Text 13 - The House of the Elders
"This is the place where you practiced before you were six years old, then you will take me to have a good time, haha. Ouyang Xuan looked at Ling Nuo and said with a smile.
"Okay, but before 8 o'clock in the evening on the 15th of July, we must reach the main peak of Qinhuangling, the top of the White Mountain, so that we can get the Nine-clawed Dragon Pei. ”
"What time is it today? ”
"July 13th. Ling Nuo said lightly.
"Then it's better to hurry up, or it's too late. Ouyang Xuan hurriedly said.
"What's the hurry, Ling Ying and Blackthorn have already gone, we still have two days to go. It's just that you have to walk, take the path. Give it to you, eat it. Ling Nuo said as he gave the grilled fish to Ouyang Xuan.
"Eat slowly, be careful of the fish bones, hehe. Ling Nuo scratched Ouyang Xuan's nose with his middle finger and said.
"Uh-huh. ”
A huge complex of buildings in the imperial capital, which has stood here for more than 500 years, still retains the colors of ancient China. Speaking of which, you may have thought of Bauhinia City. But no, it's not Bauhinia City, it's one of the nine families, the home of the Xuanyuan family. And right in this manor, "Do you see clearly, he's really dead." A young man said excitedly. He is the Xuanyuan family, the candidate for the next generation of family heads, Xuanyuan Zhi.
"Yes, young master, my subordinates saw with their own eyes, Ling Nuo was going up the mountain at that time, but a big truck on the opposite side, because it was out of control and swooping down, it was Ling Nuo who drove the car down the cliff in order to avoid the car coming from the opposite side, the cliff was not low, and it was difficult for him to die. A big man said respectfully to the young man.
"Have you seen that kid's body? The young man had suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the big man, and said in a cold voice.
"This ...... No, the subordinates were afraid that when they went down the mountain to search, they would be noticed by the Ling family and cause unnecessary trouble, so they came to report to the young master first and asked the young master to decide. ”
"If you want to see the corpse when you die, go down the mountain to find it, but don't startle the snake, you go first and I will finish handling the affairs here, and I will also arrive, Nine-clawed Dragon Pei, I am our Xuanyuan family." Xuanyuan Zhi slapped it on the table and said fiercely;
"It's the young master. The big man said and walked out of this huge complex, this independent courtyard.
Huashan, on the top of the mountain here, stands an ancient castle, the castle is full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, the castle is written on two quaint big characters, 'Gumeng', the strange thing is that although it is on the top of the mountain, but there is no road to the bottom of the mountain, all the people who come here must climb up from the mountain.
Above the lobby in the city, five white-haired old men sat opposite each other, and the person above the first one spoke: "Elders, let's discuss it, the nine-clawed dragon pendant hidden in the Qinhuangling Mountains." ”
The Gumeng Elders' House, the role of the Gumeng Elders' House in the nine ancient families, is to check and balance the development of each family, the reason for the existence of the Gumeng Elders' House has to start from a hundred years ago, the Republic of China has been five years, all kinds of waste are new, just got rid of the shackles of feudal society, but the ancient family at that time did not have much influence in the changes in society.
The strength of the ancient family is strong, and the strength of the nine ancient families together far exceeds that of the national ZF at that time, and one mountain does not allow two tigers, so the national ZF at that time was very uneasy. I was always afraid that the Gu family would unite and rebel. So I took the side of Huairou, 'Zhao'an'. Named Zhao'an, it is actually to sow discord between the nine ancient families and further weaken the power of the ancient family, so as to ensure the stability of his own power.
Between the nine ancient families, there have been grudges for many years, and they usually fight openly and secretly, but they are almost the same in strength between each other, and there is a check and balance. But the intervention of the National ZF upset this 'balance'.
As a result, the families who are willing to be recruited have become the knives of the national government, and what this knife is aimed at are those ancient families who are unwilling to be recruited. After several years of war, the Gu family can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality, and the war finally ended with the flight of the Ouyang family, the Ling family, the Shi family, and the Nalan family. But on the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, at this time, the strength of the nine ancient families is not as good as before, and the five ancient families who were recruited were also forced to retreat into the mountains under the pressure of the national government.
Inherited for thousands of years, the Gu family is arrogant, so there is no idea of seizing power at all. However, the actions of the national government completely angered the nine ancient families, so there was a communist D with nothing and seized the world.
After the deliberation of the nine ancient family patriarchs, it was decided to establish the Gumeng Elders' House, and the nine ancient families, each with one person, were the elders of the Gumeng. One of its functions is to check and balance the development of each family, so as to prevent the ancient families from fighting again, and the second role is to shock the ancient families at a critical time, and make a unified and correct decision for the ancient families to ensure the interests of the ancient families. Consistent with the outside world.
Living in this world, there will be conflicts of interest and so on, and under the conflict of interests, there will be fights. Although the Gu Family Gu Alliance Council of Elders was established, this kind of struggle of interests is still continuous in the Gu Family. In order to prevent this kind of struggle from worsening and once again causing a war between the ancient families, and the gains outweigh the losses, the Ancient League Elders' House decided to hold an ancient clan conference on the top of Huashan every five years to resolve various grievances and grievances between the ancient families in the form of martial arts.
