Chapter 14: All parties are planning, the wind is rising in the green mountains (please collect, recommend and read)
Qiao Xuan, Wen Renjie and Kong Gongzi looked at each other.
They are not fools who have been dazzled by the fame of slaying demons and demons all over the world.
They all have their own demands and are gathered here for their own benefit.
Qiao Xuan wanted to find an official position for himself and his disciples, and to seek stability in the future.
Wen Renjie did it for the sake of fame and Qingshan County's commitment to the practice.
Kong Kongzi wanted to become famous and Qingshan County gave him several resources he needed.
Xu Xiao did it to help his close friend and the sect’s reputation.
Not to mention Jiang Sheng, if it weren’t for the demon from the Taiping River being too close to his Qingpingshan Dojo, he wouldn’t be too lazy to care about the life and death of Qingshan County.
It can be said that several people get together because of related interests, and everything is discussed in public.
On someone else's territory, you have to enter someone else's secret room. If something really happened, no one would be able to notice the smelly body.
Furthermore, although Zhang Qing trusts Xu Xiao the most, Jiang Sheng was personally invited by Zhang Qingyun, the magistrate of Qingshan County. Who can say that there is no collusion between them?
What if slaying demons and slaying demons is a lie, and trying to catch them all in one fell swoop is real?
While the few people were thinking, Xu Xiao had already entered the darkroom first.
Jiang Sheng felt it carefully and then said: "If this is your secret room in Qingshan County, I am naturally too lazy to accompany you."
"But Lan Yue Sect is a Qingzhou Jindan sect, and Pindao is still willing to believe it. Miss Zhang, don't let Pindao down."
After hearing this, Wen Renjie laughed: "What Taoist Master Jiang said is true. That’s right. The Lanyue Sect’s reputation is certainly trustworthy.”
When Master Kong heard what Renjie said, he smiled softly: “Haha, that’s right! If we don’t even have this kind of trust, Then why talk about slaying demons?"
Old man Qiao Xuan also smoked a dry cigarette and nodded in agreement.
After several people entered the secret room, Zhang Qing followed them into the secret room.
The secret room was built about ten feet under the backyard of the county government office, making it very secretive.
Obviously this secret room was just opened by Xu Xiao. The interior furnishings are simple and there is magic power flowing on the walls. It is obviously a one-time secret room.
After arriving in the secret room, Zhang Qing first poured tea for several people, and then took out a map of Qingshan County and placed it in front of several people.
Jiang Sheng looked at the map of Qingshan County, which described the mountains and rivers within Qingshan County in great detail.
Qingshan County borders Qingping Mountain to the east and Taiping River to the south. In addition to Qingshan County, there are fifteen towns within the county, with more than 200,000 people, nearly half of whom live in Qingshan County. Among them, the rest are scattered in various towns.
Qingping Town is located at the junction of Qingping Mountain and Taiping River, with thousands of households, so it is considered unique.
Zhang Qing saw that none of the people touched the teacups and didn't care. Instead, he pointed to the map and said, "Guys, please take a look. The Taiping River crosses our Qingshan County and flows through seven towns. It can be said that Nearly half of our Qingshan County is along the Taiping River."
"Although there are many villages and towns along the Taiping River, the location where the River God Festival is held in our county is fixed every year, and it is in Donghe Town."< br>
Jiang Sheng looked at the location of Donghe Town, which was closest to the Taiping River. Moreover, this town was extremely prosperous, with a large population and many roads. It was indeed a good place.
Zhang Qing continued: "Of course, that's not what I want to say."
Zhang Qing looked at the few people with burning eyes and said: "Everyone, I, Qingshan County, have issued a hero post to summon the heroes of Qingzhou to come to Qingshan County to kill demons and eliminate demons. This matter has made a big fuss, and everyone must have thought that we would kill them at the River God Festival. Kill the demon."
A dark look flashed in Mr. Kong's eyes: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
Zhang Qing said with bright eyes. His eyes were filled with self-satisfaction: "If everyone knows something, it is not a secret. How can it be successful if something everyone knows is possible?"
"Although the demons in the Taiping River have always been in the river, It is deep in sleep and only wakes up during the annual River God Festival, but how can we ensure that it is not exposed to the outside world? ”
"Therefore, our real time to take action is not on the day of the River God Festival, but before the River God Festival! Only by taking surprise can we defeat the enemy!"
After listening to Zhang Qing's words, Jiang Sheng and others nodded. .
Indeed, Zhang Qing’s plan was very clever. He first caused a stir and made everyone focus on the River God Festival, and then secretly secretly attacked Chen Cang and took the opportunity to attack the demon. This has to be said. It's a neat trick.
Simple, but very effective.
Wen Renjie was silent for a moment and asked: "So, where are the others?"
Zhang Qing said decisively: "Bait! Father will tell them that we will attack the demons at the River God Festival to see if there are any hidden eyes and ears of the demons."
"After that, I will lead them in advance If there are demon eyes and ears among them, the demon will surely wake up early, and the demon will be relieved and continue to sleep. , after they test out the reality of the demon’s methods, a few of them will take action to kill the demon!”
As he spoke, Zhang Qing’s pretty face showed a rare killing intent: “The demon will never do it! Think of it, there will be a killing move after the killing move!"
Qiao Xuan and the others looked at Zhang Qing, it was hard to imagine that such a young girl could come up with such a plan!
"You really underestimated everyone in the world. Miss Zhang actually used the lives of so many monks as bait. It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance." Qiao Xuan looked at Zhang Qing in surprise. Jiang Sheng said calmly: "But Miss Zhang's method is the most reliable, isn't it?"
"Who can be sure about the water monster that can control hundreds of miles of rivers? What is its true strength? If we don’t let them test it first, do we still have to wait for a few people to take risks?”
After saying this, Qiao Xuan fell silent.
Indeed, one always has to test the demon’s strength.
And temptation requires chess pieces, and the chess pieces are destined to be sacrificed.
Who among them is not a famous casual cultivator in Qingzhou?
Who is willing to be the pawn destined to be sacrificed?
So everything is doomed. The reason why Zhang Qing kept so many qi training and casual cultivation is to use it as a chess piece for testing.
Wen Renjie said: "What Ms. Zhang said makes sense. Someone is needed to explore the way. Someone thinks this is feasible."
Young Master Kong also looked matter-of-factly: "Those junior Qi practitioners gathered around like flies smelling honey, don't they just want to become famous in Qingzhou? Since they want to become famous, they have to bear the corresponding risks and costs."
Even Xu Xiao from Lan Yue Sect did not question this matter, and obviously did not care about the lives of those Qi Practitioners.
From the beginning to the end, these people did not do it out of compassion, but out of self-interest to avoid disaster.
And this is the truest aspect of this world: at all times, strength speaks and interests are connected.
Without strength and background, you are destined to be just a chess piece, not even a chess piece.
Have you not seen how many casual cultivators are being used as cannon fodder by profit?
How many ordinary people who admire the immortal way are treated as pigs and sheep and sold to the evil sect and turned into piles of consumables?
Even the righteous Taoism maintains nothing more than an orthodoxy. If it does not involve oneself, who would have the extra kindness to take care of all living beings?
Jiang Sheng has never been a kind-hearted person, let alone pity others!
At the same time, in Dongjun City, even late at night, some parts of the county city were still brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
There are also the largest number of city guards patrolling near these places. These places even have special inland rivers that separate them from other areas, demonstrating their extraordinary status.
These places are the residences of the Dongjun Cultivation Family.
The so-called practicing families are all local tycoons who have been passed down for hundreds of years.
Either the family has had foundation-building monks for several generations, or there is an ancestor of Zifu sitting in charge, who can be said to be the local leader of East County and the actual controller of the place.
In today's world, whether it is Qi State in the Eastern Continent, Wei State, Chu State or other countries, the imperial court and aristocratic families rule the world together.
The royal family is the largest cultivating family in the entire Qi Kingdom, and the aristocratic family is the local cultivating family second only to the royal family.
Although the governor of Dongjun was appointed by the Qi royal family, he had to cooperate with these practicing families when he arrived in Dongjun.
Otherwise, he would not be able to govern at all, let alone manage local tax resources.
Therefore, these cultivating families in Dongjun, especially those with the ancestors of Zifu in charge, are actually equivalent to the local emperors in Dongjun.
The Cha family is a famous spiritual family in Dongjun. Zha Liangcai, the ancestor of Zifu, is in charge. The Cha family has been prominent for more than two hundred years.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Cha family can still be prominent for another two hundred years.
Even if no one in the future generations can open up the Purple Mansion, maintaining the foundation built from generation to generation can still ensure the prosperity and wealth of the family.
At this time, Zha Liangcai, the ancestor of the Zifu of the Zha family, was talking to a jade statue in the secret room.
"Did you know that the magistrate of Qingshan County is going to eradicate the river god of the Taiping River. If your clone wants to continue to absorb the incense of Qingshan County, you must make preparations early." Zha Liangcai said. Drinking a cup of spiritual tea, I feel very comfortable.
The jade statue made a voice: "I know. No matter how you say it, my clone still has the strength of the early Zifu. As long as you, the Zifu realm, don't take action and just rely on a group of Qi practitioners to build the foundation, Can’t take my clone.”
"That's the best."
Zha Liangcai said, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said seemingly casually, "Speaking of which, you and I have been working together for so many years, and I am really curious about you. "Who are you?"
"The clones of the Thirteen Purple Houses in the early stages are really scary."
The jade statue said angrily: "You. Why do you care? Just know that I can help you form a pill!"
"As I said before, if you help me absorb the incense of faith in Dongjun, I will help you form a pill. Do you still want to regret it?”
"Don't forget, no matter it's Lanyue Sect, Qingyun Sect or Tianjian Sect, they will not allow the fourth golden elixir force to appear in Qingzhou."
Zha Liangcai choked at these words and his face turned pale. He looked ugly for a moment but calmed down again in the blink of an eye: "That's why I will cooperate with you."
