Chapter 114
And at this moment, Ouyang and the others have come here, according to Murong Yan's arrangement, they came to the wooden shed on the left side of the ring, not long after they sat down, three people appeared in the wooden shed opposite, two women and one man, when he saw the man, Murong Yi immediately became very irritable, looked at the other party fiercely, and wanted to rush over and eat him alive.
Seeing this, Ouyang asked Murong Feixue softly, "Feixue, who are those people on the other side, why is Xiao Yi's emotions so excited?"
Seeing Xiao Yi's excited appearance, Murong Feixue said softly: "The man in green clothes on the opposite side is Murong Ze, and the plainly dressed woman next to him is Murong Ze's mother, Murong Zhen, the woman in red is Murong Ze's wife, Murong Feiyan, these two women are not good things, relying on the relationship between Murong Yan is patriarch, they are powerful in the clan, and many patriarchs hate them to the core, but they have Murong Yan's backing, so everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak!"
Hearing this, Ouyang smiled and said: "Hehe, no wonder they can be a family, it turns out that they are all so vicious, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door." If Murong Ze wins the inheritance of the next patriarch this time, then the two of them won't fly, hmph, it's really a dog!"
Then he turned to Murong Yi and said: "Xiao Yi, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, today we are here to participate in the competition, not to take revenge, the overall situation is important, you must endure and keep a normal heart, otherwise your achievements will be wasted." But don't worry, one day I will personally hand him over to you, and you will be at your disposal!"
As soon as he heard this, Murong Yi nodded deeply and said indifferently: "Brother-in-law, I know what to do, don't worry, I won't be rash, the overall situation is important, just let this beast be on fire for a few days, one day I will take his dog head to Yanxiu's grave to pay respects!" Then he clenched his fists angrily.
Seeing Murong Yi's angry look, Murong Yan'er didn't know how to comfort him, so she stretched out her jade hand and held Murong Yi tightly, and found that Murong Yan'er's hand was holding herself, Murong Yi turned her head to look at Murong Yan'er beside her, and immediately felt a warmth in her heart, and soon his anger disappeared, replaced by an easy-going Murong Yi.
After a while, fourteen people appeared on the judges, they were the four elders in white, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, all white, only the red handwriting on the chest was embroidered with wind, fire, thunder, and electricity to distinguish their identities.
Among them, Elder Feng Murong Qian and Elder Lei Murong Xiaoyun sat there indifferently with serious faces, a little impatient, highlighting their arrogant personalities. As for Elder Huo, Murong Lie was always holding a wine gourd, entertaining himself there, looking very comfortable, and he didn't care about the state of the scene at all. Only the white-haired, kind-faced Elder Dian Murong Ling, who was Murong Ze's grandmother, made Ouyang feel very dangerous. Don't see her kind face, but once she laughed, there was a thick murderous aura hidden between her eyebrows, which made Ouyang feel restless.
So Ouyang immediately asked Murong Feixue about Murong Ling's situation, only to see him frowning, and said indifferently: "Feixue, what is the origin of that Murong Ling, he looks kind, but the thick murderous aura hidden between his eyebrows has to be guarded against!"
Seeing Ouyang's nervous appearance, Murong Feixue said indifferently: "God, you're right, this Murong Ling is indeed not a good person, she is a well-known black widow, she is very cruel to people, and if she is not careful, her head will fall to the ground." And this person's martial arts are very vicious, good at using poison, once it falls into her hands, even if he is immortal, he will be tortured by her to madness, among the four elders, except for Elder Fire, who far surpasses the three of them, his martial arts are the highest. And she is also a famous shrew, and she is very strict with her man, don't look at Elder Lei's respected status outside, but once she returns to the Taoist home, she will be Murong Ling's world, Murong Ling will do whatever he wants, and the authentic wife will be strict!"
As soon as he heard this, Ouyang felt uncomfortable, and then he said sadly: "I didn't expect an old woman with a kind face to have such a powerful ability, it seems that your ghost clan is really talented!"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Feixue pouted and said with an unhappy face: "I won't be as vicious as her, even if I am killed, I will not torture people, although she is the number one female master of our ghost clan, few people will approach her, so she has not found a woman who can inherit her mantle so far, but there is one thing I envy her, and the men in her family are obedient, if only I could do that!"
Hearing that Murong Feixue wanted to be obedient and make himself a strict wife like Murong Xiaoyun, he immediately grabbed Murong Feixue's small waist obscenely and said softly: "Why do you want me to be a strict wife?"
In the face of Ouyang's offensive, Murong Feixue did not retreat in the slightest, listened to her chest, and said firmly: "Yes, I just want you to be a strict wife, so that you don't mess with flowers everywhere!" Then she naughtily tapped Ouyang's forehead with her finger.
I saw Ouyang tilt his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's not impossible to make me a strict wife, unless you ......"
As soon as she heard that Ouyang was willing to be taken care of by herself, Murong Feixue suddenly felt a burst of joy, so she said excitedly, "Unless what?" Then she looked at Ouyang expectantly.
Seeing her expectant look, Ouyang smiled sinisterly, put his head close to her ear, and whispered, "Unless you can make me unable to get out of bed for three days and three nights......
Hearing this, Murong Feixue's face suddenly flushed, and she pushed Ouyang in shame, and then she pretended to be angry and said, "I hate ......" and then turned his head away, embarrassed to look at Ouyang.
Immediately, Ouyang felt very funny, sat on the side and looked at Murong Feixue's ashamed appearance, and snickered softly.
At this time, on the judges' stand, the four elders dressed in simple clothes and the heads of the five families who were simple and clear sat there quietly, looking very indifferent and not saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Ouyang felt a little bad, according to the personalities of Murong Ba and Murong Ao, in this competition, Murong Yi can occupy an absolute advantage, if he succeeds in winning, they should be smiling and whispering on the side at this moment, but now the two of them have a straight face and don't say a word, even the heads of the five major families, it seems unreasonable. ()
Seeing this, Ouyang frowned slightly, when he was about to explain the situation to Murong Yi. Murong Yan, who was dressed in red, walked to the center of the ring with a smile, looked at the people in the audience, and said happily: "Everyone be quiet!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately fell silent, quietly looking at Murong Yan and listening to him.
I saw Murong Yan look down, and found that everyone was quiet, so he said indifferently: "Everyone, I think everyone knows what you are calling here for today, right? Yes, now the volcanic crisis that has plagued us for many years has been lifted, that is to say, we have returned to the Holy Land, where we have fertile land and rich minerals, I believe that as long as we work hard, we will soon be able to develop and reproduce the glory of our ghost clan!"
Upon hearing this, all the clansmen immediately cheered: "Glory again! Glory again!"
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic appearance, Murong Yan immediately felt very happy, and then he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After everyone was quiet, he continued: "If you want to realize the glory of the ghost clan, you need a good patriarch, I, Murong Yan, have served as the patriarch for thirty years, according to the rules of the clan, the patriarch must retire at the age of sixty, and the new patriarch will take the position of the patriarch of the ghost clan, leading all the clansmen to prosperity." ”
"I will be sixty next year, and I will soon be higher than the position of patriarch, but the ghost clan cannot be without a patriarch for a day, so today, we will choose one of the two young people who are Murong Ze and Murong Yi, the three masters of the ghost clan that we recognize, to inherit the position of patriarch. Originally, the three masters had the opportunity to participate in the election, but Murong Yan'er was a daughter, and according to the clan rules, unless she was a saint who was recognized by the treasure of our clan's town 'Flame Bead', she could serve as the patriarch, otherwise no woman had the right to serve as the patriarch. Now the Flame Bead is suppressing the volcano in Lingyun Mountain, and Murong Yan'er is not recognized, so Murong Yan'er is not eligible to run. The patriarch's successor can only be chosen among Murong Yi and Murong Ze!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone in the audience began to whisper, and in an instant, the scene was chaotic.
At this time, Ouyang looked at Murong Feixue curiously, and said softly: "It turns out that the Flame Bead still has this function, and now that you have been recognized by the Flame Bead, can't you run for election?"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Feixue shook his head gently, seeing this scene, Ouyang suddenly felt a burst of doubts, and then Murong Feixue smiled and said: "Hehe, it's not that you can run for election, but directly confirm, according to the rules of the ghost clan, once someone is recognized by the Flame Bead, she will be directly promoted to the patriarch, even if she has made mistakes before, no one can stop her!"
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and said indifferently: "Doesn't that mean that the one who got the Flame Bead is in charge of the Ghost Clan?"
"Well, so to speak!" Murong Feixue said casually.
Then Ouyang laughed softly: "Haha, it seems that Murong Yan is determined to lose this time, even if Xiao Yi accidentally loses to Murong Ze." When the time comes, as long as you come forward and prove to them that you have been approved by the Flame Bead, then you are not the patriarch of the Ghost Clan!"
"That's right, why didn't I expect it, this time Murong Yan lost, I didn't even think that he would die, the red light of the volcano was not suppressed by the flame bead, but was taken back into the body by the broken sky, and became its sword soul, hum, thousands of calculations, I never thought that the flame bead was still in my body, I see if you have anything to say!"
Seeing Murong Feixue's fierce face, Ouyang said softly: "Don't worry, until the last moment, let's not tell this matter, lest Murong Yan be on guard and beat him up, saying that you are deceiving your superiors and subordinates." Steal the flame beads and forcibly recover them, and when the time comes, we won't be able to wash them even if we jump into the Yellow River!"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Feixue nodded in horror.
On the stage, Murong Yan saw that everyone was talking about this matter, so he continued to say loudly: "The patriarch of the ghost clan must be a person with outstanding intelligence, strong martial arts, and courage, only in this way can he lead our ghost clan to prosperity." So in this competition, we have a total of three questions, respectively, to test their wisdom, courage and martial arts, to win the most as the next patriarch, this competition by me, the four great elders, the elder hall of the four elders and the head of the five families out of the judges of this competition, fair and just, to select the best patriarch of our ghost clan, you are the witnesses, if you have any questions, just ask, we will answer them for you one by one, if there is no doubt, then now invite them to the stage, ready to start the first exam!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly quiet, so Murong Yan said loudly: "Okay, since everyone has no doubts, then we will invite the two of them to play now!"
As soon as the words fell, Murong Yi and Murong Ze jumped on the stage, their eyes facing each other, full of anger, the two couldn't help but clench their fists, glaring at each other, full of gunpowder, and could explode at any time.
Seeing that the expressions of the two of them were a little wrong, Murong Yan immediately appeared among them and said loudly: "Okay, since the two candidates have come up, let's start the first question, the intelligence question, in order to prevent someone from cheating, you will write the answer in your heart on your own paper." Is there anything you want to ask?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Murong Ze and Murong Yi, and saw that both of them nodded lightly.
So he continued: "Since there is no doubt, let's start, please listen to the question 'Red sunrise, flying branches, a surprise, all households know.'" 'Guess an animal, you've got three minutes, think about it and write it down on paper, okay, let's go!'
So the two of them went to their respective seats, picked up the pen in their hands, and thought carefully.
For a while, the scene became very quiet, and everyone was thinking about the riddle just now, 'Red sunrise, flying branches, a scream, all households know'. (Zhao Pengtian Zhao Pengtian) what is this, maybe you don't know very well, but you must have seen it, no matter when, it will appear on time and guide you......
As the minutes passed, Murong Ze and Murong Yi both showed nervous expressions, holding the pen in their hands, repeating the riddle in their minds, looking for answers from what they knew.
After hearing the puzzle, Ouyang also began to think, only to see that his eyes were closed, his hands were crossed over his chest, he was breathing evenly, forgetting himself, putting everything behind, reaching the realm of self-forgetfulness, and thinking deeply about this puzzle. Suddenly, Ouyang's eyes lit up, his eyes opened, and he smiled at the two people in the ring.
Seeing Ouyang's smug expression, Murong Feixue knew that Ouyang must have guessed the puzzle, so she asked curiously, "God, did you guess it?"
I saw Ouyang nodding with a smile, so Murong Feixue grabbed Ouyang's arm excitedly and said happily: "Really, you are amazing, can you tell me what the mystery is?"
Ouyang gently approached Murong Feixue's ear and said softly, "Rooster ......"
As soon as she heard this, Murong Feixue looked at Ouyang Ouyang in surprise, and then she thought carefully about the twelve words, 'Red sunrise, flying branches, a startled roar, all households know'. Then she smiled softly and said casually: "It turns out that the so-called mystery of this puzzle is around us, always with us, it depends on whether they can observe life carefully!"
"Not necessarily!" Ouyang retorted.
So Murong Feixue immediately looked at Ouyang suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Why is this, isn't what I said wrong?"
"You're half right, for Xiao Yi, this matter really needs him to carefully recall everything around him, otherwise it is impossible to guess. But for Murong Ze, there is no need to be so troublesome, you don't forget whose son he is!" Ouyang said indifferently.
As soon as he heard this, Murong Feixue suddenly fell into silence, and secretly said in his heart, 'Yes, Murong Ze is Murong Yan's son, and the topic is Murong Yan's son, how could he not know the answer?' Thinking of this, Murong Feixue couldn't help frowning, and sweated deeply for Murong Yi.
On the other hand, in the ring, although Murong Ze and Murong Yi were nervous and anxious in front of outsiders, they were in different moods in their hearts. Seeing Murong Yi's nervous face, Murong Ze smiled happily in his heart, "Hahaha, Murong Yi, at the beginning, I was not as good as you, my martial arts were not as strong as you, my resourcefulness was not as high as yours, and I was not even as proud as you emotionally. If it weren't for my grandmother spending a year treating me, I'm afraid I'd still be a cripple, and I swore to God that I would humiliate you in front of the whole people, leaving you with nothing...... Now is the time for me to take revenge on you, this competition is just a formality, I know the answers to all the questions in advance, even if you can tie with me by walking shit luck, but in the final competition, you still can't win against me...... 'After finishing speaking, he overbearingly wrote his answer on the paper 'Rooster'.
And when Murong Yi saw Murong Ze's nervous face, he suddenly felt amused, and said secretly, "Heh, Murong Ze, do you think I don't know that Murong Yan's old fox has already told the answer in advance." Do you think that in this way, you will definitely be able to win against me? Probably underestimate me Murong Yi, don't worry, I will definitely beat you into a waste in the final competition, hum...... 'Then he also wrote the answer on his own paper.
Soon after he finished writing, Murong Yan immediately said loudly: "Okay, when the time comes, please put down the pen and paper in your hands immediately." ”
So Murong Ze and Murong Yi put down the pen and paper in their hands at the same time, and stood there indifferently, thinking about each other in their hearts.
Then Murong Yan said: "Okay, now let's take a look at the answers of the two players, and then let's take a look at Murong Ze's answers first!"
I saw Murong Ze hold up the answer he wrote and show it to everyone. So Murong Yan looked at the big words on the paper and read aloud, "Rooster, Murong Ze's answer is rooster!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience began to whisper.
Murong Yan didn't pay attention to the situation in the audience at all, and immediately said indifferently: "Now that Murong Ze's answer is known, let's take a look at Murong Yi's answer!" So he turned his head to look at Murong Yi.
I saw Murong Yi smile softly, and then he said indifferently: "'Red sunrise, flying branches, a startling, all households know', refers to the rooster reporting the dawn, so my answer is also a rooster!" After finishing speaking, he held up his paper, and the two big characters 'rooster' appeared dazzlingly in front of everyone.
After seeing this, everyone began to whisper, "Amazing, the two of them have exactly the same answer!"
"Murong Yi is recognized by our ghost clan as a wise man, it is not unusual for him to be able to guess the answer, but even Murong Ze can guess the answer, this is a bit strange, could it be that his IQ is higher than Murong Yi?"
"Tall fart, you guys can also see who came up with the question of this competition, he can guess what curiosity is!"
......
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
After discussion, the judges handed over their opinions to Murong Yan, and the result after statistics was a "draw".
So Murong Yan said with an ugly face: "Well, they are all very good, they guessed their own answers, and they all guessed correctly, yes, the answer is roosters, so, according to the judges' opinions, this competition is a draw." Take a break and wait for the next competition. With that, he walked to the judges' bench.
Suddenly, Ouyang's voice rang out, and I saw him standing in the wooden shed, and said loudly: "Patriarch Murong Yan, I think this competition is unfair, and I ask the patriarch to answer for me!"
As soon as he heard this, Murong Yan suddenly felt full of anger, and turned his head to look at Ouyang fiercely, eager to immediately break him into pieces, but Ouyang was not only the next patriarch of the Congenital Clan, but also Murong Lie's apprentice, and he didn't dare to offend him in any way. So he said with a peaceful face: "Oh, then I don't know what Ouyang Gongzi has to teach you?"
"I don't dare to take it, it's just a small proposal, I don't know if Patriarch Murong Yan is willing to listen to it?" Ouyang said with a smile.
Murong Yan immediately greeted him with a smile and said gently: "Hehe, Ouyang Gongzi said it's okay!"
So Ouyang said indifferently: "Okay, since that's the case, then Zhentian will be offended." Presumably everyone knows the relationship between Murong Ze and Murong Yan Patriarch, yes, they are father and son. Just ask if there are parents in the world who don't want their children to become talents, and now the patriarch Murong Yan is the one who wrote the questions in this competition, and they are more or less biased towards their own children, so I think that the next competition questions should be presented by everyone present, so as not to let some people get mixed up and get lucky!"
