Chapter 154: Monk working, Wu Earth Spiritual Vein is formed
Liangzhou is a remote and barren place in the territory of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
In this day and age, it is even more difficult.
The concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth is low, and it is even more difficult to grow the natural treasures and cultivation resources that assist in cultivation.
The famous and upright sects still active in the Great Xuan Dynasty all look down on this barren land. Only the independent cultivators and small sects who can't make it in other states will come to this poor place to try to survive.
This is why Dahe Temple became the mountain king of Liangzhou. Of course, to be able to become the mountain king of Liangzhou, Dahe Temple naturally has the strength.
At least there are quite a few monks who have reached the spiritual realm in the temple, which is enough to deter other forces in Liangzhou.
Therefore, now that Dahe Temple blatantly invades the territories of other forces, collects incense and prayers, and plans major events, forces like Zhengyangmen immediately turned to Dahe Temple.
Although Lu Feng's Red Leaf Society still had some self-assertion, they were intimidated by the power of Dahe Temple and only dared to make trouble secretly, and did not dare to directly expel all the monks of Dahe Temple.
After all, Lu Feng's strength was still a little lacking, and he was not sure enough to confront Dahe Temple directly.
However, the situation in Liangzhou is not yet bad.
After much inquiry from the Red Leaf Society, Lu Feng learned that Dahe Temple was not doing anything excessive at the moment.
They collected incense and prayer power from other forces in Liangzhou and mostly adopted peaceful trading models.
Dahe Temple gave money and resources to obtain the right to preach in the local area, and a large number of monks personally collected incense and vows for Dahe Temple.
Even though there were forces that hated Dahe Temple, had grudges against it, and were unwilling to give it the right to preach, Dahe Temple did not take any extreme or bloody measures.
They just kept persuading each other patiently, and after the monks from Dahe Temple pestered them, many forces had to nod and agree even though they were unwilling in their hearts.
As a result, the monks who came to Dahe Temple to collect incense and prayers have spread all over Liangzhou.
There were even some capable monks who went to the Wanshan League to persuade the barbarian tribes to join Buddhism and worship Buddha and burn incense.
As more and more intelligence was collected, Lu Feng still had no clue what Dahe Temple was planning. It had to be said that Dahe Temple's confidentiality measures were indeed good.
Ordinary monks in Dahe Temple only knew that the temple was planning a big event, which required a large amount of incense and vows.
But they had no idea about the specific plan.
Monk Huishan, who was at the highest level of Taoist boy, said frankly that he didn't know either when Luo Xueqing tried to trick him.
Lu Feng estimated that the only people who knew the truth of the matter were the real high-ranking officials of Dahe Temple, the great monks in the temple who had achieved the spiritual realm.
Things are accomplished through secrecy.
If Lu Feng were asked to plan something earth-shattering, he would definitely not tell his subordinates much, because only what he keeps in his heart is the safest.
The plan of Dahe Temple has attracted the attention of many forces in Liangzhou.
However, as the days go by.
One month, two months, three months, the monks of Dahe Temple are still working hard to preach and collect incense and prayers.
There is no intention of stopping at all.
It seems that the big event planned by Dahe Temple requires a lot of incense and prayers!
This is what many forces think.
After experiencing the initial thrills, the various forces gradually got used to the monks of Dahe Temple preaching within their own sphere of influence.
What can they do if they are not used to it? They can’t beat Dahe Temple anyway.
The incense and prayer power collected by the monks of Dahe Temple can be regarded as merit money donated to "Buddha" to buy peace.
After adapting to the existence of Dahe Temple, all major forces felt uncomfortable looking at the popular temples in their own territories, as these incense sticks were their resources for cultivation.
Since it concerns the wallet, it is inevitable that some people will have some thoughts.
They began to compete with Dahe Temple on their own territory to prevent too much of their incense and prayer power from being snatched away.
The Red Leaf Society was the first to compete with Monk Huishan for its territory.
Monk Huishan felt tremendous pressure after obtaining Luo Xueqing's permission to lead his monks to preach in the Red Leaf Society's territory.
In the territory of the Red Leaf Society, ordinary people simply don't believe what Dahe Temple says.
"Burn incense and worship Buddha? I have money for burning incense, why don't I reward myself with two sesame cakes?"
"Seeking wealth in the next life? Sorry, our President Luo has always taught us to create wealth with our own hands! Or I can live a good life if I work hard in this life, why should I suffer and wait for the next life?"
"Will I still be me in the next life?"
Ordinary people in the Red Leaf Society's territory spoke catchphrases that sounded like rhymes. Monk Huishan sometimes couldn't help but nod his head frequently, saying that what they said made sense.
After a little inquiry, Monk Huishan discovered:
The Red Leaf Society was very attentive in governing this area, and its members were no longer the local evil forces that bullied men and women and collected protection fees.
Instead, he did the work of the government and even did it better than the government.
From military training and tax collection to farming and breeding, the Red Leaf Society is involved and provides guidance.
The Red Leaf Society even went so far as to spread textual knowledge and basic martial arts to poor and backward villages.
A large amount of Red Leaf Society culture has been spread, which has given ordinary people in the Red Leaf Society's territory a tendency to awaken their wisdom and get rid of ignorance.
Seeing these changes, Monk Huishan's forehead was covered with sweat.
What does Hongye want to do?
Are they planning to steal the sky and create a new one?
But what’s the use of a dynasty of mortals? No matter how many mortals there are, they are just mortals. No matter how many there are, can they pose a threat to those who practice the way of earthly immortals?
Huishan disdains the power of mortals, but the more enlightened people under the Red Leaf Society are unwilling to believe in the Dahe Temple's worship of immortals and Buddhas, which gives Monk Huishan a headache.
After all, no one is willing to burn incense and worship Buddha. If he cannot collect the incense and vows and complete the temple's tasks, Monk Huishan will be in trouble.
In desperation, Monk Huishan also thought of using some shady tricks and using the bewitching Buddhist magic to trick some people into collecting incense and offerings.
However, Monk Huishan was always being watched by Yu Donglei's men. Monk Huishan tried several times but was caught by the Red Leaf Society's law enforcement team before he succeeded.
The strongest member of the law enforcement team is only a middle-grade Taoist boy, but they are also the staff of the Red Leaf Society. Whenever something happens, Luo Xueqing will come to question them.
He caught him when he signed the contract, stared at Huishan's big bald head, and asked him why he broke the agreement and used magic.
Being caught in the act, Monk Huishan felt ashamed, but he did not dare to do anything else due to the threat of the White Bone Soul-Capture Sword in Luo Xueqing's hand. He could only shamelessly ask Luo Xueqing for forgiveness.
Begging for mercy from a junior who was younger than him, even though Monk Huishan had trained his skin carefully, he still felt embarrassed and aggrieved.
Thinking of the confident words he had said in front of Luo Xueqing, Monk Huishan wanted to slap himself a few times for taking on the task.
If you don't have the ability, why bother trying to be a hero?
Monk Huishan never imagined that the place he picked at random would be as difficult as hell to preach in.
Although Monk Huishan has not been to other forces' territory, no matter how difficult other places are, they are still more difficult than Hongye Club.
Monk Huishan felt extremely flustered when he thought about the amount of tasks assigned to him by the temple.
If he fails to complete the tasks assigned by the temple, the abbot will not let him off easily.
Seeing Monk Huishan's ugly face, and then looking at the deserted temples around, Luo Xueqing suddenly came up with a plan. She then pulled Monk Huishan to an empty corner, narrowed her beautiful eyes, smiled and whispered:
"Master Huishan, you are worried about the incense and vows. Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you out!"
Monk Huishan's expression darkened and he looked at Luo Xueqing.
What worried him was of course the matter of incense and vows, and Luo Xueqing guessed it correctly.
It was this accuracy that made Monk Huishan extremely heartbroken.
Isn't it like rubbing salt into his wounds by President Luo saying this now?
However, after thinking about it, Monk Huishan was moved and hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"I am indeed worried about the incense and vows. It has been a year and it is almost time to send back the incense and vows! Nowadays, my temple is deserted and it is difficult to gather the incense and vows needed by the temple."
When Monk Huishan said this, he already seemed to be giving up hope.
Anyway, if he fails to complete the mission in the temple, he will be in trouble. If he can find some remedial measures from the Red Leaf Society, it would be feasible.
Isn't it just about face? Monk Huishan is not the kind of person who cares about face.
After hearing what Monk Huishan said, Luo Xueqing immediately had an idea in her mind and knew how to convince Monk Huishan next.
Luo Xueqing cleared her throat, took out a copy of the Red Leaf Society's Contribution Exchange List (special edition for Monk Huishan) from her arms, and handed it to Monk Huishan.
"The solution you are looking for is all in this booklet!"
"???"
Upon hearing this, Monk Huishan narrowed his eyes and took the booklet from Luo Xueqing with doubt.
After flipping through two pages, Monk Huishan saw the option to exchange incense and vows on the contribution exchange list. In an instant, Monk Huishan understood what Luo Xueqing meant.
"President Luo, are you planning to make us monks work for your Red Leaf Society?" Monk Huishan squeezed out a sentence almost through gritted teeth.
Even though Monk Huishan was thick-skinned and kind-hearted, he couldn't help but clench his hands holding the booklet.
We are monks of Dahe Temple. We have status and support.
The little Red Leaf Society is going too far!
Luo Xueqing saw the gloomy expression on Monk Huishan's face, but was not surprised at all. She continued:
"It's work, but look at the rewards. The materials I get in exchange for the contribution points of the Red Leaf Society are definitely cheaper than those bought from outside businesses. Anyway, you monks can't collect incense in the Red Leaf Society, so it's better to work hard in the Red Leaf Society, earn contribution points directly, and exchange them for incense and vows. It's more cost-effective."
After listening to Luo Xueqing's explanation, Monk Huishan looked at the manual again and calculated the difficulty of obtaining Hongye Club contribution points and the purchasing power of the exchanged materials.
After some calculations, Monk Huishan discovered that if he took his men to work for the Red Leaf Society, he could actually earn the incense and power needed for the temple's tasks, and even have some surplus, enough to pay his men their daily wages.
Thinking about it this way, Monk Huishan found that Luo Xueqing's proposal had great potential.
"If I push them harder, maybe I can help these monks make some extra money. After all, the Red Leaf Society is really wealthy. They actually put the skills and spiritual herbs and flowers directly on the exchange list. They can be exchanged for ordinary contribution points."
After accepting Luo Xueqing's proposal, Monk Huishan's thoughts changed rapidly, and he even began to plan to exploit his subordinates without any instruction.
If Luo Xueqing knew what he was thinking, she would definitely find a way to hang Monk Huishan on the flagpole.
Monk Huishan got over the hurdle in his heart and immediately let go completely. He nodded to Luo Xueqing and said with a smile: "President Luo, I agree with your proposal. Let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
"It's a pleasure working with you!" Luo Xueqing narrowed her beautiful eyes, feeling very happy.
In this way, the cancer of the monks from Dahe Temple in the Red Leaf Society's land was finally under their control.
Monk Huishan brought his subordinate monks to work under her.
I don't know how to control her, so I let her do whatever she wants.
As a leader, Luo Xueqing is professional.
The troubles caused by the Red Leaf Society on the land were greatly reduced as Monk Huishan became the contractor for the Society.
The monks are busy working and naturally have no energy to cause trouble.
Monk Huishan quickly adapted to the rhythm of the Red Leaf Society by opening mountains, building roads, constructing bridges and building houses, and gradually became the shape that Luo Xueqing needed.
The monks sent by Dahe Temple, besides Monk Huishan, include more than ten monks at the Daotong level, and the remaining one hundred or so monks are all capable of fighting.
In the eyes of Luo Xueqing, who was deeply influenced by Lu Feng's guidance, these people were limited productivity and labor.
Monk Huishan put aside his dignity for the sake of incense and vows, and Luo Xueqing shamelessly moved them wherever they were needed. After all, they were not her own people, so she didn't feel bad if they were misbehaved.
As long as enough contribution points are given and Monk Huishan is dealt with, the monks under him will have no complaints.
Compared to Luo Xueqing, the newbie Monk Huishan is still too naive and can never beat her.
While taking a walk to digest his food in the evening, Lu Feng couldn't help laughing as he listened to Luo Xueqing talking about the changes in the Red Leaf Society and the fall of the monks in Dahe Temple.
The performance of the monks led by Monk Huishan really disappointed him.
The preacher was unable to defeat Yu Donglei, and when he started working, he sold himself to Luo Xueqing.
These were the worst group of monks he had ever seen.
However, after learning that the monks of Dahe Temple had settled down, Lu Feng felt relieved and continued to practice with peace of mind.
Spring comes and autumn goes, and another year has passed.
During the three hundred days of daily energy gathering, Lu Feng happily set his gaze on the Qingmu Spiritual Realm. The earth spirit vein that he had worked so hard to refine was finally about to be refined.
In the spiritual realm, the ochre-yellow shape of the mountain on the back of the stone turtle lying on the hill is clearly visible, and the thick earth energy is wrapped around it and hangs down like a silk ribbon.
The restriction of the Wu Earth Spirit Realm has been completed, waiting for Lu Feng's thought to complete the final transformation.
