The Fire Lotus Sect has more than a thousand members, so its organization will naturally be divided into multiple levels and departments for easier management.
Among them, the highest level is naturally the "Fire Lotus Great Immortal" Shi Xuanzi.
And under Shi Xuanzi, the ones whose status is second only to him are the five hall masters of the Fire Lotus Sect——
He Yi, the leader of Honglian Hall, "Mountaintop Arhat".
Chen Zu, the leader of Qinglian Hall, the "Green Face Patriarch".
Tong Gu, the leader of the Blue Lotus Hall, the "Undefeated Vajra".
Huang Zhong, the leader of the White Lotus Hall and the "Reincarnation of the Han Dynasty".
The leader of the Black Lotus Hall, "Black Wind Overlord" Jiang Ba.
Under these five hall masters, each hall also has nine "seat officials", ranked from "second seat" to "tenth seat".
Under the "Xi Guan", those members of the congregation are divided into nine levels from "One Lotus" to "Nine Lotus" according to their seniority and merit.
It can be seen that the "Immortal Sword" Peng Er in front of you has a very high status in the Fire Lotus Sect. Even if your mathematical ability is similar to that of Brother Sun, it is not difficult to calculate... What is Peng Er's status in the sect?
The top thirty people.
Seeing this, some people may want to ask again, how can a small leader of his level come to the city gate in person to preside over the search? This kind of work that is exposed to the sun and wind on the front line, isn't it all for the following?
Did people do it?
Two reasons: first, this job is lucrative; second, there is no trust relationship from top to bottom in the Fire Lotus Sect.
This first point is easy to understand, so I won’t explain it. Let’s talk about the second point...
We all know that in the officialdom, the big corrupt official lets the little corrupt officials go to the front line to make money, and then he takes a large portion of the money collected by the little corrupt officials and lets the little corrupt officials drink some soup. This is true.
Why?
That is of course not because they trust each other to be gentlemen, nor is it because scholars still pay attention to the Basic Law even if they are corrupt, but because the bureaucratic system they live in is stable and solid enough, and their corruption process has also been tested by time and is enduring.
.
But if this system is replaced by a less stable system and implemented by a group of less reliable people, it will obviously not work.
For example, a seller asks a drug addict to withdraw money from the bank for him and says that after he withdraws it, I will give you 10% of the errand fee. Do you think he can get it back?
People from the Fire Lotus Sect fit this situation.
This group of people say they are believers, but in fact they are just a bunch of rabble: mostly ruffians, gamblers and drunkards.
When it comes to flirting, cheating, and cheating... they are good at it, but if you want them to make money for you without lining their own pockets, forget it.
Today Peng Er is sitting here in person. After a busy day, he can take away 90% of the money and give the remaining 10% to the others. Then he can shamelessly say: "Don't think I took 90%, but in fact it's more than half."
I have to pay filial piety to my superiors, so I don’t have much left in my mouth.” But in fact... it would be good if he could take out one-fifth of what he had in hand to pay filial piety to the superiors, and he would complain to his superiors after the incident, “That’s it.
That’s enough, the big boss is respectful to you, but my share is not as much as the brothers below.”
Of course, neither his superiors nor his subordinates would believe his bullshit, because his superiors and subordinates are the same as him.
Or else, only rogues know rogues best.
But they won't point this out to each other. After all, they are all working in the same "society"; besides, what will happen even if you tell them? There is no principle in this kind of cult organization, it all relies on
Strength speaks for itself.
Here we have to say something...
There are many people in the bureaucracy who rely on nepotism to survive, and it can even be said that they are the majority. However, it is rare for those evil organizations to have this situation... There are also a minority.
In the Fire Lotus Sect, those who can achieve the level of "Chief Officer", without exception, rely on their strength to reach the position.
Therefore, Peng Er's strength is relatively powerful among the mob.
It's just that the nickname of "Immortal Killing Sword" is indeed a bit high for him... But if you look at the nicknames of the five hall leaders, you should understand that this is the style of the Fire Lotus Sect; because their nicknames are mainly to scare the common people.
Yes, the more exaggerated it is, the more effective it is. As for what people in the world think of it... it doesn't matter.
"What? Are you worthy of being called Immortal Killer Sword?" At this moment, Sun Yixi heard this nickname. He was surprised at first, and then became happy, "Ha! Hahahahaha... Okay, okay, okay..." He answered with a smile.
He said, "Then are you usually responsible for handling river fresh food... or seafood?"
"I think you are tired of living!" Peng Eryi saw that the other party did not give up after hearing his "prestige". He also put on a mocking face and hurt others with his meanness, so he became a little angry and immediately became angry.
With a roar, he raised his sword and struck.
In fact, he was just trying to scare Sun Yixie, and he was not prepared to kill him.
Although the Fire Lotus Sect is powerful, in broad daylight, with people coming and going, they hack people to death in the street without any explanation. At least he, Peng Er, doesn't dare...
Therefore, Peng Er just thought that a normal person would hide from his attack. When the time comes, he will let the other party see some blood, and the other party will be intimidated.
unexpectedly……
When he struck down with his sword, Sun Yixie did not move.
There was really no need for him to move.
Although today's Sun Yixie's martial arts cannot be said to be very high, it is still more than comparable to someone like Peng Er.
Peng Er has studied martial arts for several years, but he only knows a few moves. He has never seen any serious internal skills and mental methods. On the green forest road, this kind of person can be regarded as somewhere between a "strong man" and a "warrior" at most.
" Between the levels, the "Gan Feihong, the master of bow and sword" whom Sun and Huang met on the Yangtze River might be a little more powerful than him.
As for Sun Yixie, he is a person with internal strength after all - although he does not practice the Inversion of the Universe Mind Technique diligently, it is a peerless internal skill after all. With normal practice, his strength will increase faster than those who practice inferior internal skills.
.
Of course, the most important thing is...Brother Sun also has protective armor.
Peng Er's knife seemed to Sun Yixie to be slow and weak, and it was aimed at his shoulder, so of course he had nothing to do, so he just stood there and let him chop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Peng Er was stunned when he was about to take out the knife. He thought to himself: What's wrong with this kid? Is he really desperate for his life? Or is he just scared? He doesn't even hide when the knife comes?
But now, he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He couldn't just move the knife away and wave it away, right? So he took a breath of anger and slightly tilted the blade, thinking of cutting off a piece of flesh on the opponent's shoulder. Seeing how this guy was still doing it.
Can't stand upright.
But in the end, when Peng Er's knife fell on Sun Yixie's shoulder, Sun Yixie was fine, but Peng Er's own hand was numbed by the shock.
"Hiss——" Peng Er felt something wrong coming from his hand, and immediately took a breath of cold air, sheathed the knife and retreated quickly.
As for Sun Yixie, he first looked at the torn clothes on his shoulders with a disdainful look, and then used a very natural movement to pull the worn shawl behind him to cover his shoulders to prevent the other party from the torn clothes.
I saw his protective armor in his mouth.
After a breath, Sun Yixie finished these two actions and said, "Everyone saw it, he was the one who made the move first."
"You... what do you want to do?" Peng Er was also very alert. At this moment, he knew that Sun Yixie was not an ordinary person, so when he heard the other party's words... there was a faint hint of something in them.
The flavor of "unlimited defense".
"Heh..." Sun Yixie smiled calmly, "What I want to do depends on your performance..." He paused and continued, "If you get out of the way now, then it's easy to say, 'I want to come in'
If you still nag me, I might want you to pay for my clothes; and if you still dare to attack me, I think it's a 'justifiable defense', which is reasonable, right?"
What he said was considered a step.
Although it may not look good going down these stairs, it is possible to go down at least...
Peng Er thought to himself at this moment: I have probably met a master in the world, right? When the knife was passed just now, not only did this kid not move at all, not even a drop of blood was shed, he also shocked me so much, he must be a legend.
His magical iron cloth shirt... If this fight really breaks out, it will only rely on a few of my people here. I'm afraid there won't be enough for the other party to see... This doesn't include the Taoist priest next to him who has not yet taken action... Forget it, forget it,
If a good guy doesn't want to suffer the immediate loss, I'd better let them in first and keep an eye on them secretly until I go find the hall master to take care of them.
Thinking of this, Peng Er's face skillfully put on a smile: "Hahaha... It turns out that we are friends from Dao'er. I'm sorry for my disrespect. I'm sorry for Peng's poor eyesight. I didn't recognize you two just now.
I offend you... I hope you two won't take offense."
"Yeah...it's all a misunderstanding. Just let it go." Sun Yi replied with a humorous smile.
"Ha... that's easy to say." Huang Donglai looked at Peng Er with unabashed disdain and replied.
"Both of you, please... please..." Peng Er saw that the other party did not humiliate him any further, so he quickly stopped. While nodding and bowing to Shuang Xie, he gestured to the seven or eight Fire Lotus Cult minions behind him with his hands.
They got out of the way.
Sun and Huang paid no attention to him and entered the city without hesitation.
When they walked a little further, Peng Er's face immediately showed a ferocious look, and he lowered his voice and said to a minion beside him: "Quick, call a few brothers, follow them, give me
Watch to death!"
"Yes." The gangster received the order, and immediately waved and brought a few people with him, and followed the flow of people into the city.
At this time, Peng Er turned around again and said to the other Fire Lotus cultists: "You continue to search here, I want to go back to Qinglian Hall."
…………
The words are divided into two parts. At the same moment, Jining City, the chief helm of the Fire Lotus Sect, is in the Qinglian Hall.
On the high seat of the hall master, Chen Zu, the "green-faced ancestor", was sitting majestically.
On both sides of him, there were seven sitting officials. Except for the second and fifth seats, which were empty, all the other officials were there.
And downstairs, there was also a person standing.
A person who always has a smile on his face.
"It's you..." At this time, Chen Zuzheng looked condescendingly at the people in the hall with a perfunctory expression, "...you said you want to join me in the Fire Lotus Sect, and you'll never do it unless you are an official, right?"
"Exactly." Xiao Wuji replied calmly.
"I just heard from my men that your martial arts skills are so good that even the guards at the door can't stop you?" Chen Zudao.
"I can't stop it." He smiled Wuji.
"Ha..." Chen Zu still didn't take the other party seriously, "but these brothers around me are also good at martial arts, and they can defeat the guards outside at will..."
The implication of his words couldn't be more obvious. Only halfway through his words, the seven officials around him had already cast fierce glances at Xiao Wuji.
"You want to say that defeating a few minions is useless. Only by defeating the Chief Officer can I prove that I am qualified to be the Chief Officer?" Xiao Wuji continued.
"Now that you understand..." Chen Zu said, glancing around twice, "...just pick one."
"No need." Xiao Wuji replied.
"What?" Chen Zu smiled, "Are you scared?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that there's no need." Xiao Wuji said.
"How do you say it?" Chen Zu asked.
"Don't you think it's strange that the 'second seat' person on your right didn't come today without saying hello?" Xiao Wuji seemed to have suddenly changed the subject.
But actually...he didn't.
This is what he said.
When Chen Zu heard this, he didn't react at first, but after a few seconds, his expression changed: "How many moves did you use to defeat him?"
"How many moves can you use to defeat him?" Xiao Wuji asked back.
Chen Zu thought for a while: "Five moves."
"Then I will give you six moves." Xiao Wuji said.
Chen Zu was silent, a long silence.
The surrounding officials had different expressions on their faces, but none of them dared to speak. Their smiling eyes also changed from contempt and hostility... to fear.
"What's your name?" After a moment, Chen Zu finally spoke again.
"Xiao Wuji." Xiao Wuji replied.
"Here comes someone!" The next second, Chen Zu shouted loudly.
A member of the congregation outside the church heard the sound and came in: "What are your instructions, Master?"
Chen Zu is also very efficient: "Take Xiao Erxi to the warehouse...to get a set of holy clothes from my teaching."
