Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 1004 Compromise
There was a deathly silence in the hall. Fang Dasheng's strong statement shocked everyone. No one expected that things would develop to this point. For a while, everyone had different expressions and no one answered.
Meng Xian's face was extremely ugly, and his cheeks were flushed. For many years, since he became the headmaster, no one in Xuantang City has treated him with kindness. Even the enemies were polite, like this It was the first time in my life that I was scolded mercilessly in front of my face.
He wanted to straighten his back and fight back hard, but he really didn't have the confidence in his heart. He couldn't help but look at the others. He saw that the representatives of several other sects had different expressions at this moment and were silent. They were obviously afraid and ignored him. Looks asking for help.
Fang Dasheng strode to the door of the palace, paused, looked back and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, I heard that your ancestor was not ready to pay tribute to the spiritual stone. Fang sincerely advised him, hoping that your ancestor would not follow the wrong person and do something stupid in a moment." , otherwise there will be no regrets.”
When Qi Yuanjin saw Fang Dasheng looking directly at him, his heart was a little confused. He didn't have time to think too much and nodded quickly.
"Fellow Dao Meng, if the Qianjia Sect really has the intention of betraying you, you can kill the disciple you kidnapped." Fang Dasheng snorted coldly and left, leaving only the silent people in the hall sitting in their seats. Not a word was spoken.
Seeing him go away, Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed slightly and broke the silence and said: "Fang Dasheng is too rude. Fellow Daoist Meng, please don't get angry. Just treat him as a barking dog. Don't worry, this time I will report the matter to the sect truthfully. This is Donglai County, not a place where his Taixuan Sect covers the sky with one hand.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhang. Just now, all of you have seen that Fang Dasheng uttered wild words in front of so many people and wanted to kill our sect. Meng asked you to help me and sympathize with our sect's difficulties, so that I can kill Fang Dasheng's spirit." ”
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Meng, I will immediately tell the sect that if Tai Xuanzong wants to cover the sky with one hand, he has to ask us if we agree."
"The three counties of Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan are already unable to bear the squeeze and have raised their flags. Even if we are independent, what can he do to us?"
"That is, Taixuanzong suffered repeated setbacks in Beihai County, which shows that he is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. If they were really capable, they would have pacified Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan long ago. Thanks to him, Fang Dasheng still had the nerve to show off here."
Several people spoke with the same hatred. Qi Yuanjin sat down and said nothing, only occasionally nodding in agreement.
After a long time, everyone vented their anger, and Zhang Yi opened his mouth to leave everyone here to feast. However, after this incident, everyone had no intention of doing so, and each found a reason to leave.
………
In the Huajian Pavilion, in front of the majestic and majestic cave, a ray of light fell, revealing the figure of an old man with white hair at the temples. It was Qi Yuanjin, the leader of the String Sect.
"Master, you are back." A man came out quickly and bowed to salute.
"Junior Brother Zhao, please come and see me." Qi Yuanjin walked inside and said without looking back.
"Uncle Zhao went out to buy elixirs and was not at the mountain gate."
"Send more manpower and go find him immediately."
Seeing his solemn expression, the man felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
Soon, more than twenty escaping lights from the String Sect left the formation together.
………
In Fengwei Mountain, inside the cave, Xie Minghua was sitting cross-legged on a futon and was meditating with his eyes closed. Footsteps sounded outside, and then there was a knock on the door. After receiving a reply, a man came in from the outside and bowed: "Uncle Master. , Qi Yuanjin, the leader of the String Sect, is here and waiting outside."
"Oh?" Xie Minghua was surprised, then waved his hand: "Invite him to meet you in the meeting hall!"
"Yes." The man responded and left, came outside the formation, and led him to the main hall. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Xie Minghua finally arrived.
Qi Yuanjin stood up, smiled, bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for taking the liberty of disturbing me."
"Headmaster Qi has been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat." Xie Minghua returned the greeting and the two of them entered separately: "Headmaster Qi is here today. What do you want to say?"
"It's like this. In the early days, due to insufficient internal finances in recent years, our sect was unable to collect the tax spiritual stones to be handed over to your sect in time. Since the last time our Taoist friends came to collect the collection and returned empty-handed, everyone in our sect has been deeply worried. Feeling ashamed, I sorted out my belongings and worked hard for so many days. Fortunately, I finally collected the tax spiritual stones that should be paid. This time I took the liberty of disturbing you specifically to inform you of this matter. Fellow Taoists can send people to collect them at any time. "
Hearing this, Xie Minghua smiled slightly: "To be honest, Headmaster Qi, I hope your words are like looking forward to the rain during a severe drought. I have been impatient for a long time and have been waiting for my eyes to see through. Your sect's timely and proactive payment of taxes this time has also helped other people." The sect has set an example. This fellow Taoist can be said to be a help in times of need. I am deeply grateful. If you have any needs in the future, please feel free to ask. If we can, we will do our best.”
"It is our sect's duty to pay taxes and offerings. However, our sect feels deeply guilty for delaying this for so long, which has caused the collection of fellow Taoists to be hindered."
"Headmaster Qi understands the righteousness very well, and Xie admires him very much. Since fellow Taoist disciples are here today, let's get drunk before resting."
"Don't bother Taoist fellow Taoist, our sect still has many matters that I need to handle, so it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Qi Yuanjin stood up and said, "This matter is over, Qi will take his leave."
"I'll see you off, fellow Taoist." Xie Minghua also stood up and said.
The two of them left the hall.
"By the way, thank you fellow Taoist. I would like to ask your department to pay more attention to the attack on the resource area of our sect last time and help to inquire and investigate. Our sect has now rebuilt the formation there, but there are still disciples who are worried about what is going on behind the scenes. People will launch a second wave of attacks.”
"Don't worry, Headmaster Qi. I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter. Speaking of this matter, your sect, Taoist Zhao, said a few days ago that he would convene representatives of various sects in our pavilion to meet. Xie was busy with his affairs and forgot about this matter. Let’s do it! Let Headmaster Qi set a date and I’ll go out and invite them.”
"Fellow Taoist, don't bother. I think the banquet for all the Taoist friends from all sects will be forgotten. Our sect has sent people to meet with them and mentioned the matter. They promised to pay more attention to the investigation information for our sect. Others said Friends are very busy, there is no need to disturb them about our sect, please come back too!"
"Okay, since Headmaster Qi said so, I won't send you far away."
"Farewell." After Qi Yuanjin said this, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
………
At night, in Xie Minghua's cave, Huang Yuan came in from the outside. After taking his seat, he asked, "Junior brother Xie, did you hear that Qi Yuanjin of the String Sect has come?"
"Yes, he said that the tax collection stones have been prepared, and we can send people to collect them at any time. I think it is not too late, as it will lead to a long night and many dreams. I will set out tomorrow to pay the tax collection from the String Sect. I don't know what Senior Brother Huang means. ?”
"Okay." Huang Yuan nodded and replied: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was all thanks to the help of junior brother Xie. With a little trick, junior brother Xie defeated the String Sect easily. I'm really impressed."
"Senior Brother Huang is ridiculous, how dare Xie be greedy for God's merits? The reason why Qi Yuanjin paid the spirit stone so happily was mainly because he relied on Senior Brother Fang to strategize. At most, we are just the icing on the cake."
"Oh? Why did Brother Xie say this?"
"Senior Brother Huang must not know this yet! Three days ago, Zhang Yi, the head of the Mirror Moon Sect in this city, went to the banquet. At the same time, he also invited the heads of the Xingyue Sect and Canglang Sect, Huanyou Qianjia Sect, and the headmaster of the String Sect. Originally, he was I was ready to attack him, but Brother Fang righteously rebuked the head of the Qianjia Sect and warned that I would propose to the sect to abolish the Xuanmen status of the Qianjia Sect, which made Qi Yuanjin make a decision so quickly. "
"I see."
………
Jingyuan Pavilion, Taichu Mountain, in front of the light curtain, two rays of light shot down, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and Ma Long.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, the light curtain in front of them melted into a gap, and a man wearing Xuanye Sect clothes flashed out and welcomed the two people into the inner room.
In the solemn and majestic hall, Chen Jin walked in from the outside, smiled and bowed his head: "Two fellow Taoists are here, but they are not greeted from afar, so I am disrespectful."
"You're welcome, Headmaster Chen." Tang Ning stood up and returned the salute.
The three of them were seated separately.
Ma Long said: "Headmaster Chen, the two of us are here today to pay taxes for your sect. I don't know how prepared your sect is."
Before Chen Jin could speak, Tang Ning rushed in and said, "Last time, fellow Taoist said that it takes time to prepare. We respect your sect and have given enough time. Now that more than a month has passed, fellow Taoist will not tell us that the spirit stone Not ready yet!”
Chen Jin said: "To be honest with you two fellow Taoists, our sect has been busy day and night preparing the spiritual stones to be handed over to your sect since the last time you two left. However, there are too many, and we were unable to collect them all at this time. We only collected them together." 70% is enough. I hope your lord can give me some more time. Is that okay?"
The two of them looked at each other, and Tang Ning's face darkened: "Headmaster Chen, aren't you kidding us? How come your sect has been preparing for more than a month and still can't produce a mere 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones?"
"Fellow Taoist Tang, please calm down. We do have difficulties. As you know, when we had conflicts with the Netherworld Sea Organization, many of our sect's resource areas were attacked by them and were severely damaged. It is difficult to recover for a while. In recent years, It has just begun to gradually stabilize, and in recent years some of our profits have been replaced by them, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tangning interrupted him: "Headmaster Chen, we have already heard these clichés last time, so you don't need to repeat them again. We came here today not to hear these words from you, we all Old friend, there’s no need to pretend to be confused, just say it clearly!”
"You and I both know very well that your sect's so-called financial constraints are just an excuse. You just don't want to continue paying the tribute taxes paid by our sect."
