Chapter 522: Internal and external troubles
A few days ago, when Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang sent two junior disciples back to the mountain to ask for help, they actually didn't have much hope.
If it is a qiēshun lì, of course, it is the best, the Spirit Sword Elder and even the powerhouses of other sects of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance will rush to support, and then the demon clan will be wiped out if they have the means to reach the sky.
Previously, Wang Lu couldn't judge the opponent's hole cards and didn't dare to rashly expand the scale of the war, but now that the black tide has been suppressed, he has no scruples.
However, for the matter of asking for help, you really can't have too high expectations, because this shape is not difficult for the opponent to judge, as long as the demon clan is not stupid, you must see the importance of blocking the news. As long as this group of Spirit Sword disciples is killed, based on the characteristics of the barbaric land to isolate the news, it is difficult for the Spirit Sword Mountain Gate to detect the abnormality for a while, and by the time they find out the problem, the demon clan has already completed the arrangement, and they are no longer afraid of anyone. As long as Wang Lu is killed, the terrifying black tide in the desert will continue to accumulate until it erupts. Swept by the Black Tide, the Spirit Sword Sect will follow the path of the real historical line.
So from the very beginning, sending people back to the mountains to ask for help was somewhat gambling. It's just that under the shape at that time, it was impossible to leave this move unchecked, so Ouyang Shang weighed it and still selected two junior disciples who were good at retreating and good at saving their lives to return to the mountain to send a letter.
Fortunately, the development of the shape shì after that, although it is not particularly smooth, is always controllable. Now, even if the two juniors and disciples did not move well, the letter for help could not be sent back to the mountain gate...... More than half of the people have gathered at the Fuquan base, and as long as they can lead these people back to the mountain in a group, it will be considered a victory.
Now that he heard that the two junior disciples had successfully delivered the letter for help, Ouyang Shang finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Along the way, as a senior brother, the weight of the pressure on his shoulders made him feel deeply tired, the unfathomable strong enemy, the terrifying demon black tide, the net worth and lives of more than 100 senior brothers had to be shouldered, and he was just a young man who had just achieved Jindan at this time!
Fortunately, this difficult test has finally come to an end.
"Reinforcements will arrive in three days, so you must be careful not to fall before dawn during these three days."
After briefly explaining to Yang Fei, Caixia and other persons in charge of the Fuquan base, Ouyang Shang returned to his room to prepare to rest, and he was really tired along the way.
But when I opened the door, I saw that there was already someone in the room. Seeing that person, Ouyang Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Senior Brother Wang Lu is really energetic, aren't you tired?" ”
Wang Lu said: "I'm almost tired of becoming a dog, so I'm here for leisure." ”
“…… Senior brother, you still have something to say, leisure or something is still free. ”
Wang Lu said: "Hey, I originally thought that it would be rare to have a vacation period, so I might as well be cordial to deepen our friendship with each other, but since you are so resistant to the pure friendship between people of the same sex, I have no choice but to ......."
Ouyang Shang really couldn't bear to listen to it, and hurriedly interrupted: "...... Do you have any thoughts on the reinforcements that will arrive in three days? ”
Wang Lu sighed and said, "Of course, I came to you to discuss this matter in addition to leisure and goodwill." According to the original historical line, the entire Spirit Sword Sect was wiped out. And because I know this, I have always opposed the introduction of sect elders before, but unfortunately, with the change of shape, I still took the old path...... Although we have done enough security measures, after all, we still have to take great risks. ”
Ouyang Shang said: "Against such a powerful enemy, how can there be a reason not to take risks. Now that the Black Tide has been sealed by you, and after several encounters with the enemy, although the opponent's methods are mysterious, it is obviously impossible to say that the Elder of the Spirit Sword can completely destroy the Soul Sword...... Reasonably, we don't need to worry about this for no reason, from the moment you cross over, the historical line has undergone irreversible changes. ”
Wang Lu nodded: "Well, this question will be put aside for the time being." Let's discuss the next question, these three days will be very difficult for everyone, the more than 50 people in the Fuquan base seem to be huge, but under the pervasive penetration of the opponent, more people will make the flaws even more. Bao Liu Xian's tricks can no longer be stopped, if there is a slight mistake in the next pool, more than 50 people will be in civil strife, even if you and I make a move, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress it. ”
Ouyang Shang nodded: "That's right, so just now I have asked Yang Fei to bring his junior disciple who is good at arranging formations to strengthen the Fuquan base, and cooperate with the demon weapon enchantment left by the dragon Jiao......"
Wang Lu interrupted: "No matter how solid the Fuquan Base is, it will only come from the hands of our group of young people who are only at the highest level of Jindan. When we were in the Devil Crying Forest, we couldn't prevent the infiltration of the other party, and it was impossible to be sure of returning to Fuquan. ”
Ouyang Shang sighed: "I know, so I also asked Caixia to make other arrangements." ”
"Strict internal management, strict monitoring of every disciple...... The idea is right, but I always feel that the strength of the means is not enough. ”
Ouyang Shang said: "...... Well, it's not safe to rely on Senior Sister Caixia and the others alone, so I'm going to personally come out and inspect the inside of the base after a short rest......"
"The Fuquan base is expanded on the basis of the Dragon Palace, there are many subordinates of the owner here, and the scale of the Dragon Palace is very large, can you guarantee that there will be no dead ends? Plus I'm not enough. If you want me to say, why don't you come forward and order everyone to gather in the hall of the Dragon Palace, and then you and I will arrange the formation in the hall, and limit everyone to a grid of one zhang square, within three days of the arrival of the elders, everyone must stay in the grid, and must not use external spells, if there is a violation, it will be punished by being possessed by the demons, and all the crowd will attack. ”
Ouyang Shang smiled bitterly: "Your method is completely biased, if it is really implemented in turn, it can indeed eliminate the chaos caused by the demon possession to the greatest extent, but this is tantamount to questioning that all the junior brothers and sisters here are not trustworthy, and the seeds of doubt are planted first." ”
Wang Lu said: "It's not trustworthy in the first place, theoretically even you and I are not trustworthy, but now no one is qualified to question you and me." And senior brother, with our tacit understanding, don't tell me that you couldn't think of this trick before. ”
Ouyang Shang was questioned by Wang Lu like this, but he could only be silent.
"Don't be shy, before I came, you didn't even lock the door of your room, you made it clear that you were waiting for me to come......"
"......" Ouyang Shang still didn't speak, just silently took half a step back, a little farther away from Wang Lu.
"Hey, your gesture of wanting to cover up is very easy to cause misunderstanding, okay...... In any case, do not do a word. ”
Ouyang Shang pondered for a moment: "There are two questions, one is that this matter really shouldn't be brought forward by me......
"I know, I know that this kind of offending person is of course me, and I will call a meeting of everyone later, and I will be responsible for raising it, you don't have to express your position, naturally someone will come forward to support it...... You can trust your younger brothers and sisters in this regard. ”
Ouyang Shang smiled bitterly again: "This kind of trick of using others to trust politicians is really disgusting. ”
Wang Lu took out a plate of old vinegared peanuts with his backhand: "If you are disgusting, you can eat some sour, but things have to be done...... Let's talk while eating. In times of crisis of trust, it is necessary to establish an unquestionable idol, and this idol belongs to you. But then the second problem is more troublesome, using the formation to restrict everyone's movements, although it can protect internal security, but once the external enemy invades head-on, the people who are confined to the grid will inevitably be passive. So I built yì to leave me outside. ”
“…… You really dare to mention it, if it was someone else, just by mentioning this yì, I have to have some doubts. ”
Wang Lu said: "So the gatekeeper is none other than me." Of all of them, I am the most resistant to external invasions - if the demons could control me, they would have accused me of suicide to erase the mark of the Black Tide. Since I have been able to jump alive until now, it proves that their infiltration is ineffective against me, so it is safe for me to guard the outer door. ”
"Well, I know...... Okay, according to your opinion, I will hold a plenary meeting later, and you should be ready to make a proposal. ”
"Haha, let's be prepared to be blinded~"
――
At the plenary meeting, Wang Lu was indeed greatly questioned. His first mention was quickly obtained, but progress was delayed on the second issue.
"During the special period, everyone is confined to the main hall and isolated by a grid array...... Although the method is a bit crude, it is an effective means of protecting everyone. Although I did feel a little unhappy about this, I did not disagree with it. My question is, why is it that even the senior brother is within this limit, and you can run outside the temple without restrictions? ”
Caixia's righteous and stern questioning was recognized by many Spirit Sword disciples.
"I know that you are strong, even stronger than Senior Brother, but at this time, trust has nothing to do with strength, we trust Senior Brother because there must be someone who can bear the trust of everyone at the moment, and this candidate is only Senior Brother is the most suitable. As for you, we don't even know who you really are! ”
Wang Lu opened his mouth, and was just about to speak when Caixia choked back.
"Don't use the bastard son of the head to perfunctory us! That kind of idiotic reason is only Ouyang Shang's idiot would believe it! ”
Ouyang Shang tilted his head: "I said Caixia......"
"Shut up!"
"Uh......"
Caixia's attitude was resolute, and it was inconvenient for Ouyang Shang to speak, but before and after Wang Lu's thoughts, he really couldn't find a reasonable explanation - it was not impossible to expose the identity of the traverser, but in fact, this reason was even more bizarre than that of an illegitimate child, and only Ouyang Shang could accept it without obstacles. If you change Caixia......
"That's enough."
In the end, it was Ouyang Shang who stepped forward and forced Caixia's doubts with the authority of the senior brother.
"If you still treat me as a senior brother, then there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, and when the elders come, we will give everyone an explanation...... Do you say it's okay, Sister Caixia? ”
Speaking of which, Caixia couldn't be stubborn, so she had to reluctantly agree.
――
In the next three days, the Spirit Sword disciples were all soldiers, and the wind was noisy, and they had a miserable life. Wang Lu was guarding outside the gate of the Dragon Palace, and he was even more tense, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
However, what was surprising was that in the past three days, the demon clan had never made a move, not even the slightest temptation, which made the high vigilance of the Spirit Sword disciples completely a false alarm.
When the light of dawn rose from the horizon on the fourth day, Wang Lu couldn't even believe that three days had passed.
Wait, three days have passed?!
Wang Lu suddenly thought of a huge blind spot, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.
