The news of Liang Qiufeng's return generally spread in the mountains. Except for some people outside, as long as they were on the mountain or nearby, after hearing the news, they immediately rushed to the meeting hall.
Wearing an upright green shirt and wearing a long sword, Liang Qiufeng's expression remained the same, his eyes were dark, and he sat there, adding a bit of calmness.
"Qiu Feng, you are finally back."
"I've met the leader."
Different names, the same elation, everyone's face is filled with excitement.
Liang Qiufeng also smiled and exchanged greetings. Nowadays, the people in the hall are basically "old people" who have been through hardships and have deep feelings for each other.
Soon, Liang Qiufeng looked up and saw a beautiful face with a smile, like a graceful and delicate flower.
Yaoyao's appearance has become less clear, but more refined. Due to the growth of her body, she has gradually lost her former youthfulness and exuded an unspeakable charm.
The two looked at each other, smiled warmly, and said nothing.
After the excitement, everyone dispersed, leaving only a few elders in the hall.
Zhang Jiangshan said with a bitter face: "Qiu Feng, you came back just in time. I have a lot of tedious matters on hand, waiting for your decision."
Liang Qiufeng said: "Well, please tell me the development of Jianmen during this period."
So, several elders started to talk about it one after another.
——The recruitment situation of new disciples of Jianmen, how the old disciples are progressing, the area of Shanmen Lingtian being reclaimed, and the main harvest data...
A lot. If it were written as a document, it would probably be piled up with books.
Liang Qiufeng listened slowly without interrupting.
Generally speaking, under their governance, the development of Zhongnan Jianmen was benign and orderly. It was just that the time was still short, so it was impossible for there to be any earth-shaking changes.
So just right.
When a new sect is established, it is necessary to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and to work steadily. Especially in the situation of the Sword Sect, with few people, a weak foundation, and almost no high-level warriors... If you rush forward greedily, it may soon be destroyed.
Liang Qiufeng's original intention of establishing Jianmen was mainly to wait for the arrival of Jianfu and see if he could create a foundation in advance to repay Jianfu's kindness.
Besides, the group of people came to the Shenzhou Continent, a place they were unfamiliar with, and had to find a suitable place to stay in order to survive better.
That’s why Zhongnan Village came into being.
If Jianfu arrives as scheduled, Liang Qiufeng will also persuade the large army to march into Nanling and start from the corner. This is the strategy he made while studying the map of Shenzhou when he was crossing the ocean.
Nanling in the Tang Dynasty was a remote place with no large sects and power, so it was easy to take root and survive. If you had moved to another place, you would have been afraid that someone would come and destroy your name as soon as it was launched.
It was difficult to establish a sect.
What's more, it was founded by deserters? It's even more prejudiced and ostracized.
After many ups and downs along the way, the sect was finally established. I never thought that Jian Mansion would be gone. Without such a backer, everything would have to start from scratch.
Fortunately, I "picked up" King Wu Alchemist for free and was stationed at the mountain gate, thus avoiding many difficult situations. However, it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself for everything. The arrangement should be arranged, the development should be carried out, and the plot should be planned.
After listening, Liang Qiufeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You guys did a good job."
Zhang Jiangshan added: "That's it for the development of Shanmen, but there is a problem at the moment. Regarding the handsome competition, we can't find anyone to participate. It's very shabby and I don't know how many jokes it has caused. Now that you are back, Qiu Feng,
Do you want to participate?”
At the beginning, Liang Qiufeng's whereabouts were unknown, and the manpower on the mountain was in short supply and his cultivation was low. Even if he chose someone to go, he would still be beaten and humiliated in the ring, so he simply put up the exemption card.
Things are different now. When the leader returns, the competition conditions are suitable in all aspects. If Liang Qiufeng goes up, even if he can't reach the end, as long as he can win a few games, things will change.
Liang Qiufeng raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it in progress? Can we add it?"
Zhang Jiangshan coughed dryly: "Although this talent competition requires registration in advance and drawing lots, the government can still place candidates temporarily as long as it is properly managed."
This is what it means to go through the back door.
In the final analysis, such a city-level competition cannot compare to a dynasty-level competition. There are loopholes in the rules, and some behind-the-scenes operations can be carried out.
Of course, if you don't have some real skills, no one will come on stage just for fun.
A competition is a "discussion" on the surface. It only determines the outcome, not life and death. But when the fierce battle reaches the critical moment, who can send and receive freely? If you hit hard even a little, you will either die or be injured.
Death is in vain, and injuries are suffered by oneself, and no one will show mercy.
Liang Qiufeng thought for a while and asked, "How far is the competition now?"
"Ten arenas have been set up in Huaizuo Mansion, and a hundred competitions are held every day. Now the early preliminaries are almost done. In the end, ninety places will be competed for. Plus ten seed players, there will be a hundred people.
The final final.”
The so-called seed Junxiu refers to the top ten people in the previous competition. If someone dies or the conditions are not met, the person ranked next will take over.
The three eldest sons of Huaizuo Mansion are all among them.
There are hundreds of competitions held every day in the preliminary selection, and so far, at least thousands of fights have been fought. It can be seen from this that there are so many young warriors in Huaizuo Mansion. Regardless of their level, this number alone surpasses Huangzhou by several thousand.
It's a street.
The Shenzhou Continent is rich in outstanding people and talents, and its reputation is not in vain.
Zhang Jiangshan added: "You can still sign up and be placed during the pre-selection period. If the pre-selection is over, there will be nothing you can do."
Liang Qiufeng thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Huaizuo Mansion tomorrow and take a look before talking about it."
Not sure whether to participate.
Zhang Jiangshan was startled, then said: "That's good."
Listening to Liang Qiufeng's tone, he had his own considerations.
In fact, as the leader, every move involves the reputation of the sect, so you need to be cautious. If you go on stage and are defeated by an unknown person, wouldn't it be a loss of face?
This is not impossible.
Hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people, there are many martial artists who practice hard. They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, practice hard, and remain unknown on weekdays, just waiting to succeed in their studies, and then go out to participate in some competitions and become famous.
The Divine Continent is different from the Wilderness Continent. Among the many hard-working warriors, there are a large number of Qi Dao level figures, and there are many high-level Qi Dao figures.
And what about Liang Qiufeng?
Zhang Jiangshan asked again: "Qiu Feng, have you gained anything from this experience?"
Liang Qiu Feng's cultivation realm has far surpassed him, and it is difficult to distinguish Liang Qiu Feng's realm with the naked eye. It just feels that the breath is deeper, and it is vaguely like an abyss or a sea. Needless to say, he must have improved.
Liang Qiufeng replied: "The harvest is somewhat..."
He dealt with it vaguely, but did not want to go into details about what he encountered in the secret realm of Baishou, so as not to cause panic. Then he explained that Shanmen should seize the time to expand production, and the harvested spiritual rice and herbs should be stored as much as possible for storage.
Or, if there is cheap spiritual rice on the market, you can also buy it.
This is the harvesting of grain.
Zhang Jiangshan and others were puzzled: the Shenzhou country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the vitality was abundant, so rice was cheap. Warriors who practiced with some conditions would take elixirs directly on weekdays, and did not like the slow recovery of spiritual rice.
The backlog has been accumulated from generation to generation, resulting in the existence of a lot of old rice, so it is quite cheap. Although it is not that no one wants it, it is already very cheap compared to other resources.
Now Liang Qiufeng said that Jianmen wanted to stock up on spiritual rice, but he did not take the usual path.
Liang Qiufeng said: "I have my own reasons, you can just do it. In addition, there is another big thing, I also found out clearly, the Jian Mansion was destroyed by evil people..."
Upon hearing the bad news, Zhang Jiangshan and others all changed their expressions, looking sad and angry.
For them, they have gone to Zhongnan Mountain since childhood and been cultivated and promoted by Jianfu. There is an inseparable emotion. When they heard that Jianfu suffered a misfortune and the entire army was annihilated, they were extremely angry.
Su Xiangyang and Zhang Zhiming looked at each other, dumbfounded: No wonder there was no news from Jianfu after waiting for a long time in Lishi City. They were actually taken away. Even if they wait another hundred years, no one will come.
Everyone cried bitterly and asked in unison who the enemy was.
Liang Qiufeng said solemnly: "The Eternal Divine Religion."
Hearing the name of this behemoth, several people gasped, but they did not have the slightest doubt. There were rumors that the Tiandu Sect was closely related to the Eternal God Religion. Needless to say, there must be some escaped Tiandu Sect remnants behind this incident.
shadow.
Zhang Jiangshan's voice was trembling: "Qiu Feng, is it really true that no one in the sect survives?"
Palace Master Zhang, Elder Xiao, etc., were all outstanding figures at the time, with great talents and great strategies, how could they be killed so easily? Not to mention, there was an uncle of the Grand Master at the level of King Wu in the team.
Liang Qiufeng sighed sadly: "I don't know if anyone has escaped the robbery, so I have to prepare for the worst."
The Eternal God's Cult is a giant in the mainland. If they send out troops, it must be a thunderous strike. How can they let the people of Jianfu escape?
After a pause, Liang Qiufeng continued: "This matter must be suppressed first and not spread to outsiders. This is not a blood feud with Dai Tian. We can only wait for him to make calculations in the future."
The gap between the two sides is like an ant against an elephant. If it is publicized, it will easily spread to the other side's ears and eyes, and people will be sent to eradicate it. Even if Master Lu is in charge, it will be of no avail.
It's just that this information was obtained from Tianbao Trading Company, so it is difficult to ensure that it is not leaked. The good thing is that the Eternal God Sect is far away in Central Continent, so it has the insurance of distance.
"Now that the Jian Mansion has been destroyed, we are the only ones left. The fire has been passed down from generation to generation, and I ask all the senior brothers to work together to prevent it from being cut off."
"Listen to the master's orders."
Led by Zhang Jiangshan, everyone fell to their knees.
Liang Qiufeng originally wanted to change the name from "Zhongnan Sword Gate" to "Zhongnan Sword Mansion", but he thought the time was not ripe, so he might as well put it on hold and make plans later.
That night, after two hours of rest, Liang Qiufeng and a group of fellow disciples gathered in the meeting hall again to discuss various matters.
When the meeting ended, Liang Qiufeng came out and saw Yaoyao standing in the moonlight.
