Chapter Twenty-Eight: Convincing with Reason
There was no room for refutation and refusal, and Lu Tong could only take over the position of the Holy Lord of the Cloud Holy Land. Of course, the current Yunzhu Mountain is not a holy place, and Lu Tong can only call himself the mountain master at most, otherwise he will be ridiculed or even suppressed by other sects if it spreads.
Subsequently, Lu Tong, under the leadership of the senior brother, bowed to each deceased holy lord.
After a while, it was already time for the sky to be slightly bright.
However, the three of them were still in good spirits, and they had no intention of resting, but took the master to the top of Yunzhu Mountain, and sat together at the beginning of the morning sun to discuss the follow-up matters of the Tongyun Dojo.
"Little junior brother, it is indeed a gratifying thing that you have successfully crossed the tribulation and entered the Iron Bone Realm now. But Wan Mo is arrogant because of this, although it is beneficial for the purple qi to come from the east and cross the tribulation perfectly, the future calamity will also be more difficult than ordinary people. Do you understand?" Senior Brother Zhou Chongshan took the lead in reminding Lu Tong solemnly.
Lu Tong has long been used to it, and from the mouth of the senior brother, he has never heard any praise.
But he knew that this was the biggest recognition that the senior brother had given him, because the stricter the senior brother, the more satisfied he was.
On the other hand, every time Zhu Qingning drinks, the senior brother will remind him very gently, but it can make the second senior sister's scalp numb and silent.
"Yes, junior brother, how did you do it, it's only been less than a month, it's like a different person?" Zhu Qingning didn't dare to take out his vermilion wine jug at all, and asked with curiosity and excitement.
"Look, even though I took over as the Holy Lord, I'm still the youngest cub on the mountain. Lu Tong scratched his head while slandering in his heart, and said in confusion: "After the last tribulation, I occasionally had an experience and cultivated the Dripping Dao Method to the state of perfection. In addition, the disciples I collected at the foot of the mountain successfully survived the tribulation, so they helped me tide over the difficulties so smoothly. β
This is the truth, but Lu Tong did not mention the root cause of the cloud projection.
It seems that Master is right, you do have the talent to be a preacher. Zhou Chongshan just nodded slightly, and soon said gently: "But you still can't relax." β
"Since the fall of the Cloud Holy Land, it is not that there have been no preachers, but why is it withering more and more?" Zhou Chongshan asked Lu Tong rhetorically.
This is already a clichΓ©, and Lu Tong said almost without thinking: "Because the inheritance of the holy land is interrupted, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the preacher has no way to continue, let alone retain people." β
"Yes, there are also the missionaries from the Holy Land who are not capable of themselves, and the deliberate suppression and even interception of other forces. You must not ignore all kinds of evil causes, and you must not repeat the mistakes of the past. Zhou Chongshan said solemnly.
Lu Tong nodded with a straight face, knowing that Senior Brother was not exaggerating, these were lessons that had happened in the past, not groundless.
"Hmph! I'm here, see who dares to touch the little junior brother, the old lady will burn him to ashes. When Zhu Qingning heard this, he was a little indignant, and he was extremely murderous.
Zhou Chongshan turned his head to look at Zhu Qingning, and said with a faint smile in his gentleness: "Don't kill wantonly, we should convince people with reason, the holy place can be slowly restored, and there will be peace and stability for a long time." β
Seeing Zhou Chongshan's expression, Zhu Qingning suddenly stopped talking.
Zhou Chongshan looked at Lu Tong again, and said, "Now that the dojo has just been built, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, what are the little junior brothers going to do?"
Lu Tong already had a case in his heart, and said casually: "I plan to cultivate obscurity from Taoguang first, and when the time is ripe, I will recapture the Evergreen Dojo." β
The Evergreen Dojo still belonged to Yunzhu Mountain a hundred years ago, but later Yunzhu Mountain had no preacher and could not meddle in the world, so the master had to give up with his own hands, and was fought over by the surrounding forces several times, and finally fell into the hands of Qingyun Sect.
Speaking of which, this evergreen dojo has become the master's greatest shame, and it is also the most heart-piercing thorn in Yunzhu Mountain, and he always wants to pull it out and hold it in his hands.
"How?" asked Zhou Chongshan.
"Now that the little junior brother is already a preacher, not much worse than that evergreen teacher, just grab it back, if anyone is not convinced, the senior sister will kill him for you!" Zhu Qingning couldn't sit still again, and shouted with his fists.
Lu Tong lamented in his heart, with the senior sister's temperament of killing at every turn, it is no wonder that the master did not let her go down the mountain.
Knock Knock......
At this moment, the soul nourishing pot that was offered to the side was also unwilling, and suddenly spoke, and the master made it clear that he was supporting his senior sister. Yes, Senior Sister's violent tendencies are obviously following the Master.
Lu Tong was speechless and looked at the senior brother whose face had turned gentle.
Holding Master's Soul Nourishing Pot in the palm of his hand with a smile, Zhou Chongshan said tepidly: "Master should be tired, I'll send him back to recuperate first, you wait a minute." β
Zhou Chongshan left with the unwilling soul nourishing pot, leaving only Lu Tong and the second senior sister staring wide-eyed.
Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was good to discuss matters when the master was not there, and Zhu Qingning was like a frosted eggplant, without energy. There is no way, the master who supported her the most was sent away, and I am afraid that no one will listen to her genius proposal.
In less than ten breaths, Zhou Chongshan turned back again, and continued to maintain a gentle voice: "It's better to outwit than to take it by force, the Evergreen Dojo is ours, and it should be taken back justifiably, so that we can win the hearts of the people and live up to the name of the Holy Land." β
Lu Tong came to the spirit, which was also what he thought. After all, a practice like the second senior sister is really endless, and the Qingyun Sect doesn't eat rice, is it so easy to forcibly suppress?
What's more, senior brothers and sisters should not show their heads often, as long as they can help the town at a critical moment and prevent Lu Tong from being bullied by force, it is a strategic weapon.
Roughly told the senior brother about his thoughts, Zhou Chongshan nodded solemnly again and again, Zhu Qingning basically couldn't interject, so he could only do it in a hurry.
"There is no place in the dojo at the moment, and it is not possible, I will open the bamboo forest under the mountain as your dojo, it should be enough in a short time. In the end, Zhou Chongshan gave Lu Tong a promise, which is what he needs most now.
The bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain is full of 30 miles in size, and if it can be used as a dojo, it is more than enough to accommodate thousands of households, which is enough to solve Lu Tong's urgent need.
Moreover, the large array left behind by the Cloud Holy Land can also protect the entire dojo, allowing Lu Tong to develop with peace of mind.
"Thank you, brother. Lu Tong said with satisfaction.
The central array of the Cloud Sky Great Array is in the hands of Senior Brother Zhou Chongshan, which has been passed down by the master, even if Lu Tong is now the Holy Lord, he has no intention of taking it back.
One is that his realm is insufficient, and he can't control the big array. Second, this very important thing is safest in the hands of the senior brother.
"But the disciples of the dojo can't go up the mountain for the time being, and the spirit stones needed to maintain the big array also need to be supplied by you. Zhou Chongshan said again.
"As it should be. Lu Tong didn't have a second word.
He didn't think that his disciples would see the true face of Yunzhu Mountain, and continue to maintain a sense of mystery in order to have the best deterrent effect.
As for the spirit stones needed for the big array, of course Lu Tong had to bear it alone, and the senior brother and sister couldn't go out of the mountain, so he could only earn it.
Zhou Chongshan didn't say anything more, and after operating the array in front of the two of them, he left.
When Zhou Chongshan's figure disappeared into the back mountain, Zhu Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Lu Tong with burning eyes, and said eagerly: "Little junior brother, let's talk quickly, what do you need Senior Sister me to do?" haha...... I'm finally able to go down the mountain, although I can only be in the bamboo forest, but it's lively!"
"How about it, do you want me to give you a town? Zhu Qingning said that he was excited, and couldn't help but take out the vermilion wine jug, and after turning his head to look around and not seeing the burly figure, he drank it with confidence.
"Of course, you need to be in charge, senior sister, but not now. Lu Tong smiled and reassured.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Qingning glared at Lu Tong and complained: "Senior brother, you won't be coaxing me, you are a preacher, you look down on your senior sister?"
"How dare you!" Lu Tong hurriedly begged for mercy, and said with a straight face: "Senior sister, the real masters are often the last to appear, you still have to maintain a certain sense of mystery in order to reflect the demeanor of a master, right?" β
"That's pretty much it. Only then did Zhu Qingning put down his raised fist with satisfaction and asked, "Then what do I do now, I can't still stay in the mountains all day, right?"
Lu Tong thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "I have already thought about it for my senior sister, I will open a restaurant in the bamboo forest for you, and you will be a wine fairy who lives in seclusion?"
"Great goodness!" Zhu Qingning was finally satisfied.
