Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 787

Wu Tongming said: "Brother Zhang and I have analyzed it before. Among the three major forces of Taixuanzong, the one we are most likely to rely on is the master-student line."

"Because the other two major factions need to be born, even if we put our hot face on others' cold asses, they may not take it seriously, let alone our low cultivation base."

"First of all, we belong to the family. We are not the children of the family of cultivation, and we are not qualified to integrate into their circle at all."

"Secondly, we are not qualified for the authentic sect. These people are at least three generations of Taixuanzong disciples, so they are eligible to be recruited by them."

"So we can only rely on the master-student system. The composition of the master-student system is the most complicated and diverse among the three factions."

"In the beginning, they were some of the monks who were dissatisfied with the aristocratic family and the orthodox sect, and they huddled together to keep warm."

"These people formed a group under the protection of several high-ranking monks to fight against the two factions of the aristocratic family and the orthodox sect. After millions of years of development and changes, these people gradually formed the third largest force within the Taixuanzong. Standing in the same court as the authentic disciples, the three legs stand together."

"Outsiders call this force the master-student line, because the backbone of this force is the master-student inheritance, and it has continued for millions of years."

"To this day, the master-student line has spread out in Taixuanzong, and there are many party members, and they are divided into various small branches, and together they form the whole of the master-student line."

"These small branches are like family factions, divided into children of the family surnamed Jiang, children of the family surnamed Liu, children of the family surnamed Sima, and so on."

"It's just that they are not like a family line, they can be clearly distinguished just by their surnames."

"It is worth mentioning that not all the disciples of Taixuanzong who have the status of master and apprentice belong to the master and apprentice line. They actually have inheritance within them. For example, who is your master, who is your master, and your master Who is the ancestor, who is the ancestor of your master, and the real master-student line has a complete inheritance."

"Just like a family tree, they have a roster of master genealogy. Every time a disciple is accepted, their name will be imprinted on the master tree, and then a rubbing copy will be handed over to the apprentice for safekeeping. They can even trace back to the ancestors dozens of generations ago. .”

"These talents are the real core figures of the master-student system. Without this kind of inheritance, they can only be regarded as vassals of the master-student system."

Tangning pondered, "According to Brother Wu, even if we take refuge in the master-disciple department, we are only their vassals and cannot be counted as their true self."

Zhang Ziqing smiled wryly: "As a vassal, how many people want to join us and have no way out! Didn't you see, Brother Tang, when we first arrived here, when Xu Mengyuan picked us up, in the main hall at the mountain guard, so many people showed him It’s easy to say hello, isn’t it because he is Fonda’s son? Otherwise, why would those people flatter him.”

"As we are half-way monks and our cultivation base is low, it would be nice to be able to find a big tree to lean on. It is basically impossible to climb this big tree."

"If you want to become a core disciple of the master-apprentice system, you must teach from an early age and confirm the status of master-apprentice before you are eligible to sign on the master tree. People like you and me, who would accept us?"

"To put it bluntly, we are no different from the cats and dogs they picked up on the side of the road. If it weren't for Brother Tang, you and Senior Fang have some old friends. With our cultivation base, how could Senior Fang like us."

"It is precisely because Senior Fang has taken care of you a lot that we came to you and said this with confidence. From now on, the two of us will only point to you to take care of us."

"Brother Zhang, it's serious. The three of you and I are grasshoppers on a boat. We should support each other and help each other. By the way, just now you said that there are many factions in the master-student system. I don't know which faction our captain belongs to?" Tang Ning asked.

He had speculated a long time ago that Fang Dasheng should belong to the same faction as Nangong Muxue, otherwise he would not have shown such enthusiasm for himself. Since they are from the same faction, then Liu Ruhan must also belong to this faction.

Zhang Ziqing said: "The specific faction is only known to their inner core disciples, not to outsiders. I only have a half-knowledge about the master-disciple lineage of the Taixuanzong, and most of it is hearsay."

"If the master-student system is compared to a towering tree, then their internal branches are like the branches of the big tree. There may be frictions and contradictions among these internal branches, but they are in the same Under the big tree, we will jointly safeguard the development of the big tree and our own interests."

"For example, Ren Boda, the front-line commander of the Qingzhou Allied Army, the former head of Taixuanzong's Foreign Affairs Academy and the current Taishang elder of Taixuanzong, is said to be one of the giants of the master-student line of Taixuanzong. He is one of the master-student lineages. tribal leaders."

"Everyone in this tribe looks up to him and only obeys his orders. There are several people like him in the master-student line."

"These people lead a tribe, and they are important giants in the master-student system."

"Within the tribe, they are the one and only leaders."

"In the sect, they are extremely influential and appealing. They are confidantes, disciples and grandchildren, and hold important positions in the sect."

"They unite together, and thus form the whole master-student system."

"As for the composition of the tribes, it's as simple as it is simple, and as complex as it is."

"Taking Ren Boda as an example, all the owners of his tribe must have the same name at the top of the list of masters."

"In other words, they are the same master."

"You must know that the master-student line of Taixuanzong has developed for millions of years, and the disciples and grandchildren have passed on for countless generations. They have already bloomed everywhere, and the branches and leaves are spreading. The master tree they hold is their identification."

"As long as this name appears on the list of masters, this person will naturally become the core disciple of their tribe."

"The opposite is also true. If it is not for the people on the roster of the teacher's tree, no matter what, they will not be able to squeeze into their inner circle."

Tangning nodded and said, "So, Fang Dasheng should belong to the inner circle of master and apprentice?"

"I think it should be. Otherwise, why should he take the position of chief executive? It must be taken care of by someone from above."

The three of them sat and talked for a long time, from various matters in the Xuantang City office to the distribution of forces in the whole Xuantang City, Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming shared all the news they had inquired these days, until it was dark, and the two got up I left and made an appointment to go out together in the city tomorrow.

………………

In the majestic and majestic cave, Xu Mengyuan was sitting cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes to practice. The storage bag around his waist suddenly shook. He opened his eyes, took out the array disk, and pointed at it, only to see a middle-aged man with the head of a leopard and the arms of an ape. The man strode through the thick fog.

Xu Mengyuan got up quickly, went out to greet him, and bowed to Fang Dasheng: "Master, why did you leave the customs today?"

"Liu Ziyang's [-]th birthday, he sent someone to invite me, Junior Brother Hao, and Junior Brother Sima to a banquet. This old guy is very face-saving. If you don't go! Maybe he still holds a grudge, so I have to go." Fang Dasheng felt a little helpless. Shaking his head: "When did you come back?"

"I went back to the headquarters at noon today. Master, Tangning's apprentice has already arrived in the city and is now staying at the inn. What kind of errand should I arrange for her?"

"It's a small matter, you can make up your own mind, why bother to ask me."

"Yes." Xu Mengyuan followed behind him step by step: "Master, I have something to tell you. This time, my apprentice went to Qianyuan City with Tangning and found a secret place, which contained a golden pill that was converted to the way of ghosts. After the man in the later period, the apprentice beheaded him, and got his relics, including a spirit treasure."

"Oh?" Fang Dasheng paused slightly: "Please explain carefully."

So Xu Mengyuan recounted the whole story: "That's it, there are twelve items inside, and this disciple only needs this spirit treasure."

"I didn't expect Tangning to be such a lucky person. After a random trip to Qianyuan City, she got so many things."

Xu Mengyuan replied: "How about he can marry Nangong Muxue's apprentice?"

Fang Dasheng smiled: "That's right, this is also your chance!"

"Master, in this spiritual treasure, there is a fourth-rank high-grade psychic beast soul that protects the remaining spiritual consciousness of the original owner. If you collide head-on with this disciple's ability, it may not be the opponent of this beast soul, so I would like to ask the master for help." .”

"Even if I help you erase its residual consciousness, with your current cultivation level, I'm afraid you won't be able to subdue that beast soul in the Lingbao space."

"I know this. I want to feed the beast soul with essence and blood for a period of time, so as to cultivate the relationship between the two parties, which will help to subdue this beast soul in the future."

"It takes a lot of energy! You should concentrate on your cultivation now. After all, cultivation is the foundation of everything. As for the spirit treasure! Don't be so anxious. If you must start the spirit treasure now, Being a teacher can help you, but I advise you to think carefully about it."

"Yes." Xu Mengyuan replied, "Master, today Tangning asked me about the situation of the Spirit Gathering Formation. I heard from him that he wanted to practice in the Spirit Gathering Formation. I casually prevaricated him a few words, you see?"

"He is not an official disciple yet, and he is not eligible to enter the Spirit Gathering Formation according to the regulations. Besides, he has no merit points to pay for the use of the Spirit Gathering Formation."

"The disciple understands."
