Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 9: Faction (Part 1)

Because Tang Jie did not allow Xiaohu to be exposed to anyone, Taoranju became the only place where Xiaohu could hide. Whenever someone comes, Tang Jie or Yiyi will collect Xiaohu into the beast card.

Since the beast card space is completely dark, the time of being locked in it must not be too long, so Tang Jie and the others will not do this easily.

After Tang Jie said this, he asked: "By the way, what do you want?"

"Of course it's about Master Changfeng. What, are you really going to talk to us outside?" Ping Pingyue asked.

In fact, even if Pingan Yue didn't say anything, Tang Jie could still guess why they came here.

As expected, Ping Pingyue and the others must have wanted to use the Xiaoyao Society to form an alliance first. Everyone worked together to find Lin Lang, and then fought internally for his head until they found him.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that no matter whose family the winner is, he must fall into the hands of the students of Xiaoyao Society. At the same time, this is also a better opportunity for the people of Xiaoyao Society.

Competing in cooperation, cooperating in competition, that's all.

Unfortunately, I was destined to disappoint them this time.

At this moment, Tang Jie had no choice but to knock on the door and say, "Yiyi, open the door."

After a moment, Yiyi opened the door and saw Tang Jie and blinked at him. Tang Jie knew that this meant that Bao'er had been taken in.

Yiyi had already rushed towards Jingping Yue, hugged Jingping Yue's neck, and waved to Liu Hongyan: "Hello sister Hongyan, hello sister Jingyue, hello brother Junyang, hello brother Mingyang... ”

Call all the students over at once.

The little guy's sweet mouth coaxed Liu Hongyan and others into laughter, and he no longer cared about her refusal to open the door.

Tang Jie said: "Come in, let's talk in the room."

Over there, Yiyi had fallen into Pingping Yue's body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ping Pingyue couldn't stop her, so she could only say: "This little guy is so weird that he doesn't know what he is doing."

Tang Jie said calmly: "A child has a child's secret, we adults don't care what she does."

"What about you? What secrets do you have?" Liu Hongyan said casually as she followed Tang Jie into the house.

"It depends on which aspect you ask." Tang Jie invited everyone into the courtyard, asked them to sit down, and served tea to everyone.

"What else could it be?" Shu Mingyang asked back: "Zhenren Changfeng has received the true biography. Now that this matter has spread, everyone is thinking of a solution. Tang Jie, you disappeared for a day, and you must have been looking for ideas. Right?"

"Me, I spent a day reading in Moxiangju." Tang Jie replied.

Moxiangju?

Everyone looked at each other.

Cai Junyang asked: "What are you doing there?"

"If you want to become a disciple of Zhenren, you must first understand the Xiyue Sect; if you want to hunt down Lin Lang, you must understand Wen Xingguo, and even Liuyun Academy. No matter which reason, it is enough for me to go and look up the information. ”

"Then what did you see?" Jingpingyue asked.

Tang Jie replied: "I see that Master Changfeng really wants to accept a disciple this time."

Pounce!

A group of people spit out all the tea in their mouths.

Liu Hongyan stared at him: "Is this the result of watching you all day?"

"Yes." Tang Jie replied.

Everyone rolled their eyes, obviously no one believed him.

But in fact Tang Jie really didn't lie.

He spent the whole day reading books in Moxiangju, and the first thing he asked for proof was whether Yan Changfeng really wanted to accept a disciple!

Everything has a big goal. If the big goal is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.

Yingtang suffered heavy losses at the beginning because they did not understand Tang Jie’s big goal.

Qi Shaoming’s mistake is also a mistake in choosing the direction!

Tang Jie is a person who has experienced this before. How could he make this mistake?

One day is precious and precious, but it is very worthwhile in Tang Jie's opinion to confirm that the main goal is correct.

If you work in the wrong direction, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.

Besides, this is not his only gain.

In a whole day of understanding, he already had an understanding of the structure of the Xiyue Sect, some internal situations, and the situation of various sects in the entire Wenxin Kingdom.

It was this understanding that made him suddenly realize many things that he had not thought about before, and also made him make a decision.

After taking a sip of tea at this moment, Tang Jie said slowly: "This time I will give up on the selection of disciples."

"What?" Everyone looked at Tang Jie in stunned silence.

"Are you okay?" Cai Junyang couldn't help but touch Tang Jie's forehead directly.

Tang Jie knocked off Cai Junyang's forehead: "I'm not mentally ill. I have my own reasons for giving up."

"What reason?" Liu Hongyan asked.

Sighing, Tang Jie said: "You only know that this selection of disciples is an opportunity, but do you know the problems behind the selection?"

"The problem behind it?" Everyone was puzzled.

Ping Pingyue has asked: "Is there some conspiracy behind this chosen disciple?"

"There is no conspiracy, but factions do exist." Tang Jie replied.

It is impossible for any large organization to maintain a monolithic internal structure throughout its years of operation.

Different people, different thoughts, different outlooks on life, and different concepts are destined to make different choices and form various organizations and forces.

Whether it is the Xiyue Sect or the Tianshen Palace, they are all the same.

Since the Qixia community itself does not support the existence of so-called factions, these factions do not have public forms and names. Instead, they are headed by different people and form various large and small groups. Outsiders generally regard them as conservative. There are three types: radicals and neutrals, each of which has its own subdivisions.

Conservatives currently occupy the mainstream position in the Xiyue Sect, headed by Xiyue Master Ling Xiao, who claims to be orthodox. This is also the inevitable result of every big force after years of rule, otherwise it would not be a time of great rule but of great strife.

The radical faction, headed by the sword master Xiao Biehan, attracted a large number of young and powerful forces.

In fact, radicals do not necessarily have to fight and kill all day long, but the way they deal with things is obviously more radical and public than the conservatives.

Just like Xiao Biehan's first choice for Shi Wunian, he chose to fight to keep the guests away.

If Ling Xiao, the leader of Xiyue, comes in person, he will probably treat guests with fragrant tea and entertain him warmly.

The same goal is to retain people, but the methods used are completely different.

This is just a small difference. If it is reflected in the aspect of governance, it is a big difference that is thousands of miles away!

As for the neutral faction, also known as the academic faction, it is centered on Xiyue Academy. On the surface, Xiyue Academy is too small to compete with the two major factions. However, Xiyue Academy has educated countless people and has disciples all over the Guangfu sect. Its influence cannot be underestimated.

The academic sect is a typical traditional sect. It believes that cultivators should pursue the way of heaven, focus on cultivating themselves, and care less about world affairs.

It should be said that the academic school is the true mainstream thought in the cultivation world.

It is a pity that people in high positions cannot help themselves. Facing the complicated disputes in the world of cultivation, no one of the cultivators who control the general trend of the world can truly transcend the world and ignore them.

If this is really possible, why bother setting up a sect?

Wouldn’t it be more detached to become a wandering cultivator, wandering around in the clouds and wild cranes?

The purpose of establishing a sect is to obtain resources. To obtain resources, you need to control them. To have control, you must have political skills.

This is just like in the long evolutionary history of life, not every life may have the ability to reproduce, but only races that know how to reproduce can survive for thousands of years.

The same is true in the world of cultivation. Not every cultivator needs to play tricks and control others, but only those who know how to play tricks and control others can stand at the top of the world of cultivation.

For this reason, although the academic thinking is orthodox and correct, it ultimately falls behind.

The three major factions compete with each other within the sect and compete for power. Although it is not life-and-death, many things will eventually involve each other, and the result is that some decisions are often unexpected.

Why was the "counterfeiting method" that Tang Jie used to deceive Yingtang very effective, but Xiyue Sect did not use it? Why should the Xiyue Sect be so scrupulous about a young boy and not be able to capture him directly and torture him wantonly? They are all related to this. Under mutual restraint, many things that can be done cannot be done.

The same is true for Tianjin Palace.

Yan Changfeng’s recruitment of disciples this time is actually related to the internal dispute between the three major factions. ~IndoMTL.com~ The Moon Washing Faction was originally dominated by conservatives, but after the Tang Jie incident, the relationship between the Moon Washing Faction and the Tianshen Palace suddenly became tense. When the two sides were at war with each other, the radical forces immediately reared their head.

Yan Changfeng is a member of the radical faction, and this recruitment of disciples is a manifestation of the radical faction's dominance.

Xiyue students have always been the targets of the two major factions' efforts to woo each other. Young people are passionate and impulsive, and are more likely to be attracted by the ideas of the radical faction.

Therefore, every time the two factions recruit disciples, it is actually a promotion for themselves by the two major factions, which not only selects talents, but also wins people's hearts.

Although there are no explicit records of these things, they have been circulated to some extent. After combining the recent series of events with the historical information of the Xiyue Sect, Tang Jie was naturally able to imagine the changes and tricks involved, and concluded that in conclusion.

So Yan Changfeng’s selection of disciples this time is actually letting the students choose their own side!

"So that's it..." They had never thought about this before. Listening to Tang Jie's explanation, the students of Xiaoyao Club were also a little dumbfounded.

They never expected that there would be so many complicated things behind a chosen disciple.

"Then you gave up on choosing a disciple because you don't want to join the radical faction?" Cai Junyang asked.

Tang Jie smiled back: "Do you think I am the kind of person who puts war first in everything?"

"That's right." Cai Junyang scratched his head. Speaking of it, Tang Jie was really not a combative person. How many times he faced difficulties, he always smiled calmly.

For him to be like some extremists in the Xiyue Sect who clamor all day long to fight across the Sangshui River, eradicate several major sects, and unify the Qixia world, this is really not what he would do.

If people are not of the same type, don’t lump them together.

"Then which category do you like?" Ping Pingyue nudged Tang Jie with her elbow, smiled and couldn't help but ask playfully.
