Volume 2: Hongchen Makes a Mess Chapter 171: He doesn't pay attention
Under the high stone wall, the sunlight shone obliquely, dragging Xu Yuangao's shadow extremely long, covering Xu Wensong's entire body. Xu Yuangao's big hand caressed the bare stone wall, and the jagged and stiff gravel made him feel painful.
"Wen Song, I'm more than six hundred years old, what kind of person haven't I seen?The sect master of the Lingxi Sect has changed one after another, like Chen Wuyu, it's still the only one——"
Xu Wensong hurriedly said: "Ancestor, what conditions did the old fox put forward to us?"
Xu Yuangao waved his hand and didn't answer, and said to himself: "Two hundred years ago, I was upright and prosperous, and the Xu family was also in the limelight, and the second and third were my left arm and right arm. At that time, the Xia family did not have such a big power, and the sect leader of the Lingxi faction was still Cheng Yiran......"
Seeing Xu Yuangao recalling the past, Xu Wensong had no choice but to shut up and listen patiently.
"Coincidentally, Cheng Yiran and I were born in the same year, he is his Lingxi sect master, and I am my Xu family master, and the well water of the two does not interfere with the river water. With your second grandfather in charge of the business at home, I am also happy and relaxed, but Cheng Yiran's Lingxi faction is different, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, hehe......"
Although the Lingxi faction was secretive about the previous head, Xu Wensong still heard about it a little. I only know that Cheng Yiran, the sect master, is not happy, and he has been squeezed out by Chen Wuyu, an old fox, for only a few decades, and he can be said to be the most sloppy sect master of the Lingxi faction.
Xu Yuangao said: "I have befriended Cheng Yiran, and he is an upright and bold person, but an upright and bold person, being the sect master is precisely the most inappropriate——"
Cheng Yiran is the eldest disciple of Liang Shi, the former sect master of Lingxi, and he is also a generation of amazing talents, of course, he is not a generation of Tianjiao, and he can't be the sect master.
"Cheng Yiran took the position, and he had to do it as a last resort, after all, he was still young, he had just married Dan, and he still lacked experience, but the old man Liang Shi went crazy, saying that he was going to the South China Sea to find an opportunity - he helped Cheng Yiran up, and the catastrophe of the Lingxi faction was buried...... Wen Song, do you know why Cheng Yiran is so unpopular?"
Xu Wensong asked, "Could it be that Cheng Yiran's behavior is too absurd?"
"On the contrary, since he came to power, he has been polite and has not done a single bad thing. ”
"Then why ......"
"Why?"
Xu Yuangao laughed and said: "Isn't it because Liang Shi's old guy's ability is too strong? Those old men don't accept Cheng Yiran at all, the surname Cheng lets them go east and they go west, he has little qualifications, those hall masters at that time are his uncle's generation, who will listen to his orders?"
Xu Yuangao's eyes burned and said: "Wen Song, if one day I am gone, you become the head of the Xu family, and there are uncles and uncles who make things difficult for you, what are you going to do?"
Xu Wensong snorted: "The children, the children will imprison them-"
Xu Yuangao said coldly: "Imprisoned? Hmph, kill with one sword." ”
Xu Wensong was dripping with cold sweat, Xu Yuangao was not worried about Xu Wensong's soft-heartedness, he knew the temperament of this grandson, he did a lot of things that hurt others and benefited himself, he was not a good person, but who would care about good or bad in the cultivation world?
Xu Yuangao sighed: "When your second grandfather died, he designed for me to kill those stubborn old bones in the family one by one, so that I could not be restrained, although it was ruthless, but it turned out that your second grandfather was right......"
Xu Wensong was awe-inspiring in his heart, it turned out that his Xu family had also experienced such bloody cannibalism.
"But Cheng Yiran didn't have such good luck, and no one in the hall masters was convinced, especially the one surnamed Qi, who flipped the table with him several times——"
The soldiers don't know the generals, the generals don't know the soldiers, and soon the Lingxi faction was upside down, causing some big trouble, and almost ruining the sect.
"Later, the four hall masters of the Lingxi faction worked together to oust the one surnamed Cheng, and instead supported Chen Wuyu to ascend to the throne, Cheng Yiran rebelled against the sect in anger and never ......came back."
Xu Wensong said: "What happened later?"
"Later, what happened later, but it's very interesting......
The master of the four halls only thinks that Chen Wuyu is a puppet, Chen Wuyu is good-looking, looks like a good man, and is respectful to everyone. But who would have thought that such a good old man would suddenly attack when the two halls of the battle weapon were handed over to the hall masters, and integrate a group of fellow disciples to kill the four hall masters cleanly.
"The Lingxi party said outside that the four hall masters have traveled overseas, but they can't hide it from us, Chen Wuyu is really a good means——"
washed the high-level of Lingxi with thunderous means, and then immediately put Hong Shenghai and Fan Zhongyu on the throne.
There is a Xuanniao in the Chu domain, which has not sung for three years, and it is amazing. If you don't fly for three years, you soar into the sky.
If you don't move, you will be killed.
After two major purges, the Lingxi faction became Chen Wuyu's Yiyantang.
"Liang Shi and I had a relationship five hundred years ago...... At the beginning, I was not the head of the Xu family, and under the leadership of Liang Shi, the Lingxi faction was also in full swing, and the predecessor was too brilliant, and it would always be the biggest headache for the current one......"
"Wen Song, I have seen a lot of sect masters, there are those who are diligent and diligent in their dedication to the sect, there are those who are regarded as puppets, and of course, there are also those who are not very in charge of things and retire when the time comes, such as the "drunken crane" thousands of years ago......
"But Chen Wuyu is different from them, we people always have to pay attention to rules and decency in doing things, but Chen Wuyu, hehe, he doesn't pay attention to anything - as long as it is beneficial to the Lingxi faction and Chen Wuyu, he dares to do anything. ”
Xu Wensong didn't dare to say anything, after all, Chen Wuyu is now more than four hundred years old, much more restrained than before, Xu Wensong felt that this sect master was still very serious when he was a disciple of Lingxi, and he also developed the habit of drinking tea as a vassal elegance.
The sect master has been doing it for a long time, and he always has to have a little shelf.
The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons as soon as they enter the wind and rain.
Who would have thought that Chen Wuyu, a little snake, could start from a small outer disciple and become a dragon?
"Kid, guess what conditions Chen Wuyu put forward to me?"
"The child doesn't know. ”
Xu Yuangao stretched out four fingers and said coldly: "Sicheng, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will ask for my Xu family's Sicheng trading channel——"
"What!
Xu Wensong was shocked and exclaimed, "Then the old fox is not afraid of supporting himself to death?"
You must know that the Xu family has a large population, and there are hundreds of disciples in the clan just to transport spiritual materials, and forty percent of the trading channels are almost the life of the Xu family.
"Ancestor, what about you...... Promised him?"
"Of course I refuse—"
Xu Yuangao's face twitched slightly, and he still remembered the annoying smile that kept staring at him. Hearing Chen Wuyu's conditions, Xu Yuangao almost didn't jump up.
I was going to say no, but he gave too much-
"For three years, the Lingxi faction only gave me the Xu family's trading authority for three years, and he also gave me the same benefits that I couldn't refuse......"
Chen Wuyu didn't blame the Xu family for chasing and killing Zhao Cheng like Xia Zhengyang, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was all business, and he was even more treacherous than the most shrewd businessman Xu Yuangao had ever seen-
"It's better to be able to put forward conditions than to take your life, and the Lingxi faction only needs my spiritual materials for three years, and after three years, he only needs one thing, which is the grinding stone powder traded by these forty percent channels. ”
"Millstone, what does he want this thing for?"
"Of course it's for this-"
As he spoke, he shook the musket in front of Xu Wensong's eyes, and sighed: "Chen Xiaozi extorted a lot of money from me with his left hand, and with his right hand, he pulled my Xu family into the thief ship of his Lingxi faction——"
Chen Wuyu not only told Xu Yuangao the secret of the musket, but also wooed the Xu family to join the gang, plus the Xia family, and the three families shared the secret of the musket - several families were very happy, only Zhao Yuan, the "inventor", was kept in the dark.
Who let there be no invention patents at this time?
Not only that, the Lingxi faction also promised to make up the annual tribute of 20% for the Xu family, and also sent disciples to help the Xu family transport spiritual materials.
Of course, what Chen Wuyu paid was the mining right of a newly discovered spirit stone vein.
More importantly, there are muskets.
Certainly not the art of musket making.
He promised the Xu family that as long as the spiritual material channel was handed over to the Lingxi faction for use for three years, the musket would be given to each person in the Xu family according to the head.
In Chen Wuyu's words, this is a win-win sale.
Xu Yuangao needs to enhance the family's combat power, Chen Wuyu is suffering from the lack of materials for casting muskets, and the two families take what they need, isn't it happy?
He has seen the power of the musket, a weapon made of mortal iron can actually cause great damage to the foundation building monks, if it is one per person in the cultivation realm, then it will be repaid?
But Xu Yuangao couldn't understand it, if he got something as anti-heaven as a musket, he would definitely not tell anyone, why did he Chen Xiaozi secretly share it with the Xu family and the Xia family?
This old fox acts in a way that does not make sense.
He could imagine that if the three thousand disciples of the Lingxi Sect were all equipped with this musket, who in the entire west of Qi Continent would be able to compete with his Lingxi Sect?
Chen Wuyu blamed the reasons for sharing on what Ji Shi was, and in a few decades, the cultivation realm would be turned upside down, and a catastrophe was coming, so he could only prepare early.
But in Xu Yuangao's opinion, a theory like Ji Shi doesn't know whether it's true or not, and the Nine Treasures of the Dao Palace, which was born once in three thousand years, didn't cause much shock, but the immediate benefits were indeed real, even if Chen Wuyu gave him a poisonous bait, he would have to swallow it.
"Ancestor ......"
Xu Wensong wanted to speak and stopped, and hesitated: "Do you want to ...... Tell the Mo family the secret of this musket?"
Xu Yuangao slapped Xu Wensong on the head and scolded: "Give it to the Mo family? Give it to the Mo family for a fart! What benefits can he give you? The strength of the Mo family, will you care about these broken muskets?"
The Mo family doesn't care!
The magic weapon of the power of the foundation building period may be able to subvert a third-rate family like the Xu family, but if you want to shake a behemoth like a dog like the Mo family, it is wishful thinking.
Xu Wensong was speechless, yes, the Mo family is so strong, even if all the monks in the world have muskets, how can they shake him a penny?
Xu Yuangao said mysteriously: "Moreover, Chen Wuyu said that this newly made musket is not the strongest. It is said that in Wenyang City, Zhao Yuan, this kid, took an even more strange magic weapon and beat Sun Ruzhong to a disgrace. Zhao Guan, this kid must be hiding a big secret, he is a teenager, where did he get the genius idea to make a musket? He must have this strange magic weapon in his hand, maybe this is simply a relic from the ancient Qin Emperor......"
"Think about it, the current musket Mo family is still not eye-catching, when this more powerful thing comes out, let's either hold the Lingxi faction tightly, or notify the Mo family at that time to take the Lingxi faction in one fell swoop, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
