The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

When Jiang Ning came to Mount Tai, he thought about sending a visiting card, just like the last time he went to Mount Emei. However, he thought that the Taishan Sect was part of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance and the Tianmen Taoists were his own family, so he didn't bother with any extra tricks and just went straight to their door.

Jiang Ning looked at Tianmen Taoist's haggard expression.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Master Tianmen has lost a lot of weight."

Chapter 293: Tianmen Taoist's Conflict

The Taoist Tianmen looked a little different from the last time Jiang Ning saw him. Now he was thinner than before, with sunken eye sockets, a slightly sallow complexion, and a look of depression between his brows.

It's only been two or three months since we last met, but Tianmen Taoist has become what he is now.

Hearing Jiang Ning say this, Tianmen Taoist shook his head slowly, said nothing, and asked a question.

"How is Jinyu's injury?"

Jiang Ning replied, "Senior Brother Li's injury has almost healed. He can go to Songshan with my master in June."

Hearing this, Tianmen Taoist nodded, as if it was just a casual question, and then introduced other people to Jiang Ning.

Then he introduced other people to Jiang Ning.

"You have never been to Mount Tai, and you rarely go out before. You don't know your uncles and aunts. Let me introduce them to you."

These old Taoists were the junior brothers of Tianmen Taoist. One of them, whom Jiang Ning knew, was Tiansong Taoist, who was lying on a stretcher during Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.

"This is your Uncle Tianyi, this is your Uncle Tianfeng..."

Taoist Tianmen introduced the people of his lineage to Jiang Ning one by one.

After learning that Jiang Ning came to Taishan Sect, Taoist Tianmen called all his fellow disciples from his lineage, intending to get acquainted with Jiang Ning.

"Nephew greets Uncle Tianyi and Uncle Tianfeng."

Jiang Ning bowed one by one as Tianmen Taoist introduced them, and the Taoist priests opposite him also returned the greetings, without being arrogant just because they were older than Jiang Ning.

"This is your first time in Mount Tai. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay here for a few more days. I will ask Master Tiansong to take you to have a good tour of Mount Tai."

After seeing that Jiang Ning had already gotten to know his fellow disciples, Tianmen Taoist began to speak.

"Okay, uncle."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Everyone walked into the hall together.

"Uncle Master, I heard that Senior Yu Jizi and his family contracted a serious illness and passed away?"

Jiang Ning brought up this topic on the way.

"Ah."

Taoist Tianmen nodded, his face a little gloomy.

Jiang Ning looked at his expression and analyzed it in his mind.

Judging from the mood of Taoist Tianmen when he left Shaanxi last time, Yu Jizi and the others were not infected with the so-called serious disease, but it was done by Taoist Tianmen.

It's normal to think about it. Zuo Lengchan sent assassins to ambush Tianmen Taoist and killed more than 50 disciples he brought with him, leaving only Li Jinyu. Even Tianmen Taoist himself almost died in Jiuhegou. This hatred made Tianmen Taoist return and not immediately organize people to seek revenge at Songshan Sect, which was already considered restraint. It would be abnormal if Tianmen Taoist could still tolerate Yu Jizi and other disciples who had surrendered to the enemy to live.

"Uncle Master, after Yu Jizi and the others die, I'm afraid their disciples will have other intentions."

Last time, Yu Jizi and his disciples left with the Songshan Sect, which also means that their stance is the same as Yu Jizi and Yu Panzi. Now that Tianmen Taoist has killed his uncles, their disciples will probably not let it go.

"I have my own sense of proportion."

After hearing Jiang Ning's reminder, Tianmen Taoist nodded, but still said nothing, obviously not wanting to talk about it any more.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ning frowned slightly.

If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.

If Tianmen Taoist doesn't deal with these people well, he will definitely suffer a big setback in the future.

Jiang Ning wanted to remind him, but Taoist Tianmen didn't want to say more, so he had to swallow his words.

After all, he is not from the Taishan Sect, so there are some things he cannot say.

Jiang Ning could only stay in Mount Tai for a few more days to see if the disciples of Yu Jizi and others would take any action.

Taoist Tianmen seemed to be busy with something, so he chatted with Jiang Ning for a while and then left, leaving Taoist Tiansong behind.

"Nephew, I'll take you to your room to rest first."

Taoist Tiansong said to Jiang Ning.

"Thank you, uncle."

Jiang Ning nodded and thanked him.

Taoist Tiansong brought Jiang Ning to a room full of ancient charm, and it was getting dark.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you should take a rest for a night. I will take you to visit the scenery of Mount Tai tomorrow."

Hearing that Tiansong was really going to take him to visit Mount Tai as instructed by Tianmen Taoist, Jiang Ning said, "Master, you are very busy, so there is no need to bother you. I can just take a walk by myself."

"No, my brother told me to take you there."

Taoist Tiansong refused directly without any room for negotiation, and his old-fashioned look was just like Taoist Tianmen.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning took a step back and said, "How about this? Let Senior Brother Faxing take me to visit Mount Tai tomorrow, so I won't have to bother Senior Uncle to accompany me."

Hearing Jiang Ning say this, Taoist Tiansong frowned, as if he was thinking.

After a long time.

"Ok."

Taoist Tiansong nodded.

"Then I'll have Faxing come to see you early tomorrow morning. Tell him if you want to go somewhere, and I'll give him instructions."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Master."

After sending Jiang Ning to his residence, Taoist Tiansong left.

Jiang Ning turned around and looked at the environment here.

This is a single-family house with no other buildings around it. It is planted with flowers and plants, and in the distance there are mountain scenery. However, it is dark now, so the view is not very clear. We can only experience this scenery during the day.

The environment and scenery here are very good, it seems that Tianmen Taoist specially chose them for him.

Jiang Ning then went back to his room to rest.

……

"Senior brother."

Several Taoists were sitting at a table nearby, looking at the Taoist Tianmen sitting in the main seat.

The person who spoke was a Taoist priest whom Jiang Ning had met during the day, named Tianyi.

"Junior Brother Jiang was right during the day. Yu Jizi and the others are already dead. We need to be careful of what Tian Qi and Tian Yi do."

Taoist Tianyi said with a worried look on his face.

Taoist Tianmen's expression did not change. After hearing his junior brother's words, he glanced at him with a calm tone.

"Now that Yu Jizi and Yu Panzi are dead, what else can Tian Qi and Tian Yi do? Don't worry too much."

Taoist Tianyi continued to persuade him, "Brother, Tianqi and his people usually oppose our lineage. Now that Yujizi and his people are dead, will Tianqi and Tianyi sit back and do nothing?"

The emotions in Tianmen Taoist's eyes kept changing, and finally he said: "What else can they do now? Didn't they do nothing when Yu Jizi died? Weren't they also quiet and peaceful?"

Seeing Tianmen being so stubborn, Taoist Tianyi sighed and continued, “Brother, if you don’t make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Just because they haven’t done anything now doesn’t mean they won’t do anything in the future. You have to know that they have already surrendered to Zuo Lengchan, and we don’t know what Zuo Lengchan will do to us next. They have more than a hundred people. What if they join forces with the Songshan Sect to attack us…”

"Then what do you want me to do? Do you want us to kill them all?"

Taoist Tianmen suddenly exploded, scaring several fellow apprentices.

"I know they have joined Zuo Lengchan, but there are more than a hundred of them. They are also disciples of my Taishan Sect. What do you want me to do?"

Taoist Tianmen looked at his fellow apprentices, his eyes reddened as if he had tears in them.

"They are not only disciples of the Taishan Sect, but also our nephews and nieces. I have watched them grow up since they were young. How can I kill them?"

Chapter 294: Climbing Mount Tai

Chapter 294: Climbing Mount Tai

After listening to Taoist Tianmen's words, Tianyi and the others fell silent.

To be honest, if they really had to kill all the people from Yu Ji Zi's clans, it would not be easy for them, but what could they do now?

Not only had the more than one hundred Taishan disciples defected to the Songshan Sect, but they were also hostile to the disciples of their lineage. This was a major hidden danger, but Tianmen Taoist was unwilling to deal with these people.

In fact, although Tianmen Taoist has a bad temper, he is an indecisive person.

In the past, when Yu Jizi and his brothers relied on their elder status and united to oppose Tianmen, Tianmen was indecisive and did not want to deal with these uncles. When these fellow disciples tried to persuade Tianmen, Tianmen always said that they were all from Taishan Sect and were one family. Even ordinary families are not all harmonious. It is enough as long as they can get along generally.

It was not until this year that Tianmen Taoist was ambushed by assassins sent by Zuo Lengchan and became so angry that he returned and killed Yu Jizi and other uncles who had defected to Zuo Lengchan.

But facing the disciples of Yu Ji Zi's lineage, he couldn't be so cruel.

"I know you are all afraid that Tianqi and his men will harm Taishan Sect."

Taoist Tianmen calmed down at this time and said to these fellow apprentices: "But no matter what, they are still Taishan Sect members after all. I believe they must have been influenced by Yujizi and his men in the past. Now that Yujizi and his men are dead, they should not do anything that is detrimental to Taishan Sect."

Taoist Tianmen's tone was very sincere when he said these words, and it was obvious that he was speaking from the heart.

"..."

Taoist Tianyi, Taoist Tianfeng and others looked at each other in surprise when they heard the words. After staring at each other for a few seconds, they stopped talking and sighed silently.

Before their master passed away, he asked them to assist Taoist Tianmen and run the Taishan Sect well. However, Taoist Tianmen was very stubborn and indecisive, so the Taishan Sect has become what it is now. The Taishan disciples of their lineage and those of Yu Jizi's lineage have become disunited, and in recent years they have been almost incompatible.

Although they didn't say it, they actually knew that it was Tianmen Taoist's fault.

Their senior brother is a good person and a good elder, but he is not a qualified leader.

To be a qualified sect leader, one must eliminate any factors that are unfavorable to the sect. In this process, there will definitely be some things that one is unwilling to do, but for the future of the sect one must be ruthless. Only in this way can the Taishan Sect go further.

But Tianmen Taoist couldn't do this, which made his fellow apprentices sigh inwardly.

But in fact, it’s not just the Tianmen Taoist who is like this, their master is also equally soft-hearted.
