Chapter 65: The Mist
The sound of the ringing beads alarmed the entire clan, and soon some people rushed here, shocked by the sight in front of them.
"What's going on?"
"Why is Po Yu like this?"
The crowd whispered, unclear what was going on.
At this time, the patriarch came along the narrow road of the hills, and everything in front of him made him stunned, "What is this for?"
Without waiting for Yu Po to answer, Tian Nongyan hurriedly said: "I heard that Yu Po was going to give Xiang'er to the Five Spirits Sect, and I came to stop it, so I ...... it."
Yu Po didn't expect him to sue the wicked first, and before he finished speaking, he added a trace of strength to his hand, and the short sword almost pierced Tian Nong's neck.
"Stop!" roared the patriarch.
Yu Po's body shook, let go of Tian Nong's stew, pushed him to the ground, and defended: "This person has set up an ambush to kill me and Xiang'er, please ask the patriarch to investigate." ”
Tian Nongxiang also relented and shouted: "Patriarch, wronged! She wants to give Tian Nongxiang to the people of the Five Spirits Sect, and if she bumps into me here, she will kill people and kill her." ”
"Despicable villain!" Yu Po scolded.
In the night, the patriarch had a gloomy face, he ignored the two of them, and beckoned to the farmer on the side, "Child, you come." Tian Nongxiang walked over obediently.
By this time, some of the people in the clan had gathered with torches.
"What happened?"
"I heard that Yu Po has colluded with the Five Spirits Sect. ”
"No, wouldn't it?
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts!"
Someone whispered.
The patriarch glanced at the crowd, looked at Tian Nongxiang and asked, "You come to tell everyone what happened." ”
Tian Nongxiang nodded, pointed to Tian Nongxiang with his hand, and told the story aloud.
"What else do you have to say?" asked the patriarch, turning his head to stare at Tian Nongyan.
Tian Nong's face was red and white, and he retorted with a stalk on his neck: "It is close to the period of tribute, and my clan is also introducing this baby into the clan for this reason, but some people want to regret it, I can't stand it, and I am willing to take this place and hand it over to the Demon Banner to solve the danger of our clan." ”
"Yes, give that baby to the Demon Banner!" someone shouted from the sidelines.
"Our people must not be put in danger because of this!"
"Honest!" the patriarch paused and glanced at the few people who had just spoken, "You all have this idea?"
After a brief silence, the fat woman behind the crowd replied in a loud voice, "Yes!"
Yu Po looked at the patriarch anxiously, "Patriarch, you can't, it's too ...... to say this."
"Shut up, a servant wants to meddle in the affairs of the clan?" shouted the fat woman in the crowd.
Yu Po glanced at her resentfully, "Aren't you afraid that Elder Wu will blame you?"
"Don't take Wu Lao to oppress people, it's related to the safety of the whole clan, if you don't send him out, do you want to send my clan's descendants?" The fat woman licked her fat lips, and then said with a sneer: "Or send Tian Nongyan away." ”
"Shut up!" the patriarch looked at the crowd coldly, and his heart was secretly shocked. I can't leave this place in the clan, so I have to send him to the secret land as soon as possible. Then he pointed to the field and said sharply, "Lock him up." Immediately, Tian Nongben and the other two people rushed over, tied Tian Nong Braised like a rice dumpling, lifted it and left.
Tian Nong Yan shouted heartbreakingly: "The patriarch is unfair, the clansmen want to be the master of me!"
The patriarch looked at him coldly, "I'm afraid you don't care about the safety of the whole clan. Then he turned to the crowd and said, "If you do something in the dark, there must be something wrong." Let's not forget what happened more than forty years ago. ”
Originally, someone wanted to intercede for Tian Nong, but when he heard the patriarch say this, he fell silent again. Because more than 40 years ago, there were clansmen who were coerced by a few loose cultivators who wanted to sneak into the secret place to steal the wordless tablet, but they were later discovered and wantonly slaughtered the clansmen, and more than a dozen masters of the clan died. If it hadn't been for the timely arrival of the patriarch and the martial elders, it would have caused a catastrophe. Afterwards, even the patriarch was confined by the ancestor for half a year, and now he is still terrified when he thinks about it.
"Come with me. The patriarch took Tian Nongxiang's little hand, turned around and left slowly.
Although some clansmen were secretly dissatisfied, it was not easy to refute it when they saw that the patriarch was like this. After all, Diqiu Tiannong has been in turmoil for many years, and he is all supported by him. As long as he decides on something, the clansmen only need to recruit it, and they have long been accustomed to it. When the patriarch saw Tian Nongxiang walking and looking back, he turned his head and saw Yu Po not far away still standing in the distance, and said softly: "You can go back too, you take good care of this place, and Wu Lao will definitely be grateful." ”
Yu Po hurriedly saluted and reluctantly returned to the original way.
On the platform at the back of the village, four torches illuminate the altar.
"Something happened to the Midi side, and I was going to keep you in the clan for a while, but now it seems that it can't be done. The patriarch sat on a chair and looked at the farmer on the side.
"What happened?" Old Ancestor and Martial Elder ......," Tian Nongxiang asked anxiously.
"The ancestor is very good, Wu Lao is a little injured, but it is fine. I'm afraid you're going to do something for him. Old Ancestor said calmly.
Tian Nongxiang opened his mouth and closed it again, not knowing what to say, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll try not to make a mess." ”
Old Ancestor looked at him with satisfaction, "Go into the house to rest, and I'll send you into the secret place later." ”
Tian Nongxiang looked up at the old man in front of him gratefully with a small face, not understanding why he was so good to him. Tian Nongxiang took a step towards the house, then suddenly turned around and asked, "What about the matter of Rengong?"
The patriarch glanced at him and smiled dryly, "Sleep in peace, I won't send you out." ”
Tian Nongxiang originally didn't mean this, but when he heard the patriarch say this, he had nothing to explain. He went into the room with his head drooping.
At this moment, eight people came to the altar, and they were Tian Nong Ben, Tian Nong Tie, and several existing masters in the clan.
"Later, I will send Xiang'er into the secret land, and you and a few others will have a good life to protect the clan. The patriarch commanded.
"Rest assured, patriarch, we will work together to protect it. Tian Nong Ben said loudly.
The patriarch nodded, "If there is no supreme powerhouse to attack, the three large formations can withstand it for a while." It's just ......" The patriarch hesitated, looked at the few people in front of him, and didn't say any more.
Several people looked at the patriarch suspiciously, not understanding what he was thinking.
The patriarch hesitated for a moment and said, "Tonight's incident is quite strange, Tian Nongyan suddenly made such a move, I am afraid that there is something else hidden." ”
"What does the patriarch mean......" Tian Nongtie asked with a glaring at the old man.
"I can't say it, what Xiang'er said just now that there are three people running in the direction of Midi, I don't know if they are from the clan. The patriarch spoke worriedly.
"If those people dare to disadvantage our people, they will be torn into pieces. Tian Nong Ben said hatefully.
"But I still don't understand, why do they want to take Xiang'er?" Tian Nongtie continued.
The patriarch shook his head, "No matter what, we have to send this place to the secret land as soon as possible." ”
The few people in front of him all nodded. For hundreds of years, the clan has lost many strong people in order to copy the wordless monument, so that at this time, the emperor Qiu Tiannong was weak. Although a few people also copied some, they did not get the essence of the wordless tablet, and the improvement of cultivation was limited. Therefore, they knew very well in their hearts that the patriarch and even the ancestor had high hopes for the field farmers at this moment, and if they could really copy it, maybe in a few decades, this place would become the pillar of the emperor's land farmers.
"Rest assured, Patriarch, we will do our best to keep the clan safe. Tian Nong Ben replied loudly.
"He's secret, be careful. Keep an eye on the fields and farmers, and don't be careless. The patriarch instructed.
Several people said yes. Later, after the patriarch explained some more things, he ordered them to go back.
Although Tian Nongxiang was in the house, he really listened to the conversation in front of the altar just now. He was also secretly thinking about what was going on tonight, especially the cruel smile in the dark night of Tian Nong's stew, which kept flickering in his mind. It seems reasonable, but it doesn't seem to be quite the same. Because the patriarch didn't seem to say in front of the clansmen that he would not send himself to be a tribute, if he acted recklessly based on speculation, it was a little unreliable. But for what? Those people must have come for themselves, but not for anyone. Since he came to this territory inexplicably, he doesn't seem to have any enemies, and he has nothing to offer, so it's worth the risk of Tian Nongyan and others. Tian Nongxiang's heart suddenly moved, Five Spirit Sect! Yes, he had offended the Five Spirit Sect. Is it to avenge the sable, or is it to ...... He was suddenly startled, and hurriedly reached out and touched it in his arms, and let out a sigh of relief, the Qiankun Pan was still there. Could it be the cangs and coyotes?
He lay in bed thinking nonsense, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
