As an old servant with no official position, Jiang Hai and Wang Yi, the deacon of the Rolling Curtain Department, participated in the entire presbytery meeting. The latter wanted to record the meeting in the head's record, but he had always participated routinely, so
No one has ever objected.
"It is said that during the short period of time after Ren Wudao planned to go to the Sea of Rocks to find an opportunity, no one in the sect opposed him on anything." Jiang Hai thought for a while and said something with a lot of meaning.
"In other words, in their eyes, I might be dying?"
"Yes, even if the sect is sold, it is still your fault as the previous leader. Although your reign is short, it does not prevent you from making many mistakes."
Although this is true, it sounds a bit heartbreaking.
However, when talking about the length of time, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that the old servant who had been with him the longest was Jiang Hai. It was really dark under the lamp. He was designated as the successor to the head. He only thought that many elders might know the secret.
I forgot about the people who have been by my side these past few years.
"Old Hai, do you know why Ren Wo Dao appointed me to succeed you as the leader?"
"As far as I know, the successor Ren Wudao initially preferred was not you, the leader, but Jiang Kaiji." Jiang Hai said slowly, his wrinkled pupils at the corners of his eyes full of confusion, as he fell into deep memories.
.
"Jiang Kaiji?" Jiang Feng savored the name carefully and remembered that this was also one of the five people who went to Fuyuan Town. The "Kai" generation could be regarded as the direct descendant of the "Qibao Gourd" family, "But he is dead?"
"According to what Ren Wodao said in public, he was killed in a sneak attack by an unknown sect, but there was no proof of his death, so he hastily erected a tomb. The lack of a body has always been the biggest doubt, but no one dared to ask, and besides, our Qianshan Sect is a
A small sect with little strength has no real enemy that needs to secretly kill us."
"Is it the person chosen by me personally?"
"No, back then, it was not his idea to select you to sacrifice to the ancestors. It was an outsider, a strange visitor with a vertical eye on his forehead. He had only been in Qianshan Sect for a few days."
"People from the Vantage Gate?"
"This is the first time I heard about this. I was there that day. Ren Wudao summoned all the young people from the three major families. He chose among them, and finally selected you and four others. Later Ren Wodao
On the pretext that all four of them died, and on the pretext that you were 'quite lucky and qualified for a big job', I appointed you as the next head of the clan, and rushed to the sea of rocks soon after. You must already know what happened next."
Vantage Gate?
A big question mark was drawn in Jiang Feng's mind. It seemed that if he wanted to know the secret, he still had to find those few visitors from the Vantage Sect back then. Moreover, since they acted so mysteriously, it would be difficult to find them even if they were found.
Use legitimate means to get them to tell the truth.
This matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

The road to Wu's house is familiar and brisk.
As the elder who was the first to completely succumb to him, communication with Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, has always been smooth. However, after encountering the embarrassing incident of the Wu family's internal affairs, Jiang Feng still sent the thin-faced boy Zhang Yang to inform him in advance.
Compared to Wang Yi before, his legs and feet were much more agile. When Jiang Feng arrived, Wu Quanzhong was already eagerly waiting outside the mansion to greet Jiang Feng.
"Head!"
"Well, let's talk inside the house."
The two sat down and the spiritual tea was served. Wu Quanzhong stepped back and said in a low voice, "Master, this trip to Stormrage Canyon is a little rushed. Can you delay the departure for a few days? I'll try to find a way to borrow some useful magic."
Qi, although the Nangong family has a small territory, their ancestor Nangong Xiangwan has advanced to Jindan for many years. We are still on good terms with them. If I go there quickly, maybe it will be too late. After so many years of friendship,
He should give us some thin noodles."
"I'm determined."
Jiang Feng took a sip of the spirit tea and said, "Don't worry too much. Frankly speaking, this trip is indeed a narrow escape, but be careful. If you don't covet the treasure, you still have a good chance of returning safely. The Nangong family is a human race, and the shape of the magic weapon is
It is different from us, the time required for sacrifice is also longer, and once this favor is used, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on our future trade negotiations."
"That's what the leader is doing. But compared to the safety of the leader, these are all trivial matters." Wu Quanzhong leaned slightly closer to Jiang Feng, "Although our supplies depend entirely on them going to sea, I have also contacted Xihai recently.
Li family, if the negotiation goes well, I would like to transfer some of the supplies to them for sale."
"It's up to you to make the decision. In this regard, let's do it freely. We are too far away from the sea, otherwise we wouldn't be subject to so many restrictions. Even if we do some trade, we will make more profits."
"Yes." Wu Quanzhong sighed. As a foreign affairs elder, he must have received a lot of cold looks and sniffs when he was welcoming and delivering goods to various sects because he needed to rely on other people's trade routes to sell supplies.
"But it's not that there are no opportunities. When the world is in chaos, it may be our opportunity. But before that, we have to do our best internally. With the strength of our Qianshan Sect, we can't do those ambitious things for the time being." Jiang Feng was afraid that he would be discouraged.
, put forward his own ideas.
"Yes, I understand. Fortunately, the old relationships are still there, and the trade routes are relatively smooth for the time being."
"You plan to set up a temporary business inn in Zhenwu City, Li Zong. The location can be more remote, but the area should be as large as possible. After I open up all the joints, I can change it to a separate courtyard." Jiang Feng took out a three-dimensional storehouse.
Ruyi's magic weapon was prepared for the Tuoba Tu Dharma Conference. However, the Dharma Conference turned into an alliance and has not been used.
"Let's take it as a fee."
"Master, how can this be good? It is against the rules to keep subsidizing the sect."
"You and I know the situation of Daku. There is no need to care about these details." Jiang Feng pushed the Ruyi magic weapon in front of him, "According to the rules I established when I became the leader, I cannot touch Daku. I also know that you
I'm afraid that I have selfish motives. After all, I come from a poor Jinhu family. If I spend the treasury carelessly, I might have the past experience of emptying out the treasury."
"Everywhere, we all see the leader's selflessness. I will tell them that this rule must be changed. The leader cannot use the large treasury. This is unreasonable."
"It's okay. Quanzhong, don't feel pressured."
Although Wu Quanzhong's statement made Jiang Feng deeply gratified. It seemed that there was some reward for the sect's selfless dedication. However, recovering the power that had been released was not as simple as imagined. The majority of people must be willing to do this.
Only then can the door form a combined force and move forward together.
He believed that Wu Quanzhong and Zheng Luda would not have any regrets about reclaiming the power of Da Ku. As for Wei Ruoguang, he should abstain from voting as usual. Only Wang Xiandao and Zhao Wenjun might have other ideas, but this is not too important.
The important question is that the treasury cannot be empty. If it is, even if it can be used, what is the point? Moreover, thinking about it conversely, even if it can be used, what is the meaning of emptying the sect to yourself?
Of course, this is something.
"If you agree, when I find a monk who is good at managing internal affairs, I will hand over the management of the treasury to him, so you can rest assured."
"Yes, yes. In fact, it is the same as if you personally manage it as the leader. Everyone can see the changes in the Qianshan Sect. I will go back to Luda. The leader should not refuse this matter anymore."
"Well, you decide. The development of the sect still depends on everyone's concerted efforts. By the way, how are your Tianzhe and Tiancui houses doing now?"
"Fortunately, they are more sensible. I sent people to investigate secretly, and they are no longer so lavish with Hua Lingshi. I even received a letter a few days ago. I have to thank the boss for his help in this matter."
Wu Quanzhong stood up and personally filled Jiang Feng's cup of spiritual tea.
…………
"Thank you for your 'Yungui Medicine Oil'."
Jiang Feng once again thanked Wei Ruoguang. He didn't know much about this Wei family member but had already joined the Qianshan Sect. Jiang Feng still put "politeness" and "respect" first.
Wei Ruoguang's residence is not near the Wei family's residence, but a small courtyard in a separate courtyard, which is closer to the head's inner palace. The furnishings in the house are simple but each piece is exquisite. If you look closely, each item seems to have its own story.
"You're welcome, Master. This is what I should do, but my ability is limited and I can't provide much support." Wei Ruoguang spoke very calmly, which was completely different from Wei Jie's meandering and sometimes revealing style. .
"Do the disciples from various martial arts families have any problems in passing on their martial arts?"
"It's not bad. It's just that the foundation is different and the Dharma is different. I may still need time to straighten it out. Although I have reached the level of cultivation, as a master who preaches, accepts karma and resolves doubts, it may not be suitable. I hope the leader understands this, but I will try my best. Done."
"Okay, I believe you. Don't put too much pressure on me. The foundation of Qianshan Sect is very weak."
"Yes, Master."
Wei Ruoguang nodded, "Although the number of monks in our sect is not large, in the last martial arts competition, five disciples were recommended from various places. I asked Zheng Luda. Judging from the ordinary people in our territory, more than a dozen awakened disciples are born every year. It is still possible to become a monk with a Dharma form. In this regard, I suggest that we can find ways to tap into the potential."
"Ascension Conference?"
Jiang Feng knew what he meant. Wei Ruoguang could see the root of the problem, which meant that this person was still a practical person. The most important thing for the growth and decline of the sect's strength was the quantity and quality of the monks. The most important thing about quality was having a combat-type magic aura. The ratio of monks is lower than the average level of the Asayama Sect due to the historical reasons of the ethnic group. Therefore, it is particularly important to work hard in terms of quantity.
There is still a huge gap between five people and more than ten people.
"I have asked the Ceremony Department and the Curtain Department to make arrangements for this matter. The Ascension Conference can be held again this winter."
"It turns out that the master has a plan a long time ago, but I was overly worried." Wei Ruoguang's eyes flashed with a glint. He originally thought that Jiang Feng's thoughts were only on outstanding disciples like the top eight martial arts masters, but now it seems that he actually wants to Crooked.
"You should reach out wherever you can help, and don't limit yourself to the position of elder who teaches martial arts."
"yes."
"What are your thoughts on the monk battle formation?"
Since Wei Ruoguang is already the elder of Chuan Gong, Jiang Feng doesn't want to guard against him on these sensitive matters. Judging from the limited understanding before, this person is still reliable and not ambitious. Of course, Jiang Feng feels that he has the ability to judge people.
Generally speaking, it is possible to see things wrongly. Where he was born, his horizons were limited. Jiang Feng knew in his heart that this shortcoming could not be changed overnight, but in the position of the leader, he did not worry about the opportunity to practice.
"We must build the monk battle formation, but now is not the time."
Wei Ruoguang stretched out two fingers and said, "There are two points. One is the issue of spiritual stones, including the issue of spiritual veins. The monks in our sect have always lacked resource support in this area. Although you, the leader, have basically solved the problem of spiritual veins,
There is a problem of short-term consumption of stone, but spiritual veins provide continuous support. We must find a way to do this early. It is also excellent to cultivate low-level spiritual veins and open some training caves;"
"In addition, we must consider the pressure from the sects around us. The Qianshan Sect is adjacent to the Li Sect to the west, the Jincheng Sect to the east, the Heishui Gate to the south and Wei State, and the Hanshan Sect to the north and is adjacent to the Yufeng Sect. There are powerful forces on all sides.
Those who rush to develop the monk battle array will only be suppressed or even directly intervened by them. Therefore, I think that we must first concentrate on developing it secretly for a period of time, get all the conditions in place, and then wait for the surrounding situation to change. Although there is not much hope in the short term,
But Master, you are still in your prime."
"It's an insult to your talent to let you be the elder who teaches the power." Jiang Feng said with a smile, "You can't see clearly what Quanzhong talks about. What he cares about most is the spiritual stone."
"Elder Quanzhong focuses on expanding business routes, communicating with each other, and making profits for the sect. I am not as good as him in this regard." Wei Ruoguang looked much more relaxed when he talked about Wu Quanzhong. Several elders in the sect, with Jiang Feng's deliberate help,
Wei Ruoguang and Wu Quanzhong are most familiar with each other. Their views are generally similar and they get along very harmoniously.
"To be honest, although the Fuhai Sect is a bit stronger, the surrounding situation is still similar to the Qianshan Sect. When I was at the Fuhai Sect, I often studied this method with others, but..."
"Let's go over the past and look forward." Jiang Feng knew that he was remembering the days of frustration at Fuhaimen. He had just heard Wu Quanzhong, the general secretary, talk about this, "Qianshan Sect is your new stage.
, just let it go.”
"Yes, Master, let bygones be bygones, and I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity." He suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, as if he was deeply moved.
"What are you doing, Ruoguang, it doesn't have to be like this." Jiang Feng quickly stood up, held his hands tightly, and squeezed them together, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
