Chapter 835: Come to Plead Guilty
Although Shang Hongzhen was only the ancestor of Yuanying, the treatment he received in Yuqingzong was no worse than that of other Yuanshen. The guest house Shang Hongzhen was assigned to was just next to Zhenjun Qingxuan of the Arctic Sword Sect, and all the treatment was the same as that of the Arctic Sword Sect. It can be said that it was the highest treatment among all the envoys of each sect.
Even though Qingyue Sword Sect and Yuqing Sect formed an alliance back then, Qinghong Daojun was born and died with Ye Zan all the way, it was fundamentally because Ye Zan rescued Qinghong Daojun. However, it is undeniable that Daoist Qinghong also gave Ye Zan great help along the way, and was one of the biggest helpers for Ye Zan to go to the end smoothly.
Besides, Shang Hongzhen is now a great hero of the Qingyue Sword Sect. If Ye Zan hadn't been invited to heal Qinghong Daojun's wounds, where would the Qingyue Sword Sect be today. Today's Qingyue Sword Sect, although it is said that there is a gap in the middle, and there is no one in the Yuanshen realm, but Qinghong Daojun is enough. Daoist Qinghong is in the heyday of spring and autumn, and it is not so difficult to train a disciple in the primordial spirit state.
What's more, Daoist Qinghong is still in charge of Tiandao Mountain, which will also bring great benefits to Qingyue Sword Sect. It is simply impossible to talk about impartiality and selflessness. Unless you are a widow, whoever sits in that position will open the door for his own sect. Daoist Linghua was in charge of Tiandao Mountain back then, whether it was him himself or Jiuyun Sword Sect, they also benefited a lot during this period.
It can be said that it was because Shang Hongzhen took the risk to rescue Ye Zan at the Dao Discussion Conference back then that the Qingyue Sword Sect has undergone the changes it is today, and it also has a bright future. Otherwise, there is no prospect for the current Qingyue Sword Sect. Qinghong Zhenjun may die in a few more years, and Qingyue Sword Sect will also be reduced to a third-rate sect, sliding to the bottom step by step.
After seeing Ye Zan, Shang Hongzhen was also quite excited, and quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and said, "I pay my respects to Master Wuji!"
"Hey! Fellow Daoist Shang, you don't need to thank me. With the relationship between you and me, this shows that you are too far-fetched." Ye Zan looked a little strange, and while asking Shang Hongzhen to get up without courtesy, he turned his head and asked Mo Ru beside him: "Old Mo, my Taoist name has already been spread?"
Ye Zan has always been hesitant about whether to take the Taoist name "Wuji", especially since he has a giant panda named Taiji at home. However, if he doesn't use this Dao name, he really can't think of anything better. It's rare to have such a Dao name that can be recognized by others, and he doesn't know what to change it to.
This hesitation came and went, and the days passed day by day. Until now, seeing that the "ceremony" was approaching, Ye Zan still hadn't made up his mind. But obviously, he doesn't have to make up his own mind anymore, it could be that his Taoist title of "Wuji" has been publicized among the envoys of various sects.
"Hehe, don't blame the Taishang. I'm going to introduce the Taishang to the envoys of various sects, so I can't just call him by his name. Therefore, the Taoist name of the Taishang has been spread among the envoys of various sects." Mo Rushi He explained to Ye Zan with a smile on his face.
hear this,
Ye Zan knew that this time it was a done deal, and this dao name would become his code name for the rest of his life just like his name. Even, in this world of ascetics, the use frequency of this name is much higher than that of the name.
"Okay, let's do it like this." Ye Zan said helplessly.
Shang Hongzhen was beside him, listening to the conversation between Ye Zan and Mo Rushi, he didn't know that there were so many stories about this Taoist name, so he immediately complimented: "Zhenjun's Taoist name contains the true meaning of Dao, every time I hear It's like listening to the wonderful sound of the Great Dao, which makes people feel deafened, it's really wonderful!"
"Okay, don't say compliments, I don't need them between the two sects." Ye Zan could only wave his hands perfunctorily.
After chatting with Shang Hongzhen for a while and learning about Qingyue Sword Sect's situation, Ye Zan and Mo Rushi said goodbye and left.
However, Ye Zan's affairs were not over yet. Although he didn't need to visit anyone, he still needed to meet some people in the main hall of Yuqing.
Those first-class sects, such as the Five Elements Sect and Taihao Sect, although they had no friendship with the Yuqing Sect before, they are now on the same level after all. Therefore, this time Yuqingzong moved back to Tongtian Peak and invited all the righteous sects in the world to come to watch the ceremony, and those first-class sects also attached great importance to it.
Those first-class sects not only sent Yuanshen Da Neng as envoys to show their importance to Yu Qingzong, but also sent various gifts of sufficient weight. Therefore, even though he had no friendship with these first-class sects before, Ye Zan was able to meet the envoys of those sects just because of the gifts from each sect.
Next, Ye Zan spent two days receiving envoys from various sects in the main hall of Yuqing in Tongtian Peak. Although, because the relationship is not so familiar, there is not much worth talking about. However, it is impossible to call the people here, and then the two parties can just greet each other and finish the job, and it is quite time-consuming to be courteous.
"Old Mo, there should be no one there?" Ye Zan changed from sitting upright to slumped in an instant after sending off an envoy, and asked Mo Ru weakly.
This is polite, although it is not physical work, but it is definitely not an easy job. They obviously said polite words, and even said that both parties knew that they were polite words, but they still pretended to have something to say. Therefore, facing every envoy, Ye Zan had to put on airs and be kind, chatting with each other about those unnutritious but not boring polite words.
You know, even when Ye Zan was in the technology world, when he started the different-dimensional storage technology company, Ye Zan never had so many polite words with people like today. Of course, his company was suppressed later, and almost no one stood up to help, probably because of this reason, although the profit reason is more important.
"My lord, bear with it a little longer, and it will pass." Seeing this, Mo Ru was afraid that Ye Zan would become self-willed, so he would quit immediately, and quickly stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice.
Just at this time, a disciple of Yuqing who was in charge of reporting came in quickly from outside the main hall.
The Yuqing disciple arrived in the hall, glanced at Ye Zan who was sitting there paralyzed, quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Empress, Grand Elder, there is an emissary from the Taiyi Sect, Yuanyuan Zhenjun, coming to see you outside the hall! "
Regarding Ye Zan's temperament, Yu Qingzong knew quite well, so seeing Ye Zan like this, the disciples of Yu Qing were not very surprised. If it wasn't for Mo Ru being beside him, he wouldn't even lower his head to pretend not to see, and it was common for him to joke with Ye Zan.
Relatively speaking, in terms of etiquette, young disciples can't say that they don't talk about it at all, but it's true that they are not as easy to be restrained as old people like Mo Ruu. This point is similar to the world of science and technology. The older people are, the more they like to talk about some etiquette, while young people tend to appear a little "deviant".
"People from the Taiyi Sect?" Ye Zan sat up straight, turned to look at Mo Rushi, and asked curiously: "Old Mo, did you invite people from the Taiyi Sect to watch the ceremony?"
Mo Rushi's face was also a little strange, but he nodded and said: "Back to the Supreme Master, we did send invitations to Tai Yizong, but we didn't expect that they would really come to watch the ceremony."
The enmity between Taiyizong and Yuqingzong is not small. If Ye Zan hadn't exposed the death of Yuanzhen Daojun, Taiyizong might still be sitting in the seat of a first-class sect and enjoying the treatment of a first-class sect. At the same time, Taiyizong had suppressed Yuqingzong a lot before, and even destroyed Yuqingzong's hope, and made Qi Qianjun look like that. It can be said that between these two sects, even though they are both righteous sects, there is an intractable enmity at the same time.
Therefore, this time Yu Qingzong moved back to Tongtian Peak, even though it was due to the "harmony" on the scene, he also sent invitations to Tai Yizong. However, on Yu Qingzong's side, Mo Rushi, Wu Changsheng and others did not think from the beginning that Taiyizong would really send people to watch the ceremony. Moreover, what surprised Mo Ru even more was that the person who came to observe the ceremony from the Taiyi Sect was actually the most senior Yuanyuan Zhenjun.
"My lord, what do you think about this?" Mo Ru turned to Ye Zan and asked.
If there was no Ye Zan, Mo Rushi might have let Zhenjun Yuanyuan come in. Even though there was such an intractable enmity between the two sects in private, on the surface they still had to care about their fellowship. However, it was different with Ye Zan. He knew very well that Ye Zan was actually quite a vengeful person. It was enough not to drop a nuclear bomb on Tai Yizong. How could he give Tai Yizong a good face.
"Since you're here, let's see you. We must not let people think that our Yu Qingzong is unreasonable. Besides, I am also curious about what the people from Taiyizong are coming here at this time." Ye Zan thought for a while, but did not refuse, but chose to let people in.
"Disciple obeys!" Upon hearing this, disciple Yuqing hurriedly saluted and retreated.
When the disciple went out, there was a brief silence in the hall, and Mo Ru sat in his own seat, but the expression on his face seemed a little disturbed. Even though he also hated Tai Yizong's people in his heart, he didn't want to have any conflicts with Tai Yizong at such an important moment.
"My lord, if the other party is not considered rude, you might as well hold back for a while, and it will not be too late to settle with them later." Mo Ru hesitated for a moment, and then advised Ye Zan.
Hearing this, Ye Zan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't worry, old Mo, am I such a ignorant person? I'm just a little curious, what is the intention of Yuanyuan Zhenjun coming to the door at this time. Moreover, from my point of view, Tai Yizong may not be looking for trouble when he comes back this time, after all, the current Yuqingzong is not what it used to be."
"I hope so!" Mo Rushi still asked worriedly.
Not long after, the disciple of Yuqing who had informed him before brought the Supreme One Sect's Yuanyuan Zhenjun to the main hall of Yuqing, led them into the hall and retreated.
That Yuanyuan Zhenjun, and Yuanzhen Daojun are brothers, they are considered the highest seniority in the Taiyi Sect, and at the same time, they are also "retired years" in the Yuanshen Realm. In particular, after going through the underworld incident, seeing his disciple Qianmu Zhenjun being murdered in front of his eyes by the evil spirits from the sky, he was even more shocked. At this time, he already showed his old appearance, and there was hardly any difference between him and the secular old man in his dying years.
After arriving at the main hall of Yuqing, Zhenjun Yuanyuan looked up at Ye Zan and Mo Rushi, bowed his hands and saluted, "I have seen Zhenjun Wuji, Zhenjun Hushan!"
Looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that he didn't come here to find something. Mo Ru immediately felt relieved, stood up and bowed his hands, and said: "Zhen Yuan Yuan came here, and I have lost my way to welcome you. Please forgive me." .”
And Ye Zan, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't stand up, but sat there waving his hands, and said lightly: "You don't need to be polite, please sit down!"
Strictly speaking, Ye Zan's behavior is not considered rude, after all, in terms of seniority, he is still above Yuanyuan Zhenjun. Although the two sects are not of the same origin, they are both of the orthodox sect, so the nominal seniority can still be discussed. For example, Xuanyuan Daozu of Yuqingzong is a figure of the same generation as Taiyizong's ancestor ten thousand years ago, so people on Taiyizong's side face Xuanyuan Daozu, naturally they have to treat each other with the courtesy of their predecessors .
Therefore, Ye Zan, as a disciple of Xuanyuan Daozu, put on the airs of an elder in front of Yuanyuan Zhenjun, and no one would make a fuss about it. At best, it can be said that Ye Zan seems a little unkind, but the problem is that it is normal to be unkind due to the relationship between Yuqingzong and Taiyizong.
"Thank you, Zhenjun Wuji!" Zhenjun Yuanyuan didn't say anything, and bowed his hands to Ye Zan again, turned around and sat down on the chair next to the hall.
Seeing Zhenjun Yuanyuan's appearance, Ye Zan couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do this time, could it be that he really just came to watch the ceremony? Fortunately, the person is right in front of him. If he doesn't understand something in his mind, he can just ask the other person directly, and the other party will explain his intention after all.
So, when Zhenjun Yuanyuan sat down, Ye Zan didn't have any polite greetings, and asked directly: "I am afraid that Zhenjun Yuanyuan came here this time just to watch the ceremony, right?"
Hearing that Ye Zan directly asked the question, Zhenjun Yuanyuan was not too surprised, but immediately stood up again, cupped his hands and said to Ye Zan: "Return to Zhenjun Wuji, this old man came to Guizong this time, it is indeed true that I am invited to watch the ceremony. It's just one of them, the more important thing is... I want to plead guilty to the noble sect!"
"Haha, where did Zhenjun Yuanyuan say this? I belong to the righteous way, and my sect has been taken care of by the noble sect in the past. Where did this apology come from?" Ye Zan didn't believe the other party's words. But he didn't want to let Tai Yizong go just like that. Just kidding, can the enmity between Taiyizong and Yuqingzong be resolved with a single plea?
"Yeah, Yuanyuan Zhenjun's words are a little too much." Mo Rushi also agreed with a cold face beside him. Qi Qianjun was his apprentice, and was once the hope of Yuqingzong, but he was killed by Taiyizong's people in that way. Although Qi Qianjun has recovered now, it does not mean that this hatred can be dismissed lightly.
