Chapter 123 The Reasons for Soldiers and the Gift from the Leader

The name of the force "Heavenly Army" lingered in Yu Que's mind, making his gaze shift unsteadily.

"That's right. The only force that can compete with the master-disciple lineage and the aristocratic family lineage, and can suppress both of them, is the imperial court!"

Yu Que thought to himself, "Although I have become a lackey in the eyes of my master and apprentice lineage and the aristocratic families, I have joined the imperial court. However, the world today is still a world ruled by a single emperor. This is the right path!"

He was eager to respond almost immediately and asked the other party to continue to give him advice on where he should join the army.

However, Yu Que held himself back, because he still had a huge doubt in his mind that had not been sorted out.

"May I ask, Master, the lineages of masters and apprentices and the lineages of aristocratic families in the world are all being suppressed by the imperial army. Why did the two sides on Mount Huang fight to such an extent that it even brought disaster to the younger generation... Shouldn't they join hands to fight against the imperial army together?"

Yu Que cupped his hands and added, "Or is it because the situation on Mount Huang is special that the two sides are so hostile?"

Upon hearing this, the old leader chuckled:
"How about we fight together against the imperial army? Why do I always feel that you are quite rebellious?"

But the other party sighed and said, "You asked the right question, but your starting point is wrong. The reason why the Taoist temples in various places were divided into master-disciple and aristocratic family branches was because of the support of the imperial court."

The elder council chief paced and explained:
“There are only you and me here, so I won’t hide anything.

Every dynasty, at the beginning of its establishment, must have relied on the Taoist temples or clans in various places to establish a dynasty and unify China.

Otherwise, the Middle Earth is so vast and there are so many evil places that even if there were immortals in the world, they would not be able to completely suppress the evil spirits in the world and establish a paradise on earth. Therefore, every dynasty had to make peace with the forces in various places and divide up the Taoist palaces.

"Well, it's just like the ancient times when our ancestors worked hard to establish the country and enfeoff the princes." The other party touched his forehead, gave an example as if he had suddenly realized something, and said:
“As for my dynasty, we have learned the lesson of the previous dynasty’s fall. Since the beginning of the dynasty, we have attached great importance to the imperial examination and supported the master-disciple lineage in the Taoist temples in various places. The intention is to let the two lineages fight each other, and the imperial court’s troops will mediate in order to stabilize the overall situation.

Because of this, in all the Taoist palaces and immortal cities in the world, the master and the disciple are of the same lineage, and the two have never forgotten each other since the beginning, and it is not just Huangshan that is like this."

At the end of his words, the other party couldn't help but let out a shrill laugh, seeming to be extremely gloating:
"These two clans have had countless blood feuds over the past thousand years. Even if the spiritual energy is about to revive, they will never be able to join forces.

In fact, the situation you heard about on Huangshan Mountain is still considered good. The situation in some places outside is even worse, and there are even many cases of people hunting and killing each other's Tianmiao Dao seeds.
Once the spiritual energy is truly revived, I am afraid that they will choose to kill each other first, and then compete for the opportunity of spiritual energy revival."

After listening to the old leader's explanation, Yu Que was stunned.

It turns out that the reason why the master-disciple lineage and the aristocratic family lineage are so hostile is all because of the troublemaker of the imperial court. This has caused the gap between the two sides to be so deep, and there is such a split within the palace.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he found that the court's approach was indeed effective. Otherwise, the incense would never have lasted for nearly a thousand years.

When Yu Que was thinking carefully, the old leader, after laughing shrilly, suddenly sighed and said:
“It’s a pity that no matter how good the method is, it can’t defeat the passage of time.

The reason why I dare to speak to you so bluntly today is because the imperial court has long been in decline, with only a tiger's frame left. More than a hundred years ago, it was only barely revived... That's all, there are so many things inside, I'm too lazy to say more, you will know it in the future."

The other party stared at Yu Que and said: "However, heroes emerge in times of turmoil. The worse the situation is, the more our dynasty will promote people based on their talents, or in other words, they will try any possible means to cure their disease.

With the current Heavenly Master in the world, you are in the public army. Although the situation is more cruel than being in the Taoist palaces in various places, but in the army, talent is less important and only magical power is considered. Military merit is the first priority, which is very suitable for your background and background.

And most importantly, when you join the army, you are not separated from your career, but you can have both.

If you still want to enter the Dao Palace in the future, you only need to be at the top of the list and the imperial court will not collapse. Even if both factions dislike you, they will have to hold their noses and take you into the palace first, and then use means such as division, winning over, and suppression. "

Hearing this, Yu Que's eyes suddenly lit up.

If after joining the army he could really continue to take the imperial examinations and even enter the Taoist palace to gain the status of a so-called true disciple, then this would be exactly what he wanted.

He was still thinking in his heart: "If my estimation is correct, once you are in the government, there must be a set of inheritance system, such as the 'first in military merit' mentioned by the leader. Most people in the army rely on military merit to obtain various cultivation methods and cultivation resources."

In an instant, Yu Que's heart became even more restless, and he had already made up his mind to join the army.

He immediately bowed to the old leader and said:

"Thank you, Chairman, for your guidance!"

The old leader waved his hand, telling him not to be so reserved, and muttered:
"Although I left the palace a long time ago to retire, I still have a heart to serve my country, but I am a little lazy and don't want to get involved in too many petty things. Today, I can recommend you to the palace, which is a practical thing and a good thing for the court.

And you, after all, are Huang's only disciple, and considering his long-term respect for us, we have to keep you."

"Thank you for your kindness, President." Upon hearing this, Yu Que did not dare to be proud and thanked him again and again.

But after making the decision to join the army, he pondered for a while and did not immediately discuss the specific reasons with this person.

Seeing that the old leader was so knowledgeable about the situation in the world and the disputes on the mountain, he had another doubt in his mind and wanted to find the other party to solve it.

Yu Que narrowed his eyes slightly and organized his words.

Immediately, he half-truthfully revealed the matter of the "Taoist soldier". Of course, due to the oath he made that day, Yu Que did not directly say the word "soldier", but was evasive.

His main question was that since the master and disciple lineage were fighting so hard with the aristocratic families, why did they have to persecute a Taoist of the Temple of Heaven who had a "clean background" and "good family background" like him? This was completely digging their own grave.

“Could it be that nowadays, there are many people who can open temples, so the Huangshan master and disciple lineage has no shortage of people?” Yu Que spoke.

When the old leader heard this, a sneer immediately appeared on his face.

This person seemed to have known a lot about the "Taoist soldiers". After Yu Que pointed it out, he understood what Yu Que was talking about.

The old leader showed sarcasm and said:
"How much? Not much."

The other party paused, his eyes full of meaning as he said, "Yuque, please remember this, the closer we are to the revival of spiritual energy, the younger and more talented you are, the greater the pressure you will put on these old guys.

An old man like me has no hope of living to see the spiritual energy recover, so I have no plans. But those guys who are only half a step away from breaking through to the Yuan Shen, do you really think they won't do anything to prolong their lives?
No, no, even if it makes the gods and the gods angry, they must survive until the spiritual energy recovers and fight for the chance of immortality. "

The old leader sneered:
"If you are not given the bit in advance, once you grow up, regardless of whether you will compete for food or not, you, the descendants, may use the excuse of 'harming lives' to deprive them of their life-support methods or even kill them directly.

Especially the master-disciple relationship.

The elders and the younger generations of aristocratic families are all blood relatives, and there is some warmth between them. However, the master and the disciple originally had no relationship at all, and it was all maintained by inheritance. Now, in the face of the opportunity of immortality, this inheritance relationship is nothing. "

The old leader sneered, and then said coldly:

"Besides, the reason why that noble family is so vigorously planting trees today, how do you know that they are not planting trees for themselves? You know, they are all dear relatives and friends who are connected by blood."

When Yu Que heard this, his eyes flashed with enlightenment, and his thoughts were in turmoil for a moment.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense!

The group of old guys on the mountain are all on the verge of immortality, and are only half a step away from cultivating their primordial spirits.

Therefore, even if their life span is coming to an end, they will never sit idly by and watch the spiritual energy revive. They can only pave the way for future generations.

If they do not want to become the remnants of the old era, the masters of the two lineages must not only compete with each other for the opportunity when spiritual energy is revived, but also compete with the Taoist seeds and true disciples of their own lineage for the opportunity to live forever in the future.

Not to mention others, if you put yourself in their shoes and think about it, even if you have shortcomings, you can't guarantee that you won't be harsh to future generations.

In particular, Yu Que still remembered that the reason why he could open the Temple of Heaven today was largely due to the blessing of the ancestor of the Fu family!

Even a little fairy boy like him could get such a great help from his bloodline clan members, not to mention the group of immortals on the verge of immortality. They must have more ways to use their bloodline relatives.

"Who knows, the Lengtan Youshi who passed the county exam may have a connection with those old fellows from the mountain aristocratic families." Yu Que secretly complained in his heart.

In the quiet room, he let his thoughts flow for a while, and then he let out a long breath.

Up to this point, Yu Que had finally understood why he had gone up the mountain and was drawn into the turmoil and intrigues between the two veins.

He also knew clearly that if he really wanted to gain immortality in this life, his future opponents would not only be the Tianmiao Daozhong who were of the same era as him, but also the group of old guys hiding behind the Tianmiao Daozhong.

In other words, all those who can survive until the revival of spiritual energy are destined to be rivals of each other!

After all, even in the ancient times, when the spiritual energy was rich and the resources were countless, those who practiced cultivation were fighting for the chance to become immortals and refused to give in to each other. Not to mention the current times, when the spiritual energy is depleted and the resources are really limited.

Yu Que understood everything in his heart, and he bowed respectfully to the old leader again:
"I am deeply grateful for what you said today, and I will never forget it."

"Hahaha! Okay, okay." The old leader waved his hand again.

After receiving Yu Que's gift, the other party suddenly looked thoughtful again, muttering:
"You seem to be a polite and grateful boy. Since I have said so much to you for Huang Guishan's sake, why don't I give you some more benefits..."

Hearing the other party's words, Yu Que's heart moved and he secretly felt a sense of anticipation.

You know, the old leader is an immortal at the same level as the seventh student, and he is slightly superior to the other, and he is also a cultivator.

If any of these immortal figures slipped through his fingers, it would be enough for Yu Que to have a huge meal now.

However, the old leader stayed in front of Yu Que, with an expression of confusion and reluctance on his face.

The other person got off the bed and paced around the room, touching here and there:
"No, no, this inkstone has been with me for more than ten years, and I have feelings for it."

"No, no, this stool was assembled by me, and it's been around for years."

"This whisk..."

Yu Que stared at them, and suddenly there was something strange in his eyes. Because he looked carefully at the inkstone, table, stool, whisk and other things the other party mentioned, and found that although they all had some spiritual aura, they did not look like divine objects.

The old leader had a stingy and conflicted expression on his face, and he refused to change his mind and just give the money directly.

Suddenly, he saw Xue Zheng's family god who was left behind by his wife, and his eyes lit up.

The old leader immediately walked up to the black gas, held it in his hand, weighed it, and then coughed lightly and said to Yu Que calmly:
“The one who tied the bell must untie it. Although I am poor, the Seventh Schoolmaster, as the head of the county school, is extremely wealthy.

Tell me if there is anything you really want, and I will go and knock him for you. If not, I will try to raise the price as much as possible and use this thing to get you more money. "

Yu Que understood that the old head was reluctant to pay for it himself, so he turned his attention to the seventh school principal.

Just as Yu Que thought, the old head of the association wanted to avoid a complete fallout with the county school and break the local rules, so he had to return the family god. In this case, he just went with the flow and did a favor for Yu Que.

Moreover, with the excuse of surplus and shortage, the old head of the association could blackmail the seventh student even more fiercely. On the contrary, if he went to blackmail the seventh student by himself, he might be criticized, or even send the money back for nothing, without getting a penny.

In the quiet room, after hearing these words, Yu Que's eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed.

He stared at the black gas and blurted out:
"Replying to the senior, I do need something!"
