Feng Jiuxiao, Liu Miezhou, and Li Tianjun were walking on the road leading to Tongshan. From time to time, people from the world were walking towards Tongshan.
Everyone looked at each other with eyes full of alertness!
Feng Jiuxiao has discovered many people from the world who appeared at the birthday banquet yesterday, and there are also many strange faces! These new faces can actually go together with many people who want to pay homage to their birthdays. It seems that they must be from the same family.
It seems that they only sent representatives to pay their respects yesterday, while the rest of their colleagues did not show up.
Looking at these people in the rivers and lakes, who were as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river, Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: It seems that most people's birthday wishes are fake, while catching dragons is real!
There are nearly a thousand martial arts masters gathered in the small Tongshan Mountain!
Tongshan is inconspicuous among the rolling mountains. The only thing that stands out is that there is a fairly open space in front of the mine. This is a flat land opened up to facilitate the transportation, transfer, and storage of ore. It occupies an area of
Nearly two hundred acres!
The vastness of the project is breathtaking!
Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: Forcibly razing a hill to the ground, the Zhu family is quite foolish!
There are a lot of ores stored in piles here and there on the flat ground. The piles are of different sizes. There are several giant millstones around them, which seem to be used to crush the ores.
Feng Jiuxiao and three other people were currently watching from the top of the mountain opposite Tongshan.
From a distance, I discovered that there is only one mine in this huge copper mountain!
It seems that the Zhu family would rather ship the ore more slowly to reduce the risk of the copper mine being stolen! For every additional mine, the cost of protection will double! The Zhu family’s strong anti-theft awareness can be seen from the on-site tower defense.
The facilities are evident!
On both sides of the mine, ten arrow towers about five feet high were built along the carriage track!
One every ten feet, twenty in total!
Looking at the size of the towers, each arrow tower can accommodate at least five archers, which means that under normal circumstances there should be at least a hundred archers monitoring the mining site at any time!
Anyone who steals ore wants to transport the ore out of the mine, this is the only exit! Anyone who passes here must pass through the rain of arrows from a hundred archers!
But now there is no archer on the arrow tower. I don’t know if they were removed or they were all killed!
Feng Jiuxiao thought: Considering the importance the Zhu family attaches to Tongshan, it is unlikely that they will withdraw it. It seems that someone came last night!
Could it be that all the archers were really killed? But there were no obvious traces of fighting on the ground.
Furthermore, the key point is that this is the territory of the Zhu family. Where are the people of the Zhu family? Are they hiding in the dark, or are they too scared to show their faces? Or do they simply let it go knowing that these murderous heroes are not interested in the copper mine?
Feng Jiuxiao saw nearly a thousand people from all walks of life gathered in front of the huge cave entrance. All the people from different sects automatically lined up in a row. Each row was of different lengths, and there were a total of eighteen rows! It seemed that at least eighteen gangs had come! But Wumen
The non-sect members of the Jianghu community were scattered around far away to watch the changes!
There is a disciple at the front of each column holding a banner with the six major sects of Huashan, Qingcheng, Diancang, Kongtong and Emei written on them respectively!
There are also twelve small and medium-sized sects and gangs such as the Xihe Sect, the Beggar Clan, the Golden Sword Sect, the Baima Sect, the Tongchuan Sect, the Baji Sect, and the Jiuhua Sect.
Some sects mobilized hundreds of people, with the Qingcheng sect having the largest number, more than 300 people, and the Huashan sect second, with more than 50 people.
Some sects only have a handful of people. The Baji Sect has at least eight people. Li Tianjun specifically looked at the Jiuhua Sect, and damn, there are more than forty people!
People from the Eighteen Sects account for about half of the total number of people.
Feng Jiuxiao actually saw Linghu Jing from the Huashan Sect, and Liu Zhenfeng and others from the Xihe Sect were also among them!
Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: There are a lot of people from big gangs and small sects. I wonder where the people from the Demon Cult are now? If the Demon Cult doesn’t come, people will be ignored.
But I heard Huashan Linghu Jing pointing to a masked man in black beside him and saying: "The cave here is extremely dangerous. I hope everyone can unite and work together! I heard this man say that there were a total of four gangs last night.
Entering the cave one after another, the first gang lost more than 270 people in one fell swoop, and the other three gangs also lost nearly 300 people in total, almost all of them were killed or injured! Judging from the casualties, Tiger Jiao
It is murderous and extremely ferocious. If you enter the cave, you will have a narrow escape! Therefore, I suggest that colleagues below the seventh realm should not go in. Entering is equivalent to death! Experts above the seventh realm can venture into the cave! If you are lucky enough to gain something in the end,
What do you think about distributing the results according to the proportion of the number of people sent by each sect and the actual combat achievements?"
Everyone was unconvinced.
There is some truth to it, but it seems difficult for people to fully accept it.
Those with low martial arts skills will die if they enter the cave. Everyone has reached a consensus on this. If you don't go, you won't go. There is no opinion.
Distributing battle results based on merit sounds fair and reasonable.
However, when combined with the proportion of the number of masters dispatched to the seventh realm or above to distribute the results, there are some differences!
There are so many experts from the six major sects, so of course they have no objections, but the small gangs and small sects have big objections!
Compared with big gangs, small sects can hardly produce any decent masters, and there are almost zero masters above the seventh realm! This means that they don’t even have the chance to participate in sharing the results of the battle!
There is no chance to enter the hole, how to separate the fruits?
And the opinions of those scattered people in the world are not small!
Divide Guoguo according to the number of masters? Damn it! There are nearly 500 people in your 16th sect, and the masters of the Seventh Realm must be at least more than 100! However, the masters of the Seventh Realm of Jianghu Sanren are more than these sects, at least 150 or more.
! Even if I am a master of the Seventh Realm and can go into the cave to hunt and divide the fruits at the end, there will still be nothing left when it is my turn! A hundred kilograms of pork can only be divided into a few taels at most!
So some people from all walks of life spontaneously formed a group and sent people to protest!
They expressed strong opposition!
Faced with the protests from the Jianghu San people, the six sects did not become angry. The scene was very orderly, and there was no chaos as imagined. The Jianghu San people also paid special attention to their words and deeds. Because they still had the courage to raise opinions, and just scolded them directly.
I don’t dare to do it anymore, at least not at this moment! In that case, even if I am lucky enough to be able to run away, wouldn’t it be in vain?
In short, everyone had a dispute over Linghu Jing's proposal.
The Twelve Sects are close to the opinions of the scattered people in the world, and they propose that the division should not be based on the number of masters, but on the basis of sects, and how many shares there are according to how many sects there are. One of the key reasons why small sects are called small sects is that they have few people! Instead of dividing by head,
The small sect will benefit greatly!
Linghu Jing frowned and said: "If it is divided like this, three hundred people from Qingcheng will get one share, and one of you will get one share, do you think it is fair?"
Some people think it is fair, others think it is unfair. For a while, the two groups were in a stalemate.
At this time, someone said angrily: "Then the winner will be determined by fists. Whoever has the stronger fists will have the final say!"
An old man angrily shouted: "Fistes and feet have no eyes! Doesn't this mean everyone is killing each other? Who had the bad idea? Stand up for me!"
silence.
There was a long silence.
No one dared to say anything, for fear that if they spoke out, they would be misunderstood as a bad idea.
Seeing that the situation was in a dead end, Linghu Jing also felt embarrassed. After all, he was too young and lacked prestige, so when he proposed an opinion, half of the people objected. But there were too many monks and too little food. Could it be that he really went the old way of killing each other first?
Whoever can get it?
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound sounded, as if it came from the sky! It was still touching in this silent valley!
Feng Jiuxiao's heart moved and she said to Liu Miezhou: "The people from the Demon Sect are here!"
