"It must be him, it must be!"

In the empty hall of the temple, Gecai's voice was particularly cold. This old woman, who was over eighty years old, usually looked like a kind and misty old woman, but after all, she was a ruler who had become a temple elder at the age of forty, and had sat on the altar with a scepter in her hand for more than forty years.

Ge Ou frowned and said: "No, maybe it's just a coincidence, our temple has been built here for more than a thousand years, and before that, the thunder of the thunder god forbidden land has been unknown for tens of thousands of years, this is the power of heaven, any mortal will become powder under the thunder of that day, how can he Ye Xiaotian change the celestial phenomena?" ”

Geborao said slowly: "What is the trick, we naturally don't know, but do you believe that water can flow to high places?" He did, he led the water from the bottom of the valley up the ridge, and if he had a way to stop the thunder, I don't think it would be impossible. ”

"That's different, it's that he uses a waterwheel, and the waterwheel can lead the water up the embankment, and if you do it right, you can naturally rise it up to the top of the mountain," Gedwa said. But this is a thunderbolt, if you are next to it, you will die if you touch it, how can he let the thunder stop? ”

Ge Yi Lao thought for a while and said: "You said, we don't want him to meet people, we just want him to stay in the temple and be a venerable who keeps to himself, but just grounded him, and the thunder that has been ringing for more than a thousand years has stopped, will it really be a god...... Helping him, huh? ”

Gedwa sneered, "Impossible! Even if there really are gods......"

Speaking of this, Gedewa's old face turned red, an elder who relied on divine authority to control hundreds of thousands of mountain people, he himself felt embarrassed when he said such a thing, so he coughed and said: "How can he Ye Xiaotian, how can he be blessed by the gods?" In my opinion, he must have done it, but it must have been in an ulterior way! It's not a manifest spirit! ”

Ge Yilao, who had not spoken much, said slowly: "If it's the method he used." Doesn't it have to be the will of the gods? How do you know that it wasn't the gods who prompted him to think of a way to stop the thunder? ”

Ge Cai Lao said angrily: "Ge Yi Lao, what do you mean by this? ”

Ge Yilao slowly lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "It doesn't mean anything, I just think that if the Venerable tried to lead the believers out of the mountain to go against the orders of the Venerable of his predecessors and was a great rebellion, then we imprisoned the Venerable and tried to use the Venerable as a puppet." It is even more heinous. ”

The wrinkles on Gedewa's face became thicker: "Geyilao, do you want to give in to His Holiness?" ”

Ge Yilao was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If this momentum is created by the gods, it cannot be disobeyed. If His Holiness did it, it would have been done, and it would not be something we could stop us. If you don't want His Holiness to go his own way, think about how you can stop His Holiness from taking advantage of the opportunity when He comes forward. ”

Geyio finished. Then he turned and walked out.

The tall door of the hall closed gently, and the sound made in this quiet hall was no less than a muffled thunder, which shook everyone for a long time. The Yeo and the Seducer had apparently submitted to His Holiness, and now the Geyi had a neutral attitude of not helping each other. There were only five people left in the hall.

Ge Cai Lao and Ge Dewa gave each other an inquiring look, and were about to say something, when Bao Weng, the chief guard of the temple warriors, quietly appeared at the door: "Elders, there are four mountain lords and five village lords rushing to the temple. Ask to see His Holiness. ”

Ever since the news of the auspicious omen spread, there has been an endless stream of tribal leaders who have come to ask His Holiness to hold a grand ceremony to worship the Thunder God, and the Eight Great Elders are overwhelmed. But he couldn't drive them away, so he could only find an excuse to stop them from entering the meeting, and temporarily settle them nearby, not wanting to have nine at once today.

Ge Nilao immediately said: "You discuss first, I will go to meet a few village owners and mountain owners to appease them!" ”

After saying that, Greny slipped away. Ye Xiaotian took the relatives of the eight elders out of the mountain, lived around his mansion, and took great pains to arrange things for them, they were called back to the mountain just after a roll in the red dust, and their hearts were already wild, and these elders were not less complained by their relatives.

Some elders such as Ge Cai Lao and Ge Dewa were still unaffected, but some elders couldn't help but let the balance in their hearts tilt slightly in favor of Ye Xiaotian. How many people can be too forgetful? When it comes to faith, those simple mountain people actually have deeper faith than them, and the attitude of their loved ones has already influenced Geyi and Geyilao.

The Spirant left, and the tall hall door thudged again, still slight, still shocking. Ge Cai Lao looked at the main hall, only half of the eight elders remained, and in the remaining half, except for Ge Dewa's clear attitude, Ge Ou and Ge Bo Lao's attitude was very warm, they may not betray, but the real plan must not be discussed with them.

Feeling powerless, she slowly took two steps back and slowly sat down in her chair with her crutches. Although she is small in stature, she usually sits in the high-backed chair and still has a very dignified demeanor. And at this time, she seems so small.

Since the death of Ge Lao and Ge Wol, Ge Cai Lao is the most respected and powerful elder among the eight elders, followed by Ge Dewa, and now she is sitting there, but she looks so helpless, this scene looks in the eyes of Ge Ou and Ge Bo Lao, and she can't help but feel some sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

In fact, the rabbit is not dead, and the fox is sad, which is all blamed for the fact that the colorful guy does not know how to stabilize the heart of the army. Although she had traveled the world when she was young, she had spent nearly fifty years in the temple, cowering in the temple in the mountains, and her intrigue was really small compared to the outside world, and her reaction was already sluggish, and she directly exposed her despair and frustration in front of her companions who were not so firm in fighting spirit, how could she not lose her military spirit.

"Venerable, the food you ordered, and the wine." Several maids set the table with gold cups and silver cups, and poured grape wine for Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian sat down at the long dining table, waved his hand and said, "All stand down, I will call you when you need it!" ”

"Yes!" The maids saluted him and withdrew. As soon as they left, Ye Xiaotian picked up the chopsticks, made a mess of the delicacies, and then sat back on the chair, took out a bag of beef jerky from his arms, poured out a bowl of water from the vase, and chewed it.

Ye Xiaotian's dining hall is as magnificent as a palace. That dining table is also extremely huge, Ye Xiaotian orders a large number of dishes every day, if Emperor Wanli orders such a table, I am afraid that he will be impeached by the official, but here, no one will object to Ye Xiaotian's request.

Ye Xiaotian didn't squander and waste, the reason why he ordered so many dishes was so that people couldn't see whether he had eaten or not, anyway, with so many dishes, everyone would support every bite of everything. The temple was under the control of the elders. He didn't dare to take risks, who knows if there was poison in that dish, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

In the end, Ge Cai Lao did not express her deepest worries and plans in front of Ge Ou and Ge Bo Lao, who she did not absolutely trust, until the two left, and only she and Ge Dewa were left in the main hall, Ge Cai Lao let out a long sigh and said, "Perhaps, we were wrong from the beginning, if we let Ge Lao be the Venerable." It won't be any worse than it is now. ”

Gedwa frowned and said, "That's not necessarily, there is some collusion between Ge Yu Lao and the Banzhou Yang Clan. Why did the Banzhou Yang clan come to befriend him as a temple elder? The Yang family's Tusi is extremely powerful, if he really succeeds in helping Ge Yan to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that our sect will fall into a place of no return. ”

Ge Cai said indignantly: "It's almost the same now! If you give him a chance to climb and shout. Do the tribal chiefs listen to you, me, or to him? At that time, I'm afraid you and I will become prisoners! ”

Gedwa was silent for a long time and said, "So, what are you going to do?" ”

Gecai is like a trapped tiger. After pacing slowly in the hall for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to turn your heart across and send him back to the west!" Even if there is some rioting. It's only temporary, after a long time, it will be quiet, and then who will remember today's events, and our God Cult can still stand in the mountains! ”

The corners of Gedewa's eyes twitched a few times and he didn't make a sound, killing the Venerable, such a decision, he really couldn't say it. But Ge Cai Lao glared at him with fierce eyes, and did not look sloppy: "What do you say? If he is allowed to return to power, others may be able to let him go, but you and I must be finished, and if we hesitate at this time, we will regret it! ”

Gedwa struggled for a long time in his heart, and let out a long sigh, "How do we start?" ”

Ge Cailao was overjoyed in his heart and said: "If you want him to die without injuries and traces, and don't teach people to see the flaws, the old body can still do it." ”

Gedwa said, "Yes, in addition to Gu, your poison is also a must!" ”

Ge Cai said: "Without further ado, since you have made a decision, you should do it immediately, and it will change later!" The old body does it, you are the protector of the Dharma, in case the old body misses, you must make up the knife in time! ”

Gedwa was also relieved, and said categorically: "Don't worry, since I have already done it, I will not keep my hand!" ”

Ye Xiaotian's time in the temple was too short, he knew how bluffing his identity as a venerable person was, but he didn't know how much energy the eight elders had. Therefore, he can only guess based on the relationship between Emperor Yangwei and his ministers: an emperor, no matter how wise and powerful he is, his ministers also have a large number of henchmen, these people only have their lord in their hearts and no Son of Heaven, as long as their lord gives an order, they dare to rebel and kill even if it is the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Ye Xiaotian overestimated the ability of the Eight Great Elders, in his opinion, at least the entire temple was under the strict control of the Eight Great Elders, if he wanted to kill himself, as long as the Eight Great Elders made a look, those henchmen of theirs would take action, but this was not the case.

The Venerable and the Elders, as the holders of the common good, spared no effort to praise the Gu God, and as the servants of the Gu God Sect who walked in the world: the Servant God Venerable also had the supreme position. The elders had raised His Holiness to the altar in order to control their followers, but they did not expect that they would one day stand against His Holiness.

This kind of thing shouldn't have happened in the first place, because the interests of His Holiness have always been the same as theirs, but now there is such an outlier as Ye Xiaotian, as the biggest enjoyer of the interests of the Divine Cult, he prefers to destroy the Great Wall, to eliminate the influence of the Divine Cult, and to establish secular power rule.

As a result, to this day, His Holiness has been praised by them as a demigod, and even they are restricted. Even if they are henchmen, if they command: "His Holiness is still young, he is tempted by the red dust, and he does not want to return to the mountain, you should be careful, and you must not let His Holiness come into contact with people from various tribes, nor let him go out!" ”

The temple warriors will do the same, but if they summon a group of temple warriors, tell them, "Go, cut down the Venerable!" "Even if they come up with reasonable reasons, including demonic possession, this is far beyond the bottom line that the samurai can accept, and they dare not do it.

Maybe one or two of them will have the courage to do this for the sake of glory and wealth. But who has the courage and who doesn't, even these people in their henchmen, they can't be sure, and now they are not allowed to test them one by one, so they can only do it themselves in an emergency.

Ge Cailao unscrewed the handle of the cane in his hand, took out a small black bottle from it and clasped it in his palm, smiled coldly, and walked towards Ye Xiaotian's dining room. The two white-clothed maids were standing at the door waiting for His Holiness to summon them, when they suddenly saw the Chief Elder and the Second Elder arriving together, the two maids were taken aback and hurriedly bowed to the ground.

"No need to be polite!" This door is very heavy, and the sound insulation is also very good, Gecai is not afraid that Ye Xiaotian will hear it, she said with a calm face: "We two elders, there is a very important matter that needs to be discussed with the Venerable, you all step down!" The two maids didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly agreed, and moved lightly to avoid it.

Ge Cai turned his head to look at Gedwa, put his hand in his sleeve, pressed his thumb on the cork, tapped the door with his cane, and walked in......
