Chapter 478: Gathering in All Directions
After the construction work of the Dingtian Sect was gradually put on the right track, Ye Shuo also devoted all his energy to mobilizing the neighbors, but the results were not always satisfactory.
On this day, Ye Shuo simply chose a vacant land at the foot of the mountain, set up a platform, and gathered all the villagers from ten miles and eight townships.
There were not only the elders of the various families present, but also the children of the sects who had cultivated in the Dingtian Mountain Range in the past. The audience was in an uproar.
Facing these familiar or unfamiliar faces, Ye Shuo began his speech with emotion. But for nearly half an hour, no matter how much he repeatedly emphasized the importance of cultivation and guaranteed the security system of the New Heaven Sect from all aspects, the parents in the audience still had deep distrust in their eyes.
Even they exchanged words from time to time, exchanging doubts about themselves. So the original attitude was more resolute, and the other part of the parents who had just wavered under the pleading of their children for days and days, as soon as they heard the gossip spread by others, they thought that all kinds of hidden dangers could not be ignored, and they all shook their heads one after another.
Not long after, leftover rotten vegetable leaves gradually smashed up from the audience.
"You don't have to say any more! even if we tell you flowers, we won't send the child to you again!"
"Yes, when he waits for you to be a parent as well, think again, are you willing to send your child to a mortal place?"
Ye Shuo did not dodge or dodge, and after letting these emotional parents vent, the spiritual power on the surface of his body shook slightly, and swept away the vegetable leaves all over his body.
"I understand the concern for your children. But please listen to me, in this spiritual continent, if you don't have enough strength, there is no basis for survival. If you don't join the cultivation sect today, maybe you can live a little longer for the time being, but if a strong enemy attacks in the future, even if it's just a group of bandits, you can only be slaughtered by others if you are powerless!
Think about it, do you want to keep it all in the short term, or do you want to look higher and seek a longer security for your future?"
As soon as these words were said, the emotions of the parents in the audience suddenly became even more excited.
"It's better to live a few more years than to die now!"
"We've lived here for generations, when have we ever seen a bandit attack? Are you cursing us?"
"If you want me to say, you should report to the official and arrest him, so as not to harm others again!"
The last sentence elicited a unanimous response from everyone.
Ye Shuo sighed and tried to keep himself calm: "The Evil World Emperor is about to descend on the world, and the troubled times are coming, and the major forces will definitely become even more crazy, and anything can happen at that time." Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Just because something has happened in the past doesn't mean it's going to happen again in the future.
Avoiding danger does not allow us to truly avoid danger, improve our strength, and let ourselves truly have the ability to face all dangers, which is what we should do!"
"Moreover, I believe that there is no parent who does not think about their children, so why don't you want to listen to their children's own opinions? Ask them, do they want to cultivate, or do they want to be farmers in the mountains and fields for the rest of their lives?"
"At the same age, everyone should be equal. But while everyone else is choosing to improve themselves and become stronger, they can only waste their time here.
Maybe they originally had superior cultivation qualifications, not much worse than those children of the family, but you chose to waste their talents. In the future, when they go outside, they will never be able to lift their heads, they will be despised by those who they could have stepped on the soles of their feet, and they will be poked in the back by everyone, is this what you want to see?"
At first, there would be a few voices in the crowd that said, "I can just make decisions about my child's life", but gradually, the discussion became quieter, and perhaps these parents finally began to rethink their choices.
"The same people, why can some people live in big towns, live in mansions, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, while we can only live in such small villages for generations, and every penny of daily expenses have to be taken care of, and even when we go to the street to buy vegetables, we will be taken advantage of by black-hearted merchants to add a few pennies?
I don't know why you didn't choose to cultivate in the first place, because you were limited by your conditions, or because you couldn't afford to endure hardships and were willing to give up? Reflecting on your life over the years, do you feel comfortable? Are you happy? After suffering like this for most of your life, do you want your children to follow such an old path in the future?"
"There are indeed more spiritual cultivation sects in China, and I am not the only one from the Dingtian Sect, but except for the Dingtian Sect, no one will be willing to accept these disciples who have gone out of the countryside. Why, because our overall weakness has been shaped in their eyes, and they look down on you, and they look down on your children. At present, joining the Dingtian Sect is the only choice for everyone.
But I can guarantee that in the future, if the sect becomes stronger, it can wash away the inherent impression in the eyes of those sects, and I don't mind letting the Dingtian Sect become a transit point for your cultivation, and you can change to another sect at any time. But the strength of the sect requires us to work together. And our dignity needs to be fought for by ourselves!"
In Ye Shuo's voice, more and more parents showed hesitation on their faces. But there are still people who shout: "There is no basis for empty words! Now that you are trying to attract students, of course you are desperately trying to put gold on the face of your Dingtian faction! Now the only good and bad thing is your word, how can we believe you?"
As soon as the rest of the parents heard the reason, they echoed it again, shouting for Ye Shuo to "come up with evidence".
"Now, I really can't come up with reliable evidence. Ye Shuo smiled faintly, and when the parents were about to protest again, he said unhurriedly: "So everything will speak with facts." I will stay here for a few months, and the entire development process of the Dingtian Sect will be completely open and transparent, so if you are not at ease, you can come and visit at any time.
After a few months, I believe that both the scale of the Dingtian Sect and the overall quality of its disciples will be very different from today. If you are still satisfied with the results you have achieved by then, I hope you can consider my proposal and let your children return to the mountain to cultivate. ”
After some deliberation, the parents in the audience nodded in disbelief: "Then we will believe you first." But don't get too excited, we haven't said anything yet. Everything depends on the results you come up with when the time comes. ”
At the outskirts of the crowd, a little boy about four or five years old was trying to see the center of attention. For a child who has to join in wherever there is excitement, although he also heard what Ye Shuo said just now, the specific content is completely foggy.
There was no one to perform the fight, and no one to sing, so why were so many people gathered around to watch? The little boy bit his finger and quickly lost interest.
But thinking that when I go home now, I will definitely be forced by my father to read and write, so it is better to stay here for a while longer. So he shuttled nimbly through the crowd, sometimes pulling off a few old men's beards, sometimes tying the shoes of the two neighbors together, and having fun.
In such a casual play, the little boy finally heard a few familiar words from Ye Shuo's tirade. And this made him more excited than ever.
"Dingtian...... Dingtian ...... The Dingtian Mountain Range is very good, my brother is from the Dingtian Mountain Range, he is so powerful, he won't lose if he joins there!"
This immature child's voice attracted many people's eyes, and even Ye Shuo looked at it curiously. In any case, it was his little ally who was willing to help him at such a time, and Ye Shuo was still quite grateful.
"Little brother, come here, would you like to stand on the stage and tell everyone, what do you know about the Dingtian Mountain Range?" easily found the child in the crowd, Ye Shuo squatted down and beckoned to him cordially.
The little boy's personality seemed to be very lively, and he was not afraid of life or stage fright in such a scene, so he immediately responded loudly and ran up to the stage.
"My brother ......," the little boy said in a milky voice. Although he talked for a long time, it was all around his brother, but because the child's appearance was so cute, the parents who were watching were not bored, and they all listened to him with great interest.
Ye Shuo stood beside him, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. When the little boy talked about how his brother taught him to cultivate, Ye Shuo used his soul power to sweep at random on him, but this sweep made his eyes widen.
"Alright, little brother. When the little boy's narration finally came to an end, Ye Shuo touched his head, "I have observed, you seem to have a certain cultivation foundation, did your brother teach you?
If this kid performs well, it will be convenient for the parents who are watching to see how effective the cultivation of the Dingtian Mountain Range is. Not only can he cultivate an excellent disciple, but even his family can touch his light, and he is outstanding at a young age. In this way, the recruitment of disciples by the Dingtian Sect will definitely have a good publicity effect.
The little boy nodded happily and said, "My brother has taught me a lot, but the best thing I fight is a set of boxing techniques, and my brother has also praised me for fighting well." Then I'll perform...... Show boxing!"
Ye Shuo smiled and nodded. The little boy quickly pulled out of the stance, every punch, every leg, although he still lacked some strength when he swung it, but the direction was already quite tricky, and it looked like he was usually practiced.
Although most of the parents present are not proficient in martial arts, they still have some basic eyesight. This set of boxing techniques is indeed quite accomplished, and if it is replaced by an adult, it should be even more majestic. That's it, they initially had the idea of watching children play, but gradually they were really attracted by this set of boxing techniques.
As for the surviving disciples of the Dingtian Mountain Range, they were still disdainful of a little boy's outrageous words at first. They just want to see each other's weak movements, and by the way, find a few more faults with him, so as to prove that children are just children.
But seeing the back, even the proudest disciples put away their contempt, and many people secretly reflected that even if they performed martial arts in public like this, they might not be able to fight more standard than him.
And his moves are not only good-looking, but also practical, with few flaws, every time he makes a move, he will attack the enemy and have to save him, and he doesn't even have to wait for him to grow up, just say that when he really practices this set of boxing techniques, even they themselves may not be able to deal with this little child.
Ye Shuo also watched intently. At first, he was just pure joy, but thinking that in this way, those parents' prejudices against the Dingtian Mountain Range would definitely improve a lot. But looking at it, he felt that this punch seemed to be very familiar, and he should have seen someone perform it in front of him......
But when he was engrossed in trying to see more, the little boy's fist was empty. If you can't comprehend the essence of boxing, the artistic conception is very different after all, and it is difficult for Ye Shuo to be inspired by it and connect with the person in his memory.
Until a set of long fist dances was completed, it won the applause of the audience. The little boy was also a little shy, scratched the back of his head, and suddenly bowed in a similar manner, and said in a soft childish voice: "I hope everyone will support my brother and support the Dingtian Mountain Range." When I'm old enough, I'll sign up there. ”
As soon as the little boy's voice fell, Ye Shuo was about to strike while the iron was hot, when the crowd was in one place in the east and one in the west, and suddenly a large number of unknown children shouted happily.
"If Xiaoxing wants to join, we will join too!"
"That's right! Xiaoxing's brother is really powerful!"
"Dad, when I reach the right age, take me to sign up, I want to practice with Xiaoxing!"
These were also brought by their parents to watch the excitement and did not care about the development of the Dingtian Sect, but after the little boy expressed his position, although he didn't understand the meaning of entering the sect at all, they also pestered their parents to ask for registration.
was pestered by their own children, not to mention that the little boy's boxing skills just now were indeed admired even by themselves, and the parents finally agreed vaguely.
As soon as the direction of the wind changed, those young disciples who didn't dare to speak at first also took the opportunity to persuade their parents. Looking at the child's pitiful eyes, and then looking at the young children on the other side who had been allowed to cheer, a pair of parents looked at each other a few times, and nodded helplessly one after another.
At this time, it is Ye Shuo who is the happiest in the audience. He never thought that things would go so smoothly, those parents were still talking about thinking about it, and they would decide after seeing the results, but now it seems that thinking about that level is saved.
It's just that in addition to being excited, he can't help but smile bitterly. He tried his best to explain the facts, and talked a lot about it, and even used the standard draft written by Gong Tianying to him, which was not as good as a few casual words from a child. It seems that this child is still a child king in the township.
However, from this point, Ye Shuo also saw the importance of role model. At this time, he was already secretly thinking that in the future, the Dingtian Sect will officially start teaching, and he must cultivate a few disciples who can take charge of their own affairs as soon as possible, and they will first be a golden sign for the sect, and they will also be the best spokesperson for recruiting disciples in the future.
"Little brother, can you tell me who your brother is?" This is also the question that Ye Shuo is most curious about.
If his brother is really that good, there is no reason not to know him. But among the remaining disciples of this Dingtian Mountain Range...... Can't seem to find the right number?
Xiaoxing's big innocent eyes flashed, and the mention of his brother always excites him: "My brother's name is ......"
"Xiaoxing, you kid is really disobedient, your homework hasn't been completed yet, why did you run out to see the excitement again!" An old man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, jumped onto the stage in a few steps, pulled Xiaoxing up and left: "Didn't your brother also say that you shouldn't just go to a crowded place? Quick, follow me home!"
If Xiaoxing was still a child king just now, now he is being held by his father, he is a very good baby. Honestly striding forward, it is completely impossible to see the spirit of the punch a moment ago.
The two walked all the way out of the crowd, and they could still hear the praise of onlookers.
"Brother Luo, you are really blessed, your two sons are so capable!"
The old man was a simple farmer, and he didn't know how to answer the praise of others. Just when he heard others praise his son, he grinned toothlessly and habitually laughed.
"This surname...... And the child's name......" Ye Shuo on the stage was struck by lightning. Some things that I couldn't figure out before were slowly connected together...... It seems that he knows who that kid really is......!
In a flash, Ye Shuo had already appeared in front of Xiaoxing's father and son.
