Chapter 62 Deciding on Candidates
Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.
A Kun Dao with a cold temperament and picturesque features stood in front of the main hall with a solemn expression.
Some Longhushan disciples in Taoist robes stood in front of her, some relaxed, some serious, but they all looked like they were waiting for instructions.
And this Kun Dao with extraordinary temperament was none other than Zuo Yi, a disciple of Ye Qingxuan's sect.
Although she is not old, she is not young in seniority. With her upright character, she handles the affairs of the family in an orderly manner and has never made any mistakes. She takes care of most of the affairs in the family, big and small.
Therefore, what you say at the door on weekdays carries a lot of weight.
At this time, Zuo Yi looked around. After seeing everyone had arrived, she said in a clear voice:
"Master, you must have heard about his retreat, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Zuo Yi hummed, then walked around and said casually:
"The old man just showed off his power at the foot of the mountain and gave our Longhu Mountain a lot of prestige. I think everyone who came to the door will have benefited from it, right?"
Hearing this, some of the more junior Longhushan disciples suddenly became excited.
"That's really nothing to say! Some distant relatives have called me specifically in the past two days. They all politely offered me money and asked if Longhu Mountain is still hiring!"
"My six-year-old cousin came to me and wanted to join our Longhu Mountain, hahaha!"
"Uncle Zuo, Master, he is so fierce! In the past two days, 11 out of 10 people on the mountain are fans of Master!"
"I chatted with friends from other Taoist temples, and they all admired our Longhu Mountain!"
"..."
Not only are these young disciples excited, but some experienced veterans also have smiles on their faces at this moment.
Obviously, what Ye Qingxuan did at the foot of the mountain during this period made them very proud in Xuanmen.
Zuo Yi coughed lightly, and after the heated discussion calmed down, she said slowly:
"We are all from the same sect of Longhu Mountain, so if you are grateful, you can let it go for a while.
"Master is currently in seclusion, presumably to gain some insights into the Taoism. We, the disciples, naturally cannot disturb him.
"This is not a big deal, but the reason why I called everyone together today is because something happened at Fuso."
"Fuso?" Some disciples who don't often go online asked in confusion.
Fusang and Longhu Mountain are thousands of miles apart. No matter how big a change happens, it shouldn't affect the mountain gate, right?
The faces of some disciples who had heard about it changed slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Yi calmly told the story about the festival held at Fuso Shrine and the Fuso Congressman's speech at the press conference.
After listening to her story, the air in the entire mountain gate gradually became quiet, and obvious anger appeared on the faces of the disciples.
As a representative of righteousness, how could Longhushan allow a small country with a blood feud to be so presumptuous?
Naturally, he was furious!
Seeing this situation, Zuo Yi nodded and said:
"Fusang's move not only provokes Hanxia's national prestige, but also fails to take Longhu Mountain into consideration."
“The public opinion in the mountains is very fierce now, and many people place their hopes on our Longhu Mountain.
"As Master's disciple, I, Zuo Yi, am also a disciple of Longhu Mountain."
"Let me ask you, right now, the little country of Fuso is provoking Master and his newly built reputation, can we bear it?"
After the words fell, all the disciples stepped forward and shouted in unison:
"cannot!"
The sound echoed through the night sky.
Zuo Yi nodded slightly at first, and then said in a solemn tone:
"This afternoon, the National Security Bureau called me. Master was in retreat without his cell phone. I answered the call.
"The caller said that if Longhushan wants to participate in Fuso's invitation, they can provide an invitation quota."
The words just fell.
Then a highly qualified Taoist priest snorted coldly, stepped forward and said:
"Xiao Zuo, although my uncle's cultivation is not as good as that of the Heavenly Master, he is still worthy of recognition in the sect. Let me go! I want to frustrate the spirit of those Fuso dogs!"
"Old Tian, your cultivation level is not as good as mine, so let me go." Another old Taoist in red robe shook his head and said.
He turned his eyes to Zuo Yi and said with a smile:
"Xiao Zuo, I'm a tough old man. I'm almost a hundred years old. Even if I die in Fusang, it won't be a bad thing, right? I promise you, before I die, I will definitely mess up that god's toilet!"
Then one after another older Longhushan disciples came forward and asked for help.
Those with junior qualifications silently clenched their fists and complained in their hearts that they were not up to par.
Zuo Yi took in all their reactions and then slowly replied:
"Masters and uncles, you are old and have put in a lot of effort for Longhu Mountain, which is the foundation of Longhu Mountain.
"This trip to Fusang is too dangerous, and I'm sorry that Zuo Yi can't agree to it because you risk your lives.
"As for those who are still junior, let alone them. Your magical powers are far from mature. Even if your hands bleed, I won't let you go down the mountain."
She paused and then said:
“So, for this operation, I will occupy this spot and go to Fuso.
"First of all, I am the descendant of my master. I am far superior to all the masters and nephews in terms of skill, so I have a high chance of escaping unscathed.
"Secondly, my identity is there after all. I can suppress the public opinion under the mountain and show the sincerity of our Longhu Mountain."
"That's inappropriate!" Someone immediately retorted, "Xiao Zuo, you are the only disciple of the Heavenly Master, how can you put yourself in danger?"
"Everyone in Longhu Mountain is united. If there is no reason, I can't do it. There are many seniors in the sect who are suitable for taking charge. All things considered, I am the most suitable candidate." Zuo Yi replied calmly.
Seeing that there were still people who wanted to refute, she continued:
“Everyone, I have already replied to Guoan, and the Fuso Festival is just three days away, so there is no time for us to make a slow decision.
"Besides, I'm not going to die. Master's Celestial Master Seal is still with me. If I drive it, I can at least escape unscathed.
"Fellow disciples, just wait for my news on the mountain!"
After the girl finished speaking, no one raised any objection.
