Chapter XXVII
As soon as Laiwang returned, he called a meeting of the elders to discuss this sudden incident. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Elder Huo was furious when he heard this, and said: "I just said not to engage in any development, our Hundred Flowers Valley has survived for thousands of years, and it is all under the protection of the gods. ”
Elder Water is the one whose seniority is second only to Elder Fire, but as their name suggests, the two have always been incompatible with Fire and Water. He has always been unable to see the old man of the fire leaning on the old man in front of him, so he said without yin or yang: "Elder Huo, you put out the fire first, in fact, the situation is not so serious, maybe it was just an accident." Didn't Elder Feng say that that person would be punished because he offended the Butterfly God. ”
Elder Fire snorted coldly: "As long as anyone betrays the Hundred Flowers Valley, everyone will be punished, you just wait and see." ”
Lai Wang said: "Elder Huo, I know you have a lot of opinions about me, but now we will talk about things, you are the most respected old man in our clan, and I have always respected you for being honest and outspoken. Now I just want to know if the legend that Elder Wind said is true. ”
Elder Fire said, "Yes, this clan does have such a legend. However, if you look into it, it may be much more terrifying than what he says. ”
Elder Feng said, "Since this is the case, there are no outsiders here, and there is nothing that Elder Fire can't say clearly." ”
Elder Fire sighed and said, "What a sin! It is said that this place was not a peaceful place in ancient times, but because the aura of the sun and the moon gathered in the mountains, monsters were rampant and demons were numerous. The people were miserable, most of them died, and those who fled for their lives. But there is a brave group that has never been willing to leave this homeland. Later, a priest appeared in the tribe, and she touched the god Yu with her sincerity. The god of Yu finally took action to exterminate these ghosts and ghosts, and finally descended on Xiyang to seal these scourges underground.
Lai Wang said: "Isn't Xiyang the sacred object that Dayu's father, Kun, stole from the Emperor of Heaven and used to control the water?" ”
Elder Huo said: "This is not very clear, anyway, the flowers and plants now grow on this soil, which is why it is so spectacular and endless. ”
After Elder Fire finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, it turned out that there was such a mysterious legend here.
Lai Wang suddenly thought of a question and asked, "In this way, Yu Le's tragic death must be related to those strange beasts that were sealed." ”
Elder Huo was just about to speak, when suddenly a person walked in from outside and said, "Yes, this is what we are most worried about!" ”
It is the priest Bai Ling who speaks, followed by Fluttershy and Xue'e. It turned out that after Bai Ling listened to Xue'e's report, she couldn't sit still anymore, and the urgency of the situation forced her to break into the Council of Elders.
"I know that as a priest, I shouldn't interfere with the elders' decisions, but as Elder Fire said, this matter is beyond the realm of human beings and has something to do with God."
Lai Wang said: "Lord Priest is so sure? Is there already any evidence. After all, what Elder Fire said was just a legend, not necessarily the truth of the matter. ”
Bai Ling sneered: "I have always been cautious in doing things, and I will never act rashly if I am not sure. Although I pray at the temple these days, the gods have already given me enough revelation. ”
Elder Shui disagreed, and said, "The priest is the only person who can communicate with God, of course, he can say anything. ”
Bai Ling heard the meaning of disbelief in his words, so he said, "Could it be that Elder Shui doesn't believe in God? ”
Elder Shui clenched his fists and said, "The old man doesn't dare!" ”
Bai Ling said: "I know that some people are now deceived by the outside world, thinking that money is omnipotent, and no longer believe in our omnipotent God. However, the current development of events has made us feel the insignificance of human beings. So....... ”
At this time, Elder Feng sneered, "So, it seems that the time for the priest to pray in the temple is still not enough!" ”
Bai Ling said angrily: "Bastard! Elder Feng, if you speak out again, beware of God's damnation. ”
Elder Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I've been walking the mountain road for a day, and I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'll leave first." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Bai Ling held back his anger and said, "Everyone, for the survival of the Jade Dragon Clan and the future of the Hundred Flowers Valley, as a priest, I hope that everyone can immediately reach an agreement to suspend any development activities that destroy the original appearance, and the whole clan will burn incense and pray, and return to the embrace of God, only in this way can the evil spirits be suppressed and reborn." ”
Seeing that they didn't react, Bai Ling got up and said, "Everyone, I've finished what I should say, you can do it yourself." ”
After Bai Ling left, Elder Fire and Elder Shui, who were old sect leaders, also followed. Only Lai Wang, Elder Jin, Elder Lei, and the youngest Elder Mu were left in the council hall.
In addition to the Jade Dragon Clan, where the position of patriarch is generally nominated by the previous patriarch and approved by the Council of Elders, the position of elder is generally hereditary. So, the position of growing up is generally related to age and the year of becoming an elder. If you talk about seniority, Elder Fire and Elder Water are ranked one or two, and Elder Feng and Elder Jin are down, while Elder Mu and Elder Lei have not been in the position for a long time, and they are basically just decorations in the Council of Elders, and they don't say much.
As far as Laiwang is concerned, the younger the elder is, the closer he gets, while the more senior elders generally don't take the young patriarch seriously. Now that the three elders were gone, Lai Wang was relieved and could speak freely.
Among the remaining three elders, Elder Jin was slightly older than Laiwang, probably in his early thirties, and the other two said that they were elders, but they were actually younger than Laiwang. Elder Lei's father died early due to illness, and Elder Mu's father was paralyzed in bed, so they inherited the title at a young age.
Among these three, Laiwang has absolute authority, which is why he was able to pass the Baihua Valley development bill at the elders' meeting in the first place. However, there are pros and cons to everything, although the two elders Lei and Mu are obedient, they don't have any ideas, let them run errands, raise their hands, and only Elder Jin is the wise man who can really rely on him.
Lai Wang said: "What do you think of this situation now? ”
This time, it was Elder Mu Fengchun who spoke first, and he said contemptuously: "Patriarch, I think they are alarmist. There are no demons in today's world, demons, this must be the conspiracy of Bai Ling and the old man Huo. ”
He lowered his voice and said, "I think, maybe they found someone to do it." They've been sneaky lately, and Bai Ling and Old Man Fire are buying people's hearts everywhere, ready to fight us. As soon as that collector dies, there will definitely be a rift in the relationship between Boss Qian and us. In this way, the project could not be started, and their wish was fulfilled. ”
Laiwang didn't say anything, although it was ugly, but if you think about it, it doesn't make any sense.
Elder Lei Ming waved his hand and said, "Brother Lei's words are a bit excessive. Although I think that the White Priest and the Fire Elder are a bit authoritarian and rigid, it is impossible to do such a thing as murder. In my opinion, it may have been an accident, and Mr. Yu must have been attacked by some animal. This animal feeds on blood and internal organs, but we also have to remind our people to be careful when moving around the valley in the future. We also need to organize people to find out the whereabouts of this fierce beast in order to get rid of future troubles. ”
Lai Wang nodded slightly, he also favored this opinion. Finally, he looked at Elder Jin Buyi, who was usually the last to speak.
He thought for a moment and said, "All of you here are my own brothers, so I have nothing to say." If you make a mistake, don't be surprised by the patriarch. ”
