Chapter 353: Ancestral Land
Ziling won the position of champion this time, and the trial meeting within the twelve cultivation families was over, and as for the reward of the champion, it was an internal matter of the twelve cultivation families.
After watching the good show, everyone left in twos and threes, and some members of the twelve families also began to return, only some of the core members did not leave.
The trial meeting once every ten years is not just a formality, it is as simple as promoting a champion through guò competition, otherwise there is no need to mobilize the people like that, there is a deeper reason for it, but that reason is the biggest secret shared by the twelve cultivation families, and it is not known to outsiders.
Except for Qiao Zhifei who left with a big loss of face, the other eleven family heads all stayed, and the Zi family, as the champion family this time, came forward and invited these people to go to the temporary settlement in Longmen Town to discuss some things there.
As the host, the Zi family walked in the front, a little later is the Guo family, and then a little later are other families, this order seems inconspicuous, but in fact, it is very mysterious, and the division of the strength and weakness of the family is reflected in this inconspicuous order.
Guo Tai's status in the Guo family is quite not low, and Guo Ziming walked on both sides of Guo Jing left and right, forming a form of support, while walking, Guo Tai said angrily: "Family master, that Jiang Feng is really ignorant, he dares to be so arrogant in front of you, he must give him a few colors, otherwise he really thinks that he is the best in the world." ”
"Give him a few colors, up to you?" Guo Jing said casually.
"Uh-" Guo Tai Hanran, after being rejected by Jiang Feng that night, he did have the idea of teaching Jiang Feng a lesson in person, but now that he has seen Jiang Feng's perversion with his own eyes, his little idea has long been extinguished, he went to give Jiang Feng a few colors, it is better to say that Jiang Feng gave him a few colors.
"Guo Tai, I know you don't like Jiang Feng, but does the strong need to care about the thoughts of the weak?" Guo Jing said lightly.
Qiao Zhifei used the favor of the Qiao family as a bargaining chip and asked the major families to help, the Guo family's move in that situation was not very conspicuous, but compared to the situation of one person from other families, the Guo family had four people at once, which was extremely abrupt.
It is not difficult for Guo Jing to imagine that there are traces of Guo Tai's meddling behind this, naturally, he doesn't really mind, after all, if Jiang Feng's strength is not good, he will die if he dies, and it is not worthy of his personal recruitment, and if Jiang Feng is not dead, it will just become a test for Jiang Feng.
Where did Guo Tai understand Guo Jing's thoughts, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, slowed down, two steps behind Guo Jing, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
At this time, Guo Ziming frowned and said, "Dad, did you say that Jiang Feng shirked your invitation because of our Guo family's action against him?"
Guo Ziming was cultivated by Guo Jing, and he knew Guo Jing's habits very well, and knew that Guo Jing lowered his stature, not because he was afraid of Jiang Feng, but to recruit Jiang Feng for the Guo family.
With the strength shown by Jiang Feng, Guo Ziming is naturally happy to see this happen, of course, Jiang Feng's final shirk also caused Guo Ziming's dissatisfaction.
Guo Jing said: "It shouldn't be, his eyelids are not so shallow, there should be something really wrong." ”
"So, what are the chances of recruiting him?" Guo Ziming then asked.
He and Jiang Feng are not mortal enemies, not to the point of not dying, although Jiang Feng has lost his face, he can be regarded as having found Jiang Feng's field, even if he can't get that field back, Guo Ziming didn't pay too much attention to it.
Moreover, once Jiang Feng is recruited into the Guo family, then he is a member of the Guo family, the stronger Jiang Feng is, the better it is, and the more contributions he can make to the Guo family, that is what Guo Ziming is looking forward to, and it is insignificant compared to personal grievances.
Guo Jing thought for a while, his voice was slightly deep, and said, "I estimate that it is less than fifty percent." ”
Fifty percent is a relatively ideal statement, Guo Jing's real idea is less than thirty percent, Jiang Feng is young and ambitious, in Guo Jing's opinion, his heart is higher than the sky, how can he be willing to succumb to others?
But I have to say that Jiang Feng's appearance today is indeed amazing, and Guo Jing's heart has to move his heart to love talents, and he has the intention of soliciting.
Of course, Guo Jing's solicitation is a solicitation, and such an incredible lowering of his figure is a little deliberate, trying to impress Jiang Feng with sincerity, so that Jiang Feng can be used by the Guo family is one thing, and on the other hand, he stepped on Qiao Zhifei fiercely without moving.
After all, although the Guo family is recognized as the number one family among the twelve cultivation families, this name does not have the slightest binding force, it is just a false name.
Guo Jing borrowed Jiang Feng's hand to make Qiao Zhifei apologize, on the surface, it seemed that it was to resolve the conflict, but the real intention was to step on Qiao Zhifei's foot, so that Qiao Zhifei could show his obedience to him, which could be regarded as a disguise, so that people from other families could see his influence.
It's a pity that Qiao Zhifei didn't apologize, and Jiang Feng didn't agree to his invitation in the end, which made Guo Jing a little regretful.
"Fifty percent, low. Guo Ziming shook his head, lowered his voice a little, and said, "Dad, if Jiang Feng really has something to do, it's okay, if not, then this person, I think, there is no need to keep it." ”
"I have my own plans. Guo Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
……
The geographical location of Longmen Town is relatively remote, it is very low in terms of development, it still maintains a rather old appearance, the town is not large, and there are thousands of households, and the foothold of the twelve families is in an ancient house at the end of the town.
This ancient mansion is a Qing Dynasty building, which was bought a few months ago, and after a little tidying, it was used as a foothold for the Twelve Cultivation Families here.
The group entered the ancient mansion and sat down in the hall, and immediately a servant came up with tea and snacks, Guo Jing waved his hand, and some irrelevant people immediately bent down and bowed their heads and retreated.
Taking a sip of tea, Guo Jing looked at Ziling and said with a smile: "Purple girl, you are also an uncle, I have grown up, if you don't make a move, you will be shocked, this is what surprised me uncle." ”
Uncle Guo laughed. Ziling hurriedly said.
"Where is the joke, you ask the uncles here if they think the same way as me. I guess there are a lot of people who want to snatch you back as a daughter-in-law at this time. Guo Jing said with a smile and a half-joking, casual tone.
As soon as these words came out, except for Shui Baimei, the eyes of everyone else fell on Ziling's body, feeling the heat revealed in those eyes, Ziling's face was slightly red, a little uncomfortable, and said: "Uncle Guo, don't make fun of me, where can I stand it." ”
"How can you not stand it, I said that if you can afford it, you can bear it, or else, you will marry into my Guo family, what do you think?" Guo Jing said.
This may sound like a joke, but it depends on how you understand it, and the angle of understanding is different, and the meaning you hear is also different.
Some people have strange faces, some people are thoughtful, and some people are waiting for Ziling's answer.
"Uncle Guo, if you joke again, Ziling won't follow it. Ziling stomped her foot slightly, pretending to be angry, and said with a wrinkled little nose.
Such a childish attitude was revealed, which made Guo Ziming, who was already a little interested in Ziling, look straight, but soon he restrained himself, and it was too obvious that he was not good.
"You...... You......" Guo Jing pointed at Ziling with one hand, laughed, and said: "Okay, I'm old, where can I understand the thoughts of you young people, and I won't say much about the things between you young people." ”
Ziling quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Guo Jing would hold on to this problem, in that case, she couldn't say that she was going to offend people today, and in that case, the most difficult thing to do was Zi Chengxiang.
Zi Chengxiang stood up with the teacup at this time, and said: "Thanks to everyone, you can look up to the little girl, and let the little girl win the championship of this trial conference, on behalf of the Zi family, thank you for your benevolence." ”
"The head of the Purple family is too polite. ”
"Ziling won the championship, which is well deserved, and there is no need to say so. ”
"The head of the Zi family gave birth to a good daughter, what a blessing. ”
……
Everyone responded, congratulated them from the bottom of their hearts, and each took a sip of tea, Zi Chengxiang sat down, groaned slightly, and said: "That matter, shouldn't I talk to the juniors, so that they can be psychologically prepared." ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces were a little stricter, Guo Jing nodded, and said: "Yes, it's time, this time, ten years have passed unconsciously, ten years, we have gained nothing, I hope they can gain something." ”
After a pause, Guo Jing said: "What I want to say now is the matter of the ancestral land of our twelve cultivation families, this matter is a matter of importance, I said ugly things in front, once someone leaks out, no matter who it is, it will be severely punished!"
"Yes!" Ziling, Guo Ziming and the others responded in unison, their expressions a little excited.
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Guo Jing said: " The ancestral land of the twelve families, you have been there every year when you worship your ancestors, it is a land of great luck, after you enter, there will be an unprecedented opportunity, even if it is not impossible to soar into the sky, but at the same time, it is also a place of great evil, you did not know the secret before, and you have never noticed any difference, but after I said it today, you must cheer up one by one, and keep every word I say in mind, otherwise that ancestral land is likely to be your burial place. ”
Guo Jing said very harshly, Ziling and the others all changed their faces, as for the heads of other families, they all didn't speak, they all knew what that ancestral land meant to them.
Then, in the huge hall, everyone's breathing was much more depressed, and only Guo Jing was heard alone, using an extremely concise way to describe the concealment of the ancestral land.
A place where the bones of the ancestors are buried, Ziling and others go to worship every year, but they never knew that there was such a shocking secret hidden in that land, and they all turned red and their hearts were surging.
"Okay, I've finished what I should say, half a month later, you will enter the ancestral land in batches, especially Ziling, the future of our twelve families will all fall on you. Guo Jing said in a deep voice.
Ziling knows. Ziling replied softly, her heart heavy. L
