Chapter 9 Factions (Part 1)

Because Tang Jie did not allow Xiaohu to be exposed to anyone, Tao Ranju became the only place Xiaohu could hide. Whenever someone comes, Tang Jie or Yiyi will put Xiaohu in the animal card.

Since the beast card space is very dark, the time to be locked up must not be too long, so Tang Jie and the others would not do this easily.

At this moment, after Tang Jie said it, he asked, "By the way, what's the matter with you?"

"Of course it's about Master Changfeng. Why, are you really going to talk to us outside?" Jing Jingyue asked.

In fact, even if Ping Anyue didn't say anything, Tang Jie could guess what they came here for.

As expected, Ping Anyue and the others definitely wanted to use the Xiaoyao Society as an organization to form an alliance first. Everyone worked together to find Lin Lang, until they found someone, and then internally competed for the head.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that no matter who gets the head, it must be in the hands of the students of Xiaoyao Club. At the same time, it is also a better opportunity for the people of Xiaoyao Club.

Competing in cooperation and cooperating in competition are nothing more than that.

Unfortunately, this time I was destined to disappoint them.

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

After a while, Yiyi opened the door, 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 Ping Anyue, put her arms around Ping Anyue's neck, and waved to Liu Hongyan: "Hello, Sister Hongyan, Hello, Sister Jingyue, Hello, Brother Junyang, Hello, Brother Mingyang..."

He greeted all the students in one breath.

The little guy had a sweet mouth, and immediately coaxed Liu Hongyan and the others into laughter, and 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 off Tranquility Yue's body, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ping Anyue couldn't stop her, so she could only say: "This little guy is a ghost, I don't know what he is doing."

Tang Jie said indifferently: "A child has a child's secret, and we adults will take care of her."

"What about you? What's your secret?" Liu Hongyan said casually while following Tang Jie into the room.

"That depends on what you are asking about." Tang Jie invited everyone into the yard, called them to sit down, and served tea for everyone.

"Where else can it be?" Shu Mingyang asked back: "Reverend Changfeng accepted the true biography, and now the news has spread, and everyone is trying to figure out a way. Tang Jie, you disappeared for a day, and you must be looking for an idea, right?"

"Me, I read a book in Moxiangju for a day." Tang Jie replied.

Moxiangju?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

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

"If you want to become a disciple of Daoist, you must first understand the Moon Sect; if you want to hunt down Lin Lang, you must understand Wenxin Kingdom, and even Liuyun Academy. No matter what the reason is, it is enough for me to go and look up the information."

"Then what did you see?" Peace Moon asked.

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

flutter!

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

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

"Yes." Tang Jie replied.

Everyone rolled their eyes together, obviously no one would believe him.

But in fact Tang Jie really did not lie.

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

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

At the beginning, Yingtang suffered heavy losses, because they didn't understand Tang Jie's big goal.

Qi Shaoming's mistake was also a mistake in choosing the direction!

Tang Jie is someone who has experienced it, how could he make this mistake.

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

If the direction of effort is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.

Besides, this is not his only harvest.

During the whole day of understanding,

He already has some understanding of the structure of the Moon Washing Sect, some internal conditions, and the situation of various sects in the entire Wenxin Kingdom.

It was these understandings that made him suddenly realize many things that he hadn't figured out before, and also made him make a decision.

Taking a sip of tea at this moment, Tang Jie said slowly, "This time's selection...I give up."

"What?" Everyone stared at Tang Jie dumbfounded.

"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 out of my mind, I have my reasons for giving up."

"What reason?" Liu Hongyan asked.

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

"The question behind it?" Everyone was puzzled.

Tranquility Moon has asked: "Could it be that there is 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 interior throughout the years of operation.

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

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

Since Qixia Realm itself does not support the existence of so-called factions, these factions do not have a public form and name, and more are headed by different people, forming groups of various sizes. Outsiders generally regard them as conservatives, radicals and There are three kinds of neutral factions, each of which has subdivisions.

Conservatives currently occupy the mainstream position in the Moon Cleansing faction, headed by Ling Xiao, the master of the Moon Cleansing, and claim to be orthodox. This is also the inevitable result of every major force after years of rule, otherwise it would not be a world of great rule but a world of great struggle.

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

In fact, the radical faction does not necessarily have to fight and kill all day long, but the way of handling things is obviously more radical and ostentatious than the conservative faction.

Like when Xiao Biehan was against Shi Wunian, he chose to use war to keep guests.

If Ling Xiao, the master of Xiyue, came in person, it was likely that the guests would be entertained with fragrant tea, and they would spend the night talking with the empty moon.

The same is to keep people, but the methods used are very different.

This is just a small difference. If it is reflected in the governance, it will be a big difference and a huge difference!

As for the neutral faction, also known as the academic faction, centered on Xiyue Academy. On the surface, it seems that Moonwashing Academy is too small to compete with the two major factions, but Moonwashing Academy has educated countless people, and its disciples are widely distributed in the sect, so its influence cannot be underestimated.

The academic school is a typical traditional faction, which believes that practitioners should pursue the way of heaven, focus on self-cultivation, and care less about world affairs.

It should be said that the academic school is the real mainstream thought in Xiujie.

It's a pity that a person is in a high position and can't help himself. Facing the complicated disputes in the cultivation world, the cultivators who control the general situation of the world can't be truly transcendent and ignore them.

If this is true, why establish a sect?

Wouldn't it be more detached to be a casual cultivator in the rivers and lakes, idle clouds and wild cranes?

The purpose of establishing sects is to obtain resources. To obtain resources, one needs to control, and to have control, one must have political skills.

This is like in the long evolutionary history of life, not every kind of life has the ability to reproduce, but only races that know how to reproduce are eligible to last for thousands of years.

The same is true for the world of cultivation. Not every cultivator needs to play with his wrists and control others, but only those who know how to manipulate their wrists and control others can stand at the top of the world of cultivation.

Because of this, although the ideas of the academic school are orthodox and correct, they are ultimately inferior.

The three major factions are fighting each other in the sect, fighting for power and profit. Although it is not to the point of life and death, many things will eventually be involved with each other, and the result is that some decisions are often unexpected.

Why did the "counterfeit method" that Tang Jie used to deceive Yingtang work so well, but the Xiyue Sect didn't use it? Why is a little boy, the Moon Cleansing faction so scrupulous, can't just take him down and torture him wantonly? They are all related to this to a certain extent. Under mutual restraint, many things that can be done cannot be done.

The same is true of Tenjin Palace.

The acceptance of Yan Changfeng's apprentice this time is actually related to the dispute between the three internal factions.

The Moonwashing faction was originally dominated by conservatives, but after the Tang Jie incident, the relationship between the Moonwashing faction and the Tianshen Palace suddenly became tense. When the two sides were at war, the radical forces immediately raised their heads.

Yan Changfeng is a member of the radical faction, and accepting apprentices this time is a manifestation of the radical faction's power.

The moon-washing students have always been the targets of the two major factions. Young people are passionate and impulsive, and are more likely to be attracted by the ideas of the radicals.

Therefore, every time they recruit disciples, it is actually a propaganda of the two major factions, which not only selects talents, but also wins people's hearts.

Although there are no clear records of these things, they have been circulated to some extent. After combining a series of recent events and the historical data of the Xiyue Sect, Tang Jie can naturally imagine the vicissitudes of the situation and the tricks in it, and draw a conclusion.

So this time Yan Changfeng's selection of apprentices is actually letting the students choose their own positions!

"So it's like this..." I've never thought about this before, and now, listening to Tang Jie's eloquence, the students of Xiaoyao Club were a little dumbfounded.

They never expected that there are so many complicated things behind a selected disciple.

"Then you gave up this apprenticeship because you don't want to join the radical faction?" Cai Junyang asked.

Tang Jie smiled back: "Do you think I seem to be the kind of person who puts war first?"

"That's right." Cai Junyang scratched his scalp. Speaking of Tang Jie, he really wasn't a combative person. How many times he faced difficulties, he just smiled lightly.

It's really not like what he would do if he wanted to fight against the Sangshui River like some extremists in the Moon Sect, wipe out several major factions, and dominate the Qixia Realm.

If you are not in the same category, don't get together.

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