His subordinate "Black Bull" quickly found out the information and informed Ye Mo. The so-called "Four Courts" are Nanshan Court, Chengguan Court, Kuji Court and Ci'en Court. The four courts are responsible for managing the sect and teaching Taoism.
Their ideas were very distinct, and they often discussed and debated with each other in the form of "speculative conferences". Before Tianyin Temple was separated from the Wei Kingdom, it was already a famous event, held every seven years. As for private meetings,
Small debates are countless.
Speculation does not require the use of force. Through this grand gathering, the four houses each promote their own ideas, and take this opportunity to recruit disciples, talk about Taoism and make friends. Along with it, there are various treasure appraisals, transactions, and auctions.
Ye Mo soon understood that this was the same nature as the "Shiqian Alliance" that he had longed to participate in before, but it had just changed the form, from a martial fight to a civil fight.
However, although the format of this year's "Thinking Conference" is the same as in previous years, there are some unexpected situations. Originally, five debaters from each of the four houses would be sent to participate in the meeting, but I heard that three of the four houses have disappeared inexplicably recently.
To become a debater, I have to say that this is an extremely ridiculous thing.
Nanshan Court is missing its chief Yuan Zhen, Chengguan Court is missing its second chair Faye, and Kuji Court’s last seat Hongzhi is missing, except for the five debaters from Ci’en Court. Therefore, various rumors are flying, and the most
It is said that in this grand event, the four houses will select the first guardian since the founding of the sect based on the results of speculation. This is also the special point of this grand meeting. Rumor has it that this has triggered an open and secret fight among the four houses, and the disappearance of the debaters is probably related to this.
.
The protector has a transcendent status in the governance system of the four courtyards of Tianyin Temple. Originally, this position was concurrently held by Yuanying Tongguang, but he had previously fought against Wan Yuting, the head of the Qing Yu Sect, and failed to win with force.
As a result, a large area of territory was ceded. Therefore, various factions in the sect have always complained. This time, taking this opportunity, he decided to resign from this position and handed it over to his younger generation who can better convince the public.
Public sentiment aroused for a while. Jianming City, which was already crowded with pedestrians, was even more crowded. It was heard that the "Thinking Conference" was held and the sect of Tianyin Temple was located in Wuliang City. All the inns were fully booked.
, Ye Mo naturally did not have the opportunity to see it in person, and his original intention was not to join in the fun.
"Let's go visit Nanshan Academy's residence here." After hearing that Nanshan Academy was the head of the four academies and the group with the most monks, Ye Mo chose the target of his group, "Remember, just visit Nanshan Academy and you'll be done."
He said that we met the Jindan Yuanzhen by chance in the Jincheng Sect."
"But we don't know what Yuan Zhen looks like." Another confidant, "Hui Lang" said with concern.
"Is this difficult?" Ye Mo asked back, "You only need to walk around the streets and alleys to know what these debaters look like right now? I can deliberately be vague. After all, if Yuan Zhen is really in the Jincheng sect,
, it’s impossible to be a guest.”
"That's right, but will they be fooled?"
"I don't know if I was fooled or not, but there are only two days left before the conference, and Nanshan Academy, which is missing its chief debater, must be very anxious at the moment. During my visit, you spread the same news in the streets and alleys. As long as the Jincheng faction and the
There is a connection between this missing person, and with the news, those Jincheng sect followers who followed us will probably be afraid and their movements will be restricted. They may even return to the sect to report the news. At that time, we will be in the South China Sea.
The best time to act.”
"However, we still need some tokens." Ye Mo was not satisfied with the plan he had come up with at the last minute. He walked around the room until an idea suddenly came to him at the end, "Hei Niu, go find some itineraries for the Speculation Conference.
The kind that is most commonly printed and distributed.”
It is impossible that Yuan Zhen does not have similar items around him. As for the aura on it, Ye Mo has already thought of it. That is to find a monk from any temple to consecrate it. As long as it is the aura of a monk from Tianyin Temple, they who are urgently ill and seeking medical treatment at this moment should
There will be doubts.
It's enough to be able to feel suspicious, report it to the superiors, and cause a storm to make those who are following you retreat for some reason. After all, the free time you want to fight for is also very short, three days is enough.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan.
Jiang Feng, who had some free time and returned to Luochuan, was just in time for the last item of the Immortal Assembly, which was for the newly promoted disciples to receive the training and blessing from the master.
Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao had prepared everything, but he suddenly felt something. In the blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Feng had landed in the audience hall. He quickly bowed and flew forward, asking Jiang Feng to come out. After all, Jiang Feng was the real leader of the Qianshan Sect.
Door.
Jiang Feng felt that he came at the wrong time.
If it were earlier, it would be logical. If it were later, Wang Xiandao, who had prepared everything well, could handle the matter on his behalf. However, it was neither early nor late, but it was a bit embarrassing. He politely asked Wang Xiandao to continue the process, but Wang Xiandao was a little concerned. In the end, he had no choice but to do so.
, Jiang Feng and Wang Xiandao called on Wei Ruoguang, the elder who was already watching the ceremony, and Zheng Luda, the general elder, to examine the disciples who had ascended to immortality this year.
This year, there are eight Ascendants of the Qianshan Sect. The eldest is eleven years old and the youngest is seven years old. They are quite satisfactory:
A member of the Wang family, named Wang Youzhi, is of the same generation as Wang Yanzhi. Although he is from the main line, his mother is a concubine. There is a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Presumably, this awakening has also affected his mother's status.
promote;
A member of the Zheng family was named Zheng Yibo. His original name was Zheng Bo. He was the same generation as Zheng Yiyu. He was originally a branch son. However, Zheng Ruda was different from Wang Xiandao who always cared about the branch origin. He directly changed the son's name and asked him to recognize his wife Ma as his wife.
The godmother allowed him to get along with the monks of the Zheng family more quickly, and his intelligence and determination really surprised Jiang Feng;
In contrast, Qifu elder Zhao Wenjun had no integrity and directly found an awakened child with the same surname to enter the monastery and changed his name to Zhao Liangchun. Although Wu Xiaolin gave birth to a son, he was still young and could not be called awakened at all. His daughter Zhao Liangdi
Although he was promoted to the Xuan level, he was unable to survive alone and was engaged to be married to Wu Tiande, a descendant of the Wu family. He was also impatient and rushed to seek medical treatment, which was why he made this decision. For this reason, Jiang Feng decided that he must set rules in the future. It is okay to accept disciples, but he must not force him to do so.
, otherwise, the door will soon be filled with smoke and smoke, and won't it be chaos?
The fourth man came from Huangfu's family, his name was Huangfu Xunde, and he was the youngest among the eight awakened monks. His appearance was exactly the same as that of Huangfu Runsheng, the deacon of the Department of Military Affairs, and everyone laughed and sighed that they were definitely a family;
The only female cultivator named Qiu Taki is the sister of the spiritual monk Qiu Ke among the eight monks brought by Su Jin. She came to the Asan Mountain Sect with Qiu Ke. Fortunately, she awakened this year, so she is also included in the list.
Among the disciples of Dengxian;
Shen Chengjing is the sixth person, from the Shen family, the original family. Unlike the others, this son obviously woke up after taking elixirs. It can be seen that after Shen Junmao became the governor of Dayi County, he provided invisible care and support to the family. Although he was already nine years old, Jiang Feng did not want to be so old from the bottom of his heart, so he hurriedly took pills to help him awaken. Thinking that Shen Junmao, who had few monks in the family, also felt a sense of crisis;
Jing Jiehe, the grandson of Jing Chucai, a spiritual monk from the Changning Chamber of Commerce, less than two months after he joined the sect, suddenly presented himself with a junior monk. His intention to join the team was obvious, but Jiang Feng didn't care. This is a good thing, which means Jing Chucai really wanted to settle down in Qianshan Sect and flourish;
The only person born in Baiding, his name is Mao Kan, from Donghu County, he is eight years old, and his Dharma Appearance is also the best among them all, "Muge Liuyunfan", a fighting Dharma Appearance above average.
Depending on their age, these eight people will first study for three to six months at Mengjiao Si, and then be handed over to Lu Tianming, the deacon who teaches the exercises. They will be arranged to practice and engage in different tasks according to their respective circumstances. Speaking of which, eight people can be added to the group within one year. Being a monk is indeed a good thing. Although there is a lot of water in it, one of them took the elixir to awaken, and the two are actually from outside the sect, but as long as their hearts are towards Qianshan, everything will be good.
"There is one more thing." Jiang Feng encouraged everyone and told the children to start from the basic Taoist scriptures and lay a solid foundation. Don't do it too hastily. He turned around and was about to go back home, but heard Wang Xiandao behind him whisper, " This Immortal Ascension Conference will also include treasure giving and treasure presentation."
Um?
What new trick is this, giving treasure?
I didn't have any preparations beforehand, Jiang Feng couldn't help but secretly thought, but when he saw a hint of amusement on Wang Xiandao's face, he suddenly understood why he had to pull her in before, because he was the one who did it, while Wang Xiandao was the sect's Going out, inside and outside, can indeed save some money for the sect.
This is a little thought.
However, Jiang Feng didn't have any preparations at hand. Let's give him a first-order magic weapon. It is indeed a bit heavy for a newly ascended immortal, and he has not yet accomplished anything, so it is not a good start. After thinking for a moment, he took out two first-level magic weapons, the Explosive Talisman and the Water Talisman. Twelve shield talismans each were given to the eight new disciples who had ascended to immortality, and were encouraged to study hard. Once they were proficient in any one, they could receive the reward of sixty first-level spiritual stones three times within a year. Turn around. The five second-level spiritual stones were symbolically handed over to the general elder Zheng Luda. The reward was small, but it must be enough to motivate a few people.
"Master, you are really frugal." Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, Zheng Luda complained half-jokingly and half-sincerely, "
I thought you could throw a few level three."
"No merit will be rewarded, and spiritual stones will always be spent on the blade."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lu Tianming, the deacon who taught the merits, led the eight disciples and presented the treasures one by one. The word "treasure" was just an empty sign. Just imagine what kind of treasure a person who had just ascended to immortality could have, so the request was only made with "sincerity". Things are enough. Although his expectations were very low, Jiang Feng took one of them and was still stunned.
This is a green-headed wild garlic the size of a fist, which is the most commonly used condiment in the world. However, it is rare to grow so big. However, I heard Huangfu Xunde, who presented this treasure, say: "When I was three years old, I planted this. I am looking forward to the day when I wake up and become a monk, I will dig it out to correct the cause and effect. Now, it has grown to this size, so I will present it to the master to show my perseverance. heart."
Hehe, these words are so fluent, Huangfu Runsheng must have taught you. I don’t know how many times you memorized it before you became familiar with it. Jiang Feng couldn’t bear to point it out and accepted it happily. After all, garlic of this size is really rare.
Just throw it back to his disciple Jiang Zhiwen.
The eight items were of different shapes. Most of them were ordinary things. There was even a bellyband that he wore when he was a child. It was unbearable to look at. Thinking that the Qianshan Sect's products were so poor, Jiang Feng felt somewhat sad in his heart. He secretly decided to negotiate with Lingcong Merchant Qiunan.
We must find ways to achieve cooperation with Jia in order to create more opportunities for the sect and make up for the inherent shortcomings of the Qianshan sect.
However, there was still one item that caught Jiang Feng's attention. It was a gray-black ruler, three inches wide and more than a foot long, but it seemed to be only half of it. It looked like an incomplete magic weapon, but its bound spiritual energy had been lost.
Mao Kan, who presented this object, stated that this object came from the sand that had accumulated in the Baishui River for many years and was not afraid of fire, so it was presented to the leader to show his perseverance. Jiang Feng did not care about it at first. After all, it was a magic weapon.
The fragments of the utensil are not rare. But when I took it in my hand, I felt the spirit of the black snake dormant on my arm, which was inexplicably restless, so I put it in the storage bag for inspection at my leisure.
I hope next year's treasure presentation can be more formal, so that I can prepare better gifts. Jiang Feng has a vague expectation in his heart, but he doesn't want to express it in public. After all, all the immortal disciples presenting treasures have glaring eyes, and his words at this moment are actually sarcastic.
So I encouraged everyone a few words, and then together with the elders, we climbed to the Fengyu Tower.
At the end of the year, the elders, deacons, and guards summarized the affairs they were responsible for this year. Overall, there were no major flaws.
From the sect's large treasury, a total of twelve third-level coins and forty-six second-level coins were obtained, which is roughly in line with expectations. However, this year's wind and rain have been unpredictable, and the harvest of various secular products, as well as the spiritual grain used by monks, has been poor. Therefore, a temporary decision was made to allocate
After giving out five third-level coins, he ordered the chief minister Zheng Luda to purchase from the Sifang sects, mainly secular materials, and distribute them to various counties and towns in exchange for work relief.
At the same time, a plan has been made to hold the second martial arts competition of the Asan Mountain Sect next winter. Although the intervals of less than two years are a bit too frequent, many monks from other sects have been recruited recently, and there may be descendants with good qualifications among their descendants.
It is necessary to create opportunities for their talents to be displayed so that they can be placed in a suitable position and assist in various affairs within the sect.
Various affairs in Xiling County are progressing very quickly. The Changning Chamber of Commerce has invested a lot, and coupled with the management of Wei Jie, the guard, and Ding Baozhen, the deacon of the Construction Department, everything is progressing smoothly. Now, small caravans can travel south through the frozen swamp.
In addition, the New Year is approaching, which is a good time for shipments. The commercial taxes must be included in the income. However, Jiang Feng found that Ding Baozhen seemed to have something on his mind, so he took the opportunity to tell Wang Xiandao, who was familiar with him, to find out.
, do you have any difficult questions?
It was not easy for everyone to gather in Luochuan at the end of the year. That night, the sect held a dinner. Jiang Feng said on the spot that next year's monks' monthly salary would be increased by another 20% starting from June. Although he wanted to exaggerate that Haikou would increase by 50%, or even
However, Jiang Feng, who knew that as his income increased next year, his expenses would also increase, he still retained some rationality. However, seeing how many people were grateful, he thought that 20% of the quota was enough.
The important thing is to keep growing, which is in line with Jiang Feng's expectations.
After the banquet, most of the people will return to their bases tomorrow afternoon, and everything will be back on track. Only a few elders are left in Luochuan. Jiang Feng declined Zheng Luda's suggestion to hold another small banquet, and returned to the head's inner palace alone.
.
He originally wanted to take out the half of the ruler he got from his disciple's treasure offering and study it, but under the dim moonlight, he saw a concave and convex figure leaning there, playing with his long, watery hair.
"It was so lively that I came back late. Master, did you miss me?"
