That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 886

Murong Xuan shook her head and said with a smile: "No matter how many tigers are crouching and how many dragons are hiding, they can't stand up to being killed by you one by one."

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Mrs. Murong is too famous."

"It's Mr. Xu who is modest." Murong Xuan smiled and said, "If I don't come to block Mr. Xu's sword, will Daoist Chen Ye die under Mr. Xu's sword?"

Xu Beiyou said flatly: "On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and life and death are at the mercy of fate. No one can say for sure. Besides, there is no reason to only allow yourself to kill but not allow others to resist. Now, there are still people who go against the sky, no matter how great the Taoist sect is, it cannot be as big as the sky, since you have entered Jiangdu City today, you should have the consciousness to die in Jiangdu."

Murong Xuan nodded and said: "That's exactly the reason, but can you take a step back for my sake today? You must know that there has never been any real life-and-death enmity in this world. The dispute with Gongsun Zhongmou is not just a matter between the two of them. I have persuaded Gongsun Zhongmou in Longcheng, and I have also persuaded Qiuye in Xuandu. It was due to the Battle of Biyou Island."

Xu Beiyou said: "I was one of the people who witnessed the battle of Biyou Island. Mrs. Murong was in the middle to mediate. I understand this. As for the right and wrong of this battle, after all, it is between the generation of Master and Master Zhangjiao. The matter is not that I, a junior, can speak out on my own."

Murong Xuan's expression eased slightly.

Xu Beiyou paused for a moment, then his tone suddenly turned cold, "However, it is up to me, Xu Beiyou, whether we want to avenge our former master, whether we want to fight against Taoism, or whether we want to participate in the general trend of the world. One generation only does what one generation does. , I will do what I have to do."

Murong Xuan narrowed her Danfeng eyes, although she didn't look gloomy, let alone angry when she met her, but the few people who knew her well knew that this was a sign that she was really angry, even though the current Jianzong still couldn't be compared with Taoism, However, the sword sect who produced an eighteenth-floor sword fairy is not what it used to be. Today's Xu Beiyou is indeed qualified to talk about the word "revenge". If she remembers correctly, this is also the first time Xu Beiyou has publicly talked about it And to avenge his master.

In fact, as early as after the fall of Jianzong, some people in the Taoist sect called the Jianzong in Shangguan Xianchen's era "Former Jianzong", and called the Jianzong in Gongsun Zhongmou's era "Later Jianzong". The reason for this is that a part of the "former Sword Sect" headed by Xiao Shen "returned" to the Taoist sect in name and became the ninth peak of the Taoist sect, which made the Taoist sect complete the nominal unification.

Since ancient times, great unification has been the general trend of the world. Why is Zulong revered as the one emperor through the ages?It is precisely because he was the first emperor to essentially unify the world, while the Three Emperors and Five Emperors before that were more like leaders of various ministries in the world than emperors who monopolized power.Since Zulong, the unity of the world has become the biggest bar on the top of each dynasty. The emperors of all dynasties, whether they ruled the river or settled in a corner, were regarded as incompetent. "That's where it comes from.

Daomen has been standing in the world for a long time, and it is inevitable to be affected by it. In fact, since Taoist ancestor ascended, Taoism has been in a state of division. First, the three Daoist monarchs coexisted and stood side by side, and from this developed the three masters of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing. Later, Taiqing Daojun teamed up with Yuqing Daojun to suppress Shangqing Daojun's faction. This is how Shangqing Daojun betrayed the Daoist sect with 23 swords on his back, and established his own family on the East China Sea.

The final result is that the Yuqing Sect has won the superficial victory, and one family dominates, completely controlling the authority of the Taoist sect. In other words, the Taoist sect today is the Yuqing Sect back then.

Under the deliberate arrangement of Taiqing Daojun, the Taiqing faction fell apart. Some became vassals of the Yuqing faction and stayed in the Taoist sect, some followed the Shangqing faction and defected from the Taoist sect, and some quietly integrated into the Confucian sect. Huang Lao said that the wind of Yixuan came from this, and some of them turned into Western Buddhism with the theory of transforming Hu, and even a small number of people went far to establish themselves, and established themselves with Buddhism, witchcraft, shamanism, etc. The door finally evolved into Xuanjiao during the Great Chu Dynasty, and the word Xuanjiao in Xuanjiao came from this. From this point of view, the Three Thousand Ways came out of the Daomen is not a boast of the Daomen.

As for the Shangqing faction, it occupies the Weiguo and 36 islands in the East China Sea and forms a family of its own. Because everyone in it wears a sword, it is also called Jianzong.

Since Daoist Yuqing, apart from planning the world, the biggest wish of the Taoist sects in the past is to bring the Taoist sect back into unity. The Taiqing sect will not say too much, after all, there are quite a few remaining in the Taoist sect, and it is enough to make a display , but the Shangqing faction wearing the cloak of Jianzong is really a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Yuqing faction.

If the Shangqing does not return, the Taoism will not be unified for a day.

Why does Zichen have such a high status among many Taoist sects?Not only because he single-handedly planned the thousand-year-old plan of Taoism to re-emerge in the world, but also because he single-handedly laid the foundation for Taoism to destroy Jianzong. Carefully returning to Shun Dao School, the Shangqing Sect returned to Taoism in name, and Taoism realized unification.

So far, the so-called "former Sword Sect" in Daomen has been completely destroyed, and the Jianzong re-established by Gongsun Zhongmou later, in the eyes of Daomen, has not much relationship with the Shangqing School, so it is also called It is called "Hou Jianzong".

From this point of view, Shangguan Xianchen is the last suzerain of the "former sword sect", and Gongsun Zhongmou is the first suzerain of the "later sword sect", but Gongsun Zhongmou never thinks so, and Xu Beiyou is the same.

Gongsun Zhongmou has always regarded himself as the No. 15 suzerain of Jianzong, and he is naturally the inheritor of the Shangqing lineage. He can be regarded as half of the Daoist sect, so Gongsun Zhongmou's attitude towards the Daoist sect is ambiguous, not because he has forgotten the hatred of exterminating the sect , but due to the current situation, Jianzong at that time was not only unable to compete with the Taoist sect, but also could no longer withstand the slightest wind, frost, snow and rain, so he could only pretend to be a snake with the Taoist sect.

There are two kinds of attitudes towards the "Hou Jianzong" within the Taoist sect. One is that they advocate extermination, with Xiao Shen and other senior figures as the main ones. The real person is in the middle and balanced, so there is a situation where Daomen and Jianzong are fighting and making peace, but they are generally peaceful. It was not until Gongsun Zhongmou decided to move closer to the court that aroused the fear of Daomen, which broke the fragile balance between the two, leading to Qiu Ye fought against Gongsun Zhongmou's Biyou Island.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "The Confucian sages have already made it clear that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Murong Xuan's eyes were dark, "So Mr. Xu is not going to back down a step?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "If it's a Daoist sect, will the Daoist sect retreat?"

The corners of Murong Xuan's mouth curled up, her eyes were cold.

Xu Beiyou raised Zhu Xian in his hand, and said calmly: Since Madam dared to come here alone, I think she must have left behind, Jianzong Xu Beiyou, I hope Madam will not hesitate to enlighten me. "
