Huang Tianba didn't even look at this old guy. Maybe this old guy has some connections, but Huang Tianba was trusting him. Besides, he had asked Zhao Gao to help him find him just now, so he waved his hand and said, "I have a good intention, but I have found a suitable person to find me."
"Mr. Huang, please borrow it for five minutes. Can you please give me it? It's not too late to refuse after I finish it." Qingcheng layman jumped in an anxious manner and looked at Huang Tianba and begged.
One of his disciples also stood up and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Huang, we had an unaware of Mount Tai before, offended you, so please don't be as knowledgeable as us. My master wants to invite you to participate in the Wise Society. With your ability, you will definitely win the championship in one fell swoop after going to the Wise Society. At that time, you can still get a generous reward. For example, this ring in your hand, this year's Wise Society reward is also such a ring, and it is also a magic weapon to kill evil. Mr. Huang should be interested."
When he said this, Huang Tianba was shocked, but his face was calm. He raised his hand and shook the Qiankun Ring above, and asked with a smile: "Are you sure?"
The apprentice stared at the Qiankun Ring in Huang Tianba's hand and looked hard, then nodded and affirmed: "It's the same, but the patterns are slightly different and the materials are the same. If you get close to it carefully, you will smell a little strange. You can't tell what it is."
"Yes, that true fire ring is indeed the same as the ring on Mr. Huang's hand. I heard that as long as the true fire ring can be activated with true energy, the Samadhi True Fire that can kill evil and destroy demons can be released from the ring. Who will win the championship this year will have this ring? If Mr. Huang is interested, let's go to the teahouse to chat slowly?" The lay Buddhist Qingcheng also looked at Huang Tianba with anticipation and asked.
Huang Tianba pondered for a moment, then slowly agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you to see you, but don't lie to me, or I'll curse you when I turn around."
Hearing the word "Little Devil", the master and disciple were all trembling in fear, and quickly shook their heads and promised: "I must have not lie to Mr. Huang."
They had seen the power of the little ghost, and they almost killed someone on the spot. If they had been offended by the little ghost, they would probably be uneasy to die.
After agreeing with the master and apprentice, Huang Tianba followed them to a teahouse at the entrance of Xifo Market. After choosing a quiet location, Qingcheng lay Buddhists made an invitation to invite Huang Tianba to take their seats.
His two apprentices stood by like bodyguards, and had no intention of taking a seat at all.
There is no way, there are only so many people sitting in the seat. It would be too rude if they were crowded with Huang Tianba.
After Huang Tianba took his seat, the lay Buddhist Qingcheng dared to sit down. The old man's attitude towards Huang Tianba was turned upside down when he first met before.
After someone gave the most expensive tea, he poured a cup of hot tea for Huang Tianba with a bitter look on his face, and then pushed the fruit and snacks in front of Huang Tianba and said, "Mr. Huang eats it first. It's time for a day to have a good rest."
"Thank you." Huang Tianba was not polite either. He was indeed a little hungry at this moment. He grabbed the snack and started to put it in his mouth. While eating, he received: "I eat mine, you can talk about it first."
"Okay, then I'll start from the beginning?" Qingcheng layman looked at Huang Tianba and asked.
Huang Tianba nodded, and the lay Buddhist Qingcheng began to explain: "This is how strangers are..."
The Yishi Society he mentioned was organized by a total of 68 metaphysical sects in three provinces in central China. The metaphysics here include fortune-telling Feng Shui and exorcising evil spirits, etc., and has been established for 80 years so far.
The Yishi Association holds a competition every ten years, and the content of the competition is to select the strongest sect in the Yishi Association to serve as the president of the Yishi Association, which is the so-called capable person.
And this year, it happens to be the eighth year, and the eighth time the Wise Society competition was held.
The sect where the lay Buddhist Qingcheng is located is called Qingchengmen. Qingchengmen is one of these 68 metaphysical sects, and naturally has the qualifications to participate.
"According to your words, do you hope I will help you win the championship so that your Qingcheng Gate can become the leader of this Yishi Society?" After the Qingcheng lay Buddhists roughly explained, Huang Tianba asked while gnawing on the Hami melon.
The Qingcheng layman was ashamed and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I never thought about becoming a leader or something. I just wanted to make a name for myself or prove the strength of our Qingcheng Gate. We went to the previous two conferences but the crane did not perform well. If this session is still the case, I will be removed from the list."
As a person in the Xuanmen, once he is expelled from the list by a stranger, it is equivalent to losing official recognition. Without this recognition, Qingcheng Gate will be nothing in the Xuanmen. This is the most deadly thing.
Looking back at the time when the Wiseman Association was just held, the ancestor of Qingchengmen, as one of the founders, served as vice president for fifteen years. Now Qingchengmen has been in a down-and-out state, and it can be said that the more miserable it is.
"Are you the leader of Qingcheng Gate?" Huang Tianba asked at the lay Buddhist Qingcheng.
The lay Buddhist Qingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, I have been the leader of the sect for more than 30 years. My original name is Zhou Feicheng and my path is called Sanzun."
"With a sect leader like you, no wonder Qingcheng Gate is doing so miserably." Huang Tianba couldn't help but sarcastically.
This cannot be said to be his sarcasm, but the sect leader of Qingcheng Gate is really useless, and his ability to exorcise evil spirits is simply unsightly. He didn't even see the fact that Zhou Shuyi was possessed by a bracelet, so he decided that the other party was plagued by evil spirits and then tricked the other party into believing in himself, and then used the commonly used anti-evil methods.
If ordinary people are not lucky enough to collide with evil, they can really deal with this little Taoist practice, but when they encounter such a real little devil, their Taoist practice may kill people.
If you are so fucked, how can you teach your disciples? Can a sect not decline?
"Shame, every family has a difficult sutra to recite, and this is also a reason..." Zhou Feicheng sighed with shame. How could he not know his ability? It was because he knew that his ability was not good and he could only know half a bucket of water. He deliberately avoided those troublesome things, but instead told people fortune-telling and exorcising evil spirits to do some small things.
This time, he met the legendary little ghost. This was the first time in decades. If his disciple hadn't helped him with the anti-evil water, he would have probably gone to the King of Hell.
Huang Tianba was too lazy to listen to his explanation so much, and asked, "So what is the situation in your Qingcheng Gate now?"
"The situation is that the old Taoist is responsible for making a living. There are still seven or eight disciples in the Taoist temple, but they only know some small skills, half a bucket of water than me, and they usually receive pilgrims. The old Taoist is responsible for going down the mountain to make money." Zhou Feicheng explained with a wry smile.
