Chapter 201: Changes in the Dragon and Tiger List, hidden crisis, the county magistrate’s request.
Black Mountain.
This is the headquarters of the Netherfire Sect.
The mountain is pitch black, with few trees and jagged rocks in many terrifying shapes.
Inside the cold and eerie hall, green flames were burning inside four bronze animal heads, and eight chairs were placed in two rows on the left and right below the main seat.
Of course, the first seat in the upper right row is now vacant, with no one sitting there. This was the seat that once belonged to Lie Yanzi.
"Master, are we just going to let this matter go?" Lie Wuxia, the white-bearded, red-robed elder who had previously stopped Yi Chen from climbing the mountain, growled angrily at Yin Tianyin.
"Otherwise, you go first or me?"
"Yichengzi is a man of extraordinary talent, rarely seen in a thousand years. Even if I ask my uncle to come out, he can't do anything to him. How about you, Lie Wuxia, give it a try?" Yin Tianyin sneered.
In order not to undermine morale, he still did not tell others about his great-grandmaster's vomiting blood.
"Alright, the peace talks with Hidden Dragon Temple were a joint decision between me and my great-grandmaster, and it's a done deal. Today's discussion is about the changes that our Netherfire Sect must make."
"My idea is that from today on, the two Nether Fire Halls will be merged, and all the classics and resources will be brought together. If we cannot concentrate our resources to train a master who can make Yi Chengzi fear us, after our great-grandmaster passes away, our Nether Fire Sect will sooner or later become a vassal of the Hidden Dragon Temple."
"What do you think?"
Yin Tianyin suddenly dropped a bombshell, and everyone's faces changed drastically for a moment. The people in the Underworld Palace were smiling, while the people in the Fire Palace had gloomy faces.
The two halls merged. At the critical moment when the Fire Hall's Grand Elder Lie Yanzi passed away, when the resources were combined in one place, would the Fire Hall still have a say in how to use the resources? "I agree. The separation of the two halls is a long-standing problem of our sect. In order to prevent internal friction and mutual constraints in the sect, the merger of the two halls is the general trend at this critical moment."
"That's right. The merger of the two halls will benefit the sect and the disciples. I agree with it."
Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Hades Palace immediately spoke out in agreement.
"I object!"
"This merger is called a merger, but it is actually an annexation." Lie Wuxia stood up again, his eyes bloodshot.
Yin Tianyin's face darkened and he swung his hand.
A huge palm transformed from black energy suddenly flew out and slapped Lie Wuxia to the ground. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Who else objects?"
The aura of the peak seventh level of the True Person Realm instantly spread throughout the hall, causing his hair and beard to flutter slightly in excitement.
How could Yin Tianyin not know Lie Yanzi's evil ambitions over the years? It's just that the situation forced them to split.
So he has been enduring it.
Now he has finally waited for this godsend opportunity.
He had justice in his hands, but Lie Yanzi died. He did not accept the gift from heaven and instead suffered the consequences. There had been two voices in his Netherfire Sect for too long, and it was time for only one voice to speak.
"You..." Lie Wuxia covered his face with his hands, his eyes full of disbelief. He didn't expect that Yin Tianyin, who was always gentle and patient, would have such a domineering side. For a moment, he realized something and lowered his head in resentment.
The other elders of the Fire Palace were silent, feeling sad.
"Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled."
"Also, now the Yinlong Temple has Yichengzi, who is the only one holding up the temple. As long as he is not dead, no one in our sect should mess with the people of Yinlong Temple. If anyone tries to do something behind the scenes, don't blame me for clearing out the sect without considering the friendship between fellow disciples."
Yin Tianyin looked around the entire place, finally focusing his gaze on Lie Wuxia, and said sternly.
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the hall.
"Sixth Elder, you have to consider the overall situation. The revenge for your brother's murder is not worth mentioning." An elder from the Underworld Palace who had always been at odds with Lie Wuxia walked up to him with a smile.
…
…
Dadu Baixiao Tower.
Baixiao Tower is located in a prosperous area of Dadu. It is ninety-nine stories high and reaches into the clouds. From time to time, practitioners wearing strange tokens shuttle back and forth here like worker bees.
On the top floor, a beautiful girl in red was quietly sorting out documents with her head down, while the owner of Baixiao Tower, Sanmu Zhenren Yue Shuhua, was holding the purple clay teapot that he had been cultivating for nearly a hundred years and drinking spiritual tea calmly.
Yue Shuhua, the Three-eyed Immortal, is a powerful figure who has stepped half a step into the realm of True Lord.
There are also rumors that he has already entered the realm of True Lord, but he has denied it three times each time. He has not left Baixiao Tower for many years and has never taken action, so his true strength is unknown.
There was a red mark between Yue Shuhua's eyebrows that looked like a fingerprint.
That was left behind when he had a life-and-death battle with an old enemy. Although he killed the old enemy in that battle, he was also pointed at the center of his forehead by someone. If it weren't for his strong foundation and the narrow victory, his head would have exploded.
But even so, the powerful finger force of his old enemy left a red mark between his eyebrows.
Later, in order to warn himself not to take risks again, Sanmu Zhenren allowed the fingerprint to remain and earned the beautiful name of Sanmu Zhenren.
"Owner, the draft list of this year's Dragon and Tiger Ranking has been released. Please take a look."
A young man in black armor held a scroll of documents and placed it next to Yue Shuhua, bowing respectfully.
"Xiao Cui, I've told you many times that I'm the deputy building owner. Do you understand what I mean? The building owner is in seclusion in a secret realm. Don't call me that next time." Yue Shuhua rubbed his chubby face and said with a smile, appearing very approachable.
Hearing this, the red-dressed girl not far away moved her elf-like earlobes and couldn't help but curl her lips.
The last unlucky guy who was so honest had been sent by his master to the Golden Horde Wolf Court in the northern grassland to watch the gray wolves show their fangs.
It will take at least 20 years to come back, which is said to be to add more burdens to the young people and give them some training.
"Yes, host." The young man in black armor answered fluently and seemed very experienced.
Yue Shuhua picked up the document and quietly read it. After a while, he suddenly shouted, "My dear disciple, come quickly. The husband your father, the Red Flame Army Master, introduced to you is so cruel. He is suspected of killing a seventh-level True Person Realm cultivator."
"But it seems that some forbidden technique was used. I don't know if the foundation was severely damaged. It has been useless."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the small forces are so pitiful, neither their father nor their mother loves them."
"No, he has no father or mother in Yinlongguan now, they are all orphans."
Hearing Yue Shuhua's shout, Yan Ling'er ran over with her long skirt lifted up. The third on the Dragon and Tiger List, Yichengzi of Yinlong Temple, was clearly visible.
"Master, please don't talk nonsense. The person I love must be a great hero who has killed countless people. My father is always talking nonsense." Yan Ling'er curled her lips.
"That's the best. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you, my good disciple, will be a widow in the future."
"What do you mean, Master?" Yan Ling'er's gossip fire burned fiercely, like a badger falling into a melon field under the moonlight.
"Hehe, that sinister and vicious bastard Old Yan secretly went to a place a few days ago and stayed there for a day before coming back. With his style of doing things, if he doesn't move, it's fine, but if he moves, it's like a thunderbolt. This Yichengzi is in trouble."
"If this person can come to Dadu alive, my dear disciple, you can get in touch with him." Yue Shuhua suddenly said with emotion.
"Master, you are so mercenary. You play the piano just like my father." Yan Ling'er said "Pah, pah, pah".
Yue Shuhua did not answer. After a moment of thought, he moved Yi Chen's name from third to fifth on the list.
"Master, why is this? With such a good record, why can't Yichengzi be among the top three? This is unfair." Yan Linger said in surprise.
"Silly disciple, there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. It's good enough to be relatively fair."
"The first on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking is naturally my Great Yue Crown Prince. Now that Buddhism is very powerful, Zhang Daoyi must be ranked second. I rolled the dice for the Buddha disciple and the demon from the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Buddha disciple has a higher score, so he ranks third. This Yichengzi can only be fifth."
"I let him be fifth, which is considered as protecting him."
Yue Shuhua said meaningfully with a look of regret in his eyes.
After finishing speaking, Yue Shuhua smiled at the young man standing quietly beside him and said, "Xiao Cui, if any word of what happened here gets out, Xiao Su in the Golden Horde is waiting for someone to replace him."
"He has been hiding and herding sheep for nearly ten years."
"He smelled like sheep dung and was tanned black."
Hearing this, the young man in black armor seemed to be seen through by Yue Shuhua. He was suddenly startled and said he didn't dare.
The sunset is like blood.
On the northern grassland, a young man with a dark face and wearing a tattered felt coat was looking towards the east with a sad face. That was the direction of Dadu.
Because he leaked some information about the building to his family members, the owner of the building found an excuse to send him to the prairie as a spy.
It was agreed that I would work for three years first, but after three years, I worked for another three years. It has been nine years now and I still haven't received a transfer order.
At this time, an old sheep came over. It was a sheep he raised when he first came here. It was quite human-like. In order to relieve boredom, he could only talk to the sheep when he was bored.
"Dolly, let's go."
"I won't let go of the sheep that trampled the horse."
The little sheep Dolly is nine years old this year, and it is unknown how long she can live. Under the setting sun, the shadows of the man and the sheep are close together and stretched out very long.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Behind him, there were hundreds of sheep bleating, and in the distance, a big gray wolf was lurking in the grass, baring its teeth on the road he had to take back.
…
…
In Lanxiu Tower, the largest people-to-people connection organization in Fengyun County, a young Taoist who looks 199% like Zhang Long is spending money lavishly.
"Laymen in front, please shout out my name. Laymen in the back, let me see the incense sticks in your hands, shake them!"
"Tonight's consumption will be paid by me, Zhang Longyi! Single! Single!"
"Zhang Longyi! Zhang Longyi! Zhang Longyi!"
There was a surge of cheers at once.
For some things, if the supply and demand are not balanced, they will proliferate once restrictions are imposed.
For example, brothels, for example, the property market.
Ever since the Changshengshen incident dealt a heavy blow to Fengyun County's people-to-people connection industry, the loss of business elites has cast a shadow over the entire Fengyun County's erotic industry.
After a long period of recruiting, the business finally reopened today.
The new boss of Lanxiu Building is very good at having fun. He has transformed and empowered the industry based on the current situation in Fengyun County. He no longer takes the elegant route, but directly goes for the vulgar route.
A catwalk and a dance floor were built in the lobby on the first floor. Eighteen young girls were singing and dancing nearby, and they were actually doing some touching singing.
Once the demand that had been suppressed for months burst out, it created the scene of chaos and bustle in Lanxiu Building today.
And the Taoist who was yelling in the C position and looked like Zhang Longyi was undoubtedly Yi Chen.
Today he was strolling around Zhenbao Street, hoping to find a bargain, but he found nothing. As a result, somehow he came to the newly opened Lanxiu Pavilion.
It was really God's will that he, a great master in the late stage of the real person level, actually got lost.
Since it was God's will, he might as well come in and take a look.
As for how he transformed himself into Zhang Long, he naturally wanted to experiment with his ability of mimicry.
Of course, you can't use your own face when going to a brothel.
So whose face is the most suitable? Without a doubt, whoever has a grudge against him is the most suitable.
Just when Yi Chen was having fun, Captain Zhang suddenly rushed in, sweating profusely, as if he was looking for something.
Yi Chen frowned and left Lanxiu Tower.
Then a big hand was placed on Captain Zhang's shoulder.
"Traitor, what are you looking for?"
At this time, Yi Chen had naturally changed his appearance and walked in again, with a righteous look on his face.
"Master, I finally found you. Uncle Qingyunzi said you came to Fengyun County, so I guessed you were here."
"The county magistrate has something urgent to discuss with you. He is waiting for you at the county government office now."
"Lead the way." Yi Chen frowned. Although he was wondering how his good disciple could attract the county magistrate by sending him some local specialties, he did not ask more questions. He would know when the time came.
Sometimes the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. When the county governor comes overnight, he still has to give him some face.
Soon Yi Chen arrived at a study room in Fengyun County Government Office.
With a creak, Captain Zhang tiptoed to close the door.
A tallow candle as thick as an arm became the only light source in the room, illuminating the face of a handsome middle-aged scholar.
"Master Yi, there were too many people outside just now, so I kneel down in front of you." County Magistrate Li lifted his robe and knelt down in front of Yi Chen with a plop, respectfully holding up ten silver bills of ten thousand taels in his hand.
This scene completely confused Yi Chen.
An invisible force suddenly emerged and lifted up County Magistrate Li.
"If you have anything to say, you can speak frankly, County Magistrate. You are the chief official of this place, and I will naturally give you any convenience I can." Yi Chen is extremely polite to everyone when there is no conflict of interest.
"Master, you may not know that my son was visiting a prostitute in Tianxiang Pavilion three days ago, but he disappeared for no apparent reason when he went to the toilet. The detectives in the city have been investigating for three days but have not been able to find out the reason."
"I only have this one son. I really have no other choice but to ask the Taoist priest for help."
"Whether this matter succeeds or not, I have agreed to let your disciple Captain Zhang be the county magistrate. In the future, if there is anything that the Hidden Dragon Temple needs to do for you, I will open the door to convenience. This 100,000 taels will be used as the money for the Taoist priest to help you."
"Please, Taoist priest, save my son. If he's alive, I want him to be seen in person. If he's dead, I want to see his body." County Magistrate Li said gritting his teeth.
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down again. Yi Chen naturally pulled him back hastily. With a flick of his sleeves, the hundred thousand taels of silver disappeared into the palm of County Magistrate Li in an instant.
He was so moved by Magistrate Li's deep love for his son that he had to go on this trip.
When you are out there in the world, if you encounter something that you will eventually agree to, don't be shy, be quick, and do your best to show your favor.
This is Yi Chen’s principle of action.
Magistrate Li was full of sincerity. His son disappeared in the toilet with so many guards. It was probably either caused by evil spirits or someone was causing trouble.
This is not a loss of people for the son of County Magistrate Li, it is clearly a loss of face for Taoist Master Yi.
He knew clearly that the cultivation world in Ping'an County was changing with the times but still dared to cause trouble. No matter who it was, he had reason to strike hard.
"When will the Taoist priest leave?"
"Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Let's go now."
