Chapter 469 Heroes Conference!

Xin Zhen immediately agreed and said, "We can select suitable candidates and train them during this great migration. We can also teach them some low-level skills, such as the Iron Shirt, Taizu Long Fist, and Panlong Staff. They can also practice these skills to become practitioners.

In this way, once the number of people is large enough, not to mention suppressing some ordinary monsters, even some big monsters will have to retreat. When they form an army, even great practitioners will have to avoid their sharp edge. "

Xiao Feng nodded happily and said, "Okay, after this great migration, our Huashan Sect's protective army will be able to set up a framework. It will only take a few years for this army to be formed, and by then our Huashan Sect will have another powerful force."

This is how the matter was decided.

Thus, the Huashan Sect fell into a new round of busyness.

No one knows when the Nether Well will erupt, but the Huashan Sect must make preparations early, including evacuation routes, finding some settlements for the people, storing food, training personnel, preparing various means of transportation, storing medicine, etc.

The thousands of people on the Huashan Sect's mountain plus all the business personnel under the Huashan Sect at the foot of the mountain, nearly ten thousand people, began to prepare for a major disaster.

Although the preparation of 11,000 people is just a drop in the bucket for the tens of millions of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a single spark can start a prairie fire. When a disaster occurs, the existence of such a team can quickly lead ten or a hundred times more people.

Huashan disciples went down the mountain one after another. They were sent to various teams to serve as military support for these teams, and they would soon grow into leaders of these teams.

Tiger Hill.

In recent days, people in Suzhou often see auspicious clouds descending on Tiger Hill or rainbow lights coming from the sky and descending on the mountain. Sometimes, half the sky is filled with dense rainbow lights, which is a spectacular sight.

For a while, there was a lot of speculation in Gusu City. Some people said that the immortals knew that Gusu City was going to be in trouble, so they sent heavenly soldiers and generals to gather on Tiger Hill to prepare to rescue Gusu City.

Some said that those rays of light were all demons and monsters, and that these demons and monsters were gathering together, and when the time was right, they would attack Gusu City together.

Some people even said that the rays of light had nothing to do with Gusu City at all. It was just that an immortal on the sea was holding a birthday party, and many immortals from far away came to congratulate him. The people of Gusu were just being wishful thinking.

The people’s speculations have little to do with the practitioners on Tiger Hill. They don’t know, and even if they knew, they would not care.

Xin Zhen was on Tiger Hill, because Tiger Hill was the venue for the heroic conference to save the people.

Xin Zhen was considered half the master and was invited by the City God to receive the practitioners attending the meeting.

The last time Xin Zhen saw so many practitioners was at the Huajing Dao Lu Si. The practitioners he met this time were actually quite different from those in the Dao Lu Si.

The practitioners from the Dao Lu Si have an official air, while the practitioners who came this time mostly have a rustic air.

The person who followed Xin Zhen to welcome the guests was Wang Chang from the City God Temple. Huo Guang had eight clerks and priests under his command, and Wang Chang was one of them.

Since the City God Temple convenes a heroes' conference, it naturally has to take on the responsibility of hosting the conference.

In addition to Xin Zhen and Wang Chang welcoming the guests, someone had to take care of chores such as food and accommodation, and these things were taken care of by some little kids.

According to Wang Chang, these little ghosts were subdued by the City God Temple on a daily basis. They have good natures and have never done anything harmful to others, so they are taken in by the City God Temple to prevent them from running out and harming people.

These little ghosts look strange in appearance, and there are not many that look normal. However, those who come here are cultivators, so there is no need to be afraid of these little ghosts. On the contrary, these little ghosts are very afraid of cultivators, especially those who practice masculine skills, and they have to stay away from them.

This is quite normal. When Xin Zhen went to Huajing before, he saw a lot of cooperation between humans and demons. He also had demons like Feng Sanniang and Pu Shu around him.

These little ghosts may look a little creepy, but they are very capable in serving people.

There are all kinds of practitioners coming from Tiger Hill. Some are humble, some are indifferent, some are very familiar and enthusiastic, but there are also some who are extremely arrogant and look down on others.

Xin Zhen always greeted everyone with a smile, which was the proper manners for a receptionist. Although some guests were not very respectful, Xin Zhen did get to know quite a few of them.

Moreover, there were even many people who were wanted by the Daoluosi. When Xin Zhen was sorting out the Daoluosi files, he wrote down a lot of information, including criminal cases in various places.

These people have committed many crimes and have been listed as wanted by the Daoluo Division. When the Hua Dynasty was still in existence, such people would never dare to appear so openly, but now they dare to come to this kind of heroic conference in broad daylight.

Xin Zhen is no longer in the Daoluo Division, so naturally he won't meddle in other people's business. Especially now the important matter is to save the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If these people can atone for their sins, there is no need to care about those things anymore.

Most of the people who came a few days ago were independent practitioners in the martial arts world, but in the past two days, some important figures have gradually appeared.

One day, Wang Chang and Xin Zhen were meeting someone. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they asked the little ghost to take the person inside. When they turned around, they heard fairy music floating in the air. Xin Zhen looked far ahead and saw several giant dragons dragging a dragon chariot. Wang Chang was refreshed and strode forward to greet them. He bowed and said in a loud voice: "Wang Chang, a policeman under the command of General Huo, the City God of Pingjiang Prefecture, pays homage to the Cining Arhat of Xuedou Mountain."

At this time, the dragon chariot was getting closer, and Xin Zhen also saw a bald old monk sitting on the chariot. His name was Ci Ning, but he was neither kind nor peaceful. A glance from his eyes revealed an intimidating fierceness.

The old monk just glanced at the two of them, and then went into Tiger Hill on his own. Wang Chang didn't dare to intervene, and even felt relieved.

Xin Zhen waited until the old monk was far away, then asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with this old monk? He doesn't have good intentions."

Wang Chang smiled bitterly and said, "He is not targeting us, he just has this temper. His Dharma name is Ci Ning. Do you know what people in the spiritual world call him?"

Xin Zhen whispered, "The unkind and restless Xuedou Mountain, the angry-eyed Vajra who subdues dragons and tigers, slays demons and monsters, the brainless and unhappy Bodhisattva?"

Wang Chang immediately showed respect to Xin Zhen and said, "You young people really know how to have fun. That's probably what it means."

Xin Zhen laughed in silence. Wang Chang said with a smile: "Although he is arrogant, his strength should not be underestimated. He occupies a position among the five great Buddhist monks, so you can imagine how strong he is."

Xin Zhen nodded. The five holy sites of Buddhism are Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Jiuhua in Anhui and Mount Xuedou in Zhejiang. These five sites support the great reputation of Buddhism and are enough to compete with Taoism. The five great monks are the best among the five holy sites of Buddhism, which shows their strength.

Xin Zhen said, "The Bodhisattva from Mount Putuo should be here too, right?"

Wang Chang nodded and said, "It will come eventually, but I don't know who will come."

Suddenly he turned his head to look at the sky, and heard a Sanskrit sound. Lotus flowers bloomed in the sky, and a Buddha was walking barefoot in the sky. Those lotus flowers were born from his feet.

"Lotus blooms with every step!" Wang Chang whispered, "The Bodhisattva from Mount Putuo has arrived. Judging from his attire, he should be Master Puhui."

As expected, the Buddha came closer. Wang Chang bowed and said in a clear voice, "Under the seat of the City God of Gusu, Wang Chang pays homage to the Bodhisattva Puhui."

The Buddha landed lightly on Tiger Hill barefoot, and a lotus flower immediately grew out of the soil to catch the Buddha. The Buddha smiled, nodded to Wang Chao and Xin Zhen, and said, "Puhui greets the two donors. Puhui learned that the general had sent out invitations to heroes. Although I am not a hero, the city god has summoned me, so I came here to make up the number."

Wang Chang said respectfully, "The Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit has come to visit us, and Tiger Hill is also shining. When the general heard about this, he would also welcome him with open arms."

Pu Hui smiled, then looked towards Tiger Hill. A majestic voice rang out, saying, "Wang Chang, this servant, usually speaks rudely, but today he is right. Bodhisattva Pu Hui, Huo Guang failed to welcome you from afar."

A man in gorgeous clothes fell from the void. Master Puhui said with a smile: "General Huo has summoned me, so there is no reason for Puhui not to go."

The two men smiled at each other, and Huo Guang led Pu Hui into Tiger Hill.

After the two of them left, Wang Chang gently wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Although this Bodhisattva Puhui is approachable, as soon as I get close to him, I feel the heat in my soul and body is unbearable. His cultivation is really like an abyss and an ocean, and it is difficult to guess."

Xin Zhen asked, "Is this Bodhisattva Puhui also one of the Five Holy Monks?"

Wang Chang shook his head and said, "The holy monk of Mount Putuo is Puying Bodhisattva, but some people say that Puhui Bodhisattva's cultivation has long surpassed Puying Bodhisattva. However, these are just hearsay, but it also shows that Puhui Bodhisattva's cultivation is also very high."

Later, someone else came. This time, the person was someone Xin Zhen knew, the one who had interacted with the young Taoist priest from Mount Longhu in Huajing. The four of them came together: Song Shiyi, the eldest brother of the Yanyue Sect, Wei Chaqing of the Yufeng Pavilion, She Ziyi of the Yulu Sect, and Shen Xigu of the Qingyun Sect.

Xin Zhen was not surprised to see them coming, because he had met Wei Chaqing before, and it was normal for Wei Chaqing to come for such a big event.

But these four people were a little surprised to see Xin Zhen welcoming guests on Tiger Hill, especially Wei Chaqing. Wei Chaqing had previously thought that Xin Zhen lived a very miserable life, but he did not expect to see Xin Zhen being the guest welcoming the City God, General Huo. This was a bit beyond his expectation.

Because the status of Gusu City God Huo Guang, General Huo, is quite transcendent. Different from the City Gods in other places, Huo Guang has seniority on the one hand, and the respect he receives is far higher than that of the City Gods in other places on the other hand. Almost all the City Gods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are Huo Guang.

The power of incense gods like Huo Guang all comes from the incense they enjoy. The incense from tens of millions of people in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas makes Huo Guang's strength almost the number one among the incense gods in the world. Even compared with the top practitioners in the world, Huo Guang is not inferior.

Huo Guang's strength and status were such that even a great being like Bodhisattva Puhui had to show respect to him. The fact that Xin Zhen was able to represent Huo Guang in receiving and seeing off guests meant that he was deeply trusted by Huo Guang. That meant that he was not doing well at all, but had clearly made great success!
The other three people must have also heard about this from Wei Chaqing. When they saw Xin Zhen, they looked at Wei Chaqing in surprise, which made Wei Chaqing feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.

However, although Wei Chaqing was dissatisfied, he did not dare to offend him directly. After all, Xin Zhen was the predecessor of the City God Huo Guang. Even if he had played a trick on him before, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.

Xin Zhen knew Wei Chaqing's embarrassment, and quickly explained to the other three people: "Actually, I met Brother Wei before. At that time, I had something to do in that dilapidated temple. Because time was urgent, I didn't explain it clearly to Brother Wei, which led to some misunderstandings from Brother Wei."

Wei Chaqing said quickly: "Brother Xin, I am the happiest that you have become successful. I was thinking of introducing you to a better sect before, even if it would be good to be a guest official. But now it seems that I was blind to recognize the great man, haha!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Zhen sincerely thanked Wei Chaqing and said, "Brother Wei, General Huo and I are just acquaintances.

General Huo was organizing a heroes' conference but was short of manpower. Seeing that I was not lacking in etiquette, he asked me to follow Brother Wang Chang. In fact, I was just helping out.

I have now set up a small sect of my own, called Huashan Sect, which is located in Lingshan. You all should wait until the Heroes Conference is over, and then you must go to Lingshan. I will entertain you well!"

When the four heard this, they immediately lost interest. It turned out to be just a coincidence.

As for founding a sect, it is actually not uncommon in the world of cultivation. Many young people from big sects have lofty ambitions. When they go out into the world, they will also set up their own sect, thinking of making it big and strong, but most of them are just small and unknown sects.

When the young people returned to their sects, these small sects disappeared on their own. In fact, they were just for fun.

The elders in the sect just watched the fun and did not try to stop it. Perhaps they would also remember the ridiculous things they did when they were young.

Thinking about it this way, although Xin Zhen might not be as miserable as before, he is not much better off either.

Thinking of this, they didn't want to talk to Xin Zhen any more. They were all elite disciples of the sect. The sect had expanded rapidly in recent years, and they had also obtained excellent opportunities. They also gradually occupied positions of power in the sect and became small leaders.

Therefore, when you meet an old acquaintance, if your status is similar, you can quickly restore your friendship. But if there is a big difference, you may just exchange pleasantries, and then you will be people from two different worlds.

If Xin Zhen really was a servant of the City God, he would be the bright moon surrounded by stars, but now it is obviously not the case. So in the future, everyone will just nod to him when they meet him, and Xin Zhen won't even be able to get close to them.

Just then someone else arrived, and Wei Chaqing hurriedly said, "Xin Zhen, please go and do your work, we won't disturb you anymore."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, then sent the newcomer in. Wang Chang said with a smile, "Your old acquaintances are quite snobbish."
