"Alas, Aunt Xia, I didn't help you when I became the assistant to the council, but I made you suffer. I really feel uneasy." I sighed, feeling even more guilty for the deaths of Pang Rujun and Liu Yi.
"You don't have to blame yourself. The enemy has been planning for a long time and has hidden it deeply. It's probably not because of you. For example, if you think about it now, Yun Fengyang, Yan Huafeng, and Cui Lan all died together.
, several heads of the Southern Nine Avenue Sect have also gathered and sacrificed their lives. Now only Zhang Suli and I are left. Don’t you think it’s strange?” Aunt Xia didn’t have a clue either. She had guessed the core of several questions before.
, and they all denied it one by one.
I pondered for a moment and explained: "Yun Fengyang"
"One day, if they are all deliberately led to be against you, what do you think?" Aunt Xia reminded.
I was immediately speechless. It seemed that the mastermind behind many things might be controlling everything, but what he was doing was really puzzling to me.
"Okay, you go and see your friends first. I just want to tell you to be careful in the future and always pay attention to some small details. I am still injured and I am tired." Aunt Xia said.
Aunt Xia was still so cold. I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, aunt, be careful. I will recruit the murderer as soon as possible to avenge Master Pang and Master Liu."
After I left the house and said a few words to Qixuanzi, Sun Chongyang followed me to visit Li Qing and them.
"Weren't you always in the hospital? Didn't you see enough just now?" I asked, thinking that Sun Chongyang must have something to say.
"No, haven't you just come back? I want to see these friends and ask you something." Sun Chongyang laughed.
"Ruan Mei's?" I said without thinking.
"Xia Yitian, Ruan Mei and I are good friends! Don't get me wrong! Besides, people have different paths, so it's not easy to talk about it. Even if you are your subordinate, you can't ruin someone else's reputation! You are also on the board of directors.
You are a manager, can you be more reliable?" Sun Chongyang refuted me on the spot, as if I had ruined Ruan Mei.
"Okay, okay, reliable, then you can ask." I shrugged helplessly, when did you, Sun Chongyang, become so serious?
Sun Chongyang hesitated for a long time before saying: "I heard, don't you still have the Enlightenment Pill? I wonder if you have some extra. How about selling me one? What do you lack? I, Sun Chongyang, go up the mountain of swords and go down the pan of oil.
I’ll get it for you too, what do you think? If it were someone else, I wouldn’t dare to ask.”
I thought about it, took out an Enlightenment Pill from my shoulder bag, and gave it to Sun Chongyang: "You don't have to do anything for me. If you advance, just protect your master."
Sun Chongyang took the box and froze there: "One day, you are really a brother. I just had the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect you to be so happy. Let alone the leader, this thing is a hidden person."
Not everyone in the world is qualified to take this."
"Okay, stop talking about this, just take it and practice well." I waved my hand, Yu Xiaoxue had already got the Enlightenment Pill from the Confucian Xia family, and the spare one was just right for Sun Chongyang, and I didn't
There are a few friends in the world who can be close to each other. Sun Chongyang is a good person, with a sense of responsibility and a full sense of justice. Such people are almost rare, and they should be supported when they should be supported.
After asking me in detail about the method of taking it and some methods of cultivation, we came to Wang Yuanyi and Zhang Xiaofei.
"Brother!" Zhang Xiaofei and Wang Yuanyi both lived in the same room. When they saw me coming, they immediately burst into tears and almost rolled over and ran to me.
"I thought I would never see you again!" Zhang Xiaofei howled and cried. I comforted him for a few words and then sent him back to bed. Li Qinghe was also relieved beside him.
Wang Yuanyi was lying on the hospital bed, with an expression that showed nothing more than grief. Pang Rujun's death had hit him hard. I couldn't tell them about the traitor. Once I did, it would be another disaster.
It is obviously unwise to embark on a journey of revenge, considering that they are only at the stage of enlightenment.
They talked about the previous events with each other, and they all felt very thrilling and nervous, but it also made them feel calm. Then they talked about how after the demonic way killed Pang Rujun, the two of them wanted to kill more enemies to avenge their master, and finally went deep into the enemy's camp.
.
While I was amazed at their ability and courage, I also gave them a squeeze. We chatted until late at night. I watched them take the Enlightenment Pill and then followed Zhao Qian back to the hotel. Li Qinghe was responsible for taking care of the two of them in the hospital.
.
The security of the entire hospital is quite good. Many monks in the enlightenment stage are guarding here. Even the immortals may not dare to break in here.
Back at the hotel, Han Shanshan and Miao Xiaoli were watching TV. They were very happy to see me and Zhao Qian back. After talking about some things today, I advised them to take the time to rest. After all, the situation in the Taoist sect is unstable now.
In crises everywhere, everyone is on standby and needs to be mobilized if anything happens.
After entering the bedroom, I let Xijun and Wang Yan out, letting them watch TV while I was taking a shower, and then rest and catch up on their sleep. Too many things happened in two days, and the two children
I also need to relax and I feel tired.
After taking a shower and preparing to go to bed, Zou Zhiwen called.
"One day, I just came back from Ninggu Pagoda. The official affairs are quite embarrassing. Have you heard about Ai Nan?"
"I heard that Ai Nan ran away. Mr. Zhou, do the officials want to forcefully intervene in our Taoist sect?" I recalled what happened to Nie Zhengguo at that time. This old man's approach was simple and crude, and he would not care about some details with you.
"Oh, yes, but throughout the history of the Taoist sect, when has it ever served as a lackey for the officials? It is impossible to let them manage any sect under our jurisdiction!" Zou Zhiwen sighed.
Now there are hundreds of large and small sects in the four directions of Taoism. Each side is also divided into nine sects, but their power is very huge. It is these Taoist sects that have elected the Hidden World Taoism to govern the organization of the Sifang Taoism. The elites in the Hidden World Taoism have become
Member of the Board of Directors, managing and coordinating Sifang Dao Sect.
If the official intervenes, we will become puppets. Our Taoist sect will have to do whatever the official says. Not to mention Zou Zhiwen's unwillingness, even the entire Taoist sect will not be willing.
"Things didn't go well. Senior Nie Zhengguo got angry?" I tentatively guessed. After all, Zou Zhiwen was very talkative, otherwise he wouldn't have called me in the middle of the night.
"That's almost it. I said sincere cooperation is fine, but if we want to be merged into the officialdom and become an organization affiliated with the officialdom, how can we really be regarded as a secular Taoist sect? It's really like being bullied by a dog." Zou Zhiwen was a little unhappy.
said.
I actually don't have a good idea. The official strength is the best preserved. Only Ling Huran among the earth immortals died. As the most important weapon of the country, the power they control can be said to be giant.
As for the Taoist sect's new defeat and the internal strife, four earthly immortals gathered together and an accident occurred. Although Zu Yunna did not respond to the news, he believed that the physical body must be liberated. In this way, the Taoist sect has no earthly immortals. The council does not agree. As long as it finds a reason
Once they are imprisoned, that sect is finished. As for the sects below, they have no backers, and the official recruitment and installation will take no effort at all. It may be possible to recruit them upside down.
"Mr. Zou, does the official Xuanmen have a strong will to bring the Taoist sect into its fold?" I couldn't help but ask, if it was necessary to do this, it would have to be broken.
Zou Zhiwen pondered for a moment, and then said: "According to Mr. Nie's opinion, it is imperative. He also put forward many reasons, such as the incident of Qingxu Dao this time, and the incident of Demon Dao taking the opportunity to cause trouble. It is said that our Dao sect
It requires better management and regulation, and this requires a strong man to cut off his wrist. We need to establish an official council here and send people to be permanent residents of the Taoist sect. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is not a plan. This is not an indirect attempt to control our Taoist sect.
Do you regard us as puppets? So I just want to let you know. By the way, several members of the council took over from me today and said that they had met with the Confucian Xia family in the afternoon and talked about it.
Regarding cooperation, the Confucian sect has great intention to cooperate with us, what do you think? Can you bring help to our Taoist sect?"
Putting these things together, I was shocked. This incident happened so coincidentally. The official intervened, and the Xia family came to send warmth. Several council members were still fighting with the demon sect in the abandoned town with the official family and the Taoist sect.
When they were together, they had a meeting with the Confucian sect in the hotel. Wouldn’t this be too easy? And the Xia family also took out a lot of rare treasures due to the compensation paid by the Taoist sect council. Such a big deal,
Not counting the reward, if you say that the Xia family has no ambition, I wouldn’t believe it myself!
However, I am Mr. Zou’s assistant, so it is inevitable for him to give me some opinions and reference on important matters. For him to come to ask me, it is also very close to the water. After all, the Xia family is my family, and I am dedicated to the Taoist sect. If I come here
Providing opinions is an important reference for him. Thinking about it in another direction, if he can get help from the Confucian sect, he will avoid official annexation and keep the roots of the Taoist line from being disconnected in this generation.
"The officialdom is like a behemoth. If we don't ask for help from other lines, I'm afraid it will be annexed sooner or later. Mr. Zou, I am young and I don't see some things very clearly, but in my opinion, the alliance is not good. Cooperation
Yes, it is possible, and cooperation must be mutually beneficial, so that neither of us owes anything to each other, and we can be clear when we part ways." I replied after thinking deeply, my heart was beating violently with nervousness regarding such a decision that affects the fate of the Taoist sect in the world.
