685 Where don't rivals meet? The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
(685 Where don't the enemies meet?
Of course, he didn't know that it was not Gou Zhu who felt this subtle change, but Lian Ling, who was hidden in Gou Zhu's body with the body of Shura Lan.
At this time, Gou Zhu coughed twice, his eyes narrowed and he smiled: "Senior Brother Kong and Senior Sister Murong are chess opponents, and it is normal to have an accidental miss when they fight." Since there is no winner or loser this time, how about we wait for Senior Brother Kong to heal from his injury before making an appointment?"
Whether it is Gou Zhu or Murong Qing, he has no interest in such a false name as the leader of the Sword Society. And they didn't really come here to participate in this sword meeting. They had other important matters to go to Tongzhou, and participating in the sword battle was just to satisfy Murong Qing's interest.
Of course, Xue You wouldn't fail to hear that this was for them to go down the steps of the Flying Sword Hall. He had no choice but to hold the sword in his hand with a cold face, turn his head and go down. After a while, a deacon disciple in the Flying Sword Hall stood up and announced that the Sword Discussion Meeting would be fought again at a later date, and then the five-year Flying Sword Hall Sword Discussion Meeting would end.
At this time, in the Flying Sword Pavilion hundreds of steps away, on a pineapple wooden table, the brilliance gradually faded. A middle-aged man with a round face, a slightly chubby body, a black hair neatly tied on the top of his head, and only wearing a circle of scarves slapped the table and said angrily:
"The current generation of young disciples is really not as good as the generation. Five years ago, Tang Yumo was quite a bit capable, what is going on with this Kong Yu this year? Moreover, Xue You is also the eldest and not a small person, what is it to pretend to engage in these small actions? I think I can't see it? These guys haven't grown in swordsmanship for more than ten years, and their kung fu is much stronger!"
This person is really Chen Ang, the hall master of the Flying Sword Hall.
Opposite Chen Ang was a withered old man, his hair and beard were gray and unkempt like a clump of thatch, holding a copper pipe more than a foot long, still smoking green smoke, but he had not moved for a long time when he had put it in his hand.
This old man is none other than the deputy commander of Xuan Tiewei, Yelan. After he "watched" this sword debate, he was still shocked. What shocked him was not the swordsmanship, but the Thunder Xuanmu species on Murong Qing's sword.
If there was a turning point in his fate, it was when he met this spirit seed.
More than ten years ago, he saw that Thunder Xuanmu seed in Qingyang Town. Although he was snatched and bought by a few young Xuan Xiu, he still got his hands on it through some means, and also got those Xuan Xiu into the prison of the inspection center.
Unexpectedly, not only did a few Xuan Xiu escape, but the entire Lonely Proud Peak patrol station was destroyed. What's even more amazing is that he later infiltrated the Jade Palace Teleportation Tower to capture Huang Quan, who had defected from the Xuantie Guard many years ago, and met these people again.
That time he suffered an unprecedented defeat. Ten years of planning was ruined. Not only did he not capture Huangquan, but Lei Xuanmu also gained and lost, and the doppelganger of his master, King Xia, was also beheaded, and he also lost the trust of King Xia because of this.
After that, King Xia put aside him to act alone, and fell into the trick of King Yun in the battle of the Self-Born Monument, and was directly beaten into a waste, and now he has completely lost the opportunity to compete for the storage position.
Every Lei Xuanmu species is the same as everyone, and the breath is different. When the spiritual power on that thunder tree seed was suddenly stimulated and burst out, it felt like lightning illuminated these ominous memories of him.
Why did he meet these people here again, isn't this the so-called not a rivalry?
He didn't know that Qingyang Town was really a gathering of wind and clouds back then. Not only the prince, Xuan Tiewei, Tang Su of the patrol station, Mu Fei of the Tree Clan, Gou Zhu and Lian Ling of the Jade Palace all appeared, but the little-known Confucian Hong Ru who sold this Lei Xuan wood seed has now become the number one staff member under the Cloud Throne.
After these memories flashed through his mind like lightning, he came back to his senses and said to Chen Ang, "What, you plan to take this Jade Palace disciple as an apprentice?"
Chen Ang replied generously: "Of course, when did the old man regret his promise? What if he was not a disciple of the Five Elements Sect? The old man never said that he would not accept the disciples of the sect at the Sword Discussion Meeting. Besides, this one is from the Jade Palace. Isn't Tang Su from Jade Palace very good! If it weren't for a broken hand, it would actually be good to inherit the mantle of the old man. ”
"Hmph," Yelan snorted coldly, "I'll just make it clear, you have to accept this person no matter what." Otherwise, who will break that sword puppet array? Just your Kong Yu, who has been abolished? Don't forget, now is a critical moment in the dispute between idle Confucians in your sect. If you can't do this thing, you don't have to do the rest of it. ”
The expression on Chen Ang's fat face froze, but in a blink of an eye, it changed to a disdainful color: "A mere jade palace, can you still give shame to you?
Yelan said that it was the key to the dispute between Confucianism, but he didn't say it explicitly, this was actually the key to the choice of the Five Elements Sect between Emperor Kun Yuan and King Yun.
The monks of the Five Elements Sect are naturally all Xuan cultivators, and there is no distinction between Xuan and Confucian. But among the five major sects in the world, there are four major sects that are supported by the Houtu royal family and also serve the royal family. Not only were they sectarians, but they were also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Army. Many Xuan Xiu have official positions.
Attachment to the imperial court is the only way for the Tianxia sect to exist as an "authentic sect". On the contrary, it is an evil sect. For example, the notorious Corpse Soul Sect and the like, they are all evil sects that can't be put on the table.
This way of survival of several major sects was supported by a large amount of resources from the imperial court, and it developed far faster than various side sects, so soon Tangkou and Xia Sects spread all over the world. But it also brought about the so-called "Confucianism Controversy".
Because these sects are, after all, an organization of monks. There were always some monks who had strange tempers, loose personalities, or arrogant temperaments, and did not submit to the management of the officials. And these people often have no shortage of powerful monks, and they can't all be expelled from the sect. So these monks became known as Xianxuan.
Others, on the other hand, were loyal to the imperial court, and of course they had easier access to stronger resources. The real statecraft of the imperial court was Confucianism, so these people were called Confucianism. It's not that they themselves really learned Confucianism, it's just that they are loyal to the imperial court.
Among the four major sects, it is obvious that Confucianism and Xuan are the mainstream, otherwise they would not have existed at all, and it would be impossible for the imperial court to spend a lot of money to support a sect that is not loyal to itself. But the power of Xianxuan is often not to be underestimated. This kind of free and loose atmosphere has existed in Xuanmen since ancient times, but loyalty to the imperial court is easy to be ridiculed as a lackey of the imperial court.
When these two forces converge, it is inevitable that there will be a fight. This is all in the four major sects, but the intensity is different. This is the so-called dispute between idleness and Confucianism.
But among the five major sects, there is another sect that is transcendent, and that is the Lingyuan Sect, the ancestor of all sects. It's not that the Lingyuan Sect has been out of contact with the imperial court since ancient times. It is because the Lingyuan Sect is located in the Lingyuan Mountain in the north, which was originally the territory of the Houtu Dynasty, but now it is the territory of the Dust Tribe. Since the Lingyuan Sect is no longer within the jurisdiction of the Houtu Dynasty, it naturally doesn't matter what idleness and Confucianism are.
In the vast northland, the emperors of the Houtu Dynasty did not think about recovering it, but they were defeated and gradually gave up. At present, the northern Xinjiang is still a place of freedom for the dust and wind tribes. Not only that, but the dust and wind tribes often have the intention of expanding southward.
Although Yelan was born in the Five Elements Sect, he had already accepted the call of Xuan Tiewei, and had already broken away from the sect to develop independently, and was the most typical Confucian Xuan. And like Chen Ang, the master of the Flying Sword Hall, he is a Confucian Xuan who is in the Xuanmen and has an official position in the imperial court, and he is the "grasp" of the imperial court to control the sect.
And those monks who do not obey the rules, and even seem to be a little lawless, are the idle cultivators they have to deal with. Not allowing idle cultivation to occupy too important a position in the sect is the most important content of the dispute between idle and Confucian.
The lower sects of the Five Elements Sect are different. Since ancient times, the Lihuo Palace has been dominated by Confucianism and Xuan, and has continuously sent many talents to the imperial court. And the Jade Palace was built by Qin Zunyang, the famous unruly ancestor. Although the Torture Hall and others tried to lean towards the imperial court, they were still full of idle flavor on the whole.
But the Jade Palace also has its own way of survival. On the one hand, it has never rebelled against the imperial court and Shangzong, and on the other hand, it occupies the Jade Peak where the spiritual energy gathers in the southeast, producing its own elixirs and spiritual seeds, and earning a lot of money.
At the same time, the Jade Palace also judged the situation to support the Cloud King of Jinyu City, and Yuzhou also contributed a lot in resisting the invasion of the demon world.
Naturally, the imperial court was more controlled by the Five Elements Sect than by destroying it easily. Otherwise, it is equivalent to turning a beneficial and harmless medium sect into a hornet's nest.
But this is based on the premise that the imperial court is in harmony with King Yun. Once these two parties are clouded and even turn their faces, the Jade Palace will become precarious, and even the Five Elements Sect will have to correct its position in these two parties.
Because Ru Xuan is loyal to the imperial court, and King Yun must be more dependent on those idle Xuan. When Emperor Kun Yuan became more and more jealous of King Yun's thriving strength, the so-called dispute between idle Confucians would naturally become more and more intense. The Five Elements Sect, which was originally left and right, had to make a choice sooner or later.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, which is also the reason why Yelan appears here.
Seeing Chen Ang, who was full of confidence, Yelan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. This time, I'm afraid that the Jade Palace is not here just for your sword club. Otherwise, why would they send Huo Yun? And the kid surnamed Song also came. "Oh?" Chen Ang's heart suddenly felt uneasy, "Could it be that they are also for the Song family's mine?"
