Chapter 21 The Penglai Plan

Originally, when Li Ye heard that someone from the Cui family helped the Taoist temple in Boqishan, he thought that the other party could take out some money and let the Taoist temple have no worries about food and clothing for several years, so why did their old master be able to wear a Taoist robe with patches as Wei Xiaozhuang said? Now that he saw Cui Keli's condition, Li Ye finally realized that it was not easy for Cui Keli to be able to help the Taoist temple in addition to buying books and paper.

Li Ye left the desk and sat down on the chair.

Cui Keli also sat down and started chatting with Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang. He first asked about their master and Taoist temple. After a while of greeting, Su Emei brought the conversation to the point.

Cui Keli said: "This time I took the liberty to invite the two of you down the mountain, and it was a must. A few days ago, the Penglai Daomen issued a letter to the Jianghu, saying that Penglai had newly released many fairy pills, and wanted to convene major forces in the Pinglu River and Lake to go to Penglai Immortal Island in the late month to hold a fairy Taoist meeting to spread the immortal relationship. Our family is also invited."

"Immortal Pills and Immortal Fate?" Li Ye sneered secretly when he heard this. Penglai really regarded himself as an immortal sect.

"Sir, too, are you going to Penglai Immortal Island?" Su Emei asked, isn't the other party a Confucian scholar? Why did you want to get involved in Taoist affairs?

Cui Keli said solemnly: "This fairy Tao conference is not as simple as Penglai Taoist Sect said. It is just to auction the fairy elixir. There is a greater meaning here."

"What is the deep meaning?" Wei Xiaozhuang asked anxiously.

Cui Keli glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Unify the Pinglu River and Lake. Turn the Pinglu River and Lake completely into Penglai's dependence forces!"

Everyone looked at each other and was surprised. Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang had little experience in the world and could not know the depth of it. Li Ye knew the tricks here, so he asked: "Although Penglai is the first sect in Pinglu, a well-deserved leader of the Jianghu, and the forces of all large and small, they must respect him, but Penglai really wants to unify the Pinglu River and Lake, and issue orders to the entire Jianghu, so that everyone can obey their orders. How easy is it?"

"It was not easy before, but now there have been changes. It is this change that makes such a result not difficult to achieve." Cui Keli's face was solemn and said a new news, "The head of Penglai has already come out of seclusion a few days ago."

"The head of Penglai came out of seclusion and convened a meeting of immortal paths to seek unification of the Lu world. Could it be that he has successfully built a foundation and reached the realm of real people?" Li Ye could only think of this possibility.

"That's true." Trickley nodded.

Li Ye's heart moved slightly.

The Penglai Dao Sect was the biggest obstacle for him to conquer the Pinglu River and the Lake of Pinglu. At this time, the head of Penglai was promoted to the real person realm, and this obstacle had become a mountain!

Li Ye asked: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Penglai has never sought to unify the world. Why did it suddenly happen this time? What is their purpose?"

Cui Keli looked at Li Ye deeply, probably strange. Li Ye asked the point at once, and Li Ye said that he was just a friend of Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang, but it was a bit unreasonable to be so concerned about this matter.

Cui Keli asked Li Ye: "How do you think of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's rebellion when you travel around the world?"

Li Ye's heart was shaking: "I'm afraid the court cannot pacify it quickly."

"Cui also thinks so. Obviously, Penglai also thinks so." Cui Keli's eyes were filled with a bit of solemnity, "In other words, the world is going to be in chaos!"

"When the world is in chaos, the Taoist sect is out of the world!" Li Ye nodded.

"Penglai was originally the leader of Pinglu Rivers and Lakes. Unifying the rivers and lakes is the first step in Penglai's Daomen and the struggle in the world." Cui Keli said in a deep voice, "As long as we do this, Penglai's power and status in Pinglu will reach another level!"

Li Ye said in a cold voice: "In this way, even the Pinglu Jiedushi Peace of Pinglu Army cannot be compared with the Penglai Dao Sect."

Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang were already shocked by the rhythm of the two of them's close conversation and profound content. They couldn't hold on for a while, so they could only look at the two of them. Su Emei's eyes looked at Li Ye gradually became a little brighter. After all, the two were about the same age, and Li Ye's knowledge was obviously much higher than her. As a woman, she was born to admire the strong, and Su Emei was no exception.

"It's more than that!"

Cui Keli continued: "Penglai held the Immortal Dao Conference this time and invited the four major families in Qingzhou, and the courtesy was very generous. As long as the four major families send representatives there, Penglai will give the four major families, each of which has a golden elixir!"

"Golden Spirit Pill!" Li Ye took a deep breath, "This capital is really big."

He looked at Trickley and said in a deep voice, "Penglai Dao Sect will not do business at a loss!"

Cui Keli nodded, looked at Li Ye's gaze and felt appreciative: "The purpose of the Penglai Dao Sect letting the four major families go is to make the four major families respect Penglai! At least in matters involving monks, you must obey Penglai's control in the future!"

"Isn't the monks who can control the four major families just controlling the four major families?" Li Ye's voice was cold, "This is more than that. The two emerging families among the four major families are the backbone of the Pinglu Army, Penglai Dao Sect, which even the Pinglu Army must control! In other words, Penglai Immortal Sect must control the entire Pinglu!"

"Yes. And this is the true meaning of the Taoist sect's intervention in the world's great struggle!"

Cui Keli's eyes were bright, "In the past, whenever the world was in chaos, the Taoist sect would assist a prince to compete with the three Confucian and Buddhist soldiers to dominate the world, thereby consolidating his position. However, eggs could not be placed in one basket, so the Taoist sect would support several princes at the same time to ensure that there would be no mistakes. In the east, Penglai, west, Shushan, north, and south, Zhongnan. Each occupy one side!"

Cui Keli looked at Li Ye and continued, "However, this time, the mentality of the Taoist sect changed. They were no longer satisfied with it, but only assisted the princes. They wanted to control the princes! In other words, they just wanted to support a puppet representing the secular world! In this way, when the forces supported by the Taoist sect will once again determine the world, the Taoist sect will not have to be controlled by the Imperial Heavenly Prison like the founding of this dynasty. At that time, the situation will be reversed and the court will be controlled by the Taoist sect! And the Taoist sect will become a divine power that is above the secular imperial power!"

Li Ye was silent.

The four schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the largest. If anyone else can do this, it must be the Taoism.

After a while, Li Ye sneered: "The world is about to be in chaos, and all forces are making intensive arrangements. Whether it is the traditional four Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist soldiers, or the Salt Gang Cao Gang, they are all ready to join the torrent of the world's great struggle and make achievements. However, the layout is always just a layout. After all, there is no chaos in the world, and all forces have not yet come to the open. Penglai Dao Sect is good, and they are just starting to do it with real swords and guns!"

Cui Keli looked directly at Li Ye and said loudly: "This is because Pinglu has made a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"When the old and new governors alternate, people's hearts are unstable." Li Ye said this answer.

"Young Master is indeed very knowledgeable, and he said it well!" Cui Keli rushed forward, "Penglai is to take the lead when the new Jiedushi was in office and could not really control Pinglu, and tie the monks Pinglu into one rope, so that they can become vassals of the Penglai Dao Sect. In this way, Penglai can be the only one who can dominate Pinglu Jiedushi! In the future, the Jiedushi will only become the puppets of the Penglai Dao Sect when he takes office!"

Li Ye looked Ling Lie: "Penglai Dao Sect, you really have a good plan!"

"But this abacus is really likely to be realized soon!" Trickli said solemnly, "Not to mention that the governor has not yet taken office, even if he arrives, how can he do anything to Penglai? Especially Penglai, which is already in charge of the realm!"

Li Ye glanced at Cui Keli, without comment, and asked again: "The Cui family is unwilling to rely on the Penglai Immortal Sect? According to common sense, Penglai is a local Taoist sect in Pinglu. If you have to choose one, it is a better choice for the four major families than the governor who is loyal to the official position and relying on the Penglai Taoist sect, which has been rooted in this thousand years, isn't it?"

"The Taoist Sect is the Taoist Sect. How can it be above the secular imperial power?!" Cui Keli suddenly said and said harshly, "Have there ever been such a precedent in history? Can he let the Taoist Sect govern the country?!"

At this moment, a convincing confidence and heroism suddenly burst out from Trekley!

That is the unswerving sense of responsibility and mission that can only be achieved after reading the great righteousness, the talent of studying in the world, and the compassion and great kindness of the people!

This confidence and heroic spirit made Li Ye’s eyes lit up.

Li Ye then asked, "What do you mean by the Cui family?"

Trickley was embarrassed.

Now it was not only Li Ye who could see that Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang could see that the Cui family did not mean Cui Keli.

It is no wonder that for the family, it is beneficial or harmless to defect to the Penglai Dao Sect.

Li Ye asked again: "What do you mean by sir?"

Cui Keli said to Li Ye and others seriously: "The head of the family has decided to go to Penglai Fairy Island to attend the Fairy Road Conference. However, the candidates representing the Cui family have not been determined yet and need to be screened."

Li Ye was a little disappointed: "This is the Cui family chore. I can't help you, right?"

Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang went down the mountain just for Trick Li, but looking at how they look, it seems that they can't help Trick Li.

Cui Keli shook his head, "Just want everyone to help me. This time I went to Penglai to attend the Taoist Immortal Dao Conference. If Cui, a Confucian scholar, went alone, would be no good. But if Master Su and Master Wei were with him as Cui's disciples, then that would be feasible."

When Li Ye saw that Cui Keli was not very confident when he said this, he felt that it was still difficult, so he asked, "What's the inconvenience?"

Cui Keli glanced at Li Ye and sighed, "Young Master doesn't know anything. My father is old and has not left the room recently. The clan is discussing the new head of the family. This time he will go to Penglai on behalf of the Cui family, which is important both internally and externally, so the people who go to Penglai are basically the next head of the family... Cui is not talented, but is just a scholar who studies in farming. He originally had no intention of being the head of the family, and Cui's cultivation is mediocre, and he has no relatives, so he cannot get the position of the head of the family."

After Trickley said this, everyone understood completely.

Li Ye waved his hand, "Sir, don't say much. Now I want to ask, if Mr. insists on going to Penglai, how will the Cui family react?"

Li Ye asked simply, and Cui Keli was not pedantic. He looked at Li Ye solemnly, "If there is a competition for the position of the head of the family, the two sides will compete with each other, with their respective strength to compete for three civil and military strategies, and the winner will be the head of the family."

"With a teacher's literary talent, I believe that the literary test will not be defeated by the teacher. Then we will only be responsible for the martial arts test."

"Pinglu Daomen Xianchang, if both martial arts tests are held, one of them must be a Taoist."
