Six hundred and sixty-one chapters Cao Xingui
I frowned and said, "It must be Luo Zhongxing. He had lived in Jiufengshan for a fierce god, and it seemed that he didn't spend much effort."
Liang Houzai sighed: "If it were us, we might not be able to walk in front of the evil god for two or three rounds. If one day we really fight Luo Zhongxing, how should we deal with him?"
"The black and white diary alone has already made us anxious. It is not enough to deal with Luo Zhongxing alone." As I said this, I turned around and walked towards the Baiwu Mountain Hall.
After Zhao Dekai lost his power, Baiwu Mountain returned to its old form, but the economic situation of Baiwu Mountain has obviously improved over the years, and the ancient buildings have also been repaired, and they are no longer as dilapidated as when I came the first two times.
I have never been to Baiwushan Hall. I only know that it is located south of the entire underground palace. You should be able to reach it by walking along the main road directly to the south.
When they passed by Bailiantangkou, several patrolling Baiwu Mountain Gatemen also happened to pass by here. When they saw us, they immediately ran up to stop us and asked who we were and why we were active in Baiwu Mountain's territory but did not wear Baiwu Mountain's Taoist uniforms.
I said I was Zuo Youdao from the Shouzheng lineage, but they had never heard of the Shouzheng lineage, nor the Jihunzhuang, nor even knew Luo Fei, who had lived in Baiwu Mountain, nor the Luo family.
Later, Old Man Wei ran out of the hall. He drove away the disciples angrily, and then led us to the hall with a smile.
I asked Old Man Wei: "Is Bailiantang under your jurisdiction now?"
He smiled flatteringly and said, "We have not selected the new master of Bailian Hall and Xuanhuo Hall yet, and I will be in charge of it for the time being. Haha, those disciples just now are new, so it is normal not to know you. Don't blame them, it's not easy for them to be new."
I said, "Has Baiwu Mountain started to expand its scale now? I remember Yan Xiaotian once told me that Baiwu Mountain does not easily recruit disciples. Even if it recruits disciples, it is also recruiting from major clans."
Old Man Wei sighed: "The Baiwu Mountain is different now. The sect is starting to cultivate its own power to compete with several clans outside the Wei family. He has introduced a lot of fresh blood, but the elders will not let him do it. Now the internal conflicts in Baiwu Mountain are also very sharp. By the way, the left leader has heard of it. Just a while ago, the master's wife of our sect passed away."
I nodded: "I heard."
"She committed suicide," Old Man Wei came to me and said in a low voice: "You probably know that we are in charge of the party's feelings for that woman... I can't explain it clearly. Several elders discovered this and spread rumors everywhere, saying that our sect was messing with human relations and wanted to squeeze him out of the position. That woman was in a desperate situation for the cause of the sect."
In other words, Yan Xiaotian’s master’s wife was forced to death by several elders from Baiwushan.
At first I thought she had a terminal illness to die. In that case, Yan Xiaotian would probably feel better, but she actually made a mistake for Yan Xiaotian. I know Yan Xiaotian's character very well. Now he must think that he killed his master's wife.
It seems that Yan Xiaotian’s affairs are much more troublesome than I thought.
As he got closer to the hall, more and more Baiwushanmen patrolling the road gradually increased. Old Man Wei stopped and walked forward with his head down.
I can guess just by looking at his appearance. Among these patrolers, many of them were the eyeliners of other elders.
To be honest, I don’t trust this old man Wei who is changing his mind. It’s hard to say what role he plays in Baiwushan now.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, Old Man Wei said that Yan Xiaotian was inside, and then left in a hurry. I felt like he had a ghost in his heart and didn't want to face Yan Xiaotian.
There were several disciples guarding outside the hall gate. The Taoist robes on their bodies were all dark blue stripes, and they should be disciples from Baiwushan.
When we walked to the door, these disciples came over and stopped us and asked if we had any tokens to enter the hall. They probably saw that we were brought by Old Man Wei, and their tone was very respectful. One of them recognized me and bowed to me when they came up, and respectfully called me "Left Master".
But we really don’t have tokens, and Yan Xiaotian didn’t say before that we still need tokens to enter the hall.
Several gatekeepers were embarrassed to see that we had no tokens, and said they wanted us to wait, and said that Yan Xiaotian should have come out of the hall soon.
I have been very annoying to wait for people since I was a child. I became annoyed when the gatekeeper said this. I immediately shouted at the palace gate: "Yan Zhang Sect, a guest is here!"
Several Baiwushan disciples guarding the gate saw me shouting at the top of my voice, but did not stop me. Instead, they retreated to both sides of the hall gate, as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, Yan Xiaotian arrived at the door. He looked at the gatekeepers on both sides of the gate, and didn't say much, but just waved to us: "Come in."
Yan Xiaotian looked at us with a very kind look, but his tone was extremely cold. I had a vague feeling that it was not that he didn't want to talk more, but that he couldn't say more.
When I followed him into the main hall, I saw an old man sitting in the main hall. When he saw us, he frowned tightly and looked angry, and it seemed that we were not welcome.
Yan Xiaotian asked us to sit casually, then walked to the table near the south wall of the main hall, picked up a document and read it carefully.
As soon as we sat down, the old man who was in the same room as us asked me: "Are you Zuo Youdao?"
His attitude was not good, but I still had to be polite, so I bowed to him: "I am."
He didn't say anything anymore, just frowned and stared at me, and I looked at him, giving him a smile from time to time.
After a while, the old man turned to Yan Xiaotian again: "Zheng Sect, you should consider what I said."
Yan Xiaotian waved his hand: "No need to think about it, no. You can discuss it with other elders after you go back and change your mind."
The old man seemed a little anxious: "This matter is related to the foundation of Baiwu Mountain!"
Yan Xiaotian stared at the documents in his hand and said without any emotion: "Isn't the foundation of Baiwu Mountain ruined by Zhao Dekai?"
When Yan Xiaotian said the three words "Zhao Dekai", I saw the old man's eyebrows twitching violently.
He looked at Yan Xiaotian with anger in his eyes.
Yan Xiaotian put down the documents in his hand and said to the old man: "Do you need to dilute your shares? Recently, there are several large-scale financial resources to settle in."
After hearing what Yan Xiaotian said, the old man's tone suddenly softened: "It can't be diluted anymore, we don't have many shares now."
Yan Xiaotian picked up the corner of his mouth: "It's just diluting the shares. You will make more money after the financial resources enter. This is only beneficial, no harm for you."
The old man's eyes began to wander and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Yan Xiaotian waved his hand at him: "You go back first, I will consider the matter of shares."
The old man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything. Finally, he stood up, bowed to Yan Xiaotian, and then left in a depressed manner.
Until the old man walked away, Yan Xiaotian let out a long sigh and looked at me and said, "You came for my master's wife, right?"
I said, "We came for you."
Yan Xiaotian lay his entire upper body on the table, like a deflated ball. After a long time, he said vaguely: "Oh, you finally come, I can't stand it alone."
We have been very busy all these years and have no time to see him, but I don’t want to say this reason, it’s like I’m making excuses for myself.
At this time, Yan Xiaotian slowly raised his head. He looked at me with red eyes. He almost used all his strength to spit out a few words from the gap in his teeth: "Master's wife... she wasn't committing suicide."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Baiwushan disciple who had been guarding outside the gate rushed in and said that Elder Cao was here.
Yan Xiaotian tried hard to calm down, took a deep breath, and said, "Let him come in."
Within a few minutes, a fat middle-aged man with big ears entered the hall gate. He was wearing a simple casual outfit, without a brand, and the fabric was not necessarily good. He should be a street stall product, but he brought an extremely expensive watch on his wrist, which was the same brand as the watch given to me by Senior Brother Zhuang.
This outfit seems to be trying to tell others that he is rich, but simple.
After he came in, he first bowed to Yan Xiaotian, and then his eyes fell on us.
Several of us have had contact with the eldest wife of the Cao family, and most of the Cao family know us. As soon as he saw me, he immediately smiled and bowed to me, saying, "Oh, it's the left leader, I've been admired for a long time."
I also smiled and bowed to him, saying hello.
Yan Xiaotian introduced to me: "This is Elder Cao."
Elder Cao also echoed, "My name is Cao Xingui. After the death of the Second Uncle, I temporarily replaced him. Now he is the acting elder of Baiwushan, haha, the agent."
I smiled and asked politely: "Mrs. Cao is in good health?"
Elder Cao said with regret: "I left at this time last year. The old man walked away peacefully and did not suffer any serious crimes. In fact, it was okay if he left. The eldest grandmother worked for the Cao family for the rest of her life and finally stopped."
His expression of regret was completely fake. I felt that there was a bit of gloating in his tone.
This guy is not a good person, and his acting skills are not very good.
I thought so in my heart, but I still had to look very sorry on my face and sighed.
At this time, Yan Xiaotian spoke: "Elder Cao, you haven't come to Baiwu Mountain for a while. What kind of wind is blowing today? Did you blow you?"
Elder Cao changed his face and asked Yan Xiaotian anxiously: "Zhangsect, I heard that you want to dilute our shares again?"
Yan Xiaotian frowned: "What does 'want again'?"
Elder Cao said anxiously: "You can't dilute the shares anymore. Now the Cao family is almost unable to eat. Dilute it... We really have to go out to beg for food after dilution."
Yan Xiaotian: "Isn't you able to eat? Elder Cao is really good at joking. The dividends I have paid you over the years have been getting more and more year by year. I haven't heard you say this in the first two years. Why did you suddenly say that you can't eat today?"
Elder Cao: "You are the emperor who is far away from heaven. How can you know the suffering of us? You don't know that in the past two years, the Cao family has added a lot of new people. Don't look at these little bastards, you may be eating them one by one. Half of the money that the Cao family has received in the past two years has been paid to them."
