Exhaling a breath, I couldn't help but speed up my body, and I wanted to rush to the mountain all at once - I have traveled far away from the mountain so many times, and I have never been so attached to it, and I have never been so attached to it, so eager to return home.
Grand Master Uncle still looked calm and unhurried, but no matter how fast Liang Qiufeng ran, he could not get rid of him.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and it has entered the jurisdiction of Jianmen. Oncoming is a large area of spiritual fields.
Lingtian was beyond recognition.
I remember when I came down from the mountain, the spiritual fields were flourishing and all kinds of crops were flourishing. Farmers and planters were running back and forth between the fields and ridges, a bustling scene.
But now, there are no people around, and many spiritual fields have been harvested - it is obvious that the harvest has been hasty and it is a mess. Many flowers, fruits, branches and leaves are scattered all over the ground, trampled in the mud, and it is very desolate. As for it has not grown yet
The good crops are also drooping and withering due to lack of care or lack of water or fertilizer.
With the sky cracking and the catastrophe to come, who would still be thinking about farming?
Xiao Jihai had early asked people to harvest all the crops that could be harvested and put them into treasure bags, which could be used as supplies for Jianmen to prepare for emergencies. As for those that have not grown, they should fend for themselves.
The situation was turbulent and unstable, and the peasants were disheartened. Many people ran away and sought refuge with the powerful sects for protection. Anyway, the orders issued by the three giants had been posted everywhere, and almost everyone knew about them.
I believe that before long, Zhongnan Sword Sect will also become a vassal of the major sect forces.
The boss will have to change sooner or later.
Most of the many lower-level sects in the Nanling area have chosen to obey the order and join the Fish Dragon Sect. In their opinion, joining early and joining late are the same. Joining earlier may gain some impression points.
The treatment is different.
Nanling has become very deserted. In the past, sect forces fought fiercely for some border interests, but now the bustle is like withered flowers and no longer exists. There are abandoned spiritual fields and abandoned foundations everywhere.
Liang Qiufeng sighed and hurried up the mountain.
Xiao Jihai's management is very orderly. He does not stop some people who want to leave and lets them go. Those who stay are the hardcore ones.
There are not many people left behind. Many of them are loyal to Liang Qiufeng. They are waiting for the leader to return and give orders before deciding what to do.
From a distance, the sentry post at the foot of the mountain spotted Liang Qiufeng. In an instant, an arrow shot straight into the sky and exploded, creating a signal.
The signal spread instantly, and everyone on the mountain knew: The leader is back!
Whoosh!
One after another, figures swarmed down in a dark mass. Hundreds of people, led by Xiao Jihai and others, gave a warm street welcome to Liang Qiufeng, who had returned from a long journey.
"Little brother!"
Following the cry of excitement, a charming shadow flew down and flew into Liang Qiufeng's arms, hugging her tightly.
She hugged her so tightly, fearing that if she let go, the person she missed day and night would disappear.
"Wow!"
The crowd booed and then clapped wildly, alarming the forest.
Hearing the warm applause, Yaoyao was so thin-skinned that she let go of her hands and hid behind Liang Qiufeng.
"Wow, woo, woo, Qiu Feng, you are finally back, please give me a hug."
What came running this time was a fat body. Zhang Jiangshan was so excited that the fat all over his body was bulging, moving, and flying.
Liang Qiufeng felt a chill and flew up with a kick, as if he was about to kick.
Zhang Jiangshan had anticipated this and stopped in time, laughing.
"The leader is back!"
With loud shouts, the crowd gathered around Liang Qiufeng and went up the mountain.
There were too many people and it was noisy, so it was difficult to talk. I could only exchange a few casual greetings and wait until we got to the meeting hall to talk in detail.
About half an hour later, the responsible personnel of Jianmen gathered in the hall to discuss.
This discussion is serious and solemn, because the content of the discussion is about the future of Jianmen, and it can even be said to be the key to survival.
At the meeting, Liang Qiufeng first briefly introduced his experience. When he talked about the battle of wits and courage with the ancient elders, and the life and death situation, everyone present was sweating. They finally figured out why the leader
People can no longer rush to the royal capital in time to participate in the dynasty elite competition.
But now, those are no longer important.
Next, it was Xiao Jihai's turn to report on the situation inside the door. It was mainly divided into two aspects: resource reserves and personnel strength.
Generally speaking, the development momentum of Jianmen is good and very good. If there is no sign of a sudden crack in the sky, given time, it will definitely not be something in the pool.
But reality is reality, there are no ifs.
No matter how evil the monster grows, it takes time to accumulate. However, time is always something Liang Qiufeng cannot afford. No matter how urgent he is, there is never enough time.
The atmosphere of the discussion began to become heated, and gradually the discussion came to the central topic of accepting the merger, or saying no, the choice of one of the two.
The atmosphere became depressing in vain.
The general trend is overwhelming, but the weak are like eggs. The choice does not seem to be so difficult. After all, deep down in everyone's heart, they don't want to die. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will try their best to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. This is completely instinctive.
However, many times in life, instinct cannot determine everything.
Many people have ideas. While waiting for Liang Qiufeng to come back, many of their ideas were expressed in private. The reason why they have been sticking to Shenbi Peak and waiting for Liang Qiufeng to come back is not to explain to Liang Qiufeng.
own thoughts.
What they want is to wait for the boss to express his ideas and then implement them. It's that simple.
This is not absolute loyalty, but a sincere emotion that has been solidified after countless ups and downs - there are always some people who are willing to do anything with you.
Even if it means dying.
Those whose positions are not firm or have not been tested are not the core of Jianmen, or they have left one after another in the face of the hardships and dangers that Jianmen has endured in the past.
The big waves wash away the sand, just for the sake of brilliance.
Ever since, everyone's eyes were looking at Liang Qiufeng, waiting for him to make a decision.
Liang Qiufeng did not speak in a hurry, but frowned and thought: He understood that his decision was not as simple as saying a few words. Words can determine the life and death of so many people present, so it was really difficult to say it out loud.
If he were alone, he would not hesitate, but now, he is the leader of a sect and controls the fate of hundreds of people in the sect.
He looked at Uncle Taishi.
Uncle Taishi smiled slightly: "I have died many times in my life, but up to now, I am still alive and living well."
Liang Qiufeng understood what he meant, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Jihai.
Xiao Jihai grinned brightly: "When Jianfu was massacred, I was already dead."
The implication is even more straightforward.
Liang Qiufeng sighed. The person he was looking at this time could be said to be an "outsider" - Master Lu.
Master Lu stretched out his fingers to pick his ears out of boredom, and after a while he said slowly and calmly: "I am a weird-tempered person who is not gregarious, so it is very difficult for me to join Shenbi Peak. So, you understand?
"
Of course Liang Qiufeng understood. Because he understood, he was relieved and clapped his hands: "Okay, then it's settled..." He paused and said: "If you want to leave, you can leave immediately. Liang will never blame you."
No one left, and everyone looked relieved: It was difficult before the choice, but when I really had to make a decision, it was so easy, and I felt that there was nothing terrible to worry about. I had experienced the most dangerous situations when I was in the poorest times.
We have all encountered it, and we have come step by step to where we are today. Even if we have to start all over again, what is there to fear?
Only when life and Qi are still there are you truly a human being.
