Chapter 608: Division of Interests
The matter of merging the sect is extremely important to the people of the Qingling Sect, and it is not allowed to be sloppy in the slightest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the monks on the side of the Divine Sword Gate are also very concerned about this matter. After the merger of the sect, the criminal law, etiquette, grooming, and attire of the sect should be unified. Therefore, the new canons have been instructed, the tailors have been dressed, and all kinds of preparations have been made.
After Aokiko and the others returned to Qingling Sect, they did not have a moment of rest, but immediately commanded the disciples of the sect to build a high platform on Hongyun Ridge, prepare tables and chairs, and then put up lights and laid out a red carpet.
The disciples outside were busy, and several foundation building period monks of the Qingling Sect also talked with candles and nights, and finally discussed some issues after the merger of the sect.
Li Sen was also invited to participate.
But in fact, it was Li Sen who sat there and didn't speak, and Liu Zhen, Chen Kai and Chu Yue rarely interjected, mainly Aokizi and Yang Hu talked frequently there.
At this huge sandalwood round table, the main direction of the consultation was the distribution of power after the merger of the sects.
In the previous plan, Aokiko and Yang Hu agreed on the condition that they would 'merge in name and divide in fact'. In other words, everyone also occupies the spiritual vein of Baishi Mountain in the name of the 'Qingling Sect'. and attack and defend the alliance, and fight against foreign invaders together.
But the problem is that when the treaty was concluded at that time, neither Aokiko nor Yang Hu knew about Li Sen's advancement to the Jindan period.
And now, after Li Sen advanced to the Jindan stage, he has become the nominal supreme existence of the Qingling Sect. The Qingling Sect has also jumped from a strong third-rate sect to a weak second-rate sect.
Although the strength of this second-rate sect is weak, there is only one Jindan stage ancestor like Li Sen in name. However, in the rules of the Xiuzhen Realm, second-rate sects can enjoy autonomy within a radius of 10,000 li. In other words, the second-rate sect has jurisdiction within a radius of 10,000 li.
Within this area, all kinds of necessary resources of the sect, including spiritual veins, mineral veins, commercial economy, and high-quality disciples, can be guaranteed.
The third-rate sect does not have these privileges at all, and can only barely stand in a certain spiritual vein place.
Therefore, after the Qingling Sect had Li Sen, a strong man in the Jindan period, the treatment of the sect also changed drastically.
Another problem is that now that the Qingling Sect has Li Sen, Qingmuzi has suddenly become extremely powerful! If Yang Hu still wants to be unified in name, it is almost impossible. Therefore, the Divine Sword Sect must be completely and completely incorporated into the Qingling Sect.
And this leads to the next question.
The first is the distribution of interests within the sect.
In the future, how will the 'Zongmen territory' within a radius of 10,000 miles be governed? How will it be governed? Who will manage the fat difference related to the ore veins? Who will be responsible for the drudgery of border patrols? If it is a rotation system, then who will come first and who will come last?
Then, some major events outside the sect.
How to take care of the daily sect diplomacy? Which of these second-rate sects closest to the Qingling Sect need to be co-opted, and which sects need to be jointly suppressed?
How do you get along with the first-class sect of Shenzhao Sect? Do you still need to send envoys to pay tribute and ask for asylum every year? So who will be the envoys?
You must know that the Shenzhao Sect is the real behemoth in Jizhou, and the territory of the sect has reached a huge area of 100,000 miles!
For a time, Aokiko and Yang Hu frequently exchanged views on these issues, and various discussions and debates were endless. But no matter what kind of thing is decided, it will be reported by Aokiko to Li Sen, so that Li Sen can make the final decision.
And Li Sen was like the biggest barrier of the Qingling Sect, sitting firmly north of the round table, his face always hidden in the dim light.
The night passed like this.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Qingling Sect had already ushered in the first wave of guests.
There were about seven or eight guests in this wave, and they had already come to the bottom of the mountain one after another last night, and they came to worship the sect as soon as it was dawn.
They were all the heads of some third-rate sects within a radius of thousands of miles, the patriarchs of the Xiuzhen family. In the future, they will all be within the sphere of influence of the Qingling Sect, so they hurriedly showed a respectful appearance and came to the bottom of the mountain early.
Aokiko personally came forward to receive them, and these people expressed their allegiance to the Qingling Sect, and would send envoys to pay tribute every year in the future, without two hearts, and hoped that they would also be able to get the protection of the Qingling Sect in the future.
Looking at these Daoists who were originally at the same level as themselves, but now they are respectful and humble, Aokiko almost smiled on his old face, and promised and comforted him frequently.
After sending these people into the guest room, about two o'clock in the morning, the head of the Shenmu Gate, 'Shenmu Daoren', rode a green spirit boat and brought more than twenty disciples in green robes to visit.
This person is a mid-stage cultivator of Jindan, who has been famous for a long time, and is good at the way of pills, and is quite famous in Jizhou.
Although Aokiko is the head, there is a gap in the realm, and it is not suitable for reception. Therefore, Li Sen personally greeted this person.
Shenmu Daoist was dressed in Taoist robes, looked to be over seventy years old, and held a willow cane, drooping old. After he saw Li Sen, he was quite polite, and praised Li Sen for his youth and promisingness, as a genius monk who was well-known in the mainland, and had a bright future in the future. In the future, he Shenmumen is willing to get along with the Qingling Sect and help each other.
Li Sen praised the Shenmu Daoist for being old and strong, and his prestige and prestige, and his disciples were also moral models of the Jizhou sect, which was respectable.
After complimenting each other, the two found that each other's sects were a little far away and there was no conflict of interest, so they determined the principle of 'getting along with each other and helping each other'.
The Qingling Hall sits in the north and faces south, and the south of the entrance of the hall is the high platform where the ceremony is held, and the west, east and south sides are blank areas, leaving guests to sit.
Shenmu Daoist led the crowd and sat down in the south-west corner of the square.
After these people sat down, a white spirit boat also broke through the air, and it turned out to be the spirit boat of the 'Liuhe Sect' that had arrived.
The disciples of the Liuhe Sect are all dressed in white and carrying swords, and their spirits are very high.
The head of the house, Xu Luo, is a mid-Jindan cultivator, in his forties, with muscles like iron and a mighty appearance. His double cultivation of the Dharma body is well-known in Jizhou.
Surprisingly, after seeing Li Sen, he directly stretched out his hand to Li Sen without saying a word, wanting to shake hands with Li Sen.
For those who practice martial arts, shaking hands is wrestling.
Xu Luo, this guy wants to wrestle with Li Sen!
After Li Sen frowned slightly, he still stretched out his hand and shook it slowly.
"Whew!"
At the moment when the two shook hands, Li Sen and Xu Luo's robes were windless and automatic, as if they had been bombarded head-on by an invisible force, flying up, fierce as a flag!
But the difference is that Xu Luo's face turned red at the first time, as if he was drunk. Li Sen, on the other hand, looked indifferent and did not change at all.
Seeing this scene, many disciples of the Qingling Sect and the Liuhe Sect all looked over with wide eyes.
After about a few breaths, Xu Luo's face was already red and slightly purple, and his forehead was even more bruised. Li Sen, on the other hand, only frowned slightly.
But the bluestone slab bricks under the feet of the two of them have all been shattered at some point, like a spider web!
In the end, Xu Luo took the initiative to let go of his hand.
He first raised his head and took a few quick breaths, and then looked at Li Sen with admiration.
"You are worthy of being a genius monk in the famous continent, you are really different from mortals. I'll convince you!"
"Where, where. Xu Daoyou was polite. Li Sen smiled slightly.
"Haha, your strength in alchemy is above mine, what's so polite about this? It's just that I haven't let go of a battle with you, and I'm a little unhappy. But ......"
Speaking of this, he waved his hand, looking very bold.
"For your sake, though. Those commercial interests in Wu'an City, Jizhou, our Liuhe Sect have been given to you Qingling Sect, don't want it!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Sen's expression hadn't changed much, but Aokiko suddenly showed a look of surprise!
You must know that Wu'an City is one of the top ten cities in Jizhou, with extremely considerable population resources and commercial interests, if anyone can fully control this city, then his financial resources will increase significantly, enough to support a thousand Qi Refining Stage disciples.
Moreover, Wu'an City is the closest big city to Qingling Sect, and this city was originally divided by the Heavenly Python Sect and the Liuhe Sect respectively. Therefore, even if Aokiko is salivating and coveting her, she has always been helpless.
Now that the Liuhe Sect has taken the initiative to give up, the Qingling Sect is equivalent to getting half of Wu'an City without a single knife or shot!
Just shaking hands once, you can get such a huge benefit, which is simply unimaginable for Aokiko.
For a while, Aokiko glanced at him again and again, asking Li Sen to quickly admit this huge benefit.
It's just that Li Sen didn't seem to see Aokiko's eyes, but instead asked Xu Luo.
"Wu'an City, hasn't it always been divided and ruled by your sect and the Heavenly Python Sect?
"You say those snake-playing bastards?"
Xu Luo seemed to be very disgusted and looked down on the monks of the Heavenly Python Sect, and after hearing this, he directly sneered and said, "When they come, you will know." It is said that the old guy in Zuoqiu is still going to fight with you!hahaha......"
Xu Luo laughed, then didn't say anything more, but waved his hand behind his back, and directly led his disciples to the west of the square.
The Shenmu Daoist who had been sitting nearby for a long time immediately got up and exchanged a few words with him.
Looking at the looks of the two of them talking to each other, it seems that they have a good relationship on weekdays.
Not long after, many monks from the Liuhe Sect also sat down. The square, which was originally quite wide, was half filled when it landed.
At this moment, some disciples of the Qingling Sect also began to get busy, some served tea and water to those guests, some continued to set up a high platform, and some were full of nervousness, gathering in a hidden place to practice praise and congratulations.
Obviously, for the sudden arrival of so many big people in the Qingling Sect, these young disciples of the Qingling Sect seemed a little uncomfortable.
However, now this 'merger ceremony' is just a nominal excuse to invite these big people to come. In fact, it was to announce to them, the heads of the 'second-rate sects', that the 'Qingling Sect' had also become a second-rate sect and was going to divide its sphere of influence.
If there are their interests in this sphere of influence, then I'm sorry, please withdraw your minions one after another immediately, and our Qingling Sect will take over.
And the 'big guys' obviously know about that.
Shenmumen and Qingling Sect have no conflict of interest, so they can coexist peacefully and their friendship will last forever.
Liuhemen and Qingling Sect have a small conflict of interest in Wu'an City. But after some 'wrestling' between Xu Luo and Li Sen, Xu Luo took the initiative to give up to Qinglingzong. Therefore, the two sects can also unite and live in harmony in the future.
The only thing that is difficult to deal with should be the 'Heavenly Python Sect'.
