Chapter IV: Bribery
Li Daohan's voice was very soft and soft, which made people feel calm, and the originally noisy crowd regained calm, so quiet that you could almost hear the heartbeat of the people around you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Immortal Chief, all the way around, very hard, today we are here to set up a banquet to congratulate you on your arrival in this county, and please deign to have fun with the people, and drink wine with us. "While everyone was losing their minds, I don't know who said it.
Everyone on the terrace followed the sound one after another, and saw Li Fugui standing there with a pious face, bowing down and holding his fists, and then looking at Li Daohan, he looked at Li Fugui intently, and at the same time smiled kindly.
The eyes of people looking at Li Fugui changed rapidly, there were envy, entanglement, remorse, and anger, and they regretted in their hearts that it was not themselves who said this.
"Thank you, this trip is entrusted by the sect, when I traveled earlier, the master of the sect repeatedly told me not to disturb the place, and the cultivators should be pure and indifferent to the world, so there is no need for a banquet, just bother the local fathers and elders to temporarily borrow a burrow, so that they can rest and assess. Li Daohan clenched his fists and bowed and looked at everyone.
As soon as Li Daohan's voice fell, the scene was calm for a moment, and it broke out instantly, and everyone present desperately waved at Li Daohan and shouted, for fear that he would not be able to hear it.
"Immortal, go to my house"
"Go to my house. My family is big. ”
"Go to my house, my house is not only big, it is all new and spacious. ”
"What's noisy, quiet, quiet, listen to me...... What about Liu Zhutou, what about Wang Zhutou, don't bring anyone to suppress it, don't disturb the immortal chief, it's messy, what kind of system. Jia Zhixian saw that the scene was likely to get out of control, so he maintained it loudly, and when he saw that everyone didn't listen, he urgently ordered the catchers who had been ready to maintain order on the side to suppress it.
"This is the legendary monk, I didn't expect it to be like this......" Li Yuanbao, who was protected by Li Fugui, stared at Li Daohan in the air, looking at the reverence in people's eyes, and couldn't calm down for a long time, and suddenly had a little longing for cultivating immortals.
Under the leadership of Liu and Wang, more than a dozen catchers finally controlled the situation with great effort, and no one shouted loudly, but just looked at Li Daohan with eager eyes.
"Immortal Chief, I have already received a holy decree from the court, asking officials at all levels to fully cooperate with your sect in selecting disciples, and preparing a place for rest and assessment, I have ordered someone to clean up the residence for Immortal Chief in the east of the city. Jia Wenhan saw that the audience was much quieter, and hurriedly spoke.
"Okay, there is Lao Jia Zhi County, folks, don't leave it here, those who are interested in cultivating immortals can come to my residence to find me in three days, Jia Zhi County is willing to take me to my residence?" Li Daohan looked at Jia Wenhan.
"Good, good, willing, willing. Jia Wenhan nodded like pounding garlic, for fear that Li Daohan would not hear it, so he deliberately said it very loudly.
As soon as Jia Wenhan's voice fell, the scene became chaotic again, Li Daohan no longer paid attention to everyone, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jia Wenhan, Jia Wenhan got up from the ground and floated to Li Daohan's side, under the gaze of everyone in shock, disbelief, and envy, the figures of the two gradually disappeared in the east of the city.
"Three days later, in the courtyard of No. 15 Jiazi in the east of the city, at the time of the hour, the assessment of the selection of disciples of Qingfeng Gate began, the age limit was under fifteen years old, and the assessment was only one day, and it did not wait for the expiration. Just when everyone was disappointed, Li Daohan's voice sounded again and spread throughout the city.
"Bao'er, Bao'er......" Li Yuanbao, who was looking at the air in a daze, heard Li Fugui's shout, and quickly retracted his thoughts and replied, "Well, what's wrong with Dad?"
"Let's go, Bao'er" Li Fugui saw that Li Yuanbao was stunned, thinking that he was lost and a little worried, and when he came back to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief and led Li Yuanbao to walk out.
"Dad, are you just leaving? aren't you eating?" Li Yuanbao followed Li Fugui downstairs, and saw that there were only sporadic people eating in the hall full of banquets, and most of them went downstairs and left in a hurry, so he asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, the Lord is here, let's see how they show their powers, hehe. Li Fugui's casual words seemed to be answering Li Yuanbao, and it seemed to be talking to himself.
Li Yuanbao looked at Li Fugui's expression, as if he was not disappointed because he failed to have in-depth contact with Li Daohan, nor was he angry because Li Daohan took Jia Wenhan away, but just looked thoughtful, unlike the usual anxious personality, so he didn't ask more, just followed Li Fugui closely and stopped making a sound.
Li Yuanbao followed Li Fugui to the carriage, but he didn't see Uncle Gui, the coachman was replaced by Li Sheng, a housekeeper, and his suspicions were even heavier.
"Bao'er, let Li Sheng send you home, go back and tell your mother, I'll go back later, don't wait for me for dinner." Li Fugui helped Li Yuanbao into the carriage, touched his head, and said softly, without waiting for Li Yuanbao to answer, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
"Young Master, sit tight. Li Yuanbao looked at the direction where Li Fugui's back disappeared, and fell into confusion, there are too many things that happened today, Li Daohan's appearance shocked Li Yuanbao, and Li Fugui's behavior made Li Yuanbao even more confused, so that he didn't hear what Li Sheng said, but just sighed.
night
The No. 15 courtyard in the east of the city, the courtyard of the two entrances, is not very big, but it is very clean and tidy, Jia Wenhan asked the catcher to temporarily move the surrounding residents away early, and at the same time arranged more than a dozen catcher guards around the courtyard to avoid anyone disturbing Li Daohan's rest.
"This group of foolish people, just a simple show of the sword flying technique, let them bow and worship, damn it, I have to stay in this ghost place for another four days, I really don't know what the masters in the sect think, the cultivation of immortals should be selected from the people with noble blood, and the untouchables are not qualified at all. ”
"This ghost place, poor and remote, lack of spiritual power, is really unlucky, how can you draw lots to such a ghost place. Li Daohan arrived at his residence, sent away Jia Wenhan, who was chattering endlessly, and walked around the hall alone, thinking crankily and irritable.
At this time, Li Daohan did not have the immortal temperament of being immortal in front of people, and he did not eat the fireworks of the world, and he was no different from an ordinary person, and the bitterness of being sent to such a remote place made him irritable, talking to himself, and complaining.
Li Daohan was depressed for a moment, feeling a little tired, so he ran to the backyard, entered the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the couch, and meditated and cultivated.
In the dead of night, in the middle of the night, a figure appeared in front of Li Daohan's residence, the two guards just wanted to stop it, and when they saw the person coming, they all showed a smile on their faces, and they saw the figure approaching the two catchers, took out two packages from their arms and handed them to the two, the two of them did not shirk, they accepted each other, and then whispered two words, and then saw that there was no one around, and then they entered the courtyard next door together.
The figure saw the two catchers leave quickly, learned to bark the dog: "Wangwang", barked twice, and saw a carriage drive out of the alley opposite, and three figures walked down from the car, all covered with black robes, and their entire bodies and faces were covered by black robes, so they couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, someone was still carrying something like a food box in his hand, and went directly into the yard, and the figure drove away in a carriage, if Li Yuanbao was present, he must know that person, because that person was the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.
"Well, who is coming so late?" Li Daohan found that someone had entered the courtyard, and it was not alone, he was slightly unhappy in his heart, and got up and went straight to the front hall, and at the same time, his spiritual power was dispersed, and he regained his noble and ethereal temperament when he first came.
"Who are you, why do you come late at night, pretend to be mysterious, if you can't tell the reason, don't blame me for being unkind. When Li Daohan saw everyone in the courtyard, he was very unhappy in his heart, and his tone was cold.
"Immortal Chief, in Xia Li Fugui, I don't know if you can still remember in Xia?" a fat black-robed man took off his hood to reveal a fat face full of smiles.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Daohan saw Li Fugui, who had a relationship with each other on the Cuizhu Tower, and the unhappy expression on his face eased slightly, but he still asked stiffly.
"Immortal Chief, this is Zhang Hua, who is stationed in Zhenwu Mansion, and Zhang Xianfeng asked me to bring you a letter. Li Fugui didn't dare to hesitate, respectfully took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Daohan.
"Oh, Zhang Hua?" Hearing Zhang Hua's name, Li Daohan was a little surprised, and said in his heart: "Could it be Senior Brother Zhang Hua? I heard that he was sent out by the sect to make offerings in the Song Kingdom, and Senior Brother Zhang is the core disciple of the sect, the disciple of the sect master, and he didn't expect to be arranged in this poor and remote place." Thinking in his heart, he didn't hesitate to act, and with a wave of his hand, the letter in Li Fugui's hand reached Li Daohan's hand.
Li Daohan looked at the content of the letter, the expression on his face immediately became gentle, the letter first reviewed with Li Daohan the feelings of the same family in the sect, and then told that after he was sent to Zhenwu Mansion to make offerings, he got along well with Wei Zhifu, this Li Fugui is the brother-in-law of Wei Zhifu, there is a son at home, he is talented and intelligent, and he hopes that Li Daohan can take care of him when selecting disciples.
"It turned out to be a friend of Senior Brother Zhang, okay, I know, it's okay, you just go back, I have my own plans. Li Daohan smiled, and his attitude changed greatly.
"This, Immortal Chief, look at the first visit, prepare a little courtesy, and ask the Immortal Elder to smile. As if he hadn't heard, Li Fugui took out a beautiful cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.
"No need, en?" Li Daohan didn't even look at it, so he refused loudly, and said in his heart: "These dirt buns, are they sick in the brain, do cultivators need those mundane things of mortals? If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhang's care, I would have blasted you fools out a long time ago." Huh, how could a mortal have this?".
The corner of Li Daohan's eyes swept over, only to find that Li Fugui took out a beautiful storage bag.
Li Daohan lightly transported spiritual power, and regardless of his refusal just now, he took the storage bag into his hand and injected spiritual power, and couldn't help but be taken aback, "There are so many spirit stones, there must be thousands of them, although they are all low-grade spirit stones, but how can a mortal have this." ”
"A small decorative money bag to keep you as a souvenir. I also have some fine wine prepared here, I wonder if the immortal chief can give some thin noodles?" Li Fugui saw Li Daohan take the storage bag away, and hurriedly continued, his eyes full of desire.
Li Fugui said in his heart: "The worship said that this Li Daohan seems to be kind and kind, like a righteous gentleman, in fact, he is greedy and lustful, although he is an inner disciple, but he has broken through hopelessly, and no one in the sect pays attention to it, as long as he gives him this storage bag, Li Daohan will inevitably accept it and obediently." ”
In order to allow Li Yuanbao to enter the Qingfeng Gate this time, Li Fugui has invested enough, which has to talk about the secret between Li Fugui, Wei Ping and Zhang Hua. The sect master of Qingfeng Sect accidentally discovered that there was a hidden spiritual stone vein within the Zhenwu Mansion, so he sent his disciple Zhang Hua to garrison here, and the mining was arranged by Wei Ping and Li Fugui, so the relationship was extremely close.
Because the Song Kingdom is a small country, although the Qingfeng Gate is a guardian sect, it is also a small sect in the cultivation world, and it is not the only sect that exists in the Song Kingdom.
If it weren't for the support of the Dark Night Sect, the Evil Spirit Sect and other sects would have already started a war with the Qingfeng Gate, and the sect master of the Qingfeng Gate would have kept this matter a secret just in case, and sent Zhang Hua here to make offerings, and he didn't dare to send the monks of this sect to mine, for fear of being known by other sects, this is why mortals are needed to do things, and Wei Ping and Li Fugui are the mortals who were selected to be in charge of mining.
Zhang Hua is in charge of this spiritual stone mine, so he naturally wants to fill his own pockets, so that he can practice by himself, and he can hide it from the sect, but he can't hide it from Wei Ping and Li Fugui, so the three of them are tied together, Wei Ping's two children have low qualifications, plus they are the disciples of the elders in the sect who come to the assessment, and the relationship between the two of them is not harmonious, and the Qingfeng Gate with low qualifications is not accepted, so they are not selected.
Because of more contact with the worship of Zhang Hua, Wei Ping and Li Fugui naturally knew the strength of the monk, and at the same time they were afraid of being wiped out in the future, hoping that there would be a monk in the family, so they could leave a way out, so they pinned their hopes on Li Yuanbao, in order to let Li Yuanbao successfully enter the Qingfeng Gate, Li Fugui and Wei Ping begged each other for the worship of Zhang Hua, and promised to worship Zhang Hua in the future, and finally Zhang Hua agreed to help, and now Li Fugui is acting according to the strategy discussed by the three.
If Li Yuanbao is talented and suitable for cultivation, it is okay, if he does not have the qualifications for cultivation, it goes without saying that he will definitely not be selected, but if the spiritual power qualification is slightly poor, according to the instructions of the sect, the Qingfeng Sect disciples who are responsible for the selection can be dealt with as appropriate, so it is very important to have a good relationship with Li Daohan. ”
These thousand spirit stones were taken out by Li Fugui and Wei Ping with great effort to persuade Zhang Hua to be enshrined, and now Li Fugui's heart is beating faster, for fear that Li Daohan's character is different from what Zhang Hua said, if he refuses to accept it, his son will have to resign himself to fate.
