Chapter Seventy-Two: The Anxiety of Red Star Mountain
The emerging industries of Wancheng country are developing rapidly.
And the Red Star Mountain in the territory of Wancheng Country, these years, has been shrouded in clouds all day long.
Day by day it is getting weaker and weaker.
Day by day, I am getting more and more afraid.
Throughout the Red Star Mountain, no one is optimistic about the future.
There is only endless pessimism.
and deepening despair.
Among them, Hongyan Daozu, the suzerain of Chixing Mountain, was even more sad all day long, often standing on the top of the main peak of Chixing Mountain, looking at the fireworks in the mortal world through layers of mist, and was stunned.
Muttered to himself: "Mortals, when did you rise above the heads of the immortals?"
"I think how prosperous my Chixing Mountain was back then, there were nearly 100 immortals, nearly 10,000 disciples, Feiyun Mountain was suppressed by me for thousands of years, Guanglei Mountain did not dare to provoke me, mortal cities, waiting respectfully, competing for offerings. ”
And now?
"Hey~!"
Hongyan Daozu sighed, his white hair swayed, and he seemed to be dozens of years old.
There is no hope in sight.
This huge Red Star Mountain will soon fall apart and die out.
Why do you say that?
How could the Red Star Mountain, which occupies the core section of the large spiritual vein, perish?
But it is true.
It won't be more than a hundred years, and Red Star Mountain will definitely die!
The reason, of course, is because of the evil multiplier country!
The national education vigorously promoted in Wancheng China, and the cultivation academy founded almost started from the mother's womb, almost stealing all the sources of disciples in Chixing Mountain.
Especially those disciples with good qualifications and outstanding talents, it used to be the cities that were vying to send them to Chixing Mountain, and Chixing Mountain had to be picked.
What now?
Not to mention the good qualifications, that is, the disciples with middle and upper qualifications, if Chixing Mountain wants to recruit the mountain, it has to take a lot of effort and take various means to persuade the other party's parents.
He also had to recruit the disciple elder to go down the mountain in person, and at the risk of being arrested by the Special Security Bureau, he took the disciple up the mountain.
In the past few years, six apprentice elders have been arrested and put in mortal prisons for the crime of "abducting and selling young children", and they have not been released so far.
went to Guanglei Mountain to recruit apprentices, and after being discovered by Guanglei Mountain, he directly hit Chixing Mountain and forced those dozen apprentices back.
After exhausting all methods, in the past few years, the number of new disciples in Chixing Mountain has been less than a hundred.
The number of disciples who have fallen due to various conflicts and dangerous missions has exceeded 100.
In other words, in terms of talents, Chixingshan has been unable to make ends meet.
Even more serious than the shortage of talents is the economic income of Chixing Mountain, which has been like an avalanche of landslides in recent years.
The main reason is that there has been a huge decrease in the "upper offerings" from the mortal cities.
In the past, the offerings received by Chixing Mountain every year from various cities could not be used up, and the grain received could not be eaten, so a good part of it had to be thrown away, and the belongings received were piled up, and there was not even a warehouse to store them, as well as all kinds of valuable refining materials and alchemy herbs...... The list is too numerous to count.
What now?
Of the more than 60 cities in Chixing Mountain, only five are still being offered...... It is five of the twelve core cities around Mt. Chixing.
Not to mention the small amount of things offered, the value has also shrunk seriously, and it is not possible to express dissatisfaction, which will provoke the only five remaining cities to be angry, and they will not be offered in the future.
This is also related to the great battle with Feiyun Mountain many years ago, Chixing Mountain used the mortal monks in the twelve cities as cannon fodder, and more than 90,000 people were killed in the battle among 100,000 people.
It's just that Chixing Mountain doesn't give some financial compensation and verbal comfort, and the thousands of people who survived are only sent away as an outer disciple, and they almost can't learn anything, they have to do all kinds of chores and endure all kinds of bullying by inner disciples.
In the end, almost all of these thousands of people went down the mountain and never waited again.
The hearts of the people of Chixing Mountain were lost, and the relationship with the twelve cities plummeted, which can be said to have lost the basic plate.
There is a saying called "only when you lose do you know how to cherish", Chixing Mountain is exactly like this, after more than 99% of mortals are interrupted, in terms of economy, Chixing Mountain is seriously unable to make ends meet, and begins to gnaw on the old capital accumulated in the past.
And in Wancheng Country, after the emergence of goods such as "Imperial Sky Suit" and "Divine Soldier Three-piece Set", a "buying tide" was also set off on Chixing Mountain, and a large number of disciples had no intention of cultivating, thinking about making money all day long, and then buying these sets through various channels.
The cost of Akashi Mountain has skyrocketed.
Hongyan Daozu took strict measures to prohibit the purchase of those "mortal things", found one, confiscated one, and as a result, caused strong dissatisfaction among the disciples, and then put on the imperial sky suit, betrayed the sect, and joined the Wancheng Kingdom...... The immortals can't catch up.
Within half a month, more than 100 people had defected.
Hongyan Daozu had no choice but to revoke the ban and return the confiscated magic weapon sets.
He even secretly went down the mountain to earn money and work in the spiritual energy factories run by mortals, turning a blind eye and not restricting them.
Because these disciples make their own money to buy those expensive magic weapon sets, it is better than them working together to steal the property in the sect's treasury and then take it to the mortal world to sell it for consumption.
After all, cultivating in the mountains, the sect would not pay these disciples a salary.
The vast majority of the disciples were penniless.
And accustomed to seeing the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, those disciples began to get tired of boring cultivation, and they were full of interest in the new things that kept popping up in the mortal world, and their way of thinking was gradually influenced and even assimilated by mortals, and they had a strong good feeling.
Over time, the disciples diluted their hatred for the Wancheng Kingdom, lost their confidence in the sect, their thinking was confused, their positions wavered, and they had not yet had a showdown with the Wancheng Kingdom, and they were already timid.
Some disciples are even developing towards the "surrender faction".
One of the most fundamental reasons for this result is that the country of Wancheng is more advanced and stronger.
The other is that the country of Wancheng is more developed and wealthier.
And no matter what aspect it is, Chixing Mountain has no chance of winning.
Even if there is an ancestor in Chixing Mountain.
Where is the road?
How to choose and plan for the future of Chixing Mountain?
Regarding this issue, during this time, Hongyan Dao Ancestor discussed with several elders in the sect, as well as the only remaining ancestor, for several days.
This issue is still being discussed today.
Inside the main hall of the sect.
"It's better to move to the mountain gate, leave the Wancheng country, and find another suitable spiritual vein, with the Wancheng country, my Chixing Mountain will be destroyed sooner or later." An elder said, believing that only by moving out could the Dao system of Chixing Mountain be continued.
"No!"
Someone immediately shook his head and retorted, "How difficult is it to find a suitable spiritual vein? A slightly better spiritual vein is occupied by a mountain gate, and if you want to relocate, you must destroy these mountain gates!
The rich man, who is accustomed to living a comfortable life, now wants him to suffer poverty, and he wants to be reluctant, and the huge gap is not to mention that he can't accept it ideologically, and it is habitually unbearable to really get to that field.
What's more, these elders in the hall are on Chixing Mountain, facing the cave mansion with 100 times and 80 times the spiritual energy intensity respectively, and none of them will choose to cultivate in the cave mansion with 80 times the intensity.
Therefore, when I thought of those small spiritual veins that had reached 50 times the intensity of spiritual energy, and moved the sect over, almost no one in the field agreed.
"The spiritual vein of my Red Star Mountain, there is no mountain gate in the world that can be compared, migrating away, that is self-inflicted weakness, absolutely not!"
"If we don't move to the mountain gate, what if the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom strengthens the persecution? If we can't receive disciples, and without financial resources, aren't we just as weak?" the elder questioned.
There was silence in the hall for a while.
"Bang!"
An elder hammered the low table in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then we will do everything we can to destroy the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom!"
This elder is one of the few hardliners left in Chixing Mountain, and his voice of fighting with all his strength and fighting to the end once occupied the mainstream, but now it is ......
No one responded, just shook their heads.
"We still have the Ancestor, as long as the Ancestor kills all the high-ranking members of the Wancheng Kingdom, the Wancheng Kingdom will definitely collapse and collapse!" the elder stood up and shouted.
"Bi Daozi, sit down, this method has already been tried, but the system of the Ten Thousand Multiplication Country is special, the head of the country is rotated, and killing a few has no effect, but it will provoke it and attract thunder to retaliate. Hongyan Daozu shook his head and said.
Of course, killing Zhang Shanhe, the soul of Wancheng Kingdom, will definitely have an obvious effect, but that Zhang Shanhe is extremely cunning, there are countless stand-ins, and the probability of successful assassination is extremely low, not to mention that his counterattack and revenge can make the hostile forces feel pain in the spine and deeply regret it.
Even if he succeeded in killing Zhang Shanhe, Hongyan Daozu did not dare to confirm that the Wancheng Kingdom would really be in chaos and collapse, because this country has a special system, and the death of a few important people will not have an impact on the whole to the extent of shaking the overall situation.
Therefore, Hongyan Daozu never expressed the proposition of the hardliners in the sect again.
There is only Yin Kui Ancestor left, the last hole card of the sect, Hongyan Dao Ancestor will never play it out like that, and then in exchange for the destruction of Chixing Mountain.
"It's not okay to move the sect, it's not okay to assassinate the high-level of the Wancheng Kingdom, what can we do?"
"Can't you sit and wait for death?"
One of the elders cried out, his face full of despair.
"Merge. ”
"Akashiyama can be merged with other major bulks. ”
At this time, Yin Kui Ancestor, who had been sitting at the top and had not said a word before, suddenly opened his mouth and said a word.
Merge?
The elders in the audience were very surprised and asked, "How to merge and merge with that sect?"
"Qingyun Mountain. ”
Yin Kui Ancestor said, "Qingyun Mountain has been seriously suppressed by Guanglei Mountain in recent years, and its strength is insufficient, and it needs external assistance. ”
"I went to Qingyun Mountain the day before yesterday and discussed with Hongping Daozu at this time, he agreed, but ......"
"But what?" immediately asked someone below.
"But after the merger, it is necessary to focus on Qingyun Mountain, supplemented by Chixing Mountain, and after going to Qingyun Mountain, we are no longer allowed to act in the name of Chixing Mountain. ”
After the Ancestor finished speaking, there was silence below.
Or rather...... Utterly disappointed.
What is the difference between this merger and the demise of the sect?
Who will remember Mt. Chixing in the future?
Of course, the people and the Dao system are still there, but in the future, they can no longer say that they are the elders of Chixing Mountain, and they are no longer characters from Chixing Mountain.
From then on, sending people under the fence, looking at people's faces, eating people's alms, and being tended to be tended to be shouted at by others, reduced to second-class goods, and completely lost their autonomy.
Who accepted this result?
"I think the merger can be ......"
Seeing that no one responded, Hongyan Daozu spoke, he had communicated with Yin Kui Ancestor in advance, and he thought that he could accept the merger, although he lost the name of the sect.
"Sect Master, Elders, Ancestors, Shen Quan, a traitor of our sect and the ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Wancheng Country, went up the mountain to ask for a meeting. ”
At this moment, the disciples outside the hall came in to report.
Hongyan Daozu was stunned, and his words were blocked back into his stomach.
Shen Quan.
This traitor, what is he doing again?
