After Lu Yuanqing was invited away, the five returned to their residence.
There were not many guest houses in the Daoist Temple, and they were all built by the government working overtime. There are usually three houses in a small courtyard like theirs, with two people in each house, each with a bedroom. The toilets and bathrooms are also modern, and there is no old-fashioned dry toilet.
After Mo Laodao came back, he greeted fellow Taoists of the Heshan School who lived with him, and went into the house to read a book by himself.
About two hours later, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. He went to open the door, but Lu Yuanqing stood outside and said with a smile: "Brother, is it convenient for you now?"
"I'm fine."
"Oh, I have prepared a pot of good tea, would you like to sit down?"
Um
As soon as Mo Laodao changed his mind, he knew that the other party had something to talk about, and said with a smile: "Okay, I guess there is also Shi Shi."
"Oh, I can't hide it from you."
Lu Yuanqing didn't deny it, and then went to Shi Yunlai's yard again, and the three of them went to his residence together.
There was no one in the room, the environment was quiet, and there was indeed a pot of hot tea on the table. He invited the two of them to sit down and poured the tea with his own hands. After the two of them tasted it, it was indeed full of fragrance and endless aftertaste.
Slightly polite, Mo Laodao put down his cup and asked directly: "You just came back from the apse?"
"Exactly."
"Then what are you going to say?" Shi Yunlai was not stupid.
"There's a lot to say, don't worry, both of you."
Lu Yuanqing poured another round, and said: "I think everyone knows that what I did just now must be a test from above. I passed by luck, and one of the ten stones was indeed a real spirit stone. Oh, I Not to show off, but later, I met another big man from the capital... "
He paused, then continued: "This person revealed a piece of information to me. This Qiyun Taoist Temple is only a temporary residence at present. But it seems that the higher authorities have plans to use this place as a long-term place."
"How do you say it?" Mo Laodao hurriedly asked.
"Every aspect is built in accordance with the orthodox Taoist temple, including the rules and regulations, personnel structure, facility layout, disciple acceptance, etc. Moreover, the first person to break through the innate realm is the first director of the Taoist temple, and he is directly under the management of the above."
Hiss!
The two were shocked immediately, the amount of information was too great!
According to what he meant, Qiyun Taoist Academy actually surpassed Quanzhen, Zhengyi, and even Taoist Association. In the future, there will be outstanding disciples from each faction, and they will be sent here to train...
That's great! Whoever becomes the host must have a lot of consideration for his sect, such as personnel appointment, disciple selection, resource allocation, rank promotion, etc., have considerable decision-making power.
"What about the exercises? Who practices whose method?" Shi Yunlai asked suddenly.
"I didn't say that, I guess in their eyes, we are all the same."
Lu Yuanqing was also a little depressed, as if he was speechless to the government, and said: "But I'm sure that innateness is the decisive factor, and whoever breaks through first will be able to occupy the absolute dominance."
After the two listened, they were relieved for a while, and Shi Yunlai asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"
"It's easy..."
Lu Yuanqing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "First, this position must not be allowed to be taken by Zhengyi. Second, the younger brother is not talented, and if he wants to fight for this position, please support him."
"snort!"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Yunlai sneered and said: "Junior Brother, you and I are on equal footing, and Baiyun Temple and Longmen are also almost the same. Why don't I fight by myself, but support you?"
"Between brothers?"
Lu Yuanqing blinked, not mocking, but just surprised the other party's confidence, and sighed: "In this case, it's better to see the real chapter, you and I will stop when we click."
"Okay, that's what I mean!" Shi Yunlai replied.
It is said that Baiyun Temple was Qiu Chuji's ancestral home in the north when he was preaching; the Longmen School was also established by Qiu Chuji, which is essentially a family. But now, it has long been turned into two factions fighting for their own interests.
Shi Yunlai is much older, but his energy-raising skills are not as good. Seeing Lu Yuanqing sitting firmly on Mount Tai, he immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, he shook his wide sleeves and flew around like a flowing cloud, sending out a deep and long breath.
"..."
Seeing this, Lu Yuanqing raised his right hand and slapped it slowly.
This palm is not fast, but it is like a giant ship sailing in the sea, steadily breaking through the air waves. Shi Yunlai's eyes were wide open, he watched the hand stretched forward, and then spat in his palm.
boom!
He suddenly felt his arms tremble, and a tremendous force came, and he couldn't help but retreated sharply. Thanks to his solid skills, his legs sank immediately and he stood up forcibly.
"Crack!"
Looking at the wooden round stool again, it was torn apart and scattered all over the ground.
"Brother, do you want to compare?" Lu Yuanqing withdrew his hand and asked softly.
"..."
Shi Yunlai's expression was extremely embarrassing. He thought he could fight, but the opponent's background was far beyond his imagination. He is not a bad person either, immediately said: "Skills are not as good as others, I admit defeat."
Lu Yuanqing looked at Laodao Mo again, and asked, "Brother Mo, what do you mean?"
"well… "
Old Taoist Mo smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "I'm not your opponent, so there's no need to compare. Although you and I are from different sects, we belong to the Quanzhen Taoism after all, and I will definitely support it. But junior brother, I want to remind you, that Phoenix..."
"You mean those two on Phoenix Mountain?"
Lu Yuanqing interrupted the other party, and said with a smile: "People practice in the world, each has its own fate. I admire them a lot, but I also have my own way to go, and I may not be able to catch up with them."
Tsk!
After hearing this, Mo Laodao suddenly felt a move in his heart, and instantly knew where he was wrong.
A gentleman of Tian Xingjian strives for self-improvement, and in cultivating the Tao, he must overcome obstacles and never return. He lived for most of his life, and in his later years he was keen on worldly fame and fortune, and his vigor had long since disappeared.
Just like back then, when he saw Gu Yu, he was so frightened that he panicked, how could he look like an expert
For a while, he regretted and sighed, but he realized something.
…
Meanwhile, in another room.
Zhang Shouyang, Chao Kongtu, Zhong Lingyu and the others were also discussing in secret. They naturally guessed the government's intentions. What the officials value now is the innate realm, and they don't care about anything else at all.
Although Quanzhen's attack power is not enough, the inner alchemy is the biggest advantage. Zheng Yi is clutching a handful of output skills, but he has no decent skills.
Aggrieved! Zhengyi's breathing method has long been incomplete and lost, and the remaining things were collected and sorted out by the celestial masters of the past generations, and they were barely preserved.
They don't have much confidence in whether they can cultivate to the innate level.
So several people discussed and discussed, but couldn't find any solution, so they had to write letters to their respective sects to explain the situation.
…
"That is to say, he still can't sense accurately?"
"yes."
"How long does it take for him to be effective?"
"Uh...According to Lu Yuanqing, he has to cultivate to the innate state before he can meet our standards. This process is not very accurate, it all depends on his own heart and understanding. Of course, we have the foundation of Lingmi, which can shorten the time to the maximum extent." time."
"..."
In the capital, in a secret room, one person was silent for a while, and Fang said: "This kind of thing can't be forced, but fortunately, at least the route is right. Given time, we will be able to cultivate a group of talents."
"Chief!"
The person who made the report paused and asked: "If Lu Yuanqing has reached the Xiantian Realm, then we will treat him..."
"There must be preferential treatment, including him personally and the teacher's school, but the overall policy should not change. You remember, for these Taoist people, they will always be supported and suppressed. It is the last word to use them for me."
"I'm afraid that their hearts will change in the future."
"Heh, the government is too gentle. Naturally, some people want to smooth out the tiger's beard. Don't worry, I won't let this happen... By the way, has the news of the establishment of the Taoist temple been revealed?"
"There is a hint, the other party should be clear."
"Well, from now on, let's not intervene easily, let them fight by themselves, we just need to grasp the direction."
"clear!"
The man responded, and asked again: "Sir, do you have any other instructions on the Phoenix Mountain?"
"Keep it as it is, don't act rashly."
"yes!"
When the man went down, this man sat alone in the room, closing his eyes and meditating.
The current situation is both simple and complex, and all problems point to one most basic element, Lingmi.
The country's total reserves are only 515 kilograms, and they have to be divided into three parts, one for the powerful, one for the Qiyun Taoist Academy, and one for the research base.
Let's talk about the rich and powerful first, people of my level are only given 60 catties at a time. It seems that there are quite a few, but don't forget that he is not the only one in the family, there are so many descendants.
The country needs the support of the powerful group to maintain stability; the family also needs outstanding descendants to ensure continuity.
From ancient times to the present, the existence of the family has always been a group behavior, so after the first-level and second-level allocation of resources, there is really not much left in the hands of individuals.
Everyone is looking forward to the late rice. The estimated output is 500 kilograms, which should relieve a lot.
Say hospital again.
The definition of Taoism is special staff, mainly used to develop resources, and has not yet been promoted to the level of "combat". There is no way, the current level of Taoism is too low to block even bullets, so that the government subconsciously ignores it.
However, they also have a hidden function called health preservation; another concept is called longevity.
This thing is more intriguing than developing resources. In the elite circles, some people really tried it, bought a general-purpose Daoist scripture, built a room, and started to meditate.
It's a pity that it's too difficult to implement. You let these second generations practice Taoism, do they have the bones and understanding
What's more, no one knows whether this thing will be completed or not. Qiyun Taoist Academy can be regarded as an experimental site.
Finally, there is the research base.
According to the aura map, the government tried to plant many crops in various places, but all of them fell to the street. Only a few small fields in Tianzhu Mountain can produce pitiful rice.
The researchers are also doing further experiments, such as using ordinary good seeds and planting them in soil with aura; or using collected spiritual rice seeds and planting them in soil without aura... and then observing whether the yield and effect will change.
These three classes, three different groups, just form a chain: discovering new resources—the new resources are effective—the rich and powerful have tasted the sweetness—cultivating talents in the industry—urgently needing more resources.
Expansion, that's how it came about.
They are determined not to develop Mount Emei, they just want to wait for the results of the Taoist monastery and firmly hold the resources in their own hands.
"well… "
After this man finished reading, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead, feeling a little confused in his tiredness, because no one knew what this country would look like in the future
