Frost Fall Chapter 13 Provocation
"Nonsense!" When the patriarch heard this, his old face turned red, "The ancestors stipulated that whoever dares to disobey, I, as the patriarch, will not allow it!" ”
"Hongshuang also agrees with what the patriarch grandfather said, so I don't know what the grandfather of the Gong Elder thinks?" Chu Hongshuang smiled in her heart.
From the communication between the patriarch and the elders, he could see that the patriarch and the council of elders were still separated from each other.
Therefore, he guessed that although the patriarch and the elder had an unclear relationship, in front of everyone, the elder would definitely not blatantly stand with the patriarch.
Of course, he won't show mercy to the patriarch at all!
Elder Chuangong laughed dryly, his face was embarrassed at first, and then gradually eased, obviously trying to control his emotions.
"I am naturally familiar with the rules of the clan, and no matter who the children of the clan are, as long as they have not committed heinous crimes, they can participate." Elder Chuan Gong talked about him left and right, and avoided the important and talked lightly about the rules of the clan.
The patriarch frowned slightly, and secretly gave Elder Chuangong a look.
Elder Chuangong coughed lightly, pretending not to see.
"That's good! As an insider of the Chu family, Hongshuang should have this right, right? Chu Hongshuang saw that the two of them were eyebrows, and she felt funny in her heart.
These people are old foxes, with a full belly and intestines, and they are all well thought out before speaking.
However, in his former world, Chu Hongshuang did not watch less movies and TV series about power struggles.
Drawing inferences from others, it is the most important and necessary ability for medical students!
He calculated very clearly, the patriarch would definitely refuse this matter, and he would be righteous and stern, and there were all kinds of reasons.
If he is allowed to do so, the elders will not only not explicitly oppose him, but will instead push the boat to give him favors.
However, once the rift between them is found, the seemingly monolithic golden bowl can be broken.
No matter how close people are, there will be small and difficult cracks, maybe it is a sentence that has been said, or it may be something that has been done inadvertently.
The more intimate the relationship, the more dangerous these fissures are, and it is often fatal.
For both rights, these rifts will be magnified more easily, though not fatally.
The chasm between them is the Elder Transmission.
For countless years, the elders of the Gong Transmission have been appointed by the patriarch, and I don't know if this rule was thought of by the ancestor of the Chu family. In this way, the patriarch is restrained by the Council of Elders, but among the Elders there are cronies of the patriarch. There was a relaxation between the patriarchs and the presbytery, and there was no complete division between them.
I have to say, this is indeed very wonderful, it can be regarded as a scheme.
Elder Chuangong knows his role in both sides, and perhaps it is best described as walking on thin ice and trembling.
"This ......" Elder Chuangong really hesitated, and when he was in a dilemma, he couldn't help but look at the other elders.
In his position, he can do Tai Chi, and it is the wisest choice to shirk the involvement, and the elder is of course a smart person.
"Although the clan rules do not prohibit it, it is not conventional. It is contrary to the consensus of the world. The Law Enforcement Elder frowned and raised his voice in disagreement.
He stood firmly opposite Chu Hongshuang and his grandfather, but he didn't care what the forces of the two sides were cheating.
Chu Hongshuang frowned, for this fat elder, he was not sure which side he belonged to.
The law enforcement elders in my memory often go alone, always talk about the clan rules, and are harsh to the clansmen.
At this time, his actions also made the other elders of the Council of Elders frown.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Chu Hongshuang said." The Elder nodded approvingly at Chu Hongshuang, "It is true that the Holy Son Holy Body wants to receive immortal power, and it is true that the world consensus that the Holy Body cannot be cultivated, but this consensus is based on the premise of the Holy Son after all. Chu Hongshuang is no longer the choice of the Holy Son, so he should have the right to participate in the measurement. ”
Hearing this, Chu Hongshuang looked at the ordained elder gratefully.
Sure enough, the rift effect appeared, and the attitude of the law enforcement elder was beyond his expectations, but it had a helping effect on the matter.
The law enforcement elders were clever but were mistaken by their cleverness, and inadvertently widened the rift.
"Elder Mountain Guard, what is your opinion?" The Great Elder looked at the old man in the ink robe with complicated eyes, the ceiling of the Chu family's combat power, and the elder of the mountain guard.
"I have no opinion, Chu Hongshuang's dantian has been washed and transformed, and there is absolutely no possibility of re-repair, even if he participates, it is just a waste of an opportunity to measure, and the consumption of a few spirit stones." After Elder Hushan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated and did not ask any more questions.
"Elder of Internal Affairs?" The Great Elder looked at the old man who was sitting at the bottom, looking sloppy, with unkempt hair and a red rosacea.
The internal affairs elder seemed to wake up, rubbed his eyes and said, "I am short of people in the internal affairs department, if Chu Hongshuang fails to measure it, you can come to me to ask for a living." ”
As soon as he said this, he already acquiesced to Chu Hongshuang's request.
The five elders have become a three-to-two trend, and there is no reason why the Great Elder should not stand on the side of the large number of people, let alone favor the patriarch, after all, he is still the nominal Lord of Elders.
"That being the case, I, as the presiding elder, have no reason to refuse. As for the final decision, it is better to pass on the gong and discuss it with the patriarch. After speaking, the Great Elder looked at the Elder Chuan Gong who was undecided and the Patriarch who was already displeased.
He is not a human spirit, and this trick will make the patriarch and the elders of the Gong Gong scramble.
The patriarch shook his hand and said angrily: "The elders have decided that there is no more one person and no more than one person in the root bone determination. ”
Chu Hongshuang was overjoyed in her heart, it was done! This time it was the patriarch who was defeated!
He couldn't help but sigh again, he often sighed that people's hearts are sinister, and at the moment of crisis, his heart is even more sinister!
Elder Chuangong froze in embarrassment, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself.
At this time, the king of Zhennan chuckled, and arched his hand and said: "This is a family matter of the Chu family, and there is no blame for not saying much, but no blame thinks that it is not a bad thing for the Holy Son to participate in the measurement, and the news comes out, thinking that this measurement ceremony will be even more sensational, and the scene will be unprecedentedly grand and grand, but the measurement of the Holy Son has been fruitless, and I am afraid that I will be criticized." ”
Chu Hongshuang smiled when she heard this, saluted first, and then said: "Hongshuang has already received a lot of criticism on weekdays, so what's the harm if there is one more time?" ”
King Zhennan secretly praised and said loudly: "Even if the Holy Son has this enlightenment, this king is willing to look forward to the Holy Son's high school." ”
The patriarch's face was extremely ugly for a while when he heard this, if the king of Zhennan spoke for himself, he might be able to reverse the general trend that the overall situation had been set.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
The patriarch sighed, eased slightly, and said with a long laugh: "The king of Zhennan has this Yaxing, so naturally we can't stop it anymore." ”
Seeing that he was relieved, the Elder Chuangong knew that the matter had come to this point and could not be changed, and the stone in his heart also fell to the ground, "It's so the best, but I just want to come to this matter must be empty, Chu Hongshuang is afraid that he can't even obtain exercises such as T-characters, and the wasted spirit stones ......."
He thought that the patriarch was defeated in the secret battle, and he needed him to say something at this time in order to regain the face that the patriarch should have in front of outsiders.
Who knew that the patriarch had just cleared his throat, and before he could speak, a voice sounded.
"The matter of the spirit stone is small, and I am willing to contribute and help." King Zhennan said before everyone.
Everyone was surprised, for some reason, the value of spirit stones was extremely high, more expensive than ordinary currency gold and silver, and there was little circulation.
The spirit stones consumed by the Chu family's root bone determination can last for a year of cultivation in a smaller sect family, although the king of Zhennan is rich, he is not a person who can consume spirit stones casually, the only explanation is that he doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and he has invested a lot of money.
What's even more puzzling is that everyone knows that the Elder Chuangong is looking for a step for the patriarch, and there is no reason for an old fox like King Zhennan to fight in the officialdom not to know, so he mercilessly removed the patriarch's steps!
"Then I'll fill Chu Hongshuang into the roster." Elder Chuangong and the patriarch glanced at each other, sighed lightly and said.
Go down in flames! Chu Hongshuang was secretly refreshed in her heart, and then thanked everyone one by one, the etiquette that should be there is still to be a show!
Grandpa Chu Wuju also adjusted his chaotic aura at this time, glared at the patriarch fiercely, laughed, slapped Chu Hongshuang's shoulder hard, and led him away.
……
When the news came out, it really caused a sensation.
Many large and small sects and famous families in the south of the dynasty have sent letters, hoping to participate in the root bone determination ceremony held by the Chu family every two years.
This had never happened before, even the peerless genius Chu Xiaolin a few decades ago did not have the same influence as it does now.
The patriarch was overwhelmed for a while, annoyed in his heart, and scolded all day long, Chu Hongshuang naturally bore the brunt, this kid didn't know which tendon was not right, so he had to participate in the root bone measurement, not only that, but also borrowed a knife to kill people in front of the elders, so that he was not a human inside and out.
Then he secretly poked and poked insinuations and complained that King Zhennan was not kind to things, and he was so entertaining, but he didn't speak for himself, with King Zhennan's character and IQ, there was no reason not to know his situation.
In the end, he scolded these sect families for not having a good heart, and wanted to use this matter to hold the laughing stock and suppress the Chu family in Chisong Mountain, especially those sect families who had friction with the Chu family, and the speed of their letters could be called seconds.
There is not much difference between the families of the sect of cultivation and the secular market, they expose each other's scars on weekdays, ridicule and abuse, whose family has a hairline, all kinds of conspiracy remarks behind their backs, and whose family is down, sympathetic and regretful on the surface, and secretly happy and ridiculed. Even if there are some contradictions, as long as it is not a life and death feud, there are only a few who really fight.
He then ordered to go down and hold this root bone determination ceremony a few days earlier, so that those sect families who were far away would not have time to participate, and as for the nearby fellow Daoists, they could only accept the letter.
Because for the big family sect, you can't tear your face without a reason to refuse, and the small family and small sect are insignificant, and there is no need to refuse.
The sensation within the family is much smaller.
Except for the missing and untraceable brothers, parents and the old slave and the three wives, who have been vigorously opposed, and from time to time they are splashing and rolling in the patriarch's house, most of the other family members only scoff. Because it's not your own spirit stones that are wasted, it doesn't have a big impact on yourself.
There are also some extreme clansmen with a strong sense of family honor, who reacted violently to this matter, claiming that they would let Chu Hongshuang not have the opportunity to participate in the ceremony, even if he was punished by the clan rules.
Of course, these extremist clansmen are also doing their bidding. When they were warned by the patriarch's eldest son, Chu Guanyun, about pulling out their tongues and cramping, and at the same time knowing that Grandpa Chu Hongshuang's Red Thunder Technique had been cultivated to the top, they all disappeared.
These are all things that Chu Tianyou told Chu Hongshuang.
Chu Hongshuang didn't know that her decision would cause such a big wave, but she didn't feel bad, as long as she could save her life, she didn't plan to ask for this thing!
"Alas, if I had known this, I wouldn't have participated in this test!" Chu Hongshuang thumped her chest and paused, showing extreme annoyance.
Chu Tianyou did not agree with his idea.
"Brother Hongshuang, you have always been thinking about others, this is not right. The elders also once said that if you repay your grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue. People have been hurting you, and it's good that you didn't retaliate against them, so why bother with them? ”
Chu Hongshuang stared at Chu Tianyou in surprise, this kid, his consciousness is quite high! Then he got down the slope and said in a deep voice:
"Probably...... I've been doing it wrong all along! ”
He then looked at the huge towering pine tree on the top of the mountain, as if it was about to break through the clouds.
Does the personality of the person change?
The answer is yes.
What is good and evil, it is not to that extent, and when it comes, anything can be changed!
