Chapter 72 The old meet, the eve of the shocking change
The square-faced monk in the spiritual realm in front of him is none other than Huang Zhengtu.
As the saying goes, "Although a sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs." Although Huang Zhengtu is only a spiritual monk in the fifth-level sect, he is still in charge of a sect. In the past few days, he has faced the real people of the Chamber of Commerce who have far higher achievements than him.
Very respectful, but in answering questions he was neither humble nor overbearing, nor overly flattering.
But at this moment, Huang Zhengtu took three steps at a time and rushed forward to pay his respects. Not only was he very respectful, but his face was flushed, his voice was trembling a little, and there were tears hidden in the corners of his eyes, but he tried his best to restrain himself.
The four spiritual monks behind Huang Zhengtu did not live to be more than sixty or seventy years old. They did not know why for a while, but their eyes flickered and they were secretly surprised.
Gui Wujiu helped Huang Zhengtu up and said warmly: "It doesn't have to be like this. In fact, in the past hundred years, Gui has also secretly visited twice for some reason, but he has never been alarmed."
Huang Zhengtu was even more moved when he heard this. He suddenly looked ashamed and said, "Zhengtu made a mistake in the matter of clan brother Huang Zhengde."
"Zhengtu had known that the character of brother Zhengde was not suitable for taking on heavy responsibilities. Therefore, Yuan also made up his mind to support him in a carefree life, which would end the brotherhood."
"I just don't expect that forty or fifty years ago, Zhengde suddenly became diligent and devoted to the affairs of the clan. Zhengde was temporarily uninformed and deceived by him, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility. He left disaster between his elbows and almost destroyed Shangxiu.
event."
Gui Wujiu shook his head and said, "It's not your fault."
He is not to blame and he is not devoted to cultivation. How can a stupid man who has no experience in the world not know the way?
The key here is that Huang Zhengde received the support of Luoquan Sect's secret method, and his merits gradually increased. In addition, he put on a hypocritical face and performed thoughtfully. Huang Zhengtu had no choice but to use this person. Otherwise, he would use the excuse of being jealous of talents and talents, which would weaken his own prestige.
.
Gui Wujiu also believes that Huang Zhengtu did not relax his vigilance after the incident, and must have carefully observed Huang Zhengde for a while. However, with the Luoquan Sect's secretive methods, he must have returned in vain.
After all, in the monastic world, the existence of strategy and wisdom is dependent on strength. Huang Zhengde has obtained power beyond the limit, which is naturally beyond the control of Huang Zhengtu.
Gui Wujiu comforted him again: "Neither you nor I have very good qualifications, but the Tao is endless. Gui Wujiu believes that the spiritual realm will not be your end."
Huang Zhengtu was stunned when Gui Wujia said that he had poor qualifications. He thought it was a modest remark and didn't know how to reply for a while.
At this time, the people in the main hall of White Crane Palace seemed to feel that the visitor was extraordinary. They walked out the door in pairs and were greeted by a total of twelve people, lined up neatly in a row.
Except for two female nuns, these twelve people all wore three-beam crowns and had a green snake embroidered in the middle of their blue and white robes. Among the two female nuns, the one on the left in a white gauze dress was Dugu Xin.
Mausoleum.
Dugu Xinling was not squinting at this time, as if he was a stranger to Gui Wujiu.
Another woman in purple palace clothes, whom Gui Wujiu did not know and had not heard of Dugu Xinling talking about, was obviously a real person in charge of other states all year round.
But the most impressive one among the twelve people is still the one standing in the middle. He has three long beards, extremely fair skin, and bright eyes. He is about thirty-five or six years old. He has experienced many ups and downs.
The demeanor of our Lord is evidently that of the head of the Twelve.
This person is none other than Wu Changxin, the most senior among the three governors.
However, even Wu Changxin, who has been presiding over the Chamber of Commerce for many years, was a sophisticated and thoughtful person. At this time, he hesitated slightly and found it difficult to step forward.
Although the three young golden elixir monks in front of me are all extremely outstanding, any one of them exceeds the highest level of the golden elixir monks in the Chamber of Commerce.
But of course he would not mistakenly believe that the young man in front of him in black robes with two swords, a tall figure and a package on his back was the true successor of the Yue Heng Sect, who had long been known to be famous.
But Wu Changxin will never be like Huang Zhengtu, who only sees blameless people.
Although the cold-faced middle-aged man next to Gui Wujiu had concealed his energy, the chilling charm he conveyed made Wu Changxin's spirit faintly suppressed.
Wu Changxin had a vague feeling that the popularity of this person was far beyond what he could understand. Even Han Anshi and Shu Yongyan, two fourth-level real people, were determined not to reach this level.
Obviously, this is the person presiding over the Shangzong. It is the first time in thousands of years that he has personally visited the deserted sea to control the chess game.
Gui Wujiu's future achievements may be even greater than this person's, but Wu Changxin would never be able to neglect the existence of this middle-aged man at this time. For a moment, he was hesitant as to how to call him.
Wu Zhangxin himself felt a sense of absurdity in his heart: he, Wu Zhangxin, would hesitate on such mundane matters as seniority and the order of guest and host.
Secretly sighing: I have encountered a higher-level existence that can dominate everything. The so-called thousand-year cultivation is nothing more than a pillar in the wall.
However, Yue Xuanying seemed to sense something, and nodded to Gui Wujiu. Without saying a word, she turned into a escaping light, stood up, and immediately landed behind the White Crane Palace.
I saw a flash of red light in the sky, and a three-story building fell steadily. Yue Xuanying's figure turned and landed lightly in it.
Yue Xuanying's intention was obviously to hand over all decision-making powers to Gui Wujiu.
Wu Changxin finally came to his senses, regained his calm and confident appearance, and greeted Gui Wujiu.
The group returned to the main hall. Huang Zhengtu immediately prepared the banquet and asked everyone to take a seat.
Fine wines, fine wines, rare fruits and exotic fruits were served like a stream. As for the people in Hengyue Sect, except for Huang Zhengtu himself who personally poured the wine for Gui Wujiu, he also selected more than a dozen exquisite and smart servants, and the rest were far away.
Exit the palace.
In fact, Huang Zhengtu also borrowed flowers to offer sacrifices to the Buddha. Hengyuemen is only a fifth-class sect. Where can these good things be found? These things were all brought by the real people of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce in case of emergency needs.
Wu Changxin first introduced the members of the Chamber of Commerce one by one. In addition to himself, Dugu Xinling, Lu Shengfang, and Yu Suiyun, there were also four real people from Leizhou Xi, Ji, Cai, and Tian, Zhenzhou Xi, Shu, Guan, and Lu
Four real people.
A little more than a quarter of an hour passed, and after getting to know each other, they toasted and exchanged etiquette.
We were about to get to the main topic. Before Gui Wujiu could take the initiative to speak, Wu Changxin said first: "As long as the emperor gives the order, we will charge into the battle, nothing more. If you have any arrangements for Gui Taoist friend, just give him the order."
Gui Wujiu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm not busy."
There is nothing to blame but one's own calculations.
The layout of the entire battle still has to wait until Shu Yongyan and others get together, all combat forces are present, and face-to-face communication is more appropriate. Gui Wujiu's current concerns are far more far-reaching.
Gui Wujiu said: "The arrangements for the battle will be discussed after everyone gathers together. What Gui wants to discuss at the moment is what happens after Yu Xuanzong is killed."
Wu Changxin was stunned, and the twelve people looked at each other, seeming to realize something.
Gui Wujiu said in a deep voice: "Ever since Taoist Huanglong came to Rongzhou, he established the system of five levels of sects. Rule by section, ascending and descending in an orderly manner, it is a good law and a good law. Among the middle and lower sects, of course,
There are still fights and constant bloodshed. However, it is much better than the old days of completely disordered conquests by hundreds of families and the law of the jungle."
"As a first-class sect, Yu Xuanzong is the pinnacle of this stable system. No matter whether his actions are upright or despicable, his existence alone represents the order of the whole party."
"What we want to destroy is Yu Xuanzong, not this order. Therefore, if Yu Xuanzong does not exist, everything he undertakes must be taken over by new forces."
Wu Changxin couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Gui, does Shangzong mean to let the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce assume this position? It's just that the organizational structure of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is already very loose, and with its power spread across four states, the manpower is I'm afraid there will be some shortcomings..."
Gui Wujiu was silent for a moment and said calmly: "The old mission of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is over."
These words sounded like thunder, Wu Changxin and others were startled.
As a mobile force operated by the Yue Heng Sect, the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce's greatest mission is to guard and monitor the progress of the Yu Xuan Sect and the Xingyue Sect's management of Huanghai Five Elements Miscellaneous Jade.
However, after today's battle, the giant mineral veins in the four core islands such as Quhuan Island and Zhongqu Island, which contain high-grade miscellaneous jade of Gang Yu and even Yuan Yu grades, will all be swept away without blame. The rest are scattered in small Although the total amount of mineral veins on the island is still extremely amazing, the value has actually shrunk by 80%.
What's more, if the road to peace of mind goes smoothly, we can start thinking about this place again in four to five hundred years.
Wu Changxin and others were all smart people, and they figured it out in an instant: Shangzong already had a method to thoroughly deal with the Five Elements Miscellaneous Jade.
Gui Wujiu said: "The White Dragon Chamber of Commerce will have a new mission."
"What Wu Zhenren said is absolutely true. The White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is loosely organized and spreads across four states. It is indeed not suitable to directly rule one place. What's more, the Chamber of Commerce's flexible and dense tentacles have its own unique advantages."
"Therefore, to take over the Yu Xuan Sect, we might as well allocate capable forces from the Chamber of Commerce and establish another sect. If there is a shortage of manpower, we can ask the Xingyue Sect to send people to help. What's more, a shortage of manpower will not be the norm."
"With this annihilation of Yu Xuan, I will gain all the Yu Xuan Sect accumulated over thousands of years. The expansion of power can be completed in just a few hundred years."
Wu Changxin and others seemed to be shocked by the words of blamelessness, and they closed their eyes and said nothing for a while.
After a long time, Master Lu Shengfang suddenly said: "Junior Sister Dugu is very familiar with Rongzhou Huanghai. It is not as good as having Junior Sister Dugu preside over the new sect after it is established."
Wu Changxin glanced at Gui Wujiu with a vague look from the corner of his eyes, and said: "Junior Brother Lu's proposal is very appropriate."
Gui Wujiu smiled and said: "After this battle, Master Lonely will go to Yue Heng Sect and his party. Therefore, I would like to ask Master Wu to make other arrangements for this candidate."
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly condensed. The people below Wu Changxin were either sad or yearning, and all of them had subtle expressions, but they tried their best to restrain themselves. Only Dugu Xinling himself, his face was as cold as before, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Gui Wujiu said: "It turns out that Yu Xuanzong's power is actually very powerful, and it is vaguely better than the three families of Destroyed Alliance, Yujing Sect, and Chamber of Commerce. But if we say that we can work together and subdue the three families, it seems that we are not strong enough. This way we are neither better nor worse. It is best not to have this situation happen in the new sect."
"The new sect must not only replace Yu Xuanzong's position, but also completely become the embodiment of order in Beirong Prefecture."
"Those who disobey will be attacked, and those who resist will be destroyed."
