"It has been more than half a month since you returned to the clan, junior brother. Not much information has flowed in from the outside world. It takes more than seven days to deliver documents from Xianyang to here. However..., if we talk about the major events in the Xia Dynasty, they are not obvious."
"There are a lot of small things, such as the Chu State, where the new King of Chu is in tit-for-tat with the powerful clans such as Qu, Zhao, Jing, etc.; such as the Nan County, where the Qin forces are gathering at the Dongting Lake; Oh, there is also Yingchuan County, although it is relatively far away from Ba County.
, but I still know the news that Qin General Wang Benyu wants to put an end to the chaos before winter."
"Listening to the disciples' chat, it seems that they have already taken action, but I'm not sure what the specifics are."
Chisongzi nodded in response. As the head of the Tianzong, he would receive a lot of information from the outside world every day. Although the Tianzong was aloof from the outside world, he was not someone who practiced hard in the mountains and was ignorant of foreign affairs.
By understanding all things, when the disciples leave the sect and travel in the future, they will be able to understand a little more, so that they will not be unclear about everything. At present, in the Xia Dynasty, since the Qin State destroyed Zhao, there have been no major events.
Just a few little things here and there.
In the Kingdom of Chu, the King of Chu wanted to issue an order to transfer the ancestral legacy to each of Shi Ji's children so that they could all enjoy noble treatment. This move was naturally recognized by most of the children of the aristocratic families.
However... for a truly top-level family, this is not the case. As expected, the legacy will be left on every disciple. For those disciples, it is a good thing, but for the big family, it is undoubtedly a great weakening.
By weakening the power of the great families and concentrating the power of the Chu State in Shouchun, with the general trend in hand, the King of Chu can further rectify the Chu State. If he is successful, he may not be able to compete with the Qin State.
Let's see how long it takes the King of Chu to accomplish this. With the support of Chu State's Great Sima and Shangzhu State Xiang Yan, it may not be impossible. I'm afraid Qin State won't give Chu State that kind of time.
Nanjun has recently gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, stationed on the bank of Dongting Lake. No one is allowed to enter or exit within a radius of dozens of miles, and only a large amount of labor and wood are transported there every day.
Rumor has it that the Qin State wants to build a large number of ships in preparation for attacking the Chu State in the future!
Also...it's not impossible.
In Yingchuan County, winter is still about half a month away. If Qin General Wang Ben does not make any move, what is waiting for him is the death certificate from Xianyang. In recent days, he has already made moves.
"In the land of the Three Jins, South Korea and Zhao will no longer exist. Qin's generals will change rivers, Julu, and Yingchuan. Tomorrow... there will be big moves."
"Senior brother, it is inevitable that war will continue in the Central Plains. Here in Tianzong... there may be many people coming, so you have to worry."
Zhou Qing also smiled when he heard this. Nothing major happened. He was still curious about what happened in Yingchuan County, and he still believed in Wang Ben.
It just depends on what clever plan he is planning to come up with.
Stepping into the Morning Cultivation Valley, the place is closed today, but it is quiet, and spiritual awareness is spreading. All Tianzong disciples are practicing outside the Morning Cultivation Valley, inhaling the vitality of heaven and earth, improving their cultivation, and realizing the wonderful nature.
The situation is as stable as ever for the time being, but that may not be the case next year.
"Junior brother, senior brother knows this well."
"When you came down from the mountain, there were only about a hundred disciples of Tianzong, and now there are only two hundred. If the number continues to increase, it will only make this place a mess."
"I mean... starting from next year, no one without outstanding talent can enter the Tianzong. In any case, the Tianzong is in the Qin State after all. As long as there is no big chaos in the Qin State, it is only a matter of time before the world is in a state of affairs."
As for his junior brother's intention, Chi Songzi naturally understood that next year the Qin State's big move would begin, and all the Xia would be plunged into a period of war and attack, with the people scattered and fleeing to various parts of the Xia.
Some deep mountains that are difficult for the government to reach are often targeted. If there are hundreds of families, it is even better to temporarily enter them to wait for the Xia to be stable and return to peace after a few years.
In the past one or two years, many of the disciples who have become disciples of Tianzong have come to the areas of Old Korea and the Central Plains. Their qualifications are average, and what they want is a place of stability. As for cultivation, they don't care about it.
In addition, the junior brother is now the Chehou of the Qin State, with a high and powerful position. Tianzong has been unknowingly influenced by it, and it is quite possible that some people with different intentions want to seek to avoid disaster.
Instead of doing this, it is better to cut off those troubles directly. Unless the people are truly extremely talented, Tianzong will no longer accept them, not only for the sake of Tianzong's own inheritance, but also for the sake of Tianzong's own stability.
For hundreds of years in the Xia Dynasty, Tianzong has always been independent of the world. This was the case before and will be the same in the future, because some people have caused Tianzong to get into trouble, which is unreasonable.
"That's fine..."
"Actually, Xuan Qing feels that the Taoists of our Heavenly Sect may not be unable to make some changes. For thousands of years, among hundreds of schools of thought, the two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man, have been competing against each other. But in fact, the concepts of the two sects of Heaven and Man can complement each other and compete with each other.
, it’s just to prove the truth.”
"Look... Confucianism in Qilu. At the beginning, Confucius could only have seventy-two disciples. Now it has spread all over the Xia. Although Taoists... do not want to compete with them, but... the principles of the founder are not weaker than Confucius.
.”
Since the senior brother has already thought of this, Zhou Qing has nothing to worry about, but this move feels a bit like giving up eating because of choking. People with extremely high talents have convenience before entering the Xuan Pass realm.
But... those with ordinary qualifications may not necessarily have to accumulate a lot. The Patriarch is the best example. Once he has a sudden enlightenment, he can integrate with all things.
It would be a pity to block that group of people directly from Tianzong.
"Junior brother, what do you mean...?"
Chisongzi was surprised and didn't quite understand what his junior brother meant.
Not far away, a girl in green clothes was holding a bamboo slip, stepping on the stone wall of the valley in front of her. She tried her best to sense the Taoist rhyme left by her senior brother, and thought that she had gained it. A mysterious green light shone all over her body, and was filled with mist.
"I think... if Tianzong wants to truly transcend the world and extend the inheritance of Taoists to the ancient times, a large number of disciples must appear in Zhuxia. Not to be compared with Confucianism, at least there are mountains everywhere in Zhuxia
There are many places in the great rivers that can serve as the foundation for Taoists."
"Like the group of elders in Back Mountain, they are the same wherever they practice Qing Dynasty. Here in Tianzong, there are only a gathering of Taoists, but there are more ways to seek. Therefore, Xuan Qing thinks that it would be great if there are practitioners in the sect in the future.
After enlightening the profound entrance, one should be allowed to leave the sect on his own and establish a place where those who open the way can be crowned.”
"Spread a principle and leave a foundation. This is what Yang Zhu did a hundred years ago!"
In Zhuxia, there are only two sects of Taoism, heaven and man, competing to discuss Taoism. After all, some of them are not obvious. For Taoists, it is not enough. For hundreds of years, Taoism's sages have emerged in large numbers, and one by one they have masterfully understood the profound pass.
There are many ways to teach.
Zhou Qing felt that it was the influence of the great conflict between the Xia Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty. In the age of great conflict, hundreds of schools of thought were involved, and their principles actually belonged to the same lineage of Taoists. They originated from the same path. In Jixia Academy, Taoists
Even if we talk about Wuji, there are many people who have wonderful enlightenment.
During those years, outstanding figures appeared in hundreds of schools. Before Zhuang Zhou, Yang Zhu was the most famous among Taoists. Although his principles seemed to be extremely weak, in fact, he was also a Taoist. When he reached the level of Taoism, he was already in chaos.
It's a pity that for more than a hundred years, no one has carried forward the Taoists left by Yang Zhu, but Cang Gu is somewhat interesting.
Nowadays... the great Qin Dynasty is in a state of affairs, and it is no longer possible to reproduce the grand situation of hundreds of schools of thought, even if they are competing for each other. So, the only way is to seek a breakthrough in internal strength, separate the Taoist inheritance from Tianzong, and establish it within the Xia.
Although Qin's laws are strict, they are nothing to Taoists.
"The disciples of Yun Tian Sect's Miao Wu Xuanguan leave the sect and open up a place where Taoists can crown themselves?"
"But... As a result, Tianzong here is much weaker, and there are not enough strong people to take charge. The precious things in the Jing Pavilion, junior brother, should know that the world is greedy!"
Hearing his junior brother's careful words, Chi Songzi frowned slightly, and understood what his junior brother meant, which was to let the inheritance of the Tianzong Taoists be divided among all the Xia, so that it could be extended even more.
If a group of people stand together, if something unexpected happens, they are all likely to suffer. If the people are scattered, the results will be completely different, but... in that case, Tianzong will be much weaker here.
What's more, ordinary people are very greedy. There are many precious classics in Tianzong. For example, the notes left by the junior brother this time are all extremely valuable. Without enough strong people to guard them, it will be difficult to preserve them.
