There are many methods used by sects to control their disciples, and they are not all maintained by emotions. One of the most important points is the sect's martial arts. Establish a system and release the inheritance part by part based on the accumulation of contributions, so it will be difficult for disciples to leave the sect. The more you learn, the harder it is to leave.
Jiang Wang directly threw out the "Spiritual Destruction Scroll" at this time, naturally showing an air of grandeur.
"I am obsessed with spiritual practice and will often retreat. There is no suitable place in Chengguo, so I may be away often."
Jiang Wang simply explained the premise and then went straight to the point: "From now on, Elder Wei will act as the palace master and can make decisions on all matters. I have only one request, develop in a low-key manner and don't have any ambitions for supremacy. Elder Zhuge will supervise the sect. If there is something illegal inside, deal with it if you can. If you can’t, just write it down first and wait for me to come back and deal with it.”
After looking at his two 'confidants' to make sure they heard what he said clearly, Jiang Wangcai continued: "If there is an emergency and you are unable to make a decision on your own, you can go to Lingxiao Pavilion to find a person named Ye Qingyu. She will inform me."
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun were stunned at the same time, knowing that the new palace master had revealed something. It is both support and deterrence. Immediately, he bowed his head and bowed his head to show his loyalty.
Pulling out this piece of tiger skin from Lingxiao Pavilion might be able to suppress them for a while longer.
Jiang Wang's arrangements for the Lingkong Palace can be considered to be his best. What happens in the future depends more on luck.
Later, he discussed the development strategy of Lingkong Palace with Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun. Jiang Wang strongly advocates streamlining the system. No matter how glorious the Lingkong Temple was in the past, there is no need to cling to history now.
The first thing is to streamline the dozens of original halls, abolish them, merge them, and reduce them to only nine. This will be Wei Bofang's next long-term job and a great opportunity for him to penetrate his own power.
Jiang Wang didn't mind Wei Bofang holding power, as long as he could make a difference.
In the next few days, he used the power of the palace master to support Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun in their work, giving them great support and allowing them to adapt to their new identities in the shortest possible time.
The remaining elders of Lingkong Palace were all very sensible. At least when Jiang Wang was in charge, they all kept to their own devices and did not let any blood-splattering accidents happen in the palace. As for what will happen after leaving, it depends on Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun's own methods.
Regarding this round of power changes within Lingkong Palace, it did not cause too much trouble in the outside world. Those who can't afford to offend Dou Shi, let alone those who "drive away" Dou Shi - even though this is just a misunderstanding.
As long as the tiger skin is easy to use, few people will go to the tiger to ask for an explanation.
After two days in Lingkong Hall, Jiang Wang announced his retreat and left Chengguo.
…
…
The time came on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the Tao calendar 3918.
They only stayed in Chiyun Mountain for one day, but more than ten days had passed in the outside world. When they left Chiyun Mountain, it was the 21st of the twelfth lunar month.
Out of some emotion that he couldn't explain, Jiang Wang deliberately stopped in the Qichang Mountains for a while when he returned to Lingxiao Pavilion.
He noticed that Zhuang's border troops had withdrawn. Previously, the border troops of Zhuang and Yong were facing each other in the Qichang Mountains, almost facing each other face to face.
Now in the Qichang Mountains, only the flags of the Yongguo border troops can be seen, still arrogant in the north of the mountains.
This was an expected result. Although Zhuang State was gradually gaining power, it still lacked the foundation to compete with Yong State.
But Jiang Wang still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
During the two days when Cheng Guo was in Lingkong Hall, he already knew the reason for the border conflict between Zhuang and Yong.
Shanyang City in Qinghe County is closer to the Qichang Mountains than Maple Forest City.
Mountains to the south and water to the north are Weiyang. As the name suggests, Shanyang City is located in the south of the Qichang Mountains.
Opposite the Qichang Mountains, the corresponding location of the Yong Kingdom is Leshan County, Lingbei Prefecture.
Yong State has a system of prefectures and counties. Generally speaking, "prefecture" can roughly correspond to "county", and "county" corresponds to "city". Of course, this isn't entirely accurate.
There are seven counties under the jurisdiction of the entire Lingbei Prefecture, and Leshan County is one of them.
What happened is not complicated.
There is a pair of brothers named Yang in Shanyang City who make a living by hunting. They hunted a white-fronted tiger in the Qichang Mountains. During the pursuit, the white-fronted tiger fell into the trap of a hunter named Zhang in Leshan County.
When the Yang brothers dragged the tiger back, they happened to be bumped into by Orion Zhang.
The two sides had a dispute over the ownership of the white-fronted tiger. The two brothers beat Hunter Zhang half to death, but before they could leave the Qichang Mountains, they were stopped by other hunters in Leshan County.
During the fight, the older brother of the two brothers was beaten to death on the spot. The younger brother ran back down the mountain and gathered a group of hunters from the same town to come back for revenge.
In this way, things got worse and worse, and hundreds of hunters gathered in the Qichang Mountains to fight.
In the end, the hunters from Shanyang City gained the upper hand in the fight, but at this time, the Yong Kingdom's border troops appeared...
Five hunters from Shanyang City were killed on the spot and more than two hundred were captured.
The escaped hunters returned to the city to cry, and Zhuang's border troops rushed out in full force.
As a result of the negotiation, the Yong Kingdom released the captive Orion, but refused to hand over the murderer of the Orion in Shanyang City. In the past, the Zhuang Kingdom's frontier army had tolerated it, but now that the country's power was gradually increasing, the Zhuang Kingdom's frontier army was no longer satisfied with this result.
As a result, the border troops of the two countries launched a ten-day confrontation in the Qichang Mountains.
Chengguo was far from friendly with Zhuang and Yong, and was relatively neutral. Therefore, there is another version of this story spread. It tells that Zhang Orion from Leshan County laid in wait for a white-fronted tiger for dozens of days. He finally waited until the white-fronted tiger fell into the trap, but was killed by the Yang brothers from Yangcheng, Zhuangguo Mountain. After taking advantage, he was too angry to argue, but was beaten half to death. The other hunters in Leshan County couldn't bear to stand up for him, which triggered a series of things...
In short, the father-in-law said the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right. At this point, it is difficult to objectively judge what is right or wrong. Everyone only stands from their own perspective, and in the end, strength will speak for itself.
Now the retreat of Zhuangguo's border troops has already explained the problem. There is still a gap between Zhuang and Yong, and this gap cannot be erased in a year or two.
It’s already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be approaching in a few days.
Jiang Wang planned to go to Qi State after New Year's Eve, and had chatted with Chong Xuan Sheng several times in Taixu Illusion Realm. He had been practicing very hard recently, business was calm, and Desheng Trading Company was also in good momentum.
Recently there is a new trading house in Linzi City, which has integrated many small chambers of commerce. It has grown rapidly and its owner is very mysterious...
It is said that Xu Gao'e was jealous of others on the offshore islands, and both he and his opponent were injured. In order to support his friend, Li Longchuan left Linzi overnight...
Gao Zhe has been in a state of trembling recently. The status of the future head of the family has been confirmed because his biggest competitor made a fool of himself in front of the watchman...
It seems that Yan Fu is about to be arranged for a marriage...
Probably some trivial matters like this.
In short, Zhongxuan Sheng said everything was fine and there was no problem.
But Jiang Wang could still sense the urgency in his heart.
When Chongxuanzun left Jixia Academy, it was time for them to face off, and Chongxuansheng no longer had any reason to escape.
…
After stopping his thoughts for a moment, Jiang Wang took one last look at the Qichang Mountains, and then wanted to return to Lingxiao Pavilion.
"You can't fight." An old voice sounded from behind.
It seemed like they were just chatting, but it made people feel nervous.
Who brought him to such a dangerous distance?
Jiang Wang put his hand on the hilt of his sword and turned around calmly.
Then he saw an old man with black hair.
He is wearing a white robe, tall and thin.
His face looked old, but as black as ink.
Jiang Wang had never seen him face to face before, but he had already remembered it deeply——
Du Ruhui!
