"I never thought about it." Chen Shouyue looked at Chu Qiu frankly: "Have you ever thought about who would choose to cultivate?" ”

"Want to be stronger, pursue a higher realm, and master more resources?" Chu Qiu replied casually.

"These are all appearances. In fact, the most fundamental reason why people choose to practice is their own heart. Chen Shouyue pointed to his chest: "When the heart changes, the Tao can change." Now the society is much better, and many people can cultivate in the world at the beginning, but in ancient times, if you let a high-ranking official and noble give up high-ranking officials and Houlu, let a rich man give up thousands of acres of fertile land, and have a beautiful wife and concubine, follow you into the mountains to cultivate, and keep a bunch of rules and precepts, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"So the change of people comes from dissatisfaction with the status quo. I have no money and want to make money. The official is small, and he wants to be a big official. All sentient beings hope that they will have smooth sailing, no illness and no disaster, and a lot of fame and fortune. ”

Chu Qiu quietly listened to Chen Shouyue's words, this is a cultivator who has really grown from nothing and from weak to strong. Compared to him, he is just a nouveau riche, which is why Chu Dong has imposed many restrictions on him.

"In our Heavenly Sword Palace, miscellaneous disciples can practice in the world, once they want to get started, they must cultivate in the mountain gate. If nothing else, it's just to hone your state of mind. When Chen Shouyue said this, he glanced at Chu Qiu deeply: "The mood is not enough, the advancement is too fast, and it is very easy to go crazy." Therefore, those who really want to break through the divine realm are often unhappy, but they are very stable. ”

So, what kind of person would put aside all worldly pursuits and embark on the path of spiritual practice? The obvious answer is that the world is no longer in their eyes. They have no pursuit of the world, only needs. ”

"No wonder you can sign a treaty and let the secular war go regardless of it, it turns out that as long as the secular exists, you just need to concentrate on cultivation and break through the divine realm." Chu Qiu took over the conversation: "And when a cultivator embarks on the path of cultivation, he is destined to be lonely, his former parents, wives and children are getting old, and the only thing that accompanies them is himself. They also only believe in themselves. ”

"Yes. If you want to build an army of cultivators to fight for the dragon and the Han, this is impossible in the first place. At most, they guarantee the reproduction of the Longhan nation. Second, practitioners are free and unfettered, so how do you formulate military laws and command the three armies? The most important point! Chen Shouyue looked at Chu Qiu's clear eyes: "Have you ever considered the idea of the Longhan government?" ”

When Chu Qiu heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his back. He forgot that the army is the source of government power, and it is also the reverse scale of the country! The formation of an army by the cultivation world is tantamount to a sword of Damocles to the Longhan government! At that time, the first person to jump out against himself should be Chu Jun!

The two fell silent. Chu Qiu once thought that with Chu Dong's power, he could ignore anyone, but now, he finally found that he was just an ordinary person, he still had to face seven emotions and six desires, and in the face of the turmoil and pessimism in the world, what he needed to face was precisely himself.

"Let's go, it's going to be a meeting again." Chen Shouyue received the news and pulled Chu Qiu up: "The matter involves the Radiant God Sect and the Dark Council, and the Longhan government wants our religious association to attend the meeting. "What about Fuyang Island?" "I have already informed Xu Mu and Tang Tang to stay, in addition to you and me, there are also Ling Xuzi and Kong Miao who will participate in the meeting this time, and the others will stay on Fuyang Island." Chu Qiu pulled Chen Shouyue and teleported to Yuanjing Jiulong Avenue. At this time, Yuanjing was already under martial law throughout the city, and there were dense patrols on both sides of the road. The two people who suddenly appeared on the wide eight-lane road of Kowloon Avenue naturally got dozens of black hole muzzles...

After verifying Chen Shouyue's identity, a company commander drove a jeep and sent them to the Yuanjing Hotel. In the conference hall, Sun Mu, Kong Qi, and Xiao Changqing were sitting in danger. Chu Qiu entered the door and glanced at the three of them, snorted coldly, didn't say hello, and sat down by himself. Ling Xuzi and Kong Miao took a floating light boat, and they will arrive later. Chen Shouyue saluted the three of them.

"The Hidden Land Empire's open door policy has been placed in front of you, and the relevant departments have sorted out the main points, so please read them."

Chu Qiu picked up the document in front of him and flipped through it. The Open Door Policy was a policy of rule over Fuyang Island led by the Hidden Land Empire, and the Hidden Land Empire, the Templar Alliance, etc., recognized the "sphere of influence" of the Dragon Han in Fuyang Island and the privileges they had obtained, and demanded "equal benefits". The main contents of the "open door" policy are: fully opening the borders of Fuyang Island, the Hidden Land Empire, and the Templar Alliance can choose any city as a concession for a period of 99 years; Fully open the Fuyang Island market and allow foreign capital to enter without any restrictions; The Cult of the Radiant God and the Dark Council are free to preach on Fuyang Island, and on this basis, they are willing to recognize Long Han's sovereignty over Fuyang Island.

Chu Qiu closed the file, closed his eyes and recuperated, Ling Xuozi and Kong Miao also arrived at this time, looking at the document, and the three of them discussed it in a whisper. The three Sun Mu on the opposite side seemed to have already reached a preliminary result, and they had been waiting for the discussion on the religious association's side to end. Chu Qiu knocked on the table, "Okay, that's all there is to it." Let's listen to the opinions of the three leaders first. With that, Chu Qiu looked at Sun Mu seriously.

Xiao Changqing cleared his throat, still with an official smile: "Our government has already made a preliminary decision. We have decided to add an article to the open door policy, all foreign personnel operating on Fuyang Island must be subject to the administration of the Longhan government, and the concession is only a concentrated residence for foreigners, not a country within a country. ”

"So, you completely agree with these three?"

"Huh. I would like to discuss this third article with you. Xiao Changqing picked up the teacup and stared at the four people opposite. From their demeanor, we can see the clues. Chen Shouyue's eyes were lowered, as immobile as a mountain. Although Ling Xuozi and Kong Miao were also very calm, when Chu Qiu spoke, their eyes would unconsciously look at Chu Qiu. Chu Qiu's opinion seemed to be very important. Thinking of the previous conflict with Chu Qiu, and when Long Yan complained about the military department, Sun Mu and Kong Qi's faces were gloomy.

"Since the three leaders have informed you of your thoughts, then I will also report on the current situation on behalf of the religious association." Chu Qiu waved his hand, and a holographic map of Fuyang Island appeared in the air. Chu Qiu pointed to Fuyang Island and said, "Just now, our religious association joined forces to destroy the Shenyang Sect and the large and small cultivation forces on Fuyang Island, and the addresses of the various sects and sects have been selected. All the sects opened on Fuyang Island are under the management of the Fuyang Island branch of the Heavenly Sword Palace, and only the sects allowed by the Heavenly Sword Palace can cultivate on Fuyang Island. As for the Cult of the Radiant God and the Council of Darkness, let them go back wherever they come. ”

"Chu Qiu, why did you say such a thing?" Sun Mu opened his mouth to suppress people: "Master Chen hasn't spoken yet, what qualifications do you have to be the master of the Heavenly Sword Palace?" ”

"Chu Qiu's opinion is my opinion." Chen Shouyue raised his head and said loudly: "Chu Qiu will be the sect master of the Fuyang Island Branch of the Heavenly Sword Palace in the future, and his status is equal to mine, and he can act on behalf of the head of the Heavenly Sword Palace. ”

"You!"

"What's the matter, the military also has to interfere in the internal affairs of my Heavenly Sword Palace?" The sharp sword intent tore apart Sun Mu's aura and directly pressed against him. "Chu Qiu, you continue."

"Okay. I have already rejected the third article, and as for the first two, we have also rejected it. Chu Qiu smiled and said his decision. Ling Xuozi and Kong Miao hugged their arms, this would be impossible to open.

"Chu Qiu, you are bold!" Sun Musheng blushed: "This is a matter of secular power, do you want to interfere!" ”

"I have no intention of meddling. But your attitude has disappointed me again and again! Chu Qiu put away the map of Fuyang Island: "Retreat again and again, fear of battle again and again. If we were the same, I'm afraid the territory of Longhan would have been carved up long ago! How will the Shenyang Sect be destroyed? ”

"What do you want?" Kong Qi got up: "Could it be that you... ”

"Since the founding of the country, Long Han has not seen a sword soldier for a hundred years. I'm afraid you have forgotten that this dynasty is a country built by force! It is true that the army has a duty to protect the family and defend the country, but is it eaten by you to expand the territory? What I want to do is for the Dragon Han army to face the Templar Alliance and the Hidden Land Empire alliance under our protection, and awaken my Dragon Han martial spirit with blood. ”

"No!" Sun Mu shouted loudly, but under Chu Qiu's forced gaze, he couldn't say a reason.

"Is it impossible, or don't you dare? I know that I can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. Just like you, if you don't dare to fight, there are 10,000 reasons not to fight. I don't want to hear these reasons. You just need to tell me to fight or not to fight? ”

"What if we don't want to fight?"

"Then change the three who want to fight, and those who dare to fight come up. You know, there are so many people who want to sit in your place. Again, I never mind going through the cracks. Chu Qiu took out Chen Shouyue's Heaven Annihilation Sword: "I used this sword to kill the Demon God of the Hedao Realm on Fuyang Island, and killed countless disciples of the Shenyang Sect. Do you want to try my sword? ”

Kong Qi and Xiao Changqing stood in place dumbfounded. They looked at Chu Qiu, unwilling to admit it but had to believe that if they refused, Chu Qiu would really kill them. The two of them pulled up Sun Mu, who was lying on the chair: "Chairman Sun, you have something to say about the army." Sun Mu gritted his teeth: "Since the head of Chu Qiu said it, then we will do it." There is only one, I think the commander of the combat army will be served by you Chu Qiu. Take a good look at the last battlefield and take a good look at whether the war is as easy and casual as you think! ”

Chu Qiu drew his sword and split the conference table in half with a single sword. "I want to use this battle in exchange for ten years of peace between Longhan and Fuyang Island! Ten years later, Long Han is by no means the current Long Han! Look! ”
