Nanfeng was not surprised by Tian Mingzi's statement. Although the Sanqing Sect was both an authentic Taoist sect, the sect's ethos and emphasis were quite different.
The Yuqing Sect has strict sect rules. The Taoists under the sect do not have much contact with the outside world on weekdays. Most of the time they meditate in the mountains and practice Qi. Their goal is very clear, which is to practice Qi and rise to the top. They rarely get involved in trivial matters in the world. Because they are dedicated to practice and practice Qi naturally improves rapidly.
Seeing Nan Feng frowning, Tian Mingzi hurriedly added, "Although there are many immortal families from the Yuqing Sect, most of them have idle jobs after ascending to the throne. Most of the people who hold important positions are my senior Taiqing."
"Why is this?" Nanfeng asked casually.
"Listen to what I'm telling you." Tianmingzi said softly.
Many things are inextricably linked to each other, and this matter starts with the sect style of Taiqing Sect.
The Taiqing Sect was deeply involved in the world and was involved in Taoism and miscellaneous studies. The so-called miscellaneous studies did not mean that they were not doing their job properly, but that they practiced mostly trivial magic spells to solve people's problems. They did the most to subjugate demons and catch ghosts in the world. To make a memorial ceremony for the sake of salvation, to move the grave and to visit the family, who else would be better off than me.
After all, human energy is limited. If you focus on magic and miscellaneous arts, you will inevitably neglect practicing Qi. The Taiqing Sect naturally knows this, but they have not corrected the changes. The reason is simple. If you want to ascend, you not only need the corresponding spiritual Qi cultivation. For this, you still need to accumulate a lot of merit.
Taoist Taoists from Taiqing traveled around the world, although most of the time it was to make a living, but at the same time they could also solve the problems of the world, which was also a meritorious deed. Because they often walked around the world, they were well known to the world when they were alive. After their ascension, most of the positions awarded by the heaven were to deal with mortals. After all, they are very familiar with the world, and the people are also very familiar with them. Among them, the more famous There are Taibai Jinxing, Zhang Daoling and others. They are all seniors of Taiqing. After their ascension, they all held important positions in the heaven.
Even if Nanfeng understood, Tianmingzi hadn't stopped talking yet. Nanfeng had no choice but to interrupt him again, "What do you think of the Shangqing Sect?"
"Shangqing Sect?" Tianmingzi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Do you want to hear the words or the truth?"
Nan Feng glanced at Tian Naruko and did not answer.
"The Patriarch of the Shangqing Dynasty left behind the oracle of teaching without distinction. The Shangqing Sect has been adhering to it for thousands of years. It has opened its gates widely and has many disciples all over the world. Their magic and martial arts are superb and exquisite, and they act like a chivalrous man. …”
"Okay, okay, let's talk human talk." Nanfeng waved his hands repeatedly, interrupting Tianmingzi's words.
"I know you have a personal relationship with Yan Feixue, so it's better not to tell the truth." Tianmingzi sneered.
"It's okay, let's talk about it." Nanfeng said with a smile.
"If I say that they are a perverse and cruel mob, bandits and bandits who will seek revenge, you will definitely be angry, so you'd better not say anything." Tianmingzi shook his head repeatedly.
Tianmingzi said it cleverly, and Nanfeng couldn't blame him. However, Tianmingzi's evaluation of the Shangqing Sect was not purely slanderous. Back then, Li Chaozong led his people to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to provoke the Shangqing Sect, but was later chased to the Western Wei Dynasty by Yan Feixue. , almost ended up in the old house, which shows how fierce the Shangqing Sect is. If it were Taiqing Yuqing, he would probably respect his identity and endure this tone in exchange for a good reputation.
Tianmingzi stood up and went to untie his pocket, "I just gave you a rough outline before, and I will point you to the immortal families who came from Yuqing one by one."
"No need, I'll look at it myself when I have free time." Nanfeng also stood up. At this time, three purple qi appeared in the east, one of which was the purple qi cave abyss. It should be the group that welcomed Tian Qizi back. .
Tianmingzi's cultivation was not as good as Nanfeng's, and he had never seen Dongfang's complexion at this time. When Nanfeng got up, he asked to please him, "Autumn and winter are cold, don't sit here, go to another courtyard to rest."
Nanfeng shook his head. Previously, he was still worried about how to place Tianmingzi, but now he has made plans. Although Tianmingzi has evil intentions, he is very knowledgeable. If he can send this guy to the Collection Hall, he can make the best use of it. .
Tianmingzi didn't know what Nanfeng was thinking. He thought he was worried about destroying the Yuqing Sect and had trouble sleeping and eating, so he comforted him and said, "Each of the three realms has its subordinates. The gods and immortals are bound by heavenly rules, so they dare not act recklessly." .”
"Since I dare to poke that hornet's nest, I'm not afraid of the wasps stinging me." Nanfeng curled his lips.
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say." Tianmingzi stopped him hastily.
Nanfeng stopped talking and faced the east, waiting for Tianqizi and others to arrive.
The people sent to pick up Tian Qizi were Tian Chengzi and another Ziqi Zhenren. In addition to the three of them, Tian Chengzi was also carrying one person on his back.
"Who is Tian Chengzi carrying?" Naturally, Tian Mingzi didn't know Hou Shulin.
"A friend has the same temperament as you, and you can get closer to him in the future." Nanfeng said with a smile.
Tianmingzi responded but showed disdain.
Nanfeng saw it in his eyes and didn't say much. In fact, there was a difference between Tianmingzi and Hou Shulin. Hou Shulin was a toady who did his best, while Tianmingzi was a smart guy who understood current affairs.
Not long after, Tian Chengzi and others arrived. When they saw Nanfeng, Hou Shulin was relieved. Regardless of who was around, he came up and knelt down to pay homage, and then handed Nanfeng the bell he had been holding in his arms.
Nanfeng gave the bell and the inkstone with the center of Tianqizi sealed to Tianchengzi, and he summoned everyone to perform a method to restore the soul.
All the Taoists of Taiqing Sect were waiting for Tianqi Zi to return. When they learned that he had returned to Taiqing, they all went to visit him.
In fact, Nanfeng had already told Tian Chengzi how to win Hou Shulin's trust when he went to Qingqing Academy. The reason why Hou Shulin followed him was just to show his prudence and loyalty. After handing the bell to Nanfeng, he left wisely. .
There were still many trivial matters to be dealt with, so Nanfeng didn't want to keep him, so he wanted to do something good for him and sent him back. After a second thought, he gave up the idea. There were many ears and eyes around, so it was not suitable to write and give gifts.
So I arranged another job for him. He took off the sachet given by Uncle Wang earlier and asked Hou Shulin to secretly go to Fengming Mountain and tell Uncle Wang and Yuan Anning that he would need to stay here for a few more days, so that they should not worry.
Seeing that Nanfeng still had errands to run for him, Hou Shulin was overjoyed, responded repeatedly, and left in a hurry.
Taiqing Sect has so many purple energy masters, it is easy to return Tianqizi's soul to its original position. Even if half a stick of incense is not enough, Tianqizi can restore his soul and regain his consciousness.
It has been seven years since he was trapped and three years since he lost his mind. When he woke up again, it was as if he had been reborn.
Someone close to him told Tianqizi in a concise and concise manner what had happened over the years, and then brought him to see Nanfeng.
Before meeting Nanfeng, Tianqizi had already learned about Nanfeng's current situation from others, and also knew that Xuanqing Xuanjing and Tianshanzi had committed suicide. After so many years, the two reunited again, so they couldn't help feeling sad.
But Tianqizi was impatient and knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past. After setting the tone with a brief conversation with Nanfeng, he went to Taiqing Hall with a group of Ziqi masters to discuss matters.
The reason why he was so anxious was because he knew that Nanfeng's double cultivation would disappear once Chen hour arrived, and the overall situation must be stabilized before then.
This time Nanfeng was also invited, but refused to take a seat and took the last seat.
The tone set by the two of them before was to seek stability, but now that the culprit has been brought to justice, even if they have the ability to do so, they cannot do so on a large scale, because there are too many Taoists with problems, and many of them are in high positions. It is like a house with many bricks. The tiles are all defective, but they can only be left in place. Once they are all removed, the house will collapse.
Being impatient has the advantage of being impatient, and he is very efficient in doing things. After just half an hour of discussion with everyone, he figured out the general reason for the matter. He then rang the bell to summon the doormen and gathered in the square in front of the main hall. The door of the hall was wide open, and they started to work. Zhenren Ziqi discussed matters in the hall, while the remaining masters and Taoists listened from outside the hall to show fairness and justice.
To say it was fair, in fact it was not very fair, because everyone put all the blame on the dead Xuanqing Xuanjing, and only by putting it on them could the situation be stabilized.
So everyone knew that Xuanqing and Xuanjing were the culprits. As for why the two men murdered Xuan Lingzi, they didn't know. Evil people just do evil. As for why they did evil, few people would explore it.
After finding the culprit, it was then the turn of Xuanqing Xuanjing's party members to repent. To put it bluntly, under the guise of self-reflection, they attributed some of the wrong things they had done to Xuanqing Xuanjing's wrong command.
This kind of thing is just a process. All the Master Ziqi present spoke one after another, reflected on their mistakes, and said that they were wrong, so there was nothing wrong with them.
The last person to speak was Tian Mingzi, who reflected "thoroughly" and deeply, and his final attitude was that he had neglected his duty and made mistakes, and he should take the blame and give in to the good.
According to the wishes of Tianqizi and others, the next step is to rectify Tian Yuanzi's name and grant Taiqing Taoist status to Nanfeng, who is Tian Yuanzi's disciple.
Nanfeng had never spoken before, but now he finally spoke, saying that the matter would be discussed later. It was a troubled time at the moment, and the Taiqing Sect could not be leaderless. The top priority was to ask Tianmingzi to take back his orders and continue to be the head teacher.
When Nanfeng said this, everyone knew that he had no intention of taking over Taiqing. It was not because he wanted to retain Tian Mingzi, but because he delayed the matter of clearing Tian Yuanzi's name until after the Taiqing leader was elected, and did not clear Tian Yuanzi's name. , he does not have Taiqing Taoism, and without Taiqing Taoism, naturally he cannot serve as a leader.
The two of them had talked before, but Tianmingzi didn't dare to say that he was happy even though he was happy. He tried his best to refuse, and his attitude was very "sincere". He just said that he had no face to stay in Taiqing Sect and asked to be expelled from the mountain gate.
Po had almost finished his cultivation, and now it was time to get off the donkey. Previously, Nanfeng had briefly discussed with Tianqizi about the candidate for the headmaster. According to his original intention, he wanted Tianqizi to take over as the headmaster, but Tianqizi refused. The reason is that he has been persecuted before. If he takes over as the leader this time, everyone who had enemies with him before will be in danger. After careful consideration, Tianqizi recommended Tiandezi on the grounds that Tiandezi was a great disciple of Xuanling Zhenren and had high moral standing. The most important thing was that Tiandezi was a supporter of Tianyuanzi from the beginning.
In this way, Tian Dezi was pushed to the forefront. Seeing that he could not refuse, he reluctantly agreed, but made it clear in advance that he would only be in charge of academic affairs temporarily and would not be subject to the enthronement ceremony. He would abdicate in favor of someone more suitable in the future if a more suitable candidate is selected.
Regardless of whether he takes over or is temporarily in charge, Tian Dezi has now become the leader of Taiqing. The first thing he did was to arrange a position for Tian Mingzi. Tian Dezi was originally the director of the collection hall. This time, the two were exchanged. Tianmingzi is in charge of the collection hall.
Even though Tianmingzi had been mentally prepared, he felt uncomfortable at this moment. Seeing his expression as if he was mourning for his heir, Nanfeng spoke again and suggested that Tianmingzi's first-grade Taixuan Talisman should be kept. His direct disciple is still the master of the Taiqing Sect. Teach disciples.
Naturally, no one would refuse his proposal. At this point, the important matter was finalized, and the Taoist priests from each temple returned to the main hall. A group of Master Ziqi still stayed in the hall to discuss the aftermath.
Tell the world, rectify Tian Yuanzi's name, restore his Taoist status, and clear his reputation. At the same time, he also clears Li Luoxue's name. As for why Master Xuan Ling suddenly opposed their marriage back then, outsiders don't need to know.
There is also the question of whether the position of the Protector of the Liang Kingdom will continue to be held by the new headmaster. Most people suggest taking this opportunity to throw away this hot potato. There are also objections, and the reasons for the objections are very good. Taiqing Zong had previously He has always been supported by the court. If he no longer serves the court, the support will naturally be gone. There are so many Taoists in the Taiqing Sect, and their future livelihood will be a problem.
Things related to food, food and clothing were important matters. Nanfeng just listened and did not interrupt. While everyone was talking, he kept pinching the hour. As the hour was approaching, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly dropped sharply, and everything inside was burned. Qi and blood surged, even if he suppressed it forcefully, a mouthful of blood still came out of his throat.
The time-matching ended, and the drawbacks of borrowing the law from Qiankun began to appear...
