Strictly speaking, Ping Zongyue is a supporter of people from all walks of life. She also never expected that the hearts of everyone in her sect would be so unanimous this time!
All of them were actually willing to stay, and no one had any hesitation? !
At this moment, Ping Zongyue looked at the twenty-three people and almost wanted to roar: What do you want to do? If we all stay here, what will happen to our Fengmingmen base camp? Are only a bunch of disciples and ancestors left to sit there in the city of sleepiness, fending for themselves? !
At this time, Elder Liu, the oldest man with wrinkles on his face, spoke tremblingly first: "I am old now, and I probably have a few more days to live. However, my greatest wish in this life has not yet been fulfilled. I have three greatest wishes in my life. One is Then the road will move forward, but we are old and old, so this wish is destined to be hopeless. The second is that we, Fengming, can carry forward the glory; with the concerted efforts of the leader and all of you, our sect will not decline, but the third of the old and old is The high hope is that I can recruit a suitable successor to the mantle. However, the exercises I practice are different. The most important requirement is the disciple's innate physique. It is rare to meet but cannot ask for it. I thought that this wish would be difficult to fulfill. Unexpectedly, today I am here. In the realm of Jiuzun Mansion, just in a blink of an eye, I saw several young people who are very suitable for my unique mentality. God really has mercy on me and allows me to have this opportunity to fulfill my long-cherished wish... The cooperation agenda between our sect and Jiuzun Mansion It has been decided that someone must be stationed here. The old man is the first to sign up here. He must do his best, cultivate with all his heart, and stand up for this last post. In this way, when he goes underground in the future, he can also explain to his ancestors, all fellow disciples. Just don’t argue with me, okay..."
Elder Liu's words were profound and full of desolation, and he was the first to risk his own life. It was enough to shock the scene. If it were a normal situation, his presence would be a foregone conclusion!
But he had just finished speaking. Before he finished speaking, another white-haired Elder Li coughed and said quietly: "Senior Brother Liu is right. We are in our dying years. How can we withstand the long journey and return? After all, we are old and decrepit." I'm not a few years younger than Senior Brother Liu, and I think he's only a few days old... Just stay here and be with Senior Brother Liu. Ahem, even though I'm old, I always have some experience and knowledge, and I'm happy to be here to help. It is our duty and our duty for our sect to make its final contribution!"
At this moment, the two of them were completely different from the red-faced white-haired children they had been when they first arrived. They looked even more aged, their white hair was bleak, and even their eyes seemed to be cloudy...
At the right time, another female elder with a few gray hairs let out a long and desolate sigh: "I am getting older... In the past two years, my body and bones are not as good as before. I just sit down wherever I go and don't want to move... Now I have come to Jiuzun." Mansion, as the sect is cooperating, I will just be lazy and not leave. I will stay here to train a few disciples for the sect... "
This guy might as well not leave!
Gan Tianyan rolled his eyes and said: "All of you brothers and sisters are naturally devoted to our sect. How can I, Gan Tianyan, lag behind others? I am also happy to stay here and contribute to the sect. Besides... this matter is mine. It was proposed, presided over, and the follow-up still requires me to discuss and contact with Master Yun and the peak masters of the Jiuzun Mansion. If no one is missing, I cannot be missing. Let me take a step back and say... Luoluo. My husband’s family is here. The child has been timid since he was a child. He is not used to being away from me... "
Hearing Gan Tianyan's words, all the elders of Fengming Sect looked at him angrily.
You said you made a contribution, which is true and no one would object to it, but what did you say next? Are you timid? May I ask where that girl is so cowardly
If she had been just a little more courageous, she would have probably set Fengmingmen on fire, and it would have to be done more than once... She traveled thousands of miles from south to north to pursue her husband, and she never suffered a single loss... Excuse me, are you there? How can you tell that she is timid
The other female disciples were frightened when they saw poisonous insects. This girl has been playing with poisonous insects since she was three years old... Is this a sign of cowardice
But no matter how indignant everyone was in their hearts, what Gan Tianyan said was reasonable. Whether it was true or not, it was hard for anyone to deny it. Therefore, it was a foregone conclusion that she would stay here.
At this moment, those female elders who deliberately maintain their appearance and figure are a little embarrassed; this is wrong, obviously everyone is about the same age, but now you are all sloppy and deliberately artificial, but you are still... Makes sense
This is not okay, and it is even more wrong!
"Ahem, although my little sister looks young on the face, she is already old at heart. The vast ocean is full of glory, but she knows better that the reason why our sect is so prosperous is precisely because of the several senior brothers and sisters who have contributed to our sect. After putting in countless efforts and hard work, my little sister has always been able to enjoy the fruits of it, and I have long felt guilty and uneasy... This time, my little sister will stay here no matter what, and do her best for the development of the sect. She must cultivate a lot. Only when a few disciples come out can we make up for our past mistakes..."
A young and beautiful female elder spoke with a righteous tone.
"That's right, I have devoted myself to cultivation over the years. Although I have achieved some personal achievements, I have made no contribution to the development of our sect. I feel very ashamed. I hope that the master can give me a chance to stay here and contribute. Don't I dare not say anything, but I still have a say in what happens during my practice..."
"My little sister is ashamed..."
“…”
The twenty-three people spoke to each other, and the meanings in their words were all kinds of strange and wonderful. But overall I still have only one meaning: I want to stay here.
This is true for everyone, no one is exempt!
But after arguing for a while, everyone finally saw Ping Zongyue's gloomy and cold face. They all slowly stopped talking and sat there in silence, not daring to speak anymore.
Ping Zongyue took a deep breath and finally suppressed the overwhelming power that had suddenly risen just now.
I also want to stay here, okay
But now that you have exhausted all the high-sounding reasons, what should I say
What can i say? !
Of course, Ping Zongyue was thinking further about this cooperation with the Jiuzun Mansion at this moment, but on the other hand, she was also thinking about the inheritance issue within Fengming Sect.
The Jiuzun Mansion was relieved and offered quite convenient conditions. Cooperation with each other was already a certainty, and the most difficult problem to solve, the genius disciple, was no longer a problem. But another question came one after another: the successor to the position of head!
The choice of successor to the head of the sect has always been a big issue, and it can be said to be the top priority of the sect!
In a general sense, the person who will succeed the head is selected by the disciples of the head's lineage, and the best are selected; only the best and most popular ones can get this honorary position, and it is rare for anyone to feel dissatisfied or dissatisfied. .
It's because the disciples of the leader's line have always been the most outstanding ones in the entire sect.
In fact, whenever a new disciple is admitted, priority should be given to the selection of the leader.
That is to say, Ping Zongyue's first disciple, Qi Lie, is the number one person below the top of the entire Fengming Sect, and no one is above him!
However, now that there is this opportunity for cooperation, the situation is immediately different. According to common sense, any of the twenty-four Fengming Sect executives present can stay. Only Ping Zongyue, the leader, is inconvenient to stay here to teach. Disciples must return to Fengming Sect to sit in charge and preside over the Central Committee. However, judging from the current qualifications of the disciples of Fengming Sect, they are obviously much inferior to those of Jiuzun Mansion...
So, what will happen when this group of disciples grows up in the future? What will happen? !
Forcing the original disciples of the leader's lineage to continue to take over the power will obviously not convince everyone. But if this were not the case, wouldn’t it mean that the power would be lost
If the sect leader, who had been inherited for more than 20 generations from the time of the ancestor, was really replaced by someone else, Ping Zongyue would not allow it and could not bear it!
Therefore, when she saw her senior brothers and sisters eager to stay one by one, Ping Zongyue couldn't help but feel a kind of confusion and powerlessness that was difficult to dispel.
what to do? What is the right thing to do
"Let's discuss who is going to stay when we get back to the station. Don't argue here and let Master Yun see the joke. What's the point of it?" Ping Zongyue directly stopped her and put an end to the farce in front of her. .
This made Yun Yang, who was watching the show, cough, his face turned serious again, and he sat down majestically.
As Ping Zongyue said this, all the twenty-three masters of Fengming Sect stopped fighting and sat down one by one. Apparently they were aware of what they and others had just done. It was really inappropriate to say...
"Let's first limit the number of people and the teaching time." Ping Zongyue took a breath and suppressed the resentment in her heart.
Yun Yang said: "Master Ping, just speak your mind."
"I think that although the time should not be too short, it should not be too long either." Ping Zongyue said: "What does Master Yun mean? I want to hear Master Yun's opinion first."
Yun Yang pondered and said: "I believe that Master Ping and all the seniors have seen the condition of these disciples. The youngest among them is only about five, six, seven, eight or nine years old; even the older ones are not more than fifteen at most." Six years old.”
"And if you want to train these disciples, even if they are slightly successful, I believe it will be difficult to achieve without ten or eight years of hard work."
When Yun Yang said this, everyone nodded in unison. Everyone present was an expert in cultivation, so naturally they would not have any doubts about this level.
As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.
More than ten years are still too little.
"That's what I think. If we limit the teaching time to three or five years, then our Jiuzun Mansion is taking advantage of everyone and has bad intentions... Because in this short time, it is difficult to complete the teaching, let alone to let everyone know." This disciple’s heart has been touched, and he is willing to follow you..."
When Yun Yang said this, he looked at the people in Fengming Sect.
Twenty-four people once again nodded in agreement.
What Yun Yang said was very reasonable, and he made it clear.
"In this case, how about we set a slightly longer time limit, tentatively ten years?"
Yun Yang looked at Ping Zongyue for advice, and said: "These ten years are enough for a five or six-year-old child to grow into a young man who understands basically everything... Moreover, if I say that I am not afraid of the seniors being angry, , if you are still unable to influence people in ten years, then even if it takes a few more decades, the other party will probably still not leave with you. This is not nice to say, but it is the truth. I hope seniors will consider it."
Everyone nodded, still agreeing that this was true and reasonable.
Ten years later, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy already has a sense of right and wrong to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, and has a personality with independent opinions and thoughts.
If he is still unwilling to follow him at that time, then as Yun Yang said, even if he teaches for another fifty or one hundred years, the relationship between them will still only stay at the stage of forming a good relationship, which is absolutely impossible Even if his original intention is shaken, he is still a member of Jiuzun Mansion!
"Ten years, yes!" Ping Zongyue nodded!
The time was just set.
"Then there's the number of people. I wonder what your seniors' target number is?" Yun Yang said.
When the number of people was mentioned, the eyes of everyone in Fengming Sect widened again.
Teaching to one or two disciples is obviously not the same concept as teaching to one hundred or two hundred disciples!
However, for the people of Fengming Sect, the more people, the better.
Yun Yang said: "Seniors, there is one thing I must say upfront. The number of disciples we are planning to give up is not very large. I hope seniors can be considerate..."
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in Fengming Sect suddenly showed a wave of uncertainty, and they were no longer full of kindness as before.
However, Yun Yang's statement is obviously reasonable and can be understood by anyone.
Although the sect has recruited many talented disciples, it is their own ability, so why should they give up so many? Is it up to you to take it or take it away? It's good enough that you can get a piece of the pie, okay
Ping Zongyue said cautiously: "May I ask how many disciples Master Yun plans to share among us?"
Yun Yang chuckled and said, "Should Master Ping tell me directly what the psychological number of your sect is? There is a rough number. Let's discuss it based on this and adjust it as appropriate."
Ping Zongyue suddenly became entangled.
Tell me the number? How to say this
If you say less, how can you be willing to do so
But if you really talk too much, you will inevitably start to argue with each other, causing gaps in the originally harmonious atmosphere, and... it will also appear to be too greedy, and you will be criticized.
Yun Yang encouraged/convinced with all his heart: "Actually, in my opinion, this head count is just a business. As the saying goes, as the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you will pay back the money. If the head of Ruoran Ping The request is too much and exceeds the psychological bottom line of this house, so I won’t agree to it no matter how hard it is to save my face, right?”
As he spoke, he laughed twice, quite a bit self-deprecating.
Immediately, everyone focused their attention on Ping Zongyue.
Ping Zongyue bit her silver teeth again and again; she took a deep breath, looked at the faces of her fellow disciples with bright eyes, and finally said resolutely: "Master Yun, the fundamental opportunity for our cooperation this time is that your mansion has insufficient teaching staff. , let’s just... how about a 50-50 split?"
When the senior officials of Fengming Sect heard this, they were immediately shaken to the point of falling off their feet.
Master, do you really dare to speak up? People say they are asking for a sky-high price, but you are really asking for a sky-high price? !
Fifty-five!
Master Yun must have gone crazy after hearing this!
Although we want a lot, but... We have never even thought about the plan of opening it 50-50!
Otherwise, if someone else is the leader, I will not be as good as me!
As expected, Yun Yang categorically rejected: "No way, no way! Absolutely no way! There is such a reason. If Head Ping divides it like this, wouldn't it mean that half of the Jiuzun Mansion is divided directly?!"
Ping Zongyue was already prepared for Yun Yang's attitude. She snorted without feeling dissatisfied and said, "Then let Master Yun tell you."
Yun Yang said: "How about a hundred people!"
One asked for 7,000, while the other counter-offered 100. The gap was really... too big!
Everyone suddenly felt toothache again.
This really fits that sentence. Asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the ground, it's a textbook performance!
Both sides are outrageous.
"Six thousand!" Ping Zongyue's bright eyes flashed and she took the initiative to lower the number. However, this number was still outrageous, including everyone in the Fengming Sect who still thought so.
"It's impossible! It's still too much! I'll give in one more step, how about one hundred and fifty!"
"Five thousand!"
"No, no, no, no more than two hundred!"
…
The two leaders began to bargain like street vendors, gradually testing each other's bottom line.
The ideal number in Ping Zongyue's mind is about five hundred people. If we can really recruit five hundred talented disciples from Jiuzun Mansion, it will be an absolute victory for Fengming Sect.
It was based on this mentality that she opened her mouth and asked for seven thousand, an amount that would sound ridiculous to anyone. After that, she was not angry at all at Yun Yang's refusal, because she knew that it was absolutely impossible.
"Three thousand!" Ping Zongyue continued to test.
"The basis of cooperation lies in the sincerity shown by both parties. We can only provide a maximum number of 400 disciples. We really can't have more." Yun Yang gritted his teeth and worked step by step.
"Master Yun, we have shown enough sincerity for this cooperation. With the degree of loyalty of those children to the Jiuzun Mansion, it is very likely that we will end up with nothing, and nothing will be harvested. How can we If we don't cast a wider net, if the number is lower than two thousand, there will be no point in our cooperation." Ping Zongyue used retreat to advance and began to make implicit threats.
Judging from Ping Zongyue's plan alone, there is a high chance that Yun Yang will not give in, or even become angry. However, as long as she retreats and reduces the head count to 800, Yun Yang will save face and his mood will improve. Maybe he would agree, or even if Yun Yang still disagreed, he might as well just let Yun Yang decide with a number.
Anyway, it has reached 400 now, which is very close to my psychological standard!
I believe that the final number of achievements will be higher than this number. Even if it is 400 people, it will be enough!
But as soon as she said these words, Yun Yang frowned and actually fell into deep thought!
The eyes of all the senior officials of Fengming Sect lit up.
This matter... there is a way!
