Judging from the conversation between the two just now, Fang Dasheng and the man should be old acquaintances. There must be little difference in their previous cultivation levels, but the man took the first step and broke through the realm of refining the void.

"You're welcome, sit down!" the man said, and Fang Dasheng followed his instructions and took his seat.

"Junior Brother Fang is here to celebrate the birthday of Master He! Have you met Master He?"

"not yet."

"It's rare for you to come to the county town a few times. Come all the way, stay a little longer, and leave the following matters to the people below to handle. Don't be in such a hurry to go back. At least you can't leave until Master He's birthday! Although Master

I don’t want to throw a big birthday party, but I still have to have a few simple meals in private."

"Yes, that's exactly what I plan to do. I plan to stay for March or April and leave after He Guanshi's birthday party. Besides, there are many old brothers and uncles in our army who have to visit one after another."

"How is Senior Brother Wang now? I didn't see him last time I went to Yuanxian County."

"I rarely see Master Wang. I only heard that everything is fine. By the way, I heard that Master Wang's son Wang Jun is getting married soon."

"Oh? Really? I hugged that kid when he was born! Thinking about it, it feels like a lifetime has passed. So many years have passed. How is his practice?"

"It's not going very well. I've been practicing for more than three hundred years, and I've been stuck in the late stage of the golden elixir. There has been no progress. It seems that I have encountered the tribulation of sighing."

Tang Ning secretly smacked her lips as she listened to the sidelines. After practicing for three hundred years, she was already in the late stage of Jindan. In their eyes, it was not very smooth. The standards of these senior officials of Taixuan Sect were outrageously high.

You must know that in the late stage of Jindan, one has a lifespan of 600 years, but he has only practiced for more than 300 years. His lifespan can be said to be very sufficient. Even if he encounters the tribulation of sighs, he will have enough time to resolve it.

If according to their standards, someone like me, who has practiced for 370 years and is still in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, would be worse than a pig or a dog.

The man surnamed Su sighed slightly and said: "Hey! The Sigh Calamity is really a fatal bottleneck. I think I was also very distressed by this bottleneck back then. I even had the idea of ​​being wanton and happy, letting dogs and horses go wild, and spending my whole life.

."

Fang Dasheng agreed: "Yes! This disaster is really terrible. It can be said to be the strongest enemy in a monk's life. It was the same when I first encountered this bottleneck. I was so anxious that my hair almost fell out."

"What's even more frightening is that we don't know when it will come again. If it only happens once in a lifetime, it's okay to survive it. However, it is capricious, and there is no rule or method to solve it. We can only rely on chance and understanding, and when encountering

It’s really a headache.”

"Stop talking about this, what is the origin of the person that Senior Brother Wang's son is marrying?"

"She's a girl from the Liu family. I don't know exactly who she is. She should have some background."

"This woman from the Liu family! Is she a disciple of our sect?"

"I heard he is from the headquarters column."

"Oh! That's not bad."

"Will Master Uncle Su go to attend the wedding banquet of Master Wang's son?"

"Let's see when the time comes! You may not have the time."

……………………

The two chatted for a while, for a full quarter of an hour, talking about trivial matters.

Suddenly, the man named Su changed the subject, looked at Tang Ning and said, "You must be Tang Ning!"

Tang Ning quickly responded: "That's right, my disciple."

"Yeah." The man surnamed Su just nodded and did not continue speaking. The room fell into a brief silence.

For about a few breaths, the room was silent, and no one spoke. At this time, Fang Dasheng stood up and said, "I have other matters, so I won't disturb Uncle Su. I'll take my leave first."

"Junior brother Fang, since you have important matters, I won't keep you any longer. Anyway, you won't leave for a while. From now on, you can come to my house and walk around more when you have nothing to do. We are old acquaintances, so don't make things so awkward.

Treat each other politely."

"Yes, I will definitely come to visit you in the future."

"Whenever I have free time, I will go to Xuantang City to wander around. Then I will have to trouble you, the master."

"Then I will wait for my uncle in Xuantang City."

"Yuan Cheng, please give me a gift to Junior Brother Fang." The man surnamed Su said. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuancheng pushed the door open and walked in: "Uncle Fang, please."

"Farewell." Fang Dasheng stood up, saluted and walked out. Tang Ning naturally followed behind him.

"Tangning, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."

Tang Ning was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement, but Fang Dasheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything and walked out of the room without even looking back.

"Unknown master, uncle, what are your orders?" Seeing Fang Dasheng walking away, Tang Ning bowed and said in salute. It is an unwritten rule of the sects in the world of cultivation. The senior leaders of the sect who are far beyond one's realm should all be called their positions or master's uncle.

For a Jindan cultivator like him, whether they are transforming gods, refining voids, or higher-level combined powers, as long as they are from the same sect, they are all collectively referred to as masters and uncles.

Tangning didn't know his specific position, so he could be called this.

"So, you still don't know who I am?" the man surnamed Su said.

"The disciple really doesn't know. Chief Fang only said that he would bring the disciple to see the master's uncle, but he did not tell the disciple the identity of the master's uncle and what happened."

"My name is Su Yuanhua. Now you should know why I called you here and left you alone!"

The man surnamed Su suddenly said such a sentence without any beginning or end. Tangning was confused and couldn't help but curse in her heart.

You told Su Yuanhua that it was none of my business, and you spoke nonsense and unclearly. How do I know why you came to me and then left me alone?

He was silent and didn't know what to say for a moment. Judging from his confident expression, it seemed that he should know. If he said he didn't know, it would look stupid and refute his face.

To say that I know, I really don’t know.

Seeing his appearance, Su Yuanhua couldn't help but smile: "Didn't Junior Sister Liu come back to Xingang to find you? You two eloped together for several years. Didn't she mention me to you?"

When Tang Ning heard what he said, she suddenly realized that at Liu Ruhan's age, even if her cultivation path has been smooth over the years, she is still at the Nascent Soul cultivation level at most, yet this person, a cultivator at the level of cultivating the void, calls her junior sister.

Then the identity of the person in front of me is almost revealed, that is, senior brother Liu Ruhan, Nangong Muxue's eldest disciple.

When the two of them were together, Liu Ruhan talked a lot about the internal affairs of Taixuan Sect. Of course, he mentioned this senior brother, but he only mentioned it casually and did not mention the specific name.

Even if there was one at the time, it is normal for Tangning to forget about it after so many years. After all, they had never met each other before.

"It turns out that you are the senior brother that my wife often talks about. She often mentioned you back then, saying that you were extremely talented and intelligent. You were the proud disciple of Inspector Nangong.

The goal that my wife admires. It’s just that after many years, the disciple has temporarily forgotten his honorary name. I hope you won’t be surprised.”

Su Yuanhua waved his hand: "There is no need to say more polite words. I know my junior sister's temperament, and she won't talk about me all the time."

"Let's get back to business! I learned from Uncle Bai that you are in the first column of the Fourth Army. Last time I went to Yuanxian County to investigate and deal with the conflict between Fang Dasheng and Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, I learned that you were transferred to their regiment by Fang Dasheng.

It was me who informed Fang Dasheng that there was an opportunity for him to bring you to meet you."

Bai Jintang is just a monk who transforms into gods, but Su Yuanhua calls him uncle, of course because they are of different generations.

Nangong Muxue was the disciple of Master Liu Ruhan in his early years, while Bai Jintang was the disciple of Master Liu Ruhan in his later years, so there was a big gap in their cultivation level.

And Su Yuanhua was Nangong Muxue's disciple in his early years. When Su Yuanhua became Nangong Muxue's disciple, Bai Jintang had not yet been accepted by Master Liu Ruhan. Therefore, regardless of age, identity, status, and cultivation, Su Yuanhua was above Bai Jintang.

.

Just because they have different generations, they are respectfully called master uncles. Although the cultivation world is commensurate with the gap in cultivation level, there is also a distant relationship.

Only those who have a distant relationship will judge their seniority based on their cultivation. A relationship as close as that between Bai Jintang and Su Yuanhua will naturally not be judged by the rules of the spiritual world.

Bai Jintang is Nangong Muxue's fellow disciple, and Su Yuanhua is Nangong Muxue's disciple. No matter how big the gap is in their cultivation, identity, and status.

Even if Su Yuanhua has cultivated to the Mahayana level, he still has to address Bai Jintang as his uncle. This is the rule of the master-disciple lineage.

The relationship between Bai Jintang, Nangong Muxue and Su Yuanhua is not uncommon in the master-disciple line of Taixuan Sect. There is a rule in the master-disciple lineage of Gein.

That is, all disciples in the master-disciple line must accept a disciple after they break through to become gods to continue the master-disciple legacy.

This is easy to understand. The reason why there is such a rule is that the inheritance and continuation of the master-disciple lineage all have the title of master-disciple. In the name of disciples, disciples, uncles, uncles, brothers and brothers, these original eight-pole divisions are

Disciples of the Taixuan Sect who had nothing to do with each other gathered together and formed a close network of relationships, thus forming a huge alliance of interests.

Without this rule, it would be inevitable that some people would be unwilling to accept disciples, which would lead to the discontinuation of inheritance, weakening the power of the master-disciple line, and even over time, the master-disciple line would naturally die out.

Therefore, the senior leaders of the master-disciple line have set this rule and it has lasted for millions of years. No one has ever dared to break this rule. Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the master-disciple line and be attacked by the master-disciple line.

.

If the monks of the Transformation God left the islands of Qinghai, they would definitely be regarded as heroes, but within Taixuan Sect, they could only be regarded as middle-level disciples at most.

This has led to many generations of chaos. Many people have accepted a disciple after breaking through to the state of transformation. As their cultivation improves and the years accumulate, when they reach the state of integration, they may accept another disciple for various reasons.

As a result, the difference in cultivation between the two disciples was obvious.

For example, Nangong Muxue and Bai Jintang, Liu Ruhan and Su Yuanhua.

Not only the master-disciple lineage, but also the spiritual family also has many unclear and messy relationships. Often an old man with white hair and beard will respectfully call an uncle to a newborn baby, all because of the difference in seniority.
