There were many chairs and stools in the room, only Hu Guiyang and Yuan Mao were sitting, and the others preferred to stand, gather in a circle, and talk in a whisper.

Hu Guiyang leaned over, "Are you okay?" ”

Yuan Mao smiled: "Much better than you, how can you ...... How did Zuo Baihu come together with you? ”

"It's a long story."

Deng Haisheng and the others also looked at him, and Hu Guiyang smiled: "Listen to it." It's a long story, but it's also simple, a few years ago, the stupid mistake that you Five Elements Sect made in order to gain divine power has now been repeated by Zuo Pre, and he has fallen deeper, preferring to give up his official position, friends, and parents. ”

Yuan Mao coughed quietly and reminded Hu Guiyang to pay attention to his words and not to use the term "stupid and wrong".

Hu Guiyang didn't hear it, and glanced at the elders of the Five Elements Sect, "What about this time?" How much are you prepared to pay for Shenyu? At least a little more than the left one, right? Maybe a few thousand people can die, anyway, there is only one Divine Jade, and it is difficult to divide the number of people......"

"Shut up!" Hao Baiying, the former elder of the Taibai Sect, had a violent temper and couldn't listen to ridicule, "The Five Elements Sect wants divine jade, but it has a good way to take it, and it won't do the kind of thing you said!" ”

"Won't it? How did Jiang Yun die? ”

The elders were silent.

Hu Guiyang sneered: "The Five Elements Sect and the Extraordinary Dao have been established for more than 100 years, living separately in the north and south, and they do not belong to each other. Unity is of course a good thing, but when Jiang Yun went to find Chen Xun, did he inform you? Why is he going to be a lone traveler again at this time? ”

Yuan Mao coughed lightly twice, but Hu Guiyang still didn't hear it, and continued to provoke the other party, "If you are willing to open your eyes a little, you will see that Zuo Yu and Jiang Yun do exactly the same: when you find the whereabouts of Shenyu, you use the power of others, but when you seize Shenyu, you must do it yourself." At this moment, you are all thinking about how to get rid of your accomplices and swallow the Divine Jade alone, right? ”

The five elders shook their heads at the same time, and Deng Haisheng stepped forward and said, "Jiang Yun's death is a lesson, and the Five Elements Sect will not split again." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled and nodded, "It's good that it won't split." Oh, by the way, that Chen Xun, he had no accomplices, and killed Jiang Yun alone. Interestingly, Chen Xun is an ordinary scribe, who has lived for forty or fifty years, although he served in Jinyiwei, it is likely that he has never learned martial arts, never touched a sword, and he can only touch Shenyu for a dozen days at most, and he can single-handedly beat 'Nanjing Bai Meng Taste' into 'Beijing Dead Meng Taste'. Tsk, the name of Shenyu is really true, and it can be called a god. If it goes on like this, in a few days, Chen Xun will be able to become the number one master in the world and sweep the ......"

"Don't say it!" Hao Baiying was the first one who didn't hold back, and walked in front of Hu Guiyang in two steps, "What do you want to say?" The Five Elements Sect does not deserve to have divine jade? Or do you want to sow discord and let's do it now? ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "On the contrary, I think you are still saved, these days, you are the first person to claim that you 'want' the Divine Jade, instead of 'recapturing' the Divine Jade." ”

Hao Baiying was stunned for a moment, "The Divine Jade is not a cult thing, of course I won't say take it back." ”

Elder Dai De interjected: "It can't be said that the Divine Jade originally had no owner, if you talk about the origin, the True Fire Token of this sect is very likely to come from the Heavenly Machine Ship, and it is the same ......sect as the Divine Jade."

Hu Guiyang slapped his thigh, "That's right, if you want Shenyu, you have to be like this Elder Dai, first establish the belief that Shenyu originally belonged to me, and then you can do everything to compete with all forces." ”

Hao Baiying looked at Dai De, "The Divine Jade is indeed ownerless, the so-called depth of origin is meaningless, the Five Elements Sect wants the Divine Jade, there is no need for a special reason." ”

Dai De shook his head, "No, we are not robbers, we must be justified in owning the Divine Jade, otherwise how can we convince the public?" How did it get the approval of the imperial court? ”

Hao Baiying sneered, "No need, there only need to be two or three top masters in the sect as soon as possible, so that they can convince the public and gain recognition." ”

Elder Qiu Lianhua once had a younger brother who was inhuman, and at this time he spoke: "You can't rely on martial arts alone, if you talk about the origin, this sect can't compare to others." In my opinion, the key is still in Wenjiazhuang, and the Wen family is all in this religion, which is the most important reason to seize the divine jade......"

"It's nonsense, is it wrong for the Five Elements Sect to accept the Wen family, and it wants to be subservient?" Another elder, Bai Sheng, was tall, not angry, and not small-tempered, "If you want me to say, the Wen family should be precautionary, and they must not be allowed to come into contact with the Divine Jade." ”

Before the divine jade was gone, several elders quarreled first.

Hu Guiyang looked at Deng Haisheng with a smile.

Deng Haisheng didn't participate in the quarrel, sighed lightly, and motioned for Hu Guiyang to step aside to speak.

The two walked to the corner, and Deng Haisheng whispered: "I already understand what Captain Hu means, you don't want the Five Elements Sect to participate in the capture of jade." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "You think too much, I just want to see if anyone else will be as crazy as Zuo Yu." ”

Deng Haisheng was stunned.

"Anyway, you're all normal, angry and angry, not crazy. Go and grab the jade, Chen Xun will be frightened when he kills someone for the first time, and he will not take the waterway again, maybe you can really stop people in front of the Jinyi guard. As for me, if you recognize me as the leader, I will reluctantly be a leader for a while, and if I don't admit it, I don't have a problem, there are many people in the world who rebel, and I can't ask too much of you. ”

Deng Haisheng smiled, "Captain Hu doesn't need to say it, please wait a moment." ”

Deng Haisheng walked back to the side of several elders, and when they were glaring at each other and stalemate, he spoke: "After all, the matter of Shenyu is far away, and we are gathering today to discuss an important matter. ”

The elders had already understood the general situation before, and then they all looked at Hu Guiyang in the corner.

Hao Baiying was the first to speak, "He is the sect leader?" I don't admit it. ”

Dai De said: "It's not a question of whether you admit it or not, first of all, you have to find out whether he has joined the Vulcan Sect, if he is a member of this sect, then we swear, no one can go back, right?" ”

"The oath of the five gods must never be repented." Qiu Lianhua shook his head, "I don't think Hu Guiyang can be regarded as a member of this sect, he didn't worship the ancestor and the fire god back then, and he didn't participate in any rituals, and suddenly he became a sect leader, and he still has to be the sect leader, this ...... With such a child's play, how can the Five Elements Sect gain a foothold? ”

The other three elders nodded one after another, but only Deng Haisheng was silent.

Hao Baiying's anger never subsided, and he said angrily: "You Fire God Sect can do anything in order to launch a sect leader." ”

Deng Haisheng said: "Now there is only the Five Elements Sect, there is no Vulcan Sect, when we recognized Hu Guiyang as the 'son of the Vulcan', no one objected, the True Fire Token has been in his hands, and no one has taken it back." Whether or not to recognize him as a member of our religion can be discussed, but if we say that we have selfish intentions, I cannot admit it. ”

Hao Baiying's face turned red, and he arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't have the door on my mouth, talking nonsense." But...... But ......"

The five elders, you look at me, I look at you, they are speechless, Hu Guiyang has indeed come into contact with Shenyu, and he is indeed regarded as the "son of the fire god", so in this way, he really has the qualifications to be the sect leader.

Dai De said tentatively: "Even if Hu Guiyang joined the sect at the beginning, but in the past few years, he has been out of the country, even if he has dropped out of the sect, right?" ”

Some nodded, others remained silent, feeling that this objection was a bit far-fetched.

Hu Guiyang stepped forward, "It's better to be like this, it was the old mother who planted the fire who recognized me as the 'son of the fire god', and then found her, if she still recognized me, I would be the sect leader, if she didn't recognize me, I wouldn't be reluctant, obediently quit, go back to the city to continue to be a captain, and never mention the rights and wrongs of the Five Elements Sect." ”

The five elders looked at each other, and Deng Haisheng said, "I think this is indeed a way, everyone should believe in the judgment of the old mother who planted the fire." ”

The old mother of the fire was originally just the goddess of the Fire God Sect, and she was highly respected, and her status was not reduced after being incorporated into the Five Elements Sect, although she did not participate in the affairs of the sect, she would inevitably be invited to come forward when there was a ritual.

"Okay, this thing is a bit weird, so just let it be God's will." After Hao Baiying also agreed, others did not object.

"Please wait here for Captain Hu and Captain Yuan." Deng Haisheng is going to invite the old mother who planted the fire.

"This is Yuan Baihu." Hu Guiyang corrected.

"Yuan Baihu, there are many offenses." Deng Haisheng and the others exited the room.

"Do you really want to be the Sect Master?" Yuan Mao immediately asked.

"There's no way, I've come this far, I can only keep going. And- there should be some benefit to being a leader, right? The captain's monthly salary is not high. ”

"Hehe, I only have general acquaintances with the Five Elements Sect, and I don't know much about their rules."

"Well, when I become a sect leader, I naturally know, and I don't care if I don't have a sect leader. I don't know if Jinyiwei caught Chen Xun? ”

"I seem to have seen Chen Xun, is he the scribe with a medium build, a slightly hunched back, and always a serious face?"

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "The scribes seem to be like this, but Chen Xun has a feature, a mole with long hair on his chin......"

"That's right, I've seen him, that's an extremely ordinary person, can he really kill Jiang Yun? As far as I know, Jiang Yun didn't just become famous by giving up money, his martial arts skills were good, at least when he was young, he defeated many masters in Jiangnan. ”

"I'm just guessing, of course, I've been guessing wrong a lot lately."

The two chatted until nearly an hour later, after midnight, the door opened again, and several elders came in with an old woman in their arms.

Wen Buyu was also among the elders, obviously wanting to get an answer as soon as possible, standing at the door, looking at Hu Guiyang coldly.

The five elders lined up and stood behind the old woman.

Yuan Mao hurriedly got up, bowed his hand, and didn't dare to speak.

Hu Guiyang also stood up and smiled: "You are much shorter than I remember." ”

The old woman put her hands behind her back, bent over and raised her head, barely reaching Hu Guiyang's chest, "Well, the Vulcan Mirror magnified me a lot, but unfortunately, the mirror is gone." ”

"Are those colored fires still there?"

"Yes, you want to try it?"

"I don't want to. Uh, what do I need to do? ”

The old woman shook her head, "Bend down and let me take a closer look." ”

Hu Guiyang bent down, the old woman flicked her eyelids, looked at her teeth, pinched her cheeks, and quickly completed the examination, "Okay." ”

Hu Guiyang straightened up and said with a smile: "Am I the 'son of the fire god'?" ”

"As long as you are still your father's biological son, you are the 'son of the god of fire', and you can't change it."

"I was adopted, and I don't know who my biological parents are."

"But there's always a daddy, right?"

"Of course."

"Then you are the 'Son of Vulcan' and the leader of this sect. Alas, a good Vulcan Sect has to be merged into the Five Elements Fun, which is not interesting. The old woman shook her head and turned to leave.

Dade hurriedly stopped, "Old mother who planted fire, this matter is big, don't be so hasty......"

The old woman glared, "If you don't trust my judgment, why are you looking for me?" You are mortal with the naked eye, and you can't see through the true appearance, am I as confused as you? ”

Dade was speechless for a moment, and looked at the others, hoping that someone would stop the old mother.

The person who spoke was Hu Guiyang, "Old Mother of Fire, since I am the sect leader, why don't you bow down to me?" ”

"The sect leader is a mortal, and the goddess is a half-immortal, of course I don't have to bow down, you have to worship me in the future." The old mother who planted the fire pushed the door and went out.

The five elders did not kneel down without saying a word.

Hu Guiyang smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm the sect leader, and the first order ......"

"No matter who is the sect leader, we must take back the Divine Jade." Wen said bluntly.

"You're really a roundworm in my stomach, yes, that's my first order." Hu Guiyang surprised everyone again.
