The situation is critical.

The old patriarch couldn't sit still in the stands, and the position of Guchton was already on the side of the wooden platform, and Jiang Pei and Hou Yin had no intention of letting go, so it was estimated that it would not be long before Gucciton fell off the stage.

Sure enough, Gucciton moved towards the wooden platform again, and now, the distance between Gucciton and the wooden platform was only ten centimeters. As long as the two of them push it again, Gucciton will fall off the stage.

Hou Yin seemed to be more anxious, and he struck at Gucciton in a hurry, not giving him another chance to return to the middle of the wooden platform. The fist struck wildly in the sound of care, Guchedon parried with his heart, a thick move was intentional, Guchedon deliberately used his hand as a claw, grabbed Hou Yin's arm, and intended to let him fall off the stage at the same time, the two hands were connected, the other one did not stop, fighting against each other, after all, they were all kung fu masters, the hand holding and the other hand, constantly changing each other, and the legs and feet kicked each other, kicking up some dust on their stomachs.

The two seem to be like glue, but in fact, they both have a purpose, they both want to push each other off the stage in the fight with each other, and whoever gets off the stage first will fail.

Gucciton's figure has been suspended in the air, under the continuous attack of the two, Gucciton has broken away from the wooden platform, and the whole person is suspended outside the entire wooden platform, but Gucciton did not let go of Hou Yin's arm, he also held Hou Yin tightly in his hand, if you want to go out, everyone will go out together.

The hearts of the spectators suddenly hung in the air, especially the old patriarch and the leader of Aguji. Some sisters even shouted "ah".

Hou Yin wanted to break free, and kept slapping Gucciton's hand with his hand, or breaking it open, Gucciton's hand was like a dogskin plaster, and he couldn't break free, and when he was connected to Hou Yin, Gucciton flew in the air and landed steadily on the wooden platform. Now the position is slightly inside Gucciton, and Huin is outside.

At this moment, Smith Pei kicked Gucciton violently, and he wanted to use the force of this leg to kick Gucciton directly off the stage. Gucciton didn't notice the kick, and his figure flew outward, flying out with the grab, Hou Yin.

Two feet fell to the ground, which was the ground that fell under the wooden platform.

The old patriarch's mouth was wide open, but he didn't expect that for a while, someone had already fallen to the ground.

The craftsman smiled smugly on the wooden platform.

"The first game is over, and the leader of the craftsmen wins." One of the elders announced, "The other two people who fell out of the wooden platform are the leader of Gucciton and the leader of Houin, and after the deliberation of our elders, the leader of Houin landed ahead of the head of Gucciton, so the person who eliminated it was the leader of Houin." ”

In the first game, the leader of the carpenter was one point ahead of the leader of Gucciton.

The head of Hou Yin's eyes were full of anger, he didn't expect that the craftsman would suddenly kick the two of them off the stage at the same time. However, the outcome was decided, and he had to return to his place in anger.

Hou Ping in the stands showed a satisfied smile.

"In the second round, with the theme of 'the virtue of the Tujia', write an article to explain how you will lead the entire Tujia people in Sanshan and Wuzhai after you are elected as the patriarch." An elder said.

This is somewhat similar to the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, and it is of course a good exam question to explain your governing philosophy in an article, where do you want to lead the Tujia people, which is a question that the Tujia people are more concerned about.

The two of them pondered carefully on the table in the middle of the wooden table. After a while, a short answer sheet was presented to the hands of the ten elders, and after the deliberation and discussion of the ten elders, one of the elders said: "Leader of the craftsman, you said in the article that the Tujia family is too conservative now, and we want to communicate with the Han people, especially when you talk about having more contact with foreign officials, what do you mean by that?" ”

Jiang Pei replied: "The former old patriarch has always been conservative, I don't agree, our Tujia should abandon some conservative things." If we Tujia want to go out to be an official, we have to change it to a Han surname, in fact, otherwise, we can interact more with some officials, and we can be an official without changing our Han surname, isn't it a good thing? ”

"Is there such a good thing?" An elder asked, "For generations, it has not been so simple for the Tujia to be an official. ”

"Of course there is such a good thing, as long as everyone believes in me and I become the patriarch, I can make everyone a big official." Craftsman said.

The elder asked Guchton again, "Chief Gucciton, you have the same opinion as the leader of Gongpei, and think that the Tujia family is too conservative. However, on some specific issues, he has different ideas from the chief of the craftsmen, one of which is that you say that you can do business with foreign merchants, what do you think? ”

"The conservatism of the Tujia has always been formed, and it is impossible to change it all at once. Now some Tujia people go out to show the world that they have Han surnames and Han officials, which has lost the true character of our Tujia family. Tujia has its own distinctive national characteristics, can sing and dance, ingenious, there are many Tujia characteristics of the object, we can communicate with the outside world, make money, buy the objects we need from the outside, so that Tujia can develop better. The materials are invigorated, and then other aspects of communication, people outside will also be impressed by us. ”

"You two have a new direction for the future of the Tujia, and there is a world of difference between the ideas of our predecessors, and after our discussion, the leader of Gucciton is more in line with the current situation of our Tujia. So in this game, we decided that the Gucciton leader was the winner. ”

Inside the inn.

Wang Laohu was thinking about the election of the patriarch of Quelingtai today. No matter which side wins, as long as it is conducive to the long-term development of Tujiazhai, it is okay, I am afraid that some people will plot against each other and want to do things to satisfy their desires.

"Xianggong, what do you want? Are you thinking about Tujiazhai? Feng Liu'er asked.

"Whoever knows me, ma'am. I'm in the inn, but my heart is really there. I don't know what happened to the patriarch of Tujiazhai today? ”

"If you're worried, why don't you go over and have a look?" Feng Liuer said.

"I really want to go over, I'm afraid that the Tujia people won't welcome me."

"Xianggong also knows that the Tujia people don't welcome you, so why are you sad here alone?"

"Some things are not as simple as Madame said, and it would be nice if I could really turn around and go out of the world."

"You are neither an official nor a member of the court, you are worried about these things, I still can't figure it out."

"Madame is smart, I already knew it. Now this matter has nothing to do with whether I am from the court or not. I just don't want the lives of the Tujia or the people to be ruined. ”

"Is this as serious as the princess said?"

"I wish I had thought about it more." Wang Laohu said.

Queling Terrace.

One of the elders announced: "Now the patriarch will win two games for the leader of Gucciton and the leader of the Craftsman, with a score of 2 to 2, and this fifth game is a crucial game to determine who is qualified for the position of patriarch. ”

Everyone in the room was very nervous, and they watched the decisive game.

The elder summoned the leader of Gucciton and the leader of the craftsman, and said softly, "Legend has it that in the Queling Lake, our ancestors hid a holy sword at the bottom of the lake. For all these years, we have always considered it a legend, and now we want the two of you to go down to the lake and find this holy sword. If you can't find it, you can also find another sword, this ordinary Tujia sword, we ordered someone to put it down yesterday, whoever finds either sword first wins. Do you understand? ”

The leader of Gucciton and the leader of the Craftsman said, "I understand. ”

"Also, this matter is a secret of our Tujia family, and we must not tell anyone else." The elder commanded again.

The two nodded.

The elder instructed the two of them, and said in a loud voice: "The fifth level is to go down to the lake to find a sword, this is to examine people's water nature and endurance, although our Tujia family has lived in the mountains for a long time, but there is also a lake, so the Tujia family must also understand water nature." Time is within the three pillars of incense, whoever finds it first will win, and whoever is our patriarch will be our patriarch. ”

The two took off their coats and waited quietly by the lake in Queling.

Someone lit the first pillar of incense. An elder said, "The timer begins." ”

The two burrowed into the lake.

Everyone was quietly watching the lake.

The two of them are like two fish in the lake, constantly searching the lake, and the hiding place of this sword should not be very far, because it is also artificially released from time to time to drill out of the lake to breathe.

As the head of the Tujia family, you should have this ability and courage. Therefore, this diving is not only a time to show your diving skills, but also to show your strength.

The two of them drilled out of the water one after the other to breathe.

The old patriarch knew the purpose of this level, and when he chose the patriarch before, he knew that there was a holy sword left by his ancestors in this lake, but after such a generation of patriarchs salvage, it could not be salvaged.
