The Strongest Daoist in the Heavens

Chapter 141
"In fact, within Taoism, there have always been three veins of 'Heaven, Earth, and Man', named 'Three Talents', regardless of priority." Bei Mingzi said: "The leader of Taoism uses the three veins to determine the winner. The branch of Taoism will become the main branch during his tenure as the leader. When he resigns or dies, he will re-elect a new leader and main branch, and the cycle will repeat, so that the entire Taoist school can ensure long-term survival in the competition."

Li He nodded when he heard this, and said: "With this selection, as long as justice can be maintained, Taoism can indeed prosper for a long time."

Only with competition can there be progress.

With the promotion of benign internal competition, if not getting stronger, at least it can not decline.

"Relying on this special competition mechanism and the balance of the three veins, although Taoism has not flourished over the years, it has steadily strengthened. Even if a Yinyang school was split 500 years ago, it did not affect itself at all." Bei Mingzi added. : "However, 300 years ago, when the 'Li Er' who was not a member of the three veins, but swept all the three veins with absolute strength appeared, the original balance of Taoism was broken."

Li He smiled, but did not speak.

It is a kind of luck to be born in the same era as Li Er, but it is also a kind of sadness.

One can imagine what kind of feeling it would be when the disciples of the three veins of heaven, earth, and man met Li Er, who is like Lao Tzu, during the Daoist Grand Competition.

Those with a slightly weaker mind would probably be hit to the point of doubting life.

"Li Er brought Taoism to an unprecedented peak, and also established Taoism's position as the 'top of a hundred schools'. To be honest, apart from Confucianism, even Mohism, which is now in the limelight, is far from comparable to Taoism at that time. Than." Bei Mingzi said: "However, also because Li Er's prestige is too strong and his ability is too strong, even if he disappears, we can't elect a new leader. Go out and change into the two sects of heaven and man."

Hearing this, Li He was a little emotional, but frowned and said, "Why did the three veins just split into two?"

"Because of Dizong, they betrayed Taoism!" Bei Mingzi said with a gloomy face: "Taoist disciples can serve anyone, they can set up their own family to start a Yin-Yang family, and they can do casual cultivators without asking anything, just practice and practice on their own. The leaders of the Taoist school ignore it, but they must not massacre disciples of the same sect for their own selfish desires!"

"Massacre?" Li He couldn't help being taken aback.

Among the schools of thought in this era, as long as there are a little more people, one disciple protects the state of Qin, and that disciple protects the state of Zhao. Fighting with each other is nothing.Even if they killed each other in a fight, it was still a good story in a rivalry, and they would not be reviled.

Because everyone knows clearly that there is no room for soft-heartedness in disputes between countries.

Now that you choose, you have to bear all the consequences of your choice, even if you die, you can't blame anyone.

However, fighting each other and massacring fellow sects is not the same - even Taoists who advocate inaction and rule with few sect rules cannot tolerate massacres of fellow sects by their own disciples.

That was no longer a fight, but a betrayal.

"Yes, massacres." Bei Mingzi said: "About 250 years ago, when Lao Tzu disappeared and the three sects were divided for more than [-] years, a large group of Taoist disciples went out to the Zhou royal family, wanting to regain the world and continue the Zhou Dynasty. But Dizong did not know where he pulled out the phrase "the destiny cannot be violated". Without any prior notice, he slaughtered all the disciples who joined the Zhou royal family, and even wiped out all the chickens and dogs. Keep."

Li He was taken aback again when he heard this.

The Taoists who advocate quietness and inaction, if they don't have deep hatred, they don't even know how to kill people. What kind of behavior is it to destroy the whole family?Is it a disciple of the Taoist school or a disciple of the "devil" school?

Are the Dizong people crazy?
"Afterwards we found out that they believed in the so-called 'Mandate of Heaven' and wanted Taoism to be the spokesperson of 'Heaven'." Bei Mingzi continued: "However, not to mention that Mandate of Heaven does not need to be believed, and Taoism doesn't need to be anyone. Even if you really have a destiny, you really have a destiny, can you massacre fellow disciples? Dizong’s behavior is no longer a fight, but a betrayal!"

"After that, how did you deal with it?" Li He asked.

"How else can we deal with it? Of course, the two sects of heaven and man joined forces to wipe out the sect of the earth and clean up the sect!" Bei Mingzi said: "It's just that the sect of heaven and man was one of the three lines of Taoism after all. Even if the two sects of heaven and man joined forces , and only severely damaged them, but did not wipe them out. Later, they turned from light to darkness, and their strength did not decrease but increased. After years of development, no one knows to what extent they have reached. "

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and said again: "The only thing I can be sure of is that the head of the Dizong 300 years ago is still alive!"

"Immortal?" Li He's eyes lit up involuntarily.

If someone in the Dizong lives forever, it is very likely that he has come into contact with the upper layer of this world and touched the "spirit".After all, in a world that is only at the "Golden Core" level, at least the immortals who have started "refining Qi" are far from the Golden Core gods.

Furthermore, only those who know something will warn Luo Wang not to investigate.

"The Dizong hides too deeply. If they don't take the initiative to jump out, even our Heaven and Man sects can't find their trace." Bei Mingzi added: "But whether they can be found or not, their There is no doubt about its strength, and its warnings deserve caution.”

Hearing this, Li He smiled and ordered Li Si and Zhao Gao to start investigating the "dizong".

He doesn't believe that there are still people who can't be found in this world.

As long as you have to eat, drink, and scatter, even if it is as secret as the gate of heaven, won't it be easy for the world to find it?

Li Si and Zhao Gao's handling ability is not worse than Wen Chou Chou, there is no reason why they can't find it.

"By the way, the old man recently found a good seedling, but because he is too old and doesn't have the energy to teach, I don't know if the teacher is interested in accepting disciples?" Bei Mingzi said suddenly.

When Li He heard this, he asked doubtfully: "Anyone can do this kind of thing like recruiting disciples, but can't Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi do it?"

"But the headmaster's lineage always needs some powerful disciples to pass it on." Bei Mingzi said: "The situation of Taoism now is exactly the same as 300 years ago. If you, the headmaster, do the same as me and don't accept any disciples, you will never accept any disciples." In the future... Taoism may split again."

"Well, if there are disciples who are talented enough, the poor will accept them." Li He said.

Bei Mingzi was just in case, but he knew that he might leave after a few years. If there were not enough outstanding disciples to support him, there would be no one to inherit the position of national teacher in the future, and Taoism would not be able to succeed. will fall apart.

This is not what he wants.

In the end, Bei Mingzi brought a four-year-old but extremely intelligent little girl to the National Teacher's Mansion—it was none other than Xiaomeng, the later head of Tianzong, who was lucky to be Li He's inmate. Great disciple of this world.

"In other words, the last world only accepted three male disciples. In this world, should we accept three more female disciples to balance Yin and Yang?" Li He couldn't help thinking.
