Chapter 130: Those who have read Feishu feel the same

He Kao was stunned by the plain address and recipient, and subconsciously asked, "Is this a proper village committee?"

Old Man Jiang spat at him over the phone: "You're not serious! The official administrative divisions of the country, if you don't believe me, you can check it online."

He Kao: "So the Shumen Zongfa Hall and the Caiping Village Committee are the same team, but two different names?" He understood this. The Qiyuan Branch and Cloud Service Division of the Tengxin Group were two different names of the same organization.

Jiang Daozhen: "This child is teachable."

He Kao: "What if the email I sent to the clan hall gets mixed up with the village committee's emails? How can I tell the recipients apart?"

Jiang Daozhen: "There's a little secret code. The '正' character in Zongzheng is written differently. The top horizontal stroke doesn't extend to the right, and the bottom horizontal stroke doesn't extend to the left."

He Kao silently made a mental note and asked, "Isn't that just a '卍' character with two strokes missing?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Yes, the sect elder has a nickname called Erque."

He Kaoke couldn't take the joke, so he quickly changed the subject and reminded her, "Email receipts these days are all printed, and that word can't be typed."

Jiang Daozhen: "There is another code. Write an extra character, Zong, instead of "Zongzheng" (宗正正), it means it is an email to the Zongfa Hall."

He Kao: "If we don't send packages and only write letters, now that we all send emails, does that mean there are no email boxes?"

Jiang Daozhen: "How come after a few days abroad, your brain has degenerated? I already told you that it's a legitimate village committee, how could it not have an email address? Just go online and check it yourself!"

Fengwei Township is located on the south side of the Zhounan Mountains. Satellite maps show the majestic Zhounan Mountains stretching from east to west, with nine branches extending diagonally southward, resembling the drooping tail feathers of a phoenix.

Between these nine branches, there are eight small basins in the mountain, which the locals call "Phoenix Tail Seven Pings".

There are clearly eight basins, so how can it be called Fengwei Qiping? Don’t the locals know how to count? There are many different explanations, and some even involve various legends of gods and immortals.

The most idiotic theory is that a certain god counted and found that there were seven quiet secret places in the mountains, but forgot to count where he was standing.

The most reliable statement is that seven of the eight basins are surrounded by mountains and are almost completely isolated from the outside world.

Only the third basin from west to east is not completely closed. There is a mountain pass on its south side connecting it to the outside world. This is the location of the Fengwei Township Government, also known as Piaocaiping.

As for Caiping Village, it is not located in these eight basins, but is located outside the mountain pass of Piaocaiping, which is the only way to enter Fengwei Township.

Fengwei Township has eight administrative villages, which are also eight natural villages. In addition to Caiping Village, they are Jinghuaping, Pijingping, Guanshuping, Yujingping, Xianhuping, Dengyunping and Fengyuping, which are the so-called Fengwei Seven Pings.

They are also the locations of the ancestral halls of the seven major sects. These halls are not located in the natural villages, but in the blessed lands and caves near the villages. Each of the seven major sects possesses seven blessed lands and caves.

Qian Guran was going to go to the Ancestral Hall to receive his second ordination and receive inheritance of advanced techniques. First, he had to reach Dengyunping in Fengwei Township, and then enter Dengyun Cave Heaven under the guidance of the sect's deacon.

Of course, He Kao couldn't find this information on the Internet, but he found the location of Fengwei Township, Caiping Village and Fengwei Qiping, saw its terrain on the satellite map, and searched out a bunch of news reports.

In ancient times, if you wanted to enter Fengwei Qiping, you had to cross mountains and ridges and pass through the primitive jungle, but people today no longer have to do so because of the village-to-village road project.

Under the leadership of the local government, the highway was not only built through Caiping Village to Fengwei Township, but also started from Fengwei Township, built tunnels to the left to open up two mountain ranges, and opened up five mountain ranges to the right, allowing these seven natural villages to be connected by highway.

Fengwei Qiping not only has access to roads, but also electricity and internet. These have only happened in the past twenty years.

As for why the clan hall set up its "office" in Caiping Village, it is probably because of the convenient transportation and visitors do not need to go inside unless necessary.

The director of the Caiping Village Committee is Zong Zheng. He Kao found an email address that was not Zong Zheng's personal email address, but the official email address of the village committee.

For He Kao, email may be the safest way of communication. As long as you are careful in the operation, it is difficult for the other party to find out the identity of the sender.

Without mentioning how He Kao was busy, Jiang Daozhen hung up the phone, and Li Xiuyuan beside him said, "Kang Rulin's reaction was exactly what you expected."

Jiang Daozhen: "This is obvious, isn't it within your expectations?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Kang Rulin dislikes the Shi family and wants to cut ties with them, but it's difficult. After all, he was born into Shi Gaoyu's family and received the teachings from him. If he doesn't take care of the descendants of the Shi family, it would be morally unacceptable.

His wife was the daughter of Shi Gaoyu, ten years his senior, and had been dead for twenty years. None of his disciples were from the Shi family. He had never invested in any of the Shi family's businesses, but he did accept annual gifts from the younger generation.

But many of the things the Shi family has done over the years, even if they don't say it openly, are due to his reputation as the elder of the clan hall.

This time, Kang Rulin also included himself in the list of people to be reprimanded and pursued, but after careful verification, there was nothing that could be pursued back from him, which shows how clean the private separation was.

Therefore, many people will praise Elder Kang for his strict self-discipline and selfless spirit, which does not damage his reputation.

Jiang Daozhen waved his hand: "Let's not talk about him anymore. What's going on with Meixian? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

The Plum Blossom Fairy he was referring to was none other than Mei Guyu, the elder of the Danding Sect, also known as the Plum Blossom Fairy. Mei Guyu had spent most of the past few years in seclusion in the Xianhu Cave Heaven in Xianhuping, and had not appeared in any of the events this year.

Li Xiuyuan: "Why are you staring at her? It was already explained before she went into seclusion. The clan law hall decided that the second elder can fully represent her opinion."

Jiang Daozhen: "It's been a while since I last saw her. I've always felt that her temperament has become increasingly aloof in recent years. I wonder if it has something to do with her cultivation. She never shows up for meetings. Isn't that a bad sign?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Even if she didn't say it, we know that she wants to break through to the seventh-level Great Pharmacist. You can set up a chess stall at the village entrance for twenty-three years, but you can't bear to see others retreat in the cave?"

Jiang Daozhen quickly waved his hand: "That's not what I meant! Can't I show some concern? Besides, I haven't been indifferent to everything these years. Don't I communicate with you online every month?"

Li Xiuyuan: "The techniques of Lingxi and Danding are different in terms of breaking through barriers, so they can't be lumped together. Tell me straight away, why do you want to see her?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Don't you think what He Kao just said is a little strange?"

A seventh-rank mathematician actually uttered the word "wonderful", which means that this matter is truly strange, even indescribable.

Li Xiuyuan frowned and said, "So you feel the same way?"

Jiang Daozhen nodded, and the two of them stopped talking. This feeling was hard to explain, but they could communicate through their minds. How could they describe it? It was as if they all had an illusion, a forgotten, long-lost memory that was suddenly brought back to mind.

Jiang Daozhen: "I just seemed to recall that before the rebellion of Yinniang and the Woodcutter, the sect had a rule to abide by, called the 'Common Punishment Order'."

Li Xiuyuan: "I remember it too, but we... aren't that old! How could we possibly remember something that happened 1,200 years ago?" The two elders exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and even a hint of fear. What kind of thing could have so terrified both of them?
It was extremely rare for sixth- and seventh-level cultivators to have illusions, and it was almost impossible for two elders to have the same illusion.

But it happened anyway. Was it some kind of divine will?

Li Xiuyuan: "I don't remember my master teaching me this, nor do I remember anyone telling me this. Old Ghost, your cultivation is higher than mine, and you are proficient in the art of divination. Can you analyze it?"

Jiang Daozhen: "My last name is Jiang, not Xie. In my opinion, the most likely reason lies in the inherited heart seal we obtained.

Our cultivation is far from perfect, and the mind seals left by our ancestors must have aspects we don't understand. That child just happened to mention the karmic law related to this today, which is why we have this feeling."

Li Xiuyuan nodded silently without saying anything. Jiang Daozhen added, "There is another possibility."

Li Xiuyuan: "What's possible?"

Jiang Daozhen: "What do you think?"

Li Xiuyuan: "That's how it should be!"

Jiang Daozhen nodded and said, "Yes, that's how it should be."

Li Xiuyuan: "He Kao will send an email to the Zongfa Hall, and they will forward it to the Second Elder to see if they feel the same way."

Jiang Daozhen: "It should be the same. We'll know when we ask."

This is what happened this morning. In the afternoon, the clan hall received an email from someone claiming to be Yin E, and immediately forwarded the message to all the elders.

Mei Guyu was in seclusion, and Jiang Daozhen and Li Xiuyuan also received it.

The Second Elder hadn't checked his email during the brief meeting, so he forwarded it to the other elders. He Kao's letter silenced the elders, and their reactions were similar to those of Jiang Daozhen and Li Xiuyuan.

After a long while, Gu Chun said, "I'll give Jiang Laogui a call first."

After the call was connected, the six elders confirmed that they all felt the same way, and Jiang Daozhen still gave the same explanation. Those present had to seriously examine He Kao's email.

The content of the email was actually very simple. He Kao first expressed his respect and gratitude to the Zongfatang in the name of Yin'e, and then put forward a suggestion.

He believes that in the process of investigating Yin'e's identity, the Shi family should pay special attention to the behavior of Miao's father and Huang's mother. They should not simply punish the parties involved, but should formulate special countermeasures.

As for how to do it specifically, He Kao did not mention it. He did not think it through very clearly, so he suggested that the clan hall consider it.

In fact, what Gu Jiang instructed his men to do violated the sect's rules. If they were discovered, they would be punished. The method of punishment would depend on the specific circumstances, so it seemed that there was no need to formulate any special rules.

But if you think about it more carefully, the problem doesn't seem that simple.

Because this kind of thing is almost impossible to prevent, and more importantly, the victim has no room to resist and cannot even detect the perpetrator's actions.

For example, when Mother Chen fell into a ditch while riding her electric scooter, people still think it was her own carelessness. At that time, no one thought it was a man-made accident.

If a warlock, especially a high-level warlock, wanted to attack an ordinary person, it would be impossible to prevent him, and it would be difficult to detect.

If there is a fight between sorcerers, the sect will have its own relevant punishments, but if one party threatens the safety of the other party's relatives and friends, how should this matter be handled?

Sometimes you don’t even need to threaten directly, just a hint will do. For example, Zhang San says to Li Si, “The weather has been bad recently. Your daughter should take care of herself and don’t get sick for no reason.”

The core issue of this matter is that Zhang San really has the ability to make Li Si's daughter fall seriously ill for no apparent reason!
According to the existing sect rules, if this matter is reported to the elders, the most they can do is warn Zhang San.

If the warning is useless and Zhang San really takes action in secret, it is still unclear whether the Shumen can find conclusive evidence. Even if it does, it can only pursue punishment afterwards.

If the consequences are not serious, the punishment for Zhang San may not be too severe.

But how does Li Si feel as the one being threatened? He might even be unable to sleep or eat!
So what should be done? He Kao didn't say anything, but several elders all "remembered" at the same time. Before the rebellion of Yinniang and the woodcutter, the sect had issued an order to kill all the people together.

When warlocks fight with each other, they are not allowed to threaten the other party's innocent relatives and friends. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished by the whole world.

This sentence is simple, but there are several key points that need to be emphasized.

First of all, it is applicable to fights between sorcerers, and the targets of punishment are also disciples of the sorcerer, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people outside the sorcerer.

Secondly, the people it protects are the innocent relatives and friends of both sides of the fight. They are not members of the sect and have nothing to do with the fight itself.

For example, two sorcerers were fighting over a magic weapon, but Zhang San told Li Si: "If you don't give up, be careful of your father's safety!"

This is a typical case targeted by the collective punishment order. Although it seems harsh, it actually limits the fighting within the sect and protects the relatives and families of all disciples of the sect.

The punishment is simple and brutal, with only one sentence: collective punishment. What if you have any objections? Just don't offend.

After finishing the call with Jiang Daozhen, the four elders looked at each other... Finally, Gu Chun said, "I have never experienced such a strange thing before. What do you think?"

Second Elder: "It should be just as Jiang Laogui said, and it is related to the inherited heart seal we have received."

Kang Rulin frowned and said, "The divine seal passed down by our ancestor did not specifically mention the order of joint execution, otherwise how could we not know about it?
Some profound secrets are beyond our ability to decipher, but there should be relevant records. That's why we felt this way when we saw Yin Mo's letter."

The Second Elder nodded and said, "That's right."

Wild Phoenix: "No matter what the principle is, we only consider whether the execution order is necessary."

Kang Rulin: "Let's release it together with the next announcement from the Zongfa Hall."

Gu Chun: "No need to wait until next time. This matter is serious and the clan law hall should make a special announcement."

He Kao didn't know that because of one of his emails, the clan law hall was planning to issue a special "community execution order." He returned to Qiyuan in the evening, and Lao Qian drove to pick him up. Then he met Yang Lingxi and her daughter again.
