At the beginning, the reason why yuqingzong wanted to annex Jinguang school was not only the need of its own development, but also to solve its worries.
You should know that at that time, the jade qingzong had just been promoted to the realm of Yuanshen, which meant that the jade qingzong also stepped into the threshold of the second rate sect.
However, the "second rate sect" is just a name. The real foundation of Yuqing sect itself is still the foundation of the original third rate sect. If we develop step by step, let alone to this extent, it will take decades or hundreds of years to reach the scale of Qingyue Jianzong.
The yuqingzong annexed the Jinguang sect, the resources of the two schools were integrated, and the talents were supplemented to some extent. Although it was not comparable to the real second rate sect, it saved at least more than ten years of accumulation time.
At the same time, we have gathered the people of the golden light sect, which also saves them from being out of control and going to extremes. Although those people, that is, those who refine gas and build the foundation, no one can be sure that no one can make a difference in the future. Ye Zan doesn''t want to use the means of cutting the grass and removing the roots. It can be said that the people of the golden light sect are also Yuqing disciples, so they just close up, which can kill two birds with one stone.
But now, the development of Yuqing sect is on the right track. It is no worse than other second-class sects. Naturally, there is no need to risk universal condemnation to annex wuzhu sect. After all, the annexation of the golden light sect has a reasonable excuse. The annexation of the wuzhu sect is purely good, not much, and it will cause coquettishness in vain.
After the ceremony, when Duke Peng sat down in a guest seat, Wu Changsheng asked with a kind tone: "I don''t know what''s important about martial uncle Peng''s coming this time?"
Peng Gong''s face showed a wisp of bitter smile. His expression was somewhat embarrassed. He arched his hand and said, "Wu Zhangjiao, I really have something to ask for next time."
Peng Gong can''t help but be embarrassed. Think about the past and look at the present. It has only been a few years. Yu qingzong, who was suppressed by the two factions'' run, has now become an existence that needs to be looked up to. That feeling is like a bully who always bullied people when he was a child, but when he grew up, he had to beg the person he bullied to give him a bite to eat. Although the other party doesn''t have any intention to calculate the old account, anyone who still has a little sense of shame can''t help but be embarrassed.
To be honest, if not for the sake of the sect and the disciples in the sect, Peng Gongzhen didn''t want to step into Yuqing sect at all.
"How did Uncle Peng say this? My two schools share the same root. If there is anything, just say it. As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse. Don''t say anything about asking or not." Wu Changsheng didn''t see any satisfaction on his face, and his tone was quite sincere.
Although in the past, when yuqingzong was a third rate sect, Wu Changsheng probably thought more than once that when yuqingzong developed, you must ask me what I must do in front of me. However, at this time, Wu Changsheng has lost his mind. The two sides are completely in two worlds. What''s the meaning of worrying about those.
Billionaires go to show off their wealth to a beggar and get psychological pleasure from it? How abnormal is the psychology of such a person!
Of course, Wu Changsheng doesn''t intend to settle the old account, which doesn''t mean that he really wants to help wuzhu sect regardless of return, so he still said "within his ability". This "within my ability" does not mean going all out, but something that can be explained according to my heart. Even if I pick up a needle from the ground, I can say that I really have no time, so I can''t do what I can.
Of course, Peng Gong can also hear the meaning of "within our ability". After all, this is a commonly used polite remark. However, he can''t care about anything. At least people say so. It''s better to refuse directly.
"Wu Zhangjiao, yes, I sent..." Peng Gong then wanted to say his purpose.
However, at this time, a disciple of Yuqing came to report that Shang Hongzhen, the ancestor of Yuanying of Qingyue Jianzong, was asking for an audience outside the mountain gate.
Qingyue Jianzong also came? Hearing this news, ye Zan was not too surprised. After all, he had issued "recruitment enlightenment" for a while. It is not clear whether Peng Gong of wuzhu sect read the announcement, but Shang Hongzhen of Qingyue Jianzong probably came for the announcement.
Qingyue Jianzong, ranked last in the second rate sect, was able to stay in the ranks of the second rate sect because no one knew whether their original God was living or dead. Anyway, Qingyue Jianzong said it was closed. Once closed, it was closed for hundreds of years. It''s not easy for others to test. Even if they are still second rate. Anyway, at least the foundation of Qingyue Jianzong is still there. Maybe someone will be promoted to the realm of Yuanshen one day.
Soon, under the guidance of Yuqing''s disciples, Shang Hongzhen also came to Yuqing hall.
Seeing that Peng Gong was there, Shang Hongzhen didn''t look surprised. Instead, he seemed relieved and looked at Peng Gong with a knowing smile.
However, Shang Hongzhen''s smile made Peng Gong laugh inexplicably. It''s just that it''s not easy to ask what at this time. We can only wait to see what medicine Shang Hongzhen sells.
"I''ve seen Wu Zhangjiao and ye Daoyou!" Shang Hongzhen walked into the middle and saluted Wu Changsheng and ye Zan.
"You''re welcome, Taoist monk. We haven''t been far to meet you. Please forgive elder Shang." Wu Changsheng got up and said to Shang Hongzhen.
"I dare not. I''ll take the liberty to come here this time. Please don''t want to see strange talents," Shang Hongzhen said hurriedly.
After the two sides saw the ceremony, Shang Hongzhen was let next to Peng Gong. Shang Hongzhen arched his hand and said, "I met Peng Daoyou. As soon as I got the news, I rushed over. Unexpectedly, it was still one step late for Peng Daoyou."
Duke Peng stood up in a confused circle, bowed his hand, and said, "I''ve seen Shang Daoyou. What news does Daoyou say?"
However, Shang Hongzhen smiled and didn''t answer Peng Gong. He didn''t have any ideas, but now this occasion is not suitable for them to talk too much. So Shang Hongzhen just shook his head and smiled. Thinking that Peng Gong still couldn''t put down his face, he turned and sat down in the chair next to Peng Gong.
Shang Hongzhen hasn''t started to talk about things yet. Then Yuqing disciple came and said that master Wuchen, an old monk of Guangfa sect, also came.
Wu Changsheng is a little strange. After all, ye Zan hasn''t had time to tell him about the "recruitment enlightenment" in the virtual divine world. But when people came, they couldn''t shut them out. He immediately asked his disciples to invite master Wuchen in.
Watching Yuqing''s disciple go out, Shang Hongzhen whispered with a smile, "ha ha, unexpectedly, the old monk without anger is not slow."
Peng Gong was more and more confused. He couldn''t help but turn his body and press his voice to Shang Hongzhen and asked, "Shang Daoyou, do you know why master Wuchen came here?"
Shang Hongzhen glanced at Peng Gong and said, "isn''t it the same as your purpose and mine?"
"You and me?" Peng Gongming was puzzled.
Seeing Peng Gong''s expression, Shang Hongzhen was a little strange and asked, "why, isn''t it because of the announcement in the virtual divine world that Peng Daoyou came here?"
"Announcement? What announcement? I''m just..." Peng Gongyu was confused.
Although Shang Hongzhen and Peng Gong talked in a low voice, it was only due to etiquette. In fact, we are all the ancestors of Yuanying. As long as we speak, no matter how low-pressure the voice is, others can hear it.
Ye Zan over there heard the conversation between the two people, and immediately realized that Shang Hongzhen did come because of the "recruitment enlightenment", but Peng Gong just came by a little chance. So, when the two stopped talking, he added, "Peng Daoyou doesn''t seem to know about the announcement. Can I introduce it to Peng Daoyou?"
"Oh, then elder Lao ye," said Peng Gong hurriedly.
"Peng Daoyou must know that our sect is building rail transit for secular countries. Although we have completed the projects of Datang country and Daning country, we are really unable to face more projects in the future with the help of our yuqingzong family. Therefore, I would like to ask you for help. Of course, our yuqingzong will not let you contribute in vain." Ye Zan''s introduction was very tactful. It was clearly a "Recruitment" thing, but it was said to ask them for help, which was also to take care of the faces of monks.
Peng Gong is not stupid. Although Ye Zan didn''t elaborate on the details, he also knew what ye Zan meant from this remark. However, after understanding Ye Zan''s meaning, he didn''t immediately say yes, but seemed a little hesitant.
In fact, when Peng Gong came to yuqingzong this time, he really wanted to ask yuqingzong for help. He hoped that yuqingzong could support a group of Lingdao of wuzhu sect for the sake of the "same spirit and branches" of the five sects in those years. After all, with the status and financial resources of wuzhu sect, it is too difficult to get Lingdao.
However, Peng Gong wanted to ask yuqingzong to help, but he didn''t want to work for yuqingzong himself. When he wanted to come, he was also the grandparent of Yuanying. If he could pull down his face and ask for help, he would have given each other face. Now, the other party actually wants to let himself work for the other party. This is where to put his face and wuzhu sect!
At this time, disciple Yuqing also introduced master Wuchen of Guangfa sect into the hall.
After the ceremony, mage Wuchen was given a seat and sat with monk Peng Gong Hongzhen. This time, in addition to the Jinguang sect, which has been annexed by the Yuqing sect, the once five sects are gathered together again.
Seeing Peng Gong''s hesitant expression on his face, ye Zan was too lazy to spend more words on him. Instead, he looked at master Shang Hongzhen and master Wuchen and said, "Taoist friend Shang, master Wuchen, I don''t know whether they came this time for the announcement in the virtual divine world?"
If there were only Shang Hongzhen and Peng gong at the scene, Shang Hongzhen would be a little embarrassed to admit when he saw the expression of Peng Gong. However, mage Wuchen also came back, which was another backing. He no longer had any concerns. He nodded and said, "what Taoist ye said is right. I''m coming to your sect this time because of the announcement in the virtual divine world. I''m the same as the orthodox sect, and I''ve always been in the same spirit. Since your sect needs our help, how can we turn a blind eye to it."
Shang Hongzhen also followed Ye Zan''s words and said that he came to work for yuqingzong and came to help yuqingzong. Of course, ye Zan doesn''t care much about this statement. Anyway, as long as he achieves his own goal, how can he say it is so important?
Therefore, after hearing Shang Hongzhen''s words, ye Zan arched his hand with a smile and said, "I''ll thank Shang Daoyou first."
The last mage, Wuchen, although there was no expression on his face, also said: "what your sect did is to benefit all the people in the world. Naturally, we who interpret Buddhism are duty bound."
"Thank you, mage Wuchen!" Ye Zan arched his hand and said.
When Peng Gong heard the two men''s statement, he still couldn''t make up his mind. After thinking about it, he decided to say the purpose of his trip first. So, when ye Zan finished his conversation with them, he got up and said to Wu Changsheng, "Master Wu, I''m not here for the announcement. If you have any trouble, please forgive me."
"Uncle Peng, don''t worry about it. Just tell me what''s going on." Wu Changsheng said politely.
Seeing that Wu Changsheng''s attitude had not changed, Peng Gong was a little relieved and thought: after all, the two have the same root and the same origin, which is not comparable to Qingyue Jianzong and Guangfa Zong. Maybe this time things can be done. Thinking of this, Duke Peng bowed his hand again and said, "Wu Zhangjiao, I heard that the Lingdao came from your sect this time. Therefore, I want to borrow a batch of Lingdao from your sect. Can you?"
Some people are like this. They come to you to borrow money and say that they can''t live any longer. However, if you ask him to work for you to earn the money, he feels ashamed again. Peng Gong obviously thinks so. He doesn''t feel ashamed to borrow money. It''s shameful to work for you to earn this money.
This kind of people, to put it bluntly, just want to take advantage, but don''t want to pay a little. If you really lend him money, you can''t expect him to repay it. He will say the famous saying "why should I repay the money I borrowed with my ability".
And more importantly, what Peng Gong wants to "borrow" is not money, but Lingdao. In short, it is food, something that will disappear after eating. There are always some people who borrow some vinegar today, borrow some oil tomorrow, borrow some eggs and borrow some meat, but they never wanted to return it when they borrowed it. To say "borrow" is actually to beg. Just saying "borrow" won''t lose face, and I don''t owe you a favor. I''ve calculated everything.
"Well, since Peng Daoyou is also for Lingdao, why don''t you consider the announcement?" Shang Hongzhen asked with some discomfort. We all have to work to earn Lingdao, but as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you get Lingdao with the word "borrow". Where is this going to put us?
