After Zhang Yu heard what the two said, he did not agree immediately, but said that he should consider the matter carefully.
Qi Yu and Hui Yuanwu also expressed their understanding that no one could accept such an important matter at once.
However, the reason why they dared to reveal their plan to Zhang Yu was because they found out that Zhang Yu was a Xia Shi, so they were willing to trust his character and believed that he would not leak the matter.
In fact, the reason for recruiting Zhang Yu to establish the Taoist sect was not only because of his strength, but also because he had the title of Xia Shi. He believed that with his presence, more people would definitely be attracted to join them.
After they came down, the three of them stopped talking about this matter. Instead, they talked about anecdotes from various places and the outstanding figures among various Taoist sects.
"Xie Huang of the Hongshan Taoist Sect, this person is worth noting. He is the eldest disciple of the sect leader. It is said that he will read Chapter 4 of the book soon. If he succeeds, the strength of the Hongshan Taoist Sect will be greatly improved.
.”
Qi Yu's expression was a little solemn. The deterrence brought by a powerful monk is unparalleled. If they establish a Taoist sect, then the Hongshan Taoist sect will undoubtedly be their biggest opponent. One more monk from Chapter 4 will be a big threat to them.
It's not a good thing to say.
In comparison, Hui Yuanwu was much more optimistic, "Why do you think so much? Maybe he would have been able to read the fourth chapter of the book a long time ago. It's just that he had too many worries and didn't dare to take that step."
Qi Yu thought for a while and agreed: "This is also possible."
As for Xie Huang's concerns and why he did not dare to take this step, the two of them did not explain clearly.
Zhang Yu didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that the two of them had revealed this to him intentionally. If he wanted to know the answer, he could only agree to establish a Taoist sect with them.
After chatting with the two for a while, he said goodbye and left.
After returning to the flying boat, he began to think about this matter seriously.
The two of them actually have a good idea. If I can't defeat you from the front, then I will join you and then find a way to defeat you from the inside.
This not only avoids too many casualties caused by conflicts between fellow practitioners, but also perfectly circumvents the constraints from the upper levels. Xuan Shou will not say anything about this, and the Junfu and Zhoufu will only think that it is a dispute between Xuanxiu.
Infighting.
But there is still a question here. After all, he is not familiar with the two people, so are what the two people said true or false?
Are they really prepared to fulfill their promise after this matter is successful, or are they prepared to use this name as an excuse to gather a group of people and get what they want from it?
Even if they really think so, people will change as the situation develops. In the face of huge interests, how many people can withstand the temptation, will they really be willing to let go?
It's all hard to say.
In addition to these, there is another key issue.
That's the legal principle.
Although there is no clear legal regulation, in fact Tianxia does not recognize Taoism.
Therefore, the current Taoist sect only exists among Xuanxiu and exists in the mouths of certain officials. However, it has never really existed in Zhoufu or military mansions. It cannot be found in any correspondence or files.
Arrived.
When the Junfu, Zhoufu and Xuanxiu cooperated, the documents were always in the name of Xuanfu, and there was no Taoist sect either.
The two governments are so cautious in their correspondence, so when Qingyang Shangzhou issues a decree saying that the Taoist sect will be banned, he will not be surprised at all.
This is a big pit that you can't get out of if you jump down.
Not to mention this, just saying that as a Xia Shi and a serious Xuanfu Xuanxiu practitioner, it is naturally impossible for him to join any Taoist sect.
Therefore, he and these two people are destined not to get together, but the ideas of these two people are still worth encouraging from the current point of view. He can help these two people to a certain extent, but he will not completely believe it.
them.
If these two people really succeed in doing this and fulfill their promises, that would be the best. If they hesitate or have other thoughts, then it is up to him to take the final step.
After making the decision, he didn't think about it anymore.
Today's lunch was still cooked by Qing Xi. Her cooking skills seemed to be a little better than yesterday. She also proposed to taste the food from various states so that she could learn from it and make more suitable dishes for Zhang Yu.
The dishes are also richer in taste.
Zhang Yu readily agreed. He did not refuse to enjoy life amidst rigorous cultivation. Besides, he still had eight days of rest. Since he had a small flying boat, he might as well take a tour in Qingyang Shangzhou.
While tasting local delicacies, you can also enjoy the scenery of various places.
But before that, a clear reply needs to be given to Hui and Qi.
The next day, he came to Liushang Pavilion again, expressed his thoughts, and emphasized that as long as it did not violate Tianxia's laws, he could help, but as a Xuanfu Xuanxiu, he would not
Join any Taoist sect.
After he left, Huiyuan Wu said: "Lao Qi, what do you think?"
Qi Yu sighed and said: "Daoyou Zhang is now the dean of Kaiyang Academy and a Xia Shi. Even if he doesn't practice, there is a better way out. No wonder he doesn't want to board our ship."
.”
Hui Yuanwu shook his head and said: "I don't think it's because of this. It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang doesn't quite approve of our approach."
Qi Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with firm eyes: "I know that although there are many inappropriate things in our plan, this is the best way at the moment, and we can slowly correct it.
But if you don’t do it, you will never succeed.”
Hui Yuanwu was more open-minded and said: "Don't think about this, at least Daoist friend Zhang is still willing to help us."
Qi Yu nodded and said: "That's it, there are some things you can't do without force. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention it just now..."
He took out an elixir bottle with a heart-cleansing elixir in it and said, "Whenever you see fellow Taoist Zhang again, help me give this to him. After all, we are asking him to help, and we can't let him think we are rude."
General Huiyuan put the pill bottle away and said, "Okay, I'll give it to him next time I meet him."
At the same time, inside the Michigan Prosecutor's Office.
Zheng Zhengzheng was looking through the official documents sent by the prosecutors from various places. At this time, the deputy came to him, clasped his fists and said: "Search, we have already got it."
Zheng Jiu put down the official document and said, "Has it been confirmed that there is a nightmare in him?"
The deputy said: "Indeed, our previous detection was correct," he sneered, "Before he was arrested, this man also said that he was a Xuanfu practitioner and we had no right to arrest him."
Zheng Jiu sat up straight, placed his hands on both sides of the table, and said, "If I remember correctly, he is from the Liang Zhongdao sect?"
The deputy said: "Yes."
Zheng Jiu's eyes were deep and he said: "There is never just one occurrence of a nightmare. There must be someone in this Taoist sect who has problems."
The deputy reminded: "Si Cha, there are more than a hundred Xuanxiu in the Liang Zhongdao sect. Although most of them are low-ranking, there are three middle-ranking ones in the sect. The leader of the sect, Xu Jian, is a famous expert and is very difficult to deal with. They may
There is also a place where Zhen Cultivator's magic weapons are guarded. If we forcefully rush in to check, there will be too much noise, and if the Chief Zhu Xuan is alerted, things will be difficult to handle."
Zheng Jiu's expression turned cold, and he snorted and said: "Now those Taoist monks are completely unwilling to accept our inspection, but they have too many problems themselves. This matter cannot be left alone. No matter how difficult it is, I will investigate it."
Get down!"
At this time, an attendant ran in from outside, bowed and said: "Si Cha, the chief calls you over."
Zheng Jiu said to his deputy, "We will make arrangements when I come back."
He bowed to the deputy and left.
Zheng straightened his clothes, then left the court and walked along the corridor to the principal's house. After walking for a while, he stopped in front of the door. An old man's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Come on, stop standing there."
Zheng Jiu dressed up again, crossed the threshold, and stepped inside. Sitting in the hall was an old man in his sixties, wearing official uniform and a Xie Zhi crown. This is Xue Zhi, the current head of the Prosecution Department.
, his eyes were always half-closed, and his face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, making it difficult for people to understand his thoughts.
Zheng Jiu came up, clasped his fists, and said, "I've met the boss."
Xue Zhi said: "I called you here because of the report you submitted last time. Envoy Mengjian has already read it. In view of the recent situation, the envoy has agreed with your approach. You can go and give it a go."
Zheng Jiu was shocked and bowed: "Yes, my subordinates will definitely handle this matter!"
Xue Zhi said: "I'm confident in your ability, but you have to be careful. Even if we are hated by others, we must hate us meaningfully. Once the matter is done, it doesn't matter how others hate us. It's easy for others to hate us. You agree."
Huh? I won’t agree, and presumably you won’t agree either.”
Zheng Jiu lowered his head and said, "It's because my subordinates are incompetent and have made things difficult for their boss."
Xue Zhi said: "I'm not in trouble, why should I be in trouble? As long as I stand on the truth, I will speak with confidence." He walked down from above and patted Zheng Jiu on the shoulder. He had to eat the food in one bite and don't think about eating it all in one breath.
, and exhausted myself.”
Zheng Jiu said: "I understand."
Xue Zhi glanced at him and said, "Do you really understand or pretend to understand?"
Zheng Jiu said decisively: "I really understand!"
Xue Zhi took back his hand, looked out of the hall with his sleeves folded, and said: "Xu'er asked me recently, why are you always away from home? Take some time to go home and take a look. If you can't handle the inner house well, how can you handle it well?
Things outside?"
Zheng Jiu said: "Yes, father-in-law."
Xue Zhi looked at him and hummed, "It seems that you really understand." He waved his sleeves as if to drive him away, "Okay, I don't leave any food for you here. You can go back and eat by yourself."
Xue Zhi said yes, bowed and stepped back. When he reached the threshold, he straightened his body and turned around to come out.
When he got outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Even though Xue Zhi was his father-in-law, he always felt an invisible pressure when facing him.
He calmed down, returned to his court, stepped in, and was greeted by the deputy: "Si Cha, the document just reported involves a Xuanxiu named Zhang Yu.
It seems that he is the person who Si Cha requested to find out his whereabouts last time."
Zheng Jiu took it over and took a look and said, "This person is the dean of Kaiyang Academy?"
The deputy said: "Yes."
Zheng Jiu continued to read. Below was a series of comments about Zhang Yu's arrival at Kaiyang Academy. It recorded in detail a battle between him and Tang Chi, as well as records of helping the camp to deal with invading enemies.
Seeing that he was looking at him seriously, the deputy said: "Si Cha, are we going to..."
"Wait a minute." Zheng Jiu made a gesture to him, and he took a few steps forward. After a while, he turned back and said, "Get ready, I'll go see him in person."
