Dongyi's words made me feel creepy.

In fact, Middle-earth has long been aware of the anomaly in the weather this year, and the average temperature for the same period has dropped by about seven degrees compared to previous years.

And the temperature continues to drop.

In other words, this year will be a very cold winter, and it may even affect the weather next year.

In that case, the reduction of grain production in Middle-earth will really become a foregone conclusion.

Zhang Sanfeng said softly: "Xiaoice River period? ”

The Xiaoice period occurred four times in Middle-earth.

They were from the end of the Yin Shang dynasty to the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, the Western Jin Dynasty.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

Every Xiaoice period is accompanied by a dramatic change in the weather, reduced food production, displacement of people, and widespread starvation.

So peasant uprisings abounded, and war, the plague, the two freaks, followed.

Every Xiaoice period has basically experienced a sharp decline in population, and then a change of dynasty, without exception.

The situation was even more serious in the era of the end of the law.

Not only did the Xiaoice River change the climate, but it was even mixed with yin and yang chaos, and the demons danced wildly.

The Old Gods and the Spirits of the Drunken City have flocked to seize control of the land.

Who will have the leisure to grow crops then?

The food crisis predicted by Dongyi seems to be a real possibility.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed, Dongyi said with a smile: "I just summed up this point according to the laws of history, and it is not true." ”

"Now that science and technology are advanced and crop yields are high, maybe the Consulate has already had a solution, isn't it?"

I perked up and said, "That's right." Middle-earth today is not the feudal dynasty of the past. ”

"Agriculture is well developed, and material reserves are extremely abundant. You can think of it, and so can the people in the Consulate. ”

"We just need to do what we have to do!"

After finishing speaking, I stuffed all the steamed buns and eggs in my mouth, and ate them cleanly after dividing them by two.

Zhang Sanfen laughed: "That's right, why do you want to do so much?" Middle-earth is everyone's Middle-earth, and if you want to survive the difficulties, you have to rely on everyone's strength. ”

"We just need to deal with the hidden enemies for Middle-earth within the scope of our ability!"

In his position, seek his government.

We're just exorcists, and all we can do is fend off evil spirits.

As for other things, there are naturally professional people to do it.

As he was talking, suddenly a loud horn sounded throughout the Demon Suppression Pass.

On the radio, there was a heavy voice from Qian Bulai: "All the exorcists, come and assemble in the central square!" ”

The exorcists stuffed the food in their stomachs and walked briskly towards the central square in an orderly manner.

I looked down at my watch, and it was already seven fifty.

In a few minutes it will be eight o'clock.

It is also the time when the Exorcist Convention begins.

The exorcists all know that the critical time has come, and whether they will take the resources to eat and drink spicy food in the future, or struggle in the era of the end of the law, it all depends on today's conference.

At that moment, they put down their food one after another, leaving behind the messy tents and all kinds of household garbage and walked quickly towards the venue.

The venue for the Demon Suppression Pass was set up yesterday.

It was an open-air square, and in the center of the square, a red battle flag fluttered in the wind.

Above the battle flag, there is a row of solid wood seats, some of which are occupied by people, others empty.

When I looked closely, these solid wood seats were divided into three parts.

There are five chairs in the center, on which sit five middle-aged and elderly people in different clothes.

Judging by the name tags on their tables, it was the judges who were in charge of selecting the ten captains.

Among them, the money does not come, Mr. Hu, and I know Qi Zhengyi, who represents the Consulate.

Among the remaining three, a middle-aged man named Dang Patriot represents the Governor's Office.

One is named Murong Lianshan, representing the Supervision Department, that is, Qi Beyu's subordinates.

Five people, representing the four major governing bodies of Middle-earth.

He is also the winner of the Ten Captains this time.

There are ten chairs on the left, all of which are empty. It should be the seat of the selected captain ten.

The ten chairs on the right are all sitting on exorcists.

And all of them are well-known characters.

Zhang Sanfen said in a low voice: "Shaolin Temple Protector Monk, Master Shi Yongfu. ”

"Master Kawu of the Great Snow Mountain Temple in the Snowy Land!"

"Maoshan Shangqing faction Kong Mingzi Dao Chief."

"Longhu Mountain is a faction of Zhang Enjun Heavenly Master."

"South China Yin and Yang merchant Ji's firm."

"The grave keeper of the Hengduan Mountains, the blind old man."

“……”

The further he spoke, the more shocking the room became.

Shaolin Temple, Daxueshan Temple, Maoshan Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Yin and Yang Merchant, Tomb Keeper......

Each name represents a folk tradition of exorcism.

Strictly speaking, who among the folk exorcists has nothing to do with these genres?

Even the Zhang family of Taihang Mountain was born in the Buddhist line at the earliest.

And these people are all specially appointed guests of the Secret Bureau.

Seeing that there were more and more exorcists gathered around, the five judges on the stage also stood up.

Dang Aiguo took a step forward and said indifferently: "Everyone, be quiet! ”

He didn't use a PA device, but his voice was calm, but it echoed in the ears of every exorcist.

With just this hand, the entire venue instantly fell silent.

I was secretly shocked, this guy from the Governor's Mansion is a master!

I only heard the party patriotism say: "Now that there are less than three months before the end of the law era, after the discussion of the chief governor, the head of the Secret Bureau, the chairman of the ruling house, and the inspector general of the Supervision Office, it has been decided to open the first Middle-earth exorcist conference in the end of the law era. ”

"I, the party patriot, am responsible for presiding over the convening of this meeting, and Mr. Hu Lao of the Hidden Bureau and Councilor Qi of the Ruling House are responsible for cooperating."

"In addition, the security of the venue will be in charge of Mr. Qian Bulai, the demon envoy of Kyoto, and the order of the venue will be in charge of Murong Lianshan of the Supervision Department."

Mr. Hu, Qi Zhengyi, Qian Bu, and Murong Lianshan saluted everyone one after another, and then sat in their seats.

Dang Aiguo continued: "There are three things that have happened to the convening of this meeting. ”

"First, set up an elite ten squads, with resources provided by Middle-earth, to create a strong combat squad."

"Detailed questions about the responsibilities and belonging of the team will be announced to you next."

The exorcists in the audience were in an uproar.

Some people are happy to be in shape, and some people secretly clench their fists.

When it comes to money and resources, who in this land can compare to Middle-earth?

Isn't it just for these places and resources that everyone has gone to great lengths to come here?

Even if you can't get the captain of the ten-squad team, you have to find a way to join the squad.

Dang Aiguo ignored the commotion of the exorcists and continued: "Everyone, after the formation of the ten squads, there will be corresponding tasks to be issued. ”

"If the team is unable to complete the mission provided by Middle-earth, Middle-earth will cut off the team's resources and revoke the team's number."

Someone said loudly: "Captain of the tenth squad, how should I choose it?" ”

Dang Aiguo replied: "The Middle-earth Society will nominate ten exorcists who love this land, have upright hearts, and have high skills to serve as the captain of the ten. ”

"Of course, if anyone disagrees with the exorcist nominated by Middle-earth, they can question it in person. If you think you are more qualified than your opponent, you can challenge yourself with the consent of the five judges and the exorcist seniors. ”

"If you win, you can take your place."

Dongyi frowned slightly, and said softly: "What if the nominee is unwilling to be the captain?" ”

Everyone looked sideways, wanting to see who was such an idiot who actually asked this question.

Aren't you here to be the captain of the 10th squad, or to join the squad?

Will someone be so idiotic that they will be nominated and refuse?
