Volume 1 The Adorable Boy Chapter 1 Don't say it, I'm tired
Broken Demon City, the largest city in the Trapped Demon Valley within a radius of thousands of miles.
The Demon Flow Mansion is the top sect in the Demon Breaking City, and even in the entire Trapped Demon Valley.
The Moliu Mansion occupies a large area in the city, with green tiles and vermilion eaves, and floors and pavilions. In a secret room in the deepest part of the Demon Stream Mansion, under the dim candlelight, five rosewood Taishi chairs lined up against the wall.
Sitting with their backs to the wall were five middle-aged and elderly men in black robes.
Across from them, a seventeen-year-old boy was bored admiring his nails, silently listening to the old men's discussions.
The young man's face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like a star, his nose is like a hanging gall, his lips are greased, his long hair is flowing behind his ears, and the light blue and beige caftan on his body is very fitting, so that the young man has a feeling of a jade tree in the wind.
Although there was no wind in the secret room.
And it is full of the strong smell of gunpowder.
The old man sitting in the center raised his voice and said, "Don't say any more." The instructions given by the Mansion Master himself, what else do we have to argue?"
An old man next to his left hand said, "Great Elder, there have been no new elders promoted in the mansion in the past ten years, so this time it's too child's play, right?"
A person on the right hand side said: "Even if you are promoted, you should choose from the disciples who are old enough and have stronger ability to do things!"
Another person said: "And the selected ones must have great merit, and they must serve the people! With hundreds of disciples up and down our Demon Stream Mansion and hundreds of years of inheritance, how can the position of elder be passed on lightly?"
The old man in the middle was a little angry and said, "You have an opinion to ask the mansion master to raise! What are you yelling at me, I'm still inexplicable!"
Everyone saw that the Great Elder lost his temper, so they had to keep silent.
Then, the five of them tacitly looked at the handsome young man sitting on the horizontal back chair with a reclining seat.
The young man finally withdrew his gaze from his slender jade fingers, and said with a wry smile: "Big guys, although I am very handsome, I am also under pressure when you look at me so hungrily." ”
"After all, it's not my fault that I'm handsome. If you want to admire a quiet beautiful man, please add a few more candlesticks to brighten the light. ”
The handsome young man said and yawned as if no one was around.
"Flower alone shows ......!"
A grumpy elder said angrily, "Do you know what kind of occasion this is?
Hua Duxiu said: "Am I not serious enough? If I am more serious, it will not match my temperament, 'too much'." ”
Having said that, in order to show respect, Hua Duxiu sat up a little straighter.
The Great Elder hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's be quiet." ”
"Hua Duxiu, the lord of the mansion has passed down an order to promote you to the ninth elder of the Demon Stream Mansion, are you willing to serve as the lord?"
Hua Duxiu asked, "Is being an elder just like you?"
The Great Elder said, "Yes, the Elder has a transcendent status in the mansion and is respected. If you agree, you are the youngest elder in the hundreds of years of the Demon Flow Mansion Creation Sect. ”
The Great Elder spoke, and the other four all looked at Hua Duxiu with an ignorant look with extremely complicated eyes.
O elder!
It took them almost half a lifetime of life and death hard work and great feats to climb to the position of elders.
And an ignorant boy who was only seventeen years old, who had only been in the Demon Stream Mansion for only three years, was actually favored by the Lord of the Mansion and wanted to be promoted to the ninth elder of the Demon Stream Mansion?
What is the reason of heaven!
He, why!
If it weren't for the lord of the mansion who was full of words and authority, they really wanted to make a big fuss collectively.
But they didn't dare.
So they could only complain to the Great Elder, and then stare at Hua Duxiu with a look of resentment.
Hua Duxiu hurriedly interjected: "Great Elder, I didn't mean that. I mean...... If I become an elder, do I have to wear black robes every day like you?"
The Great Elder was stunned and said, "Black robe, this is a 'black demon robe' that only elders can wear, it is a symbol of status, do you know that most of the people in the Demon Flow Mansion will never have the opportunity to wear this dress in their lifetime!"
Hua Duxiu: "I ......"
Hua Duxiu was just about to speak, but the Great Elder interrupted: "Can't wait? Don't worry, when you officially take office, these will all be there." ”
"No, no, no," Hua Duxiu hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean, this dress is too dark and loose, will it look too dull when you wear it?"
"You're all an elder, you still care about this?!"
"I don't care! I'm not like you old men, I'm a young man with a lot of energy! Doesn't wearing this thing hide my heroic charm?"
"So, can I not wear it?"
The Great Elder said angrily, "You ......!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Hua Duxiu, is this something you can bargain for? The position of elder is so honorable, you should be grateful!"
Several elders took turns criticizing, Hua Duxiu rolled his eyes, and had to lower his head again to fiddle with his beautiful fingers like jade onions.
The Great Elder took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "The matter of clothes is not important. Hua Duxiu, what else do you want to ask besides clothes? If not, the old man is now going to officially announce the appointment of the lord of the mansion. ”
The elders immediately became serious.
After all, the appointment of a new elder was a major event that had not been seen in the Demon Flow Mansion for ten years.
They are witnesses, the youngest elder in the history of the Demon Flow Mansion, and they are about to be born!
Soon, this will be the entire Demon Stream Mansion, no!
Even the Nine Realms of the World, other famous factions will compete to discuss major matters!
A top-level sect, a seventeen-year-old elder!
Everyone stared at Hua Duxiu very solemnly.
But Hua Duxiu himself is not solemn at all.
Hua Duxiu hurriedly raised his hand: "I have a problem!"
The Great Elder frowned and said, "Why do you have so many questions?"
"Eh, Great Elder, can't you ask?"
“...... Yes, then you ask. ”
Hua Duxiu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Then after I become an elder, do I have to do something on weekdays?"
"Of course, do you think the elder is a nice job?" said the irascible yellow-bearded elder on the right-hand side.
"Elder Niu, you are so fierce every day, be careful that your blood pressure is too high and your head is dizzy!" Hua Duxiu raised his forehead and looked at the sky.
"You...... What are you talking about!" Elder Niu stood up angrily.
"Sit down, sit down, don't be angry...... Alas. The Great Elder hurriedly grabbed Elder Niu and persuaded him.
"Humph!"
Elder Niu folded his hands around his chest and sat down indignantly, his head turned to the side.
The Great Elder took a deep breath again and said, "Hua Duxiu, as an elder, first of all, you have to refine the thirteen sets of swordsmanship and eight sets of boxing techniques in your own sect, and then regularly guide the three generations of disciples in the mansion to practice martial arts......"
Before the Great Elder finished speaking, Hua Duxiu's eyes widened: "What?
The Great Elder choked for a moment, and nodded with a stalk.
"Great Elder, my 'Demon Flow Wind Scar' Kung Fu has been cultivated to the consummation realm, so I don't need to learn swordsmanship from scratch, right?"
The Great Elder said patiently: "It is precisely because your body/kung fu has improved extremely fast that the Mansion Master cherishes you as a talent, so he made an exception to promote you to the position of elder." ”
"If you are promoted, you will be promoted, why do you want me to learn swordsmanship?" Hua Duxiu said dissatisfied.
“......”
The Great Elder's hands trembled slightly, obviously trying his best to control his emotions.
"You don't know all the thirteen sets of swordsmanship in the Demon Flow Mansion, how do you guide the three generations of disciples to practice martial arts, how do you walk the rivers and lakes as an elder?"
Hua Duxiu asked, "That is, you have to learn swordsmanship?"
Elder Niu said angrily: "It's not for your own good to let you learn swordsmanship! Hua Duxiu, you have been in the Demon Stream Mansion for three years, you don't learn a single move in the thirteen sets of swordsmanship, you don't practice any of the eight sets of fist techniques, and you don't practice any internal skills, if you go out like this, it is simply a shame for the Demon Stream Mansion!"
Hua Duxiu smiled: "Elder Niu, you really have to be careful of your blood pressure! It's really nonsense, I'm so handsome and talented, walking outside can only give the Demon Flow Mansion a long face, how can I be embarrassed?"
Elder Niu stood up again violently: "You ......!"
"Okay, okay, let's dissipate our anger, dissipate our anger, why bother to be like a child......" The Great Elder hurriedly pulled Elder Niu again.
The Great Elder said: "Hua Duxiu, the position of elder has important responsibilities, not only to participate in the internal and external affairs of the Demon Flow Mansion, but also to guide the disciples to practice martial arts. You don't practice swordsmanship, boxing, and internal strength, how can you guide you?"
Hua Duxiu sighed and said, "Great Elder, I know that you are for my good. But I really don't have time to cultivate those things, I'm too busy!"
"Then tell me, what can you do as a second-generation disciple?" the Great Elder said speechlessly.
"There are dozens of pots of flowers and plants to take care of in my small garden, I have to take a bath every morning and evening, I have to comb and maintain my long hair, I have to cut cucumbers to make a mask, I have to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and after dinner, if I am in a good mood, I have to listen to a little song, all of which take time!
Hua Duxiu spread his hands, and his face was full of "I'm also helpless".
"Bang!"
Rao is Great Elder has a very good temper and can't bear it, so he slapped his palm and stood up, interrupting Hua Duxiu's speech.
"Then you mean, you just don't agree?" said the Great Elder gloomily.
"It's not that I disagree, it's that I really don't have time! Great Elder, thank you for your kindness, such a good thing can remember me. You and the lord of the mansion appreciate my talent so much, Hua Duxiu remembers it in my heart. Hua Duxiu frowned like a breeze and a bright moon, and smiled.
"Still, let me be a quiet beautiful man!"
