Chapter 198: Chaotic Scramble!
Su Tianyi's brother and sister's eyes widened, and they looked incredulous. How could there be such a coincidence in this world, just so happened that Su Lejing knew this method of submission?
"Lejing, you're not going to lie to the big brother and sister to play, right?"
Su Ruyue didn't believe it, and Su Tianyi was the same, how could there be so many coincidences in the world. Su Lejing was helpless and chuckled: "Isn't this just a coincidence." I just heard from the eldest sister that it seems to be very similar to the treasure that the elder said, and I feel that it is really destiny. If you can get this treasure back, you can exchange it for a lot of sect contribution points. β
Saying that, Su Lejing seemed very happy and told some of the characteristics of this treasure, and the result almost coincided with what Su Ruyue had heard, and even had a lot of information. While surprising Su Tianyi's brother and sister, they also felt that something seemed wrong.
Su Lejing snickered in his heart, he already knew about this matter. This treasure of Linshan City is just a small four-star demon beast, with some special abilities, which can lay down a natural illusion and kill monks. It's a pity that Su Lejing's strength and vision can't be swayed by this little four-star demon beast.
Su Lejing, including the eldest brother and sister, naturally did not lack that little money, but the kindness of grandfather Su Baili made them very happy. At least it won't be a straight face, it's already good, now the Su family has a big business, and there is no need to think about continuing to expand and develop in a short period of time. As long as a large family can get along well, and the clansmen in the family can get along well, help each other, and support each other, it is Su Baili's greatest wish now.
Early the morning of the second day after Chinese New Year's Eve, before dawn, everyone was called to the ancestral hall of the Su family, and almost all the Su family members who could come came here. After more than half a year of development, the financial resources of the Su family have risen again, and the ancestral hall has also been renovated and rebuilt, looking tall and solemn, majestic and dignified, and the place in the hall is extremely spacious, as small as half a square. Especially the words 'Su Ancestral Hall' hanging high on the door made all the Su family members silent.
At the front of the ancestral hall, there are countless rankings, all of whom have served as patriarchs in the family. The elders, or the seniors who have made great contributions to the Su family, there are also some thick and long books that record the development history of the Su family, which have been soaked in special medicinal materials, and ordinary water and fire cannot be damaged. It records the information of everyone since the Su family started to establish a clan in Linshan City, including some of the growth process.
The guards and managers of the Su ancestral hall were two old men in their 160s, wearing solemn black robes, gray hair, and half-squinted eyes. Sitting on the chair on the side of the ancestral hall, although the two old men are cultivating, they are too old after all, so they can rest more.
One of them is named Elder Su Hong, who is a ninth-order cultivator who builds the foundation, and his seniority is higher than that of Su Baili, the leader of the group, and he will preside over the clan sacrifice as an elder today, while the other is named Su Jiang, who is also the ninth order of the foundation building, and Su Hong, who guards the ancestral hall on weekdays and is also responsible for presiding over this clan sacrifice.
As bright as today, the Su family has already arrived, whether it is a side line or a descendant disciple, they are all disciples of the Su family, and now they are standing in an orderly line according to the elders and young, Su Lejing stood behind Su Tianyi, bowing his head and lowering his eyes. The ancestral hall of the Su family does not have so many rules, and the men stand in the upper left corner of the ancestral hall and stand according to their age.
And the lower left part of a few steps away is a new generation of young people, the clansmen who belong to the grandchildren, and the leader is naturally Su Lejing's eldest brother Su Tianyi. Speaking of which, the Su family can be regarded as a prosperous person, just the family's current grandchildren over the age of six, there are nearly two hundred people, standing honestly in order, and the younger ones have also been taught well by the elders in their own families, and there will be no jokes on this family sacrifice.
And the woman stood on the right side of the sect, like the man, divided into two parts, Su Ruyue is a well-deserved new generation of leading girls.
Almost seven or eight hundred people stood in this ancestral hall, silently waiting, all of them wearing solemn black robes. When the sun gradually rose and the sunlight was slightly revealed, a bell came from not far outside the ancestral hall, Honglu Bell!
The two elders, Su Jiang and Su Hong, straightened up, opened their eyes, and walked to the front of the ancestors with their heads held high, each holding a black jade long card in both hands, respectful and spirited. The ink jade plate is engraved with the word ancestral hall, and the pen of this two words is a dragon and snake, resulting in this black jade plate is not an ordinary item at first glance.
"Victor Calendar...... The new time has come, Vientiane is renewed, the people surnamed Su would like to sacrifice in front of the ancestral tablet with fruits and delicacies, incense and silk, and pay tribute to the ancestors of the Su Gong clan, and comfort the ancestors and the ancestors..... The ancestors from the middle earth, trekking through mountains and rivers, bidding farewell to their homeland, moving to this mountain city, strengthening the foundation of the village for more than 400 years, now in a prosperous era, prosperous and prosperous, the family is prosperous. The disciples of the clan are all successful in cultivation, and when they are older, they love the young, and they do not stop cultivating, and they set an outstanding example for the younger generations. The present clan has established itself in Linshan City, and no matter how old or young, there is no arrogance or arrogance, nor is there any gluttony and laziness. This is the blessing of the ancestors, the ancestors are profound, and the descendants are blessed ......"
β...... In order to follow the virtue of the ancestors, do not forget the blessing and protection of the ancestors, and feel the nurturing and teaching of the ancestors, our people often remember the kindness of the ancestors, and now the whole family of the Su family gathers together to pay tribute to the ancestors, in order to express filial piety!"
The two elders were quite old, with loud voices, and they emitted bursts of grandeur in the ancestral hall. In just a piece of sacrificial text, he told about the current situation of the Su family, and then thanked the ancestors for their blessings and so on. After the two elders finished speaking, it was the turn of the patriarch of the family, Su Baili, who was also dressed in a black robe, except for the purple gold show at the neckline, there was no difference between the clothes of other clansmen.
"I, the Su clan, have come to this Linshan City more than 400 years ago, and have developed to the current scale, which was fought down by the ancestors of our Su clan from generation to generation by relying on their own fists! Naturally, the cultivation of the middle-aged and older generations is also the top priority. No matter when, my Su family has always respected cultivation, wants family cultivation, and wants family resources? Yes, as long as you have enough talent and have made enough contributions to the family, I can promise you on behalf of the family!"
Yes, since the ancestors of the Su family came to this Linshan City, the one who is not staring at the Su family with fierce eyes, there are hungry wolves everywhere, and there are fierce tigers around him, what he can rely on is not his own pair of fists, beat the hungry wolf to death, expel the tiger, and create a great name in this Linshan City, so that it is brilliant today.
More than 400 years ago, when the ancestors of the Su family came to the mountain city, the Li and Wang families were already big families that had been operating for hundreds of years. And now those two families, the Wang family has surrendered to the majesty of the Su family, and the Li family, which has always been at odds with the Su family, has been wiped out, completely collapsed, and disappeared in Linshan City, a land that is not rich.
Su Baili said a big push, the main purpose is to let the clansmen guard against arrogance and rashness, not to be lazy and lazy to learn the behavior of such a gentleman, and to pay more attention to the practice of juniors, and never be careless. This is the future of the family, and it is the foundation of the family. In addition, there are some commercial things, Su Lejing has no intention of listening, and he is too lazy to care.
An hour later, the sky was completely bright, and Su Lejing and the other juniors were relieved, and they were not interested in such a thing, let alone want to participate in the family management. At this time, the clansmen all began to walk outside, and the second elder Su He happened to pass by Su Lejing's side, still plain, but he looked at Su Lejing with a little more guilt in his eyes, and the matter of his grandson Su Hai gave Su Lejing great trouble, because he was not a good grandfather.
Slowly stopping, Su He said in the voices of two people:
"I'm sorry about the past. Lejing, the family still needs a young disciple like you, the old man doesn't ask you to forgive the old man, nor does he expect to be able to reduce Hai'er's confinement punishment, I just hope that you can give him a chance to reform for the sake of the same clan and clan. β
Su Lejing nodded slightly, Su Hai's affairs are probably not as simple as Su He thought, Su Hai's sudden violent appearance that day, Su Lejing still remembers, but he can't accurately match the various strange heretics in his memory, but he also knows that Su Hai may be controlled by that ghost.
"Thank you, Lejing, you are a good boy. β
After saying thank you, the second elder slowly walked towards the distance, as the second elder, he arranged a lot of things after the clan sacrifice, and he needed to go to the testimony one by one. Su Lejing looked at the back of the second elder leaving, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The figure of the second elder leaving, for a moment, turned into a black monster with scarlet eyes, with sixteen slender long legs and a huge eye, staring at Su Lejing in the center of the black shadow.
It seems that things have become more complicated, Su Lejing sighed in his heart, he was just going to come back and see, why there are new questions. Sure enough, as his cultivation increased, he was able to discover more and more unusual things from his previous life. In other words, Su Lejing has more and more things to do.
Secretly said in his heart: When I return to the Jade Spirit Gate, I must check what this black shadow is. As for whether he had hallucinations, Su Lejing didn't think that how could an invincible monk of the same rank of the fifth order of the foundation building be dazzled.
In the sect hall, a slightly chubby middle-aged man was staying by Su Baili's side, smiling slightly, and there were a few important family figures around him who had not left.
"Patriarch, I plan to go to Danfang again tomorrow, as the juniors practice harder and harder, the pills are also consumed a lot. Of course, the recent progress of the young disciples is very good, and even the disciples with average talent can have the hope of cultivating to the foundation building. β
The slightly chubby middle-aged man is the elder who is in charge of the clan and the Danfang pill business, named Su Jinshui, who seems to be kind and easy to get along with, and has a set of skills for speaking for others. Although the cultivation is a little low, it is a very good talent in terms of delivery with the outside. That's why he was appointed by Su Baili and others to be in charge of the pill, and all along, this Su Jinshui has done an extremely good job.
Su Baili nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the growth of the young disciple, and said: "Haha, yes, my Su family disciple also has this day, and building the foundation is just the minimum standard, hahaha! Elder Jinshui, then you will take more money and materials this time and go to Danfang to buy pills." Remember, don't let that being an asset of Joy King discourage you. My Su family has not yet reached the point where they want to covet the assets of juniors!"
Su Jinshui nodded with a smile, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. Danfang belongs to Su Lejing, in fact, most of the elders and important people in the clan know it, if nothing else, just take the Jindan Ninth Order Li Yun's respectful attitude towards Su Lejing, and it will also be able to make this group of people guess the facts.
When Su Jinshui's figure disappeared into Sujia Village, Su Yi slowly emerged from a secret place, looked at Su Jinshui with disdain, and said to himself: "Tsk, this Elder Su Jinshui is really greedy, it seems that Su Lejing is going to be angry again." β
As he spoke, he dodged and disappeared into the place where he had just been.
Su Lejing is still with Su Tianyi and Su Ruyue, and the destination is the inn where the other members of the Green Snake Mercenary Group are located. Su Tian looked at Su Lejing with a headache, then looked at Su Ruyue, and looked up at the sky with a headache.
What the hell is going on!
"Lejing, you are still young, the place we went to this time is extremely dangerous, what does the eldest sister mean, you should stay at home and have a good party with your peers?"
Su Ruyue was a little helpless, as soon as Su Lejing's news was over today, she pestered the two of them to participate in this mission, but Su Ruyue disagreed. originally wanted to threaten by force, but Su Lejing learned to dodge inch by inch, and his speed was first-class, and Su Ruyue couldn't catch up with him. Su Lejing even threatened that if he didn't take him, he would hang behind the two of them and go secretly.
Su Tianyi was sandwiched between the two, and he didn't know what to do. Actually, this mission was very simple at the beginning. It's just why, later Su Ruyue had to say that it was dangerous, and he couldn't figure out the situation until now.
"Ruyue, you always talk about danger, what do you know, why don't you just say it. Keep going around in circles like this, I can't help you convince Lejing. β
Su Tianyi spread his hands helplessly, looking at the two of them who were still staring at each other, didn't Le Jing look very mature, how could he be as naΓ―ve as Ruyue. Su Tianyi thought like this, but set his eyes on Su Ruyue.
Su Ruyue thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "I can't say it now, but if any information is revealed, I'm afraid there will be no one in the group." Then big brother, your Green Snake Mercenary Group will be abolished, and you can only say it when you get to the place!"
Su Ruyue was a little aggrieved when she said this, but Su Tian became angry when she heard it. A little angry, he said: "Ruyue, what do you say, if the task is really difficult to that extent, I would rather give up the Green Snake Mercenary Group than let everyone die." So Ruyue, you should tell me everything you know!"
This time Su Tianyi was a little anxious, a few days ago, it was just a Su Ruyue who was simply ominous and let her younger brother be in danger and said casually, I didn't expect there to be such a secret here! Suddenly Su Ruyue was a little aggrieved, but she still snorted coldly, didn't make a sound, and didn't speak.
"Big brother, big sister is also for your good, don't be angry with big sister, besides, big sister doesn't want your years of hard work to be ruined, right, big sister!?"
As he spoke, Su Lejing winked at the eldest sister, and the eldest sister said angrily: "Hmph!"
After a while, Su Tianyi's mood calmed down, apologized to Su Ruyue, and asked Su Ruyue to tell what had happened.
The task that their Green Snake Mercenary Group received was a reconnaissance-type mission, which was mainly responsible for recording the places that needed to be explored for exploration, and the map was given to them by the Linshan City Mercenary Guild when they took over the task.
The mercenary guild has mercenaries stranded all year round, and some of them are purely here to hand over tasks. When she left the mercenary union, Su Ruyue noticed that when a group of them took over this seemingly simple exploration task, the other mercenary group members present all had strange expressions in their eyes, and their eyes looked like mockery, pity, and pity.
Su Ruyue secretly wrote down these people, and when the Green Snake Mercenary Group was looking for a place to live, she secretly found these people and found out the truth about this mission from their mouths. Of course, it is the threat of force.
This mission is indeed a scouting mission, undoubtedly issued more than a month ago by the people of the Mercenary Guild. It's just that there have been several waves of foundation-building teams like them who have gone missing from the exploration site after taking over the task, and none of them have returned. However, the mercenary guild did not modify the difficulty of this task, it was still the easiest difficulty, which made many teams fooled.
Therefore, as long as these mercenaries see a mercenary group taking over this task, they know that this group of people will definitely die after they go, and the problem is solved. Including the enthusiastic service attitude of the mercenary union members in Linshan City when they took over the task.
"So, based on my recent secret investigation of those dead mercenary groups, I deduce that even if our Green Snake mercenary group goes to the place, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky. Monk Zhuji, we have already folded into a lot, and we may have to act when the opportunity comes. As for giving up this exploration mission, I don't think you'll be able to do it, big brother. β
Su Tian looked embarrassed, if it was really so dangerous, he would rather pay more money to the mercenary union than put the mercenary group to death. Just when Su Tianyi was struggling, Su Lejing smiled and said:
"Big brother, I don't think you have to be too pessimistic, just let the little brother and I accompany you on a trip, I believe in the strength of the little brother. Moreover, before I went home, I heard that an extremely good treasure was lost near Linshan City, and according to what the eldest sister said, I felt that the treasure was doing something wrong, and besides, I had a way for the sect elder professor to subdue it. β
Looking at Su Lejing's confident appearance, Su Tianyi and Su Ruyue were stunned. Is there such a coincidence in this world?
