Everyone's eyes focused on Jiang Qian.

As Jiang Qian said, the Shenshan Organization is facing unprecedented internal and external troubles. Although the internal troubles are currently on hold, the pressure from lawful officials is imminent.

"The existence and actions of the Shenshan Organization have been brought to the surface. Once the official decides to take action, it will not stop in vain. I think everyone who devoted themselves to this naturally thought that such a day would come."

Jiang Qian stated a fact: The existence of the Shenshan Organization is not a secret. Now that the official has taken action, it means that the problem is "already very serious."If you want peace, you will inevitably pay a corresponding price.

The crowd, which had just stabilized from the riot, once again broke out into a new round of emotional catharsis, vividly demonstrating its strong resentment against the lawful authorities:

"What are you afraid of? In the worst case, we will fight them to the end!"

"I've had enough of those sanctimonious hypocrites! So what if we fight them to the death?"

"Going into a head-on confrontation with the authorities? You can imagine that."

"Huh, this is our territory after all. If we can't play Yang, why can't we play Yin? I don't believe they can come in and get out..."

"Those people have no chance of returning home. Do we have any good fruits to eat?!"

Discussions and arguments arose everywhere. The Shenshan tribesmen, who had just been confused by internal conflicts, finally returned to the united front and began to think about facing threats from the authorities.

Jiang Qian waited patiently for everyone's reaction, showing amazing determination.

This is a good opportunity for him to observe the people in Shenshan. The more crisis is present, the more he can see a person's character.

Of course, there are still some information gaps worth paying attention to: the Shenshan tribe's understanding of the current main contradiction, and their cognitive bias towards the "ancestral gods".

For example, for the old official department headed by the Crazy Python Old Woman, the conflicts between them and the official were more complicated than those who joined the Shenshan Organization in the later period; while the conflicts between the members who joined the Shenshan Organization in the later period and the official could be Simple attribution: the general antagonism between lawful cardholders and mutants.

The same goes for the understanding of the "Ancestral God". Members who joined the Holy Mountain Organization in the later period will regard the "Ancestral God" as a supreme existence due to its religious rendering, and regard the "power of the Ancestral God" as a special power unique to the Holy Mountain. Source, powerful symbol;

Only the old official department, headed by the Crazy Python Old Woman, would define "the ancestor gods and their power" as the source of the disaster.

Jiang Qian believes that the reason why they concealed the "truth" from latecomers may be to more easily unite people's hearts and avoid causing panic and turmoil within the organization.

After all, according to the records in the archives, every member who was developed to join the Holy Mountain was infected by the power of the ancestor gods to varying degrees when he was young. Keeping these potentially dangerous elements within sight is the meaning of the existence of the Holy Mountain organization. Namely: the agreement between the White Snake Virgin and her father Jiang Xuesong.

However, based on the above cognitive bias, members of the Holy Mountain Organization will make completely different choices when faced with the lawful official's invasion of the city.

This cracked joint of interests is an opportunity for Jiang Qian to take advantage of.

When the ineffective discussions died down and everyone once again focused their eager or curious eyes on Jiang Qian, the opportunity appeared.

He logically said what most people, that is, the members who later joined the Holy Mountain Organization, felt like:

"I know that when you embarked on this road, you were already determined to die at any time. No one standing here is greedy for life and afraid of death. But meaningless sacrifices are not necessary. What I want to do, It is to preserve the strength of the Holy Mountain Organization as much as possible under limited conditions."

Jiang Qian stood completely from the perspective of everyone, affirming their fighting spirit and spirit, and while weighing the pros and cons, he proposed his own plan appropriately:
"Now that the official army is approaching the city, the Holy Mother's magic weapon can block it for a while, but it is difficult to block the opponent's desperate move. And the power I gained in the competition for the prince will take time to be fully utilized if I want to fully utilize it."

"Therefore, there is only one way to minimize the crisis and preserve the strength of the sacred mountain to the maximum extent."

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate.

Even the crazy python old woman regained her concentration, pushed away the support from both sides, and focused entirely on Jiang Qian.

"Give them what they want."

Jiang Qian said bluntly: "Make a deal with the lawful official."

As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the temple!

Then, the waves started again:
"make a deal?!"

"What's the deal? Aren't they going to pay us off?"

Most of the members of the Holy Mountain were at a loss regarding this proposal. Only the elders such as the Crazy Python Old Woman and Centipede understood Jiang Qian's true intention!

The crazy python old woman staggered back two steps and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, she was supported by the people on her left and right.

But she still suppressed her anger and continued to ask:

"What is it that you want to trade with the authorities?"

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and focused on the core of the problem.

Jiang Qian bent down, grabbed Shuizao's lapel and lifted her up from the ground, and said to the people in Shenshan:

"To be honest with you, I have also participated in the Shenshan project, and I know a little bit about the investigation motivations of the case. As far as I know, the official reason for taking action against the Shenshan organization is mainly due to the infiltration of overseas disorderly organizations into the west."

"The lawful official's operation is by no means aimed at the liquidation of the entire sacred mountain. Their target is overseas organizations, which are the traitors we just caught."

"If you have no objections..."

Jiang Qian was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted loudly by someone in the crowd——

"Hey! Did you hear that? He said that he also participated in the special investigation against us!"

Then, people reacted one after another:
"Yes, Qianlong Wuyong is also an official member. Are his words really credible..."

"Don't use Qianlong! Why should we trust you?"

"Which side are you on now?!"

The sharp questioning was directed at Jiang Qian.

This question is difficult to answer.

Elegy and Sha Jin, who gathered around Jiang Qian, looked at each other, frowning slightly, ready to take action at any time.

At this time, a familiar and calm voice came from behind the two of them:
"If I intend to frame you all, I could have opened the door an hour ago and let in the official troops, so why bother talking here?"

This is a fact, and therefore has some reassuring effect.

This is indeed true when everyone thinks about it: if Jiang Qian puts the official will first, I am afraid that the temple is now in the official possessions; being able to activate the mechanism to intercept the official troops outside the temple already means some kind of statement. .

"Then what's your current relationship with the authorities?" Some people still refused to let go of this position issue.

Jiang Qian thought for a while and said, "It's a negotiable relationship."

The man suddenly became silent.

The clever thing about this answer is that it only highlights the parts related to the actual interests of the current Kailash organization.

What if Jiang Qian is really required to promise to draw a clear line with the authorities in front of everyone?That doesn't make any sense.

A person who not only has the interests of the Shenshan organization in mind, but can also sit at the table to negotiate with lawful officials, is the candidate needed by the current situation.This is not simply a matter of taking sides.

The old python woman used this to attack again:

"Don't use Qianlong. You said that you accepted the Holy Mother's instructions, so you should be very clear about the mission and significance of the existence of the Holy Mountain Organization - the secrets of the Holy Mountain and the existence of the ancestral gods must never be made public, especially to the lawful officials! "

"Now, you are going to hand over these two people to the official... Have you ever thought about how many unknown secrets they have learned about the Shenshan organization during their years in the Shenshan? Do you think that they are allowed to contact the official like this? Can the secret of the sacred mountain be hidden?"

In fact, only Jiang Qian and the elders of the Shenshan Organization can fully understand these words.

Their dilemma of identity, including the mission of the Holy Mountain Organization, will inevitably come to light as the transaction proceeds.In that way, the past of Mount Kailash will be fully revealed.

"Do you really think they don't know anything?!"

The one who spoke before Jiang Qian was the bound centipede and centipede.His retort surprised the old python woman.

The old python woman was extremely angry and laughed back: "You traitor, what qualifications do you have to speak so loudly here... Could it be you! Not only did you betray the Holy Mother, but you also secretly colluded with the officials?"

"Hehehe... Working together..."

Centipede and centipede looked like they were breaking a jar, and sneered coldly:

"Who do you think was the person who wanted to have a showdown with the authorities in the first place?"

The crazy python old woman looked condensed.

And most people don't actually understand what the serious differences between the two sides are.

The cruel truth that was about to be revealed made the old python woman uneasy: in fact, she had already noticed that during the period when the seal was in danger, the White Snake Virgin, who was under pressure, had revealed relevant signs...asking those sanctimonious and dangerous elements for help!The Shenshan organization that has been worked so hard for many years is handed over to others!

And once you do that, it will be tantamount to betrayal of all your veteran colleagues.

Therefore, when the Crazy Python Old Woman realized this, she instantly figured out the reason why the Centipede and the Centipede betrayed the Holy Mother.

So she subconsciously pushed away her colleagues who were supporting her on both sides and walked towards Centipede...

But Jiang Qian had already blocked the centipede and the python old woman.

"This topic ends here."

There is no point in continuing to dwell on personal obsessions.

In the current crisis, the most important thing is to lead every member of the organization who carries the power of the ancestral god to make a choice that is in Jiang Qian's interest.

The crazy python old woman stopped walking mechanically, her eyes still fiercely staring at the centipede.

Jiang Qian also cleverly changed the topic and refocused on the current way out of the sacred mountain:
"Now, as the successor appointed by the Holy Mother, I ask you to make a decision: agree with my proposal and hand over the traitors to lawful officials. I will use this to fight for the interests of the Holy Mountain Organization in the negotiations, with the aim of maximizing the Your freedom of identity is preserved.”

"Or, veto my proposal and withdraw from the Holy Mountain Organization."

Jiang Qian considered his words and said word by word:

"At the same time, give back the power of the ancestral gods!"

At this moment, the Beidou button camera that was always in Jiang Qian's hand started to vibrate.

It was a prop left for one-way communication with Ji Ming.

The hour is up and a decision is imminent.

Jiang Qian suppressed the tools and remained focused: he looked at the people of the Holy Mountain tribe and predicted the price he was about to pay from their attitudes.

The elders of Shenshan, headed by the Crazy Python Old Woman, are the most anxious. They have understood Jiang Qian's subtext: He has secured the top spot in Shenshan!Either obey or get out.

As for "bringing back the power of the ancestor gods", that is just a polite and euphemistic way of saying it.

Another understanding of this sentence seems to be: You can leave, but your life will stay!

Because no one can clearly explain how to "return the power of the ancestral gods"...

Just when everyone thought Jiang Qian was going to set up a "One Word Hall", he gave the crucial third path, a compromise choice:

"Or, you don't agree with me, but keep your opinions and go out independently as part of the Holy Mountain Organization. You can enjoy the rights and interests I fought for for the Holy Mountain Organization, but you don't need to serve me. All you need to do is to maintain your own ,Don’t cause trouble to me. Otherwise..."

Jiang Qian said, raising the Wood Mother King Gu in his hand:
"If I move my finger, any one of you can disappear from this world."

Everyone looked at Jiang Qian, as if he was trying hard to sort out his thoughts under the impact of these words.

"Then, let's start making choices! I hope you will listen to my advice."

After saying that, Jiang Qian stepped away, leaving the situation to Sha Jin, Elegy and others, and began to try to contact Ji Ming again.

All the work done so far is to achieve the "destiny" choice of the current members of the Shenshan Organization.

Their choice will determine Jiang Qian's formation for the Holy Mountain: with the holy envoys and saints who have reached the contract as the core, those who are willing to support and follow him will become the main force facing the official; and those who are not so determined will For a group of people, Jiang Qian gave them time to wait and see and shoulder another important responsibility: supporting the bottom line.

In this way, it is divided into two, both offensive and defensive, so that no matter what happens, it will not push itself into a desperate situation.

Since he had accepted the entrustment of Our Lady of the Holy Mountain and it was related to the legacy of his late father, he thought that he had done his best to reach this point.

The Beidou button continued to flash in his hand.

No reply was received from Ji Ming.

Behind him, the Shenshan tribe members were already divided into two sides under the guidance of Sha Jin and Elegy. On one side were the members who agreed and were willing to follow Jiang Qian, and on the other side were the elders headed by the Crazy Python old woman who reserved their opinions and maintained independence.

Unsurprisingly, no one chose to "leave" because it was impossible to return the power of the ancestral gods...

Answer the phone... Jiang Qian rubbed his buttons and sighed inwardly.

An ominous premonition is arising.

"No, it's not good! Lord Protector!"

Someone hurriedly rushed in from outside, obviously a member of the Shenshan tribe who was obeying the orders of the Crazy Python old woman, and hurriedly reported: "Lawful officials, lawful officials are attacking from the south and north!"

"what?!"

While everyone was in shock, the Beidou button in Jiang Qian's hand was finally connected!
Ji Ming's almost gloomy question came from the other side: "Jiang Qian, what are you doing?"

"The matter here is already clear. Everyone has gained the stolen goods. We can talk about it in person!" Jiang Qian said simply.

However, Ji Ming sighed: "It's too late!"

"?"

"The plan has changed. The tree clan elders have joined forces with the feather clan elders to break the restrictions of the fog, and the troops are divided into two groups to attack the temple!"

Ji Ming's voice contained rare suppressed anger:

"I'm traveling with the Tree Clan, and Princess Senxi is also on the team. I need to ensure her safety."

He didn't stop her... Jiang Qian said quickly: "Thank you, Minister, for buying time! But you can't get any closer. The restrictions set up outside the temple are extremely dangerous and may hurt Princess Senxi."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qian heard the heavy breathing from Ji Ming, which showed that the other party was not in a good mood.

But he continued: "Intelligence is of great importance, and I can only contact the minister and Mr. Lan alone."

……

Ji Ming closed the Beidou button and looked sideways at Sen Xi behind him:
"heard it?"

The two of them were currently riding on the back of Ji Ming's beast king griffin, soaring in the boundless dark mist.

"Well, you can rest assured. Thank you, Minister Ji."

Princess Senxi smiled brightly and immediately ordered Elder Xiangyang and Yuteng: "Let's retreat."

"But...?" Tree Clan Yuteng hesitated to speak.

"It doesn't matter. I already know that the benefactor is fine. This matter should be returned to Minister Ji Ming's disposal."
