Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bamboo Pick Election
Feng Suyin's words made Chen Hanyu speechless for a while, thinking about how idle she should be. A demon demon girl ran to the territory of the righteous path to join in the fun, is she really the right way?
"Okay! Then now, let's go to the first link first...... Fang Chengjun's words interrupted the transmission of the two, "Come on, submit the selection lot." ”
As his voice fell, two four-bag disciples of the Beggar Gang walked in from outside. One of them was holding a mahogany box, and the other was holding two bamboo sticks. Chen Hanyu glanced at the two buckets of bamboo sticks with his spare eyes, and saw that the bamboo sticks in one of the tubes were engraved with the word "Geng Zheng", and the other tube was blocked and did not see it, but guessed that it should be engraved with Wen Youbei's name.
"I think everyone knows that there are two candidates for our beggar gang leader this time. One is the personal disciple of the previous gang leader - Geng Zheng. The other is the last deputy gang leader in the gang - Wen Youbei. ”
Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei walked up to the high platform from both sides. Geng Zheng was dressed in gray-white coarse linen clothes, even if there were no patches or holes, he could still see that he was dressed as a dirty clothes faction, while Wen Youbei was dressed in a rich red brocade robe, which was obviously a characteristic of the clean clothes faction.
After the two of them walked behind Fang Chengjun, Fang Chengjun continued: "I think everyone has seen that among these two bamboo sticks, one is engraved with Geng Zheng's name, and the other is engraved with Wen Youbei's name. ”
As he spoke, he nodded slightly towards the two fourth-generation disciples. After the two bowed, they walked down the high platform with a wooden box and a bamboo stick bucket. Fang Chengjun continued: "If you support any candidate, you will take out the bamboo skewer engraved with his name from the bamboo tube and put it in a peach box......
When Fang Chengjun explained the rules of the lottery, the two disciples had already walked all the way along the front row, letting the representatives sitting in the front row vote first. Since there were not many masters sitting in the front seats, after a while, the selection was sent to Chen Hanyu.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Hanyu took a bamboo skewer from the bamboo tube engraved with Geng Zheng's name and put it in a peach box. The two disciples bowed to him, and then continued to hold the wooden box and bamboo tube, and walked up to Feng Suyin.
"Hey, that's a demon cult, don't draw lots for her?" a voice sounded from the back row.
This coaxed, the scene suddenly boiled again, and some people shouted: "She shouldn't have been let in, and now she is still allowed to draw lots?" and some people shouted even more: "If it weren't for the fact that this is the general altar of the beggar gang, our big guys would have rushed up and hacked that demon sect demon to death!"
"Amitabha~" A Buddha horn sounded, the sound was not loud, but it seemed to ring a bell in people's ears. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then gradually quieted down. Everyone looked in the same direction, it turned out to be Master Duwen, holding a rosary, his eyes slightly closed, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
"If you come, you will be safe. Master Duwen didn't open his eyes, and a faint voice came from his mouth, "Since Lord Feng is here on behalf of your sect, he should have the qualifications to vote. ”
"Well, I agree with Master Duwen. Su Chenkun also said at this time, "Today, the beggar gang is inviting people from all major rivers and lakes to come to participate in the election, whether it is the right way or the evil way, they should be treated equally. ”
"But after all, she is a member of the Demon Sect, and her heart can be punished!" There are still people at the bottom who are not convinced.
Fang Chengjun glanced at Feng Suyin lightly, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet first, and then spoke again: "Yes, the young master Feng is not only here on behalf of the Yue Hai God Sect, but also on behalf of one of the forces, let her vote." ”
Fang Chengjun said so, and many people in the rivers and lakes below didn't want to say anything more at this moment, even if they were angry in their hearts. Feng Suyin saw the bamboo tube stretched out in front of her, the corners of her mouth curled, and she raised her hand to take out a bamboo stick from Geng Zheng's bamboo tube, and then gently put it into the peach box. After that, she sat back in her previous arrogant position, her eyes casually glancing at the unknown corner in front of her, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Chen Hanyu saw all this in his eyes and was full of emotion in his heart. He knew that Master Duwen and Su Chenkun stood up to help Feng Changqing speak this time, completely for the sake of his own face. And Feng Suyin didn't like Geng Zheng originally, but she voted for Geng Zheng, obviously for the sake of her own face, after all, she herself said that she was just coming to have fun, and who became the leader of the beggar gang in the end had nothing to do with her.
It's just that for a short time, Chen Hanyu owes so much favor, and he feels strange in his heart. However, he still wrote down all these things in his heart, and when he became stronger in the future, he naturally would not forget these people who helped him.
The voting ended quickly, and the two disciples returned to the stage with a peach box and a bamboo stick. Chen Hanyu probably glanced at the two bamboo stick holders, and saw that the number of bamboo sticks in the two tubes seemed to be almost the same, and it could be seen that Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei were equal in terms of reputation in the rivers and lakes and their status in the eyes of the big forces, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
Fang Chengjun took the peach box from his disciple's hand, and with a flick of his right sleeve, dozens of bamboo sticks in the box flew out with the strong wind hidden in his sleeve. An almost continuous and uninterrupted arc was drawn through the air, and they were inserted into several rows of holes that had been planted in advance in front of the stage.
Everyone looked at the bamboo sticks in front of the stage with wide eyes, and saw more than 40 bamboo sticks, which were inserted in a rectangular array of five rows and ten columns. The position of the holes is arranged in the order of low in the front and high in the back, and the bamboo sticks in the front row do not block the name on the bamboo sticks in the back row. Therefore, the people in the rivers and lakes here, no matter where they sit, can clearly see the names on all the bamboo sticks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the voting results have come out, and among the forty-three sects that participated in the voting, twenty-one votes were cast for Geng Zheng and twenty-two votes were cast for Wen Youbei. Fang Chengjun faced everyone, and did not deliberately turn to the front to see the name on the bamboo stick. It seems that the moment he took out the bamboo skewers just now, he had clearly seen the names on each skewer and remembered it in his heart.
After seeing the number of two names on the bamboo stick, Chen Hanyu was a little surprised. He originally thought that Geng Zheng, as Pang Rentong's personal disciple, would have more people who supported him to become the helper, but the reality turned out that Wen Youbei was better than him. Although only one vote is missing, it does not mean that Wen Youbei's supporters are above Geng Zheng, but Geng Zheng failed to achieve the expected effect in terms of votes, at least it can show that he has not been able to take advantage of his advantages.
"Therefore, I declare that in the first link, Wen Youbei won!" Fang Chengjun announced loudly, "Since the difference in votes between the two sides is less than five votes, the final score of the first link is Wen Youbei two points and Geng Zheng one point." ”
"Huh?" Chen Hanyu was stunned, it was the first time he had seen this kind of scoring standard, splitting three points into one and two points?
Not only Chen Hanyu, but also many people in the rivers and lakes felt puzzled and began to discuss it in private?
"What kind of strange rule is this, why haven't I heard of it?"
"It seems that the beggars have such a rule, three zeros outside the five votes, two one within five votes, and one by one flat votes. ”
"Hmph! The extra vote of the one surnamed Wen must have been voted by the demon sect demon girl, and she shouldn't have been allowed to participate at that time!"
"Alas~ I can't say that, Geng Zheng this time, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about him either......"
As if hearing Feng Suyin's soft snort, Chen Hanyu tilted his head slightly and planned to look at her. It's just that the head is halfway off and turns back again. Maybe Chen Hanyu felt in his heart that he was still too close to Feng Suyin and it was not very suitable.
Chen Hanyu guessed that Feng Suyin must be laughing at himself at the moment, after all, he voted for Geng Zheng, and even pulled a vote through her Feng Suyin. But in the end, this failed to save Geng Zheng's defeat, and it was basically in vain.
"I don't know whose vote a few of them voted?" Chen Hanyu thought of Feng Suyin at the same time, he also thought of Zhen Yingying, and then thought of Yan Jiansong and a few of them.
Yan Jiansong and Jiang Miaoran's reappearance in the rivers and lakes is a big news in the rivers and lakes. At least their divisions, the Diancang Xieyang Sect and the Tianshan Quenching Han Sect had just gotten the news. And the representative disciples they sent out to participate in the election meeting of the beggar gang leaders have already reached the GZ generation, so Yan Jiang and the others directly joined their division's delegation and participated in the voting together.
Except for the two of them, the rest of Feng Qingwan and the others are all one person representing a force. Of course, there are also some lone rangers like You Qingshang who do not belong to any sect, and only masters who have reached the top of the realm are eligible to vote.
These thoughts flashed in Chen Hanyu's head, and he didn't plan to dwell on this issue any longer. After all, the current situation is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to think about it yourself.
Fang Chengjun raised his hand again to silence everyone, and then said, "Now for the second link, the elders will vote for the two candidates. Since Elder Pai Yi is unwell, it is not appropriate to go back and forth. Therefore, in the next two links, I would like you to get up and go with me to the beggar's altar. ”
There was a sound of the corners of the clothes vibrating in the main hall, and everyone immediately got up and walked outside with Fang Chengjun. After walking less than a mile, everyone came to the end of the beggars' main altar. I saw a circular stone platform with a radius of ten zhang, and a big "beggar" character was engraved in the center, which was very eye-catching. And at the edge of the round platform, there are already seven cloth figures standing on it. Chen Hanyu knew that these were the nine bags of elders of the beggar gang, which could be seen from the number of cloth bags on their waists.
Among these seven people, there was a white-haired old man who was different. He sat alone on a wooden chair, and it looked like he was unable to stand because of his inconvenient legs, so he could only sit on the chair. The old man's face didn't seem to be very good, he looked like he had run out of oil and dried up, not at all like the elders next to him, although he had white hair, he still showed a red face.
There were no chairs around the stone platform, and all the people in the rivers and lakes stood and watched. Because of this, they stood in a relatively casual position, and did not have too many requirements as in the main hall.
"Hanyu!" suddenly heard Zhen Yingying's shout in his ears.
Chen Hanyu followed the prestige and saw Zhen Yingying pushing aside everyone and squeezing through the crowd. She was agile and moved through the crowd, but she didn't bump into anyone, and naturally she didn't cause any quarrels.
Chen Hanyu was about to talk to her, but he felt a move in his heart, turned his head and looked in another direction. I saw that Feng Suyin also squeezed over from the crowd, and saw that Zhen Yingying was already standing next to Chen Hanyu, so she didn't lean over again, just stood in front of them, quietly looking at these two people.
"Why are you again!" Zhen Yingying frowned.
"What's me?" Feng Suyin snorted lightly from the wing of her nose, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Why do you keep sticking with Brother Hanyu?"
"He's my friend, of course I can stand with him!" Zhen Yingying raised her head, "It's you, the demon witch, who always sticks over, and I don't know what the hell you want to do." ”
