Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace, the Taoist temple of Saint Taiqing.

In the courtyard, Xuandu, the only direct disciple of the Human Sect and the first disciple of the Xuan Sect, was concentrating on practicing the way of tranquility and inaction, and his mind was wandering in the void.

Taiqing sits on a cushion, the Tai Chi diagram, the innate treasure, circulates mysterious energy, the Yin and Yang fish are entangled with each other, connecting heaven and earth, evolving the mysteries of heaven, and gaining a glimpse of all things in the world.

One could not sense the slightest aura from Taiqing, as if he had completely merged into the world. He was peaceful and serene, with no expression on his face. However, in his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, there were faint traces of thoughts and thoughts that connected him to an illusory future.

The light on the Tai Chi diagram dissipated, and Taiqing waved his hand casually, and the most precious innate treasure in the ancient world was thrown into the courtyard and covered Xuandu's head.

Taiqing looked towards the west, his brows slightly wrinkled, and after a long time he withdrew his gaze, but did not move, as if nothing had happened, and continued to sit in front of the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir.

The Tai Chi diagram covered his face, blocking the sunlight. Xuan Du woke up from his trance, turned his head to look at his teacher, then turned sideways, placed the Tai Chi diagram under his body, changed to a more comfortable position, and closed his eyes again.

However, just as Xuandu closed his eyes comfortably, he heard a noisy sound in his ears. It was the voice coming from the various branches of the Human Sect.

Although the Human Sect only has one direct disciple, Xuan Du, and its Taoist tradition is much smaller than that of the Chan and Jie sects, there are still many Taoist traditions belonging to the Human Sect that continue in the world.

Most of them were founded by registered disciples who had heard the teachings of the Taiqing Saint and inherited the teachings of the Taiqing Saint. They practiced the Taiqing method and respected the Taiqing Saint as their ancestor, and they are naturally a lineage of human teachings.

Saint Taiqing never talked about Taoist affairs, so Xuandu, his only direct disciple, became the real person in charge. Although Xuandu also followed his own way of tranquility and inaction in the inheritance of the Taoist tradition, he hardly interfered.

But whether they interfere or not, at least there is someone in charge, which can make the sect feel more at ease.

Xuan Du opened his eyes helplessly and yawned. All he could hear were reports from the various sect leaders. The person being reported to was clearly his teacher. He would naturally hear something praising the saint's name.

Looking at his unmoved teacher, Xuandu's eyes were filled with resentment. By chanting his teacher's name, all the cause and effect were transferred to him, disturbing his peace.

Moreover, since this was specifically transferred to him by the teacher, with his level of cultivation, he was unable to conceal it.

"The Western religion wants to expand its orthodoxy? To preach and establish a sect in the East? Just preach it, it's not a big deal. Everyone can practice their own thing. Why bother about so many things?" Xuan Du muttered, not caring at all.

If you are willing to join my teachings and practice cultivation, then you can join if you have the affinity. If you are not willing, forget it and go to another sect to practice cultivation. You cannot force it.

When it comes to preaching and establishing a religion, the Human Sect has always been the least active compared to the Orthodox Sect and the Unorthodox Sect, and is mostly composed of idle wandering people.

"go."

But this time, Taiqing actually gave Xuandu instructions, which made Xuandu stunned. The teacher who never cared about the affairs of Taoism actually asked him to intervene this time?

But it's just a word, what's the point? How to deal with it specifically, please give me more suggestions.

"Disciple accepts the order."

Seeing that his teacher had no intention of speaking anymore, Xuan Du had no choice but to respond. Without standing up, he patted the Tai Chi diagram under him, then floated out of the Bajing Palace and left Shouyang Mountain.

"Teacher actually cares about this matter. It's definitely not just about preaching."

Xuan Du sighed, it was hard to find peace and quiet, this path was indeed not easy to walk, there were always trivial matters preventing him from attaining enlightenment and practicing.

……

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace, Yuqing listened to the report of the disciples below without saying a word. His eyes were deep and he swept over each of the disciples with a calm expression.

The disciples below all looked solemn, waiting for the teacher's decision.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is just a trivial matter, just some disputes and conflicts among lower-level sects. It is really not worth making such a fuss, and it is not yet time for their Yuxu Palace to intervene.

They have been preaching in the Xuanmen sect for such a long time, how can Western religions shake their foundation?

How easy is it for Western religions to snatch fortune from them?

In addition, Western religions are just miscellaneous ones that cannot be accepted by their orthodox teachings. There are very few people with real blessings and fortune, so the conflict with them is not that great.

In particular, the Western religion seems to only care about the number of disciples, and it seems to be so hungry that it will eat anything. There is no qualification threshold at all, and even many creatures who do not have the qualifications to practice are included in the Taoist tradition. On the contrary, it rarely competes with the major immortal sects of the Xuanmen for geniuses with excellent qualifications to practice. Isn't it because it is afraid of the three religions?

Such a sect, no matter how many disciples it has, they are all a motley crowd and it is difficult for anyone to have truly great supernatural powers. It will not increase the strength of the Western religion and poses no threat.

This is the great way of Western religion, which is different from their three Xuanmen religions.

In the eyes of all the disciples, the Western religion's move was nothing more than snatching luck, but it could not shake the foundation of luck of the three Xuanmen religions, and the impact was not great.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, what do you think about this matter?" Yuqing turned his gaze to Daoist Ran Deng standing beside him and asked.

Taoist Burning Lamp remained calm, frowned and thought for a moment, then spoke carefully: "I think that the purpose of the Western Religion's move is to increase its followers. Now Xiniu Hezhou is already full of their followers, and the great way of the Western Religion emphasizes the thoughts of living beings, forming the way of faith and gathering the power of faith. Even if they are just mortals, they can still provide them with the power of faith. They no longer have room for improvement in Xiniu Hezhou, and the East is vast, with endless lives. The practice of the three religions of the Xuanmen is not the same, and there is not much direct conflict with us, so they are eyeing the East."

"Fellow Daoist, do you think we don't need to care about this matter?"

The Burning Lamp Taoist felt nervous, but he remained calm on the surface. He shook his head and said, "Of course not. The Western Sect acted this way without discussing it with us Xuanmen. It seems that they don't take us seriously. How can we just let them do it?"

Yuqing nodded: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Of course we have to stop them and discuss this matter with the Western Church, so that the Western Church can control its disciples. However, I think that the conflict and dispute between the two sides must be properly controlled. It is not appropriate to have a direct conflict and disrupt the order of the world."

Yuqing neither nodded nor objected, and there was nothing wrong with Master Ran Deng's response.

If a war breaks out among the saints and great sects, it will be a catastrophe for the whole world.

However, the conflicts and contradictions between these saints and major religions cannot be avoided at all.

"Then why don't you let fellow Taoist take charge of the negotiation with the Western Church?"

Taoist Ran Deng was stunned. He looked at Yu Qing and saw nothing unusual. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Ran Deng will definitely live up to the trust of the master."
