Chapter two hundred and forty-six clean and honest hall
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Mu Dezong's disappearance is very strange. There are only two results. Either Mu Dezong is dead, or he has found a way to escape from the control of Chunyang Palace, and may even leave himself in the Mu family tree.
There is no such thing as a secret technique to eliminate traces of the soul.
It can be said that Mu Dezong has completely broken with Chunyang Palace, which has also laid a big hidden danger for Chunyang Palace. Ancestor Lu Yan is still alive, and Mu Dezong probably can't do anything, but if he dies,
Lu Muyang may not be able to suppress him. After all, his potential has been exhausted by the spiritual light stage. This can be seen from the fact that he has not broken through the first level in forty years.
"Zhou Zhengzhe, next you have to increase your penetration into Chunyang Palace. Lu Yan is a very powerful person. He will not sit still and wait for death. He might take some action."
"Yes, Master, but Ye Xiao also has some difficulties."
"What's the difficulty"
"Our cultivation level is too low. Even if we get the handle of Daogang monks, the other party's first reaction is to kill us and silence us instead of being blackmailed by us. If we want to penetrate into higher levels, our people must have higher level
With your cultivation, head, I am not blackmailing you, this is true."
"I understand. I told Poyu when I came back that some of Ye Xiao's people will turn into overt forces and secretly work for us to form sit-in spies. The top management should also be more powerful. Please make a list.
, firstly, you must be loyal and reliable, secondly, you must have superior qualifications, and thirdly, you must be at the twelfth level of the Zifu, and have been polished and precipitated. I will support you to break through the Daogang stage."
"Thank you very much, Master. Thank you very much, Master."
Zhou Zhengzhe was immediately ecstatic. He knew Lin Xiao very well. Since Lin Xiao said this, he would definitely give him strong support and even directly give him Dao Ji Dan.
"No need to thank you in a hurry. Now that you have higher cultivation, you have to do bigger things. Sooner or later, Tiansheng Sect will break away from the control of Chunyang Palace. When the time comes, you will have to play an important role, otherwise you will
Don’t blame me for changing people.”
"I promise, leader, when the Chunyang Palace dares to attack us, I will let them disrupt the rear first."
"That's good. By the way, recently you have to select a group of new people from the sect and train them secretly. My requirement is that these new people must not have any messy relationships. It is best if they are mortals, their parents are dead, and they have no one to rely on.
A young man who does not lose his passion and energy, and is trained to focus on investigating cases and analyzing situations.”
"Master, do you want to..."
"You will know then"
Lin Xiao shook his head and did not immediately explain clearly what he wanted to do, but the matter was important and there would probably be a lot of discussion by then.
Zhou Zhengzhe did not dare to refuse, so he quickly agreed. Lin Xiao chatted with him for a while and then let him leave. Shortly afterwards, Lin Xiao went to Chen Guonan, met Bai Zichen, and inspected the puppet families supported by the five sects.
After decades of development, the strength of the puppet family has increased a lot, but it is still tightly controlled by the five sects. Each family can only control one spiritual mountain at most, so in fact, there are more than ten puppet families supported by Tianyun State.
, but the five sects were pretty good to them. Although they lost their freedom, the rest of them were not less given.
The permanent elite troops of the five sects in the south of Chen State were 4,000, and one sect was 800. However, this was a big burden for the other three sects, so they gradually reduced their manpower. Tiansheng Sect and
Danyang Sect has increased its manpower, and of course, Tiansheng Sect and Danyang Sect have more interests. Just the two Dao Gang monks Bai Zichen and Leng Ning need a subsidy of 100,000 Xuanjing a year.
The strength of the seven alliances has also increased accordingly. Although Tianyun Prefecture provokes some small battles every year, overall, it is still somewhat developed, otherwise they would not be able to persist.
After returning from the south of Chen State, Lin Xiao began to refine the formations, and strengthened and perfected the mountain protection formations in Gongming City and Baiwu Mountain. Among them, the mountain gate did not need Lin Xiao's hands, it was blessed by the system, and it was definitely the most powerful.
, the safest formation.
Lin Xiao's formation level has naturally improved a lot compared to forty years ago. Especially during the more than ten years on Fenghuo Island, he spent less than half of his time refining formations, which greatly improved Lin Xiao's level.
, has begun to refine the fourth-level mid-grade formation.
After working hard for a year, Lin Xiao upgraded the formations in the two places and kept some fourth-level formations in the sect's treasure house for future use.
During this year, Lin Xiao also appeared frequently among everyone. To those new disciples, the leader was no longer a legend, but a real person around them.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Xiao convened another sect meeting, and this time the sect meeting had only one theme, which was to establish the Integrity Hall.
"Everyone, by the order of the leader, the sect will set up another Integrity Hall from today on. As the name suggests, the Integrity Hall is the internal affairs hall of the Tiansheng Sect. It specializes in corruption and malfeasance and strengthens the sect's rules. However, it is different from the Law Enforcement Hall.
, the Law Enforcement Hall only cares about the disciples, while the Qinglian Hall is in charge of all personnel affairs of the sect...
The Integrity Hall is headed by Patriarch Li Mingyang, and Elder Zhou Zhengzhe is the deputy head. The remaining members are composed of elite disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall and disciples from various sects. The rules of the Integrity Hall are as follows..."
Zhang Mingtang presided over the meeting and explained the rules of the Integrity Hall one by one. The Law Enforcement Hall investigates whether disciples have violated the rules, but it rarely includes matters related to integrity.
The Integrity and Integrity Hall is dedicated to investigating this matter. This was established by Lin Xiao based on the model of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in a certain place in the previous life. The Integrity and Integrity Hall is directly under the jurisdiction of the head and has the right to investigate anyone below the head, including Zhang Mingtang, the general affairs hall.
The elder of the seat.
However, the Qing Lian Hall only has the power to investigate, but not to dispose. After investigating someone, the evidence must be handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall and the General Affairs Hall for joint trial, and they will handle it according to the rules. This is Lin Xiao's decentralization and centralization measures.
Having been in charge for hundreds of years, this kind of power control has been mastered.
Many people can see clearly that Qingliantang is here for the families that have been formed in the sect. The first one to bear the brunt is the Bai family. The Bai family is now the largest family in the Tiansheng Sect. There are three people in Daogang and several people in Zifu.
, and hold high positions, and the people of the Bai family who migrated back in the past have also grown very quickly. The mortal population already has thousands of people, and there are also twenty or thirty entry-level monks.
In addition to the Bai family, there are also some Zifu monks who are married to each other. Through grouping together to keep warm, these people have become quite powerful. Although they have not yet caused great harm to the sect, Lin Xiao has to guard against them.
Lin Xiao was in charge personally, so naturally no one among the senior officials dared to directly object. As for what they thought, Lin Xiao didn't care. He still had the final say in Tiansheng Sect.
········
"Master, I'm here to bother you late at night. I hope you can forgive me."
"Elder Bai is here for the Qing Lian Hall, right?"
"Yes, Master, my Bai family is loyal to the sect..."
"Since you know that you are loyal, what are you afraid of? The Qing Lian Hall only has the power of investigation and no disposal power. The trial must go through the General Affairs Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall. If the Bai family is loyal, there is no need to be afraid."
"Yes, the leader is right, but I thought wrongly."
"Elder Bai has been in the industry for hundreds of years, so I can certainly trust him. Elder Bai didn't come here by himself, right?"
"Head..."
"Elder Bai went back and told the descendants of the Bai family that the sect treats everyone equally. If you want to get benefits, take action and don't think about evil ways."
"Yes, Master"
Bai Chenxi felt a little sad and retreated cowardly. As soon as the Integrity Hall announced the announcement, the Bai family had the biggest reaction, because most of the descendants of the Bai family relied on Bai Xixi and Bai Zichen and got a lot of benefits.
As soon as Bai Chenxi left, Bai Xixi came and Lin Xiao also met her.
"Master, Bai Xixi comes to plead guilty."
"What is the crime of Patriarch Bai?"
"Xixi has used her position in the sect to obtain a lot of benefits for the Bai family disciples. Please punish the master."
"The Law Enforcement Hall has not received any reports, Old Ancestor Bai, don't get me wrong."
"Head..."
"Xixi, you have been with me for almost a hundred years. Don't you know why I did this? I can trust you old people, but the ones I can't trust are the younger generations. They have not experienced the most difficult days of the sect.
, so I don’t know that these good days are hard-won. It is normal for you to support the younger generations. This is human nature. But if they take this kind of thing as a habit, they will take it for granted. Generation after generation, what will happen to the sect?
, you should know”
"Xi Xi understands. After returning, he will ask them to resign and transfer them to other positions."
"Xixi, I heard that people from Baiyu City have contacted you."
"Head..."
Bai Xixi let out a startled sound and looked at Lin Xiao with wide eyes, feeling a little frightened in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, I'll just ask. Bai Chenzhou told me decades ago, and I told them at that time that if you want to leave, I won't stop you, as long as you return the benefits that the sect has given you.
, a Daogang monk, tens of millions of merit points are enough, you can do it in ten years."
"Master, how could you do this? The Bai family has never thought of leaving the Tiansheng Sect. It was the master who took us in and trained us. Without the master and the sect, how could the Bai family be what it is today?"
"Don't get excited, Xixi. I don't mean anything else. I told you that I can trust you old people. It's getting very late. You should go back and rest first."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and asked Bai Xixi to leave. Ye Xiao had already reported to Lin Xiao that the Bai family in Bai Jade City had sent people to contact Bai Xixi and the others and that they lived in Gongming City and had not left.
In the past, when the Bai family was strong, they naturally looked down upon Bai Chenxi's branch of the Bai family, but now the Bai family in Baiyu City is weak, and Bai Xixi is not only a Daogang monk, but also a fourth-level alchemist, so she is extremely precious to them.
Yes, it is definitely worth their efforts to win over.
Lin Xiao indeed trusted Bai Xixi and the others, but Lin Xiao, the descendants of the Bai family, could not trust them. These people had not grown up with the Tiansheng Sect, so it was hard to say how deep their relationship would be.
Moreover, they do not have a lofty vision and cannot see the decline of the Bai family and the potential of the Tiansheng Sect, so it is easy for them to make some stupid choices.
