Chapter 617 Elders' Council
Yanxuan Tianchi, seven thousand miles east.
A big city stands tall, I don't know how thick it is, it is a hundred feet high, the walls are clearly defined, and there are mysterious patterns drawn in them. The spiritual machine is running, the spiritual light is shining, and it is heavily guarded. It is obviously not comparable to the mortal city. Even if those monks can fly over, They all turned off the light and went to the city gate to report.
This is a fairy city, one of the eight major cities of the Outer Sect of the Yiqi Sect. The city lord and a group of staff are all true disciples of the First Qi Sect, and their cultivation level is at least Jindan.
The City Lord is responsible for the identity verification of disciples, reporting to superiors for assessments, etc. In short, recruiting new disciples is inseparable from the City Lord. People in this position are replaced every three years, or every five years. There are very few people who can serve as City Lord for more than ten years. few.
On the one hand, it is naturally because these disciples came here to serve as city lords to accumulate good deeds. Good deeds are counted every three to five years. Once the good deeds have been obtained, there is no point in continuing to stay here. Leaving earlier will also make room for other disciples. Come, don't be jealous.
On the other hand, it is also because the eight cities in the outer gate are mixed with immortals and mortals. Although most of them are at the bottom, there are also big families. Many big families have their roots here, so they try their best to infiltrate and influence the selection of city masters, thinking that they are seeking privileges.
If the city lord's position is stabilized, it will be easy to become corrupted. There are many doorways here.
The city lord has great power, but the power of supervision lies in the hands of the Elders. This is a group of old disciples with no hope of progress. They have no desire to seek the truth. They are wasting resources in the inner sect. If they are not left to the outside, they can also teach new ones. Generations, they are lifelong.
The staff of the City Lord's Mansion changes every few years, but the House of Elders is ranked based on seniority. It is a mixed bag of good and bad. It is much more complicated. It is a House of Nobles.
Some elders have even reached the level of Nascent Soul. In terms of strength, the Council of Elders has crushed the City Lord's Mansion, but on the surface it is still the City Lord's Mansion that holds the most power. And behind the Presbytery is a group of aristocratic families.
Therefore, the real power in the outer city is still those aristocratic families, and they have divided the power.
The city lord of Liushui, the iron-clad family, the strength and weakness are obvious.
However, as the conflict between the Yiqi Sect's master-disciple line and the aristocratic family line began to take shape, it also affected these cities, with repeated occurrences. If a strong city lord came, he would naturally suppress those aristocratic families firmly.
The master-disciple line sends capable disciples to control the city lord's palace, while the family line controls the elders' house. The two parties are competing, and everyone with a little status knows this.
The confrontation between the master-disciple line and the family line is very miraculous, because this is not a situation that arises naturally, but a situation that is deliberately created by people. It is the eleventh generation head Chenzhuzi who wants to divert the internal battle between the main battle and the main peace. The contradiction between the two factions created a new contradiction.
Chenzhuzi is world-famous for cultivating his own disciples, such as arranging for Chenzhu's six disciples to take over, forming the foundation of the master-disciple line, and at the same time taking away Dongtian Shangzhen from the family lineage to balance the two lines.
It is human nature to love one's own relatives and children, and it is not difficult to understand when forming a family. However, even if there is a inheritance between master and disciple, it is impossible to recruit more. There are three thousand disciples, and the real true successor may only be three or two. There are differences between the two, but the former is bound to be more powerful. Don’t expect some registered disciples to be very loyal.
But in Yiqimen, although the master-disciple lineage is not as deep-rooted as the family lineage at the lower level, at the upper level, it is steadily overwhelming the master-disciple lineage.
If you want to achieve Dongtian, you can't just rely on a large base to accumulate it. If you count the real number of people in Dongtian in the four regions of the vast world, the land of Zhongzhou definitely accounts for the majority, and there are not a few living creatures in other places.
Chen Zhuzi's six-hole heaven is simply a miracle in the world of cultivation. Even if others have ambitions as big as Chen Zhuzi's, what can they do if there is no one to support them? It's just a dream.
The right time, right place, right people, and various reasons made Chenzhuzi able to realize such a large-scale layout.
Today, Xuan Xingsi wants to arrange a bigger plan. Wu Yi doesn't know where he is in the master's arrangement, but he knows that he must keep up with the master's pace.
Wu Yi is the chess piece of the leader Xuan Xingsi. At the same time, Tao Nu and Baofang Boy are Wu Yi's chess pieces. Those who scheme will scheme against others, and those who scheme against others will scheme against others. Things in this world are very magical.
But Wu Yi sent Tao Nu and Bao Fang Boy to inquire about the news. From a distance, the two looked like siblings, one was young and beautiful, incomparable, and the other seemed ignorant, honest, liveable, and extremely cute.
On the way, Baofang boy flattered Tao girl a lot, as if he regarded himself as a servant.
"Sister Tao'er, what kind of disciple do you think the real person would like to find?" Baofang Tongzi asked.
"This is a matter decided by a real person, what does it have to do with you? Just do your job well." Tao Nu glanced at Baofang Boy and replied sternly.
Baofang Tongzi was not angry either. He smiled and said kindly: "Sister Taoer taught you a lesson."
Tao Nu nodded with satisfaction and said: "The real person called me to inquire about the disciples of different origins. I think I have a feeling in my heart that there are talents and jade of different origins here. However, the talents and jade are placed in the bag, and they have not yet been Show your edge and show your clues. I think you are proficient in this, so I recommended you to the real person. You have to take a closer look. "
Listening to Tao Nu's threatening words, Baofang Tongzi repeatedly said yes, saying that he would not delay Tao Nu's errand.
"The real person still asked me to wait——"
Before Baofang Tongzi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tao Nu, who pointed out: "I am the real one!"
Baofang Tongzi still didn't show any anger, so Tao Nu, who wanted to take the opportunity to strike a blow, didn't find the chance.
"The real person asked Sister Tao'er to spread the news about the recruitment of disciples. I don't know whether Sister Tao'er wants to tell the people in the City Lord's Mansion or the people in the Elder's House."
Tao Nu knew a little bit about the key points of this place, thought for a while, and said: "The City Lord's Mansion is responsible for recruiting disciples, so naturally it should tell them first. As for the Elder's House, there is no harm in taking it later."
Baofang Tongzi gave his opinion in a timely manner and said: "These two families should not tell each other."
Tao Nu didn't react for a while and said: "No one will tell me. No one will know the real person's intention to accept disciples. Wouldn't it be contrary to the real person's decree?"
"It's not that I won't tell anyone, but I won't tell them to these two families. If I want to speak, just go directly to the Taoist temple and speak to the temple owner and a group of disciples."
Tao Nu thought for a while and felt that this was a better plan. She obviously didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the master and the disciples of the aristocratic family. No matter which family she fought with first, it would make the other family unhappy. Instead of doing this, she might as well find another family. One way to go.
Today is supposed to be the Chinese New Year, so I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
