Chapter 114: The Altar Purifier

During the time when the master was distributing titles, he explained to everyone present the differences between the four great messengers.

The Battle Messengers, Discipline Messengers, and Guardian Messengers are each responsible for leading external expeditions, administering punishments, and patrolling territories. In simple terms, they are responsible for development, supervision, and defense.

The role of the altar cleaner is even simpler. It does not mean that he invites you to the feast, but that he is responsible for "spreading" and "collecting".

To be more specific, batches of Black Lotus Buddha statues are distributed to the people, building up their faith and incense, allowing men, women, old and young to worship. Then every twenty years, the distributed Buddha statues are collected back, and a new one is distributed, which is equivalent to a round of harvest.

The altar cleaner does not need to fight, but he has no rights either. He is equivalent to a tool or logistics.

"Cleaning the altar" means not letting go of "any" Black Lotus Buddha statue that is scattered outside, and not wasting "any drop" of people's incense and faith. Our slogan is "clean"!
But in the same way, the distribution of resources and benefits in such a large and top sect is also linked to contributions and merits. The contributions they have made by risking their lives are definitely much greater than those of you who fish in troubled waters and preach in the back.

When the six Jindan-stage cultivators of the local sect, including Yan Yuanchun, heard that their Foundation Establishment-stage disciples were all named "Altar Purifiers", their faces changed drastically and they could not help but protest loudly.

"Isn't this too frivolous, Brother Master?"

"This distribution is unfair!"

"Master, please think twice."

Of course, there was also a Jindan stage cultivator who spoke in a bad tone.

"Could it be that you have selfish motives, look down on our local faction, and are devoted to your faction born in Lu State, so you deliberately suppress it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the whole venue suddenly became tense, and all the local monks were vaguely opposed to the Lu faction.

After all, the position of the Altar Purifier is too lame. He has no real power and no resources allocated to him. He is a complete tool. It is equivalent to that all his subordinates in the Foundation Establishment stage have been removed from the vortex of power, and several of their Golden Core stage guardians have also lost their help.

Power represents resources, and resources are also the most important thing in the world of cultivation.

The rights of a Jindan-stage guardian are one thing, and the power of his subordinates is another. Without power, how can one fight for power and compete for cultivation resources within the sect?

Moreover, the war between good and evil is about to start in the next few years, which is a good time to make achievements. When the mountain gate is rebuilt, the resources in the Song Dynasty will be redistributed according to military achievements.

Not only are all the local Jindan-stage guardians dissatisfied, but the local foundation-building stage people in the palace are also dissatisfied. You assign me a marginal logistics position. We will not have more resources and benefits in the future. How can we make further progress? How can we cultivate and achieve enlightenment?

Since it concerned their own interests, everyone spoke out against it, and for a while there was constant dispute in the hall.

Of course, there was one exception. Although he seemed to be sociable on the surface, he was secretly delighted.

That’s right! It was Lin Shan who had ulterior motives.

The altar purifier? So that's what it means.

Wonderful!

I like this job, it seems to be tailor-made for me.

I really yearn for this kind of life of sowing and reaping!
Not only does he not have to risk his life to search for the Black Lotus Buddha statue within the sect, but he can just wait for the big harvest every 20 years. Isn't that a great deal for Gu Yun?

However, all the local monks in the hall were indignant at this time, so he did not dare to act out of character. He just pretended to raise his fist, shouted a few words weakly, and then wilted.

But it was different for Luanchun on the side. The little girl's face was flushed and she was very emotional. Not only did she protest loudly, she also had the time to express her contempt for Lin Shan.

"Our elders are all up there, what are you afraid of?"

"Hurry up and speak out against it together!"

"Do you really want to be the altar purifier?"

Lin Shan shrank his neck weakly and said timidly.

"How is that possible! It's just something the headmaster has decided. Obviously, there's no point in objecting."

I have to say that Lin Shan's refusal obviously paid off, and it turned out to be a good help.

The headmaster on the stage would not accept any rebuttal. There were also a dozen Jindan-stage guardians from Lu State. They had more numbers than the local faction, so the majority was the minority, so the decision was naturally made by voting. After all, there were only so many slots, and the resources within the sect were limited.

As vested interests, who would be willing to give up their own interests to feed your local faction? In the eyes of the Lu State faction, they are the pillars of the Black Lotus Sect.

The headmaster didn't have any selfish motives, but he had to consider the overall situation when he sat in this position. From any angle, the Lu faction was more worthy of his trust, and the war with the Song Dynasty was imminent, so naturally the Lu faction was the main fighting force.

Moreover, the Lu State faction has far more than the dozen or so Jindan-stage guardians present. There are many more guardians who are either on the way to provide support or have been sent to various places in the East China Sea.

He is even being suppressed by the Yuanying-stage ancestors of various factions. How dare he challenge the power of the Yuanying Dharma King? Wouldn't that be self-destruction?
Finally, the Jindan stage monks made the decision that the minority must obey the majority. The local faction was weak and had no choice but to accept and obey the arrangement.

The hall finally became quiet, and all the foundation-building monks in the hall were silent. The big shots above had made the decision, so it was useless for them, the subordinates, to object.

Luanchun frowned and glared at Lin Shan angrily: "You're such a jinx!"

Lin Shan also had a bitter face, full of worry and lamentations, but at this moment his heart was filled with joy.

The Black Lotus Cult really came at the right time. This is so smooth!
He even imagined that in the future, he would swim freely in the ocean of black lotus Buddha statues. Countless ancient rhymes flowed into the account of the enhancement panel, and he directly enhanced all the magical powers and magic weapons into immortal arts and immortal tools, and killed all the enemies in the world of cultivation!

Eventually he took control of the Black Lotus Sect, spread his teachings throughout the world, and became a formidable leader of a cult.

The whole world is prostrating under his MLM brainwashing, spreading the Black Lotus faith to the entire earth, and he stands on the mountain top and makes a call.

Countless people below shouted: "It's dirty!"

Just thinking about that scene makes people excited!
But this was obviously not the time for him to dream, as the Dharma protectors and the head master were still arranging matters in the hall.

"At present, the altar purification messenger will begin to preach on various islands in the East China Sea. The preaching period will be one year, and finally the discipline messenger will supervise and review it."

"Investigate the degree of public opinion and belief, estimate the income from incense offerings over the past 20 years, and compile a record."

"Different messengers will be assigned to different areas to harvest the Black Lotus Buddha statues to prevent theft."

"It is strictly forbidden to intercept incense without permission or to maliciously destroy Buddha statues. Violators will have their cultivation abolished, and in serious cases, their souls will be extracted and refined!"

"The incense supervision and management system is jointly investigated by the Yuanying-stage ancestors and the Discipline Dharma King's lineage, a total of 38 Jindan-stage guardians, to ensure that the incense is correct before it can be delivered!"

……

Obviously, the Black Lotus Sect is a large sect that has been established for thousands of years, and its various systems and institutions are very complete.

The procuratorate in particular conducts audits at every level in a meticulous manner, leaving no chance for loopholes at all!
The more Lin Shan listened, the colder he felt. By the end, he felt completely chilled.

"Fuck! Do you have to be so serious?"

“You’re just a pyramid scheme!”

“It is necessary to have such strong supervision!”

"Is this really a fucking cult?"

A series of question marks appeared in his mind. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how he could steal and absorb the ancient charm.

As long as he dared to steal, he would face scrutiny from the Yuanying stage Dharma King to the thirty-eight Jindan stage Dharma protectors.

If you only do a one-time deal for 20 years and then run away after stealing, you will be considered a traitor! You will also face endless hunting by the entire Black Lotus Sect.

By then, it won't just be the discipline lineage alone, but the entire Black Lotus sect, a large evil sect, with several Nascent Soul stage and even hundreds of Golden Core stage cultivators hunting down them, and tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment stage and Qi Condensation stage cultivators below them!

"I'm only in the initial stage of building my foundation. This is too difficult to start with!"

Lin Shan cried out in grief, feeling that he had to think about this matter carefully, as no one knew what was going on with the Black Lotus Sect. Now that he had plunged into this, he could only take things one step at a time.
