After the grand ceremony of Daozong, the reputation of Daozong has dropped a lot, and the number of people who come to practice as a disciple is no longer what it used to be.
The reason is very simple, they are afraid of being implicated.
Although Daozong drew a clear line with the royal family in the past, at least it did not openly confront the imperial family. But now it has completely turned against the royal family. The royal family will probably send troops to attack Daozong. Joining Daozong at this time is tantamount to asking for trouble.
At this moment, there are only a dozen figures at the foot of Taihua Mountain, most of them are young people. They look up at the top of the mountain, with a look of emotion on their faces.
"The Dao Sect has existed for more than 700,000 years. I wonder if it can survive this disaster." A man with a handsome face said.
"It's hard to say that Daozong's enemy is the royal family. The forces that resisted the royal family have been lost in the long river of history. No one remembers it." Another man sighed, obviously very pessimistic about Daozong's fate.
"Not necessarily." A gentle voice came out. The speaker was a young woman with a youthful and beautiful appearance. There was an elegant and dignified temperament between her eyebrows. She seemed to be a lady.
"Do you think Daozong can survive?" The man who just spoke looked at the woman and asked with a surprised look on his face.
"It's just a feeling, maybe a bit of extravagant hope."
The woman looked a little sad and said again, "Daozong is a holy place. It is not for fame and fortune, but for preaching. If Daozong is destroyed, I am afraid there will not be a second Daozong in the future. This is very important to practitioners in the world."
What a misfortune.”
"Having said that, in the face of absolute strength, everything else is meaningless." The man shook his head and said, Daozong's character is admirable, but how many people are willing to stand up and fight for Daozong?
Apart from people from the Dao Sect, I'm afraid there won't be anyone else.
"Who said it's meaningless?" At this time, a voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around when they heard this voice, and saw an old man in green robes walking towards him. He had white hair and a childlike face, and an ethereal temperament. Although he had no breath on his body, he gave people an unfathomable feeling.
"This is a big shot." A thought flashed through everyone's mind, and they couldn't help but look at the old man with a bit more respect.
"You said that in the face of absolute strength, everything else is meaningless, so let me ask you, what is the purpose of practice?" The old man in green robe looked at the man just now and asked.
The man looked frozen there, speechless.
"What do you think?" The old man in green robe looked at the woman again.
The woman looked thoughtful, then shook her head and said, "Juniors are stupid, please give me some advice from seniors."
The old man in green robe did not answer the woman's doubts, but asked, "If Dao Zong does not encounter a crisis, would you like to join Dao Zong?"
"Of course I do," the woman replied without hesitation.
"Looking at your dress, you should be of extraordinary origin. Why don't you practice in your own power and come to the Taoist sect instead?" the old man in green robe asked again.
This time the woman hesitated and replied, "Daozong is a holy place for preaching. There are many powerful teachers, and the disciples of Daozong are all geniuses. Practicing in this environment will be more helpful to you."
The old man in green robe showed a smile and said, "It seems that you are practicing to make yourself stronger."
The woman blinked her eyes and did not refute the old man in green robe. This was indeed what she was thinking.
"Senior, isn't this kind of thinking wrong?" the man asked just now.
The old man in green robe smiled
He smiled and said, "The vast majority of people in the world are like this. There is nothing wrong with practicing to strengthen themselves. However, there are a very small number of people who practice not only to strengthen themselves, but also to make more people stronger."
After listening to the words of the old man in green robe, everyone's expressions condensed, and they vaguely understood something.
The very few people the old man mentioned are members of the Taoist sect.
The old man in green robe looked at the man again and said, "In terms of strength, Daozong is indeed unable to compete with the royal family, but the royal family can never destroy Daozong."
"Why?" the man asked in confusion. Does Daozong still have a trump card?
The green-robed old man looked towards the top of Taihua Mountain, with a solemn look on his face. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly uttered a voice.
"Because, Daozong's faith will last forever."
"The faith of Tao Zong will last forever." Everyone's hearts trembled slightly. This sentence seemed to be very profound, and they seemed to understand it.
"Go back, and come back to Daozong when you have figured it out." The old man in green robe looked at them and said, then he stepped into the void step by step and headed towards the top of Taihua Mountain.
Seeing the figure of the old man in green robe gradually disappearing, everyone suddenly understood something, and everyone's eyes showed a look of shock.
He is a strong man in Taoism!
"It seems that we have not met the requirements of Dao Zong." The woman sighed. The requirements she mentioned were not at the level of talent, but at the level of thought. Even if she joins Dao Zong, she is not a disciple of Dao Zong in the true sense.
.
"Let's go." Voices came out one after another, and everyone left.
At this time, the old man in green robe came to the door of Taihua Taoist Sect and saw many disciples patrolling, with an easy-going smile on his face.
Those Dao Sect disciples naturally saw the green-robed old man and looked at him warily. One of them asked loudly, "Where did you come from, senior?"
"Come from the same place." The old man in green robe replied with a smile.
The disciples all stared at each other. What was this answer?
"Continue patrolling, don't worry about me." The old man in green robe said, and the moment his voice fell, his figure disappeared directly on the spot without any warning.
Seeing the old man in green robe disappear out of thin air, the disciples' eyes widened and their faces were full of shock.
"Quickly report to the elders, there is a powerful attack!" Then someone reacted and said loudly.
"No need." Another person waved his hand, causing others to look at him with doubts on their faces.
"If this old man is looking for trouble, do you think we are still alive?" the man said again.
Everyone's expressions froze at the same time. With the old man's strength, killing them was just a matter of course, but he did not do so, which shows that he has no hostility towards Daozong.
"He asked us not to worry about him. He should be a friend of Daozong. Let's continue patrolling." The man said again.
Everyone nodded and didn't think about what happened just now.
Outside the cabinet, many figures gathered here. At the front were Ouyang Ye, Dan Qiuzi and other senior officials, followed by the cabinet elders, and then the heads of the nine major pavilions.
They all looked forward, with very solemn expressions on their faces, as if they were waiting for something.
Not long after, an old man in green robes stepped from a distant space. He took one step at a time and arrived in front of the crowd in just a few blinks of an eye.
The old man in green robes glanced at Ouyang Ye and others, and said with a smile, "Everyone, I'm fine!" After the Taoist sect's grand ceremony, the reputation of the Taoist sect dropped a lot, and the number of people who came to practice as a disciple was no longer what it used to be.
The reason is very simple, they are afraid of being implicated.
