In just a few minutes, in the living room of the small courtyard where everyone in Feilong Village lived, all the divine generals from the Dragon Emperor Temple in Tianfang City had gathered together, including Leng Manxue, who had not been seen for several days, also appeared.
Zhang Tie had renovated the room for Leng Manxue in the small courtyard. Leng Manxue had not come to live in it since it was renovated, and Zhang Tie had not even had time to tell Leng Manxue.
A week after arriving in Tianfang City, Huang Baimei was called to Dragon Emperor City to report to several elders yesterday. When he saw Huang Baimei again today, Zhang Tie could not see anything strange about Huang Baimei's face.
Zhou Baifei, on the other hand, had not seen him for a few days, and when he met again at this time, no matter how much he pretended to be calm, the trace of pride on his face could not be concealed.
"Everyone is here, then take a seat!" Huang Baimei's attitude at this moment was much more easy-going than usual. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he directly asked everyone to sit down. "I went to the Dragon Emperor City yesterday to report on my duties and met with five elders. The five elders have agreed to my resignation as the master of the Dragon Emperor Temple in Tianfang City!"
Huang Baimei didn't open his mouth, but once he opened his mouth, he grabbed everyone's attention in an instant.
Zhang Tie glanced at Leng Manxue. Leng Manxue's face was expressionless. From Leng Manxue's face, Zhang Tie could not see any joy. This seemed to indicate something.
"Ah, Palace Master Huang has resigned from the position of Palace Master, why?" Liu Meng asked directly and straightforwardly.
"Although my identity as the palace master is still there, the Dragon King Temple in Tianfang City is no longer there, and there are not so many temples in the Dragon Emperor Territory to accommodate so many palace masters. My position as the palace master is now only a false one, not worthy of my name. I should have resigned long ago!”
"I wonder how the five elders will arrange the palace master?" No one said anything, but Zhang Tie, the deputy palace master, asked directly.
Now that even the palace master has taken the initiative to resign, he, the deputy palace master, is even more boring. Fortunately, Zhang Tie himself doesn't care much about this identity, so it doesn't matter.
"I asked several elders for a position to be an ascetic monk stationed in the Black Silver Snow Mountain in the northernmost part of the Dragon Emperor Territory to guard against demons. The Council of Elders has agreed!"
Huang Baimei said, and Zhang Tie's mind automatically appeared on the map of Dragon Emperor Territory. At the northernmost part of the map of Dragon Emperor Territory, it was a sparsely populated and desolate land far away from Dragon Emperor City. Those who were stationed in such a place The ascetic monks took the initiative to stay away from the power center of the Dragon King Temple, as if they were sent away. Are there any demons there? Of course not, because even if the demon army were to come, it would come from the south or west of the Dragon Emperor Territory, and would never deliberately go around in a big circle and go to the ungrateful place in the north. There was no important target in that place worthy of the demon army's attack.
Others were afraid to avoid this kind of place, but Huang Baimei took the initiative to ask to go. Several elders of the Presbyterian Church actually agreed. Looking at Huang Baimei's calm face, Zhang Tie's mood became complicated. I don't know. Should I be happy for him or sad for him.
"After I resign as the head of the Dragon King Temple in Tianfang City, you will no longer be my subordinates. In the future, if the temple wants to transfer you, you will not need to go through me. You can freely choose your own way out. Of course, as a new member of the temple, As a general, the basic treatment promised to you by the temple will not change!"
Listening to Huang Baimei's words, everyone in the room had different expressions on their faces. A complex expression flashed across Leng Manxue's face, while a look of ecstasy flashed across Zhou Baifei's face.
The position of the temple master in the temple is definitely a very critical position in the entire temple system. This position connects the high-level and lower-level generals of the temple, plays a connecting role, and has great arbitrary power. , especially when it comes to the arrangement of divine generals in the temple, the authority of the temple master is very great. Without the consent of the temple master, even the Council of Elders cannot bypass the temple master and directly give orders to the divine generals below him. One of the temples A palace master is equivalent to the small princes in the temple, commanding a city or a party, and is extremely majestic.
For example, the lobbyists who came to Feilong Village in recent days, as long as they persuade Huang Baimei, they are actually convincing Zhang Tie and the others. As long as Huang Baimei agrees or is determined, Zhang Tie and the others will only go wherever Huang Baimei goes. Being able to follow the palace master is the authority of the palace master. This kind of authority is the benefit of all the palace masters. It is also the tradition inherited by all the temples in the Sky World. Not to mention the Council of Elders, even when the Dragon Emperor is here, Nor will he easily break such rules and traditions of the Sky Realm and challenge the entire temple's master class.
Huang Baimei's resignation as the head of the palace means that the invisible restraint that restricted Zhang Tie and the others' whereabouts has disappeared. The lobbyists who originally came to win over Huang Baimei may come directly to Zhang Tie and the others. At this time, newcomers like Zhang Tie and the others do not have a mountain or a backer in the temple. This is when the elders and guardians can win them over at the minimum cost.
If the elders and the guardians are monolithic and have the same interests, such wooing is meaningless. The temple only needs to directly issue the order, and everyone can only obey unconditionally. However, because the elders and the guardians have different ideas and have their own calculations, in This seemingly absurd thing would only happen due to the internal game among the top management.
"Yesterday, before I resigned as the head of the palace, I met Elder Shi, who is in charge of the Divine General Academy. Elder Shi mentioned you to me and said that you seemed to have known one of Elder Shi's disciples before. Elder Shi wanted to transfer you to the Divine General Academy. , asked me if I agreed, and I agreed, so your transfer order should arrive in the next two days..." Huang Baimei looked at Zhou Baifei and said.
Everyone looked at Zhou Baifei. There was still a trace of contempt in the eyes of the Liu brothers. After Huang Baimei said this, everyone finally understood what Zhou Baifei had been doing these days. When Zhou Baifei did these things, Huang Baimei had not resigned from the palace. As the leader, he was still his direct superior. After hugging someone else's thigh, he let that thigh put pressure on Huang Baimei and wanted to break away from Huang Baimei's camp. This was really unethical.
The faintly proud look on Zhou Baifei's face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal, "Please don't blame me, Palace Master Huang. I had a close relationship with Brother Shaopeng back then. This time, Brother Shaopeng knew that I joined the Dragon King Temple and came to the Dragon King Temple." Imperial City couldn't help but tell his master about me, and Elder Shi also had good intentions!"
"Of course Elder Shi has good intentions!" Huang Baimei smiled, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, and the waves could no longer be seen between his brows, "The Shenjiang Courtyard is one of the five major courtyards of the Dragon King Temple. You can go to the Shenjiang Courtyard, of course. Good thing, although you will no longer be under my command in the future, I still hope that each of you can achieve great success!"
"Thank you Palace Master Huang for your kind words!" Zhou Baifei gave a hand salute and stopped talking.
"The person in charge of the Supervisory Academy is Elder Xia. I also recommended you to Elder Xia yesterday!" Huang Baimei looked at Zhang Tie and said seriously.
Zhang Tie smiled bitterly and shook his head, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, I have summoned everyone here today just to explain this matter to you. After all, this is related to everyone's future. Outside the five courtyards of Dragon Emperor City, there are notices for knight recruitment from each courtyard. If you have If you have an idea, you can try it yourself. You can decide what happens next..." Huang Baimei waved his hand, and everyone looked at each other and left. Only Zhang Tie stayed.
After everyone left, Zhang Tie laughed and started talking to Huang Baimei directly using the sound transmission technique, "I didn't expect that Palace Master Huang could really pick it up and put it down, which is admirable!"
"What you said that day really touched me a lot. I am not a member of the elders or guardians. It would be too unscrupulous to hug someone's lap at this time, and it is not my true intention. As a Divine generals are still number one in cultivation. It may not be a bad thing to leave the circle of right and wrong in Dragon Emperor City!" Huang Baimei smiled, his tone inevitably a little lonely. Among the divine generals in the temple, except Leng Manxue, Only Zhang Tie could discuss these matters with him.
"I wonder if Palace Master Huang has ever heard of the story of a blessing in disguise?"
"Never heard of it!"
Zhang Tie vividly told Huang Baimei the story of a blessing in disguise. This story did not happen in the sky. Therefore, Huang Baimei, who heard this story for the first time, was completely attracted by the truth in the story. .
"Thank you. I feel much better when you say that. Maybe I will be a blessing this time, hahahaha..." Huang Baimei laughed.
"Maybe we won't have to wait too long before Palace Master Huang will understand how correct his decision is!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's not interesting at all. I have been traveling around the mountains and rivers for the past few days. I am very carefree and bored. I can't help but think about it. If I were a demon king among the demons, after knowing After the situation inside the Dragon Emperor Temple, what will I do? Should I just let it go and let the Dragon Emperor Temple fend for itself, or will I be tempted to do something?"
Huang Baimei frowned deeply at once, "What do you mean?"
"Allowing the Dragon Emperor Temple to fend for itself is one way, but the consequence of this method is that it is possible that within a hundred years, one of the five elders and two guardians of the Dragon Emperor Temple will become the God King and lead the Dragon Emperor Temple again. Cheer up and let the Dragon King Temple resurrect the corpse after the Dragon King disappears, and everything ready-made in the Dragon King Temple can also provide more resources for that person, allowing that person to grow up faster and become a god in the shortest possible time. For the king to advance to the level of God Emperor, this is a risk that the Demon Clan needs to take, and if they try to do anything, it may cause disputes in various temples of the human race. At the worst, it can also cause the Dragon Emperor Temple to fall apart and eliminate the future Demon Clan in advance. An opponent!" Zhang Tie's eyes flashed with a deep light, and there was no trace of casualness at all.
"How is that possible?" Huang Baimei exclaimed.
"Of course it's possible!" Zhang Tie smiled, showing his white teeth, but Huang Baimei felt inexplicably cold, "If I were the Demon Emperor, I wouldn't need an army to invade the territory, I just need to send a few masters to kill a few people in the Dragon Emperor Temple. It is enough to kill the elders and guardians. It is even possible to do it personally. As long as a few elders and guardians of the Dragon Emperor Temple are killed, the Dragon Emperor Temple will disappear. The various temple forces of the human race may even compete for the Dragon Emperor Territory. And the big fight will make us in chaos. This deal is worth doing, so leaving Dragon Emperor City at this time may not be a bad thing... "
Huang Baimei was completely stunned. He had almost never thought about the possibility mentioned by Zhang Tie, because his strength, status and vision determined that he had almost never stood at this level to consider this possibility...
A person's strength and location often determine how far that person can see.
Huang Baimei's mind was instantly confused. He stood up and wanted to go out.
"Elder Huang just resigned from his position as the master of the palace yesterday and went to the Black Silver Snow Mountain to become an ascetic monk. Just one day later, he went to tell several elders and protectors that they might become the targets of the demons. Each of them could not protect themselves. Elder Huang felt that it was difficult to protect himself. What will the elders and protectors think after hearing what you said?" Zhang Tie sighed, "They will never be grateful to you, but just think that you are insulting their intelligence, laughing at their short-sightedness and greed, and despising them. You are incompetent, you are intimidating them, you are alarmist, you are seeking greater interests for yourself. As long as they live for one day and this incident does not happen for one day, they will hate you for one day, laugh at you for one day, and treat you as a thorn in their side. And as long as this thing really happens and proves your right and their stupidity, as long as they are not all killed at once, what is the first thing those who survive will do? You can guess, Palace Master Huang. Guess, I want to seek revenge from the demons, or I want to silence you. As for the reason for killing you, is colluding with the demons enough? If you don’t collude with the demons, how can you possibly know what the demons are going to do?"
One of Huang Baimei's feet had already crossed the threshold, but Zhang Tie's words suddenly froze his figure.
After half a minute, Huang Baimei turned around with difficulty, moved his steps again, and returned to his seat again. He sat down a little heavily, with a bitter look on his face, and looked at Zhang Tie, as if he had just met Zhang Tie. Same, "You... why are you telling me this?"
"The Dragon King Temple is a force of the human race. I am a human race, and I don't want to see the people I know buried with idiots. Is this reason enough?" Zhang Tie shrugged.
"So, what about you, what choice will you make?"
"Of course I will continue to stay in Tianfang City!" Zhang Tie laughed.
"Why? Why don't you leave?"
Zhang Tie looked at Huang Baimei, and his serious and upright expression came out again, "As a human race, I naturally have to contribute to the human race. If such a day comes, I will try to see if I can help a few elders and protectors. revenge!"
If Zhang Tie had said this before, Huang Baimei would still have believed it, but now, Huang Baimei didn't believe it at all, because Huang Baimei had a vague feeling that Zhang Tie seemed to be waiting for the demon master in Dragon Emperor City. Appearance... In Zhang Tie's eyes, several elders and protectors of the Dragon King Temple might just be bait to attract demon masters to appear...
This feeling was so weird and shocking that Huang Baimei even wondered if there was something wrong with his head, why he had such strange thoughts.
"You... have you really lost your memory?" Huang Baimei asked.
"Ah, when you said that, Palace Master Huang, I just remembered that I have a headache again. What did I say just now? Oops, why can't I remember it? Palace Master, do you still remember..." Zhang Tie suddenly touched his head. , looked at Huang Baimei with innocent eyes.
Huang Baimei was speechless and was completely defeated by Zhang Tie...
