Chapter 2, the family is unfortunate, and there is a hidden mystery
The five deacons, all of whom were now black-faced, looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and their expressions, together with the black ink, caused everyone present to laugh. Even the Heavenly Ruler Sect Master on the high platform was stunned by Zhuo Ping'an's operation.
In fact, the five deacons are all in the star realm, and it is impossible for them to avoid Zhuo Ping'an's stroke, but why can they all hide from the broken wood of Fang Cai?
Maybe there's something else going on.
"Zhuo Ping'an, Longbi Bingshu, don't pass!" The Great Elder stood up from the high platform, his face was rather gloomy at the moment, and his voice echoed in the square.
"Sect Master! Zhuo Ping'an passed 3 assessments, none of which passed. According to the rules of the sect, you must kick out the sect, exile the Burial God Mountain Range, and let it fend for itself......" I saw that on the high platform, the black-haired old man saluted the sect master, and his voice seemed to be echoing in the square.
"Presumptuous! Second Elder! Didn't you hear what I just said? Zhuo Ping'an today, whether he passes or not, he is the core disciple of my Tianqi Sect! "The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect slapped the table and stood up, shouting at the black-haired old man.
"Sect Master! If this is done, the disciples of the sect will regard the rules of the sect as nothing, and in that case, the demise of the sect will not be far away! I hope the sect master thinks twice! The black-haired old man, known as the Second Elder, was not afraid of danger and still insisted on his opinion.
"The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people! The Son of Heaven broke the law ......" in the square, I don't know who shouted again, so everyone began to shout in unison again.
"Uncle Wang! Don't be embarrassed, it's me who is too wasteful! Please expel me from the sect! Although Zhuo Ping'an is only 12 years old, he also understands some truths. Now, if the sect master insists on going his own way and ignoring the rules of the sect, then the final result will be unacceptable to anyone. In particular, as the head of a sect, the safety of the sect must always be the priority. Moreover, although Zhuo Ping'an is playful and naughty, he is still very affectionate and righteous to his loved ones.
"Peace! It's okay, this sect was founded by your father. Even if you perish, it's worth it! The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect stroked the top of Zhuo Ping'an's head, squatted down, and hugged Zhuo Ping'an. It seems that Zhuo Ping'an, because he has grown up a lot in this assessment, he is very pleased.
"The conference, it's over! Meeting! If anyone dares to talk about it, this is the end! The Sect Master of the Tianqi Sect said, and with a flicker, he came to the front of the two elders, his sword fell, and the cyan blade of light slashed, only to see the stone pillar carved dragon in the distance, which instantly became two.
For a moment, the square fell silent again. The second elder also had beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect looked around the square, took Zhuo Ping'an's hand, and walked towards his residence. Zhuo Ping'an looked at this majestic back, and tears flowed uncontrollably in his eyes.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, there was a slow commotion in the square.
"Alas! This Zhuo Yangxin, if he knew that the Acting Sect Master was so good to his son, he would be able to turn a blind eye. It's a pity that this Zhuo Ping'an can't support the wall with mud! In the square, an elder said to the people around him.
"Not really! A sect master, for his sake, he didn't care about the rules of the sect, look at the stone pillar. This is enough to see that Zhuo Yang has made a good brother......"
"Humph! This Zhuo Ping'an, who saved the world in his last life? He just burned down my chicken coop the other day......"
"That's right, this one who has suffered a thousand knives, feed my old cow chili peppers......"
"What's that? He gave my black dog an aphrodisiac, and rubbed it against the tree at the head of the village all day, and the hair on his belly was all gone......"
……
In the square, everyone was talking about it until dusk, and then it dispersed.
The bright moon is hanging high, and people are talking at home about today's assessment. Talking about that bright star, Gao Tang, always makes everyone envious, and they all say that giving birth to a child should be like this. Of course, whenever he talks about Zhuo Ping'an, he will show his irrepressible anger. What everyone said the most was that Zhuo Ping'an was not worthy of the love of the sect master.
Of course, this may also be because Zhuo Ping'an's life experience is envied by everyone, which gives rise to human nature - jealousy.
Tianqi Sect, in the Cloud Palace, the lights are bright. The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect sat on a luxurious chair, half-reclining, and on one side, it was Zhuo Ping'an.
"Peace, did your father say anything important to you! This will help us find your father's murderer. For example, are there any valuable things, or weapons? The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect asked.
"My father didn't say anything important to me when he was alive. But his favorite place to go is Simu Pavilion, where he will play a flute every day. "The death of his father is a sad sorrow that is difficult to soothe for Zhuo Ping'an, hearing that it is conducive to finding the murderer, Zhuo Ping'an thought for a while and said.
"Hmmm! Peace, your father and I are brothers in life and death, and he has risked his life to save me many times. Even your senior sister Wang Xiaoxiang was snatched back from the Pterodactyl Clan. I am also saddened by his death, and I will definitely find the murderer and avenge him. It's getting dark, and I'll have someone send you back. If you think of something important, come to me. "The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect seemed to have expected Zhuo Ping'an's answer a long time ago.
"Uncle Wang, thank you!" Zhuo Ping'an's eyes were full of gratitude.
Subsequently, the sect master called a deacon and sent Zhuo Ping'an out of the Cloud Palace. For a while, the silence in the empty hall was terrifying.
"Come out!" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect looked at a dark place and said.
"Sect Master!" I saw a dark-haired old man walk out of the dark place, and it turned out to be the second elder.
"Sect Master, what are you looking for me?" After the man walked out, he clenched his fists at the Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect and asked.
"Hmm. O O Honor! How many years have you been in the Heavenly Ruler Sect? The Heavenly Ruler Sect Master asked.
"Sect Master, since Zhuo Yangxin and you founded the sect in the Tianqi Sect, it has been twenty years!" The second elder pondered for a while and replied.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect stood up from his seat and came to the side of the Second Elder. After circling around him twice, he hesitated a little and said, "You have also seen that the sect is not in harmony, and it is divided into two factions, one faction headed by me, and the other faction headed by Zhuo Yangxin." Now, Zhuo Yangxin has been assassinated, and their faction intends to elect Zhuo Ping'an as the new sect master. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, for the stability of the sect and the unity of the sect. I want to borrow something from you! ”
"Oh?" When the second elder heard this, he frowned and continued to ask, "What is it?" ”
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect looked at the eyes of the Second Elder and said without emotion: "Life!" ”
"Ahh Sect Master, I am loyal to you in the Tianqi Sect, twenty years of companionship, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, why does the Sect Master suddenly want to borrow the life of the old man! The second elder panicked for a moment, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"I don't mean to borrow your life, but ......" As soon as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Ruler Sect flicked his sleeves, the Second Elder was helped up by a cyan light cluster, and then he brought his mouth closer to the Second Elder.
"This? The Sect Master ...... "The Second Elder was just about to say something, but the Sect Master interrupted him. I saw that the sect master leaned over to the second elder's ear again and whispered a few words.
After listening to the sect master's words, Gao Zun was silent for a long time.
After a pillar of incense......
"For the unity of the sect, for the great cause of the sect! It's a small sacrifice. It's a pity that he has talent! The second elder looked at the sect master, his face full of piety.
"His talent? You don't know my intention of looking for your son Gao Fengxiao as the examiner of the Star Stone Assessment? After more than ten years of operation, now everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed. His life is this east wind! The sect master patted Gao Zun on the shoulder, he understood that making such a decision was enough to show the loyalty of the second elder to him.
"Yes! Suzerain! The second elder said with a sad face. He vaguely knew that his grandson's talent was actually not so good, and he was really surprised that the results in today's assessment were so good. If it weren't for his son's actions, his grandson's talent would be really terrifying. It's impossible to think about it, after all, his grandson, but he grew up watching him, he has the kind of talent that is proud of the mainland, how can he not know. Thinking of this, the second elder was in a slightly better mood.
"You know, Zhuo Xinyang's death is my biggest pain. To this day, I still don't have a clue about the murderer. I expected that the Great Elder would definitely make a fuss about Zhuo Yangxin's cause of death. It just so happened that Zhuo Yangxin was assassinated by a gun weapon, and the entire sect, you and I used a gun weapon. If it weren't for the coincidence, I would have thought that this must have been deliberately framed by the Great Elder. Therefore, we must find the murderer in front of the Great Elders, or have the absolute right to speak in the sect. Otherwise, you and I will have no place in this sect. The sect master looked at the appearance of the second elder and knew that he was not feeling good in his heart, so he said.
"That'...... What is the arrangement of the Sect Master? The second elder paced back and forth in the main hall for a while, and seemed to understand some truth, so he asked.
When the Second Elder asked, the Sect Master's frowning brows just now seemed to stretch a lot, and he came to the Second Elder's side, approached his ear, and said, "That's ......."
After listening to the sect master's arrangement, the second elder clenched his fists and said, "I hope the sect master will not break his promise." ”
Watching the Second Elder walk out of the Cloud Palace, the Sect Master returned to his seat. He took a sip of water and looked at the main hall with a smile on his face, as if everything was going according to his plan.
It was also in that dark place that a black-robed man left the Cloud Hall lightly.
In the Kunxi Palace, the Great Elder sat with his eyes closed, the lights in the hall were bright, this Kunxi Hall was obviously not as big as the Cloud Palace, and even the lights were much less. Suddenly, there was a hurried voice outside the door, and when the Great Elder opened his eyes, it turned out to be a deacon, and he hurriedly walked into the house, as if he had something important to discuss with the Great Elder.
"Sun Mou, what did you find?" The Grand Elder jumped up from his chair and walked quickly towards the deacon, asking as he went.
"Great Elder! I really found a lot of things! Maybe the case is about to surface! The deacon named Sun Mou clenched his fists, and his face was full of excitement.
"Oh? Let's talk about it! The Great Elder couldn't wait to ask.
"First, the courtyard of the Zhuo family is often patrolled by disciples, and this person can sneak into the courtyard between disciple patrols, which means that this person is familiar with the patrol time of the sect, so the person who assassinated him may be from the sect, and it cannot be an outsider, even if the outsider has been investigating for a long time, it has already been discovered by us; Second, I saw Zhuo Yangxin's wound, which was wounded by a spear in the neck, and our sect belongs to the Sword Sect, and there are only three people who use guns, namely Zhuo Yangxin, Sect Master Wang Chang, and Second Elder Gao Zun; Third, Zhuo Yangxin turned out to be a strong general, even if the Star Mansion was abolished, his physical body could be entangled with people in the Star Realm for a while, but looking at his dead appearance, there were no traces of fighting and struggling, indicating that this person may be an acquaintance, and assassinating him without defense can kill him with one blow; Fourth, this person may have the strength above the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he can also kill with one hit. "The person named Sun Mou, facing the Great Elder, was a burst of analysis. The two also sat down on a chair on one side of the temple.
"Meaning! The murderer is between the sect master and the second elder? After hearing this, the Great Elder's face was slightly gloomy.
"There may be two reasons why the sect master killed Zhuo Yangxin. First, under the command of the Protoss; Second, Zhuo Yangxin is very smart, he doesn't die, and many of the sect master's plans may be discovered. Now that there are two sects of the sect, the sect master has long wanted to exclude dissidents, and some of the previous plans have been seen through by Zhuo Yangxin, which caused us to prepare in advance. Now that he is dead, it is difficult for us to see through his plan, after all, Wang Chang was Zhuo Yangxin's military advisor back then, but I believe that his purpose must be to unify the sect. If the two elders were killed, there were two possibilities, the first was that they were instructed by the sect master, after all, they belonged to the same lineup; Second, maybe for Zhuo Yangxin's gun, only when Zhuo Yangxin dies can he have the opportunity to search Zhuo's house. Sun Mou continued.
"However, no matter what the situation, as long as we have evidence, we can bring down the surrogate master. At that time, Zhuo Ping'an became the sect master, and the balance would naturally tilt in our favor. But in today's assessment, the sect master's attitude towards Zhuo Ping'an was afraid that after Zhuo Ping'an became the sect master, he still listened to Wang Chang's words very much. Sun Mou touched his chin, his face solemn.
"That's what I'm worried about. After all, he is just a child, and whoever gives sugar is a father. After listening to Sun Mou's analysis, the Great Elder seemed to understand something. In fact, he had doubts for a long time, but after hearing Sun Mou's analysis, he was still a little incredulous. At the same time, there are some concerns.
"The sect patrols are all arranged by the second elder, so he can avoid patrols. If an acquaintance comes to visit, Zhuo Yangxin will naturally not be guarded. Moreover, he is in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he can kill with one hit. And the weapon used by Gao Zun is also a seven-star gun! In the end, no matter whether the second elder was for the gun or obeyed the sect master's orders, he had enough motive to kill! Sun took a sip of tea and tapped on the table a little while analyzing.
"One last point! It has been more than ten years since Zhuo Yangxin was abolished Star Mansion! Two years after Zhuo Yangxin was abolished in the Star Mansion, the two factions that today were gradually formed. Wouldn't it be better if they took advantage of the fact that the sect was not divided and killed people and grabbed guns at that time? But they have to do it now. Sun seemed to have thought of something, and his face was full of doubts.
"Hahaha! You've been in the sect for too short! I don't know what the suzerain is like. I don't know the relationship between the sect master and Zhuo Yangxin. I don't understand it, Zhuo Yangxin's prestige in the Tianqi Sect! It's a smart move to do it now! The Great Elder also had his own thoughts in his heart, he stroked his beard and smiled at Sun Mou.
"Huh? ......" Sun Mou was about to ask deeply, when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Knock knock" saw a deacon standing at the door, knocked on the door, saw the elder, arched his hand.
"Visiting late at night, what is the matter with Deacon Yang?" Before the deacon could enter the door, Sun Mou just asked.
"Great Elder! The sect master said that tomorrow at noon, the sect leader re-election meeting will be held in the Houshan Yang Shu Pavilion! All elders are invited to attend. Deacon Yang walked in and respectfully handed a splendid scroll to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder took the Splendid Scroll, looked at it a few times, and after confirming that it was Wang Chang's character and seal, he asked, "Why did you choose Yangshu Pavilion and not in the Cloud Palace?" ”
"Back to the Great Elder, the sect master said that this pre-meeting, that mysterious person will also participate! The conference is not only a re-election of the sect leader, but also his investigation of the cause of Zhuo Yang's new death. "Deacon Young returned.
The Great Elder nodded, signaling that Deacon Yang was already clear.
Seeing Deacon Yang walk away, the Great Elder also let Sun Mou leave the Kunxi Palace, and he sat on the chair and closed his eyes and thought.
There's so much that's happened lately. First Zhuo Yangxin was assassinated, and then Zhuo Ping'an failed the assessment, at this juncture, Wang Chang was going to hold a conference again, and even the mysterious old man was invited. All this is very bad for yourself.
At the beginning, Zhuo Yangxin was abolished in the Star Mansion, and Wang Chang was going to re-elect the sect master. Fortunately, the mysterious person appeared, and asked Wang Chang to give Zhuo Yang a new 12 years, if Zhuo Ping'an's assessment is not excellent, he will personally sit in the town and re-elect the sect master of the Tianqi Sect.
Later, Zhuo Yangxin trusted Wang Chang a lot and let him serve as the acting sect leader of the Tianqi Sect, and he was worried about alcohol every day.
Now that 12 years have passed, Zhuo Ping'an's assessment results have also come out, and it is indeed time to re-elect the next sect master.
Fortunately, the mysterious old man was on Zhuo Yangxin's side. This is currently the only point in my favor.
After thinking about it so much, the Great Elder also felt tired. He took two sips of cold tea and walked towards his lodgings.
In the Lunan Temple, the second elder was full of sorrow and sighed to the sky.
After a while, he returned to the clan, and in the ancestral hall, he set up a tablet, only to see that it was written: "The tablet of the virtuous grandson is high." ”
If Gao Tang sees it, he will definitely think that his grandfather is old and upside down (the common name of Alzheimer's disease).
In the courtyard of the Zhuo family.
Zhuo Qianye wiped the wounds on Zhuo Ping'an's body, with a distressed face. The old man Zhuo Ping'an was three years younger than himself in front of him, but his sister was so attentive, and his heart was warm.
"This high entanglement is a thousand knives, and he beats his brother like this!" Zhuo Qianye muttered as he wiped it.
Zhuo Ping'an smiled, but he had a plan in his heart: "Tomorrow, I will definitely teach you a lesson!" ”
