Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Wu Tongming said: "Brother Zhang and I have analyzed it before. Among the three major forces of Taixuan Sect, the one we are most likely to join is the master-disciple line."

"Because the other two major factions need to have good background. Even if we show our warm face to others, they may not ignore us, not to mention our low cultivation level."

"First of all, we are not descendants of the aristocratic family, so we are not qualified to integrate into their circle."

"Secondly, we are not qualified for the authentic lineage. These people are qualified to be absorbed by them only if their grandfathers are disciples of Taixuan Sect for at least three generations."

"So we can only rely on the master-apprentice faction. The composition of the master-apprentice faction is the most complex and diverse among the three factions."

"In the beginning, they were some monks within Taixuan Sect who were dissatisfied with the aristocratic family and the authentic sect and banded together to keep warm."

"These people formed a group under the protection of several high-level monks to fight against the two factions of the aristocratic family and the authentic sect. After millions of years of development and changes, these people gradually formed the third major force within Taixuan Sect, and together with the children of the aristocratic family Fight against the orthodox disciples and stand on three sides."

"Outsiders call this force the master-disciple line. Because the backbone of this force is the master-disciple lineage, it has continued this way for millions of years."

"Today, the master-disciple line has spread out in Taixuan Sect, with many party members. They are divided into various small branches, and together they form the master-disciple line as a whole."

"These small branches are just like the aristocratic family factions, divided into the children of the Jiang family, the children of the Liu family, the children of the Sima family, etc."

"It's just that unlike other aristocratic families, they can be clearly distinguished by their surnames alone."

"It is worth mentioning that not all disciples of Taixuan Sect who have master-disciple status belong to the master-disciple line. They actually have inheritance within them. For example, who is your master, who is your master, and who is your master?" Who is the ancestor, who is the ancestor of your master, and the true master-disciple line has a complete inheritance. "

"Just like a family tree, they have a roster of masters. Every time they accept a disciple, their name will be engraved on the family tree, and then a rubbing will be given to the apprentice for safekeeping. They can even trace their ancestors dozens of generations ago. ”

"These talents are the real core figures of the master-disciple line. Those without this kind of inheritance can at best be regarded as vassals of the master-disciple line."

Tang Ning muttered: "According to what Brother Wu said, even if we join the master-disciple line, we are just their vassals and cannot be considered as our true members."

Zhang Ziqing smiled bitterly: "With this status as a vassal, how many people want to join us but there is no way out! Brother Tang, don't you see, when we first arrived here and Xu Mengyuan received us, so many people showed signs to him in the main hall of the mountain guard It's easy to say hello, isn't it because he is Fang Da's disciple? Otherwise, why would those people flatter him? "

"Given our status as monks and low level of cultivation, it would be good if we could find a big tree to rely on. It is basically impossible to climb this big tree."

"If you want to become a core disciple of the master-disciple line, you must teach from a young age and confirm your master-disciple status. Only then can you be qualified to sign the master's genealogy. People like you and me, who will accept us?"

"To put it bluntly, we are no different from the cats and dogs they pick up on the roadside. If it weren't for Brother Tang, you and Senior Fang have some old friends. With our cultivation status, how could Senior Fang take a liking to us."

"It is precisely because Senior Fang has taken great care of you that we came to you and said this sincerely. From now on, the two of us here will look after you."

"Brother Zhang, it's serious. You and I are like grasshoppers in the same boat. We should support each other. By the way, you just said that there are many factions in the master-disciple relationship. I don't know which faction our captain belongs to?" Tang Ning asked.

He had already speculated that Fang Dasheng should be from the same faction as Nangong Muxue, otherwise he would not be so enthusiastic towards him. Since they are from the same faction, Liu Ruhan must also be in this faction.

Zhang Ziqing said: "The specific sect is only known to their core disciples. It is not known to outsiders. I only have a partial understanding of the Taixuan Sect master and disciple lineage, most of which are hearsay."

"If the master-disciple line is compared to a towering tree, then their internal branches are like the branches of the big tree. There may be frictions and contradictions among these internal branches, but they are together. Under the big tree, we jointly safeguard the development of the big tree and our own interests.”

“For example, Ren Boda, the frontline commander of the Qingzhou Allied Forces, the former head of Taixuanzong’s Foreign Affairs Council and now the Supreme Elder of Taixuanzong, is said to be one of the giants in the master-disciple line of Taixuanzong. The leader of the tribe."

"Everyone in this tribe only follows his lead and only obeys his orders. There are several people like him in the master-disciple line."

"These people lead a tribe. Within the master-disciple line, they are very important giants."

"Within the tribe, they are the leaders who speak one thing."

"Within the sect, they are extremely influential and appealing. They are close confidants and disciples. They hold important positions in the sect."

"They joined together and formed the entire master-disciple line."

"As for the composition of the tribes, it can be said to be simple or complicated."

"Take Ren Boda as an example. On the genealogy list held by everyone in his tribe, the top person must have the same name."

"In other words, they are the same master."

"You must know that the master-disciple line of Taixuan Sect has developed for millions of years. It has been passed down to disciples, disciples and grandsons for countless generations. It has blossomed everywhere and spread its branches and leaves. The master tree they hold is their identity certification."

"As long as this name appears on the roster of teachers, this person will naturally become the core disciple of their tribe."

"And vice versa, if you are not on the teacher's list, you will not be able to squeeze into their inner circle."

Tangning nodded and said, "So, senior Fang Dasheng should be part of the inner circle of master and apprentice?"

"I think so. Otherwise, why would he be the one in charge? There must be someone above taking care of him."

The three of them sat and talked for a long time, ranging from various matters in the Xuantang City office to the distribution of forces in the entire Xuantang City. Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming told each other all the news they had found out over the past few days. It was not until late at night that the two of them got up. He said goodbye and made an appointment to go out for a walk in the city tomorrow.

………………

In the majestic and majestic cave, Xu Mengyuan was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed and practicing. The storage bag around his waist suddenly shook. He opened his eyes, took out the formation plate, and pointed it at it, only to see a middle-aged man with a leopard head and ape arms. The man strode through the thick fog.

Xu Mengyuan quickly stood up and went out to greet Fang Dasheng. He walked to Fang Dasheng and bowed and saluted: "Master, why are you out of seclusion today?"

"On Liu Ziyang's 2000th birthday, he sent someone to invite me, Junior Brother Hao, and Junior Brother Sima to a banquet. This old guy is very respectable, so why don't you go? He might still have a grudge, so he has to go." Fang Dasheng was quite helpless. Shaking his head: "When did you come back?"

"I'm going back to the headquarters at noon today. Master, Tang Ning's disciple has already arrived in the city and is now stationed at the inn. What kind of mission should we arrange for her?"

"You can just make the decision on this little matter yourself, why bother asking me."

"Yes." Xu Mengyuan followed closely behind him: "Master, I have something to tell you. This time, my disciple and Tang Ning went to Qianyuan City and discovered a secret place. Inside there was a golden elixir that had transformed into a ghost. Later, after the disciple killed the man, he obtained his relics, including a spiritual treasure."

"Oh?" Fang Dasheng paused slightly: "Please tell me in detail."

Xu Mengyuan then recounted the whole story: "That's it, there are twelve items inside, and my disciple only wants this spiritual treasure."

"I didn't expect that Tangning is such a blessed person. She just went to Qianyuan City and got so many things."

Xu Mengyuan replied: "How about he marry Nangong Muxue's disciple?"

Fang Dasheng smiled: "That's right, this is your opportunity too!"

"Master, there is a fourth-level high-grade psychic beast soul in this spiritual treasure to protect the remaining spiritual consciousness of the original owner. If the disciple's ability collides with it head-on, he may not be a match for this beast soul, so I would like to ask the master for help. ”

"Even if I help you erase the remaining spiritual consciousness, I'm afraid you won't be able to conquer the beast soul in the Lingbao space with your current cultivation level."

"My disciple knows this. I want to feed the beast soul with essence and blood for a period of time to cultivate the relationship between the two parties, which will help to conquer the beast soul in the future."

"This takes a lot of energy! You should concentrate on your cultivation now. After all, cultivation is the foundation of everything. As for the spiritual treasure! There is no need to be so anxious. If you must get that spiritual treasure now, I can help you, but I advise you to think about it carefully.”

"Yes." Xu Mengyuan responded: "Master, today Tangning asked me about the situation of the Spirit Gathering Array. He wanted to enter the Spirit Gathering Array to practice. I casually tried to fiddle with him a few words. Do you think?"

"He is not an official disciple yet and is not qualified to enter the Spirit Gathering Array according to regulations. Besides, he does not have merit points to pay for the use of the Spirit Gathering Array."

"Disciple understands."
