Li Shuyang leaned on the recliner and told Shen Hao about the Shanling Wang family in a leisurely manner. His tone was relaxed. He did not feel half ashamed because he had revealed a secret of the sect. Instead, it gave Shen Hao a sense of deliberateness. a feeling of.
But knowing these inside stories about the Wang family really did Shen Hao a big favor.
"But Master, why are there several second-rate sects behind the Wang family? Isn't this too complicated?" Shen Hao raised his own question. After all, if the Wang family is a sect used to gain benefits from the Jingjiu Dynasty, Of course, it is necessary to maximize profits, which is contrary to the reality of multiple backers.
To put it bluntly, in one sentence: more monks and less rice.
It's impossible for the sects behind the scenes not to know this, but several second-rate sects still stood behind the Wang family. What is the reason?
"Is it strange? Actually, it's not strange at all." Li Shuyang knew what Shen Hao was thinking without having to guess. He did not beat around the bush and continued to explain: "You are now also a person with greater authority in the Jingjiu Dynasty. Although you have not yet experienced all the strength of the Jingjiu Dynasty, you know a lot about it, right? Take a second-rate sect alone. It's not enough for Jing Jiuchao to come out. If he gets angry, he can easily destroy him by raising his hand.
The main reason why the sect can still stand still is because of the word "unity". Sects of the same level always unite with each other, and even some big issues can unite across levels to resist coming from Jing. The pressure of the old dynasty.
Survival is the top priority of all sects, so whether they are third-rate or not, or first-rate and super sects, they can be closely united, which has contributed to the strange situation in which the Jingjiu Dynasty and sects coexist today. And it continues for thousands of years to this day.
But apart from survival, if you want to live better, you need to rely on your own abilities. Working alone can easily be discovered and crushed by the Jing Dynasty, and forming too many cliques will weaken one's own interests. So limited solidarity became the first choice. It's just that some of them were done very well and have survived and were not known to the Jing Dynasty. But some failed and disappeared into thin air. Not only was the bamboo basket a waste of water, but the sect itself suffered heavy losses. As far as I know, there are no less than ten sects that were directly sealed off by the old Jing Dynasty through coercion or oppression. They either collapsed and disappeared, or they no longer entered the mainstream.
The Wang family is considered the best-run family, and the benefits of feeding back to those sects every year are no worse than the production of a large spiritual stone vein. Even after so many years of accumulation, several of those second-rate sects are already climbing towards the first-rate sects. Can you imagine how fat they are? "
The truth became clear when Li Shuyang said this, but it did not mean that Shen Hao had no doubts in his heart. It's just that it's not appropriate to ask him face to face, even though he is now nominally a registered disciple of Li Shuyang's sect.
The confusion on Shen Hao's face has not gone away. Li Shuyang naturally sees it, but he will not continue to talk in depth. This will involve more and more things, and it is not suitable to tell Shen Hao. . Of course, he felt that Shen Hao, who had managed to reach his current position of power in the Xuanqing Guard step by step, should be able to figure it out, so there was no need to elaborate on many things.
The topic returned to the Wang family.
"This is detailed information about the Wang family. Although I dare not say it is exhaustive, it definitely contains seven or eight points. It also involves some secrets of the Wang family and the second-rate sects behind it. Take it. , should be enough for you Xuanqing Guards to toss."
As he spoke, Li Shuyang took out a rolled-up document and handed it to Shen Hao.
The topic has come to an end here. The human relationship between Shen Hao and Nie Yun is settled.
However, although Shen Hao has not figured it out for the time being, he is sure that the Guishan Seminary represented by Li Shuyang this time is not just helping, but always adding fuel to the flames.
Then Li Shuyang changed the topic and asked Shen Hao some things about his practice, and gave some pointers on some details of Shen Hao's exercises.
The "Great Five Elements Technique" was redeemed for him by Nie Yun from Guishan Monastery. As the fifth elder of Guishan Monastery, how could Li Shuyang not know this technique? And with Li Shuyang's experience and experience, it is too simple for a poor guy like Shen Hao to practice alone. A few words can always make Shen Hao feel rewarded.
Is this the difference between being guided by a famous teacher and studying alone?
After staying in Li Shuyang's small courtyard for a full two hours, Shen Hao came out with a smile on his face. He had tasted the sweetness and became "really happy" about becoming a registered disciple of Guishan Seminary.
It was an unexpected surprise for Shen Hao. He had never thought that Li Shuyang would really guide his practice. This was much more comfortable than going to the Dharma Hall to listen to lectures.
After that, Shen Hao was called by Nie Yun to drink under the shade of the tree on the top of the mountain. Shen Hao did not refuse. Even though he now felt that the attitude of the disciples around Laoshu Peak towards him was much more harmonious, he had no intention of having a close relationship with them. .
These people are obviously used to the status of "monk of the sect". They are naturally estranged from "worldly people" like Shen Hao. Now the harmony is just Nie Yun's face plus Shen Hao's status as "named disciple". .
It's okay to have a couple of drinks and chat for a while, but if you really want to make friends, don't bother. Shen Hao, the dignified commander of the Black Flag Battalion, was not so easy to deal with.
Nie Yun and Zhao Zhiyuan were the only ones present who were sincerely enthusiastic towards Shen Hao. Nie Yun even offered Shen Hao a drink of the fruit wine he brewed himself, which he hid in the door, but he didn't even give it to the other brothers nearby.
Don't think that a mere drink is nothing. This is definitely the most sincere respect for a drunkard like Nie Yun.
The drinking almost didn't stop until the sky completely darkened and everyone left to rest. Some of the good ones even used their energy to wake themselves up and then started drinking again. The wanton appearance made Shen Hao completely unable to tell that these people were monks, which was very different from the monks he had interacted with in the past.
"Don't worry, they all have bad character. They grew up too fast in the past. Now they mainly focus on cultivating their hearts and becoming more comfortable with their hearts. That's why they look so wanton." Nie Yun explained to Shen Hao with a smile.
"Senior Brother Nie, how can we strengthen the cultivation of mind? I have never practiced it before and I don't know its method. Will it be full of flaws in the future and delay the foundation?" Shen Hao didn't take it seriously before, but now he sees Nie One of Yun's juniors in the lower Yuan Dan realm was stagnating in cultivation and waiting for his character to improve, so he had to pay attention to it.
According to the gain of the black beast tattoo, it will definitely take Shen Hao less than a few years to reach the Yuandan realm. Will he also have a lack of character and be hijacked by then?
