In the darkness, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were shining with strange lights, like poisonous snakes hiding in a cave. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the helmsman, waiting for him to speak.
At this time, the helmsman who was sitting lazily spoke. His voice was hoarse, as if he had not spoken for decades, and every word he said was very weighty.
"Why don't you light the lamp?"
A demon cult deacon replied respectfully, "Headmaster, have you forgotten that in the last meeting you said you attended a higher-level meeting and the atmosphere there was so and so, and you also said that there is no demon cult atmosphere in our Yanjiang Helm."
"I thought, this is the case. Our Yanjiang rudder has the lowest level among all the branch rudders. Maybe this is the reason."
"I was thinking, don't the stories say that our demon sect likes to plot conspiracies in dark places? So I deliberately didn't ask the servants to light the lamp."
"You know what, without the lights on, it really feels like someone is doing something bad."
Obviously, this deacon had a clear understanding of his own behavior and knew that the Demon Cult was not a place to do good things.
The helmsman was silent for a long time, wondering if the deacon was hinting that he wanted to quit the cult? Was he hinting that Yanjiang Helmets hadn't raised the salary for a long time? Or was he hinting that he should buy insurance for the members of the cult
It shouldn't be about quitting the religion.
The other party has been diligently doing bad things, and he does not distinguish between friend and foe. He does bad things outside and also harms his own people in the cult. He is a well-deserved bad guy.
It's not about raising the base rate.
The cult's allowance is linked to the local finances and is three times that of local officials, which is already very high. Yanjiang County is a remote small county, and the allowance of Yanjiang Headquarters cannot be at the same level as the headquarters.
It is not a request to buy insurance. Most of the members of the Demon Cult do not have heirs, so who will be compensated if the insurance is bought
Furthermore, the Landed Money Chamber of Commerce will not let the Demon Cult buy insurance. If they sell personal accident insurance to the Demon Cult, the Demon Cult is confident that they can make the Chamber of Commerce pay off all the losses.
"Light the lamp first."
"yes."
The deacon blew a breath, and a little flame fell on the lamp, lighting the wick, and suddenly the whole hall was lit up.
The helmsman spoke again: "Everyone has heard the rumors about Xiao Qin to some extent. Please stop spreading them, lest outsiders laugh at you."
"Everyone has seen Xiao Qin's behavior. He has committed all kinds of crimes. If he is caught by the government, beheading would be the least of his punishment. This is enough to prove that Xiao Qin's behavior is consistent with the teachings of our Demon Sect."
"As for Xiao Qin's statement that he is a righteous person, that is nonsense. Those who can join the Demon Sect have all passed the test of the Sect Leader."
"The leader's evaluation of him is 'devilish to the bones'. The leader's evaluation is definitely not wrong."
Qin Yuanhao bowed and saluted: "The helmsman is wise."
Qin Yuanhao felt a little better. He made up his mind that when he returned, he would kill the guy who spread the rumors!
The captain did not mention Qin Yuanhao again. He said these two words out of gratitude for sending him the chair.
"We are called here today because the headquarters has given us a mission."
The helmsman paused and said, "The headquarters requires all places to recruit new disciples of the Demon Sect."
Qin Yuanhao and others were stunned. They didn't expect it was this matter. The Demon Cult had not recruited people on a large scale for thirty years. In the past thirty years, everyone joined the Demon Cult through personal introductions.
For example, Qin Yuanhao wanted to recruit the tiger demon, but unfortunately the tiger demon defended Song Mountain and was unwilling to join the Demon Cult.
"Everyone should know the great sayings of the world. In the past hundred years, geniuses have risen. Famous masters can also be defeated by unknown guys. Countless ruins and caves that have never been discovered before have reappeared in the world. This is a great era with both opportunities and challenges."
"The five great immortal sects, super-grade sects, and first-grade sects all have talented people eager to come here. The double spiritual roots that were rare in the past are now everywhere. If these talented people can truly grow up, there will be no need to fight for this great world."
"If you want to fight, now is the only time!"
"If you seize the opportunity, you will be able to turn into a dragon when it rains, soar into the sky, and become an immortal!"
"But opportunities are not so easy to come by. The damn Great Xia Dynasty and the five major immortal sects have stepped up their attacks on us, and many of our fellows have died as a result."
"If we want to gain a place in this great world, we must expand the followers of our demon sect. The four major demon sects have reached a consensus on this matter."
"What you need to do is to spread the news that the Demon Cult is recruiting people through your respective channels, and try to gather all the demon cultivators in Yanjiang County and several nearby counties, or those who are interested in joining our Demon Cult."
Someone was worried: "Will such a large-scale recruitment give the righteous a chance to infiltrate our demon sect?"
He was not the only one who had this question, many people present had this question.
The Demon Cult is already living cautiously. If a few more righteous undercovers show up, the Demon Cult will be in great danger.
The helmsman shook his head: "This recruitment was organized by the leader with his supreme magical powers. The test he set is impossible for people of the righteous path to pass."
The voices of doubt disappeared, replaced by endless enthusiasm.
For everyone in the Demon Cult, the Cult Leader is an omnipotent being, the Heaven of the Demon Cult, and he can definitely lead their Immortal Cult to glory!
…
After the meeting, Qin Yuanhao immediately used his connections to find out who was trying to frame him.
Through various channels, the source was finally identified in a tavern.
"That guest is eight feet tall and eight feet wide, with a face full of pockmarks. He's a sturdy man who looks like he can eat three kids in one meal." The tavern owner gestured and was very impressed with Lu Yang.
According to the description, Qin Yuanhao quickly drew a portrait of Lu Yang that was very different from the real Lu Yang.
Lu Yang and the other two entered the tavern in disguise to spread rumors.
Qin Yuanhao had a cold expression. He looked so conspicuous yet he dared to spread rumors. Did he think he was easy to bully
It was already late at night, and the Great Xia Dynasty had no curfew. Qin Yuanhao and his brothers were eating barbecue on the street. There were pork skewers, beef skewers, roasted lamb legs, roasted chicken feet, roasted chicken legs, roasted pork skin, roasted tendons, roasted beef tendons, roasted river shrimp, tender roasted fat kidneys, roasted leeks, roasted potatoes, roasted eggplants, roasted wet tofu...
The skewers are tender, well-seasoned and delicious. Spread with a dark, oily secret sauce, and when heated by the charcoal fire, the aroma is fragrant and the oil sizzles.
The pork is skewered on long bamboo sticks and roasted over a large fire. The fat is sticky but not greasy, while the lean meat has a strong meaty flavor.
The lamb legs are baked in a naan pit, combining stewing and baking, heating evenly, with moderate tenderness and delicious taste.
The chicken feet are braised first and then roasted. They have tendons, skin and crispy bones, a rich taste and are enjoyable to chew.
The chicken feet are roasted raw, and the heat is precisely controlled. The moisture and fat cannot be lost excessively, so that the skin, meat, tendons and bones achieve a balance in taste and texture.
The potatoes are braised, roasted and steamed, served with a secret soy sauce. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fine and sandy texture.
Several people's faces were greasy after eating.
After eating and drinking, Qin Yuanhao arrogantly commanded his brothers: "You guys, go and search the whole city for these people. If you can't find them, don't come back!"
"Yes, big brother!" The younger brothers responded and dispersed.
Qin Yuanhao finished eating the skewers and felt satisfied. He temporarily stopped thinking about the annoying rumor mongers. At the same time, he did not notice Lu Yang lurking underground.
Few people pay attention to what is under their feet, and Qin Yuanhao is no exception.
