That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1294

Inside Zixiao Palace, smoke curled up.

A middle-aged Taoist in a dark purple Taoist robe sits cross-legged on a futon, silently operating his air mechanism, and his whole person is in a mysterious state of seeming nothingness and reality, and nothingness.

Not far from the Taoist, stood an old Taoist with white hair like snow and a black Taoist robe. He was Qingchen who had the best relationship with Qiuye among the eight elders of the Taoist school.

The so-called eight elders are purple dust, green dust, Wuchen, stream dust, fine dust, jade dust, sky dust, and clean dust.Qingchen's Taoist name and Qingchen's Taoist name have the same pronunciation and different words, but it is easy to distinguish. Qingchen is ranked last among the eight elders, and Qingchen is ranked second. Except for the head teacher Zichen, peers are called, A senior brother can tell the difference clearly, while the juniors are called the peak master of Tianshu Peak and the peak master of Yaoguang Peak respectively.In the future, Qingchen betrayed the Daoist sect, and there was only one Qingchen in the Daoist sect.

At the beginning of Qiu Ye's teaching, he was oppressed by Tian Chen, the master of the peak, and was almost no different from a puppet. After Tian Chen ascended, Qiu Ye could take over the power of the Taoist sect.After Qiu Ye took power, he was very wary of the masters and uncles among the eight elders of the Taoist sect, forcing Xichen, Weichen, Yuchen and others to retreat one after another. Only Qingchen still holds power in the Taoist sect, which shows the relationship between the two The depth of friendship.

Qingchen looked at Qiuye and said: "Why did the Master Master insist on going down the mountain to fight Xu Beiyou? It's not that the old Taoist has no confidence in the Master, it's just a matter of the world. If the Master Master fails to win , not only will the master's ascension opportunity be delayed, but also our Taoist sect will collapse in an instant, there is a fear of overturning, I hope the master will think twice."

Qiu Ye slowly opened his eyes, and said calmly: "I can't escape this battle. If I dodge and not fight, and only seek to prove Dao Ascension, then what will happen to Dao Sect after I ascend? Master, don't forget, Xu Beiyou This year has not yet reached the age of 30, even if he stays in the world for a year, it will not be a serious problem. At that time, who in the Taoist sect can stop Xu Beiyou? Will he be suppressed to death by Xu Beiyou? What face do you have to meet the patriarchs of the Taoist sect?"

Qiu Ye's tone gradually became dignified, "Instead of leaving a mess that cannot be cleaned up for future generations, it is better to let me clean up this mess. At least I have the ability to clean up this mess. Even if I fail to clean up this mess, the result will not be so bad." Even worse, why bother to hand it over to future generations."

Qingchen sighed for a long time, "If you want to clean up the current situation, you will most likely lose the opportunity of the head teacher's ascension."

Qiu Ye slowly got up from the futon, came to the window, looked at the clear blue sky, and then said: "At the beginning, I had a ulterior motive, made a wrong step, and made mistakes again and again, which led to the situation today. Now I must stop harboring selfish thoughts, abolishing the public because of private interests, and now repaying the public with private interests, it can be regarded as a cycle of karma, to make up for the mistakes made at the beginning."

Qingchen sighed again.

Qiu Ye said slowly: "The thousand-year foundation of the Taoist sect cannot be destroyed in my hands, and some things have to be explained in advance."

Qingchen's face was serious, and he waited for the next article.

Qiu Ye said in a deep voice: "In today's crisis situation, it is necessary to have a person who can carry the tripod to support the Taoist situation. He alone can decide the world, just like Xu Beiyou of Jianzong today, who was ordered to help the building in times of crisis. Will turn the tide and turn the tide. Or maybe Gongsun Zhongmou at the beginning may not be able to straighten the building, but he will not let the building just fall down, support the door, and ensure that the incense will never stop. Such a person, The talent beyond the world is still second, the most important thing is to have perseverance, no matter how many difficulties and dangers he has, he will not lose his ambition."

Qingchen remained silent.

Qiu Ye paced back and forth with his hands on his shoulders, "Bai Yunzi is not good enough to take on such a big task. Although this person can't be said to be ambitious, he is not the talent of the suzerain. Whether it is so-called compiling Daoist dictionaries or writing Qingci, it is just a small way after all. There is not much benefit to the important affairs of the sect. And if you are not determined, you can do it in good times, but once you fall into adversity, you will mess up your own position, and you must not take on such a big task."

Qing Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Among the twelve disciples, Tian Yun has rebelled and Wu Yun has died. As for Qi Xianyun, let alone Bai Yun, there is only one Bai Yun left. If he is not used, who else can be used? Is it Ling Yun?" Ling Yun is a man of ancient chivalry, loyal and loyal. He can rule a large sect, but he must not be so-called chivalrous. It is to die generously in the heavy rain, and it will not benefit the sect's inheritance."

Qiu Ye smiled, "Although Ling Yun has a strong ambition, it is good to be talented, but his temperament is not suitable for being in charge of the sect. Don't say that he has already fallen into the hands of Jian Zong, even if he is still in the Xuandu. I won't let him run the portal either."

Qing Chen said: "The old Taoist really doesn't know who to choose."

Qiu Ye was silent for a while, then asked: "What do you think of Qing Yun?"

"Qingyun?" Qingchen was a little surprised. In his impression, Qingyun had always been a man of few words. Participated in those battles, and never heard of him getting close to anyone, it was really inconspicuous.

Qiu Ye gave a rare smile, "Yes, it's Qing Yun. Among the twelve disciples, he has the most temperament like the master back then. He rarely speaks a word on weekdays, but the few errands I entrusted to him, He did everything very well, without any omissions, and he even told me in private about several major shortcomings of Daomen. He didn't dare to say every word, but he was right in one sentence. He can see these, which shows that he is willing He is hardworking, talented, and more importantly, he is willing to do it. Compared with Bai Yun who only talks on his lips, or Ling Yun who does things according to his own mind, he is much better than him, so I think he is my true love. heir to the mantle."

Qingchen asked: "In that case, why didn't the head teacher reuse him? Instead, he let it go."

Qiu Ye sighed, "This is also a helpless matter. Even I can't completely suppress the sect's struggle so far. If I value Qing Yun, I will put him in the position of being the target of public criticism. Not only will it attract sky clouds, dark clouds, Bai Yun and others are hostile, and even Murong Xuan will have other ideas because of Xianyun, so I can only hide him in the snow, not only to temper his will, but also a kind of protection."

Qingchen nodded slightly.

Qiu Ye looked at Qingchen, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, if the situation is really irreversible, you can take Qingyun and escape from the formation of the Patriarch Hall, and keep a ray of incense for my Taoist sect."

Qing Chen's face was solemn, and he responded heavily.

Qiu Ye waved her big sleeves and went outside Zixiao Palace.

Qingchen stopped where he was, with a desolate figure.
