Chapter 255: Taking the initiative to ask for help
The next morning.
After a night of traveling, Lin Tianming returned to Qingzhu Mountain smoothly.
At this time, the heavy rain that lasted all night began to clear up, and the clear sunshine shone on the earth again.
In the Qingzhu Mountain Clan, there is a large hall on the mountainside of the main peak. This is the welcoming hall where the family entertains guests.
At this moment, Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua were sitting in a high position in the hall, and Lin Tianming, who had returned to his family overnight, was sitting below them.
Across from him, Li Huafeng and Shen Yu sat side by side, sipping tea and looking at Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua.
Li Huafeng also saw Lin Shikang for the first time, but he had also heard of Lin Shikang's name for a long time. You must know that Lin Shikang's current reputation is well known in the southern region of Wei.
Twenty years ago, the Lin family became famous in a battle, and Lin Shikang was the key to the victory of that battle. Although we don’t know what means he used to kill Jin Zhiying, it is certain that Lin Shikang was at least the founder of Jiu Jiu. level realm.
With such cultivation strength, he is definitely the top powerhouse and a famous existence in the southern region of the Wei Kingdom's immortal world.
Seeing Lin Shikang's calm expression and feeling the slightly powerful aura further confirmed his guess.
“It is definitely at the ninth level of foundation building, and it is even possible that it has reached the great perfection level of foundation building!”
“This Lin family feels a little unsophisticated. It seems that they should be a little more polite. Some, so as not to cause displeasure!" Li Huafeng thought to himself.
After regaining his composure, Li Huafeng looked at Lin Tianming, seemingly a little surprised by his appearance.
Think about it, Lin Tianming originally rejected his invitation to travel with him, but regardless of exhaustion, he rushed back to his family in the rainy night.
Finally, he arrived at Qingzhu Mountain at about the same time as him and had a meeting together.
Obviously, Lin Tianming has a very high status in the Lin family, otherwise he would not pay so much attention to it, let alone appear here.
At this time, Lin Shihua glanced at Li Huafeng and then said: "I am Lin Shihua, who serves as the head of the Lin family. The person next to me is my third brother Lin Shikang. As for the person opposite Daoyou Li, he is My junior Lin Tianming.”
“Haha... Lin Daoyou has already known each other!” Li Huafeng said with a smile.
“Oh? Have you ever interacted with a junior like me, Daoyou Li?”
Lin Shihua was a little confused. Lin Tianming came back in a hurry and had not yet reported to Lin Shikang. Some accidents were normal.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming smiled and explained how they had met by chance before.
"Grandpa Twelve, his grandnephew and fellow Daoist Li met each other at the edge of Jinjiao Mountain. They were still on inspection duty in Fangshi, so they were unable to return home with them."
Hearing this, Lin Shihua nodded and made a surprised expression.
"No wonder...you Daoyou Li and Shen Xianzi suddenly visited the Lin family today, which made the poor family shine."
"Haha..." Li Huafeng said with a smile.
"Clan Leader Lin is too polite. I and my junior sister came to visit the nobles. We really have something important to tell you."
"I think everyone knows something about the beast tide, and I Come, nobles, It is to convey that the sect is recruiting nobles to fight against the attack of the beast tide."
"Recruiting the Lin family?"
The expressions of Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua suddenly changed, as expected.
When the beast tide broke out, there was speculation about this recruitment in several meetings among the family's senior leaders.
I didn’t expect this recruitment to happen so quickly. After all, it has only been more than two months since the beast tide broke out. In such a short period of time, has it already developed to the point where recruitment is needed?
“It’s simply incredible!” Lin Tianming and others couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
After regaining his composure, Lin Shikang asked: "Friend Daoist Li, is it possible that a tide of beasts has attacked your sect? Or does your sect have to temporarily avoid the edge of the monster attack?"
"Yes... wouldn't it be difficult to deal with monsters with your sect's strength?"
Facing the questions from Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua, Li Huafeng waved his hand and explained, fully informing the Zhenyang Sect of the plan, including the number of monks recruited and various reward mechanisms.
After a cup of tea, Lin Tianming and the others learned the reason and process of the recruitment order of the three major sects of Wei State, and then they also fell into thinking.
Obviously, the three major sects of Zhenyang Sect are definitely not unable to resist the beast tide, and the recruitment order is also to reduce their own losses, so as to prevent the sects from being severely damaged after the war.
As for the recruitment rewards, although they are very attractive, at present, the major family forces are not sure that they can protect themselves, so how can they have extra energy to respond to the calls issued by the three major sects.
Although everything in the Lin family is currently normal, and the intensity of monster attacks has also weakened, no one can predict the next trend.
If you respond to the call and send clan members to the front line to fight, the overall strength of the family will have some impact. After all, the cultivation level of the clan members sent must be above the fourth level of foundation building. Apart from Lin Shikang, only Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming meet the requirements.
But if you refuse to respond to the call, you may offend the Zhenyang Sect. Although the Zhenyang Sect is currently unable to take action against the Lin family, if the beast tide attacks, it will definitely target the Lin family.
As for whether the Lin family has a Golden elixir cultivator or not, and the Luoyun Pavilion, a rapidly growing business in Qianchuanfang City, there is really no way to deal with it once it is targeted.
From an all-round perspective, the Lin family’s overall strength and influence are vastly different.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming and the others were in a bit of trouble, and they had no countermeasures for a while.
After a moment of silence, Lin Shikang looked at Li Huafeng, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Li, this matter is of great importance. Can we discuss it and give an answer?" Reply!"
"I'm just conveying the recruitment. If the nobles can't spare their time, there's no need to force their participation," Li Huafeng said.
Hearing this, the expressions of Lin Shikang and the others changed slightly, but they did not show any abnormalities.
Li Huafeng said it in a relaxed manner and did not mean to force him. He said that he could not participate if he could not spare the time. If he really thought so, he would be completely wrong.
The three of them held back their inner thoughts, and Lin Shikang said to Lin Shihua: "Shihua!"
"It is not easy for Li Daoyou and Shen Xianzi to visit Qingzhu Mountain. Please arrange for the two Taoists to rest in the clan. One day, treat me well, just right I want to show my friendship as a landlord."
Hearing this, Li Huafeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking that the name of a disciple of the Zhenyang Sect is really useful. The senior leaders of the Lin family accompanied him throughout the whole process, and they were very polite and did not dare at all. The look of offending him.
Li Huafeng looked at Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua and knew that the Lin family was going to discuss it internally. He had no intention of staying for a long time, and he would not cause displeasure.
In this way, he was very sensible, and then he stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The noble invites you sincerely, so I have to thank a few fellow Taoists." "I and my junior sister happened to be a little tired, so I stayed with the noble for a while. In the evening, I will visit the Sun family in Jiuhua Mountain tomorrow. After the mission of conveying the message between the two of you is over, I will return to the sect to resume my life. "
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Li has been working hard for the realm of immortality in the Kingdom of Wei. He is really a role model for our generation!"
Lin Shihua complimented, then made a gesture of invitation, took Li Xiuyuan out of the hall, and personally Arrange accommodation for the two of them.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Lin Shihua returned, and Lin Shigong also came after receiving the summons. All three generations of the clan were present.
Including Lin Tianming, the four of them sat together and discussed the recruitment matter conveyed by Li Huafeng after repeating the entire incident.
At this moment, everyone present frowned and looked a little solemn.
Lin Shikang sighed, his previous suspicion was completely fulfilled. At this juncture, the three major sects of Wei State issued a recruitment order, which really disrupted the family's deployment.
Lin Shihua also had a gloomy face. He looked at the frowning people and then said, "What do you think of this? Should we respond to the call?"
"Grandpa Twelve , judging from the current situation, it is definitely impossible not to respond. Although it is not forced, is it really the case? ”
"Those are just polite words. If you really refuse to respond, you will definitely anger the Zhenyang Sect. In this case, our Lin family does not have the capital to fight against the Zhenyang Sect." Lin Tianming said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shigong, who was silent on the side, also spoke in agreement.
"Third brother, what Tianming said is right. We can't afford to offend the Zhenyang Sect now. If the accounts are settled in the future, the family and Luoyun Pavilion may be affected."
Hearing from my grandfather and grandson As the two explained, Lin Shikang looked at Lin Shihua, as if they were exchanging opinions.
Lin Shihua nodded and said: "Third brother, even if you don't want to respond to the call, you have to send people to the front line to participate in the war!"
"Tian Ming and others are right. No matter what the reason is, we cannot offend the Zhenyang Sect at present. Not only our Lin family, but hundreds of families in the southern region all follow the Zhenyang Sect."
"There is not enough. Capital, low profile There's nothing wrong with it. At the very least, don't make grudges with the Zhenyang Sect until there are no clan members to attack the Golden Core Stage."
Hearing what several people said one after another, Lin Shikang nodded. How could he not know these obvious aspects. situation.
"Alas...we are the only ones who are not as strong as others!" Lin Shikang said with a sigh.
After finally calming down, Lin Shikang asked: "Since everyone has decided to respond to the call, who will the family send?"
Lin Shikang's words put Lin Shihua and others into a big problem again.
According to the requirements of the recruitment order, currently only three people from the Lin family meet the cultivation requirements: Lin Shikang, Lin Shilu, and Lin Tianming.
Among other tribesmen, Lin Xingyuan, Lin Xingrong and Lin Shihua are all at the third level of foundation building and have not yet reached the minimum cultivation level required for recruitment.
Among the many clan members, Lin Shikang is in charge of the clan, Lin Shilu is in charge of Fangshi, and Lin Tianming also has the task of guarding Jinjiao Mountain.
Under such circumstances, everyone has their own tasks and it is difficult to escape. In addition, there are many crises on the front line. The foundation-building monks are just crucian carp crossing the river. They will fall if they are not careful. I really don’t know. Who should be sent to the front lines to fight in the war?
After being silent for a long time, Lin Shihua said: "Third brother, let me go on the recruitment mission!"
"Shihua... you are still at the third level of foundation building, and you cannot meet the minimum cultivation requirements of the sign!" Lin Shigong reminded.
"Haha..." Lin Shihua chuckled and then explained.
"The family still has two Huntian Pills. If I take them, I can definitely break through the fourth level of foundation building in a short time, which will meet the requirements of the recruitment order."
Hearing this, Lin Shikang's face changed slightly, and he scolded with a straight face:
"No...even if you break through the fourth level of foundation building and go to the battlefield to fight against the beast tide, what's the difference between it and seeking death!
"Yes..." Lin Tianming nodded in agreement.
< br> "Grandpa Twelve, the attack of the beast tide on the main battlefield is completely different from the attack on the family side. The foundation-building monks are nothing to that terrifying meat grinding ground. "
" Tian Ming is right. If there is a battle on the main battlefield, even Jindan Zhenren may fall. The cultivation level of the fourth level of foundation building is only the backbone. "
"And you rely on the Huntian Pill to break through a realm. With this strength, it is too dangerous to go to the main battlefield to fight against the monster army, and the hope of survival is too slim. "Lin Shigong also persuaded.
Hearing the words of persuasion from several tribesmen, Lin Shihua smiled helplessly. This was indeed the case, but since he said this, he had no intention of coming back alive.
It's just to complete the recruitment task and reduce the family's losses as much as possible. Anyway, the family is getting stronger and stronger, and missing him as a foundation-building monk will not have much impact.
Lin Tianming on the side fell silent at this time and was also thinking.
In the current situation, all tribesmen who meet the requirements have missions. If other tribesmen are allowed to participate in the recruitment mission, it will almost be a narrow escape.
He sighed, then stood up and bowed to several elders and said: "Grandpa Three, Grandpa Twelve, let me go on the recruitment mission!"
"You? No!"
Before Lin Shikang could speak, Lin Shihua refused directly, his tone was extremely serious, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming persuaded: "Twelve Grandpa, no one is more suitable for the current situation than me!"
"Third Grandpa wants to guard the family, but also for Grandpa Hai is attacking the Golden Core Protector, and there is absolutely no possibility of going out."
"And Grandpa Fifteen is guarding Luoyunfang City, and he needs to be in charge of the overall situation. As for the importance of Fang City, he cannot escape. , I don’t need to say more!”
"Tianming and Zijindiao join forces, and their strength is almost as strong as that of Fifteenth Grandpa. As for Jinjiao Mountain, if it is really impossible to hold it, the worst is to give up, and we will not lose much."
...
< br>"It seems that it is most appropriate for me to go!"
Lin Tianming explained his advantages in one breath, and even explained various countermeasures to attack the monster and escalate it again. It's quite detailed.
Hearing Lin Tianming’s impeccable words, Lin Shikang and others fell silent, unable to make up their minds for a while.
Seeing the expressions of several people, Lin Tianming continued to persuade: "Third Grandpa, make up your mind. A monk's life is to change his destiny against the will of heaven. In the eyes of others, this is a disaster. In my opinion, this may also be a disaster. Maybe it’s a chance.”
“For the sake of the family and the road to immortality, Tianming is confident that he can return safely and even win the entrance quota to Tianfeng Secret Realm!”
