Chapter 439: Yu Qingzong's Response
? Letting Wang Lianshan advance to the Nascent Soul Realm first is not due to Peng Gong's partiality. But just as he said, there are too many affairs of the Wuzhu faction now, and Wang Lianhai, who is the head of the school, needs to deal with it. Who said that the Wuzhu faction has no talents who can stand up to it. Another reason is that Wang Lianshan, as the "diplomat" of the Wuzhu Sect, is not worthy of the second-rate sect of the Wuzhu Sect.
The "diplomats" of the Taoist sect are generally called the deacons and elders of the Hall of Rites, and the Hall of Rites can be regarded as the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" of a sect. It can be said that for a cultivating sect, the hall of rites and the deacons and elders of the hall of rites are like the facade of the sect, after all, they have to deal with other sects.
The Wuzhu Sect is already a second-rate sect. If you still use a Jindan master as the deacon elder of the ceremony hall to deal with those same second-rate sects, you will not only be underestimated by the other party, but will also make the other party think that they have not received enough attention. respect.
In fact, put aside all imaginary things, and simply talk about the problem of realm. In this world, the realm of a monk is basically linked to his status. The deacons and elders of the rite hall of those second-rate sects are all Yuanying Patriarchs, but you, the Golden Core Grandmaster, ran to talk to them. This is directly shorter than others, so what weight can words have?
Therefore, out of these considerations, it is undoubtedly very necessary for Wang Lianshan to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm first, and it is also the most beneficial to the Wuzhu Sect.
As the head of the sect, Wang Lianhai naturally understood Peng Gong's considerations, so he immediately bowed his head and saluted, and said very respectfully: "Master, please rest assured, this disciple will live up to the high expectations of the master, and I must let my Wuzhu Sect be a second-rate disciple." Stand firm in the ranks.”
"Well, let's go." Peng Gong nodded in satisfaction, and waited until Wang Lianhai's figure had completely disappeared before picking up the gift slips impatiently. Just kidding, even if it is a congratulatory gift from other sects, it will not be as heavy as Ziyangzong and other five sects, but mosquito legs are still meat.
More than ten days later, a news gradually spread among the sects. The content of the news was about the weight of gifts received by the Wuzhu Sect. The news was not very detailed, it didn't say what those gifts were, it only said that the gifts from Ziyang Sect and other five sects were far more than normal gifts, enough for the Black Bamboo Pie to eat.
Immediately afterwards, the Wuzhu Sect immediately came forward to explain, saying thank you to the fellow sects for their concern, the congratulatory gift is their own business, please do not make random guesses, etc. In short, it just showed his attitude, the news was not released by himself, but at the same time, he did not deny the authenticity of the news.
Ziyangzong and other five sects also stood up and declared that their congratulatory gift to Wuzhu Sect was only out of help to fellow sects. Although it was a bit thicker than other sects' congratulatory gifts, there was absolutely no news It's so exaggerated.
However, anyone with a little brain can tell that there must be some kind of conspiracy between Wuzong and Wuzhu Sect.
And it was aimed at Yu Qingzong. It's just that most of the sects don't care about their own affairs and wait to watch the show.
As for Yu Qingzong, after receiving this news, he would of course feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"These five sects are really willing to spend their money. These congratulatory gifts are enough to save the Wuzhu sect ten years." The news Wu Changsheng got was not the kind of vague news circulated by the outside world, but a very detailed one. A summary of each gift list.
Although Yuqingzong is an orthodox sect, the so-called "defense against others is indispensable", so naturally it will use some means⊥Like the world of science and technology, even in peacetime, countries will tacitly send spies to each other , Do everything possible to obtain the secrets of other countries. It's the same in the Shenhua Domain, and it's not just the countries of mortals, it's the same even in the cultivation sects.
Let's talk about Yuqingzong, although the treatment given to disciples is extremely high, but is there any detailed work of other sects? Almost certainly there are. Yu Qingzong didn't care too much about these things, anyway, as long as the very important information was kept from being known to those people, it would be fine. Moreover, knowing who they are and keeping them is better than getting rid of them, and other sects will create a group of people they don't know.
Similarly, the Yuqing Sect has its own sources of information in other sects. This is not to say that Yu Qingzong arranged his own people in each sect, in fact, it is the most stupid way to arrange his own people. No matter which world you are in, there is never a shortage of people who can sell something for profit, especially when he himself does not know the value of what he sells.
It's like in the early days of the technological world, in addition to getting rewards for themselves, those spies would also develop some offline through various channels. Some people didn't know what important confidential information they were selling until they were caught.
This detailed summary of the gift list was obtained by Yu Qingzong through bribery of people from the Wuzhu Sect. Of course, it is not ruled out that Wuzhu faction intends to pass this news to Yu Qingzong in this way. After all, the Wuzhu faction secretly publicized the news before, and its intention is already very obvious, it is to provoke the relationship between Yu Qingzong and Wuzong, and strive for a better development environment for themselves.
"Five sects is a good idea, but it's a bit too much about my Yuqing sect, thinking that supporting a Wuzhu sect can restrain the development of my sect." Mo Ru said with a sneer.
After all, this monastic sect is different from a secular country, for example, it doesn't have a strong desire for territory. The territory of the so-called cultivating sect is mainly determined by influence, not by military force. Of course, there are some resources and minerals needed for cultivating the Tao, which are things that the cultivating sects must hold in their hands, and most of the disputes between the sects also come from this.
However, although Yuqingzong also needs those resources and minerals, it is not as dependent on traditional sects. The current development of Yuqingzong is actually a bit like Tianbaozong. As long as it can make money, most of the basic etymology can be bought with money. More importantly, Yu Qingzong controlled the False God Realm. I am afraid that there is no sect that is willing to make things difficult for Yu Qingzong in terms of cultivation resources for a little publicity.
What's more, there are not many mineral deposits worth mining on the territory of Yuqingzong and Wuzhupai. Thousands of years ago, when the Yu Qingzong was at its peak, how could it be possible to give up those resources at the door of the house? Therefore, instead of working hard to develop those nearly exhausted mineral deposits, it is better to directly spend money to buy them from other places.
It can be said that things that others regard as treasures are not so important to Yu Qingzong.
It doesn't rely too much on resources, and it also has an absolute advantage in recruiting talents with its strong influence. What can the Wuzhu sect use to contain such Yu Qingzong?
"Besides, they probably didn't expect that the Wuzhu faction is not willing to just be their pawn. I really want to know what kind of expression the people of Wuzong have on their faces when they get the news." Jin Dasheng left the paper fan, Said with a bit of sarcasm.
Everyone in the Yuqing Sect was not furious because of this incident. On the one hand, they had enough confidence in their sect, and on the other hand, they were used to similar things.
In this world, there are too many dirty things among various sects, even if they are all righteous, which sect does not put its own interests first. If you get angry about this kind of thing, or even take some drastic actions, then this world will not have peace for thousands of years.
"However, we also have to express our attitude, lest people think that anyone can count us." Ye Zan also said lightly.
As a person from the world of science and technology, Ye Zan has no less knowledge of this kind of thing than people like Yu Qingzong. In the world of science and technology, things like this will happen between countries and between companies. Therefore, he is also very clear that there is no need to take this kind of matter too seriously, and at the same time, he can't really express nothing.
"What's your plan?" Mo Ru asked curiously.
Ye Zan said that he should show his attitude, but how to express his attitude is also a problem.
After all, those five sects just gave the Wuzhu sect a generous congratulatory gift, even though everyone knew what the five sects intended, Yu Qingzong did not come out to condemn the five sects. If Yu Qingzong really stood up and said that Wuzong shouldn't give the Wuzhu sect such a congratulatory gift, it might become a joke in the monastic circle instead.
"It's nothing. During this period of time, the rail transit in the surrounding countries has basically been completed and opened to traffic. Therefore, the cooperation we discussed with Wu Zong before can also be suspended. If they still want to work on Lingdao If you get any preferential treatment, then continue to participate in the construction of rail transit like everyone else." Of course, Ye Zan would not be stupid enough to ask Yu Qingzong to stand up and condemn Wuzong, just "suspend cooperation" is enough It can show Yu Qingzong's attitude.
In fact, suspending the cooperation with Wu Zong was something that Ye Zan had already considered.
In the construction of rail transit in several countries around the Tang Dynasty, Wuzong actually contributed very little effort. Only when the project progressed to their territory, did they send a Yuanying ancestor to make soy sauce. However, through this method, the five sects benefited from Yu Qingzong far more than those Yuanying ancestors who came to work, which is obviously very unfair.
At the beginning, the reason why we cooperated with Wuzong was mainly because of the benefits of rail transit, which had not been fully reflected. Therefore, if Yu Qingzong wanted to send so many Yuanying patriarchs to build on Wuzong's site, Wuzong still needed Wuzong's nod. Otherwise, if Wu Zong uses a little bit of trickery, the construction project of rail transit will be greatly affected.
But now, the construction of rail transit in several countries has been completed, and those countries have also benefited from rail transit. At this time, there is no need for Yu Qingzong to send people there, and if Wuzong dares to do anything to the rail transit, the rulers of those countries will not allow it, so there is no need for continued cooperation.
Don't write about the secular imperial power, that is the so-called destiny, even the second-rate sects like Ziyangzong and the other five sects dare not easily offend the secular imperial power.
"Junior brother, will it really have no impact?" Mo Ru knew that Ye Zan was earning merit, so he asked a little worried.
Ye Zan smiled, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, the development of rail transportation is the general trend. Anyone who dares to stand in the front will be prepared to be crushed by the wheels."
Ye Zan's words are not bragging. During this period of time, envoys from various countries who have come to Yuqingzong to request to go to their country to build rail transit have almost included all the countries in the entire Shenhua domain. But anyone with a little brain can see the impact of this rail transit on a country's national strength. No one hopes that other countries will ride on the rail trains and move forward at high speed, but only themselves will stay where they are.
Although ascetics always regard secular people as ants, but that is only the view of secular individuals. And if the whole world forms a general trend, even if the ancient true immortals are here, I'm afraid they can only avoid it, and even hope to be able to follow the general trend and do something.
"Okay then, just follow what my junior brother said, and let the head teacher pass the letter to the five sects." Seeing that Ye Zan was very sure, Mo Rushi had nothing to worry about.
As for the other members of Yuqingzong, if they could give Wuzong a little color at this time, and it would not harm the interests of the sect, they would naturally agree with both hands and feet.
Besides Ziyang Sect and other five sects, they learned that the Wuzhu Sect had leaked the contents of the gift list, so they could tell what the Wuzhu Sect did at a glance, and they didn't have much to do except scold a few words. Relying on the Wuzhu faction to contain Yu Qingzong. What's more, the Wuzhu faction knows how to do things. Immediately afterwards, they used thousands of miles of sound transmission to explain the matter to Wu Zong, and their posture was quite in place. Wu Zong knew that the news must be the Wuzhu faction's initiative. It was spread, but it could only be recognized by pinching one's nose.
Moreover, Wu Zong also felt that if it was exposed, it should be exposed, anyway, Yu Qingzong couldn't do anything to him. The reason is all on my side, what kind of gift I want to give to Wuzhupai, I don't need your consent from Yu Qingzong, why don't you let us give it if Yu Qingzong can't afford it?
But then, Yu Qingzong finally took action, instead of standing up and condemning Wu Zong foolishly, he directly notified Wu Zong to stop the cooperation.
Although everyone knew that Lingdao would no longer be a daughter-in-law in a few more years. However, if you can enjoy the benefits of returning the spiritual rice now, who would be willing to wait until a few years later? You must know that the past few years are also very important for the disciples of the sects. Maybe, just because of these few years, the genius disciple who should have achieved great achievements has been delayed.
After the five sects were notified, they naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent their envoys to the Yu Qingzong.
