Chapter 199: Request
Now, the appeals of the Third Division have gradually become clear.
The three deputy head sects, Dazhen, did not care about the truth about the ascension of the head sect. They were more concerned about the power structure after the ascension of the head sects of the head sects.
Of course, it is best to use the master sect to do some work, such as seizing the moral high ground or attacking opponents with this. But it has nothing to do with justice.
The Tianshi's demand is that the ascension of the seven generations of great masters is different from the ascension of the six generations of great masters. The former is forced to ascension, while the latter is actively ascension. The six generations of great masters voluntarily gave up their remaining term, and the seven generations of great masters' term has not yet ended. The seven generations of great masters' wives should exercise the power of the great masters until the seven generations of great masters' end. As a compromise, the Tianshi agreed to select the eight generations of great masters.
The demand of the Earth Master is: the Taoist sect has never had a great master of his generation, so no matter what the reason is, no matter whether the seventh generation of great masters dies, ascends, or voluntarily abdicates, the seventh generation of disciples should no longer choose the Great Masters, and the eighth generation of great masters should be elected from the eighth generation of disciples. As a compromise, the Earth Master agreed that the seventh generation of great masters' wives should exercise the authority of the seventh generation of great masters until the end of the theoretical term of the seventh generation of great masters.
This is what the Earth Master said, "Thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi" - if Qi Xuansu became the chief sect, at his age, his term of office would indeed be longer than other chief sects, second only to Xuansheng, and more than sixty years, the seven generations of chief sect wives would have been thirty years away from ascension. Before Cihang's ascendant, Qi Xuansu became a famous chief sect. After Cihang's ascendant, Qi Xuansu "takes power" again.
As for the national teacher's demands, it is not difficult to guess. Of course, it is to reorganize the election of seven generations of disciples, and then Qingwei Zhenren won the election without doubt and became the new leader.
There is indeed a problem here, that is, why didn’t the six generations of disciples organize the election of the great masters after the ascension of the sixth generation of great masters? Jiang Dazhenren is also likely to win the election and become the new great master.
The sixth generation of disciples after the ascension of the sixth generation of the great master sect will not be selected, but the seventh generation of disciples after the ascension of the seventh generation of the great master sect will instead be selected. The double standard is too ugly.
You can't just elect the chief tutor when the election is favorable.
Also, if the Qingwei Zhenren really wins the election, what should I call it? It is not the eighth generation master of the eighth generation disciples? The last seventh generation master of the last seventh generation? It can’t be called “seven and a half generations”.
It is predictable that it is easier for the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master to reach a consensus.
First of all, as Master Di said, the heirs of both families are too weak, and Zhang Kucheng and Yao Yi are no match for Qingwei Zhenren at all.
Secondly, if the Li family is too strong, it will inevitably be the weaker two companies that join forces to resist the stronger ones, rather than letting the stronger ones defeat one by one. Unless the national teacher can offer a higher price first, this is an unsolvable situation.
Finally, Zhengyidao and Quanzhendao have been in an alliance for the past decade. This alliance has not broken down, and even if the seven generations of great masters have taken office, it is still maintained.
Although the Earth Master launched the palace transformation, he could still regard it as an internal strife of Quanzhen Dao, which had little to do with Zhengyi Dao.
The only question now is, is the land master trustworthy?
The Earth Master launched the palace transformation, which caused his credit to shrink and he was almost bankrupt. Can the Heaven Master believe that the Earth Master is a question - although the Heaven Master now agrees, the Heaven Master can also regret it. Who can restrain a deputy head sect master?
If a simple verbal agreement can be foolproof, then there is no need to start a state of ready combat.
Of course, there is another variable here, that is, with the bankruptcy of the credit of the Earth Master, the ascension of the Great Master, the ascension of the Great Master, and some Quanzhen Taoist people, including Yao Pei, decided to rebel. Those forces loyal to the Great Master and the Master were greatly disappointed with the Earth Master.
This is also the root cause of the innate disease caused by Quanzhen Dao. When Xuansheng integrated the three paths, Zhengyi Dao and Taiping Dao had a backbone, or the main family, but Quanzhen Dao did not. This is fine. Xuansheng also divided those who did not leave with the Western Dao Sect, the people from the Guge Zao Sect, and local forces that were not counted as local forces. The pseudo-immortals under Lu Wushen's command, and the witch sect's legacy elements, which also included Quanzhen Dao from the end of the three paths to the top of the three paths - just in terms of size.
Then the division of Quanzhen Taoism is inevitable. The differences between various factions are too great. If the ancestors of eight generations have nothing in common, even if the Yao family rises in the future, they will not be able to integrate them.
Among them, the Donghua lineage, the Shenxiao lineage, and the Miaozhen lineage consider themselves to be the orthodox of Quanzhen Taoism, obey the Yao family, and look down on the Yao family from the bottom of their bones.
The Xu family and Shangguan family believed that they had inherited the Daotong of Xu Zu and also obeyed the Yao family, and believed that the Yao family had taken away their position as the Earth Master.
Zhang Zu's descendants were still the Heavenly Master, and Li Zu's descendants were also the National Master. So why are Xu Zu's descendants so down and out?
These people support the great master and are potential opponents of the Yao family.
No wonder Yao Pei was so pessimistic, believing that the Yao family would inevitably be liquidated after the Earth Master ascended.
In addition, after the great master lost the leader Jiang Dazhenren, the leader, the group of dragons had no heads, and showed a mess of sand, and suffered severe damage in the palace transformation.
So the two forces began to merge, and in the name of the big master and the little master, Zhang Yuelu was nominally recommended, but actually waiting for Wu Niang to come back to take charge of the overall situation - it was not Qi Jiaozheng who could take over the position of Jiang Dazhenren, but Qi Wu.
It can be imagined that if the true master Jiang Da had not ascended and raised his arms, the situation of the Earth Master would be even more difficult.
At the same time, this force also knows that it is impossible to achieve things by relying on itself alone. It must join forces with one of the three paths, first of all, eliminate the Quanzhen Taoism of the Yao family, and the weakest of the three paths is the best partner. Among them, in addition to Zhang Yuelu, Taiping Taoism is too strong, which is also one of the reasons. People in the Taoist sect always pay attention to the balance of yin and yang. Cooperating with Taiping Tao means becoming a vassal of Taiping Tao, not to mention that Taiping Tao already has the support of the Beidao Sect.
In short, the inertia of the two hundred years of great unification of Taoism is still there. The three paths are not the three religions. If they are not so clearly divided, they will inevitably have me and I will have you.
Take Yao Pei as an example. It is true that she is a child of the Yao family, but she is also the niece and disciple of the eldest sect, and the niece and senior sister of the young sect, so how should she calculate it?
After the Earth Master left, Zhang Wuyong walked out and whispered: "The Earth Master can betray the great master and also betray us. Her promise is not credible."
Tianshi said: "I know that the earth master is not trustworthy, what about the national master? It is not trustworthy. Whether the promise can be fulfilled does not depend on the earth master and the national master, but on ourselves."
Zhang Wuyong sighed: "It's a pity that Qingxiao's temperament is too straightforward and too stubborn. If she was willing to support us wholeheartedly, the situation would be different."
The Tianshi smiled: "You are too difficult for Qingxiao and too high regard for Qingxiao. Do you really think that Qingxiao can command those people? It's almost the same to be Qi Xuansu. After all, Qi Xuansu's immortal cultivation is here, and his achievements over the years are also here. In addition to the title of the descendant of the Great Master, he can barely suppress it. Qingxiao's cultivation is insufficient and his prestige is insufficient, which is just the greatest common divisor that all forces can accept."
Zhang Wuyong was silent.
The Heavenly Master stretched out a hand, watched the incense smoke in the hall move around his palm, and slowly said: "The stories in this world always revolve around death and desire, which are also the two ultimate problems that people have to face in this life.
"No matter how you escape, they always encounter you unexpectedly at some point.
"A person will die, and this short life is filled with too many desires. Human nature determines that we are never satisfied. The endless desire is both the driving force for our progress and the source of pain.
"Around death and desire, different concepts have been formed in different life experiences, and this is the origin of disputes. What is good? What is bad? What is worth? And what is not worth it? They are all within this range.
"Maybe you want to say that immortals are exceptions, but a hundred years of time is too short, and it is not enough to change the idea and concept of immortals as humans, not to mention that for more than half of this century of time, immortals are not immortals, but just mortals seeking Taoism, so we are still in the category of humans, which is also what the Taoist sect has always emphasized.
