Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 502
Ma Ningyuan said: "I don't know what Junior Brother Fang said, but we will do our best to do it."

Fang Xiaoyuan said: "If it's for the selfishness of a certain person, how dare you bother you brothers and sisters. This matter involves the development and survival of our sect, so I boldly invite you to come and discuss it."

"To be honest, during the discussion in Qianxing Hall today, Master Wei Xuande has officially resigned from the position of head teacher of the sect, and the next step is to choose a new head teacher. This news will be sent to all halls and courtyards in a few days. Uncle Shi has made a preliminary agreement to start the selection of a new head teacher at the end of the year."

"Now that the demon sect is plundering, and the sect is in danger of survival, the position of head teacher should be occupied by those who are virtuous and capable. If a majestic Taoist sect can't even select a monk in the late Jindan stage, wouldn't it be Let the Demon Sect laugh at my sect, and tell other monks in Xingang what do you think of us?"

"Since all the brothers and sisters are people who are valued and trusted by the teacher, during this critical period, I hope you can support the teacher a lot. Fang is very grateful."

"This is my duty, what did Junior Brother Lao Fang order?"

"I'm waiting for Master Luo's kindness, and I will repay it properly."

"The new head teacher is chosen, and it must be Uncle Luo."

"Who is a virtuous and capable person, Uncle Sheluo?"

Everyone said one by one.

In fact, everyone had already vaguely guessed why Fang Xiaoyuan had summoned so many people who held real power in the department suddenly. Rumors of the head's abdication had repeatedly arisen over the years, but they never came to fruition.

Hearing Fang Xiaoyuan's words now, knowing that the headmaster has officially announced his abdication, and the new headmaster will be elected soon, they expressed their opinions one after another.

There is no doubt that Fang Xiaoyuan represents Luo Qingshui.

Given his status, it was impossible for him to canvass votes in person, so Fang Xiaoyuan was sent as a representative to contact them.

"Thank you for your kindness. The selection of the head requires the joint selection of all the stewards of each hall, academy, and department. It is difficult to achieve it with our own strength. I also ask all the brothers to do their best, understand it with reason, and move it With love, I persuaded the other brothers and sisters I have been friends with to choose a tutor, and I thank Fang in advance." Fang Xiaoyuan said, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.

"There are still three months before the election period at the end of the year. I hope you brothers can seize the opportunity. This is related to the future development and survival of my sect. Please do your best. On behalf of my master, I would like to offer a toast to you all." Fang Xiaoyuan said, and everyone again Had a drink.

After a feast of wine and dinner, it took an hour or two before they broke up.

Tangning returned to the cave, took out the mother-of-pearl clam and continued to catalyze irrigation without mentioning it.

………………

Qianxing Mountain, in front of the majestic and majestic cave, a ray of light shot towards it, revealing the figure of a man, it was Yin Qingyuan, the steward of Qingxuan Palace, with a wave of his hand, the talisman disappeared into the room.

Not long after, the thick fog billowed, and a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a tall and broad man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was Wei Xuande's disciple Zhuang Xingan: "Uncle Yin, Master invites you to enter."

The two entered the inner room and came to a pavilion of pink and green willows. Wei Xuande was sitting in front of a stone bench fishing, looking very comfortable.

"Master." Yin Qingyuan stepped forward to salute Jishou.

"Qingyuan, you are here, sit down!" Wei Xuande slowly put away the silk thread.

"Yes." Yin Qingyuan sat down as he said, and said, "The head of the sect announced his resignation today. I don't know who he intends to take over."

Wei Xuande smiled and said: "Didn't I say it before? Now that I have abdicated, I don't have to worry about other things, Qingyuan, you don't have to worry about me, just tell me what you think! Junior Brother Luo and Junior Brother Shi, who do you prefer. "

Yin Qingyuan said slowly: "Although the sect has no express regulations, the Taoist sect has always been taught by the master of the Qingxuan Palace. It's just a job, it depends on virtue and talent."

"If someone with a high level of cultivation can take office, why do you need everyone to recommend him? In my humble opinion, it is not necessarily necessary to overpower the crowd, what is needed is to be able to balance the forces of all parties and properly handle the affairs of the sect."

Yin Qingyuan was in charge of Qingxuan Palace, and if Shi Mingsui could take over as head teacher smoothly, according to regulations, he could be directly promoted to be the master of Qingxuan Palace. According to the rules of Xuanmen, the masters of the three halls were given priority to be promoted by the stewards of this hall.

And if Luo Qingshui is elected as the head, he may not be able to be transferred to be the master of the Xuande Hall, because he is not the master of the Xuande Hall, and his cultivation level is not enough, so a person may be selected from the three courtyards to serve as the master of the Xuande Hall. He devolved to the third court to serve as the head of the hospital. The position of the head of the three halls is much higher than that of the head of the three courtyards.

Today he supports Shi Mingsui, in fact, he is supporting himself in the future.

Wei Xuande said: "What you said makes sense. Since you think the tradition of Taoism should be maintained, you should support it! It is your responsibility to choose a new head teacher, and I, an idler in the mountains, will not participate."

After the two chatted for a while, Yin Qingyuan left.

………………

Zixian Peak, in front of the cave, a ray of light fell, showing the figure of an old man with white beard and hair. With a wave of his hand, the talisman disappeared into the room.

Not long after, a ray of light flashed out from inside, and a tall and burly man appeared, bowing and saluting: "Uncle Tong, Master invites you to enter."

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly, and following him into the main room of the cave, Ji Shou said: "Junior Brother Peng, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Peng Wanli stood up and returned the salute: "Brother Tong is a rare visitor, it is a great honor to visit the humble house, please take a seat."

The two sat facing each other, Peng Wanli flipped his hand, took out a jade pot, poured two glasses of wine, and brought it to Tong Quan'an: "Senior Brother Tong, how about this wine? I went to Tianfu Island a few years ago, Yuanming Chamber of Commerce My fellow Taoist gave it to me, it’s a rare item in Xingang, if it wasn’t for a distinguished guest, I would never be willing to take it out.”

Tong Quan'an drank it all in one gulp, the fragrance in his mouth rushed straight to his heart, his clothes in Linghai cave trembled slightly, and he couldn't help praising: "The fruit is good wine."

Peng Wanli poured him another cup, Tong Quanan took three sips in a row, put down the jade cup and said, "Today the headmaster announced his resignation, I don't know if Junior Brother Peng has any intention to compete for the headmaster?"

Peng Wanli smiled and said: "Brother Tong is joking, how can I have such thoughts, even if I want to, I am powerless."

"So, Junior Brother Peng will not participate in the selection of the head teacher."

Peng Wanli nodded slightly.

Tong Quan'an said: "If that's the case, then the candidates for the head fall between Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Luo. I don't know if there is a question I should ask?"

"Senior Brother Tong, it's okay to say."

"I don't know who Junior Brother Peng prefers more among the two?"

Peng Wanli asked back: "What is Brother Tong's intention?"

Tong Quan'an said: "Naturally, I am more interested in Brother Luo. This is not because of my personal relationship with him, but because of my heart for the public and the sect's plan."

"To put it bluntly, no matter who is the head teacher of the two of them, they can't do anything to me. Besides, I don't have much life, and there is no hope for the road. Now I am just waiting for death."

"The reason why I am like this is that when the Gein sect is in danger, you and I are in high positions and enjoy the salary, so don't you do your best?"

"Nowadays the sect is in crisis, with internal and external troubles, and the Demon Sect is coveting. The position of head teacher of the sect should be reserved for those who can. I don't have any personal grievances with Junior Brother Shi, but he is indeed weaker in cultivation. If he is the head teacher, wouldn't it be Let the Mozong laugh at me as no one? What will those cultivating families think?"

"These are real impacts that cannot be ignored."

Peng Wanli smiled and said: "Senior Brother Tong is right, I need to think more about this matter."

Tong Quan'an said: "Junior brother Peng has always been sensible, and you are the most fair and strict in the sect. I am laughing at what I said today."

"Where is it, listening to Senior Brother Tong's words is better than reading ten years of books."

Tong Quan'an knew that Peng Wanli would not express his opinion easily, so he didn't say anything more immediately. After talking for a while, they got up and left.

........................

In Jiang Mingdong's mansion, Cheng Shuimin from the Foreign Affairs Council sat opposite him, and said, "Senior brother Wei announced his resignation today as the head of the sect. I think the only people in the sect who are qualified to run for power are Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Luo. I don't know Jiang Ming. Who does the younger brother belong to?"

"What is Brother Cheng's intention?"

"The rules of the Taoist sect have always been that the master of the Qingxuan Palace was promoted to be the head teacher. Senior Shi Shi is not at fault now, and the management of the sect is well-organized. Even if the prince is abolished in the secular world, there must be a reason! Although senior brother Luo is better at cultivation , but has become the master of the Xuande Palace."

"Besides, selecting the headmaster is not about fighting against and killing the enemy. Wouldn't it be absurd to say whoever has the highest cultivation level should be chosen? Then why do I have to wait? I think Senior Brother Shi is more suitable, in line with our sect's consistent philosophy." Regulation."

Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "Junior Brother Cheng is right, but I'm getting old and my lifespan is short, so I don't want to get involved in these facts in the sect. If it wasn't for the fact that there is no successor in the Internal Affairs Department, I would have resigned a long time ago." In this position, let go of the mundane duties and take care of the rest of the world."

Cheng Shuimin also stopped talking, the two chatted for a while, and then left his cave.

………………

Middle Finger Peak, in Lu Guangdong Mansion, Zhang Yan and Wei Xian sat opposite each other, holding candles and talking.

…………

Tang Ning sat cross-legged in the room to restore the exhausted spiritual power in his body. The storage bag around his waist trembled. He took out the array plate and took the talisman into his hand, injecting his spiritual consciousness.

Outside the cave mansion, Zhao Liheng saw the thick fog surging, his figure flashed, he entered the inner room and came to the assistant room, Jishou said: "Senior brother Tang, I don't know what to call me for?"

"Liheng, you are here, sit down!"

Zhao Liheng took his seat as promised, and Tang Ning said, "To be honest, yesterday evening, I was invited by Senior Brother Fang Xiaoyuan, the deacon of the staff department, to go to his cave, and only then did I know that the head of the branch had officially announced his resignation as the head of the house at the Qianxing Hall meeting yesterday. , although this news has not been made public, anyone who is interested should know about it.”

"The head of the sect has abdicated?" Zhao Liheng was slightly startled: "Then who will succeed the head of the sect?"

"This is exactly the reason why I asked you to come. At present, Master Luo and Uncle Shi are the most powerful in Xuande Hall in the sect. If there is no accident, the task of teaching is only between them. The high-level sect has already agreed At the end of the year, the head teacher will be selected, Li Heng! Let me just say it straight! I hope you can vote for Master Luo at that time."

"Yes, I understand."

After the two chatted for a while, Zhao Liheng got up and left.

...........................

Just because of Wei Xuande's abdication, there was an undercurrent in the sect.
