Chapter 106: The Eighth Day of the Eighth Month
The eighth day of August.
This is a good day for everything, but for Qin Chuan, he is not suitable for moving.
At this time, he was lying on the martial arts arena of the Seven Star Sect, next to him was Yan Ziqing, the deputy sect leader who was also lying on the chaise longue, and between the reclining chairs of the two, melons, fruits and fine wine were placed.
Melons and fruits are seasonal fresh fruits, and fine wine is the spiritual wine that Qin Chuan has in his heart, these things are all sent by Xu Wanyi of Jinling City, who entrusted Fang Yue of the Shadowless Gate.
A month has passed since Jiuli Yuxi, and in a month, a lot has happened.
Except for the abolition of the City Lord's Mansion in Jinling City, nothing too big happened, but it was Blackwater City, where a lot of big things happened this month.
On the fifth day after the end of the Jiuli Yu Rebellion, Heishui City publicly beheaded 3,100 people, including Jiuli Yu and the former city lord's army personnel.
On that day, the vegetable market entrance of Black Book City was killed from morning to night, and people were rolling down, but it was this scene that attracted the residents of Blackwater City to empty all the alleys, and they all came to the vegetable market to watch.
In the face of the bloodshed in front of them, these residents were not only afraid, but many of them asked for their lives to go up and replace the executioner who had cut off his head so softly.
After all, the disaster caused by Jiuli directly reduced the population of Blackwater City by nearly forty percent, and everyone more or less had relatives die in this disaster.
Therefore, for these rebellions, the residents of Blackwater City have a monstrous hatred, eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
And on the sixth day, the rebuilt Blackwater City Demon Slayer Division, under the leadership of all the deputy masters, dispatched one after another, or captured or killed, destroying dozens of dark forces, for a while, everyone in the dark forces of Blackwater City was in danger, for fear that the next one would be their turn.
Of course, there are also some people who are lucky, thinking that the Demon Slayer Division just wants to take this opportunity to reshuffle the dark forces in Blackwater City.
After all, dark forces cannot be truly and completely eliminated, just like the day and night in this world, indispensable.
However, those who were lucky were wrong, the purge of the Demon Slayer Division in Blackwater City against the dark forces lasted for five days, and the number of people was so large that all the prisons in Blackwater City were filled.
When this purge was over, not only did Blackwater City disappear a lot of dark forces, but even the scoundrels on the street couldn't see it.
Of course, not all the dark forces are gone, after the cleansing of Blackwater City, many black-clothed people wearing white tigers suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys, openly recruiting members.
In this regard, the residents were not surprised, and they did not have the usual idea of staying away, but many young and middle-aged people enthusiastically signed up and wanted to join the White Tiger Hall.
Because, when the disaster came, everyone more or less heard about the righteous deeds of the White Tiger Hall, they did not take the opportunity to make trouble, nor did they choose to watch from the sidelines, but before the action of the Demon Slaying Division, under the leadership of the hall master Li Yunxiang, they rebelled against the city.
It is said that after the disaster ended, the White Tiger Hall suffered heavy losses, and none of the members survived, and the survivors were all injured.
Such a dark force will naturally gain the trust and yearning of the residents of the city.
And the Demon Slayer Division of Blackwater City is also grateful for the contribution made by the White Tiger Hall, and did not clean it up, but gave a lot of help, and has a great posture of supporting the White Tiger Hall as the number one dark force in Blackwater City.
In addition, the Demon Slayer Division of Blackwater City also began to beckon a large number of people, and for a while, it attracted countless folk cultivators to actively participate.
And Qin Chuan, as the first hero of the conspiracy to destroy Jiuli, was naturally commended by the imperial court, although it was only verbal, but it brought a lot of benefits.
The most direct embodiment is that the Seven Star Sect, which was originally one of the top ten sects, has always been unknown, and after receiving the commendation, the Seven Star Sect has become a hot topic for a while.
Many cultivation families or folk cultivation forces have more or less developed the idea of sending their own children to the Seven Star Sect, of course, these children are limited to those who are unable to worship the children of the other nine major sects and are not elected.
After all, everyone knows what kind of situation the Seven Star Sect is in now, although it seems to have the posture of making a comeback, but after all, it hasn't gotten up yet.
And Qin Chuan, who was the sect master of the Seven Star Sect, immediately ordered Wang De to spread the news after knowing what these people thought.
The Seven Star Sect has no plans to recruit disciples for the time being.
Of course, for this decision, Wang De and others also raised objections, if the sect wants to develop and grow, the disciples are indispensable, but they are talking about their own sect masters, saying that it is not okay to look at those who are defeated, but they can also be temporarily absorbed, and after a few years, the sect will slowly grow, and it will naturally attract some talented disciples.
In this regard, Qin Chuan used his suzerain rights for the first time, directly rejected the proposal of Wang De and others, and insisted on not beckoning new disciples.
Just kidding, having these twenty or so children is enough to worry about, and I want him to continue to recruit disciples, I'm afraid I don't want him to die young.
Recruiting disciples?
No way! When pigs fly!
Seeing that their sect master was resolute, Wang De and the others had no choice but to give up.
"What do you think Dongfang Yue, it's not appropriate to let a good door master go, but he wants to go to Jinling City to be some kind of deputy master, isn't this pushing himself into the fire pit?"
Qin Chuan was lying on the recliner, eating the fruit sent by Dongfang Yue, while complaining about other people's choices.
During the reconstruction of the Demon Slaying Division in Jinling City, Dongfang Yue was invited by the master Xu Wanyi to lead all the disciples of the Shadowless Sect to join the Demon Slaying Division, which was a very unwise choice in his opinion.
After all, when he entered the Demon Slaying Division, he had more imprisonment and less freedom, how could he be as free as him?
Yan Ziqing took a sip of spiritual wine, rolled her eyes, and said: "The master of the East Gate of the family has justice in his heart and wants to contribute to the court, why did he jump into the fire pit in your mouth, do you think that everyone is like you, like a salted fish all day long, either lying in the martial arts arena or lying in the Tianshu Palace." ”
After Qin Chuan came back from Blackwater City, due to the damage of the meridians, he was temporarily unable to cultivate, of course, there was a dog system, and he didn't need to practice much, at most he just practiced swordsmanship.
However, he was injured, this was indeed a good excuse, and he used this excuse to lie down in the Seven Star Sect for a month, doing nothing, not caring about anything.
Hey, I'm just lying there all day, and if you don't like me, then I'll have to tell you how I was hurt in Blackwater, and how badly I was injured.
"Salted fish? Why am I salted fish, I'm a person with injuries, what can I do if I don't lie down? Qin Chuan retorted to the other party seriously.
"Hehe, is your little injury good, others don't know, don't I know yet?"
Yan Ziqing was disdainful and said: "Previously, Wang De and the others thought that you were reluctant to recruit those who were unsuccessful because you looked down on those people because of your high vision, but in fact, they were worried that after there were too many people, Wang De and the others would not be able to manage them, and then some things would naturally fall on you, the sect master." ”
His mind was exposed, Qin Chuan did not have a trace of embarrassment in his heart, but directly despised it and said, "Hehe, I'm just afraid of trouble, I just want to be a salted fish, but what about you?" ”
"You, the deputy sect master, why didn't you oppose me in the first place? I'm afraid I don't have the same thoughts as me. ”
Facing Qin Chuan's rhetorical question, Yan Ziqing smiled and said no more.
Indeed, she is also afraid of trouble, she is also afraid of too many things, and she does not want to be distracted from managing her disciples.
Yan Ziqing took a sip of spiritual wine, picked up a fresh fruit and took a bite, and after the sweet juice burst in her mouth, she said leisurely: "There is nothing wrong with salted fish, but I am curious, as the master of a sect, the cultivation realm is not even comparable to the disciples, what is it like?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Chuan's expression suddenly froze.
Qin Chuan: "......"
Half a month ago, Chen Xiaoyu finally broke through the foundation building realm, and after these days of cultivation, Chen Xiaoyu, a demon, actually made another breakthrough, and cultivated to the realm of the middle stage of foundation building, completely leaving his own sect master behind.
Moreover, in addition to Chen Xiaoyu, there are also a few children who have also faintly touched the threshold of foundation building, maybe in a few days, they will be able to be in the same realm as him, the sect master.
"This little broken fish, why do you work so hard in cultivation, you don't know how to enjoy it at all!"
Qin Chuan glanced at Chen Xiaoyu, who was cultivating in the martial arts arena, and then assured Yan Ziqing, "Don't worry, tomorrow this sect master will start cultivating, and I guarantee that I will be able to surpass this little broken fish in ten days and half a month." ”
In this regard, Yan Ziqing just listened to it, and didn't pay attention to it at all, because, when Chen Xiaoyu broke through the early stage of foundation building half a month ago, this Qin sect master also said the same.
But the next day, it wasn't just a lounger basking in the sun.
And when you go to ask him why he doesn't cultivate, what does he say to you, the disciple doesn't have to be inferior to the teacher, and the words that the blue is better than the blue make people both funny and helpless.
In short, this Sect Master of the Seven Stars Sect, no matter when, he can find ten thousand reasons not to cultivate.
And now, when he assures again, there must be little credibility.
She estimated that if it didn't rain tomorrow, the other party would still lie here like a salted fish.
"By the way, the trial towers on the other peaks, when are you going to clear the level?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.
Yan Ziqing just wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Wang De, who suddenly appeared.
"Sect Master, there were a few disciples of the Fog Hidden Sect who came to the peak before, and the person at the head said that it was the Sect Master, your old friend, and he came to visit the Seven Star Sect." Wang De arched his hand and said: "Now, several people are waiting in the reception hall. ”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately understood that it should be Gongsun Keming who came.
"Brother Gongsun is here to send money, let's take a look."
