Chapter 395: Gambling Fight

Liu Xi never imagined that she would receive a call from the dustless road chief, that is, her nominal master.

She felt a little complicated, and she felt very disagreeable.

Can you imagine an old Taoist aunt who has lived for more than a hundred years and meditates in the deep mountains and old forests all day long, holding a mobile phone to make a call?

Liu Xi thought about it, the picture was too beautiful to look at.

She didn't want to think about herself, she was a centuries-old monster, and she was embarrassed to set off a dustless leader.

The dust-free Taoist chief said on the phone: "The Huaxia Daomen Centennial Sacrifice to the Three Qing Dao Ancestors Ceremony will be held at the Heavenly Master Temple of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, and the time is Saturday. I'm too lazy to move, it's all a bunch of old guys, and I don't want to be born. Since you are the little uncle of our Little Pure Yang Temple, and you are in the red dust, you will participate on behalf of my Pure Yang faction. ”

Liu Xi didn't want to move, how good it was to be at home, watch TV during the day, meditate and practice at night, who wants to run so far and mix with a group of Taoist priests?

The Dustless Daoist had already guessed that she was unwilling, and before she could say no, the Dustless Daoist said again: "I heard from a few old friends that you have announced your identity as my apprentice, I have not denied it, and I ask them to take more care of you." ”

Liu Xi: "......"

There is no denial, that is, Liu Xi owes her favors.

Therefore, it is said that people are old and refined, and it is clear that it is a fair trade at the beginning, she gave Liu Xi an identity, and Liu Xi helped her pass on the Dao fruit of Xiaochun Yangguan.

At this time, the dustless Taoist chief took this as a favor, but the people didn't threaten her, and second, they asked others to take care of her.

Even if Liu Xi felt uncomfortable, he couldn't pick out the thorns.

"You take Miaoyin and the four of them to go, in the future, I will be in the pure yang faction, and it will depend on the four of them young people. The dust-free Taoist sighed lightly: "A group of old guys in the view can't save face." ”

Liu Xi was speechless, the dustless Taoist said this, what else could she say, of course she reluctantly agreed.

This is the case with those who are monks and monks, and it is the same in the world of monasticism, where the older generation is reluctant to go out of the mountains, and they let their disciples go out if there is anything.

When it comes to housework, monks are the most homely, and monks are no exception.

"By the way, one more thing. ”

The Dustless Daoist said in an unhurried tone: "Every centennial ceremony of sacrificing the ancestors of the Three Qing Dao is also a time to test the strength of each sect. The last session was attended by me on behalf of the Pure Yang Sect, and I overwhelmed the other sects, but because of the scarcity of disciples and the fact that I did not walk around in the world, my Pure Yang Sect only ranked fifth among the Taoist sects. You're no worse than me, are you?"

Does this mean that it's not enough to just participate, but also to get a ranking?

What else can Liu Xi say, of course she promised her.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. Not to mention preaching, even in an elementary school class, students have to be ranked according to their grades.

Taoism, as a local sect in China, has many factions and many Taoist disciples, so how can it be in great and small order?

According to statistics, there are more than 3,000 Taoist temples and more than 50,000 Taoist priests, and the number of believers cannot be counted.

Every 100 years, the Huaxia Daomen will hold a ceremony to worship the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists, and all factions must send people to participate. If no one of the factions comes, then it means that the faction has disappeared into the rolling history, and you can draw a cross in the list of Daomen.

Today is already Thursday, and the ceremony will be held on Saturday, which means that Liu Xi needs to arrive on Friday at the latest.

Just as Liu Xi was packing his luggage and preparing to go, his mobile phone rang again, and this time it was Wei Wuji calling.

"Will you participate in the Huaxia Daomen Centennial Sacrifice to the Three Qing Dao Ancestors held in Longhu Mountain this time?" Wei Wuji did not greet him, and asked directly.

"Since you asked, you must have known that I would participate on behalf of the Pure Yang faction, right?

Wei Wuji smiled: "How can I be lucky to know a worldly master like the Dustless Dao Chief, I just guessed it, but I didn't expect to really guess it." ”

"Xiao Chunyangguan is a group of old Taoist aunts, who have been away from the world for a long time, and must be reluctant to go out of the mountain. If it weren't for you, even if they didn't want to go out of the mountain, the audience would have to go to the meeting. But with you, I think it's going to happen to you. ”

Liu Xi sighed secretly: "A group of old housemaids, the house doesn't even want to go out of the mountain gate, and I have nothing to say." ”

"That's fine. Wei Wuji sighed lightly.

"Huh?"

"I said that's fine, once and for all. Wei Wuji said.

"What do you mean?"

"The battle for the power of the group alarmed the second leader, and he personally intervened in the battle for the rights of the group. Wei Wuji said: "The second leader is an old politician who will not easily state his position, but only smiling and appeasing everyone, and temporarily taking over the ability group. ”

He set a tone, internal contradictions should be resolved internally, and civil fighting should be carried out, not martial arts. ”

"And then?"

"Then?" Wei Wuji said with a smile: "It just so happens that the Daomen is not holding a ceremony for the three Qing Dao ancestors for a hundred years? Let him be the middleman, let me have a gambling fight with Leng Shaoning. The person who wins becomes the leader of the ability group, and the person who loses becomes the deputy leader. ”

Liu Xi's eyes widened: "Such a child's play?"

Wei Wuji said, "Otherwise?"

Liu Xi said: "I always feel that it is a bit too child's play, how to say that it is also the leading position of a real power department, and it is actually decided by way of gambling." ”

"Unlike other government departments, the members are not comparable to those who work from 9 to 5. Each has a skill, and his temper is even more unruly, and a piece of paper can't convince them. The No. 2 chief's gamble seems to be child's play, but in fact it is a good move. The members of the Anomaly Group do not value government documents, but they agree with the principle of being willing to gamble and lose. ”

Liu Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that gambling was indeed a good way.

The anomaly group is subordinate to the National Security Bureau, and the nominal supreme leader is indeed the No. 2 leader, and only he and the No. 1 leader have the qualifications to reluctantly suppress this group of anomalous people.

But from the standpoint of the second leader, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and it is not easy for him to directly intervene in the power struggle of the ability group.

However, the matter cannot continue to drag on, because if it drags on for a long time, the contradictions and struggles will definitely escalate, and then the contradictions will evolve into hatred, and it will be difficult to clean them up.

There is no way to use gambling to determine the leader of the ability group.

"So what's the content of the bet?" asked Liu Xi.

Each elected a representative of the Taoist sect to participate in the ceremony, and then decided the ownership of the position of the group leader based on the achievements of the representative of the Taoist sect in the ceremony. ”

"So you chose me?" asked Liu Xi.

"Of course. ”

"Taoism also has something to do with your ability group?"

Wei Wuji said: "Of course it matters, you didn't dismiss the others, so I didn't know that some of the people in the ability group were from the Dao Sect." ”

Liu Xi remembered that the Dustless Dao Master had said that she was also one of the first members of the Ability Group.
