Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After hearing this, several people were silent and did not express their opinions.

Luo Qingshui glanced at everyone and said, "What do you think?"

Yin Qingyuan muttered: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to withhold salary! This will definitely lead to more resentment and alienate the disciples of the sect. I'm afraid that not only will they not return to the sect as scheduled, but they will become more determined to leave. I I believe that in this time of change and crisis, the most important thing is the people's hearts. Although coercion and inducement can be effective for a short time, if they are used to gather people, they will be divided. "

"Even if we can lure them back to the sect, when the situation in Qinghai changes drastically, how can we ensure that they will not fly away after receiving their salary."

Zhuang Xinqian said: "Senior Brother Yin's words are reasonable. I also feel that relying on the method of withholding salary is not appropriate. Now a big change is coming. If the sect is to be continued, it depends on the concerted efforts of all the disciples, rather than intrigues." ”

"Once the sect is separated, it will be a matter of time before it falls apart. Moreover, reuniting them is only the first step. The subsequent reconstruction of the sect is the most important step. If we only rely on a group of disciples who have gathered together for profit, how can we complete the task of rebuilding the sect? ”

Tang Ning said: "Now we can only take one step at a time. Complete the first step before deciding on the next step. If the disciples cannot be summoned, how can we rebuild the sect? No matter what their purpose is, as long as they come back, they can Find a way to keep it.”

"Relying on the loyalty of the disciples to the sect, it is naturally best to consciously reunite and work together to rebuild the sect, but it is too ideal and unrealistic."

"The reason why this method is used is to bring back those disciples who are wandering on the edge as much as possible. The disciples who really want to leave cannot be pulled back no matter what. If they are truly loyal disciples to the sect, they will not do it for this. After a small test, he became dissatisfied and left the sect."

The hall fell into silence again. Tangning had differences with Yin Qingyuan and Zhuang Xinqian, and each had their own opinions. No one could convince the other for a while. Luo Qingshui said slowly: "Junior Brother Peng, Junior Brother Shi, what do you think?"

Peng Wanli said: "This is also a way. It is better than doing nothing. It can be implemented as a preliminary plan."

Shi Ming Sui said: "This method is a bit extreme and is not a long-term solution."

Luo Qingshui said: "If you have any other suggestions, please share them for discussion. Whether they are feasible or not, good or bad, we can brainstorm."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "I don't think it is necessary to act completely according to the wishes of the Qingzhou Alliance. With the strength of our sect, if we are included in the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance and fight against the Mubei Alliance, whether we maintain the structure and rely on other Xuanmen, or break up If each organization joins the alliance team, there is a risk of annihilation. "

"Facing a war of this level, with the cultivation of a few of us, we may not even be considered low-level cannon fodder, let alone our disciples. From this point of view, it may be more beneficial to disrupt the establishment, and we may be able to survive. Otherwise, they will be sent to the front line as cannon fodder, and the entire army will most likely be annihilated.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were a little solemn. Once the small sect of Qianyi Sect participated in such a war, they would have no right to speak in the Xuanmen Alliance and would only be forced to live.

In order to preserve their strength, those large sects must let the small sects charge into battle and be used as cannon fodder. In the face of such a level of collision, just one cannonball was enough to wipe out the entire Qian Yizong army.

Jiang Yuhuan continued: "If you want to preserve the continuation of the sect, you must try to avoid participating in such a war, at least not all of them."

"I intend to start immediately and select an elite team to leave the sect. When the Mubei Alliance moves south, let this team avoid the war between the two parties and find a place to settle down. When the war is over, we can start again. Gather.”

"With such a team as a guarantee, it is possible to rebuild the sect, at least to avoid the risk of the entire army being destroyed."

Luo Qingshui nodded: "What do you junior fellow apprentices think?"

Peng Wanli was the first to say: "I agree, it is better not to put all your eggs in one basket and to make as many preparations as possible than to leave it to fate and wait for death."

Shi Mingsui said: "Leaving an elite team as the fire of the sect can take the initiative and at least retain a hope. No matter what happens in the future, we will have a basis for advancement and retreat."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Luo Qingshui said: "Since all the junior brothers agree with this proposal, let's implement it immediately! Secretly select an elite team from each palace. If there is a change, they will immediately leave the sect and find a place to stay. Hidden."

Peng Wanli said: "I suggest that this team should not exceed a hundred people. Once the number is too large, it will become a burden. It is neither easy to hide nor easy to move."

Shi Ming Sui said: "Fifteen disciples can be selected from each hall and courtyard, according to the configuration of five foundation-building and ten Qi-refining disciples. These people must be carefully selected, and it is best to have excellent qualifications, loyalty and ability I want to give priority to those disciples who have been monks of the sect for generations. These people have a strong sense of belonging to the sect and can complete the subsequent reconstruction of the sect.”

Tang Ning said: "I propose to bring in some additional disciples with outstanding skills in alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation making. It is not easy to train these people. They cost a lot of financial and material resources. Once they are lost, they cannot be trained overnight."

"Bringing a group of disciples with outstanding skills will help to rebuild the sect in the future. As far as I know, the Chamber of Commerce is actively contacting outstanding disciples who are ready to pry the Xuanmen. Those with outstanding skills will be given priority. Even they value it so much. We have no reason. Just leave it alone."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "In that case, let's add ten more places. Zhuang Xinqian, you select twenty-five disciples from the Internal Affairs Department. There will be no need for the Herbology Department and the Internal Affairs Department. They will all focus on alchemy, weapon techniques, formation flags, Let’s choose from the Fulu Branch! We require disciples with outstanding skills and talents.”

"Each of the other halls will select fifteen disciples. According to what Junior Brother Shi just said, the configuration will be five for foundation building and ten for Qi refining. They are required to have excellent qualifications, be loyal and capable, and give priority to disciples whose ancestors have been monks of the sect for generations. "

Everyone nodded and said hello.

Peng Wanli said: "Just selecting people is not enough. If we want to retain them, we must have corresponding cultivation resources. Otherwise, we must make long-term plans for how these one hundred disciples will be used to practice."

"I don't know when this war will come, and I don't know when it will end. I think we need to prepare at least a hundred years of cultivation resources."

"Among these one hundred disciples, based on the ratio of thirty foundation-building monks and seventy Qi-refining disciples, the financial expenditure for one year is about 500,000 yuan, which is 50 million yuan for one hundred years."

"I intend to allocate a quarter of the financial resources from the sect as special expenses to support their practice. We have 120 million spiritual stones in the Chamber of Commerce's bank, and we can allocate 30 million from inside. "

"In addition, take away a quarter of the elixirs, spiritual weapons, talismans, and formations from the sect's storage hall. Calculated this way, it should barely be enough to support their practice for a hundred years."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "Okay! You, Yuan Yidian, will be responsible for this matter. The situation is critical now. The Mubei Alliance may go south at any time. It is convenient for people, but the sect's assets are not easy to transport away."

"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass should go first. In order to avoid a hasty evacuation, I intend to transport the sect's cultivation resources first. A few days ago, I have contacted the Qingyang Sect's headmaster and the Shuiyun sect's headmaster and made an agreement. A meeting will be held at Qingyang Sect in seven days to discuss the evacuation of the three sects."

"The first step of the plan is to transport the sect's cultivation resources away. This meeting is mainly to discuss this matter. Junior Brother Peng and Tang Ning, you two will go there on behalf of our sect!"

The two nodded and said hello.

Luo Qingshui said: "I hope that today's matters will be kept strictly confidential and not disclosed to the public for the time being, so as not to cause panic among the disciples. If there is nothing else, this discussion will end here! All junior brothers, please go back and prepare."

Everyone stood up and left the hall, turning into light and leaving.

…………………………

At night, Shi Ming followed outside the cave, and a ray of light came to him, revealing the figure of an old man with white beard and hair. He turned over his hand and the talisman disappeared into the room.

Not long after, as the thick fog rolled, a graceful and graceful woman came out, bowed and said, "Uncle, Master, please come in."

The old man nodded slightly, followed her into the inner room, and came to Shi Mingsui's main room, where he saw her sitting at the desk, frowning and meditating.

The old man stepped forward and bowed, turned it over with his left hand, took out an atlas, handed it to him with both hands and said: "Master, the Qinghai topographic atlas you requested has been found."

Shi Ming then took the album, unfolded it on the desk, pondered for a long time, and began to draw three lines.

The old man sketched three routes in front of him, all the way from Xingang through the islands to Jining Island. He was a little confused, but he didn't say much. He saw that he put away the album, and hundreds of disciple files were piled densely on the desk. , and in front of him, a list has been arranged.

The old man couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are these?"

Shi Mingsui said: "There are still candidates for evacuation disciples along the evacuation route."

"The sect has decided to evacuate?" the old man said in surprise after hearing this.

"Evacuation is a matter of time, it's just a matter of early preparation." Shi Mingsui said calmly: "Now Mubei Xuanmen is in danger, we must make plans early. During today's discussion, Jiang Yuhuan proposed to select a group of elites The disciples have left the sect and are far away from the upcoming war. The sect has passed the decision and wants to select fifteen people from each palace to join this team. "

"These people are the hope of rebuilding our sect in the future, Boyu! Do you want to stay or follow the sect?"

The old man said without hesitation: "Wherever the master goes, the disciple will follow."

Shi Mingsui sighed slightly and said: "Yes! At your age, half of your body is buried in the ground, so why bother fighting with a group of young people."

Say it! He crossed out Ma Boyu's name from the list with a pen: "I plan to let Zhang Heng and Yu'er's disciples join this team. What do you think?"
