Following Elder Li's finger, everyone's eyes fell on the map on the table.
It's still the same rugged hillside, almost entirely covered with rocks... Only a few clumps of weeds are scattered between the rocks... The barrenness shows a kind of vicissitudes... I don't know if the map is too big. It's so lifelike that I felt a desolate feeling in my heart when I saw it...
And on the hillside, there is that strange temple... Such a lonely room, just looking at it, actually has a feeling of eternal loneliness.
Beneath the hillside and the ancient temple... there are vast expanses of grassland, but not a single human figure can be seen in the vast expanse.
At this time, Elder Li, who was responsible for introducing wartime matters, was about to say something, but unexpectedly, the old leader suddenly stood up... waved his hand to stop Elder Li, and then he walked gently to Elder Li's side, clinging to his Something was whispered in his ear.
Elder Li's expression changed, and he whispered to the old leader: "About this matter, do we really need to tell him in advance? I'm afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable by then?"
Although the voice was low, everyone still heard Elder Li's words. Could there be something else big enough to unsettle the morale of the army? Therefore, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Elder Li again.
When faced with Elder Li's question, the old leader just said: "Speaking of it, no matter what the situation is... We, the Snow Mountain lineage, are the most powerful forces of righteousness, how can we not be magnanimous?"
After saying this, the old boss didn't say anything more, but came back to sit next to me again. I turned my head and glanced at his side face. He was obviously talking about a very serious matter just now. Why did I look at him? It's still so peaceful when I wake up.
"Okay then." Seeing that the old leader had made up his mind, Elder Li sighed, his face suddenly became serious, and he remained silent for a long time before saying: "The words I just said about quitting are now invalid... . Now, after I have announced this situation... everyone can make a new choice."
After speaking, Elder Li walked to the front of the conference table, then looked at everyone seriously and said: "Everyone knows about Yang Sheng's plan, which is almost a plan that shakes the entire world. As for us cultivators and There is also a rule in the secular world. Although it is not the three iron rules, it is close to an iron rule... that is, the forces of the secular world must not interfere with the grudges in the circle of cultivators, and the people in the circle of cultivators must not interfere with the grudges of the secular world. "
Having said this, Elder Li put one hand on the table, as if this was the only way he could support himself... He sighed and said: "However, everyone is a high-ranking member of the power and has a good status. I know that the reason why this rule is not an iron-clad rule of success is because when flexibility is necessary, the forces of the two parties can intersect with each other... What's more, among the large secular forces, almost all have cultivators. The department of special people... After all, everyone has his own ambitions, and this is also considered a cultivator. It is an intersection point between the circle of special people and the secular world, and there is a buffer point."
For example, Jiang Yi is the spokesperson of such a force... But in this incident, Jiang Yi almost did not express any position... I immediately understood what Elder Li meant, and I thought to myself silently.
Elder Li's speech continued: "It is precisely because of the existence of such a department that a bridge has been built between the circle of cultivators and secular forces, and the previously forced accommodations have become more accommodating... In general In some cases, if there are things that cannot be solved by the secular forces, the circle of cultivators will go through the formalities... In the battle between the secular forces, if one party uses the cultivators' forces and the other force's department is defeated, the entire The powerful cultivators will also take action... Correspondingly, the affairs of the cultivator circle are generally troublesome and secular forces rarely interfere... unless it is a major event that once it happens, the outcome will be irreversible... This kind of thing is all the same Earth-shattering... Just like me in China, it happened in the 1970s. Now, Yang Sheng's madness costs the whole world, don't you think it will happen?"
All the higher-ups of the forces were silent... Elder Li was very right. In this situation... once such a terrible outcome occurs, it will definitely have to 'talk' to the secular forces.
At this time, a senior power official stood up. He looked at Elder Li and said, "What kind of answer did they give?"
"Once we feel that we can't stop it... Then we will contact them in a special way and they will attack indiscriminately! As for the excuse, everyone knows... I don't need to say it, this matter has already been Intense preparations." Elder Li's face darkened.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, took out something from his long robe, threw it on the table, and said: "Since there is no need to hide it, I don't want to hold this thing... It's too much of a burden. heavy."
That thing made a dull sound on the table. It was said to be something that burdened Elder Li too much. It was just a mobile phone... but it was more refined than ordinary satellite phones and full of a kind of... A sense of technology.
The old boss collected the phone calmly. I knew with a guess that once we find that we are going to fail and it is irreversible, this will be a tool to notify the secular forces.
"Company A is very powerful... Compared to us righteous cultivators, those evil cultivators see the pattern of the entire world more clearly than we do... In this day and age, the role of money and resources cannot be underestimated... Another thought , isn’t it that the lifeblood of many big countries is secretly in the hands of some financial giants? And to describe Company A as being as rich as a country is to underestimate them... In this world, due to the role of money and resources, many They are all present in the forces, and if they want to touch them... the secular forces are also very cautious... Therefore, all actions must be kept confidential... and in order to eliminate some influences and consequences... they must also be carried out indiscriminately. The blow... And... Whether it is us or the secular forces, what we want to stop is just this big move of Company A... It cannot uproot Company A. This is a long battle... Pull The era has begun." Elder Li sighed.
"In order to eliminate the influence, we cannot obviously target... Therefore, this is a battle that can only be won and cannot be lost... Victory is only a matter within our cultivator circle. Once secular forces are involved, then we That is to say, we must be determined to sacrifice for this... The situation is complicated... The struggle will be long, is this what you mean?" One of the top power officials sighed and suddenly asked.
He wasn't too excited, and he didn't even stand up. He talked about it as if he were talking about an unusually ordinary thing.
"Yes." Elder Li's expression also became calmer... and then said: "In order to be safe, we can only choose this way. We old immortals must be determined to die... In fact, Yang Sheng He wanted to delay the duel for a while, he was escaping from the duel... Although the situation was very bad, and the number of deaths between each other might have reached the upper limit of Iron Rule Three, but Yang Sheng also wanted to do this... shrink all the power, Give him some more time. But he also has things he has to do... Don't forget his ambition. This is complicated to talk about. Let's talk about it later... In short, our meeting is the highest secret meeting. The power of the secular forces is our last trump card, but the secular forces have also told us out of many concerns that it is best not to let them take action unless it is absolutely necessary. That kind of influence also involves various intersecting forces. ... That's all. Fortunately, this is still in China. If it were in other secular forces, especially those controlled by finance, it would be difficult for them to face Company A... At least they would hesitate to think for a long time and do a lot. Prepare, and even throw everything forcefully to the cultivator circle... But when the time comes, Yang Sheng may... "
Elder Li fell silent and did not say any more.
The higher-ups of the forces below also fell silent... If a war brings a heavy psychological burden to people, then a war that only allows for success but not failure... This kind of thing with no way out at all, puts a heavy psychological burden on people. The burden can be imagined...
Therefore, such silence is foreseeable... I feel very calm. If you die to defend the Tao, it is a way for a cultivator to die a worthy death. It can be regarded as a fateful destination, so what is there to worry about? However, I sadly discovered that in my heart, apart from missing the Master and having very complicated emotions towards Wei Chaoyu who no longer existed... I had nothing to worry about...
On the contrary, that boy Chen Chengyi is full of some kind of concern... but he is still generous and does not flinch. Compared to him, should I be happy? Or should I be sad
I feel that when I take a trip in this world, I have too many emotions...
"As Elder Li said, we are immortal... Since we are for the right way, it is normal for us to die in defense of the way. There is absolutely no reason to back down... It is just this battle, I hope Xueshan will win. As a leader, I have to think about all kinds of things after failure... I mean, the fire of my righteous path cannot be extinguished. And I will die if I die."
I turned around in shock, and once again found that the cultivators in this world, the righteous cultivators, really have a spirit that I can't describe... It's touching and shocking, the words are very simple, but the things behind it are direct. Touching people's hearts.
And when I looked at the spokesman, he was one of the top ten forces, a highly respected old man.
After he spoke, senior officials from other forces also spoke.
"You're right. If you die, you will die. As long as it's not meaningless..."
"Don't we understand the merits of the reincarnation of life and death? If you can bring me such great merits, I should never hesitate to die."
"You deserved to die, why do you regret it?"
"..."
At this time, people from all major forces spoke one after another... There was nothing heroic in their words, but only a sense of pride that would never back down! In fact, the words seem relaxed on the surface. After all, reincarnation is continuous, and merits can also be accumulated... But I don't know in which life I can continue to develop 'wisdom' and enter the time of a practitioner... And the merits bring Does the worldly wealth and power that comes to us mean anything to practitioners
Here, all they rely on is a moralistic heart... for the sake of thousands of lives.
For a moment, I found that I had actually ignited a passion in my heart, and it was no longer just to fulfill Chen Chengyi's entrustment.
