Zhou Qi returned to the area where the masters of the Ye Ming Division lived, and gathered everyone together. More than a hundred people gathered in the woods outside their abode.
Melting moonlight fell through the gaps between the trees and sprinkled on them.
They looked at Zhou Qi quietly, wondering what was going on, the gloom between their brows was replaced by joy, and all of them were in high spirits, as if they were a different person.
? Think about the days before coming to Xingnan Peak, and then think about the present days, it's like a dream.
Zhou Qi stood in an open space, his eyes slowly swept across the crowd, the moonlight shone on him, and the shadows on his face seemed extraordinarily deep, as if his mood.
He opened his mouth and said slowly: "Everyone, how are you doing in Xingnan Peak?"
After their discussion gradually subsided, Zhou Qi said calmly: "Do you want to leave?"
"Brother Zhou, aren't we servants of Xingnan Peak? Why are we leaving?"
"Can you leave?"
"Can't you?"
"If you just leave like this, wouldn't it be"
Zhou Qi interrupted everyone's inquiries, and said slowly: "You can go, the monk Fakong has already spoken, go and stay freely, if you really want to leave, you can go today."
"This" Everyone was shocked.
Zhou Qi said slowly: "If you miss tonight, you can't do it again. You only have this chance. If you want to leave, you can leave tonight. Make a decisive decision. Don't hesitate to make people laugh."
Someone asked: "Brother Zhou, what will happen if you leave?"
Zhou Qi shook his head and said: "Shen Monk Kuanhe doesn't want to make things difficult for others. He can leave whenever he wants, without punishment or blame. It's an adventure, and it's also our own destiny."
"So" Everyone was dubious.
After correcting their minds, and with Xingnanfeng's miraculous assistance, they were helped to step into the Grand Master, but they walked away, and anyone would feel angry if they changed.
Can the monk Fakong really be so lenient?
It seems that in my impression, the monk Fakong is not such a lenient person, otherwise, Dayun would not be so afraid of him.
Zhou Qi said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't be angry because of this. After all, we have left a group of people behind, which can be regarded as compensation for Xingnan Peak. Who will stay?"
His voice suddenly raised.
Everyone fell silent.
Zhou Qi said: "If you want to leave, you can leave tonight, don't procrastinate, and live a good life after returning to Dayun. It is not easy to change our destiny."
Everyone nodded with emotion.
It is indeed not easy for them to change their fate. It is a combination of many lucks. The most important thing is that they came to Xingnan Peak and met the monk Fakong.
Zhou Qi pointed to his left hand: "Stay here."
After a while, he frowned and looked at all the people standing on the left: "Is there no one who wants to leave? If you leave now, there will never be any punishment."
Everyone didn't speak.
Zhou Qi said in a deep voice: "I know, in fact, many people want to leave, and some people stay here not because they really want to stay, but because they want to do something else."
He glanced slowly across the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Ugly words are up front. If we leave now, we won't say anything, but if we want to stay and fish in troubled waters, we will never allow it."
"Yes, if you stay, stay firmly, don't be double-faced!" Someone echoed.
In fact, they are also worried about their companions.
Once this happens, everyone will be implicated and will be hostile to Xingnan Peak and all the pilgrims who came.
This is too unfair to those of them who stayed with peace of mind.
Zhou Qi looked at everyone: "Actually, there is no need to forcefully stay. After all, Xingnan Peak is just a mountain. Living like this all the time is too poor for a great master."
Everyone was silent.
Zhou Qi continued: "I may think it's okay now, but if I continue, I'll get tired of such a life, not to mention, some of them have family members, so why abandon them?"
Among the crowd, some have changed.
They are thinking of their relatives, but those who have family members often have children and grandchildren, not just a family, but a family of three generations.
If it's just a family member, just bring it here quietly, but a big family, how could it be easy to come here?
"If you are worried about your family, you should go back." Zhou Qi said: "There is no need to force it. On the contrary, those who don't have a family will stay as long as they stay. They can also be companions and grow old together."
There was a change in everyone.
In the end, twelve people came out and stood on the other side, all with families.
Zhou Qi nodded slowly: "After you go back, you still have to be careful, don't anger the prime ministers, otherwise even if you don't become a dead man, you may become a dead man."
The twelve people frowned.
One of the square-faced middle-aged men said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, can't you? We are great masters, and we have not committed any crimes. How could the court destroy us?"
Zhou Qi hummed: "You may be traitors in the eyes of the prime minister, and you may be spies when you go back. The prime minister and the others act cautiously, and may not listen to your defense."
The faces of the twelve people suddenly changed.
Zhou Qi said: "So even if you want to go back, don't make a big fuss, but do it quietly."
"Act quietly" Their faces darkened.
Faintly felt that going back to Dayun might be the beginning of trouble. Staying here seems to be poor, but I can live a clean and comfortable life without worrying about my life.
It's really sad that as a great master, he still has to worry about his own life.
Thinking of this, their eyes shot coldly.
Zhou Qi looked at the others: "Is there anyone else who wants to leave? If you miss tonight, you will be a traitor to Xingnan Peak if you leave again!"
Everyone shook their heads.
Zhou Qi sighed: "That's all right, only Lao Fang and the others are leaving, let's take them to the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to come back later."
Once they return to Dayun, they will either ascend to a high position or be controlled.
It is very difficult to come back.
"Forget it." The middle-aged man with a square face said in a deep voice, "I'm not leaving."
Zhou Qi was startled: "Old Fang"
The middle-aged man with a square face said in a deep voice: "It's better to stay here than to go back and be frightened."
Zhou Qi said: "But at home"
The middle-aged man with a square face said: "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I will only cause trouble for them when I go back. It is better to stay. Maybe the prime minister still has scruples and will not mess around."
Everyone nodded, thinking that this statement was correct.
"What about you?" Zhou Qi looked at the other eleven.
They looked at each other and slowly walked back to the crowd on the left.
Zhou Qi said: "Don't you all go back? You are not afraid of the prime minister's anger"
"We won't go back. If it's the opposite, it won't happen. We can't dispose of all our family papers, right?" Another chubby middle-aged man said with a smile: "Going back alone with one or two people will be a big trouble."
"Exactly." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhou Qi frowned and stared at them.
"All right, let me ask Miss Xu to see if there is any way." Zhou Qi said helplessly.
He was faintly happy.
I didn't expect that they would not leave, far beyond my imagination.
I thought there were at least thirty or so people leaving.
