The four deputy hall masters are the standard configuration of the temple, and theoretically, the seventeen top elders have a chance.

But I just don't announce it, and I say in the name of it: listen to his words and watch his deeds.

This listens, this view......

Hehe, that's up to you.

Based on the wonderful traction of the title of deputy hall master, the seventeen top elders have been really obedient in the past three days, gathering in the council hall every day, with a diligent appearance, and they will never dare to disobey Zhang Weikong, because the configuration of the deputy hall master needs to be nominated by Old Man Zhang, and if you annoy him, you will lose this precious opportunity.

According to the Zhang family, the family only focuses on the bones, does not use their brains, or disdains the inheritance of using their brains, Old Man Zhang really didn't have this idea at first, his idea was the opposite, he wanted to choose four deputies for the first time, and let these four deputies help him do things with the "grace of support", but someone stopped him and asked him to stop.

Today's situation is the result of that person's secret guidance.

Lin Su and Ming Tianyan went straight into the council hall, it seemed that it was just a trivial matter......

There are so many things going on in the temple, and how many people are concerned about a normal visit?

However, the situation in the temple was destined to be unexpected, and Lin Su's visit, for the first time, smashed a stone on the seemingly calm river, causing ripples to rise to the triple heavens.

Almost all the saints are paying attention!

Bai Ge, Luo Wuxin is also paying attention through the chessboard......

Next to him, as usual, is Junyue.

has walked a lot and experienced a lot of things, and among the people he trusts, there is still only Junyue.

"Meet in the council hall!" Jun Yue said: "Is this a declaration that he and Lin Su have no personal relationship?" ”

Luo Wuxin nodded lightly: "It is also because they know that at present, Lin Su's every move, the saints are paying close attention." ”

Jun Yue sighed softly: "A young man, a young man whose title is only a regular one, every move embodies the attention of all the saints...... Childe, do you think this is a curse or a blessing? ”

"Whether it is a blessing or a blessing varies from person to person, from time to time, from situation to situation, at this stage, this is at least not a blessing!"

The council hall is infinitely deep and infinitely high.

Lin Su entered through the gate, and everything in the outside world seemed to be completely cut off all of a sudden.

Behind him, there was a starry sky, and in front of him, there was a long passage.

At the end of the passage, there was the temple master Zhang Weikong, and on both sides, there were seventeen top elders.

Lin Su bowed slightly: "Chang Lin Su, see the hall master!" ”

Destiny Tianyan also bowed: "Elder of the Heavenly Mandate Palace Destiny Tianyan, see the hall master!" ”

Zhang Weikong nodded slightly: "The two of them are quasi-saints, and they have the qualifications to sit in the council hall and discuss the Tao, take a seat!" ”

Silently, a green jade chair appeared behind the two at the same time, simple and solemn.

"Thank you!"

Lin Su and Ming Tianyan sat side by side, their seats were opposite to the hall master, but they were ten zhang apart, and on both sides, there were top elders.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Su said: "The unintentional catastrophe is about to start, the time is only three years, and hundreds of billions of people in the seven countries and thirteen states are about to fall into the absolute predicament of broken mountains and rivers and difficult to survive the avenue, dare to ask the elder group if they ever know?" ”

The expression on Zhang Weikong's face instantly became condensed.

The expressions of the top elders on both sides were also condensed.

God testifies, this is the biggest problem that Zhang Weikong faced after taking over the position of the head of the temple, and it is also the problem that the top elders have discussed the most in the past few days, no matter how much of their own position they have before, on this issue, no one dares to expose their little abacus, and they are all trying to explore the right way to break the situation.

Zhang Weikong's eyes slowly raised: "Unintentional catastrophe, the Heavenly Dao will collapse, and the Holy Dao will not survive, this is the biggest haze above the heads of hundreds of billions of people, Lin Changxing, can there be a clever way to deal with it?" ”

Lin Su said: "The magic strategy can only deal with the current situation, and it can't deal with such a catastrophe, under the catastrophe, there is no magic strategy, only struggle, gather the consensus of all members, gather the blood of all members, change the destiny of heaven against the general trend, and rebuild the way of heaven with the will of all beings, that's all!" ”

"Reverse the general trend and change the destiny of heaven, and rebuild the way of heaven with the will of all beings!" Zhang Weikong muttered: "Well said! How do you want to do that? ”

Lin Su said: "The first step at the moment: the western expedition!" ”

"Expedition to the West?" Zhang Weikong's half-black, half-white long beard trembled slightly......

"Exactly, outside the city, the 100,000 miles of demon domain must return to the hands of the human race, and the defense line of the human race to resist the unintentional catastrophe must be set on the shore of the unintentional sea, otherwise, this level of great war will sweep thousands of miles away, and the human world will endure an unprecedented catastrophe."

The council hall was completely silent......

What Lin Su said is simple, but anyone can understand the crisis behind it.

The unintentional catastrophe has long been the consensus of the top management of the temple, and it must be blocked and cannot be avoided, because you can't avoid it at all.

No matter what kind of school it was before, no matter how many small abacus there were, in the face of the unintentional catastrophe, all of them were sparse, once the catastrophe started, the way of heaven will collapse, the holy way will be destroyed, and the saints who are high above will become the ashes of the troubled times, not to mention this heaven and earth, hundreds of billions of living beings.

So, on a larger level, there must be a consensus of resistance.

What about the specific operational level?

Lin Su's westward expedition is the most effective means.

Set the Terran defense line on the Wuxin Coast, so that the big war will not affect the people, so it is imperative to go west.

An elder on the left exhaled a long sigh: "What Lin Changxing said is indeed reasonable, but if the western expedition starts, it will inevitably exhaust the power of the temple, and the sky outside the sky will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Fate Tianyan's heart moved......

Is the chess piece that was buried in the early stage used today?

Lin Su had already pacified the outer heavens, but the news had never been spread, and only three people on their side knew about it, she, Lin Su, and Bing Sheng.

Even the few saints who advanced and retreated with them in the later period didn't know.

Now it's time to go.

However, Lin Su's answer exceeded her prediction.

Lin Su said: "This expedition to the west, there is no need for the temple's combat power, and the temple's combat power can still defend the outer heavens at this stage." ”

"Oh?" An elder on the right frowned: "In that case, what does Lin Changxing want to ask the hall master for?" ”

Yes, not for the soldiers of the Temple, but for what?

Lin Su said: "What the students are asking for is just an instruction from the temple!" ”

"Is there a conquest order issued to all countries?" Zhang Wei Kongdao.

"It's not just a battle pass, it's also a bounty order!" Lin Su said: "This is a temple bounty order drafted by the students, please look at it by the elders to see if it is appropriate." ”

With a slight lift of his hand, a piece of gold paper was in the air, enlarged, and a bounty order unfolded in the council hall......

"The unintentional catastrophe is coming, the extraterritorial strongmen are coming, and the 100,000 miles of demon domain outside the state will become a great disaster for the seven countries and thirteen states, therefore, this side of the world, hundreds of billions of people, all have the responsibility of eliminating demons, in order to inspire the world, the temple specially issued a "reward order" ......"

The foreword was ignored by everyone at a glance......

The focus is on the specific clauses that follow, which is unique......

Anyone, regardless of the way of literacy, martial arts, or cultivation, as well as monks, Taoists, or ordinary beings, everyone can go to Guancheng and participate in the Western Expedition.

Those who participate in the Western Expedition bring a scoreboard, and the demons killed, the monsters hunted, and the strange treasures obtained can be entered into the scoreboard.

What is the use of points on the scoreboard?

Referring to the practice of killing demons in Guancheng, and also referring to the practice of killing demons outside the sky, points can be freely exchanged for silver, but their extension is enlarged, not only to exchange for regular wealth, but also to exchange for Wenbaotang heavenly treasures.

It's at the individual level, at the national level, and it's also tied to points.

All the people who go out of a country will be summed up in points in exchange for the next scientific examination year's Jinshi, Wenshan, and Wentian.

That is to say, the traditional practice of allocating seats according to the size of the country will be abolished, and the quota will be directly calculated based on points......

All the elders looked at each other, all shocked by this unique "Bounty Order......

It's not that the temple has never issued a "bounty order", but how can there ever be such a bounty order? The biggest irregularity of this bounty order is that it subverts the previous way of configuring the position, and everything is determined by military merit.

The benefits are obvious......

Because the number of jinshi that countries care about the most is directly linked to their own points, whether it is the royal family or the court, they must respond, otherwise, you will be the sinner of the whole country, and the foundation of your ruling will be completely shattered.

At the same time, points can also make individuals.

With points, you have everything, wealth, status, kingship, and temple high-end rewards that are unparalleled......

It can be said that this bounty order binds the whole world!

The consensus that is the most difficult to build in the world will be condensed in the blink of an eye, and it is foreseeable that it will be extremely stable - it can be put on the table, enter people's hearts, and the interests can be seen and touched.

However, the elders also felt a faint sense of unease......

The elder on the right said slowly: "Confucianism and Taoism rule the world, based on benevolence, and Lin Changxing this reward order, tying all the people in the world to the warship, purely using military merit as a strategy to govern the world, is it a bit too radical?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it instantly resonated, and some elders also woke up like a dream.

Yes, Lin Su's reward order is essentially the way of soldiers, everything depends on military merits, isn't it that the way of soldiers binds the seven countries and thirteen states? Or even tied up the temple?

Is this another level of avenue competition?

Lin Su said: "Confucianism and Taoism govern the world, based on benevolence, it is indeed good, but benevolence is also divided into big benevolence, small benevolence and pseudo-benevolence!" The great benevolent, protect this way of heaven and protect the lives of hundreds of billions of people; Ignoring this point and talking about the strategy of governing the world is all hypocrisy! ”

The elder's face changed suddenly......

Lin Su's hand was lightly raised: "This elder doesn't want to discuss with me at this time, there is no intention of the catastrophe, and Confucianism also knows it, so there is no need for the elder to talk about Confucianism." ”

There was a deathly silence.

Confucianism knows what to expect, and there is no need for elders to talk about Confucianism!

Of course, this sentence is not respectful, but, like his previous actions, it is not leaky.

Zhang Weikong's eyes flashed: "The "Reward Order" proposed by Lin Changxing is of great importance, beyond the scope of the palace's decision. The main hall will consult with the elder body, and the results of the deliberations will be presented to the three heavens for the saints to decide. There is no need to argue in front of you. ”

"Yes!" The top Confucian elder stood up and bowed.

This is an alleviation for him.

If he is allowed to fight, he may not really win, at this moment, it is best not to fight for this.

Lin Su said: "So good! There is another matter, please don't ignore the hall master......"

Zhang Weikong said: "What's the matter? ”

Lin Su said: "If the reward order is passed, the hall master should immediately summon the Tianxia Pavilion, go west, and the Tianxia Pavilion should immediately follow, lay down a piece of territory, and establish a Confucian Temple, so as to encroach on the situation of whale swallowing, and complete the grand strategy of 'conquering and governing' the Terran territory." ”

Zhang Weikong nodded lightly: "This is inevitable, as long as the plan for the western expedition is passed, there will naturally be regulations for the establishment of the Tianxia Pavilion Confucian Temple in the follow-up plan." ”

Lin Su said: "The students specifically mentioned the establishment of the Temple of Literature, because of the painful lessons of the Western Expedition a thousand years ago, the hall master and the elders must know that a thousand years ago, the human race had already laid down a territory of 80,000 miles, and had set up 3,000 temples of Literature, however, the Temple of Literature was destroyed one after another, resulting in the territory laid, in just a few years, all of them fell, this time the Temple of Literature was rebuilt, you must pay attention to a magic eagle!" ”

"Eagle?" Zhang Weikong's eyes raised.

Lin Su said: "The student just went to Guancheng in the early stage to visit the Spirit Clan, and the Spirit Clan relied on the secret technique to leave the image of the destruction of the ten Confucian Temples, all the elders, you might as well take a look!" ”

His hand lifted slightly, and in the palm of his hand was a leaf.

Very ordinary foliage.

But, suddenly, the leaves gave rise to an extraordinary image......

On top of a Confucian Temple, an eagle appeared, and on this eagle's body, the demonic energy was vertical and horizontal, and the Confucian Temple was destroyed with a slight flap of its wings......

One and two......

Up to the ten......

Exactly the same scene.

The faces of all the elders changed in unison: "There is even an image left!" ”

"Yes, in addition to the destruction of the Temple of Literature on the same day, the Holy Venerable of the Three Heavens has also inquired, but on that piece of ruins, the image remains have been eliminated by the other party's saint, and it cannot be traced, the spirit clan ...... Can the Spirit Race be traced? ”

Lin Su shook his head: "This is not retrospective!" The Spirit Clan set up a method of exploration in advance, and recovered it before the other party eliminated the traces, and only after 3,000 secret methods were used to recover ten secret leaves, and we also successfully cracked this great secret. ”

Zhang Weikong said slowly: "This demon ...... It must be holy! The saint-level demon of a thousand years ago should still exist today! ”

"That's nature, so the students reminded the Tianxia Pavilion that when the Temple of Literature is set up, it must be prevented from reappearing."

All the elders nodded in unison.

Ming Tianyan frowned slightly, and also spoke: "What kind of way is this demon, has the spirit clan explored it?" ”

It was the first time she had spoken today, because she was a little worried.

A thousand years ago, this demon destroyed the three thousand Confucian Temple, obviously a saint-level, a saint-level demon, it is normal to live for thousands of years, it is not normal if it does not exist, as long as this demon is still there, then, there will be a huge variable in the new Confucian Temple, not only the Confucian Temple is difficult to establish, even if it is established, the town temple inside is more than a person, and there is a huge danger.

In this case, I'm afraid that the Tianxia Pavilion will really be afraid.

If the doubts of the Tianxia Pavilion worried about their own lives can not be dispelled, maybe the Tianxia Pavilion has different intentions, the Tianxia Pavilion is not an ordinary Pavilion, it is a transcendent Pavilion, once it is based on the doubts of its own life, trying to destroy the Western Expedition, the great plan of the Western Expedition may be variable from the beginning.

"According to the analysis of the spirit clan, this demon should come from the Forbidden Jungle, but what kind of monster it is is unknown, but we can check it in another way......"

Zhang Weikong's eyes lit up slightly: "In what way?" ”

"Zhou Tianjing!"

Ming Tianyan's eyes also brightened suddenly: "Zhou Tianjing can capture its body through this layer of qi?" ”

"This mass of demonic qi is just qi in front of him, and it can't be condensed into a qi essence core, and Zhou Tianjing can't capture it, but there is a record in "Heaven and Nine Lands" that in the place of heavenly dao birth and death, there is a different root named 'phantom spirit root', which can gather Zhou Tian's qi and turn it into a qi essence core, I just want to ask the hall master, can anyone know, where is the 'phantom spirit root' in the world?"

Zhang Weikong shook his head slowly: "This hall is also well-read, but I really don't know this name, what about you?" ”

An elder on the left shook his head: "I don't know." ”

An elder on the right said: "I have also seen the "Nine Heavens and Nine Lands" that Lin Changxing said, and I have also seen this record, but I have not heard of the phantom spirit root anywhere in the world. ”

An elder under him said, "The phantom spirit root was born in the Heavenly Dao birth and death land, where in the world is the place where the Heavenly Dao is born and destroyed?" Maybe only at the boundary of the Heavenly Dao, could it be that you still get the deepest part of the Heartless Sea? ”

"It may not be the deepest part of the Heartless Sea, the outer heaven and the foreign land, isn't it also the place where the Heavenly Dao is born and destroyed? It's a pity that the temple still knows too little about the foreign land......"

When this elder said "Heaven Outside the Heavens", Ming Tianyan sensitively noticed that Lin Su's eyes lit up.

But his eyes lit up slightly, and his brilliance immediately disappeared.

Lin Su bowed: "I came to visit today, and on this matter, the hall master, I hope to speed up the discussion, and I can't wait!" ”

Zhang Weikong stood up: "Lin Changxing cares about the overall situation of the world, which is really convincing, and the main hall immediately convened all the elders to discuss this matter!" ”

Lin Su bowed again: "The student retires!" ”

Ming Tianyan also bowed, and the two of them left the council hall, walked out of the door of the council hall, and rose into the air in one step......

On Sanssouci Mountain, in front of the blue water pool, Lin Su and the fate of Tianyan fell from the sky, a tree of purple camphor branches swaying, in the crystal clear pool water faintly flowing through the purple shadow thousands of weight.

With a slight stroke of Ming Tianyan's hand, the fog seemed to be stretched in front of them, and an elegant cave appeared in front of them.

This is the worry-free residence where Tianyan has lived for 800 years, and it is also a cave built by her own hands.

Her hand was raised slightly, and the cave was separated like a curtain, and inside was a small pavilion, as if in the wilderness, outside the small pavilion, there were three green bamboos, and inside the pavilion, there was a coffee table.

On the coffee table, the tea is fragrant, which is the worry-free tea brewed in worry-free water.

A cup of tea was handed to Lin Su: "Today's trip, you expect to have a certain chance of success." ”

After they left the main hall of the temple, they came directly to this room without discussing it halfway.

In itself, it shows the seriousness of the matter that fate is about to be discussed.

Although following Lin Su's side, theoretically you can isolate all detection, but only in the worry-free residence built by yourself, can you really rest assured, this seems to be a setting in the forbidden heart of the temple that has been walking alone for eight hundred years.

Lin Su flicked his hand lightly, and the curtain outside was filled with holy light.

This one is another layer of protection.

And it is a relay protection with fate.

It also confirms Lin Su's prudence from the side.

Lin Su took the teacup: "The possibility of the temple fully accepting my plan for the westward expedition is absolutely impossible at this stage!" ”

"You know it's impossible?"

"Of course!"

Lin Su's overall plan seems to be extremely thorough, taking into account both the country's position and personal interests, if implemented, it will naturally be able to integrate the seven countries and thirteen states from the royal family to the cultivation path.

However, this is not possible.

Why?

Because this is a typical military thinking, this is the whole country is a soldier, and this is the complete militarization of the seven countries and thirteen states.

One might say that in the face of an exotic invasion, shouldn't it be completely militarized?

Should!

However, you need to see the logic behind it......

The seven countries and thirteen states have been completely militarized, the temple has been completely militarized, and military merit has almost become a "universal hard currency", which can be exchanged for gold and silver, cultural treasures, official positions, and even the most sacred Jinshi quota, what does it mean? It means that the way of soldiers is respected!

Can the rest of the ways agree?

How can it be?

But......

Ming Tianyan frowned: "You know that your proposal will not be approved, why do you want to put it forward?" ”

Lin Su held the teacup in his hand and rotated gently: "Because human nature has inferior roots, if I put my minimum requirements out now, people will raise objections, and I will ask for extremely wild, people's psychological bottom line will take a big step back, and then accept my minimum requirements." ”

"As far as I know, the way of gambling is indeed like this, just like the sky-high price in the world, pay back on the spot, but you are not afraid that your wild proposal will arouse the extreme disgust of others, so that you will break up?"

"No!" Lin Su said: "There are all kinds of negotiations in the world every day, and some of the negotiation conditions are too high, which will indeed make the negotiations break up, but the current situation will not, because in this game, we both sides do not have the capital to break up, and we must reach a consensus, the difference is in the bottom line of consensus establishment, whether it is beneficial to the overall situation." ”

Ming Tianyan nodded in approval: "The unintentional catastrophe is coming, the top level of the temple must reach a consensus, your bottom line ...... Where the hell is it? ”

"I just need them to identify with the Western Expedition and participate in the reconstruction of the Temple of Literature after the war."

Ming Tianyan said: "You really don't need the temple to send troops, or even need the temple to issue orders?" ”

"No, you don't!"

"Bounty Order...... Not even more needed? ”

"At least...... Not at this stage. ”

Ming Tianyan's heart moved slightly: "What do you mean...... In the future, will it still be needed after all? ”

"I also hope that this day will never come, but unfortunately, there are signs that this day will come!" Lin Su exhaled softly.

Ming Tianyan's face also slowly sank: "On the day when the Unintentional Tribulation really comes, we really need all the soldiers in the world!" ”

"Yes, this proposal in front of me can be sealed for the time being, but I also hope that through this proposal, such a concept will be implanted in the hearts of the sages of the temple, don't think that this proposal is really so wild and unimaginable, and one day, it really needs all the soldiers in the world!"

Sanssouci is quiet......

Ming Tianyan's gaze slowly fell on the green bamboo: "The unintentional catastrophe, it's only been three years, three years, compared to my more than 800 years of seclusion, it seems to be just a short moment, but now that I think about it, I actually feel that it is a very distant thing, isn't it strange?" ”

"Not surprising! Your remoteness is not a concept of time, but a gap in state......"

"A journey of a thousand miles, starting from silicon steps, things in the future, don't want to think about it for the time being, let's come back to the topic...... Do you expect your minimum requirements to be approved? ”

"There's no reason why they shouldn't approve!" (End of chapter)
