Chapter 462: A Short Break
The Speculative Conference of the Four Academies?
His subordinate "Black Bull" quickly found out the information and informed Ye Mo. The so-called "four courtyards" are Nanshan Temple, Chengguan Temple, Kushan Temple, and Mercy and Grace Temple. The four institutes in the governance of the sect, the concept of cultivation and teaching, is clear, often in the form of holding a "speculative conference", to discuss and debate with each other, in the Tianyin Temple has not been separated from the Great Wei State, it is already a well-known event, held every seven years, as for the private small debate, it is innumerable.
Speculation, there is no need to use force, taking advantage of this grand event, the four courts each promote their own ideas, and take this opportunity to recruit children, discuss the way to make friends, accompanied by all kinds of treasure appreciation, trading, auction links, Ye Mo quickly understood, this is the same as the nature of the "Shiqian Alliance" that he longed to participate in before, but it was just a different form, from martial arts to cultural fighting.
However, although the format of this year's "Speculative Conference" is the same as in previous years, there are some unexpected situations. Originally, the four academies each sent five debaters to attend the meeting, but I heard that three of the four academies have inexplicably disappeared a debater recently, and I have to say that this is an extremely absurd thing.
The Nanshan Yuan lacks the chief Yuan Jin, the Chengguan Yuan lacks the secondary Dharma industry, and the Ku Lonely Yuan and the last Xi Hongzhi are nowhere to be found, except for the five debaters of the Mercy and Grace Academy. Therefore, all kinds of rumors are flying, the most said is that this grand meeting, the four courts will be based on the results of speculation, the first protector since the opening of the sect, this is also the special place of this grand event, rumors, this has triggered the four courts of open and secret fighting, the disappearance of the debater is mostly related to this.
Protector of the Dharma, in the governance system of the four courtyards of Tianyin Temple, has a transcendent position, originally, this position was held by Yuanying Tongguang, but he fought with the head of the Qing Yu Sect Wan Yu Pavilion before, failed to win with strength, resulting in the cession of a large territory, therefore, the various factions in the door have been quite complaining, this time, taking this opportunity, he decided to step down from this position, handed over to the younger generations who can serve the public.
For a while, public opinion was boiling, and the already crowded Jianming City was even more rubbing shoulders, crowded with people, and I heard that the venue of the "Speculative Conference" was held, and the sect of Tianyin Temple was located in Wuliang City, and all the inns were fully booked, Ye Mo naturally had no chance to see it in person, and he didn't intend to join in the fun.
"We went to visit the residence of Nanzan-in Temple. After hearing that Nanshan Academy was the head of the four courtyards and the faction with the most monks, Ye Mo chose the goal of his group, "Remember, just visiting Nanshan Academy, we said that we met that Jindan Yuanzhen in the Jincheng Sect. ”
"But we don't know what Yuan Zhen looks like. Another cronie, the "gray wolf", said worriedly.
"Is this difficult?" Ye Mo asked rhetorically, "At this moment, you only need to wander around the streets and alleys casually to know what these debaters look like, right?" I can deliberately say it vaguely, after all, if Yuan Zhen is really in the Jincheng faction, it is impossible for him to be a guest. ”
"Yes, but will they be fooled?"
"I don't know if I'm fooled, but there are only two days left before the conference, and Nanshan Academy, which lacks the chief debater, must be in a hurry at the moment. During my visit, you spread the same news around the corners and alleys, and as long as the Jincheng faction is related to this disappearance, along with the rumors, most of the tails of the Jincheng faction who follow us will be jealous and restricted in their movements. Even return to the sect and report the news, then it is the best time for us to act in the South China Sea. ”
"However, we still need some tokens. Ye Mo was not satisfied with the plan he had come up with on the fly, and paced around the room until he suddenly had an idea, "Black Bull, you go to find some itinerary for the Speculative Conference, the most common kind of printing and distribution." ”
It is impossible for Yuan Zhen to have no similar items around him, as for the aura on it, Ye Mo has already thought of it, that is, it is to find a monk from a temple to open the light, as long as it is the breath of a monk of Tianyin Temple, they should be suspicious when they are urgently ill and seek medical treatment at this moment.
It is enough to be suspicious, report it to the top, and cause a storm so that the followers will retreat for some reason. After all, the free time I want to fight for is also very short, three days is enough.
............
Asayama sect, Luo Chuan.
After a little free time, Jiang Feng, who returned to Luochuan, was just in time for the last item of the Ascending Immortal Conference, that is, the newly promoted disciples of ascending immortals, receiving the court training and blessings of the master.
Law Enforcement Elder Wang Xiandao had already prepared everything, but he suddenly felt something, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Jiang Feng had already fallen in the viewing ceremony, he hurriedly bowed down and flew forward, asking Jiang Feng to come out, after all, Jiang Feng was the official head of the Qianshan Sect.
Jiang Feng felt that he had come at the wrong time.
If it was earlier, it would be logical, if it was later, Wang Xiandao, who was well prepared, could also do things well on his behalf, but not sooner or later, but it was a little embarrassing, and he politely told Wang Xiandao to continue the process, but Wang Xiandao was a little concerned, and finally had no choice, Jiang Feng accompanied Wang Xiandao, and called Wei Ruoguang, the elder of the Gong Gong who was already watching the ceremony, and Zheng Luda, the elder of the general affairs, to examine the children of this year's immortals.
This year, there are eight people in the Asakyama Sect, the oldest is eleven years old, and the youngest is seven years old.
The Wang family is a person, named Wang Youzhi, and Wang Yanzhi are the same generation, although they are born in the main lineage, but their mother is the identity of a concubine, looking at the smug color in their eyes, presumably this awakening is also an improvement for his mother's status;
The Zheng family, named Zheng Yibo, formerly known as Zheng Bo, is also considered to be the same generation as Zheng Yiyu, and is originally a disciple of the branch, but Zheng Luda is different from Wang Xiandao, who has always minded the origin of the branch, and directly changed the name of this son, and let him recognize his wife Ma as his godmother, so that he can be with the monks of the Zheng family faster, and the amount and decisiveness of the instrument really surprised Jiang Feng;
In contrast, the elder Zhao Wenjun has no discipline, and directly found an awakened child with the same surname to enter the court, and changed his name to Zhao Liangol, although Wu Xiaolin gave birth to a son, but he is still young at the moment, and he can't talk about awakening at all, although his daughter Zhao Liangdi has been promoted to the Xuan level, but it is difficult to support it alone, and he has made a marriage with Wu Tiande, a child of the Wu family. For this reason, Jiang Feng decided that he must set up a rule in the follow-up, it is okay to include children, but it must not be forced, otherwise, there will soon be a miasma of smoke in the door, and won't it be a mess when the time comes?
The fourth person is from the Huangfu family, called Huangfu Xunde, is the youngest of the eight awakened monks, this son looks the same as the deacon of the military division Huangfu Runsheng, everyone laughs, and feels that this is definitely a family;
The only female cultivator's name is Qiu Long, and among the eight monks brought by Su Jin, the sister of the spiritual-level monk Qiu Ke, she came to the Qianshan Sect with Qiu Ke, fortunately, she awakened this year, so she was also included in the children of the Dengxian Immortals;
Shen Chengjing is the sixth person, from the original family Shen family, unlike others, this son obviously took pills to awaken, it can be seen that after Shen Junmao served as the town guard of Dayi County, his support for the family has increased a lot, although he is already nine years old, but Jiang Feng does not want to be so old from the bottom of his heart, so he hurriedly takes pills to help awaken, and Shen Junmao, who has few monks in the family, also has a sense of crisis;
Jing Jiehe, the grandson of Jing Chucai, a spiritual-level monk of the Changning Chamber of Commerce, was less than two months after he joined the sect, but he suddenly presented a junior monk, and his heart to stand in line was obvious, but Jiang Feng didn't care, this is a good thing, it shows that Jing Chucai really wants to settle down in the shallow mountain sect and spread out his branches;
The only person from Bai Ding, named Mao Kan, from Donghu County, is eight years old, and the law minister is also the best one among everyone, "Mu Ge Liuyun Fan", a middle-to-upper combat law minister.
These eight people, according to their age, will first study in the Mongolian Education Department for three to six months, and then hand them over to Lu Tianming, the deacon of the Gong, to arrange their cultivation and engage in different general affairs according to their respective circumstances. Speaking of which, it is really a good thing to be able to add eight monks in a year, although there is a lot of water, one is awakened by taking pills, and two are actually from foreign sects, but as long as their hearts are shallow mountains, everything is good.
"There's one more thing. Jiang Feng encouraged everyone a few words, and told all the children to start from the basic Taoist scriptures, lay a solid foundation, and don't go to see the flowers, in a hurry, turned around and was about to go home, but heard Wang Xiandao behind him whisper, "This year's Ascending Immortal Conference, there are also treasure giving and treasure offerings. ”
Well?
What kind of new trick is this, Treasure?
I didn't have any preparations in advance, Jiang Feng couldn't help but say secretly, but when he saw a faint hint of triumph on Wang Xiandao's face, he suddenly understood why he wanted to pull himself up before, he gave it himself, and Wang Xiandao gave it to the sect.
Think about it.
However, Jiang Feng didn't have much preparation at hand, give it a first-order magic weapon, for a new immortal, it is indeed heavier, and it is not a good start. After thinking for a moment, he took out two kinds of first-order talismans, the fiery talisman and the water shield talisman, twelve of each, and handed them to the eight disciples of the newly ascended immortals, encouraging them to study hard, and when they became proficient in any of them, they could receive the reward of sixty first-order spirit stones in three times within a year. Turning around, he symbolically handed over the five second-order spirit stones to the general affairs elder Zheng Luda, although the reward was small, but it must be enough to motivate a few people.
"Sir, you're really thrifty. Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, Zheng Luda still complained half-jokingly and half-"sincerely", "I thought you could throw a few third-order pieces." ”
"Reactive power is not punished, and the spirit stone always has to be spent on the blade. ”
Everyone nodded yes, and Lu Tianming, the deacon of the merit, led the eight disciples to present the treasures one by one, the word "treasure" is just a false finger, just imagine what treasures a person who has just ascended to the immortal, so the request is only a "sincere" thing, although the expectations in his heart are very low, but Jiang Feng took one of them, and his heart was still stunned.
This is a fist-sized green head of wild garlic, the most commonly used condiment in the world, but it is rare to grow so big, but I heard the emperor who offered this treasure said: "When I was three years old, I planted this thing, and I looked forward to the day when I awakened to become a monk, and I would dig it out and cause and effect." Now, it has grown to this size, so I dedicate it to the head of the house, as a sign of my perseverance. ”
Heh, this is said so smoothly, it should be taught by Huangfu Runsheng, I don't know how many times you have memorized this kid before it is ripe, Jiang Feng couldn't bear to break it, and happily accepted it, after all, garlic of this size is really rare, and he just turned around and threw it to his apprentice Jiang Zhiwen.
Eight items, different shapes, most of them are ordinary things, and there is even a belly pocket that I wore when I was a child, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly, thinking that the properties of the Asshan Sect are so barren, Jiang Feng has some emotion in his heart, and secretly decides that the cooperation with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce Qiu Nanjia must be reached in order to create more opportunities for the sect in order to make up for the congenital deficiencies of the Asshan Sect.
However, there was still one item that caught Jiang Feng's attention, it was a gray-black ring ruler, three inches wide and more than a foot long, but it seemed to be only half, like a broken magic weapon, but its bound aura had been lost. Mao Kan, who offered this thing, said that this thing was obtained from the sand accumulated in the Baishui River for many years, and he was not afraid of fire, so he dedicated it to the head of the sect to show his tenacity. Jiang Feng didn't care about it originally, after all, a fragment of a magic weapon was not rare. But in his hand, he felt that the spirit of the black snake dormant on his arm was inexplicably restless, so he put it in a storage bag for inspection at leisure.
I hope that next year's treasure offering session will be more formal, and I will prepare better gifts, Jiang Feng has a faint expectation in his heart, but it is not good to show it in public, after all, all the fairy disciples who offer treasures are all scorching, and there is irony in saying it at this moment. Therefore, after a few words of encouragement, he will join the elders and climb the wind and rain tower together.
At the end of the year, the elders, deacons, and town guards summarized the affairs they were responsible for this year, and there were not many major mistakes on the whole.
The large treasury in the sect, a total of 12 pieces of the third order and 46 pieces of the second order, is roughly in line with the expectation, but this year's wind and rain are not adjusted, and all the products of the secular class, as well as the spiritual valley used by the monks, have failed to harvest, so it was temporarily decided to allocate five pieces of the third order, so that the general affairs elder Zheng Lu reached the Sifang sect to buy, mainly mundane materials, and distributed them to various counties and towns.
At the same time, a plan was set for next winter, to hold the second session of the Assayama Sect, although the interval of less than two years is a bit too frequent, but recently recruited a lot of monks from other sects, and there may be qualified juniors among their heirs, it is necessary to create opportunities for them to show their talents, so that they can settle in a suitable position and help the affairs of the sect.
The affairs of Xiling County are progressing very quickly, the Changning Chamber of Commerce has invested a lot, coupled with the operation of Wei Jie, the town guard and Ding Baozhen, the deacon of the Construction Division, everything is going smoothly, and now, the small caravan can already go south through the frozen swamp, plus the New Year is approaching, it is a good time to ship, presumably the business tax, can have a lot of input. However, Jiang Feng found that Ding Baozhen seemed to have something on his mind, so he took advantage of the gap to explain to Wang Xiandao, who was familiar with him, to find out if there was any difficult concern.
Everyone can gather in Luochuan at the end of the year, the real number is not easy, that night, the sect held a dinner, Jiang Feng said on the spot, next year's monk month, starting from June, will be increased by two percent, although he wants to exaggerate Haikou to increase fifty percent, or even double, but Jiang Feng, who knows that next year's income will increase, expenses will also increase, still retains a little rationality. However, seeing that most of the people are grateful, I think that the quota of 20% is enough.
The important thing is to keep growing, which is in line with the expectations in Jiang Feng's heart.
Feasting and drinking, tomorrow afternoon, most of the people will return to their stations, everything is back on track, only a few elders remain in Luochuan, Jiang Feng declined the suggestion of Zheng Luda, who was good at wine, to set up a small banquet again, and returned to the inner mansion of the head alone.
He wanted to take out the half-cut ring ruler obtained from his disciple's offering of treasure to study, but he saw that under the dim moonlight, a bumpy figure was leaning there, fiddling with long hair like water.
"It's so lively, I'm coming back late. Master, did you miss me?"
