Twenty-seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one, not to mention Zhang Bairen, even Zhang Qing himself was shocked when he got this number.
"How come... there are so many?" Zhang Bairen was shocked. The Zhang family had been in Yunmengze for two hundred years, and the number of monks had only remained at more than a thousand.
Although there is an unknown opportunity now, so that all descendants of the family can have spiritual roots, and everyone has also considered that the number of monks will skyrocket in the future, but...
This number is too scary.
"Can we afford it?" Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly. This is a great good thing, but also an imminent pressure.
"Otherwise, why do you think I am so anxious?" Zhang Qing chuckled and said, "The Shenting Military Department is taking so many people to the Three Thousand Five Hundred Prefectures. This is an opportunity."
"The ocean where they passed must be empty. We can easily occupy it. Maybe the resources that are too valuable can't be found, but the spiritual land and spiritual stone veins on the seabed, as well as the resources that cannot be removed, can't be found. Points, countless."
"In addition, only you, me and the head of the family know about this matter at the moment. After you take over, you are not allowed to tell others easily."
"But you don't have to worry about the future."
"This has been accumulated over more than ten years, and almost all of them are descendants of the mortal clansmen below. After more than ten years, most of these clansmen are no longer suitable for reproduction."
"It is estimated that in the next twenty years, the number of newborns in the clan will not exceed 5,000. Of course, this data only counts the mortal clan members."
"Twenty years later, the last batch of mortals will be unfit to have children. They will gradually grow old. After that, only the monks will be left in the family."
Zhang Bairen was still shocked, "The number of mortals in the family is probably between 40,000 and 50,000. What have the family masters done? To add so many new ones in ten years?"
"It's not the head of the family's decision. To be precise, it's the five ancestors who seem a little crazy in this regard."
"In the past ten years, the family's largest consumption of spiritual stones has not been on monks, but on mortals."
"In order to encourage fertility, the five ancestors did not hesitate to consume a large amount of spiritual stones to strengthen the bodies of those mortals, and various miraculous medicines. Even I did not enjoy such treatment when I was in the later stages of Qi training."
"The Ancestor Shenwen even ordered the eldest mortal man in the clan to marry three to five mortal women. The reason why the casual cultivator families in Qingyan City were persuaded by the family to deal with the Yan family was reflected in this."
"The ancestors know very well that although newborns can have spiritual roots, we are monks after all, and the frequency and probability of giving birth to offspring are lower than that of mortals."
"Therefore, if we want the family to have a large number of descendants of monks, the last batch of mortals in this family are the biggest contributors. Only they can make the family have a large number of descendants with spiritual roots in a short period of time."
"If we want such a quantity decades later, it will be impossible without hundreds or thousands of years."
"It only takes ten years for a mortal, but it takes a thousand years for a monk. Our ancestors are also courageous. Although they are not worthy of the mortals underground, for the family, it is a thousand-year benefit."
"But I didn't see that many in Chilang Gorge." Zhang Bairen asked. Since the number is twenty to thirty thousand, there are not too many young people in Chilang Gorge in recent years.
"It's still the method of the five ancestors. They are not only our ancestors, but the seniority of the mortals below them is even lower than them."
"The ancestors have spoken. Now the family has confirmed that all immortals must do things for the family. With a wave of his hand, the newborns were taken away when they were five, six, or even three years old."
"Currently, part of it is on the islands in the sea, part of it is in the plain area to the west, and the rest is left in Chilang Gorge."
"After I go to sea, more than 20,000 tribesmen will be activated. Some of them will be in the family and you will manage them, while others will follow me to the sea."
"It rotates every three years to ensure that the family is united."
Zhang Qing looked at Zhang Bairen and said, "Brother, this is what I want to tell you. Among the two to thirty thousand descendants, there are many with good talents. In the future, when the Xuluo tree matures, they will plant Golden Lotus is not a problem either.”
"So, if we can't bring them the majesty that belongs to the head of the family in advance, life will not be easy in the future."
After saying that, Zhang Qing laughed and left, leaving Zhang Bairen speechless.
"Twenty-seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one...Hey, our ancestors really like to torment people." Zhang Bairen shook his head, and then his eyes were deep.
"Grow golden lotus?"
It's not like he was unprepared and deliberately delayed.
"I just don't know if I can succeed. If I can, my clan brother, all your worries will be unnecessary."
"I, Zhang Bairen, will definitely become the greatest head of the Zhang family, surpassing the ancestor of Shenling. Just wait."
"You will definitely be surprised when the time comes." Zhang Bairen smiled and reached out to touch his chest, where the strong and powerful heartbeat was very different from others.
After telling Zhang Bairen something, Zhang Qing stood on the cliff, looking at the blood-red waves in front of him and the bright silver moon in the sky.
There is a lot of movement in Shenting, but what is certain is that the 3500 states involve immortal beings, so Shenting will not be the only one.
He vowed to go to sea and open the way to Chilang Gorge and San500 Prefecture, but the appearance of Miao Kong made him have a bad feeling.
The Buddhists must know something about the situation. Doesn't even the Eagle Temple dare to cross the 1.9 million-mile white water ocean?
Wow~
The waves crashing, and the smell of blood in it is simply a paradise for some ferocious fish and beasts. How many creatures must be killed?
Zhang Qing even began to doubt that Da Yuetian's military cultivators could really plow this ocean and successfully reach the 3,500 states?
"It's a pity, it's too far." Zhang Qing regretted that a few months were enough for him to control a group of people in the flying boat team to become his 'clones'.
But the problem of distance is that even if the news is received, how will it be delivered back?
The night wind was swaying, the moonlight was deserted, and the world without the sun and moon showed a coquettish beauty.
Dressed in green clothes and wearing a mask, the incarnation of Qinglian appeared not far away, sitting on the curved branch of an eternal pine, elegantly flipping through the book in his hand.
"If it doesn't work out, let me go."
"Fengyu Tower needs someone to take care of it, and it cannot be without Mr. Jing."
"If something happens to you, the loss will be too great." Although the incarnation of Qinglian can be infinitely resurrected within his golden lotus, Zhang Qing gradually understood that it is not without cost.
The incarnation of Qinglian is like an independent monk. Every time he dies, most of his cultivation will be lost. In the early stages of planting Golden Lotus, it has no impact, but the higher the cultivation level, the more terrible the price of death becomes.
"I'm not afraid of death." With that said, Qinglian's incarnation disappeared on the cliff, and a lone boat drifted away at the end of the sea.
Of course Zhang Qing would not stop him. After all, the avatar of Qinglian was also a part of him. Everything the avatar did represented what he was thinking.
It is not the incarnation that wants to go to sea, but Zhang Qing, but the former has replaced his feet.
