and swords in the martial arts world. When he was in his prime, he met Zhang Suqing's eldest son Zhang Baigui, followed Zhang Baigui into the imperial capital. With the support of Zhang Haishi and Zhang Suqing, he began to take power in the Qingwei Sect until the second year of Tianbao. During this period, he witnessed the intrigues and deceptions in the temple. He had enough knowledge of both the temple and the rivers and lakes."

Xie Yueyin's eyes lowered, "Even so, it doesn't mean that he can be the leader of the Taoist sect."

Wang Nanting withdrew his gaze and sighed, "Do you know, in the second year of Tianbao, our Confucian people were very gentle and friendly towards him, and even because of Zhang Suqing, he called him half a Confucian disciple. After the imperial capital change in the second year of Tianbao, he lost all his power, lived in seclusion, and rebirth in the world, his attitude towards Confucianism changed greatly. It is precisely because of Zhang Suqing that this person has a profound understanding of our Confucianism, which is not only unimaginable, but even surpasses me.

Many people inside the Confucian Sect. Last year, the Taoist peace talks were not yet obvious, and he had already started to connect privately, intending to establish an alliance independent of Li Daoxu and Zhang Jingxiu. Li Daoxu and Zhang Jingxiu have noticed his alliance and the actions he took. Our Confucian Sect also paid attention to it. It is undeniable that this alliance has become a small part. Li Xuandu's foundation is far less weak than outsiders imagine. This is where his confidence lies in mediation between Zhang and Li."

This was the first time Xie Yueyin heard this secret, and was very shocked. Earlier, he just thought that Li Xuan could have today, but it was the support and charity of Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu and Qin Qing, but he didn't expect that Li Xuan would be faintly independent of the three.

Wang Nanting sighed a little, "It seems that after a change in the imperial capital, Li Xuan understood one thing: other people's things are always someone else's. Others can give them to you and take them away. Only yours is yours."

Xie Yueyin pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher, I still have something unknown to you. There is a dispute between four and six in the twelve sects of the righteous path, that is, ten of them have been divided by Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu, leaving only one Taiping Sect and Jing Zen Sect. Jing Zen Sect was severely injured by the earth master. Even if Li Xuandu had some means, he was just a Taiping Sect in his hand."

"You, the scholar's opinion, just think things simple." Wang Nanting glanced at the disciple, "There is no clear distinction between things in this world. You have always been me and you in me. Some people are famous and famous, people of Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu, Qin Qing, or even Xu Wugui, or people of Confucianism, but in fact? Only they know who they are."

Xie Yueyin was shocked, "The teacher means..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Nanting had already interrupted him, "That's right, Li Xuandu's foundation may not be in the open, but in the dark. On the open, this Mr. Qingping only has one Taiping Sect and a broken Jing Zen Sect, but in the dark, it's hard to say."

"Do you know the three masters of the Taoist sect?" Xie Yueyin asked.

"I know." Wang Nanting said, "Of course they knew, but at this time, Li Xuandu's identity came into effect. Zhang Jingxiu wanted to use Li Xuandu to conduct Taoist peace talks, so he supported him. Li Daoxu could only agree because of his master-disciple and some voices within the Qingwei Sect. Not to mention Qin Qing, his daughter was married, and his son-in-law was half a son. So the three of them knew, but they could not do anything due to the situation and human feelings, and even reached a compromise, and Li Xuandu took the position of this "prince". To put it as a ruthless argument, in the future, Confucianism and Taoism will fight, and Li Xuandu, who was the most conquered Confucianism, was reasonable."

Xie Yueyin asked, "Why don't you get rid of him early?"

Wang Nanting asked back: "Li Xuan has only been in power for two years. Not to mention two years ago, one year ago, could you expect that Li Xuan will have today's status?"

Xie Yueyin shook his head, "Unexpected."
