Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Wei Ran said: "Since the two fellow Taoists have this intention, it will make things much easier. As I said in my letter, we must find a good retreat for ourselves. It is an unchanging truth from ancient times to go before the soldiers and horses have food and grass. "

"In case the situation in Mubei changes, it is relatively convenient for people to evacuate, but it will definitely be difficult to transport so much materials in a short time. Therefore, we must first transport away the cultivation materials stored by the sect."

"A few days ago, I have discussed with the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. Their transport ship will arrive at Xingang in three months. We need to transport most of the sect's supplies to Duanjishanfang City before then."

"As for the price, from Xingang to Crescent Island, a total of five million spirit stones are required, including later transportation costs and storage procedures, etc. What do you two Taoists think?"

Shu Yunlan frowned slightly and said: "It's not that five million is unacceptable, but is the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce reliable? Although the supplies of the three sects of you and me are not much, they add up to tens of millions of spiritual stones. Suppose the Mubei Alliance attacks If Qinghai falls into their hands, will the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce be plundered by the Mubei Alliance?"

Wei Ran said: "The Mubei Alliance is mainly targeting Xuanmen. I don't think they will attack the chamber of commerce forces for no reason, not to mention that there are local chambers of commerce forces in the Mubei Alliance."

Shu Yunlan said: "Even so, Baoxing Chamber of Commerce, as a chamber of commerce organization in Qinghai, cannot leave this soil. It will naturally turn to them when the time comes. The Mubei Alliance hates our Xuanmen to the bone, so how can we guarantee that they will not What about directly confiscating the property stored by Xuanmen in the Chamber of Commerce?”

Peng Wanli said: "What Friend Shu said is not unreasonable. This is the material reserve we have accumulated over the years. If it is wiped out, even if the Demon Sect is defeated in the future, how can we rebuild the sect again? This matter cannot be done Carelessly."

Han Chongdao: "Whether the Mubei Alliance will attack the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce or force the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce to hand over Xuanmen's materials is not a matter of time. Xuanmen will not easily give up the strategic buffer land of Qinghai. ”

"Our top priority is to transport the materials saved by the sect. As for the future, we can discuss it at that time. If Qinghai really cannot hold on, we can transport the materials from Yueya Island to the interior of Qingzhou. This way No delay either.”

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "Just do what Fellow Daoist Wei said! Escort the supplies to Duanjishanfang City first."

Mo Yigan also nodded in agreement.

Luo Qingshui said: "In that case, after I return, I will immediately organize the sect's supplies and transport them to Guizong first, then to Shuiyun Sect, and finally to Duanjishanfang City."

Wei Ran nodded and said: "I would like each of our three sects to send some personnel to accompany the transport ship to Crescent Island to be responsible for the subsequent material storage."

Mo Yigan said: "After the materials are delivered, what should be the next step? Do you fellow Taoists have any good ideas?"

Wei Ran said: "We cannot place our hopes entirely on Taixuan Sect and those big sects. I would like our three sects to send a team to contact the various sects in Qinghai. I think they must be in panic at this moment. In the midst of anxiety, only by working together can we withstand this crisis.”

"If all the Xuanmen in Qinghai can advance and retreat together, even if they join the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance in the future, they will still have a foothold."

Luo Qingshui said: "I think this method is not appropriate, not to mention that it is time-consuming and laborious to unite the various Xuanmen. As the saying goes, talk softly and don't persuade others. You and I are weak and weak, and those Xuanmen in Qinghai may not want to see us. , If Qinghai Xuanmen needs to get together and advance and retreat together, we shouldn’t raise it.”

"Taking a step back, even if we can convince other Xuanmen in Qinghai to join them, with the strength of the three sects of you and me, wouldn't we be treated as cannon fodder? This is no different from joining the Qingzhou Alliance, and the strength of Qinghai Xuanmen It is different from Qingzhou Xuanmen, but it is different from Yunni."

Mo Yiqian said: "What Fellow Taoist Luo said is reasonable, but I also think this method is not appropriate."

Wei Ran said: "I wonder if these two fellow Taoists have any good ideas?"

Luo Qingshui said: "It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. The battlefield is changing rapidly and anything can happen. With the strength of our three sects, facing a battle of this level, it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated. If we want to continue the sect, the only way is to Try your best to avoid this war."

Mo Yigan said: "Since you and I belong to the Xuanmen, the sect qualifications are all issued by Taixuan Sect. With his order, all Xuanmen in Qingzhou must be under his command and control. How can we avoid it! If you don't listen to it Once the Taixuan Sect has taken away the qualifications of the Xuan Sect, we will really become the target of public criticism. Not to mention the Demon Sect, other Xuan Sects will execute us according to the law and kill them all."

Luo Qingshui said: "Of course we have to be commanded and dispatched by Taixuan Sect, but we don't have to join the battle completely. I intend to select some elite disciples to leave the sect, take away some spiritual stones and materials, and find a place to settle down and escape. This war."

"This can preserve a certain strength for the sect, and it will also have a certain foundation when the sect is rebuilt in the future. Even if the entire army is wiped out, relying on these people may be able to rebuild the sect in the future."

Mo Yigan pondered and said: "Friend Luo, this method is worth a try. Our three sects can act together. Each sect selects an elite team. Together they are a considerable force. I wonder if your sect has already started preparations?"

Luo Qingshui said: "We are currently planning. The number of people in this team is not large. We have initially decided on around a hundred people. Fifteen elite disciples will be selected from each hall in each courtyard, and five will be used to build the foundation and ten will be refined." The configuration of Qi requires excellent qualifications, loyalty and ability.”

"Disciples whose ancestors have been monks of the sect for generations are given priority because these people have a greater sense of belonging to the sect, which facilitates post-war reconstruction. In addition, it is difficult to cultivate those who are proficient in elixirs, talismans, weapons, formation flags, and skills, so bring more Ten people.”

"In addition to people, we will give them a quarter of our financial resources and materials to help them practice."

Wei Ran frowned slightly and said: "But once they leave the sect, they will lose the qualification to inherit the Xuanmen sect. If our entire army is wiped out by then, they will not be able to obtain the sect qualifications."

Luo Qingshui said: "The purpose of keeping them is to retain a trace of the sect's fire and the foundation for future reconstruction. If the whole army is destined to be destroyed, then what is the use of adding them? It is just a waste of time! Furthermore, everything depends on man-made efforts. As long as people stay, anything is possible.”

Mo Yigan said: "I agree with Fellow Daoist Luo's proposal. Judging from the current situation, it is most beneficial to retain some loyal and capable disciples and take away some of the sect's financial resources. Fellow Daoist Wei, what about you?"

Wei Ran pondered for a while: "As I said just now, at this critical moment, you and I, the three sects, must be in the same boat, work together, and advance and retreat together. Since both Taoist friends think that this is the most beneficial way, then naturally I have nothing to say."

The three Xuanmen sects of Xingang discussed how to deal with the upcoming war situation in Qinghai for about half a day, and finally reached a consensus. First, transport the materials of the three factions to the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce on Crescent Island, and then determine whether they need to be transferred to the inland of Qingzhou depending on the situation.

As for the evacuation of personnel, the decision depends on the attitude of Taixuan Sect and Qingzhou Xuanmen. The other three sects each select an elite team of a hundred people. On the eve of the evacuation, they leave the sect and hide outside to preserve their strength.

After everyone left the main hall, they went to rest in their prepared rooms under the leadership of Qingyang Sect disciples.

At night, outside the house where Luo Qingshui stayed, a ray of light came out, and the figure of a fair-faced man appeared. He knocked on the wooden door, and after getting permission from the people inside, he pushed the door open and saluted: "Senior Luo, palm." Please give me a brief introduction."

Luo Qingshui stood up and followed him out of the room. The escaping light rose up, and soon he came to a majestic and majestic cave.

In the main room, Wei Ran and Mo Yigan were sitting opposite each other, talking about something. Seeing Luo Qingshui coming in from the outside, Wei Ran stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo is here, please take a seat."

Luo Qingshui sat as he was told. He knew very well that Wei Ran invited him to his private residence late at night because he had some things that were inconvenient to say in front of everyone, and they were about some core things that only the headmaster of the sect controlled.

Sure enough, only Wei Ran said: "This time, I invite the two fellow Taoists to condescend to come to the humble residence because it is inconvenient to say something in front of other fellow Taoists during the day. Since the two fellow Taoists have agreed to send an elite team independently to In order to facilitate the reconstruction of the sect in the future, what should be done with the credentials and qualifications of the sect? Should it be handed over to this team, or should it continue to be with us? "

The certificate qualifications for the establishment of a sect refers to the sect license certificate issued by the four major sects. Only by possessing this thing can you establish a sect and become a Taoist organization. It is protected by the laws and regulations between Taoisms, otherwise it is an illegal organization. , Xuanmen will destroy it without anyone else taking action.

Qingyang Sect and Shuiyun Sect were originally small sects in Mubei. They later moved to Xingang and settled here. It was with the certificates and qualifications issued by Taixuan Sect that they were able to establish another sect in Xingang.

Nowadays, Qinghai is about to undergo great changes. No one can predict the future situation. Whether Xuanmen can hold the Qingzhou inland, and who will control Qinghai, no one knows.

As the cultivation island closest to the Mubei Grassland, Xingang will most likely fall under the control of the Mubei Alliance and lose its foothold. If you want the sect to continue, you have no choice but to move there, and the sect's credentials are has become a top priority.

Only by possessing this thing can one apply to Taixuanzong to establish another sect in another place.

But once this thing is lost, or the entire sect is wiped out, naturally no more sects can be established.
