Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 230 Letter from the Ming Family
Jiang Qing did not change his mind because of the good intentions of Master Kang.

If Kang Dabao vowed to become the ancestor of the Chongming Sect's revival since he took over the ring from Sect Leader He, then Jiang Qing also had the wish to build a foundation as soon as possible and help his senior brother, the Sect Leader, to glorify the sect since he was a child.

The two brothers, who had always been close, parted unhappily because of Kang Dabao's words. No one could tell who was right or wrong.

In fact, as soon as the head of Kangda said this, he knew that he had made a mistake. Blocking people's way is a taboo and should not be committed.

But now that the words had been spoken, and he was a used parent, it would be hard for him to bring himself to say something soft to Jiang Qing.

Since then, the two brothers have not spoken to each other for a month or two. As a result, even the other brothers, no matter how slow they are, can still sense that something is wrong. Yuan Jin persuaded both sides several times and finally found out what happened indirectly.

The Taoist Hei Lu summoned him to ask questions, and he dared not hide anything, and told him all the information he knew. This made the Taoist Hei Lu angry, and he called Kang Dabao over and scolded him.

The Black-Shoe Taoist was still not satisfied with his scolding, so he raised his finger and dipped it into the spiritual light. With a few taps, he made the forehead of the Great Sect Leader Kang turn blue and purple. Then he said angrily:
"You are the reincarnation of a bamboo shoot from the mountains, with a sharp mouth, thick skin and an empty belly! Normally, I really thought you were very smart, but why don't you think before you speak? To build a foundation, you need to concentrate your mind and forge your soul. What you concentrate is the heart of seeking the Tao, and what you forge is the soul of fearlessness.

Fathers and brothers always encourage and motivate others, how can someone as stupid as you be so arrogant and make your junior brother feel bad? You are such a brainless and unmotivated bastard! "

"That's absolutely right. Uncle Master was right to scold me, but I was the one who said something out of turn. Uncle Master, please calm down, please calm down." Master Kang was scolded so hard that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Although he had known Taoist Heilu since he was a child, which was about thirty or forty years, it was unprecedented for him to be scolded like this.

Kang Dabao bowed his head to admit his mistake, and when he saw that the black-shoe Taoist's expression had improved, he dared to smile and said, "Uncle Master also said that the probability of the third child succeeding in building the foundation is less than one in a hundred. I was just too worried, so please don't blame me anymore."

"Shu He sent me the Soul-Replenishing Soup, and you got the top-grade Foundation-Building Pill from Kuang Liuting. With these two methods working together, although Qing Ge'er's Dao body is flawed, his Dao heart is firm, which is completely different from you, a clumsy bastard. Even if we take a low estimate, the probability of success in building the foundation is at least 20%."

The Taoist Heilu still had a bad tone, but he seemed to have calmed down a little and sat back in his seat.

Kang Dabao's expression did not improve after hearing what the Taoist Hei Lu said. He said in a hoarse voice, "I know I shouldn't say that, but the probability of building a foundation is still too small. I am really afraid."

"He is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind! How could my elder brother have a cowardly disciple like you who has a womanly temperament! If you want to fight for your life against the sky, how can you win if you are so timid?! A 20% probability, is that low?
Take Chen Ye for example. He relied on unorthodox means to achieve the Dao foundation. Do you dare to think how likely he is to succeed? How much effort did he put in? How many cultivators in the world don’t even have that 10% chance, and have tried all kinds of methods to overcome that difficulty? "

Taoist Heilu looked very disappointed and scolded Master Kang again.

Kang Dabao lowered his head again after being scolded, and continued in a low voice: "Master uncle is right, I am wrong. The third child's injury has not fully healed, and it will take at least a year and a half before he can build his foundation.

These days, I will collect some more spiritual objects for him to build his foundation. I think it will be good if it can be a little more secure. "

"That's more like it," Taoist Hei Lu finally gave up the idea of ​​cursing after hearing Kang Dabao's words, and immediately changed the subject: "Do you know why Gun Shilu wants you to take over the Cang Cui Stone mine in Tanggu County?"

"I know, but I couldn't refuse at that time, so I had to wade into the muddy water." After hearing the Taoist Hei Lu talk about this, Master Kang couldn't help but sigh.

"If Qing'er has established his foundation, why would you worry about the petty intrigues involved? You are short-sighted and short-sighted!"

After hearing this, the Taoist Hei Lu cursed again, but Kang Dabao's tone was somewhat frustrated: "I really didn't think that the state court had just taken advantage of the Liangyi Sect, and the fake Sima wanted to mix me into Tanggu County as sand.

Tie Liuyun had long regarded Tanggu County as his own private territory, and wished that no one could get in. The job that Gong Jia Sima had given me was not an easy one!

I have seen clearly that these senior officials in the state court, while they all say that they will tolerate each other for the sake of the country, are still forming cliques and pursuing their own interests behind the scenes. When the cliques unite to attack the dissidents, they will fight for even the smallest piece of cloth and grain, and will not give up even the slightest advantage. "

When Taoist Heilu heard the resentful words from Master Kang, he had an expression as if he was used to it.

The Taoist simply said, "From the imperial court to the border states, and from now on to the petty officials, the situation is the same everywhere in David's dynasty. Even the current emperor cannot make his subjects have the same desires, let alone Kuang Liuting."

Kang Dabao nodded continuously, thinking that what his uncle said was really good. In fact, he also understood this truth, but he had to find someone to express his depression.

"Hurry up and build your foundation. After that, I can take you to find an opportunity. That way, I can feel more at ease." After saying this meaningfully, Taoist Heilu walked out of the hall and returned to Qinye Forest to practice.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chongming Sect embodied the life's work of Sect Leader He, Taoist Heilius would certainly not have given it much thought given his free and easy nature.

He and Kang Dabao, who has a hard-working life, are two completely different people.

The former cultivates the great way of transcendence and seeks to be free; the latter has too many concerns and seldom feels at ease.

After respectfully seeing off Taoist Heilu, Kang Dabao did not stop practicing and quickly arrived at the sacred place of Fangshi Mountain where Zhou Yixiu had been staying recently.

"Junior brother asked a geomancer to take a look. There are several spiritual veins mixed together under the spiritual ground of Fangshi Mountain. It is a mess. According to the geomancer, if we want to sort them out, it may take more than 2,000 to 3,000 spiritual stones. Even after sorting them out, the level of this spiritual vein is difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, I dare not make a decision on my own, and I specially ask you to come and take a look." After Zhou Yixiu lost his two disciples, he became obviously depressed.

The spirited old man who used to boast that he could have sex with several women at night, now rarely even visits the rooms of his wives, and just buries himself in the spiritual field.

Often, it is rare to see a smiling face after a few days.

Kang Dabao couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Zhou Yixiu's appearance, and he consoled him: "Junior brother, you should take care of yourself first. We can slowly work on the sect's plan, and we will eventually finish it."

"Master, don't worry. Although I am old, I can still eat a bowl of rice and ten kilograms of meat. I don't feel tired." Zhou Yixiu shook his head and continued:

"There is a kind of nameless wild flower scattered in Fangshi Mountain. Although it is not of high quality, it is very popular with many spirit bees and butterflies. Junior brother gave it a name, calling it 'Su Xuerui', thinking that if it can be cultivated to a high quality, it will definitely be favored by these spirit bees and butterflies.

By then, if there are any of our disciples who have some talent in controlling insects, they can also raise bees and make honey like the Lu family did in the past, and they can also make more money."

"Thank you for your concern, Junior Brother." Kang Dabao showed some joy on his face after hearing this.

For any enterprising force, developing financial resources is of vital importance.

The head of Kang Da has been doing a good job in this area, including Chongming Building, Spiritual Field, Caravan formation, Lu Family Spiritual Honey Dividing, Big Sophora Tree, Blue Silver Mine, Spiritual Stone Mine.
But if he could add another source of income from breeding spirit bees, Kang Dabao would be happier. He calmed down and continued, "Brother, your concerns are reasonable. Since the spirit veins of the Fangshi Mountain are so complicated, let's not sort them out for now.

Junior brother, please ask the geomancer to prepare the two spiritual lands of Qinyelin and Hengshan first, and see if you can take Rongquan and Moku with you to open more spiritual fields. It doesn't matter if there are not so many people to plant. At most, we can plant a lot and harvest little in the first few years. As long as we can earn back the money for the seeds, it will not be a loss.

I will ask the second brother to assign some tasks to find spiritual soil in the Good Deeds Hall. We can use the spiritual soil brought back by the disciples to cultivate the newly opened spiritual fields. In a few years, I am afraid we will be able to grow some valuable things such as low-level spiritual herbs. "

What the headmaster Kang said was meaningful, and all the plans were just right, not empty talk. Even Zhou Yixiu, an old farmer who had been dealing with spiritual plants all his life, could not find anything wrong with this arrangement. He nodded repeatedly, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. Seeing that there was no one around, he leaned over to the headmaster Kang's ear and whispered, "Headmaster, did Junior Brother Chu mention that he wanted to send Mo Ku to Chongming City to guard it?"

Kang Dabao immediately showed a hint of helplessness on his face after hearing this, and said directly: "Junior brother Mo You, didn't we deny this matter at the beginning? Now Junior Brother Niu Kuang has been in Chongming City for more than a month, so why would we send Mo Ku again?"

"Hmm, it's good that you are so confident, Master. I have heard that some people feel resentful after arriving in Chongming City. They are looking for supporters in the sect to change their positions." Even though Zhou Yixiu has always been a non-competitive person, his tone was not good when he talked about this matter.

Sect Leader Kang knew that it was Chu Huer who proposed at the time that Mo Ku, whom Zhou Yixiu valued very much, should be stationed in Chongming City, which offended Zhou Yixiu.

In addition, after Niu Kuang went to Chongming City, he would go to the sect to seek for connections only occasionally. Kang Dahou's letter also mentioned some of the things he did, such as bullying men and women and exploiting the people in the city.

It seems that Niu Kuang really does not seem to be working hard, which makes honest people like Zhou Yixiu unhappy, but it is normal.

As for how to balance the affairs of various factions, it is also a subject that needs to be studied seriously. The head of Kangda Sect is really too busy to take care of this matter for the time being.

Fortunately, Pei Yi had a clear mind. Whenever Chu Huer was instigated by the monks in Shandugang and did something stupid, Pei Yi would teach them a lesson without Master Kang saying anything.

However, this also caused a clear distinction between the Shandugang cultivators and the original disciples of the Chongming Sect, which was something that deserved Kang Dabao's attention.

I think if it is not handled well, something big will happen sooner or later.

Master Kang knew all this, but he couldn't find a solution for a while.

Zhou Yixiu also noticed the difficulty on Kang Dabao's face, and he began to blame himself for what he had said before. He then took the initiative to change the subject and said:

"Junior brother also understands the difficulties of senior brother. The head of the Lu family, Yu Xiaowushan, has just passed away, and Anle has completely taken over the caravan from him. Shilun and Xinran have also been preparing for the opening of the small building these days.

Wei Gu Xuezhen, Rongquan Jialing, Pingshui Lianqi, Changsheng Xuedan, all have their duties. The children have grown up, and the senior brother will be more relaxed. "

"Yes!" After hearing this, Master Kang felt relieved. All the hard work over the years was not in vain.

After the third son has established his foundation, he will spend another one or two years to sort out all the matters in the sect and make the system and clan rules clear. Then, he, the great master Kang, can be a hands-off manager and spend most of his time and energy on improving his cultivation and establishing his foundation.

Just as Sect Leader Kang had finished thinking about the good things in his mind, he said goodbye to Zhou Yixiu and returned to the sect leader's courtyard alone.

Kang Dabao was just thinking about whether he should go to Huo Ying's room to have a heart-to-heart talk with her when he received two letters in succession.

The first letter was from Kuai En, who had not been heard from for a long time.

The Tanggu County Master Tie Xishan has a good relationship with the head of Kangda Sect. Because of this relationship, the Kuai family, which is related to the Chongming Sect by marriage, has received a lot of care from Tie Xishan.

In the battle of Xiaowu Mountain, the Kuai family did not send any men. They only spent a few dozen spirit stones to hire the life of a casual cultivator and got away with it. This was all thanks to Tiexi Mountain.

Relying on the spiritual stones obtained from selling the blue silver ore veins, and wearing the tiger skin painted on rice paper as "the family of the wife of the junior brother of the son-in-law of the Fei family", the Kuai family has lived a pretty good life in Tanggu County in the past one or two years.

Not only did he discover another immortal seedling with decent aptitude, but Kuai En himself also married a widowed female cultivator from a small family.

In this way, the number of monks in the Kuai family finally returned to the number of four at the end of Kuai Wu's tenure as head of the family.

Kuai En knew that his family was able to survive because of whom, so his words in the letter were still respectful and obedient.

There wasn't much to say, just a rough account of who had divided up the valuable property of the Tanggu Huo family after the state government had liquidated the family.

Kuai En also listed clearly the scraps torn off by the wolves, their distribution, their estimated value, which small Qi training force held them, and which powerful people in his family had them.

Master Kang could see clearly that he was being urged to take his men over there so that he could get a piece of the pie.

Now that Huo Bing has surrendered to the enemy, the Tanggu Huo family, which he had supported, is undoubtedly a thin-skinned and big-stuffed fresh meat bun in the eyes of many foundation-building forces close to the Yunjiaozhou court, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Kuai Wu wrote clearly in the letter that the Tie family was the biggest beneficiary this time, as they even obtained two strands of second-level spiritual ores.

But in Kang Dabao's eyes, Tie Liuyun got much more than that.

Huo Bing has betrayed his loyalty. Tie Liuyun, as the highest-ranking local official in the Yunjiaozhou court, seems to have won over many foundation-building forces in Tanggu County with the Huo family assets he seized this time.

By uniting them, if he could really manage Tanggu County, a wealthy county in Yunjiao Prefecture second only to Xuanwei City and Hancheng, two major cities for cultivating immortals, into a solid entity, then Tie Liuyun's status in the prefecture would inevitably rise.

However, can the Tie family, a small family, really take up the banner and compete with the people from the capital led by Fernando?
Although the head of Kangda couldn't quite figure it out, he knew that the Huo family's assets were very hot.

The emerald stone vein that was stuffed into his arms by Sima Gun was enough to bother him. He really had no intention of getting involved with other things.

The most taboo thing for a householder is to be greedy and have insatiable desires. He should know the principle of drinking from the river to fill his stomach.

Kang Dabao had already made up his mind that before Jiang Qing established his foundation, he would just guard the gate carefully. He would not get involved in the affairs of the outside world unless they were of great importance.

After hastily scribbling a few words, he returned Kuai En's letter. Then Sect Leader Kang picked up the next letter and after seeing the personal signature on it, he couldn't help but frowned in surprise.

"A letter from Master Ming?"
