"Alright, alright." Zhang Shanzheng immediately picked up his cup and took a sip.
Mmmm…
Immediately, Zhang Shanzheng's eyes widened like copper bells.
The tea was very hot! However, he did not dare to spit it out and could only endure it and drink it.
"Priest Zhang, you don't have to be nervous. I'm just a college student who's about to graduate.”Shen Yan said.
Zhang Shanzheng was stunned at first, but then he revealed an understanding smile.""Immortals have to keep a low profile.”
"You must have misunderstood." Shen Yan chuckled.”
" No..." Zhang Shanzheng immediately changed his words." Yes, yes, I was muddle-headed. What a coincidence. I went down the mountain this time to find scholars to strengthen my Taoist Sect.”
"..." Shen Yan shot a glance at Zhang Shanzheng. He never expected that this old bull's nose would be so thick-skinned.
Her ability to lie through her teeth was really far above his!
What else could he say? He could only stop arguing about his identity and directly discuss the issue of compensation.
"What conditions do you plan to use to invite scholars?”Shen Yan asked.
In the beginning, he was afraid of hurting Zhang Shan's fragile heart. Now, he did not have so many worries.
The strength of Zhang Shan's willpower was far beyond his imagination.
"Naturally, the conditions are sufficient." Zhang Shanzheng stole a glance at Shen Yan and said," For a university student like you, we will agree to any request you make.”
Shen Yan's eyebrows twitched.
This flattery was a little too straightforward.
But it was quite comfortable.
"Promise anything?" Shen Yan stared at Zhang Shanzheng." You even agreed to the position of the substitute heavenly master?”
"Yes, no problem." Zhang Shan stood up straight and said," With a university student like you leading our Celestial Masters Sect, our entire Celestial Masters Sect and Zhengyi will definitely become bigger and stronger, and create another glory!”
Shen Yan waved his hand. He was just saying it casually. In fact, he was not interested in the position of the substitute heavenly master.
The Book of Changes clearly stated that the sixty-four hexagrams were the rest hexagrams.
Due to the great environmental problems at that time, the 63rd generation of heavenly masters ran away, resulting in the Zhengyi Sect not having a legitimate heavenly master.
Zhang Shanzheng was a Celestial Master, but he was not a legitimate one.
Even if he went, he would only be a substitute.
On the surface, the Righteous Sect was the one that unified the world and ruled over all the talisman sects, but in reality, everyone was secretly competing with each other.
This was the same logic as how a concubine insisted on being the head of the household. She could not be controlled at all.
Moreover, Shen Yan was not interested in this kind of power. He only wanted to cultivate the Freedom Immortal.
Seeing Shen Yan wave his hand, Zhang Shanzheng immediately became anxious. If he was not willing to be a Celestial Master, how could he negotiate?
Their Zhengyi Sect did not have anything more valuable than the position of Heavenly Master.
"Mr. Shen." Zhang Shan was using Feifei's name. Shen Yan was unwilling to admit that he was a cultivator, so he could only address her that way.
Shen Yan looked at Zhang Shanzheng, indicating for him to continue.
Zhang Shan took a sip of tea and his expression turned serious.""I came here to apologize. We Zhengyi people have committed crimes outside and offended you. We have discussed this. As long as you are satisfied, we are willing to pay any price.”
"The books in the Righteous Sect's Sutra Depository are still there, right?”Since Zhang Shanzheng had become serious, Shen Yan went straight to the point.
"Yes, they're all here." Zhang Shan did not understand why Shen Yan would ask such a question, but he did not dare to be ambiguous.
"That's good. Do you have an electronic version?”Shen Yan asked.
"Electric, idea version?" Zhang Shanzheng's mouth twitched and he shook his head.
"Arrange some important classic books and send them to me in electronic form," Shen Yan said.”
"Ah?" Zhang Shanzheng was stunned.
What was this?
"Since you're willing to pay any price, then open the entire Sutra Depository to me." Shen Yan said.”
Zhang Shan stared at Shen Yan for a while before saying,""Shen Xian…Mister Shen is indeed a scholar. I will arrange it immediately.”
"Get someone to make a name so that I can choose the books.”Shen Yan said.
"No problem, no problem at all." Zhang Shanzheng said.
Shen Yan nodded and said,"That's enough. You can leave now."”
"Ah?" Zhang Shanzheng was stunned again.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and rubbed his hands.
"Is there anything else?" Shen Yan asked.
Zhang Shan was showing an embarrassed smile.
"Just say it." Shen Yan said.
"It's like this. Most of the Daoists who came to Heluo were sent by us. They have no other intentions except to investigate the stones Yu accumulated.”Zhang Shan wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Five disadvantages and three defects?" Shen Yan replied.
"Those who have yet to enter the path of immortality will all have this kind of flaw. We are the same." Zhang Shanzheng smiled bitterly.
However, we didn't send people to find Yu's stones just for this.
The main reason is the blessing of the Heavenly Official."
Shen Yan was confused.
Wasn't the blessing of the Heavenly Official to protect oneself from disasters such as the five evils and three deficiencies?
Zhang Shan was unprecedentedly serious." A few decades ago, due to environmental reasons, our 63rd generation of Taoist masters fled. Since then, we have not had any Taoist masters.
The people of the Xia Dynasty are very particular about doing things in a proper manner. We are the leaders of the talisman sects. If we don't have a proper name, those who don't know will think that we are very glorious. Many people who know will not recognize us.
We need a status. With a status, we will be the true people of the world!”
"Isn't it the sixty-fourth generation even if you have a title? In the Book of Changes, this is the sign of the end." Shen Yan said.
"This time, the blessing of the Heavenly Official is different. Other than the blessing of the Heavenly Official, Yu the Great's flood control has always existed in myths and legends. The Xia Capital has not been recognized until now. As long as we can confirm the true existence of Yu the Great this time, our Xia Country's culture will have another few thousand years of history.
In this way, our people's hearts will be in line, and our country's fate will be prosperous. We on the big ship of national fate naturally don't have to care about the signs of the end.”Zhang Shanzheng said.
Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat.
As a History major, he knew very well that if Yu the Great's flood-control route was confirmed, and the Xia Capital was confirmed step by step, what kind of status would Xia country have in the world?
An ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years had suddenly transformed into a super ancient civilization with a history of nearly 10,000 years. All the citizens of China would be even more proud of it and would be even more willing to fight for it for their entire lives!
In this way, Xia Country's national fortune would be prosperous and mighty. What could stop it?？？
Shen Yan's expression turned serious. He stared at Zhang Shanzheng and said,""Do you have any information about the stones Yu accumulated?”
"Yes!" Zhang Shanzheng said.
