Chapter 206 Guiding the Maze

Wave after wave of 'surprises' shocked Lu Shengzhong. The Song family was over, and the three sects attached to the Song family also took refuge here. What's more, they didn't expect the Shang Dynasty to rise so fast, and they already occupied Qingshan County?

Detained in a dark place for a long time, although I don't know the passage of time outside, it is not too long to be estimated. How long has there been such a big change?

Although it was a bit unbelievable, he knew in his heart that there was no need for people to fool himself with this kind of thing. Being able to sit down and talk to him was obviously a way to make a difference.

"Is this the city of Qingshan County?" Lu Shengzhong asked.

Niu Youdao nodded and smiled.

Lu Shengzhong was silent. When he was being escorted for transfer on the way, he noticed that he came to a city, which turned out to be Qingshan County.

Lu Shengzhong: "How do I know what Wuliang Mountain is planning?"

After taking a sip of tea, Niu Youdao put down the teacup and pointed to the golden wings in the cage beside him, "The golden wings I bought from you in Canglu County have been reserved for you, why don't you contact Shimen and have a try."

Lu Shengzhong looked back at the Golden Wing, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems that you were thinking about Wuliang Mountain from the very beginning."

He guessed right, Niu Youdao was indeed planning Wuliang Mountain at the beginning, Wuliang Mountain was Niu Youdao's so-called 'gift' to Shang Dynasty Zong, but the situation has changed, and the plan has to be changed accordingly.

Niu Youdao: "It's not about making a decision. What is difficult for others is hard to last for a long time. Mutual benefit is the long-term way."

Lu Shengzhong: "Do you want Wuliang Mountain to take refuge here?"

Niu Youdao didn't follow his words, "Wuliangshan can get to where it is today. I can't compliment the ability of the head of your sect. In fact, I always think that with Brother Lu's ability, he has some talents inside Wuliangshan. He can make greater contributions to Wuliangshan and lead Wuliangshan to go further. If Lu brother can be the head of Wuliangshan, it is not impossible for Wuliangshan to prosper."

Lu Shengzhong sneered, "Are you joking?"

"A joke? It's really not a joke." Niu Youdao shook his head slowly, holding a pot and pouring tea: "Here, there is Tianyumen on the top, Liuxianzong, Fuyunzong, Lingxiu Mountain on the bottom, anyone can easily destroy Wuliang Mountain. As long as Wuliang Mountain comes here, Brother Lu can do whatever he wants to do with Wuliang Mountain. Brother Lu can kill the head of the expensive sect whenever he wants.

What he said was too simple and rude, and it was very explicit and shameless, and Yuan Fang's expression twitched when he heard it.

Lu Shengzhong's pupils shrank suddenly, and the person across from him actually told him about killing the head of his master's sect in front of him, it was simply unreasonable!

Niu Youdao continued to casually say: "Although Brother Lu has been imprisoned for a long time, it may not be a bad thing. There is a saying that all hardships come with rewards. If you can become the leader of your faction after being locked up, I think there are many people in Wuliangshan who are willing to suffer this crime. Of course, the premise is that Brother Lu must find a way to find people from Wuliangshan, and find a way to persuade Wuliangshan to join here. Of course, the more important thing is that Brother Lu has to do things to my satisfaction. As long as I am satisfied, it will not be difficult for Brother Lu to become the leader of Wuliangshan .”

Lu Shengzhong said in a deep voice: "It's a joke! No matter how bad I am, Lu Shengzhong, it is impossible for me to do such a thing as deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors!"

Niu Youdao: "It's a bit too much to say that deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors. No one stipulates who is born to be the head of the sect. Which sect chooses the master not to be a capable person? Wouldn't it be good to replace the more capable person and give Wuliang Mountain a more brilliant prospect to make the ancestors smile in the sky? Those who are incompetent and drag the entire sect for their own selfishness are the real ones.

Lu Shengzhong's cheeks tensed, "If I don't agree, are you going to kill me?"

Niu Youdao: "Twisted melons are not sweet. I don't like to force others to do things they don't want to do. If you don't agree, I will never kill you, and I will let you go."

Lu Shengzhong leaned forward slightly, "Really?"

Niu Youdao: "There will be no fakes! But I am worried about Brother Lu's future. I offended Wang Heng. It is very difficult for Wuliang Mountain to gain a foothold in Yan State! And Brother Lu, the chief culprit, Wang Heng, will naturally not let it go. Similarly, it is also because of Brother Lu's betrayal that Wuliang Mountain fell like this. I can hardly imagine what will happen to Brother Lu when he returns to Wuliang Mountain. Even if there is nothing wrong, can Brother Lu be reused in the school?"

"Of course, Brother Lu may be noble, and it doesn't matter if he can't be reused. Even if he suffers, he can do it himself. The thing of enduring humiliation and stealing life has existed since ancient times, and he is no different from Brother Lu. Or, Brother Lu can go far away and hide his name as a casual cultivator.

Lu Shengzhong was confused by what he said, and his mind was in a mess.

"If you can find another way out for Mount Wuliang, then it will be different. Don't say meritorious service, it's okay to atone for your merits. You can tell Mount Wuliang that you convinced me and take all the credit. If Mount Wuliang comes here, even the court of Yan Kingdom will not dare to act rashly, and Wang Heng will have nothing to do with you."

Speaking of this, Niu Youdao sighed, "Okay, that's all for now, I don't like forcing people, Old Xiong, untie the restraint on him and send him out of the house."

Yuan Fang immediately stepped forward and repeatedly shot Lu Shengzhong, breaking the restraint on him.

Needless to say, Lu Shengzhong is not in the mood to experience this feeling now that his mana has returned to normal, and he feels full of energy.

"Please!" Yuan Fang stretched out his hand to ask Lu Shengzhong to leave.

Lu Shengzhong hesitated to speak, sat there without leaving the intention, turned his eyes from Yuanfang back to Niu Youdao, and finally asked, "You said it yourself, there is Tianyumen here, and there are three sects of Immortal Sect below, why bother to recruit Wuliangshan?"

Niu Youdao waved his hand to signal Yuan Fang to back down, "That's why I said that the ability of the head of your sect is not to be praised. Wuliangshan only has that little strength, and it wants to compete with other sects. What can we use to compete? It can only be suppressed by the powerful and has to hover on the edge. With all due respect, Wuliangshan wants to prosper, but it has not found its position at all."

Lu Shengzhong said, "Wish to hear good advice!"

Niu Youdao: "It's very simple, reposition yourself, don't think about competing with other sects anymore, you don't have the strength to compete with the strong, first give up the plan to compete with the strong, first think about how to give full play to the irreplaceable advantages of others, and wait until you have a firm foothold before seeking other things."

Lu Shengzhong pondered: "Wuliang Mountain doesn't seem to have any irreplaceable advantages."

Niu Youdao: "If you don't have an advantage, you need to create an advantage. It depends on how you define your own role in Wuliangshan, and from which point you start. If you only want to grab territory and expand yourself, you can rely on you? It is neither realistic nor difficult to break through the high wall of interests built by others."

Lu Shengzhong: "Please give me some pointers."

Having said that, Niu Youdao stopped beating around the bush and made it clear, "I need a batch of eyeliner to be spread to important places in various countries, so that I can keep abreast of the situation in various places."

Lu Shengzhong understood what he meant, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "If Wuliangshan doesn't serve as the retinue of any mage here, where will the financial resources come from?"

Niu Youdao: "If you worry too much, you will naturally provide, otherwise you won't be able to keep people's hearts like water!"

Lu Shengzhong pondered for a while, then asked again: "You really want me to be the head of Wuliang Mountain?"

Niu Youdao smiled, knowing that this guy had already made a choice, "I can't guarantee this, and I don't want to make a guarantee. Everything depends on you. If you have the ability to be the leader, I will help you. If you don't have the ability, I can't shoot myself in the foot. It's not good for me to cause chaos in Wuliang Mountain."

"I can only guarantee that I will give you a chance. If you can seize the opportunity, you deserve it. You first finish the matter of Wuliangshan's investment, and then I have other things for you to do. If you finish it, it will be your chance!"

Lu Shengzhong sighed sadly, do he have a choice?

Just as the other party said, even if you let me go back, it may not end well. Even if the teacher doesn't vent her anger on you, don't think about raising your head in the teacher's door in the future.

Escape to do casual practice? It is tantamount to betraying the sect of the teacher. This reputation is shamed by all factions in the world.

Since the left and right end up like that, why not work hard in a better direction?

The other party has already given me a way, and I really can't find a reason to refuse.

He turned his head to look at Jin Chi, "After such a long time, I don't know if this Jin Chi can still contact the people from the master's school."

Niu Youdao smiled and said, "You can try it."

Lu Shengzhong nodded: "If you can't get in touch, I'll go out and find a way to find it."

Niu Youdao tilted his head and said, "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are waiting for you!"

After a while, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone arrived, and Lu Shengzhong took a pen and pondered for a long time before he wrote a secret letter.

After releasing the golden wings to take away the secret letter, Lu Shengzhong looked up to the sky and said nothing.

Niu Youdao, standing on the steps in the pavilion behind him, ordered: "Arrange a room for Brother Lu, don't neglect."

After Yuan Fang took Lu Shengzhong away, Yuan Gang walked up to Niu Youdao and asked, "What needs this Lu Shengzhong to do? Can you rest assured of this kind of person?"

Niu Youdao knew the meaning of what he said, so it was better to let him go if necessary.

"I'm waiting for Shao Pingbo to make a move, and Shao Pingbo is also waiting! In Beizhou, Wei Duo is not suitable for doing shady things, and Wu Sanliang's ability can run errands but not enough to take on heavy responsibilities. Neither of them can pass Shao Pingbo's hands, so I let them keep a distance from Shao Pingbo, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents. You are a person who disdains to do some things, and it is not appropriate to go there. Shao Pingbo just wants to let a ruthless person with means and no bottom line pass by. All suitable!" Niu Youdao said lightly.
