Chapter 50 Throwing a Stone to Stir up a Big Storm

In the prince's residence in the capital, there is a quiet place covered with bamboo trees. It is the place where the prince assigned the white-browed old Taoist to live. In terms of secludedness and comfort, even the prince's own pavilion cannot match this place.

The white-browed old Taoist master entered the golden elixir. This time, he was just feeling the changes in the country's national fortunes and seemed to be on the decline, so he went to the capital at the invitation of the prince to try to smooth the country's situation. He did not bring many powerful men down the mountain, except for the prince who invited him to see him on weekdays. He didn't go out either, but today he received a guest.

"Master Nephew, what's going on today?" The white-browed old Taoist asked while sitting on the futon, thinking about ideas without opening his eyes.

The guest has a pale skin and gray hair, and looks very old. At first glance, he looks much older than the old Taoist with white eyebrows. Although the old Taoist with white eyebrows has no hair and beard, his skin is as smooth as a newborn baby, his face is rosy, and his spirit is different.

But if you look closely, you can feel that there is a vague power in this guest's body, which prevents the body from decaying and aging. He is Bai Yu, the master of the Taoist Temple in the capital, and a half-step golden elixir like Wang Chuchen, who once had unlimited glory. , arrogant to his peers, but he did not survive the Golden Core Tribulation and almost fell. Even the Tao Yun he originally comprehended collapsed, and his strength dropped immeasurably. Otherwise, he would not have been pushed out of the inner gate and put in the capital to be the master of the temple. .

But Bai Yu's talent is indeed enviable. After his original Taoist charm collapsed, he experienced changes in life and the harsh climate of the world. His arrogance was much reduced. He actually re-understood the new Taoist charm and continued to practice all the way. Now he is a half-step golden elixir. , just one final step away.

"Uncle Master, we have found out the power of heaven and earth that swept the whole city before. There should be monks who are responsible for seizing the body." Bai Yu respected the old Taoist Baimei very much and explained every bit of what he discovered in detail. out.

He will never forget the scene when he failed to overcome the tribulation and was rejected by everyone. It was the white-browed old Taoist who left a way for him to survive and promoted him to the Taoist temple in the capital as the temple leader during the sect's discussions. Otherwise, he might not even have the chance to make a comeback now. nor.

The old Taoist Bai Mei nodded lightly and didn't take it to heart. Bai Yu was not surprised when he saw this. The old Taoist Bai Mei was a big shot at the third level of the golden elixir. He was about to break the elixir and become a baby. Not to mention he was just a monk with no way out who was forced to seize his body. Even Jin Dan's peers may not be able to make any waves in his heart.

The main purpose of meeting the old man with white eyebrows today is not Wu Yi's matter. This is just an excuse to the outside world. The key is the birthday of the king in the next few days. How to negotiate a palace coup that may involve mutiny. It was solved with a smile. This matter was related to the fate of the country, and even the white-browed old Taoist had to deal with it carefully, otherwise the country would be shaken, public opinion would be fierce, and the monk who instigated this matter would not necessarily have a good end.

Bai Yu took out a bamboo slip from somewhere. The bamboo slip was green and sparkling, and it looked like something extraordinary at first glance.

The old Taoist Bai Mei opened his eyes at this time, and did not pick it up with his hands, but his eyes were like torches, shooting a ray of light into the bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips were shaking, as if someone was reading them. After three breaths, the old Taoist Bai Mei breathed out. But with a bright light in his eyes, he said coldly: "The people in the cave are also involved. This is my Ping family's family matter, so my hand is stretched too far."

One Qi family governs the Three Kingdoms, and recruits disciples mainly in these three countries. Dayu Kingdom is just one of them. Among them, the royal families of the Three Kingdoms are all listed in the Thirty-Six Rich and Prominent Families. Of course, although they are collectively called the Thirty-Six Rich and Prominent Families, there are also some There are twelve great families and twenty-four noble families, and the royal families of the Three Kingdoms are listed among the twenty-four noble families.

This emphasis on birth and surname within the Yiqi Sect has also led some other small families to make many lists later. However, not to mention that they have not been recognized by the public, the families on those small lists have only been prosperous for tens or hundreds of years. , not as good as these thirty-six wealthy and distinguished families, which have been blessed for thousands of years and have endless heirs all over the world, each of them numbering in the millions.

This is the power of an aristocratic family. Opposing the aristocratic family is the master-disciple power. It is divided into five caves and twelve blessed lands. It recruits countless children of poor people with mediocre backgrounds but extraordinary talents, and even children of aristocratic families who have rebelled against the family.

The white-browed old Taoist would not fail to know that the current predicament of Dayu Country will definitely attract the master and apprentice Dongtian lineage to come out to interfere. Even if it can't accomplish anything big, disrupting his arrangements and humiliating his Ping family's face will be a pleasure.

Of course, the most likely possibility is to use this as an exchange to get benefits from the Ping clan. After all, if war breaks out in the Dayu Kingdom and new disciples are recruited from time to time, disrupting the inheritance, neither party can afford it, unless it is his Ping clan who will govern the country. The sect was so angry that the sect had no choice but to stir up trouble and force the Ping clan to abdicate, but this was obviously impossible given Emperor Shidi's popularity among the people.

The white-browed old Taoist thought about it in a circle, and guessed the thoughts of the master-disciple lineage. In fact, this kind of matter was solved in this way in the past, and there was nothing to say. It was necessary to consider the benefits of dividing it.

Just when the old Taoist Baimei was thinking about it, a flying sword flew from the outside world to Bai Yu. Bai Yu's consciousness hurriedly passed by it, his expression changed, and he put away the flying sword.

The white-browed Taoist saw the change in Bai Yu's face and asked, "What happened?"

"Uncle Master, the disciple I sent to guard Duo She Taoist returned to write and said that the breaths in the guard's body were fighting, and it seemed that Duo She was unstable."

The white-browed old Taoist sneered disdainfully and said, "You are really incompetent."

Knowing that the white-browed old Taoist was laughing at the golden elixir monk who had seized the body, even the younger generation could not suppress it. Generally speaking, the real difficulty in seizing the body was to deal with the sniper attacks from the power of heaven and earth, making the world believe that the original monk was dead. After the body was seized, The people are not the same person, but after hearing the news, Bai Yu had another idea.

"Uncle Master, the disciple whose body was possessed is called Wu Yi. He was introduced to the mountain gate by Wang Chuchen, the master of Yiqi Taoist Temple in Liucheng. I heard that he taught very carefully."

The upright body of the Taoist priest with white eyebrows slightly bent down after hearing this. He looked normal and asked: "Are you talking about Wang Chuchen, the disciple that Lingya really wants to recruit?"

Bai Yu dared not look directly at the Taoist priest with white eyebrows's hawk-like eyes, but nodded firmly and said: "I dare not deceive Uncle Master. It is indeed Wang Chuchen who was expelled from the inner sect three years ago."

The Taoist priest with white eyebrows stroked his white beard and said: "Is that so? He needs to be rescued. Take me there without delay."

Bai Yu was surprised by the Taoist priest's sudden action. In his heart, he just wanted to give it a try. He did not expect the Taoist priest to have such a big reaction. He was not expecting it. In his mind, Wu Yi was just a disciple of a Taoist who had lost his power. He heard that Wang Chuchen might have a glimpse of the secret of the golden elixir, so he did a favor to the old Taoist Baimei. He didn't expect the old Taoist Baimei to go there for this reason.

But the old Taoist Baimei was a third-level golden elixir cultivator, and he could get in touch with more inside information of the sect. Three years ago, Lingya Shangzhen was promoted to the cave heaven stage, which was the peak of this world. He had the strength to open a cave heaven and blessed land, but Lingya Shangzhen rarely recruited disciples in the past, and there were not many people to sweep the door.

Once he heard that Lingya Shangzhen had realized the cave heaven, countless cultivators in the sect wanted to worship Lingya Shangzhen. There were many people who admired him regardless of their master and disciple families. In order to calm the matter, even the head of the Yiqi Sect talked to Lingya Shangzhen about this matter and barely got a few places.

But Lingya Shangzhen himself wanted Wang Chuchen to be his eldest disciple, but Wang Chuchen was only in the foundation-building stage at that time, and even the third-level Jindan cultivators like Baimei Laodao wanted to become Lingya Shangzhen's disciples. You must know that they may not lack qualifications, but they can't get many resources in their own caves or families. In order to make further progress, there are countless people willing to become Lingya Shangzhen's disciples. Both the aristocratic families and the master-disciple lineage support this matter, and there are countless interests exchanged and games behind it, because if their children become Lingya Shangzhen's disciples, it will be easier to get along with Lingya Shangzhen in the future. The help of a cave-heaven stage is enough to turn the situation around.

With such a group of wolf-like brothers in front, Wang Chuchen's strength is not enough to convince the crowd, so Wang Chuchen was squeezed out of the inner gate and came to the outer gate to be the master of the temple. But there may be Lingya Shangzhen's intention to protect Wang Chuchen. If he still stays in the inner sect, he will be protected by Lingya Shangzhen. However, Wang Chuchen, a minor foundation cultivator, is still calculated to death, because at this time, it is the resistance of the entire sect. Even Lingya Shangzhen has to be careful to deal with it. After all, he must follow the rules of the sect if he is born in the sect.

Wang Chuchen cannot return to the inner sect or become the eldest disciple of Lingya Shangzhen if he does not enter the golden elixir. This is Lingya Shangzhen's compromise. Behind it is the thinking that the strong are respected in the cultivation world. Wang Chuchen needs to use his own strength to prove that he can become a eldest disciple.

Seeing this, the other Shangzhens did not interfere too much with Lingya Shangzhen's recruitment of disciples, so they each placed several children with excellent qualifications in Lingya Shangzhen's sect as registered disciples. They could only officially enter after Wang Chuchen became a eldest disciple.

This storm is still shaking to this day. After all, Wang Chuchen has not yet become a golden elixir. Wang Chuchen's trip to the outer sect is more like a training for him from Lingya Shangzhen. However, Wang Chuchen himself may not know it. After considering his master's origin, he still regards himself as a master-disciple lineage. The master-disciple lineage is happy to see this, and the family lineage does not point it out, waiting for Wang Chuchen to find out, and then he may turn to his family lineage.

It is a pity that the white-browed old Taoist did not get the opportunity to become a registered disciple of Lingya Shangzhen. It can be predicted that once Wang Chuchen enters the golden elixir, those registered disciples will be able to become formal disciples as long as they do not commit suicide. What an enviable title.

Even if he can't get the favor of Lingya Shangzhen, it is also good to have a good relationship with Wang Chuchen. The white-browed old Taoist thought to himself as he and Bai Yu drove the flying magic weapon to Wu Yi.

Just flying in the air in the capital, even if it was a body-covering spell, mortals could not see it, but people with the same cultivation could still see it. Soon, a rainbow light followed behind, obviously a sword escape, and it would soon be close to them.

The white-browed Taoist secretly hated himself for not asking about this matter earlier, otherwise he would not have to be so anxious now and be intercepted by his fellow Taoists, but he still had a blank expression, stopped flying, and waited for his fellow Taoists behind, ready to persuade this generation to come back, not to let them share their own credit, saving Wang Chuchen's disciples, what a good opportunity.

I just hope that this generation is not well-informed. The white-browed Taoist held the whisk, tightly grasped the handle, and prayed in his heart.

"Friend Ping, long time no see." The man wore a flying cloud crown on his head, a mountain and river red sun robe on his body, and a flying sword under his feet appeared with a blazing light.

The Taoist priest with white eyebrows bowed and said, "So it's Brother Xie Yi. Why don't you practice in Qingyang Cave Heaven and come here to take a rest?"

Xie Yi was not disturbed by the Taoist priest with white eyebrows. He just said perfunctorily, "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you going to do? I wonder if I can help you."

The Taoist priest with white eyebrows laughed and pointed at Bai Yu and said, "Nothing. My nephew Bai Yu got a Taoist book and invited me to read it. If you have nothing to do, you can go with me."

Xie Yi said meaningfully, "What a coincidence. I heard that there are thugs in the temple of nephew Bai Yu who have taken over the bodies of low-level cultivators. I want to bring the thugs to justice."

The Taoist priest with white eyebrows jumped in his heart. He knew that this generation already knew about it, so he pretended to be generous and said with a fake smile, "Since this is the case, let's go together."
