0389 Who's on whose side
"Damnation, this is damnation!"
"Bastard, what are you talking about?!" the man who said this was slapped by the man next to him. [++
"I'm telling the truth! I've never heard that all the seeds on the Bright Heart Tree will disappear, and there won't be a single one left!
This man's voice was neither loud nor small, and everyone around him could hear it clearly. Although he was quickly suppressed by his companions, it also caused the people around him to fall silent.
Jiang Feng glanced around, most of the people's expressions were very strange, obviously they didn't say it, but in their hearts they still felt that this person's words were not unreasonable.
He Gushan's face was completely gloomy, he straightened up, as if he wanted to speak, but after glancing at the other side, he still closed his mouth tightly.
Qin Qingsheng smiled and had a relaxed expression, as if he didn't take this matter seriously, and as if he was just watching a good show.
The rest of the people in the guest seats had serious expressions, but on the main seat, several people already showed smiles that were either gloating or understanding.
At this time, an old man on the main seat stood up trembling slightly, and said to Mrs. Chong: "Daughter-in-law Quan, in front of so many guests, there is such a fork, you should explain it somewhat." ”
The old man's seat was only after Mrs. Chong, which showed his status in the Chong family. When he came forward to speak, Mrs. Chong seemed a little surprised, and a sigh passed over her face.
However, she quickly regained her composure and frowned: "Second Uncle is right, there has never been such a thing before. Ming Xinshu suddenly went out of sorts, it is very likely that someone is making trouble behind it! Xiao Fan will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"
The second-highest elder?
Jiang Feng's heart moved, and he remembered that he had heard before that there were a total of ten elders in the Chong family, three of whom were self-contained, two who supported the patriarch, and five who had been in retreat for many years, rarely appeared, and never expressed their position.
If he remembered correctly, this was the second-ranked elder. It's one of the five in retreat.
But now he is the first to speak up and rebuke Madame Chong, which means that he has changed his position and thrown himself into the camp of the Elders?
Mrs. Chong's voice just fell. A person behind the second elder immediately reprimanded: "Someone is making trouble? Investigation? This is clearly a curse of heaven! If we can't fuse the Mingxin Species, how can our heavy family have such a patriarch?"
The man was about forty years old, with thin cheeks and extremely piercing eyes. He was the first to come out and challenge Mrs. Chong and said bluntly. "This proves that Chong Fan is not qualified to be the patriarch, and I suggest that he be re-elected in the side branch!"
Madame Chong looked him up and down, her eyes gentle, but the man shrank back as if he had been stabbed with a knife.
Mrs. Chong said slowly: "The ceremony is not over yet, in this case, I suggest that we wait and talk." ”
The man gritted his teeth and spoke again: "What is not over yet?
Madame Shige's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. He said in harmony: "The seed in the tree is gone, but the seed in the heart is still there...... Why worry?"
Chongjia suddenly coaxed, and the mouths of the people next to him were all closed tightly, and no one spoke.
Now in the valley, there is only a slight sound of wind, and Mrs. Chong's voice is becoming clearer and clearer.
Then, a "bang" sound sounded, and the heavy burden in Jiuming Lake finally moved, and slowly walked towards the direction where the Mingxin tree in the center of the lake was located.
The lake is waist-length, and it is actually very inconvenient to walk. But the pace of repetition is very steady.
The man behind the Second Elder stared at his back for a while, and suddenly laughed: "What's the use of walking over now? The Mingxin Seed is gone, and there is no Mingxin fluctuation, it is impossible to fuse at all! If you can't be a martial cultivator, you won't be worthy of being the head of a family!"
He shouted so loudly that he had completely torn his face. At this time, some people around him also began to respond. At first, the voice was relatively quiet, but gradually it became louder, and it was behind the head of the family. It's getting noisy!
At this time, one of the people sitting next to the second elder raised his head and said with some embarrassment: "Daughter-in-law Quan, let Xiao Fan stop." It's already destined to be unable to fuse the Mingxin species, at least don't make it too ugly. ”
When everyone was noisy and noisy, Mrs. Chong did not move at all, and did not react at all. At this time, this person spoke, but her wrist stiffened, slowly turned her head, and sighed: "Third uncle, it turns out that you are also ......"
The Third Elder, who was also one of the five people who had no position to retreat, did not expect that this time he would also reveal the position he was standing in.
Mrs. Chong's gaze was fixed on him, and she swept lightly across his chest, and said, "Third Uncle, I remember that you have a scar on your chest. ”
The third elder said, "You still remember." ”
Mrs. Chong said: "How could I not remember? Twenty years ago, the two of us fought side by side, facing 100,000 demons, and we killed so happily. Your scar was also from that time, and I thought you had always been proud of it. ”
The third elder's voice paused, and only after a moment did he say, "Many things are not as you think. ”
Madame Chong was silent for a long moment, sighed, and turned her head back. She stared at Chongfan's back and said softly, "Yes." ”
Chong Fan continued to walk forward, and at this time, a cracking sound suddenly came from the side of the third elder.
Then, a person stood up, glanced coldly at the two or three elders, and strode to the side of Jiuming Lake.
Mrs. Chong said unexpectedly: "Fourth uncle?"
The four elders stood by the lake and shouted, "Chongfan, hurry up! Let's show them! Our Chongjia has never been the kind of coward who gives up before he tries!"
Madame Heavy's eyes widened in surprise.
Although the five elders never took a stand, they actually had a close relationship with her.
The best relationship with her is the three elders, who have been fighting side by side for many years, and they are friends of life and death who fight in water and fire.
And the one who has the worst relationship with her is the four elders.
Since she passed the door, this person has not given her any good looks.
Mrs. Heavy is not unaware of the reason.
The four elders have always believed that fighting and taking power are all men's business, and women should stay at home and teach their husbands and children, and guard the men to come back.
Even if Mrs. Chong later showed strong combat power and skills far superior to ordinary people, he never changed such an idea.
There is no way, the two sides can only die and never get along, but fortunately, the other party has been in retreat for many years and will not add chaos casually.
Madam Chong always thought that if she had to take a stand, the four elders would definitely be the opposite person. Unexpectedly, he would stand up and support Chongfan at this time!
However, she put her hand on her forehead and suddenly laughed.
Of course, he supports Chongfan, not himself, and what he says is indeed very in line with his character.
But so what?
The slight gloom on her face suddenly disappeared, and her smile became incredibly calm again.
......
......
Jiang Feng heard the conversation opposite Yimingquan clearly.
Although he doesn't know the various relationships of the heavy family, he can guess some of them just from these performances.
But now, he didn't have time to think about that, and he stared at the Mingxin Tree in front of him through his back.
Just now, when the leaves of the Mingxin Tree were falling and the seeds were disappearing at the same time, Jiang Feng's heart suddenly crossed a wail.
He immediately understood that Mingxin Tree was injured!
More precisely, it was hurt by someone else!
I don't know who used what means on it forcibly cut off the connection between it and the Heavenly Tree, and instantly cut off the source of its bright power.
The Mingxin Tree and the Heavenly Wood are one, and this break immediately hurts its roots.
At this moment, the Mingxin Tree was isolated and turned into an ordinary tree. All of its remaining light power is absorbed by the seeds of the tree, but even then, it is not enough to supply it all.
As a result, all of the Mingxin seeds were withdrawn from the inside of the tree and entered a dormant state, which appeared to have disappeared on the surface.
In this state, of course, it is impossible for Chongfu to be able to merge with it. Even if he walked under the Mingxin Tree now and recited the prayer, it would be impossible for the Mingxin Seed to be moved.
This is something that Mrs. Chong had calculated before the Fallen Leaves Banquet began.
She also communicated with Jiang Feng and Chongfan because of this, and several people knew what they were going to do at this time.
Jiang Feng was supposed to sit quietly and wait for things to continue to develop, but at this time, he was affected by Mingxinshu's pain.
The faint pain continued to flow into his heart, endlessly. It was like a wail after a wail, like a child who has lost his parents and a wanderer who can never return home.
If this continues, even if the connection can be rebuilt, this mother tree of the bright heart will be greatly damaged.
Jiang Feng stared at the Mingxin Tree, his brows furrowed. (To be continued.) )
