Chapter 21 Arrangements for the Years Ahead
The martial arts of the outer disciples of Huashan are also good in the entire rivers and lakes. But in Jiang Bugui's eyes, there was really nothing to see, and in the eyes of Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, it was nothing. Despite this, the three of them have also watched the martial arts competition of all the disciples, but Yue Buqun remembered that in the past, the scene of the Huashan faction's year-end martial arts competition was compared to now, what is it now. I feel very sad in my heart. Ning Zhong also looked down. So after the disciple competition, it was already evening. Yue Buqun said some words of encouragement and pointed out the shortcomings of some disciples' martial arts. I also gave a few disciples who have reached the realm of becoming a teacher, and said that after going down the mountain, they should practice martial arts diligently, clean themselves, and don't fall into the prestige of the Huashan faction. It can be regarded as a graduation certificate issued to these disciples. These disciples will also come down the mountain in the future and venture out or manage the property of Huashan on their own. This was the end of it, and then the crowd dispersed. Yue Buqun and Jiang Bugui walked to the backyard together, greeted Ning Qingyuan, and had a reunion dinner together.
Soon Yue Buqun and Jiang Bugui and Ning Zhong came to Ziyang Xuan. But they didn't see Ning Qingyuan again, although the three of them wondered what Ning Qingyuan would do, but no one dared to look for it. It must be that the identity and status of Ning Qingyuan of the Huashan Sect are the highest now, and no one dares to care about the affairs of the Supreme Elder. So, Yue Buqun went to arrange for his disciples to prepare the dinner party in the evening. Jiang Bugui and Ning Zhong were waiting for Ning Qingyuan in Ziyang Xuan. After waiting for a while, Yue Buqun had already returned to Ziyang Xuan, and the three of them waited for Ning Qingyuan in Ziyang Xuan together. There was half a pillar of incense time, and Ning Qingyuan walked back from outside. But his face was not very good, and he was still holding a food box in his hand. When the three of them saw Ning Qingyuan coming back, they stepped forward to salute. Ning Qingyuan casually said that he was a disciple of Huashan who went to the Jade Girl Peak to worship and died in the battle. Although the three of them saw that Ning Qingyuan was full of alcohol, they didn't dare to ask more. Subsequently, Ning Qingyuan asked about today's year-end competition. Finally, the four of them went to the Huashan ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of Huashan dynasties. Just when the four of them worshiped the ancestors of Huashan, there was an old man with gray hair in the back mountain of Huashan, who also knelt down in the direction of the ancestral hall of Huashan, and he didn't know what he was talking about with tears streaming down his face. Maybe Ning Qingyuan knew, but Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, and Jiang Bugui didn't know.
After worshipping the ancestors, the four of them came to the Zhengqi Hall to have a sumptuous dinner. Of course, Ning Qingyuan and the others also prepared some New Year's gifts for Jiang Bugui. After eating, after the outer disciples cleaned up the table, the four of them sat down in the Zhengqi Hall.
Ning Qingyuan sat on the top and said: "My Huashan is now in ruins, what do you think about the development of my Huashan after the year?" Yue Buqun said: "The disciple is dull, I hope the master will give you advice." Ning Qingyuan said: "No, you are the head of Huashan, if you have any ideas, go and implement them! Master, I don't know how long this old bone can last, but it's a pity that he" Ning Qingyuan said and paused, and then said: "As long as your brothers and sisters are united, it is not too difficult for me to revive Huashan." No, you have to provoke my Huashan Liang, now your junior brother is still young, and he can't help you, this will be your most difficult time, as long as you can hold on, when your junior brother grows up, you will be able to relax. Okay, tell the teacher what you think. Yue Buqun said: "Yes, master, the disciple thinks so. After the year, some of the outer disciples who have become teachers will be selected and added to various industries. Then the junior sister is responsible for teaching the outer disciples to cultivate and deal with the internal affairs of Huashan, as well as the intelligence collection of the Huashan faction, and then I also plan to accept a few talented personal disciples, and the junior brother is still too young to deal with my Huashan's external affairs and punishments, so I will deal with external affairs and punishments while practicing. ”
The general head of the sect will not take care of the specific affairs of the sect, but only concentrate on practicing martial arts and managing the general direction of the sect's development. Like in the original book, it is because no one in Huashan helps Yue Buqun manage the specific affairs of Huashan, and Yue Buqun's martial arts are not top-notch. Coupled with internal and external troubles, it finally came to a dead end. After Yue Buqun finished speaking, he looked at Ning Qingyuan and waited for Ning Qingyuan to speak. Ning Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "No, you must know that everything in the rivers and lakes speaks with strength, and your own cultivation is the most important, I Huashan can give up some interests, but you must quickly improve your own strength." Then, Ning Zhong also said that he also wanted to accept his own disciples, and Ning Qingyuan did not object. Jiang Bugui also proposed that he could manage Huashan's punishment well, which could help Yue Buqun and give Yue Buqun more time to cultivate. In the end, after discussion, Jiang Bugui's proposal was also agreed, but if some disciples made a big mistake, Jiang Bugui could not deal with it, and they could go to Yue Buqun. Moreover, Ning Qingyuan asked Yue Buqun to learn from Jiang Bugui when dealing with external affairs, so that when he grew up, he could handle foreign affairs on his own faster. Finally, some specific arrangements were discussed, such as which outer disciple went to which Huashan industry. When to start accepting new outer disciples and other things. However, it is worth mentioning that Huashan plans to recruit more outer disciples this year. Then the crowd dispersed.
All the sects in the rivers and lakes, the outer disciples are after they become teachers. You can choose to take care of some industries for your teacher, or you can develop your own power. These teachers are not mandatory, they are voluntary. Of course, even the disciples who have developed themselves will be connected to the interests of their own sect. If the master is prosperous, everything can be done outside, and these disciples are also protected by the teacher. Therefore, these self-developed disciples also have to contribute to the sect to pay tribute directly and collect news for the sect. These disciples will be linked to the fate of their teachers throughout their lives. For example: You are an outer disciple of Huashan, and you have marked the mark of Huashan all your life. If you want to join other sects, others will not believe you and think that you are a spy! Therefore, there are generally no outer disciples who betray their masters, and they all want to make their teachers strong. Only then can you get more protection and more benefits.
In general, the external affairs of the sect are actually to strike at some people or forces in the territory that harm the interests of the sect. Or some people who are protected by the sect or dependent forces to protect them. Of course, these protected forces have to give confessions to the big faction. The alliance of the Five Peaks Sword Sect is like an alliance of several large industrial groups. It's not a simple offensive and defensive alliance. For example, if a dart bureau is protected by the Huashan faction and is called to worship Huashan, then the sphere of influence of other sects in Wuyue is also directly protected by these sects. If you have something, you can directly ask any of the Wuyue sects for help. Therefore, Zuo Lengchan wanted to merge with the Wuyue Sword Sect, but in fact, he was more interested in these benefits and the invisible power and wealth of the outer disciples. Otherwise, just like in the original book, if Beiyue Hengshan Sanding died with much strength, what did Zuo Lengchan do when he annexed him?
