Chapter 35: The Test
At Hua Feng's urging, the car arrived in the Shennongjia primeval forest in one day, and after stopping at the outpost on the periphery, they were led to walk deeper into the forest. The primeval forest that obscured the sky made it dark just after four o'clock in the afternoon.
There was no one talking along the way, and the dull atmosphere made Hua Feng a little reluctant to ask Shen Qiu beside him, "Hall Master Shen, how long have we lived in this forest?"
"It's been about five thousand years, except for the six elders who stayed in the Six Sages Tomb of Emperor Yan over the years, the rest of the elders and most of the leaders of the peasant family have stayed here. ”
Yun Meng was surprised by the history of the farmhouse and interjected, "Wouldn't that be boring, where are the other three hall masters?"
"Back to the girl's words, Gonggongtang, Chiyou Hall, Siyue Hall, these three hall masters have rushed back from the field today to meet the new heroes, usually scattered all over the place, the farmer has its own supercomputer network, everyone is equipped with a personal computer can connect to the internal network, usually use 3D holographic projection technology to meet and communicate. And the main task of his Shennong Sixth Hall is to help ordinary people improve their lives and give as much help as possible to those in need within their ability. Shen Qiu told eloquently.
"Well, Shennong's not only inherits and carries forward the Chinese culture, but also keeps up with the times and has its own technology and network, which is really remarkable, it seems that Shennong is immortal, and everything runs through the history of the entire farm. Hua Feng couldn't help but admire.
"yes, it's really remarkable. Than the heart, than the heart. Yunmeng said.
After more than half an hour of hurrying, Hua Feng saw a modern and simple version of the wooden structure complex appear in front of him, which was roughly estimated to be a village that could accommodate two or three thousand people.
"The front is the headquarters, you come with me, and I will take you to meet the elders of the House of Elders. Shen Qiu said.
Hua Feng nodded and Yun Meng kept up with Shen Qiu's pace, and the peasant disciples who were patrolling saw Shen Qiu Hua Feng and several people stopped one after another, and greeted, Hua Feng waved his hand and signaled not to be polite and do what you should do.
Outside the meeting hall of the farmhouse headquarters. Twenty elders and three hall masters greeted them early,
"Do you think the new hero can take on this burden?"
"Who knows, the old man has also wasted more than 150 years, but this is the first time that the hero has been replaced, and let's look at it. ”
"Alright, stop muttering, they're coming. An old man with a white beard ended the conversation.
Hua Feng and his party from afar walked over under the leadership of Shen Qiu.
"I've seen the Elders. Shen Qiu bowed his hand to the elders. "This is the new chivalrous man Hua Feng, and that girl is his girlfriend Shangguan Yunmeng. Shen Qiu said.
Hua Feng bowed and bowed for a week, "Junior, I have met all the elders, hall masters, please take care of me in the future." ”
Yun Meng followed suit, although she didn't like to greet strangers politely, but for Hua Feng's sake, she could only endure it first.
"The chivalrous and the girl don't have to be polite, please inside. The Grand Elder made a gesture of invitation.
After everyone entered the hall and sat down, the Great Elder said straight to the point, "According to the usual practice, the Elder's House will test the successor selected by the previous Xia Kui to test whether he can lead hundreds of thousands of disciples of the peasant family to earth all things and uphold the will of Emperor Yan. I heard the report sent back by Hall Master Shen that Xia Kui is going to Australia to find out what is going on, and give an explanation for the missing disciples of my farm. ”
"That's right. Hua Feng replied.
"In that case, we have decided to make your trip to Australia a test. If you can return home with a satisfactory result, we will officially put at your disposal all the resources that the farmer has accumulated over thousands of years. I wonder what you think?" a hint of cunning flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.
After hearing this, Hua Feng wondered in his heart. There is still such a test, and no one has told him about it when he met the hall masters before, whether it is on Longhu Mountain or on the way back. It seems that the farmhouse looks peaceful on the surface, and there are many people who have different fireworks and their successors.
At any given time, the temptation of power is enough for people to compete for, not to mention that such a large power as a peasant chivalrous man means absolute resources. Incense cars, beauties, wealth, treasures, it should be everything. But these things have a fatal temptation for others, and Hua Feng is not much interested in joining in the fun.
If it weren't for the deathbed trust of his master, who had the grace to save his life, he would never have come to this troubled water, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he is in a dilemma. But since you have encountered it, you can't retreat, and only by moving forward bravely can you break through the blockade and enter a new world. Hua Feng decided that this trip to Australia must make some achievements, otherwise he will not only not be able to succeed as the hero, but also may let the snobbery within the farmer family split the farmer, what is obviously the old fox's big elder thinking in his heart, although he doesn't know, but it is estimated that this big elder is very bad.
"I promise you that this trip to Australia will be a test for my succession, and I will definitely perform well and live up to the trust of the elders and hall masters." Hua Feng no longer hesitated, and his tough tone revealed the domineering spirit that he was determined to win.
When Yun Meng saw this, he couldn't help but admire Hua Feng in his heart and wanted to applaud him.
Originally, the elders of the Elders' House who wanted to give him a dismount praised Hua Feng a few words politely. The hall masters who were waiting to see the excitement also put away their contemptuous gazes and looked squarely at this post-born boy, who might become their boss in the future.
