Two hundred and forty-eighth chapter intention to take the position and return
Seeing that Jiao Yao had left, the Taoist boy stood there for a while, then took a flying car and walked back. Not long after, he came to a Taoist palace surrounded by clear springs and flowing petals on the sea of Qingqiong Yunhai.
Without any explanation, he went straight in and came all the way to a pavilion by the lotus pond in the back hall, where two Taoists were playing chess.
The Taoist boy stepped forward, waited for Yi Zi to fall, took a moment to step forward, bowed to one of the middle-aged Taoist priests wearing a red Taoist robe, and said: "Master, Jiao Shangzun said that he was assigned by the Shouzheng Palace to do something, so he has no time left. After coming here, the child saw him leaving in a hurry."
Taoist Shen snorted and said, "This old dragon is pretending to be confused."
The Taoist opposite him was wearing a black Taoist robe, with a long beard and a clear face. He said with a smile: "This old dragon made a mistake last time and stuffed his descendants into Shouzheng Palace. Now he has found his descendants." Now that we are on our way, how can we, who have finally managed to win over us, come to our side? It would be better to count on his juniors than to count on this old dragon."
Taoist Shen said: "I just asked the boy to try and ask. It turns out that this old dragon really can't be helped up, that's all..." He waved his sleeves, raised his head and said: "Friend Taoist Tong, we can't ignore this matter. If we let it go, If Shouzheng Palace gathers me and assigns me to do things, how can we practice in peace?"
Taoist Tong stroked his beard and said, "But this is Xuan Ting's intention, and it has passed Xuan Ting's decision. It's not easy to handle."
Shen Taoist said: "Fellow Taoist is only half right. Although this is the decision of Xuan Ting, it only means to expand the main palace and strengthen the defenses of all parties. However, we have not yet decided on the timing of Xuan Zun's entry into the world. The spiritual and mysterious realm located in the world is now tentatively trying to enlighten it, but it has not been achieved in one go, which shows that Xuan Ting is also cautious.
But just imagine, if this matter goes well and continues, then the next step is to force me to join the world. If I say nothing during this, Xuan Ting will think that I have acquiesced, so we must Make a request to Xuan Ting, so that the Qing cultivators of our colleagues will not be disturbed."
Tong Daoren said: "But if we want to talk about this, we must have a leader with enough prestige. Since the old dragon is unwilling, then only Daoyou You and Daoyou Yan can do the talking. "
Taoist Shen said calmly: "The two sides have also sent people to invite you, but Fellow Daoist You is devoted to studying the formation, and Fellow Daoist Yan is even more unwilling to be hostile to others and cannot go out in seclusion. If not for this, I would not have gone to invite that old man. dragon."
Taoist Tong was startled and said: "So Taoist friend also invited these two..." He frowned and said: "This is difficult to handle. Without these few people, our words may not have much weight in Xuanting. "
Taoist Shen said resolutely: "Someone has to do this. If these people don't want to do it, then we will do it! When Tian Xia came to this world, we and all our colleagues all made great contributions. Yes, Xuanting also promised that we can practice in Qingqiong Yunhai for a long time, and only go to war when necessary or to protect Tianxia. Now if the law has been changed, it will not be appropriate."
Taoist Tong tried to ask: "How are fellow Taoists going to solve this matter?"
Taoist Shen was well prepared and said directly: "If the rules are suppressed, no one will be safe. Only by establishing laws and regulations so that Xuanting does not force those of us who are latent cultivators to join the world, can this matter be truly solved."
Taoist Tong was startled and said: "My fellow Taoist, this step has gone a bit far. It is okay to make a proposal, but it is too difficult to establish laws. This, Yu Xuan Ting is doing something wrong."
If Xuanting wants to establish a law to admit this matter, then all the court officials must agree. This is impossible no matter how you think about it. If you do it knowing that it is impossible, aren't you afraid of making all the court officials unhappy?
Taoist Shen's expression did not change at all and he said: "This is not against Xuanting. We are making our own reasonable petition, which is also approved by Xuanting. If we didn't mention it, Xuanting would have thought that he could arrange for me and others at will."
Taoist Tong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It turns out that fellow Taoist just wants to express his attitude to Xuan Ting. If this is not the case, then this is fine, this is fine."
Taoist Shen said: "This matter must be done as soon as possible. I will visit all Taoist friends in the next few days and ask them to support my petition." At this time, he calmly placed a piece on the chessboard and said: "Tong Taoist friend, it's your turn."
Three days later, in the Miaohao Taoist Palace.
Zhong Tingzhi was talking to Chong Tingzhi through the jade bi, and he said: "A few days ago, fellow Daoist Shen came to look for me because of the matter of the true cultivator's entry into the world. I must have also gone to see brother Chong Tingzhi?"
Chong Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "I think they have been in seclusion for too long and have become confused. We have never been the spokesperson of this generation. How can we allow them to comment on the matters decided by the court? Xuan Ting's rituals and regulations are still there. No more?"
Zhong Tingzhi said: "This matter should not be blocked. Since they have filed a petition, they must be given a chance to speak. They have also made contributions to Tianxia. Besides, Daoyou Shen has also been a court official in the past. , even though he has abdicated, he can still say a few words."
Chong Tingzhi disagreed with this and said: "Shen Min is too selfish. Chong always believes that if Tianxia loses in the battle with Shangchentian, this person will probably lead others to go to Shangchentian." There."
Zhong Tingzhi shook his head and said: "Don't judge things that have never happened. The petition itself has no problems, but it should be refuted. There is no conflict between the two. Just tell them our attitude truthfully."
Another day later, in Yunhaidao Palace, Taoist Shen and Taoist Tong also received a reply, stating that this was a decision of the Xuanting and could not be changed.
Taoist Tong sighed: "Xuan Ting rejected it as expected."
Taoist Shen said, "I've already expected it." He threw the reply aside and said to the boy, "Take a few more copies and share them with fellow Taoists to let them know what's going on." result."
The Taoist boy bowed his head, picked up the reply letter and exited.
Taoist Shen smiled. He had been a court official and knew Xuanting, and he also understood these true practitioners in Qingqiong Yunhai.
If you stand up for them, they will not come forward with you. Instead, they will sit back and watch you struggling in front. If you can win something, they will be happy to receive it. But if the shackles of the rules are dropped, They will also come forward to resist, but usually they go their own way without interfering with each other. They are just scattered and unable to gather their strength together.
So what he has to do is how to gather this loose sand together.
He made those suggestions not really expecting Xuan Ting to agree, but just waiting for the reply, which forced everyone into a corner. Because if he didn't come forward to change, it would be a foregone conclusion. This is what he could rely on Opportunity unites people's hearts and gathers strength.
Taoist Tong felt a little unsure at this time. After all, he was a little flustered no matter how much he thought about confronting Xuan Ting.
Taoist Shen glanced at him and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't worry. We are here in accordance with Xuanting's rules and there is nothing extraordinary. Xuanting will not do anything to me."
Taoist Tong said to himself: "You won't take advantage of me, but you, the person in charge, may not take advantage of you..." When he thought of this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Taoist Shen, after hesitating for a moment , asked in a low voice: "Dare you ask Fellow Daoist Shen, do you intend to return to Xuanting?"
Taoist Shen picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, then smiled and said: "I guess my fellow Taoist guessed it." He said leisurely: "As far as I know, the chief executive is about to abdicate, and there must be a vacancy in Xuanting. At this time, if I can lead the crowd in, it will be the general trend and I will be invited to attend again."
Taoist Tong was stunned. He didn't mind this matter. After all, it was always a good thing to have someone in court who was willing to speak for them, but...
He looked at Taoist Shen and said cautiously: "Fellow Taoist, are you willing to fight for benefits for you fellow Taoists?"
Taoist Shen raised his hand and said as if making a promise: "If I join the court because of your support, then I will stand up for you."
In his plan, he will gather everyone when he comes down and issue the petition again. If it can be accepted by Xuanting this time, that would be the best, and it will naturally have more prestige. If it fails, it will also make all the true practitioners realize that if not It is impossible for people to speak for them, so who else is willing to stand up at this time besides him?
Regardless of success or failure, he is still a winner.
In the Shou Zheng Palace, Zhang Yu's clone has been arranging manpower from various places these days, but the few true cultivators who were really willing to come have never come. On the contrary, the manpower on the prison side is just talking to Wu Tingzhi After a few days, people started arriving one after another, and now everything has been arranged.
Then he also received the petition. Xuan Ting did not reject the request from the people below. If the request was reasonable, it would be considered. However, the request this time was too high, so he rejected it as well.
In the past few days, he had also heard some words circulating in the Qianxiuzhen Cultivation Center. Although no one dared to openly accuse Shou Zhenggong, there were inevitably some secret criticisms, saying that if the responsibility of guarding was given to the creation, where would it come from? So many things?
Based on his understanding of true cultivation, he was sure that there was definitely someone behind this who was instigating this matter.
After just a little questioning, I realized that this was a person named Shen Min who was behind it.
He took a look at the list and learned that this person had also served as a court official and had guarded the 13th Shangzhou. Not only that, he was also the Xuanzun who had the credit for the founding of the continent. It's quite big.
However, compared with many of his colleagues at the same time, this person's merits can only be regarded as passable. However, except for those who are still in the court, most of the Xuanzun who has merits in his generation have died. On the contrary, he was seriously injured back then. Therefore, he took the initiative to hand over the position of Tingzhi, but he escaped the most brutal battles.
However, there is evidence that his injuries have actually healed a long time ago, but he has been hiding for a long time. Until now, when all the foreign enemies have been eliminated, he has run out again.
Zhang Yu casually put this person's list aside. Based on this person's past actions and the current situation in the court, he roughly guessed what this person's intention was.
However, how to deal with these matters is not within the authority of Shouzheng Palace, so he will not interfere much as Shouzheng, but when the next court meeting is held, he will intervene as a court official.
