Chapter 13: Maoshan's Ambition (for the [Lord of Reincarnation] Ten Thousand Rewards)
Uncle Nine's wedding went smoothly, and soon after the groom and groom were sent into the cave room, Uncle Nine came out to toast. Because of Uncle Jiu's high seniority, there are not many people who can let him toast, plus he ate a hangover pill in advance, and after a round of saluting, the drunk Uncle Nine was put into the cave room by Qiusheng and Wencai......
Of course, Uncle Nine deliberately pretended to be drunk, and after entering the cave room and the two unlucky apprentices also left, Uncle Nine opened his eyes and was very sober.
However, Uncle Nine can't go to the front to entertain guests. Fortunately, there is a plenipotentiary agent of Zuo Xiaoyou, in front of him, the richest man in Xiangxi, even if he is a person with a high rank, he has to give a little face, and the atmosphere of the whole wedding banquet is very warm.
ushered in the send-off, and the lively and lively came to night. After sending off the last batch of greeting guests, Qiusheng and Wencai collapsed directly on the ground: "It's finally over, I'm tired to death." ”
As Uncle Jiu's apprentices, these two unlucky people were naturally pulled in to welcome and see off guests, and they were busy for a day, which made the two of them tired enough.
"Eat something and go back early to rest." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Don't leave your wife at home alone." ”
"Got it." The two of them got up weakly, ate some leftovers casually, and left on their bicycles.
In this era, it is very rare to have a bicycle, which is basically equivalent to having a 300,000-level BMW sedan in the 21st century. Akiyo has had a bicycle since the beginning and has been riding it ever since. Of course Wencai didn't, he was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, and Qiusheng was in charge of sending him home.
Those who should have gone were gone, but one remained. There is no doubt that it is the third master of Maoshan.
"Isn't the third master going to rest?" Zuo Xiaoyou walked into the courtyard and was sitting in front of the third master who was sitting at the stone table and pouring himself a drink, and said, "Master drank too much today, and he didn't entertain the third master well." Please also forgive me. ”
"You don't have to say these polite words to Uncle Shi." The third master motioned for Zuo Xiaoyou to sit down, and then took out a thread-bound book from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zuo Xiaoyou.
Zuo Xiaoyou glanced down at the cover of the book, there was nothing written on it, and it was blank.
"What is this?"
"This is the Five Thunder Fa that only the head of Maoshan can cultivate." The third master said with a calm expression. As if talking about a trivial matter.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at him and didn't slam the book, "What does the third master mean?" ”
Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou was so calm, the third master secretly praised in his heart: He is worthy of being the richest man in Xiangxi, and he is really unusual.
"I heard that my nephew and Mr. Zhongshan have a good relationship." The third master said with a smile.
Zuo Xiao's right eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "General friends." ”
"Hehe, if the nephew and Mr. Zhongshan are general friends, then there are few people in this world who have a relationship with Mr. Zhongshan." The third master obviously didn't believe this nonsense, and he poured a glass of wine. picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Senior nephew, why are you so precautionary?" Uncle Shi, I just want to fight for more benefits for the future of Maoshan. ”
Really.
Zuo Xiaoyou confirmed the conjecture in his heart, these three masters came here to promote the status of the Maoshan faction in the south.
He had a close relationship with Mr. Nakayama, who, after another year of hard work, had completely laid the territory in the south and was preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Now people of insight all over the world probably see it. Mr. Zhongshan is likely to become the ultimate ruler of the land of China, so for his own benefit. There are naturally many forces that take refuge in Mr. Zhongshan, and Maoshan, as a sect sandwiched between the north and the south, naturally hopes that his own sect can prosper.
Two years ago, Mr. Nakayama promulgated a law that the people under his rule must not have producers, and the goal was to directly target the monks who only recited the scriptures and did not work, and only relied on their mouths to fool the common people into living.
For the past two years, the monk's temple under Mr. Nakayama's rule has been preserved. But there are few monks left in the temple. Those who can stay as monks are those who rely on their own labor to support themselves, and they can be regarded as real monks.
However, the power of the monks was basically finished under Mr. Zhongshan, so Taoism, which could rely on its own abundant food and clothing, also developed greatly under the rule of Mr. Zhongshan. The Maoshan sect serves as the exorcism leader of Taoism. Naturally, I also want to get more promotion under Mr. Zhongshan's rule, so that the common people can encounter demons and monsters, and the first thing that comes to mind is to ask Maoshan Taoist priests to exorcise demons and eliminate ghosts.
Zuo Xiaoyou, as a person who has a close relationship with Mr. Zhongshan and a disciple of the Nine Elders of the Maoshan Sect, is very suitable as a matchmaker. Therefore, the third master came all the way from Maoshan to Xiangxi, and also brought the most precious thousand-year-old peach wood sword in Maoshan as a congratulatory gift, all in order to deliberately curry favor with Mr. Zhongshan.
Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "What benefits does the third master want?" ”
Hearing this, the third master was in high spirits, and said: "It's very simple, if you want to say exorcism and ghost hunting, my Maoshan is the one who will not let it go, the demons and monsters in the world are rampant, my Maoshan faction wants to maintain the safety of the world, and it is my duty to do it, if Mr. Zhongshan can seal our Maoshan faction as the world's first exorcism sect, and seal the head as the world's first exorcism master, the Maoshan faction is willing to do everything to help Mr. Zhongshan sweep away the ghosts around him, so that Mr. Zhongshan can start and end well." ”
If he agrees to the Maoshan faction's demands, the Maoshan faction will certainly flourish throughout the country in the future, and it is very likely that it will eventually evolve into a state religion. Seeing the harm of religion in the afterlife, the left and the right will never allow this to happen.
Of course, this is not without benefits, for example, Mr. Nakayama, as the founder of the new country (which is not yet completed), there must be many people who wish for him to die early, and it is not impossible for some people in the cultivation world to take risks for the sake of glory and wealth. If there is a master of the Maoshan faction to protect Mr. Nakayama, presumably Mr. Nakayama's security will also be greatly improved.
The so-called good beginning and good ending is to let Mr. Zhongshan be free of illness and disaster, and die well.
In this era of war and chaos, it is very difficult to achieve the end of life, Mr. Zhongshan is not young now, for him, the end of life is a luxury coat, it depends on whether he can wear it?
Thinking of the Japanese devil's war of aggression against China eighteen years later, Zuo Xiaoyou made a decision.
"Good!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Tomorrow I will take the third master to see Mr. Zhongshan." ”
The third master smiled and said, "Very good! Zuo Shinephew, you have to remember that you are also a disciple of Maoshan, and you and my Maoshan faction can be said to be both prosperous and lossy, so everything must be considered for the interests of Maoshan. Pointing to the book that recorded the Five Thunder Fa, the third master was full of envy: "This is something that only the head of the sect and the future head can cultivate." ”
The meaning is already obvious, the Maoshan faction is taking Zuo Xiaoyou as a candidate for the head. But can you become the head of Maoshan in the end? It also depends on his performance in the future.
Zuo Xiaoyou has no interest in the head of Maoshan, and his main quest 3 is to become the world's first exorcist master, how can he give this name to the current head of Maoshan!
Find a way to get him! This is the current thinking of the left and the right.
Zuo Xiaoyou put away the book, and the third master went to rest satisfied.
Not long after the third master left, Zuo Xiaoyou rushed to the rockery ten meters away and shouted: "Master, the third master has already left, you can come out." ”
When the voice fell, Uncle Nine walked out from behind the rockery and said with a smile: "You kid, your ears are getting more and more sensitive." ”
"It's not just the ears." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "There is also the body's perception of the surrounding environment." Within a radius of 100 meters, no matter what the wind and grass do, they can't escape my perception. ”
Uncle Nine was startled by these words: "Then don't you even feel what your master is doing?" ”
"......" Zuo Xiaoyou said helplessly: "Master, be serious." ”
"I'm serious." Uncle Nine walked to the place where the third uncle sat before and sat down, and said, "Who did you learn your perception from?" I don't remember teaching you that. ”
"You should be regarded as a disciple with extraordinary talents and supernatural powers!" Zuo Xiaoyou didn't want to explain more, so he changed the topic: "Master, what do you think of what I said to the third master just now?" ”
"What can I think?" Uncle Nine said: "After all, we are all Maoshan disciples, of course I hope that the Maoshan faction can develop and grow, as the so-called cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is harmful to two, I think Mr. Zhongshan will understand." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "It's not a problem for Mr. Zhongshan to establish the Maoshan Sect as the No. 1 exorcism sect in the world, the question is whether the head of the sect has the strength to be the No. 1 in the world?" If I was named the first in the world on the first day and was defeated on the second day, not only would the Maoshan faction not look good, but Mr. Zhongshan would also be annoyed and angry, then it would be difficult for me to turn over Maoshan. ”
Hearing this analysis, Uncle Jiu's face became solemn: "I'm not worried about the first thing you said, I'm Maoshan is the righteous leader of the exorcism world, but the title of the world's first exorcism master...... The senior brother in charge is indeed a little overjoyed. ”
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. How many masters are willing to be the first foil? "Zuo Xiaoyou has seen the thoughts of the head of Maoshan more thoroughly, but the head of Maoshan has forgotten one thing.
The first in the world is not so easy to be.
The so-called first in the world is the chicken that is roasted on the fire. Either evolve into Phoenix Nirvana, or directly turn into a roast chicken and be eaten.
And there are talents from all generations, each of whom has received four or five years. You are the first in the world today, and you may not even be able to enter the top ten in the world tomorrow, and the taste of falling from the first place is not something that ordinary people can afford. With the character of the head of Maoshan who is eager for quick success and quick profit, he is good not to lose, but if he loses to anyone, it is possible to say that he will commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
"There is no turning back from the bow." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Since the head master is so confident, then the disciple will do his best to help the Maoshan faction." As for whether Maoshan can become the world's largest religion? It depends on the number of qi in my Maoshan Mountain. ”
These words did not make Uncle Jiu's blood boil, but he was even more worried. From the bottom of his heart, Uncle Nine is a cautious person, he is very cautious in everything, and he can't wait for there to be no demons and monsters in the world, so that he can live in peace and stability.
The so-called older otaku is talking about Uncle Nine. (To be continued.) )
