The Wushan master mentioned by Li Shuyang is Lin Dashan, the fourth elder of Guishan Monastery. His seat in the door is still higher than that of Li Shuyang.
Previously, Shen Hao asked Lin Dashan, who was working in the Jingying Mansion at the time, to help Zhang Qian and Gan Lin in the border army. Lin Dashan asked Shen Hao to accept the status of a registered disciple of Guishan Monastery, and indeed said that he wanted him to return. Enter the gate of Laoshufeng in Lishuyang.
In fact, the identity of a "named disciple" is no longer necessary for Shen Hao himself, because his current identity is a fourth-grade member of the Xuanqing Guard, and even the sect will never dare to attack him easily, so Shen Hao no longer cares about the secret threats against the Tian Toad Sect.
But this identity seems to have different meanings for Guishan Seminary and Jingjiu Dynasty.
Shen Hao can actually figure out the secret. It is nothing more than that Guishan Monastery hopes to have tentacles that can contact the power of the senior officials of the Jingjiu Dynasty and participate in secular power. This will definitely greatly increase the sect's influence in the Jingjiu Dynasty.
For Jing Jiuchao, having one of his own reach out into a first-class sect can also be regarded as tearing down the barrier of high-level sects. Firstly, he can master some information that cannot be obtained on ordinary days; secondly, he can also test whether there is any continuation. The possibility of reaching inside.
Although both parties are restraining themselves, they both hope that Shen Hao can take on such an identity.
Of course, all this is based on Shen Hao being a Xuan Qing Guard. If it were someone from the military or a local government official, perhaps the Jingjiu Dynasty alone would not allow it.
Now that Li Shuyang has confirmed it and put his name and soul wave in Lao Shufeng's disciple list, Shen Hao has been officially included in the category of "named disciple" and can be counted as one of his own both internally and externally.
Li Shuyang didn't have to do it himself. He ordered Nie Yun to do it. He also took away five jars of Wuliangye that had been brewed for three years from Nie Yun. His posture was so familiar that it was not the first time. Even though Nie Yun's mouth twitched, he didn't say much. It was obviously not the first time he had been robbed.
When Nie Yun put down his drink and left to help Shen Hao confirm his identity, Shen Hao was left behind by Li Shuyang.
"Sit down. Since you have entered my door, feel free to be casual. There is no need to be formal." Li Shuyang smiled and pointed to the chair next to him for Shen Hao to sit down.
Then Li Shuyang said: "Before, you asked Nie Yun to use the channels of Guishan Monastery to find out the news about the Shanlingwang family. I think it was a task belonging to your Xuanqing Guards, right?"
Li Shuyang asked Shen Hao as he expected. So he nodded and said: "Yes, Master, this time it is indeed a task related to the yamen."
The title changed. Even though he was just a "named disciple" in name, Li Shuyang just acknowledged that Shen Hao was Li Shuyang's disciple, so it was natural for him to call him "Master". However, this "master" is just a title. If you want to truly obtain the true inheritance of Li Shuyang, you must become a true disciple like Nie Yun. Generally speaking, Shen Hao, with his current status, can only learn and practice in the transmission hall. Not qualified enough to learn skills from a teacher.
"Can you tell me?"
It was precisely because he was not his direct disciple, and Shen Hao's identity was special enough that although Li Shuyang accepted Shen Hao's "Master" indifferently, he did not treat him as his disciple. Try to discuss it as much as possible.
"This...master please forgive me. This matter is a top-secret mission of Xuanqing Guard. Disciples dare not and cannot reveal it."
"Okay. Although you didn't say it, I can guess that your Xuanqing Guards are probably targeting the Shanlingwang family." Li Shuyang lay down on the recliner again, flipped his hands over and took a cattail leaf fan from somewhere and shook it slowly. , this cattail fan seems to be made from the leaves of the huge strange tree on the top of the mountain outside.
Shen Hao didn't say a word when he heard this, which seemed to be his acquiescence. Anyway, everyone in the outside world knows that being targeted by Xuan Qingwei will definitely bring bad luck.
Li Shuyang continued: "The Wang family is unusual. You Xuanqing Guards must be aware of the things they have exposed, so I won't go into details. I will just say that you definitely don't know the place. For example, the Wang family seems to be a A powerful cultivator, but in fact they are not. To be precise, they are actually an "outer sect" created by the combined efforts of several second-rate sects."
An outer sect spawned by several second-rate sects?
Shen Hao did not expect that Li Shuyang would reveal such shocking news as soon as he opened his mouth.
What is the outer sect of the sect?
Taking Guishan Seminary as an example, the entire Guishan Seminary is divided into "outer gate" and "inner gate". The outer gate is mainly responsible for contacting and dealing with the outside world. The inner sect, on the other hand, is not open to outsiders and is devoted to cultivation. Comparatively speaking, the inner door is much higher than the outer door. Most of the registered disciples are counted as disciples of the outer sect, and only a handful of them directly enter the inner sect and belong to a certain peak.
But both the inner and outer sects are part of the sect, even an indivisible whole.
Then the question becomes, since the outer sect and the inner sect are both part of the sect, what does this have to do with a family like the Wang family?
Shen Hao looked confused, and Li Shuyang laughed and explained: "You should have thought of the key point, right? How can the Wang family become an outer sect of the sect? Haha, this is actually a game between the sect and the Jingjiu Dynasty, right? Or it could be said to be a hidden move pushed by the sect..."
Following Li Shuyang's explanation, Shen Hao gradually understood the secret behind it.
The complex characteristics of the Shanngling Wang family were far more complex than he had thought before, and they were also much deeper. Even Nie Yun didn't know these inside stories. He only knew that the Wang family had a very complicated relationship in the sect. So this time when Nie Yun was sent away by Li Shuyang, he probably wasn't prepared to tell Nie Yun these things directly.
"Most of the famous mountains and rivers in the world are occupied by major sects, and the same is true for major spiritual stone veins. Although the Jingjiu Dynasty will collect some benefits from it and withhold some resources, it still cannot change the reality that resources are taken away by sects. . And looking at the entire Jingjiu Dynasty, each sect can only control the resources of its own one-third acre, which is actually only a small part compared to the Jingjiu Dynasty. So compared to the Jingjiu Dynasty , In fact, the sect felt that it was at a disadvantage.
Can you understand this? "
Shen Hao nodded to show that he understood.
So Li Shuyang continued: "Based on these reasons, the sect is also thinking about how to extend its hands to the places controlled by the Jingjiu Dynasty. For no other reason than to obtain more resources and feed back the sect. So there is So-called aristocratic families like the Wang family appeared. Of course, you can treat them as cultivators, but their roots are rooted in the sect."
