Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 222 Transition (two chapters merged together)

As the leader of the election, he is not stingy with both inside and outside the party.

Can a leader chosen from outside, who has no network foundation, convince the people?
So is this really open-mindedness, or is there a trick behind this?

No one was clear about the situation.

But one thing is certain - this is definitely a big piece of fat meat.

Considering the influence of the current Cultivation Alliance, there is no need to elaborate on the value of its leader.

Even if he is elected as just a hollow leader with no substance, the benefits he brings are still not small.

Someone asked:

"So, as long as it's suitable, it doesn't matter if you're not in the alliance at the moment?"

The five managers looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Prince Fu said:

"That being said, who is the right person? I'm afraid we all need to nominate a person of high moral character and prestige, otherwise it won't be enough to convince the public."

People around the stage began to talk.

Someone else said:
"So, Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple, Master Wan Jianyi of Qingyun Sect, and even Master Shangguan Ce of Fenxiang Valley in Nanjiang are all qualified?"

At this time, the Dharma image at the top seat put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name:

"Amitabha, my master is old and only wants to concentrate on meditation and worshiping Buddha. He does not want to get involved in the affairs of the martial arts world anymore."

Prince Fu agrees:
"Well, Master Puhong is indeed highly respected, but he is old and it is not good for him to work too hard."

"Besides, the Lord Shangguan Ce of Fenxiang is naturally qualified, but Fenxiang Valley is far away in the southern border after all. If he becomes the leader of our Cultivation Alliance, it will be inconvenient for him to handle the affairs of the Central Plains."

"As for Qingyun's Wan Jianyi Sect Master..."

As Wang spoke, he exchanged glances with the other four colleagues, and someone else took over the conversation:
"Originally, it is very appropriate, but considering that he has only been in charge of Qingyun for ten years, I think we need to wait and see."

Then, he changed the subject:
"We all agree that only those who are capable, prestigious, and able to convince others, and who are young and strong, can be chosen as the leader of the alliance."

"..."

According to this standard, there was another round of discussion everywhere.

Those present were not fools, and many of them had already figured out the trick.

From the beginning, the person in charge from Qingzhu Garden used words to guide everyone step by step.

Now it seems that there is probably a play within a play.

Prince Fu bowed his hands and continued:
"Since no one is saying anything, how about I mention someone?"

"Who?"

"Speaking of this person's cultivation, hmm, it is naturally extremely high."

"How tall is it?"

“It’s about three or four stories high.”

Is it that high? OK...

No one objected for now.

Then, Wang Zifu said:

"Speaking of this person's reputation in the martial arts world, hey, that is naturally also very famous."

“How loud?”

“The gongs and drums are so loud!”

Is this a way to support the actor or to sabotage him?

Wang Zifu was a little unhappy, and looked around for the person who had caused trouble.

But there was no gain.

People in the audience were whispering to each other and starting to speculate.

Even the leaders of the three righteous families have been excluded, so who would be the right person?

Some people have already started looking for it in the venue.

"So who is this person? I think everyone here can guess it to some extent."

"Master, why keep us in suspense? Just tell us now!"

"Hehe." Wang Zifu's face was flushed with smile, "Speaking of that person... He is far away in the sky, but also very close to us, right here at this venue."

I don't know how many people were enlightened by these words.

Almost all eyes were directed towards the seats at Trinity Gate.

Even the five leaders on the stage focused their attention on the leader of the Trinity Sect.

"Master..." Yu Zhuo behind him couldn't help laughing and whispered in his ear: "I didn't expect that it was aimed at you."

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head and said nothing.

Although it was hinted so clearly, the prince still did not point it out.

He continued to ask in a hoarse voice:

"Then do you have any objection to his qualification as the leader?"

No one responded for a while, just discussions.

Until the prince asked the representative of Tianyin Temple directly:

"What do you think, Master Faxiang?"

"..."

After a slight hesitation, the Dharma Image put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, after all, it is an internal appointment and dismissal within the alliance. No matter who is chosen, I, the Tianyin Temple, have no objection."

Prince Fu looked at another seat:
"What do you think, Fairy Lu of Qingyun?"

As the representative of Qingyun this time, Lu Xueqi
Before leaving, the headmaster Wan Jianyi granted her the power to make decisions on the spot and to speak on behalf of Qingyun at critical moments.

After hesitating for only a moment, Lu Xueqi nodded:
"Qingyun has no objection either."

The five major leaders proposed candidates, and then two of the righteous and powerful families approved them.

This is equivalent to the final decision.

As for the rest of the people, those with bad tempers were already cursing in their hearts.

I thought it was a fair and open election, but it turned out to be a shady operation.

So everyone is just here to play supporting roles in this play?
However, if the leader of the Trinity Sect were to become the leader of the Cultivation Alliance, that would be enough to convince everyone.

Once people recognize the role they play, no one will be foolish enough to question it.

Seeing this, Prince Fu was very satisfied:
"It seems that everyone agrees. That's great. Then what's next..."

Before he finished speaking, a surprised voice came from the other side -

"Hey, Master Xu..."

"Why did Sect Leader Xu leave?"

"what does it mean?"

Wang was startled, turned his head and his expression changed immediately.

Xu Zhiqiu led the Sanyi people to leave, but before they took a few steps, Wang Zifu and the others rushed over to stop them.

"Master Xu, what are you doing?"

"Yes, the election is about to be announced, why are you leaving?"

"I'm telling you guys, please forgive me."

Looking at their eager and anxious faces, Xu Zhiqiu felt helpless.

Invite him to be the leader - this plan has been in place since before the establishment of the alliance, and it has not been resolved until now.

"We really didn't hide it from you on purpose. We were just afraid that you would refuse..."

Wang Zifu came forward and said, "It is everyone's wish to elect you as the leader. Apart from you, no one else can think of anyone who is qualified to take on this task."

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head and refused without giving any room for argument:

"I am already very busy as the head of the Three Ones Sect. If I take on your position in the Cultivation Alliance as well, how can I handle the workload?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Goodbye."

"Hey, Master Xu..."

I need to talk about Prince Clothes again.
Xu Zhiqiu, however, went straight there with his disciples.

Seeing the backs of the Trinity group leaving, there was a burst of discussion in the venue.

He actually humiliated the Cultivation Alliance in public. This Patriarch Xu is really an incredible person.

But looking at the mild-mannered look of those in charge, it seems like they don't dare to make any trouble at all.
……

No one had informed Xu Zhiqiu about the election of the leader beforehand.

These leaders of the alliance played this trick just to take advantage of the situation to flatter him and make him submit.

However, they wanted to put on the yellow robe, but Xu Zhiqiu didn't want to be Zhao Kuangyin at all.

The reason is simple: I'm just too lazy to bother.

--------

The next day,

"Regarding the matter of Southern Xinjiang, I have made an agreement in public, so I cannot break my promise." Inside the Trinity Gate,

Several accomplished disciples stood in a row, and Xu Zhiqiu looked at them one by one:

"I think within two or three days, the alliance will have assembled a team to go to Southern Xinjiang. Who among you is willing to go with them?"

"Master, I want to go!"

Guo Dazhuang stood up.

He has already passed the second level, and his ability to overcome all obstacles in life is one of the best among his fellow disciples.

At this moment, he looked full of confidence and eager to try, and it was obvious that he was eager to go out and make a splash.

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head:
"You are too straightforward and not careful enough. You are going to lead a team to explore the southern border, which is fraught with danger. You are not suitable for this."

Guo Dazhuang stood back reluctantly.

"Disciple is willing to go."

The second person to stand up was Fu Wujiu, who had just been punished a few days ago.

He went back to Youzhou a few days ago to settle that lawsuit and just returned not long ago.

The Sanyi School had no habit of keeping accounts, so what was done was done, and Xu Zhiqiu did not punish him again.

It’s just that there are so many things to do every day that I don’t have time to ask about some details.

"Tell me, Master, how did you deal with that woman afterwards?"

Fu Wujiu shuddered and replied:

"She...she didn't want to marry into that rich family, so she wanted to..."

Here I start to stumble.

Xu Zhiqiu was not surprised.

You can guess it.
After seeing the disciples of the Taoists, how could any smart girl still be interested in worldly wealthy men?

"So, she wanted to come back with you, but you said no?"

"..."

Fu Wujiu said nothing, obviously agreeing.

"Then how did you solve it later? Don't tell me you paid money to settle it."

Fu Wujiu's forehead was covered with sweat:
"Yes, it is."

"Then you are really capable!"

Xu Zhiqiu snorted coldly, with a frosty look on his face.

Fu Wujiu knelt down with a plop: "Master, did your disciple do something wrong again?"

Xu: "Let me ask you, have you ever touched that girl's body?"

"No, no! I swear!"

Although he and the woman had been affectionate for a few days, they had only chatted about flowers and the moon and never dared to go beyond the line.

"That's it."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu remained silent for a long time.

He tapped the armchair with his index finger and pondered for about half a cup of tea before speaking:
"The sage said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Since you are not yet able to understand the world, you should go out and experience it for yourself."

Xu Zhiqiu raised his hand, motioning him to stand up, and ordered:
"In that case, you will go to Southern Xinjiang this time. I hope that when you come back, you will be able to think clearly about the confusion in your heart."

"Disciple, obey."

Afterwards, Xu Zhiqiu sent him down to prepare.

Feng Baoshan stepped forward and asked:
"Master, Junior Sister Xiaohuan wrote to me. She happened to be traveling in the Western Dead Marsh these days and asked when you can go there."

"Xiao Huan."

Xu Zhiqiu nodded in thought.

Ever since Zhou Xiaohuan finished her studies three years ago, she took a leave of absence and went traveling around the country with Old Man Zhou.

Both the grandfather and grandson were restless, and since old man Zhou was always nagging them, Xu Zhiqiu just let her be.

"Write her back and I'll go in three days. You don't have to wait for me."

"Yes."

Feng Baoshan replied with his painting technique, and suddenly he remembered something:
"Master, who are you planning to take with you this time?"

"Who should I take with me..."

Xu Zhiqiu fell into deep thought again.

There was a glimmer of reminiscence in those calm eyes.

"There is one person who should be brought along, as for the others..."

--------

Qingyun Mountain,
Tongtian Peak Yuqing Palace,

At noon, the six chief monks in the hall gathered together, a rare occasion.

Since the war ten years ago, there have been considerable job changes among the top management of Qingyun.

Among them, the first one worth mentioning is Tian Buyi, the chief of Dazhu Peak.

Because he was stabbed in the back by Cangsong, he was left with half his life hanging on for a full ten years.

But just a few days ago, thanks to a magical medicine sent by the Trinity Sect, Tian Buyi was able to come back to life.

Now he is able to attend his first meeting. He looks energetic and has obviously recovered well.

In this regard, the reaction of Qingyun’s top management is somewhat intriguing.

Several leaders argued endlessly -

"Junior Brother Tian has recovered from his injuries. This is a blessing for Qingyun. We should congratulate him."

"Since this is a proactive gesture of goodwill from Trinity, then I, Qingyun... should also respond in kind."

"How to respond? Has the death of the former headmaster Daoxuan been revealed?"

"What else? Kanglong Peak isn't far away, why don't you go up and kill him?"

"you……"

"All right."

The headmaster Wan Jian stopped him and said:

"We've been through this for ten years anyway, so we should take a long-term view of this neighbor."

As he spoke, the head master turned his face to Tian Buyi, who was closest to him on his left:
"Junior Brother Tian, ​​you have slept for ten years, but things and people have changed."

He held Tian Buyi's skinny hand tightly. After ten years of sleep, Tian Buyi had become a haggard man.

"My senior brother, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly took over Brother Daoxuan's job and became the head of Qingyun. You must be very uncomfortable with this new awakening, right?"

"Yeah, I never expected that you, Brother Wan, are still alive."

Tian Buyi also had mixed feelings in his heart:

"If he had known this earlier, Cangsong wouldn't have..."

As early as three hundred years ago, these people had a close friendship.

Be it Tian Buyi or Cangsong, they all regard Wan Jian as their father and brother and admire him deeply.

It was just to conceal the case of that year and to preserve the reputation of the former headmaster Tian Chengzi.

Wan Jianyi was willing to bear the crime and spent three hundred years in prison in the ancestral temple.

Of course, there are man-made reasons behind this.

But I have to say -

"It's fate."

After sighing for a while, Wan Jianyi said to Xiao Yicai who was standing beside him:
"Nephew, go and call them all in."

"Yes, Master."

After a while, Xiao Yicai led a few people into the Yuqing Hall.

Looking closely, these people include both men and women, all of whom are the younger generation of disciples of Qingyun Sect.

Wan Jianyi stood up and walked to the front of the stage:
"According to the news brought back by Junior Brother Lu after the meeting, the sect's deployment has been basically clarified. The Western Death Swamp is imperative."

"When a rare treasure appears, the Demon Cult will definitely take action, especially since the Death Marsh is adjacent to the Demon Cult's Longevity Hall's lair, which makes it even more dangerous. Although you are the elites of our sect, you must be extra careful when you get there."

"Yes!!"

These people responded in unison.

If you look closely, you can see quite a few active faces, but also some half-familiar ones.

Such as Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu, Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Chushuang, Xiaoshi and so on.

Lu Xueqi stood at the front of the queue, dressed in white as white as snow, with a sword on her back.

On the stage, Shuiyue looked at her beloved disciple leading the way and couldn't help but smile with pride on her face.

Wan Jianyi continued:
"This expedition will be led by Junior-Martial-Nephew Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak. You must all obey her orders. Do you understand?"

　It’s National Day now, bosses, read less and drink more, and have fun.
