Chapter 105

Chiming Sect.

Lutai Mountain.

Its power suppresses the vast ocean, and its prestige overlooks the Jade Sea.

In this great mountain that is like the root of the earth vein, majestic and vast, reaching deep into the void wind and clouds, two people are sitting leisurely playing chess on the peak.

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist is wearing a nine-colored Li Luo robe, wearing a Seven-Reflection Hui Chen crown, wearing a God-Capturing pendant, wearing Yellow Sun boots, with a golden face and a round light on his neck.

As his sleeves fluttered in the wind, his qi machine leaked slightly, and it also rumbled and illuminated the essence of the sun, moon, and stars, with light flowing and scenery, hidden and unpredictable, like a heavenly river waterfall entering and exiting, covering hundreds of mountains and thousands of rivers!

Although it is hidden and not released now, it also gives people a terrifying perception that it seems to be able to cover the sky and earth, shake the celestial phenomena and winds and clouds for tens of thousands of miles, and smash everything into pieces and collapse!

If it were intentionally targeted, ordinary Immortal Dao True Persons would not be able to maintain their composure in front of him, would show a sweating appearance, lose their usual demeanor, and be greatly out of composure.

Behind the long-eyebrowed old Daoist, there are six golden boys, surrounding him, assisting him in holding the talisman, holding treasures and burning incense.

"Forming the core? That Wei Lingjiang is just a true disciple, not a Daoist. Does such a small matter also need to trouble you, Great True Person Long-Eyebrow?"

The person playing chess with the long-eyebrowed old Daoist is just a vague figure, unable to see the eyebrows and face clearly, only from that gentle voice can it be distinguished that this is a woman.

Hearing the long-eyebrowed old Daoist deliberately using words to ask, she stopped her hand holding the chess piece, and said indifferently:

"What benefits did that Zhu Jing give you to pull you to her side? And having you, this Great True Person, is still not enough, actually hitting the idea on me, this idle person in the mountains? I was still wondering why Chen Chen Shidi invited me to play chess today, it turns out it's not with good intentions."

"Senior Sister Shang, you overstate, you overstate!"

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist heard the undisguised mockery in these words, hurriedly stood up and bowed to plead guilty, shaking his head incessantly:

"Senior Sister's kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain, the whole Fajhang lineage is grateful and never forgets it for a moment, Senior Sister Shang—"

"Alright! Don't talk nonsense!"

That Senior Sister Shang interrupted him impatiently with a cold laugh: "My father has already fallen in the Dharma Saint Heaven, and I am no longer the daughter of the Sect Master. Let's say less of the unnecessary polite words! I feel disgusted when I hear them!

I thought you had gone crazy in the past few months, giving away blessed lands, giving away talisman books, and even willing to give away that Bai Shui Taiyi land that you have managed for nearly a thousand years, placing it under my name. It turns out you were hitting this kind of idea, heh!"

"Senior Sister—"

"You and Zhu Jing want to support that Wei Lingjiang to be the Daoist, right?"

Senior Sister Shang looked at the long-eyebrowed old Daoist coldly and said.

Under her gaze, the long-eyebrowed old Daoist was defeated after a few breaths of silence, laughed bitterly, and nodded.

"So you came to burn this cold stove of mine. It's a pity that I have resigned from the position of Palace Master of Zhuoguang, and my authority in the sect is not as good as it used to be. I'm afraid your and Zhu Jing's intentions will fall into the void."

Senior Sister Shang said indifferently.

——

The Chiming Sect has five palaces and seven views, which manage the affairs of the sect, and the seven views are under the jurisdiction of the five palaces, and must obey orders.

Therefore, the status of the Palace Master of the five palaces is extremely high and respected, only under the Sect Master of the Chiming Sect, and above all elders and disciples, which is very transcendent.

Even normal changes in power and position require the handwritten decree of the Daoist Lord in the sect, and even the Sect Master of the Chiming Sect has no right to dismiss the Palace Master of the five palaces at will, otherwise, he will be criticized and lose popularity.

However, after the previous Sect Master of the Chiming Sect sat down in the Dharma Saint Heaven, the sect was very turbulent, causing a big storm, and it was only after the Daoist Lord Tai Wen Miao Cheng personally took action to suppress it that the turbulent situation was stabilized.

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist knew that although his Senior Sister Shang was defeated in that storm and had to resign from the position of Palace Master of Zhuoguang to the Daoist Lord Tai Wen Miao Cheng, she only held a free and idle position in the sect.

But after all, she is the only daughter of the previous Sect Master. Not to mention her prominent background, just the incense legacy left by the previous Sect Master before his death is enough to make everyone in the sect respect her by three points.

Cultivation path: Dharma, companion, land, wealth.

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist thought to himself, if it weren't for this Senior Sister Shang, after her biological father sat down, being anxious and angry, ignoring the persuasion of the elders, and without the decree of the Sect Master, she raised troops and privately raided the Dharma Saint Heaven.

In the end, she suffered heavy losses, and even implicated several elders and true disciples to die miserably.

With the prestige of the previous Sect Master.

Even if she wanted to lose the decree of the Palace Master of Zhuoguang, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy...

Among the eight sects and six schools, ordinary elders and disciples are fine.

But every true disciple is the true heart and blood of each sect, and it takes great effort to get one. They are the pillars of the sect in the future and are powerful candidates who can compete for the position of Daoist.

Losing one can almost be counted as a disaster!

For example, the Xudu Heaven and the Buddhist Sect's Wu Liuli Heaven, the two have been fighting openly and secretly for ten thousand years, and I don't know how many giant Dao soldiers, puppets, and Vajra warriors have died, and their bones are enough to fill a world.

But because a newly promoted Great Bodhisattva didn't understand the rules, or perhaps was provoked into anger, he indulged the protectors under his command to abuse and kill several true disciples of the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect who participated in the war, and even sent a letter to the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect's main sect.

This move even provoked the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect's Daoist Lord Shenwu Shuhua to take action personally, kill the newly promoted Great Bodhisattva, and break the Zen Gate Pure Land where he lived.

He seized all the hidden classics, captured two million peacock monk soldiers, offered captives to the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect's mountain gate, and invited the eight sects and six schools to come and watch the ceremony.

Just because of the lives of a few true disciples, the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect even had to fight with half of the Wu Liuli Heaven until real fire, forming an enmity.

And before this.

No matter how the two sides fought.

The 【Danyuan Assembly】 of Xudu Heaven always had several Bodhisattvas and Great Scholars bringing disciples to watch the ceremony;

The 【Wuai Assembly】 of the Wu Liuli Heaven side also had Daoist Lords of the Xuan and Demon sides who would spare time to be guests in the Pure Land.

But after that captive offering ceremony of the Zhongtian Dou Shu Sect, except for a few demon sects like the Xiantian Demon Sect that still had some entanglement with the Wu Liuli Heaven, the entire Xuanmen Eight Sects almost cut off communication with that Buddhist heaven.

The Dharma assemblies of the two sides naturally would no longer send envoys to watch the ceremony...

The miserable event of his Senior Sister Shang raiding the Dharma Saint Heaven and failing, and also causing the death of several true disciples.

If it weren't for her father being the previous Sect Master, and still leaving some shade in the sect, letting many elders come to the Daoist Lord to plead for mercy.

I'm afraid it wouldn't be just a punishment of dismissal.

That could be finished...

And when the long-eyebrowed old Daoist's mind was turning, wanting to propose some conditions to exchange for her help, Senior Sister Shang suddenly smiled and said.

"The name of the Daoist, who does the Daoist Lord intend it to be?"

She asked.

"Daoist Lord? Which Daoist Lord is Senior Sister talking about..."

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head with a bitter smile.

Among the three Daoist Lords of the Chiming Sect, the Daoist Lord Tai Wen Miao Cheng has always had an ambiguous attitude, and doesn't like to manage proper affairs, only likes to have fun, and takes that square Lingming Jin Xia Seal everywhere to watch the fun and bestow good fate.

The last time he saw this Daoist Lord rarely serious, it was when the previous Sect Master sat down in the Dharma Saint Heaven, and the various factions in the sect were turbulent.

At other times, it was rare to see him have a serious form, letting himself go, and his handling of affairs was extremely absurd.

Not only the long-eyebrowed old Daoist, but even the Palace Masters of the five palaces had been teased by him several times, ending up with a gray-faced end, just because this Daoist Lord wanted to relieve boredom and just to have a laugh.

This speech naturally could not be said to his face, the long-eyebrowed old Daoist only dared to slander in his heart.

And except for the Daoist Lord Tai Wen Miao Cheng, the remaining two are dragons seeing the head but not the tail, or revealing a claw and a scale in the clouds, and have not heard any practical news for thousands of years.

Those two only have the hope of supreme long-life immortality in their hearts, only seeking to pick a Heavenly Immortal Dao fruit, and they are indifferent to the remaining miscellaneous affairs of the sect.

Even such a major event in the sect as establishing a Daoist, they have not expressed any attitude.

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist speculated that perhaps only when the Chiming Sect reached the point of life and death would these two be willing to reveal their true forms...

"Those two ancestors have been wandering outside the universe for a long time, and have long lost contact. As for the ancestor Tai Wen Miao Cheng..."

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist had a headache, carefully considering his words, almost every word was considered before speaking:

"The supreme intention of the ancestor, how can it be something that we juniors can speculate about at will? Senior Sister is probably joking."

"Sima Fang, Xie Tan, Zuo Peng Zong, Song Lun, Yin E'qi, Guo Daijun..."

Seeing the long-eyebrowed old Daoist speaking cautiously, Senior Sister Shang tapped the chessboard with her fingers and said indifferently:

"Except for that Wei Lingjiang, the people above are all wanting to compete for the position of Daoist. You say, who should I promise?"

"Have these people all come to seek Senior Sister?" The long-eyebrowed old Daoist's face changed.

Senior Sister Shang smiled without saying a word.

"Wei Lingjiang, her talent is not something those people can compare to, she..."

"Chen Chen Shidi Long-Eyebrow, you are joking again. They are all true disciples in the sect, Sima Fang and Xie Tan can't be much worse than her. Furthermore, Wei Lingjiang has a father-killing enmity with the current head of the Sanye Wei family, and they are very disharmonious."

Senior Sister Shang shook her head: "Although the twelve great families are just dead bones in the grave now and will be swept away sooner or later, I don't want to become an enemy of the head of a great family for no reason."

"If I promise your request and help that Wei Lingjiang..."

Senior Sister Shang sighed deliberately: "Wouldn't I be opposing the Sanye Wei family?"

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist's eyes sank slightly.

For elders of great sects like them, especially those who have held real power in the sect, how could they have such fear of the twelve great families?

Although his Senior Sister said it very solemnly on the surface, her inner thoughts were just sitting on the ground and raising the price!

"Are so many blessed lands and talisman books still not enough to fill your appetite? The old man has even sent out the land of 'Bai Shui Taiyi', is it still not enough?! Do you really think your father is still alive?"

Although he couldn't help but want to scold in his heart. The long-eyebrowed old Daoist still didn't show it on his face, just bowed and smiled:

"Forgive Chen Chen Shidi for being presumptuous, I don't know which senior brother Sima Fang and Xie Tan invited to speak to Senior Sister, and what are the conditions?"

After Senior Sister Shang said a series of words indifferently, the long-eyebrowed old Daoist's face suddenly became a bit gloomy.

After hesitating for several turns, he finally made up his mind and added another bet.

The two sides continued to finalize a few details, and after another half an hour of back and forth, they finally reached an agreement.

"Senior Sister Shang, thank you for your trouble. After Lingjiang ascends to the great position, today's kindness will definitely not be forgotten!"

At this time, the long-eyebrowed old Daoist's face hung with a smile again, and he bowed sincerely to thank her.

"We are all one family from now on, why distinguish between you and me."

Senior Sister Shang's voice also slowed down a lot, as if she was extremely satisfied with the terms promised by the long-eyebrowed old Daoist just now, and she also rarely smiled and said:

"However, the candidate for Daoist concerns the sect's ten-thousand-year plan, it's not a matter of one morning or one evening, it can't be sought in a hurry, we still need to plan from the long term...

Furthermore, people like Sima Fang, Xie Tan, Yin E'qi, etc., also have people supporting them behind them, Chen Chen Shidi and Zhu Jing must not be impatient for a moment and ruin the good things in the future."

At the end, Senior Sister Shang warned again.

"How dare I, how dare I."

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist waved his hands repeatedly.

The two then chatted for a while, talking about some strange stories and the scenery of the sect in the past, because they could be considered to be on the same side, this time, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

And before bowing to say goodbye.

Senior Sister Shang seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and asked one more question:

"I heard that Wei Lingjiang is currently in the Southern Region, and has actually fallen in love with a wild Daoist in the secular world. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"This..."

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist heard this, and suddenly showed a very embarrassed look on his face, answering was not right, and not answering was not right.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to brush it off, Senior Sister Shang spoke again:

"And that wild Daoist seems to be the descendant of the Yushu True Person, Chen Yushu, this is interesting—"

"Where did Senior Sister hear this?"

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist interrupted in a deep voice.

"Where I heard it is unimportant, I have my own considerations. Chen Chen Shidi, love between men and women is human nature, logically speaking, this is not something I should gossip about... but Junior Sister Zhou of the Chisong Palace is different, what she cultivates is the Supreme Heartless Dao, but she may not be able to tolerate this grain of sand."

Senior Sister Shang said meaningfully:

"If Wei Lingjiang really delays her cultivation because of love between men and women, even if I plead for her, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the help of the Chisong Palace where she is. You just said she is about to form the core? Then let her refine the three treasures in the cave heaven!

If she can form a first-grade core, the opposition in the five palaces and seven views to her becoming the Daoist will also be much less."

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist's heart tightened, and he wanted to say something more.

Senior Sister Shang's figure had already dispersed, leaving this peak, not knowing where she went.

Mountain wind swept, clouds like tide.

I don't know how long it took, the long-eyebrowed old Daoist sighed faintly and shook his head.

"Now that the Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon has been removed, it has barely repaid the majority of the kindness of the Ai family's gift of Dharma. According to the operation of the heavenly secrets spoken by the Daoist Lord, that Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon should have become a small harm to the Ai family three hundred years later, Mu Yuan—"

Behind the long-eyebrowed old Daoist, a plump boy holding a treasure fan bowed to the ground, respectfully listening to the order.

"Take the box of Hunyuan beads I got the year before last, go to the Shangyu Ai family, and by the way, explain the matter of the Evil-Resentment Yin-Victory Demon clearly, and let that group of fools give up their thoughts as soon as possible! Do they really think that by relying on the kindness of the past gift of Dharma, they can interfere with the Dao path of our sect's true disciple? Foolish!"

The boy named Mu Yuan answered yes, drove a green cloud, and bowed away.

"Great Master, that matter of Senior Sister Wei and Chen Hang..."

Seeing the long-eyebrowed old Daoist's brows still tightly locked, a bold boy couldn't help but ask.

"What love between men and women? Wait until she forms a first-grade core before talking about it!"

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist said impatiently, his eyes sinking:

"So many people are running around and working for her, at this time, how can she retreat? And how can she retreat! In the Sanye Wei family, she still has a father-killing enmity that has not been avenged!

If she doesn't become a Daoist, how can she dominate a state, and how can she avenge her father?!"

After finishing, the long-eyebrowed old Daoist sighed again:

"But for this matter, fortunately, the old Daoist doesn't have to be a villain, offending her..."

"What does the Great Master mean?"

The boy was puzzled.

"Senior Sister Zhu Jing has long been waiting in the Daojun Fu Yu Lake of the Southern Region, silly boy, don't you know yet? With her there, the old Daoist is happy to be idle, and will save a lot of tongue that offends people."

The long-eyebrowed old Daoist laughed:

"Being able to persuade Senior Sister Shang to join, this time it's done! I heard that Chen Chen Shidi Yin of the Yuchen Sect spent eight hundred years to brew a pot of Fire-Host Immortal Liquid, which is an excellent wine, I am just about to go and disturb him, go! Go!"

After finishing, his figure disappeared from the peak in an instant.

Mist brushed past.

There was only emptiness left in place.

And at the same time.

Southern Region, Daojun Fu Yu Lake.

Wei Lingjiang gently put down the teacup, smiled, and her eyebrows were slightly stained with a bit of joy.
