Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gifts and Exchanges
The Yang family, the first family on the heterogeneous side of the Huaxia Alliance, is also the founder of the official organization "Heavenly Court". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It may sound gorgeous, but in fact, this so-called 'first family' is so few that even most ordinary families are inferior. If you only count the bloodline, there are only nine people in the entire Yang family now.
Patriarch Yang Zhen, a sage of the ranks, head of the headquarters of the Heavenly Court, has three sons.
The eldest son, Yang He, showed a talent far beyond his peers when he was a child, and when he grew up, he lived up to expectations, and was promoted to the saint at the age of eighteen, but he remained unknown for several years after that, and disappeared after giving birth to a daughter.
The second son, Yang Chong, is not inferior to his brother in natural ability, and has a calm personality and delicate mind, and has always been recognized as the next head of the Yang family, but this high-profile talent was planted on a fox demon at the age of twenty, and then was expelled from the house by the angry Yang Zhen.
Yang Yun, the youngest son, although he is inferior to his two brothers in talent, is definitely a talent, and he has grown up in the shadow of two genius brothers since he was born, he has behaved extremely hard since he was a child, and he also stepped into the holy realm at the age of twenty-six.
After listening to the white-haired girl's narration, Su Mu basically understood the situation, he looked at the branch elder who was drinking tea with an expressionless face, this should be the second son planted on the fox demon, right?
And the girl herself is the daughter of the eldest son who disappeared, so the question is, this cheap cousin came here this time to recognize her relatives?
As if seeing Su Mu's doubts, the girl smiled and said, "Grandpa went into retreat two years ago to prepare for the attack on the pseudo-gods, and the third uncle has been in charge of guarding the 'World Stone', so the affairs of the organization have fallen on my head, and the only person I can discuss with is the second uncle." ”
"Are all the people in power in the organization related to each other?" Su Mu asked half-jokingly.
However, the girl really nodded: "Yes, the top decision-maker must be someone from the Yang family." ”
Su Mu: "......"
"Don't have this expression, this is not a hereditary system, but only the people of the Yang family can be trusted." The girl gave Su Mu a blank look.
"Trusted?" Su Mu was stunned, a little incomprehensible.
The girl smiled and asked, "What do you think of Heavenly Court's strength?" ”
Su Mu pondered for a while, unable to understand why the other party suddenly asked this, but he still replied truthfully: "As far as the power I see now is concerned, although it is a bit exaggerated to say that ruling the whole world, there is no problem at all in claiming to be the king and hegemon......
Speaking of this, Su Mu also reacted, and he asked with a surprised face, "Are you worried about hegemony?" ”
"My cousin's brain is really good." The girl smiled approvingly, and then nodded: "It is because of this power, in order to avoid being overly jealous, we will be divided into four branches to work separately, but even so, we can't completely reassure others." Therefore, it was later stipulated that the ruler of Heavenly Court could only be the Yang family, who would never seize power and dominate. ”
"Then why wouldn't the Yang family?" The girl smiled and looked at Su Mu: "You must want to ask this now, right?" ”
"......" Su Mu nodded.
"The reason is actually very simple, because this is the ancestral teaching, and the descendants can only assist in the power and government and must not interfere."
“…… Just because of Zu Xun? ”
"Well, this ancestral precept comes from a contract."
The girl sighed and said: "In ancient times when monsters were rampant, the Yang family used to be one of the six most powerful families on the human side, but strength also represents responsibility, and the consequence of fighting with monsters all the time is decline. However, just when the Yang family was about to die, the power that represented the crystallization of human wisdom was created. ”
"Spiritual power?"
"Not bad." The girl nodded, then glanced at Ji Hongsha, who was listening to her with interest not far away, and continued: "Although this power combines the power of several generations of six big families, the real creator is just a powerless woman. And when this woman handed over the cultivation method of this power to the six families, she put forward a condition, that is, it was not allowed to use this power above mortals to rule over mortals. ”
After speaking, the girl suddenly looked at Ji Hongsha: "What do you think about this?" ”
Ji Hongsha smiled lightly: "I don't have any opinion, because this is a matter of course." At that time, spiritual power only represented violence, and its role was to allow humans to survive the brutality of youkai, rather than to use it to drive away youkai and then use it to oppress humans. ”
"You knew it was going to be like this, didn't you?" The girl sneered and asked, "Of the six families that have laid a foundation for mankind, now only the Yang family is left, have you ever blamed yourself?" ”
Hearing this, Su Mu's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Ji Hongsha incredulously.
And Ji Hongsha also glanced at Su Mu with a smile, and then smiled at the girl and said, "No, because they are to blame." Power does not mean talent, and the ruler exists to make the people of the lower classes live better, not to use violence to gain benefits from them, so even if I do it all over again, I will still make them sign that contract. ”
“…… You're really unreasonable. The girl sighed, and then continued to Su Mu with some tiredness: "More than thirty years ago, an ancestor of the Yang family was unable to resist the temptation of power and began to regent, but in just a few years, the thriving Yang family was left with only the grandfather, and even the grandfather was the missing of the three sons, and the remaining third child only gave birth to two daughters. ”
It's all Ji Hongsha's fault, what do you want to say? Su Mu sneered.
Seeing that Su Mu did not show the slightest empathy, the girl sighed in disappointment, and then said with a smile: "The contradiction between the Yang family and the monster is irreconcilable, so grandpa will not forgive Uncle Su, but you are different, you are not only a pure human being, but also the only male of the Yang family's generation, I want you to return, what do you think." ”
The sudden invitation of "......" made Su Mu slightly stunned, but immediately shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to change my current identity." And even if I return, it won't be long before I'll be following my father's old path. ”
"What?" The girl's face was unclear.
Su Mu took a sip of the hot tea that Su Chong had just filled for him, and said lightly: "In a few years, I will also marry a monster." ”
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Two abrupt voices sounded in a row, but Su Mu looked at his father who was choking on tea, and Ji Hongsha who fell from the chair.
Compared with the two who lost their temper, the girl was silent, she stared at Su Mu calmly, and only after a long time did she lose her laughter: "Sure enough, there is a father, there must be a son." ”
"Thanks for the compliment."
"That's the end of the topic, let's get down to business." The girl sorted out her emotions and said with a smile.
"Business?"
"Well, the preparation for the 'eclipse' has been completed, and it's almost time for the 'exchange of courtesies'......"
