Chapter 192: Clouds Moving (Part II)
Myoyan Palace area, Kungo clan land.
A slender man with slightly white skin stood quietly on the field of a school field in the clan field.
The man was dressed in a dark blue robe, and inside the robe was a slightly loose trouser of the same color.
I saw that the fingers of his hands were slightly bent, the fingertips were parallel to his sides, and the fingertips were obviously a little distant from the trouser line of his legs, but there was no trembling, and they were firmly suspended in the robe and buttoned at the edge of the pockets.
His gaze shifted half a minute upward, and the man's thumb was pressed behind the second knuckle of his index finger, with a dent on the inside of it that was neither too deep nor too shallow.
The dent is nothing unusual from a distance, and it is even too shallow to be noticed by outsiders.
But if you look inside, you will find that this is not the traces left by the delicate skin being squeezed at all, but a layer of skin cocoons that will accumulate over the years compared to the surrounding skin, which is smoother and smoother!
It's just that this layer of skin cocoons is too flat and delicate, and it looks like a dent compared to the white skin around it.
If you look closely, there are similar indentations not only on the thumbs of the man's hands, but also on different parts of his entire palm.
Most of these dents are concentrated in the inner side of the palm and between the fingers, and are more difficult to detect than the indentations on the side of the thumb.
It's hard to imagine what kind of training would make such a pair of hands full of smooth calluses.
But this inadvertent detail is silently showing that this man is not as weak as he appears on the outside.
The wind on the school field is not light, and the sound of whirring wind blowing in the ears has an obvious impact on people's hearing.
In the never-ending sound of the wind, the ground of a school field behind the man trembled slightly.
It was the man's blind spot, and his current position was not in a position sufficient to see the anomaly on the school grounds behind him.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from under the ground of the school yard and jumped towards the young man who was standing quietly in place at a very fast speed.
I saw that the figure looked much longer than normal due to its rapid speed.
He held a sharp weapon with a dark sheen in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and in an instant handed it to the man's approach, and stabbed him straight behind him.
Seeing that the tip of the knife was already close to the man's robe that was blown up by the wind blowing in the field, and even the fabric on it, which had been filled with air and had become slightly bulging, had been pressed down and cut open by the sharp weapon, he still stood quietly in place, as if he had not heard the piercing sound of the fabric tearing behind him, and remained motionless.
At this time, not to mention the sharp weapon behind him that had already cut through his robe, even the figure that launched the surprise attack was already extremely close to the man.
The wind pressure brought by the speed reversed the man's robe and tightened it, and the tip of the knife, which did not reflect the slightest light, was buried in the robe in an instant.
Strangely, the knife was clearly inserted into the man's robe, but the attacker's body seemed to have not encountered the slightest resistance, and his arm was buried deep in the dark blue robe without the slightest bend.
Seeing this happening, the raider unconsciously let out a soft snort, and his eyes were also confused for a moment.
For a brief moment when he lost his mind, the man who had been standing there like a statue moved.
Before the attacker could react when his entire arm was trapped in the dark blue robe, the man twisted his arm and pressed down with a light twist, wrapping the raider's arm firmly in the robe.
This was not the end, I saw that he grabbed the opponent's arm with his robe, and the raider's body, which was already in the air, instantly fell unbalanced towards the front of the man's side.
The sudden weightlessness and life-and-death crisis brought the raider back to his senses, only to see his arm wrapped in his robe slam violently, and the whole person crossed a steep fold line in mid-air and turned towards the man again.
However, at this moment, the initiative of both sides has been firmly grasped by the man.
After seeing the Raider turn around and rush towards him, he only leisurely loosened his robe holding the opponent's arm, and by inertia, the Raider suddenly lost his strength and lost his balance again, falling to the ground.
Seeing that the raider was still struggling to get up, the man shook his dark blue robe with a smile and kicked the raider with a "clang", knocking him unconscious.
And just as he raised his leg to deal with the raider, without warning, several gaps suddenly appeared on the ground on both sides of the school field in the direction of the man's back.
In the gap, several young men and women of the Kunwu clan who had been preparing for a long time jumped up at the same time, raised the energy weapons in their hands and launched an attack on the man.
These young men and women acted in an orderly manner, and when they flew out, they had already calculated the man's actions, so none of them were exposed to the other party's sight.
Under the cover of the cold wind, their movements can be described as silent and irregular.
Having received many cooperation trainings, they immediately pulled the trigger in their hands on the man.
In the face of such short, close-range firefights, there is no doubt that they have an absolute numerical advantage and can pursue the ultimate rate of fire at the expense of a certain hit rate.
For a while, I saw that the colorful streamers drawn by the energy bullets illuminated all corners of the school field.
The end of these colored streamers was the young man with his back to them, and even the corner of his eye could not detect half of them.
In just the blink of an eye, many energy bullets had already converged with each other and collided with each other at the man's location, hitting the figure with his back to the young men and women with lightning speed.
Seeing that their attack had hit the target, the young men and women couldn't help but have a look of joy on their faces.
However, this glimmer of joy froze on the young man's face in an instant as the energy bomb shattered the figure of the young man.
As if the raider's knife hadn't stabbed the man, the energy bullets of the young men and women of the Kungo clan were empty.
After all, the flesh will not be stirred up by energy bombs like bubbles.
Apparently, at some point, their target turned into a stand-in projected by a projection device.
Phewββ
Suddenly, a rapid sound of energy bursting through the air sounded in one of the crowds that were divided into two piles.
Immediately after, the people standing on the other side saw that the comrades who appeared with them on the school field not far from them fell to the ground.
When the last Kunwu young man fell to the ground, the figure of the young man in the dark blue robe slowly appeared behind the young man who fell to the ground, and waved his hand to the clansman opposite very easily.
"Shoot!"
I only heard a loud shout from the crowd of these Kunwu clansmen who were fighting together.
These young men and women, who had been waiting for the appearance of the young man for a long time, pulled the trigger in their hands one after another.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be unsurprised by his elusiveness, the young man shrugged helplessly.
At the same time as he shrugged his shoulders, the young man standing in the middle of the group of fallen Kunwu clan people shook his wrist several times in a row with his palm holding the energy weapon upside down against the Kunwu clan people who were standing opposite him.
With the shaking of his wrists and arms, a terrible whistling sound emerged from the energy weapon he held tightly.
I saw that the target of these beams was not the remaining young men and women of the Kunwu clan, but the energy weapons in their hands.
At this time, the firing ports of these energy weapons were just lit up with a colored glow brought out by the energy projectiles.
In just an instant, these energy bombs glowing with various colors and even the launch ports behind them were enveloped by warm beams of light.
Under the shroud of these beams, the colorful energy bullets lost their original color, and the energy weapons held by the young men and women of the Kunwu clan with handles shattered into slag one after another, leaving only a group of them standing in place with a dull look on their faces, and watched the young man who casually inserted the energy weapon back into his side pocket reached out and pulled the surrounding Kunwu clan people up.
Bang Bang Bang!
A crisp and loud applause rang out next to the school grounds.
The young man who helped the clansmen up and the rest of the Kunwu clan heard the sound, only to see a tall man who was not strong walking slowly towards the school grounds.
Except for the raider who was still unconscious, the rest of the Kunwu clansmen, including the young man, who saw the tall man, couldn't help but look upright, and respectfully saluted him and said:
"I've seen Xia Bo!"
The tall man, that is, Xia Bojisi, nodded when he heard this, stretched out his hand and dragged up a clansman who had fallen to the ground and was hurriedly getting up, and said to everyone:
"Everybody did a great job. Especially Ji Yi, who is worthy of being a genius in the clan who served as the leader of the clan joint investigation team at a young age, his performance just now is indeed very eye-catching!"
When the young man heard the patriarch's praise, there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows, and he still said very modestly:
"The patriarch has won the prize. Genius doesn't dare to be, the kid is just a little more diligent than the others. β
Ji Si nodded secretly when he heard Ji Yi's answer, but he pretended to be dissatisfied and said with a smile:
"It's a good thing to be modest, but being too modest can make me fuss about the patriarch!"
When Ji Yi heard this, he naturally heard the ridicule in the words of the patriarch of his family, and he also said flatteringly:
"The kid doesn't dare. The achievements that have been achieved today are due to the cultivation and teaching of the clan. β
Hearing this, Ji Si felt more and more satisfied, and the resentment at the temporary meeting of the Ancient Clan Order Management Committee earlier was also relieved a little.
After continuing to chat with the other clansmen, Ji Si called Ji Yi aside alone.
Standing on the edge of the school field, Ji Si looked at the many carefree Kunwu clan people who were training and playing, and sighed slightly, and then asked Ji Yi beside him:
"You've also spent a lot of time in the Clan Joint Investigation Team, what do you think of the relationship between our clan and other ancient clans?"
As the patriarch of the Kunwu clan, even for Ji Yi, the leader of the younger generation of the clan, Ji Si is also a figure that the dragon can see without seeing the head and the tail, and it is rare to see him.
Therefore, Ji Yi also had some guesses about Ji Si's appearance in the school field, and he was afraid that the clan would have some task assigned to him.
But he never thought that his patriarch would ask him such a complicated question from such a young man so abruptly.
After all, the leader of the younger generation sounds good, but compared to the long-lived Heavenly Court people, the Kunwu clan patriarch Ji Si is afraid that he can see hundreds or thousands of talents in the clan like him in his lifetime.
It's just that since the other party asked, Ji Yi had to answer.
However, the answer in his heart was actually not so optimistic, so Ji Yi was also a little stumbling.
What is the situation of his own clan, of course, he is clear, so when he saw the appearance of Ji Yi wanting to talk and stopping, he also said to him coolly:
I won't blame you for being wrong, but you know the consequences of deceiving me. β
Seeing Ji Si say this, Ji Yi also knew that he had to answer his own observations and opinions truthfully, so he took a deep breath and said cautiously:
"The kid thinks that the relationship between our Kunwu clan and other ancient clans doesn't seem to be particularly harmonious. β
"Just not getting along?"
Ji Si glanced at Ji Yi, who was looking at his face nervously, and repeated the second half of the sentence slightly.
Seeing Ji Si's expression of smiling but not smiling, and not angry, Ji Yi, who was a little unsure of the patriarch's meaning, could only say stubbornly:
"As far as the kid's experience is concerned, our Kunwu clan is a little ...... except for a few clans such as the Jumang clan, which is better with a few clans Some are outside the rest of the eight clans!"
Ji Si nodded, and Ji Yi's answer did not surprise him.
In fact, Kungo's situation may be worse than what Zhiyi has seen.
It must be known that the Kunwu clan is after the Shaohao Qingyang clan, but the ancestral land of the Shaohao Qingyang clan is the west of the Heavenly Court, and the Miaoyan Palace where the Kunwu clan is located is at the east pole of the Heavenly Court.
On the bright side, many ancient clans have always felt that the Kunwu clan is the son of the Shaohao Qingyang clan interfering in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Taihao Fuxi clan.
Only he, the patriarch of the Kunwu clan, knows in his heart that on weekdays on the clan order management committee, he is relying on the origin of his clan to follow the Shaohao Qingyang clan Houhu fake tiger power, and the real friendship with their clan is the several clans headed by the Jumang clan.
And the reason for this situation stems from the disagreements between the various clans after the age of the gods.
Being in the East Pole, the Kunwu clan can not receive much support from the Shaohao Qingyang clan.
When the gods still existed, the gods of the Kunwu clan were aspiring to compete with the emperor, and they had all the strength and skills, so they naturally did not worry about resources.
But when the gods disappeared, as there were more and more ordinary Heavenly Court people in the clan, the disadvantages of the Kunwu clan's heritage and even the lack of hard power were revealed.
The so-called mountain high emperor is far away, not to mention that the Shaohao Qingyang clan is just a Western God?
And when the Kunwu clan, which was already without a pillar god, was fighting alone without the support of the Shaohao Qingyang clan, it turned from a top-level ancient clan into a situation where it could not make ends meet.
At this time, in order to meet its own huge resource consumption, the Kunwu clan had to drive away from the branch veins and seek a way to survive.
It was only under the ambitions of the branch clans of the Kunwu clan and the Jumang clan that the Xinxing clan gradually had signs in the heavenly court.
And the changes of people in turn affected the clan, and the Kunwu clan at this time was getting farther and farther away from many ancient clans.
This kind of going farther and farther is not formal, but ideological and cognitive.
The most important point is that the younger generation of the Kungo clan has accepted many of the influences brought by the era of the gods, and even majored in firearms skills.
And most of the ancient clans still follow the ancient system, following the path left by the first gods.
It is actually difficult to say whether the two are familiar or inferior, because they are both realms that the Heavenly Court people of the Divine Age cannot reach.
However, the difference in thinking and understanding is real, and it inevitably creates a gap.
Of course, due to the existence of its own life sequence system, this estrangement is relative and built on the same system.
Therefore, the Kunwu clan is still an ancient clan.
However, its relationship with other clans is stiffened by the lack of a common language.
Ji Si groaned for a while, but he didn't make any comments on Ji Yi's words, and continued to ask him:
"And what do you think of our relationship with the many emerging clans?"
This time, Ji Yi answered very happily, and it also invisibly reflected the different status of the ancient clan and the emerging clan in his heart.
"Our Kunwu clan has a fairly close relationship with many emerging clans, and as far as I know, the emerging clans that have daily trade with our Kunwu clan cover nearly sixty percent of the emerging clans in the eastern pole of the Heavenly Court. Perhaps compared to other ancient clans, many emerging clans are just more or less related to them, and our Kunwu clan is the one who really mingles with many emerging clans, goes deep into them, and has extensive contacts. β
Speaking of this, Ji Yi paused slightly, and asked Ji Si with some hesitation:
"Boy has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"
Ji Si looked at Ji Yi's inquiring appearance, nodded with a smile, and said to him:
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. β
With the permission of the patriarch of his family, Ji Yi's spirits lifted and he continued:
"The kid thinks that it is good for our Kunwu clan to be close to the emerging clans, but we should also be careful not to have close personal relations with many emerging clans. β
"There have been some bad rumors in the market, and I think that the rest of the ancient clans are estranged from our Kunwu clan, and these rumors are not unrelated. β
"After all, the emerging clan is a group of nouveau riche who are mercenary and money-seeing, and although there are some long-term people, but nine times out of ten they are dragged down by their clansmen and difficult to be neighbors. β
Ji Yi's words were very straightforward, but Ji Si was not dissatisfied with this.
On the contrary, Ji Si's eyes became more and more appreciative as he watched Ji Yi.
The question that Ji Yi said is very simple, but this simple question is something that most people can't raise or don't want to think about and say.
The reason for the birth of the emerging clan is clear to the people of the entire Heavenly Court.
But even under the rule of the ancient clans, no one wants to point out that this is wrong.
It is precisely because of this situation that there are many black markets hidden in various new cities.
The emerging clans escorted it, and the black market fed the excessive expenses of the emerging clans.
Essentially, this is similar to the relationship between the Kungo clan and the emerging clan.
It's just that, in the final analysis, the establishment of a black market and aiding the abuses is wrong, and it is not the same as the relationship between the Kungo clan and the emerging clan.
There is no doubt that most of the emerging clans have some parts that are more or less entangled with the "darkness" that should not exist in the Heavenly Court.
However, this is blind to most of the Kunwu clansmen, and even to many of the people of the clan joint investigation team.
Because when they were receiving the material feedback of the emerging clans, they also accepted the spiritual indoctrination that was preached and advocated by the emerging clans.
The Xinxing clan said to the people of the Heavenly Court:
There are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies.
To them, this can be applied to all situations.
However, this is not the case, it is a fact that can only be seen by standing at a certain height or from a special angle.
The reason why people are human beings and intelligent lives are intelligent lives lies in the fact that people's clothing, food, housing and transportation are not a process of profit-seeking, but a process of survival.
To live is to live, and to live is to live.
Perhaps it is to a certain extent that the process of manifesting it is to make money to support the family.
But making money is not the goal, but the process, and raising a family is not a life, but just a need.
He is clear about this fact.
Because the vast majority of the ancient clans, even the Kunwu clan when he was a child, lived a life that did not live for profit.
The reason why this is the case is that there is no black market in those "old cities", even the "old cities" managed by the Kunwu clan.
Of course, this does not show how noble the people of the ancient clan were.
It simply shows that these groups that have stood at the top of the Ancient Heavenly Court since ancient times have unswervingly inherited the foundation left by the first gods and can make a civilization endure for a long time.
However, he can guarantee that he will not be influenced by that set of fallacies, but it is difficult to guarantee that the younger generation of the Kunwu clan will not.
After all, he had lived through the kind of good times when the gods were alive, while the younger generation of the Kungo clan had grown up under the onslaught of information from the emerging clan.
This is something that he has no choice but to do, because the Kunwu clan wants to maintain this relationship of relying on the new clan to feed.
This is also where he suffers, because it is he, the leader of the Kungo clan, who has lived up to the expectations of his father "Xia Bo" and brought his clan to the current situation.
It's just that I don't regret it, or I don't regret it, but I'm just a little worried.
Because it is not only the younger generation that is affected, to be precise, the "younger generation" for Ji Si has already become the pillar of the Kunwu clan.
And his cultivation situation is not as good as after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or even as Wuqi, he has lived for so long, and he is about to expire.
Maybe when this matter is over, he should also consider the question of the successor of the Kungo clan.
Probably on the ancient clan order management committee, Ji Shan has done so many years of dog legs, that is, it can ensure that he can sit firmly in the position of the head of the Kunwu clan even if he chooses a hairy boy "after a hundred years", right?
It's just a split second, and I've thought a lot.
Obviously, he was very optimistic about this new star of the younger generation who was able to enter the clan joint investigation team and mingle with many ancient clan children and have a different from other Kunwu clan children.
I saw Ji Si smile noncommittally and pat Ji Yi on the shoulder, but he finally talked about the reason why he asked Ji Yi to the side for a secret talk.
"Yun Zhongjun Wuqi is dead. He died less than a hundred miles from the east side of the temple. β
Jisi's words were very abrupt, but they were not difficult to understand.
At least Ji Yi was only stunned when he heard this, and instantly understood what the patriarch of the self-family wanted to say.
It's just that when he learned the news, his eyes were still full of shock that was difficult to hide.
The words that came out of his mouth were naturally 100% true, but even if Ji Yi, as the leader of an investigation team of the clan joint investigation team, had already handled many big and important cases, he couldn't believe for a while that Yun Zhongjun, who was qualified to sit in a row with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, would die so abruptly.
What's more, according to the patriarch of the Zi family, Yunzhong Jun Wuqi died in the suburbs of the eastern district in front of the palace?!
However, shock is shock, and it does not delay Jiyi from asking and guessing some details from a professional point of view.
"Yes...... Is it Xiong's hand?"
When he asked, Ji Yi was a little trembling, because everyone knew very well what kind of clan the Xiong clan was.
If it was really the Xiong clan who took action to kill Yunzhongjun Wuqi, I am afraid that even the Jumang clan where Wuqi was located would no longer exist.
Then this incident will evolve into the first case of an ancient clan being artificially exterminated since the era of the self-proclaimed gods, and it is difficult to say whether the Kunwu clan, which is in a similar situation and entangled with the emerging clan, will follow in its footsteps.
Fortunately, Ji Si shook his head when he heard Ji Yi's question, and gave him a negative answer.
"Ji Wu denied at the extraordinary meeting that the Xiong clan had anything to do with this matter, and it should have nothing to do with the affairs of the emerging clan. β
Hearing Ji Si say this, Ji Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then his brows furrowed, and he said with some uncertainty:
"Since it has nothing to do with the Youxiong clan, that kid has recently heard some rumors about the Receiving Pavilion in the clan joint investigation team, could it be related to them?"
Ji Si nodded and shook his head, and said to Ji Yi with deep meaning:
"The truth of the matter remains to be investigated, and the Ancient Clan Order Management Committee has decided to send members of the younger generation of the joint investigation team of various clans to the Tongming Hall area to investigate......
Speaking of this, Ji Si deliberately paused, and then looked at Ji Yi and said slowly and seriously:
"Some of the rumors are not groundless. This incident is not a good thing for our Kunwu clan. β
"Do you know what I mean?"
Ji Yi straightened up, solemnly and seriously made a tribal salute to Ji Si who was standing in front of him and looking at his eyes, and solemnly promised him:
"The boy understands!
