Chapter 408: The Middleman
(《》 ) (《》) (《》?) It was originally an absurd description, but if it was recognized by the two masters, at least seven points were credible, and the remaining three points still need to be verified. (Breeze) (Qingfeng Literature Network?)
"According to you, aren't the people of the Demon Realm alive?" The Sparrow looked up and asked, his imagination not thinking of what kind of tragedy it was.
"What's more, the deterioration of the environment has led to a lack of spiritual energy, there are fewer and fewer places to cultivate, and coupled with the ravages of fierce beasts, it is difficult for cultivators to live. Moreover, the cultivators of the Demon Realm are all under the snobbery of the Seven Great Dharma Protectors, and they still have breathing, so it will be difficult for the war to stop. I knew you might not believe it, so I brought back three refugees, and you asked them yourself. Wang Hao took off his burden and turned around and left, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a light cough in his heart.
God, the fat man sweated wildly, secretly screaming that it was dangerous, and quickly turned his head, pointed at Wuxin and said, "The father and daughter are refugees, and this is my friend." ”
The night wind struck, and Xin'er walked carelessly in the moonlight, although she didn't care about the survival of the Seven Dharma Protectors, she still decided to stay first, maybe it was an instinctive protection for her clansmen.
"A lot of times lying is a last resort, so lying is not a disadvantage, it's different if you don't believe it, you seem to have promised to help don't guess, and now you leave them alone, which is unreasonable." Xin'er is a mysterious woman, even now, the fat man doesn't know what she's thinking, maybe for the sake of the clan, she will attack herself, but one thing is certain, if she makes a move, the fat man has no ability to resist.
Wang Hao looked at the moon and said listlessly: "No matter what kind of price you offer, you can't let me sell Xuanmen." This is not called not believing in words, and not guessing that moving to the human world to escape the war is completely wishful thinking. He didn't ask too much, as long as I created an opportunity for him to talk to the Sparrow alone. And I did. As for whether he can convince the Sparrow, that's none of my business. No matter what the outcome is, it is a decision made by Shique out of careful consideration and judging the situation. will not be influenced or deceived by others, Chen Xuan and Xiao Yixian can give him correct information, there is no difference between me and my absence. ”
"You're a slippery head." The careless gaze didn't change much, but the intimidating pressure dissipated.
"I'm sticking to my principles." The fat man finally smiled better.
The two of them were not talking, bathed in the bright moonlight, in such an environment, the fat man naturally thought of Zhuo Yue, and the appearance of his heart became blurred. Turned into a snow-white shadow.
The night of waiting was unusually long, and at noon the next day, Shi Que sent someone to look for him, but only called Xin'er and the fat man, and did not inform any unrelated people, obviously, the negotiations have not yet been formally concluded, but the prospects are bright, at least the people on both sides have not fought hard, and both think that there is still a need for talks.
To stay or not to stay. How to stay? It may seem like an either/or question, but it's actually quite complicated. Deciding such an important event is also a severe test for Shi Finch, who will either become an epoch-making hero of Xuanmen or a sinner of Xuanmen. One thought becomes a god, and one thought becomes a demon. Even if it is decided to agree to the relocation of the people into the human realm, there are still cumbersome details to be discussed, and the two completely hostile snobbery suddenly live under the same roof, and God knows what will happen, bumps and bumps are inevitable. (Literature Reading) (Literature Reading ""?) If the details are not drawn up in advance, it will be a big trouble in the future, and it will not be an overnight task to draw up a complete charter, and this charter must be approved by both sides.
A charter can never be in everyone's interest. If you are cheap, you will be treated badly by the demons. Vice versa. Shi Que's care for the Xuanmen is famous, even if it is the Xiuzhen family that is not harmful, he has used all kinds of means to suppress it, not to mention the newcomer to the Earth Demon Clan, Shi Que's opinion is to treat the Demon Clan as a Xiuzhen family, in order not to affect the balance of the Xuanmen, they are required to be stationed in the West.
Don't guess naturally refusing to agree, although there is a request for people, but when it comes to the rights and interests of the demons, the old guy is not giving an inch, quite a diplomat. is the same as the Xiuzhen family, isn't that raised by the stepmother? Speaking of the West, the concept of Don't Guess has not yet changed, in his thinking, everything outside of Shenzhou belongs to the land of barbarians, and it is absolutely impossible for him to station in the land of barbarians.
In fact, out of the concept of inheritance of the Orientals, they do not intend to be stationed in the West, although it is easier to find the spiritual veins there, but talent is the foundation of the sect's life, in the West, let alone the selection of disciples with excellent qualifications, it is difficult to find yellow skin and black eyes, and the descendants cannot be found, and the inheritance is a fart?
Probably feeling that the conditions were too harsh, Shi Que made some compromises, allowing the demons to return to the east occasionally, and select disciples in the specified area and at the specified time under the 'accompaniment' of the Xuanmen Land.
No matter how you say this, this condition is like a pretext, first of all, you must get the consent of Xuanmen in advance, what if Xuanmen deliberately delays? What if Xuanmen takes the opportunity to plant an undercover agent? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Xuanmen doesn't take the opportunity to subvert the demon clan, there are talented candidates, they can leave the demon clan, and it's not enough to pick it yourself. Also, why should the process of selecting disciples be subject to shuanggui?
There is no doubt that this is an unequal treaty, and it is unacceptable that even the selection of disciples depends on people's eyes, not only the selection of apprentices, but also the fact that he does not agree to be stationed in the West at all. The bottom line of the stone sparrow is also very clear, the people of the demon clan cannot set foot in the east, and it is also the bottom line of the Xuanmen, even if the stone finch is willing to agree, the people of the Xuanmen will not agree.
The negotiations reached an impasse, and the two old guys were at loggerheads, and finally called the fat man, and that's what happened.
Some people are determined to get ahead, but they can only do nothing, and some people make a living secretly, but facts create people, and you can't escape, Wang Hao belongs to the latter, he has never been ambitious, but he inherited the identity of an alchemist, and his every move will inevitably affect the future of Xuanmen. And now, fate has forcibly pulled him and the Xuanmen and the Demon Alliance together.
Although Wang Hao is not the most snobbish person in the Xuanmen, let alone highly respected, he is the only person in the Xuanmen who does not know it, not to mention that he also holds the five dragon balls in his hands that will determine the future fate of the demon race. All of this kept him out of the way.
It took half an hour, Wang Hao finally heard some clues from the argument between the two old guys, isn't it just about the stationing place? It is also necessary to make a big fuss.
"The snobbery of the Xuanmen tends to be saturated in the east, this is an indisputable fact, all the land is allocated to the various sects, not to mention finding a decent spiritual vein, it is difficult to find a place to settle down, no sect can tolerate the demon clan stationed under their noses. (Qingfeng So, if you don't guess if you insist on going your own way, the only outcome is to trigger the war, plus Wang Hao originally belonged to the Xuanmen, and unconsciously stood on the side of the stone sparrow, the demon clan, it is more appropriate to be stationed in the west.)
"You don't have anything to say now, do you?" Shi Finch's face changed from irritable at first to proud, and the two sides found Wang Hao when they couldn't hold each other. It is just a fair sentence, but Wang Hao's words are not fair, the situation is in a delicate balance, and this fair sentence will undoubtedly be a heavy bargaining chip that overwhelms the imbalance of the scale.
"How's that going to work? So how will we solve the problem of accepting disciples in the future? The West is a barbarian, and there is no suitable successor. Don't guess and jumped up from the stool excitedly.
"Come back to accept apprentices, when it comes to accepting apprentices, I have an opinion, we all know that there is an unwritten rule in Xuanmen, and when you accept apprentices, you can only look for them in your own snobbish range. Different sects have different cultivation methods. For an apprentice with a good talent in Shu Mountain, he may not be outstanding when he is sent to Binglan Water Pavilion, but he is likely to be nothing when he arrives in Xingyue Sect. Therefore, if you do not break the regional concept when accepting disciples, not only will it be difficult for each sect and sect to find satisfactory successors, but it will also be the children of misguided people. If there is sincerity. You might as well break this precept, anyone can accept disciples without geographical restrictions, and the problem will be solved. Wang Haoneng made this high remark because he heard Zhuo Yue talk about it before, but he didn't know the origin of this drawback. The so-called existence is reasonable, and it is helpless for the Xuanmen to form such a taboo, and the reason why the various factions want to allocate fiefs is, in the final analysis, nothing more than the consideration of monopolizing resources. In order for Xuanmen to develop, it needs no more than three resources. The first is the spiritual vein, the second is wealth, including natural talents, treasures, but also worldly money, and the third and most important thing is human resources, what is the most expensive in the 21st century, talents! Even Uncle Li can understand the truth, how can Xuanmen, who has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, not understand how easy it is to break this kind of monopoly.
Shi Que also knows the disadvantages of monopoly, from his point of view, the gains and losses of individual sects are not important, but more focused on the development of Xuanmen, so he also wants to break this taboo, but he is not stunned after all, so he just thinks about it, Shi Que knows very well what this monopoly is, this is the life and death line of the Xuanmen sect, it is an almost insurmountable gap, usually can't be seen, can't be touched, if anyone hits head-on, they can know what is called head breaking blood, so he didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes.
The little medicine fairy was deeply touched by this, and had a compassionate bodhisattva heart, and finally stood up and said: "Of course, it is impossible to completely break the taboo, but a proper compromise is good for everyone, at least we can all find suitable disciples." The cultivation environment of the human world is constantly deteriorating, and correspondingly, the talent requirements for the heirs are getting higher and higher, this problem plagues all the Xuanmen sects, I believe that with the prestige of the Stone Bird Daoist, if you are willing to raise your arms, someone will definitely respond, and Binglan Water Pavilion will be the first to support. ”
Chen Xuan also immediately said: "Shi Yue, no matter what you say, this is a good thing, if you are willing to come forward, I have no opinion." ”
Chen Xuan agreed, almost representing the attitude of the Xingyue Sect, although these two people are not the identity of the sect masters of the same faction, but in terms of identity and prestige, they are no worse than the head of the sect. In the blink of an eye, two masters expressed their support, and the stone sparrow couldn't help but be a little moved, and he was a lot more confident.
After all, they not only represent the two sects, but also represent the wishes of most of the Xuanmen sects, and Chen Xuan and Zhuo Yue are not weaker than Shi Que in terms of appeal. Maintaining a monopoly advantage is one thing, the Xuanmen sect does face practical problems, if the monopoly advantage remains unchanged, Shi Que is still confident that the heads of the various sects will be tempted, in fact, that is what he is best at.
"Since you can get the full support of the two of you, then the old man will do his best, but the result is not guaranteed, after all, this involves the interests of too many sects."
Don't look at the stone sparrow pretending to be reluctant on the surface, he has already snickered in his heart. For Xuanmen, this is not a thousand years of merit
A good deed, if it could be brought about, would be an immortal achievement, and he would never let go of such an opportunity. The only thing that makes him embarrassed is that the resistance that will be faced to facilitate this matter is naturally a good thing if it succeeds, but what if it doesn't? It's hard to guarantee that you won't end up in disgrace.
Unless there is a foolproof certainty. The Sparrow is not willing to take risks, in fact, the Sparrow is not the commander of the light pole, there are eleven sects that obey him, in the Xuanmen, this is an open secret. With this writing chip, even if he can't get the unanimous approval of the Xuanmen people, he can force himself in a certain area
Break the taboo. The implementation of cross-regional selection of disciples, of course, Chen Xuan and Xiao Yixian are indispensable, without their support, this reform will become a one-man show of Shi Finch, like a farce written and acted by himself, Shi Que wants not this effect, but the momentum of unity.
Seemingly simple plan, unless Wang Hao participates. Otherwise, there will never be a chance to put it into practice, not to mention anything else, if there is no participation from him, don't expect to get the support of Chen Xuan and Zhuo Yue, Chen Xuan has never cared about Xuanmen's thousand-year plan. If it weren't for his brother, he wouldn't have bothered to ask about this kind of bird, let alone any support.
Not only that, Shi Que also knew that Chen Xuan's support was just talking, or going all out. It all depends on the degree of participation of the brothers, compared with the great cause of the Xuanmen, Chen Xuan is more concerned about whether the brothers can be in the limelight, and if they want to succeed, they have to pull the fat man. Sometimes even the stone finch envies Wang Hao. There is a brother on the beach who looks forward to Jackie Chan, and it is so difficult to think of the limelight. His eyes are the windows to his soul, and his gaze has become very strange, and he has some bad intentions.
Old glass! Die! Wang Hao was stared at by him, like a virgin who had been stripped naked, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
In any case, it is fortunate that the first problem that plagued the negotiations has been solved. Don't guess agreed to be stationed in the West without affecting the acceptance of disciples.
Shi Que also immediately made a decision, and in the coming days, he will spare no effort to break down the barriers and implement the cross-regional selection of disciples, of course, the leader of the plan is Wang Hao. From Chen Xuan's satisfied expression, Shi Que understood that he had done the right thing.
The rest is a matter of details, such as the specific snobbery of the two sides, and there is no accurate indication on the map which side belongs to the East and which side belongs to the West. In addition, the two wars of gods and demons will inevitably have problems left over from history, and in principle, the previous hatred will be written off, and the two sides are not allowed to seek revenge against each other, but this is an ideal state, once a dispute occurs, what kind of way to deal with it?
Specifically, the terms are detailed.,The general solution is to set up an independent council room.,Three people each from the Xuanmen and the demons to ensure justice.,In fact, these six people are all decorations.,Everyone will favor their own side.,There's never a conclusion to the quarrel.,In the end, there must be a person who has the final word.,The seventh person.,That is, the head of the council room.,Theoretically, it should be a person who is highly respected.,But looking at the universe,I'm afraid I can't find a person who can convince both the Xuanmen and the demons.。
Don't guess that he set his eyes on Wang Hao again, and it is still the best choice to choose.
As the person in charge of the chamber, first of all, he must be impartial, Wang Hao must give up his identity as a Xuanmen, as a neutral existence, from this point of view, the fat man is also the best choice, because Wang Hao himself has no door and no faction, and it is reasonable to be neutral, it is really troublesome to change to other masters, that is the sin of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, who has the guts?
Instead of objecting, Shi Que also put forward a large number of bases for the fat man's competence, and after voting, both sides said that they had no objection, and it was finalized.
Oh, my God! After taking this errand, he is destined to never have peace in the future. The fat man is going crazy! The flesh on his face began to tremble, if he didn't know that his cultivation was still shallow, he would have the mind to hang up the two old guys. shouted loudly: "Who said that the master has no teacher? Others don't dare to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, but the master dare? This matter is not negotiable, you can ask for another one
Although Wang Hao didn't know what sect King Dan was, and he didn't know if he belonged to the Xuanmen, anyway, this incident made him feel guilty, and it was right to be uncomfortable.
"Brother Wang, don't worry, as far as a few of us know, to the outside world, you are still a member of the Xuanmen." Shi Que noticed that the fat man's face was not good, and quickly explained.
Donchai also said that this matter will never be made public, and the fat man will never be allowed to get into trouble, no matter what ruling the fat man makes, it will eventually be announced in the name of the collegial panel.
"Brother Wang, don't feel wronged, this is a fat shortage, take this messenger, whether it is the Xuanmen or the Demon Clan, in the future, whether it is the Xuanmen or the Demon Clan, they will try their best to please you, and you are still worried that you will not be able to get oil and water? As for identity, although rest assured, externally, you are still a member of the Xuanmen, and the old man guarantees that you will not suffer a loss. The stone finch grinned and leaned over, as if the flattery had begun.
The fat man immediately looked at him angrily: "What do you mean by the outside?" The master was originally a member of the Xuanmen! ”
In the end, even the fat man felt ridiculous, he didn't have this loyalty to Xuanmen before, and he didn't even want to admit that he was a member of Xuanmen, maybe it was because of his sense of belonging?, maybe he was unwilling to be deprived of his identity by the stone sparrow, why did he?
As everyone knows, this is what the stone finch wants, Wen Yan gently patted the fat man's shoulder, and squeezed out a tacit smile.
Don't look at these trivial things, but they are often the focus of contention, in fact, there is nothing to fight about in the first place, either it is okay or not, what is fought for is the flexible part.
The content of the negotiations must be recorded in the form of words, and the effect is similar to the legal provisions, and it will be difficult to revise them in the future, and the two old fellows know the importance of the issue, and they don't care what their identity is, and in the blink of an eye they have changed from diplomats to profiteers. The baht must be compared, not an inch of land, the details are a word by word, every time the fight is inseparable, the fat man is pulled.
Wang Hao was finally depressed to find that the identity of this adjudicator was destined from the beginning, no wonder Shi Que did not object. (《》?) (《》)
