Chapter 45: War!
Time passed day by day, and before I knew it, it was winter, and although the climate of the northern spirit mine was mild, there was also a little light snow mixed with rain and dew from time to time, and the weather became extremely wet and cold.
Since that day, Sun Hao has never seen Song Ling'er again during this time, she seems to have locked herself up, concentrated on cultivation, and didn't ask about outside affairs.
And during this time, the dispute between the three sects over the spirit mine became more and more cold like the weather.
At first, Qizhumen came forward to reconcile, wanting to be a peacemaker, and invited representatives of the three sects to negotiate, in order to resume the mining of spiritual ore as soon as possible.
But the Dian Jinmen didn't give any face at all, and the representatives of the Qizhu Gate and the Tianmei Sect braved the cold and waited for a long time without seeing a single person from the Dian Jinmen.
One of the Zhuji elders of the Tianmei Sect who was angry about this matter blocked the door of the Golden Gate and scolded, and even scolded the Qizhumen with him, so that the five elders who initiated this matter had a nose and a face that was not a face.
Well, since we don't talk about it, let's fight.
The three parties have been fighting around the spirit mine for a long time, today I will send twenty disciples, tomorrow I will send a foundation elder, and the day after tomorrow, the three parties will simply fight together in a daze.
This is a bitter pain for the disciples of the three sects, since the war has started, the disciples are always the first to be sent to the battlefield cannon fodder.
What were the casualties of Dianjinmen and Tianmei Sect, Sun Hao was not very clear. But taking Qizhumen as an example, the first eight squads, sixty or seventy disciples, plus a cadre of patrol and deacon disciples, and hundreds of disciples with an average cultivation of the fifth or sixth layer of condensation, could still run around and jump alive in the past few months, and fully thirty percent of them lost their lives on the battlefield.
Sun Hao also went to the battlefield twice, but fortunately, he was lucky, he was not fatally injured, and with the support of Li Fatzi's elixir, he was soon fine.
The five elders were also very angry during this time, and they lost their temper every day and asked the sect for reinforcements.
It is said that the sect has decided to send another hundred elite disciples and three foundation building elders to help in the battle, which is almost equivalent to half of the elite power in the sect, and it seems that the sect has also invested heavily in this matter.
On this day, the sky was clear, and the mild winter sun sprinkled on the ground, shining the remnants of snow left over from the previous days particularly dazzling. Several spirit eagles slowly flew from a distance with the sun's rays on their backs and landed in the station of Qizhumen.
The disciples were overjoyed, and it seemed that reinforcements from the door had arrived.
It was the reinforcement team sent by the gate this time, and the wide back of the Spirit Eagle was full, and there were hundreds of people.
Moreover, the cultivation of these disciples is obviously much better, and at a cursory glance, it is impossible to find a disciple who has cultivated below the fifth layer of condensation, and even the core disciples who have cultivated to reach the ** layer of condensation.
The disciples who came out to see the excitement were naturally relieved when they saw that the reinforcements were so powerful this time. But Sun Hao, who heard the movement, sank, and he saw the two people he didn't want to see in the door again.
Two of the three Zhuji elders sent by the sect this time knew Sun Hao, one was Feng Dewei, who hated Sun Hao because Sun Hao had made him lose face, and the other was the Seventh Elder who forcibly seized Sun Hao's elixir that day.
One of these two people has a prejudice against Sun Hao, but the other suspects that Sun Hao has some ulterior secrets, and Sun Hao naturally doesn't want to see the two.
But the deployment of the elders in the foundation building period was naturally not something that Sun Hao could decide, so he had to hide his figure in the crowd so as not to be noticed by the two.
But it backfired, Feng Dewei glanced around, and saw Sun Hao dodging in the crowd at a glance, squinted his eyes, and didn't cause any trouble, just glared at Sun Hao fiercely, it seems that Feng Dewei has not let go of the things of the day.
Several Zhuji elders did not stay for long, and were welcomed into the hall by the five elders to discuss matters, and only the deacon disciples arranged a cadre of disciples.
Fang Zhan, who was standing next to Sun Hao, smacked his lips and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there are so many elite disciples in the door, why can't I see them in the door." ”
Sun Hao shook his head, he was still thinking back to Feng Dewei's glance, thinking about how to avoid Feng Dewei's revenge, hearing Fang Zhan's words, he smiled and said: "Senior Brother Fang, why should you be inferior, you have been training here for a long time, naturally you don't know the changes in the sect, and it is natural for more disciples to come out." ”
"Besides. Sun Hao continued, "Senior Brother Fang Zhan has the same cultivation as those core disciples, and he has a few more years of experience than them, really compared to it, I still think Senior Brother you have the upper hand." ”
Fang Zhan smiled noncommittally and did not speak.
Sun Hao saw that he was smiling happily, so he quipped: "Senior Brother Fang, you are smiling so happily, but I think of Senior Sister Qin again, I don't know when I will be able to drink the two of you'll be able to drink the happy wine." ”
It turned out that the two finally confessed their affection in front of everyone, and naturally received the blessing of all the members of the sixth team.
Fang Zhan's old face flushed, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter yet, let's talk about it when we return to the door, and then talk about it when we return to the door." ”
Seeing his embarrassment, Sun Hao couldn't help laughing, and the haze in his heart was slightly dispelled.
Li Fatzi also came out of place at this time, it turned out that he had been standing behind the two of them for a long time, and after listening for a long time, he jumped out and said: "When Senior Brother Fang marries Senior Sister Qin, you must find me to be the master of ceremonies, I will definitely use my connections in the door and call a bunch of people to help Senior Brother Fang, so that your wedding day will be lively and lively, and it will become a good story in the door." ”
Fang Zhan's old face turned even redder, and he scratched his head with a smile, not knowing what to say.
Li Fatzi and Sun Hao and the members of the sixth squad had a hot fight during this time, such jokes have become commonplace, Fang Zhan has long been accustomed to it, and Sun Hao is also happy to see such a scene.
It's just that Li Fatzi's cultivation has always made him a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Li Fatzi never leaves his mouth with pills every day, and in the past few months, he has knocked a lot of pills alone, but he has not been promoted.
Now even Sun Hao has faintly touched the level of the sixth layer of condensation, but the third layer of Li Fatzi's condensation has not broken through, which makes Li Fatzi almost crazy.
Just when a few people were chatting happily, the bronze bell where the disciples gathered in the door suddenly rang, making a crisp sound, and several people looked at the council hall in some surprise, not knowing what was going on.
About half a pillar of incense had passed, and all the old and new disciples had gathered in front of the door of the council hall, not knowing what the new elders had to announce.
Everyone stood still, and after a while, they saw several elders standing up, the seventh elder walking in the middle, several elders faintly centered on him, and the five elders who were in charge here did not have any displeasure on their faces.
I saw the Seventh Elder take a step forward, looked at the disciples below, and said with a smile on his face: "Presumably, most of the disciples know who I am, so Elder Ben won't introduce himself much." It's wartime, everything is simple, and I won't pay attention to any etiquette, but I have called you here because I have two things to announce to you. ”
The Seventh Elder paused for a moment, looked at the somewhat puzzled expressions of the disciples below, and said with a light smile: "This first thing is that I have been appointed by the head of the sect to serve as the manager and elder here, from today onwards, all matters in this place must be reported to me, and all disciples' entries and exits must be strictly checked, do you have any objections?"
All the disciples glanced at the five elders who were there with some surprise, and seeing that he had not objected for a long time, they knew that the matter had been discussed by several elders, so they said in unison: "We will obey the elder's decree!"
The Seventh Elder nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Very good, then I will announce the second matter, I have decided that in three days, I will start a full-scale battle against the Dian Jinmen and Tianmei Sect, and I must take the full mining rights of the Spirit Mine within seven days!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples below completely exploded, they didn't expect these seven elders to issue such a rigid task since then. This has been fought intermittently for several months, and there is no reason to come out, and now it is said that it is going to take the spirit mine in half a month, or to start a war with the two sects at the same time! This sounds quite fantastical to the disciples.
The Seventh Elder also knew that this was a bit unbelievable, so he waited quietly for a while, and waited until the disciples finished discussing it before he spoke: "I know that everyone can't believe it, but if you think about it, we are now strong and strong, and we are ahead of them in terms of numbers, whether it is disciples or elders, why don't we dare to fight with them." ”
All the disciples looked at the Seventh Elder with some strange expressions, and some of them were already a little moved.
The Seventh Elder continued: "If we don't take advantage of the current strength to defeat this war, then when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, then we will lose the opportunity, and this war will become a long-term and protracted war. ”
"Because of this, I have made the decision to attack in three days, but it is not enough for me to have faith, what I need is the concerted efforts of all the people in the whole gate to accomplish this feat, so I have written a wartime ordinance to spur you on, and I hope you will remember it. ”
Feng Dewei, who was standing on the side, heard this, took out a jade slip from his arms, took a step forward, cleared his throat and read: "The first order of the wartime regulations is that all Qizhumen disciples should go all out to meet the enemy in wartime, but anyone who is afraid of war, traitorous to the enemy, and who spreads rumors will be killed......!
Feng Dewei recited nearly a stick of incense before finishing it, and there were more than 20 in total, all of which were bloody, which made the disciples feel a little frightened when they heard it.
Seeing everyone's expressions, the Seventh Elder naturally understood what everyone was thinking, and smiled and said: "Don't be too afraid, everyone, this regulation is only for those who dare not meet the enemy, as long as everyone can bravely kill the enemy, this elder will naturally not be punished, on the contrary, there will be a reward." ”
The Seventh Elder cleared his throat and continued: "As long as you can kill the enemy's disciples below the sixth level of Qi Condensation on the battlefield, with their sect token as evidence, you will be rewarded with twenty spirit stones and one mid-level magic weapon; those who can kill disciples above the sixth level of Qi Condensation will be rewarded with one hundred spirit stones and one high-level magic weapon; if you can kill the enemy elders, you will be rewarded with one thousand spirit stones and one top-level magic weapon!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples all exploded, and their faces showed joy, they didn't expect the reward to be so rich, but it was worth a fight.
Sun Hao was not carried away, and said secretly with a frown: Although the spirit stone magic weapon is good, it also needs to have a life flower, so how can the elders of the foundation building period be killed by the disciples of the Qi Condensation Period.
But now that the crowd is high, he can't say anything, but he secretly said in his heart, if he goes to the battlefield, he still has to save his life first, and the rest have a chance to talk about it.
The Seventh Elder nodded with satisfaction, looked at the excitement of the crowd, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Everyone, the rise and fall of the sect, the hegemony of the thousand autumns, is here to fight! Are you ready?!"
"Fight! Fight!"
