The snow continued.

This heavy snowfall. It's been down for three days.

During these three days, Sui Ge continued to refine various pills while carefully groping to improve the spirituality of the staff sapling. Although he didn't know what the origin of this sapling was, Sui Ge saw that its vitality was unusually vigorous, so he named him "The Tree of Life".

The stronger the spiritual tree, the slower it grows, and its growth cycle is particularly long, and the same is true for this tree of life. Its growth rate is slow, almost the same as the original Hongmeng tree, even if it is watered with 10,000-year-old chalcedony, the effect is not particularly good. Fortunately, this tree of life is particularly fond of one thing, not Hongmeng purple qi, but Jiuyang true qi, it likes to absorb Jiuyang true fire very much, the more it receives the irradiation of Jiuyang true fire, the stronger the vitality of this sapling bursts out.

Therefore, Sui Ge didn't spend more 10,000-year chalcedony on it, but directly used the Jiuyang Pure Yuan Pill to turn it into spiritual liquid to water it, this method was really very good, but in three days, this Tree of Life had grown to two or three meters high, and as it grew up, the speed of absorbing the Jiuyang Pure Yuan Pill was also faster, and the growth rate was faster.

However, at present, this Tree of Life cannot directly accept the Three-legged Golden Crow's deposit, otherwise Sui Ge only needs to place a Three-legged Golden Crow on it, and he can provide this Tree of Life with a steady stream of Nine Yang True Qi.

In addition, the eight "fairy fruits" on the Hongmeng tree are close to maturity, only the previous three-legged golden crow is a "premature baby", so after leaving the Hongmeng tree, the growth rate is slightly slower, but this three-legged golden crow can move on its own, often mixed with the small silver worm, and got a lot of pills from the little silver worm.

Sui Ge vaguely felt that after the nine-headed three-legged golden crow was completely matured, Hongmeng Tree would step into another realm, but what realm it was, even Sui Ge didn't know, but he was looking forward to it very much in his heart.

It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but Sui Ge knows that this year's snow is definitely not Ruixue.

However, at this time, Sui Ge had to leave the Mingjian Mountain Range, because the future father-in-law's birthday was coming soon, Tang Yuxi had already invited Sui Ge to go, and specially reminded Sui Ge that her grandfather would also go home. The implication is that Sui Ge must go.

But Sui Ge knew that this time was definitely not a simple visit to his father-in-law, there must be something in it, Sui Ge's spiritual cultivation was getting stronger and stronger, and his perception and prediction of many things were becoming more and more accurate.

Sure enough, when Sui Ge arrived at the Tang family, there was no lively scene, not only did no subordinates participate, but even many relatives of the Tang family were not invited, but Zang Tian was invited.

After a peaceful birthday banquet, Sui Ge knew that the real "banquet" was about to be staged.

Tang Shiyuan called Tang Haotian, Sui Ge and Zang Tian to the study together.

In the study, there was not even a cup of tea, Tang Shiyuan told the rest of the people not to be allowed to approach the study, and after closing the door, Tang Shiyuan's first sentence was: "Sui Ge, Zang Tian, what are you doing!" ”

"This ......" Zang Tian looked at Sui Ge, "Brother, it's better for you to explain to the old man." ”

"Okay." Sui Ge nodded, "Grandpa Tang, do you want to know why we want to vigorously support you in forming the Xuanwu Legion?" ”

"Of course!" Tang Shiyuan snorted, "Needless to say, the strength of the Xuanwu Legion is very strong. I've inspected it a few times, and the strength of these people has increased several times in a short period of time, which is of course a good thing, but this matter is certainly not so simple, I want to know what you are for? Sui Ge, Zang Tian, there are some things that you can't do! ”

"Grandpa Tang, you misunderstood." Sui Ge knew what Tang Shiyuan was worried about, so he hurriedly denied it, "We don't have the kind of thing you think at all, although the current regime does dissatisfy many people, but turmoil and war will only bring more disasters." The reason why we have gone all out to form the Xuanwu Corps is only in the hope that it will be able to assume the responsibilities of a qualified army. ”

"Oh? What are the duties of a qualified military? Tang Haotian asked, "Isn't the duty of a soldier to obey orders?" ”

"Is obeying orders more important than ensuring the lives of hundreds of millions of people?" Sui Ge asked rhetorically, "If it is an order to massacre ordinary people, do you also have to follow it?" ”

"Aren't you the tip of the horns?" Tang Haotian snorted dissatisfied, "Then you still answer the previous question." ”

"I thought that the duty of a good army was to defend the people." Sui Ge said.

"It's just an empty word!" Tang Haotian said.

"Nope." Tang Shiyuan heard the meaning of Sui Ge's words, "Xiao Sui, this is the truth, a truly qualified army should defend the people." Because every soldier in the army comes from the people and is also supported by the people, if they don't defend the people, aren't they ungrateful bastards? Xiao Sui's words are very reasonable. ”

"Grandpa Tang. Now that you agree with me, let me move on to the following things. Sui Ge said, "The Xuanwu Legion is for the imminent catastrophe, and this catastrophe cannot be escaped by any person or country, because the whole world will be affected and cannot be avoided!" Therefore, at such a time, the vulnerable common people need a strong army to protect them, which is the meaning of the Xuanwu Legion's existence. ”

"Calamity? A great catastrophe? Tang Haotian said, "Xiao Sui, are you promoting the apocalypse?" ”

"Something like that." Sui Ge said, "Although the situation is a little different from the apocalyptic prediction, the approximate time is about the same. In short, this is a huge disaster, and there will be a lot of powerful creatures invading our world, and for many people, this will be a catastrophe, and then the people will need an army like the Xuanwu Legion to escort their evacuation. And Long Teng and we will be in charge of the first line of defense. ”

"Well, that's it." Zang Tian nodded, "So, Old Man Tang, don't worry, we are just qualified soldiers and warriors, not conspirators and politicians, our purpose is as simple as that." ”

"Well, it's simple, then I'll be relieved." Tang Shiyuan said, "You don't know, after I formed the Xuanwu Legion, many people were dissatisfied with me, and suspected that I had some conspiracy with the Tang family. Actually, even I wonder if you have any conspiracy, but luckily you're not. ”

"Of course, we don't have any conspiracy." Sui Ge's expression suddenly became very strict, "But I want to ask Grandpa Tang a question, please answer it truthfully." If the day I am talking about really comes, is your Xuanwu Legion here to protect the people or to protect a few in power? ”

"People!" Tang Shiyuan said without hesitation, "I am also a qualified soldier, and I demand that my army is also a qualified army!" But what is the implication of what you say, is it that if I make some wrong choice, you will not be able to seize power? ”

"I'll do it when I have to!" Zang Tian said affirmatively. Although these words are a little offensive, Zang Tian is such a person, straight to the point, and he is absolutely unambiguous in terms of right and wrong.

"Grandpa Tang, you also know that it is a very huge expense to set up the Xuanwu Legion, enhance their training, and provide them with new equipment, so this army must fulfill its due duties!" Sui Ge said resolutely.

"There's nothing wrong with what you're saying." Tang Shiyuan said, "However, I still don't believe in anything like the end of the world and the catastrophe. When we founded the country, all the ghosts, snakes, gods, and imperialism were overthrown, and we, the old revolutionaries, would not be afraid of any disaster! ”

"Then Grandpa Tang, you will regard these monsters as paper tigers at that time." Sui Ge smiled bitterly, "Actually, although you don't care, Grandpa Tang, I'm sure that some people in power are already preparing for the end of the world, right?" Superships, submarines, space programs, fortresses of doom...... These people don't care about spending a lot of money, do they? Actually, these people may not believe in the end of the world, but they will still prepare for these things, because they all value their lives very much, and they don't care about the country's money at all, do they? ”

"That's only a minority, after all." Tang Shiyuan sighed, he knew many things, but he couldn't interfere either.

"It doesn't matter, though." Sui Ge smiled suddenly, "Anyway, when the time comes, this world may experience calamities, but it will become much cleaner." There are some miscellaneous pieces that are destined to go through the Last Judgment. ”

"Xiao Sui, since you firmly believe that the catastrophe of heaven and earth will come, then I won't say anything. However, neither you nor Zang Tian can directly interfere in the affairs of the Xuanwu Legion, and I will never allow anyone to use the Xuanwu Legion to do things that should not be done! Tang Shiyuan said categorically, "This is my principle!" ”

"Of course." Sui Ge said, "However, Grandpa Tang, you can't let them be used by other careerists. The Xuanwu Legion will soon become the second largest Legion after the Dragon, and its role will become pivotal in the future. ”

"Sui Ge, I still don't believe in the end of the world." Tang Haotian said, "Can you let me see it?" At the very least, you can show me the signs? ”

Sui Ge also knew that this future father-in-law was a persistent figure who was difficult to enlighten, and he would not believe it if he didn't let him see it with his own eyes. So, Sui Ge directly threw Tang Haotian into the Hongmeng Stone, and let him see those strange demons and beasts.

After a while, Tang Haotian returned to the study, and his face turned white with fright. Halfway through, he stabilized his feelings and said, "It's terrible! Those monsters, how can you stop them......"

"What you see is only one in ten million." Sui Ge's next words made Tang Haotian completely stunned.
