Chapter 21 Lin Bufan
After the matter of the Divine Eagle Guard was submitted to the Golden Gate, it did attract a certain degree of attention from the West Daomen, but Huang Fu Ji was obsessed with the construction of Xingang and the preparation of the New Dao Palace at this time, and did not want to take over this matter.
So going around and around, and finally returned to Qi Xuansu and Taiying's side, and the West Daomen further delegated power, so that the West Tiangang Hall cooperated with their actions, and Qi Xuansu was the main body.
To sum up, Qi Xuansu has more West Tiangang Hall in his hands that can be mobilized. And unlike the Tiangang Hall of the Daomen, the West Daomen did not build a spiritual officer army, because most of the divine power was given to the ancient gods, and it was really not rich, so the West Tiangang Hall was a serious army, imitating the structure of the man in black, and it could also be said that the man in black had the characteristics of the West Daomen.
The real person in charge of the West Tiangang Hall was anxious about the various aftermath problems after the war, and he didn't have the time or mood to help Qi Xuansu, but in order to show his attention to Qi Xuansu, he couldn't be perfunctory, so the West Tiangang Hall sent a secondary deputy hall master.
This second deputy lord is very young.
Although Qi Xuansu is also very young, Qi Xuansu's promotion is based on rules and procedures, and Qi Xuansu's resume is very beautiful, which can be described as a great achievement. To sum up, Qi Xuansu was constantly entrusted with important tasks, never disappointed his superiors, constantly made new contributions, and never deducted his credit, so he was constantly promoted. In addition to reflecting Qi Xuansu's deep background and the people above, it also reflects Qi Xuansu's ability, ability, responsibility, and courage.
Both are indispensable. If you don't have a background, even if you have the ability, you won't necessarily be entrusted with important tasks, and the credit may not be your own, so it's naturally difficult to say about promotion. If you don't have the ability, you can't just have a background, after all, there are not a few people with a background, so why promote you, there must be some basis.
There are no such rules on the Xidaomen side, a bit like the imperial court in the past, which can ascend to the sky in one step. For example, in the imperial court in the past, there were people who entered the cabinet at the age of 25 and were ranked in the cabinet. No matter how young Qi Xuansu is, he has already passed the age of thirty, and he has not officially entered Jinque, let alone the further ruling party and Jinque Xiaoyi.
This is the case of the second deputy hall master of the West Tiangang Hall, although he is not surnamed Gong, but he was favored by a niece and granddaughter of Gong Dazhen, and he is also capable, so he was promoted all the way to the position of the second deputy hall master.
In fact, the biggest problem that many young people can't be promoted is that they can't keep up with their realm cultivation, which is a very important factor.
At the beginning, there was an incident in Daomen, there was a daughter who went down to gild, and she was promoted quickly, but the eldest lady didn't know how to be a person, and she didn't understand the truth that some things could be done and couldn't be said.
Once the Taoist government came to inspect, the county-level Taoist temple had to arrange many activities, and the people in the temple were busy in the dark, this female Taoist priest just stood by and watched coldly, and the Taoist people were polite to her: "The people of your Taoist temple are still very capable, and they are also very obedient to your superior." The female viewer crossed her waist, pouted, and spread her feet apart, and said disdainfully: "They dare to be disobedient? What else can you do besides being honest and obedient? ”
It's hurtful.
As a result, there was a wild Taoist priest in the temple at that time, who jumped up and opened the bow left and right to give the female viewer two big mouths.
The female viewer is a typical Taoist priest in the flower garden, and her cultivation is not high, so she didn't react.
Afterwards, of course, this wild Taoist priest was severely punished, and he was pushed to the end, but he retained his identity as a Taoist priest in the end. As for the female viewer, she had a bright future, because this matter ended here.
The wild Taoist priest said afterwards that it didn't matter, I would exchange an eight-grade Taoist priest for a six-grade Taoist priest, and I would not lose money.
As for why? On the surface, this is a failure to do a good job in the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Isn't it glorious to be slapped in public by a subordinate for the real reason in secret? It's just a joke, all the majesty is gone, and if you go up, it's hard to convince the public, it's equivalent to turning a joke into a big joke and exposing your ass to others, in short, it's not doing this material.
This shows the importance of realm cultivation, without realm cultivation as a foundation, even if you go up, you can't sit steadily. If you tear your face during the discussion, your subordinates will directly beat the emperor with three punches, and you will be beaten with a mouse, and what is the majesty of the boss to talk about.
A subordinate is not an opponent of the boss, even if he is beaten by the boss, it is not a shame. But if it's the other way around, it's a complete laughing stock.
So it was not simple for Xu Kou to provoke Zhang Yuelu at the beginning, if Zhang Yuelu was not Xu Kou's opponent, don't care what Xu Kou was dealt with afterwards, whether he was beaten or killed, Zhang Yuelu, the newly appointed deputy hall master, was smashed, and it was smashed, which was also Li Tianzhen's sinister intentions.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu easily suppressed Xu Kou and played a role in Liwei, but she did not pursue it afterwards, but let Xu Kou be convinced and change the camp.
Qi Xuansu's promotion is essentially following the realm of cultivation, and it is all the same.
The reason why this second deputy hall master is called Lin Bufan, the reason why he was reused and promoted by Gong Dazhen is that in addition to the relationship between people and the world, the main reason is that his cultivation is quite good, and he is already in the immeasurable stage before the age of forty, even if he is not as good as Qi Xuansu and Li Changge, he is also on par with the eldest granddaughter of the Taitai family.
The realm cultivation can be held in the town, and only then can it be supported on the wall.
Lin Bufan is a very likable person, optimistic and cheerful, with a kind of vitality unique to a wild Taoist, after being arranged to cooperate with Qi Xuansu, he did not delay for a moment, and immediately came to Qi Xuansu to report.
In fact, from a certain point of view, the West Daomen gave Qi Xuansu the treatment of a real person in charge of the hall, and assigned him a chief deputy hall master of the Absolute Holy Hall and a second deputy hall master of the West Tiangang Hall.
Because the West Tiangang Hall is a military organization, it has an independent intelligence system within it, and it does not intersect with the Absolute Holy Church. Qi Xuansu, in the spirit of not using it in vain, asked Lin Bufan to investigate the matter of the insects.
Lin Bufan didn't disappoint Qi Xuansu, and a few days later, he brought Qi Xuansu a piece of news about the worm.
In the vicinity of Cusco, there is a mountain villa, which is very suspicious, and it is suspected to be the stronghold of the Worms. As evidence, Lin Bufan also gave Qi Xuansu a few image pictures, it is a forest behind the villa, the trees in it cannot be named, they are very distorted, the bark is mottled, and there are various tree nodules and growths, which is not enough, the key is that the trees are full of coconut-like fruits, and each fruit has facial features, and the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and other organs can be vaguely seen. The expression is weird, sad or happy, crying or laughing.
After Qi Xuansu saw these pictures, he specifically consulted Wu Niang.
Wu Niang said that these things are called human face fruits, and there are some similarities with the human face trees that Qi Xuansu saw in Fenglinzhou, they are all deformed xenomorphs that were bred because of excessive yin qi or corpse qi, these things themselves are not dangerous, but once this kind of thing is found, it means that there should be a large number of corpses nearby.
Considering the recent outbreak of the Shadow Tide, it is likely to be related to the Blood Sacrifice, if not related to the Bugmen.
Lin Bufan asked Qi Xuansu whether he wanted to send a large army to surround and search the villa.
Qi Xuansu rejected this proposal, but asked Lin Bufan to stand still, not to startle the snake, he wanted to go and see for himself what was wrong with this villa.
This is also Qi Xuansu's self-confidence, as long as he doesn't face an immortal-level enemy, he can deal with everything else, and it's not a big problem.
So Qi Xuansu went to this villa called Huen Villa according to the address provided by Lin Bufan - yes, this villa has a great relationship with the Huen brothers, strictly speaking, Huen Villa is the joint property of the Huen brothers.
However, since the accident of the Huen brothers, this mountain villa has gradually been deserted, and some people have been able to enter it and discover all kinds of strange things, which has attracted the attention of Xitiangangtang. If it was before, even if someone knew something, they would be covered by the Huen family, and they would not dare to spread it easily.
That's it, and there are rumors that the elder brother of the Huen brothers, Huen Ahan, is an important member of the Heron Society.
This made Qi Xuansu very interested, the matter of the Huen brothers, he was a witness and direct promoter, and the younger brother Huen Chawen colluded with the evangelistic ministry of the Steam Gospel, betrayed secrets, and was characterized as a rebellion and was dealt with according to law. His elder brother Huen Akhan was affected, and although he was not punished on the surface, he still left Cusco, which had been rooted for many years, and went to Xinxijing to take up a post, which was tantamount to being watched by Xidaomen under his nose.
The Hune family also ushered in a wave of violent turmoil.
That's why the Hune Lodge was deserted.
In Qi Xuansu's opinion, even if this Huen Mountain Villa has nothing to do with the insects, as long as it is related to the Shadow Tide or the Heron Society, it is worth exploring for him.
Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang quietly infiltrated Huen Villa, which was completely Chinese-style, but it was already a depressed and dilapidated scene, and it was hard to imagine that this place was a different scene a few months ago.
Qi Xuansu did not stay in the villa for long, but went directly to the back of the villa, where there was a large forest, after entering the forest, sure enough, as you can see in the picture, the trees here are very twisted, the bark is mottled, there are all kinds of nodules and growths, and the trees are full of human face fruits.
There is a path in the forest that is about to be completely flooded by wild grass, Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang follow this path to the depths of the forest, because the woods are dense, and the canopy of the trees is next to the canopy, covering the sky and the sun, so the deeper they go, the darker and gloomy it becomes. Ordinary people will inevitably be scared half to death when they walk into it.
However, Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang naturally won't be afraid, Wu Niang is even a little eager to try, wanting to set a fire and burn all these ghost things to ashes.
