Chapter 93: The Abolished Chief
Liu Canglong ignored the words of the man in black, and his eyes swept to the group of village chiefs who had betrayed him, and said: "Although you are not cultivators, you have been from the Dream Hunter Clan for generations, and your ancestors have been favored by Yunmeng Mountain for generations, and today you are actually betrayed by your ancestors, where is your conscience?"
When the forty-nine village chiefs heard Liu Canglong's words, a few of them showed embarrassment, and a few of them quietly stepped back. However, there was a red-faced man who straightened up and said loudly: "Liu Canglong, we are just against you today, and we have not betrayed the Dream Hunter Clan! We are just fed up with your decades of oppression and exploitation!" As soon as he said this, the other village chiefs immediately nodded yes, and the crowd began to be angry.
Liu Canglong's face darkened, and he said sharply: "Dream hunting clan rules, the village under Yunmeng Mountain is headed by the patriarch, and if anyone dares to betray, the patriarch can kill him!"
As soon as the words fell, the faces of many of the village chiefs changed, and a few even showed frightened expressions. Obviously, what Liu Canglong said was not a lie, there was indeed such a clause in the rules of the Dream Hunter Clan. Seeing that the forty-nine people were a little flustered, and even had the intention of retreating, the red-faced man stood up again and said: "Liu Canglong, you don't have to bluff here, the matter has come to this, we have made it clear and said: Our forty-nine villages have unanimously decided to abolish your position as patriarch and choose another meritocracy!"
Liu Canglong looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Strange talk through the ages! How can there be a village that abolishes the rules of the dream hunting patriarch!" and pointed to the red-faced man and said: "Li Qiaosheng, that year you sent your son up the mountain to participate in the selection, but his qualifications were too poor, and I sent him away on the spot. It seems that you have a grudge and actually declare a personal vendetta......"
A trace of shame flashed on the face of the red-faced man Li Qiaosheng, thinking that this was indeed the case back then. He also felt very dishonorable, and he was speechless for a while. I heard an old man beside him say hatefully: "Who doesn't know that after you Liu Canglong became the patriarch, the taxes paid by each village to the mountain increased year by year, and there were a few years when the annual income was not good, and many villages had failed harvests. However, each time it was poor grain, and it was implied that we should send people up the mountain to thank Dade......"
Another preemptively said, "It is not said that you have given us a gift of poor grain in the year of great calamity, even if it is a bad harvest." How have you ever really reduced taxes and taxes? You haven't ordered all villages to hand over the prescribed number of beast stone elixirs! We have few villains in Hanshi Village, and you actually ask us to hand over ten thunderbolt beast stones and eight red mulberry fruits! We are all mortals who have not cultivated, where can we find the few beast stone elixirs! Poor my son climbed the cliff in order to find Qi Chi Mulberry fruit. Fell and broke both legs. Became a waste......" he said. This person was full of tears, and his sadness was difficult to suppress.
Before he finished speaking, another gray-haired old man said: "When Zhuang Tianyang and his wife fled down the mountain, you led people down the mountain to search for them, and in a fit of anger, they actually suspected that someone was hiding them, and took the village chiefs of several villages near us to the mountain. Hypocritically said that he wanted to ask us to uphold the rules of the Dream Hunter Clan, but secretly forcibly brought us into a dream, to find Zhuang Tianyang's whereabouts from our dreams, and pity a few of us mortals. I was tortured by you in my dream, my spirit was damaged, I had nightmares for more than ten years, and my spirit was close to collapse......"
At this time, everyone on the side shouted: "You are a complete hypocrite!" "Over the years, all the villages under the mountain have been miserable by you!" "We are going to abolish you as the patriarch today!" Everyone became more and more excited, and some people were almost eager to rush up and tear Liu Canglong apart.
Unconsciously, everyone has turned this place into an accusation against Liu Canglong. The man in black listened to the crowd without saying a word, but his chest rose and fell, and he seemed to be quite excited. And Zhou Bonian was gloating with a face of schadenfreude.
The disciples of Yunmeng Mountain listened to Liu Canglong in the mouth of the village chiefs, and they were shocked! They went up the mountain to cultivate since they were children, and their ideal was that after their cultivation reached a certain level, they could enter the world and walk, and appreciate the wonders of the big world outside, but they no longer cared about the world around them in the village below the mountain. After they went up the mountain, their family became the pride of the whole village, and they received special treatment from Yunmeng Mountain, so even if they sometimes went down the mountain to go home, they had no way of knowing what the other people in the village had been through. From the moment they went up the mountain, they seemed to be trapped in a separate world. And on Yunmeng Mountain, although Master Liu Canglong is quite strict, he has always been that kind of fatherly strictness, in their hearts, Liu Canglong is high and must be unconditionally obeyed and respected.
However, the Liu Canglong in the mouth of the village chief was so insidious and violent, just like a Buddha with a solemn appearance was torn off the golden clothes on the outside by them layer by layer, revealing the dark ugly soil inside. Therefore, after they were shocked, their hearts couldn't help but go up and down, although they didn't believe everything they said, but there was already a pimple protruding!
Zhuang Zhou looked at the angry looks of the village chiefs opposite, then looked at Zhou Bonian's smug face, and then saw that the man in black seemed to be standing there quietly, he knew that the face of the man in black must be a wicked smile at this time! Of course, he would never believe the nonsense of these traitors, they were just implanted with low-level dream-making charms by the man in black's invasion of dreams, and in their subconscious, the man in black put a memory: that is, Liu Canglong is heinous!
How many times does it take to cast spells in dreams for invading the dreams of forty-nine people, and then implanting a memory in the subconscious! No wonder the man in black has not moved for so long, it turns out that he has already shuttled down the mountain to cast spells, and secretly subdued forty-nine village chiefs! Such a painstaking conspiracy, in Zhuang Zhou's view, fully proves the insidiousness of the man in black!
It seems that Wen Tian and Li Chaowen were also implanted with a dream-making talisman by the man in black, so that the ghost could be controlled by the man in black. He secretly decided that no one else cared, and he must remove the dream-making talisman in Wen Tian's consciousness.
At this moment, the enemy is outnumbered, and rash action is definitely not conducive to one's own side, and the plan for now is to find a way to debunk the enemy's conspiracy and regain the initiative!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou immediately turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Don't fall for traitors! They must have been implanted with some kind of memory, and their current memory has been controlled by others...... Everyone concentrates, the safety of Yunmeng Mountain is tied to us!" When everyone heard him, they suddenly realized, and nodded yes one after another, they all wanted to be almost deceived by the man in black, and they couldn't help but be ashamed.
Then he shouted to the village chiefs: "Uncles and uncles of the village chiefs, I think you must have been implanted with a dream talisman in the dream world by the man in black, and you have subconsciously added some memories that do not belong to you. Everyone has lived in Yunmeng Mountain for generations, and they are dream hunters, so we can't let the traitors succeed!"
The man in black sneered a few times and said, "You are the young man surnamed Zhuang?" I heard that you are a cultivation wizard, not long ago, you also broke Zhou Bonian's dream-urging sound, and what one-eyed buffalo dreamed of, and found out the process of the murder of the three elders of Mengtan, just now I actually broke the whistle of the three of us, and you actually dared to dance a knife to fight my iron-armored lizard...... It's a pity that you have no cultivation talent, but your brain is as stupid as a cow!"
Zhou Bonian listened to the man in black reveal the mess he had lost at the hands of a junior teenager the day before yesterday, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, and couldn't help glaring at the person in black angrily.
Zhuang Zhou knew that the man in black deliberately provoked himself between his words, he couldn't be easily fooled, and when he mentioned the matter of the three elders of Mengtan, he hurriedly said sharply: "Since you mentioned the three elders of Mengtan, then I have to ask, why did you kill Humpty Dumpty, and where did you detain the other two seniors!"
The man in black suddenly laughed and said, "It's really true to say that you are as stupid as a cow! You should ask these stupid questions to your respected master!"
Zhou Bonian and Li Chaowen were shocked at the same time, thinking to themselves, couldn't the three elders of Mengtan be the work of the man in black? Li Chaowen even remembered the thing he had hidden in the cave, and at this time this thing was lying quietly in the clothes on his chest. I knew that it had nothing to do with the man in black, so why did I risk being discovered by Liu Canglong to hide it at that time!
But if not the Man in Black, who would it be?
Zhuang Zhou smiled proudly and said, "It's ridiculous that there are no three hundred taels of silver here! You can't even bluff me with that little bit of conspiracy, how can you hide my master's eyes!" and said loudly to the village chiefs: "It's him, this foreign intruder, who killed one of our Dream Hunter Clan seniors some time ago, and also detained the other two seniors. Now he is instigating the abolition of the patriarch and doing a great rebellion! This person is really planning to destroy my Yunmeng Mountain and the homeland where we have lived for generations!"
There was a commotion among the village chiefs, and the black-clothed man who had just said that he had implanted a dream-making talisman in his dream realm was a bit unbelievable for those of them who had not cultivated the Fruit Hunting Dream Technique. However, hearing Zhuang Zhou say that the man in black actually murdered the elder of the Dream Hunting Clan, several village chiefs couldn't help but start to suspect it. The red-faced Li Qiaosheng from before said, "You said that he killed the elder of the Dream Hunting Clan, what evidence do you have?
Zhuang Zhou said: "This is what I saw with my own eyes!" looked at Li Chaowen with his eyes and said: "Senior Brother Li, I was in the dream of the one-eyed buffalo with you at that time, and I saw him lead people to commit murder in Menggongtan, right?"
Li Chaowen said embarrassedly: "I saw a group of people committing murder with your own eyes, but at that time, the one-eyed buffalo was already dying, and the dream was blurry, and that group of people was just a dark shadow, where can I tell who it is!"
Suddenly, Wen Tian, who had been standing silently beside the man in black, spoke: "Senior Brother Zhuang, you are really wrong!" (to be continued......
