Zuo Ci stood up, put his hands together, bowed and said, "Zuo Ci, pay homage to my lord."
His expression was respectful, and his salute was very natural. There was no trace of the fact that he had been angry with Lu Xuan before. With this attitude, he looked like an old man who had surrendered to Lu Xuan for a long time.
Zhou Yu saw this and was a little surprised by Zuo Ci's transformation, and even more admired Lu Xuan in his heart.
The lord's methods are so powerful!
Especially Zuo Ci surrendered to Lu Xuan because he could get benefits. Even if there was a conflict before, Zuo Ci would go all out to serve Lu Xuan.
Now, there is prosperity and prosperity.
Lu Xuan looked gentle and said slowly: "With the help of Daoist Zuo, I am even more powerful than a tiger. Next, I would like to ask Daoist Zuo to live in the house temporarily. What do you think?"
Zuo Ci replied: "I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Lu Xuan continued: "I fully support the Taoist Priest's consumption in the house. If the Taoist Priest wants to make elixirs, I support it. Just do it. For now, what the Taoist Priest has to do is your own business. We will wait in the future.
After I expand and take control of various places, the Taoist leader will have to integrate the Taoist sects in various places so that the people who believe in the Taoism can live and work in peace and contentment and live a stable life."
Religions like Taoism have always existed and cannot be banned. If you want to abolish it, it will develop secretly.
Buddha and Tao are both the same.
What Lu Xuan has to do is to use it and turn the religious power of Taoism to his own use.
This system is not easy to implement.
Just do it step by step.
Zuo Ci was a little surprised and said in shock: "My lord, there are many Taoist sects in the world. There are five buckets of rice in Bashu. I belong to the Taiqing Dan Tao. There are countless Taoist sects in other places. It is almost impossible to integrate the Taoist sects in the world.
"
Lu Xuan looked confident and said: "Why is it impossible? There is no road in the world. The more people walk, the more people become the road. There is no leader in the Taoist sect, and there is no heavenly master recognized by everyone in the world. So why can't Taoist Zuo do it?
Where is this leader?"
hiss!
Zuo Ci took a deep breath.
He was a little horrified.
The leader of the Taoist sect.
Taoist Heavenly Master.
This is a supreme honor.
Zuo Ci looked at Lu Xuan at this moment, with unprecedented horror in his eyes. He didn't expect Lu Xuan's ambition to be so great, to control all the power of Taoism. Think about it, once it is achieved, it will be an unprecedented opportunity.
Zuo Ci is a wandering warlock and has some influence in the Taoist sect, but in fact it is far from enough.
Thinking of this, Zuo Ci became excited, and the eyes he looked at Lu Xuan became even more fiery.
My Lord, you are truly a man of God.
Zuo Ci's heart was filled with fire, and he solemnly said: "This is a humble position. I should be driven by my lord, and I will not give up even if I die."
Lu Xuanxiao said: "I don't need the Taoist priest to fight to the death, what I need is for you to integrate the power of the Taoist sect for me. Our current power is in Shu County, starting from Shu County, then Lujiang County, and then to the counties in Yangzhou
. Take it step by step, don’t rush.”
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Zuo Ci answered quickly.
Zhou Yu saw all this in his eyes and sighed in his heart, another person was bewitched.
The Lord's words are so powerful.
He didn't know why, but he followed Lu Xuan wholeheartedly. Looking at Zuo Ci's situation now, he had been deceived. He thought about the good life of the leader of the Taoist sect, and completely sided with his lord.
People, that's it.
Once you have desires and ideas, once the obsession deep in your heart is brought out, it will no longer be controllable.
Lu Xuan said: "I will ask someone to arrange a courtyard for Taoist Zuo to live."
Zuo Ci looked humble and said respectfully: "My lord, you don't need to spend a lot of time. A room for me is enough. There are many Lu family members, and me occupying a courtyard alone will bring trouble to my lord."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The Lu family is big enough and has a sufficient yard. I will arrange immediately for the Taoist priest to bring the children around him."
Immediately, he called for his personal entourage, arranged Zuo Ci's residence, and then asked someone to take Zuo Ci down.
Zhou Yu looked at Zuo Ci's leaving figure and couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, you mentioned some magic spells before, such as lotuses blooming instantly, gods arresting ghosts, lamp smoke turning into snakes, and ghost fire disappearing. What are these?"
What’s the secret here?”
Lu Xuan explained: "In the final analysis, it's not a mystery, it's just that you don't understand the tricks. For example, the bones of the fried ghosts previously had been processed and mercury was added to them."
"Once the oil temperature rises, the mercury will rush inside the bones and make a scream like a howl."
"Another example is when I boil oil to wash my hands, there is vinegar underneath. When the temperature in the pot rises slightly, the vinegar boils and rises first. It looks like the oil is boiling."
"As for the sword to slay evil spirits, I have long used special ink to draw the dismembered corpse on the paper. After the ink dried, the patterns drawn on the paper disappeared. When these patterns encountered the turmeric water, they all appeared, and they were
Blood red."
"As for what I mentioned, the lotus blooms instantly, the gods restrain the ghosts, etc., they are all kinds of knocking on the door."
"Just listen to these and you'll be fine."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, they are all deceptions. You can go outside and find any wandering Taoist priests. These people will know more or less. After summarizing many magic techniques, you will naturally have these."
"well……"
Zhou Yu sighed.
In an instant, he lost his curiosity and only felt a little bored.
It's all deception.
Lu Xuan changed the subject and asked: "How is the training of the black armored soldiers progressing now?"
"It's difficult!"
Zhou Yu frowned.
He looked helpless, sighed, and continued: "Tai Shi Ci was responsible for the training of the black armor soldiers, and it went very smoothly. The refugees had enough to eat and drink, and they practiced in an orderly manner. They worked very hard and didn't need to worry."
"But if you teach them to read and write, all of them are stupid and can't learn it at all."
"The strategy I am adopting now is an arrangement of rewards and punishments. If you can complete the literacy task first, I will reward you. If you fail to complete it, I will increase the intensity of training and then punish you."
Zhou Yu said: "Anyway, the current plan is to force everyone to write it down."
Lu Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once the foundation is established, the follow-up will be easier."
"I understand the humble position."
Zhou Yu nodded solemnly and answered.
He stood up and said: "It's late at night, I have to resign from my humble position."
Lu Xuan sent Zhou Yu off personally and returned to the study to consider the upcoming wedding. He said he would give Da Qiao an unforgettable wedding, so naturally he couldn't break his promise and had to arrange it well.
Time passes day by day, and after entering April, the weather gradually becomes hotter.
The eighth day of April.
Zhou Tai came with more than a hundred brothers from Jiang Shang, and Jiang Qin came with Zhou Tai.
This is also a tiger general.
Lu Xuan personally met with Jiang Qin, gave him a good reception, and finally asked Jiang Qin and all the soldiers to be classified as black armored soldiers and obey Tai Shici's dispatch. The sailors brought by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were part of the navy.
Jiang Qin is in charge.
Zhou Tai was transferred from the army and became Lu Xuan's personal guard. The number of black armor soldiers also expanded from more than 800 to 1,000.
After nearly a month of training, the black-armored soldiers have completely transformed.
After eating and drinking enough, they all gained weight and became stronger. Moreover, under Tai Shici's training, these people's combat effectiveness was completely improved.
Zhou Yu made the black-armored soldiers literate and achieved great results. Most of the black-armored soldiers were literate, with the most able to recognize five hundred characters and the worst able to recognize hundreds of characters. Everything was changing rapidly.
It's April 16th in the blink of an eye.
This is the time when Lu Xuan marries Da Qiao and gets married.
On this day, the Lu family was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the house was bustling with excitement. Both the Lu family and Lu Xuan were ready.
In the afternoon, it was almost time to arrive.
As the groom, Lu Xuan led the wedding team out of the Lu family and went to Qiao's family. According to the process Lu Kang told him, Lu Xuan would welcome Da Qiao back to the Lu family to get married before the auspicious time selected in the evening.
