Chapter 15: The Spearhead of the Second Elder
In the hall of the Meng family, the atmosphere was silent, and the eldest elder listened to the second elder without changing his face.
"Great Elder, Second Brother, I have always respected and admired you, but you seem to have gone a little too far, just for a kid with such a low cultivation, the relationship between the Lie family and the Meng family is stiff, as a Great Elder, I feel very disappointed, I feel that you are not qualified to hold the position of Great Elder, and it is very necessary to bear this loss. ”
After the second elder finished speaking coldly, he looked at the other elders around him and forced him to look, "What do you think?"
The other elders, you look at me, I look at you, there was no response for a while, and the third elder who was sitting next to the second elder immediately walked out and said: "The second elder is right, the eldest elder is not responsible, not only ruined the alliance, but also caused the Meng family to fall into dire straits, and also used the earth spirit pattern technique bought at a sky-high price to give to that kid, it is simply a heavenly thing, a waste of our Meng family's funds, you say that if the ancestor knows, what will his old man think?"
"This ......" No matter what, the four elders who had been standing neutral looked embarrassed, and the third elder said coldly, "It seems that the four elders are deliberately shielding the Great Elder." ”
"I ......" The fourth elder was in a dilemma, sweating profusely, he first looked at the eldest elder with a calm expression, and then looked at the second elder and the third elder, and found that there was clearly a hidden murder and threat in their eyes, the fourth elder was very entangled, and finally compromised and said, "I agree with the opinion of the second brother and the third brother. ”
The corners of the second elder's mouth hooked up a grim smile, and the third elder's gaze moved away from the fourth elder, and looked at the other elders again, the other elders looked at each other, and it didn't take long to agree.
The Great Elder sighed and shook his head, expressing his disappointment, the patriarch standing beside him had a dark face, his fists clenched and clanged, and when he was about to come out to seek justice, he was stopped by the Great Elder.
"The second elder is so anxious about the old man's position, and the old man can give it up, but ...... The old man explained a few things in advance, first, the old man bought the earth spirit pattern technique is my personal property, and the old man has never touched the Meng family's funds, and second, the old man is loyal to the Meng family, whether he has done anything wrong over the years, you know it, but this choice is the old man's personal opinion, and it is reasonable for you to complain, but it does not mean that the old man's choice is wrong. ”
"Hmph! I just want to clear my name. The second elder immediately contrasted.
"Huh...... If the old man really wants to continue to be the Great Elder, do you think you have the strength to pull the old man down?" the Great Elder sneered and looked directly at the Second Elder and said.
Hearing this, the Second Elder's expression became gloomy again, because the position of the Great Elder was given by the ancestor of the Meng family, and without the consent of his old man, even if the entire Meng family was unwilling, it would be useless.
The hall fell silent again, the second elder thought about it, and finally thought of something, "The second brother heard it right just now, the eldest elder seems to have said something just now, I don't know if the second brother is having auditory hallucinations or you are mistaken?"
"Oh...... The old man saw that you hadn't spoken for so long, and thought that you would miss the opportunity if you were eyeing you, but it seems that the old man's worries are superfluous. The Great Elder said lightly sarcastically.
"Hehe, Great Elder, what you said is not to be heard, what are you eyeing each other, Second Brother, I am thinking about the future of the Meng family, if I continue to let you sit in the position of Great Elder, I am afraid that the Meng family will be removed from Cangming City in the near future. The second elder retorted and said sinisterly.
The Great Elder smiled and didn't speak, because what the Second Elder said was also reasonable, if Meng Chen couldn't bring the so-called backer to the Meng family, the Lei family and the Xu family would definitely not be as simple as the previous superficial oppression, maybe the Lie family would also help them and besiege the Meng family together.
Seeing that the Great Elder was silent, the Second Elder took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Great Elder, if you don't do this, naturally you believe that kid so much, why don't we gamble?"
"Oh...... What do you say?" said the Great Elder indifferently.
"At the coming-of-age ceremony, as long as that kid can knock my son down, I don't blame this matter in the past, how about it?" the second elder said with a sinister smile and full of confidence.
"Huh...... If you can't defeat him, the old man's position will be given to you, right?" the Great Elder knew that he had a good plan, and sneered.
"Don't you dare?" the second elder was full of confidence and approached the Great Elder.
The Great Elder stood up with a smirk and said casually, "Why don't you dare,"
"Okay, this is what you said yourself, when the ancestor comes out of the customs, you have to say that you don't want to be a second brother and let it go to me. "The second elder made sure that nothing went wrong, and the way back was all thought out.
The Great Elder's brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't expect these two elders to be so meticulous, it seemed that his silence before was only on the surface, but now he showed his true face It was really unexpected for the old man. But...... How could the old man lose, and then said lightly, "That's nature." ”
"Okay, you all heard it, and when the ancestor asks me in the future, you have to testify to the second brother and me. Hearing that the Great Elder readily agreed, the Second Elder smiled and looked back at the Elders, wanting them to be witnesses, but in fact, everyone knew that the Second Elder wanted to pull everyone into the water together.
But what can be done, if you stand on the side of the Great Elder, if the Meng family really goes to the road of extermination, they will be charged with the crime of bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors, so no one wants to become a sinner through the ages and become notorious.
Everyone said "of course" in unison.
After the matter was discussed, the Great Elder felt that there was no need to stay here any longer, and walked directly to the gate to leave, and the Patriarch followed closely.
"Great Elder, why did you stop me just now, what they did just now was so excessive, don't talk about me, if the old man knew about it, he would definitely be furious. The patriarch said for the Great Elder.
"Hehe, you! You are still the same since you were a child, your personality is upright, some things can't be seen on the surface, the second elder is too scheming, you get in his way, he is likely to try his best to get rid of you, although you are the patriarch, but it is only in name, the most important thing for you now is to find a mother-in-law for the old man to come back, and give birth to a few dolls is the right thing, otherwise when the ancestor comes out, the old man will not be able to explain to his old man. ”
The Great Elder said seriously, the patriarch heard the words "looking for a mother-in-law and giving birth", and immediately drowned, turned his face to whistle, and turned his head and left as if he didn't hear it.
The Great Elder shook his head helplessly and smiled, "This kid really hasn't grown. ”
Then he looked up at the distant night sky, his eyes were full of longing, and he was in a daze for a long time, "You...... Are you alright?"
Then the body shook, and the figure disappeared in a blink of an eye?
The next day, in the morning, Meng Chen came to the pool early, this time he also brought the little kitten with a face full of grievances and complaints, because last time Meng Chen left early, the little kitten who slept dead didn't notice it at all, and after waking up, he stayed in the house all day and waited, so hungry that he put his chest on his back, and he didn't see the owner come back until the evening, and he forgot to bring food!
After Meng Chen knew his mistake, he got up this morning and brought it with him.
At this time, the Great Elder finally arrived, and when he saw the kitten in Meng Chen's arms, he looked a little surprised, and asked, "When did you adopt a high-grade spirit pet, and it is a spirit pet that even the old man doesn't know?"
"No, you don't know it?" Meng Chen originally wanted to ask, but who knew that the Great Elder himself didn't know it, what kind of spirit beast did this little cat belong to? Meng Chen held the little kitten in both hands and raised it to look at it, thinking in his heart.
Then a voice came into his mind, and the person who made the voice was the little witch.
"This princess can tell this spirit beast what it is, but you have to do one thing for this princess beforehand. ”
"Huh...... What even you, a god, can't do, how can I, a mortal, do?" Meng Chen said in an unkind tone.
"You...... Hmph!" Hearing this, the little witch was instantly speechless, and snorted angrily.
Meng Chen ignored it, but suddenly thought of something, so he immediately asked, "What about the little angel, I haven't heard her voice for a long time." ”
"Sister...... It seems that she is still angry with me, staying alone in a dark corner and silently sad, and she ignored me when I went to her, so I wanted you to help me comfort her. The little witch said these words, with a very strong sense of self-blame, and her arrogance and dignity were also put down, she was originally the princess who opened and closed her mouth, but now she said "I" weakly, and her tone was pleading.
"Then how do I get in?" Meng Chen agreed without hesitation, because the little angel had helped him a lot.
"Uh...... That is, it is to drip your essence blood into the yin-yang jade, so that the yin-yang jade will recognize you as the master, but ...... However...... "The little witch swallowed, and Meng Chen felt that she was inexplicable.
Then he didn't think much about it, and he didn't care that the Great Elder was here, so he took out a small short knife from the storage and cut his palm, the Great Elder looked dazed and asked, "Meng Chen, what are you cutting your hands for?"
"Because the juniors have a very important thing to do, Grand Elder, can you give the juniors some time?" Meng Chen said seriously.
Seeing that Meng Chen's expression was very serious, the Great Elder nodded.
Meng Chen's left hand immediately grabbed out the Yin-Yang Jade, and his bloody right hand grasped the Yin-Yang Jade, the Yin-Yang Jade absorbed Meng Chen's blood, and it buzzed in the blink of an eye, and it didn't take long for Meng Chen to suddenly feel a subtle connection with the Yin-Yang Jade, until the Yin-Yang Jade recognized the master, Meng Chen seemed to be able to feel even the little witch and the little angel.
The Great Elder kept staring at Meng Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, with a strange look in his eyes.
"He's letting the stones in his hands confess ......"
"Little witch, what about now?" Meng Chen said.
"Throw in with your mind and soul. ”
"Oh" Meng Chen did as he said, and his consciousness and soul suddenly entered the Yin Yang Jade, appearing in front of the little witch without any obstacles.
Meng Chen first looked around and found that there was nothing in this world except for half white and half black, and a bed with one yin and one yang.
He said in a low voice, "You should be very lonely. ”
"Hmph, it goes without saying, it's all because of you. The little witch said coldly.
Meng Chen looked at his hands and this monotonous and tasteless world, and said blankly, "Because of me?"
"Hmph!" the little witch looked away.
"I'm sorry. Meng Chen didn't know why, the little witch's words made him feel as if they were true, but he was not impressed at all, so he had to apologize.
Seeing him apologize, the little witch stopped putting on a face, turned around and walked towards the dark world, Meng Chen followed the footsteps, and not long after, he saw a little girl shrinking in a dark corner, crying, the little witch stopped, and Meng Chen walked over.
The sound of crying became clearer and clearer, Meng Chen came to her side gently, it felt someone approaching, and cried without looking back, "Woo woo~ Sister, don't come here, sister is so scary." ”
The little witch in the distance heard her sister say that she was terrible, her heart was like a knife, her pink lips were bitten white by her white jade teeth, her hands tightly pinched the black butterfly skirt and wrinkled, she looked sadly at her sister who was curled up, couldn't bear to shed two tears like pearls, and turned around and left sadly.
Meng Chen could feel her heart aching, and watched her leave with complicated eyes, until her back disappeared, and he sighed.
"Huh?"
And at this time, the little angel heard the voice that didn't seem to be his sister, so he turned his round little head and saw that it was Meng Chen, and his big eyes blinked inadvertently.
"Huh~! It's a big brother. ”
