Everyone was waiting for Long Chen to speak. They guessed what Long Chen would say and chose to stay and want to hear it.
"This time I fought against Gui Fei's men. I believe everyone has seen their weirdness and terror."
"To be honest, these people are not actually the most powerful. In the frozen land of the north, there are even more powerful ghost clans, as well as the martial saints and ghost girls who have been sleeping for four hundred years."
"Ghost fetuses may awaken them at any time, and ghost tribes may invade the Central Plains at any time, and Da Zhou will be the first to bear the brunt!"
Long Chen held the wine glass and spoke very seriously.
Everyone listened quietly, they had already heard some of these things.
When Long Chen said it again, they still felt shocked.
The legend was confirmed.
"King Wu, I have something to say. Please forgive me."
Scholar Li stood up and saluted Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at scholar Li and said, "May I ask what your name is?"
Scholar Li replied: "I am Li Jin, a disciple of the Huachun Sect. Because he has read a few books, people in the world call him Scholar Li."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Master Li, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Scholar Li said: "The story of Wu Sheng happened 400 years ago. How can you be sure it is true?"
Everyone has this question, let alone 400 years ago, even things that happened 40 years ago will be spread and spread.
Only Long Chen is talking about the matter between the Martial Saint and the Ghost Clan. Who can know whether it is true or false?
Long Chen nodded and said: "It's a good question, Master Li. It has been almost 400 years. How did I know about it?"
"When I was looking through the historical books of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Xixia Dynasty, I found some historical materials involving Wu Sheng and the ghost tribe in the north, but these records are unclear."
"There is a jade album left by Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty that records the war in detail. This jade album is in the hands of the Holy One."
"Everyone knows that I went to Saint Snow Peak and met Yin Ling, the daughter of the Martial Saint. She wanted to extract my blood, but was killed by me in the end. The secret of longevity is Yin Ling's technique!"
Everyone couldn't help but think of the Secret of Immortality. Such an exquisite technique was indeed passed down by the Martial Saint.
"Of course, you haven't experienced these things personally, so it's normal not to believe them."
"like This strange thing, even if I were the king, I would also doubt whether it is true or not."
"But what is said is that hearing is false and seeing is true. You knights have surrounded and suppressed the forces of ghost fetuses, and you have also seen with your own eyes the restraint of the sacred trees and demon-suppressing stones."
"If you weren't a ghost, how could you be stabbed by a sacred tree and then spontaneously combust?"
No matter how much you say, it’s better to see it with your own eyes.
All of you here have fought against the ghost forces and tried the power of the three-foot sword with your own hands.
Using this to present facts is more useful than anything else.
After Long Chen finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and scholar Li also nodded slightly.
Rumors can be false, but what you see with your own eyes can never be false.
"Does King Wu keep us here to get us to join his gang?"
A tall and thin old man with white beard and hair asked.
This person is Hong Xiao, the head of Danxia Sect.
Everyone thought so in their hearts, but they didn't expose it. Hong Xiao pointed it out, and everyone looked to see what Long Chen said.
Long Chen said openly: "I have this idea. The ghost clan is tyrannical, and I can't stand alone."
"The world does not belong to me alone, nor does it belong to the Holy One. If the world is full of ghost clans, it will be difficult for your sect to be good."
"Of course, everything is voluntary. You are used to it. I will not restrain you."
"I'm keeping you here today because I want to teach you another way of thinking."
When Long Chen said he wanted to get everyone to join the gang, everyone was laughing secretly in their hearts.
Long Chen has killed Jianghu sects before, and every time he uprooted them by their roots, his methods were vicious, and everyone hated them.
Everyone was surprised when they heard at the end that Long Chen said there was a spiritual method to teach.
Scholar Li asked: "Is it possible that the secret of longevity given to us by King Wu is incomplete?"
Everyone looked at Long Chen, thinking they had been tricked by Long Chen.
Long Chen said loudly: "No, the longevity secret is complete. What I gave you is the Long family's mental method."
"You all don't know that the number one general under the Martial Saint back then was my ancestor of the Long Family, Long Yuan."
"After the Martial Saint defected to the Ghost Clan, my ancestors of the Long Family led troops to fight back and drove the Ghost Clan out of the country."
"So, although the martial arts skills of the Martial Saint are good, my Long family's mental skills are also excellent."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"The ancestor of the Long family is the first general of the Martial Saint? Doesn't it mean that Li Yuanba, the Taizu of Southern Liang, is the first general?"
A short, fat man with a mustache said in surprise.
This man's name was He Qingsong, who was originally from Nanliang. When Longxinggu arrested people, his sect was destroyed, and He Qingsong fled to Dazhou for refuge alone.
Wu Jian sneered and said: "Nonsense! Li Yuanba was originally a general under Long Yuan."
"After expelling Wu Sheng, Long Yuan supported Li Yuanba to establish Nanliang. At that time, Nanliang was just a small country."
Long Chen waved his hands and said: "Everyone, let's not talk about the past. What I want to say is that our Long family's mental skills are not inferior to the longevity secrets. If you are willing to join us, I will personally teach you."
"Of course, as I said before, you can stay or go as you like, never force it!"
Everyone present was confused.
The excitement of having just obtained the Secret of Immortality has not yet passed, and I heard that there is a better technique, and everyone wants it.
However, by following Long Chen, they were worried about whether they would be sold.
Everyone was hesitant, but Long Chen did not urge him and asked the soldiers to serve wine and food again.
Long Chen and Wu Jian ate slowly, letting them think about it slowly.
"Scholar Li, you read a lot, what do you think?"
People at the table looked at scholar Li.
Scholar Li shook his head slightly and said: "I heard that King Wu seriously injured Gui Fei in Linhu City, and he fought alone. This shows that King Wu's cultivation is higher than that of Gui Fei."
"If King Wu only practiced the Secret of Immortality, he should be on par with the ghost fetus, or even worse than the ghost fetus."
"So. The Long family's mental method may really surpass the longevity secret."
Gui Fei is the biological son of Wu Sheng. He has lived for hundreds of years and practiced the same technique. Gui Fei is definitely more powerful. The fact that Long Chen can defeat the ghost fetus shows that Long Chen has better skills.
Who wouldn’t want such a skill?
"in this case."
Everyone was confused.
Meng Yidao stood up, walked to Long Chen, and said, "I'll join the gang!"
Long Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, may I ask your surname, hero?"
Meng Yidao patted the giant blade behind his back and said, "Meng Yidao!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, Master Meng, remember your name. Please follow me after the banquet is over."
Meng Yidao recorded his name in the main book next to him.
With Meng Yidao taking the lead, others followed suit.
Of course, there are also those who are unwilling, because they don't believe Long Chen.
In the end, a total of sixteen people joined the gang.
The chief clerk gave the book to Long Chen, with sixteen names written on it:
Meng Yidao, Scholar Li, He Qingsong, Hong Xiao, Ling Fengzi, Hua Die, Zhuang Linger, Zhao Shuying, Jing Yan.
After the banquet, Long Chen stood up and said, "Sixteen heroes are invited to accompany me."
Long Chen got up and walked to the other courtyard, Meng Yidao and the others followed.
The remaining people looked at their backs, feeling a little disappointed.
"If I had known, I would have joined them."
"Humph, no one can predict what will happen in the future."
"Yeah, whether it's a blessing or a curse, you bring it all on yourself."
Everyone got up and left Xianhe City, returning to their respective sects.
Long Chen walked into the other courtyard and arrived at a hall. Long Chen took a seat at the main seat, Wu Jian stood beside him, and the others took their seats in turn.
Looking at the sixteen people below, Long Chen said: "First of all, I would like to thank you for your trust."
"I am neither superior nor subordinate to you, and we have no affiliation. You can still come and go freely."
Long Chen first gave them a reassurance.
What these people in the world don't like most is restraint.
If Long Chen uses military orders to restrain them, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.
The way to employ people should vary from person to person.
