Chapter 40 "Confession"
The Golden Phoenix Terrace Barrier slowly receded.
The mountain rains are also gradually weakening.
The wind has no tendency to abate, and the mountains and forests rise and fall in the wind.
Chu Hongshuang's mood was like a forest swaying in the mountain wind.
"What do you mean, I don't quite understand." Chu Hongshuang turned his head slowly, and the wrinkled face of the shaman's grandmother was facing him.
The short man wrapped in a black robe stood behind her with his head bowed and without saying a word, his face still indistinguishable.
"Huh." The shaman's laughter was like a worn-out bellows, "Others may not know." I don't know if it's the Son of God standing in front of me now, but I know very well that there is a strange power in you. ”
"Just now, the power in your body is about to move, this can't be faked."
Chu Hongshuang suddenly broke into a cold sweat, this old shaman didn't know when he came behind him, he didn't notice it at all, maybe all his attention was on the woman in black just now, afraid that she would find any clues.
The woman in black was also startled, glanced at the shaman grandmother uneasily, bowed slightly and stepped aside.
"Brother Hongshuang, who is this grandma?" Chu Tianyou looked at Chu Hongshuang and the short, dry old woman suspiciously.
"She's the shaman's grandmother." Chu Hongshuang stared at the old shaman cautiously and said softly.
Chu Tianyou heard that this was Grandma Shaman, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Grandma Shaman, I have often heard of you, and today I finally saw you alive!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in black gently patted him on the back of the head.
Grandma Shaman looked at Chu Tianyou, chuckled and said, "Little guy, you have a good relationship with the Holy Son?" ”
Chu Tianyou rubbed his head and glared at the woman in black, and then replied: "That's right, Grandma Shaman, Brother Hongshuang is my best friend, there is no one." ”
Grandma Shaman let out a soft "oh" and her gaze flicked back and forth between the two of them, "So, do you think the Holy Son has changed recently?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Tianyou instantly fell into silence, he glanced at Chu Hongshuang, frowned tightly and thought about it.
Chu Hongshuang's clothes were soaked with sweat, and she was extremely uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to show her uneasiness, so she could only pretend to smile calmly.
The woman in black hummed a little song softly, sure that Chu Hongshuang would be completely exposed by them in front of all the clansmen.
The momentum of the person under the black robe suddenly skyrocketed, and he was ready to attack.
"There are really changes...... Chu Tianyou groaned.
Chu Hongshuang became even more nervous, and her mouth was dry in an instant.
"Oh?" Grandma Shaman's eyes lit up, she smiled and nodded into the distance, looking at Chu Tianyou's slightly baby fat face with a kind face.
"Brother Hongshuang, he has become braver, more responsible, and more handsome!" Chu Tianyou suddenly said aloud.
His voice resounded throughout the audience, and everyone paid attention.
Chu Tianyou was taken aback, he didn't expect his voice to be so loud.
I don't know when, the woman in black stood behind him with a sound screw, amplifying and spreading his voice.
The huge mirror was also facing here, and their figures were cast onto the rock face.
Chu Hongshuang breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at Chu Tianyou gratefully, and then looked at the shaman grandmother with a frown, this old woman really took the trouble to secretly present the sound and image here completely in front of the whole clan.
This answer was also obviously unexpected by the shaman's grandmother, who had a calm face and a gloomy expression.
Chu Tianyou's expression eased, and he continued to say loudly: "Brother Hongshuang has always been criticized, since he is no longer the Holy Son, no one has looked at him squarely. Everyone sees him as different, and he has been suffering in silence! ”
"All of you think he is cowardly and incompetent, always speaking ill of him, even punching and kicking him, and he never resists. I have been annoyed and saddened by this countless times, and I have been embarrassed and angry at him. ”
"Later I understood him. His reluctance to resist is not because he is cowardly and timid, but because he always puts the Chu family first, no matter how bad the attitude of the clansmen is, they are also a family with blood! ”
"But! Since Brother Hongshuang was seriously injured and was imprisoned in a black prison by the order of the patriarch, he was severely tortured and interrogated by the punishment team, and no one treated him as a clansman at that time, but treated him as a prisoner of a different race. This also completely made him die. ”
"Don't talk about him, I'm cold! Now that he has changed, he no longer swallows his anger and no longer accepts it, this is what a good man of our Chu family should be! ”
"Now that you're starting to doubt him, I don't know what your purpose is. Is it because he is no longer obedient and dares to resist, which makes you feel uneasy? Is it because the former Son is high up and makes your hearts unbalanced? Or is it because his father Chu Xiaolin led ......"
"That's enough." Grandma Shaman abruptly interrupted him and stopped him from continuing.
The faces of all the people in the clan were extremely complicated.
"Ling'er......" the old shaman called softly.
The woman in black seemed to have just recovered from the shock, and hurriedly put away the sound screw.
The square, where thousands of people huddled together, was silent.
Chu Hongshuang stared at Chu Tianyou in surprise, there was a determined look on his slightly immature face, and sweat was oozing from his forehead and the tip of his nose, which should also be very nervous.
These words would come from the mouth of this kid, and if he wanted to say that there was no guidance from a master, he would not believe it first. But who could it be?
Grandma Shaman's side would never do this.
The patriarch should know about Grandma Shaman's plans in advance, but he won't help himself either. Lifting a stone to shoot himself in the forehead, this old fox would never do.
Grandpa must have been kept in the dark by them and didn't know anything about it.
Chu Guanyun?
Chu Hongshuang looked up at him, only to see that he seemed to have just suffered a heavy backlash, his face was pale, and he barely stood there holding on to the railing with his eyes slightly closed.
It shouldn't be, so many words could not have been taught to Chu Tianyou just now, there must have been a period of time, and the purpose was to prevent today's interrogation.
Could it really be Chu Tianyou's heartfelt words?
Chu Hongshuang couldn't figure it out for a while.
Suddenly, a crisp female voice sounded, "The Holy Son is very good, why do you all have to treat him like this?" ”
Everyone looked over.
The delicate and pale face of the girl Meng Xiao was full of anger, and she stood on a mountain rock, her toes clenched into fists.
"It's all family, why should you bully others!"
A couple beside her hurriedly pulled her down and reached out to cover her mouth.
Chu Hongshuang looked at Meng Xiao gratefully, but she didn't expect that there was another person besides Chu Tianyou who spoke for herself, and he was also a person who had known each other for less than a day.
"Ahem......"
The patriarch's throat broke the brief silence.
"Little episode, don't worry about it. Since there is no other controversy about the new patriarch now, I have made up my mind. Three days later, on the auspicious day, I will officially step down as the patriarch, and Chu Guanyun will replace me as the patriarch at that time, and the ceremony will be held on the same day. ”
Everyone present applauded, and the square was once again lively. Regarding Chu Hongshuang, everyone is reluctant to mention it, and if you can forget it, you will definitely forget it as soon as possible......
"There's another thing I need to tell the people in the clan."
The patriarch cleared his throat again and continued.
"Over the years, there will be a Jinfengtai competition after the root bone determination ceremony in March, and this year is no exception, and the new patriarch will naturally be in charge at that time, but I will announce it today."
"Please ask the 200 clansmen who have obtained the exercises today to hurry up and cultivate, March is not long, it is not short, and the extent to which you can cultivate depends on the individual. If you don't reach the ethereal realm by then, you will be eliminated by yourself. Of course, don't just want to work at ease when you reach the ethereal realm, others won't wait for you in place! ”
"Last year, this year, the people who had the coming-of-age ceremony will also have a competition. This year, the rewards are huge, and the top 10 clansmen can also get a tailor-made weapon from Tiege Mountain! ”
"Wow!"
The pot exploded in an instant among the clansmen, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Tiegeshan tailor-made...... That's where the royal dynasty used to forge royal weapons! ”
"Tiege Mountain will produce a few Tianzi-level weapons every year, if you hit the big luck, your weapon is Tianzi-level, tsk......"
"It's exciting, it's the best news I've heard today!"
The patriarch waved his hand.
"Similarly, the biennial selection for captains has begun again. I hope that people with lofty ideals will participate in the selection and escort the future of my Chu family! ”
"Finally, there is good news. This news was discovered by the new patriarch Chu Guanyun, so I asked Chu Guanyun to tell me. ”
Chu Hongshuang watched the old shaman leave in a huff, and her heart was free, and she didn't listen to what the patriarch said there at all.
The woman in black stared at him viciously as she left. Chu Hongshuang was naturally not to be outdone, and also stared back. But the place where you are staring at it is magnificent.
"Little rascal!"
The words scolded by the woman in black made Chu Hongshuang happy. She added the word "small", which showed that her suspicion in her heart was gradually weakening.
However, thinking that his picture scroll was in the hands of the old shaman, Chu Hongshuang instantly fell into an ice cave.
Grandma Shaman would not let herself go so easily. It was already difficult to retrieve the scroll from her.
"Steal, rob?"
Chu Hongshuang only dared to think about it, although the woman in black was vigilant and alert, she was big-chested and brainless, and she would always be stupid and in a daze. But the little man who is inseparable by the shaman's grandmother must be an existence that he can't afford to mess with. The momentum that emanated from his body just now was not weaker than that of his grandfather Chu Wuju.
"Alas, I can only take one step at a time." Chu Hongshuang sighed, her fate was firmly held in the hands of others.
Chu Guanyun's voice sounded, pulling Chu Hongshuang back to reality.
"A few days ago, Cuiwei Lake changed. I found a cave at the bottom of Cuiwei Lake. The aura in it is extremely rich, and it is very suitable for cultivation. ”
Before the words fell, it had already caused an uproar.
Chu Hongshuang was shocked, a few days ago? Wasn't that when he killed Meng Tieshi at the bottom of the lake? Would Chu Guanyun have found himself at that time? Or is it that the movement he caused at the bottom of the lake involves a hole in the heavens and the earth?
