Volume 4: Island Rivalry Chapter 164, Uncle Dehua
When the two monks who were guarding the gate heard the name of Jing Xuan Zhenren, they immediately became very respectful, one of them ran into the mansion to spread the word, and the other bowed down and asked, "I wonder why Jing Xuan Zhen Zhen came to visit the island master this time?"
Without waiting for Jing Xuan Zhenren to reply, the gate in front of the island owner's mansion opened, and the two foundation building monks strode out of the mansion gate, with a surprised expression on their faces, and said loudly to Jing Xuan Zhenren: "Brother Bo Jian, it's really you!
Jing Xuan Zhenren looked light-hearted, nodded slightly and said: "Brother Wei, Brother Tong, you don't have to be polite, I came here this time as a routine, and I will cooperate with a newly promoted Zhuji real person to come to register and visit the island owner!"
Brother Wei's face pale, surnamed Zhuji, turned slightly pale, walked up to Jing Xuanzhen, and whispered: "Brother Bo Jian, the island owner was also forced to let you and my brother be separated for many years because of the things back then, and I don't want you to still linger on ......."
"Mortals and monks are all living beings, and there is no distinction between high and low...... Jing Xuan Zhenren replied with a sad face.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, another monk surnamed Tong came out to the round: "It's all old things, what to do with it! Go and meet the island owner first, finish the business, you and my brother have a few drinks to catch up!"
Jing Xuan Zhenren refused mercilessly: "I'm sorry, I still have important things to do on the island, I can return after helping Zhaoyang Zhenren complete the registration procedures on the island, let's talk about the old things later!"
The monk surnamed Wei grabbed Jing Xuanzhen's hands: "Brother Bo Jian, why do you want to refuse people thousands of miles away? Today, no matter what, you are not allowed to leave, and if you don't drink a few glasses, you just don't recognize us old brothers! Go, hurry up and finish the business!" Without waiting for Jing Xuanzhen to refuse, he pulled him and walked towards the island owner's mansion.
The monk surnamed Tong turned to Yi Xuan and asked, "This must be the Zhaoyang real person that Brother Bo Jian said, right?" Yi Xuan followed him into the island owner's mansion, there are not many buildings in the island lord's mansion on Jinglai Island, and they are all extremely simple, which is slightly inferior to the Shanxi Island owner that Yi Xuan has seen, which makes Yi Xuan secretly surprised.
The four of them came to a large hall with their front and back feet, saying that it was a large hall, but it was just a slightly tall wooden pavilion, and there was a dignified looking monk with high eyes and nose sitting in the empty hall, which was the island owner's uncle Dehua, and the island owner stood a monk on his left and right hands, and the three of them looked condescendingly at the four people who walked into the main hall.
"Island Master, let's see who's coming, Brother Bo Jian!" said the monk surnamed Wei still pulled Jing Xuan Zhenren to Uncle Dehua.
The corners of Uncle Dehua's mouth turned up, and he said: "Bo Jian, it has been July and 23 days since the last time you left, you hid on Kaiping Island and never came to see me, why did you take the initiative to come here today?"
Jing Xuan Zhenren smiled bitterly: "Thank you for the island owner's concern, for so many years, Bo Jian has not been hiding, but has been working Kaiping Island, and also accumulating strength for the western waters of Jinglai Island." Today, I would like to recommend a young talent to the owner of the island!" After speaking, he let go of Yi Xuan, who was still behind him.
"Oh, you can actually get Bo Jian, you are so respected, it must be a person with great skills, but it makes this seat a little curious!" Uncle Dehua's face was slightly moved and returned to its original state.
The person on his left hand was a sword-wearing monk in a tight-fitting samurai suit, and let out a sneer: "Hmph! What a young talent, not a kid who has just built a foundation, and has come here to make a name for himself!"
When the monk surnamed Wei heard this, he immediately refuted: "Zu Liren, what are you talking about, how can the person recommended by Brother Bo Jian be so unbearable? Don't think that you have some attainments in swordsmanship, so you will be empty-eyed. Bo Jian, how many years of life-changing friendship between him and the island owner are you, how can you sow discord like this!"
Uncle Dehua raised his hand to signal the two of them to be calm, and said to Yi Xuan: "You are the Zhaoyang real person recommended by Bo Jian, I heard that you don't plan to participate in this year's island owner election, but are ready to reclaim a new island by yourself, but is there such a thing?"
Yi Xuan raised his hands flat on his chest, bowed down and said: "The owner of the island, Mingjian, but there is such a thing! Before the next one, he had exterminated a group of bandits on an uninhabited desert island, and the island was just between Yunlang Island and Qiulang Island, if it could be developed into a secondary school hub between the two islands, it could not only provide opportunities for passing merchant ships to moor and repair, but also improve the corresponding rescue speed between the two islands, which would definitely benefit the overall development of Jinglai Island for me. ”
The sword monk sneered: "What a sharp-toothed boy! Developing a new island is not as simple as you imagined, you are a kid who has just built a foundation, how can you get so many resources, it is not to rely on the secret support of Kaiping Island, in the final analysis, it is not to lose the strength of Jinglai Island." Not to mention anything else, it's the beast tide, and you can't compete with it alone!"
Yi Xuan heard this person's speech in a strange manner, and immediately replied unceremoniously: "I don't know who Your Excellency is, even if you are on an errand next to the island owner, you should know that you are superior and inferior, and frequently interrupt the island owner to talk to me, which is really unseemly!"
When the sword monk heard this, he was about to be furious, and Uncle Tai Dehua spoke again: "Although what Liren said is not to be heard, there is some truth in it. I think that the sea area of Jinglai Island has only been maintained by more than 30 islands on behalf of the monks, and it is not easy to reclaim a new island! Since you are the person recommended by Bo Jian, why is it difficult for me to grant you the position of the owner of the island in advance, and if you are competent, it is not too late to develop a new island, I don't know what you think?"
Seeing that Yi Xuan was silent, the monk surnamed Wei hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his sleeve: "Zhaoyang Zhenren, the island owner is definitely caring for you, why don't you agree quickly?"
Yi Xuan's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Jing Xuan Zhenren with some hesitation, Jing Xuan Zhenren winked at him when he saw this, Yi Xuan understood, and said loudly: "Thank you for the love of the island owner! But Yi Xuan still wants to work hard with his own strength, and promised the island owner that he will never use a spirit stone on Kaiping Island!"
Uncle Dehua's face was expressionless, and his gaze turned to Jing Xuan Zhenren: "Bo Jian, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Jing Xuan Zhenren's eyes were like torches, and he said calmly: "Island master, I Guan Yi Xuan's son has good thoughts, since he has the heart to contribute to Jinglai, why should we obstruct it?
Uncle Tai Dehua nodded and said: "Bo Jian, I already know what you mean! Yi Xuan, since you insist on going your own way, I will agree to this matter! But there are three chapters of the Offer Law: first, Kaiping Island is not allowed to support you with a stitch, second, if the new island does not bear fruit, it will not give you a chance to be promoted to the island master, and third, you cannot move any mortals to the island until you pass the beast tide safely!"
Yi Xuan bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you to the island master for your success! Yi Xuan kept all these three things in mind and would never offend!"
Uncle Dehua took a long breath: "I'm a little sleepy, you can wait for it to disperse on your own!"
Yi Xuan and Jing Xuan Zhenren were about to return, when the sword monk Zu Liren stepped forward: "Wait......"
