Chapter 127: The Inside Story of the Exchange Meeting
In the pavilion in the backyard, the presiding officer of the Shohoji Temple picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip of the tea in the cup, and said to the Kita-in presiding officer on the other side: "I'm afraid this exchange meeting will not be peaceful, our Shohoji Temple and your Kita-in Temple are the hosts of Saitama Prefecture, it's not easy." ”
"The Daoming from Kyoto's Honyuan Temple has been staying in the backyard since he came, and he obviously didn't fancy the two of us. ”
"There is also the head of the Qiuhe family in Saitama County, Qiuhe Longtai, who has also been missing people in the room, and Qiuhe Longtai's irritable temper is very abnormal. ”
"There is also the last heir of the Chi Shang family, Chi Shang Zhenyi, I don't know what kind of character the other party is, if he is also unruly, then this year's exchange will definitely have an accident. ”
Opposite the Kita-in temple host Huitong, who had been bowing his head and drinking tea, after listening to the words of his old friend, he raised his head and continued: "I also saw that the exchange meeting of the year is a little hanging, according to the news, I heard that our neighbor, the head of the Qiuhe family, Qiuhe Longtai, before this exchange meeting, dragged the Daoming host of the Motoyuan Temple and the Lijian host of the Huaye Nian Buddha Temple. ”
"Let the two of them represent the two major temples and let their Qiuhe family take over the position of director of the Chi Shang family exchange association, but this mention was refuted by the other governing families of the Tuyumen family, so now this Qiu He family can't wait for the last heir of the Chi Shang family to die immediately. ”
After listening to his old friend's words, he continued: "Well, this is indeed the case, but this Qiuhe family wants to replace the Chi Shang family, which can only be said to be wishful thinking. ”
"With the more than 300 years of experience in their Qiuhe family, they are also worthy of becoming a director, and I think that the two hosts can promise him this mentions, and they have received a lot of benefits, and now I guess that this guy Qiuhe Longtai should have lost his wife and broken his army, with the character of those two guys. The benefits of receiving it will never be spit out again. ”
When the thought was finished, the Huitong host of Kita Temple put down the teacup in his hand, leaned forward slightly and whispered: "Moreover, do you feel that the Qiu He family has behaved a little strangely in recent years, although the cultivation of the juniors in their family is okay, but once when I visited. After a closer look, I found that those juniors were surrounded by anger. ”
"Although they are very suppressive, I believe that with the old man I have been practicing hard for more than 30 years, I will not be mistaken, even the old guy in Qiuhe Longtai has it, but he hides it deeper, and I don't dare to observe it carefully. ”
Speaking of this, Huitong suddenly stopped talking, and there was no surprise in breaking the mind, because both of them heard the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, and sure enough, after a while, the little monk who opened the door for Chi Shang Zhenyi and a few people came over.
"Master. The head of the Chi Shang family, whom you explained to pay attention to, has arrived, and is now being arranged by me in the side room. ”
Hearing the words from the little monk, the old monk drank all the tea in the cup, and said to the Hui channel on the other side: "Oh, the last heir of the Chi Shang family is here, then we really have to hurry up and take a look, we can't let people think that we are rude." ”
"Well, I really want to go and see the last heir of this Chi Shang family. At the beginning, the head of their family, Chi Shang Hengfeng, I also met at the exchange meeting, and the other party's family heirloom skills were very good. is worthy of being the descendant of Master Daomo, and the mysteries in it are not at all comparable to those family forces with shallow roots. ”
Speaking of this, Huitong paused slightly and continued: "It's just that I didn't expect the other party to die under the bombardment of ghost animals, it's a pity that I am a pillar of the cultivation world of the Great Japanese Empire, I don't know that now this Chi Shang family master has obtained a few true inheritances of their Chi Shang family, if the other party is a straw bag with no ability, I think that the position of the director will be taken away sooner or later." ”
"Whether it's a straw bale or a talent, don't we know when we see it? Let's go, don't let the family wait for a long time, or people will think that we two old guys are taking the big one. ”
After finishing speaking, the two old monks, Nian Duan and Huitong, raised their feet and went to the side room where Chi Shang Zhenyi was resting.
In the side room, when Chi Shang Zhenyi looked at a painting hanging on the wall, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, which made him know that it should be the main master, so he immediately turned to the door to greet him.
"Amitabha. Presumably this is the head of the Chi Shang family, right?"
"The poor monk is the abbot of the Shohoji Temple in Higashimatsuyama City, this is the abbot of Kitain Huitong in Kawagoe City, this year's exchange meeting was held in Saitama Prefecture, our two temples are as the host of the reception, during the exchange meeting, the Chi Shang family is mainly what needs can be told to us, as long as we can do it, we will try to meet. ”
Chi Shang Zhenyi, who went out to greet him, said after hearing this introduction: "Chi Shang Zhenyi thank the two masters for their care, please inside the two masters." ”
After entering the room and taking their seats, Chi Shang Zhenyi said again: "Don't you know that another Daoming Master of Honganji has arrived?"
"The Daoming host came a day earlier than the head of the Chi Shang family, and now he is resting in the backyard, and when the conference opens in the evening, it is estimated that he will show his face. ”
Hearing Chi Shang's sincere inquiry, Huitong of Kitain explained.
"Oh, this is the first time for me to participate in this exchange meeting, I don't know much about the process, I used to come to my father to participate, but I didn't expect that there would be so many changes in our Chi Shang family last year. ”
"Now I am the only one left in the clan, and I don't know a lot about the things in this exchange meeting, so I still have trouble that the two masters can explain a lot of doubts for me, tell each other what this exchange meeting is doing, don't make jokes and lose the face of my ancestors when the time comes. ”
For this exchange meeting, Chi Shangzhen was a black eye, he didn't understand anything, in order not to make a mistake, he asked the two hosts to preside, and put his attitude very low.
After listening to the words of the young head of the Chi Shang family on the other side, he gave a praise in his heart, and he didn't see anything else at the moment, but through the words just now, he felt that this young head of the family had a very good bearing, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"The head of the Chi Shang family is polite, if Lord Ling Zun Hengfeng is alive, these words will not be the turn of the old monk and me, now I will take a big handful to talk about this exchange meeting for the head of the Chi Shang Zhenyi family. ”
Speaking of this, the old monk paused for a moment and continued to speak: "I won't talk about the origin of the exchange meeting, because the cultivation world has not debated the initial results until now. ”
"Anyway, I only know that in the end, the Tsuchigomon family, Honganji Temple, Kusakabe family, Meigetsu-in, Kakage-in, Horyu-ji Temple, Kamo family, Todai-ji Temple, Karashodai-ji Temple, Kano Nenbutsu Temple, Renk-wang Temple, and your Ikesho family formed the Twelve Council of Judges. ”
"Every year, the exchange meeting is held in a different part of Japan, and two of your twelve directors will preside over it, and then the exchange will be held in the local area, and two famous families or ancient temples will cooperate. Maintain order and regulate disputes. ”
"The clear meaning of this exchange meeting is very simple, that is, to let the Japanese cultivators communicate with each other, so that they can exchange for better and more subsidized items that are beneficial to their own cultivation, after all, the cultivation environment outside is too bad now, and it is difficult to enter the country without spiritual material subsidies, which is also the first three days of the exchange meeting. ”
And after these three days. It has become a strange exchange of feng shui techniques, and the first two days were free discussions among the cultivators. ”
"On the last day, each of the two directors will give three questions, which will be answered by those cultivators from all over the country, and whoever answers any of the three questions correctly from any of the directors will be rewarded by the questioners. ”
"This link is mainly to cultivate the younger generations of Japan, after all, everyone knows what the current cultivation environment is, if you don't support it, I'm afraid it won't take a few years to break the roots. This is also the result of the joint discussion of the twelve of you. ”
"And this link is also in the selection of special forces for His Majesty the Emperor, and cultivators who can answer all the questions of the council every year are eligible to sign up for the Emperor's special forces, and as long as they pass the guò identity assessment at that time, they will be specially recruited into the palace by His Majesty the Emperor, which is also an agreement between the cultivation world and the imperial family. ”
"After these three days, it will be an exchange auction, and all cultivators who want to exchange good things will take the prepared things to the auction for auction on this day. Each lot is guaranteed by two directors and local powers, and 20% of the transaction value is charged. Among them, two directors each accounted for 5 percent, and two local forces each accounted for 5 percent. ”
Chi Shang really understood when he heard this, the few articles he heard before were all the fearless efforts of the director, and he wanted to take the initiative to hand over the position of the director, but now he heard that this article was taken to extract five percent of the auction amount.
Chi Shang really knew why the Qiu He family wanted to usurp the throne. Just this five percent commission per person is a considerable amount, after all, this is not an ordinary auction, this is an auction between cultivators, will the things traded be ordinary. You don't have to think about it to know that.
After reading this, the old monk deliberately paused for a while, because he believed that this Chishang family master would definitely be interested in this article.
Nian Xuan wanted to see what the expression of this young family master would have, but he was a little disappointed, although the other party was young, but the city government was not low, he didn't see anything from the other party's face, which made him have to sigh, in the end, he was a person from a big family with a background.
"On the last day of the exchange meeting, that is, the fifteenth, this day is not only the closing meeting, but also the conclusion of the grievance, on this day all the cultivators who have grievances can propose revenge to the other party through the guò council, as long as the other party's cultivation is not a large level lower than the fighter, then the battle must be received, if the cultivation is lower than the fighter, there is a one-year relaxation preparation period. ”
"If the battle-taker is not fighting in order to meet the requirements, or if he cannot find anyone on the spot, then the fighter can issue a hunt-down order through the council member if he or she can, or even hire a council member to take action. ”
"Of course, hiring a director requires a lot of money, in addition to these grievances and challenges, the director is also qualified to issue employment tasks for those ordinary cultivators to complete, of course, these are not aimed at ordinary people. ”
"The government will not bother with the murder of the two types mentioned above, whether they die in battle, or after chasing and killing, or even by order of the council, because this is a common decision of all Japanese cultivators, and His Holiness the Emperor also knows, and this is all the activities of the entire exchange meeting. ”
After listening to the old monk Jienian introduce the exchange meeting, Chi Shang Zhenyi only felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses running by in his heart, he didn't expect that an ordinary exchange meeting would have so many words, not only involving the Japanese royal family, but also related to the underground head, it was too complicated and dark, but because of this, he couldn't let his family's position as the director lose it.
