Chapter 243 Lobbyist
"Disciples Yang Changqing and He Honghua, pay their respects to the sect master!"
Facing Wei Xuan again, Yang Changqing was inevitably a little embarrassed, but he had to bow respectfully.
Now that the framework for establishing the Shangqing Dao Sect has been set, Wei Xuan, as the leader of the sect and the Taoist disciple, has the most respected status.
The old Taoist Xuan Ming has a very high status in Maoshan, but this is not the case in this new sect. Being on the same level as Wei Xuan in terms of seniority actually gives Maoshan a lot of face.
Otherwise, if Maoshan comes over and establishes an independent peak, it can only be regarded as Wei Xuan's disciple status.
Therefore, although Yang Changqing was a generation younger, he had nothing to say. After all, Maoshan begged Qinglongshan for this matter.
Yang Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but Wei Xuan didn't care about it. He planned to kill Xu Hailiang at the beginning, but why not do it the same now?
Those who deserve to be killed must be killed, but those who deserve to be kept must also be kept. When the water is clear, there will be no fish and people, and when the water is clear, there will be no disciples. Sometimes it depends on how people are used, especially now when there is an extreme shortage of people.
This Yang Changqing is just a little short-sighted and pays too much attention to his own small interests. As long as he hits it regularly, it is not a major issue of principle.
With Wei Xuan's current broadmindedness and wisdom, he would not be able to tolerate such a person. If that were the case, he would have been killed directly in Maoshan.
"You two come out with me!"
Wei Xuan didn't waste any time and took the two of them directly and left Qinglong Mountain.
"I wonder where the sect is going?"
Yang Changqing was not a calm-tempered person, so he couldn't help but ask while flying in the air.
"Do you know anyone from Qingtian Temple in Maoxian Cave in Bagong Mountain?"
Yang Changqing was stunned for a moment and replied: "Cui Changtian, the host of Qingtian Temple, is my friend for many years. Are we going to Qingtian Temple?"
"It is said that some people in Qingtian Temple survived and saved a group of people. Now I intend to incorporate Qingtian Temple into the Shangqing Taoist Sect. What do you think?"
"This~"
Yang Changqing hesitated.
When Wei Xuan asked him what he meant, he was not simply asking about his attitude. If it was really a matter of decision-making, he would definitely not ask himself or bring him along.
Yang Changqing immediately realized that he wanted to become a lobbyist!
It's just that after this end, the world has changed drastically, and people's hearts have also changed along with it.
In peacetime, we are friends and there is no exchange of interest, so we can naturally sit together and drink tea politely, saying hello to me and hello to everyone.
Now it is said that Qingtian Temple is included in Shangqing Dao Sect, but in fact it means to annex the other party, at least the other party may think so.
Not to mention others, even he himself had some resistance.
"Nowadays, the human race is weak and joint development is the general trend. It is the general trend to stay together to keep warm. Qingtian Temple is my lineage of Xuanmiao Taoism. As long as you can understand this truth, I believe that you will happily agree to join the Shangqing Taoist Sect."
Yang Changqing is impatient, but that doesn't mean he is also stupid. Naturally, he won't say that this thing won't work, but he doesn't dare to blindly guarantee it, so he chose a relatively tactful answer.
Wei Xuan was noncommittal and did not continue to speak, but he had decided in his heart that although Yang Changqing had good powers, his personal abilities were not very useful.
After flying all the way, when he landed in front of the gate of Qingtian Temple, Wei Xuan couldn't help but admire that this was indeed a quiet and good place, especially after the disaster, the plants grew wildly, and even more so, the Taoist temple was hidden in it.
"who?"
As soon as the three of them landed, a group of militiamen, holding swords, guns and clubs in their hands, surrounded them with vigilant expressions.
At the same time, melodious bells rang inside Qingtian Temple.
Obviously this shelter has an extremely thorough and rapid early warning and response mechanism.
When the bell rang, two Taoist priests and three ordinary people were seen jumping down from the Taoist temple on the mountain at extremely fast speeds.
Judging from their speed and movement skills, these five people are obviously awakened ones.
When Yang Changqing saw the person coming, his eyes immediately lit up, he stepped forward to greet him and said, "Master Cui, long time no see!"
"Master Yang, why are you here?"
Among the two Taoist priests, the older one was probably Cui Changtian. He was very surprised when he saw Yang Changqing.
It's not easy to stay alive these days, let alone see each other across a hundred or two hundred kilometers.
Yang Changqing knew his mission, and was really surprised to see Cui Changtian, so he stepped forward to talk to Cui Changtian very eagerly.
According to Cui Changtian's introduction, another Taoist priest named Xie Baoshu was also a Taoist priest from Qingtian Temple and could be regarded as Cui Changtian's junior brother.
The other three people, two men and one woman, named Cai Junjie, Hu Weiliang and Pan Xiaoyu, are all nearby residents and tourists at the scenic spot. They were forced to gather together because of the disaster.
Fortunately, among the many refugees, they awakened their powers and became the patron gods of this refuge.
Xu Hailiang didn't report random information, and the information he got was pretty much the same.
There are indeed many refugees gathered here. Thanks to the blessing and rescue of Cui Changtian and others, the number of surviving people has actually reached more than 12,000.
This is definitely a large number of people in the last days.
Especially in such religious places, Cui Changtian and other awakened people are treated as gods by the survivors, so they are highly respected.
"Master Cui, in this era, it is difficult to survive in a single shelter. Not to mention the most basic things such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and disease treatment, zombies continue to evolve, and various plants and animals undergo demonic transformations. It will also threaten the survival of mankind. We came here actually hoping to join forces with Qingtian Temple to jointly create a strong human community."
Cui Changtian invited the three people into the temple, and after introducing each other, Yang Changqing introduced the reason for their visit under Wei Xuan's instructions.
Upon hearing this, Xie Baoshu's face immediately showed a wary look, and he said vigilantly: "You and I are so far apart, how can we unite?"
"Since we can come here, how can this distance be a problem!"
Yang Changqing didn't know how to answer this question, but Wei Xuan smiled and answered.
Then Cui Changtian glanced at Wei Xuan and Yang Changqing, changed the subject and said: "The distinguished guests have come from afar and must be tired. Why don't we take a rest here now and talk about the business later? Besides, this kind of thing doesn't last for a while. It can be decided as soon as possible, and we need to discuss it ourselves!"
Yang Changqing looked at Wei Xuan unconsciously, and Wei Xuan smiled, without pressing too hard, and nodded and said: "It's good, the scenery here is beautiful, and it's also the place where Patriarch Sanmao practiced. As a Taoist disciple, it's just right. Also pay your respects and pay homage."
"Xiaoyu used to be the tour guide of our scenic spot. If you are not weak, let her accompany you around!" Cui Changtian recommended casually.
Wei Xuan knew that the other party wanted to get rid of him, so he didn't care in his heart and turned around and walked out coolly.
