Chapter 235 New Strategies
Three days later, the lively auction finally came to an end.
But instead of decreasing, the number of people in Ziyang Fufang City has increased.
Some casual cultivators spread the word about the unique features of Ziyang Mansion, attracting more casual cultivators to come.
Even some sect disciples praised Ziyang Mansion after returning!
This also caused many disciples to come to Ziyang Mansion to play and have fun.
After all, in their impression, monks are indifferent people who focus on cultivation and are not interested in eating, drinking and having fun.
But in Ziyang Mansion, they completely overturned this perception.
The disciples of Ziyang Mansion are proficient in everything, including eating, drinking and having fun. As monks, they are not proficient in cultivation.
As for what kind of realm we can achieve in the future, it all depends on luck!
Such fairy-like days made some sect disciples feel that the first half of their lives had been in vain.
Although he is practicing hard and his realm is steadily improving, life is no fun and the end can be seen at a glance.
But by then, their hair would have turned gray and they would no longer be at their peak.
Even if there is fun, there is no intention but no power.
As a result, more and more sect disciples feel that they should go out for a walk while they are young and experience the customs and customs of the human race.
Every casual cultivator or disciple who comes to Ziyang Mansion will be infected by the joyful atmosphere of the disciples of Ziyang Mansion.
They seem to be working in Ziyang Mansion. At a certain time in the evening, they will leave the sect and go to the market to have fun.
Or spend time with some friends, chatting, drinking wine and eating meat, and have a great time.
Although this move was liked by many young disciples, some senior monks in the cultivation world believed that the disciples of Ziyang Mansion were wasting their resources and wasting their cultivation resources.
In their opinion, having such a good senior brother can earn so many resources.
You should practice hard, wishing you could devote yourself to practicing in the cave 32 days a month!
Only in this way can Ziyang Mansion become bigger and stronger.
Some sect disciples came to Ziyang Mansion with doubts in their hearts, made some friends, and asked about their doubts.
"We are all disciples now, and we should do what disciples should do, eat, drink and have fun. As for cultivation, that is the last thing.
As for if we become elders after our cultivation is high, then naturally we cannot be so presumptuous and must do what elders should do.
Help the eldest brother control the sect and resist foreign enemies.
But that will all happen a long time ago. Judging from my current cultivation speed, it will take at least several hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul days are long, take your time.
Even if I can’t reach the Nascent Soul stage, it doesn’t matter. I am a mortal and I am lucky to live to be 70 years old.
Now, thanks to the kindness of his senior brother, he has become a monk and has a long life. His life is much better than before. "
This remark was widely circulated among monks and was once considered a wise saying.
This paragraph was even published in Ziyang Mansion's miscellaneous notes, along with senior brother's comments.
"There are many stages in life, and each stage has something to do. Don't leave any regrets. Even if you miss it, don't regret it."
Snapped.
Lin Qing was lying on the rocking chair at the moment, looking at the acrobatics in his hands with a smile on his face.
"Tsk, tsk. Look at what I said, it's a wise saying."
Huo Luan raised his glasses and rolled his eyes at him: "Did you write that?"
Lin Qing's smile suddenly froze, then she raised her eyebrows and said quickly:
"That's natural. Could it be that you wrote it?"
"I can't write such elegant words, but it makes sense."
Huo Luan finished eating one spiritual fruit in his hand, picked up another spiritual fruit, and ate it slowly.
"That's natural. The average monk only lives a thousand or eight hundred years. What's the point of practicing all day long? It's better to live a good life and do something you like."
Seeing Lin Qing say this, Huo Luan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:
"Is there anything you like?"
"As long as I don't practice, I like anything." Lin Qing said nonchalantly.
In fact, this is exactly the case. As an otaku, he would rather stay in the sect and be in a daze than go to the cave to practice.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, feeling that the monks in this world were really boring.
He spends all day practicing in the cave and has no idea about the wonderful world outside.
He is worse than an evil cultivator who covets beauty and wine.
Seeing Huo Luan looking thoughtful, Lin Qing looked at him and asked:
"Do you like practicing?"
Huo Luan shook his head, feeling a little depressed, and said slowly:
"I don't like it, but if you are weak, you will have many accidents and you will be bullied, so you have to practice.
Not everyone is like the disciples here, with you protecting them.
I heard that you asked that Zhuge Formation to protect the sect disciples again? "
At this point, Lin Qing's eyes lit up.
He liked the boy Zhuge Zhen very much. He seemed to be tireless and thought about serving the sect all day long.
As soon as the auction ended, it automatically dispersed into thousands of clones to protect the disciples who were out on missions. It can be said to be a full-time dad.
Lin Qing looked at Huo Luan and raised his eyebrows at her:
"Why, are you, the Five Elements Sect, envious?"
It is impossible not to be envious. In the Five Elements Sect, extremely talented disciples will be assigned a guardian.
But this protector is at most in the stage of spiritual transformation and virtual refining.
After all, monks in the integration stage are eager to break through the Mahayana, and they don't have time to practice in seclusion all day long.
And when the disciples break through to the divine transformation stage and have a certain ability to protect themselves, they can continue to protect the way of the other disciples.
As for the supreme Mahayana being used to protect the Tao, she had never thought about it that way.
So Huo Luan decided to end the topic. She looked directly at Lin Qing and asked:
"Do you know what happened to the demon clan? I heard that their two holy lands have revived strong men."
Lin Qing shook her head and continued to look at the miscellaneous notes as if nothing had happened and said lightly:
"How do I know about the demon clan? I heard that dozens of Mahayana people died among them. Is it true?"
"It's true. We initially suspect that it has something to do with the mysterious existence of the Far North. After all, after the two Mahayana revived, there were changes in the Far North."
Lin Qing raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing, and a hint of joy flashed in his heart. It seemed that his arrangement worked, but it was a pity for the two immortal weapons.
Speaking of immortal weapons, Lin Qing looked at Huo Luan and asked, "When will you be able to break through to the ultimate Mahayana, so that I can prepare a gift for you."
Huo Luan curled his lips, showing disdain, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
She pretended to be calm and said, "It's only been a few years since I achieved great success. How could I achieve such a breakthrough so quickly?"
"Ang, if you don't break through, you will become an old witch."
"Humph!" Huo Luan's delicate and beautiful eyes suddenly became brighter, and she slapped the table hard!
Then she stood up and left. Lin Qing looked at her fiery red back and slender thighs and couldn't help but shake her head.
Huo Luan suddenly stood still in the distance, turned around to look at Lin Qing, then walked back angrily, sat down at the table, and continued to eat the spiritual fruit, as if nothing happened just now.
"Don't be angry. I'll treat you to steamed buns tonight."
"it is good."
ah?Lin Qing was startled. This was a little different from what he had imagined. Sure enough, it was good for women to be older and they didn't need to be coaxed.
"By the way, when will the demon clan attack the demon clan?"
He planned to take good care of the monks of the Demon Clan when the Demon Clan attacked them.
As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king. Then you can harvest longevity with confidence and boldness.
"I don't know!" Huo Luan's attitude was very bad, as if he was really angry, but the look on his face clearly said: Come and coax me, come and coax me.
"Oh, tell me when the time comes."
Huo Luan took a breath, his towering chest rose and fell suddenly, and finally calmed down.
"You don't plan to send your disciples to the battlefield?"
"Pai, tomorrow I'll ask them who wants to go. If they don't want to go, then forget it."
"In this case, there must be many people who have no objection."
"Oh, will it have any impact on Ziyang Mansion?"
"Probably not. They only dare to talk about it behind their backs."
"Ang, that's it. It would be a shame if the disciples who were finally cultivated are sent to die on the battlefield." Lin Qing continued to flip through the miscellaneous notes and said lightly.
"How can this be called committing suicide? If we defeat the demon clan, then our human clan will undoubtedly become the overlord of the world."
"Well, if the sky falls, there will be tall men to hold it up. They are still disciples now. They only need to eat, drink, have fun and practice. As for killing the enemy, we adults are there."
For some reason, Lin Qing felt very weird when he said this. Even if his two lifetimes combined, he would only be 50 years old.
This is like a young child among monks. Those with lower talents may still be in the Qi training stage, while those with better talents may have reached the foundation building stage.
In other words, at his current age, many disciples in the sect who have simple foundations are old enough to be his grandfather.
But now he was saying things that only parents can say, which made him feel extremely weird.
It's like time and space are messed up.
Huo Luan did not continue to speak, but looked at Lin Qing blankly, with all kinds of brilliance flashing in his eyes.
I don't know how long it took before she said with a hollow voice and a sigh: "Actually, you don't have to be so tired."
ah?A question mark appeared on Lin Qing's head. I heard that this woman was sick again?
"You can appropriately let the disciples and elders of Ziyang Mansion take on some tasks. This will allow them to grow quickly without you having to shoulder the burden."
For some reason, when Huo Luan said this, there was a deep sadness on his face, and he seemed a little distressed.
what?
Another question mark appeared on Lin Qing's head, and he silently cursed in his heart: "Why am I tired? The sect's civil engineering brothers are working hard to dig holes, and the alchemy disciples are enduring the flames, but I am here to watch Miscellaneous Notes, I don’t feel tired at all.”
Then he looked at Huo Luan, who was still in a daze, and stretched out his hand to wave in front of her eyes.
"What are you thinking? Are you adding drama to yourself again?"
Bang!
Huo Luan slapped the table next to her and broke it. She was so gentle and considerate, but this boy didn't appreciate it. It was really annoying! !
Then she stood up angrily, turned and left without looking back.
"Bye. Do you still want to eat steamed buns tonight?" Lin Qing's voice came from behind.
"Eat!" Huo Luan stomped his feet, walked away quickly with long legs.
Time passed quickly, and it got dark in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qing put down the scissors, put the second-generation old flower in her hand into the pond, and patted her hard on the head.
"Grow up quickly, it's been several years, why are you still so stupid?"
"Who are you, who are you."
Lin Qing was speechless, stood up and left the cave.
He first went to Ziyang Peak to explain some things, and then he leisurely went to Huo Luan's cave.
Along the way, many disciples said hello to him and wanted to take him to drink.
Lin Qing naturally refused righteously!
Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Lin Qing patted the jade door of the cave.
"Let's go, do you still want to eat?"
Boom.
The jade door began to vibrate, and streams of light began to flicker. Then it slowly opened, revealing a beautiful figure behind it.
The man was tall and tall, with a beautiful face. He was dressed in white and had a coldness on his face that would repel people thousands of miles away.
But the fiery red mark between the eyebrows makes it more enchanting, like a charming white lotus!
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, looked Huo Luan up and down and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Can't you?"
"Okay, I look much better than when I saw you this afternoon."
Huo Luan's eyes suddenly narrowed. Although she tried her best to hide her joy, Lin Qing could still notice it.
As he spoke, he turned around in a circle and looked at Lin Qing with a smile:
"How is it? This is also the first time for me to wear a white skirt."
"Ang, I haven't worn a skirt."
Lin Qing dropped a word and walked down the mountain.
Huo Luan felt that if he spent all day with this kid, his life might be shortened by several thousand years.
But after thinking about Shouyuan, who is still young, thousands of years seems to be nothing.
So she followed quickly.
The two people walked in Ziyang Mansion, which naturally attracted a lot of attention. A group of disciples looked at the two people with ambiguous eyes.
This made Huo Luan's face flash with a hint of red. Lin Qing's face was much thicker than Huo Luan's, so he was naturally fearless.
"Enjoy life well. When the war starts, the demon clan may not know what methods they will use, and they will not be so leisurely by then."
Huo Luan was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face.
"If the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. It's okay. Master will protect you!"
"Thank you very much." Lin Qing looked at Huo Luan's height of nearly meters and immediately felt that she was right.
In his previous life, as an otaku, he would hardly dare to talk to such a tall and beautiful woman.
Because Huo Luan's aura is too strong, and the majesty that comes with being in a position of power for a long time cannot be ignored.
Not long after, Lin Qing and his wife appeared in a restaurant.
Huo Luan wanted to go to the private room on the second floor, but Lin Qing sat in a seat by the window. She had no choice but to sit over.
When Lin Feifei saw Lin Qing coming, her eyes immediately lit up, she put down her work, ran up to him, and called out sweetly: "Elder brother."
"What do you want to eat today? I will cook it for you myself."
"Don't bother me. I see you still have a lot of work to do, so I'll just order a few side dishes as normal, and then thirty steamed buns, freshly baked."
"Don't worry, senior brother, the master has just wrapped everything."
"Okay, two more bottles of wine."
"okay!"
Seeing Lin Feifei leaving, Huo Luan immediately stretched his head over and lowered his voice and said:
"You little bastard, you deliberately made me embarrassed, right? You can eat the buns yourself."
Lin Qing looked outside. The lights were brightly lit and people were coming and going. It was even busier than during the day.
"Don't worry. As a Mahayana monk, eating thirty buns is nothing. No one will pay attention to you."
Huo Luan poked his head back suspiciously, picked up the chopsticks and ate the peanuts and pickles on the table.
Just in time, Lin Feifei came over with two bottles of wine, and Lin Qing pointed at the peanuts and said with a smile:
"Did you see that all Mahayana monks like to eat something? Is it right for me to tell you this secret?"
Lin Feifei smiled brightly, "Yes, since these two kinds of side dishes were added, the business has improved a lot. Some monks can also drink wine and eat side dishes to pass the time when the food is not served. However, I believe it will be done soon. Learn from other restaurants."
Lin Qing listened with a smile, nodded and finally said:
“This is normal business competition and cannot be avoided, but it’s good to have the monks remember this place.
When they come to Ziyang Mansion next time, they will come to you again. "
"Then when will Senior Brother hold another auction? Many merchants in Fang City can't wait."
"Wait a minute, no auction will be held every day, but Zongmen will open Zongmenfang Market in a while.
Let the mortals around you come here to live and work, and the princes and nobles of those mortal dynasties will have a lot of money. "
Lin Qing said with a smile while sipping the sake in the glass.
As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Feifei was shocked, Huo Luan also looked at Lin Qing in disbelief.
Monks and mortals are originally two species, and they cannot be blended together.
Now that Ziyang Mansion dares to break this boundary, does he have any thoughts?
Lin Qing immediately said: "Okay, I have told you such important news, so I don't have to pay for this meal."
Lin Feifei suddenly opened her mouth wide, her beautiful eyes widened, and took a step forward, "How can that be done? It is only natural to pay for food, does the senior brother want to default on the bill?"
"Okay." Lin Qing touched her nose, looking embarrassed.
"However, I'd better give Senior Brother two dishes as a treat." Lin Feifei suddenly looked distressed and turned away quickly, as if she didn't want to look at him.
At this time, Huo Luan poked his head over again, and a faint fragrance began to fill the air.
"Are you going to let mortals in? What if the monks bully them?"
"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will ask Zhuge to set up this formation. No matter whether you are a Mahayana monk or a Qi Refining monk, you will become a mortal when you come here!"
"Ah?" Huo Luan's beautiful eyes flashed, thinking that this kid is too kind to mortals?
Not only do they give out free exercises for them to practice, but they also allow mortals to come and have fun in this market.
"Isn't there something wrong? This will offend many monks."
Lin Qing shrugged, "Then expand the formation to cover the entire sect and declare it to the outside world as a mountain-protecting formation."
"what?"
Huo Luan was stunned by Lin Qing's operation again. He was telling lies with his eyes open like this. How could this kid say it so calmly?
Lin Qing looked mysterious and patted Huo Luan's little hand, "Master, think about it, so many disciples in Ziyang Mansion are lazy, don't practice, and just eat, drink and have fun all day long.
But the sect still wants to continue to be strong, what should we do?
Since the quality is not guaranteed, then we should focus on quantity and recruit more disciples so that all those mortals can become members of the Ziyang Mansion.
In this way, there must be many geniuses among them.
Even as long as I build a reputation, I can send sect disciples to other places to win over people. After all, there are many mortals who want to practice. "
Huo Luan was immediately shocked: "So this is what you had in mind? Other sects directly attracted monks, but I didn't expect you to win over mortals.
But it is indeed feasible. Ziyang Mansion now has a lot of resources, and even if more mortals come, they will be enough to support it. "
Huo Luan suddenly fell into deep thought and made careful calculations in his mind.
Needless to say, after those mortals came to Ziyang Mansion, they would serve Ziyang Mansion wholeheartedly.
Even if he becomes a monk in the future, he will still call Ziyang Mansion his home.
Just like some of the low-level disciples she had seen in the sect before, they were almost full of fanaticism towards Ziyang Mansion.
Because they were mortals before and their lives were not good.
If things go on like this, Ziyang Mansion will indeed become stronger and stronger.
And when the reputation spreads, Ziyang Mansion may become a holy place in the hearts of mortals.
Then he thought of the Five Elements Sect, but quickly shook his head. This method was not applicable to the Five Elements Sect.
This method is only suitable for emerging sects that are still developing rapidly. All disciples who join Ziyang Mansion will feel a sense of belonging.
When Ziyang Mansion becomes powerful, they will naturally think that Ziyang Mansion was built by them.
The Five Elements Sect is called the four major sects and is the top existence of the human race. It does not need disciples to build it, so it is inevitable that there will be some lack of belonging.
Huo Luan raised his head and looked at Lin Qing, the look in his eyes could hardly be concealed:
"You are such a genius, you always come up with different solutions."
"You are a genius master, wouldn't you be even more genius?"
Huo Luan was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face, making the environment in the restaurant seem brighter.
"You have some conscience."
