Late at night, Longmen Ancient City is as bright as day, and countless refugees from the Western Regions are moving toward Tianying Pass in the southeast like ants moving.
They have received the notice issued by Zhao Zian that all the refugees gathered near Yumen Pass can enter China and seek refuge through Tianying Pass.
Now countless human warriors in the north are fighting to the death with the enemy, trying to buy them time to move.
Wang Keke led more than a thousand disciples in red to select young people with better qualifications.
Tens of thousands of children were gathered together, all eager to be chosen.
After several hours of selection and Dugu Changfeng's request, Wang Keke finally selected 12,000 children from the tens of thousands of refugees.
These people are not very old, the youngest is only six or seven years old, and the oldest is only twelve or thirteen years old.
Gui Xuan Sect has developed rapidly in recent years, but after the distribution of the magic weapons brought by Ye Xiaochuan from Northern Xinjiang, Gui Xuan Sect's development encountered a bottleneck and began to stagnate.
Ye Xiaochuan has not recruited high-quality young people from the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang for a long time.
Longtianshan knows how to refine weapons, and cultivators can obtain magic weapons by fighting.
Guixuanzong's second wave of development plans has also been put on the agenda.
Ye Xiaochuan couldn't be contacted, so Wang Keke discussed it with Long Tianshan several times.
Now everyone knows that the red-clothed evil ghost comes from the five tribes in southern Xinjiang and the four major families in western Hunan. Yu Jizi has already intervened, and it will be very difficult to recruit disciples from southern Xinjiang.
After several discussions between Wang Keke and Long Tianshan, they decided to shift the direction of Gui Xuan Sect's future recruitment of disciples to the Western Regions and grasslands.
The people of the Western Regions, just like the people of the Middle Earth worship the Righteous Sect, they all worship the Holy Fire Sect.
Since the Demon Sect has a broad mass base in the Western Regions, the resistance to Gui Xuan Sect's recruitment of disciples in the Western Regions will be much smaller, and it will also be much easier to brainwash these new disciples in the future.
Unlike the people of Middle-earth, who have been brainwashed by the righteous for many years and regard the Holy Fire Sect as an evil heretic, Ye Xiaochuan's reputation is also bad in Middle-earth. It is very unrealistic for Ghost Xuanzong to recruit disciples in Middle-earth at this time.
Twelve thousand people is the maximum number of people that Qilin Mountain and Wushan Jade Slip Cave can bear in a short period of time, so tonight Wang Keke selected 12,000 children from the Western Regions at Longmen.
Wang Keke made it very clear to the relatives of these children that the selected children would be taken to the Holy Sect Guixuanzong for training and would become a cultivating immortal in the future.
None of the children's relatives objected.
They don't care what their children will become in the future, they just want to protect their children's lives.
When a catastrophe strikes, these young children have no ability to protect themselves.
Since the old man said that if the child follows him, he will have food to eat, save his life, and become an immortal of the Holy Religion, then let the old man take the child away.
The chosen child and his relatives cried with joy.
The children who were not chosen were scolded by their parents and relatives, asking them why they gave birth to a waste like you.
Dugu Changfeng looked at Wang Keke with tears in his eyes and said: "Grandpa, Changfeng, please, they are all my friends, take them all away, Uncle Ye will definitely agree.
If we don’t take them away, they will definitely die!”
Wang Keke looked at the wailing children and shook his head: "Grandpa also wants to take these children away. Unfortunately, most of them are not suitable for practicing Taoism. We don't have enough energy to take care of them. Don't worry.
, since China has decided to take in these people from the Western Regions, they will not die, and when they arrive in the pass, the court of China will properly resettle these people."
Dugu Changfeng still wanted to continue begging Wang Keke, but Hu'er came over and took his hand.
Hu'er said: "Changfeng, please don't cause trouble to Grandpa Wang. You are not a god. You cannot save everyone. Now that so many people follow Grandpa Wang to teach the Holy Art, it is already a gift from God!"
Dugu Changfeng shed tears and shouted: "I don't care! These people are my friends and soldiers of my Changfeng Legion. I can't leave my soldiers behind! Grandpa Wang, if you don't take them away, neither will I."
Let’s go! I’m going to wait here for Uncle Ye to come back!”
Qin Guichen came over with a rolling pin and touched Dugu Changfeng's butt.
She said: "Changfeng, if you don't go back to the house to pack your things, what are you doing?
Hu'er, take Changfeng back to the inn!"
Dugu Changfeng was in pain and screamed, "I won't leave! Even if you beat me to death, I won't leave either!"
Wang Keke had a way to deal with Dugu Changfeng and called Ge Ling who was integrating the youth team.
He said: "Geling, I'll leave your junior brother to you. We'll set off in an hour. If he still cries, I'll take it from you."
Ge Ling was a little reluctant, holding his junior brother by the back of his neck and walking towards the inn.
Said: "Junior brother, you have also heard what the deputy sect master said. Don't make it difficult for me. If you cry again, I will beat you."
Dugu Changfeng struggled and said: "How dare you!"
Ge Ling said: "I am your senior sister, my eldest sister is like my mother. It is only natural for me to beat you. If you don't believe me, just cry and try."
As he spoke, Ge Ling showed an evil and cruel smile.
Her smile made both Dugu Changfeng and Hu Er feel cold in their hearts.
Neither Wang Keke nor Qin's courtiers could intimidate Dugu Changfeng, but Ge Ling made Dugu Changfeng become more honest with just a few words.
In fact, Dugu Changfeng is a very sensible and strong child. He rarely loses his temper and rarely sheds tears.
This time, all the trouble was for the children who were not selected by Wang Kexuan.
The refugees are all old and weak, women and children, and there are tens of thousands of boys and girls near Longmen at the moment.
Wang Keke only took away one third, which made Dugu Changfeng feel very sad.
Under the influence and education of Ye Xiaochuan for many years, Dugu Changfeng has also become a person who values friendship very seriously.
Many of his friends who studied and herded sheep with him were not selected by Wang Kexuan, which made Dugu Changfeng very sad.
That's why this came about.
The chosen sons of heaven were quickly integrated. They would be escorted to the south by the disciples in red. The first step would be to Huochi City, thousands of miles away in the south, and then a team would come from southern Xinjiang.
, take them away.
The parting scene was very sad. The relatives of those young people kept crying and kissing their children.
"Child, remember, your name is An Shanming. You come from the An family lineage of the nine surnames of Zhaowu in Yinshan. Your father is..." "Girl, you must keep this piece of cloth! Your name is on it.
, ancestral home..." "Stay alive, live for your father and mother..." All adults know that this farewell is almost an eternal farewell, and it is almost impossible to see their children again in this life.
But in order for their children to survive, no one paid attention to the children's cries and cruelly pushed the children away.
For some younger children, their relatives constantly tell them the names of their parents and where their ancestral home is.
Some adults keep wearing tokens on their children. Even if they know that the chance of meeting each other in this life is slim, they still have a glimmer of hope.
I hope their children can come back to them one day.
