Chapter 2293: The Imperial Master's Signature
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the magic weapon that Master Li summoned, and I'm afraid that Master Li's several Jindan disciples don't have a suitable one."
"Li's natal magic weapon was taken away by Leng Qingge, and I'm afraid it was sealed somewhere in Tongzhu Country." Li Xiang smiled bitterly, "After Li's cultivation is restored, I will go to Tongzhu Country and maybe I can get it. As for Li's several useless Jindan disciples, let them find a few magic weapons to use first!"
"Well..." Xiao Hua nodded, "You can tell Xiao Yao about this and ask him to go to the auction to bid for more useful magic weapons."
"Li knows!" Li Xiang nodded, and then Xiao Hua asked Liu Yi to call in many of Li Xiang's disciples. Each disciple selected a magic weapon. These disciples, even including those Jindan disciples, had joy in their eyes and bowed to thank Xiao Hua.
After all the disciples left, Li Xiang returned the remaining magic tools to Xiao Hua, and then said: "Master Xiao, I heard you say that you want to go to the Yaotai Conference. I wonder how much Master knows about this Yaotai Conference?"
Xiao Hua shook his head slightly: "Xiao knows very little about the Yaotai Conference. In addition to knowing that my Taoist monks must participate in the Yaotai Conference to become the master of a country, I also know the approximate location of the Yaotai Conference."
"Well..." Li Xiang nodded, looking at Xiao Hua word by word, "If I had not been to Heiyun Ridge before, maybe I would persuade Master to go to Yaotai to participate in the selection meeting. But look at the current atmosphere of Heiyun Ridge, and then look at Master Xiao's spirit of killing the national master of Tongzhu State, and... I heard that Master also erected a Taoist stele in the Qiyang Temple of Tongzhu State. Li advises you not to go to the Yaotai Conference and fall into the trap!"
"Ah?" Xiao Hua was shocked. He knew that Li Xiang was originally the national master of Li State, and must have participated in the Yaotai Conference. He originally wanted to ask for advice. But he didn't expect Li Xiang to persuade him not to go as soon as he opened his mouth, and also said that the Yaotai meeting was a trap, which really made him confused.
"What does Master Li mean?" Xiao Hua asked in a low voice after being shocked.
"To be honest with Master Xiao, when Li went to the Yaotai meeting ambitiously to compete for the position of the national teacher, he had the same idea as Master now, wanting to be a figure of the wind and cloud on the Tibetan Immortal Continent and make achievements that his predecessors could not..." As he said, Li Xiang's eyes also flashed a trace of enthusiasm, as if he recalled the glorious years of the past, but this enthusiasm was fleeting. Then there was helplessness and bitterness, "It's a pity that we took the wrong path at the beginning. How can we reach the peak if the direction is wrong?"
Xiao Hua looked at Li Xiang with a smile and did not interrupt him. Li Xiang's appearance was only about 20 years old, and he thought that he had modified his appearance after becoming an infant. But the tone was full of vicissitudes, and Xiao Hua also knew that Li must be a person with a story and more experience than himself. It would be of great benefit to listen to his voice quietly.
"Xiao Zhenren is not the first person who wants to walk the path of Taoism in this Confucianist continent.
He is definitely not the last one!" Li Xiang spoke again, "I remember when I had the same idea, to establish Taoism, promote Taoism, become a national teacher, and build a Taoist empire! Unfortunately, a Yaotai meeting brought me to the bottom. Although I later won the lottery for founding a country, the subsequent loss of the Li Kingdom completely made me lose the desire to compete for hegemony."
"What exactly happened at the Yaotai meeting?" Xiao Hua frowned even more tightly. He had heard what Qin Xiaoyao said before. It was not clear at first. Xiao Hua thought that he could just go and take a look and register with his own cultivation. Who knew...it would be so troublesome, Xiao Hua couldn't help asking.
"What exactly does the Yaotai meeting look like? It seems to be different every time. The Yaotai meetings that Qin Haoyue and Li attended were different. After all, ten years of planning are enough for the Immortal Palace to come up with many insidious ideas to wipe out the nascent Taoist masters. Even if Li tells you, it may not be useful, and it may even be harmful to you!" Li Xiang shook his head and said, "With Master Xiao's cultivation, it's better not to attend?"
"Ah? Ten years? Immortal Palace?" Xiao Hua was surprised and asked curiously, "Qin Xiaoyao said it was once every five years, how did it become ten years? Moreover, isn't this the matter of the Confucian cultivators in the Cangxian Continent? How is it related to the Immortal Palace? Besides, as far as Xiao knows, the Immortal Palace does not interfere in the specific affairs of the Cangxian Continent..."
Li Xiang sneered: "What Master Xiao knows is only the tip of the iceberg outside the glacier. Under the glacier, how can the full picture of the iceberg be known to ordinary people? The Cangxian Continent is a continent of Confucian cultivators, and the Immortal Palace is a holy place for Confucian cultivators. If the Immortal Palace does not control the Cangxian Continent, could it be that Lei Yin Temple controls the Tibetan Immortal Continent? Five years is a long time for ordinary people, but it is just a blink of an eye for cultivators. How can cultivators grow up? Only ten years can allow the Immortal Palace to hit the energy and harvest once! "
Xiao Hua instantly understood something, narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "So, Xiao understands. The so-called Yaotai meeting is the grand meeting of the Immortal Palace to strangle the fire of Taoism, and the position of the national teacher is the bait? In this case, why..."
"Yes, since you know that this is a bait, why doesn't Master Xiao give up the idea of going to participate at this time? "Li Xiang smiled and said, "Because this bait is really tempting! Of course, it is not ruled out that many Taoist disciples do not know the inside story. Even... Even Li has no real evidence, everything is Li's own speculation. "
"Lucky thoughts, considerable expectations, and unbearable curiosity all make people ignore potential dangers..." Xiao Hua nodded and sighed.
"Has Master Xiao heard of the Yaochi meeting?" Li Xiang suddenly asked.
Xiao Hua, of course, shook his head: "Xiao is rather ignorant. Before he concentrated on practicing, he really didn't know these things."
"It is said that any Confucian scholar who can cultivate to the realm of Literary Sage can receive an invitation from Emperor Gouchen and Empress Dongmin to attend the God-given feast in the Immortal Palace. This God-given feast is also called Yaochi because it is held in the Emperor's Yaochi. Li Xiang explained, "Participating in the Yaochi Society means that a Confucian scholar is of extraordinary worth and has been recognized by the Heavenly Palace. The Yaotai Society follows the example of the Yaochi Society. Any Taoist cultivator who participates in the Yaotai Society will be recognized by the Heavenly Palace." It can also be regarded as being recognized by the Confucian cultivator, that is, the Heavenly Palace.”
"This idea of learning civil and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family is actually the idea of Confucianism cultivators. It has been put on the heads of Taoist monks and has already changed the monks' concepts!" Li Xiang said again, "In fact, no matter what the real person is, Think about it, isn't it the Confucian cultivator's way of being involved in the affairs of a country? Isn't it completely different from my Taoist background? If a real person becomes a national master, how can he still have time? Cultivation? How can you improve your cultivation? Of course, it is forbidden to trade high-level Taoist skills on the Hidden Immortal Continent, but the Yaotai Association offers high-level skills as rewards. Although real people can obtain these high-level skills, ...The real person will also become a favorite in the eyes of other Taoist monks, and he will be constantly tested and harassed. How can the real person practice quietly? "
Li Xiang finally told his true thoughts. He was persuading Xiao Hua to give up the idea of founding a country.
"Si..." Xiao Hua took a breath of cold air, knowing that this was what Li Xiangliangli National Master had seen through, and it was also where the conspiracy of the Immortal Palace lay. The brilliance of the Immortal Palace was that one used the Yao Platform The competition in the association eliminated some Taoist monks, the second one used the name of national master to assimilate some Taoist monks, the third... In the battle between countries, the Taoist monks would fight with the Taoist monks again, and the fourth one used high-level skills as bait to attract the Taoist monks again. The Taoist monks are fighting hard, and with such heavy killings, it is no wonder that Taoist sects are not banned in the Hidden Immortal Continent. Unlike the Xiaoyu Continent, the Taoist sects in the Hidden Immortal Continent are still not prosperous!
Li Xiang really sincerely tried to dissuade Xiao Hua. Unfortunately, seeing Xiao Hua's expression change from surprise to calmness, he smiled bitterly again. As a monk, who is not a determined person? How could he rely on other people's words? Change your mind in just one sentence?
"It seems that Master Xiao still plans to go to Yaotai?" Li Xiang asked softly.
Xiao Hua nodded: "Yes, although Xiao didn't know that this Yaotai society was so particular before, he rashly agreed to Changling. Once you say this, you can't go back on it. Xiao must go. And Xiao himself If you want to establish a Taoist sect, if you don't have the intention to move forward, even a small Yaotai gathering must be avoided, how can Xiao stand between heaven and earth?"
Li Xiang shook his head slightly, why didn't he say such bold words decades ago? People, even monks, will never give up unless they hit the south wall with their heads full of bruises.
"The Yaotai Meeting is held in Yaotai Mountain. It is controlled by an organization called Xingjun Palace. The current master of Xingjun Palace should be named Kong Hongwu, and he is a disciple of a first-class Confucian cultivator family. This Xingjun Palace is said to be a hidden treasure. I don’t know who controls the Confucian cultivators in the Immortal Continent. In addition to the National Master’s Lot that fellow Taoists are concerned about, I don’t know who is in charge of the Yaotai Meeting. You can get them all. Even every few times, Xingjun Palace will take out some rare treasures from the Hidden Immortal Continent and put them on Yaotai Mountain for my Taoist disciples to compete for. The disciples of my Taoist sect killed each other back then... Oh, let's not mention it. These are some of my impressions of the Yaotai meeting..." Li Xiang sighed, took out the jade pupil he had prepared earlier, and handed it to him. Xiao Hua said, "Li knows that the real person's strength is far greater than that of Li back then, but the real person must remember that anything as beautiful as Lin Feng will destroy it, so be sure to keep a low profile! Those monks who surpassed Li in the Yaotai Conference back then... No one can get the seal of national master."
"Hehe, this is Xiao's specialty!" Xiao Hua took the jade pupil with a smile and replied. He didn't ask much about the Star Lord Palace and the exotic treasure. I guess if Li wanted to know, he would have written it down in the jade pupil. Internally, if Li Xiang doesn’t know, it’s useless to ask himself. (To be continued.
