Chapter 244: Shi Jizi's proposal
Since Li Zhen knew about this, he naturally wouldn't let them succeed easily.
After returning, he found Shang Yuxian and informed the people of the Nine Spirit Gate that they wanted to land on the island.
Shang Yuxian was extremely surprised when he heard this.
It is not only because of the actions of the people of Jiulingmen, but also because of Li Zhen's ability.
"You've got eyeliner for this! They just finished discussing it, and you already know it?"
Li Zhen said vaguely: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, I naturally want to know something about them......"
After saying this, Shang Yuxian didn't bother to pursue it, but said: "I will report to my ancestor, and when the time comes, her old man will come forward and ask the Chamber of Commerce for a ban." ”
Li said: "Will money be able to effectively enforce this ban?"
Shang Yuxian said: "As long as this kind of trick is thought of in advance, it will naturally not work, and Qizhen Building will not clearly break the rules, rest assured." ”
Li Zhen nodded, he still believed this sentence.
Without explaining it in advance, it was called a drill camp, and you could still pinch your nose and recognize it.
But if it is explained in advance, it is a bad rule if you knowingly violate it.
The balance between this can be grasped by those involved.
Shang Yuxian quickly reported this matter to Elder Shang, and Elder Shang was equally amazed when he learned about it.
"This Li Zhen is really good!"
Shang Yuxian said: "Ancestor, we'd better move faster, otherwise we'll be afraid of complications." ”
Elder Shang bowed his head and smiled.
This kind of thing, she is duty-bound, and immediately applied to the Chamber of Commerce for a ban order to fill this loophole first.
Shi Jizi and the others knew about it, and they suddenly felt embarrassed and anxious.
My boat is gone, you come and tell me this?
Do you really think that the spirit stone doesn't cost money, and it doesn't cost to build the mountain gate?
"Who leaked the news?"
Shi Jizi spent a whole night not thinking it out, his eyes were bare, and he glanced at everyone in the hall in annoyance.
The disciples of the Nine Spirit Sect were silent, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Han Kang said: "Master, please calm your anger, this kind of thing is not unexpected, maybe Master Li himself has come to his senses, so he will find the Chamber of Commerce to plug the loophole." ”
Ji Feng also said: "It should be a coincidence." ”
Shi Jizi said: "Is it a coincidence? I always feel that it is not that simple!"
It's an indescribable intuition, and while their tactics aren't so clever, it's not so easy to pinch and interrupt the action.
But hearing the words of the disciples, Shi Jizi could only acquiesce.
This is a coincidence.
The disciples who followed him here are all elite descendants of the Eight Great Families, and there must be no inner ghosts!
......
The race to land on the island was stillborn.
But Shi Jizi couldn't give up so easily, and the dispute between the Jixiang Sect and the Nine Spirit Sect was still ongoing.
At this time, the weakness of Li Zhen's side was revealed.
Most of the people in the market know the master of Jiulingmen Stone, but they don't know him Li Zhen of the Jixiang Sect.
Because it was convenient to purchase pills, or other benefits, they naturally had to speak for Master Shi.
Even if there is no benefit, Master Shi is a person with a familiar name.
Li Zhen?
Haven't heard much of it.
His reputation in recent years is only limited to the area of Qingchuan Fang, as well as the Beihai Branch, even if those Fang markets have sold his Xinling incense, grass incense and other things, they will not pay too much attention to the people behind them refining them.
As for the disciples, it is needless to mention, there are still three or two cats and cats in the Jixiang Sect, including the white lions and leopards raised at home, which are not as large as the population of a family in Jiulingmen.
Compared with the momentum and public opinion, it really can't be compared.
"Li Daoyou, the current situation seems to be a little bad, there are many discussions in the market, saying that you are relying on your backer to act recklessly, and you want to snatch this island from the hands of Jiulingmen!
Although Lingdao is in our hands, we will not be coerced by public opinion and easily promised, but if the reputation is not good, it will inevitably be detrimental to the development of your sect and incense in the future......
We all know that this is probably a ghost made by the Visionio, but there is really no evidence, and there is no way to break it. ”
Another day, on Yuesha Island, in the mansion.
Shang Yuxian came to the door again and exchanged news with Li Zhen that he had heard recently, which mentioned rumors circulating in the market and rumors about Li Zhen.
Jiulingmen wanted to forcibly land on the island, but failed, changed its strategy, and wanted to exert force from the reckless rivers and lakes.
This is not a simple smear or blockage, but a dispute of public opinion.
"Boring move!" Li Zhen snorted coldly.
There is no future for this kind of practice in the immortal cultivation world, can it be that a low-level monk can still spray a high-level monk to death with saliva?
But then again, the biggest problem now is that he is not a real high-level cultivator yet.
Being in the rivers and lakes, you have to consider the impact of these.
Shang Yuxian naturally understood this truth, and said: "These actions can't be said to be boring, just like the so-called public mouth, the wishes of all parties still have to be taken into account......
But you don't have to worry, our money will not make you passive all the time, and now we have also mobilized some people to reverse public opinion and expand your influence.
There is another thing, and that is that the incense shop mentioned in the past has expanded!
In one go, we have added three new workshops in the vicinity of Beixiao Island, and at the same time supply hundreds of bazaars and more than 300 small ordinary countries......
Although it is impossible to surpass Master Shi's accumulation of hundreds of years in a short period of time, it can also somewhat reverse the impression of some scattered cultivators.
But it is not a solution to drag on like this, and the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce still hopes that this matter can be properly resolved as soon as possible. ”
Li Zhen said: "How can this be solved? You can't fight to win or lose, right?"
Shang Yuxian said: "Don't really say it, there are many old cases in the world of cultivating immortals to win in gambling battles, as long as both parties agree, they can put out the ring, and decide major events by gambling fights, and the winning side naturally has the right to preferential treatment." ”
Li Zhen sneered: "That's a practice of having nothing to rely on, really talking about decisive victory, time, momentum, strength, and life are all used, how can you pin the major affairs of the sect on such a thing?"
Shang Yuxian said: "But in reality, it is really true that the future of the sect and the future of the sect is maintained on one person, and the sect in this world may rise because of one person, or it may be destroyed by one person!"
Li Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Shang Yuxian said: "You have to be careful, now there are people in the Treasure Building who are already advocating it, trying to decide the ownership of Jiuwan Island through this kind of gambling and decisive victory!"
They expect that you will not be able to match Master Shi in the short years of your promotion, so they want to use this to make you retreat.
But what this will value is not your cultivation strength, but the ability to refine incense and spread incense recipes, as long as you establish this Taoist system, it will benefit thousands of generations, and the merits are immeasurable, how can you evaluate the success or failure of a momentary victory?
So, don't worry, we'll help you say no, no matter what, you can't say yes. ”
"Master Shi, he ...... Want to win a bet?"
Li Zhen didn't listen carefully to Shang Yuxian's words, but just whispered to himself.
......
Fast by, three months later.
More and more people in the market learned about the rivalry between the Jixiang Sect and the Nine Spirit Sect, as well as the existence of the two side masters.
I have to admit that this kind of gossip happens to be a great opportunity for the two of them to become famous, and for a while, the sales of the incense products consigned by Li Zhen in the Treasure Building have soared, and he really took the opportunity to make a little more money.
It is conceivable that as such a controversial topic continues, it will attract more attention.
Jiulingmen is also at the threshold of establishing a sect and starting a business, and of course he does not want to miss such an opportunity, so Haosheng held an auction related to the elixir and made a lot of money.
But they know better that it is not good for them to keep dragging it out.
Three years and five years, there is nothing, thirty or fifty years, seventy or eighty years, but it is really all over.
Li Ji can afford to wait, but Shi Jizi can't afford to wait.
It was a waste of his life.
After all, they finally made another legal argument and led to a private consultation.
"I don't think it's a way to drag it out like this, so it's better to decide the ownership of the blessed land here through a gambling battle, as the popular proposal has been raised. ”
"Hmph, what kind of rumors are there in the market, it's obviously the public opinion you are advocating! Besides, one of the two sides is the Dandao force and the other is the Xiangdao sect, what are you fighting?"
"You can't say that, this immortal cultivation world is still respected by the strong after all, and Dan Dao and Xiang Dao should also have Dharma protection means......"
"That can't be so shameless, how many years has Master Li built the foundation, and how many years has Master Shi built the foundation, isn't this bullying?"
This time, the deacon of Qizhen Building really proposed a way to win the battle.
The elders of the Chamber of Commerce strongly refuted it and did not accept it.
Although it is almost irrefutable that the strong are respected, the trend of strength and weakness is changeable, and it is more common to balance.
Moreover, it is a balance of dynamic transformations.
The strong today may not be the weak of other days, and the weak of today may not be the weak of other days.
There is also this weakness, and there is a strong place elsewhere......
None of this can be generalized.
Li Zhen's new promotion, although he is in the position of a weakling, but who dares to conclude that he cannot have greater achievements in the future?
And there is a real veteran powerhouse behind Li Zhen, and she is really a backer, should she be respected?
But most of these truths depend on which one is beneficial to oneself.
If it is beneficial, it will be taken out to talk about things.
Obviously, now the people of Jiulingmen believe that it has been less than ten years since Li Zhen was promoted to build the foundation, and he is not able to fight against a veteran monk like Master Shi.
With only so many years of accumulation, it is impossible for him to lose in the hands of Li Zhen, a new monk.
Therefore, such an offer is beneficial to their side.
When the two sides were arguing, the real people involved, Li Zhen and Shi Jizi, both wisely chose to remain silent.
At such times, of course, they will not take a position lightly.
Everything those people below say is a quarrel, and what they say is the decision.
"Husband, there are rumors that the one who really comes is not good. ”
Mu Qingsi was a little worried, and couldn't help but spread her voice in private.
"Such conditions are very unfavorable to us, although you have a lot of hidden strength, but it is not very suitable for showing in a head-to-head confrontation, if you agree, you will suffer a lot. ”
Li Zhen said: "I'm afraid that we can't help it, whether we agree or not, it is difficult to change the value concept of respecting the strong in the immortal cultivation world, what they said is actually reasonable." ”
Mu Qingsi said: "But ......"
Li Zhen said: "I even considered whether to let Zixu's seniors come out for a walk, and remind those people again that there is someone behind me."
This is the real strong for respect!
However, the identity of Zixu Zhenren involves some great monks in Xuanzhou, who appear frequently, and they are all running for my business, which is too suspicious.
Moreover, Zixu Zhenren can suppress Master Shi and the monk behind him for a while, but he can't suppress it for a lifetime, and in the future, the Jixiang Sect will also have a foothold on the sea, and it is impossible for the two disciples to find him out of trouble in three days!"
This risk cannot be taken lightly, and there is no need to take it.
If you can successfully deter the backer behind the other party, then it's okay to say, but if you expose your biggest secret because of this, it will really outweigh the losses.
At this moment, Master Shi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Li Daoyou and I are both masters of side skills, real Taiping monks, not the kind of strong masters who rely on supernatural powers. ”
When the people in the Chamber of Commerce heard this, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly wondered.
Didn't the matter of gambling and fighting come up with it by Jiulingmen itself, why did he oppose it?
"But—"
Suddenly, the people who were still in a strange state heard the twist.
"But?"
"But--the sect is established, after all, it still has to rely on strength to speak!" Shi Jizi looked around, his eyes fell on Li Zhen's face, and he saw the dagger, "If we want to compare, we will be better than worshipping under the door and the Dharma Protector Elder!"
"But all the disciples, disciples, and dead soldiers who have internal and external help, offerings, and willing to serve, as long as they are involved in cause and effect and belong to their own side, they can fight!"
"This is where the true essence of a sect lies, and it is also more fair and authentic. ”
When Li Zhen heard this, he frowned secretly, this is better than a single-handed battle between the leaders of the two parties!
Where do you go to find something to worship and protect the Dharma?
But he also had to admit that the other party had a point.
This world will not tell you so much about fairness and authenticity, those pirates, monsters, monsters and the like who may destroy the sect and plunder wealth, and it will not matter how many years you have developed, whether you should be in a fair and just situation to compete.
These were all challenges that the Nine Spirit Sect and the Jixiang Sect had to face.
In this way, it is also somewhat convincing.
Shi Jizi continued: "There are nine islands on Jiuwan Island, and we will set up three games in each of the upper, middle and lower classes, each refining qi, and fighting with people with different foundations, and those who win more will take all!"
Hearing this, Li Zhen sighed deeply.
He didn't blame the other party for being cunning, he only blamed himself for his lack of preparation, starting a business too early, and eyeing such a high-quality, geographically suitable Lingdao blessed land.
Li Ji didn't say anything, just glanced at Shi Jizi deeply, got up and said: "That's fine, just gamble and fight, but there are so many games, it's too cumbersome, it's better for me and Master Shi, or any one of your subordinates inside and outside, to decide the winner or loser!"
"I don't know what you think?"
