Soon, a small catcher quickly sent the rubbing of the "Sect Affiliated Contract" in the yamen.

After Jiang Chou thanked him, he sat in the front yard and began to look through the morning light.

The "Sect Affiliation Contract" is a subsidiary contract set by the Huang Kingdom with the help of the major sects, and it is the most powerful contract to be observed by the major sects in the cultivation world today, and the implementation of the contract often requires both the court and the sect to be jointly responsible.

Even if it is the lowest level of the Taoist temple such as the annexation of Xiaoqingguan, Zhongtongmen must be stamped by the county order of Qinghe County on the surface, which is the reason.

The Dahuang Dynasty, which has experienced the war between gods and demons, has been established for nearly a thousand years, and the territory is extremely vast, and it has not been able to see a decline so far, I have to say that most of it depends on the strength of these sects, so the "Contract" often treats the subordinate sects preferentially.

However, it is not that there is no way for the small sect to live.

After all, once the way of life of the new sect is cut off, then those big sects will only form a monopoly in the end, which is not a good thing for the Huangguo court.

Imperial power, to put it bluntly, is the word "balance".

Jiang Chou, who has crossed over from the 21st century, understands this truth, so he believes that there may be a glimmer of life in this "contract" of Xiaoqingguan!

From morning to evening, Jiang Chou never looked away.

The candles in the main hall have burned out, leaving countless candle marks, wisps of green smoke drifting into the air, and Sanqing's face is blurred.

"Smack"

Jiang Chou closed the "Contract", and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Goo-goo-goo"

At this time, the stomach barked uncontrollably.

"Let's do it first!"

Jiang Chou put down the "Contract" and came to the dining room, scooping water and cooking porridge while recalling a few entries he had just seen.

The "Contract" says that the subordinate sect shall not forcibly occupy the land of the affiliated sect without reason, and must negotiate the price with the affiliated sect and purchase it through the formal transaction process, otherwise, the affiliated sect can petition in accordance with the law.

This is the terms that Zhongtongmen followed to buy the title deed with a thousand taels, but the so-called "negotiation" process was automatically skipped.

One thousand taels is the price after the "negotiation"!

If Zhongtongmen really discussed with Jiang Chou at the market price, Jiang Chou didn't have to rely on it, his goal was just to have a place to live a stable life, and I believe that if the old Taoist priest was there, he would not force him to go against the subordinate sect.

But the other party made a move and pressed over with the high status of the subordinate sect, especially the kick that Yang Ke stepped on, even if Jiang Chou was really a weed in the mud, he had to try to see if he could bounce the boulder above his head!

After a day of research, the only anti-annexation method that Jiang Chou has the opportunity to adopt right now is to recruit disciples!

In order to ensure the independence of the affiliated sects, Article 173 of the "Contract" reads:

"When the strength of the subordinate sect reaches the minimum level standard, the obviously unreasonable request of the subordinate sect can be refused, and the subordinate sect cannot implement compulsory measures."

A series of minimum strength standards are listed below.

Jiang Chou now has the purchase contract sent by Zhongtongmen in his hand, with "one thousand taels" written in black and white, compared with the market price, this is an obviously unreasonable demand.

As long as Xiao Qingguan's strength reaches the minimum level standard, he can refuse Zhongtongmen's unreasonable request for annexation!

And for a small Taoist temple like Xiao Qingguan, which has not even reached the level of the Nine Rank Sect, there is only one minimum standard.

The number of sects reached three.

……

"Gurgling ......"

A bowl of gruel, Jiang Chou's thinking is much clearer, the most important thing at the moment is to recruit disciples, as long as the Zhongtongmen recruits two more people into the temple before they come to the door again, the other party will not be able to forcibly buy Xiaoqingguan!

There's a play!

If you can really find two more people to watch, you don't have to move away, and you can save candle paper money......

No, the candle has already burned out......

"Snap"

The chopsticks in his hand fell off the table, Jiang Chou covered his head in a daze, his expression distorted, like a mourning exam.

It was so painful that he forgot for a moment that this little Qingguan was so dilapidated, and it was enough to feed Jiang Chou alone, would anyone really be fooled by him?

……

"Boom"

At dusk, Jiang Chou wielded a hammer and erected a wooden sign with words written on it at the door of Xiaoqingguan.

Confirming that the wooden card was firm and would not be blown down by the wind, Jiang Chou put the hammer back, looked at the words on the wooden card again, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Under normal circumstances, most people don't want to come, so maybe there is a chance ......"

Closing the gate, Jiang Chou put on his back the peachwood sword, turned around and walked down the mountain.

Although he set up a wooden sign to recruit people, Xiaoqingshan was already scarce, so he still had to go down the mountain to try his luck in Qinghe County.

As the sun set, the twilight shone on the young Taoist priest, gilding him with a layer of gold, and the wildflowers at his feet swayed slightly in the breeze, as if they were embarrassed to look at his face.

Behind the young Taoist priest, the dilapidated Taoist temple also showed an unconcealable antiquity in the sunset.

A fallen leaf falls, scratching across the wooden sign.

The wooden sign has three simple words written on it.

"Beckon."

……

"Gu Yu Bird?"

On the main street of Qinghe County, Chu Banshan's face changed, and he hurriedly quickened his pace to follow the white-shirted monk in front of him, and asked in horror: "Dare to ask my lord, what kind of monster is this Gu Won Bird?" ”

The white-shirted monk held a folding fan in his hand, swaying it gently, although his appearance was ordinary, but this dress looked like Bai Yujing's adult, but it also attracted pedestrians and people on both sides of the street to avoid it.

Since the promulgation of the "Sect Affiliation Contract" by the Huang Kingdom, there are a total of seventeen immortal sects with the greatest power, which are uniformly called "five cities on the twelfth floor", but whether it is the five cities on the twelfth floor, or other small sects, they cannot directly interfere in the secular order and hinder the affairs of the imperial court.

However, to deal with the strange events of demons, it is necessary for cultivators to take action.

Therefore, the Huang Kingdom set up an official practitioner department to recruit monks from various sects.

This monk's department, which was independent of the six ministries of the three provinces, was Bai Yujing.

The monks in Baiyujing have the dual status of the imperial court and the sect, and from this point of view, they do have superior capital.

The white-shirted monk's name is Qi Li, although he does not have the top background of the twelve floors and five cities, but the mother sect behind him is enough to walk sideways in Qinghe County, and he himself has a very good strength.

However, Bai Yujing's affairs are busy, and court officials always have a feeling of incompetence when they go to Bai Yujing for help, so Chu Banshan will never regard Bai Yujing as the first choice.

Not to mention finding Bai Yujing's monk, even if the case is closed, Chu Banshan will not be able to reap any benefits.

But Jiang Chou is now a Zunni Bodhisattva, and Chu Banshan can only go to Bai Yujing for help.

"I don't even know about the birds? You've been a catcher for most of your life! ”

When Qi Li heard Chu Banshan's words, the corners of his mouth smiled disdainfully, and he spoke.

Chu Banshan's face was stagnant, he forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, squeezed out a flattering smile and asked, "Please Lord Qi to solve your doubts." ”

"Hey, Lord Ben is in a good mood, so I'll talk to you." Qi Li was very satisfied with Chu Banshan's expression, shook his head and said, "Gu gets the bird to fly at night and hide it during the day, covering ghosts and gods." The feathers of the clothes are for the birds, and the hair is for the women. The bird has no children, and likes to take the son of man to raise him, and think that he is a son. ”

Chu Banshan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Is there still this kind of monster in the world?" Love raising other people's children? ”

That dare is good, in the future, because the girl in the Cuihong Mansion is pregnant, wouldn't he be able to find this monster to take over?

"Heh, it's said to raise other people's children, but those children have to die to raise it!"

Chu Banshan trembled, interrupted his thoughts, and said anxiously: "How can that be?" ”

"Afraid of what? Isn't Ben-sama here? Qi Li sneered, and did not think much of Gu Won Bird in his words, "Don't worry, a little Gu Won Bird, stay at night, Lord Ben will use a little trick, and it will not be captured?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Chu Banshan hurriedly responded.

However, looking at the other party's flirtatious back, he somehow still didn't feel very steady.
