Tian Yuan Xian Ji

In the majestic and majestic cave of the String Music Sect, Zhao Ziyi entered from the outside, and Jishou saluted.

"Junior Brother Zhao is back, sit down quickly, how are you doing? How are you negotiating with Emperor Taixuanzong, and what is their attitude?" Qi Yuanjin asked hastily.

Zhao Ziyi took a seat in front of him: "I have already said everything. The attack was indeed done by them. Their attitude is relatively tough. It is nothing more than for the tax payment. They ask us to pay the tax as soon as possible. The senior brother in charge How about Bian? Have you discussed with Qianjiazong?"

"I met the head teacher of Qianjiazong. He was very angry when he heard what happened to us. Later, I found out that Qianjiazong was also targeted by Taixuanzong. It was almost the same day that several merchant ships were robbed. , several places under the jurisdiction of the resource were attacked, and even the whereabouts of his disciples who are in charge of the teaching are still missing, I don’t know if they were taken hostage by Taixuanzong.”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziyi's expression changed: "The Qianjia Sect has also been attacked. If this is the case, they will definitely not sit idly by. I wonder what their attitude is?"

"Qianjiazong has already contacted Canglangzong, Xingyuezong and Jingyuezong, and is ready to put pressure on Taixuanzong together. In a few days, there will be a meeting to discuss matters. The head teacher of Qianjiazong invited us to participate."

Zhao Ziyi frowned and said, "I don't know if Canglangzong, Xingyuezong, and Jingyuezong have been attacked by Taixuanzong."

"I heard that Taixuanzong's action this time is only aimed at the sects stationed in the city pavilions below the C level. Not only the city, but also the Xuanmen sects in the nearby city pavilions were suppressed and attacked by them."

"What do you think, senior brother?"

Qi Yuanjin frowned and said: "If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause new turmoil. I am a little worried that once civil strife like Beihai County breaks out, we, a small sect, will be caught in the middle of them. It may be swallowed. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, neither to advance nor to retreat, no matter whether we pay the tax or not, we will inevitably offend one of the parties."

"What does the head brother mean?"

"The current situation is beyond our control. We should make two-handed preparations first. I have ordered people to transport the tax payable to the storage hall, and it can be delivered to Taixuanzong at any time. The most important thing is the attitude of Jingyuezong. If they Support us with a strong attitude, then take a look at the situation again. If Taixuanzong's attitude is tough, and Jingyuezong is ambiguous, I think there is no need to procrastinate any longer, and we should stop losses in time to avoid being attacked by them again."

Zhao Ziyi pondered and said: "Although the payment of taxes this time may cause turmoil and crisis, it may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For so many years, this sect has been entrenched in this pavilion and has not had the opportunity to develop outward. It is because of the four sects According to the established rules, if we can break away from Taixuanzong's control this time, with the strength of this sect, we can completely win the sect resources of several nearby pavilion cities."

Qi Yuanjin was silent and did not answer. He knew that Zhao Ziyi had always had great ambitions, and he wanted to expand and develop the power of the sect.

.........

Xuantang City, Gaofengling, are full of flowers and a peaceful atmosphere.

In front of the majestic attic, a ray of light shot down, revealing the figure of Fang Dasheng.

"Senior Fang, you are here." A man dressed in Jingyue Sect's costume quickly greeted him and led him into the inner room.

In the spacious and bright room inside, several people were sitting upright. On the main seat was a burly man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist. He was dressed in Jingyuezong's costumes. It was Zhang Yi, the head of Jingyuezong's resident in Xuantang City.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fang, for giving me this noodle, for coming to the appointment." Zhang Yi got up and stood up.

"I'm sorry, the headquarters suddenly has some urgent matters to deal with, and I can't get away. I kept all fellow Taoists waiting for a long time." Fang Da saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, Fang Daoyou. You have already given Zhang a big face by coming. Come on, please take a seat." The two exchanged pleasantries and took their seats.

"Thank you fellow Taoists for coming to the appointment. Today, Mr. Zhang borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. I invite you all to come here, mainly because of the entrustment of fellow Taoist Meng Xian of Qianjiazong." Zhang Yi nodded slightly towards the man with slightly white temples and a back-mouthed face: "Fellow Taoist Meng , all fellow Taoists are here, we are all old friends here for many years, if you have anything to say, you don’t have to hide it.”

Meng Xian said blankly, "Thank you Zhang Daoyou for organizing this meeting for our sect, and thank you fellow daoists for taking the time out of their busy schedules. Today Meng represents our sect, and I would like to ask all fellow daoists to preside over justice."

"Perhaps everyone has heard that seven days ago, two merchant ships of our sect were ambushed at the same time. Not only were their property destroyed, but also our disciples were also killed."

"A few hours later, our sect's two high-grade spiritual mines and three resource jurisdictions were attacked by unknown monks, causing our sect to suffer heavy losses."

"Even Meng's apprentice disappeared without any reason, and his life and death are unknown."

"And the instigator of all this is none other than Taixuanzong."

"I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Fang, what is the purpose of your ministry attacking our sect for no reason and killing our sect's disciples?"

Fang Dasheng said unhurriedly: "Fellow Daoist Meng said it was done by the headquarters, what evidence do you have?"

"Fang Daoyou wants evidence, that's good." Meng Xian turned over his hand and took out a token that was neither stone nor gold: "Everyone, please look, this is the fourth regiment of the fifth regiment of the first column of the fourth regiment of the Qingwu Battalion of Taixuanzong." The identity token of the head of the brigade, Bi Jie, is currently in our sect, does Fellow Daoist Fang need him to confront him?"

Fang Dasheng's face remained unchanged: "Friend Daoist Meng, what is the purpose of Qian Jiazong's kidnapping and detaining our disciples?"

The old man surnamed Meng said with a stern face: "Friend Fang, this should be my problem. Why did your department attack our sect's spiritual mine and kill our sect's disciples for no reason? Your department's actions are deliberately destroying the relationship within the Taoist sect. Doesn't the Ministry need to give our sect an explanation?"

Fang Dasheng turned his head to look at Zhang Yi, and said sternly, "Daoyou Zhang is inviting you to a grand feast today? If Fang leaves the precious land at this moment, will Daoyou Zhang make people take Fang down?"

"Fang Daoist, don't misunderstand, I absolutely have no such intentions. Zhang has made it very clear before that this invitation is for Qian Jiazong's request, to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. If you have other matters, you can leave at any time." Zhang Yi smiled and said, paused: "However, Qianjiazong is a Taoist fellow, why did your noble sect suddenly attack him? According to the Qingzhou sect treaty, this move by your noble sect is undoubtedly a violation of the agreement, and each sect should be given a reasonable explain."

As soon as his voice fell, another thin and tall man said: "Fang Daoyou, I am also very curious. Your Majesty is the leader of the Qingzhou Xuanmen, and he should protect the safety of the Qingzhou Xuanmen and maintain the unity of the Qingzhou Xuanmen. Why uncharacteristically launched an attack on Qianjiazong, of course we have to give them a reasonable explanation."

The speaker was dressed in Xingyuezong's clothes, and he was Zhu He, the head of Xingyuezong's resident Xuantang City.

Meng Xiandao: "Not only our sect, but also the String Music Sect of Huajian Pavilion was attacked by Taixuanzong. On the same day, two high-grade spiritual mines and two fourth-level spiritual veins were breached, and many disciples were killed and injured. Teach, tell me about your situation!"

Qi Yuanjin sat in the last seat on the left, watching the crowd attack Fang Dasheng one by one, and suddenly heard Meng Xian call him to answer, so he had to deal with it: "Yes, a few days ago, our sect was indeed attacked. An attack by a group of unknown monks, but our sect has no conclusive evidence, so it is not certain whether it is Taixuanzong's work."

Meng Xiandao: "Friend Fang Daoist, as one of the four great sects, the noble sect will never dare to do it or not!"

Fang Dasheng said lightly: "Since all fellow Taoists have asked the headquarters to give Qianjiazong a reasonable explanation, well, I would like to ask you, we had conflicts with the Chamber of Commerce and the Nether Sea Organization a few years ago, and we also robbed them There are fewer merchant ships, and several resource jurisdictions have been destroyed, why no one asked for a reasonable explanation for them?"

Zhang Yidao: "This is incomparable. There is no relationship between us and them. At most, it is just some business dealings. However, there is a clear agreement between Guizong and us. It is really against the rules for Guizong to do so. Zong has an explanation."

Fang Dasheng got up slowly and said: "Zhang Daoyou mentioned that the treaty stipulates that our sect has the responsibility to maintain the unity of Qingzhou Xuanmen and protect the safety of Qingzhou Xuanmen, but don't forget that the premise is that each Xuanmen must obey the arrangement of this sect and accept the sect command and pay the prescribed taxes to the Dzong every year.”

"Like those sects who committed rebellion, set up their own sects, did not obey the orders of this sect, and refused to pay taxes to this sect, such as the Hunyuan, Xingyi, and Taiji sects, should this sect also give them protection?"

"Everyone knows that according to the regulations, this year is the time for the various sects to pay taxes. Earlier, I went to Qianjiazong to ask them for the tax offerings that should be paid. Fellow Daoist Meng said that they could not produce so many spirit stones, and refused to pay the taxes to our sect. If he pays, his heart of disobedience is clearly revealed."

"I admit that the attack on the Qianjia Sect was indeed done by the headquarters, and the reason for all of this is that Fellow Daoist Meng Xian did not abide by the provisions of the treaty and tried to stand on his own."

"Everyone asks this sect to give Qianjiazong an explanation. Well, here, I will only formally express my position on behalf of Taixuanzong's team in Xuantang City. I will only give Qianjiazong one month's time."

"I will send people to Qianjiazong in one month. If they still fail to pay the due tax, then I will regard Qianjiazong's behavior as rebellion."

"I will write to the sect, requesting the abolition of the qualifications of the Qianjia Sect's Xuanmen. At that time, we will not only attack the resources of the Qianjia Sect, and Xuantang City will no longer need a sect like the Qianjia Sect. gone."

Fang Dasheng walked up to Meng Xian while he was speaking, and fixed his eyes on him: "Fellow Daoist Meng, I have a sincere piece of advice. If you are still not ready to pay the tax for Lingshi, then you should lead your disciples out of Xuantang City as soon as possible." , Consider whether to join the Demon Sect or other forces."

"After one month, if the headquarters does not receive the spirit stone, it will launch a thunderous attack on the noble sect's mountain gate."

Meng Xian's face was ashen, and he jumped up against the case, glaring at him: "Fang Daoyou, are you threatening our sect?"

The two confronted each other, and Fang Dasheng said, "Of course you can consider it a threat, but I'm just stating a fact."

"Fellow Daoist Meng, with all due respect, I'm afraid I'm not qualified enough to fight against this sect with mere Qianjia sect. Don't think too highly of yourself. Do you think you can keep you with just a few words from others?"

"This sect is going to crush you to death, but it's just an ant. What's so strange about the lack of a Qianjia sect in Donglai County?"

"Farewell, everyone."
