Chapter 78: Subtle
When Ge Cai and Ge Dewa arrived at the door of the temple, they saw Geo standing there, looking dejected. Gecai blurted out, "What about His Holiness?" ”
Geou didn't look back, just looked straight ahead, slowly stretched out his hand, and pointed forward. Ge Cai Lao and Ge Dewa looked in the direction he pointed, and saw several bamboo rafts on the shore of the Divine Lake, and Ye Xiaotian and the nine tribal leaders were boarding the bamboo rafts respectively.
Ye Xiaotian seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned his head and glanced over here. The distance between them was not too close, and they couldn't even see their facial features clearly, but Ge Cai Lao and Ge Dewa clearly felt Ye Xiaotian's sneering gaze.
Gedwa said angrily: "Goul, why didn't you stop him, why? ”
Geo sneered: "There are nine leaders and followers, how can you stop them?" In what name? Do the temple elders want to rebel against the Venerable? ”
Gedwa glared at him: "You ......"
Ge Ou said coldly: "Ge Yi Lao followed, if you want to stop him, he should stop it, I just heard the news and rushed here, you two are not happy, let's ask him why he didn't stop it." ”
They looked angrily at the shore of the lake and waited for the Gerian to come back and ask him for his guilt, but ......, when the bamboo felling was boiling and paddling towards the opposite side, they were stunned to find that the Gerian had followed him on the raft......
Ge Nilao stood behind Ye Xiaotian, peeking at Ye Xiaotian's back from time to time, struggling in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with him, he couldn't stop him, so he followed him on the bamboo raft, at this time he had only one choice whether he wanted to or not, that is, to bite the bullet and take this "boat" with Ye Xiaotian.
"Now it seems that Thor's trick in the forbidden land is clearly his ghost. What method did he use, if he had great powers. Even the sky thunder can be left and right, so ...... Is this Venerable one that we can contend with? ”
Suddenly he remembered his nephew's words. As an elder of the temple, he never married, and this nephew was the child of his younger brother's family, and he had always regarded him as his own son. At the beginning, Ye Xiaotian needed each of the eight elders to choose a family of relatives to go to Tongren to protect the Dharma, but Ge Nilao chose him without even thinking about it.
When he was only a few months away from the mountains, his nephew, who had grown up in the mountains since childhood, opened his eyes, and he was very filial to Ge Nilao. From time to time, he would buy some cloth, food, and wine from outside the mountains and bring them to his uncle.
As one of the eight elders of the temple, what delicacies and silk are you looking for but can't get? But at his age, he has a very light view of material desires, but an excessive thirst for affection, and he likes to enjoy that kind of family fun.
Then, after returning to the mountain this time, he was not less complained about by his nephew, who was over forty years old, and his little nephew. As soon as he saw him, he pursed his mouth, and refused to let him hug him, how good did he feel in his heart.
However, he was educated from an early age. Some things have gone deep into the bone marrow, perhaps because he is closest to the core of the Divine Sect, he knows better than the average sect that there is no Gu God in the world, but there is no Gu God in the world. But there is the Gu Sect, his honor, power, wealth, all the qiē come from the Gu Sect. His heart for defending the Gu Sect was no weaker than that of any devout disciple.
Ge Cai Lao said that if His Holiness wanted to take everyone out of the mountain, it would destroy the foundation of the Gu Sect, and he believed it without thinking about it. Originally, when Ge Yan and Ge Wo were there, he was a soy sauce response bug, but now that Ge Cai Lao and Ge Dewa are in charge, he is still the same.
It wasn't until now, when he was at a loss and subconsciously got on Ye Xiaotian's "boat", that he had to choose to think from another angle: "Venerable is the supreme power of the Gu Sect and enjoys the greatest wealth, why does he have to destroy his foundation?" Is he destroying his own foundation, or is he trying to rebuild another foundation in the world? If I follow him, will I lose a qiē, or will I have more? ”
"If a bamboo growing in a deep valley is dug up and planted in the garden, there will naturally be another way to live outside the mountain, and it must die? Uncle, think about it! Ge Nilao's ears remembered the persuasion of his nephew, who was like a parent, and his heart was even more shaken.
Su Xuntian stood aside and begged at him, seeing that he sometimes raised his head, sometimes lowered his head, and sometimes looked at Ye Xiaotian, his face was cloudy, and finally couldn't help but stare at him and asked, "What are you doing, do you want to push us adults into the water?" ”
The two tribal leaders of the same raft looked at each other in surprise, and the Ge Ni Lao was startled, and hurriedly explained: "It's a joke, it's a joke, old man...... The old man is the elder of the temple, how can there be a reason to push the Venerable into the water. This little brother is also ridiculous in his speech. ”
As he spoke, Ge Ni quickly took two steps back, for fear of causing a misunderstanding between Su Xuntian and the others.
There was only one day left before the relocation deadline given by the temple, but the people in the stockade continued to live as usual, and there was no sense of excitement about moving. As soon as Ye Xiaotian entered the village, the people immediately rushed to tell each other, cheering.
They prostrated on the side of the road, bowing to their venerable, their toasts, the sole rulers of their clerical power and regime, and some of the elders who were more prominent in the tribe were lucky enough to run to the front, greet Ye Xiaotian directly, and kiss the tips of his boots.
Seeing this, Ge Yi Lao made a calculation in his heart: "Didn't Ge Dewa say that His Holiness took them out of the mountain, so that they were tempted by worldly material desires, and they had lost their reverence and piety? Why do they still respect His Holiness from the bottom of their hearts, even ...... More loved? ”
Hearing that Ye Xiaotian had arrived, Geduo immediately notified the tribal leaders who were waiting to meet His Holiness in his village. Doni and Yaoyao were overjoyed when they heard that Ye Xiaotian was out of trouble, but they were stopped by Ge Duo.
Ge Duo smiled bitterly and said to Doni: "Daughter, His Holiness has come here to get out of trouble and come here, there is something important to discuss. It's done, it's not difficult for you to stay with His Holiness for a long time, if it doesn't work out, I'm afraid our cottage will be difficult to preserve, what kind of mess do you go to mix at this time, this is not the time for children to grow up. ”
Doni thought about it, so she had to suppress her eagerness, and in turn comforted the pouting Yaoyao.
In the temple, like an angry female tyrannosaurus, she walked back and forth in the hall for a long time, and suddenly stopped, slammed the boulder ground with her crutches, and shouted, "Go." Let's see what the hell he's up to! ”
Ge Cai Lao angrily walked to the door of the temple, looked left and right, and shouted to one of the guards: "Go and call me Geou and Gebo!" These two old things, blindfold themselves and plug their ears, and what should have happened won't happen! How unreasonable! ”
Gedva, who was following her, smiled wryly, this old woman was too far behind the sinister Gegwo and the slick Gegwo, maybe she shouldn't have fought against the Venerable with her in the first place. However, it was too late to regret it today, the only thing he could do. It is to follow the path you have chosen and continue to walk.
There was a large wine feast in Gejia Village, and more than 20 tribal leaders, as well as Yaya, Seducer, Winter, Geyi Lao, and Geyi Lao were all present. The seats of these elders and would-be elders were of course above those tribal leaders, but the arrangement of seats between them was very delicate.
Ye Xiaotian sat at the top, and the elders and tribal leaders belonged to the clerical power series and the political power series respectively, and should sit on Ye Xiaotian's right hand and left hand respectively. According to the level of seniority, Ge Yilao, who is also an elder of the temple, should sit first on Ye Xiaotian's right hand, followed by Ge Yilao. Yay again, then seducer, and then Quasi-Elder Winter.
However, at the moment, the ranking is at the top of the rankings in winter. The Guy came second, the seducer again, and then the Guyy and the Guy. Winter is the person who has followed Ye Xiaotian the longest, and in this crisis of confrontation between the elder group and the sect venerable. Firmly on the side of the Sect.
Ye Ya and Seducer are in favor of Ye Xiaotian's strategy of going out of the mountain, and they are the first two people among the eight elders, among these two people. The Yayan is stationed in Yefu, and the seducer stays in Geduo Lao's cottage, which is of great help to Ye Xiaotian's plan to go out of the mountain.
Therefore, Ye Xiaotian personally designated that Winter sat first, followed by Yeya, and seduced again, and the next Geyi and Geyi were higher in identity, status, and seniority than these three people, but they could only be at the bottom.
Ye Xiaotian has already expressed his attitude through this: Only those who support me and believe in me can have the possibility of getting ahead! Even if your original position is very low, I can promote you to a position below one person, above ten thousand, and vice versa.
However, in winter, he was not an elder yet, and the eight elders were still alive, and his sitting in the first place meant that someone among the eight elders would definitely step down in the future, even if the mountain was simple and less scheming, this was clearly seen by the leaders and elders present.
But no one broke it, not only did they not break it, but they also accepted Ye Xiaotian's arrangement, this is a very subtle attitude, whether it is aimed at the elder winter, the Yeggao who has already expressed his stance to stand in line, the seducer, the Geyi guy who is trying to maintain neutrality, and the wavering Geyi guy, this is their attitude.
The two dozen tribal leaders on the other side not only witnessed but also approved of this arrangement. The Gu Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years, was launched by this Venerable Ye Xiaotian himself. The change slowly kicked off in such a delicate situation.
Gecai and Gedewa, as well as Geou and Gebo, hurried to the cottage of Gedo. At the banquet, Dongdong, who was sitting in the upper right position, and Ge Duo Lao, who was sitting in the upper left hand position, were laughing and talking with Ye Xiaotian, and Ge Cai Lao came over angrily with Ge Dewa, Ge Ou and Ge Bo Lao.
The banquet suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at them, and then turned their heads to look at Ye Xiaotian, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Winter twisted his body a little uneasily, he was a junior, and the cold gaze of Gecai made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
Ye Xiaotian patted his shoulder with a smile, and felt the power on his palm in winter, and quickly quieted down. Ye Xiaotian sat there with a golden sword, looked at Ge Cailao and the others with a provocative gaze, and said with a smile: "The elders are here, the deity is gathering with the elders and the leaders of the cottage, why don't the elders sit down and have a few drinks together?" ”
He gestured to the empty seat at the end of the elders' seat, a smile on his face that swept over the faces of the Gercai and Gedewa. This was his last recruitment, and it was also his last chance to give the elders......
The first time he was taken advantage of, he was not vigilant enough, and if he gave the enemy a second chance to counterattack, it would be foolish. He won't make that mistake again. If you want to innovate, you must use iron-fisted means, he has sharpened his knife, and now it only depends on how the other party chooses!
