Suddenly, a sound was heard outside the tent.
Invite me to discuss matters? Zhou Qing walked out of the tent, looked at the disciple who came to look for him, and asked:
"Which elders are they? Did you say what it is about?"
The man replied, "It was Elder Tong, Elder Wei, and Elder Gao. I don't know what the specific matter is, but someone has gone to invite Senior Sister Zhuge and the others."
"Um."
Zhou Qing nodded, "I understand."
At this time, he had just returned to the tent for about an hour, and all the exhaustion and fatigue brought by the battle last night no longer existed.
After asking about the meeting place, Zhou Qing went straight there.
Through the door of the tent, one could directly see the scene inside. Seeing that Zhuge Yingyue and the others were already inside, Zhou Qing walked straight in.
Sitting in the main seat, the elderly-looking Elder Tong saw Zhou Qing and immediately smiled and said:
"The pride of my Xuandu Temple is here."
"Meet the three elders."
"Sit down."
Zhou Qing sat next to Zhuge Yingyue, after all, their seats were similar.
After sitting down, Zhou Qing looked inside the tent. In addition to the three elders, there were a total of seven true disciples including himself.
There should be eleven people who are following the Xuan Du tradition at the border battlefield, but four of them are missing now.
"The barbarians attacked last night, and you all fought against them. You were all brave and brave, and you did not lose the reputation of Xuandu Temple. This is very good."
Elder Tong first praised the seven people, "Especially Zhou Qing, your performance has reached our ears."
"The ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple is a sharpshooter, and many people are talking about him now."
"Elder Tong, you are too kind."
Zhou Qing said modestly: "I just did what I should do, I dare not take credit for it."
Generally speaking, the status of Xuan Du's true disciples is no worse than that of the elders, and is considered to be on par, not to mention the top ten true disciples like Zhou Qing. The status of ordinary elders is not as good as theirs.
But someone like Elder Tong, who has practiced in Xuandu Temple for nearly a hundred years, is not only an elder, but is undoubtedly also an elder to the young disciples.
Apart from anything else, the age difference alone is there.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with praising Zhou Qing and others from the perspective of elders and seniors and speaking in such a tone. After all, they are all good words, and Zhou Qing and others have no objections.
Xuandu Temple is, after all, a famous and upright sect. While it emphasizes strength and status, it also emphasizes reason. It is definitely not a completely barbaric ecology.
Of course, this situation will only occur under the premise that everyone is happy.
If an elder relied on his age to point fingers at Zhou Qing, put on airs, act like a senior, and boss him around, Zhou Qing would ignore him.
Elder Tong looks kind and sincere, so Zhou Qingjing is an old senior.
As for those who act arrogantly and point fingers at others, they are considered old guys in Zhou Qing's eyes.
You pretend to be in front of me, I really give you face.
What is your status and my identity?
To the left of Elder Tong, the middle-aged Elder Wei said, "You personally participated in a war last night and saw the cruelty of the war."
"And things like this will continue to happen in the future. The barbarians will not retreat and the war will not stop."
"We must keep as many barbarian lives as possible at Tianmen Pass and beat them hard!"
"But apart from that, there is something more important, which is to stop the barbarians from sacrificing the lives of our human soldiers to the demon god. Those who want to please their damn immortal god with the lives of our human people are just dreaming."
The Immortal God is the name given by the barbarians to the devil they believe in.
The main reason is that this immortal god has existed for too long. According to the records of the barbarians, he is the supreme demon god who appeared with the barbarians and has lived to this day.
Deserve immortality.
However, masters from other tribes suspected that this Immortal God might refer to more than one individual.
In other words, He is definitely not a God in the conventional sense, but another kind of living entity that is invisible and difficult to understand in this world.
After hearing what Elder Wei said, Zhou Qing and the other seven nodded.
Indeed, this is the most important thing.
In a war between two races, there is no real winner.
But as long as the human soldiers who died in the battle can be removed from the "altar", it is hard to say whether the human race will win or not, but the barbarians will definitely lose completely.
At that time, they can only please the devil by being barbarians, and they will suffer the consequences.
At the same time, Zhou Qing also realized that the reason he asked them to come to discuss the matter was probably to discuss this matter.
"To stop the barbarians from worshipping the devil, there are many things to do and many conditions to be met."
Elder Tong said: "The masters of the human race in the Biluo Tongtian realm are working hard, and we are also working hard, and there are also some things that need you to do."
"Not only you, but the true disciples of other forces also have the same responsibility as you."
"Only if most of the links are successful can we make the barbarians return empty-handed."
"Elder Tong, please tell us. We will do our best to do it."
"Yes, it is our duty to destroy the barbarians' plan!"
Zhou Qing and the others were not surprised at what Elder Tong said.
Sending these true disciples to the border battlefield naturally means that they have important tasks to do. It is impossible to keep them like soldiers and fight with the barbarians only in wartime.
To be honest, this vast battlefield, this cruel meat grinder, does not lack the power of one or two Xuan Du masters in the front.
In the battle between hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, the power of a Xuandu Zhenchuan is negligible. Can you really expect a practitioner in the Xiansheng Xisui realm to kill his way through the battlefield alone? He would never do that in his dreams.
But if it is about some special things, people like Zhou Qing can play a greater role.
That is what they should really do, which is more meaningful than killing hundreds of enemies at a time.
It would be a waste if all of them were kept at the front line. Some things were far more important than fighting with the barbarian soldiers on the front battlefield.
Only they are the most suitable to do it, and in the realm of the Holy Marrow Cleansing Realm, only they have the ability to accomplish it.
Soldiers fight against soldiers, generals fight against generals, and Zhou Qing and his friends are roles other than soldiers and generals.
"I don't know what you need to do either." Elder Tong said, "Every step and every task of the counter-sacrifice is secret and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Even the counter-sacrifice method changes every time and is different from the last time."
"We all have our own responsibilities. We try our best to do our own things and strive to complete the parts we are responsible for. Don't ask about other people's tasks, and don't try to reveal your tasks to others."
"Of course, even if you wanted to reveal it, you couldn't. Even after the war is over, it needs to be kept secret."
"Each mission is formulated and issued by a human expert at the Biluo Tongtian realm. During this process, we only summoned you to conduct some inquiries. We cannot spy on any mission information. The experts at the Biluo Tongtian realm will make the final decision."
Zhou Qing and the other seven were all surprised. They had not expected that the method of reverse sacrifice was kept so secret and came directly from a master of the Biluo Tongtian realm.
This person is undoubtedly an absolute top figure among the human race.
Obviously, they are very cautious because they are afraid that someone will leak the information and be known by the barbarians and targeted.
Zhou Qing even thought of more. Since the content of your mission is only known to you, you cannot reveal it to others.
So who can be sure that what you are doing is really related to the method of reversing sacrifice? Because you cannot communicate with others, verify each other, and do not know what the overall method of reversing sacrifice is, and you have no idea which part of what you are doing.
Or maybe...
None of the links?
Perhaps, there will be many tasks that are actually smokescreens, which are specially used to confuse outsiders. They have nothing to do with the method of reverse sacrifice. Even if they are destroyed, they may not have any impact.
In this situation, information is not connected to each other, everyone has his own responsibilities, and each person only knows his own business. It can be said to be true and false, real and fake. Who can tell the difference?
It can be said that it is extremely cautious.
Elder Tong said again:
"Although the method of reverse sacrifice is very important, you don't have to do it all. We still need to leave a few true disciples on the front battlefield to lead the way and set an example."
"So whether you want to stay on the front line or go on the mission of counter-sacrifice, you can choose freely."
Staying on the front line is not about how many enemies they can kill, but about setting an example.
It would be inappropriate for such a large Xuandu Temple to have no true disciples showing up on the front line battlefield to fight with the enemy.
Those who don’t know would think that I, the true disciple of Daxuandu, am afraid of death.
It can be said that the true disciple who chooses to stay on the battlefield and lead by example is equivalent to receiving a mission.
Mission content: Kill enemies on the front line, boost morale, set an example, and demonstrate character.
Zhuge Yingyue and the others all expressed their willingness to contribute to the method of reverse sacrifice.
Finally, Zhou Qing was the only one who hadn't spoken yet, so everyone looked at him, only to see that he looked a little hesitant.
"Zhou Qing, do you have any questions?"
Elder Tong said gently: "Don't think too much. No matter what choice you make, you are contributing to this war."
"Three elders, I have a question."
Zhou Qing asked: "If I carry out tasks related to the anti-sacrifice method, will there be many chances to kill the barbarians?"
"If possible, I would like to ask the seniors in the temple to carry out the mission of killing as many barbarians as possible."
“…”
Zhuge Yingyue was speechless.
Why is this junior brother always thinking about killing the barbarians? What is the hatred and grudge between him and the barbarians? The barbarians are lucky to have you.
The others were also stunned. They didn't expect Zhou Qing to make such a request.
How could you be so hateful of evil?
So passionate?
"Hahaha."
Elder Tong suddenly laughed, and then said:
"For this question, you need to ask those seniors yourself."
"Well, now that you have made your choice, let's get on the Hengyu ship and go meet them."
"But some of you will probably be assigned to stay on the front battlefield. Just follow the instructions when the time comes. You are all making contributions to the human race."
Having said that, everyone still wants to do more important things.
This will better highlight their abilities and give them greater credit.
After leaving the tent, Shi Yi walked beside Zhou Qing, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Zhou Qing smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Shi, is there anything that cannot be said between you and me?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi did not hesitate and said directly: "Brother, although I don't know what hatred you have with the barbarians."
"But you still can't be reckless!"
Zhou Qing's attitude, as if he and the barbarians are mortal enemies and that it's either him or me, really makes people think too much.
Shi Yi was really afraid that Zhou Qing would be blinded by hatred one day and go straight into the grassland to kill...
The other five true disciples also looked at Zhou Qing, very curious about how deep his personal grudge was with the barbarians.
Seeing their expressions, Zhou Qing remained calm.
I have no way to explain this question, nor do I need to explain it. All you need to know is that I am the vanguard of killing barbarians.
"I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the border will be peaceful."
Zhou Qing sighed lightly, left his back to everyone, and walked towards the Hengyu ship first.
Some of the true disciples couldn't help but stand in awe when they heard Zhou Qing's words.
The Hengyu ship was the flying artifact that brought Zhou Qing and his companions to the border.
By now Zhou Qing already knew that it was actually a war artifact, but its war posture had never been revealed.
The value of this ship is so high that it is unimaginable.
The glowing steps extending from the Hengyu ship had not disappeared, which was convenient for Zhou Qing and his party at this moment. After climbing up the steps, they explained their purpose to the elders who stayed on the ship, and were then taken to meet the heavenly realm master of Xuandu Temple.
When they arrived outside a quiet room, before the leading elder could speak, a female voice was heard from inside.
"Zhou Qing, come in. The others please wait outside."
"yes."
The remaining elder responded respectfully and motioned Zhou Qing to go in.
When I opened the door of the quiet room, it was very bright inside.
Zhou Qing walked in and the door behind him closed automatically. After taking a few steps, he saw a cushion behind two separate curtains. A woman was sitting on the cushion, looking at him.
The woman has bright and sharp eyes, an aggressive appearance and a unique beauty.
"Meet Vice Abbot Shen."
Before coming, they already knew who they were going to meet.
It was Shen Yuanning, one of the three deputy masters.
If I had met such a deputy master in a private setting in my previous life, I would have been careful not to use the title of deputy, but to directly call him master. After all, using the word "deputy" always sounds awkward...
But in Xuandu Temple, with that immortal here, who dares to overstep the boundaries? Even if the master of Xuandu Temple doesn't care, the majesty of the immortal cannot be offended and needs to be paid attention to.
"Zhou Qing?"
Shen Yuanning spoke, his voice was clear and powerful, which made Zhou Qing's divergent thoughts converge.
"The disciple is here."
"Don't be restrained."
Shen Yuanning looked at Zhou Qing. He looked quite good, but he really didn't look like the old man at all...
"You came here to prepare for the anti-sacrifice."
"Disciple does have this intention."
Zhou Qing asked again: "But disciple has some ideas."
Because before leaving, the master of Shuiyue Peak had told us that if there were any problems that were really difficult to solve, we could come to the deputy master.
From this, it can be seen that the Lord of Shuiyue Peak is likely to have some connections here.
That's why Zhou Qing tried to put forward his demands directly. After all, there is a relationship.
"Oh? What's the idea?"
Shen Yuanning did not react. She was not the kind of person who did not allow others to express their opinions.
"I wonder if there will be any missions that will allow us to fight with the barbarian masters, or even have the chance to kill them?"
Zhou Qing said: "I want to kill as many barbarian masters as I can deal with, so as to relieve more worries on the battlefield."
When Shen Yuanning heard this, she felt strange in her heart. She could see what was going on.
The current ninth true disciple of Xuandu Temple is a little restless.
Jian Jun and the others wanted to keep him in Xuandu Temple and not let him take risks here.
As a result, he had to come to the battlefield.
I had originally thought of taking care of him, giving him a slightly safer mission, or just letting him stay on the front line, but I didn't expect him to make such a request, wanting to take the initiative to cause trouble for the barbarians...
Any mission involving barbarian masters or requiring fighting with them means greater danger.
This week, you should not do anything that is not exciting or dangerous, right?
"This is very dangerous, are you sure you want to do it?"
"Yes, I am not afraid of danger. I am confident that I can ensure my own safety."
Zhou Qing said righteously:
"And some things need to be done by people. If I don't do it, it will fall on other disciples."
"They can bear the danger for the sake of the anti-sacrifice method, and so can I."
We are all disciples of Xuandu. Others can take risks, and so can I. I will never be special! For the sake of the human race, for justice! Very good, very spirited! Shen Yuanning looked at Zhou Qing with a little more appreciation.
Your spirit is commendable. You are an outstanding disciple of my Xuandu Temple.
"There is a mission that meets your requirements, but it is also full of danger because it requires leaving Tianmen Pass and entering the grassland to complete it."
Shen Yuanning said: "The barbarians are extremely active on the grassland border at this time, and the defense is very tight. You may encounter barbarian soldiers at any time after you enter."
Entering the grassland means entering the territory of the barbarians.
Needless to say, there will be many opportunities to fight with barbarian masters.
At that time, you were an exception.
"If you accept this mission, I will give you a disguise treasure and prepare a fake identity for you, so that you can change your appearance and enter the grassland."
"But you have to think clearly. Treasures like this are not perfect and there is a possibility that flaws will be discovered. In non-war periods, Xuandu Temple has also been infiltrating the grasslands, but many of its disciples have been found out and sacrificed."
"If my true identity is discovered at this moment, I don't need to explain the consequences."
Change your appearance and enter the grassland...
After just a little thought, Zhou Qing made a decision in his heart.
"Deputy Master, I do!"
He is familiar with things like changing identity.
Without being modest, is there anyone in the world more suitable for doing this kind of thing than him?
Others who want to carry out this task need to change their appearance and disguise their identities.
But let Zhou Qing do it...
Excuse me.
At that time, Zhou Qing of the human race had died, and the only one alive in the world was Zhou Qing of the alien race! Others were pretending to be aliens, but I could really be an alien.
This task is perfect for him.
In fact, Zhou Qing had just thought about this when he arrived at Xuandu Camp yesterday and learned that there was a mission to gather intelligence.
Now this is just a coincidence.
Shen Yuanning looked at Zhou Qing deeply.
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. If you complete it, I'll personally count the credit for you."
A jade slip and a space bag appeared and floated in front of Zhou Qing.
"The jade slip contains the mission content, and the space bag contains everything that will be used in the mission."
Shen Yuanning said: "Before setting off, you still need to have a detailed understanding of the barbarian tribes behind this war."
"So when do I leave?"
"The next barbarian attack."
