Chapter 19: Maitreya
When Fan Zhuoyuan came to Yangzhou, he already knew about the Maitreya Sect, and everything seemed to be just right.
On the first day of the next month, the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect will come to the palace to force the palace, and there is not much time left for the Maitreya Sect.
In the past few days, he has been secretly following a person, and this person is Liang Tianyi, the leader of the Maitreya Sect at this time.
He is also an unlucky guy, half a year ago, the head of the Maitreya Sect died in an ambush for the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect, the position of the sect leader was vacant for three months, the group of dragons in the sect had no leader, and the elders of the hall were self-defeating.
As a result, a large area of territory in the Jianghuai region, which was originally struggling to be protected, was taken away, and the most devastated thing for the Maitreya Sect was that the main altar of Jinling City was conquered by the Wenxiang Sect.
Not only did a large number of elites die in battle, but there was also a large area that could provide high-quality believers, so they could only retreat to the second line of Yangzhou.
Until last month, many high-level leaders saw the appearance of Maitreya and knew that they could not continue to fight among themselves, and if they wanted to protect themselves, they had to have a sect leader who could nominally control many believers to come out and clean up the situation.
But there was no such prestige in the sect, and after weighing the pros and cons, an honest man with mediocre martial arts and no threat and ability was elected to the stage.
This person is Liang Tianyi, he basically has no real power, and what he does every day is to go to the wharves of river and river transportation in Yangzhou City to see patients for those old and weak workers and dock workers.
He can't cure serious illnesses, but he still has some solutions for some bruises and minor internal medicine diseases, so he is quite loved by low-level believers.
If in the past, he had won the hearts of the believers at the bottom like this, and if he had practiced diligently and steadily improved his martial arts, sooner or later he would have been able to gradually get rid of his puppet identity and grasp power.
But now, time is running out for him.
Fan Zhuoyuan sat nearby and saw Liang Tianyi coming out of a shack by the dock, followed by a woman and two children, kneeling down and kowtowing to him to thank him.
In that shack lived a family of four, all of whom had lost their land and had to come to Yangzhou City to beg for a living.
The husband works as a coolie on the dock, and the wife sews and washes laundry, barely enough to have food and clothing for a day.
However, some time ago, the husband suddenly fell ill due to overwork for several days, and the life of the family of four took a sharp turn for the worse.
This is a very common situation in this era, where the rich have no land and the poor have no place to stand.
Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou, the beauty is extremely beautiful, the prosperity is also extremely prosperous, but it does not belong to the ordinary people, Zhumen wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones, it is the norm.
Liang Tianyi helped the mother and son up and said: "You can't afford to use expensive medicines, the prescriptions I prescribe are all common medicines, which are already very effective, you can go to the small pharmacy in the deep alley of the West Building to grab the medicine, and it can be cheaper."
In addition, there are a lot of fish and shrimp in the river, try to catch some and make soup for the big cow to drink, you can nourish the loss of qi and blood, if it is not easy to fish, you can also go to the suburbs of the city to catch some loaches, field chickens and the like in the field during the day.
Alas...... Recently, the Smelling Fragrance Sect and the White Lotus Sect have been pressing step by step, and that's all I can do, ...... in the future If you don't see me in the future, consider which of these two sects to take refuge in. ”
The woman cried, "The Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect are indeed powerful, but how can they be like Sect Leader Liang for us low-level hard-working people, I am afraid that every month's teaching fee is enough to collect us and we can't live."
If you can, Sect Master Liang must protect himself, in this cannibalistic world, there are not many good people like you. ”
Liang Tianyi smiled bitterly and waved his hand, walked back, and happened to pass by Fan Zhuoyuan.
Fan Zhuoyuan stretched out a bamboo stick and tripped him, although Liang Tianyi's martial arts were mediocre, he was not so conspired by such a small means.
He turned his head dissatisfied, and saw Fan Zhuoyuan with his hair disheveled, his eyes covered with black cloth, his face full of scum, and he looked like he had gone through vicissitudes, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot.
said: "This gentleman, someone is passing by, the bamboo stick should not be stretched casually, if you encounter a bad temper, it will be an old fist." ”
Fan Zhuoyuan said with a smile: "I heard that the Liang Sect Master is kind-hearted, why don't you also treat the blind man?" ”
Liang Tianyi frowned and said, "I see that sir, you have an excellent complexion and are not sick." ”
Fan Zhuoyuan said: "Heart disease can be cured? ”
Liang Tianyi laughed at himself: "Liang can't cure his own heart disease, how can he cure other people's heart disease." ”
"I can cure it!"
Liang Tianyi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had met a madman, and he didn't want to pay attention to it anymore, so he was ready to leave.
However, the bamboo stick in the blind man's hand stretched out again, and Liang Tianyi instinctively dodged, but the bamboo stick was always stuck in the footwork flaw, not only could not dodge, but also had to retreat in order to avoid falling.
After several attempts in succession, Liang Tianyi tried his best, but he couldn't break through the bamboo stick entanglement.
He was sweating profusely and said in surprise: "Why should a master be embarrassed by a person like me. ”
Fan Zhuoyuan stood up, and Liang Tianyi found that the other party was quite tall, with a thick skeleton, and a domineering atmosphere that people couldn't refuse.
Even if Fan Zhuoyuan shrinks his body, he is still much better than ordinary people.
He said: "From today onwards, I will be your bodyguard, and if anyone disagrees with you, I will help you clean up." ”
Liang Tianyi said: "This friend, I can see that your martial arts are several levels higher than mine, but now the crisis facing this sect is not trivial, if you force yourself to get involved, I am afraid that you will be crushed and bones will be gone." ”
Fan Zhuoyuan smiled, "If it weren't for that, how could it be seen that he was blind." Aren't you, the sect leader, a puppet, trying to really take power? ”
Liang Tianyi smiled bitterly: "I am glad to be able to ensure the immortality of my Maitreya Sect, where can I ask for so much."
The four Dharma Protector Elders in the sect, plus those hall masters, which one is not better than me, I was originally a Guardian Altar Messenger, how dare I come to ambition to take power alone. ”
Fan Zhuoyuan sneered, "The Maitreya Sect is about to die, and there is a general altar here, what do you want so many Dharma protectors and hall masters to do, what use can you do except fight for power and profit?"
During this time, you don't have to worry about other things, and do what you want to do every day as usual, just wait for the first day of the next month, when people force the palace to come to the door, everything will be known. ”
Liang Tianyi said suspiciously: "Your Excellency really has the means to save me from the Maitreya Sect?" ”
Fan Zhuoyuan said proudly: "What's so difficult about this. ”
Immediately, he "stared" at Liang Tianyi and said: "Your martial arts are too poor, it's too late to improve your internal strength, practice a set of sword techniques with me at night, and it can also play a little bit of self-protection." ”
Fan Zhuoyuan has been an emperor in the last world for decades, and the entire rivers and lakes are obedient, and a large number of martial arts have naturally been collected in the palace.
Of course, most of them are not eye-catching, but when they are used to cultivate talents, he has not been less extensive, so he will also use a few hands that do not pay attention to sword intent and win purely by virtue of exquisite moves.
Just now he saw that although Liang Tianyi's martial arts were mediocre, his foundation was quite solid, and he was still a talent that could be created.
This person's human nature is acceptable, if he establishes a demon sect by himself, he can be promoted after the test, and he is cultivated first with a heart.
