Chapter 45: The lotus is as clear as water, the meaning is as deep as abyss (1)
The general situation is that Mrs. Hua wants to find a void world for the Chamber of Commerce at the "Bixiao Qingtan" meeting, so that the Chamber of Commerce can be legitimately stationed in the north and expand its space.
But this "Bixiao Qingtan" limits the scope of the area, that is, it can only be attended by monks and sects from the Three Lakes area in the northern part of the world. I want to come to the Xiyu League, but I don't want the fat water to fall into the fields of outsiders, and I won't be knocked out by someone in my heart.
For some reason, the Chamber of Commerce was very interested in the "enclave" here and took the initiative to find Xue Pingzhi to cooperate. It was precisely because she also received the invitation from "Bixiao Qingtan" and was qualified to compete for the void world.
Xue Pingzhi did not refuse the proposal of joining forces between the two sides, but only asked to divide the benefits equally, and to obtain a permanent place in that void world.
Perhaps as Luo Yuniang said, due to the great disasters of heaven and earth and the demon disaster, the Baihua Valley where their master and disciples live is no longer a good place, so they need to find a pure place again.
However, it would be too far to find another void world directly.
Mrs. Hua did not object to Xue Pingzhi's conditions, nor did she take the initiative to negotiate and compete for profit. However, a man's voice sounded over there:
"I think the conditions of Mr. Heiji Yuan are inappropriate."
Someone came again? Just as Yu Ci was on a boat that had bypassed the Biye of Zhitian, his eyes suddenly became clear. He looked up and saw that in the four corners of the water pavilion, in addition to Mrs. Hua, Xue Pingzhi and Luo Yuniang, there was also a man with a handsome face, nine feet long, covered with a green robe in the lake, and a high crown, which was very eye-catching.
As Yu Ci's eyes projected over, several people in the water pavilion also looked over.
Although the three beauties had different expressions, they were all considered polite and kind, which made the tall man look different.
The look of this person's ejaculation was so sharp that he tensed up from the moment he saw Yu Ci.
Yu Ci didn't know when he offended this person, but he didn't care. He climbed straight to the water pavilion and thanked Mrs. Hua, saying that the cold spring was very effective.
Mrs. Hua smiled and said, "It's good that the Lord of Heaven feels comfortable."
Her statement made the man with high crown next to her look even worse.
Yu Ci was too lazy to see the cold face of this man. Seeing that Mrs. Hua and others were still dressed last night and were even stained with the fragrance of wine, she asked, "Mrs. and Yuan Jun didn't rest last night?"
Mrs. Hua smiled lightly: "I have no time to go, and I don't want to spend time at will. Unless I'm particularly tired, I usually stop going to bed."
Yu Ci was slightly stunned when she heard this, and Mrs. Hua took this opportunity to introduce the man with a high crown to him.
"This is Ao Xiu, the deputy head of the Long Seal Hall of our Sea Chamber of Commerce. He has been training outside the territory for a hundred years and killed countless demons. He has achieved immortality last year and has a bright future."
Yu Ci said "Oh" and the first meeting of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce was the surname Ao, and this person should have an extraordinary background.
Mrs. Hua then said to Ao Xiu: "Lord Ao, Yuanxu Tianjun is in front of you, you have come to see him."
...
A moment of blankness appeared in the water pavilion, and Ao Xiu's face became increasingly ugly. Do you think of him as a child?
It is obvious that in Mrs. Hua's eyes, he was not regarded as a person who could be on par with Yu Ci. This scene had happened once when he introduced Xue Pingzhi to him.
Mrs. Hua has a transcendent position in the Chamber of Commerce and he has no objection;
Xue Pingzhi was the master of the great kalpa Dharma that was famous all over the world, and he also recognized it;
But Yu Ci is just a rookie who emerged in this disaster. He has not been practicing Taoism for fifty years. In terms of age, Ao Xiu is more than ten times more than Yu Ci. Perhaps his status and influence are indeed worse, but can't his peers make friends? Why should he be short of his previous generation? He...he must endure it!
Ao Xiu is actually not the kind of person who is extremely emotional. In addition to the first circle of the core association, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce also has five halls of scales, horns, claws, beads, and seals. The Long Yin Hall where he is located is a hall where he truly holds real power and influences the overall situation. Most of the most promising monks of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce have to be gilded in this hall.
It is not only because his surname is "Ao", but also because he is of considerable standard.
At least he knew very well when he had to keep his temper so that he would not lose face.
Ao Xiu just turned his face so blue, took a step forward, owed Yu Ci, and said "Heavenly Lord".
Yu Ci knew that Ao Xiu was unwilling to do so, and he would never say anything like "We can just talk about friendship with each other" and just nodded and replied, "Lord Ao", and there was nothing to say.
As for why Ao Xiu became hostile to him, he felt a little confused. Feeling his emotional changes, his jealousy and alertness were even strong, probably because he had a good impression of Mrs. Hua, or he regarded Mrs. Hua as a treasure pot for making money, and he did not want to show it to others, and so on.
After saying hello to both sides, Ao Xiu tried hard to forget the source of unhappiness next to him, and therefore he worked harder to lobby Xue Pingzhi, hoping that this key figure could agree to their conditions.
In fact, in Yu Ci's opinion, Xue Pingzhi was originally intended to cooperate, and Ao Xiu was still entangled in some details, and the pattern was a little small, and he was inferior, and he seemed to be chattering endlessly in appearance, which was difficult to give people a favor.
Didn’t Mrs. Hua just pursed her lips and smiled, and she had entered the mode of watching coldly?
Well, there may be other tricks here.
Mrs. Hua might have been tired of seeing it, so she looked back and talked to him: "The Heavenly Lord has also received an invitation, and she should have ideas about those void worlds."
Yu Ci replied: "One of these places is to clear the old land for me, and this time I am about to take it back."
"Is it that death star?" Mrs. Hua obviously did some homework and nodded, "It is said that there are indeed traces of the talisman formation arranged by the sect, but they were damaged by the impact of the demons outside the domain. However, there is still a lack of key evidence. If the Heavenly Lord wants to come back, he may have some more thoughts."
Yu Ci smiled and said, "The old land of Shangqing is all about Shangqing, so how can I ask for it?"
He spoke very domineeringly, which made Xue Pingzhi and others look at him, and Ao Xiu even sneered.
Yu Ci was not angry either. He knew very well that he could only say this to express his attitude. At the "Bixiao Qingtan" meeting, it is best to abide by the rules in his words and deeds, otherwise it would be a violation of the law that Xiyu League has lasted for many years.
Not to mention that he can't afford it now, even the Shangqing Sect in its heyday must think carefully.
After thinking about it, he asked, "I heard that in Bixiao's talk, we should assign a charter to the Void World. So far, have you figured out one, two, and three?"
