Chapter 5: The Identity of the Sixteen Elders

Jiang Yi almost wailed and fled, leaving a long trail of blood wherever he ran. I stretched out my hand to the person next to me unhurriedly and said, "Please give me the bag, I'm going to stir-fry the food." ”

"Mr. Jiang Cheng, you are too impulsive...... the man who reminded me before gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I just say it?" Then Jiang Yi suddenly came to trouble you, and he must have been instructed by someone. This is terrible, the Jiang family is the most taboo about infighting, once the children of the Jiang family fight. Whether it is a child of a side branch or a direct line, they will be punished with horror. ”

I put the meat on my back and sneered: "I will never take the initiative to cause trouble, but if anyone comes to provoke me, then I can only accompany me." If you blindly tolerate it, I'm afraid it will bring more and more trouble to yourself, so it's better to go straight down and see who wants to deal with me and why. ”

The girl who admired me sighed and said, "Mr. Jiang Cheng, the Jiang family is really not as simple as you think. Forget it, if the law enforcement elder asks about it, I will help you testify. Anyway, I felt disgusted when I saw that Jiang Yi. ”

"Me too, I hate Jiang Yi so much."

"It's just that Mr. Jiang Cheng didn't cut off his head with a knife just now."

People were saying they wanted to help me, and I nodded gratefully, now that someone was willing to help me. That's the best thing to do.

I endured the torture of three hundred and twenty catties of pork and continued to move forward, and after walking for more than twenty minutes, the girl next to me finally pointed ahead and said, "Mr. Jiang Cheng, look, this is a stir-fry point." ”

I looked at the stir-fry in confusion, and then I was dumbfounded. I saw that it was a deep pit with fire in the sky, where could it be regarded as a stir-fry room. I walked to the fire pit and looked down, only to see that this deep pit was more than 20 meters wide, and it was a sea of fire below, and there were many figures walking around in it, which was very chic, but it was also terrifying.

At this time, the girl shouted to the below: "Vegetable cutter Jiang Cheng, send three hundred and twenty catties of zombie wild boar!" ”

After that, the girl squeezed her eyes at me and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang Cheng, you can just throw the pork down." ”

"Huh? Well. ”

I hurriedly pushed the pork down the fire pit, and I don't know what happened next, I could only see the pork being engulfed in endless flames.

I swallowed my saliva and whispered, "The Jiang family is cultivating all the time, so don't they have some easy work?" ”

"Of course, there are still ......," the girl said with a smile, "Let's just say that the Jiang family's easiest job is a construction worker, what they have to do is really just do construction, after all, this is about the house where everyone lives, and they really can't cultivate much." The work of these people. Every day, I had to take an axe to the mountains and cut down trees, and then carry the trees back to make a house. ”

This...... It's still hard.

I wondered: "I heard that the Jiang family is now mainly engaged in business, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, as long as you make more money." Why are you still cultivating so hard? ”

"For the glory of the Jiang family...... a man said seriously, "Mr. Jiang Cheng, you don't know something, as the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Since our Jiang family is a hidden Taoist family, it is natural to show strength, although we don't care about the world on weekdays, but there are actually some disputes. If the strength is not enough, I am afraid that it will accumulate over the years. They will all be taken away by others. To tell the truth, the Jiang family encounters hundreds of thieves every year, and even some Taoist priests who don't know the height of the sky will kill members of the Jiang family to seize Taoist secrets. ”

This...... It really makes sense.

After all, I am also a person who has seen the world, and I know that this man is not joking, because even if it is me, it is likely to be the kind of person who kills people and robs treasures.

"Jiang Cheng!"

At that moment, there was a sudden shout of anger behind us. I turned my head and saw several men in Taoist robes standing behind us. They looked at me solemnly, and one of them said, "Jiang Cheng, you just joined the Jiang family and made trouble, and now the family law hall is looking for you." ”

I shrugged my shoulders, sure enough, what should come is always coming. The young men really didn't say anything to me, and they immediately said that they wanted to go with me and explain the matter clearly.

I followed them around the huge Jiang house and walked to a big wooden house. This wooden house is a bit similar to the yamen in ancient times, with a drum on the outside, and a tiger head side, a dog head side and a dragon head side inside.

The girl whispered in my ear: "Mr. Jiang Cheng, the Family Law Hall has the power of life and death. The side of the dog's head is used to cut off the side children, the tiger head side is used to cut the direct children, and the dragon head side is used to cut off the head of the family, the elders, and the young head of the family. For the sake of fairness, there will always be five deacons in the Family Law Hall. Moreover, when the five deacons take office, they must make a life oath, only consider the Jiang family, and there will be no partiality. The Jiang family has been able to stand tall for so many years, and it is inseparable from the family law hall. ”

I nodded, and then entered the Family Law Hall. After entering, I saw Jiang Yi kneeling on the ground, his mouth still bleeding. At this time, a white-haired old man walked up to the hall. The children of the Taoist robes really stood like the soldiers of the yamen.

"Jiang Cheng, kneel." The white-haired old man said.

I shook my head and said, "Give me a reason to kneel." ”

The white-haired old man paused for a moment, and then said, "I am not a living person, but a ghost of two hundred years. You kneel, I don't miss my rank. ”

Two hundred years of ghosts?

Looking at the appearance of this old man, he should have lived for more than eighty years before, that is, more than two hundred and eighty years old. That generation is counted as twenty years old, and that is in terms of generation. Isn't it the wife and wife I am equivalent to...... Fourteen grandfathers?

I knelt down willingly and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Cheng is not wrong. ”

"How is it okay?" The white-haired old man asked.

I told me everything I had done, and the people around me kept helping me. After the white-haired old man heard this, he looked at Jiang Yi and asked, "Jiang Yi, what do you have to say?" ”

Jiang Yi held his mouth with his hand and said seriously: "I know I have a mistake, but Jiang Cheng is too much. It's all the Jiang family, and if he wants to do it, forget it. What does it mean to draw a knife? Please also ask the law enforcement elder Mingjian to give me justice. ”

The white-haired old man sat at the table and thought quietly, and after a long time, he said softly, "Makes sense. Jiang Cheng is all his own family, if he wants to make trouble, he doesn't need to draw a knife. But the mind is when you first arrive. I don't know anything about the Jiang family, and it was Jiang Yi who provoked it first, so I can be light. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and you will be punished for a month as the boy of the sixteen elders. Since you are the champion of the Great War of Ten Thousand Sects, you have to go to the Ghost Talent Tower to get the treasure these days, and you can wait until you get the treasure. Are you convinced? ”

I nodded, "Yes." ”

Jiang Yi glared at me viciously, as if he was a little unwilling, but in the end he could only say, "I obey." ”

The Law Enforcement Elder nodded, and he smiled, "Since that's the case. Then let's go back. ”

We all bowed to the white-haired old man, and then he turned and left, as if he had no time to waste here.

I still remember the sixteenth elder, it was the very beautiful barefoot man in linen before. Wait for the white-haired old man to leave. The girl stomped her foot and sighed, "Although the law enforcement elder judges from an objective aspect, I think it's really unfair to Brother Cheng. ”

"What's unfair...... I said with a smile, "isn't it just to be a boy, and it won't be hard work, at most help to grab some medicinal materials for alchemy, or clean the room." And it is said that being a boy can learn a lot of things, which is good. ”

A man said helplessly: "But that's the boy of the Sixteenth Elder, Brother Cheng, you still don't know what the Sixteenth Elder does, right?" ”

I paused for a moment, and I really didn't know what the Sixteenth Elder was doing. The girl said with pity: "The sixteenth elder has no position in the world, but because of his handsome appearance, he occasionally takes a few model photos for our company outside. But his own occupation in the Jiang family is a dung picker! ”

What!?

I stared at the girl in front of me dumbfoundedly, my eyes widened in disbelief.

The stunningly beautiful Sixteen Elders...... It turned out to be a manure picker!?
