Dedicate One’s Mind

In the prince's residence in the capital, there is a quiet place covered with bamboo trees. It is the place where the prince assigned the white-browed old Taoist to live. In terms of secludedness and comfort, even the prince's own pavilion cannot match this place.

The white-browed old Taoist master entered the golden elixir. This time, he was just feeling the changes in the country's national fortunes and seemed to be on the decline, so he went to the capital at the invitation of the prince to try to smooth the country's situation. He did not bring many powerful men down the mountain, except for the prince who invited him to see him on weekdays. He didn't go out either, but today he received a guest.

"Master Nephew, what's going on today?" The white-browed old Taoist asked while sitting on the futon, thinking about ideas without opening his eyes.

The guest has a pale skin and gray hair, and looks very old. At first glance, he looks much older than the old Taoist with white eyebrows. Although the old Taoist with white eyebrows has no hair and beard, his skin is as smooth as a newborn baby, his face is rosy, and his spirit is different.

But if you look closely, you can feel that there is a vague power in this guest's body, which prevents the body from decaying and aging. He is Bai Yu, the master of the Taoist Temple in the capital, and a half-step golden elixir like Wang Chuchen, who once had unlimited glory. , arrogant to his peers, but he did not survive the Golden Core Tribulation and almost fell. Even the Tao Yun he originally comprehended collapsed, and his strength dropped immeasurably. Otherwise, he would not have been pushed out of the inner gate and put in the capital to be the master of the temple. .

But Bai Yu's talent is indeed enviable. After his original Taoist charm collapsed, he experienced changes in his life and the harsh climate of the world. His arrogance was reduced a lot. He actually re-understood a new Taoist charm and continued to practice all the way. Now he is a half-step golden elixir. , just one final step away.

"Uncle Master, we have found out the power of heaven and earth that swept the whole city before. There should be monks who are responsible for seizing the body." Bai Yu respected the old Taoist Baimei very much and explained every bit of what he discovered in detail. out.

He will never forget the scene when he failed to overcome the tribulation and was rejected by everyone. It was the white-browed old Taoist who left a way for him to survive and promoted him to the Taoist temple in the capital as the temple leader during the sect's discussions. Otherwise, he might not even have the chance to make a comeback now. nor.

The old Taoist Bai-mei nodded lightly and didn't take it to heart. Bai Yu was not surprised to see this. The old Taoist Bai-mei was a big shot at the third level of the golden elixir. He was about to break the elixir and become a baby. Not to mention he was just a monk with no way out who was forced to seize his body. Even Jin Dan's peers may not be able to make any waves in his heart.

The main purpose of meeting the white-browed old man today is not Wu Yi's matter. This is just an excuse to the outside world. The key is the birthday of the king in the next few days, and how to negotiate a palace coup that may involve mutiny. It was solved with a smile. This matter was related to the fate of the country. Even the white-browed old Taoist had to deal with it carefully, otherwise the country would be shaken and public opinion would be fierce. The monk who instigated this matter might not have a good end.

Bai Yu took out a bamboo slip from somewhere. The bamboo slip was green and sparkling, and it looked like something extraordinary at first glance.

The old Taoist Bai Mei opened his eyes at this time, and did not pick it up with his hands. Instead, he saw that his eyes were like torches, shooting a ray of light into the bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips were shaking, as if someone was reading them. After three breaths, the old Taoist Bai Mei breathed out. But with a sharp look in his eyes, he said coldly: "The people in Dongtian are also involved. This is my Ping family's family matter, so my hand is stretched too far."

One Qi family governs the Three Kingdoms, and recruits disciples mainly in these three kingdoms. Dayu Kingdom is just one of them. Among them, the royal families of the three kingdoms are all listed in the Thirty-Six Rich and Prominent Families. Of course, although they are collectively called the Thirty-Six Rich and Prominent Families, there are also some There are twelve great families and twenty-four noble families, and the royal families of the Three Kingdoms are listed among the twenty-four noble families.

This emphasis on birth and surname within the Yiqi Sect has also led some other small families to make many lists later. However, not to mention that they have not been recognized by the public, the families on those small lists have only been prosperous for tens or hundreds of years. , not as good as these thirty-six wealthy and distinguished families, which have been blessed for thousands of years and have endless heirs all over the world, each of them numbering in the millions.

This is the power of an aristocratic family. Opposing the aristocratic family is the master-disciple power. It is divided into five caves and twelve blessed lands. It recruits countless children of poor people with mediocre backgrounds but extraordinary talents, and even children of aristocratic families who have rebelled against the family.

The white-browed old Taoist would not fail to know that the current predicament of Dayu Country will definitely attract the master and apprentice Dongtian lineage to come out to interfere. Even if it can't accomplish anything big, disrupting his arrangements and humiliating his Ping family's face will be a pleasure.

Of course, the most likely possibility is to use this as an exchange to get benefits from the Ping clan. After all, if war breaks out in the country of Dayu, new disciples are recruited from time to time, and the inheritance is disrupted, neither party can afford it, unless it is his Ping clan who will govern the country. The anger of the sky and the resentment of the people made the sect have to stir up troubles to force the Ping family to abdicate, but this was obviously impossible given the popularity of the First Emperor among the people.

The white-browed old Taoist thought about it in a circle and guessed the thoughts of the master-disciple lineage. In fact, this kind of matter was solved in this way in the past. There was nothing to say. It was just that the benefits of the separation had to be carefully considered.

Just when the old Taoist Baimei was thinking about it, a flying sword flew from the outside world to Bai Yu. Bai Yu's consciousness hurriedly passed by it, his expression changed, and he put away the flying sword.

The white-browed Taoist saw the change in Bai Yu's face and asked, "What happened?"

"Uncle Master, the disciple I sent to guard Duo She Taoist returned to write and said that the breaths in the guard's body are fighting, and it seems that Duo She is unstable."

The white-browed old Taoist sneered disdainfully and said, "You are really incompetent."

Knowing that the white-browed old Taoist was laughing at the golden elixir monk who had seized the body, even the younger generation could not suppress it. Generally speaking, the real difficulty in seizing the body was to deal with the sniper attacks from the power of heaven and earth, making the world believe that the original monk was dead. After the body was seized, The people are not the same person, but after hearing the news, Bai Yu had another idea.

"Uncle Master, the disciple who was taken away is called Wu Yi. He was introduced to the mountain gate by Wang Chuchen, the master of Yiqi Taoist Temple in Liucheng. He was very attentive to the teachings."

The white-browed old Taoist's originally upright body leaned down slightly when he heard the words, his expression was as usual, and he asked: "You are talking about Wang Chuchen, the disciple who really wants to be recruited on Lingya."

Bai Yu was afraid to look directly at the white-browed Taoist's hawk-like gaze, but he still nodded firmly and said: "I dare not deceive my uncle. It is indeed Wang Chuchen who was expelled from the inner sect three years ago."

The old Taoist with white eyebrows stroked his white beard and said: "Is this so? I need to be rescued. Take me there without further delay."

Bai Yu was surprised by the sudden move of the old Taoist Baimei. In his mind, he just wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that the old Taoist Baimei would have such a big reaction. He didn't expect it. In his mind, Wu Yi was just a disciple of a Taoist who had lost his power. Hearing that Wang Chuchen might have a glimpse of the secret of the golden elixir, he offered the old Taoist Baimei a favor, so he didn't have much hope that the old Taoist Baimei would go there.

However, the old Taoist Baimei is a monk of the third major level of Jindan, and has access to more inside information of the sect. Three years ago, Lingya Shangzhen was promoted to the cave heaven stage, which is already the pinnacle of this world. He has the strength to open the cave heaven paradise, but Lingya Shangzhen It is really rare to recruit apprentices, and there are not many people who can even sweep under the disciples.

Once I heard that Lingya Shangzhen was enlightened in the cave, I don’t know how many monks in the sect wanted to become the disciple of Lingya Shangzhen. No matter how many masters and disciples there were, in order to calm down the matter, even the head of the Yiqi Sect told Lingya about it. Yashangzhen managed to get a few spots.

But Lingya Shangzhen himself preferred Wang Chuchen as his eldest disciple, but Wang Chuchen was just building a foundation at that time. At that time, even a third-level golden elixir monk like Baimei Laodao didn't know how many people wanted to become Lingya Shangzhen's sect. , it should be noted that they may not be lacking in qualifications, but they do not have many resources in their own cave or family. In order to go further, they are willing to worship the true disciples of Lingya Shang, and this matter is no matter whether they are aristocratic families or masters and disciples. It is all support, and there is even an unknown amount of interest exchange game behind the scenes, because if his children become the disciples of Lingya Shangzhen, it will be easier for them to have good dealings with Lingya Shangzhen in the future, and the help of a Dongtian period is enough to turn the situation around.

With such a group of wolf-like brothers in front of him, Wang Chuchen was not strong enough to convince the crowd, so Wang Chuchen was pushed out of the inner sect and became the leader of the outer sect. But this may not mean that the real protector of Wang Chuchen is on the spiritual cliff. If he still stays in the inner gate, he will be protected by the real protector on the spiritual cliff. However, Wang Chuchen, a small foundation-building cultivator, is still being plotted, because at this time It is the resistance of the entire sect, and even Lingya Shangzhen must deal with it carefully. After all, one must follow the sect's rules if one is born in a sect.

Wang Chuchen cannot enter the golden elixir and is not allowed to return to the inner sect. He is not allowed to become a true disciple on Lingya. This is the real compromise on Lingya. Behind it is the thinking that the strong are respected in the monastic world. Wang Chuchen needs to use his own power. His strength proves that he can become a great disciple.

Seeing this, the other Shangzhen didn't want to interfere too much with Lingya Shangzhen's recruitment of disciples, so they each arranged several well-qualified disciples to join Lingya Shangzhen's sect as registered disciples. They could not officially enter the school until Wang Chuchen became the eldest disciple.

This turmoil is still shaking to this day. After all, Wang Chuchen has not yet become a golden elixir. Wang Chuchen's trip to the outer sect is more like the real experience for him on Lingya, but Wang Chuchen himself may not know it. , after considering his master’s background, he still regards himself as a master and disciple. The master and disciple are happy to see this, but the family lineage will not be revealed. Waiting for Wang Chuchen to find out by himself, he may fall down by then. To his family lineage.

It is a pity that the white-browed old Taoist did not get the opportunity to become a real registered disciple on Lingya. It can be foreseen that once Wang Chuchen enters the golden elixir, those registered disciples will be able to become official disciples as long as they do not commit suicide. The true inheritance of the first generation of Dongzhenren, how impressive What an enviable title.

Even if he doesn't get the true favor from Lingya, it would be good to have a good relationship with Wang Chuchen. The old Taoist Bai Mei who rushed to Wu Yi with the flying magic weapon thought to himself.

Just walking in the air in the capital is casting a concealment spell, which cannot be seen by mortals, but people with the same cultivation level can still see it. Not long after, there is a rainbow light following behind, obviously it is sword escape, no You can get close to them soon.

The white-browed old Taoist secretly hated himself for not asking about this matter earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so hasty and intercepted by his comrades, but he remained expressionless and stopped flying, waiting for his comrades behind him, preparing to persuade this generation to return, not to let them What a great opportunity to share your own merits and save Wang Chuchen's disciples.

I just hope this generation is less well-informed. The old Taoist with white eyebrows held a fly whisk, squeezed the handle tightly, and prayed in his heart.

"Friend Dao Ping, long time no see." The visitor had a crown of flying clouds on his head, wearing a robe of red sun from the mountains and rivers, and the flying sword under his feet appeared with blazing light.

The old Taoist with white eyebrows made a sign and said: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Xie Yi. Why don't you practice in Qingyang Cave and come here to take a rest?"

Xie Yi was not disturbed by the white-browed old Taoist, and asked with a perfunctory hum, "Why are fellow Taoists so anxious? What are you going to do? I wonder if I can help."

The old Taoist with white eyebrows chuckled, pointed at Bai Yu and said: "It's okay. My nephew, Bai Yu, got a Taoist book and invited me to watch and read it. If there is nothing wrong, fellow Taoist, you can go with us."

Xie Yimu said with deep meaning: "It's a coincidence. I heard that there was a murderer in the temple of Senior Nephew Bai Yu who stole the body of a junior monk. I want to bring the villain to justice."

The white-browed old Taoist's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this person already knew about it, so he acted generously and said with a smile: "It turns out that there is such a thing, so let's go together."

Thank you readers for the great appreciation
