Chapter 18: The Angry Deputy Master

Watching thousands of disciples fly around like locusts, everywhere they passed was turned upside down.

The more than a dozen stewards who usually manage these disciples were standing on a high place at the moment, overlooking the disciples who were respectful and submissive on weekdays, but at the moment they were like wolves, and one of the stewards stomped his foot and said, "It's the opposite, it's just the opposite." Quick, transfer a few hundred middle-level disciples over, oh no, let the people from the punishment department come over and arrest all the disciples who rebelled here. ”

Another steward patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Steward Xue, take a closer look, how can you catch so many disciples, and can you catch them?

Steward Xue turned his head to see that it was Steward Li who was talking to him, and Steward Xue was angry and said, "Old Li, is it possible that a few of our brothers will watch them mess around? ”

Another steward surnamed Xu took two steps forward and said: "The Fa does not blame the people, and all the disciples are reversed, what else can we do? Is it difficult to arrest all the disciples? After arresting them, how can they explain to the above? Talk about this matter and blame Zhao for being in charge, brothers, why is Lao Zhao so confused? Is there a lot of Qi Replenishing Pill on his body that is going to be moldy? He actually took them all out and placed them everywhere in his home, and the disciples regarded the Qi Replenishing Pill as a treasure and something they dreamed of. The sect has repeatedly preached to the disciples that Qi Replenishing Pills are extremely rare, but now, more than 2,000 Qi Replenishing Pills have been found in a steward's house, how can you make the disciples believe our words again. When the matter has reached this point, not only the elders have to come forward, but even the deputy door master and the door master must also personally inquire into the matter. After all, a few of us don't have any handle to be held by others, for today's plan, first, the brothers will hide all the qi replenishing pills on their bodies, and they must not be exposed, and all transactions with the outside world have been stopped these days, and there must be no clues to be revealed. The second is to put all the blame on Steward Zhao, if asked above, we don't know anything about him except that we are very surprised. ”

After listening to Steward Xu's words, several stewards who got together nodded again and again.

At this moment, a deacon ran over quickly and said, "It turns out that all the stewards are here, Deputy Master Du invites you to come over and inquire about important matters." ”

The stewards glanced at each other and walked apprehensively towards a large hall on the mountain.

Du Shenjin, the deputy master of Zizhumen, sat behind the bookcase with an angry face, and in front of him, there were three elders and more than a dozen stewards, everyone looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

At this time, the maid carefully held a bowl of fragrant tea and put it in front of Du Shenjin, as soon as the maid left, Du Shenjin slammed the bookcase, and there was a loud "pop", like a startled tree, which made the timid people shiver.

Du Shenjin said loudly: "It's really a great shame, a great shame, my Zizhumen has been building a mountain for hundreds of years, how can there ever be such a thing, almost all the junior disciples of the inner gate have rebelled, broken the doors and windows, and turned all the housekeepers' homes upside down." What are you stewards doing, can't even control the disciples under your hands? Now, this is the way this is happening, how can you let me explain to the sect master?"

After that, Deputy Sect Master Du squinted, looked at an elder standing in front of the case, and said, "Elder Li, you are our Elder Discipline here, and you are in charge of all the things that are greedy for ink and lawlessness to enrich your own pockets, let me ask you, where did the more than 2,000 Qi Replenishing Pills in Steward Zhao's house come from? Where is Steward Zhao? He has so many things about Qi Replenishing Pills, did you know before?"

"Well, this ......" Elder Li muttered for a long time, and then wanted to kick the ball out of his feet, Elder Li said respectfully: "The matter of the elixir, we have always been in charge of Elder Ma here, and the affairs of several stewards are usually in the hands of Elder Sun. ”

Deputy Sect Master Du snorted coldly, turned to another elder surnamed Ma and said, "Elder Ma, the Dan Pharmacy has always been under your management, on weekdays, you always say that the materials are not enough, the earth fire is unstable, and you can't refine many good pills, so it turns out that you have refined all the pills to Steward Zhao's house." More than 2,000 pills were found in his house, how do you explain it?"

Seeing the deputy sect master's question, Elder Ma replied respectfully: "Back to the deputy sect master, I allocate more than 10,000 Qi replenishment pills to Steward Zhao every year, and it is not too difficult to steal beams and replace pillars with shoddy ones. Therefore, only Steward Zhao knows best about the more than 2,000 Qi Replenishing Pills, so it is best to call him over and interrogate him, and everything will be revealed. ”

Deputy Sect Master Du looked at the treacherous and cunning Elder Ma in front of him, snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, if you can arrest Steward Zhao for questioning, what else do you need to invite to do here? You said that you don't know anything about this matter, then let me ask you, he is shoddy, so where does this defective product come from? You refine so many pills every year, many of them are empty pills and waste pills, where have these empty pills and waste pills gone, do you know?"

"Huh, this ......" Hearing the deputy sect master's question, Elder Ma's forehead was drenched with sweat.

Deputy Master Du did not give up, at this time, none of the people standing in front of him could look at him. Deputy Sect Master Du turned his words to Elder Sun.

Deputy Sect Master Du's eyes showed a fierce light, stared at Elder Sun and said, "Elder Sun, all the stewards are in charge of you, you are their top boss, let me ask you, where is Steward Zhao? Today's affairs are all because of him, where did he hide?"

At this time, Elder Sun had already scolded Steward Zhao a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, and if he could find Steward Zhao now, he would be eager to kill him with one slap.

In front of him, Deputy Sect Master Du asked, and Elder Sun said hesitantly: "This, the lowly faction is trying their best to find him, once there is his whereabouts, immediately inform the Deputy Sect Master." ”

Deputy Master Du slapped the table and said, ", what you say is all." ”

Looking at the furious Deputy Door Master Du, everyone present was silent, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of touching the deputy door master's moldy head and being trained by the other party.

The real power of Zizhumen is in the hands of Elder Taishang and several other Great Elders. However, these people are highly advanced in their own Dao methods, and they have devoted all their lives to the cultivation of the exercises, and retreat and cultivation are a common thing, so they have no time to manage the daily complicated affairs in the Zizhu Gate. Elder Taishang and several Great Elders selected a few outstanding people from among the disciples who sat down to serve as the sect master and deputy sect master of the Zizhu Gate.

The door master Chu Zhilan manages everything in the door, several deputy door masters under him assist Chu Zhilan in managing the affairs of the door, and several deputy door masters are in charge of each stall, and the deputy door master in front of him is the deputy door master who manages the junior disciples of the inner door.

Although the door master Chu Zhilan has never asked much about the affairs managed by the deputy door masters, if there is a big problem in the area under the jurisdiction of a deputy door master, the door master Chu Zhilan can remove him in a grand manner.

Du Shenjin relied on a great elder to sit in his current position, and his relationship with the sect master Chu Zhilan was not good. Today, such a big thing happened in his jurisdiction, what Du Shenjin was most worried about was that the news would leak out and let Chu Zhilan, the master of the Lotus Peak, who was a hundred miles away, know.

Although Du Shenjin is the deputy master of Zizhumen, he is in charge of the beginner disciples and intermediate disciples of the inner gate, and it can be said that most of the inner disciples are under his command. He is also in charge of recruiting new disciples. Steward Zhao is a small steward, and if he wants to get a few disciples in, he can make a lot of money, not to mention Du Shenjin, who is in power, has no less than 100 disciples who come in through it every year, and the benefits can be piled up with gold and silver.

In addition, there are more than 10,000 disciples under the command of the deputy master of Zizhu Gate Du, among which there are many disciples from rich families, and most of them are junior disciples of the inner gate of Zizhu Gate. However, only a small number of middle-level disciples can become high-level disciples after taking the Qi Condensing Pill, successfully breaking through the limitations of the physical body, reaching the innate Qi Condensing Realm, and generating true qi in their bodies. It can be said that there is a world of difference between beginner disciples, intermediate disciples, and high-level disciples. Among the high-level disciples, those who have cultivated to the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm or the peak of Qi Condensation are selected as core disciples, and are personally accepted as apprentices by the great elders of the sect to teach unique peerless exercises and martial arts.

At this time, many middle-level disciples who had failed to impact the Qi Condensation Realm and had stopped at the peak of forging their bodies would be arranged by Deputy Sect Master Du. These disciples can either stay in the Zizhumen of Nuoda as a steward or an ordinary gong transmission master, or worse, they can also be a deacon. In short, who you want to continue to stay in the inner door is just a matter of Deputy Du's words. Even if he doesn't stay at the inner door, Deputy Door Master Du can also arrange for this person to go to the outer door to be a steward, Zizhu Gate's outer door affairs are complicated, and there are many businesses, and they can also live a very rich life as a steward outside.

A large number of rich disciples have their own ideas, and when Deputy Master Du was satisfying everyone's various ideas, a large amount of gold and silver naturally flowed into Deputy Master Du's pocket like flowing water.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Du Deputy Sect Master does so, the elders below and the various stewards naturally go up and down, and the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, thinking of ways to squeeze oil and water from the disciples. Therefore, for the affairs of Zhao Steward, Deputy Master Du also knows a little, but he doesn't say anything about it on weekdays, everyone knows it, and turns a blind eye. However, Steward Zhao was not careful, and he made such a disturbance, so that Deputy Door Master Du couldn't cover it if he wanted to, and after the incident, Steward Zhao disappeared, how could Deputy Door Master Du not be in a hurry.

There are three elders under the command of Deputy Master Du. These three elders are just ordinary elders in the Zizhu Sect, and their status is lower than that of the sect master and deputy sect master, and higher than the steward and the master of the Gong Transmission. These three elders assisted Deputy Sect Master Du in managing the entire large area behind the Inner Gate Mountain Gate, which was where the beginner and intermediate disciples of the Inner Gate cultivated and lived, and it was distributed on the slopes behind the Inner Gate Mountain Gate and the vast place on the top of the mountain.

The high-level disciples of the Zizhu Sect cultivated in a place called Feiyun Valley, which was still two hundred miles away from here.
