Chapter 30 Dao League
Hearing the words, Shen Banban couldn't help being slightly stunned.

"Master, do you know the meaning of my name?" The girl was a little surprised.

Lu Qing nodded with a smile: "Banba is an elegant name for Qilin."

It is rare to name a girl Qilin as another name.

There are so many people in the world who wish they had a unicorn, but not many people engage in such a big pattern on girls.

But not to mention, the word "general" reveals a little more cuteness and a little weirdness.

In fact, Lu Qing also knows many cute nicknames.

For example, Phoenix is ​​also called Zuzu.

It's just that when ordinary people see the word "general", they will instinctively think of general.

In fact, the meaning is quite different.

After hearing his words, Shen Banban's beautiful eyes were brightened again.

"He actually knew!"

A few simple chats made the distance between them feel a lot closer.

I have to say that taking the initiative to strike up a conversation still depends on skill.

Yes, Lu Qing's purpose was to have a chat with her, to see if he could get some useful information.

And after the cultivation just now, he realized that the girl in front of him is worthy of deep friendship.

The efficiency of body training has directly tripled, and one time of penance is comparable to three times in normal times, which is really scary.

It would be unimaginable to be able to be with her like this day after day!
Just when he was about to continue the topic, a figure suddenly appeared.

The visitor was wearing an official uniform, with wheat-colored skin, revealing a wild beauty, and the scars on his face added to the hideousness.

"The head of the female village is here." This is Lu Qing's nickname given to the prison lord.

"Banban." Situ Yu said in a deep voice.

After being named, the girl who had an endless desire to express herself fell silent immediately.

She got up quickly and saluted Sir Situ.

Lu Qing also stood up and looked at the woman who fed him Body Tempering Pill every day.

She took a look at Lu Qing, but didn't talk to him, she just said to Shen Banban: "Follow me back."

"Yes." After Ban Ban took the order, before leaving, he couldn't help but glanced at Lu Qing again.

Seeing her worthless appearance, Situ Yu felt a little angry for some reason.

But before she left, she was still chewing on what Lu Qing said.

"Does Banban mean Qilin?" she thought to herself.

After returning to the house, Situ Yu asked, "How do you feel?"

Shen Banban's breath is restrained now, not as chaotic as before, and he replied: "It's much better than before."

Situ Yu nodded slightly, and said flatly, "That's good."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at the girl in front of her and said, "Do you still remember that I said earlier that I will find you a suitable sword teacher?"

"I remember." Shen Ban said.

She was obviously looking forward to this day, and she was looking forward to practicing with the master of swordsmanship.

But now for some reason, I feel a little bit lost in my heart.

"Tomorrow, you can go to the Dao League." Situ Yu said.

The girl was immersed in disappointment, but after hearing the word [Daomeng], her expression changed slightly.

Looking at the Shen-like expression, Situ Yu said: "That's right, the teacher I want to find for you is in the Taoist League, and the task I give you is to integrate into the Anguo Taoist League."

Shen Biao understood.

"Do you know much about Daomeng?" Situ Yu asked.

"I know a little bit, it is an institution set up by Emperor An Guo." Shen Banban said.

Situ Yu nodded and began to introduce her.

"The former emperor of Anguo was indeed a talented and ambitious emperor."

"Cultivating one way has a long history. In this world, there are many sects."

"But with the gradual growth of many sects, it is not a good thing for the court."

"You don't need to know the reason for this for the time being. You just need to understand that the so-called Dao League is actually similar to the official sects established by the imperial court in various places in Anguo."

From a certain level, the major sects are a bit like private schools, while Daomeng is a public school.

It's just that the major sects have a higher degree of freedom and are more independent.Taking Jianshan as an example, it can even be said that it is - listening to the tune but not to the announcement.

To put it bluntly, how long has Jianshan been established, and how long has it been since you founded the country?
Let your dynasties change, and my sword mountain will not fall down!
Over time, this is not a good thing for the court.

Not much else to say, just the monopoly of talents is enough to cause headaches for the imperial court.

Most powerful monks come from various sects.

Do you think he has a stronger sense of belonging to the sect, or does he have a stronger sense of belonging to the court?

In addition, monks are different from farmers, workers, etc., monks are not involved in production.

But monks are consuming a lot of resources.

Moreover, Zongmen does not pay taxes.

This point is similar to those temples in ancient China.

For example, in the history of China, there were four emperors who carried out the so-called "Buddha extermination campaign".

These four people are collectively known as the Three Wus and One Sect.

Take Tang Wuzong's extermination of Buddhism as an example. At that time, the treasury was often in a state of being unable to make ends meet.

But the Buddhist group is fucking rich.

Buddhism has a large amount of donations, incense money, etc., and also has a large amount of real estate through land mergers.

If monks do not farm, they will hire many tenants, which makes a large amount of labor force attached to the name of the temple.

At the same time, with the development of the temple economy, they have even created their own financial system. Many temples are also engaged in lending business, and they will use donations as an excuse to amass money crazily.

In this case, they also do not have to pay taxes and do not have to serve in the military.

This alone will inevitably produce many people who take advantage of loopholes.Many people will find ways to put their assets under the name of the temple, and there will be many fake monks who escaped from the army.

All of the above are only part of the reasons for the extermination of Buddhas.

Looking at Anguo and Ruiguo, Zongmen also had a similar bad influence on the imperial court.

Looking at these hundreds of years, the court has made many attempts.

The establishment of the [Dao League] is one of them.

It's just that the time for the Dao League to be established is still limited, and those talented cultivation seeds are still more willing to go to the major sects.

This is like in the eyes of ordinary people, the major sects are famous schools, and the Dao League is just a new school supported by the imperial court.

All this takes time and precipitation.

However, there are still many masters in the Dao League.

Especially the Dao League in the imperial capital!
Today's Anguo Dao League has a total of five leaders.

Among them, three of them have reached the eighth realm, and they are the top cultivation giants in the current ranking, and they are the top experts in the cultivation world.

These three are equivalent to being the face of the Dao League, and they are gold-lettered signs.

As for the other two lords, one of them is the eldest princess of Anguo, and the younger sister of Emperor An's same father and mother.

The other is An Guo's general, Wuhou Xia Pan.

These two are the actual managers of the Dao League.

Of course, the real leader behind the Dao League is actually Emperor An, which is well known.

It's just that His Majesty the emperor will not come to the Dao League to be called the leader of the alliance.

Shen Bian looked at Situ Yu and said, "My lord, who is the sword master you found for me?"

Situ Yu smiled and said: "You are the root of the sword spirit, the treasure that the sword master of Jianshan wants to grab. You must know that it is not you who are looking for the master of swordsmanship, but the master of swordsmanship will come to find you."

"The strongest sword in the Dao League, don't I need to say more?" Situ Yu said.

Shen Banban nodded, she knew who it was.

His name is Murong Yuan, a sword cultivator in the eighth realm, and an existence as famous as the two sword masters in Jianshan.

Among the three eighth-level powerhouses in the Dao League, he is suspected to be the strongest, but he is in the most embarrassing situation.

Because his father is from Anguo and his mother is from Ruiguo...

His background is not very good, and he can't be said to be a good seedling.

But the Dao League needs a facade, a golden signboard, and especially a strong swordsman to compete with Jianshan.

You know, Jianshan is the holy land of swordsmanship in the hearts of all sword cultivators in the world.

If the Dao League didn't have Murong Yuan, then it wouldn't even be able to lift its head in one stroke of the sword.

It is true that although Murong Yuan's mother is from Ruiguo, he is not a member of their organization at all, and Situ Yu has never had any contact with him.

But it doesn't matter, who wouldn't want a disciple of Sword Spirit Root?

The entire Dao League is in a state of thirst for talent, this is the root of the sword spirit!Its nature is somewhat similar to the number one scholar in the college entrance examination.

"What's more, Murong Yuan's recent situation is very bad."

"Who asked his Wangnian to hand over to Xue Ping to dig up the grave of Emperor An's ancestor?" Situ Yu said in his heart.

If Emperor An really wanted to punish Xue Ping's ten clans, with the relationship between Murong Yuan and Xue Ping, he would definitely be on the death list.

Of course, Xue Ping is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and it is normal to have many friends.

Situ Yu looked at the girl and said, "As for your background, experience, etc., I have already made all the arrangements. Don't worry, others won't see any clues."

You know, she can be an official in the court of Anguo even if she is a secret agent of Ruiguo!

In comparison, Shen Banban is much easier to handle.

The pure desire girl nodded, indicating that she understood.

However, the sense of loss and regret in my heart can't be lingered.

She was suddenly a little lucky that the other party asked her name.

"He knows the meaning of Ban, and thinks my name is very special."

"If you think about it, will you remember it longer?"
