Rushing to the Western Region to molest the Great Asura was just a life adjustment for the Gu God's clone. The so-called apology was just asking Meng Nan for some things from the location stage. After checking that there were no problems, they were handed over to Zhao Heng for processing.
What he has to deal with next is the real big thing.
The abbot of Shaolin, third on the Heavenly List, and Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon, Kong Wen, suddenly disappeared.
This news was quite explosive. Not only Shaolin, but also all the forces in the Southern Jin Dynasty expressed strong concern about it.
In fact, the matter itself is not complicated. It is just that Abbot Kongwen fought with the magician Han Guang many years ago, but he was trapped by the evil heretics.
If you're trapped, just be trapped. Han Guang actually found a way to pretend to be Kong Wen and stayed in Shaolin for more than ten years.
In order to resolve the conflict between his Tianming Clan basic skills and the "Jade Book of the Heavenly Emperor" he later obtained, he wanted to ask for Buddhist teachings. Otherwise, one is the Heavenly Emperor's skills, and the other is from Jiuyou, and he wants to destroy the sky. If things go on like this, there is no guarantee that he will not
Become another Gao Lan.
But Chi Yao had no such need. After replacing Han Guang, he had no intention of continuing to play Kongwen and simply gave up the vest.
Once you give up, problems arise.
Over the years, although Han Guang has been playing time management and seems to have taken a lot of shots, he actually stayed in Shaolin most of the time.
As soon as Chi Yao let go, Kong Wen's absence was quickly discovered.
Shaolin originally wanted to keep it secret, but Han Guang mixed a lot of sand into Shaolin when he was the abbot. What evil spies and demon undercovers have turned Shaolin into a sieve, how can it be hidden?
So the news became public.
In addition to the Shaolin Temple itself, many sects in the Southern Jin Dynasty were the most worried about Kongwen's whereabouts because they had related interests.
As mentioned before, whether it is the Southern Jin Dynasty or the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all these dynasties, including the grassland, are in a pattern where aristocratic families and clans check and balance each other and compete for interests.
Whichever side is stronger, they will be able to occupy more interests and cultivate more and stronger disciples.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty has always been in the mode of sects suppressing aristocratic families. Therefore, those aristocratic families often kowtowed to the people of the sect and served the dynasty on the surface. In fact, they succumbed to the interests of the sect, causing the court affairs to be hampered everywhere.
The Southern Jin Dynasty was a little better. The sects and the aristocratic families were evenly matched. Each had a Dharmakaya in charge. Even if there was an additional Spark Master later, Chi Yao's attributes were half of the sect and half of the royal family, which did not break the balance.
But things are different now.
The sect's Optimus Prime Kong Wen disappeared, and the aristocratic family, although the Zhao family also suffered heavy losses, losing a half-step dharma body and a lot of power, and also separated from other aristocratic families, but it can't be compared with the loss of a dharma body.
?
Not long after the news came out, the Spark Sect received messages from many sects including Xuantian Sect, Zhenwu Sect, Dajiang Clan, etc., saying that they had important matters to discuss.
Let's discuss it. Chi Yao didn't refuse, but because there were so many people invited, he picked a time and gathered everyone together.
Southern Wasteland, Valley of Eternal Life.
Looking at the many sect leaders in front of him, Chi Yao sighed: "We haven't gotten together for a while. I remember the last time was in Shaolin..."
"I can't believe that the disappearance of Abbot Kong Wen this time has something to do with the myths and miracles!"
Taoist Xuantian Shoujing made no secret of his hostility towards these two organizations.
The head of the Huanhua Sword Sect brought the topic back: "Although today's gathering is due to Abbot Kongwen, it is not to discuss his affairs. Leader Chi, Abbot Kongwen has always been a member of many of our sects.
The representative is the backbone of our efforts to fight for our rights and interests from the imperial court. Now that Kong heard that the holy monk is missing, I am afraid that the imperial court will take the opportunity to attack us!"
Chi Yao asked doubtfully: "Su Wuming in the Xijian Pavilion may break through the Dharmakaya at any time. Maybe the imperial court will not be so unwise?"
The representative sent by Xijiang Pavilion this time was not Su Wuming, saying that he was still in retreat.
Ever since he received the sword Daozhuanhuanyu, he has been in seclusion, and he is afraid that the day he comes out of seclusion will shock the world.
"Su Wuming is indeed brilliant. We all have no doubt that he can pass the dharma body barrier, but what we are fighting for now is time."
The leader of the Zhenwu Sect said with a slight sigh, "Once some benefits are given away, it will take a lot of energy to get them back."
"What exactly will the imperial court do?"
Chi Yao was quite curious about this.
Logically speaking, between the two inheritance methods of the aristocratic family and the sect, it is obvious that the sect has the absolute advantage. After all, the aristocratic family must pay attention to blood. Even if they can recruit sons-in-law and adopted sons, there is still a layer between them. Such a family
My dear, you are the only ones with different surnames from others, how can you not be embarrassed? It doesn’t even need to mention the surname. When the family is big, there are also concubine branches within the family. Some people will never have the opportunity to come into contact with certain functions in their lives.
Law and position. Even some tribesmen with little talent cannot give up and need to continue to support them and become a burden to the family.
The sect is different. They have no scruples in accepting disciples, they only need to select their talents. Relatively speaking, it is a fairer method with a constant supply of new blood.
Of course, there are also those who have ruined the sect, such as the Zhenwu Sect. They created three major families in the sect and divided the entire sect into the Dao lineage and the secular lineage. Chi Yao simply didn't know what to say.
“Very simple,”
The leader of the Dajiang Gang took over and said, "As martial arts practitioners of ours, we are always bound to bump into people when we travel around the world. Under normal circumstances, we will not take the initiative to affect others, and we will compensate for damaged property. The court mostly turns a blind eye.
Turning a blind eye and acting in an expedient manner. But if we want to target, for example, if we are at war with evil and inadvertently affect others, if we really want to follow the legal provisions carefully, even if the person is killed by the other party, we still have responsibilities and must do it.
Things like taking notes, or what to do if you miss someone in a contest and kill someone, etc. If you look into details, it can give us a lot of eye drops."
The head of the Zhenwu Sect took over: "Actually, if this is the case, as long as we treat them equally, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that if our disciples encounter this situation, they will be made things difficult by the six gates, but the disciples of the aristocratic family can easily get through it.
.If things go on like this, the disciples’ chivalry and righteousness will be greatly affected. Not only will the reputation of the world also change, I’m afraid it will also be affected when we want to recruit new disciples.”
"There is also an interest dispute between us and the local aristocratic family. If the court gets sidetracked, it will be very troublesome." Huanhua Sword Master added.
Everyone said something to each other, telling each other about the difficulties that may arise in the future.
"I understand, you are mainly worried about being treated differently, right?"
In this world, where there is force, there is privilege. Sects and families are privileged classes, so they must be fair to each other. Your privilege cannot be higher than mine.
