Chapter 354: All kinds of calculations, just to open up a road...
After two months of preparation, all preparations for establishing the Shenxiao Sword Sect are ready.
Because Zhang Xiaofan ran away unexpectedly,
Yan Chixia was pulled out by Qin Mo to take the blame and temporarily take charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
After the five true disciples had chosen their favorite disciples, they selected suitable talents from among the disciples of the Demon Sect and built the structures of the Transmission Hall, General Affairs Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, and Foreign Affairs Hall one by one.
There was barely a rudimentary form of a sect.
Qin Mo didn't feel any pity about Zhang Xiaofan's family leaving. It would only be their loss.
Based on Qin Mo's understanding of Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan's aptitude was just above average, but he had a strong character and had the help of the five volumes of heavenly books, so his cultivation made rapid progress.
When it comes to the Spirit Transformation Stage, it obviously stagnates.
The key is that Zhang Xiaofan’s determination to seek the truth is not firm enough. He seems to be forced onto the path of cultivation and go with the flow. Compared with cultivation, he pays more attention to feelings.
This is also the main reason why Zhang Xiaofan left.
Such a character,
As for being a human being, there is no problem.
But for those who practice Taoism, it is a fatal weakness, and it becomes more serious as time goes by.
Without a firm and sincere heart to seek the truth,
How can one resist various temptations, overcome all difficulties, and survive the forty-nine heavenly tribulations and the five declines of the gods?
The so-called longevity,
In the end, it's nothing but an illusion.
Essentially,
Zhang Xiaofan is just a cook who doesn't ask for anything.
…
Three days later, the Shenxiao Sword Sect’s founding ceremony will be held.
By then,
In addition to the attendance of Tianshu high-level officials, the three Emei sects and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have also sent invitations.
It's their business whether they come or not.
As the ceremony was about to begin, one person had a sad face, and it was obvious that he had encountered a problem.
It was Diao Chan, who was in charge of the General Affairs Hall.
Look, Diao Chan came to Shenxiao Palace early in the morning and called out crisply: "Master~~~"
"What's the matter again?"
Qin Mo didn't buy it, this girl was used to acting coquettishly and cutely.
Outside,
But I don’t know how majestic it is.
Half a month ago, Diao Chan used the excuse that the General Affairs Hall was too poor to rob Qin Mo of the storage bag of Wudang's headmaster Ling Lingzi, and also took away a large number of low- and middle-level cultivation resources.
Just take away one thousand high-quality spirit stones.
The library and treasure house were enriched just by the inventory that slipped through Qin Mo's fingers.
It just goes to show the old saying: "The older a daughter gets, the more useless she becomes to her father!"
"Master, the General Affairs Hall is short of staff, what should we do?" Diao Chan's skin became thicker and thicker through practice, and she pretended not to see her master's ruthlessness.
"It's not enough. Didn't your senior brother assign a hundred disciples to the General Affairs Hall?" Qin Mo was surprised.
The outer disciples recruited this time number less than 500 in total. Excluding those with poor qualifications, bad conduct, and extreme temperaments, there are even fewer who can really be of great use.
Han Fei has been taking great care of the General Affairs Hall.
"Master, you don't know how many mineral veins, spiritual fields, and medicinal gardens we have in Shenxiao Mountain. We are short of people in every place. Senior Brother is also planning to incorporate the entire Qinling mineral veins into Shenxiao Mountain, which will increase the staffing gap even more." Diao Chan said.
The resources are too rich.
Sometimes it is also a kind of happy trouble.
Han Fei purchased land in advance because if the Shenxiao Sword Sect really wanted to be established, it would cost a lot of money every day for a large family, so he had to prepare for a rainy day.
We can't always rely on Qin Mo's personal pockets to subsidize the sect, right?
"Then let's hold a sect disciple recruitment conference." Qin Mo said.
Now that he has established the Shenxiao Sword Sect, Qin Mo will naturally not resort to small tricks. He must do whatever it takes to surpass the Emei, Qingcheng, and Wudang sects.
otherwise,
Wouldn't that ruin the Shenxiao Sect's reputation?
"Disciple-recruiting meeting?"
"That's right." Qin Mo nodded. "Select new talents with good aptitude from Blackwater City, the Three Kingdoms Subcontinent, and the Warring States Subcontinent to replenish the blood of the Shenxiao Sword School."
The dignified Shenxiao Sword Sect,
They can’t all be disciples of the Demon Sect.
Only new disciples who were trained from scratch would have the highest recognition and loyalty to the Shenxiao Sword Sect. Recruiting disciples of the Demon Sect was only a temporary expedient.
“This is good!”
Diao Chan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Let's do this for now. We'll discuss the disciple-recruiting conference after the ceremony is over." Things have to be done one by one. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
In order to spread the news that the Shenxiao Sword Sect is recruiting disciples, and taking into account the time the newcomers will spend on the road, the preparation period will require at least three to five months.
There is no need to rush.
"Um."
With the master's promise, Diao Chan suddenly felt confident.
…
One day later.
Zhou Shihong and Chu Jian rushed to Shenxiao Mountain first, preparing to attend the grand ceremony two days later.
"This is a bit sudden." Zhou Shihong said with a smile.
To be honest, when Zhou Shihong learned that Qin Mo founded the Shenxiao Sword Sect, he was a little panicked, fearing that Qin Mo would suddenly change his position, leave Tianshu, and join the sect camp.
That day, the Shu would really be finished.
Fortunately, Qin Mo later sent him a letter, saying that the Shenxiao Sword Sect was only based in the Honghuang Continent and would only recruit natives, and would not cause the division of Tianshu.
Zhou Shihong's heart finally settled down.
"I am just forcing things upon me. I can't just leave these evil cult disciples alone," Qin Mo explained.
Of course the real reason is not that simple.
Qin Mo is standing at Tianshu, but that doesn’t mean he has to merge with Tianshu and become one.
Especially in "Honghuang",
Sometimes, there are still some conflicts of interest between each other.
When Zhou Shihong took the initiative to ask for Xia Ao, Qin Mo vaguely realized that there was still some ideological conflict between him and Zhou Shihong.
This conflict,
Often it ends up being a dispute over interests.
Zhou Shihong is the kind of person who is dedicated to the public, which is certainly worthy of admiration. His personal charm has always influenced Qin Mo and many Tianshu monks, and he is regarded as the beacon of Tianshu.
But Qin Mo couldn't do that.
As a member of China, he can stand up decisively when China is in danger, but he can never put China's interests first at all times.
To put it bluntly,
Qin Mo has selfish motives.
His greatest selfish desire is immortality, which is his ultimate pursuit.
Only under this premise,
Only then can Qin Mo devote his energy to benefiting the world and doing something beneficial to China.
Rather than the other way around.
The ancients said: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."
Even if you are a successful person,
Saving the world is also a comprehensive approach, not the entire thing.
Qin Mo took advantage of the excuse of surrendering to the Demon Cult to set up the signboard of the Shenxiao Sword Sect, which was also, to some extent, a separation between him and Tianshu in "Honghuang".
future,
He could have done something through the Shenxiao Sword Sect instead of relying solely on Tianshu.
Qin Mo was unsure.
Has Zhou Shihong understood his thoughts?
But this does not prevent Qin Mo from still being a member of Tianshu, and still being the mainstay of Tianshu, and it does not even prevent his close cooperation with Zhou Shihong.
The world of adults,
There isn't so much black and white.
"The Shenxiao Sword Sect has grown stronger, which is also a good thing for Tianshu." Zhou Shihong lightly brushed it aside and turned to another topic, "What do you think about the next development of Blackwater City?"
Over the past two months,
While Qin Mo was busy planning the establishment of the Shenxiao Sword Sect, Zhou Shihong was busy resettling refugees, transferring them one by one to various cities in the Guanzhong Plain.
The next step is to reclaim farmland and establish a sound local governance system.
It seems like another cycle.
However, considering the current size of Blackwater City, it seems inappropriate to call it a city, and it is not legitimate to manage it.
"Then let's establish a country." Qin Mo said lightly.
China has not had the genes of a city-state system since ancient times.
country,
It is the symbol of Chinese rule.
"Then who will be the king?"
Zhou Shihong went straight to the core of the problem. In a world dominated by indigenous people, it is of course impossible to implement a political system that is too advanced, and one can only follow the ancient system.
"Of course it's you, the Lord of Blackwater City." Qin Mo said with a smile.
"With my status, being the city lord is already beyond the rules, how dare I be the king." Zhou Shihong smiled bitterly.
That's even more correct...
"Then I'll take charge."
Qin Mo said simply, "The new kingdom adopts a cabinet system, and all government affairs are decided by the cabinet chief, which is similar to a constitutional monarchy. I, the king, am just a mascot, with more symbolic significance than practical significance."
"That's fine."
Of course Zhou Shihong would not think that Qin Mo was greedy for royal power.
If that were the case,
Qin Mo would not have handed over the Dai Viet Dynasty to his younger brother.
and,
With Qin Mo's current status, being a king is really a bit of a condescension .
"If you become the king, the Shenxiao Sword Sect will be tied to the Blackwater City again, that's great." Zhou Shihong suddenly became happy, and he never forgot to pull Qin Mo into the circle.
Afraid that Qin Mo would go viral...
"We are in the same boat." Qin Mo said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Zhou Shihong was even happier, as if he had finally untied the knot in his heart, and felt much more cheerful. "By the way, I have another piece of news. Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple have both established their own mountain gates."
He was originally worried that these two major sects would be annexed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
“It’s to be expected.”
Qin Mo seemed to have anticipated one thing. For a sect that had been passed down for thousands of years, it would not be easy to be annexed unless it was at the end of its rope.
There is no way to deal with the Demon Cult.
"Now, the prehistoric continent has become more lively." Zhou Shihong said meaningfully.
"The Immortal Sect is thriving, this is a good thing."
Qin Mo is open-minded. He believes that the abundant resources of the prehistoric continent are enough to support the development of these sects. It is far from the point where they have to compete with each other for resources.
…
the next day,
Bai Hua, on behalf of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, rushed to Shenxiao Mountain to celebrate.
Among the three Emei sects, the head of the Emei sect, Li Yingqiong, and the head of the Qingcheng sect, Ji Deng, also brought people to attend the ceremony. Only the Wudang sect did not send anyone to attend because it was still brooding over the murder of its previous head, Ling Lingzi.
It seems that
The feud was completely settled.
In addition, Emperor Qin Xuan of the Dai Yue Dynasty brought his Prime Minister Xun Yu, prepared generous gifts, and came to Shenxiao Mountain to participate in the founding ceremony.
Even more surprising is that
Even the Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple, which had just settled in the Honghuang Continent, sent people to attend the ceremony.
It can be seen from this that
Qin Mo has quite a wide network of contacts.
