That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1232 It Turned Out To Be Wrong

Xichen said slowly: "Sect Master Xu, things have gone to the point they are today, it's fundamentally wrong."

"On the root?" Xu Beiyou bit the word "on the root" a little bit harder, and then looked at Xichen, "The 'on the root' that the old man said, but it starts from ten years of competition?"

Xichen said: "Even earlier, counting 20 years from the ten-year competition, it was the time when your master Shangguan Xianchen first crossed the sea and landed. Many things happened in that year. It doesn't matter whether the ancestor killed him or brother Wuchen was injured and fell into the environment, it is not something that affects the overall situation. The thing that really affects the overall situation is that your ancestor and my elder brother had a secret meeting. It became a joint venture between the two families of Kendo, and the two families joined forces to destroy the leaders of the two major sects in the north, Molun Temple and Xuanjiao, which caused Molun Temple and Xuanjiao to be torn apart due to internal fighting in the next few decades. Powerless to get involved in the general trend of the Central Plains."

"I have indeed heard about these things." Xu Beiyou said thoughtfully: "But I am a latecomer after all, and I am naturally not as good as the old senior who personally experienced the inside story."

Xichen continued: "After this incident, everyone knew that Shangguan Xianchen returned to Jianzhong Island to be imprisoned, but few people knew that the brother in charge also went to Wei State. He went to Ye's ancestral house in Wei State and met with Ye Ye Zhong, the patriarch of the family, then took Ye Qiu, the young son of the Ye family, under his family."

"Actually, I saw some clues when senior brother Qingchen complained about this. But after thinking about it, this is something that the senior brother in charge personally decided. It is impossible for the senior brother in charge to be wrong, so I made a mistake." I dispelled my doubts, followed the wishes of the master teacher sincerely, and respected this little guy as the next head teacher of our Taoist sect. But when it was time to compete in the world 20 years later, senior brother Qing Chen betrayed the Taoist sect for the position of master teacher , I just discovered that the brother in charge may not be all-knowing and omnipotent, he is also a human being, and as a human being, he will make mistakes sometimes."

Xu Beiyou asked: "Where did the old head teacher go wrong?"

Xi Chen lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "Sect Master Xu knows that Qiu Ye's original name is Ye Qiu, but he was born in the family of Wei Guohao's Ye family. There are countless connections and entanglements. It is not uncommon for the sect and the aristocratic family to join hands, and the children of the aristocratic family to worship the sect. The two sides borrow each other's strength and support each other. superior."

Xu Beiyou thought for a while and asked, "Is it because of fear of favoritism?"

"This is just one of them." Xichen stretched out two fingers, distinguished one by one, and said: "The old Taoist will give two examples to Sect Master Xu. Chen was born in the Shangguan family, a wealthy family in the state of Wei. After becoming the suzerain of Jianzong, Shangguan became a vassal of Jianzong, which is considered a good thing for the sect. Being a vassal is a bad thing for the sect."

Xichen sighed softly, "The reason for this is actually very simple. People outside the world are also human beings, and it is difficult for human beings to let go of blood relatives. The so-called forgetting love after all is the realm only possessed by Taoist ancestors, not me. Waiting for mortals to be extravagant."

Xu Beiyou looked at Xichen, waiting for the next article.

Xichen continued: "Back then, the intention of the elder brother to accept Qiuye was because Qiuye himself was a talented person who was exiled from the immortal, and secondly, because Qiuye had the full support of the Ye family and the Murong family behind him. The plan for the millennium in the future is also reasonable. But there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Brother Zhang Ye helped Qiu Ye up, making Qiu Ye the real head teacher of my Taoist sect, the Ye family and the Murong family who have a great relationship with Ye Qiu Now that I have a reliance, and I think that I have contributed to my Taoism's thousand-year-old plan, I take it for granted that I have no limit to the Taoism. Just think, if there is no Ye Qiu, the real person in charge, would the Ye family and the Murong family dare to do this? The old Taoist said something nasty, they don’t need to stretch out their hands, they just open their mouths, they are looking for death. But with Qiu Ye, it will be very different, the Taoist sect not only can’t do anything to them, but also treat them with courtesy.”

Xu Beiyou said thoughtfully: "That's the reason. What about Qiuye? As the head teacher of Taoism, he doesn't care about it?"

Xi Chen said: "Qiu Ye is a well-deserved top person in the world when it comes to cultivating Taoism and Xuan, but when it comes to being in charge of the sect, he is not satisfied. If it is only like this, it is nothing. If he doesn't want to help, as long as he doesn't express his opinion, the masters of the top peaks and the masters of the twelve halls and five pavilions will deal with this matter cleanly, and it will never get to this point."

Xu Beiyou suddenly said: "It's a pity that there is another Murong Xuan."

Xichen said: "Yes."

Xu Beiyou asked: "Could it be that all the great masters have nothing to do with Murong Xuan?"

Xi Chen smiled wryly, "Because Murong Xuan is stronger."

Xu Beiyou was slightly surprised: "How do you say?"

Xichen said: "When it comes to cultivating the Tao and fighting skills, it is not difficult to get rid of Murong Xuan, but when it comes to power tactics, these big and small real people who practice Taoism all day long are no match for a little girl. In the palm of your hand. If it wasn't for the sudden emergence of Sect Master Xu, who disrupted Murong Xuan's many plans and arrangements, this would give us old people a chance to fight back, otherwise we don't know when we will be able to beat Murong Xuan once .”

Xu Beiyou seemed to understand something, "Old man, please continue."

Xichen continued: "Sect Master Xu think about it carefully, supporting Wei Wang's rebellion, supporting the grassland to go south, and even the rebellion to divide the world into four, none of which is what the Taoist sect should do, but the Taoist sect just did it. This is to be invincible with the world. You are playing with fire. Sooner or later you will play with fire and set yourself on fire. At that time, not only the thousand-year plan of the Daoist sect will be destroyed, but also those of us in the Daoist sect will be inseparable. We will be dragged together forever. .”

Speaking of this, Xi Chen's eye circles were a little red, and his expression was a little sad. He sighed, "In the past few decades, I have seen the Taoist sect embark on the old path of prosperity and decline. The family business of the Taoist sect is big. But I can't stand such waste and squandering. This is the foundation laid by the eight senior brothers back then, but the senior brother Zichen, the second senior brother Qingchen, the third senior brother Wuchen, and the seventh senior brother Tianchen are no longer alive. The fifth junior brother Weichen and Sixth Junior Sister Yuchen never asks about family matters, even if she came out of the mountain this time, it is because of their son, as for Eighth Junior Brother Qingchen, he is Qiu Ye's confidant, and he is not a fellow traveler with the old Tao."

Speaking of this, Xi Chen tremblingly stretched out a lonely finger, and laughed at himself: "After counting and counting, only the old Taoist is left."

Xu Beiyou straightened out his thoughts, and finally said: "So the old man said that the inside is rotten, so he can only find help from the outside to help the old man remove the rotten flesh inside."

Xichen got up, bowed to Xu Beiyou, and said in a deep voice, "I hope that Master Xu will help the old man."
