Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 211: Storms gather, the grand ceremony begins

"Old Master!"

Arriving at the back mountain of the Tianshi Mansion with familiarity, Xia Ye immediately found the old Tianshi and bowed to him with a smile on his face.

"coming?"

"Come sit down and drink tea."

The old Taoist priest glanced at him and greeted him immediately.

"I have to go to Qianshan for an interview in a while. They said some leaders are coming and we need to take photos or something. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."

He could tell that this boy must have something to say, so he urged him immediately.

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you. In fact, it's nothing big. I will arrange a group of ordinary people to sneak into the back mountain in a while. You just need to turn a blind eye then." Xia Ye went straight to the point.

The "ordinary people" he referred to were naturally the guys from the "Secret Exploration Society". This was also a key point in his plan, so he had to be more cautious.

And at the moment in Longhu Mountain, the only one who has the ability to discover these guys under the cover of the domain poison is the old Taoist priest, so he came to greet the old Taoist priest first to be on the safe side.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist raised his eyebrows and understood his thoughts:
"This group of ordinary people is the 'fuse' you arranged. It seems that you are ready to detonate everything... Are you sure?"

"Oh, you know I can't do anything I'm not sure of..."

Xia Ye smiled and drank a sip of tea.

"You almost know the situation on my side. I can't say that everything is ready... but it's almost there. For things like this, the sooner the better. If it's delayed for too long, there will inevitably be some variables."

For Xia Ye, the situation in the entire Chinese supernatural world is basically under his control, but it is only "basically". There are some variables that he cannot predict or calculate and he must take into account.

As for the moment, there are two variables that he can see. One of them is Qu Tong. This crazy woman has been dormant until now. Who knows when she will do something. She must be on guard...

The other is a guy he has always been worried about, that is "Wu Gensheng". From the perspective of a comic reader in his previous life, he can be sure that this guy should not be dead, and he must have some kind of plan, and the movement must be quite big.

Therefore, a quick victory is the best option!

"Yeah, that's right. All right then, as long as it doesn't involve Longhu Mountain." After hearing this, the old Taoist nodded and agreed.

Then he looked at the sky, drank the tea in the cup, and stood up immediately:
"It's almost time. I should go to the front mountain. You should put on a good show. Since you are the general manager of logistics and medical care, you still have to do some work."

"Haha, it's natural!"

So, Xia Ye walked out of the room with the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest went all the way to the front mountain to prepare for the interview, while Xia Ye went to see Mr. Tian Jinzhong. Mr. Tian was responsible for coordinating all logistical issues.

Knock knock knock!
Soon, he knocked on Mr. Tian's door.

"Mr. Tian, ​​it's me..."

crunch--

But when the door opened and Xia Ye saw the person who opened the door, his eyes still flickered.

"..."

"I almost forgot about this guy, but it doesn't affect anything."

That's right, the person who opened the door was none other than Gong Qing, the current acting leader of "Quan Xing". Since what Xia Ye had done before did not have much impact on this guy, just like the original plot, this guy had long since sneaked into the Tianshi Mansion and became a well-known figure in the mansion.

Before, Xia Ye came to Longhu Mountain basically to look for the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi. After finishing his work, he would leave immediately. He basically never came to Old Tian's place, so he didn't notice the existence of this guy.

(Gong Qing)
But just as he thought in his heart, he didn't expect that this guy's problem was not that he couldn't think of it, but that with the current situation where "Quan Xing" was being completely suppressed and wanted at a high intensity, he couldn't make any waves at all.

Moreover, everything after the end of the "Luotian Dajiao" was completely controlled by him. It didn't matter whether the "Quan Xing attacking the mountain" in the original plot would appear or not. And judging from the current situation, it is probably impossible to happen at least for now.

The reason...

It's actually very simple.

"Divine Doctor Xia is here?"

As soon as the door opened, a powerful voice came out. It was Tian Jinzhong.

Compared to the original plot, Tian Jinzhong's body has now fully recovered after his treatment. In addition, his nearly seventy years of endurance and perseverance have enabled him to achieve a huge breakthrough in his cultivation after balancing his life. He has broken through several barriers in a row and his cultivation has skyrocketed!
Today, Tian Jinzhong can be said to be the undisputed third person in Tianshi Mansion. Even compared with Zhang Huaiyi, he is not much worse and has already stood at the pinnacle of the world of extraordinary people.

Because of this, it is impossible for Gong Qing to regard Tian Jinzhong as a breakthrough point as before. He can only take a long-term view and proceed step by step. In addition, there is no news of Quan Xing's action now, so it is estimated that he will not act rashly this time.

"Ha ha……"

So, Xia Ye strode directly into Tian Jinzhong's room and greeted him:

"Mr. Tian, ​​how are you these days?"

"Hahaha, thanks to you, everything is fine!"

Tian Jinzhong laughed.

"The medical care for this conference is now in your hands. Don't let me down!"

then……

Tian Jinzhong looked at Gong Qing and ordered him, "Xiao Yuzi, help me keep an eye on your brothers and others to prevent any mistakes!"

"Yes, Master!"

Gong Qing's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He originally wanted to stay and listen to what this legendary doctor would talk about with Tian Jinzhong, but now it seems that this is not possible.

To be honest, Gong Qing has always wanted to meet Xia Ye, especially after he guessed that this guy would get rid of those Quan Xingzhong people who came to see a doctor and had done evil things, he developed a strong interest in him.

In order to prove his guess, he even deliberately sent various people from Quanxing over, and the facts proved that his guess was indeed true. This guy should be the type who hates evil.

Of course, if it were just that, it would be fine. Gong Qing would keep an eye on this guy, but he would not have any thoughts of contacting him. After all, this guy's position is obviously opposed to "Quan Xing". There is no need to touch this bad luck without any benefits.

But after observing for a period of time, he found that "hate of evil" is only one of this guy's characteristics. This guy's relationship with the company is obviously not very good, and he must have some opinions about the company. This also means that this guy should be described as "eccentric"!

And "unique"...

Doesn’t this just fit the characteristics of a complete person?
As a result, Gong Qing also came up with the idea of ​​getting this guy to join the gang. Just like Wu Gensheng and Gao Gen back then, he also wanted to keep such a special person by his side and use this to win over Quan Xing...

But before he could take any action, he found out about Tian Jinzhong's involvement with the events of that year. He realized that Tian Jinzhong might know the truth about the Jiashen Rebellion, so he temporarily shelved the contact plan and hid in the Tianshi Mansion.

This lurking...

That's three years.

"This is the Miracle Doctor Xia. He looks really young, completely different from those national players..." Gong Qing thought to himself after closing the door.

Xia Ye is only 28 years old now. Normally speaking, he has just started learning medicine. However, he became the "No. 1 Miracle Doctor in China" more than five years ago. It is really incredible.

"If possible, maybe we can find a chance to let Lu Liang take a look at this guy's memory. Maybe there is some big secret..."

As soon as he thought of this, Gong Qing's curiosity was aroused at once, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

After Gong Qing left...

In Tian Jinzhong's room, Xia Ye smiled slightly:
"Tian Lao, when did you accept this disciple? He looks unfamiliar."

"Hahaha, Xiao Yuzi has been here for three years, but you rarely come around my place, so I haven't seen him!" Tian Jinzhong laughed.

"Well, that's true, but Mr. Tian, ​​I always feel that this kid's aura is a bit strange. Has he practiced in other sects before entering the mountain?" Xia Ye nodded and then raised his eyebrows.

"Aura? Strange?"

Tian Jinzhong was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but frowned.

"Well, this kid studied medicine before and has some medical skills. I was planning to let him learn from you during this Luotian Dajiao. How... did you find any problems?"

Tian Jinzhong knew Xia Ye's cultivation and strength, so he naturally wouldn't question this kid's vision. He immediately became serious and asked him...

"Um……"

"You also know my abilities. I have made good achievements in the art of observation. I found that the aura in this guy's body is quite similar to that of one of my subordinates. That person is called Bi Yuan. He is also a doctor. He practices the 'Ghost Gate Acupuncture Method'. Have you heard of it?" Xia Ye nodded in response.

"Bi Yuan?"

"The Bi Yuan from Quan Xing? Is he under your command?" Tian Jinzhong widened his eyes and suddenly remembered. After all, Bi Yuan still had a certain degree of fame in the underworld.

"Yes, but this is a long story. I will tell you when I have the chance. Anyway, as far as I know, Bi Yuan does have a direct disciple, and it seems... he is the current 'Quan Xing Daizhang'."

Xia Ye continued.

"Of course, the Ghost Gate Needle is not unique to Bi Yuan. There are many doctors in the world who practice it. Since your disciple has been practicing for three years, there should be no problem."

Xia Ye did this just for the sake of convenience, and he did not intend to expose Gong Qing directly. His purpose was very simple, which was to do a small favor for the Tianshi Mansion and consolidate their relationship.

Moreover, for matters like this, the best effect would be achieved only by letting the Tianshi Mansion investigate it themselves. If you do too much and say too much, you might end up making things worse. It is enough to just stop at the right time.

"Um……"

Sure enough, after listening to what Xia Ye said, Tian Jinzhong fell into deep thought. The seeds of doubt had been planted, and he could just deal with the rest himself.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Xia Ye began to talk with him about the logistical and medical matters, including the manpower he could mobilize and the prepared medicinal materials, and he learned about every detail.

After finishing the discussion, the two looked at the time and saw that there were only two hours left before the "Luotian Dajiao" officially started, so they left together and began to direct and supervise the logistics work.

And it can be seen that at this time, people are constantly pouring in from outside the Tianshi Mansion. They are all from various sects who came to attend the meeting. The Tianshi Mansion, which was very quiet in the past, is becoming more and more popular and lively...

……

……

at the same time.

At the back of Mount Longhu, in front of a huge cliff, three figures stood on the edge of the cliff, staring at the opposite side.

Beside them, figures kept jumping high up and falling towards the other side of the cliff. They were all strangers who came to attend the meeting, and this was the only obvious way leading to the meeting place.

And if Xia Ye were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the identities of these three people: Xu San, Xu Si and Feng Baobao... they were the trio from the North China region.

But it was not difficult to tell from their expressions that the Xu brothers were not in a good mood at the moment, especially Xu San, who after observing for a moment, his face darkened, pushed his glasses and said:
"Xu Si, I still think that we are taking too much risk. Although the higher-ups have ordered temporary workers to go out, they are only taking precautions in secret to avoid any mistakes..."

"That's right. I don't plan to let the baby participate in the competition. He just wants to join in the fun in the stands. This is the order given to us in North China by the higher-ups, asking us to watch from the stands." Xu Si shrugged, looking helpless.

It can be seen that Xu Si actually didn't want Feng Baobao to show up in public, but the instructions from the higher-ups were very specific this time, specifying that temporary workers from North China should be in charge of the stands, so he had no choice...

If it was a mission in secret, the baby could even stay at home and let his dad do it like before. But this time it was different. In addition to assigning tasks, Director Bi obviously had other purposes, which was to take advantage of this opportunity to completely control all the temporary workers!
The Xu brothers knew that long before, after the temporary worker system was truly formed, other directors on the company's board of directors had been eyeing this group of "temporary workers". After all, temporary workers could be regarded as the "private soldiers" of the regional heads and the company's chairman, and in a reasonable and legal way.

Therefore, after overthrowing Director Zhao and becoming the new chairman of the company, Director Bi also wanted to completely take over all the temporary workers. However, this temporary worker system was established by Director Zhao and has been controlled by Director Zhao all these years. Even if Director Zhao fell and Director Bi could issue tasks normally, there would always be a certain gap.

There are some reasons why people are against this...

Also, because each temporary worker has his or her own secrets, most of them are unwilling to have much contact with the new chairman.

Of course……

In the past two years, Director Bi has taken some actions, but he has never been able to truly achieve his goal. After all, even if he has the power to assign tasks to temporary workers, he must have a legitimate reason. Sending them out at random will cause trouble.

In particular, the company has now replaced a group of new directors, and in order to achieve a balance, most of them are doves. They are just like Mr. Bi himself, waiting for him to make mistakes.

But this "Luotian Dajiao" is different. It is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Director Bi. He can take this opportunity to mobilize all temporary workers and gather them in Longhu Mountain. He can also determine the identities of the temporary workers through designated tasks and completely lock them in...

Before this, Director Bi only had the information of temporary workers but was unable to confirm the authenticity of the information. This was the biggest difference between him and Director Zhao in the control of temporary workers. As long as he could go one step further this time, it would be equivalent to catching the temporary workers' handle, and the remaining problems would be very simple.

and so……

Once Director Bi finds out that the "temporary workers" dispatched this time are different from the ones in the information, it will inevitably arouse Director Bi's suspicion. At the same time, it will also give him a reason to personally contact the "problematic temporary workers", which will be even more troublesome.

It was precisely because of this that the Xu family father and son had no choice but to compromise. After all, Feng Baobao's secret was something they had to protect at all costs, so they must not let Feng Baobao have too much contact with the company headquarters!

However, compared to Xu San and Xu Si's gloomy faces, Feng Baobao herself was quite cheerful. At this moment, she was playing with a string of Buddhist beads she had found on the way up the mountain, looking left and right, as if she couldn't let it go...

I heard from the monk selling Buddhist beads that this thing was obtained by his great-grandmaster, Monk Duoxin, on Mount Longhu hundreds of years ago. It came from a ten-thousand-year-old fire unicorn. His great-grandmaster fought with the beast for more than 80,000 rounds and finally beat it to death with a stick. He used its spirit crystal to make this product!

It was obvious that the story was a lie, but Feng Baobao believed it anyway. In order to make her obedient and stay by their side, the Xu brothers had no choice but to grit their teeth and spend ninety-nine and eighty thousand dollars to buy her.

"Ugh……"

After discussing for a while, the two brothers realized that there was no other way. They could only look at Feng Baobao and sigh. Then they called out to Feng Baobao and jumped to the other side together.

……

……

After this……

One after another, many figures passed by the cliff, all of them were ready to fight and full of confidence. They were also very wary of each other and regarded each other as opponents.

It was not until two hours later that the number of people passing by gradually decreased, and the gathering place was already crowded with people, all waiting for the event to begin.

moment……

"Everyone... have been waiting for a long time."

An old but powerful voice sounded, and the old Taoist priest showed up. He started the conversation without any further ado, smiled at everyone, and exuded a natural aura.

Standing behind him were the other nine of the Ten Lords. No matter what the "Luotian Grand Ceremony" was like this time, even if it was simply to give face to the Tianshi Mansion and the old Tianshi, they had to show up.

then……

"Welcome everyone to come and participate in this 'Luotian Grand Ceremony'..."

The old Taoist priest then began his pre-event speech as per custom.

“As you all know, in addition to routine sacrifices, this Luotian Grand Ceremony has always been an opportunity for us Qi-refining people to communicate with each other, and this time will be no exception…”

"However, you all should know that this 'Luotian Grand Ceremony' will be a little different from the past. Not only will it decide the next Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but it will also reward the 'Qi Body Origin', one of the Eight Wonders. I think this is why you all gathered here..."

"As for the purpose of Tianshi Mansion making this change, I think I don't need to elaborate. I will formally introduce my junior brother Zhang Huaiyi and his grandson Zhang Chulan in front of you. From today... they will officially return to my Tianshi Mansion!"

Following the old Taoist priest's announcement, Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Chulan also walked to his side. This process was what they had discussed long ago, which was to announce the news of the grandfather and grandson's return to the world in front of all the sects!

In this way, everyone in the world will know completely that Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Chulan have the Tianshi Mansion and the old Tianshi to protect them. If they want to have any evil thoughts about the "origin of Qi" in the future, they must think twice!

In those days, people were free to do dirty things in the name of "suppressing the thirty-six thieves", at least in the case of the grandfather and grandson...

It's over!

"in addition……"

Afterwards, the old Taoist priest called Zhang Chulan to his side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Chu Lan will also participate in this competition. I have officially accepted him as my disciple. He will represent my Tianshi Mansion in the competition!"

"I hope that all candidates will go all out when they meet him and not hold back. It would be best if you can defeat him. I hereby make a promise that whoever can defeat this guy will also receive the reward of 'Qi Body Origin' even if he does not enter the finals. I will keep my word!"

"Uh, Master...is this necessary..."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan was stunned and his expression suddenly became surprised.

No one had told him that there was such a link before, so he suddenly became the target of public criticism. Feeling the burning gazes from all directions, he couldn't help but look bitter.

"Haha, this is for your own good!"

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and patted the boy on the shoulder again. This was something he and Zhang Huaiyi had discussed long ago.

Although this kid has made great progress in the past two years, he still lacks some pressure and training. This time is a good opportunity. They hope that he can make a breakthrough and grow faster.

Then, the old Taoist priest announced some details of the competition, and then stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand and asked everyone to take a seat.

After a while, when the ten masters returned to the stands and took their seats, a large red box was moved into the venue. There was a square hole on the top of the box. A little Taoist raised his hand and said:

"Candidates, please come forward one by one and draw your own slip of paper!"

Since there are a large number of candidates for this conference and it is impossible for them to compete two by two right away, a group of people need to be screened out first. Therefore, the rules are set for the primary election to be conducted in groups of four to improve efficiency.

Among them, the heavenly stems such as Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding represent the order of the matches, while the white tiger, green turtle, spotted deer, etc. represent the four groups of people who will compete in the same match. The four people who get the same animal in the same match will compete together, and only one person who wins in each group can enter the next round of selection.

In this way, the candidates for the title of Heavenly Master from various forces lined up and began to draw lots...
