Chapter 230 Add 1 Sect
Chapter 230 Add a Sect
Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, and looked outside the cave: "Isn't the God teaching you the Dharma?"
"I just followed my master to get some incense..." Zhao Qi said with a smile, "and my master said he doesn't care what I do, as long as I help him look at the outside world. My master calls this a report summary and says that the relationship between us is an employment relationship - do you understand what an employment relationship is?"
Li Wuxiang stared at Zhao Qi and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
It’s not about his experiences during his lifetime, nor his current situation after death - in terms of life after death, few people are luckier than him.
Instead, I remembered the time when I met him in Jinshui. At that time, Zhao Qi was an extremely arrogant person. He didn't want his shoes to be splashed with mud when he walked, and he rarely looked anyone in the eye. But now that he is dead and his temperament has changed drastically, he would actually humble himself to beg me, and it seems that he has no psychological burden at all.
If he changed his appearance and name, who could still tell that he was the former senior brother of Ranshan?
So, is the current Zhao Qi still the same Zhao Qi as before?
When people live in this world, what do they rely on to determine whether they are themselves or not? Is it their memories? Or is it their consistent temperament and mind?
Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "Okay. Please help me on the Great Tribulation Mountain this time. I have got the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture, and we can practice together."
"real?!"
"real."
When Li Wuxiang said these two words, he seemed to hear a slight sneer. It should be the Ninth Young Master laughing.
Zhao Qi also heard the noise, shrank his body slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. It seemed as if he felt that his master could see his current appearance, so there was a hint of flattery in that smile.
Li Wuxiang frowned slightly: "Zhao Qi."
"Ah? Haha, what do you want, Sect Master?"
"From now on I won't call you Master, and you don't have to call me Sect Master. I'll call you Zhao Qi, and you can call me Li Wuxiang."
Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and stood at the entrance of the cave in a daze for a while, then raised his hands, as if to touch his head or scratch his hair, but halfway through he just rubbed his hands together and scratched the back of his hands, and said, "Okay, this works too."
This time, there was no sneer from the Ninth Young Master. Li Wuxiang smiled at him and walked to the cave entrance: "Okay, brother Zhao, I'll go ahead and discuss the rest with Lou He."
He stepped into the blood mist and heard Zhao Qi calling from behind: "Ah? Why am I the younger brother? Brother Li, why are you calling me that..."
……
When Li Wuxiang reappeared in the house, he saw Lou He waiting, and Zhao Yu—but she was in the yard, pretending to be busy with something, walking back and forth with a wooden basin in her hand, looking into the house from time to time, as if she thought that she had gone to the inner room to do something, so she helped to watch the "Lu Pan" to prevent him from doing anything sneaky. When she saw Li Wuxiang coming out again, she put down the wooden basin and walked back to the wing room.
Lou He smiled at him: "You are really popular. Friends are willing to help, and any disciple you accept is loyal - the one in Lingshan is the friend of your Ranshan Patriarch, right? You can be said to have been blessed by the Patriarch now."
Lou He must have heard the rumors about Ranshan. Li Wuxiang nodded, "Yes. Senior Brother Lou, I have found a way to invite that thing down. We need to discuss how to make me the chief priest of the descent of the gods, or the candidate for the seal master. Which sects on Dajie Mountain want to join Xuanjiao? I may be able to persuade one or two sects, and you can ask those people to work together, and the matter will be almost done."
"That, I don't know."
"Not sure?"
"This kind of thing is considered a big no-no in the Thirty-Six Sects - after all, they are nominally worshipping Taiyi. So even if someone on the Great Tribulation Mountain really wants to join the Xuan Sect, they won't want to let each other know. They join the Xuan Sect for the benefit of their own sect. If they knew that others did the same, they might use this as an excuse to attack each other. So no one talks about this kind of thing openly. If you want to say who knows the most in the Zhenxing Sect, it's the Lord of the Dongyue Sect - so I said I can't stay here for too long, I have to go back at any time to report and listen to the instructions of the Lord of the Sect."
Lou He smiled bitterly: "You see, I am just his errand boy now. Only after I get things done on Dajie Mountain, I can be considered his confidant. Of course, if I do something bigger as you said, maybe I won't have to get entangled with him."
Li Wu believed 70% of what he said, and the remaining 30% was because Lou He was like himself - he would not share all his secrets with him.
This is the disadvantage of working with smart people: it saves trouble, but you also have to be careful. It would be great if Zhao Qi could get Lou He's brain.
"Then help me think about it." Li Wuxiang nodded. Before Lou He came, he had been thinking that it would be great if he could find someone who knew the Thirty-Six Sects and help him figure out what happened on the Great Tribulation Mountain - who was more likely to be the traitor?
Now, no matter whether what Lou He said was true or false, it would not be wrong to borrow his brain.
"Is it the Juque Sect? Mu Tieshan said that his master on the mountain told him that he should kill anyone from the Sword Sect if he met one. When he came back to the mountain and saw the look on Mu Jinchuan's face, he knew someone in his sect must have really said that."
Lou He looked at him and thought about it seriously: "You can doubt it. But I have a more reasonable idea."
"Brother Lou, you say."
"The Juque Sect has always been the strongest of the five major sects among the thirty-six sects. Even without this great calamity alliance, it has the momentum to become the co-leader of the thirty-six sects. So this time, the great calamity alliance should be led by their Juque Sect, and they want to establish their position as the co-leader in the legal system."
"In this case, they definitely don't like to see our Sword Sect getting involved - in terms of legal order, no one is more legitimate than our Sword Sect. In terms of strength, Sect Leader Jiang is gone, and the Juque Sect has three Yang Gods, who can compete with us, but if they really start fighting on the surface, they will immediately lose their righteousness, and things will be difficult to handle." "So if they say that they don't want people from the Sword Sect to come to Dajie Mountain, this makes sense. And it doesn't make sense to say that they want to join the Xuan Sect - originally they wanted to be the co-leader, why should they take the initiative to join the Xuan Sect and be even lower than before?"
Li Wuxiang had had some vague thoughts about these things before, but he did not know as much about the Thirty-Six Sects and the world situation as Lou He did, so many of them were just guesses, and he could not be as sure as Lou He.
He nodded and said, "What about the remaining four sects? What do you think, Senior Brother Lou?"
Lou He frowned and thought for a while: "The remaining four sects were actually all dependent on the Juque Sect in the past. However, the situation of the Suhua Sect and the Tiangong Sect is different from that of the Qingxiao Sect and the Qianji Sect."
"The reason why the Juque Sect is the most powerful of the thirty-six sects is actually for one reason - it is the richest sect and has the most people. Qingxiao and Qianji are very similar to the Juque Sect, but one is the second and the other is the third. They just look like slightly weaker Juque Sects."
"Suhua and Tiangong are actually not as rich as many other sects in terms of sect wealth and number of disciples. The reason why they are one of the five major sects is that Suhua produces the most elixirs and magical materials, and Tiangong produces the most mechanical magic weapons. Therefore, these two sects are also needed by Juque Sect. It can be said that they complement each other."
"So I don't think these two sects should have any intention of competing for the position of the Sect Master or the Thirty-Six Sects' Co-Master. Not only are they not as powerful as Juque, Qingxiao, and Qianji, they are even not as powerful as the other major sects. The best way out is actually the Sword Sect."
"Junior brother, you may not be very familiar with the past style of the Juque Sect. It is said that our Sword Sect disciples are domineering in their dealings with others, and the Juque Sect is similar. However, the Sword Sect's dominance is reasonable, while the Juque Sect is not necessarily so. To me, it is more like bullying by taking advantage of one's power."
"Suhua and Tiangong will eventually be subordinate to others. If I were them, I might hope that Jianzong would get involved and replace Juque. Jianzong has fewer people and will not be as restrictive as Juque. They are more righteous and will not be as unreasonable as Juque."
"You said that Kong Jingci and Tang Qilang were trying to please you along the way. Maybe that's what they were thinking - either they want the Sword Sect to be their co-leader, or they want the Sword Sect to support them. Anyway, they have to be followers. The best is to be a follower of the Sword Sect, the next best is to be a follower of the Juque Sect, and the worst is for the Xuan Sect to take over - then they can't even be followers."
Lou He really knows the affairs of the thirty-six sects. After hearing what he said, Li Wuxiang felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear: "So, Senior Brother, do you think it is Qingxiao or Qianji Sect?"
Lou He nodded: "One, or simply both. The two are similar in power, only slightly behind the Juque Sect. If the Juque Sect's power is slightly damaged, or they get a little support, they may become the leader of all sects."
Li Wuxiang thought for a moment and said, "So, Senior Brother Lou, you should find out from the leader of Dongyue Temple which of the two sects has joined Xuanjiao. Your two sects or one sect, plus I will persuade Tiangong and Suhua. It will be three to two or four to one. I have the advantage. I will definitely be the sect leader."
"Then, our method is this - I will come to invite the True Spirit and use the Eastern Emperor Seal. But accidentally, I really invited Taiyi True Spirit down and it came to the world! The True Form Sect should want to ask the True Spirits of the Five Mountains to come forward to stir up the earth fire and destroy the Taiyi True Spirit. But I am sure that the Five Mountains True Spirits will not do this. The people of the True Form Sect are the closest to here, so the elite of the sect must come together to solve this matter."
“When they come to the Great Tribulation Mountain, Senior Brother Lou, you will immediately announce your allegiance to the Xuan Sect to the public. By that time, Taiyi Zhenling will be alive, and no one will dare to really admit that they are going to join the Xuan Sect. Instead, they will be eager to prove their innocence. The people of the Zhenxing Sect will suddenly lose their support and be attacked by the thirty-six sects. At that time... Let me think, if I can get Senior Sister Mei to come here, I can let the people of the Zhenxing Sect have a taste of what the Jian Sect felt when it was in Youjiuyuan!”
Lou He frowned and looked at him: "You...Okay, your idea is good. But didn't you say before that you wanted to retire from the martial arts world and practice in seclusion? Why are you so excited now when you mention the matter of the Sect Master?"
"Because I thought of a good deal."
Lou He was stunned: "Trade?"
"If this matter is successful, how much benefit do you think you can get, Brother Lou? I'm not talking about power and status, I mean things like elixirs and magical materials."
Lou He looked at him seriously, his face becoming serious. He thought about it carefully: "Now I am Miao Yi, a person sent by the Lord of Dongyue. If I use the things in the Ye Dynasty as an analogy, it is like I don't have any official position at the moment, but am just a favorite of a senior official."
"So if this matter is really accomplished as we planned, it will be the result of the efforts of the Dongyue Altar Master - causing the Zhenxing Sect to suffer a heavy blow. So by then, whether the Dongyue Altar Master dies on the Great Tribulation Mountain or not, the entire Dongyue Altar will not be a good place to stay, because everyone from top to bottom will be held accountable."
"Just now after I came out, I was thinking that the best opportunity might be to join the Zhongyue Altar. The Zhongyue Altar Master and the Dongyue Altar Master in the Zhenxing Sect have always been at odds with each other, to the point of hatred. The Zhongyue Altar is different from the other four altars because it is in the sect's dojo, so the main thing it does is to monitor the other altars."
"If the True Form Sect is seriously injured by the Dongyue Altar this time, the Lord of the Zhongyue Altar will surely kill him. At that time, all the investigation and conviction will be done by the people of the Zhongyue Altar. So if we can borrow its means again, let me become a discipline deacon of the Zhongyue Altar before we do anything, then..." Lou He smiled, "I'm afraid that I can earn all the elixirs and magic materials prepared by the thirty-six sects for the thirty-six serious disciples this time."
Li Wuxiang was about to speak, but Lou He stopped smiling: "But those won't all be mine. It will be a good opportunity, and those things will help me pave the way for advancement. Junior brother, you just mentioned the deal, and you meant that you helped me this time, how much can I give you?"
Because of his past life experience, Li Wuxiang had no problem talking about deals and benefits. He nodded: "Yes."
Lou He laughed again: "I guess your ancestor from Lingshan passed on some method to you, so that the things in the Tianxin Fantasy Realm are not enough for you. Well, I like this kind of thing - doing things based on will and virtue is good, but for me, if a person still has something to ask for, I feel more at ease."
"One sect." He thought for a while, "Tell me how many medicinal materials there are in a sect in Tianxin Fantasy Realm, and that's one sect. You already have the foundation of a sect, and if this goes smoothly, I'll give you another sect."
He said this while looking at Li Wuxiang with sharp eyes.
Li Wuxiang frowned, and Lou He said, "Junior brother, when the time comes, these things won't be so easy to get. I——"
"You just said that you want to use its means to make you a discipline steward of Zhongyue Altar." Li Wuxiang looked at him worriedly, "It won't give you anything easily, right? If you pay something? Brother Lou, I can't say much about your affairs, but if you find something or something very difficult at that time, we can actually think of other ways. Now we are doing things together, there is no need for you to bear some things alone."
Lou He paused for a moment. He looked at Li Wuxiang, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just nodded: "I know. I know my limits."
