Chapter 73 Establishing a Sect, Fulfilling My Own Fulfillment
"Only Mother is Good in the World" is a children's song from the late 20th century, a memory for a generation.
He thought he was just an unlucky cultivator who had been captured and brought in for reformation.
It now appears that he was an unfortunate coal miner father who was brought in for reformation.
As the powerful healing light of the Rejuvenation Divine Power shone, the demonized genetically modified creature gradually closed its eyes, and the pain and tearing within its body gradually subsided, no longer causing suffering.
Zhou Zheng lowered his hands and sighed, "I thought the Nine Streams Sect was a group of bad people with principles, but I didn't expect them to have no principles at all and to do things by any means necessary."
If a cultivator is captured and brought in for reformation, it can only be considered bad luck. After all, embarking on the path of cultivation means facing these things from the moment one leaves behind their ordinary identity. But if an ordinary person is captured and brought in for reformation, that has already crossed a line.
Zhou Zheng waved towards the observation room, signaling them to come down.
Soon after, everyone took the elevator down in batches.
The two night watchmen realized something was wrong, and, trembling with fear, followed behind. If they hadn't realized it at first because they'd been misled by the names of the sect's techniques, then if they still didn't understand now, then they were definitely not thinking straight.
The reason is simple: this person is too upright, unlike those from the lowest ranks of society.
Zhou Zheng: "Confess honestly, or I'll kill you and hand you over to Xu Fan for interrogation."
The two night watchmen quickly squatted down and covered their heads with their hands:
"We don't know much. The higher-level staff are in the lounge. The leader went out for drinks and entertainment, and will come over at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Yes, yes, Captain Ding is very strong, he'll go get it!"
The two betrayed Ding Lang at lightning speed.
Zhou Zheng looked at Ding Lang.
Ding Lang hurriedly said, "Sir! I'll do anything! Spare me! I'll do anything! I'll cooperate!"
After seeing the two real-life examples turn into fatal ones, he now understands very well what he should and shouldn't do.
Zhou Zheng withdrew his gaze: "Captain Chu Chen, I'll leave these miscellaneous matters to you. Conduct a thorough investigation of the Nine Streams Sect, turn this place upside down. As for this hospital and the ill-gotten gains of Nie Xin and Tang Shen, don't waste them; use them for infrastructure development and treat the people here well."
Chu Chen politely inquired, "Master Zhou, what title should we use?"
Zhou Zheng: "It doesn't matter what the name is, as long as it doesn't tarnish my reputation afterwards."
Chu Chen: "Definitely, definitely."
Zhou Zheng looked at the demonized genetically modified creature sleeping on the floor, took out his phone to call Zhang Xuanqing, but found that the signal was not working.
Liu Zhen leaned closer to take a look, raised his hand and pointed in the air, causing part of the array on the wall to disappear into the wall.
The signal is at full strength.
Zhou Zheng called Zhang Xuanqing: "Master Zhang, has Master Shiren arrived? Can he perform soul-crossing rituals? I have someone here... someone who needs to be guided. We're on the third basement level. Hmm? You know about him? Then please come down."
In less than three minutes, Zhang Xuanqing, Master Shiren, and three Taoist priests came down in the elevator.
Master Shi Ren is the easiest to recognize; he's the only one who's bald.
Zhang Xuanqing cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhou, do you wish to guide this unfortunate person? Let's leave it to Master Shiren; he is familiar with the subject."
Zhou Zheng performed the Meridian Incantation towards Master Shiren: "Thank you for your hard work, Master. This person is a coal miner from Heshan. I will send you his home address and contact number... You have Juxin, right? That's good. However, his last words need to be relayed to you. The condolence money can be deducted directly from Nie Xin's account. Please contact Xu Fan later; he will inform you."
Master Shi Ren returned the greeting: "Amitabha, Master Zhou is truly compassionate."
Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "If he goes berserk, suppress him with Buddhist teachings. Just play 'Only Mother is Good in the World.' I don't know why he cries when he hears this song, but he won't commit violence when he hears it."
Master Shi Ren bowed again: "Master Zhou has such a compassionate heart, I wonder if you are interested in Buddhism? I think Master Zhou has the qualities of an Arhat."
Zhou Zheng hadn't had a chance to say anything yet.
The four Taoist priests tacitly surrounded Master Shiren. Some rolled up their sleeves, some drew their swords, and some clenched their fists... In just one breath, they formed the Four Symbols Formation.
Liu Zhen made a lightning seal with one hand and looked at Master Shiren with a smile.
A smile can be a sign of politeness, but it can also be a warning.
Master Shi Ren smiled and raised the Buddhist Golden Bell Shield, a large, golden bell was placed on his body: "Why are you all so excited? It all depends on what Benefactor Zhou thinks."
"Smack."
Liu Zhen shattered Master Shi Ren's golden bell shield with a slap, staring at Master Shi Ren menacingly, and gathered lightning in his hands.
Master Shi Ren sighed, turning the prayer beads in his hand: "It seems that Daoist Zhou has no affinity with Buddhism. What a pity."
Liu Zhen said directly, "Bald monk, if you dare to mislead my brother again, I'll turn you into a QR code."
Master Shi Ren: "Amitabha, don't get angry, don't get angry, because if you get sick, no one can take your place."
Liu Zhen snorted coldly and withdrew the lightning, giving him a way out.
Master Shi Ren looked at Zhou Zheng with regret.
Some people are so powerful that you can tell just by looking at them and their appearance that they are destined for greatness.
Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and the foolish Taoist priests beat them to it.
Zhou Zheng: "...Anyway, please leave now, Master Shi Ren."
The rest can be handled by Captain Chu Chen, Master Shi Ren, and Zhang Xuanqing.
Xiaoxue asked curiously, "Brother Zhou, aren't you going to hit that thing on your head anymore?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Master Zhang, could we not wait another day to deal with the resentful demonic energy? I can deal with it tomorrow. I'm a little tired today."
Zhang Xuanqing looked up at the vengeful demonic aura above his head: "Alright, this free time is perfect for us to set up the formation, so as not to disturb the mortal world and harm ordinary people."
Zhou Zheng said no more, bowed and thanked him, then bid farewell and left.
They said goodbye to each other and began to deal with the aftermath.
Zhou Zheng watched the elevator doors open and sighed, "How could the Nine Streams Sect have degenerated to this extent, betraying its original purpose and poisoning ordinary people?"
The former leader of a lowly sect sincerely hoped that the world would become a better place. However, as time went by, everything he left behind became a sharp blade aimed at ordinary people.
Xu Fan: "...Brother Zhou, you mean that was an ordinary person? They have the technology to turn ordinary people into demons at the peak of Qi Refining. Don't be sentimental, think of a solution."
Zhou Zheng: "What countermeasures are you thinking of? This technology is not mature yet. If you go to the second underground level, you will see a bunch of living corpses. About two or three hundred people, which is equivalent to exchanging more than two hundred people with cultivation qualifications for one demonized genetically modified body."
It's less efficient than me directly transferring my energy to Xiaoxue, and far less safe than dual cultivation with her. It's also far less effective than my own cultivation.
Xu Fan listened, stunned: "Then what are the advantages of this technology?"
Zhou Zheng: "They're good for rapid production and easy control of weapons of war. But against true masters, these things are of little use. Their only purpose is to be scattered in different locations to threaten us, or to create war at crucial moments to help monsters escape."
Liu Zhen took out his phone and sent a message: "I will order an investigation into the manufacturing and storage locations of these weapons of war. However, you were a bit reckless, you alerted them a bit."
Zhou Zheng: "I know, and I know that doing this will increase the difficulty later on. But I can't bear to sacrifice anyone. When I get back, I will help them deduce the hiding places of these plans."
Liu Zhen smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, but you need to be more careful next time and not be too reckless. Consider this a practice session."
Zhou Zheng remained silent, understanding that the core problem was his own weakness and the lack of sufficient capable subordinates to handle matters for him. Of course, Lei's Department was a good option, but he couldn't rely on them for everything.
Zhou Zheng suddenly spoke up: "Brother Liu, what do you think about me starting a sect?"
Liu Zhen was taken aback: "Start a sect?"
Zhou Zheng: "Yes, I want to save the world eight thousand years from now, but to achieve this goal, I need to solve the problems in front of me. I need more people to get involved and help me, to help everyone solve these problems."
A question mark slowly appeared above Liu Zhen's head: "The world eight thousand years in the future?"
Zhou Zheng nodded: "Yes, people might thank me for what I'm doing now. But some things I want to do might only be appreciated by people eight thousand years from now. If I'm lucky, people might thank me two thousand years from now."
Liu Zhen's lips twitched: "You mean, you not only have to do your job well now, but you also have to take care of the world eight thousand years from now?"
