Some of them wore nondescript Taoist robes, some held fortune-telling and medicine-selling flags, and some simply played the erhu on the street to beg for money. Even weirder ones were those who gave away kitchen knives for free.
Their appearance has also brought more fireworks to the streets and alleys of Rongcheng. Opera singers, acrobats, and shadow puppets can be seen every few streets. lively.
The most lively place is the folk religion stronghold.
"The leader of the Spark Gang, Li Chongxi, has arrived~~~"
At the gate of the stronghold, the pick-up motorcade slowly stopped. Li Chongxi got out of the car and saw that the Minjiao was located in such a It’s a geomantic treasure, the stronghold is still brand new, I can’t help but feel envious.
The current base of the Spark Gang is in Chang'an, borrowing the land of Mr. Qin Liu in Xiaodongmen. They are all old houses, obviously incomparable to Rongcheng West Lake.
Not to mention Cui Yu and the others, they are still living in the crematorium, making money by burning corpses during the day, and can rest a little at night to exchange experiences.
After everyone got out of the car, Yan Shouyi and his friends came out to welcome them.
"Senior Li!"
Yan Shouyi greeted him loudly from a distance, and Li Chongxi also smiled: "Shouyi, long time no see!"
/> "Welcome to Minjiao!" Yan Shouyi shook hands with Li Chongxi, and then noticed the group of people standing behind Li Chongxi.
Cui Yu, the facelifter at the crematorium, Xu Gan, the watchman, Huang Ying, the storyteller...
Most of the people who came were the new generation. They and Yan Shouyi The relationship is also closer and more familiar, which shows that Li Chongxi supported Yan Shouyi with the greatest goodwill this time.
Yan Shouyi greeted them one by one.
“Wow, Brother Yan, the Feng Shui here is so good!” Cui Yu did not hide his amazement and envy at all. If Qiantang didn’t have the foundation left by his grandmother, I’m afraid he would have I can't wait to stay in Rongcheng and join the folk religion.
Xu Qian and Huang Ying were also filled with admiration. Xu Qian said faintly:
“It looks like I’m going to find a rich woman too...”
Huang Ying rolled her eyes at Xu Qian: "Are you talking about Yan Shouyi?"
"I didn't mean that..."
"Hahaha!" Yan Shouyi smiled and patted Xu Gan on the shoulder, "I am a rich woman with strength, what can't you say? Xu Qian, do you want me to teach you a few tricks?"
Xu Qian's eyes lit up: " Is that okay?”
"Then I should be stable." Xu Qian said shamelessly.
Huang Ying rolled her eyes at the side, and Yan Shou discovered that this girl Huang Ying actually seemed to be interested in Xu Qian.
If these two people can be together, they can be regarded as a "fairy couple".
"Everyone, stop standing outside, come in and sit down!"
Yan Shouyi greeted everyone into the folk religion stronghold and introduced them to various parts of the stronghold along the way. Li Chongxi could still manage the location and facilities with some emotion, while the younger generation looked in awe throughout the whole process, with the word envy written all over their faces.
The folk education stronghold was funded by the Lin family and designed and built by the Yan family. It can be said that they are a strong alliance. It is probably difficult to find another stronghold of this size and luxury in the world.
Welcoming Li Chongxi to the meeting hall, Li Chongxi seemed to have something to say, so Yan Shouyi asked Wang Ji to take others to continue the visit while he and Li Chongxi talked alone.
After the screen retreated, Li Chongxi sighed first.
Yan Shouyi knew what Li Chongxi was sighing. After he came back from Changbai Mountain, he told Li Chongxi the news that Li Genmiao had been seized by the imperial master. As Li Genmiao's father, Li Chongxi was naturally in a very happy mood. heavy.
No matter whether Li Genmiao is good or bad, she is Li Chongxi’s flesh and blood.
But after learning that Li Genmiao had died in Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, Li Chongxi felt a sense of relief and at the same time had a revenge target - the national preceptor.
That’s why Li Chongxi supported Yan Shouyi extremely this time. Whether from the perspective of the successor of the folk sect or from the perspective of his father, Li Chongxi’s goals and Yan Shouyi’s goals were completely consistent.
"Now that you have the support of the Spark Gang and Wushen Mountain, only Hongyadong and Changlin Army are left."
Li Chongxi He slowly asked: "I wonder how much you know about Zhou Yan and Hou Jingchen?"
Yan Shouyi shook his head: "The information I have is limited, what advice does Senior Li have?"< br />
"I have been with both of them for a while, and I know them somewhat well, so I came here earlier today. I want to tell you about their situation, so that you can be mentally prepared. ."
Yan Shou immediately straightened his posture: "Senior, please speak."
"Let's talk about Hou Jingchen first. Hou Jingchen is a watchman. , there have been three leading generals in our ancestors. This person has an upright character and is upright, but he is a bit stubborn and sometimes does not recognize the truth. If you want to have a fair dialogue with him, it is best toThe method is to convince people with reason. ”
“To convince people with reason? Didn't the senior say that Hou Jingchen doesn't recognize the truth? " Yan Shouyi said doubtfully.
"The principles I am talking about are the principles of physics." Li Chongxi smiled, "Conquer him first, and then this guy will listen to you seriously. "
Yan Shou coughed twice.
If this is the case, then he doesn't have any pressure. With his current strength, he doesn't have to worry about being unable to deal with Hou Jingchen.
“Hou Jingchen is not greedy for power and still has his original intention. I think it is not difficult to get his support. It was Zhou Yan who was in trouble. Zhou Yan is a suona craftsman, a small person who was really born at the bottom. Later, he relied on one civil sect organization after another, stepping on other people's heads to climb up step by step. When the Fog City Red Flower Society was destroyed, he made the greatest contribution, so he became a Soaring into the sky, Hongya Cave was established. "
"Based on my understanding of Zhou Yan, this man is a smiling tiger. When you meet, he will definitely support his surrender, but he will always find excuses to shirk the blame. Talking to him is like fighting. Tai Chi will not be effective unless it hits the key points. ”
Yan Shou understood the idea wholeheartedly, but he had also been mentally prepared for it. After all, it is normal to encounter resistance when unifying civil sects touches the cake of countless people. .
He humbly asked for advice: "Senior Li, do you have any suggestions about Zhou Yan? "
Li Chongxi pondered for a moment and said:
"Zhou Yan is a smooth man, and his strength is actually his weakness. If you deal with Hou Jingchen, it is equivalent to mastering it. With the popularity of folk sects, Zhou Yan will definitely not go against you without thinking. When the time comes, as long as you offer conditions that make his heart beat, he will definitely agree to it. "
In other words, Zhou Yan is a man who can act according to the circumstances. If Yan Shouyi did not get Hou Jingchen's support, Zhou Yan would probably not give in. On the contrary, it would be much easier to solve.
In the end, we still have to deal with Hou Jingchen.
“Have you decided how to deal with Hou Jingchen? Li Chongxi asked.
Yan Shou thought for a while and replied tentatively: "If a friend comes from afar, he will be killed even though he is far away?" ”
