After Fang Yuan said these words, the atmosphere at the imperial ceremony immediately seemed a little depressing.
To put it bluntly, Fang Yuan was officially conferred the position of divine general. Although it was a big event, how many people really cared about it? After all, it had been decided for a long time that Daozi from the Holy Land had entered the devil's side and was conferred the title of divine general. It was obvious that he would not be conferred today. It has to be sealed, there is nothing interesting to see.
Isn't most people's focus on the dragon soul
So many people rushed over eagerly, just because they wanted to ask Fang Yuan carefully on how to distribute these thirty-six dragon souls on top of this imperial edict ceremony. Those who support it should support it, and those who should not support it. After all, everyone's mutual interests are involved. Of course, we must quickly think of a way to help this Holy Land Taoist dispel this idea...
That's why the brown-robed old man's words attracted so much attention.
Then Fang Yuan's words made everyone in the room stunned...
The brown-robed old man was originally one of the ten great generals of the Devil's Border. He guarded Wangming Pass and had a prominent position. After hearing these words, his expression immediately changed and he said in a deep voice: "What Daozi said, I don’t understand, why do you want to do this?”
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Because after I came to the Demon's Edge, I saw so many Xuanjia who had made great contributions in killing monsters and clearing the Demon's Edge. They were passionate and sacrificed their lives. I really admired them in my heart. , since we have these dragon souls in our hands, how can we not cherish them so much that we are reluctant to take them out? After giving them to them, it is not only a reward, but also an improvement in the strength of the demon side... "
After hearing this, the guard of Wangming Pass snorted coldly and said: "Then why did Daozi say that the dragon soul was only given to the Xuanjia soldiers of humble origins? Didn't the masters of the Shengguan have less meritorious service? Could it be that they have done less? Wouldn't a talented monk who comes from a noble family dare not approach a monster when he encounters one? Daozi's words really chilled the hearts of the demon-bound soldiers!"
These words were already somewhat serious and heartbreaking.
There were also some low-pitched discussions around him at the right time, and countless eyes looked over.
"Yes, we come from a noble family, but our achievements have never been less?"
"To allocate dragon souls, we have already judged them based on merit. Why should we be excluded because of our origins?"
"Isn't it just grandstanding to say that it is only for those who are casual cultivators?"
Countless angry and dissatisfied eyes looked towards Fang Yuan, as if forming an invisible force.
"Aristocratic families also have people who have made meritorious deeds and people who have strong shoulders to shoulder the mission. I have seen quite a few of them!"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said: "It's just that the geniuses of the aristocratic families have more cultivation resources than those who practice black armor, and the possibility of improving their cultivation is also greater. Besides, , I didn’t say that I wouldn’t give it to the genius of the family, but for these thirty-six dragon souls, I feel that the Xuanjia people from poor backgrounds are more suitable, so why don’t we talk about the future matters later?”
"Then who knows when?"
After hearing this, the cultivators around him became dissatisfied again.
Some people thought to themselves: "Although after getting rid of these thirty-six dragon souls, he still has a lot left on him, but how can he guarantee that they will fall into his hands? In any case, only these thirty-six dragon souls are his." If you are sure to take it out, you are most likely to get it..."
"Fang Daozi is so sincere, I admire him!"
But at this time, seeing that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit depressing, an elder from Bahuang City who came to watch the ceremony sighed lowly and said to Fang Yuan: "Actually, I have no opinion on how to distribute the dragon souls. Those who have merit will get it." However, it’s just that Fang Daozi insists on giving Xuanjia to casual cultivators, but I don’t agree with it. The Devil’s Edge is a place where laws and regulations are prohibited. If they all give the dragon soul to them, Xuanjia’s strength will greatly increase, and it may even surpass the first level guard. , strong at the bottom and weak at the top, how can we ensure that these people are willing to be Xuanjia again?"
Upon hearing this, many people nodded secretly.
Although the old cultivator said it very vaguely, in fact, anyone who understands the situation in the Demonic Border has already thought about this problem.
The reason why Xuanjia is Xuanjia is because they don’t have enough background. No matter how high their combat skills are, they can’t put on purple armor and become a first-level guard. There is almost no hope of breaking through the ranks and being promoted to the gods. This is a first-level Something that is universally acknowledged...
If Fang Yuan gave them the dragon soul, the strength of these black armors might even surpass that of purple armors.
When the time comes, will they be willing to continue to listen to the orders of Zijia who is not as good as themselves
This itself is not easy to discuss openly, but it is the simplest and most impossible to ignore issue.
"If they have enough strength and merit, why can't they become purple-armored generals?"
After hearing what he said, Fang Yuan seemed to have been prepared for it. He frowned and said, "When I was in the first level of the Demon Pass just now, Feiyan Pass Divine General Mo Xianzi told me that above the Demon's Edge, no matter how good your military merit is, How is your cultivation? As soon as the Taoist disciple of the family comes, they will give up their position as divine generals. She is quite dissatisfied with this, which makes me speechless, so I also want to ask... "
"Why can the Taoist disciple of the Holy Land directly become the guardian general as soon as he arrives?"
"Why is this Demonic Endless Mysterious Armor, with its illustrious military exploits, destined to only be one Mysterious Armor forever?"
"After all, this is the border of the devil, and it is responsible for guarding the world. Shouldn't the position of a god general be occupied by a capable person?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Feiliu who was next to Bahuang City Lord, and then said: "Shouldn't this demon side rely on strength to gain a foothold?"
"this… "
Hearing the words, the cultivators around him suddenly fell silent.
Everyone had strange looks in their eyes, they didn't expect Fang Yuan to say these words.
This is indeed a recognized phenomenon in Mobian. When ordinary monks come to Mobian and accumulate merits, they can only be promoted from small immortal soldiers to captains and commanders, and then to red armor and black armor. It is absolutely impossible to be promoted to guardian gods. General, even before the arrival of Daozi from the Holy Land, this position of Shenguan was definitely not coveted by ordinary Xuanjia. Most of them were held by the heads of aristocratic families or the great talents of the Great Dao!
As for Fang Yuan's last question, even Mo Feiliu, the goddess general next to Bahuang City Lord, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that what he said casually when he first met Fang Yuan would be said by Fang Yuan in front of other cultivators.
Among the other gods and generals who looked at Fang Yuan, some showed excitement, while others looked confused.
The surroundings had been quiet for an unknown period of time, but suddenly there was a chuckle.
The cultivators looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a round figure and a mustache on his lips. He seemed to be the shopkeeper of a certain business. His cultivation seemed to be very ordinary. At this time, he smiled and said: "What Daozi said is very good, but...have you forgotten that you also came to the devil's side and became the current guardian of the Demon Suppressing Pass because of the name of Daozi of Wangqing Island?"
The surrounding voices suddenly echoed.
There was even a lot of cynicism.
"Yes, what you said just now, aren't you going against yourself?"
"If you weren't Wangqingdao Daozi, how could it be so easy to become one of the top ten generals on the devil's side?"
“…”
“…”
Facing the laughter around him, the smile on Fang Yuan's face dropped and he said, "This is exactly what I wanted to say!"
Looking at the general seal and purple armor that he had never received in front of him, he smiled and said: "I entered the devil's side this time. I had no intention of seizing the title of the guardian general by virtue of my identity as Wangqingdao Daozi. You must rely on your own merits to seize the position of this divine general!"
After saying this, all the cultivators around him frowned.
Someone no longer cared about Fang Yuan's identity and sneered directly: "Is it just based on your formation?"
"Haha, Fang Daozi entered the Demon Border, contributed a lot of resources, and deduced a formation. These are indeed great achievements, but if compared with the Demon Border soldiers, these achievements are not enough to stand out and make you the leader of the town. The guardian of the magic gate, right?"
"If the identity of Wangqingdao Daozi is not considered, Brother Fang Daoist may just be a Xuanjia..."
“…”
“…”
Amid the voices that were either ridiculing or sighing, Fang Yuan remained calm and did not say anything more. Instead, he turned around and bowed to the Lord of Bahuang City, saying: "Senior Ren, I have been to the Devil's Edge for more than half a month. I have been here several times. When I went out to check, I found that the devil's breath is thick, monsters are running rampant, and they are gathering in groups. I wonder why the gods and generals have not sent out troops to clean it up?"
Seeing him suddenly change his subject, the people around him were a little stunned.
The white-robed war immortal frowned and whispered something to Mo Feiliu beside him. Mo Feiliu nodded, looked at Fang Yuan and said: "Master has been troubled by this problem. But the reason is simple and everyone understands it... "
The cultivators nearby had already suppressed their words. After hearing this, they immediately said: "Yes, who doesn't know the reason for eradicating those monsters, and who wants to let them go and eventually become a disaster, but those monsters can't be killed, and they can't be killed." It goes on and on, this wave has been killed, and in a short time, new ones have grown up again, but we have to lose a lot of soldiers' lives, so why bother?"
"Haha, if Fang Daozi is really dedicated to the devil, he should have understood clearly. In today's devil, the dark devil's breath is becoming more and more terrifying. Keep strangers away. We don't even understand how they are distributed. How can we ignore it? Are you going to run around here and there for your life?"
"This problem has been like this for thousands of years, but you are so brazen that you accuse us of not doing our best to control the customs?"
“…”
“…”
Fang Yuan listened to these words and the accusations with hidden anger with a calm expression.
If those people's opposition to him just now was a bit deliberate and staged, and only some of them spoke out, then now it really seemed that everyone was angry. Regardless of whether they supported him or not, their faces looked a little a little bit at this time. Angry.
And Fang Yuan just waited quietly for them to finish speaking, and then whispered: "What if I have a way to get rid of these monsters?"
This was said so suddenly that everyone was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment.
After a while, there was a "boom" and countless eyes looked at his face.
Some were surprised, some were stunned, and some thought it was ridiculous.
The Lord of Bahuang City, who was sitting at the top, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, leaned slightly, and looked at Fang Yuan.
After he appeared, he spoke for the first time, his voice like the grinding of swords: "Seriously?"
Fang Yuan nodded, slowly clasped his hands behind his back, and said: "If I can really help the Ten Great Gods to clear away the demons in the hinterland of the Demonic Border, and even guarantee that they will not appear so rampant again in a short time, then this is Isn’t it a great achievement?”
"Is this great achievement enough for me to take the position of the first level guard?"
"So, starting from me, can there be more people like me who can truly gain a foothold on the devil's side with their own abilities?"
