Chapter 88: Three Thousand Guards, Everything Settled Quickly
"Senior brother, you are temporarily guarding the position of disciple. It is better for you to select the six guards of Anping Mansion yourself." Wang Li thought about it and made a suggestion.
Li Junning thought for a while and agreed: "That's fine, I'm just a temporary representative. I will leave after handling this matter. If not, it would not be good for me to choose myself."
Wang Li understood what he meant. There should also be a certain supervisory and complementary relationship between the guarding disciples. If they continued to hide from each other, it would violate the original intention of rotating every three years.
"Senior brother, do you have any suggestions for the candidates to guard the disciples?"
"How many candidates did Master give you?"
"Three thousand."
Li Junning was stunned, "So many?"
Wang Li nodded: "There are indeed many, far more than the existing number of guards. Even if all the existing people are replaced, it will be fine."
There were eighty-one prefectures in the Shu Dynasty, and there were only seven guards in Anping Prefecture. Each of the eighty-one prefectures had an average of about ten people, and the total number was less than a thousand.
Li Junning frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Junior brother, why not settle them all down."
"What do you mean, senior brother?"
"In the past, there was a guard in a place. What he did or didn't do, Shushan could only get a glimpse of it from the reports written by him. Now that the master has decided to reorganize the system and has given a list of three thousand, then maybe you
We can go deeper and seal all three thousand disciples as guards. Where there were guards before, there will be one master and two assistants, and the remaining disciples will choose the place to seal."
Wang Li was surprised: "Can you do this?"
"Why not?"
"Brother, what I mean is, although I do have the duty of patrol, do I have the power to expand the security?"
Li Junning couldn't help laughing, and shook his head as he said: "Junior brother is indeed cautious, but you are wrong. Shushan did not pay attention to guarding in the past, and even in more cases, guarding was arranged just to represent the world in the structure of heaven, earth and people.
The position of the Immortal Sect. Shushan does not actually participate in mortal affairs, unless there are situations that mortals cannot deal with, such as demons and ghosts. However, over the years, there have been few demons and ghosts causing trouble in the Shushan domain. Therefore, junior brother, you will reveal the story of Anping Fucheng.
, it can be described as vibrating up and down.”
Wang Li roughly understood.
"Furthermore, Shushan Mountain is divided into internal and external areas, which is the difference between the upper and lower fairy cloud seas. Under the cloud sea, there are more and wider hanging mountains. Shushan Mountain is the authentic sect of Xuanmen. Although most of the outer sect disciples are difficult to climb to practice emptiness, they can't.
After years of accumulation, Yuanshen monks are not uncommon. They inherit the spiritual energy of the sea of clouds all the year round and spread their branches and leaves. There is often a family where all the disciples are disciples of Shushan. Even though Shushan has the saying of going down the mountain to enter the world and experience it, most of them still have time.
I haven’t gone out to work for many years.”
Wang Li's eyes moved: "How many disciples are there in the outer sect?"
Li Junning said without hesitation: "There are one hundred thousand disciples in Shu Mountain. Above the sea of clouds, there are less than 20,000 inheritors of the Twelve Immortal Mountains. The rest are all outer sects."
Wang Li couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
That is to say, the productivity of the Xianxia world is booming. Otherwise, with such a large-scale idle population, no matter how large the sect is, it will be brought down.
But looking back, thinking about it, Shushan has been passed down for thousands of years, so it doesn’t really seem like much.
However, groups of outer disciples, even family gatherings, may seem more intimidating than so-called cronies at first glance. But again, in the world of immortals, the strong must be respected.
Not to mention 80,000 outer disciples under the sea of clouds, even 800 million would not be enough.
Therefore, although Li Junning was dissatisfied with the current situation in his words, he did not intend to use Wang Li to provoke the outer sect. Similarly, Wang Li did not feel that he needed to worry about whether the outer sect disciples would be dissatisfied because of this.
The mortal world still pays attention to "eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king", and Shushan is already relaxed enough.
Therefore, Wang Li pondered for a moment, raised his hands and said, "Senior brother, I don't know much about my fellow disciples in Shushan, and I am even stranger to the Shushan region. This matter can be implemented, but I still hope that I can give you some advice."
Li Junning responded seriously: "I will do my best for my brother and never hide any secrets!"
Afterwards, the two of them did not waste time and started discussing the list on the spot. Moreover, neither of them was procrastinating, nor did they have many worries, so the decision-making speed was astonishingly fast.
to afternoon.
After the discussion, Wang Li directly conceived the appointment.
In the entire 81st Mansion of the Shu Dynasty, all the hundreds of original guarding disciples began to prepare for their resignation and handover from now on. The three thousand newly entrusted disciples rushed to take over in the structure of "one master and two deputies", and within seven days, they could not take over.
Don't shirk important matters.
"Junior brother, would you like to think more about this wording?"
"Senior brother, you are overly worried. This is both an appointment and an order. It cannot be refused or discussed. Since Master has given their names, it proves that they have no reason to shirk. However, I also added that it must be a big deal.
Shifting the blame shows tolerance."
"Junior brother, you and Palace Master Wang deserve to be of the same blood."
"Senior brother doesn't seem to be praising me?"
Li Junning shook his head solemnly: "No, the person I admire most is the Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. The law has been established, and the law must be strictly enforced! If you don't follow the rules, you will not be able to follow the rules! If there is a law and you don't follow the law, even though the law is good, it cannot be equal!"
Li Junning is worthy of his upright face.
The matter was decided, Wang Li immediately issued the appointment to all his disciples using his own token.
Then, he took out the Earth Seal and asked, "Senior Brother, is there anyone you can choose?"
Li Junning shook his head directly this time.
Wang Li was not tactful and said bluntly: "I have a candidate." Then he told the story about Ma Shi's family, and the candidate he proposed was not Ma Shi's younger brother Ma Tu, but Ma Shi's mother.
Li Junning thought for a moment and then nodded: "Mortals are better able to understand what they need when they come to do the land, but the disciples of the sect may have some objections."
"Their opinions don't matter. I don't care what they were like in the past. In short, in my eyes, the Earth Goddess is not a tool for them to gather their incense in preparation for converting to Shinto."
Li Junning couldn't help but admire: "Junior brother dares to speak and act, I admire him!"
Wang Li pushed the Earth God Yin in front of Li Junning, "Senior Brother, I would like to ask you to act on your behalf in this matter. After the land is conferred, she can be allowed to return home to meet her eldest son, and her second son can also be arranged to do an errand at the Earth Temple. In addition,
After all, this person is an ordinary woman, and she took office in a hurry, so she asked my senior brother to take care of her."
"Junior brother, don't worry. But you decided on all these matters so quickly and decisively. Is there something urgent?"
Wang Li nodded: "To be honest with you, senior brother, although the Du Xiaoyu incident is over, I still have some unexplained doubts and want to continue investigating in depth."
"Oh? Are you in trouble and do you need my help? Although my brother has not returned to Taoism, he has also achieved perfection."
"Thank you, senior brother, but I don't think this matter will cause much trouble. It's just some research on Du Xiaoyu's background and goals. The case file can be fully completed by then. In addition, I should continue to embark on my own journey of experience and take a look.
It depends on whether the guards in various places follow the orders in a timely manner, and it can be considered that they have lived up to Elder Chen's instructions."
"Okay, brother, let me have tea instead of wine, and wish my junior brother a safe journey!"
After the conversation ended, Wang Li stood up and left.
Returning to the room, the kitten jumped on his shoulder and the big dog followed behind. Wang Li left Anping City without any regrets and walked into the setting sun on the horizon.
When he came outside the city, he unfolded the map, identified the direction, and said to Wangcai: "Can you fly?"
Wangcai hummed twice.
Immediately, Qingshuang came out of the sheath behind him, the sword light jumped up instantly, the man and the sword merged into one, soaring into the sky!
Wangcai looked at the sword light that reached the sky in a moment, moved his four legs, climbed over mountains and ridges, crossed rivers, and followed closely.
Target: the capital of Shu Dynasty! This chapter has been completed!
