Chapter 1708 A sudden visitor

Facing Qingmeizi's run on him, Hong Yuanpo had lost all his grace and looked furious.

There was nothing he could do about it. His own strength was limited, and he was not sure about challenging Qing Songzi alone. With the seven-star jujube sword, it would probably be exposed immediately in front of everyone.

Everyone present could not help but show contempt when they saw his current appearance. Most people had begun to shake their heads slightly, thinking that Hong Yuanpo was not qualified to be the abbot of Lu Zuge. In addition, in everyone's opinion, whether it is Qingmeizi in the audience or Xiong Jian on the stage, they should be in one unit, and the person supporting them behind the scenes is Zhang Yu. Today's Taoist conference has another good show.

Lu Zhenren, who was sitting on the stage, shook his head secretly again. This Hong Yuanpo was too useless. After all, he is Qing Songzi's uncle, but he is not even sure of defeating his nephew. No wonder others are dissatisfied.

On the stage, Master Yuan and the other people from the White Eyebrow Palace looked on with cold eyes, watching the excitement. For Baimei Palace, it would be best for Zhang Yu and Lu Zhenren to fight. They could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and maybe they could take advantage of it and get some benefits.

Qingmeizi saw that her uncle was already stern and she couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Uncle, what qualifications do you have to expel me from Luzu Pavilion. On the list of the Taoist Association, the abbot of Luzu Pavilion is Junior Brother Xiong Jianxiong. You, the abbot, have not yet Being recognized by the Taoist Association means that you, the abbot, are not legal. I advise you not to be arrogant now!"

After all, he is Zhenren Zhou's eldest disciple, and his knowledge and conversation are far superior to Xiong Jian's. In fact, if nothing else happens, he should be the one to succeed Master Zhou as the abbot of Lu Zuge in the future.

Because of this, Qingmeizi usually didn't take this uncle who only wanted to flatter him very seriously. Even this uncle had flattered him, the abbot's disciple, before.

Facing Qing Meizi's another confrontation, Hong Yuanpo was already furious and trembling with anger.

However, his strength is limited, and he can't take action directly. In that case, it would be too rude, what if he loses again.

He lacked the talent to stand alone as a general, so he had to look at Master Lu on the stage and said eagerly: "Master Lu, I am the abbot of Lu Zuge who took over yesterday. These juniors used me as an excuse for not registering my name with the Taoist Association. How dare you commit a minor offence? I hope Mr. Lu will make the decision for me and let me register my name first, and then I can clean up the house in a clear and justifiable manner!"

He only had Zhenren Lu in his eyes. After hearing this, Zhenren Lu wanted to slap Hong Yuanpo in the mouth.

The real president, Yuan Zhenren, is sitting here. If you don't put Yuan Zhenren's name on it and come to me directly, wouldn't it be a loss of Yuan Zhenren's face?

Helplessly, Hong Yuanpo was supported by him, and he could never stand idly by in such a severe situation.

Lu Zhenren turned to Zhenren Yuan and said: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, Daoist Hong took over as the abbot at Lu Zuge yesterday. It is already confirmed. I am serious. I should check off Xiong Jian's name on the list of the Taoist Association and replace it with Hong Yuanpo." His name. I don’t know, what does Yuan Zhen want?”

Of course, Master Yuan would not nod in agreement, nor would she shake her head in denial. She deliberately looked at Zhang Yu, who had just stood up, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Yu immediately said: "Master Yuan, Fellow Daoist Lu, and all the fellow Taoists present, the current situation is actually very clear. Fellow Daoist Hong is not qualified to be the abbot at all. Firstly, Fellow Daoist Hong has not taken the responsibility, and secondly, Fellow Daoist Hong has not received The approval of Lu Zuge's main sect is, thirdly, an agreed-upon battle to determine the abbot. Hong Daoyou may be opportunistic and unable to convince the public. In my opinion, if Hong Daoyou wants to convince the public and sit upright as the abbot, he might as well follow Qingmei's example. As Zi said, have an upright fight with Qingsongzi. If you win, your disciples will be convinced. If you can't win, it means that there is something hidden in the previous contest with Qingsongzi and it is not fair enough. I don't know if you are here, What do you think?"

This was what Zhang Yu and Qing Meizi had agreed upon. Xiong Jian was definitely no match for Hong Yuanpo, so Qing Songzi could only fight with Hong Yuanpo.

Zhang Yu said this, among so many people present, there were naturally many who were not afraid of big troubles. Especially the Zhengyi Sect, they hope that the more lively the better.

Someone immediately shouted: "Since it was a battle of wits to determine the abbot, why not have an open and fair contest today!" "Yes, I agree with Daoist Zhang's statement!" "It is fairest to decide the abbot in a public battle!" "Yes, there is. With so many people bearing witness, no one can cheat or cheat!”.

The crowd's shouts made Hong Yuanpo's face turn blue and white.

Master Lu was also in a dilemma, for no other reason than Hong Yuanpo being too useless. This battle of skills must not be carried out, even if it is shameless, you have to let it go.

"Ahem!" Lu Zhenren deliberately coughed loudly, and the audience immediately fell silent. He then said: "The battle of wits has ended. It ended with Fellow Daoist Hong winning, and Fellow Daoist Hong also became the new abbot of Lu Zu Pavilion. If anyone in the disciples is dissatisfied, , there will be a battle of wits. Once this trend starts, Lu Zu Pavilion will be in chaos. Not only Lu Zu Pavilion, but also other Taoist sects. Today the abbot competes with this one, and tomorrow someone will be dissatisfied and compete with that endlessly. Where is the authority of the abbot? Most of you present are abbots and abbots of the same faction, haven't you considered it?"

After saying that, he took the lead and looked at the new abbot of Qiu Zu Temple, Zhuo Daoren.

Zhuo Taoist was supported by Lu Zhenren after the death of Tang Zhenren. Zhuo Taoist saw Lu Zhenren looking over, and he immediately said: "What Lu Zhenzhen said is true. The disciples of Lu Zuge, with their petty crimes, have the authority of the abbot. Since the contest has ended, we should respect the result. How can we not do anything wrong?" Let’s stop fighting. Once this hole is opened, there will be no Taoist chaos in the future!”

"Yes, yes, there must be no more competition. The abbot is the abbot, otherwise, where is the authority!" "That's right, Qingmeizi and others will be kicked out of the door if they commit any offences. How can there be another battle of skills?". Even the various sects of the Zhen Sect are not ashamed of Hong Yuanpo, but Master Lu took the lead, and Taoist Zhuo also said so, so how could the others dare not follow suit.

For a while, everyone had their own reasons, and it was already a stalemate.

At this stall, the door of the conference hall suddenly opened, and a Taoist priest hurried in from outside.

He came to the audience, bowed and saluted, "To inform the abbot, a few foreigners have come with letters of introduction from the sect's administrative office, saying they want to see you!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Master Yuan was stunned and asked curiously: "What do they want from me?"

"I said I'd like to see you in person. I told you that you were holding a Taoist conference, but the visitors said that this would be better," the Taoist priest said.

"This is better." Master Yuan groaned and said, "Since it's better, let them come in. I want to see what happened to these foreigners when they found this place?"
