Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 384 Opening the Forum to Lecture

Lingweizi showed hesitation.

Seeing this, Wang Ba was confused and said:

"Uncle Master, do you have any concerns?"

Li Yingfu, who was behind, saw this and quickly called Lou Yi and others to take shelter first.

Qu Zhongqiu, who was standing next to him, shook his head gently and said proactively:

"It's not that Junior Brother Lingwei doesn't want to talk to you, but that the disappearance of the monks from Mori Kingdom has been unresolved for decades. Over and over, countless monks have been sent from the sect, but there has been no progress... "

It looked like he was explaining for Lingweizi, but underneath his words, it seemed more like he didn't think highly of Wang Yan.

Wang Ba's expression did not change.

On the contrary, Lingweizi couldn't help but think of Wang Yan's sophisticated methods when handling sect chores in the sect.

My heart moved slightly.

Although dealing with chores and solving the mystery of the monk's disappearance are completely different things, Wang Yan is thoughtful and considers everything, so he might actually be able to find a solution.

He and Hu Zaixi looked at each other and then said in harmony:

"It's not impossible to talk about it."

"This matter has to start about forty years ago. At that time, Senior Brother Qu reported many missing monks to the sect. Since the cultivation level of the missing monks was not high, according to the rules, this matter was treated as a matter in the sect. The disciple’s mission to go out for training..."

Wang Yan couldn't help but look at Qu Zhongqiu.

Qiu Zhongqiu nodded slightly when he saw this:

"Junior Brother Lingwei is right. I did report this matter. Those few missing monks were, to be precise, at the foundation level. However, I searched the area at that time and found no trace. , and finally had no choice but to report it to the sect.”

Wang Yan couldn't help but his face condensed slightly.

He couldn't see through Qu Zhongqiu's state, but it gave him a more majestic feeling than Lingweizi and Hu Zaixi.

It was similar to the master of the original demon sect Sophora Demon Seat he met before.

Such people have not been able to find any clues, which shows that the disappearance of the monk is indeed a bit strange.

Lingweizi, on the other hand, said with a solemn expression:

"But the result is obvious. The sect monks who came here either disappeared without reason or returned empty-handed. So far, they include Hehuan Peak Liu Lan, Bai Shu Peak Bai Xiaoyun, Heart Sword Peak Lu Yu, Dragon Blood Peak..."

"A total of six disciples are trapped in this."

"Although the other disciples have not disappeared, they have been wasting for a long time, but they have not obtained any useful information."

Listening to these names, Wang Hao was surprised to find that he actually knew half of them.

He met Liu Lan from Hehuan Peak in Xuanwufang City.

The other party often sets up a stall in Xuanwufang City.

I also agreed with him that we would have the opportunity to taste some Hehuan Peak exercises together...

But he never saw the other party again after that.

He didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect that the other party actually came to Mori Country to perform a mission and eventually disappeared.

As for Bai Xiaoyun, he was very familiar with it because he had often listened to it.

Lu Yu was not very familiar with him and had only met him once.

But through Zhao Feng, he had some understanding of this Heart Sword Peak sword cultivator.

He is a veritable swordsman genius.

Wang Ba couldn't help but frowned.

These people seem to have nothing in common.

When it comes to realm, Liu Lan and Bai Xiaoyun are both foundation-building monks, but Lu Yu is a perfect golden elixir. Among the other missing people, there are even Nascent Soul monks.

The types of practice are even more different.

And without common ground, there is no way to determine the cause of the disappearance.

If you can't find the reason, you can't find the real culprit of the disappearance.

It's not even possible to tell whether this is man-made or whether there are some special circumstances.

Lingweizi continued:

"In addition to our sect, local small sects also have news of missing monks from time to time. However, the number of missing monks before was actually not many. In total, there are only more than ten recorded cases. pieces."

"And the places of disappearance are also all over the southern part of Mori Country."

"Until the Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Gods swept through the surrounding small countries in the past few years, many monks from small countries fled here, and the number of disappearances suddenly increased... The "ancient Taoist secret" appeared some time ago, and it even happened overnight. Over time, dozens of monks disappeared one after another, and the situation even got worse."

"That's roughly what the situation looks like."

Wang Hao frowned slightly:

"Maybe someone is fishing in troubled waters?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lingweizi shook his head and said:

"So your Uncle Hu and I have worked together to refine hundreds of thousands of markers and prepare to mark all the monks in the Mori Kingdom. Once there is a missing case, we can immediately follow the location of the markers to find them."

"If it's a robbery or a murder, we can tell it right away."

Then he sighed:

"But this method is stuck with these casual cultivators."

The song asks for a nod of approval:

"Indeed, these casual cultivators are cautious or robbing by nature, and do not trust anyone unless forced to do so. However, there are so many rogue cultivators in Mori State now, and it is impossible for them all to plant marking talismans."

Lingweizi nodded, then looked at Wang Ba.

Seeing Wang Ba's brows furrowed, he didn't seem to have thought of any good solution. He was slightly disappointed, but he still comforted him:

"Wang Hao, it doesn't matter if you can't think of a solution to this matter. Your master asked you to go out and gain experience, but he didn't ask you to stay here and meditate with us."

When Wang Bao heard this, his brows relaxed slightly and he said with a faint smile:

"As for the uncle, the two uncles treat the disciples with good intentions. The affairs of the two uncles are naturally the disciples' affairs..."

Hearing Wang Ba's words, Hu Zaixi couldn't help but smile:

"You kid, you just talk to make people feel comfortable!"

Lingweizi coughed lightly and said insincerely:

"I didn't give you any help either."

But his voice weakened unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

On the other hand, he still tried to dissuade:

"We have accepted your wishes. If you need to practice, go practice. If you need to travel, go travel. Don't waste time just because we are here."

Qu Zhongqiu couldn't help but look at Wang Ba with strange eyes.

It seemed that Yao Wudi, who was undefeated, arrogant and unruly, could not have expected that he would have such a disciple.

Wang Yan smiled and said:

"Uncle, are you looking down on others? Although this disciple doesn't have a perfect solution, he has thought of a possible idea."

"oh?"

Lingweizi was a little surprised when he heard this, and then quickly said:

"you say."

Hu Zaixi also quickly stared at Wang Hao.

Qiu Zhongqiu has no expectations.

Over the years, he has seen many disciples come to the sect. At first, they were full of confidence like Wang Yan, but in the end they failed.

Therefore, he has no hope for methods and ideas that have not really achieved results.

"yes."

Wang Yan did not pause, and immediately expressed his thoughts:

"It is almost impossible for the two uncles to mark all the monks in the entire forest country without any gaps... Therefore, our goal should be to include as many monks as possible."

"Since the casual cultivators have no fixed residence and are extremely mobile, they can easily be evenly distributed in a certain area. In this way, as long as we monitor the occurrence of disappearances there in time, we can quickly locate the location..."

"Yes, I think so too."

Lingweizi nodded.

Wang Ba smiled and said:

"Then it's very simple. Just divide these casual cultivators into three groups: those who are easy to accept Markers, those who are not easy to accept Markers, and those who refuse to accept Markers."

"Three groups?"

Lingweizi frowned slightly, vaguely seeming to realize what Wang Ba was going to say.

Wang Yan asked instead:

"I dare to ask, Uncle Master, what is the price of a marking talisman?"

"price?"

Lingweizi frowned slightly, thought about it silently, shook his head and said:

"This thing is just a piece of talisman paper and cinnabar, and the cost is at most two or three low-grade spiritual stones."

"How about adding an additional warning function? It can be sensed by us."

"Warning? Counting hundreds of thousands of copies, each one only costs half a piece of low-grade spiritual stone. This thing is really simple."

"Then sell it for twenty yuan."

Wang Yan said without hesitation.

"ah?"

Hu Zaixi couldn't help but look surprised.

Qu Zhongqiu also looked at Wang Ba in surprise.

Only Lingweizi was thoughtful.

Wang Hao quickly said:

"Just sell it in the ghost market. As long as you hold the marker, you can ask us for help in time to prevent it from being robbed by the robbers."

"By the way, remember to spread the word. There have been many powerful tribulation cultivators in Sen Country recently."

Lingweizi couldn't help stroking his palms and praising:

"I understand, while creating a crisis, give them a solution and let them take the initiative to ask us for help. This will solve their trust problem in us."

"Uncle Master really has a sharp eye and can see through the disciple's thoughts at a glance."

Wang Ba said with admiration.

Lingweizi shook his head repeatedly:

"You don't have to put gold on my face. Before you said it, I wouldn't have thought of it at all... However, these are the ones who are easy to accept us, what about the ones who are not easy to accept and reject us?"

"That's easy, give them a reason to come...Uncle Master, what do you think the casual cultivators fear most and what they want most?"

"What you most fear and want most?"

Lingweizi frowned, looking thoughtful.

Hu Zaixi and Qu Zhongqiu on the side couldn't help but start thinking.

Soon, Hu Zaixi’s eyes lit up and he said:

"Rogue cultivators are afraid of sect disciples!"

"What I want most is the spiritual stone!"

Hearing this, Lingweizi shook his head and said:

"What casual cultivators want most is all the necessary cultivation resources."

Wang Ba did not speak.

But at this time, Qu Zhongqiu suddenly said:

"What casual cultivators fear most is the oppression of big forces, and what they want most is someone who can become a big force..."

Wang Ba looked at Qu Zhongqiu with some surprise, then nodded and said:

"The two uncles are right, and uncle Qu is also very willing to say it."

"This disciple was once a casual cultivator, and he understands the situation of a casual cultivator quite well. In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: lack of security."

"They cannot rely on powerful forces like the disciples of the sect. They will not be bullied, exploited or even robbed by other forces anytime and anywhere. They will not have stable access to resources like the disciples of the sect."

"The precarious situation may be an exaggeration, but the crisis of the Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Gods sweeping across all countries has intensified the uneasiness in the hearts of these casual cultivators who have left their hometowns. To solve this problem, given the current environment, there is only one way, that that is--"

"Become part of a powerful force!"

Hear the last words.

Lingweizi's heart was shocked, and he felt suddenly cheerful, and he quickly asked:

"You mean to use recruiting disciples as a guide to lead all the casual cultivators over?"

Wang Yan nodded: "Yes, and set a threshold at the same time. If you want to become a disciple, you have to pay some low-grade spiritual stones to enter and receive a ticket. In order to prevent the ticket from being stolen by gangsters, the ticket must be bound to your identity... …”

"The ticket is the marker!"

Hu Zaixi's eyes shone.

"That's right."

Lingweizi became more and more excited as he spoke:

"The casual cultivators are worried about the future situation, and they all want to be protected by big forces. Is there a bigger force than us in the forest country? They can only come here! In that case, there is no need to sell any marking symbols before, just get them directly Isn’t this enough?”

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then said with a look of shame on his face:

"This... I won't hide it from the three uncles. This is also a bit of selfishness on the part of the disciple. I have also been a casual cultivator and know how difficult it is to be a casual cultivator. Most of the people who buy mark talismans are honest monks who keep their integrity. If we can get more care from the sect, we may have a little more chance of survival in this troubled world... The sect is not at a loss. 20 low-grade spiritual stones per person, as long as 10,000 people buy it, it will make up for everything. Marker expenditures.”

Hear Wang Ba's words.

Lingweizi and Hu Zaixi were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but nodded slightly.

When he looked at Wang Ba, his eyes were full of approval.

Qu Zhongqiu looked at Wang Ba with strange eyes.

He suddenly said:

"Your idea is good, but after all, we can't really recruit so many people. If these casual cultivators don't get what they want, they will feel resentful towards us because of the tickets... People's hearts are like this, and this is What should I do?”

Faced with Qu Zhongqiu's doubts, Wang Yan still said calmly:

"This is also simple. First, inform everyone at the beginning that there are only a few places available this time."

"Second, the three uncles can open a forum to teach the Dharma. Even if these people don't get the opportunity to enter the sect, they can hear the monks from the sect teach them the Dharma. If they lack inheritance, they will definitely feel that they have taken advantage."

"Open a forum to teach the Dharma?"

The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other.

But they all shook their heads.

"No, no!"

Wang Hao was stunned and asked in confusion: "What? Is there a problem?"

"have."

Hu Zaixi shook his head and said:

"Although most of the casual cultivators are far inferior to the disciples of the sect, there are also some outstanding talents. There are some in Senguo now. Their understanding of cultivation is no less than ours. We really don't have the face to open a forum to give lectures. Go up."

Wang Ba couldn't help but look at Lingweizi and Qu Zhongqiu.

"Uncle Hu, you are right. This is indeed the case. Unless Huashen speaks in person, we will be embarrassed to go up. But where are we going to find Huashen to teach the Dharma to a group of casual cultivators?"

Lingweizi shook his head.

Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Opening a forum to teach the Dharma is the cheapest way. If it doesn't work, I'll think about it again..."

But at this moment, Qu Zhongqiu suddenly said:

"As for transforming into a god, there really is one in Mori Kingdom now."

"Um?"

Lingweizi and Hu Zaixi were startled, and then they both reacted:

"You mean, Elder Zhang Songnian of the Changsheng Sect?"

Qu Zhongqiu nodded slightly and looked at Wang Yan:

"Your method is indeed somewhat feasible. Elder Zhang Songnian and I are quite familiar with each other, and I have helped him with some small help in the past. If I ask him to teach the Dharma, it might be possible."

Hu Zaixi couldn't help but said: "Then why are you hesitating?"

Lingweizi also nodded and said:

"I also asked Senior Brother Qu to take a hard trip."

Qiu Saran said in the song:

"This is also my duty as a guard, so it's not hard work."

After that, he glanced at Wang Yan with a smile, waved his long sleeves, and then left gracefully.

Wang Ba also immediately asked Lingweizi and Hu Zaixi for advice.

But what surprised Wang Ba was that not long after, Qu Zhongqiu came back again.

When he came back, there was a majestic figure standing behind him.

But as soon as this figure walked in, his eyes swept over Wang Ba with deep meaning.

For some reason, Wang Hao faintly noticed from the other party's eyes that the other party seemed to be no stranger to him.

"strangeness……"
