Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Zheng Jiehuai and Mo Daode looked at each other with suspicion after hearing this. They obviously didn't believe Xun Wenxing's words, and both thought he was deliberately deceiving him before.

Zheng Jiehuai took the lead and said: "Now that Mubei's Xuanmen is about to retreat, and the Mubei Alliance's army will move south soon, there is no reason why Qinghai Xuanmen can survive forever. Why don't you, Taoist friend Xun, bear your anger for a while? By then we can win without a fight. Why bother arguing with them?"

Mo Daode said: "What you said by fellow Taoist Zheng is very much in line with my wishes. We will bear with our anger for a while and wait for the Mubei Alliance to move south and seize all the Xingang territory without a fight. It would be unwise to fight them at this time."

Xun Wenxing said: "I don't know what the two fellow Taoists said, but when that day comes, who can guarantee that the alliance forces in Mubei will divide all Xingang into our three factions!"

"We have no merit, no strength, and no connections. There are also many small forces in the Mubei Alliance. Although Xingang is remote, it is a place to stand. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Why do they treat this area Give the meat to us and not share it with anyone else?”

"If six sects were stationed in a small Xingang, wouldn't it be too crowded? What's more, in the Mubei Alliance, there are not only demon sect forces, but also demon clans, non-monster clans, aristocratic families, and various local factions. If other forces are assigned to Xingang and there is friction in the future, what difference does it make to Xuanmen’s half-share of Xingang?”

"It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Instead of relying on the charity of the Mubei Alliance, we should take the initiative and capture Xuanmen first. According to the regulations of the Mubei Alliance, as long as the territory we occupy ourselves, after joining them, it will still be under our jurisdiction. ”

"If we can firmly grasp the initiative, wouldn't it be much better than just watching their eyes in the future?"

"What the two fellow Taoists said just now is that there is no need to compete with Xuanmen at this time. The other party must have thought the same way. In addition, we and Xuanmen have maintained a relatively peaceful state over the years."

"They never expected that we would suddenly launch an attack. As long as we arrange it properly, we can capture the Qingyang Sect in one fell swoop."

Zheng Jiehuai and Mo Daode remained silent. Capturing the Qingyang Sect was of no benefit to them, so naturally they were unwilling to help.

Xun Wenxing also knew that he would not be able to impress them without enough benefits, so he said: "This matter is also of great benefit to the two Taoist sects. When we capture Qingyang Sect, it will be equivalent to occupying most of Xingang. By then, When the Mubei Alliance goes south, we can propose to them that we continue to govern Xingang. After all, we have achieved some merit by defeating the local Xuanmen."

"Before this, all the cultivation resources under the jurisdiction of Qingyang Sect will be shared by the three of us until we completely occupy Xingang. At that time, we will govern according to our respective territorial boundaries. New Moon Sect will govern the land of Qi State, and Youmei Sect will govern the land of Chu State. ”

"If the Mubei Alliance refuses to hand over the Qianyi Sect and Shuiyun Sect's territories to our jurisdiction, the three of us will already share the resources under the Qingyang Sect together."

"What do you two fellow Taoists think?"

Zheng Jiehuai said thoughtfully: "I need to discuss this matter with several other junior brothers in our sect before making an answer."

Mo Daode said: "Is the informant you installed reliable? It can't be a trap!"

Xun Wenxing said: "I have confirmed his true identity and there will be no mistake."

………………………

After Tang Ning returned to the sect, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, it was time for the sect to discuss matters. Around Chen time, he got up and left the cave. He rose up in the sky and walked for a short time before arriving at the Qianxing Mountain Meeting Hall.

Inside, Zhuang Xingqian and Yin Qingyuan were already seated. Tang Ning walked into the room, nodded to them, and sat down next to Yin Qingyuan.

Zhuang Xingan said: "Junior Brother Tang, there are rumors outside that you were the one who cut the Iron Painted Bones of the Blood and Bone Sect. Is this true?"

As soon as these words came out, Yin Qingyuan also looked at him curiously.

Tang Ning nodded slightly and said in a clear tone, "Yes, Tie Hua Gu and I have a sworn hatred. My parents were both killed by his hands. I didn't know about this until decades ago. At that time, he had already been promoted to the Golden Core. I was just building my foundation, so I had to endure it for many years. I didn't plan to take revenge in such a hurry, but the recent changes in the situation made me determined to give it a try, and luckily I succeeded."

Yin Qingyuan said: "I heard that the new disciple who joined the Zhenfu Department is the one you originally arranged to be with Tie Huagu, and finally lured him out of Ziqing Mountain to ambush him?"

"I arranged for him to join the Blood and Bone Sect, but not with Tie Huagu, just with his disciple."

Zhuang Xinqian said: "It's not easy for just one Qi Refining disciple to trick a Golden Pill elder from the Blood Bone Sect! Junior Brother Tang, can you tell us your entire plan in detail so that we can refer to it one day? Maybe it can be used. To be honest, I don’t know anything about this kind of lurking, instigating rebellion, and assassination methods.”

Tang Ning then recounted the entire incident.

While the three of them were talking, Shi Mingsui sat down outside, taking the first seat on the left. He just listened to the three of them talking without saying a word.

Not long after, Luo Qingshui came in from the outside, sat down at the main seat above, and said, "Everyone is here, let's get started! We will only discuss one thing today."

"I believe you have all heard the news about Mubei. The situation is not optimistic. We must prepare early to avoid being in a hurry and not having enough time to move when the Mubei Alliance moves south."

"There is currently no news about the placement of our Xuanmen in Qinghai, and we don't know what the plans of Daxuanmen and Taixuan Sect in Qingzhou are. We cannot completely rely on them. We must make plans early and formulate a plan to preserve and continue our sect. , all junior brothers, please share your thoughts."

After Luo Qingshui finished speaking, the hall fell into silence for a while. You could hear a pin drop. Everyone frowned slightly or had expressionless faces. No one spoke first.

After a while, Peng Wanli coughed slightly and broke the calm: "I think Taixuanzong and the great Xuanmen in Qingzhou will not completely ignore all the Xuanmen in Qinghai. After all, they are both Xuanmen, and a war is imminent, so they must unite all. We can unite our forces to fight against the Mubei Allied Forces."

"I'm not very worried about this. Those great monks are not so stupid. The biggest problem now is how the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance will arrange and drive us, and the reconstruction of the sect after the war. This is something we must make early plans for. ”

"The best result is of course for us to maintain our own sect structure and be affiliated with the Xuanmen Alliance. After repelling the Mubei Alliance Army, we can return to Xingang or assign us another piece of land, which can give us a foothold. Land to regroup.”

"If our organization is broken up and all the disciples are scattered and belong to different teams, we should also consider how to bring people back together after the war to continue the lifeline of our sect."

Shi Mingsui nodded and said: "Junior Brother Peng's words are reasonable. I think the main thing to consider is the post-war reconstruction issue, and the most important thing is how to bring back the lost disciples. First, there must be someone to ensure the sect's stability." continue."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "What the two junior brothers said is true, but we still have to prepare for the worst possible situation. If the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance has not had time to deploy, the Mubei Alliance army will move southward with overwhelming force. We need to consider the next step. evacuation issue."

"If this happens, a safe route must be set up in advance. In addition, the disciples must arrange for the evacuation in batches. I intend to set up three stations first. The first station will be evacuated to Jining Island, the second station will be evacuated to Yueya Island, and the final station will be evacuated to Jining Island. Evacuate to the interior of Qingzhou, and then evacuate in sequence depending on the situation.”

Peng Wanli said: "It is very dangerous above Qinghai. With the strength of our sect, if most of us evacuate, something might happen. If we encounter a skeleton ship or someone with malicious intentions, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone can evacuate safely. There are three ways to evacuate." Advance along the route and eventually meet up at the destination. In this way, even if something unexpected happens, the entire army will not be wiped out. "

"As for the disciples of the sect, they can also be evacuated in three batches, one after another according to their level of cultivation and outstanding qualifications."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "I agree with Junior Brother Peng, what do you think?"

Everyone nodded and said nothing.

Luo Qingshui said: "In that case, let's follow what Junior Brother Peng wants! This is an emergency plan. I hope it won't be used. Junior Brother Shi, I will trouble you Qingxuan Palace to formulate a complete plan and plan out three routes."

"Divide all disciples into three echelons, based on their level of cultivation, ability, and qualifications. In the event of an emergency, the disciples will be divided into three batches and evacuated according to three directions. The first stop will be rendezvous at Jining Island. "

Shi Mingsui nodded slightly.

Luo Qingshui continued: "If the matter is not so urgent, Qingzhou Xuanmen has already made arrangements to break up the sect's organizational structure and put it under its alliance team. How will we recall the scattered disciples and regroup after the war? What can you guys do well? It is recommended that you just talk about it, one person is short-term and two people are long-term!"

After finishing her words, Tang Ning said, "I don't think we can rely solely on the loyalty of the disciples to the sect. I don't know how long this war will last. By then, the structure of the sects may have undergone earth-shaking changes. Just rely on one or two sentences." Words and predetermined gathering methods will definitely not work. Necessary means must be used.”

Zhuang Xinqian asked: "What are the necessary means that Junior Brother Tang refers to?"

Tang Ning said: "There are two methods, one is coercion, the other is inducement. If you use coercion, you can only put a restraint in their bodies and force them to return to the clan after the war. This is probably not advisable. If the clan is Once the sect structure is disbanded and the disciples belong to the sects under the alliance, there will naturally be monks who can lift their restrictions, but they will gain a bad reputation and cause resentment among the disciples. "

"Therefore, we can only use inducements. I propose that from now on, all disciples' salaries will be halved, and half of the salaries will be withheld and kept in the sect. In this way, each person will be left without salary for three to five years. After the war, he can return to the sect as planned. Gathering them together and distributing them to them can minimize the risk of the surviving disciples being separated after the war."
