Chapter 41: The Meeting of the Temple

When Fluttershy falls into the water, the priest Bai Ling is praying in the temple for blessings, and she suddenly feels a pain in her heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Sure enough, it didn't take long for Elder Lei to appear in front of her with a guilty look.

When Ah Bian came back just now to report the appearance of the devil's messenger, she had a sense of foreboding.

Her first instinct is to ask Ah Bian to rush back with the exorcism artifact from the clan, and what she is really worried about is Fluttershy.

After listening to Elder Lei's shocked narration, although Bai Ling had his usual composure, he also sat down weakly.

God, Fluttershy don't have anything to do!

By chance, she adopts Fluttershy and Mei'e, and when she sees the Wisdom in them, she decides to choose a successor between them.

Originally, it was only the priest's duty to choose the saints, but as time passed, she slowly discovered that she could no longer do without the two of them.

Even if Mei'e often causes trouble for her, she is also strict and soft-hearted, although every time she raises the stick high, she always puts it down gently, but Mei'e never feels her hard work, but instead has a rebellious mentality, and she does it by herself everywhere. It broke her heart.

In Fluttershy, she sees her own shadow. This thin girl, although she doesn't say much, has perseverance and courage that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, even if she bears the grievances silently, she never complains, and she really has a bodhisattva heart that sacrifices her life for righteousness.

As a result, White Spirit, though she is always strict with Fluttershy, is unable to stop her endless love, which is why she comes to the temple twice a day to pray for her, but something happens.

She didn't get angry with Lei Ming, after all, he was only the assistant to the patriarch, and the responsibility should be borne by the person at the helm. She didn't show any sadness in front of the thunder, the priest had already sacrificed himself to the gods, and he shouldn't grieve for mortals.

But those who offend God's wrath must be punished severely!

So, she said in a light but irresistible tone: "Elder Lei, I am now asking the patriarch and all the elders to go to the temple to discuss matters in the name of the priest of the divine envoy, you can go quickly." ”

Lei Ming's heart sank, and the meeting in the temple was the highest level in the clan. Not only does it mean that the participants are all at the top of the clan, but that God can hear everything that everyone says. If it weren't for the fact that there was a matter of life and death, the priest would never have convened such a meeting.

Lei Ming didn't dare to slack off, and quickly brought the news to all the elders, and all the elders also felt that the matter was urgent, and they all rushed to the temple as quickly as possible.

However, only five of the six elders came.

Because Elder Feng suddenly had an accident last night.

In the morning, when the servant called the elders up for breakfast, he found that there was no response after several calls. According to Elder Feng's custom, he always got up early, and even if he was sick, he would use the rattle in the house to inform the servants.

But on this day, the elder did not get up or ring the bell.

Because Elder Feng did not marry and had no heirs, in the end, the servant knocked open the door only to find the elder lying motionless on the bed, although his eyes were open, his mouth was crooked, and there was a foul smell on his body.

After the doctor's diagnosis, the elder had suffered a stroke suddenly. This made everyone very strange, Elder Feng was usually in good health, how could he suddenly have a stroke?

Everyone remembered that the day before, Elder Feng and Bai Ling had an argument, could it really be the punishment of the gods?

Because Elder Feng couldn't speak, no one knew what he had been through.

Elder Feng has no heirs, so there is no heir for the time being, and the position of elder has to be vacant, and a suitable person will be elected to the top later.

After Bai Ling saw Lai Wang and the other five elders arriving, the first thing he said made everyone stunned: "I now, in the name of the divine envoy, I have decided to remove Lai Wang's patriarch from his position, and investigate him for the crime of leading wolves into the house and bringing endless disasters to my clan!" ”

What's even more unexpected is that after listening to her words, Laiwang did not resist at all, but chose to remain silent.

Now, there was only sadness on his face. On the one hand, it is because of the strong backing that has always supported him, Elder Wind, who suddenly suffered a stroke, and on the other hand, because he has just learned that Fluttershy's life and death are uncertain at this time. He and Bai Lingming have been fighting in secret for many years, but in the end, he let his most beloved suffer from this, is this retribution?

He began to reflect on what he had done over the years, although the starting point was no problem, but there were many factions within the clan and infighting. He always thought that the old guys, led by white-collar workers, were always eating the old and not thinking about innovation. But now he realized that what he was trying to change was not the power structure within the Jade Dragon Clan, but the beliefs of thousands of years, how could this be easily moved?

Now Bai Ling wants to take away his power, which would have been absolutely impossible a day ago, or even two hours ago!

Without the power of the patriarch, his years of hard work, his dreams, and his lover have become the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, and they want to take away his power, unless...... Kill him!

But now, he felt a sense of relief, and his creed was shaken......

Laiwang's silence also surprised Bai Ling, in fact, strictly speaking, it was not in compliance with the law for her to do so. The priest did have the power to depose the patriarch, but only on the condition that the patriarch was convicted of collaborating with the clan or if more than half of the elders agreed.

In other words, Laiwang is not guilty of this at the moment, and if more than half of the elders disagree, the situation will become quite troublesome, and even a civil war will brew that will affect the entire clan!

And Bai Ling also knows that silence is definitely not Laiwang's character, could silence be the prelude to the storm?

Bai Ling was wrong, and after the silence was surrender!

Lai Wang said: "I accept the decision of the priest, and at the same time I am willing to take responsibility for all the events that are happening now, but I have one condition. After speaking, he set his eyes on Bai Ling.

Bai Ling didn't expect to defeat the opponent without bloodshed, she nodded and said, "Say it." ”

Lai Wang looked at everyone again and said, "Please give me another chance, I hope that after rescuing the Holy Maiden, I will plead with everyone." After all, the incident started because of me, and I had to find a way to make up for some of my own guilt. ”

At this time, Elder Shui also spoke, and said, "The old man thinks that although the patriarch is responsible for this matter, the old man and several elders are also responsible. The patriarch's decision is through the Council of Elders, and if he alone bears it, it can't be justified, so I don't think it's better to let the patriarch temporarily take over the position, and when the Holy Maiden is rescued, we will discuss it after cleaning up the mess. ”

Bai Ling saw that Lai Wang had sadness in his eyes, not like a delaying tactic used to counterattack. And Elder Shui has been against himself for many years, and today's words also have the meaning of softness. Now is the time of the great enemy, and if the punishment is too severe, not only will it not help, but it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So, Bai Ling nodded and said, "Since the patriarch has remorse and Elder Shui's words have some truth, let's put aside our past grievances and discuss how to save Fluttershy first." ”
