I also want to know whether the most well-informed is the city lord, or the family in the city, or a certain chaebol, or even the Jianghu sect?
As long as you know who it is, isn't there a free guide? '
When the guide comes, the work will be much smoother, the travel will be much smoother, and I will know where to find delicious food and fun.
And Zhang Feng guessed right.
Like this kind of inn outside the city, it is also a place where various forces arrange chess pieces secretly.
Guaranteed that the moment a famous person or important person comes over, the forces behind the secret sentry will know the news, and then prepare to receive them, or intercept and kill them outside the city if they have a grudge.
But now, when the little girl heard the news of the prince's arrival, she felt as if she had seen a famous person. An excited letter was sent to the east with a secret order from Feijian.
Not long after, it was seventeen miles away from Wucheng, inside a sect in the mountains.
Among them, the top of the main peak of Baizhang near the center, the Sovereign Hall.
Wearing Taoist robes and reaching the pinnacle of transcending tribulations, the head of the Vientiane Sect also had some doubts when he saw the disciples of the Secret Order Hall holding secret letters.
All because the letter is blessed by a secret method, which means that it is urgent and top secret, and only the suzerain can open it.
"Could it be that a famous person or a certain city lord has come?" Sect Master Wan thought to himself, suppressing the surprise in his heart first, took the letter, waved away the disciples, and then broke the secret method of the letter.
There is only one line of writing on it.
'My lord and Eunuch Sun have arrived in Wucheng! '
'My lord? ! After reading the secret letter, Wan Zongzhu was shocked.
In the next moment, he thought for a moment, came back to his senses, and destroyed the letter immediately.
Afterwards, he walked around the empty hall for a few times, and then sent a voice transmission to the hall on the left side of the mountain peak: "Elder Elder, I have a discussion with you about the rise and fall of our sect!" '
'what's the matter? ! '
The moment the words fell.
An old figure appeared in the main hall, it was the Great Elder of Wanxiang Sect, a monk who had overcome tribulations!
"The prince is here." The suzerain did not hide the matter at all, but he also cautiously transmitted the voice: "I am going to welcome you with a heavy gift, what do you think of the elder?" '
'How many people know about the prince's arrival? ’ The great elder asked back, ‘Will the prince receive me and other little monks? '
"Oh." The suzerain breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but said helplessly: "Grand elder, in the eyes of the people of Wucheng and the people of the world, you and I are always the old sect of Jin.
Five years ago, the sect was found to be a cult by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which undoubtedly made things worse and was not welcomed by the Daqi court.
There are fewer and fewer incense places in my sect
To ease the matter.
One month ago, the Holy Majesty was about to have a birthday banquet, and City Lord Wu would also enter the imperial capital for two days to report to the Fourth Department of Officials, Rites and Households.
The disciples who were working in the city at that time heard the news and sent someone back to the sect to report the matter.
After I learned about it, I immediately went to the treasury of the sect and took the treasure with me. On the way, I begged to see the city lord of Wucheng, hoping that the city lord could introduce important officials in the court and ask for a seat as a birthday banquet guest minister.
When City Lord Wu saw me coming, he also reluctantly agreed to let me enter the imperial capital with him.
But on the way, City Lord Wu also told me that the matter was remote.
Things went as he expected.
After I arrived in the imperial capital, all the chief ministers of Moti's six ministries, and even the ministers of the various ministries, all closed their doors to the sect.
Many families and famous officials in the imperial capital are even more like avoiding snakes and scorpions to this sect.
The separation between the imperial court and our sect'
Sect Master Wan took a long breath, "It's hard to cross the catastrophe and ascend to the sky."
Only the prince will give my sect a chance of life'
The elder of the 'Suzerain' heard this, and he also felt very sad, "Some time ago, the Suzerain suddenly left the sect with a lot of treasures, saying that there were some things in the northern border.I thought the suzerain was going to be a guest at Mr. Li's house.
Head Li and the suzerain have been friends for a hundred years, I didn't think too much about it, and I didn't expect the suzerain to go to the imperial capital."
'What are you talking about? The suzerain laughed and shook his head, "Isn't there enough embarrassment?"
Just think about it, the majestic master of the Vientiane Sect came to Beijing with a heavy treasure, but was shut up by all the powers of the imperial capital, and came back disheartened after a big rejection.
If it gets out, our Wanxiang Sect will become the laughing stock of the world.
You and I are already old, so we can turn a blind eye to such rumors and treat them with a smile.
But how do you let the young disciples in the sect who are wandering outside, you and my juniors, raise their heads in front of outsiders? '
Chapter 334 The Vientiane Sect Who Fights Out (Two in One)
'Oh, the rumors are disturbing'
After hearing what the suzerain said, the great elder immediately felt sad, "Maybe the two of us and some elders in the sect can ignore these rumors."
But some disciples who have just started, and disciples who are dedicated to the sect, if they hear these rumors outside, they will inevitably do something, and then give some excuses to outsiders.
'That's exactly what I'm worried about. The suzerain looked towards the direction of the inn, "The only opportunity to dispel the rumors now is the prince.
The prince's reputation is spread all over the world, and as the junior fellow of the Holy Master, he holds the real power.
If the lord intercedes for my Wanxiang sect, my Wanxiang sect will surely be included in the Daqi court.
The incense territory is no longer swallowed up by other families, sects and other forces. '
When the suzerain said this, he smiled, "A few days ago, I worked hard and lost face. All I wanted to do was to protect the only incense and land of my sect. '
'I can understand the suzerain's painstaking efforts'
The elder closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and understood why the suzerain took the risk to meet the prince.
Because looking at the more than [-] years since the Great Jin destroyed the country.
The incense land of Wanxiang Sect in Qihe County has changed from one hundred villages in one county to forty villages in one county now.
This is also the "incense case" of the sect, which is not owned by one person, but is divided into hundreds of shares and enshrined in the ancestral hall of the sect.
Otherwise, if only one person owns it, how will the rest of the disciples cultivate?
The incense of the sect is like this, it is not privately owned, but belongs to the sect.
It can be regarded as tying the disciples to the chariot of the sect.
As long as this is the case, if they leave the sect or are sentenced, they can withdraw the power of incense through the incense table in the ancestral hall at any time.
But that's exactly what happened.
Some local big families in Qihe County joined forces with some local officials to destroy some incense cases in their ancestral halls on the grounds of thoroughly investigating whether there is still a cult in the Wanxiang Sect.
The reason is that there is a cult hidden in Qihe County.
Destroy the asylum of the incense case in the sect, and the local area will be able to investigate better.
In addition, the Wanxiang Sect really had a cult, and it always belonged to the Jin State Sect.
Facing these officials, Wan Zongshi dared not speak out.
I'm afraid that things will go up, and they will suffer. It's better to lose some, just lose some, as long as the incense land is still there.
Moreover, these officials and big families in Qihe County also knew that destroying too much might force the Wanxiang Sect to fight back.
Therefore, for the past 20 years, they have actually implemented the policy of boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly ate away at them.
Finally to this day.
The Wanxiang Sect's land has been reduced by more than half.
The Wanxiang Sect has been reduced from a first-rate sect in the Jianghu to a second-rate sect now.
There is no way, the loss of incense represents the reduction of resources in the clan.
In contrast, the loss of land is also a reduction in territories, talents, prestige and power.
In such a gradual wear-and-tear, even if the Wanxiang sect wanted to fight back finally, there was nothing they could do.
Because many genius disciples in the sect, after seeing the sect gradually falling into disrepair and being verbally abused, left the sect at the risk of throwing away their incense while their realm was not yet high.
Maybe in ten years or so, the Wanxiang Sect's incense land will decrease, new disciples will be fewer and fewer, and more and more old disciples will leave, and the sect will gradually become lonely.
In another hundred years, it is impossible to say that the evidence of the existence of the Wanxiang sect can only be found from Wucheng's "Country History".
What's more, there may be another fluctuation in Daqi, Wucheng changed hands again, and it can't be found in Xiangye Shiji. We can only get a rumored name from the older generation that "Wucheng used to have a sect named Wanxiangzong". Talk about money after dinner.
This is like the "background identities" of the six members of the team and the three brothers of the Mo family.
The sects and villages they mentioned do exist.
But if it is more specific, as to who is in Zongnei Village, it will be difficult to check.
Now, the suzerain doesn't want his own sect to be like this, so when he learned that the prince is coming, it's like grabbing a life-saving straw, wanting to greet him and exert some influence on the court.
In their minds, Zhang Feng, Prince Zhang, can represent the imperial court.
Or in everyone's mind, Daqi's land was conquered by the general.
The Demon King was also sealed by the Great General.
His Majesty is the great general's eldest disciple and the prince's fellow apprentice.
This world pays attention to fellowship, etiquette, righteousness, benevolence and law.
Then in the Daqi court, what the prince said definitely has full weight, and even His Majesty dare not easily deny or refute it.
So as long as you can take refuge under the command of the prince, you can even ask the prince to help you talk.
The suzerain and the great elder felt that as long as Da Qi was prosperous forever, then their sect would also last forever.
At least the only incense land can be preserved, and these Xiao Xiaozai will not be annexed privately.
'Go to the Zongnei treasure house and take out the Yunling stone. 'The suzerain thought of this, and put his mind to it, preparing to take out the important treasures in the sect.
It's just that when the elder heard this order, his eyelids twitched, and he persuaded with some horror: "Suzerain!Yunling Stone is the foundation of our Vientiane Sect and also a treasure handed down from our ancestors'
The elder said that one hundred people were unwilling.
After all, no matter how high or low the level of the rhyming stone is, its power is.
But in the final analysis, it is the magic weapon used by the founder of the mountain, and it is of extraordinary significance.
But if Zhang Feng was here and saw this stone again, he wouldn't be surprised.
Because this stone is an eighth-level green offensive magic weapon for Zhang Feng.
Such a magic weapon is far inferior to the ghost artifact, and it is also inferior to the mythical bow that has been promoted to the eighth rank.
However, for the Wanxiang sect, this rhyme stone represents the highest level item.
The Great Elder will persuade, and it is only natural to persuade.
"Sovereign think twice," the elder is still persuading, "If you send the Yunling Stone to the prince after you and I die in the future, how can we meet the ancestors in the sect? My sect has nothing left."
'To meet with? The suzerain saw that the elder didn't take it, but walked straight to the outside of the palace, ready to take it by himself, "I'm afraid the ancestors will blame you and me even more when the Wanxiang sect disappears."You and I are even more shameless to meet our ancestors! '
"I know this truth," the elder continued to persuade while catching up, "but handing over the treasure of the Zhenzong may not win the favor of the prince."
Sovereign, think about it, the prince is in the imperial court of the imperial capital, and the treasury gathers the most treasures in the world.
What secret treasure has the prince not seen?
How can we let the prince speak for us with our mere charm stone? '
'This' the suzerain who walked outside the hall paused, 'does the elder have a better way? '
'I' the elder thought about it for a while, but he made a decision that made the suzerain shudder, "The rhyme stone may be just an ordinary magic weapon for the prince.
But my sect is located in Lianggu Mountain's spiritual vein, which can produce more than [-] top-quality spiritual stones per month
If this mine vein is handed over to the prince, I believe that the prince will understand our heart of refuge
And in the treasury, there are more than a thousand top-quality spirit stones for disciples to practice, which can also be handed over to the prince
After sending it out.
There are some treasures of gold and silver in the account room, plus some medicinal materials sold by the elders of the pharmacy, and some magical artifacts sold by the refining room, the silver and two spirit stones in exchange should be enough for one year's cultivation in the sect to make up for the gap in the vein'
The 'Elder' suzerain heard this, but this time it was him who persuaded, "If this trip fails or the prince accepts the mine veins, but ignores me, my Wanxiang sect does not need ten years, 20 years, but next year. The spirit stones will be exhausted and the sect will be destroyed'
The elder 'Suzerain' advises, 'Only in this way can we reflect my sect's intentions, and I hope the Suzerain will learn from you'
