Chapter 30: The Standing Elders Who Were Attacked at the Same Time
Wumeng Headquarters.
It had been a few hours since several giants of the underground world came to Wumeng, and it was already evening.
Only the tea on the countertop was changed one cup after another, and the ashtrays were filled with cigarette butts, and no one left the table.
They wanted to leave, but they didn't dare, although they were all giants of the underground world, but they all knew that it was the Council of Elders behind them who really did the master.
Today they can be in this position, tomorrow they may be dragged off the throne of power, and they will remain in the presbyterian church, so no one dares to go!
The Council of Elders is the first head, and it is divided into five elders, the second elders, and the five permanent elders.
It is served by the elders of the forces behind their respective forces, and the number of people in the Council of Elders is different for each force, which is intended to protect the cake of Huhai from the erosion of foreign forces.
The reason why the Lutheran Church can dominate the Shanghai Sea and play the role of sharing the cake is because the forces behind the Lutheran Church are the strongest, followed by the Wumeng, and then the four major gangs that are uneven.
In the Council of Elders, the chief elder is the Lutheran elder, the second elder is the Wumeng elder, each of the four major gangs has an elder who serves as the executive elder of the Presbyterian Church, and the remaining one executive elder is the elder of the 'Boss' Lutheran Church.
Whoever calls someone has a big fist, and it is understandable that there is one more person in the Council of Elders to check and balance.
The second elder of the Council of Elders is from the Wumeng, unlike the four major gangs and the Lutheran Church, some of them have to cross half of the Shanghai Sea in a hurry, but what is the identity of the second elder? Those standing elders have not yet come, why should they go in first and wait for them?
At this time, in a courtyard of Wumeng, a middle-aged man who looked like a peasant uncle, crossed his legs, drank small tea, smoked a big hookah, and glanced at the old man with a beard who was also sitting on a rattan chair next to him.
The bearded old man held a smoking gun in his hand, and he swallowed the clouds and spitted out the mist, which was dry smoke.
At the other end of the courtyard, a tea table surrounded three middle-aged men, they were not drinking tea, they were eating melon seeds, looking at the two people on the other side, as if they were watching a big show.
"Lao Qin, I said that you are not too young, why don't you listen to people's persuasion? Try hookah, after all, it is filtered by a water."
The middle-aged man who looked like a farmer's uncle broke the silence and spoke.
"What's the difference between a cigarette like yours and a tobacco in your mouth?"
The old man with a beard known as Lao Qin, tapped the cigarette gun, got the cigarette ash off the muzzle, and took a puff, just like smoking a big cigarette, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and his expression was quite enjoyable.
Then he sneered disdainfully: "Old man Wu, do you know what smoke is? ”
The identities of these two people are not simple, the bearded old man is Qin Tiande, the eldest elder of the Elders' Council, and the middle-aged man who looks like a peasant uncle is the second elder Wu Li Bai.
The three people in the corner on the other side of the courtyard who ate melons and watched the big show were several deacons and elders of the Wumeng.
Who would have thought that the real decision-makers of the underground world of Shanghai and Hai would be ordinary old uncles who could no longer be ordinary and pick their feet? I am afraid that these people will not be recognized by acquaintances when they are thrown into the crowd.
At this time, they were actually arguing about the pros and cons of water, drought and tobacco, and they were about to fight if they couldn't get along, but in fact they were not.
"As long as the boss stays with this old man Qin, won't he feel uncomfortable if he doesn't quarrel for two sentences? ”
"By the way, are our boss and Old Man Qin two people in their lives?
"Shhhh ”
On the other side of the courtyard, three people muttered to each other.
Qin Tiande didn't come to Wumeng today, he didn't come to this courtyard to find Wu Li Bai to catch up, nor did he come to pick thorns, but Qin Shuyi's kid asked the people below to call him.
What kind of person is Qin Shuyi, can Qin Tiande, who is also a member of the Qin family, know?
Although his cultivation is not very good, he has no choice in terms of management, and he manages the Lutheran Church in an orderly manner, making a lot of money for the sect, and the underground world of Shanghai and Haihai is also 'Guotai and Min'an', which is very orderly.
"If it weren't for some tricky big things, he wouldn't have alarmed my old man" Qin Tiande thought to himself, and then put down the cultivation major matter and rushed to the Wumeng in a hurry.
Because the Wumeng and the Xinyi Society were located in the center of Shanghai, Qin Tiande was the first to come to the Wumeng.
The disciples of the Xinyi Society at the gate of the Wumeng told them that the other standing elders had not yet arrived, just kidding, our great elders are here, we can't wait for those few melon babies, right?
Since he wanted to put on the shelf of the elder, Qin Tiande had no choice but to go to Wu Li Bai to 'catch up'.
......
The three deacons and elders of the Martial League were about to watch the play, and a disciple of the Martial League came in the courtyard, which extinguished their minds.
This Wumeng disciple came in and said, no, so he stammered, "A few 、、、 elders of the Standing 、、、 Affairs can't come 、、、 it." ”
"What? Are those melon babies beaten up? Lao Tzu is in a hurry, they dare not listen to the call of the letter and righteousness?"
Qin Tiande, who listened to this sentence with difficulty, was about to take the case, but fortunately, his good friend Wu Li Bai asked him to calm down for a while, so that the disciple finished speaking.
It turned out that several standing elders were assassinated one after another on the way to the letter, as promised.
After listening to the reply of this martial arts disciple, several people were not in a hurry to go to the martial arts hall, Qin Tiande glanced at Wu Li Bai, as if he had eaten a dead fly, frowning, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
Wu Li Bai naturally understood his suffering, understood what he meant, and gave him a reassuring look.
As soon as the Wumeng disciple withdrew from the courtyard, Wu Li Bai beckoned to the deacon elder who was in charge of personnel arrangements.
The elder thought that he was going to lecture on martial arts, and the two bigwigs wanted to drive, making a petition in their hands, like eunuchs in ancient times, and sang in a sharp voice: "Get up~"
", you are all yin and yang, do you look like immortal cultivators?"
Wu Libai stretched out his hand and rewarded him with a chestnut, blew his beard and glared, and said angrily.
"Lao Tzu is asking you to change the position of the messenger disciple just now, no, from today onwards, don't let me see him again. ”
Qin Tiande and the three deacons and elders gasped in unison, their eyes widened, and they looked at Wu Li Bai incredulously.
Seeing the expressions of the few of them, Wu Libai didn't know that they had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "Hey, what kind of expressions do you have? Old, am I such a cruel person? I mean to let him leave the headquarters." ”
The personnel elder bowed slightly and replied, "Uh, uh, yes, arrange it immediately!"
Wu Li glanced at him in vain, and then turned to Qin Tiande and said: "Old Qin, this fact is strange, I make a bold guess, I'm afraid that there are 'outsiders' in Huhai who have taken a fancy to our piece of cake, what do you mean?"
Qin Tiande thought for a while, felt that it was not impossible, nodded and said: "It's not that there is no such possibility, let's go! ”
Several giants in the martial arts hall also received this news at this time, and Qin Shuyi also made a quick response.
Focus on and order the children of each gang to stay behind as soon as possible, and rush to the Wumeng rendezvous as soon as possible, it can be seen from the handling of this matter that it is not by chance that Qin Shuyi can become the president of the Lutheran Association.
After he gave a series of orders, Qin Tiande and Wu Li Bai also came to the lecture hall, followed by the three deacons and elders of the Wu League.
From the entrance of the martial arts hall to the inner hall, from the two disciples of the martial arts alliance at the door, to several giants, they all bowed slightly and greeted respectfully.
"Great Elder, Second Elder. ”
Qin Tiande and Wu Li Bai nodded, Qin Tiande waved his hand and said, "Sit down! ”
Of course, what the Great Elder was talking about was not a restless person, but the fact that several Standing Elders were attacked and killed, and Qin Shuyi naturally knew.
Qin Shuyi sat up straight and arched his hand towards Qin Tiande and said, "Senior Elder Hui, according to the reports of his subordinates, several standing elders were attacked and killed at the same time, and they were also attacked not far from the station in the gang. ”
"Even the fatal wounds on their bodies are the same, at the center of their eyebrows. ”
"Also, there is a mark left next to the corpse, an exact mark. ”
After Qin Shuyi finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and handed it to Qin Tiande, "Please take a look at the Great Elder, Second Elder." ”
Taking over the phone, the more Qin Tiande and Wu Li Bai looked at it, the more their brows furrowed.
On the screen of the phone is a photograph of a corpse lying on the ground, with a conspicuous mark on the ground, which is drawn in blood, much like a burning fire.
What shocked the two elders was that the expression on the face of the person in the photo was very peaceful, and he died peacefully!
In this case, there are two most likely cases.
The first situation is that it is not a person who kills them, but a ghost to put it bluntly.
In the second case, the strength of the people who killed them was very strong, far exceeding the strength of several of them, so that they did not realize how they died until they died.
As an immortal cultivator, I don't believe in the first statement, not that I don't believe in ghosts, ghosts are actually a kind of soul energy body.
Ordinary ghosts are not as terrifying as people think, but they are actually very weak.
Legend has it that there are powerful ghosts, but they are not called ghosts, they are sucked by the soul energy, and the soul is strong enough to become a body, and then cultivate, which is for the ghost to cultivate.
When it comes to the level of ghost cultivation, the appearance characteristics are no different from those of humans, and they can cultivate the exercises and martial arts of human immortal cultivators.
Ghost cultivators are not suitable for living in this plane, but in another plane that is even lower.
If the first possibility is excluded, then it is very likely to be the second case, and of course there are third and fourth cases, but this possibility is very small.
Qin Tiande and Wu Li Bai glanced at each other, and their faces became more and more ugly.
They all know what the strength of several permanent elders is, although they are standing elders, it is because the forces behind them are just one line behind them compared to the big elder and the second elder.
Everyone's strength is almost the same, think about it from another perspective, if they are several permanent elders, I'm afraid the end will be the same.
Thinking of this, the eldest brother and second brother of the two elders felt a chill in their backs, and they shivered in unison.
