Chapter 2733 Something happened over there
The branch of the Earth Immortal Association was still crowded with people.
Tao Jianbai was standing in the yard like the people around him. There were still a few old men sitting in the house, and the hall master was sitting right above him, with his eyes half-closed and an incense burner lit at hand. The elegant and curling mist was around him, and at first glance, he looked like a god sitting in the clouds.
He was speaking slowly and leisurely, "The Earth Immortals are the origin of all things. Anyone who joins our Earth Immortal Society is a brother. As long as you bow devoutly, the Earth Immortals will treat you all equally. You have all witnessed the miracles before, right?"
Everyone nodded hurriedly: "We all saw it!"
The hall master continued, "In the past two days, I have received news from the incense master. The Earth Immortal has indicated that another person in our Earth Immortal Association has moved the Earth Immortal with his sincerity, and the Earth Immortal will bestow blessings upon him."
When everyone heard this, they opened their eyes wide in surprise, looking at each other.
"Is that you?"
"Could it be me?"
"I've been a member for so long, it's my turn, right?"
Everyone was talking about it, hoping that such a miracle could happen to them.
Seeing these people's expectation, even a little eagerness, the hall master smiled slightly and said, "I know that you all hope that a miracle can befall you, but this depends on whether you are usually pious to the Earthly Immortals and whether you have done your best for the Earthly Immortal Association."
Everyone said, "Yes, we have all of them. We are all very pious."
The hall master smiled and said, "Only earthly immortals can see one's piety in the heart, but whether one does his best for our incense association or not is something everyone can see."
“…”
"For example, that day I asked you to help the brothers from the West City branch. Why didn't some of you go?"
Some people in the crowd looked hesitant.
He said softly, "But, those are the government officials coming to inspect. We, we dare not go against the government."
The hall master sneered and said, "You don't even dare to do this, and you still expect the earthly immortals to bestow blessings on you?"
“…”
"Have the government ever done anything for you?"
“…”
"It is the earthly immortals who truly care about you and bestow blessings upon you, but you are afraid of offending the government and are putting your brothers in dire straits."
“…”
"Can such piety still be considered piety?"
Everyone was a little panicked when they heard it.
He said hurriedly: "No, no, we will never do it again next time."
"That's right, we will do whatever the Earth Immortal tells us to do."
The hall master continued, "You should know that you are now without a roof over your head and no place to stand. It is precisely because the officials have imposed heavy taxes on you that you have been reduced to poverty. If you still abide by the rules of the government, then you should go back as soon as possible and see if the government will care about your life or death."
Someone in the crowd immediately said, "The government doesn't care about our lives. Only the earthly immortals care about our lives!"
Others immediately echoed, "That's right, only the Earthly Immortals care about us, the government is shit!"
"From now on, we will never listen to the government again, nor will we be afraid of them!"
"We only obey the orders of the Earthly Immortals!"
…
At this moment, everyone shouted loudly.
Tao Jianbai stood in the crowd and looked at the people around him who were so excited. He couldn't help but frown, but he immediately followed the crowd and shouted.
Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the house.
It seemed like there was a carriage parked not far from the door.
He subconsciously turned around and saw the door being pushed open. A groom, whip in hand, hurried in, walked straight through the crowd into the main hall, and walked to the side of the hall master.
"Master."
The hall master frowned slightly: "Didn't you go to the west of the city to do some business? Why are you back again?"
The groom leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Tao Jianbai walked forward subconsciously, but he was just standing in the yard, and there were so many people in front of him. Even if he took two steps forward, it would be difficult for him to get close to the main hall, let alone hear clearly what the man said.
However, as soon as the groom finished speaking, the hall master's eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly opened.
He looked at the groom in astonishment: "Really?"
The groom whispered, "He said so. He saw..."
“…”
The hall master took a deep breath and said, "Then, what should we do?"
The groom said, "He meant to send someone over quickly..."
As he spoke, he put his hand to cover his mouth. Adding to the fact that the people around him were already confused and talking a lot, Tao Jianbai couldn't hear a single word he said. He could only stare intently ahead.
After the groom finished speaking, he bowed to the hall master again, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Tao Jianbai looked back and saw that the coachman had parked the carriage some distance away from the gate. He could just barely see the curtain swaying slightly, and there seemed to be a person in white sitting inside.
The coachman climbed onto the carriage and immediately shook the reins, driving the carriage away.
Tao Jianbai frowned and watched the carriage go away.
At this moment, the hall master got down from his chair, walked a few steps to the main hall door, and said to the people in the yard: "There is an urgent matter for you to do now. Do you want to go?"
Everyone was just excited and excited. When they heard this, they all shouted, "Let's go, of course we have to go!"
"good!"
The hall master said: "Old Chen, take your people and go quickly-"
After saying the last few words, Brother Chen walked up to the hall master and whispered his order. After hearing it, Brother Chen immediately said, "Yes."
He brought his own team of people, all of whom were veterans who had joined the Earthly Immortal Society for more than half a year and were very loyal. The hall master looked at them, then at the people around him, and immediately saw the tall Tao Jianbai.
Tao Jianbai's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, if there is anything, let us go too!"
Several new members of the Earthly Immortal Society were eager to express their loyalty and said, "Yes, we are also willing to contribute to the Incense Society. If there is anything, leave it to us and we will do our best!"
The hall master nodded and said, "Okay, then, all of you follow."
"yes!"
Tao Jianbai and the others saluted the hall master, turned around and followed Brother Chen out.
The group walked through several alleys and finally reached the main road. There was a lot of traffic and people coming and going. Brother Chen kept saying to the people behind him, "Follow us closely, keep up."
Tao Jianbai walked up to him and said softly, "Brother, where are we going? What are we going to do?"
Brother Chen said, "Let's go to Jing'anfang."
"Jing'anfang? We don't have a branch there."
"No, it's just that something happened over there. Let's go over there and take a look."
"Something happened? What happened?"
