Chapter 45: Rebuilding the New Martial Alliance
Xue Qingyi took Lei Changye into the Shushan Dao Palace at the top of Qilipo. This is a building built by the Shushan faction for the head and the elders, and it is divided into two courtyards. The front yard is the leading hall, which is specially used to open the altar, or to meet the core figures of Shushan and the Taoist friends of various factions in the rivers and lakes.
Because of the large scale of the hall, sometimes it can even hold martial arts conferences.
In the backyard is a retreat built for practice and meditation. The retreat covers an extremely large area, in addition to the head and all the uncles and ancestors, the elders of various sects and the elite children of Shushan can all dive in the retreat.
It can be said that Shushan Dao Palace is the place where the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger in Shushan Mountain, and the Shaolin Luohan Hall and Bodhi Temple are on the same level.
Today's Shushan Dao Palace is silent, and there is no one else, only the head of Shushan is alone in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun in the main hall of the leading hall, meditating and contemplating.
Xue Qingyi led Lei Changye to the door of the main hall, and arched his hand to the back of the head of the house: "Master, someone has brought it." ”
"Hmm. The body of the head of the house was windless and automatic, as if it was equipped with a turntable, and slowly turned around.
Lei Changye has always wanted to learn this trick, it's cool.
"Disciple Lei Changye, visit the head patriarch. Lei Changye knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Lei Changye, you still know that there is a head in Shushan. The head said lightly.
The disciple was terrified. Lei Changye hurriedly crawled to the ground.
"That day, I asked Dong Chou, why did the disciples of Fu Sect go down the mountain to build a town?" the head said slowly, "How do you guess he answered?"
"The disciple is foolish and does not dare to speculate. ”
"Hmph. The head smiled, "He actually told me: After the two tax laws, the land annexation in the world is in full swing." The family of Arida enjoys the rent and tax, drinks and meat as food, is carefree, and the poor family, relying on the wealthy, works all year round, and often suffers from insufficient resources. There are two taxes in Shuzhong, the official takes one, and the private takes ten, and the people of Shu have enough to eat? Fu Zong built a town so that the people of Shu can enjoy peace forever. ”
Lei Changye sweated down: Sect Master, you are cheap! You can borrow it when you open your mouth, and you don't want to think about who you are talking to.
"Dong Chou has been staying in the mountain for almost thirty years, I thought he had cultivated stupidly, but I didn't expect to know the two tax laws. The head sneered.
"Disciple...... Ashamed!" Lei Changye prostrated on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. At this time, you must not lie, nor can you tell the truth, you can only speak vaguely.
"Another day, I asked the red line, why do the Qi Sect disciples wander around Suishan Town all day and don't do their jobs?" Xue Qingyi bowed his head and was silent.
"What do you think Sect Master Xue told me?" asked the head with a smile.
"......" Lei Changye prostrated on the ground, not daring to speak.
She said that the ones who really didn't do their jobs were all the other Shushan disciples. "The head of the family is happy when he says this," Dao Ancestor is above. Look, is this still the sect master of our Shu Mountain?"
"Recently, Zi Xin, a female disciple of the Sword Sect who is cultivating in the Qi Sect, mentioned the rebuilding of the Martial Alliance as soon as she saw me, and she said it all over the place, so I asked her, if the Martial Alliance is rebuilt, where should it be built?
"When built in the town of Shining Gold. Lei Changye realized that it was useless to scold now. The head of the house has already developed a prejudice against himself at this moment, so he can only confront the gong and drum in front of him, and speak freely, hoping that the head can still listen to his heartfelt words.
"You're not a bachelor, you know you can't hide it?" asked the head coldly.
"The master, the disciple acted with great fanfare, and he didn't expect to hide it from anyone. Lei Chang saluted in the night.
"Well, yes, tell me today, how am I going to punish you?" said the boss.
"Boss, the disciple said to Sect Master Dong and Sect Master Xue that the establishment of Shining Gold Town will benefit all the people in Shuzhong, so that the disciples of Shushan can accumulate merit and increase their Taoism without going down the mountain. This move is harmless to Shushan Baili, and I believe that the head of the family is wise and clear, and he has his own opinions. Lei Changye said in a deep voice.
"Of course, there is nothing wrong with accumulating merit. But when it comes to cause and effect, it's hard to distinguish between good and bad. There are a lot of high rollers who spend a lot of money in your club, but there are even more gamblers who are bankrupt, and you may be responsible for the karma they create?" asked the boss sharply.
"The disciple has purchased thousands of hectares of fertile land near Shanjin Town, there is surplus grain in the harvest year, and disaster relief can be provided in the famine year, with Shanjin Town, the disciple is willing to ensure that there is no famine in Shu for a hundred years, can this merit be worthwhile?" Lei Changye did not flinch.
"Okay, even if you can offset the merits, however, you are not greedy enough, and you still want to rebuild the Wumeng in Shanjin Town and introduce the world to Shushan, which will inevitably disturb the bloody wind and rain of the Bashu rivers and lakes. You have contributed to Shuzhong, and it has been in vain. The head said sharply, "We, the children of Shushan, can defend a corner of Shushan, it is already a blessing to invite the heavens, and you want to put your hand into the Central Plains martial arts, it is simply wishful thinking." ”
"Since the Central Plains martial arts are so bloody and bloody, the head of the sect ordered Sect Master Xue to train the Xuan family sisters and brothers to take revenge in Yangzhou, wouldn't it be to send sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
The boss's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Bold, thunder long night, in front of the master, don't be presumptuous!" Xue Qingyi shouted angrily.
"Master, is there something wrong with what the disciple said?" Lei Changye was not moved, but bowed his head and arched his hand.
The head of the "......" was silent in thought.
"The disciples have contact with the characters in the rivers and lakes from time to time, and they know that the forty-eight towns are surging, and the thunder in the world is coming. The head is good at calculating, these days, watching the sky at night, should be checked. Shushan may be able to be alone, but pity me and the world, how much trouble?" said Lei Changye in a deep voice.
The head stood up suddenly, the sleeves of his robe swinging, fluttering like a cloud.
Xue Qingyi was shocked and hurriedly leaned down to bow. The head of the house was furious, and the sky and the earth changed.
"Hmph, you are a man who must be compared, and you are a reluctant and cowardly person, you actually say how many words of pity for my world, how many sorrows, how ridiculous, who said this?" asked the head coldly.
"......" Lei Changye wanted to say that this was the teaching song of Mingjiao, but no one would believe the truth.
"Master Ancestor, this is a friend that the disciple met on the rivers and lakes, shaking all directions, the purple-faced Kunlun Xia Yongqiang Yonghaichuan said!"
Yongqiang's vitality is really tenacious.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Xue Qingyi and the head of the house spoke at the same time.
"Have mercy on my world, there are so many sorrows, a good sentence of a heroic and chivalrous man. Xue Qingyi said in a trembling voice.
"So, if you want to establish a martial arts alliance in Shining Gold Town, it was also proposed by this purple-faced Kunlun hero?" asked the head coldly.
Obviously, Yongqiang's deeds of saving the tenants have reached the ears of the head through Xue Qingyi. Perhaps, Fan Changgui's story also let him know.
"......" Lei Changye closed his eyes, fell to the ground with a snap, and said helplessly, "Yes......"
"What is the use of the Wumeng branch altar built in Shining Gold Town. There is no alliance leader, no elders, no funds, no manpower, and no alliance, but how can the Tang Dynasty survive in the rain in all directions. The head of the house sighed.
"Qi Yu is in charge, Yongqiang Yongxia has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and knows countless chivalrous people who are loyal and brave, and want to ask for their lives for the common people, help the poor and help the poor, and eliminate the demons. However, these chivalrous warriors, without organization, team, funds to inquire about intelligence, and no equipment to arm themselves, finally fell in obscurity in the midst of the evil eradication in the rivers and lakes, how desolate. ”
Xue Qingyi and the head of the sect suddenly fell into deep thought. Lei Changye sighed in his heart. It's useless to say it yourself. As soon as Yongqiang opened his mouth, did he hit the soul like this?
"Master, I think of the more than fifty ash cans at the end of last year, and I deeply agree with Yong Daxia's words. Lei Changye said, "I think that if we can use the financial resources of Shining Gold Town to fund the Wumeng, release the hanging red to the heroes who are interested in eliminating the demons, supplemented by equipment and funds, and provide timely information, then the tragedy in Shushan last year will not happen again." ”
"Are you really willing to make such a big sacrifice and use the financial resources of Shining Gold Town to fund the Martial Alliance?" asked the head in disbelief.
"Boss, although the disciple must be compared, but he loves Shushan and all the brothers and sisters, and now that the disciple is rich, of course he hopes that the brothers and sisters can be safe and secure for a long time. If money can buy their peace, the disciples are willing to give everything they have. Lei Changye finally found an opportunity to show himself.
"Master Qiqi, although Master Lei loves money a little, he also has a heart to help the world, and he cares for his brothers and sisters. Even he is willing to contribute to the salvation of the common people, which shows that the establishment of the Shushan faction by the master is a great merit. Xue Qingyi said in a deep voice.
The head was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "In this way, let me bear this cause and effect." ”
This sentence made Xue Qingyi and Lei Changye hold their breath at the same time.
The head suddenly dusted off his sleeves: "Lei Changye, listen to the order." ”
"The disciple is here!" Lei Changye hurriedly said.
"I'll let you rebuild the Martial Alliance in Shining Gold Town. Since you are willing to provide financial resources, let us first appoint you as the master of the altar. I will pass on the book with Fu He, and pass on my decision to the eight factions. From today onwards, the Wumeng will be rebuilt in Shushan!" the head said solemnly.
"The move of the head master and ancestor is the world, the merit is immeasurable, and the wisdom is martial!" Lei Changye prostrate on the ground and said loudly.
"Hmph, a prodigal junior, still has such a mind, although I, Lu Yan, am obsessed with cultivation, but I am not a person without courage. Lei Changye, do you know that the number of days is set, as soon as the Wumeng opens, the wind and rain in all directions, once it comes, I am in danger, and you, as the person who restarted the Wumeng, will have a bloody disaster. The head said coldly.
"The disciple has been prepared for a long time. "Lei Changye's face does not change.
"Okay, worthy of being my Shushan disciple!" Xue Qingyi shouted excitedly. The head squinted at her, and she quickly lowered her head and frowned.
"Let's all go down, I want to be quiet. After saying this, the head sat down cross-legged, his body was windless, and he turned back again, facing the statue of Taishang Laojun and began to ponder.
Lei Changye didn't understand why he didn't turn around and sit down cross-legged again?
At this moment, Xue Qingyi gently patted him on the shoulder. He hurriedly got up, saluted the back of the head again, and turned around and walked out of the leading hall.
Out of the Shushan Dao Palace, Xue Qingyi and Lei Changye ran down the ridge along the Qili Slope. Xue Qingyi's face was bright, smiling, and proud, as if he had some great joy.
She was already beautiful, but now she is even more beautiful. Lei Changye walked all the way and looked at it all the way, and he almost fell into the ditch. He was secretly uneasy in his heart, feeling that if Yongqiang didn't do it again, something would really happen.
"Senior nephew Lei, are you spying on me?" Xue Qingyi's voice suddenly sounded.
"Don't dare, Sect Master, why are you so happy?" asked Lei Changye puzzled.
"Haha, the head of the sect reopened the Wumeng today, you mountain birds, finally have a chance to flutter your wings in the sky, I am happy for you. Xue Qingyi looked up to the sky and laughed.
Are you really talking about us? Lei Changye squinted at her and shook his head again and again.
PS: Tomorrow's last wave of four more will hit the list, and the new book period is just around the corner. Happy times are always so short-lived. I hope that in the long night of the recommendation, I will be able to have a good time with all of you.
