The world of Taoism

Chapter 242 Ten Thousands of People Believe, Shame Will Come!
Qiu Hao felt a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Xuan's words.

But think about it.

Zhou Xuan is fledgling now, so hastily confronting several famous sects, this is simply a way to kill.

The two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and then Qiuhao bid farewell and left.

In the next few months, an accident took everyone by surprise and disrupted many people's arrangements.

18 years in Taian.

The Shanyi cave masters in Linshan and Le'an counties rebelled, and the leader of the bandits called himself General Shenen, engulfed tens of thousands of refugees, and occupied Linshan County.

The governor of Zhennan sent troops to suppress it, and Lian Jiaping's southern army was transferred to the front line.Because there are temples in Wuxiadao, part of its power is also distributed.

The rebel forces believe in evil gods, and at the same time there are people who are skilled in witchcraft, so it is estimated that they will not be able to solve it for a while.

On the contrary, the pressure on Zhou Xuan and Tianzun Shenxiao decreased a lot.

Zhou Xuan came to a wing room next to the main hall of Shenxiao Palace.

This is the place to handle affairs, and now many things need to be handled by yourself.

Open the information about the Dragon Club.

This gang controls a small part of the wharf in Yangzhou City, with 10 taels a year, which is the biggest source of income for the Zhou family.

"How many people will Qinglong have?" Zhou Xuan turned to look at Wednesday.

Thinking for a while on Wednesday, he said, "The Azure Dragon Society is temporarily in charge of the six of us. Although there are tens of thousands of coolies, there are at most 1000 minions. These are mobs, and they don't make a difference."

"Have you found any good seedlings in it?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Zhou Xuan wants to expand the following team
The six people on Monday can only be regarded as their own personal guards, and they have to deal with everything, after all, they can't get away.

You must know that their most important function is to protect Zhou Xuan himself. .

And more importantly, although these few people are literate, they are still illiterate in the final analysis.

If Zhou Xuan wanted to expand his power, he must recruit more people.

"There are two! Gan Wei and Wenshu. I have already promoted them to be the vice-leaders of the Azure Dragon Club."

The former of these two people is a poor family in the city, and they have excellent water skills. At most, they once ate a strange fish when they were young and could breathe in the water.

Later, a group of water bandits was assembled, and they could be regarded as calling the wind and rain on the Yangtze River.

It took a lot of effort on Wednesday to take them down.

"How about this, you push down the position of the Azure Dragon Association, Gan Wei will be the head of the gang, let him come to see me tomorrow." Zhou Xuan said.

Then his men retreated.

"master!"

Uncle Liu knocked on the door.

The door opened automatically, and an old man walked in.

Liu Bo is much older than before, and he is now over 90 years old.

Liu Bo was able to live until now thanks to Zhou Xuan's elixir.

The elderly are not tonic, but they can dissolve the elixir into the daily drinking water, drink it every day, and it can also make the body strong.

Behind Uncle Liu was a man, about 40 years old, with lacquered eyes, elegant demeanor, and a well-read poem.

"Zhou He pays homage to the master..." The middle-aged man knelt down.

"Get up." Zhou Xuan smiled.

This Zhou He is actually Zhou Xuan's distant relative, a small landlord, and his status as a person.

Zhou Xuan came to join him after he made a fortune. According to his seniority, Zhou Xuan should be regarded as Zhou He's cousin.

Zhou He stood up and secretly looked at Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan had a plump and handsome appearance, although he was wearing casual clothes, he could faintly reveal an extraordinary demeanor.

Seeing this, Zhou He was secretly shocked.

Zhou He originally defected here, not because of Zhou Xuan's official position.

What's more important is that Zhou Xuan hitched up with King Chunjiang, a member of the royal family, and wanted to come here to gain some fame, but he didn't care much about Zhou Xuan, a young man.

Zhou Xuan asked some questions, and Zhou He responded respectfully, not daring to rely on his elders just because of his age.

After these days of contact, Zhou He discovered that the Zhou family turned out to be a legendary monk family.

Originally thought that the Zhou family was a vassal of the Chunjiang Palace, but now it seems the opposite.

The mastermind behind all this is the young man in front of him, so Zhou He dare not make any mistakes.

"Since you are proficient in arithmetic and know a lot about farming, from now on you will be the steward of the Zhou family's outer courtyard, and at the same time will be in charge of the Qinglong Society's documents." Zhou Xuan laughed.

"Thank you, master!" Zhou He said excitedly.

After Zhou He withdrew, Zhou Xuan looked at Uncle Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, you only need to take care of the internal affairs of the Zhou family from now on, so you don't have to worry about other things."

"It's okay, I'm old and useless." Uncle Liu smiled wryly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

"Don't!" Zhou Xuan hurriedly stopped, "The Zhou family can't do without Uncle Liu, and these boys need more discipline from you, Uncle Liu."

An old house where a treasure.

Some unspoken rules and the knack of managing the family are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and these need to be managed by Uncle Liu.

After Uncle Liu left, Zhou Yi brought three people over.

This person is the second pillar of the temple Zhu Wang, and the other temple Zhu Zhang Dafu.

When Wang Erzhu saw Zhou Xuan, he immediately knelt down.

"Meet the Palace Master!"

Wang Erzhu knew that the status of this person in front of him was second only to Tianzun Shenxiao, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

Then he talked about the current situation of Shenxiao Temple. This temple is relatively far from Yangzhou City, and it belongs to the suburbs, and there is not much traffic.

However, because it is the first temple, there are many worshippers.

Now the configuration of a temple is one temple blessing, three sacrifices, and twelve Taoist boys.

These people are all recruited from believers, and their beliefs are very pious.

Both temple blessings and sacrifices have talismans, but only temple blessings are eligible to practice lethal spells.

Priests only know some spells to cure diseases and save lives.

In order to strengthen the believers' beliefs, Zhou Xuan specially learned four small spells: Hemostatic Curse, Breaking Talisman, Stomach Pain Relief Talisman, and Sending Son Charm, etc.

These spells are very common and are not considered inheritance.

It can only deal with some minor injuries, and ordinary doctors can also do it.

However, these spells are closely related to the lives of ordinary people.

And the advantage lies in quick results and no cost, so relying on this to attract a large number of believers.

This time, besides reporting the situation, the two of them came to deliver incense money.

Part of the incense money is transported here, and the other part is responsible for opening warehouses to release porridge to help the common people.

It can be regarded as a different kind of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Zhou Xuan gave orders, and after the two left, there was one last blessing.

A figure came out from behind Zhou Yi.

This person is short in stature, wearing an emerald green dress, fair skin, delicate features, young, with a delicate and cute temperament. There is a yellow mouse lying on his shoulder.

It turned out to be an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

And it was Zhou Xiaoya.

That's right, the last temple wish is Zhou Xiaoya.

Because of her young age and the help of the weasel's ability to predict, she is regarded as a goddess by believers.

Now it controls the largest of the three Shenxiao Tianzun temples, and it is also the temple with the most believers.

In order to ensure Zhou Xiaoya's safety, Zhou Xuan sent six Tiangang guards to protect her.

Zhou Xuan didn't have anything to say, he had already given all his instructions, he just exchanged pleasantries, and then asked people to leave.

After everyone left, Zhou Xuan thought quietly.

Now the Zhou family has two factions, one is the Miaozhu faction under Shenxiao Tianzun.

The other is Liujia, Tiangangwei, and Azure Dragon Society that Zhou Xuan currently controls.

After the death of King Chunjiang, most of the power dissipated, and what Zhou Xuan gained was only the righteousness of the officials, not as much as imagined.

Now Zhou Xuan is regarded as a top powerful force in the county and a second-rate force in the state.

After all, it is one level lower than those big forces, so now it is still the main thing to develop with peace of mind.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan thought.

In the Crystal Palace, Tianzun Shenxiao opened his eyes.

Inducted the strong belief in the three temples, as well as the belief in the Taishang Shenxiao Dharma.

The power of faith is combined, and the white light shines brightly.

Boom!

There was a loud noise like the opening of heaven and earth, and a piece of land was slowly formed.

Ten thousand people believe in it, and it will be done in the dark!
