vs 287 Wealth or people?
Previously, when passing near the Qingyun Mountain Range, he and Youxuan had tested the strength of those Rakshasa corpse armies together, compared to the Yin Netherworld ghosts and sand beasts he had encountered before, the Rakshasa corpse army he encountered this time made them feel very troubled both in terms of their own strength and the kind of strict cooperation, although because of the reason of the mutual restraint of the exercises, the old ghosts of Youxuan seemed to have a stronger lethality to those white bone skeletons, but that time they were facing the corpse army of the Qi training period, if they really encountered a strong enemy in the foundation building period, I am afraid that it was far less relaxed than before. What's even worse is that those corpse soldiers cooperate with each other tacitly, and they actually know that they cover each other to act, which is the most terrifying and fatal point. Fighting against such an opponent, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover.
Fortunately, it seems that those skeletons from the other world have not appeared here? This really made him feel a little more relieved, with the strength of the Wei family, if there is anything abnormal within a radius of thousands of miles, they should all be able to get the news.
After pondering for a while, Shen Tong still asked, "Patriarch Wei, has someone disappeared near Sifang City recently?"
Wei Yuanzheng really felt that some strong bandits and thieves had appeared at this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "There are very few outsiders here in Sifang City, and I haven't heard of any abnormal situations, but it seems that there are hunters and visitors who have entered the mountains in these days, and I don't know if it is related to the things that the immortals are concerned about, but ......"
Shen Tong looked at him and couldn't help but say: "If the Wei family master has something to say, you might as well say it bluntly, I came here by the order of my teacher, and the responsibility I bear is not small, and I have to investigate anything abnormal." β
Wei Yuanzheng couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Shangxian misunderstood, it's not that the little old man doesn't say it, it's really a matter of missing people like hunters and visitors, it's a common thing in our place, you must know that after entering the vast mountain, the situation of not seeing others for several months happens from time to time, and entering the mountain alone is naturally a combination of harvest and danger." In addition to facing those fierce and abnormal beasts, we must also beware of others killing people and taking treasures, so that the disappearance of some people is naturally a common thing, and few people have always paid attention to this matter. Speaking of which, such a thing is impossible to explore in detail, the mountain range is too vast, not to mention a person, even if tens of thousands of people in Sifang City are thrown into it, I am afraid that it will not be long before they are all lost in it. β
"So, could it be a pure accident?" Shen Tong asked with some hesitation.
Wei Yuanzheng replied: "This little old man doesn't dare to speculate. Seeing that this Master Li seemed to frown slightly, Wei Yuanzheng also said: "Shangxian might as well drink some tea and rest for a while, and then Xiao Lao'er will send his servants to inquire about the details, if there is really something going on in the Sifang City, it is not Xiao Lao'er who boasts, and he will definitely be able to find out clearly." β
Although Shen Tong has been in the valley for many years, but the head of the Wei family warmly invited him and he couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, and immediately picked up the tea on the side and took a sip, and then he couldn't help but show a slight look of surprise, there was a faint smell of medicinal fragrance after the entrance of this tea, which was okay, but there was still a trace of imperceptible spiritual power mixed in this tea, which really surprised him. Looking at his expression, Wei Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Li Shangxian, how is this tea?"
Shen Tong couldn't help but be surprised: "It's quite distinctive!"
Wei Yuanzheng said with a smile: "My Wei family is a family of ginseng, although the momentum has grown over the years, but I dare not forget the original, this method of collecting ginseng is also passed down from generation to generation, this tea is made from the yellow ginseng in the mountains, although it is vulgar, but it is also a unique flavor." Xiao Lao'er has no other favorite things in his life, but this yellow ginseng tea can not be interrupted by a pot of tea every day. β
Shen Tong nodded, taking advantage of this opportunity to drink tea, he seemed to clear his thoughts, and then he put down the teacup and said slowly: "Patriarch Wei, speaking of which, you and I are not outsiders, and I don't want to hide some things." Looking at Wei Yuanzheng's gradually solemn expression, Shen Tong continued: "The reason why the teacher asked me to come this time is actually because of the amazing changes that have occurred in the spirit world, and this matter involves some hidden secrets in the spirit world, and it is not clear in a few words, but this matter has a wide impact, not to mention the mortals of the family, even if the monk family is unlucky, it will be difficult to escape the terrible end of the annihilation." "I love
Wei Yuanzheng's expression changed drastically and said: "Li Shangxian, I don't know what happened, there would be such terrible consequences?"
Shen Tong shook his head and said: "This matter involves the spiritual world and the other world, I also have limited knowledge, I only know that the situation is extremely dangerous, fortunately, it seems that this matter has not yet spread to the Sifang City, which is a great luck in misfortune." In my opinion, although it seems that there is no risk for the time being, it is always better to be prepared than to be in time to deal with the situation, I wonder if the Wei family thinks I have a reason for this?"
Not to mention that this person in front of him is the apprentice of the ancestor of the family, that is, his status as a monk, it is far from being comparable to Wei Yuanzheng, and when he heard this, he said: "Li Shangxian plans to deal with it, just give orders, and the little old man will not make a mistake if he follows the instructions." β
Shen Tong said: "Earlier, the Wei family master said that he would send someone to investigate the situation around Sifang City, in my opinion, the sooner the better! Once you find any abnormal situation, if a large number of people are missing, you must inform me in time so that I can take countermeasures." In addition, the head of the Wei family needs to call all the people of the Wei family back to his home, and it is best not to go out again until the matter is not discovered, so as not to cause unnecessary losses when the rescue is too late. β
Wei Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Shang Xian, the little Lao'er family runs the pharmacy business in all parts of Sifang City, not to mention anything else every day, just the supply of goods needs a lot of manpower, and the meaning of Shang Xian is that they all need to be shut down?"
Shen Tong said noncommittally: "Business can be done at any time, but if the person is gone, no matter how much money and business there is, it will all be in vain, then again, with the master, does the Wei family master still need to worry about the future of the Wei family?
Even if Wei Yuanzheng has a lot of respect for Shen Tong's status as a monk, plus the reason for the old ancestor of the Wei family, it makes no sense that his arrangement should be followed, but closing the shop and recalling all the personnel back to the house is really a major event that involves the foundation of the family. With his more than 100 years of struggle, the family finally got to where it is today under his leadership, but he never thought of suddenly making such a change, which really made him a little unacceptable, and he struggled in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked: "Li Shangxian, does it have to be like this? But there are other ways and means?"
Shen Tong said: "How to act, Li has already made arrangements according to the situation in front of him, but how to choose is the matter of the Wei family master, no matter what, if I can do my best, I will do my best to protect the safety of your Wei Mansion." But after all, I only have one person, and my ability is limited, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of it, and it is best for the head of the Wei family to take the most important person in the house to me to know it, if there is any accident, Li can also make some trade-offs in a hurry. β
A moment ago, he was still talking about Wei Yuanzheng of yellow ginseng tea with relish, but at this moment, he was stunned by Shen Tong's series of words, Rao is he has been in charge of the Wei family for many years, it can be said that he is used to seeing wind and waves, and when facing this young man at this moment, there is still a feeling of not being able to breathe, and it is just a matter of closing the shop and recovering the personnel, and then the meaning of his words is even more direct, that is to say, this person has already prepared to abandon some of the Wei family's children in the worst case, and it is even possible to give up most of the Wei family just to protect a few core personnel, what a terrible decisionγ
And this person is a personal disciple sent by the old ancestor of the Wei family, that is to say, the old ancestor of the Wei family seems to have such thoughts and plans.
If it was just the previous words, I am afraid that the head of the Wei family still has some luck in his heart, and it is a little difficult to give up some of the family's properties, but Shen Tong's later words directly extinguished any luck and reluctance in his heart, and made him thoroughly understand how troublesome the situation in front of him was, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily in desperation.
