"Old man, you think it's Chinese cabbage. Hit it if you want."
Hearing Shenxuzi's words, Chen Changan couldn't help but whiten his eyes.
At the point where he is now, it is not that simple to fight with himself.
After all, in the past, he could have asked the Great Demon Kunhuang to help him put on a pretense, but that was not possible now.
The gap is too big. Once the performance starts, there will be many flaws.
On the contrary, instead of thinking so much about this matter, it would be better to just pretend not to know.
Well, yes, pretend not to know!
Soon, Chen Changan made up his mind like this.
In the Palace of Rebirth, on the third day after the Human World Taoist Masters Conference, [Ksitigarbha] Mao Ruxue came back.
The first person she met when she came back was Chen Changan.
"My subordinates pay homage to Your Excellency. I have lived up to Your Majesty's expectations. All nine Samantabhadra positions have been implemented!"
In the main hall of the Emperor Song Palace, Mao Ruxue bowed slightly to Chen Changan who was standing above him.
"Well, you did a good job." Chen Changan nodded after hearing Mao Ruxue's words.
"Thank you, sir."
"Ksitigarbha, I heard that you assigned a quota to a disciple of the Tianshui Sect, but is there such a thing?" Chen Changan asked. He mainly wanted to see how Mao Ruxue would answer.
Mao Ruxue nodded: "Sir, this is indeed the case."
"Oh? Why." After hearing Mao Ruxue's answer, Chen Changan pretended to be curious, and then said:
"You must know that good and evil do not coexist. We are only a sea away from that Confucian sage Chen Changan. We will definitely be opposed in the future."
"Don't you know that by doing this you are inviting enemies to us?"
Chen Changan said this very slowly, and it seemed to have the meaning of knocking.
"Sir, I know this, but it is precisely because I know that I do this." At this moment, Mao Ruxue didn't seem to be panicking at all, and she could only be heard continuing in an orderly manner:
"Sir, as you said, we are across the sea from that Confucian sage Chen Changan, and there will definitely be a battle in the future."
"But sir, you might as well think about it this way. In the future, our opponents will definitely not only be Confucian sage Chen Changan, but also the other ten traditions including Taiyi Sect."
"As one of the four branches of the Palace of Purity, no matter how we choose, we will eventually have to choose one among these opponents."
"In the opinion of my subordinates, instead of choosing those unreachable opponents, it is safer to choose the Confucian sage Chen Chang'an, because his sky waters are adjacent to our Sea of Death. Even if there is a fight, it will be Show some restraint to each other.”
"Besides, Shuishui was just a new force that day and would not cause any major damage to our Song Emperor Palace."
"So you went to fund them?" After hearing this, Chen Changan seemed to understand something, and then he continued to ask:
"I am very curious about your reasons."
After hearing Chen Changan's words, Mao Ruxue bowed her hands respectfully:
"Returning to your lord, I feel that it is good to have Chen Sheng as our opponent, but we cannot push it too hard. After all, he is the first person in the world to hold the virtual gods in his hand. This is a big trump card.
In terms of strength, it is not far behind even those ten sects such as the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. "
"This is a great enemy, but also a potential friend."
"It's true that good and evil have been in opposition to each other since ancient times, but what is right and wrong in this world is nothing more than different interests."
"So my subordinates feel that it is okay to give them some benefits appropriately."
"My lord, please grant me your permission."
After saying this, Mao Ruxue looked carefully at Chen Changan above.
Although she was still chatting just a second ago, she was actually extremely panicked.
Does what she just said make sense? Indeed, it does make sense in a sense. However, if you think about it for a moment, you will find that this is a paradox.
However, Mao Ruxue had to say this. In today's world, the unification of major events has become inevitable. Afterwards, all parts of the world will be plunged into war. This is an unchanging law.
As a person involved in the situation, the only thing she can do now is to prevent the Song Emperor Palace and Tianshui Sect from fighting.
As long as Song Emperor Palace does not target Tianshui Sect, it will be worth taking some risks for her.
However, whether it makes sense or not is another matter. Now that the words have been said, whether it can succeed or not depends on Emperor Song.
If after all this, he still planned to have a tough fight with the Tianshui Sect, then she would have no choice but to go with plan B.
"Shan, Ksitigarbha, what you said is not unreasonable, so I will leave this matter to you."
Fortunately, in the end, Maoruxue breathed a sigh of relief that Emperor Song above seemed to have adopted her suggestion.
Before Mao Ruxue could recover from the pine breath, Chen Changan asked again:
"Ksitigarbha, if I remember correctly, you are now in charge of the area around the Netherworld Sea, right?"
"Sir, that's right."
The Nether Sea area was the area that Mao Ruxue was handed over as soon as he took office. This area used to be under the control of the City God, but later the City God disappeared, so Mao Ruxue naturally became the great lord!
"I wonder if you have any instructions, sir?"
Chen Changan said: "From now on, you will have full authority to take over matters related to Tianshui Water."
He was delegating power and handed over all matters concerning Tianshui District to Mao Ruxue.
This also means that in the Tianshui area, Mao Ruxue is exercising the rights that represent him. In the future, there is no need to report to him like today, but he has the right to make his own decisions.
Moreover, these decision-making powers can represent the Song Emperor Palace!
"Thank you, sir!"
Hearing Chen Changan's words, Mao Ruxue was stunned at first, and then was surprised.
Chen Changan's words undoubtedly meant that her proposal had been passed. Not only that, she would be able to benefit the sect even more openly in the future!
It is simply exciting to use the power of Emperor Song Palace to contribute to the growth of Tianshui Sect!
At this moment, Mao Ruxue felt like she was about to ascend to heaven.
This Song Emperor is really a bit stupid!
"Okay, you go down first and let Black and White Wuchang come to see me."
"Yes, sir." Mao Ruxue obeyed the order and went down.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. On this day, Chen Changan was sipping tea on the mountain as usual.
Buzz buzz~!
Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard in the sky, and the figure of the ancestor of Jundao flew over in an instant.
"Haha, it's done, haha, Chang'an, we succeeded!"
Before anyone arrives, the voice precedes him. Before the ancestor of Jundao arrived on the mountain, his high-pitched voice had already spread throughout the entire top of Daozang Mountain.
Seeing the ancestor of Jundao coming, Chen Changan quickly walked up to greet him.
"I wonder what makes my ancestor so happy?"
Ancestor Jundao said with a smile:
"Haha, Chang'an boy, I have good news for you. The repair of the Purple Sun Immortal Sutra has been successful!"
"In addition, Chang'an boy, I have discussed with Junior Brother Tianjun. Now that the Immortal Sutra has been successfully repaired, let's find a good and auspicious day to join the sect."
"You are a Confucian sage and should be proficient in this inheritance, so please come and calculate for us when it is more appropriate to unite the sect."
There are only two things that the ancestor of Jundao wants to say. One is that the repair of the Purple Yang Immortal Sutra has been successful, and the other is that the combined sect conference of Tianshui Sect and Taiyi Sect is about to be held, allowing Chen Changan to choose a suitable time.
After hearing these words from the ancestor of Jundao, Chen Changan also started to make calculations.
He pinched his fingers, and the path around his body began to appear.
Confucian monks themselves have the ability to calculate, as long as they reach the fourth level like a Confucian master.
Of course, the ancestor of Jun Dao can also find someone else to do this kind of thing, but in that case there will be no such sense of ceremony.
After all, the sage master personally practiced it, and even if it were passed down to future generations, the Tianshui Sect's unification ceremony would be enough to remember.
After a while, Chen Changan came up with the results of his calculations. He put away his calculations and then said to the ancestor of Jundao:
"Old Ancestor, look at this. The fourth day of the lunar month next month happens to be a good and auspicious day. It is easy to open a sect and worship ancestors. There is also the symbol of dragons roaring in the way of heaven. We will set the date of joining the sect on the fourth day of the lunar month. In this case Ancestor, what do you think?"
"Good~!" The Jundao Ancestor naturally had no objections to Chen Changan's words, and immediately nodded and made the decision.
"However, the things in Chang'an this time are a little different from the past. I hope you can listen to what I have to say." However, after nodding, the ancestor of Jundao seemed to have something else to say. He looked at Chen Chang'an said.
"It's like this. After discussing with Junior Brother Tianjun, we both feel that you should open another faction in Chang'an."
"In the past, whether it was our Tianshui Sect or Taiyi Sect, we only had one faction, 108 Peaks."
"Since you don't want to go out and start a sect, then why not consider starting a separate sect within the sect."
"We have thought about it. The sect you opened will still inherit the style of Daozang Peak, but it will be separated from the One Hundred and Eight Peaks and become the new main peak, the same as Tianshui Peak. What do you think?"
Start a new faction?
After hearing what Ancestor Jundao said, Chen Changan hesitated.
If he wants to spread the Tao more widely in the years to come, then there is no doubt that this suggestion given by the ancestor of Jun Dao is a good one.
However, Chen Changan doesn't like trouble. Once he sets out on his own, a lot of headaches will inevitably come to him. That's not what he wants to see.
However, it doesn't matter that he is still within the sect after all.
"Okay, Ancestor, since you have said so, then I will open a peak."
In the end, Chen Changan agreed to Kai Feng.
He is destined to leave in the future. It is not impossible to leave a Confucian and Taoist heritage to Tianshui Sect.
"good good good good!"
"Chang'an, you finally figured it out!"
Hearing Chen Changan's words, Jun Dao Ancestor couldn't help crying with joy.
Although they are both within the Tianshui Sect, there is a world of difference between Chen Changan who built the mountain alone and guarded the Daozang Mountain.
As long as Chen Changan does not open the mountain alone, then he can only be regarded as a peak master of Tianshui Sect, and his power is only as much as a peak master.
But it would be different if Chen Changan opened the mountain alone.
After establishing the mountain alone, Chen Changan's authority in Tianshui Sect was equal to that of Li Daoran.
In that case, at this very opportune moment, he would even have the right to command all the disciples of the sect!
Of course, this is only secondary!
The most important thing is that after Chen Changan founded his own mountain, Daozang Mountain has the ability to pass on.
It can directly recruit disciples from outside, or it can transfer disciples from other peaks to become disciples.
From then on, Tianshui Sect was equivalent to truly having the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism!
This is a great thing!
"Chang'an, don't worry. If you want any disciples from the sect when you open the mountain, you can just pick them. Everything is up to you!"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to inform Li Daoran and the others to prepare!"
Ancestor Jundao ran away happily, thinking he was going to inform about this matter.
"Brother, do you really plan to open the mountain alone? Why?"
Mao Ruxue walked in and looked at Chen Changan with confusion.
No one knows this senior brother better than her, but Mao Ruxue knows that senior brother is the most lazy person, and the thing he dislikes the most is to care about this and that.
Before, asking him to open a mountain and recruit disciples was like killing him, but this time he is willing to open a mountain alone. Is this really the same senior brother I know?
Facing Mao Ruxue's question, Chen Changan nodded:
"Well, junior sister, I plan to open the mountain alone."
In fact, it makes no difference whether Chen Changan can open the mountain or not.
After he opens the mountain, Tianshui Sect will become a holy place for Confucianism. If he does not open the mountain, Tianshui Sect will also become another holy place for Confucianism.
Since the results are the same, why didn't he open it, as if it was fulfilling the old man's wish.
However, Chen Changan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of it.
What he originally wanted from the beginning was to help the old man protect the mountain and prevent the inheritance from being cut off. Who would have thought that in less than a few years, it would develop into what it is now.
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
Dangdangdang~!
The fourth day of the first lunar month of the Yang Ji Dynasty is coming soon. This is exactly what Chen Changan told the ancestor of Jundao during his fortune telling.
On this day, the square of Tianshui Sect was overcrowded, and the place was filled with disciples of Tianshui Sect and Taiyi Sect.
Yes, at this Hezong conference, all the disciples of Taiyi Sect came. They were wearing uniform immortal costumes, which were the costumes of Taiyi Xianmen after Hezong. They were very smart.
This time, it was rare that Mao Ruxue did not disappear. She had been busy in the Tianshui Sect since the first half of the conference. If it hadn't been for the nine golden armors of Jiuyi and others to stand behind her in the Ksitigarbha Hall, I'm afraid the entire Netherworld Sea is in chaos.
As the official leader of this Hezong Conference, Chen Changan also came to the center of the high platform early, sat upright, and looked at the people below.
As time went on, everything was ready, and Chen Changan was about to give a speech.
But at this moment, to his slight surprise, several figures appeared on the horizon.
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and others also came to participate!
