Lu Meng was really unbearable to Tianyou's "ignorance", so he helped him carry out some popular science, which made Tianyou understand what the "national destiny" activity is.

The so-called national destiny can actually be understood as the luck of the country or the transportation of the country. The reason why both explanations are reasonable is that this is a activity related to the fortune of the country, but the main content is transportation. After listening to Lu Meng's explanation, Tianyou even gave him an image nickname: "Youth Brick Moving Competition."

To explain the essence of national destiny, we first need to understand some history of China mainland.

At present, the most important historical event in the Continent of China is the catastrophe war a thousand years ago, which is as important as the world war on earth. But before the catastrophe war, there was another very important thing, that is, the Human Emperor had burned a batch of gold bricks with the blood of the heads of the ten major clans.

The top ten ancestral clans here refer to the top ten surnames of the Shenzhou Continent. The current recognized view is that all surnames of the Shenzhou Continent are actually separated from the top ten surnames, which means that these ten families can already represent the entire human bloodline. Moreover, these ten ancestral clans have not disappeared. The current royal clans among the ten countries in China are actually the top ten ancestral clans of that year, of course, including the Chu royal clan Mi clan. Lu Meng said that Tianyou should not offend Mi Tianying because of Mi Tianying's surname, and this caste is of great significance to the national destiny mission.

Although the gold bricks cast by the Human Emperor were called gold bricks, they were actually black iron bricks. They were poured and melted with human blood and finally condensed into square bricks. Each brick was engraved with spiritual formation pictures and texts, and each brick contained the fortune of heaven. Legend has it that when the Human Emperor built a temple with this brick, the words "Heaven and Earth" were worshipped, the fortune of heaven and earth would naturally gather in the human race, making the race prosperous and prosperous.

Unfortunately, during the battle of catastrophe, the Temple of Heaven and Earth was demolished into ten pieces, and the remnants of the ten countries took one of them. It was agreed that a national destiny task would be held every year in the future, and young talents from various countries were responsible for organizing and organizing, arranging and implementing it. The content was to seize gold bricks from other countries, and then transport them back to their country and put them in their country's Taimiao for storage.

Of course, there is a robbery and protection. While robbing other countries' gold bricks, you also need to take into account the protection of your own gold bricks. As long as the national destiny mission is not over, the gold bricks transported and deposited in the Taimiao can still be robbed by other countries. Therefore, until the mission is over, the protection, interception, and robbery will not stop.

As long as the gold bricks seized in this activity are deposited into the Taimiao of the country, they can effectively bring prosperity to the country, so all countries are very interested in this activity. However, as time goes by, the purpose of the activity itself gradually changes, and the rules are very different from before.

When the Battle of Catastrophe was just over, the goal of the national destiny task was to determine the strongest country, especially to lead the rejuvenation of the human race and become the guide of the human race. Therefore, the national destiny task was not allowed to hurt people at that time. If young talents from other countries were accidentally killed, they would have to compensate the other party for punishment, and it would have many adverse effects on the subsequent tasks.

However, the national destiny task has completely changed its nature. The ten countries have long forgotten the glory of the Human Emperor, and the national destiny task has become a means to strengthen their own national strength and suppress other countries' future development potential. Therefore, although the current national destiny task is still saying that it is not allowed to hurt people, in fact, there are a large number of young talents participating in the competition every year, and this number is still increasing year by year. Of course, because there is an open restriction on not being allowed to hurt people, if the death of people in the other country is caused, the gold bricks must be compensated. However, the amount of compensation has dropped from hundreds or thousands after the end of the battle of catastrophe to counting based on the other party's cultivation level. It is basically one level one brick. In other words, even if the Tianfei is killed when participating in the task, the compensation is only 151 gold bricks. But obviously the value of Tianfei is far from being measured by 151 gold bricks, even if this gold brick is more valuable than the gold bricks in the usual sense.

The danger of such a national destiny task can be imagined. Every year, countries think about how to kill and injure other countries more, especially the outstanding talents of hostile countries, and at the same time think about how to protect their outstanding talents from losses. Of course, the bricks themselves are equally important. After all, the bricks can gather the fortune of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to directly adding hidden lucky attributes. Such a great prop, of course, you must get the one who breaks the head.

However, what Lu Meng told Tianyou that the real reason why he should not offend Mi Tianying is not the danger of the national destiny mission itself, but the impact that Mi Tianying can have during the mission.

According to convention, young talents from the ten countries gathered in the royal cities of each country before the mission began, and the various countries sent envoys to supervise the task start ceremony. This ceremony was started at the same time by each country, and it is not allowed to be advanced or postponed. After the mission began, the young talents from each country would be grouped, and the dangers suggested by Lu Meng were above the group.

This grouping is said to be freely chosen by young talents, but in fact, except for a very small number of people who choose to act alone, they usually use the top ten ancestral clans, that is, the royal clans of various countries as their leaders to form small groups one by one. For example, Qin State, in the end, except for a few who work alone, there should be only three groups left. The leader of the team will be Ying Hai, Ying Ying and Ying Yang. Not only because they are ancestral clans, but more importantly, because they are likely to inherit the throne and become the king of a country in the future.

Although Mi Tianying is the son of Mi Fusheng, King Yizhou, because of the assassination storm seventeen years ago, the King of Chu now has no direct descendants, at least in the open. Therefore, as the eldest brother of King Mi Fuxin of Chu, Mi Tianying, the eldest son of Mi Fusheng, became the most suitable heir to the throne of Chu. Therefore, most of the young talents in Chu must be led by Mi Tianying.

Although the team leader may not be the one who makes the plan, the team leader's decision-making power is undoubtedly very large. Since Mi Tianying is the most promising heir to the throne of Chu, he must be one of the main team leaders of the Chu team. In the national destiny mission, if a team leader calls for a name and wants to kill someone, the probability of this person's survival will be greatly reduced. As for the specific reduction, it depends on the strength of the team's protection for this person.

Although Tianyou traveled around the countries when he was young, he had settled in Qin for the longest time. In addition, he was the Zixiao Palace recommended by Ying Ying, so naturally he was a member of Ying Ying's faction. If You're powerful today, once the national fortune mission begins, can Tianyou say he won't participate? Obviously it is impossible. Therefore, Tianyou can't avoid this national fortune mission, and he is not the leader, so the protection he is naturally unable to be as comprehensive as Ying Ying. If more other leaders of other countries try to kill him at this time, it would be really dangerous.

"I heard what you said, this Mi Tianying really can't be offended?" Tianyou asked, still disagreeingly.

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Lu Meng immediately warned him anxiously: "Godyou, don't take it seriously. The national fortune mission is really going to die every year. In the past three years, our Qin State has greatly controlled the number of casualties because of Sister Ying Ying's leadership and Sister Bingyu's command and dispatch. But even so, every national fortune mission still requires 17 or 18 casualties to survive. I don't want you to take this risk."

Tianyou was very moved by Lu Meng's concern, but he really didn't care much about this matter, but he suddenly realized a problem.

"By the way, Mengmeng, if young talents who participate in national destiny tasks perform well every year, such as robbing the robbed gold bricks, or killing the other party's young talents, are there any rewards? It's okay if you don't participate in such activities for free, right?"

"You really lose money." Lu Meng said Tianyou angrily, but explained: "For such a dangerous task, everyone has to risk their lives to work hard. The king will naturally not treat the young talents who participated in the task unfairly. All participants can obtain different amounts of spirit stones of different quality according to their personal cultivation, with the lowest being an exquisite spirit stone. The specific situation varies depending on the country. What I just told you was the standard of my Great Qin. Over the years, it seems that the Wei Kingdom paid the least amount of spirit stones every year, and other countries are roughly equivalent."

"What about the special contribution? Is there no additional reward?"

"Of course there are." Lu Meng said: "If someone performs outstandingly in the national destiny mission, the captain can decide to submit the details of the battle results to the king. After verification, you can reward merits. That is to say, the rewards are uncertain. The specific amount depends on how much the king values ​​you, the declared team leader is loved by the king and the specific achievements."

"How did I usually complete the tasks in previous years? What would happen if I could pull a team away this year?"

Lu Meng reacted instantly and exclaimed: "Do you want to lead Mi Tianying's team away and then create opportunities for our Daqin?"

"No?"

"No, absolutely not." Lu Meng strongly opposed: "The mission of national destiny is collective action, not something that can be reversed by a certain person's strength. No matter how outstanding the individual's strength is, it can only have a partial impact. In the end, everyone must work together to decide the overall situation. Don't think that you are a little clever and think about working alone alone. That is seeking death, irresponsible, and a black sheep."

"I just want to help, why did I become a black sheep?"

"Because the captain will not watch you die, and saving you will inevitably affect the established plan and cause greater casualties and losses, so your personal actions may not help everyone, but will definitely interfere with everyone's actions."

The last sentence was said by Qu Tong, who had never said anything. As a younger disciple of the Zixiao Palace, of course, he also had to participate in the national destiny mission. However, this guy is not from Qin, so even if he encounters a mission, it should be a hostile relationship. Of course, if a fight occurs between the Zixiao Palace disciples from different countries, they generally won’t do it too well. However, there are exceptions, such as if Chu Feifan met Tianyou during the mission, he would definitely not keep his hands.

The three of them walked to Taoyuan City without realizing it. A long distance away, they could see a crescent-shaped city wall across the mountain pass, separating the southern area of ​​Sanxiang Village that extended from Taoyuan City. There were three city gates open on the city wall, and a small number of soldiers were guarding under the huge door opening. It seemed that the management was not very strict. When Tianyou and the others passed by, the guards had no intention of checking.

In the city, I saw Bai Bingyu and his group who stayed and waited. After gathering, everyone told each other about the situation encountered by both sides, and then set off to rush back. Because the spirit rider was ridden by the senior brother who reported the news, the remaining spirit rider was obviously not enough, so they finally rented a few more fast horses and rushed back all the way. But even so, they were still one step too late. When everyone rushed back to Zixiao Palace, they realized that the senior brother who reported the news had already gone to the White Bone Cave with the team sent by Zixiao Palace.

This time, the incident was quite serious. The undead tide was flooded and almost destroyed the entire village. As the boss of such a large-scale catastrophic event, Zixiao Palace certainly cannot ignore such a large-scale catastrophic event, so he sent a team to deal with it as soon as he received the news.

This arrangement is understandable, after all, it is important to be serious. Many people may die one second later, but this is not a good thing for Tianyou and the others. According to general practice, the original team has the right to require participation in subsequent tasks due to errors in this task information. As long as they can participate in subsequent tasks, they can get a lot of benefits even if they follow the motions. If the normal rewards for the previous tasks and compensation for errors in tasks are added, the Tianyou team will get a lot of benefits. This is also the reason why most sectors love and hate the errors in tasks. After all, compared to danger, there are too many benefits that people can't help but think about coming here occasionally.

However, because Tianyou and the others came back late this time, the task was very urgent, so Tianyou and the others missed the subsequent task. If only Tianyou himself was the only one, this matter would not matter. The key is that Tianyou went to deal with some private matters halfway, and the team delayed participating in the task because they were waiting for his return, which made Tianyou very uncomfortable.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Tianyou, because after the situation at that time, most of the people in the team were exhausted. In that case, even if Tianyou didn't do private affairs, it was unlikely that all of these people would return to the sect to participate in the mission. Tianyou's departure was just a delay of a few more people.

Although this is the case, Tianyou always feels a little sad, so after hesitating for a while, he decided to use some personal relationships. He told the people in the team not to rush to disband. They went back to repair themselves first, and made an appointment to gather in the cafeteria after dinner. After explaining clearly, Tianyou left the team first.

Without returning to his cave, Tianyou first went to the Merit Hall to find Zhao Quan and asked him to take him to the second floor to meet Xie Bi'an. He was basically responsible for the operation of the Merit Hall.

Tianyou briefly explained the situation, and then expressed his own losses to the team because of his own reasons. He felt very sorry. Xie Bi'an looked at Tianyou, thought for a while, and then nodded and said, "There is no such rule in the door, but this time, he will bypass your team and directly send someone to deal with this incident. So since there is no precedent on both sides, let's set a precedent.

You will organize your team later, and I will send you a separate supplementary task. If you can meet the previous team, you will hand over the supplementary task to the team leader and he will assign your subsequent tasks. If you don’t encounter it, then you will perform the task separately. After completing it, you will come back to hand me in the task as well."

"Thank you, the envoy."

"It was your mission, I just corrected the temporary arrangements I made due to the urgent situation."

Tianyou still clasped his fists: "For Xie Changzhi, it is a small task, but for disciples, it is a difficult task. If you receive favors, remember it with your heart. This is the way of dealing with the disciples, and you dare not change it lightly."

Xie Bi'an smiled and shook his head and pointed at Tianyou. Then he stopped talking, picked up his pen and started writing the task record. After finishing it, he copied a copy as an alternative and handed the original to Tianyou. "Take it and go as soon as possible, so as not to catch up with the team ahead."

Tianyou bowed his fists again, and then he took the task scroll and exited the room.

Before dinner time was ready, Tianyou went to find Lu Meng first and asked her to help find something for herself, and then finally got back together with the team during dinner.

"Tianyou, you asked us to gather here. Is there really any remedy?" asked a senior brother in the team.

Tianyou smiled and took out the scroll he had just received, and handed it to the senior brother who was sitting nearest. Everyone rushed to open it and watch it. When they found the content, they immediately became happy. They thought they were late and missed the task, but they didn't expect that Tianyou would get things done in just over an hour.

"Then let's set off now? If we go late, we may have missed the mission. If we don't say the losses, we will waste Tianyou's efforts in vain."

"There's no need." Tianyou comforted everyone who was obviously overexcited and said: "Sharpening a knife will not delay the chopping of wood. We will eat and drink first and then rush to the road overnight, which will be more efficient. In addition, I asked Lu Meng to help borrow some good spirit riders. This time everyone can one for each person to ensure the movement speed. If nothing unexpected happens, go all night and you should be able to arrive at Xinghuang Village tomorrow and join the team that will lead the way."

"You are the team leader, and you will listen to you." Everyone was obviously very satisfied with Tianyou's ability to win the task, and they all believed in Tianyou's leadership. In the previous mission, Tianyou had proved to everyone with his actions that his command was far beyond the level of ordinary senior brothers. Whether it was search and rescue in the house or dispatching in distress, they could do it in order, and fully utilize everyone's maximum value, so that everyone could bear pressure more balancedly. Such a team leader's own strength is actually not very important. As long as he can reasonably arrange how everyone fights, he has already surpassed the help brought by a powerful team member.

After dinner, everyone went down the mountain overnight. Each person had a spirit rider and ran all night long, crossing the city and village, and finally arrived at Zhao Village before dawn the next day.

It was Tianyou who was received by the village chief last time, but the injuries and illnesses in the village had been transferred, and there were not many people left in the entire village. After asking the village chief, I found out that shortly after Tianyou and his friends entered Xinghuang Village, the ghost fog began to expand outward, driving away monsters, and wild beasts rushed to escape, so that even Zhao Village was affected. Fortunately, the previous two attacks on the village were all ordinary wild beasts, which did not cause much casualties. When the real monster approached, it happened to catch up with the emergency team sent by Zixiao Palace, and finally saved the population of the village.

However, as the team from Zixiao Palace left the village and went deep into the Tianshan Mountain to investigate the ghost fog, the people in Zhao Village did not dare to live here anymore and evacuate further away. Now the village chief and a dozen young and strong people are left. Their mission is to drive out some simple beasts. Once the situation is found to be critical, these people are young and strong people, and they run quickly.

The arrival of Tianyou and the others obviously made these left-behind young men and village chiefs feel much more at ease, and they are also much more enthusiastic about them. However, Tianyou really didn't plan to stay here. After a brief supply, the team set off again and headed straight for Xinghuang Village.

After going deep into the ghost fog for the second time, Tianyou was much more prepared than before. The time before dinner seemed not long, but Tianyou did a lot of things. Not only did he get the task, but he borrowed the spirit cavalry, he also specially prepared a lot of small things for combat needs in the ghost fog environment, such as the "torch that is particularly resistant to burning."

The torch in the dark may not play much role, and the light generated by the flame cannot shine too far. However, the orange-yellow light generated by the torch has a strong penetrating effect on the fog, so the lighting effect of the torch in this ghost fog is quite good, at least much better than the flashlight. Of course, no matter how bright the torch is, the visibility in the ghost fog is definitely not as good as that outside.

The ghost fog was obviously spreading during the period when Tianyou and the others left. Last time, everyone encountered ghost fog in the area near the outer edge of Xinghuang Village. However, this time, as soon as they left Zhaojia Village, they could see a gabled ghost fog standing not far from the entrance of the village. I believe that the source of the ghost fog could not be found and dealt with, and soon Zhaojia Village will be completely swallowed by the ghost fog.
Chapter completed!
