Since ancient times, how to negotiate business has been a delicate matter, and different methods of negotiation have to be used for different people.
Just like the gambler who is in dire straits, as long as you give him a little benefit, he will risk his life for you; and like the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he only needs to be intimidated, and he will smoothly switch sides and take advantage of you.
For this group of foreign monks, straight-forward negotiations are impossible. They already have a buyer, and now Lu Hanjiang comes to their door. Even if they ask for a price, I am afraid that it will not arouse their interest, but suspicion.
Therefore, what Lu Hanjiang had to do was to stretch his muscles, delaying and putting pressure on the other party, without clearly revealing Jin Yiwei's identity.
In order to test each other's bottom line, and in order to make the other party think that they can also test Jin Yiwei's bottom line, they must pretend to be confused and use this method of hedgehogs hugging each other to keep warm, and test each other's bottom line bit by bit.
Therefore, Taoist Priest Tianquan of the Qingcheng Sect can be used just now. It is not necessary to make the Fox Immortal Tower cause any trouble, as long as it makes the matter bigger.
After finalizing the plan, the next step was how to implement it. Early the next morning, Lu Hanjiang went to visit Tianquan. He was seriously injured yesterday, but fortunately, it didn't hurt his insides. He could just rest for a few days.
recovered.
So, Lu Hanjiang told the other party his plan. He said: "Fellow Taoist Tianquan, the power behind the Fox Immortal Tower must have extraordinary origins. It cannot be said that it is supported by foreign sects. I am afraid it will be difficult for you and me to do it alone."
Deal with it."
Tian Quan was smart and immediately understood what Lu Hanjiang meant. He nodded and said: "Brother Yue is right, the Fox Immortal Tower is a disaster, and Monk Hu is also involved. If it is leveled, it will also eliminate harm to the world. We should find more
It’s the helper.”
If you can't fight alone, then call a group of people to fight and travel around the world. This is the simplest truth, but where should you find helpers?
Tianquan coughed and said: "I heard that about a day's journey west of here, there is Wuyin Temple, and there is a master in it, called the 'Kung Fu Monk', and his martial arts seems to be quite powerful."
Tianquan Xiaotaoist is indeed a chivalrous person, but he is also a disciple of the Taoist sect and has his own little calculations. That monk is not easy to mess with, and I am afraid that both sides will lose in a fight. This kind of unfortunate thing should be left to
It is most appropriate to deal with these monks.
Lu Hanjiang also smiled and said: "I also happen to know that there is a Lotus Temple on the same day's journey north of here, where Monk Lingcheng, the 'King Kong King of Swords', practices cultivation."
Lu Hanjiang and Tian Quan looked at each other and smiled knowingly. It seemed that they had thought of getting together.
In this matter of Buddhism, whether it is a foreign bald donkey or a monk from the Central Plains, it is up to them to clean up the snow in front of their own door. How can they let outsiders interfere?
Everyone had the same idea, so the two hit it off. Taoist Master Tianquan was still injured, so he, Qian Xiaoxiao and the Zhao brothers and sisters went to Wuyin Temple, while Lu Hanjiang and Huangfu Xiaoyuan set off for Lotus Temple.
After determining the direction of the separate operations, everyone set off immediately.
Lu Hanjiang went to the horse and carriage shop to rent a carriage, and by the way he also hired a carriage driver, and he and Huangfu Xiaoyuan went north happily.
On the way, Huangfu Xiaoyuan whispered in the car: "I have also heard about the reputation of the 'King Kong King of Swords'. This man is good at wielding a sword and is quite famous in the world. However, if you want to deal with that fox...
The masters in the Immortal Tower are still a few points behind."
Lu Hanjiang nodded: "It seems that Xiaoyuan, you have a high opinion of the masters in that building."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan said calmly: "That day, although the monk on the tall building didn't take action, I did feel a dangerous aura from him... My intuition has always been pretty accurate."
Lu Hanjiang shrugged and smiled: "It doesn't matter, be it the 'Bad Sword King Kong' or the 'Love-Destroying Mad Monk', I never expected them to overthrow the Fox Immortal Tower. If just a few masters can level this place, then
We don’t have to bother trying to plot against them.”
Huangfu Xiaoyuan said thoughtfully: "It seems that wiping them out is not what you want. Your purpose is to use these people to make this matter bigger?"
Lu Hanjiang nodded slightly: "Those Hu monks here are outsiders after all. They are not willing to act in secret. They are really helpless. If they are driven away by the Shaolin from the north and the south before it becomes a problem, it will be a disaster."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan frowned and said: "Even if Monk Hu is very powerful in martial arts, he will definitely not be the opponent of Shaolin monks. If you attract the attention of the world and make Shaolin eradicate them in one fell swoop, how can we cooperate with them?"
"Why can't we cooperate?"
Lu Hanjiang chuckled: "It's better to give someone help when they need it. When they are well-clothed and well-fed, you may not be able to win over them even if you offer them delicacies. But when they are down and out, even throwing away a bone can make them flock to you."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan stared: "I see, you have no intention of supporting them at all."
Monk Hu, who has taken root in the Central Plains and developed his power, and a group of street rats who were beaten to pieces by Shaolin are two completely different things.
If Lu Hanjiang really wanted to support them, he would have to force him. He would feed the other party with sweet dates in one hand, and you would have to eat the benefits even if you didn't want to eat them. He would hold a knife on the other person's neck with the other hand, and there was nothing you could do about it.
It has to be done, this is how Jin Yiwei talks about business.
But judging from the current situation, Lu Hanjiang had obviously forgotten the sweet dates and was only thinking about how to chop the opponent.
"Nothing is so easy in the world. If just supporting a foreign sect can threaten Shaolin's status, then we don't have to worry about it for so many years."
Lu Hanjiang sneered and said: "It is enough to get the evidence that these monks and the prince are united. As for these monks... haha."
It's not that Lu Hanjiang looks down on foreign monks, it's just that the Buddhists in the Central Plains are really not easy to mess with. Not to mention the temples all over the world, with countless believers, huge wealth, and the famous Shaolin North and South, with countless masters among them.
The front of the Central Plains Buddhism is Shaolin in the North and South, and behind Shaolin there is the support of the entire Central Plains Buddhism. Unless Jin Yiwei personally ends up, these monks alone will not be able to compete with such a behemoth in another hundred years.
possible.
After Huangfu Xiaoyuan pondered for a moment, he said: "So what we have to do is to attract Shaolin masters to demolish the Fox Fairy Tower and force them into a desperate situation, and then you will come forward to talk to them?"
"Just think of it as watching a big show. The reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect has long been ruined in the world. Even if we are willing to help, in their eyes, we may have bad intentions. In this case, why should we make it uncomfortable?
.”
Lu Hanjiang changed into a comfortable position and lay down, closed his eyes and said: "Buddhist masters fight foreign evil monks. If the bald donkey from the Central Plains wins, I will be happy, but if those bearded people win for the first time - haha
