Chapter 223: Envy and Grace (Ask for Subscription, Recommendation!)
"This is the new town hall elder of the main hall, Senior Li Dao, you can wait to see it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Ouyang Xiu took Li Dao to the square and said to hundreds of people.
"I'll wait to see the Town Hall Elder!"
Hundreds of people saluted respectfully, not daring to have the slightest slackness, and their faces were solemn.
Although the elders of this outer gate hall are somewhat disdainful of being assigned in the hearts of some inner disciples or core disciples, but among these outer disciples and miscellaneous servants, they are like heaven, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and Li Dao is their top boss, how can they not be afraid.
What's more, anyone who can serve as the elder of the town hall is basically building a foundation and cultivating, in terms of cultivation, these people will look up to Li Dao, it is difficult to cultivate the avenue in the immortal realm, and how many people can build a foundation.
These outer disciples were just condensing qi cultivation, and in the face of existences that were one order higher than them, they didn't even dare to take a breath of air.
Seeing this, Li Dao nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Listen to Elder Ouyang, my outer gate hall is located in one of the nine halls, and my responsibilities are very heavy, you must abide by the door rules in the future, and remember not to violate the precepts, otherwise I will not be punished!"
After speaking, a powerful momentum came out of him, and a majestic spiritual pressure enveloped all the hundreds of people present, and suddenly everyone was in a cold sweat and full of horror.
"Lord Deacon, this ......."
Ouyang Xiu didn't know why Li Dao was suddenly like this, and asked anxiously, but was interrupted by Li Dao, "It's okay, I'm just giving them some pressure." β
Only then did Ouyang Xiu understand that it was Liwei, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, this deacon seemed to have a lot of means, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to fool.
As soon as the tea time passed, Li Dao retracted his momentum, and everyone in the audience suddenly collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and looked at Li Dao with some fear at this time.
Li Dao saw that the effect had been achieved, so he said softly: "Of course, for the disciples who practice diligently and complete the tasks in full every month, this seat will also give rewards, and will preach to you once in this hall at the end of each year, pointing out your doubts in cultivation. β
As soon as these words came out, the disciples who were originally in the audience with frightened faces suddenly shook their spirits, this is a good thing, Li Dao is building a foundation and cultivating, if he preaches once, it will be more effective than any panacea, if he has an understanding, his cultivation will definitely progress by leaps and bounds.
You must know that this kind of treatment is only available to inner disciples, who can go to the Transmission Hall every month to listen to the teachings of the elders of the sect, while the outer disciples do not have this kind of benefit.
Although Li Dao promised only once a year, everyone was already very satisfied in their hearts.
couldn't help but stand up one after another, with a more respectful look than just now, and said in unison: "We will strictly obey the orders of the elders of the town hall, cultivate diligently, strictly abide by the precepts of the inner sect, and not let the outer gate hall be disgraced. β
Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, he could feel that the expressions of these disciples revealed a sincere and respectful look, rather than the previous look of fear, and couldn't help but look at Li Dao with admiration.
He sighed inwardly.
Li Dao saw that the effect had been achieved, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can disperse, I have nothing to say." β
The hundreds of outer disciples in the field saluted one after another, and then cautiously retreated.
Only in the corner of the square, there were seven men in gray clothes, some old and some young, standing there with some restraint, as if waiting for an interview.
"Elder Ouyang, who are those people, why don't you leave?"
Li Dao pointed at the seven people and asked.
"Lord Deacon, these seven people are the stewards of the six-room and one-courtyard of the miscellaneous servants' office, and now that you are in charge of the main hall, it is natural to ask them to come and get to know you, after all, the six-room and one-courtyard are not trivial, and you must be familiar with these stewards. β
Ouyang Xiu explained.
"Then call them over. β
Li Dao nodded, flicked his sleeves, and motioned for Ouyang Xiu to go, while he walked towards the main hall.
Soon Li Dao sat down on a main seat in the main hall, and the seven people were brought in by Ouyang Xiu, looking at Li Dao with some fear, and knelt down one after another without being ordered, and said in unison: "See Lord Deacon." β
"Well, get up, you are the stewards of the six rooms and one courtyard, introduce yourself one by one. β
Li Dao took the spiritual tea offered by a disciple on duty, took a sip and said lazily, carelessly, a little different from treating the outer disciples just now, and didn't seem to pay much attention to it.
This is actually his means as well, on purpose.
After all, those outer disciples have begun to embark on the path of cultivation, and they can be regarded as fellow disciples, and they can be given a big stick and a red date to make them feel in awe, but they are not treated as slaves.
These miscellaneous servants are different, they are all mortals, and they have not yet cultivated spiritual power, so there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the shelf is to be taken. There is another reason, he was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, followed the two of Mobei out, and saw these miscellaneous servants fighting together, intrigue, knowing that these people are all old oilers, the more polite you are to them, the more cunning they are.
On the contrary, the more you stand up and don't take them seriously, the more they take you seriously and will always be afraid.
"Thank you, Lord Deacon. β
Seeing Li Dao's disdainful face, these handymen became more and more frightened, and they didn't dare to breathe, and slowly stood up.
"Let's get started. β
Li Dao said disdainfully.
"Lord Deacon Qiqi, the younger one is called Zhang Fan, and he is now the manager of the mineral processing room. β
An old man standing at the front said cautiously.
Li Dao glanced at him, and saw that this person had white hair and hair, looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, thin and small, and seemed to be a little weak in his expression, looking at him with a panicked expression.
couldn't help but wonder: "You are so old, why are you still in this sect, since there is no hope of cultivation, why don't you go back to your hometown to enjoy the glory and wealth, isn't it beautiful!"
The old man's face suddenly turned frightened, thinking that Li Dao was going to drive him away, so he couldn't help but be anxious, so he wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while, and his face was red with anxiety.
Ouyang Xiu still couldn't stand it anymore, and explained on the side: "Lord Deacon may not know, this Zhang Fan's parents were originally disciples of this sect, he was born in this sect since he was a child, and I watched him grow up, but unfortunately he has no spiritual root for cultivation. Decades ago, his parents went to complete a task for the sect and unfortunately died, and the sect arranged for him to be a steward in the miscellaneous service department because of his parents' merits. β
"Oh, I see. β
Li Dao nodded with a look of realization, it turned out that this relationship was a second-generation immortal.
Ignoring him, he turned to a fat man next to the old man and asked, "What about you, which room are you in charge of?"
The fat man had the experience of the old man, and he was extremely respectful to Li Dao, bent down and bowed almost his head to the ground, and said: "The villain Zhang Can is now the steward of the spirit kitchen, and the adults can call me Zhang Fatman." β
After speaking, he smiled at Li Dao, trying his best to show his humility.
"You're Steward Zhang!"
Li Dao was a little surprised.
"Could it be that Lord Deacon knows me?"
Steward Zhang said in wonder, he didn't have an impression in his head.
"I didn't ...... I think you have a lot of surnames Zhang, and I'm just curious. β
Li Dao shook his head.
He had heard of this person from Mobei and Songyun, and his heart was not bad, but he was a little soft-eared, and he couldn't help others to say bad things in front of him, and he was unstable.
But in general, Li Dao had a good impression of him, so he didn't say anything, and said directly to the other person: "What about you, which room do you manage?"
The tall and mighty man of life, with a strong body, a face full of flesh, and a bad guy who looked like a good person, saw Li Dao looking at him, so he hurriedly replied: "The little one's name is Zhang Hu, and he is currently the manager of the Supervision Yuan. β
"You're Zhang Hu!"
Li Dao's voice suddenly became cold, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression.
"Lord Deacon, how do you ......?"
Zhang Huzheng was a little puzzled, how could he be the same as Zhang Fatzi before, could it be that this master had heard of him.
was about to ask for an understanding, but was interrupted by Li Dao, and said expressionlessly: "No, I think your name is very imposing, with your appearance, it really deserves its name, it is really a tiger general, and it must be managed well by the Supervision Yuan!"
Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, he obviously felt the uncertainty in Li Dao's expression just now, and he didn't know where he offended the other party, seeing that he didn't mean to pursue it now, he didn't think much about it, until he heard Li Dao's praise, and then he smiled and said: "The Supervision Yuan supervises all miscellaneous servants, and the responsibility is heavy, the small one serves the main hall, and also serves the deacon, so I don't dare to have the slightest neglect, and I don't dare to make any mistakes." I believe that under the leadership of adults, the Supervision Yuan will definitely do better than before. β
"Good, remember what you said today!"
Li Dao laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for him to step aside.
Next, Li Daochao asked the remaining few people to get a general understanding, and then asked these seven people to exit the main hall.
Li Dao was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Ouyang Xiu: "The responsibility of the Supervision Yuan is very great, how is Zhang Hu this person, reliable or not?"
Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled by what Li Dao meant, and said in a deep voice: "This person used to be a miscellaneous servant of the Supervision Yuan, and he was promoted to the manager after more than ten years, and he has always done a good job, and not long ago, the Law Enforcement Hall specially commended him. β
"Law Enforcement Palace, what does this matter to them, the Supervision Yuan is under the jurisdiction of this Palace, when will it be their turn to take charge?"
Li Dao asked suspiciously.
"My lord doesn't know, this supervision institute has always been under the control of the Law Enforcement Hall because of the supervision of miscellaneous disciples, although it is summarized in the door of this hall, but the Law Enforcement Hall has the right to supervise it, which is a bit special. β
Ouyang Xiu explained.
"So that's the case, you all said that this tiger is good, it seems to be really good, hehe, I'll just ask. β
Li Dao looked indifferent.
Immediately, he remembered something and asked Ouyang Xiu: "By the way, what are the names of the two miscellaneous servants who brought me out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes that day, Mo Bei and Song Yun, who are now promoted to outer disciples, and they didn't seem to have seen the two of them in the square before?"
Ouyang Xiu frowned and thought for a while, then remembered these two people, and said: "It shouldn't be so fast, you need to wait for the notice from the Reward and Punishment Palace, it should be in the past two days, what do these two people have to do with adults?"
Li Dao nodded and said, "These two people have helped me a little in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, and I have received their favor, so I can't help but repay them." In this way, after they come to the outer gate hall to report, take proper care of it, and it can be regarded as repaying their cause and effect. β
"So that's the case, then I'll give you orders, and when they come, I'll arrange some good errands for them, what do you think?"
Ouyang Xiu asked.
"Okay, just look at the arrangement. β
Li Dao nodded, immediately got up, and walked towards the outside of the hall, his two spirit beasts were injured, they had returned to the mountain with Ouyang Xiu, and they were temporarily stored in the spirit beast pavilion of the sect at his suggestion, he wanted to go and take a look, and bring them back by the way.
