Hidden moth

Chapter 291: A Thousand Years of Long-term Admonitions

Dan Qiusheng said loudly: "In the name of protecting the inheritance, you have seized the cave heaven, coveted the heaven's merits for yourself, and made all the magicians in the world worship you as the masters. You have deceived the world and stolen the reputation. This is the current magic sect."

Guo Qianhuai frowned and said, "What did he say? Why didn't I understand a word?"

Gu Chun: "He said that the Shu Sect was in charge of the major caves and was regarded as the main lineage of the Shu method. He was unhappy about this and thought it was not acceptable."

Guo Qianhuai: "Just because he says no means no? This isn't something we're exaggerating; it's the truth."

Gu Chun: "What he meant was that the facts are the facts, but the facts cannot be like this. Changes should be made."

Guo Qianhuai: "No matter how the Shu Men changes, these things can't be changed, right? Dong Tian is a tradition passed down from ancient times, and Shu Men is the tradition of the Shu method.

Take this little Danzi for example. If he crushes his egg, can he claim he's not his parents' son? The story goes like this: first, he has to be his parents' son, and then he has an egg to crush..."

Li Xiuyuan interjected, "His balls are still there, they haven't been crushed yet."

Guo Qianhuai: "I'm just giving an example."

Jiang Daozhen said unhappily, "Speak seriously! Why are you talking about eggs?"

Li Xiuyuan: "It was Xiao Danzi who started bullshitting."

Jiang Daozhen: "If he's talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense too. So if he wants to crush you, will you follow him? Isn't his intention clear enough? He wants to seize the cave heaven and make all the magicians in the world obey him."

Guo Qianhuai: "Isn't this just his way of making up our words?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Do you know how dirty water is thrown? It's to blame the other person for everything he has done, is doing, and wants to do.

For example, if Zhang San is picking on Li Si and is making a false accusation out of thin air, you can tell what kind of people they are by looking at what kind of dirty water Zhang San is throwing at them..."

These few words were communicated through the release of spiritual thoughts, so the speed was extremely fast, and so much was said in the blink of an eye.

Danqiu's face turned pale and he shouted again, "That's nonsense!"

Jiang Daozhen smiled and said, "Oh, you admit it?"

Master Danqiu didn't respond at all, and continued in a deep voice, "How can the sect prove that what I just said is not true? Haven't you stolen the cave heaven and deceived the world to steal the reputation?"

Jiang Daozhen: "You're actually trying to get people to prove their innocence. Can you please have some shame? On the contrary, you were caught red-handed trying to seize the cave heaven today. How do you want to explain it?"

Both sides are very experienced and the "debate" does not follow the other side's rhythm at all.

Master Danqiu shouted again, "The various caves were created by the founders of the Dharma, and were left as blessed places for future generations. This opportunity should have belonged to future generations of disciples, but you have monopolized it. Isn't this just coveting the merit of heaven for your own benefit?"

Jiang Daozhen also said seriously: "You are right in saying a few things. The major caves were opened up by the founders of the law. They are indeed a blessed place for inheritance for future generations. This opportunity should have been owned by future disciples.

But your other words are wrong. The Shu sect is not taking credit for the master's achievements. It is just fulfilling its own responsibilities.

The responsibility of the sect is precisely to protect the aspirations of the ancestors and ensure that the major caves will always be the blessed lands for inheritance of future generations of disciples, so as to prevent the sect's inheritance from being cut off and the blessings from being hidden, because there will always be people like you who want to seize them for private use.

Do you understand? We are on guard against people like you!"

Master Danqiu: "This is really ridiculous. Exclusive ownership is exclusive ownership. Why bother to argue? All those who have achieved success in practicing magic in the world are sorcerers. The blessed land and the opportunity to inherit should belong to all sorcerers, not just your disciples.

I, the warlock of the Xiaomeng, should also enjoy it!"

Jiang Daozhen nodded and said, "You are right again, but you got one thing wrong.

The so-called magic sect is the sect that protects and inherits the opportunity. It is not anyone's magic sect, still less is it my magic sect. It is the sect of magicians in the world. It is open to all and humble. Do you understand?
"As long as the sorcerers in the world break through the fourth level of cultivation, they can sense the call of the cave heaven. They can all come here to receive the second inheritance and become members of the magic sect. This includes both independent cultivators and disciples of the Xiaomeng. All are treated equally."

The Danqiu master sneered, "You are just bragging, but you can't do it at all."

Jiang Daozhen: "I can tell that you are speaking from the heart, you really believe it.

There are people in this world who, when they themselves can't do something, assume that others can't do it either. Even if others have already accomplished it, they refuse to believe it, believing it's just a pretense and there must be some hidden reason behind it.

Master Danqiu: "According to what you said, I am also a sorcerer and can also enjoy the blessings of this cave heaven inheritance."

Jiang Daozhen: "If you come here normally, as long as there is no bad record in your past behavior, even if they know you are a disciple of Xiaomeng, you can still join the magic sect to receive the second inheritance, and you can also get guidance from the cultivation experience of the sages of past generations.

But what are you here for? You're here to steal and rob! We have a duty to protect them, and we're here to guard against people like you... What would you do if someone came to Xiaomeng to steal and rob?

Master Danqiu: "That sounds good, but everyone can find an excuse." These words were spoken without using any spiritual thoughts. It was just a conversation that accompanied the fight. Among the four old men, only Jiang Daozhen was speaking.

At this moment, Gu Chun also spoke up, "It's very simple to prove. Geng Yanxin is the sorcerer trained by your Xiaomeng, right? He concealed his origins after breaking through the fourth level, but the sorcerer sect didn't find any bad deeds in his past.

As long as he doesn't violate the sect's rules, the Shu Sect treats everyone equally. He even became a deacon of the Dan Ding Sect... But his actions today deserved death, so I just beat him to death."

Master Danqiu: "You didn't have good intentions in the first place. You had planned to use him to set a trap like today, didn't you?"

Gu Chun finally sighed and said, "What about Qi Nansheng? He's also a sorcerer from your Xiao League, right? He's been in the sorcery sect for sixty-five years, and even served as the head of the Danding Sect and an elder of the Zongfa Hall. Now he's retired to live out his days in seclusion."

This light-hearted sentence contained so much information! Qi Nansheng, the Grand Elder and former head of Danding Sect, was actually a sorcerer from Xiaomeng?
Jiang Daozhen was telling the truth, but he did not explain some of the situations.

After Qi Nansheng broke through the fourth level, he accepted the call of the cave heaven and came to the Xianhu Cave Heaven, officially returning to the Shumen. That was sixty-five years ago.

At that time, the New East Kingdom had just been liberated and was still very poor and backward. After more than a hundred years of chaos, it had a lot of work to do. Under the communication and transportation conditions at the time, the sorcerers scattered around were basically the same as casual cultivators.

People from the Danding Sect investigated Qi Nansheng's past behavior and found that he had no bad deeds and had good character.

He claimed that he had met an extraordinary person in the martial arts world when he was young, and was fortunate enough to inherit the art of alchemy. Later, he persisted in practicing and broke through to the fourth level... This experience is similar to that of Chang Anju today.

Thirty-two years after returning to the Shumen, Qi Nansheng broke through to the sixth-level pharmacist level.

Another seventeen years passed, which was the forty-ninth year after Qi Nansheng returned to the Shu Sect. The former head of the Danding Sect, Lu Wenxuan, had no hope of reaching the seventh level. Knowing that he was about to die, he called a meeting in the clan hall and decided to pass the position of head to Qi Nansheng.

Qi Nansheng is older than Jiang Daozhen, but he became the head of the sect much later than Jiang Daozhen.

If someone is familiar with this period of history, it might seem a little illogical. Qi Nansheng had already broken through to the sixth level of cultivation, so why did Elder Lu wait seventeen years before passing the position of headmaster to him?

What is even more intriguing is that Qi Nansheng claimed that he was of little virtue and talent and firmly refused the position. What was going on? If he didn't become the leader, who would?
According to the tradition of the sect, the head of the sect should have a cultivation level of rank six or above, and after becoming the head of the sect, he would be ranked as an elder in the clan law hall. If Elder Lu abdicated, the only person qualified to succeed him would be Qi Nansheng.

If there is a generation gap in the history of the sect, that is, the sect leader passes away, but none of the remaining disciples has broken through to the sixth level, then a fifth-level deacon will temporarily serve as the acting sect leader, but he will not enjoy the status of an elder of the clan hall.

If a younger disciple breaks through to the sixth level, the current headmaster will be eager to step down so that he can have some free time and concentrate on cultivation.

It is said that on the night before the succession ceremony of the new leader, Lu Wenxuan and Qi Nansheng had a long private talk. No one knows what they talked about, but Qi Nansheng finally officially succeeded as the leader.

During the succession ceremony, Qi Nansheng recited the sect rules one by one and swore to uphold them, much to the surprise of the spectators. This was because this was part of the second inheritance ceremony for disciples who had broken through to the fourth level, and it was not included in the sect leader's succession ceremony.

Qi Nansheng also vowed to carefully observe the duties of the clan law hall and fulfill his duty to protect the clan. This is normal procedure.

But then he swore with tears in his eyes that he would never betray his martial arts or let down his master... This was just my own added drama, but the atmosphere was created very well.

Not long after Qi Nansheng succeeded him as the head of the sect, Lu Wenxuan passed away.

In fact, after Qi Nansheng returned to the sect, he had been living in seclusion and concentrating on cultivation, and not many disciples knew him.

After he broke through to the sixth-level pharmacist level, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile. Lu Wenxuan wanted to pass the position of the head to him as soon as possible, but Qi Nansheng had always refused to accept it until Elder Lu could no longer delay.

Qi Nansheng's tenure as the head of the sect was not long, only ten years.

Six years ago, Mei Guyu broke through to the sixth-level pharmacist level, but she was very young, just turning twenty at the time, and still lacked in many aspects. Qi Nansheng could have waited for a while like Lu Wenxuan.

Just at this time, Qi Nansheng had a conflict with Ye Fenghuang, so he simply resigned from the position of leader and went to live in seclusion in Taihua Mountain, passing the position of leader to Mei Guyu.

Looking back now, if Lu Wenxuan could have held on for another ten years, he could even have passed the leadership position directly to Mei Guyu, and Qi Nansheng would have been out of the question.

Hearing Jiang Daozhen's words at this moment, many questions seemed to be answered.

It was sixty-five years ago that Qi Nansheng broke through to the fourth level of cultivation and was sent by the Xiaomeng to lie undercover in the Danding Sect. At that time, the leader of Danqiu was not even born yet.

Those who knew about the incident in Xiaomeng at that time are no longer alive, but Lord Danqiu knew about it.

This is one of the top secrets of the Xiao Alliance. There is not even any archival record. Only the core senior members who have broken through the great success level know it, and they swear not to spread it to others.

Among the seven major schools of magic, Xiaomeng focused on attacking the Danding School and even found the right opportunity to seize the Xianhu Cave Heaven. The existence of Qi Nansheng was one of the most important reasons for this.

The previous leader of the Xiao Alliance had made a collective decision and ordered his successor to abide by it, that is, under no circumstances could Qi Nansheng be directly used as a chess piece.

If we plant people there but never use them under any circumstances, wouldn't that be a waste of effort? But we can't say that, the reason is also complicated, because the Xiaomeng has played a big game now, and the situation is likely to get out of control!
