When the state machine is truly activated, its efficiency and capabilities will exceed those of any party.
It didn't even take seven days. On the fifth day, the relevant information had been handed over to Gongsun Qingyue, who would then hand it over to Jiang Li.
Then, the time came on the first day of July.
This day is the day for the outer sect lectures that are held once every seven days. The outer sect elders who are on duty will explain the cultivation matters and the method of fusion of Tao and Fruit in Kaiyang Hall. Many outer sect disciples who have not yet become disciples will come to listen to the lecture.
And look for opportunities to ask questions to the elders.
Jiang Li was also a frequent attendee at the beginning. In the first two years, he never missed a lecture. However, as his spiritual practice deepened, the simple methods taught by the outer sect elders were no longer applicable to him.
absent.
Now that Jiang Li was reliving his old dream, he felt an unspeakable emotion, because this time, he was not in the audience, but sitting on the stage.
At the end of the broad hall, there is a white jade-like pulpit standing, with a radius of nine feet and nine, and a height of three feet and three. It takes the ultimate meaning of numbers and the magic of three and three. There is a futon and a bronze chime on it, which are the common rules for the forum in Taoism.
Jiang Li wore the green robe of an outer sect disciple, walked up to the podium, and sat cross-legged on the futon. Although he looked young, he had a bearing that was no less than that of the elders of the outer sect.
The outer disciples who arrived first saw someone on the platform and wanted to reprimand him, but when they saw Jiang Li's face, they hesitated, not knowing whether to stop or ignore him.
Jiang Li had defeated several inner disciples in a row a few days ago, and his reputation had spread among the outer sects. Many people speculated that Jiang Li had been promoted to the eighth rank long ago, but had not yet reported to the sect to change his identity.
Moreover, there are rumors in the outer sect that Jiang Li has a close relationship with Gongsun Qingyue, the true successor of the inner sect, and the two may be having an affair.
With such strength and background, he might have the approval of the outer sect elders when he takes the stage. It would be thankless to rashly rebuke him. It would be better to wait and see how things develop.
It can only be said that people who can become disciples of the Dinghu Sect are not stupid. They may not have great wisdom, but they are definitely smart and understand the ways of the world, so that there are no popular slaps in the face.
There were other disciples whose expressions changed slightly when they saw Jiang Li, and then quietly exited Kaiyang Hall.
After a while, they came back with more disciples.
Some of these people may be interested in Jiang Li, after all, Jiang Li is in the spotlight.
There are also some who follow other true disciples and come to inquire for information.
Of course, there are also people from the Jiang family among them.
When the lecture started, the huge Kaiyang Hall was actually crowded. Clothes of two colors, green and red, crowded the hall. Both outer disciples and inner disciples were there. More than two hundred futons were not enough for people.
Among those sitting, many people were standing and huddled together.
"clang--"
Jiang Li, who seemed to be in a state of wandering mind, opened his eyes, picked up the small mallet at hand and struck the bronze chime, making a crisp sound that echoed throughout the hall.
The disciples who were whispering suddenly stopped and focused on the podium.
At this time, the elder who was giving the lecture had not yet arrived, so it was obvious that Jiang Li had taken over the podium today.
So what would Jiang Li say?
Either curiosity, doubt, or wariness, different thoughts are hidden in everyone's hearts.
Jiang Li looked around from a high position on the podium and could clearly see the various fluctuations of Qi.
Qi and spirit were connected, and the waves in their hearts also caused subtle fluctuations in their own Qi, allowing Jiang Li to see everyone's complicated thoughts.
"Junior brothers," Jiang Li said in a clear voice after looking around for a week, "Jiang Li is here today. He is not going to talk about cultivation, but he wants to talk about something that is closely related to you, me, and the sect."
"In the past, the head of the Jiang family moved overseas, and the branch families went their separate ways. Some of them joined the sect. In order to prevent family grievances from being implicated, they changed their names and entered the sect with various identities.
This life has come to an end.”
Jiang Li did not mention the sect's scruples or Jiang's intentions, but covered up the contradiction in a relatively appropriate way.
Because it's not critical.
What matters is their next choice.
"With the protection of the sect, the Jiang family did not say that everything goes as they wish, but they are also far away from the family's grievances and enjoy peace. However, their branch family is in a bad situation. The Jiang family, whose power has declined greatly, has become the others.
A fat sheep in your eyes.”
With that said, Jiang Li opened the storage bag and took out several files.
Among the disciples who listened to the words, some had already begun to sense that something was wrong and felt anxious.
"In Zhending County, Jizhou, the 23rd branch of the family was attacked and killed by strongmen three years ago. More than half of the family was killed or injured. Now they have moved out of the county and settled in a small town in the county."
Jiang Li opened the file and read clearly: "In Changshan County, Jizhou, the 16th branch of the family was divided. They were set up by others and owed huge debts. They sold their shops to repay them, changed their surname to Xu, and moved to another state."
"In Julu County, Jizhou, the 19th lineage was divided into two families. One family stayed in Julu and the other moved to Qinghe."
The Jiang family lives with the country and enjoys wealth and honor, which is both enviable and jealous. When a family like this falls into the mortal world, countless malice will follow.
The situation of family separation was read out one after another. At first, some people did not realize the intention, but they became aware of it after they found that some people around them were not in the right mood.
It turned out that he was from the Jiang family, and it was his family that was mentioned.
I read out the situations of more than ten families one after another. Every family is in a difficult situation. Maybe compared to ordinary people, their lives are not bad, but compared to the past, it is nothing short of a world of difference.
People in a separated family will be loyal to the main family, naturally because they have a huge sense of identification with the family, and it is impossible for such people to ignore their family. When they hear about their family's difficult situation, no matter how depressed they are,
Emotions still show some clues.
"Stop reading it!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd, and someone stood out from the crowd, but it was Li Zhongyue who had been severely injured by Jiang Li before.
Li Zhongyue's face was sallow, and it was obvious that he was still injured, but he still squeezed to the front and shouted: "Jiang Li, this is Jiang's own business, what does it have to do with others? You kept mumbling outside because you think the family has suffered.
Isn’t the shame enough?”
You can't read it any more. If you continue to read it, more people will reveal their flaws. When Jiang Li threatens the family again, someone will definitely betray him.
He must be stopped.
Li Zhongyue's eyes glared angrily and his body tensed, already determined to disrupt Jiang Li's conspiracy.
His strength was not enough to stop Jiang Li, but if he risked his life and crashed to death on this platform, it would surely arouse the hatred of the clan members and make some people strengthen their beliefs.
"This is not a shame," Jiang Li slowly shook his head and said, "What I said is the truth. It is the fact that the master's family abandoned us and separated."
Both Yang Chong and Gongsun Qingyue thought that Jiang Li was going to threaten him with the separation of the family, but Jiang Li never actually planned to rely on threats to get the Jiang family's disciples to side with him.
What he wants to do is to defeat the branch family's expectations for the main family, and then destroy their loyalty.
This method, named collapse therapy by Jiang Li, is specially designed to treat stubborn lickers and foolish loyal people.
"Shendu Yun County, the Seventh Line..." Jiang Li paused deliberately, "The whole family was exterminated, fifty-three people, all died at the hands of the demon cultivators."
"Plop——"
In the crowd, someone suddenly knelt down with a look of despair.
