"Were you a member of the Nandao Temple?" Fang Yu frowned slightly and looked at Tongyu curiously.
"Don't you know, the Lord? Pavilion Master You was once the master of the Nandao Temple." Tongyu said, "It was only many years ago. The Lord may not have entered the Nandao Temple at that time."
"I see." Fang Yu nodded and said, "This time, is it the intention of Pavilion Master You to select a member from the Nandao Temple to the Shangdao Temple?"
"Hmm... I can't say it's Master You's intention, but this matter must be approved by Master You." Tongyu thought for a while and replied, "The main reason is that the original position of Archdeacon is vacant.
"
"Why is there a vacancy?" Fang Yu asked curiously.
Hearing this question, Tong Yu's expression obviously changed slightly.
"Uh...the reason for the vacancy..."
Tongyu's tone seemed very hesitant, as if he didn't want to say this.
But this just aroused Fang Yu's interest.
"Let's talk about it, Tongyu, there is nothing else to talk about now anyway." Fang Yu smiled, "Besides, when I arrive at the Shangdao Temple, I will serve as the great deacon immediately, and there is nothing to hide from me.
Bar?"
"I don't want to hide it, I'm just afraid that if I say it, it will make... the Emperor feel grudge," Tongyu said.
"Absolutely not." Fang Yu said immediately, "I was already prepared before I came. I know that this position of Archdeacon will not be a particularly good job... So, just say it, no matter what you say
, I can accept it all.”
"That's it..."
Tongyu looked at Fang Yu and thought about it, it was indeed the same.
Even if he doesn't say it now, Fang Yu will definitely know about his predecessor when he takes up a post in the Shangdao Temple.
And he will still have to follow Fang Yu in the future, and he will inevitably be resented for his concealment this time.
No matter how you think about it, there is no need to hide it.
Tongyu took a deep breath and said, "That subordinate said..."
"Tell me quickly." Fang Yu's curiosity has been completely aroused.
"The position of Archdeacon that the Lord is about to take up is to communicate directly with the major forces in the southern continent." Tongyu said, "This position... well... actually has a lot of power, but...
It’s just…um…”
Tongyu was hesitant and hesitant in speaking, as if he wanted to speak but didn't want to say anything.
Fang Yu frowned and said: "Now that you have decided to speak, don't be slow and tell the truth directly... Don't forget, you will be my subordinate from now on."
"Oh, Lord, let me tell you the truth." Tongyu gritted his teeth and said, "This position, as the saying goes, has many opportunities for trickery... The top forces in the southern continent want to contact the Shangdao Temple.
It has to be done through you!”
"So, Your Majesty, you should understand, right?"
Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly.
Tongyu's words actually make it very clear.
In other words, this position of great deacon is very lucrative.
But judging from Tongyu's look and tone, although he thinks there is a lot to be gained from this position, he is not envious of it.
Why is this?
"It's like this, Dianzun... Although this position has many opportunities for trickery, it is also very dangerous." Tongyu said, "Dealing with various top forces is like walking on thin ice... If you are not careful, they will expose the matter.
If you bring it to Pavilion Master You...then things will get very big, you will be dismissed from your post, and then you will be sent to prison, and you will become a prisoner from then on."
"Oh?" Fang Yu raised his brows and said, "You mean if you take out too much oil and water, you will be discovered by the superiors... In this case, isn't it okay if you don't take out the oil and water?"
"I'm afraid... it's not that easy." Tong Yu thought for a while and said, "Let me put it this way, in the past hundred years, the position of Archdeacon... has been changed more than twenty times, almost every three years or so.
They have to be replaced every five years, and almost all of their predecessors were sent to prison, and a few... died."
"Dead? How did you die?" Fang Yu asked, "Committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
"No, they were executed." Tongyu replied, "Those people were too brave..."
"I understand." Fang Yu nodded and said.
"So over the years, no one is actually willing to take the initiative to sit in that position." Tongyu said with a bitter smile, "At least within the Shangdao Temple, not many members are willing to sit in that position, even if it is considered a promotion."
"For example, you." Fang Yu smiled and said, "You have been working under the Archdeacon. If you want to sit in this position, you should have the opportunity after so many years, right?"
"Haha..." Tongyu smiled and did not answer this sentence. Instead, he said, "It is precisely because no member in the Shangdao Temple is willing to sit in this position, so I can only select members from the other four halls..."
"So I was actually cheated." Fang Yu said.
"I dare not say that... Your Majesty, my subordinate is telling you this... not to scare you, but to inform you of the true situation," Tongyu said.
"I know, don't worry, I won't run away." Fang Yu smiled, patted Tong Yu on the shoulder, and said, "I won't be like the predecessors you know."
"Of course that's good!" Tongyu said immediately.
Fang Yu didn't speak anymore, turned to look forward, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This position of Archdeacon is somewhat interesting.
It was more interesting than he expected.
It's not about making money... but about the specific duties of this archdeacon.
