As Zhang Wen, who has a 'unique taste', said: Although the external structure of Huashenjiao seems to be loose, once everything touches the core level, it will become extremely tight.

For example, the 'Hubo Village Altar Master', who is only responsible for cheating and collecting money from laymen on weekdays, there is no need for them to know the 'internal' secrets of the Huashen Sect. After all, in the minds of these 'top liars', even including themselves, even if the world is big, there is still no credible person!

Therefore, strictly speaking, the relationship between Huashen Sect and those 'wandering Taoists' is more like an employment relationship of equality and cooperation. Just like a big merchant and a traveling merchant who runs a single gang, the binding force between them is very limited.

And that sect leader, Zhang Yuan, is also extremely smart! Not only did he know that he was willing to throw out large sums of gold and silver to win the hearts of these liars; Recently, he actually hooked up with Nan Kang Di Ting, and changed to use the 'same value' of hibiscus paste instead of the honorariums of those wandering Taoists. This kind of ghost thing can not only completely control a person's mind, but also save a large amount of 'shared' silver for the Huashen Sect!

After all, no matter how shrewd those old liars are, they can't control their internal organs, and they can't resist the bone-eating ecstasy of the 'hibiscus cream'.

As for 'Huashen Monks' like 'Zhang Wen', who are only responsible for 'preaching and preaching' and demagoguery, there is no need for Zhang Yuan to let them join the affairs of the Huashen Sect. Moreover, among the group of 'Huashen Monks', there are still very few 'smart and clever' talents like Zhang Wen! Most of the Huashen monks, Zhang Yuan instead 'carefully selected' some clumsy and honest poor people.

Children from poor families have neither the money to enter the school nor the opportunity to ask a private school teacher to teach privately; Therefore, these ordinary people who have never seen much of the world are more likely to be confused by Zhang Yuan's set of 'myths and stories' that 'have a beginning and an end'; and only the devout believers who themselves have a deep belief in the Huashen Religion can infect the ordinary people who are skeptical and have a wait-and-see attitude with extremely high 'work enthusiasm' and the fullest 'speech emotion'. Therefore, the core people of the Huashen Sect usually put on a gentle, kind, and compassionate official face when dealing with these Huashen monks. And for these believers, as long as they can guarantee to 'compile the basic teachings of the Huashen Sect at any time' and compose some 'self-contained' myths and legends, then for these Huashen monks, it is completely sufficient.

However, unlike these two kinds of 'front-line workers' who are inherently excluded, Zhang Yuan will never and cannot hide from those Demon Slaying Venerables who are responsible for 'doing dirty work'! These people are lonely ghosts who have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, so Zhang Yuan is not afraid that they will betray him; Because for these people, if they lose the protection and support of the Huashen Sect again, they can only go back to the deep mountains and old forests to hide, or wander in all corners of the Huayu Continent, and return to the kind of panic and endless pain......

Therefore, for Zhang Yuan, the Taoist priest of Youfang is just a cooperative relationship; For Zhang Yuan, the Huashen monk is just a propaganda tool; And these Demon Subduing Venerables are his real hardcore henchmen, and they are the 'armed forces' that he really grasps and can rely on.

However, the 'old song' of the Demon Slaying Venerable in front of Shen Gui was a Confucian who read poetry and books. However, perhaps due to the limitation of literary talent, even if Lao Qu began to study hard, his level of knowledge was extremely limited; To be fair, even if he worked hard to learn at the age of eighty, he would not be able to pass the examination in Yanjing City at all; In other words, throughout his life, Lao Qu can only be a 'showman'.

Looking at the world, in fact, such things are not uncommon! But this 'Qu Xiucai', who failed three times and thought highly of himself, obviously didn't think so back then.

When he fell to Sun Shan for the third time, he blamed all the unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory things he encountered on the road to the imperial examination on the last chief examiner. He thinks that the reason why he will fail again is because there is no large amount of money at home for him to bribe the exam; It's all because this examiner is as greedy as a snake that he will let those who are not as good as themselves at all be named on the gold list! Therefore, Qu Xiucai, who found that he was on the list again, did not rush back to his hometown in Sanjin to continue to work hard as in previous years; Instead, he stayed in Yanjing City and secretly followed up and investigated the examiner.

It doesn't matter if this check is done, it turned out to be as he thought! This chief examiner is really a corrupt official and greedy! Now the priceless 'Jade Pig Head Dragon Pattern Pendant' on Lao Qu's body was taken from the corpse of the chief examiner! It can be seen from this that the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites at the time collected a lot of black money in this imperial examination!

However, if you get the right answer, you may not have the right reasoning process!

The former secretary of the Ministry of Rites is indeed a big corrupt official; But at least this 'Qu Xiucai' missed three times, and it was really just because he was not at a good level! Even if he is given a hundred more chances to take a fair exam, he will still lose his name to Sun Shan!

If he can leave a book and leave his name after stabbing the 'enemy', from now on he can either confess his guilt and subdue the law, or go to the end of the world, it can be regarded as a heroic and chivalrous act of 'eliminating harm for the people'; Late the next night, he single-handedly broke into the mansion of Shangshu, which was full of white; With a sharp sword, it only took half a pillar of incense, and there were more than 170 people in the entire Shangshu Mansion, from the old lady who was over seventy years old to the third son of Shangshu Mansion who was not yet four years old, and Qu Xiucai's three-foot Qingfeng did not leave a single living mouth! Moreover, after killing the people of Shangshu Mansion, he still felt that he couldn't understand his hatred, and made a 'case of destroying the door and whipping the corpse' that was angry and resentful

He stripped the six corpses of the old lady who was over seventy, the three-room wife and concubine of Lord Shangshu, and the two young ladies who were no more than twenty, stripped them of all their clothes, and engraved the unsightly obscene words with the tip of his sword, and hung them high in the ancestral ancestral hall of Shangshu Mansion......

Speaking of which, I have to mention the origin of his 'good martial arts'.

As the saying goes, I am born to be useful! Don't look at this 'Qu Xiucai's talent above Wendao, it is basically the same as nothing, but his talent above martial arts is simply so high that it is astonishing! After studying the poetry and righteousness for 30 years, it can't match the few 'big road goods' sword books he bought from the roadside in order to 'strengthen his body'! The reason why this Qu Xiucai bought this thing was to use it as a miscellaneous book; In the process of 'teaching from the book', he did not worship any teacher at all, but with such an extraordinary talent and understanding, plus he could read a few words, and he practiced for half an hour every morning and evening, and he practiced to the point where he is today!

In his life, it is really a true portrayal of men who are afraid of entering the wrong line and women who are afraid of marrying the wrong man!

Qu Xiucai did this tragedy in Yanjing City, and escaped for eight years, and was finally trapped in a valley by the three 'golden knife heads' of the 'anti-theft department' of the Zijin Palace.

This 'Golden Knife Head Catcher' who works in the Purple Gold Palace, enjoys the same treatment as a civil official of the second grade, and it is the highest position that can be promoted to the profession of head catcher. The three old catchers with such identities really need to have brains, martial arts, and experience; Even if there is only one one today, Qu Xiucai will not be able to resist it; What's more, the three golden knife catchers are all out in unison, and he has nothing but to sit and wait to be killed!

However, just when the three golden knife catchers were about to cut off Qu Xiucai's head and bring it back to Beijing to complete the case, Gu Wai suddenly killed a group of uninvited guests at some point! The methods of these people are extremely despicable and shameless, but they are indeed outstanding! They found several dwarfs, dressed as village children who had lost their lives, and approached the three old catchers crying. Then, he saw the opportunity for the other party to be distracted, and used quicklime to fascinate the eyes of the three of them! With this whistle, several dwarfs drew their short knives and began to slash at the tendons of the three fast catchers; Dozens of strong men suddenly appeared and besieged them.

Perhaps due to the superb martial arts and prestige of these three old catchers, although these later people were numerous, they besieged but did not attack, and none of them dared to go up to try the three 'blind catchers' Taoism, but they untied a large stainless steel fishhook from their waists, and patiently helped them to add scars one by one, and finally it took half an hour to give these three 'golden knife old catchers' alive to 'anchor to death'!

Since then, Qu Xiucai, who is 'in a serious case', has followed Zhang Yuan, the 'savior and life-saving benefactor', to go south and north; the reason why he, as a scholar, will also follow Zhang Yuan, a god like him, is that in addition to the mentality of breaking the can and falling, more importantly, because he has lost all confidence in the dim world of the Northern Yan Dynasty! So Zhang Yuan, who saved his life and often stayed with him to denounce the court for being a faint monarch, a treacherous ruler in charge of the court, and an official protecting each other, was naturally also led by 'Qu Xiucai' as a confidant in his life, and he was willing to be driven by him, and began to help him kill people and set fires, and help him eradicate dissidents......

Yes, until today, this Qu Xiu doesn't think how stinky his articles are or how rough his poems are! The reason why he embarked on this road of no return was because he was forced to a dead end by the darkness of the Northern Yan Dynasty!

If Shen Gui could know in advance about the 'past' between this Qu Xiucai and Zhang Yuan, maybe he wouldn't have given Qu Xiucai such a long time to recover and think......

"Hahaha...... It's really a hero out of a teenager! At your age, being able to practice martial arts to such a subtle and unparalleled level is really an eye-opener for Qu! ”

After shouting these heroic words, Qu Xiucai casually ripped off the 'Alluring City Treasure' from his waist and threw it towards Shen Gui casually:

"You've won this fight! This jade pendant will be yours in the future......"

After finishing speaking, taking advantage of Shen Gui's obedience to this treasure of the fallen city, this Qu Xiucai quietly took out a short dagger from his arms, held his hands against his throat, and yelled at Shen Gui viciously:

"Qu's head will also be given to Brother Tai!"

'Poof! ’
