Seeing Yao Liwei's face full of longing, admiration, and emotion, Chen Huaisheng found it hard to imagine that this person, a direct disciple of the sect leader who was over fifty years old and at the eighth level of Qi Refining, could still remember this deeply after more than ten years.

I am still so obsessed with and recalling the elegance of that Taoist meeting.

Chen Huaisheng also knew Yao Liwei's temperament after being exposed to it for so long. He had always been calm and measured, rarely surprised, but he could not hide this emotion in front of himself.

On the one hand, it shows how relaxed and casual he is in front of me, but on the other hand, it means that the scene from more than ten years ago was really deeply impressed, deep in my bones, and hard to let go.

The latter factor is definitely greater.

"Pei Shisan, the Pei family? Are they the children of the Pei family from the eight great families of the Tang Dynasty?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but asked: "Does the Da Zhao Taoist Association also welcome neighboring sects and aristocratic families to attend the meeting?"

"So what if you're welcome, so what if you're not welcome?" Yao Liwei's face still had a look of recollection, "Maybe the officials don't like it, but for our cultivation sect and aristocratic families, this is a glimpse into the neighboring sects.

An opportunity for great strength. Those who dare to come to the Shangyuan Taoist Association to show off their talents must be amazing figures in their sect. You can also compare the gap between your own..."

Chen Huaisheng finally couldn't help but ask: "A Taoist meeting is about competing against each other at the same level?"

Yao Liwei shook his head, "Competitions at the same level are naturally the most common. You can also compete across levels, but you can only go up one level. This is already the limit. After all, crossing levels means a huge gap in the realm of strength. If you don't pay attention, you will be crushed.

Pressure, generally speaking, it is difficult to make up for it with other aspects. Of course, as I said before, there are always people who are not included in this list. They can even directly advance to the next level or even achieve enlightenment in a battle..."

Yao Liweiye and Chen Huaisheng briefly talked about the various competitions and competitions in the preaching meeting.

There are competitions at the same level, challenges at higher levels, competitions between sects, and competitions for different age groups, which are quite complicated.

However, because there has been a gap of more than ten years between this Taoist meeting and the last Taoist meeting, the rules and content of the trial will not be officially released until the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Now the Dao Palace is inviting various sects to discuss, and at the same time, some changes will be made to the top list of Hidden Dragons and Soaring Phoenixes.

"I have always been curious, what is the purpose of Taoist palace organizing such a Taoist meeting? Is it just for pure discussion to improve the level of practice?"

Chen Huaisheng's question made it difficult for Yao Liwei to answer for a while. After thinking about it, he said: "Maybe it's more than just this, and there should be a deeper intention, but we small and medium-sized sects probably can't get involved.

.”

Starting from the third day of the first lunar month, Da Zhao Taoist Palace began to convene various sects and aristocratic families who came to Bianjing to discuss the content and rules of this Taoist meeting.

Now that I have come to Bianjing City, I naturally want to take a walk, but Xu Tianfeng is worried that there are so many practitioners from all over the city now that it is easy to cause unnecessary disputes over trivial matters, so he strictly ordered the disciples to

You can't go out at will, you have to form a team and ask for leave if you want to go out.

But Chen Huaisheng is not among them.

Xu Tianfeng was reassured by Chen Huaisheng's temperament and believed that he would not cause unnecessary trouble.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian coming back.

In the initial meeting, two representatives from each sect can participate in Taoist palace discussions.

But after the eighth day of the first lunar month, each sect can only have one representative.

But everyone knows that those who can really speak out at the meeting and gain recognition and respect are a few large sects and some top sects, while most of the other small and medium-sized sects can only listen on the sidelines.

"I've met Uncle Xu and Brother Zhao."

Xu Tianfeng did not go today, but Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian went to attend the meeting.

"Well, Huai Sheng went to inform all the disciples. The master wants to report the status of today's discussion."

Zhao Sitian nodded.

I wanted to go out, but it seemed like I couldn't, so Chen Huaisheng had no choice but to inform everyone.

"Today's discussion, as long as we first clarify the purpose of the Taoist meeting, the main purpose is not only to promote the true method of cultivation, but more importantly, to discuss countermeasures against the internal disputes in the Da Zhao cultivation world and some chaos in the border areas..."

There was also a hint of helplessness and loneliness in Xu Muyang's words.

For example, the Chonghua sect should be the victims of the disputes and chaos mentioned. Longyanfang City was attacked, Zheng Zeyuan, Lu Zhaolin and others were attacked, the dispute with Baishimen, and the bullying of the Southern Chu Zijin sect.

All of them were involved in the main purpose of this Taoist meeting, but during the discussion, it was not the turn of small and medium-sized sects like them to intervene.

The topic is basically dominated by sects and clans such as Tianyun Sect, Taihua Dao, Wanxiang Sect, Huaxi Sword Sect, Bianjing Zhao family, Shi family, Tao family, Luoyi Mi family and Zhen family. Even Jiulian Sect wants to

It's not easy to get a word in.

"According to what the uncle said, this palace has never cared about the troubles and difficulties faced by our sects in the border area of ​​Yinan?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but asked: "Then why bother with such a

Where's the pretense?"

Xu Muyang, Xu Tianfeng and Zhao Sitian all found it difficult to answer.

"Also, if we and Baishimen are in an internal sect dispute within Da Zhao, the Taoist palace can't take sides, and the Zijin sect is bullying us. This is an attack by the Southern Chu sect against the Zhao sect. Isn't there an explanation?

?" Seeing that Xu Muyang hesitated to speak, Chen Huaisheng asked slightly sarcastically: "Or do you mean that we don't have definite evidence?"

Xu Muyang smiled bitterly and said nothing, while Zhao Sitian nodded helplessly.

"Well, the result was that we were attacked and victimized, which became the best cover for them to hold Taoist gatherings. But in fact, few people took our matter seriously at all. They were afraid that the monsters would come out in winter and attack them.

Isn’t it a trivial matter worth mentioning in your mind?”

Chen Huaisheng's harsh words made Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian remain silent with a hint of bitterness.

There are two capitals in the nine counties of Zhao. Needless to say, the nine counties are ranked according to their population and status: the three counties in the east, the three counties in the west, and the three counties in the south. Among the three counties in the south, the poorest, most remote and least populated is Yijun, and Yijun’s

The three prefectures in Yinan, Huozhou, Langling, and Yiyang, are the poorest and most southern border areas.

Whether it is the Lingyun Sect, the Chonghua Sect, or even the Baishi Sect, what does it matter to the big sects and aristocratic families in Bianjing?

A group of country bumpkins, a few foundation builders in the sect are considered big shots, but what do they mean in the city of Bianjing?

"Then what are we doing?" Chen Huaisheng asked again.

Xu Muyang waved his hand: "Why are our affairs not worth mentioning in the minds of people like Daogong? In the final analysis, our own strength and influence are insufficient. The imperial court in Bianjing City will not kill hundreds of mortals in Langling."

If you don’t care, the Taoist palace won’t care if ten or twenty monks die..."

"But what if something like this happened in Bianjing City? What if Huaxi Sword Sect or Taihua revealed something like this? I'm afraid it would be different."

"So what we have to do is to make these people in the Dao Palace realize that we are not dispensable..."

Xu Muyang didn't say any more. Chen Huaisheng didn't know if Yuan Wenbo, Cai Jinyang and Tong Tong understood the meaning of Xu Muyang's unspoken words.

People dispersed.

Chen Huaisheng suddenly lost interest in going out for a walk.

The fate of the Chonghua Sect is uncertain, which also means that its own future is also very uncertain.

The value and significance of the Chonghua Sect must be proven by the excellent performance at the Taoist meeting, and proven to the Jiulian Sect. But if the big guys behind them feel that the Chonghua Sect is more valuable, it is not this group of people, but

What about wealth and land?

Or maybe the Jiulian Sect cannot control this situation at all, and even the Jiulian Sect itself is facing the same crisis?

From the situation introduced by Xu Muyang and Zhao Sitian, Chen Huaisheng felt that the critical situation might be worse than imagined. It was not even about how well the Chonghua Sect performed its efforts, but that the Jiulian Sect itself could no longer control its own situation.

Destined, how can it have the energy to take care of other people?

How important is Yinan, or even Yijun, to the Jiulian Sect? So what if we give up?

If it was really important, it would not have been entrusted to Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect for so many years, and not even a Taoist temple was established in Yijun.

I'm afraid I should go to the Jiulian Sect to take a look and find out what the situation is like. I haven't seen him for three years. How is the situation in the Jiulian Sect?

The Nine Lotus Sect is different from other sects. It is an alliance of nine branches, but their alliance is relatively close. It was originally one branch with nine branches, but later it was re-integrated. The sect has a history of two thousand years.

Its mountain gates also have nine branches, but the main altar is set up in Bianjing.

For example, the gate of Guipeng Sect is at Bailing Mountain in Sui County, and the gate of Demon Lotus Sect is at Yunxiao Mountain in Ji County.

Chen Huaisheng arrived at Changlefang inside Daliangmen, where the main altar of Jiulian Sect was established.

Looking at the rows of pavilions and pavilions and the huge archway outside, one can also see the prominence of the Nine Lotus Sect in the capital city.

Perhaps because of being in Bianjing City, although Chen Huaisheng could also feel the aura of the magic circle, it at least seemed quite peaceful and peaceful outside. There were four disciples outside who were responsible for knowing guests, all of whom were at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and their age

They are not very old either, they are all around thirty or forty years old.

"Brothers, Chen Huaisheng, a disciple of Chonghua, has come to pay a visit to Senior Brother Tang Jingtian of the Nine Lotus Ghost Peng Sect."

Several disciples actually saw Chen Huaisheng coming on foot from a distance, but they didn't pay much attention.

But when I got closer, I was a little surprised to see that Chen Huaisheng, who was only in his early twenties, was actually at the fourth level of Qi Refining. However, considering that the disciples from various sects who came to the capital city at this time were all chosen from thousands of roles, so

Feel calm.

"Senior Brother Tang hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid he won't arrive in Beijing for another two or three days." A disciple responded immediately as he obviously knew Tang Jingtian's whereabouts.

Chen Huaisheng was slightly disappointed, but then he said: "What about Junior Sister Xuan Chimei of Yuan He Sect? I wonder if she is here?"

Before the Zhike disciple could say anything, a surprising voice came from outside the archway: "Brother Huaisheng? Is it really you?"
