Wang Shutan sat on his throne and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Do you know that you're the only one who has even entered here and is already a Dharma protector."

Wang Shutan said softly, as if he was recounting an insignificant matter.

Xiang Shu knows that now he has just entered the topic, this is the critical juncture of whether today is dead or alive, and he can know more if he survives the past, and he can only die if he can't survive.

Hurriedly knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists in front of his chest.

"My subordinates don't know, and I hope that the altar master will teach me."

"When you enter here, don't you think it's strange what you see?"

Wang Shutan asked again.

"There are a lot of doubts."

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just the difference between the descendant and the collateral."

The number suddenly became clear.

The family is established from a certain person, with its own ability, many wives and concubines, multiplication from generation to generation, and a large population.

Where the main house is located, it is the descendant, and the others are all collateral.

The concubines in the side room are all sideline, but they are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Patriarchs, unless there is a major change in the group, are elected from the lineage.

To put it simply, just like the emperor, only the bloodline of the descendant can be inherited, and if not, choose from the most recent bloodline, and the same is true for the family.

Combined with the various differences in the valley, Xiang Shu suddenly understood that those outside are all collateral, and here are the descendants.

But why these people live in the mountains is unknown.

Or rather, another habitat.

Xiang Shu hurriedly suppressed the thought of continuing to think, raised his head and asked in confusion.

"Why me?"

Yes, how many years have passed, no one knows what it is like here, the Great Elder has full authority to handle everything in the valley, and the blockade is very tight.

"The palace master has his own reasons for doing this, and you can't speculate as a subordinate.

I can only say what I can to help you get up to speed on the situation.

The valley is not full of collateral clansmen, but there are also a large number of descendants, but they do not have a certain status and will not know their identity.

These people, who grew up with other people, will enter the inner layer after layers of selection when they become adults.

The Great Elder is like this, so he is not only the Great Elder here, but also the Great Elder of the Three Ming Valley, and his biggest role is to protect and downplay this place.

So, you get the idea. ”

Xiang Shu nodded.

No wonder only people here think it is strange, no one will doubt it, and those who doubt it should be dead.

The external saying here is that the place where the drugs are developed are all 'invited' from the outside by the medical masters, who have strange personalities and have to keep secrets, so they will naturally be tightly sealed.

As for why the drug was developed, the palace master of each generation was not in good health and needed medicine to maintain it, everyone had already guessed it but did not dare to say it.

When people in the valley are sick, they also go to the pharmacy where they live to get medicine, and it is said that the medicine came from here.

Over time, more and more people chose to believe that this was a place to refine medicine, and besides, there was no harm to themselves, so why bother with it.

"You also belong to the lineage, you have great leadership skills, and your kung fu is not bad, I would have to wait a few years to tell you that the body of the Great Elder has ...... in the past few years

So ......"

Xiang Shu nodded, suppressing another doubt in his heart, with excitement on his face.

What do you mean, do you need to say it, you don't have to die, after the Great Elder dies, his position is his own.

Using someone from the valley for this position is the most suitable for both sides without arousing too much suspicion.

"Altar Master, what you say, what you say ......"

That means: I'm not a kid anymore, but don't fool me.

Wang Shutan smiled, well, it's a bit scheming.

The Great Elder has some ability, otherwise he would not have become the Great Elder of the outer layer.

But he doesn't know any martial arts, mainly because of his high talent for medicine, so he was introduced into the inner layer, and he became not only the great elder of medicine refining, but also the great elder of the valley.

In the past dynasties, like the Great Elder, there were not many Great Elders with both internal and external layers, and each of them was difficult to control.

The number is different, and those who can practice martial arts to a certain level will naturally not be fools, but if you want to be strong in martial arts, the main energy must be put down on martial arts, and you will not spend too much effort on other places.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiang Shu was designated as a Dharma protector early.

The other is that he is afraid that someone will feel threatened and will take action against Xiang Shu to protect him.

Originally, Xiang Shu's brother was the best candidate, but unfortunately......

"You've been with me for the past few days, and when the time comes, you'll officially belong here.

You should know how to do it, though, right? ”

Bow to several times.

"The subordinates swore to the sky that they would never reveal half a sentence to the public."

"This is the inner layer, and most of the people who live here are descendants, like us, who are worship families, and have lived here for generations.

Why it is divided into two layers, inside and outside, has nothing to do with you, don't think about it.

Just remember to do more here and don't talk nonsense, and you'll be fine, otherwise you'll ......"

"The subordinates don't dare."

"Well, get up, come with me to dinner, and I'll tell you some more places to pay attention to on the way!"

"Thank you for the cultivation of the altar master!"

）））

A large stone room, with glowstone inlaid on the walls and a few blazing braziers, was not as cold as the passageway.

Several stone slabs are put together to form a long tabletop on which steaming food is placed.

The Great Elder sat at the top, with Xiang Shui Xiang on the left and Xiang He on the right, and the others were also seated according to their status.

Liu Bei was also brought here, with a snort flowing from the corners of his mouth, staring at the food on the table with wide eyes, if he hadn't been held down on the shoulder, he would have pounced on it and eaten a big meal.

"I thought about it for a while, and what the second sister said has some truth.

I have already sent someone to report this matter to the palace master, and after eating, the palace master's order should have arrived.

Dine. ”

"Big brother is wise!"

A few people praised it and began to eat and drink.

Liu Bei is not happy, there is such a bully, if you don't let me eat, you will get me elsewhere, what does this mean, oh, you want to die of hunger, you are so poisonous.

The fragrance wafts into the nostrils.

Grunt.

Brother belly hurriedly came to wave the flag and shout, cheering.

Liu Bei struggled desperately, shouting in his mouth.

"I want to eat, I'm hungry, I want to eat......"

"Ignore him."

"Hmm!"

A few people nodded and hurried to eat.

Even so, they are people with status, so they will naturally pay attention to some etiquette, and they can't gobble it up, saying that they eat quickly, and it's not much faster than usual.

One by one, women in black robes came in with veils, put down plates of hot dishes, and silently withdrew, their eyes naturally unnaturally looked at the extra person, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised.

A few people were eating and drinking, chatting at the same time.

The third elder was holding chopsticks in his hand, and he was about to grab a piece of meat when suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and something fell from the sky and fell on the plate.

"Vomit ......"

The six elders opened their mouths and hurriedly held back.

"Sixth brother, what's wrong?"

The Great Elder was speaking in a low voice, not noticing this, but he heard a trace of voice.

Lao Tzu is showing off, phew, talking about things, what are you doing?

The tone was a little unhappy.

The others also turned their heads, some snickering, some slightly unhappy, and some just watching the excitement.

This is the Great Elder's favorite dinner table culture, you are looking for trouble.

"Big brother, I'm ......"

The sixth elder wanted to explain, glanced at the plate, and retched again.

"Poof, sixth brother, you won't have it, will you!"

"That's right!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Puff puff ......"
