Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 233 Win people’s hearts

It’s not in vain that I love this kid so much. He knows how to find good things for himself.

After the game, the people went down the mountain chatting with each other.

I believe that this competition will spread far and wide through word of mouth.

Maoshan will also benefit greatly from this.

This is the significance of the Taoist Competition.

Propaganda is very important in any era.

In this age of media scarcity, word of mouth is the best way to spread information.

Master Qin and the elders warmly entertained all the wandering cultivators who came to Wanfu Palace.

We are all in the same boat, and we cannot just focus on the big sects.

In fact, these independent cultivators account for a large proportion in the spiritual world.

The Taoist organization has only forty major sects, and there are many smaller sects following it.

However, spiritual energy is scarce at present, and the number of people willing to go up the mountain and endure the hardships of practicing will only decrease.

Most people still prefer to find a master in the market to learn Taoism.

In the past, the big sects looked down on these independent cultivators, but now they cannot do without these people no matter if they want to obtain any information or find help.

Sure enough, when they learned that Maoshan planned to receive them in Wanfu Palace.

These independent cultivators expressed their gratitude very much.

I have a better impression of Maoshan.

What you eat is not important; what matters is the feeling of being respected.

Especially when they saw the dishes being served, they found that Maoshan had actually allocated meat and vegetarian dishes for them according to the Taoism they practiced.

The gratitude is beyond words.

"Amitabha! Good! Good!"

Master Ikkyu was also among them and saw plates of exquisite vegetarian dishes being served.

He chanted the Buddha's name and joined in the feast.

Not to mention Qingqing, who has been eating solid dry food every day during this period of time while following Master Ikkyu.

At first, it was okay when Taoist Simu was around, and I could get some delicious meals with him.

Later, Taoist Simu was assigned a job by Master Qin.

Sometimes there is no one to be seen at all.

This left the master and disciple dumbfounded. Master Ikkyu had no choice but to buy a bunch of dry food to prepare.

When they were hungry, the master and disciple would eat two.

Qingqing felt like her cheeks had grown bigger from biting the crickets.

Being able to eat such delicious food, the master and disciple of course had to eat a lot.

Master Qin stood up from his seat, and the elders beside him also stood up to accompany him.

“My fellow Taoists, the Taoist competition hosted by Maoshan was so successful, and we have to thank you all for your support.

Here, Qin and the elders of Mount Mao offer a toast to you all."

"Master Qin is too polite!"

"We should thank Master Qin for his hospitality."

After saying this, Master Qin picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Hundreds of casual cultivators below all drank a cup together.

Those who can drink can drink, and those who can't drink can drink tea instead.

"From now on, if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to the dojo of my Maoshan disciples.

As we are all Taoists, we should help each other and work together to strengthen Taoism.

Let the Taoist culture flourish on the Chinese mainland."

Master Qin drank another full glass.

"Well said. Just for what Master Qin said, I, Liu Fu, will definitely support Maoshan in the future."

"That's right, Maoshan is worthy of being a great sect with a thousand-year heritage."

Suddenly, the crowd below became lively, with people talking about all kinds of things.

All kinds of compliments were heard everywhere.

There are also calls to drive out Buddhism and revive local Taoism.

Master Ikkyu was in such an awkward situation. It was not right for him to drink from the tea bowl, nor was it right for him not to drink.

His face was wrinkled.

Lu Li was watching him from the side, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

It was because you, an old monk, didn’t speak up for me last time in Wanning Palace.

You must have been punished.

This meal was a feast for both the guests and the host.

Every casual cultivator went down the mountain with a smile on his face, and they all admired Maoshan from the bottom of their hearts.

"How about it, Xiaoli, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

After everyone left, Master Qin looked at Lu Li anxiously.

Lu Li gave a thumbs up and praised: "That's absolutely correct. Master's words are very beautiful."

Master Qin stroked his beard with satisfaction, his eyes narrowed with smile.

That’s right, Master Qin came here having memorized the script in advance.

He couldn't say anything about making Taoist culture flourish.

All these manuscripts were written by Lu Li.

It was Lu Li who taught Master Qin to go down and make friends with those independent cultivators.

The purpose is to increase Maoshan’s affinity and good impression.

You see, our leader has come down personally to show his concern for you.

You can't say bad things about Maoshan anymore.

As for why.

Lu Li knew very well what it meant that three people make a tiger and people's words were scary.

Even though there are only two or three hundred people here, the independent cultivators who can come to watch the competition have great influence in the local area.

Ten hellos from others are not as good as one hello from them.

They developed a favorable impression of Maoshan, and in the future, no matter whether they were disciples, they would go down the mountain to travel.

Or need some important information to provide.

These people can help.

More important was the invasion of Fuso more than a decade later.

Lu Li needs Maoshan to contact all the Taoist sects.

At this time, these independent cultivators were also within the contact range.

Lu Li would not make the same mistake as the Taoist sect in the early Ming Dynasty.

We must not fight against another country on our own.

Even if it is a small country, both sides will suffer losses.

Lu Li doesn't care what you can do, even if you can only summon a little ghost.

I welcome you to come and accept all your orders.

He intended to use China's huge reserve of personnel to crush the Japanese.

In his opinion, a narrow victory is also a loss.

Only a satisfying and overwhelming victory can be called victory.

This is also the style that the spiritual world of China should have.

The next morning, all the remaining thirty-eight Taoist masters came to Wanfu Palace.

"What are you doing? Something? Let's discuss it together."

Master Qin looked at the group of old men and women with a confused look on his face.

Zhang Tianshi said helplessly: "I was also called up by them at the last minute.

You can ask them what happened specifically. "

The head of Lingbao sect was the first to step forward.

"Master Qin and we are all old acquaintances. We have been friends for hundreds of years, so we don't hide anything.

There are two things. One is whether you, the Maoshan flower spirits, can share some of the elixirs you make with us.

No matter what kind of medicine it is, we will buy it at any price.

The second thing is to see if Elder Lu Li can sell us some purple talismans.

Our disciples need that thing very much.

When you go out to subdue demons and monsters, you never know when you might encounter danger.

A purple talisman might be able to save a life."

Master Qin did not agree directly but pondered over it instead. Everyone waited quietly for his reply.

This is a matter of mutual consent.

"Go call Lin Jiu and Lu Li."

After a moment, Master Qin turned to the disciple standing beside him and said.

It didn't take long before Uncle Jiu and Lu Li walked into Wanfu Palace one after another.

The two were also surprised to see the master was there.

Master Qin told the two of them what happened.

"You guys decide on this matter. I won't get involved."

The people below were not surprised either, as they had also discovered this during their trip to Maoshan.

This Lu Li should be the next headmaster.

From what happened in the Shenxiao Sect, it can be seen that two of the four Jindan-stage masters of Maoshan have a special relationship with Lu Li.

Stand on his side.

As for Master Qin, there is no need to mention him, he is Lu Li's master.

He now leaves many things to Lu Li to handle.

“No problem, we are all from the Taoist sect, and Maoshan has always upheld the concept of sharing happiness.

Moreover, in order to subdue demons and monsters, Maoshan has no choice but to take the lead.

Although some sects caused some unpleasantness in Maoshan when they first arrived.

But we don’t want to dwell on things that have passed.

I just hope that everyone can take a long-term view in the future. Taoism is a collective.

Only when Taoism becomes stronger can those sects like us who are under its protection become stronger.

Dear seniors, is this the truth? "

Lu Li's eyes shone with confidence, and his tone was neither aggressive nor overbearing.

On the contrary, it is very gentle and convincing.

At this time, five or six masters walked out from below. They were the ones who had been causing trouble in Maoshan from the beginning.

The two people who made sarcastic remarks when Uncle Jiu made a breakthrough were also among them.

“Master Qin, Elder Lin, and Elder Lu, we are petty.

After staying in the mountains for a long time, people become more pedantic.

It was only when we came to Maoshan this time that we realized how big a mistake we had made.

There is nothing wrong with sticking to the old ways, but problems will arise if you don't adapt to the times.

We have also talked to many people during this time.

I didn't expect that in less than a hundred years, the spiritual world is no longer the spiritual world of our time.

Since Maoshan has let bygones be bygones this time, we must not hold the Taoist sect back.

We will see what we do in the future.”

It was no surprise to Lu Li that these old guys could surrender.

Even Master Qin didn't expect this.

"The masters, you are embarrassing me by saying this.

Now that it's settled, I will organize the talismans I have in the next few days and draw more.

I will ask my master to inform everyone to purchase according to their ability.

My junior sister's elixir is the same, is it okay?"

Lu Li said politely.

"Good! That's great!"

These masters who usually don't smile in front of their disciples are now smiling like flowers.
