Zuo Ci stood up, clasped his hands, bowed and said, "Zuo Ci, pay homage to the Lord."
His expression was respectful and his salute was very natural. There was no trace of the fact that he had been angry with Lu Xuan before. Such a posture is like that of an old man who has been loyal to Lu Xuan for a long time.
Zhou Yu saw this and was a little surprised by Zuo Ci's transformation, and even more admired Lu Xuan in his heart.
The lord's methods are so powerful!
Especially Zuo Ci surrendered to Lu Xuan because he could get benefits. Even if there was a conflict before, Zuo Ci would go all out to serve Lu Xuan.
Now, it is a matter of prosperity and prosperity.
Lu Xuan looked gentle and said slowly: "With the help of Daoist Zuo, I am even more powerful than a tiger. Next, I would like to ask Daoist Zuo to live in the house temporarily. What do you think?"
Zuo Ci nodded in agreement.
Lu Xuan continued: "I fully support the Taoist Priest's consumption in the house. If the Taoist Priest wants to make elixirs, I support it. Just do it. For now, what the Taoist Priest has to do is your own business. We will wait in the future. After I expand and control various places, the Taoist leader will have to integrate the Taoist sects in various places so that the people who believe in the Taoism can live and work in peace and contentment and live a stable life."
Religions like Taoism have always existed and cannot be banned. If you want to abolish it, it will develop secretly.
Buddha and Tao are the same.
What Lu Xuan has to do is to use it and turn the religious power of Taoism to his own use.
This system is not easy to implement.
Just do it step by step.
Zuo Ci was a little surprised and said in shock: "My lord, there are many Taoist sects in the world. There is the Five Pecks of Rice Tao in Bashu. I belong to the Taiqing Dan Tao. There are countless Taoist sects in other places. It is almost impossible to integrate the Taoist sects in the world." "
Lu Xuan looked confident and said: "Why is it impossible? There is no road in the world. The more people walk, the more people become the road. There is no leader in the Taoist sect, and there is no heavenly master recognized by everyone in the world. So why can't Taoist Zuo do it? Where is this leader?"
hiss!
Zuo Ci took a deep breath.
He was a little horrified.
The leader of the Taoist sect.
Taoist heavenly master.
This is a supreme honor.
Zuo Ci looked at Lu Xuan at this moment, with unprecedented horror in his eyes. He did not expect that Lu Xuan had such great ambitions and wanted to control all the Taoist powers. Think about it, once it happens, it will be an unprecedented opportunity.
Zuo Ci is a wandering warlock and has some influence in the Taoist sect, but in fact it is far from enough.
Thinking of this, Zuo Ci became excited, and the eyes he looked at Lu Xuan were even more fiery.
My lord, you are truly a god.
Zuo Ci's heart was burning, and he solemnly said: "This is a humble position. I should be driven by my lord, and I will not give up even if I die."
Lu Xuanxiao said: "I don't need the Taoist priest to fight to the death, what I need is for you to integrate the power of the Taoist sect for me. Our current power is in Shu County, starting from Shu County, then Lujiang County, and then to the counties in Yangzhou . Take it step by step, don’t rush.”
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Zuo Ci answered quickly.
Zhou Yu saw all this in his eyes and sighed in his heart, another person was bewitched.
The Lord's words are so powerful.
He didn't know why, but he followed Lu Xuan wholeheartedly. Now looking at Zuo Ci's condition, he has been deceived and crippled. Thinking about the good life of the leader of the Taoist sect, he is completely on the side of the master.
People, that's it.
Once you have desires and ideas, once the obsession deep in your heart is drawn out, it will no longer be controllable.
Lu Xuan said: "I will ask someone to arrange a courtyard for Taoist Zuo to live."
Zuo Ci looked humble and said respectfully: "My lord, you don't need to spend a lot of time. A room for me is enough. There are many Lu family members, and me occupying a courtyard alone will bring trouble to my lord."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The Lu family is big enough and has a sufficient yard. I will arrange immediately for the Taoist priest to bring the children around him."
Immediately, he called for his personal entourage, arranged Zuo Ci's residence, and then asked someone to take Zuo Ci down.
Zhou Yu looked at Zuo Ci's leaving figure and asked impatiently: "My lord, you mentioned some magic spells before, such as lotuses blooming instantly, gods arresting ghosts, lamp smoke turning into snakes, and ghost fire disappearing, what are these? What’s the secret?”
Lu Xuan explained: "In the final analysis, it's not a mystery, it's just that you don't understand the tricks. For example, the bones of the fried ghosts previously had been processed and mercury was added to them."
"Once the oil temperature rises, the mercury will rush inside the bones and make a scream like a howl."
"Another example is when I boil oil to wash my hands, there is vinegar underneath. When the temperature in the pot rises slightly, the vinegar boils first and rises. It looks like the oil is boiling."
"As for the sword that kills evil spirits, I have long used special ink to draw the dismembered corpse on the paper. After the ink dried, the patterns drawn on the paper disappeared. When these patterns encountered the turmeric water, they all appeared, and they were Blood red."
"As for what I mentioned, lotuses bloom instantly, gods restrain ghosts, etc., they are all various tricks."
"Just listen to these."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, they are all deceptions. You can go outside and find any wandering Taoist priest. These people will know more or less. After summarizing many magic techniques, these are the natural ones."
"well……"
Zhou Yu sighed.
In an instant, he lost his curiosity and just felt a little bored.
It's all a scam.
Lu Xuan changed the subject and asked: "How is the training of the black armored soldiers progressing now?"
"It's difficult!"
Zhou Yu frowned.
He looked helpless, sighed, and continued: "Tai Shici was responsible for the training of the black-armored soldiers, and it went very smoothly. The refugees had enough to eat and drink, and they practiced in an orderly manner. They worked very hard and didn't need to worry."
"But if you teach them to read and write, all of them are stupid and can't learn it at all."
"The strategy I am adopting now is an arrangement of rewards and punishments. If you can complete the literacy task first, I will reward you. If you fail to complete the task, I will increase the intensity of training and then punish you."
Zhou Yu said: "Anyway, the current plan is to force everyone to write it down."
Lu Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once the foundation is established, the follow-up will be easier."
"I understand the humble position."
Zhou Yu nodded solemnly in reply.
He stood up and said, "It's late at night, I'm resigning from my humble position."
Lu Xuan saw Zhou Yu off personally and returned to the study to consider the upcoming wedding. He said he would give Da Qiao an unforgettable wedding, so naturally he couldn't break his promise and had to arrange it well.
Time passes day by day, and after entering April, the weather gradually becomes hotter.
This day is the eighth day of April.
Zhou Tai came with more than a hundred brothers from Jiang Shang, and Jiang Qin came with Zhou Tai.
This is also a tiger general.
Lu Xuan personally met with Jiang Qin, gave him a good reception, and finally asked Jiang Qin and all the soldiers to join the black armored soldiers and obey Tai Shici's orders. The sailors brought by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were part of the navy and were under the responsibility of Jiang Qin.
Zhou Tai was transferred from the army and became Lu Xuan's personal guard. The number of black-armored soldiers also expanded from more than 800 to 1,000.
After nearly a month of training, the black-armored soldiers have completely transformed.
All of them had eaten and drank enough. They all gained weight and became stronger. Moreover, under the training of Tai Shici, these people's combat effectiveness has been completely improved.
Zhou Yu made the black-armored soldiers literate and achieved great results. Most of the black-armored soldiers can read. The most can recognize five hundred characters, and the worst can recognize hundreds of characters. Everything is changing rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it’s April 16th.
This is the time for Lu Xuan to marry Da Qiao and get married.
On this day, the Lu family was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the house was bustling with excitement. Both the Lu family and Lu Xuan are ready.
In the afternoon, it was close to Shen time.
As the groom, Lu Xuan led the welcoming team out of the Lu family and headed to the Qiao family. According to the process Lu Kang told him, Lu Xuan would welcome Da Qiao back to the Lu family to get married before the auspicious time selected in the evening.
