"We're not afraid of ten thousand, we're just afraid of what happens if Song Zhi hesitates or even betrays him. This person's cultivation level is not weak. He is at the tenth level after all." Qin Gao couldn't help but ask.
"At that time, we can reduce our efforts a little and let Song Zhi spend a little time. It is not up to us to decide whether he is round or flat. If he kills Pei Ziyun, he will be like a grasshopper on the same line as us. I don't believe he can change the world."
Shi Mu Zhong sat down confidently, clasped his two fingers together, nodded slightly, and said, "And we have to think about it for a long time. Pei Ziyun killed our chess piece in Yingzhou, and we have to build another one for the young master."
"Song Zhi did this. Regardless of whether he killed Pei Ziyun or not, he must be controlled by us. Even if this person becomes the head of Songyun Sect, it will be the same."
"In the mortal world, you may be able to control the entire sect through life and death. As things change, it doesn't matter even if it is leaked."
"But in the Dao Sect, there is also the Patriarch of the Blessed Land!"
"Although the Patriarch is a fairy, Yin and Yang are separated from each other, and all the sages are confused. It is easier said than done to see clearly and neatly. Therefore, he is not afraid of seeing through, but can also control Song Zhi, which is just for the Young Master's use."
"When the young master becomes Taoist in the future, he will definitely become the leader of the Taoist sect. This move must be more practical than Meng Luogong." After saying this, Shi Muzhong couldn't help but laugh. Qin Gao was fascinated by this and nodded repeatedly, also sneering. : "Song Zhi is really pitiful and hateful. He is one of ours and I would have killed him long ago, but it is not bad to use a chess piece."
"We are going to make arrangements first. This time, me, you, and Song Zhi, our martial arts skills are similar to or even higher than Pei Ziyun's. Three against one, can't we deal with it?"
"This time there will be a thunderous strike to eliminate this trouble."
Qin Gao listened, nodded repeatedly, and suddenly asked: "Actually, I have always had a question, how did you know Pei Ziyun's whereabouts?"
"Haha, this is my master's secret method. You only need to see it once to guide him. Although he cannot clearly grasp the opponent's movements, he generally knows his whereabouts." Shi Muzhong said with some pride: "Otherwise, how could I catch up with him again and again?"
"Awesome!" Qin Gao was sincerely convinced, but secretly felt stern, such a person is really terrifying.
Songyunmen·Taoist Temple
"Senior Brother Hao, you've been looking a little weird these past few days. Are you lovesick or have something on your mind? Even the rice doesn't taste good." There are dishes on the table. Taoist priests in this world have meat, and the cuts are square. The pork chops are grilled brown and coated with marinated oil. Otherwise, they are all vegetarian dishes and are full of aroma.
Hao Yong and several Taoists were sitting at the same table, and a familiar junior brother beside him was looking at Hao Yong curiously.
"Nothing." Hao Yong put down his bowl and chopsticks after only eating a mouthful, and smiled, but the matter in his heart was too big and he was still speechless.
"Senior brother, you have been depressed in the past few days. It's just that you and I are in the sect. If there is a big thing, there will be a master. The elders will take care of it. No matter how big the problem is, the founder of Blessed Land will still take care of it. Whatever worries you, you can't get over it. The only obstacle is the difficulty of getting over it." The Taoist said naggingly.
Hearing this, Hao Yong felt something in his heart. Yes, the leader of this sect cannot handle the affairs of the sect with one hand, and the founder is here. It’s really hard to live in the middle. I just get some silver. The matter is not big, so there is no need to do it myself. If you try to hide it, you might be labeled an accomplice.
Thinking of this, Hao Yong immediately got up and left without even having to eat.
"Master, I have something to report." Hao Yong knocked on his master's door.
"Come in!" Seeing the disciple come in, Elder Chen frowned: "Hao Yong, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your face is pale, but there is something wrong with your practice?"
Hao Yong immediately knelt down and said, "Master, I have done something wrong and I must report it to Master."
"What did you do wrong?" Elder Chen was shocked and suppressed his smile.
"Master, a few days ago, Senior Brother Song Zhi used money to buy information from me. I thought I was just competing with Junior Brother Pei for the position of leader, but I didn't expect that Senior Brother Song secretly colluded with others to murder Junior Brother Pei." Hao Yong said on his knees. .
"What? Colluding with outsiders? Tell me in detail." Elder Chen was startled, his body trembled, he sat up straight and listened to a few words: "There is also this matter, you overheard this matter, follow me quickly Go find Elder Yu and explain this matter clearly."
After saying that, he led the people in a hurry and walked south through the corridor to a place. Elder Chen called at the door: "Elder Yu, I have something to talk to you about."
"Come in." Yu Yunjun said in the room. Elder Chen pushed forward and entered the room. He saw Xiao Chuxia holding a piece of paper on one side, which seemed to be writing a poem. He glanced at it and it read: "This situation can be To reminisce about it? It was just that I was at a loss at the time."
Elder Chen looked at Yu Yunjun. There were tears in the corners of Yu Yunjun's eyes, and he seemed to be sad. He thought to himself: "Who gave this poem to her? I wonder if Elder Yu's lover passed away. Isn't this meant to arouse her grief? Hey."
Yu Yunjun lightly brushed the corners of his eyes, raised his head and asked, "Elder Chen, you came here unexpectedly. I wonder if you have something to say."
"Today, my disciple reported some things. This Song Zhi..." Elder Chen shook his head and sighed, explaining the matter clearly in a few words.
After hearing these words, Yu Yunjun's expression changed drastically. Chu Xia stood up and shouted: "Damn Song Zhi, how dare you do this? I'm going to chop him down!"
As he spoke, he looked for the sword.
Yu Yunjun's face was livid, and he snorted to Chu Xia: "Don't mess around."
"Elder Chen, let's go find the leader. This matter has reached this stage. It depends on what the leader says and how he will show favoritism." Yu Yunjun said and walked forward: "We still need to find out where Song Zhi went!"
At this time, it started to rain and wind outside, making water droplets flow down under the eaves. Fortunately, there were stone paths, steps, and corridors between the rooms in the palace. You didn't even need a raincoat to walk through it and arrived at the head of the house. at.
Yu Yunjun stopped and said to someone: "I want to see the leader."
"Yes!" The disciple immediately announced that he would be invited to come in after the meeting. Once inside, he saw two elders sitting and talking. Lord Yu Yun was speechless for a while and just sat and listened.
The leader looked at the rain without saying a word, his eyes dim, and he looked back and asked: "How was the collection of merit and deeds a while ago?"
Elder Gui said: "After receiving the title of True Lord, according to the etiquette, once every three years, we have people from the county send people to the temple to offer sacrifices. The standards are equal to those of Bo and the County God."
"The original specifications of the Patriarch's Hall are no longer suitable for the times and must be rebuilt." When Elder Gui said this, he couldn't help but feel happy and a little emotional.
The county god, in the middle of every spring and autumn, the county magistrate goes to the temple to offer sacrifices. However, this is a treatment only given to gods of the heavenly system. The so-called heavenly system is divided into three sacrifices: upper, middle and lower.
The Taoist True Monarch has a status equal to that of the County God or slightly higher. Originally, the True Monarch's palace had to be remodeled into Bo-style specifications. Although the government would not offer public worship, it would still send people to the temple to offer sacrifices.
Everyone knew this very well and knew that it was powerful inside. After saying this, Elder Gui waved his hand and saw an image in the sky. It was like a sand table, and he saw this hall. The steps were a corridor, and there was a red painted door at the entrance, with double eaves resting on it. The double-layer brick and wood structure on the top of the mountain contains lifelike statues of gods, which look very solemn and majestic.
The headmaster said nothing and listened attentively. Elder Gui added: "This temple has been demolished and rebuilt, and many nearby buildings have been implicated. I'm afraid it will cost ten thousand taels of silver."
"Hiss... ten thousand taels!" the leader repeated and took a breath: "Although there is a lot of money, this must be built, even if it is squeezed, it must be squeezed out. Elder Liu, what do you think?"
Elder Liu was originally looking at Yuwu without saying a word, but now he straightened up: "That's right, this specification is indispensable. Only with this specification can our industry be guaranteed."
"One of our Taoist temple properties originally covers 300 acres nearby. In reality, the grain we pay each year is only slightly more than enough to meet the food rations."
"Is it because we can't buy land? It's really a real person's account. Our share is here."
“We can’t afford too many rental shops.”
"Now that we have received the title of True Lord, our farmland can be increased to more than 900 acres. If it does not exceed 1,000 acres, there will be no problems. We can also build more rented shops in various counties."
"This will increase our financial resources. Junior Nephew Pei has really made a contribution. This is the foundation of our sect."
"Without a stable industry, how can we attract and train disciples?"
After hearing this, the headmaster sighed, stood up and walked to the door, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside. At this time, under the dark sky, the sound of rain fell. After a long time, the headmaster turned around with a smile and asked Yu Yunjun: "You guys are here this time. , what’s important?”
"Master, I really have something important to do here this time." Yu Yunjun saw the master working hard for his sect. If he was usually soft-hearted, he would not say it in a crowd, but this time he was hard-hearted. He said coldly: "The meritorious person you mentioned just now, Senior Nephew Pei, and your disciple Senior Brother Song Zhi, colluded with outsiders and led others to kill him."
As soon as he said these words, a bolt of lightning fell, followed by a sound of thunder, and the rain fell suddenly. Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they listened.
"Huh?" The leader didn't seem to hear clearly. He stood blankly without saying a word. It took a long time to wake up and asked, "What did you say?"
Elder Chen couldn't bear it at this time. He also knew that he had informed Mr. Yu Yun and formed a united front. At this time, he rebelled against the enemy and was disgraced from both inside and outside. He immediately summoned Hao Yong to explain everything, and then sighed: "Hey, Master Song My nephew was originally the senior brother of the next generation, but he did this stupid thing without thinking..."
The leader looked pale, looked around blankly, and murmured: "Song Zhi, you are so confused..."
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to wipe them with difficulty, and ordered: "Go quickly and find Song Zhi."
Someone immediately left in response, and none of the elders present spoke. Once this was confirmed, even if there was no actual action, even if Song Zhi was the senior brother and the only disciple of the leader, he would no longer be able to be the leader.
The world of this next generation changed immediately. Elder Gui and Elder Liu looked at each other and immediately avoided it, showing that they were thinking about it.
"Report, Song Zhi is no longer here. It is said that he went to Jiangping County."
"Jiangping County, isn't this the county where Pei Ziyun is located?" As soon as the leader thought about it, he immediately ordered with difficulty: "Quick, let's go immediately."
If there had been no real conflict, Song Zhi had just dismissed his senior brother position. If there had been a real conflict, it would have been difficult to resolve it like this. As for bloodshed, the leader would not even dare to think about it - Yu Yunjun and the Patriarch would be angry and would definitely Destroying everything that exists.
