Chapter 112: Matters New Elder
The conference is scheduled to start at the first quarter of the hour, and now it is just two o'clock, and there are already many people on the west side of the hall in the hall, these are the people of the Zhang family's main sect, and the people and horses of the other two forces have not yet appeared, as for the elders who are high above, they have not seen any of them.
All the children who entered the venue would unnaturally look in the direction where Zhang Xiaoshan was, and they were eligible to participate in the family conference, these people all had a certain status in the family, and naturally they also had a certain understanding of the content of the conference.
Zhang Xiaoshan will become the youngest elder of the Zhang family, this news has long been widely spread throughout the family, everyone wants to see what this celebrity who came down from the mountain five years ago and entered the WTO five years ago, experienced a mysterious disappearance, and a mysterious comeback, but can break into a prominent reputation.
Feeling everyone's eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan did not change in the slightest, he seemed quite calm, others are willing to see it, let people look good, and he will not have any impact.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall, and Zhang Xiaoshan noticed that four young men in capable red shirts and a woman wearing a scarf and a red skirt walked into the hall surrounded by a group of old people.
I have to admit that the talent of the children of the Zhang family is still very high, except for the woman who took the lead and is a master who has been famous for a long time, the other four elected representatives are all around thirty years old, but each of them is a cultivation in the Jindan period, all of them are rare cultivation wizards, and they all enjoy a great reputation among the younger generation of the Zhang family, and they all have their own stunts
These children of the outer gate immediately sat in their places according to their own identities.
Chiyun Zhenren came directly to Zhang Xiaoshan, explained how worried he was after knowing the news of Zhang Xiaoshan's assassination, and vowed to catch the murderer Yunyun with his own hands, inquired about Zhang Xiaoshan's injury, and expressed his concern for his little junior brother, and gave two bottles of pills before leaving.
Zhang Xiaoshan had to admit that his fourth senior brother was a very charming person, although he was more than two hundred years old, but it should be because he was still young when he advanced to the Jindan period, so he was still just a middle-aged person, and because of his cultivation, the whole person appeared to have an extraordinary bearing, excellent demeanor, and quite an immortal style. It's just that now he has resolutely become the leader of the outer forces, which is really a trick!
His third senior brother treated himself quite coldly, just nodded to himself from a distance and sat in his seat with his eyes closed. I once heard the master talk about the third senior brother, the third senior brother's situation is also quite bumpy, he was a resident of the demon house in the north of Youzhou, two hundred years ago there was a demon tide, a large number of demon clans broke through the Zhang family's defense array, and poured into the town of the demon mansion in one breath, the city's 30,000 residents only survived less than a hundred, after the fact Zhang Daocheng led the Zhang family monks to defeat the demon clan, when inspecting the survivors in the city, he found his third senior brother in a collapsed house, he was covered in blood, life and death were unknown, but he had been holding his sister in his arms, and under him was a demon clan that had lost his breath, and the eyes of the demon clan were pulled out。 At that time, Shizun felt that the third senior brother was not an ordinary child, and he actually killed a demon clan in the Qi refining period with a mortal body and took him into his own disciples. The third senior brother's sister was too seriously injured and was not saved, and since then, the third senior brother has put all his mind on cultivation, and at the age of only 48, he advanced to the Yuan infant stage, probably because of the pain of his childhood, his personality is extremely indifferent, and he rarely comes into contact with people. On the contrary, he has a deep hostility towards the demon clan, and after leaving the school, he took the initiative to ask to be stationed in the Thousand Demon Mountains, and he can kill some powerful demon cultivators every year, and he is the protector god in the minds of the local residents, and his status and reputation are extremely high.
Maybe it's because he was born in the folk and is not a child of the Zhang family, so he was attracted to join by the forces of the outer sect.
"Senior brother!" Suddenly, a call interrupted Zhang Xiaoshan's thoughts.
In front of Zhang Xiaoshan stood an old man with silver hair and white beard, and all the other children around him stood up and saluted the old man respectfully, this old man is Zhang Xiaoshan's senior brother, named Zhang Xinsu, the law name is three unique real people, thirty years ago, he successfully advanced to the Tribulation Period, and is the only new Grand Monk of the Tribulation Period in the Zhang family's fifty years.
The three peerless real people have followed Zhang Daocheng for the longest time, and they are also the most valued by Zhang Daocheng, and they have always been his right-hand man, and have made countless achievements for the family, but after the catastrophe thirty years ago, I don't know how he came together with the five elders of Taishang and became the core figure in the Zhang family's side forces. But fortunately, he has always respected his teacher and taken charge of the side branch forces, and he has not done anything out of the ordinary. is just actively cultivating the children of the Zhang family, and in the past 30 years, the Zhang family has really increased many masters.
"Senior brother!" Zhang Xiaoshan stood up respectfully and saluted.
"You and my brother don't need to be so polite, a few days ago I heard that you were in danger, and I was very worried about it, but it was just a trivial matter, and I couldn't take the time to come to visit, and today I just asked one or two!" Zhang Xinsu smiled.
"Senior Brother Lao cares, it's just some juniors, and they can't hurt me!" Zhang Xiaoshan said deliberately.
"Don't be careless, I've already investigated, those assassins are some loose cultivators in Youzhou, a month ago, someone released a flower list to ask you for the head, those assassins are some outlaws, I have been thinking about you for a long time, if it wasn't for Elder Beihuai this time, although you have superb skills, you will also suffer some hardships!" Zhang Xinsu said.
Even Zhang Xiaoshan didn't know about these things, and he didn't expect that in just four or five days, Zhang Xinsu had already investigated the matter.
"The spy on the mountain has been caught, and what we have to do now is to find out the black hand behind it. Senior brother, don't worry, no matter who that person is, if you dare to attack you, you will declare war on the entire Zhang family, as long as this person does not fly to the upper realm, I will definitely find out. ”
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately understood what Senior Brother meant, it turned out that his concern was false, and he took the opportunity to show that this matter was not the work of the side forces, and the fourth senior brother came to speak just now for the same purpose.
The act of assassinating himself really shocked the three forces, and several high-level leaders were eager to get rid of suspicion, and Zhang Xiaoshan's life and death naturally could not affect the big situation, but if this matter was settled, he would definitely fall into a comprehensive disadvantage in the tripartite seizure of power. After all, there are still many neutral monks in the Zhang family like Bei Huaixuan, and the attitudes and positions of these people are even more critical, which is what the three parties want to fight for.
As time passed, soon the elders of the main sect also appeared in the temple.
More than 2,000 monks gathered in the entire hall, and many seats were vacant in both the south and east directions.
On the walls around the hall, twelve bronze dragon heads immediately appeared, each holding a lamp in its mouth, and as the lamp was lit, the two doors on the left and right sides of the hall were closed at the same time, and the family assembly officially began.
Zhang Baichuan, the current patriarch of the Zhang family, opened his mouth to congratulate him, recited many prayer scriptures, and led all his children to chant aloud the twelve family rules of the Zhang family.
After these rituals, the first item of the family assembly is to reward the meritorious people of the previous war. During the three-year war, countless children of the Zhang family bravely went to the front line to fight against the Sima family and defend the honor of the Zhang family. During this period, a large number of children have made great contributions, and the family has not been rewarded, and then this opportunity is just the right time to follow the reward to ease the tense atmosphere of the family.
Zhang Baichuan first sang out the list of battle losses: In the three-year war, the Zhang family killed a total of four elders of the inner gate, eleven elders of the outer gate, a total of 27 monks of the Yuan infant stage, 265 monks of the Jindan period, 1,389 monks of the foundation building period, 5,573 monks of the Qi refining period, a total of 17,920 casualties in the army, and 3,210 casualties among the mortals.
There was silence at the venue, although everyone formed three forces because of their different positions and backgrounds, but in the final analysis, they were all members of the Zhang family, and everyone in the list of war dead heard now was the same as them, all of them sacrificed for the Zhang family. Many of them are the descendants, friends, masters and apprentices of everyone present, although the dead have left, but the living still have to continue to support the Zhang family.
Zhang Xiaoshan was very sad in his heart, he didn't know that the family had made such a big sacrifice in order to resist the Sima family, no wonder some of the elders' seats were vacant, it turned out that those people were already dead. However, the Zhang family is always the Zhang family, and in the previous tragic battle, even the monks in the foundation building period died in the thousands, but the mortals in the territory only killed and injured more than 3,000 people.
Under Zhang Baichuan's instructions, there was a melodious sound of gold and iron all around, and six golden treasure walls appeared on the surrounding walls, which were engraved with the portraits and names of all the war dead, and even the lowest-level Qi Refining Stage cultivators could enjoy this treatment.
Zhang Baichuan pointed to the treasure wall and shouted: "Every heroic martyr will enter the Golden Jade Hall to worship, enjoy the fireworks in the world day and night, and hope that after his reincarnation, he will cultivate the Dharma Body!"
Everyone present chimed in: "Immeasurable merit!"
In the following time, the elders of each sect rewarded the meritorious children, and all kinds of spirit stones, utensils, materials, spirit treasures, and classics were all rewarded.
Zhang Xiaoshan sat on the chair, and finally understood why it was so difficult for him to receive some medium-grade spiritual weapons with the accumulation of the Zhang family for thousands of years. In this way, it is not easy to get these dozens of pieces by yourself!
The entire reward process lasted for three hours, and the low-level disciples who had received the reward left the venue one by one under the leadership of a special person after receiving the reward.
The vacant seats in the west head were quickly removed, and the space in the Golden Jade Hall was immediately much more spacious.
The second item of the meeting is a highlight, including Zhang Xiaoshan, a total of fifteen people will be added to the Council of Elders, of course, except for Zhang Xiaoshan, who is an honorary elder of the outer gate and does not hold any position, the other elders will more or less assume some positions, especially the four elders who are vacant from the inner gate, all of whom hold important positions, because of these four positions, the three parties are estimated to have a lot of fighting, and there will be all kinds of dirt. The final result was that the main sect had two monks in the infancy stage supplemented as internal elders, while the other two had only one person each, but in the appointment of the elders of the outer sect, only two people from the main sect entered, and the remaining eight were replaced by the other two sects.
All of the fifteen people changed into the red and white robes for the elders on the spot, and changed from their original positions to the new area.
Zhang Xiaoshan had no choice but to walk to the bronze chair in the east head in front of the gaze of everyone present, and he was surprised to find that Bei Huaixuan was sitting beside him. It was not too embarrassing to have a good acquaintance by his side, so he sighed and sat down in his chair.
Bei Huaixuan lowered his head and said, "I have to call you Elder Xiaoshan in the future!"
"Senior Beihuai, you're ashamed of me! we both know that I, the elder, is just the family wants me to ......."
"Ahem!" Zhang Baichuan in the center of the venue coughed lightly twice, and after attracting everyone's attention, he continued: "Next is the third item of the meeting, the content of the trial conference ......"
