Text Chapter 253 The Down-and-Out Cultivation Sect
Ye Fan looked at the expression of the head of the Zhao family and knew what the other party was thinking. These old fritters are really not simple, and you can find a good opportunity to make a fortune anytime and anywhere. Sure enough, he is the head of the house, and his earning ability is leveraged.
"Master Zhao, this matter ...... Don't be greedy, as the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. The little bit of money that the Zhuge family has left now is also stronger than your Zhao family. You won't be upset if I say that, right?" Ye Fan said.
"No, no, no, you have a point...... It's just that which family doesn't want to go further? If the Zhuge family falls, there will definitely be people who want to go up. The head of the Zhao family said: "You and our Zhao family, are you still separated from each other? If the Zhao family goes up, doesn't it mean that you go up?"
In order to persuade Ye Fan, the head of the Zhao family also deliberately glanced at Zhao Wushuang. Zhao Wushuang said loudly: "This matter, listen to Ye Fan, our Zhao family's background is not enough, once we go up, we will definitely be the target of everyone." Besides, I've heard that the Zhuge family is involved in national security this time, and this is a whirlpool. Is our Zhao family really so innocent? Can it stand up to investigation?"
The head of the Zhao family changed color in an instant, and he could only give up this idea. The strength of the Zhao family is really not enough, unless Ye Fan supports it and gets the approval of the Ouyang family.
It's too hard.
Ye Fan came out of Zhao's house, and Zhao Wushuang followed all the way. Zhao Wushuang said: "Let's have a meal together, you haven't accompanied me in private." In the past half month, I have earned at least 300 million for you. You're the boss, so you won't give me a reward?"
"It's okay to eat, as for the reward...... Ahem, as much as you want, take it yourself. Ye Fan said, "Isn't the financial power in your hands?"
"Do I still need money?" Zhao Wuliang Ye Fan threw a wink, the meaning is very clear, why don't we take advantage of the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's get things done?
Ye Fan hurriedly opened the car door: "Let's go, whatever you want to eat, I'll accompany you......"
Zhao Wushuang is a very smart person, she just eats next, chats with Ye Fan about some things, and never mentions the previous things.
After eating, Zhao Wushuang said, "Boss Ye, according to our current ability, it is impossible to eat the Zhuge family. But you can also eat some meat, now that the Zhuge family's property is being sold, we can try it. ”
"You can get this yourself, I don't know anything about it anyway. Ye Fan said, "In the next few days, I will not be in Yanjing, and I will rely on you to watch more in the future." Take whatever you need, I'll leave it to you anyway. ”
"I've never seen such an irresponsible ...... It doesn't matter if I have a child, it's just left to me as a mother. Zhao Wushuang said with some resentment.
Ye Fan touched his nose, he knew that the child the other party said was their industry. But to be honest, he really doesn't know much about that.
After separating from Zhao Wushuang, Ye Fan received a message from the two Taoist priests in Laoshan and asked when he could leave for Laoshan. As the head of Laoshan, it is indeed not good to be absent from the sect during the Chinese New Year.
In today's society, monastics have been marginalized, but there is still a group of people who are more enthusiastic. This group of people rarely appears in the tech society, and this is their choice.
Ye Fan asked them to go back to Laoshan directly, and he rushed over by plane. This is the first time that he, as the head of the sect, has returned to the sect to participate in the sacrifice, and it coincides with the Chinese New Year, so he bought some rune paper and textbooks for drawing talismans in the Difu Mall, ready to be used as a meeting gift.
Ye Fan also learned later that the sect of the Laoshan faction was not in Laoshan. In other words, the Laoshan faction on Laoshan Mountain is just the Laoshan faction in the eyes of the world, and it is a tourist attraction. The real Laoshan faction, on an unknown hill.
This is also the current situation of the vast majority of ascetics.
Ye Fan came to Xiaoshan here, and did not tell the two Laoshan Taoist priests in advance, and went up directly. There are not many people here, more than fifty people. Usually, these people are not here, and they go down the mountain to cultivate, or accept disciples.
After he went up the mountain, he found that the people here were wearing Taoist robes, which should be the exclusive Taoist robes of Laoshan Mountain. His current strength, as long as he is unwilling, Lao Ku and Lao Ti will not be able to find him.
After coming up, he hid to the side and found that many Taoist priests had average strength, and even worse, they might not understand any spells.
He found Lao Ku Lao tired, they were meditating, saw Ye Fan, and quickly stood up: "Master, you ...... You won't tell us when you come?"
Ye Fan was a little unhappy: "I've been here for a long time, I just want to see what our Laoshan is like usually." It's just a little bit of people, and none of them are very good......"
Lao Ku poured Ye Fan a cup of tea, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Master, our Laoshan faction is good, some sects add up, I'm afraid there are no more than ten people......"
"Yes, there were very few people in our sect before, and the two of us brothers temporarily decided to recruit more people to come in, and it was not too shabby to rush the scene. As far as I know, several sects have applied for closure this year, and all the sect classics have been handed over to the National Museum. Lao Lei sighed.
"Our Laoshan Sect is also famous in history, right?, how did it get mixed up like this?" Ye Fan asked strangely.
"What's the use of that? People nowadays want to make money. And our sect doesn't have any special tricks, such as beauty or anything. If we had, we wouldn't have had such a hard time. Besides, people nowadays know too little about monasticism. Basically, they all go to another Laoshan scenic spot to burn pillar incense, kowtow, and count their fortunes. Lao Ku said.
Ye Fan frowned: "Then why did you call me back? ”
Now that the Daomen has become like this, he is very depressed, according to the development of this society, in fact, there is no need for the Daomen, or in other words, there is no need for the previous Daomen. Today's Daomen is more suitable to serve as a cultural symbol.
"In addition to those who don't know much, there are also some people who like to learn. There are probably more than a dozen such people. Lao Ku said embarrassedly.
Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's meet separately, call the real Taoist priest in, and give them a little gift." As for the rest, seal a red envelope and it's over. Cultivating is a matter of fate, and according to the current living habits of people, most of them can't endure such a boring cultivation life. ”
"These gifts are all here, each of you chooses two of them, and the rest will be given to those true Taoist priests. Ye Fan opened the haunted house and took out the things.
These two Taoist priests were stunned, Ye Fan actually opened a door through the air?
"Boss...... What kind of trick is this? Is it our Laoshan wall-piercing technique?" exclaimed Laoku.
", what kind of wall-piercing technique? This is a more advanced Dao technique, you can't practice it. Ye Fan waved his hand and said, "When I have time in the future, I will get you some similar gadgets." ”
The two Taoist priests didn't mind, they focused their eyes on the pile of small gifts, and flipped through them, they were all good things, and some of them had never been seen before.
After the two of them had finished choosing, they called those real Taoist priests in. There are also a few highly qualified Taoist priests here, and in terms of ranking, they are also second to Lao Ku Lao tired.
"Kneeling ......"
Lao shouted bitterly, and those people all knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of Ye Fan.
Although Ye Fan had expectations in his heart, he still felt a little unaccustomed, after all, more than a dozen people knelt down towards him.
"All are up...... Don't be too restrictive. Ye Fan asked them to get up, and then said: "I, the head of the family, can be regarded as a halfway monk, and the affairs of the sect will depend on you in the future." These are all New Year's gifts for you, and you will be selected according to your seniority. After a while, everyone will have a meal, and everyone will do whatever they have to do. ”
Everyone was happy to get the gifts.
Ye Fan also met those who were not very formal, each with a red envelope, and then everyone had a meal. What makes people laugh and cry is that this meal is still packed from outside, because most of the people are not usually in the sect, and they can't make such a big meal at once.
Eating is originally a happy thing, but with some uninvited guests who are not very friendly, it is a little unpleasant. While the meal was going on, someone shouted at the bottom of the mountain: "Fellow Daoists of Laoshan Mountain, Huanglongshan has come to visit." ”
Hearing those voices, many people from the Laoshan faction changed color, and their faces were extremely ugly.
Ye Fan asked, "What's the matter?"
"Ahem...... Huanglongshan is the closest sect to our Laoshan sect, it used to be just a small sect, but they don't know how, they made a beauty project and made a lot of money. Now there are a lot of people and they are very strong. "They often come to find trouble, just to suppress us." ”
"Yo hehe, that feeling is good, just let me, the head of the house, do something. Ye Fan smiled and said, "Let them come up." ”
This time, the Taoist priests of Huanglong Mountain did not just come to a few people, but a large group of people, and most of them were rich women or something. These are their customers, all for beauty.
Huang Xiaolong, the head of Huanglongshan, meant very clearly, that is, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to completely sink the Laoshan faction, so that Huanglongshan could dominate all the nearby markets. In fact, Laoshan does not have any beauty projects at all, nor does it do business, but just cultivates with peace of mind. In other words, there is no conflict of interest between the two sects.
However, since ancient times, the name of Laoshan has been louder than Huanglongshan, Huanglongshan has been suppressed for so many years, and now it is not easy to come out, of course, you can't let go of the opportunity to completely sink the old opponent.
Ye Fan saw this large group of people, led by the head Huang Xiaolong. The two glanced at each other, Ye Fan saw through all the other party's hole cards, but Huang Xiaolong couldn't see through Ye Fan. This Huang Xiaolong's strength is not bad, it is stronger than Lao Kulao, but it is far worse than him.
Huang Xiaolong didn't think so, he thought that Ye Fan, the halfway leader, didn't have any strength, and just relied on Yanjing's several major families to cheat and deceive. This is also one of the reasons why he dared to come up.
