Strange mountains and rivers

Wu Tianen sighed softly, rubbed his hands and shook his head.

"Huaisheng, you have been in seclusion for the past two years, and you don't know much about the situation. The current sect is not as good as it was seven years ago. Seven years ago, the Chonghua sect had less than two hundred people, but now it has over eight hundred. Just building There are more than thirty people in Jidu, and most of them are from the Nine Lotus Sect branch and Lingyun lineage. The leader now also needs to consider the influence of all parties..."

"Uncle, is it Uncle Linghuzui and Duguo who are against it?" Chen Huaisheng frowned, "Or is it Uncle Qi Hongkui?"

"All of them." Wu Tian'en thought for a while and then said: "It's not just about the selection of talents, it also involves the appointment of our sect's deacons, the Zhike Courtyard, the Chuangong Courtyard, the House of Internal Affairs, the Law Enforcement Court, and the Fourth Courtyard. How to match the deacons and governors, and the matter of re-establishing the Presbyterian Church was also brought up. They have been arguing for half a year, and the dispute continued. It was not until Li Yu came back that the head entrusted Li Yu to preside over the operation..."

Sure enough, Chen Huaisheng also guessed that as the sect's strength and power expanded, it would inevitably involve the reorganization and struggle for internal power.

The current Chonghua Sect is not limited to Fuyang Road. In addition to Wolong Ridge and the surrounding areas, there are also Chongyang Mountain in Ji County and Dahuai Mountain on Weihuai Road, as well as the lower courtyard of the White Pagoda.

These places involve the spiritual land Baoze in the mountains, the surrounding spiritual fields, and the city. It also includes the management of attached and recruited Taoist species and mortals, and even the clans that have gradually established a dependent relationship with the Chonghua Sect. Dealing with the relationship with Baozhai.

This is no longer simply the management of hundreds of disciples of the Chonghua Sect, but also includes the management of thousands of Taoist species and mortals, plus the distribution of interests with surrounding clans and sects.

"It seems that we can't live well both internally and externally now." Chen Huaisheng said with a wry smile, "I think I shouldn't leave seclusion and should continue to practice hard indifferently, so as not to be bothered by these things. ”

Wu Tianen burst out laughing, "Huaisheng, what is the only practice in your life? Doesn't your Bailu Taoist Temple also employ dozens of people? There are also Fang Baoqi and Min family girls. By the way, the girl from Yuanhe Sect now They are also on your side, Hu Delu, Sandang Ling, and Zhao Liangkui are also following you, how can you hide them? "

Chen Huaisheng laughed self-deprecatingly, "Master taught me that there are some things that can't be avoided? As soon as I came out of seclusion, I faced the fact that the Taoist temple was almost unsustainable. Although I have made a lot of progress, other people have Still working hard, the spiritual materials needed for cultivation and the cultivation of spiritual grass and monsters will cost a lot of spiritual stones, and that monthly amount is far from enough."

Unexpectedly, Chen Huaisheng also mentioned the monthly rules, and Wu Tianen was very surprised to hear it.

I have never heard Chen Huaisheng mention this in the past. It can be seen that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. Chen Huaisheng also needs to take more responsibility for the people around him. This is not a bad thing.

In Wu Tianen's view, people like Hu Delu and others, with their qualifications and endowments, if they did not follow Chen Huaisheng, they would probably have no choice but to mediocrely follow the waves in the Chuan Gong Academy. Maybe they would be in the middle of Qi Refining in twenty or thirty years. , and can’t even advance to a high level. After eighty, they can only wait to die.

But now, maybe Chen Huaisheng can give them a different hope and ending.

There are not so many taboos when talking to Wu Tianen, including some of his feelings about breaking through the third level of seclusion in the past two years, and even the art of inner refining.

Although Wu Tianen has also realized something, he also knows that everyone's situation is different. Chen Huaisheng's internal alchemy, including taking red crucian carp blood and other substances, may have some effect, but this is definitely not the main reason. Otherwise, even if geniuses and rare treasures are rare, if If you can rely on genius and rare treasures to break through the realm step by step and advance to the next level, then this practice is too simple.

Chen Huaisheng also knew this. If the two spirits of tiger and ape had not swallowed up the elixir of King Jinxu Ao and digested it, and then refined it twice in the furnace in his Tao body, how could he have crossed over in two years? The threshold in the middle.

But it cannot be denied that the Ziyang Internal Refining Technique has indeed played a great role, and it coincides with the essence of his own technique.

"Huai Sheng, although you are at the fourth level of foundation building, you should not underestimate the new disciples of our sect. I have to say that Jiulian Sect is also a super sect in the past. The few disciples chosen by the leader are indeed quite outstanding. Maybe They are not as good as you, but they are definitely comparable to Zhuo and his party."

Wu Tianen also reminded Chen Huaisheng: "The leader may be a little out of favor, but I don't think Ding Zongshou cares about this. Shao Yunquan is attracted by him and is fighting with Linghu Zui. The other Qin Zongliang, Du Guo wants to take over." Disciple, this made the head a little embarrassed. I just said it depends on Qin Zongliang himself. Qin Zongliang is a very smart young man..."

"Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Chen Huaisheng laughed, "I want to say that once my current situation comes out, the possibility that the master will want to recruit Qin Zongliang will greatly increase. Qin Zongliang will want to Become the second me?”

Wu Tianen also laughed, "I didn't say that, but I'm sure the leader will suddenly feel more ambitious. It all depends on Qin Zongliang's own will."

This is what the sect fights for. Fighting for power and profit is the most common thing, but fighting for high-quality resources is even more ruthless, and outstanding disciples are also a kind of high-quality resources.

It was not until Chen Huaisheng said goodbye that Wu Tianen lowered his voice and said: "Huaisheng, the situation in the sect is complicated. Now that you are suddenly in the middle, I estimate that the deacons and governors of the four courtyards will have to readjust. Maybe the head of the sect will want you to Take up the position, but I think you may not be suitable now..."

Chen Huaisheng stood still and said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. Disciple understands that my fourth level of foundation building is still a little weak, and I have to recuperate for a period of time. In addition, I will go out once in the mountains, and I am afraid I don't have that much energy." I have to do these mundane tasks, not to mention there are many senior brothers and uncles who are better than the disciples. As a newcomer, I suddenly appear, I am afraid it will also attract some criticism. Master must have considered this, and the senior uncle also helped me. Let’s talk to Master.”

Wu Tianen nodded. He did not want Chen Huaisheng to get involved in this power struggle now. Although Chen Huaisheng's strength has improved rapidly, his foundation is shallow. If he really wants to rise to the top, there will be many fetters and a lot of energy involved. For Chen Huai Not suitable for birth.

"You Shaoyou may return to Shanmen, and the director of the Baita Taoist Academy will be free. This is a good position. If you are interested, you might as well choose to go to Baitapu." Wu Tianen said thoughtfully: "You have a lot of expenses now. Going to the White Tower Taoist Temple can help you fill this gap,..."

Chen Huaisheng was slightly moved.

Baitapu was the original territory of the Ding family. However, after the Ding family joined the Chonghua sect, they voluntarily gave up Baitapu. Now it has become the place where the Chonghua sect cooperates with the Ding family's in-laws, the Sun family.

Although Ding Yuangao and Sun Fuyi assisted You Shaoyou when You Shaoyou was the head of the White Pagoda House, as the Chonghua faction's control grew stronger, Ding Yuangao returned to the mountain gate long ago, and only Sun Fuyi was assisting.

Chen Huaisheng was the one who negotiated with the Sun family in the first place. He also had some friendship with the Sun family. If he went to Baitapu to serve as the chief, he could control a fairly stable financial channel, which was far better than relying on plundering and hunting to gain income.

But after thinking about it again and again, Chen Huaisheng still shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Master. I am a little tempted, but I feel it is not suitable now. If Master Uncle You comes back, I am afraid there will be many people eyeing that position, right? Master, right?" If you continue to support me, this position is too tempting. If I go, Master will be under a lot of pressure. In addition, I don’t have anyone suitable for me now. I can’t let Senior Sister Fang come forward, right? Their strength is still too weak..."

This is the truth.

To be in charge of the White Pagoda Lower Court, you don't need to be strong enough in the spiritual realm. The sect will hand over the White Pagoda Lower Court to you. When it comes to market transactions, you have to turn over the spiritual stone income to the sect every year.

With rights come responsibilities. Otherwise, would it be so easy to be the head of the House of Commons?

In addition, you have to deal with Fengyi Sect in the south and Bajiao Village in the west. There may even be attacks by zombies and monsters. Even if you can get the support of the sect, a battle in a short period of time is inevitable, but Can you survive on your own?

Obviously not.

Chen Huaisheng is still self-aware. Maybe after another three to five years, he will reach the advanced stage of foundation building. Hu Delu and others can also reach the advanced stage of qi training, so he can help himself. He can find a job in this kind of position. .

Now, you still have to build up your strength.
