Xiao Muyang looked at the three people in front of him blankly, as if he were an outsider.
Why did the three people react differently when he entered the ancestral hall?
"Ahem..."
Xiao Muyang coughed dryly, looked at Xuan Zheng standing in the middle, raised his hands respectfully and asked: "May I ask the master of the palace, what is all this going on?"
"It's a long story, and I can't explain it in just a few words." Xuan Zheng replied lightly, making Xiao Muyang's face stiffen, and he was speechless for a while.
"Let me tell you." The Tianyi poster on the side said, Xiao Muyang looked at the Tianyi poster with expectant eyes.
"The last time I set up the formation in Xuantian City, I was actually looking for people who would have the chance to crack the Xianyue Ancient Formation." The owner of Tianyi looked at Xiao Muyang and said, "I believe you have thought of this before. .”
"I thought of it." Xiao Muyang nodded, and then asked with a puzzled look: "What is the relationship between the senior and Xuantian Mansion, and why did he choose someone to break the Xianyue Ancient Formation?"
"Did you know that Xuanyun Mansion once had four major veins?" Tianyi Building Master asked rhetorically without answering.
"I've heard of it before." Xiao Muyang nodded lightly. After saying that, his expression suddenly froze, and he immediately thought of something.
Xuan Chuan mentioned in Xie Yue Cave that two of the four major veins disappeared a long time ago, and the other one also disappeared decades ago. Now only Xuan Chuan is left in Xuanyun Mansion. .
Master Tianyi is not from the Xuanyun Mansion, but there are many rumors about him and the old Mansion Master. In addition, he selected people to crack the Xianyue Ancient Formation. After connecting these clues together, the truth emerged. .
The owner of Tianyi House is most likely the lineage responsible for the decline of Xuanyun Mansion.
As if he could see what Xiao Muyang was thinking, the Tianyi Building Master showed a smile on his handsome face and said: "You guessed it right, I come from one of the four major bloodlines of Xuanyun Mansion. In other words, I am also a member of Xuanyun Mansion. People from the Yun Mansion."
"Sure enough!" Xiao Muyang's heart was shocked, and then he had some doubts. He couldn't help but ask: "Since the senior is from Xuanyun Mansion, why did he leave Xuanyun Mansion and open a restaurant in Xuantian City instead?"
Although Tianyi Restaurant is famous, it is obviously not on the same level as Xuanyun Mansion.
"How can a declining lineage be qualified to stay in Xuanyun Mansion?" Tianyi Building Master said lightly, as if with a bit of self-deprecation.
Hearing this, Xiao Muyang's eyes revealed a hint of meaning. He couldn't help but glance at Xuan Zheng and Xuanyuan, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.
This is probably an internal conflict within Xuanyun Mansion.
"There is an unwritten rule in Xuanyun Mansion. If there are less than a hundred disciples in a lineage, there are only two ways to go. Either merge into other lines and this lineage will disappear from then on, or keep this lineage, but you must leave Xuanyun Mansion."
Suddenly, a vicissitudes of voice was heard, and it was Xuan Zheng who spoke.
"Why are there such regulations?" Xiao Muyang's eyes showed confusion. Aren't they all disciples of Xuanyun Mansion? This approach is too cruel.
"In order to maintain the stability of Xuantian Mansion."
Xuan Zheng looked at Xiao Muyang and explained: "In fact, the cultivation resources and status enjoyed by each lineage are the same, and there is no distinction between high and low. However, if the number of people is too small, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among people from other lines, which is very easy Breeding internal conflicts."
"This is also an order issued by the ancestors of Xuanyun Mansion. A declining lineage is not qualified to exist alone." Xuanyuan also agreed.
Tianyi's face was as calm as water and he did not refute, as if he acquiesced in what the two said.
"That's it." Xiao Muyang nodded with understanding.
If a certain lineage has declined, but enjoys the same status and practice resources as other lines, this is an unfair phenomenon. There may not be any problems in the short term, but in the long run, it will not be beneficial to the sect.
development of.
The ancestors of Xuanyun Mansion issued such a rule just because they considered the impact.
This is actually an incentive. Under such rules, all disciples will work hard to practice and compete with each other, so as not to be eliminated.
This has nothing to do with right or wrong, just considering it from the perspective of the sect.
"So, the first two lines chose to be merged, and the line where the original poster belonged chose to keep it, but leave Xuanyun Mansion?" Xiao Muyang asked tentatively, looking at the owner of Tianyi.
"That's right." Tianyi Building Master nodded: "Once merged, it will cease to exist and will eventually be forgotten by future generations. We are not willing to suffer such an end, so we chose to leave Xuanyun Mansion."
There was a hint of thinking in Xiao Muyang's eyes. Although the Tianyi Building Master left Xuanyun Mansion, he had the same identity as the lineage in Xuanyun Mansion, but he no longer enjoyed the cultivation resources provided by Xuanyun Mansion.
There are gains and losses.
I retained my status but lost my resources.
"But our departure is only temporary. There is still a chance to return to Xuanyun Mansion." Tianyi Building Master said again.
Xiao Muyang nodded slightly. If he could not return after leaving, then there would be no point in retaining his name. It would still be impossible for future generations to remember him.
"Does cracking the secret of Xianyue Cave mean that we can return to Xuanyun Mansion?" Xiao Muyang seemed to be talking to himself. In this way, everything can be explained.
Everything Tianyi did before was to find the right person to help him return to Xuanyun Mansion.
"Not just a return."
Xuan Zheng glanced at Xiao Muyang and spoke slowly: "Xieyue Cave is the holy land of Xuanyun Mansion, especially the ancestral hall. Only the past palace lords and palace lord candidates can enter. Although Tianyi is not in Xuanyun Mansion, he
He still represents the lineage of the Xuanyun Palace and is qualified to compete for the position of Palace Lord."
"Competing for the position of palace master..." Xiao Muyang trembled in his heart, and suddenly understood something. Tianyi Building Master, he not only wanted to return to Xuanyun Palace, but also competed for the position of palace master.
"When his lineage left Xuanyun Mansion, we made an agreement. Whichever lineage can enter the ancestral hall in the future will be the next master of the palace." Xuan Zheng stared at Xiao Muyang and said solemnly: "And
Tianyi chose you, and in the end, you did it."
Xiao Muyang's heart stirred up. Xuan Zheng's words had a great impact on him, and he couldn't accept them for a while.
After all, he only had a one-time relationship with Tianyi Host and had never communicated alone. However, Tianyi Host placed such heavy expectations on him, which was simply unbelievable.
If this matter spreads, I'm afraid no one will believe it is true.
"The reason why I haven't revealed anything to you is because I'm afraid that you will be under great pressure and affect your ability to perform. If you fail in the end, you won't know the truth." The owner of Tianyi looked at Xiao Muyang and said.
"No wonder." Xiao Muyang suddenly realized in his heart that the owner of Tianyi had really considered it carefully. If he had known about this matter in advance, he would have refused. It was too important and he couldn't bear it.
"Although I entered the ancestral hall, I didn't get any opportunities. Can this be considered a success?" Xiao Muyang asked.
"As long as you enter the ancestral hall, you will be considered successful." Tianyi Building Master's eyes showed a bit of curiosity and asked: "Why don't you want to join Xuantian Mansion?"
"This junior has forces that he wants to join, and it has nothing to do with Xuanyun Mansion itself." Xiao Muyang replied.
"I understand." Tianyi's host nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
"Tianyi, when do you plan to take over as the master of the palace?" Xuan Zheng looked at the master of Tianyi and asked, causing Xiao Muyang's expression to become strange. Have you started arranging the succession?
"Master, please stay here for a while longer, I'm not in a hurry." Tianyi Building Master said with a smile. His master and Xuan Zheng are contemporaries, and he is Xuan Zheng's junior brother, so he naturally calls Xuan Zheng his master.
"Now that I'm already at this age, I just want to practice with peace of mind and not worry about mundane matters. You'd better take over as soon as possible and let me worry less." Xuan Zheng said in a rather helpless tone.
The owner of Tianyi pondered for a moment, and then responded: "Then let's give it a few more months."
"That's pretty much it." Xuan Zheng nodded with a smile on his face, as if satisfied.
Xiao Muyang looked at the old man and the young man in front of him. Sure enough, as described in the rumors, the relationship between the two was very good.
Even though Master Tianyi had left Xuanyun Mansion for many years, he still respected the old master in his heart, and the old master was not dissatisfied because Master Tianyi took back the position of master from him, and even took the initiative to give up his position.
It can be seen that both of them are open-minded people, they can distinguish between public and private affairs, and they will not act out of emotion.
Xiao Muyang suddenly looked at Xuanyuan, and saw that he always had a straight face, with no trace of joy on his face.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Muyang understood the reason.
If he had not entered the ancestral hall, then the next master of the palace would naturally be Xuanyuan. Now that he was snatched away by the master of Tianyi, he would naturally not be in a good mood.
At this time, the master of Tianyi looked at Xuanyuan and said: "If there is no one in the next generation who is more talented than Xuanchuan, Xuanchuan will be the candidate for the master of the palace."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan's expression was shaken, and he looked at the Tianyi Building Master with some disbelief.
"Are you serious?" Xuanyuan asked with a solemn expression. If Master Tianyi accepted a disciple, he would be fully qualified to directly take over the position of Palace Master, which is different from the current situation.
"Of course." The owner of Tianyi nodded with a smile and said, "I can see Xuanchuan's talent. He is a good young talent who will be able to take on important responsibilities in the future."
Xuanyuan stared at the Tianyi Building Master, and the unwillingness in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he truly recognized the Tianyi Building Master.
Xuanyuan himself is already a powerful person in the Heavenly Gang. It doesn't really matter to him whether he should be the palace master. The reason why he wants to compete for the palace master is for the sake of Xuanchuan and Xuanyan.
Since Master Tianyi promised to focus on cultivating Xuanchuan, he has no worries. Not being the master of the palace can reduce a lot of burdens, so why not?
As for Master Tianyi, deep down in his heart, he does not want to be the master of the palace, otherwise he would not have shied away from the old master just now and thought about taking over the position of master in a few years.
However, in order for his lineage to return to Xuanyun Mansion openly and no longer be discriminated against, he must shoulder this responsibility.
"I originally planned to accept you as a disciple, but since you want to join other forces, I won't force you. This book is given to you as my repayment for your kindness." Tianyi Building Master said, An ancient book appeared in his hand and was handed to Xiao Muyang.
Xiao Muyang reached out and took the book, only to see three words written on it: Ten Thousand Formations Diagram.
Obviously, this book is related to formations.
"This book combines my lifelong understanding of formations. The book introduces many formations, methods of setting up formations, and methods of breaking them. It should be of some help to you in improving your formation attainments."
The owner of Tianyi said with a smile, Xiao Muyang helped him return to Xuanyun Mansion, he would naturally thank him deeply.
"Thank you, host!" Xiao Muyang said gratefully, with a gleam of excitement in his eyes. He naturally understood the value of this book!
