Chapter 26: Pull you along the way
The fiery sun slowly rose from the east of the horizon, and the entire eastern part of the sky seemed to be ignited, and the red, bright light sprinkled the land, and a new day began.
The square at the entrance of Lingquan Village was already crowded with people, and almost all the people in the village had come here, which had never happened before, because today was the day of the Eight Villages Meeting, and it was the first time it was held.
Fortunately, the square is big enough, and so many of them only occupy a quarter. Quan Zhengdao and the two old men sat at the front, Lin Ying and Quan Ling'er stood next to the village chief, and the others stood behind them.
All of them were facing the outside of the village, their eyes fixed on the direction of the entrance of the village, and their expressions were serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Liang Yidao, the head of Liang Village, came with fifty clansmen to attend the meeting of the eight villages, and by the way, he visited the head of Lingquan Village. ”
Before anyone could be seen, a loud voice came from afar, powerful and powerful, resounding in everyone's ears.
"Welcome to Mr. Liang. Quan Zhengdao said to the front, his voice was not as loud as Liang Yidao, but the penetrating power was also quite strong, even if the other party was far away, he could hear it clearly.
"Haha. The other party did not reply, just a hearty laugh.
After a while, a group of people appeared in their field of vision, led by several people each riding a unicorn, seemingly walking slowly, but soon came to the front.
"Brother Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Izumi greeted him with a smile.
"How is Brother Quan lately?" Liang Yidao got down from the unicorn and walked towards Quan Zhengdao with a smile.
He is burly, broad-shouldered, broad-shouldered, and his eyebrows are tightly embedded in a face of Chinese characters, although he looks only forty or fifty years old, but because he is also the head of the village, he is called a brother by Izumi Zhengdao.
"The old decay is still strong, and it should be no problem to live for another fifty years. Haha," Izumi said jokingly.
"I think so, haha. Liang Yidao also smiled.
The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. Their smiles are very sincere, and it can be seen that the relationship between the two should be good.
"Brother Quan, do you know why this meeting of the eight villages was held?" asked Liang Yidao.
"I know as much as you do, and wait and see. Izumi shook his head.
"Well, Bei Village has also discussed this matter with me, we have to be just in case, Bai Shen's guy is not a good bird, and the fifty people I brought are all elites of our village. Liang Yidao reminded.
Izumi stroked his beard slightly, nodded slightly, and then made a gesture of please. So Liang Yidao led the people towards the side of the square, which was close to the camp of Lingquan Village.
After a while, the people of Bei Village also came, and they also brought fifty people, all of whom were elites. They occupied a position on the other side next to the camp of Lingquan Village.
Lingquan Village, Liang Village and Bei Village are three villages located on the west side of Lingquan Lake, Lingquan Village is in the middle, and the three villages have always been good friends, because Quanzheng Road is the strongest, and the three villages faintly have the meaning of Lingquan Village as the leader.
After a while, a group of five people came to the front of the village, each riding a unicorn, three of them smiling, and the other two with serious expressions and fierce eyes.
The five unicorns under them walked leisurely into the village, looking light and breezy.
When Quan Zhengdao saw these five people, his expression immediately became solemn, he stood up, and his bright eyes stared at the person wearing a tiger skin coat and a tiger skin hat in the middle, this person had eyebrows like horizontal knives, eyes like stars, and a mouth full of beard, it was Bai Shen.
On his left and right were Xiao Ba, the village chief of Quandong Village, Li Jian, the village chief of Baoquan Village, Bai Shen's son Bai Sheng, and Xiao Ba's son Xiao Nan, thinking that if Chopin did not die, he would also appear among them.
Poshang Village, Quandong Village and Baoquan Village, the three of them used to be relatively close, and later Bai Shen cultivated out of the Water Gate, and his strength increased greatly, and the three villages faintly had the meaning of being headed by Poshang Village.
There were only five people from the three villages, Quan Zhengdao's brows furrowed slightly, the other party dared to do this, and he was full of confidence.
On behalf of Lingquan Village, Quan Zhengdao welcomed the arrival of the three village chiefs and the clansmen. Quan Zhengdao said with his fists clenched.
"You're welcome. Ha ha. Bai Shen said loudly, the five people clasped their fists at the same time, and then the cong unicorn slowly walked down, and the three village chiefs sat down in the opposite direction of Quanzheng Road, while Bai Shen and Xiao Nan stood behind them.
"I'm sorry, I'm entangled in village affairs, I'm a little late, I hope it's still too late, haha. At this time, two smiling white-haired old men came to the entrance of the village, they were the two village chiefs of Quanbei Village and Quannan Village, and they didn't even bring anyone.
Lin Ying has naturally heard of these two villages, these two villages are located on the north and south sides of Lingquan Lake, and they are some distance from other villages, plus they have no quarrel with the world, so they get along with each village relatively well, and they are at ease in handling things.
However, it is now an eventful season, and four villages have been attacked by mercenary groups recently, including these two villages, so they guessed that this meeting might discuss this matter, so they came to take a look, otherwise with the indisputable character of these two village chiefs, they would not bother to bother with this eight-village meeting.
"Wherever and wherever you are, welcome to the two village chiefs. Ha ha. Quan Zhengdao said with a smile, although these two villages are not from his side, but fortunately, they are not from the side of Poshang Village, so he is still very polite between words.
Soon, all eight village chiefs came to the square and sat down, and surrounded the city in a large circle.
At this time, Xiao Nan lowered his head and said something in Xiao Ba's ear, and then the eyes of the two looked in the direction of Lin Ying at the same time, Lin Ying seemed to feel something, and also aimed his eyes at them.
"Don't be afraid, with grandpa here, they don't dare to do anything. Quan Ling'er saw them staring at them and comforted Lin Ying beside her.
"Hmm. Lin Ying nodded.
"First of all, thank you village chiefs for giving Bai this face to participate in this eight-village meeting, our eight villages stand around the lake, although the distance is not far, but it is the first time that eight village chiefs have gathered together, haha. Bai Shen, the village chief of Poshang Village, was the first to stand up and speak.
"Without further ado, this time I summoned all the village chiefs here for one purpose. Saying this, Bai Shen stopped, glanced at everyone, and then continued: "I propose to form the Eight Villages Alliance. ”
"Hachimura Alliance?"
"We're each doing well, why do we want to engage in the Eight Villages Alliance?"
"Doesn't that mean that the eight villages are going to be merged into one?"
.......
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of discussion began.
"Quiet. Quan Zhengdao shouted, and then he continued: "Brother Bai, the old man doesn't understand. ”
Bai also knows that for countless years, our eight villages have been living independently. Everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it, and there is no hatred and dispute between us and the outside world, and there seems to be no need for any alliance. Bai's proposal is indeed a bit abrupt, everyone is puzzled for a while, and it is difficult to accept, which I Bai Shen can understand. ”
"But the past is the past, the present is the present, and the environment we face has changed. ”
"What changes?" someone asked.
"This matter started three years ago, do you remember the vision that came out of the mountains three years ago?"
As soon as he asked, everyone's thoughts went back to the night three years ago, that night, there were mountains in the deep mountains that were shining, shining brightly, the night turned into day, the fierce beasts ran wildly, the giant birds screamed, and then the mountain cracked, and a black light emerged from it, as if to break free from the shackles of the mountain.
Later, Lin Ying's master, Lord Kyushu God, suddenly appeared, and saved the crisis with the help of Lin Ying's Yiming Sword, which was also damaged and his grade was reduced. But happily, the god of Kyushu, who had been upside down all day, regained his consciousness and remembered who he was, and he said that his name was Hua Yuzun.
Many people don't know what happened next, but most of what they think of is the strange scenes that happened in the mountains that night, and the horror of the fierce beast riot.
"After the vision, many mercenary groups went deep into the mountains to look for opportunities, believing that there must be some treasure in the mountains. In the past three years, more and more mercenary groups have come here, and their strength has become stronger and stronger, they are different from the mercenary groups that have come in the past, they are unscrupulous, I think in the outside world, they must be hired by people with great power. ”
"Our peace has been shattered, a year ago I took people to the mountains, and I was attacked by a mercenary group, and before Quandong Village and Baoquan Village were also harassed outside the village, I think it won't be long before they may even attack our village. ”
"Therefore, I discussed this matter with Village Chief Xiao and Village Chief Li, and we unanimously suggested forming an alliance of eight villages to jointly defend against the enemy. And I heard that in the 10 days since I proposed the Eight Villages Conference, four more villages have been attacked by them, and it seems that the situation is more urgent than I thought. ”
