When everything was ready, Xiao Yu summoned the ghost corpses and others to leave the underground cave.
Maoshan has been very lively in the past month, because with the spread of the laymen, the news that Maoshan was preparing to hold a rain praying ceremony spread through various channels.
The incense from Maoshan was originally very effective, but now it is spreading through various channels and is even more popular.
Pilgrims from all over come here in different ways.
The industrial benefits driven by Maoshan were also highlighted at this time.
Because when Maoshan was first opened, the Exorcist Alliance obtained the management rights of the land on the major hills around Maoshan from the government.
Lao Bai and others directly sublet it, allowing some lay disciples to practice in restaurants and hotels, thereby motivating surrounding farmers to sell local specialties and increase their extra income.
But as the manager Maoshan, they strictly control the prices, receive free incense, and do not set up merit boxes in each temple.
According to the B&B standards of big hotels, each room is low-priced and priced at 50 yuan.
Moreover, Laobai does not accept tour groups, and any tourist vehicles are not allowed within ten miles of Maoshan.
The wishing pond is filled with lotus seeds as wishing seeds, and living creatures are not allowed to enter.
Under the influence of a series of measures, although Maoshan is crowded with people, it is not overly commercialized.
What Lao Bai and others do is to provide convenience for pilgrims, and pilgrims who go up the mountain at a certain time can also dine with Taoist priests from Maoshan.
Although Maoshan does not ban meat and fish, the important mountain gate, like Buddhism, still mainly adopts vegetarian food.
Of the nine peaks around Maoshan, only three are open to the public, including the Yuhua Zhenjun Hall.
There are no ticket restrictions for the three peaks, but there are restrictions on the number of people who can go up the mountain.
Because some Taoist temples do not have population restrictions, stampedes will occur and some mortals will die.
What's more, due to smoking and burning incense, fires broke out in the entire mountain forest, and countless fire fighters lost their lives.
Although under the Dao Sect, Xiao Yu and any of the elders in the mountain can put out the fire if they go out, but the so-called heavenly decree means that the Dao Sect cannot interfere with these matters. Only mortals can put out the fire by themselves in order to give a warning.
As soon as Xiao Yu appeared in Maoshan, Wang Yanfeng rushed up.
"Reporting to the leader, some of the monsters and ghosts that escaped two months ago are back!
Elder Bai had already started a quarrel with those people at the foot of the mountain because he refused to let them go up the mountain."
Wang Yanfeng said anxiously.
"Since you betrayed Maoshan, why did you come back again? Did they treat me, Maoshan, as an inn?"
Wang Yanfeng is naturally the named disciple that Xiao Yu accepted from abroad.
Since the other party came to Maoshan, he has been practicing diligently and has never left Maoshan. However, because he is a werewolf, he has not made any major breakthroughs in his cultivation.
Xiao Yu also thought about going to the werewolf tribe after finishing his work for a while and asking about Wang Yanfeng.
If the werewolf clan can re-accept Wang Yanfeng, it will also find a new way out for them.
"That's what Elder Bai said, but they said that Elder Bai was a corrupt criminal and was not qualified to manage them.
Senior Brother Liu went to Yuhua Peak, and Senior Brother Xiaofei left Maoshan alone after his quarrel with Elder Qinglong a few days ago, and now his whereabouts are unknown.
Elder Qinglong has also disappeared these days.
Mrs. Xiao Xue took her children to the foot of the mountain. Now there is no one in charge on the mountain.
Chief, what should I do?"
Wang Yanfeng told in one breath the current movements of everyone in Maoshan.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he also frowned. There is such a huge Maoshan, and now only Lao Bai is responsible for it at the foot of the mountain. There is only one person on the mountain, Wang Yanfeng.
After his parents and children lost their souls, Xiao Xue had a hard time taking care of them, so Xiao Yu let them go outside to play for a while.
Qinglong wanted to return to the Monster Clan, and he originally took Xiaofei back with him. However, Xiaofei had a quarrel with Qinglong and left Maoshan alone. Now he is nowhere to be found.
The white dragon didn't turn into a blue dragon and was very depressed, so when he came back, he went to his mountain and closed the door.
After all, this is all due to my own reasons.
I still think that Maoshan is what it used to be, with people taking care of the ghost and demon towers, and people managing the mountains and downstairs, so there is no good arrangement.
But I didn't expect that now the population was withering, and there was only Lao Bai busy on the whole mountain.
"Go tell Elder Bai and ask him to put the person up.
Since they still have the nerve to come back, then I will let them know that not everyone can stay in Maoshan."
Xiao Yu quickly walked into the hall and continued to issue instructions.
"Gather the disciples who went up the mountain to come to the main hall to listen to the announcement.
Tell Liu Shijie to report all the merits and demerits of everyone in the past year."
He was about to leave Maoshan again and head to the secret realm of Penglai.
All matters in this mountain, big or small, need to be managed by people.
Seeing that Liu Shijie was about to leave, Xiao Xue lost another helper.
So far, Lao Bai has still not resumed his duties. He indeed does not have the strength to command those great demons.
Seeing that Xiao Yu's face was not very good-looking, Wang Yanfeng immediately cupped his hands and quickly retreated.
"Lao Bai has been demoted for many days, and he must have woken up. After I leave, I'm afraid he is the only one who can make reasonable arrangements.
When the time comes, let Ice Silkworm, Xiaoqiang, and Insect King wait nearby to support, and it should be able to operate."
As time went by, the operation of the big machine in Maoshan made Xiao Yu feel more and more powerless.
To put it bluntly, he had many warriors and few advisers around him, and the division of labor in all aspects was not fully considered.
Another point is that Xiao Yu relies on nepotism. Most of the people in charge are his friends and he does not delegate power to others.
Otherwise, there would not be such a situation now.
Soon after Wang Yanfeng left, disciples entered the hall one after another, saluted Xiao Yu and then sat on a futon on one side.
After Liu Shijie left, He Gui was the only one among the older generation of disciples, so after the manager left, he was ready to come out.
But He Gui was not rigorous in his work and was easily impulsive, so Xiao Yu was still worried.
An hour later, Lao Bai quickly walked into the hall with two or three people.
"The Ghost Taluo Army has met the leader.
The yellow bird monster in the demon tower has met the master
Demon Tower Beaver has met the leader."
Two big demons and one ghost king. Although their cultivation levels are not very high, Xiao Yu heard Liu Shijie say that these three people are extremely arrogant.
Because he took the demons to the demon clan, they had no one to control them and became extremely wanton.
Some even refused to listen to the announcement and openly confronted Liu Shijie.
What's more, the ghost king went to the earth god and wanted to share the power of the incense with him.
Xiao Yu knew all kinds of bad habits very clearly, but he didn't want to punish people when he first came back, so he left it now.
"Why did the three of you quarrel with Elder Bai at the foot of the mountain?
Don’t you know that he is my elder under the mountain?”
Xiao Yu leaned on his seat and looked at the three of them, saying with great indifference.
"Master, things are not what you think.
The three of us went out on a mission two months ago to hunt down first-rate sand beasts.
The quicksand beast controls mudslides and floods villages when it rains.
After listening to Elder Liu's words, the three of us went to encircle and suppress it, but the quicksand beast was extremely cunning.
Every time when we were about to capture it, the Quicksand Beast would run away, so we delayed the opportunity to come back, and we didn't mean to be careless."
