Chapter 171: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Zhang Tianjiu walked up the stairs while flipping through the remaining memories of Lu Yuan in his mind, and soon had a detailed understanding.
The current Black Tiger Gate, there are about thousands of disciples, divided into two sects, inner and outer, of which most of the outer doors are spiritual children who have just entered the path of cultivation, and the main force of the inner gate is the disciples of the mage level.
There are a total of 26 elders, including 3 deacons and elders, who are in charge of all affairs in the door, 10 elders in the outer gate, and 10 elders in the inner gate.
The remaining three are the Supreme Elders, who are said to have almost stepped into the Venerable realm, and have been in retreat for many years, concentrating on cultivation, just to take that important step, unless they encounter a critical moment of the life and death of the sect, they may show up.
In other words, in addition to the sect leader Li Mu and the three deacon elders, Zhang Jiuye, the impostor of the inner door elders, still has great power in the Black Tiger Gate.
According to the original plan, Lu Yuan was sent to the front line of the war in the technological world outside the deacon hall, and it would take two years before he could be reincarnated back to the blue pluto normally.
Zhang Tianjiu naturally didn't have time to wait for two years, this time he returned early, first of all, he had to pass the deacon hall, although the inner door elders were extremely powerful, but they were also bound by the deacon elders, and they didn't do as they pleased.
The mountain to which the Black Tiger Gate belongs, there are three main peaks, and after Zhang Tianjiu stepped into the sect, he immediately went straight to the Black Elk Peak where the deacon's hall was located.
Although the Black Tiger Sect is now a down-and-out mountain gate, it is also a serious sect of cultivation, and it has been able to play with the Lingyun Sect for decades, so it naturally has its own heritage.
Everywhere Zhang Tianjiu walked along the way, there were all kinds of courtyards and attics, jade paving, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were planted on both sides.
Occasionally, when he encountered strange glances from a few ordinary disciples, Zhang Tianjiu didn't pay attention to them, and he didn't worry about revealing flaws at all.
In fact, even if Lu Yuan's deity appeared here, few of the outer disciples could be named, and the elder of the inner door was also a high-powered existence, and he lived in a simple place on weekdays, and ordinary people had no chance to contact him at all.
Ten minutes later, a three-story quaint building appeared at the end of the road.
Zhang Tianjiu habitually touched his bald head, and suddenly felt a lot more settled in his heart.
At the entrance of the open hall, a stone tablet stands on the right, with three big characters written on it.
Deacon's Hall.
Next to the stele, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged was closing his eyes and spitting, and when he heard the movement, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Tianjiu.
"This junior brother, what are you doing in the deacon hall?"
Zhang Tianjiu looked like he was in his twenties and thirties, and the middle-aged man subconsciously regarded him as an ordinary inner disciple.
"Old man Lu Yuan, I have something to see the deacon elders. ”
Zhang Jiuye continued to play the role of a cold inner door elder, and without saying much nonsense, he took off his waist card and threw it over.
"Lu, Lu Yuan?"
The middle-aged monk frowned slightly, the name seemed to be a little familiar, but it didn't match the bald fat man in front of him at all.
However, the moment the waist card was in hand, the middle-aged man's reaction was not much better than the two janitorial spirit boys before.
Suddenly shocked, his face showed an expression of being alive in broad daylight, and he stammered: "You, you, you...... Are you Elder Lu?"
Zhang Tianjiu frowned impatiently: "Naturally, it's an old man, can there still be a fake?"
The middle-aged monk swallowed a few salivas, and his eyes flickered: "You, you wait a minute, I'm ...... Go and report it. ”
As soon as the words fell, before Zhang Tianjiu could react, he ran in as if he was flying, and actually closed the door with his hand, as if there was a group of fierce ghosts chasing behind him.
Notification?
Zhang Tianjiu's eyes narrowed, looking at the closed door, and he vaguely smelled a trace of unusual smell.
When did it start that the elders of the inner gate of the hall had fallen into the same situation as ordinary disciples, and if they wanted to enter the deacon hall, they still needed to be notified in advance?
Could it be the new door rules set by Black Tiger Gate in recent years?
Reaching out and pushing it, I found that the door was actually locked from the inside.
Zhang Tianjiuqiang resisted the urge to break into the door and sat down next to the stone stele.
At the same time, the deacon's inner sanctum.
Three old men sitting on the futon, holding Lu Yuan's identity waist card in their hands, looked at each other.
The middle-aged monk stood in the corner of the main hall, and he didn't dare to come out.
After a moment of silence, the old man in black in the middle finally asked, "You say, what does the person who claims to be Lu Yuan look like outside?"
The male monk hesitated for a moment before he cautiously replied, "Elder Hui, he looks like he is about twenty years old, he is fat, and he is a bald ......."
"Nonsense, Elder Lu is obviously close to two hundred years old, and his longevity is approaching, how can it be that you describe such a look, it must be fake, just blast out!"
Before he could finish speaking, the cold old man on the left shouted, and directly shook his sleeves.
The deacon elder on the far right frowned slightly, and hesitated: "Elder Yan, it seems a little inappropriate to do this, so I might as well call in to check it." ”
Elder Yan snorted coldly: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it, whether he is true or not, there is nothing to check, the envoy of the Shangzong is coming in the next few days, and the matter of the Heavenly Oracle Trial ......"
The old man in the center suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Elder Yan, be cautious!"
After speaking, with a wave of his sleeves, he quickly laid a knot in front of the three of them, isolating the sound of the outside world.
After finishing the enchantment, Elder Li's complexion softened slightly, and he turned his head to look at both sides: "Okay, now that the people have returned, let's talk about what to do." ”
"What else can I do, this old ghost Lu is obviously approaching Shouyuan, so if he doesn't die, he will come back early at this time, he must have taken the risk of taking a new body, and his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. ”
"Isn't this a little too unkind, what will the other elders in the door think?"
"Hmph, then according to Elder Han, what do you mean, do you continue to offer this old ghost Lu? The biggest question is, the Heavenly Oracle Trial will be held in half a month, what if the envoy of the Shangzong chooses him?"
"This, this is a nuisance......"
"Okay, don't make any noise, the old man has an idea, the so-called bell still needs to be tied to the bell, why don't you just let Bailixuan come forward to solve it in person?"
"Hahaha, it's still Elder Li's clever idea, let the two of them fight by themselves, anyway, with Old Ghost Lu's current strength, it will never be Baili Xuan's opponent, let him lose convincingly, obediently get out of the sect, and the others will have nothing to say. ”
……
"Click"
The door of the deacon's hall, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened, and the middle-aged monk glanced at Zhang Tianjiu with a complicated expression: "Elder Lu, several deacons and elders please come in and discuss something." ”
Zhang Tianjiu touched his bright bald head, and said with a smile: "Still discussing fart, aren't the three old ghosts already discussing it inside, the old man won't go in, hesitant to waste time, just let Bailixuan roll over and die!"
This sentence was said in such a loud voice that the entire deacon hall could basically hear it as long as they were not deaf.
The middle-aged monk was stunned for a moment, and froze in place.
Soon, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from the main hall, and the three deacons and elders walked out one after another, their faces slightly angry, and there seemed to be a trace of doubt in their eyes.
When they were talking just now, they were cautious enough, how could they be known by this Lu Yuan?
Probably no one would have thought that Zhang Tianjiu's divine sense was far stronger than many ordinary Venerables, and how could the enchantment set up by a mere archmage stop him.
The conversation of several people in the hall just now fell into Zhang Jiuye's ears without missing a word.
However, he really didn't expect that after he returned to the Black Tiger Gate, it would be such a result, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad for Lu Yuan.
However, looking back, as one of the elders of the inner gate, Lu Yuan is already approaching his life, and he can't see any hope of a breakthrough, so it is reasonable to be abandoned by the Black Tiger Gate.
Even if you take the risk of changing a body and being reborn, although you don't have to worry about your life for the time being, the fall of the realm is almost an ironclad fact, and it is difficult to have a chance to recover, let alone any immortal path.
The plan of the deacon's hall is actually very simple, and it is just a naked conspiracy.
In the case that Lu Yuan Shouyuan has little left, send him to the science and technology world to fight, according to the rules of rotation every three years, even if Lu Yuan does not die under the fire of those science and technology ants, he will inevitably run out of life yuan, and he will not be able to wait for the day of rotation at all.
In other words, Lu Yuan, the sad Inner Gate Elder, had already become a dead man in the eyes of the deacon hall since the day he was sent out.
And this vacant position of the elder of the inner gate, I don't know how many people in the Black Tiger Gate are looking at it, and it is naturally the one with the highest price.
Less than a month after Lu Yuan left the Blue Pluto, the Deacon's Hall had already announced the news that he had died in battle, and he couldn't wait to promote a new Inner Gate Elder, Baili Xuan.
It's a pity that unexpectedly, Lu Yuan actually took the risk to succeed, and returned to the sect ahead of schedule!
At this moment, the original impeccable plan of the deacon's temple was completely broken.
Yan Hong, Li Yifeng, Han Bin.
Looking at the three deacon elders in front of him with frowns, Zhang Tianjiu smiled extremely happily, and greeted him like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years: "Three elders, don't come unharmed. ”
Yan Hong snorted coldly: "Elder Lu, at this moment, shouldn't you be fighting against those technological ants, why did you run back without permission." ”
Zhang Tianjiu smiled: "If the old man doesn't come in advance, won't he miss this good show?"
The triennial rotation is just an agreement, not a mandatory rule, and Zhang Tianjiu naturally will not be afraid of Yan Hong's questioning.
Li Yifeng sighed, and said with a difficult face: "Elder Lu, I think you already know, because the previous news was wrong, we thought that you had died in the world of science and technology, so we promoted Baili Xuan to take over your original position as an inner door elder, you see ...... now."
Although he already knew that he had torn his face, after all, there were still so many pairs of eyes of the elders of the inner and outer gates staring at the deacon hall, and the surface article still had to be done.
Zhang Tianjiu's eyes showed a fierce light, touched his bald head, and sneered: "The old man knows the rules, and the capable live there, so call Bailixuan and the other elders to be a witness and fight." ”
