Chapter 63: Leaving the city can be the main sect
For a while, there was silence in the ancestral hall.
All the people of the Wu clan looked at Wu Yuan in amazement, and some even showed anger, they couldn't believe that Wu Yuan would say such a thing.
"Childe, he!"
"It seems a little too much." Wu Xiong and Fang Ying looked at each other, both a little puzzled.
If there is some truth in what Wu Yuan said in the first half, but the last sentence of accusation, disloyalty, injustice and unfilial piety?
In their opinion, a little too much!
The Great Elder of the Wu Clan, in the hearts of everyone, including Wu Xiong, should be regarded as Wu Yuan's undisputed elder.
"Wu Yuan!" The Great Elder's cultivation of kung fu was first-class, but when he was accused like this in front of many clansmen, his face was completely unbearable, and his face was gloomy.
Many years.
No one from the Wu clan dares to do this, this is no longer a confrontation, but an open 'rebellion'!
Wu Yuan's expression was calm.
How sensitive is he? Naturally, he could detect the change in everyone's attitude, and he could understand why Wu Xiong, Fang Ying and the others were puzzled.
"Don't understand? That's right. Wu Yuan said secretly.
Normally, if the main sect invites him to join, he can politely decline, even if the main sect is dissatisfied, because of his current status, he will not say anything in the end.
But what he said was taking the initiative to guide and push the relationship between the two sides to 'rupture'.
"Middle-earth, heavy clan rituals, heavy blood...... Unfortunately, I don't care too much. Wu Yuan's heart was extremely indifferent.
Of course, Wu Yuan understood that even if the main sect didn't help the branch of the city much, he had taken advantage of it a lot in the past.
My own accusations are indeed excessive.
"However, only by turning my face today, in the future, can I take the lead in the handling of the relationship with the main sect." Wu Yuan had already thought it through.
Different from the mother, to the Wu family who left the city.
They have always helped themselves too much, and the fused original body memories have unconsciously affected Wu Yuan.
So, to help the Wu clan who left the city, Wu Yuan was willing!
But most of them are also out of the psychology of 'repayment', not that Wu Yuan really attaches importance to the so-called 'family inheritance' in his heart.
Moreover, the Wu clan in the city is very weak, and the clansmen are only hundreds.
Once Wu Yuan is really strong and occupies a high position within the Hengyun Sect, it will be easy to help, in a word.
But the main sect of the Wu family is different, this is a big family that has been inherited for a long time!
And Wu Yuan is not familiar with them.
"The tie will be ten times bigger than the Wu clan leaving the city!" Wu Yuan said secretly.
He had learned a lot of information about the Wu family's main sect, if you count the relatives of the clan, the number is thousands, and there are even two second-rate masters, and the number of third-rate masters is even more.
Once Wu Yuan is strong, the Wu Clan's main sect will definitely take advantage of the situation and even expand wildly.
This kind of family expansion has always been a matter of course, but for Wu Yuan, there will be a lot of trouble!
Even in the future, it will take a lot of time and energy to deal with these miscellaneous things.
"Whether the 'principals' of the main sect are reasonable or uninteresting, it does not affect them to cause me great trouble."
"In the future, when I am in a high position, as long as I don't vigorously help the main sect, I will only attract more accusations and incomprehension." Wu Yuan had already made a decision: "And now, turn your face first, and in the future, whether you will help the main sect or not, the world will not be able to say anything." ”
Help, a thought.
Not to help, there is also a reason.
Perhaps, the current actions will make many people think that Wu Yuan is 'ignorant' and 'young and frivolous', but the impact is far less than 'not helping' in the future.
After all, Wu Yuan just turned his face with the main sect, and he didn't care about his family and left the Wu family in the city.
And Wu Yuan had a plan, and in the future, he would secretly make some compensation to the main sect, but he would not make it public.
Warriors act with a clear conscience.
"Now turn your face? I'm afraid that some high-level sects will say that I value love and righteousness and don't think my family is poor. Wu Yuan's heart was calm.
While thinking about it, Wu Yuan's face took the initiative to 'emerge' with a rebellious look.
I hope that the 'Great Elder' will take the initiative to turn his face!
"Wu Yuan, I am the Great Elder of the Wu Clan! Not only is it the Great Elder of the Wu Clan's Main Sect, but he is also the Great Elder of the Six Counties Branch! The Great Elder's voice was low, staring at Wu Yuan: "You understand. ”
"Understood." Wu Yuan said lightly.
Looking at Wu Yuan's indifferent expression, the anger in the Great Elder's heart was finally difficult to suppress, and he was angrily scolding: "You ......"
Suddenly.
"Great Elder, it's not easy for Wu Yuan to come here!" A calm voice suddenly came from outside the ancestral hall, and the sound was like a bell, echoing in the ancestral hall.
The Great Elder's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look.
All the Wu clansmen inside and outside the ancestral hall also looked at each other.
"It's the patriarch!"
"Isn't the patriarch inspecting the local city guards in other counties?"
"The patriarch came back overnight?" A burst of whispered discussions spread through the crowd, and Wu Yuan instantly understood who was coming.
The head of the Wu clan, Wu Mao!
The 'general of the third battalion of the Nanmengfu City Guard', a second-rate master, commanding 2,000 soldiers, is also the Wu clan's highest status in the Hengyun Sect today.
Bang la la ~ the crowd is separated!
A team of guards opened the way, and a burly man wearing a general's armor that was more than two meters tall walked to the ancestral statue of the ancestral hall.
"Patriarch, do you know ......" the Great Elder was the first to speak.
"I know it all." Patriarch Wu Mao took incense while lighting it to worship the portrait of the ancestor and the tablet below.
The Great Elder couldn't help but shut up.
After the three bows were completed, the patriarch Wu Mao put on the incense, and then looked at the Great Elder: "Great Elder, since I am back, I will handle Wu Yuan's affairs." ”
The Great Elder was furious, but looking at the patriarch Wu Mao's solemn face, he could only say in a muffled voice: "Okay." ”
In terms of seniority, he is taller than Wu Mao.
On status? The Wu clan is missing a great elder from him, and it doesn't matter, but if Wu Mao is missing, the entire family will be shaken.
"Wu Yuan." Wu Mao turned his head to look at Wu Yuan with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Patriarch." Wu Yuan still looked calm.
"You don't have to take the words of a few elders too seriously, they want you to join the main sect, and they just want to grow the Wu clan together." The patriarch Wu Mao was half a head taller than Wu Yuan, and he was wearing armor, but he didn't give Wu Yuan any sense of oppression.
Wu Mao smiled: "You can't write two Wus in one stroke, whether it is the Nanmeng Wu clan or the Wu clan who left the city, it comes from the same lineage, isn't it?" ”
Wu Yuan frowned slightly, but had to nod: "Yes!" ”
At all costs.
Even if he didn't want to pay attention to the main sect, it was impossible for Wu Yuan to deny the ancestor of the Wu family.
"You are extremely talented, you can be called the first genius of my Wu clan in hundreds of years, and the ancestors will be very pleased if they know it." Patriarch Wu Mao smiled.
Nearly 1,000 people inside and outside the ancestral hall were stunned, the first day in hundreds of years? Really?
Several elders looked at each other.
Patriarch, is this not pursuing what happened just now?
"The patriarch has a reputation." Wu Yuan said softly.
"Whether I am overrated, time will tell." Patriarch Wu Mao still had a smile on his face: "Wu Yuan, I don't want to join the main sect, but because of the Wu clan who left the city? ”
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.
"Okay, then you don't have to be a member of the clan." Wu Mao smiled and said, "In addition, from today onwards, you will be my 'elder' of the Wu clan, and you can be included in the elder seat." ”
There was an uproar!
Everyone looked at Wu Mao in amazement, they couldn't believe their ears, even Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and the others couldn't figure it out.
What's the situation?
"Patriarch, this is not in line with the clan rules, according to the clan rules, only those who have great merit can be elders, and Wu Yuan has not joined the main sect." The Great Elder said in a deep voice.
"Great Elder, a hundred years ago, the six branches of the sect left the sect, and the main sect promised that each branch would be like a family." Patriarch Wu Mao said slowly: "There has never been a clan rule that says that branches are not allowed to be included in the Council of Elders, and the patriarchs of the six branches have always been members of the Council of Elders. ”
The Great Elder glared.
It is customary for each of the six branches to have a seat in the family presbytery.
In fact, it is only nominal, with no additional power, and the branch patriarch can only be restrained to his own family.
"Patriarch, what the Great Elder said is right, it doesn't make sense, I'm young and ignorant, it's not suitable." Wu Yuan took the initiative to say.
He didn't want to be an elder.
"Haha, if you don't have the ability to do anything, don't you want to join the main sect, and you don't even want to serve as an elder?" Patriarch Wu Mao smiled and said, "This Council of Elders is the Council of Elders of the entire Wu Clan, not the Council of Elders of the Main Sect. ”
Wu Yuan looked at the other party and smiled.
I didn't know how to refuse for a while.
"This matter, let's decide it for the time being." Wu Mao made the final decision, and everyone in the Wu family looked at each other, and no one dared to object.
In the clan, Wu Mao has long been accustomed to his words.
"The outstanding children of the Wu clan are all rewarded, regardless of the main sect branch." Wu Mao said with a smile: "Wu Yuan, once you officially join the sect, the entire Wu clan will jointly give 'ten thousand taels of silver' every year for your cultivation needs." ”
"Patriarch, you don't have to." Wu Yuan was slightly startled.
"Don't be too little, I'll hold another council of elders and add as much as I can." Patriarch Wu Mao said with a smile: "Don't worry, although my Wu clan is not a big clan, but you need to cultivate, you will definitely do your best, is it possible that you have to refuse this?" ”
"This is not provided by the Wu Clan's main sect, but the entire Wu Clan, unless, you don't think you are a member of the Wu Clan." Wu Mao shook his head.
Wu Yuan was dumbfounded.
The hundreds of Wu clan people on the side were already dumbfounded, 20,000 years of silver a year? Oh, my God!
In their cognition, Wu Yuan is just a little martial artist!
Can you spend so much money in a year?
"Patriarch, thank you." Wu Yuan said slowly.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Wu Mao is a second-rate master and the head of a big clan, such a posture, if he still expresses dissatisfaction, it will be too much.
"Wu Yuan, I know the reason for your hesitation." Wu Mao smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, the sect branch has changed flags, and it has been a common thing since ancient times." ”
"I promise you."
"When you become a second grade, when you are the patriarch of the sect, the Wu clan who leaves the city is the main sect of my Wu clan!" Wu Mao said solemnly.
Dumbfounded.
Yun Hong looked at Wu Mao with some surprise, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.
Sect branch change?
Yes, that's a common thing!
But in most cases, it is the branch of a large clan that stands on its own and finally completely surpasses the original main sect, rather than the main sect voluntarily abdicating.
Just like the struggle for the throne, there have been many usurpers and seizing power since ancient times, which emperor is willing to abdicate?
"Patriarch, no!"
"No!" The faces of several elders changed.
The change of clan is the nightmare of any clan's main clan.
"I'm the patriarch, and I have an opinion on this matter, and I'll raise it at the elders' meeting." Wu Mao turned his head, his gaze was sharp, and he swept over the hundreds of people of the Wu clan.
Everyone was quiet.
"Wu Yuan, what do you think is good?" Wu Mao looked at Wu Yuan again, his gaze was gentle again, and he looked like the two of them just now.
