Chapter 168 The oriole is behind
The atmosphere became anxious for a moment, and there was a sense of oppression throughout the lobby.
All the elders of the Gongsun family had fierce glints in their eyes, and they were all thinking about killing each other and silencing them as they looked at each other.
The Spiritual Vein Tide is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and even if you are a top sect, you can't encounter it just because you want to.
Although there are only five places, that is because too many people will affect the intersection of earth veins and Qi machines and reduce the breeding output of heaven and earth nectar, so it has to be controlled manually.
The "Nectar of Heaven and Earth" is a gift of heaven and earth that will only grow after the golden elixir period is completed and the broken elixir becomes an infant, and it can be cultivated after the thunder tribulation has passed. It can enhance the monk's spiritual root qualifications and understanding as appropriate.
This kind of precious spiritual liquid is simply rare in the world of cultivation. Very few Yuanying stage monks are willing to give up their own opportunities to save it and exchange it. Therefore, the spiritual pulse tide can bring this kind of additional effect, which can be said to make all the monks in the world of cultivation jealous!
This opportunity is enough to bring five talented young people to the Gongsun family. It is hard to say that these people will have a good chance of Yuanying in the future, but they can be said to have a great chance of condensing golden elixir. This is an opportunity for the Gongsun family to rise in the future.
It is understandable that these clan elders reacted so violently.
But the problem is, if it had been someone else, they would have suppressed it long ago, but Lin Shan is not an ordinary person, he is an envoy of the Demon Sect, and he came here under the order of the high-level United Front Work Department.
There is definitely a record on the demonic side, and something will definitely happen if the person is gone! At that time, not only the recruitment of the King of Discipline Law will be delayed, but also the envoys of the Black Lotus Sect will not be available. The Gongsun family will definitely not be able to survive in circles.
But having said that, they didn't know if anyone else besides Lin Shan knew about the spiritual tide in Gongsun's family. If this kid talks nonsense outside, wouldn't it also bring great disaster to their family?
All the clan elders looked at each other and felt that this matter was extremely difficult. They could not kill him or drive him away.
It seems that we can only sacrifice the small to protect the big
All the clan elders secretly communicated and reached a consensus in an instant.
Steady him first and don't let him talk nonsense.
The second elder Gongsun Liu also participated in the discussion and finally responded on behalf of the Gongsun family:
"Okay. My Gongsun family has agreed to this. There is a quota for Fellow Daoist Lin in the spiritual pulse tide. However, Fellow Daoist Lin needs to swear an oath to his Taoist heart and not to leak any information to the outside world during this period."
Lin Shan also secretly admired that the old fritters in the Gongsun family were indeed not economical, they were decisive in doing things without any sloppiness, and they made decisions so quickly.
He was not ambiguous at the moment and swore an oath as required first, otherwise these people would definitely not trust him.
Next, Lin Shan rubbed his hands in embarrassment and looked at Gongsun Lu with a smile on his face.
The second elder was helpless and secretly cursed the people in the demonic path for being greedy. He waved his hand to a tribesman and gave him a token to say a few words. After a while, the tribesman came back, brought back a bulging storage bag, and then handed back the token.
Lin Shan took the storage bag from the second elder and put his consciousness inside without leaving any trace. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord hanging on his waist also took an itchy look inside.
Fifteen hundred medium-grade spiritual stones, neatly placed together, colorful and colorful.
You must know that the exchange rate of mid-grade and low-grade spiritual stones in the world of cultivation is not static, and occasionally there will be a floating range. The main reason is to look at the control methods used by the top traders in the world of cultivation, which are the same as the financial powers in previous generations that intervened in exchange rates.
For example, if Zixiao Sect, Royal Beast Valley, and Qianyun Pavilion had mastered all the spirit stone veins in the Song Dynasty, then the amount of spirit stones of each grade they mined was equivalent to the amount of various banknotes issued. few.
Sometimes they will secretly dig out less mid-grade spiritual stones this year and acquire more low-grade spiritual stones. After they are circulated, they will first increase the exchange rate in the cultivation world market.
In the coming year, dig more mid-grade spiritual stones and fewer low-grade spiritual stones, and lower the exchange rate again. This self-directed and self-acted film changed hands and instantly harvested the fruits of the labor of countless monks in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world.
It's equivalent to this group of low-level monks not joining the righteous sect and not enjoying the benefits of the sect, but working for other sects in vain! Therefore, in a world where the jungle prevails, there is no justice at all.
Qi Zhong, the true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion who died in Lin Shan's hands before, was right in exposing himself. There are many hypocritical methods of righteousness, and they themselves are all incompetent.
However, generally speaking, no matter how bad the exchange rate between mid-grade spiritual stones and low-grade spiritual stones is, it still floats above 1:100, so the Gongsun family can be said to be full of sincerity this time.
Lin Shan was naturally gentle with others and waved his hand knowingly.
"After this envoy's in-depth on-the-spot investigation, it is found that the Gongsun family is indeed in decline. They want to comply with the order but are unable to do so. They have temporarily postponed it until the future."
He did not say too much. The request for reinforcements was an order issued by the United Front Work Department, and he did not say that he had the right to directly veto it. They just tried their best to help the Gongsun family. The elders of the Gongsun family also nodded and understood the meaning.
Everyone's expressions softened. Being able to avoid fighting on the front lines of good and evil could be regarded as preserving the vitality of the family.
Afterwards, the guests and hosts had a great time, communicating, talking and laughing with each other.
Lin Shan was told by the second elder that three days later he and four members of his clan would be arranged to go deep into the earth's veins and go to the place where the spiritual vein tide comes to wait for the vision.
……
After he stood up and left, the elders of the Gongsun family who had been laughing and chatting in the lobby all stopped their smiles and turned their heads to Gongsun Liu. It was obvious that he was the dominant figure in the family.
The second elder, Gongsun Liu, twirled his beard and sat at the top, meditating quietly, as if he was weighing something.
There was a clan elder below who couldn't hold back his anger anymore and couldn't help but said: "Are we really going to give up the spot in the spiritual tide to that guy from the Demon Sect?"
There was no reason why this clan elder was not in a hurry, because among the five originally designated places, there was a young man in the Foundation Establishment stage who was his nephew. Because compared to all aspects, it is the worst in the same period. If Lin Shan intervenes, there is a high probability that his nephew will be squeezed out.
Gongsun Liu pressed down his empty hand and signaled the clan elder not to be anxious, but suddenly said something behind him without thinking.
"Fairy Qi arrived the day before yesterday and has been watching for a while. I wonder if you have any advice?"
The elders of all the clans looked at each other with confusion on their faces, wondering who the second elder was talking to.
"Wow~"
The curtain at the back of the main hall was lifted, and a woman in a silver robe and bamboo hat came out. She walked up to the top and sat firmly opposite Gongsun Lu, where Lin Shan was sitting just now.
Everyone in the hall looked at her with their eyes, with all kinds of surprises and doubts.
Because the white gauze of the bamboo hat covers the front of this woman's face, it has the effect of hiding her face, and her spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it. I don't know what her expression is at this moment. I can only hear the voice coming from under the bamboo hat, as clear as an oriole:
"Just give him the quota, don't add any extraneous problems."
The clan elders in this situation couldn't sit still. No one knew where the second elder found the outsider. Not only did he eavesdrop on their conversation, but he also learned the big secret of the Gongsun family's spiritual pulse tide, and even made decisions for the Gongsun family without permission.
"Second Elder, who is this person? Why did you let her in?"
"She was hiding in the back hall just now, why couldn't we detect her aura? Did the second elder hide it intentionally?"
"Gongsun Liu, this is an internal matter within the family. What do you mean by bringing in an outsider?"
……
Everyone stood up one after another. If Gongsun Liu didn't give an explanation today, they would definitely not give up. Just now, a great god was finally sent away at a huge cost, and suddenly another insider appeared here. The clan elders were all furious, and their hearts were filled with anger.
"Uncles, don't be impatient, just sit down and sit down"
Gongsun Liu held his forehead, feeling that since he was promoted to the position of second elder, he has simply been worried about the family. These old bones are really practicing in the family every day, and their human ways and sophistication have been erased over the long years. Sluggish.
What's more, they don't ask for any information from the outside world now, they only care about the interests of their own lineage.
Human nature is really selfish. The older you get, the more selfish you become. Even if you abdicate when you are old, I am afraid that will be the same.
"This Fairy Qi is the envoy of Qianyun Pavilion of Zhengdao Sect. She is here to discuss cooperation with our family."
As soon as the words fell, there was a roar.
"What?"
"A man of the right path?"
"You actually collude with the righteous? Are you crazy?"
"Gongsun Liu! Do you know that we are still in the territory of the devil? If you violate the rules openly and secretly, you will only be punished with minor punishments. If you collude with the righteous path, you will be exterminated!"
……
Most of the clan elders screamed angrily, while some experienced ones hurriedly walked outside the main hall door and knocked out the guard who was guarding them. Some clan elders sat there thoughtfully.
Gongsun Liu sighed as he expected. He also knew that most of these old antiques would react violently, but he couldn't make the decision on this kind of thing.
How can he predict where the messenger of righteousness wants to go when his legs are on someone else's body? What's more, since the demon sect's messengers can come to the door, why can't the righteous messengers come to the door?
The demon sect’s messengers and the Gongsun family didn’t dare to touch them, and he didn’t dare to touch the righteous messengers either!
After all, the Song Dynasty has been completely controlled by the righteous way for thousands of years. Even if it has been destroyed by the Demon Tribulation in the past ten years or so, it is still a behemoth. Small and medium-sized forces are still just ants in the eyes of others.
"Fairy Qi, look."
Gongsun Liu looked at the woman in the bamboo hat and told her that if she had anything to say, she could tell the elders in person now. It was not convenient for him to turn his elbows outwards, so he could only serve as a recommendation.
The other party nodded slightly, not in the habit of making polite greetings, and went straight to the point.
"I think you have heard a little bit about the current situation in the Song Dynasty. The three sects of the Demonic Way have declined, and it is inevitable that they will be eliminated. Do you have to be buried with the Demonic Way?"
The cold voice of the woman in a bamboo hat poured cold water on everyone.
At the same time, there is a vague irony that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water: "Even if you confess me now, you still can't prove your innocence. With the suspicious characters of the Nascent Soul Stage True Lords of the Demonic Way, they would rather kill the wrong person than let go. , you will still end up being exterminated”
"If you cooperate with the righteous way, you may destroy your family. If you don't cooperate, you will definitely destroy your family. Choose one!"
All the clan elders were speechless, like ducks being strangled by the neck. They pointed at the woman in the bamboo hat and Gongsun Liu, not knowing what to say.
Gongsun Liu spread his hands with a wry smile.
"Uncles, the devil will be defeated sooner or later, and there will be no eggs in the overturned nest. What's more, I was unprepared for the arrival of Fairy Qi a few days ago. The two golden elixir ancestors in the clan are currently in retreat, and they even put down their minds before the retreat. Leave all important matters to us"
Everyone was silent, with sad faces on their faces. It was obvious that no one wanted to participate in the battle between good and evil, and just wanted to grow. The demon sect's envoy just extended their recruitment order. Are they going to work for the righteous way again?
No matter whether they are the messengers of the Demonic Cult or the messengers of the righteous way, they dare not offend either of them. This is the sadness and difficulty of the forces in the middle.
Upon seeing this, the woman in the bamboo hat dropped another bombshell.
"Why do you need to hesitate? Qianyun Pavilion and Royal Beast Valley will be free immediately. By then Zhengdao will have a double-digit number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and anyone with a discerning eye will surely be able to see the outcome!"
Everyone on the scene was shocked again. Today's news was all shocking and shocked the hearts of the elders of the Gongsun family. If this continues, they will become sick.
"Where are the allies of the Demonic Way? Lin Yuzhai, the great sect of the South China Sea, and the Huangquan Sect of the Great Yan State, haven't they been trying to contain them from both the north and the south?"
"The three demon sects are currently fighting against the Zixiao Sect coalition. Why are the allies retreating?"
"Yes, the Demon Dao can continue to send troops to reinforce the Lu State General Forum, and the outcome is still uncertain"
……
This big news was obviously unbelievable. They couldn't figure out why the two allies of the Demonic Way suddenly withdrew.
The woman in the bamboo hat spoke slowly, with a slight chuckle in her voice.
"If the Demonic Lu State General Altar can continue to send troops, then there is indeed hope. But what if there is a problem on the Lu State General Altar?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience could hear it.
Everyone looked at each other and communicated secretly with their eyes. Unexpectedly, the Zhengdao Sect's hands and eyes could reach the sky, and they could even detect news about the Lu Kingdom that was a million miles away.
After thinking for a moment, I felt that this might not be impossible. If this was the case, then it would make sense for the two allies to want to retreat.
Nowadays, the demonic sects in the Song Dynasty are already at a disadvantage. The forces under their command are seemingly in harmony with each other, but they are separated from Nanhai and Dayan on the battlefield, and they are unable to attack at all. Here, the three sects of the Righteous Way are helping each other, and all the sects and families in the west are working together.
In the long run, if there is no external intervention, the devil's chance of winning is indeed slim.
The woman in the bamboo hat spoke again at this time, and she also saw that the elders of the clan were wavering.
"When I came here, the elders in the sect made a promise that as long as the Gongsun family abandons the dark side and surrenders to the bright side this time, after the righteous coalition forces regain the Song Dynasty, all your past surrenders to the devil will be forgotten, and you will still be the number one family of the Shangdang.
Regarding the spiritual pulse tide, I will also remain tight-lipped. ”
After receiving the personal affirmation from the righteous envoy, everyone's eyes flickered and they all looked at Gongsun Liu, who was at the top of the list.
Gongsun Liu understood, turned around and asked: "Fairy Qi, I wonder what our Gongsun family needs to do in this righteous counterattack?"
The woman in the bamboo hat gently held the tea cup, which still had the warmth left by Lin Shan before: "When the time comes, I, Master Ganyunge Mang, will come in person. You can select two to three hundred trustworthy clan members in advance to help us arrange it. Sexual teleportation array."
