Locust

Chapter 84 Three Things

boom!The gate of the main cave opened, and the leader of the Stone Sect in a black robe came out.

Ten years hadn't left any marks on his face, and he still had the appearance of a handsome and burly youth.

The lifespan of a foundation cultivator is 240 years old. He is only at the age of knowing his destiny this year, so he can be considered a young man...

"The leader is out."

"See the leader!"

The three elders of the Stone Sect in the underground palace hurriedly paid a visit, the leader came out of the pass and the green locust gu was induced by itself, and they had been waiting here for a day in advance.

"You are exempt."

Cao Cuo sat on the stone chair at the main seat in the hall, and his spiritual sense sensed that there was a cemetery in the corner of the Baiyu underground palace, with a total of 47 tombstones, two of which were names he knew, Jintong and Wei Heng...

On the road, life and death are impermanent.

The Golden Boy was approaching the [-]th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and failed to break through the foundation building forcibly.

As for the monk who shot, he died under the joint efforts of the three tyrants and the puppet white general.

Over the years, Zhu Yige and Shijiao have been providing Cao Cuo with a large amount of practice resources, which is indispensable

Although the Stone Sect is secretive, there are disputes wherever there is money, and the loss of 47 people is already the best result of the collective efforts of everyone.

Cao Cuo asked calmly: "Is the compensation for the dead and injured disciples in place?"

Lu Qian replied: "Don't worry, the leader, those who have families have already been paid in place, and their descendants will be taken care of secretly by the church. As for those who are lonely, they will select orphans and record them under their names to inherit the incense..."

"That's good……"

Cao Cuo nodded lightly. Most of these believers are ordinary people of the Stone League who have no morals. If they join the Stone Sect, they will have the opportunity to break the curse of the Forty Limits. Their loyalty is extremely high, and they have made great contributions to the cause of the Stone Sect.

As for a few of them who had different intentions, they were immediately dealt with secretly after being sensed by the green locust. Naturally, there were no bones left, and they would not be buried in the underground palace...

The idea of ​​pension and inheritance of incense was proposed by Lu Qian on his own initiative. Regardless of whether this matter is meaningful to the deceased, it is better than nothing.

"Master."

Lu Qian took out a thick booklet and offered it with both hands: "Master, this is a summary of the affairs of the Stone Church over the years. It has been compiled into one volume for your reference."

"You guys did a good job..."

Cao took it by mistake, flipped through a few pages, and threw it to the three tyrants to study.

I practice with all my heart, and the three tyrants do all the chores, so I don't have to do everything myself.

For ten years, although Cao Cuo didn't care about things.

However, under the management of the four elders, Shijiao has been growing savagely.

Among the four patriarchs:

Lu Qian: He is in charge of personnel affairs and punishments. He holds great power. Every newcomer is trained by him. He is the most popular in the teaching...

Lu Jingnan: In charge of logistics construction, although he is unknown, he is careful in handling things. Cao Cuo's cultivation resources have never been in short supply, thanks to his good scheduling...

Hao Jiantong: In charge of intelligence work, there are only seven people under his command, but all of them have bones, and they are placed in various forces in Nanyi as secret agents...

They pass information through the green locusts, which are not very useful at present, but as long as the status of these dark children gradually improves, Hao will be one of the most well-informed monks in Nanyi.

Chu Hongxiu: Responsible for management and financial resources. Zhuyi Pavilion is Ming. It operates the business of elixir and demon bones and spiritual materials. It has become a large shop in Iron Cloud City. It also secretly controls the sales of [-] talismans every year through Houshan. channels, providing the Stone Sect with a steady stream of talisman money...

Everyone performs their own duties. Although the Stone Church has had some small twists and turns in the past ten years, overall, its development is fairly stable.

Cao Cuo pondered for a moment, and asked:
"It says in the brochure that there are three important matters that I need to deal with urgently. Please tell me the specific situation..."

"Master, the first thing is for me to say."

Hao Jiantong couldn't wait any longer, stepped out and replied:

"In the past few years, Chu Hongxiu and I have recruited a total of seven monks who have completed Qi training, provided Tongtian Pills and Foundation Establishment Danhou, and a total of three monks have entered the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

Upon hearing Tongtian Pill, Lu Jingnan and Lu Qian's expressions froze.

The death rate of Foundation Establishment exceeded [-]%. They seriously doubted the reliability of the Tongtian Pill, but Hao Jiantong and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators who were lucky enough to be promoted firmly believed in it, which is puzzling...

Hao Jiantong reported: "...these three foundation-building cultivators have disrespected the elders in the past few years and acted on their own.

"Okay, I know about this..."

Cao Cuo waved his hand and said casually: "If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. I will deal with this matter..."

Not long after the words were spoken, two green lights flew from the tunnel of the underground palace and landed in the underground palace, revealing two people in insect armor.

With a plop, the two of them knelt heavily on the ground, and the worm armor mask faded away, revealing two pale faces, it was hard to hide the horror in their eyes...

"Subordinate Ouyang Zhen, see the leader..."

"Subordinate Zhao Tuo, I have met the leader..."

Hao Jiantong was stunned for a moment, before he finished his words, the leader "invited" the two foundation-builders.

The two of them didn't seem to come here voluntarily. What kind of supernatural power is this?
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators buried their heads deeply, not daring to raise their heads, their hearts were terrified...

Since the two joined the Stone Sect, they have never met this mysterious leader. They only know that this person is just a foundation cultivator.

Therefore, after the two established the foundation, they thought that they were the same foundation establishment as the leader of the Stone Sect, and gradually acted perversely, not paying attention to the elders and canons of the religion.

From their point of view, even so, after the mysterious leader left the customs, he didn't dare to tell them what to do. Being able to maintain a superficial relationship between superiors and subordinates has already been counted as face for the leader...

At that time, the two of them can unite with another foundation-building cultivator, and the three foundation-building cultivators can work together to "persuade" the leader to release the Gu worms in his body, and that's all right...

As for the assets of the Stone Cult, of course it is shared by several people in the Foundation Establishment Realm. How can the leader be allowed to "spend willfully"? This is everyone's common property. As the leader, you must naturally know how to "share" The secret "contribute" out...

If all goes well, the three Foundation Establishment members may be able to evade the sect leader and put the Stone Cult on the "right track"...

However, all the plans and calculations died after the leader left the customs...

They were originally cultivating in the shrine building of Shiling City, but suddenly the green locust gu in their bodies took control of their bodies, and they flew straight into the white jade underground palace without stopping.

Seeing the three elders of the Stone Sect by his side, and a young man in black robes at the main seat, how could he not know that the person in front of him was the leader of his "heart and heart", and hurriedly saluted and greeted him.

It turned out that the teaching scriptures said: Once you join the Stone Sect, you plant a precious Gu, and life and death are in the hands of the leader.Not just talk.

Not only is life and death a matter of human hands, but now the two of them can't even control their own bodies...

This young leader can actually use Gu worms to control monks in the same realm. Is this the ability that a monk in the foundation establishment realm should have?
What kind of supernatural power is this?It's too scary...

No wonder he contacted Hao Jiantong many times, asking him to join the alliance formed by the three, but he didn't get a response. He probably knew the supernatural power of the leader, so he didn't dare to commit it.

The two of us knew it too late...

"You two friends are very polite."

Cao Cuo said softly: "You are all foundation-building monks, why do you just get up so quickly when you meet?"

"..."

The two wanted to get up, but they couldn't move a part of their body except their mouth.

"Why can't you get up? Do you have to kneel down to say something?"

The leader's tone was flat, the two were sweating profusely, a sense of fear of involuntary life and death struck, and the mind was frantically warning, there was murderous intent in these words...

"Master!"

Zhao Tuo was more alert and hurriedly begged for mercy:

"The subordinate is guilty. In the past few years, he has acted perversely and violated the religious rules many times..."

Ouyang Zhen also reacted:
"The subordinate is also guilty. He was greedy for small profits, and took some money that shouldn't be taken..."

The two of them thought: We are all foundation-building monks, one of the only four foundation-building fighters in the sect. If we voluntarily pleaded guilty and surrendered, it would be a light punishment at most. ...

"Oh?"

Cao Cuo stroked his forehead, and said in surprise: "There are still these things? Hao Jiantong, you are in charge of the intelligence of the teaching center, and you have to check with them one by one. You must not wrong them..."

"Yes, Master."

Hao Jiantong responded, turned around and looked coldly at the two kneeling on the ground, and said calmly:
"I hope you don't hide it, otherwise, the crime will be aggravated..."

"Don't dare, I must know everything..."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Hao, since we have admitted our mistake, we dare not hide it..."

……

After a full quarter of an hour, Hao Jiantong finally checked the mistakes that the two had narrated.

"Master, the verification has been completed."

Cao Cuo didn't listen too carefully, and knew that the two admitted only part of it.

He was using the illusion of Tongtian Wan to arouse the fear of the two of them just now, observing the subtle changes in it, and continued to perfect this strange hypnotic illusion.

This is how one should practice spells, one must never leave one's hands, only by accumulating over time can one achieve something...

Someone Cao casually asked:

"Lu Qian, you are in charge of the punishment of the teacher. These two people have made so many mistakes. According to the rules of the teacher, how should we deal with it?"

Lu Yunfei's face was serious, and he said sternly:
"According to the religious rules, these two people will undoubtedly die, and should be punished by the gu bite..."

"Leader, please forgive me! We will never dare again..."

"We are willing to be severely punished, and hope that the leader will be magnanimous and forgive us once..."

The two of them couldn't use any mana, but they could already move their upper body. They kowtowed and begged for mercy, their eyes frantically beckoned to Hao Jiantong to ask him to intercede.

Hao Jiantong did not disappoint the two of them either, after all, they were their referees, and these two are Foundation Establishment cultivators, the face of pleading should be given to...

He went out and cupped his hands and said: "Master, although these two people made a big mistake, they are foundation-building monks after all. They will be needed to contribute to the future of the sect, and they have not betrayed the sect. I hope to spare their lives and allow them to make up for their mistakes... "

Lu Qian interrupted: "If you don't kill these two people, it's not enough to correct the canon..."

Hao Jiantong continued to intercede: "Severe punishment is enough, the punishment for murder is too severe..."

……

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hao..."

"Thank you Hao Daoyou for your kindness..."

The two expressed their thanks quickly after hearing the words, thinking: That's right, we are familiar with this script, one sings a good face, the other sings a bad face, pick it up high, and put it down gently.

In this way, not only can it serve as a warning, but it can also attract people's hearts. This is a brilliant art of imperial servants. It seems that although the leader is young, his methods are quite sophisticated and he is very good at it...
