Chapter 18: The Stirring Stick
"Yes. Woody replied quickly and calmly, without hesitation.
A gleam flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.
Then, the man beside him walked out, without a pause, straight in Woody's direction.
In the middle of the way, a bright light rose in the man's hand, and a short knife appeared in the man's hand.
Woody still kept his head down, still looking intently at his toes, as if the murderous aura and short knife on the man's body were not at all because of him.
The man finally walked in front of Woody, and the short knife in his hand was slowly raised, aiming it at Woody's heart.
The figure of the fourth elder appeared in front of Woody, the light flashed in his hand, and a long sword also appeared in his hand, staring at the man with burning eyes, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"You can't. The man spoke, and his voice still did not have any intonation and frustration, but at this time, this "calm" voice undoubtedly became a sneering and smoking fuse, and at the other end of this fuse was a quiet explosive bag.
"I want to try. The corners of the four elders' mouths opened, and the long sword in his hand tightened, and it was slowly raised, aiming straight at the man's throat, just like the short knife in the man's hand.
"Fourth, don't you know about the door cut?" the Great Elder's voice sounded.
"Yes. The fourth elder replied, then pulled a chair beside him and sat in, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, squinting at the same big elder sitting in the chair opposite.
"Know?"
"Yes. ”
The Great Elder stopped talking, but his eyes kept wandering on the body of the Four Elders, and Woody, who was standing quietly behind the Four Elders.
A moment later, the Great Elder's voice suddenly sounded, but instead of speaking, he was laughing.
The Great Elder's laughter was not loud, even very quiet, but when this laughter sounded, the faces of the four elders changed from their usual calmness, and the tense faces and frowning brows in an instant formed the four elders' unusually twisted facial features, and there was also a touch of vigilance in their eyes, which was staring closely at the face of the Great Elder.
The laughter quickly dissipated, and the lobby was quiet again.
It was quiet and awkward, but none of the four of them made any moves, as if this embarrassment was an atmosphere that everyone enjoyed.
After a brief silence, the Great Elder's voice rang out again.
"Let's go. ”
The Grand Elder stood up and walked towards the door.
The short knife in the man's hand was also lowered, and he walked around Woody and reached for the closed wooden door of the lobby.
The figure of the Great Elder quickly approached the side of the Fourth Elder.
Stopped, the palm of his hand was raised, and the palm of the Great Elder fell on the hard shoulder of the Fourth Elder, and after squeezing it a little harder, the Great Elder's voice sounded: "I believe, you." ”
In a word, it's simple. But the meaning was very obvious, he only believed in the four elders.
As for what to believe, everyone knows it.
The matter of cutting the door is no longer a "secret" in the underworld, so there is more or less some understanding between the various sects, although the understanding is only a superficial point, but it is enough to analyze some things.
Because of the relationship between Chop Gate and Dragon City, because of the relationship between Dragon City and me.
The lobby was finally quiet and empty.
At night, there were three figures in the Great Elder's study.
The Great Elder and the Man, and the Four Elders.
"Fourth, I don't believe in Woody. "The Great Elder said, very direct, very clear.
"I know, after all, he's the one who cuts the door. The four elders said, stretching their waists, without the slightest nervous look between the day.
"I need an explanation. ”
"He used to be the one who cut the door. ”
"This explanation is insufficient. ”
"You should know what happened when I met him, right?" said the fourth elder, turning the teacup in his hand, his eyes calm.
"Yes. ”
"But do you know how he saved me?"
The Great Elder's body sat slightly straighter, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and the meaning was obvious: You continue.
The four elders let out a long sigh, and then their voices sounded, as if they were telling a story.
The story of the Four Elders was very simple, and even when it came out of his mouth, it was not interesting at all.
"So, I believe in Little Five. The four elders spread their hands and shrugged their shoulders. Trade Winds Literature Network
"Are you sure he's just here to save you?" the Great Elder asked, frowning. Everyone knows that the four elders were attacked and almost lost their lives, but they didn't know that there were so many twists and turns and bizarre stories in it, so even the great elders, who had always been calm as usual, were a little bit interested at this time.
"At the time, he didn't know me at all. The four elders said.
"Are you sure?"
"I was only in the Seventh Soul Realm at that time, and with my identity and status, I was ...... in the Underworld" The Fourth Elder looked at the Great Elder, and the meaning was obvious.
The status of the sevenfold soul realm is in the underworld, and it really doesn't have any popularity.
The Great Elder nodded, then stretched out his hand and motioned for the Fourth Elder to continue.
"Why did he help you?"
"He has no money, he needs to live. And I, although my strength is not good, but I definitely do not lack money. ”
"No money, alive?" the Great Elder's voice raised a little, and it was obvious that these two questions made him a little incomprehensible. After all, as an elder in a sect like the Seven Killing Sword Sect, and also a great elder in charge of the Junior Elders' Academy, he had almost a lot of things to think about on weekdays, but there would definitely be no problems of having no money and being alive.
"Yes. The Fourth Elder said, and then he was silent, looking at the Great Elder quietly, waiting for the Great Elder's reaction.
"Well, I'm really wrong. ”
"Don't worry, big brother, I won't joke with my own life, especially ...... This kind of thing. The Fourth Elder stood up, and then pointed his fingers back and forth between the Great Elder and himself a few times.
"Fourth, how long has it been since you had been drinking?" the Great Elder said suddenly.
"You're too busy. ”
"It's too busy. The Great Elder said, pausing slightly, and continued, "Go back, be careful." The Great Elder waved his hand at the Fourth Elder, the meaning of driving away was obvious, but there was a smile on his face.
"You should be careful. The four elders nodded and stood up, but the figure that was about to leave stopped, and looked back in the direction of the Great Elder.
"Do you have something to say about this?" the Great Elder stood up and said, his waist straight, and he didn't look old at all.
"Big brother, we brothers have been in this elder's house for hundreds of years, don't you want to change places?" The four elders pouted and looked at the Great Elder's study, and the meaning of disgust was very obvious.
"You're looking for death!" the Great Elder's voice came from between his teeth.
"I'm not the one looking for death. ”
"Huh?"
"I think I'm more suitable for the position of Third Elder or Second Elder. The four elders said, turning around and walking towards the door.
"Be careful. The voice of the Great Elder sounded behind the Fourth Elder, just a reminder, and there was no intention of stopping it.
"Don't worry. The four elders waved their hands and didn't look back.
In the Seven Killing Sword Sect, the dark tide is surging, and it is not among the Genting Family.
Originally, this kind of sect was a small society, whether it was between sects or families, it was the same. Everyone is piled together, and the purpose is the same, they are all those positions that are high up. After all, no one wants to be a person under the fence for the rest of their lives, listening to other people's shouts and shouting every day. The best way to avoid this is to sit on the top of the other people and press the heavy stool under your butt against the shoulders of the others.
And I am undoubtedly the stick that "stands up to the sky" in this turbulent undercurrent, commonly known as:-stirring stick.
The lobby of the Genting family is almost the same drama as the Seven Killing Sword Sect, but their target is the Seven Killing Sword Sect.
"I received news that our family's technique has appeared in the Seven Killing Sword Sect: Gun Forest. ”
"I've also found some news here, the gold that suddenly appeared within the four cities of the Seven Killing Sword Sect is the gold we lost. ”
"Moreover, we also got some news, it seems that our Gongfa Gun Forest and the lost gold have all appeared in the hands of the disciples of the Seven Killing Sword Sect. The voice stopped, and his eyes looked at the person who had spoken before, and the meaning of provocation was extremely obvious.
"Do you believe this kind of thing?" A sneer broke out at the corner of the mouth of the person who spoke before, and his eyes glanced at the person who spoke, and there were two words clearly written in his eyes: idiot.
The council hall began to become noisy, and everyone was divided into three distinct aspects, two sides were fighting red, like two fighting cocks thrown into a circle, and another side was leaning on the golden chair with his shoulders crossed, with a gloating expression on his face, and his eyes were constantly communicating with each other, looking at the "two fighting cocks" with a playful look.
Ten days later, we returned to Qianmen.
And after we left, the Genting Family and the Seven Killing Sword Sect had simply become a mess of porridge. Although our strength is low, it is unlikely that we will do anything earth-shattering, but it is because of our low-end strength that we have not received the attention of the Seven Killing Sword Sect and the Yunding Family at all, and this makes it more convenient for us to do things.
So, there is the current situation.
Everyone in the Seven Killing Sword Sect's Junior Elders' House frowned, and even the seats that had never had any vacancies were now empty.
And the so-called leaders of the younger generation of the Genting family are also anxious, and even when they look at the people in the clan, their eyes are full of anger.
"You ...... Is...... It's really ......" Everyone just chose a random place to sit down, and the owner of the door, Lao Wang, couldn't wait to look at me, but after just starting, what he wanted to say had become incoherent.
In fact, Lao Wang cannot be blamed for the emergence of this situation.
After all......
I looked at the crowd around me, and they were smiling.
