Chapter 255: Transfer of power, rectification of clan customs
Su Ziming, who had cultivated steadily, walked out of the cave mansion and happened to see a lonely figure standing in the strong wind outside the cave mansion.
Striding forward, Su Ziming did not become arrogant because he became a Jindan monk, and respectfully hugged his fists and said, "Grandpa has seen grandpa." ”
"Hahahaha."
"Ziming, with your identity as a real person, you are enough to be promoted to become the elder of the family, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, you don't have to salute me in the future."
Although Su Changze was laughing heartily, Su Ziming sensed a sad look in his eyes.
Su Ziming couldn't help but ask the reason.
Although Su Changze's face was a little hesitant, he couldn't stand Su Ziming's repeated questions, and finally choked up and said, "The Great Elder is gone." ”
"What."
Seeing Su Changze's expression, Su Ziming's face suddenly froze, and all kinds of mixed emotions came to his heart for a while.
Su Ziming subconsciously reacted: "This... That's impossible! ”
Seeing Su Ziming's painful expression, Su Changze followed with a wry smile and said, "The Great Elder is already over two hundred and forty years old, and he has long exceeded the limit of a foundation building monk, and this time he forcibly made a move when resisting the beast tide, exhausting the last trace of yang energy in his body. ”
"The Great Elder didn't see you for the last time, because he was afraid of disturbing your solid foundation and affecting your future cultivation."
Hearing Su Changze's words, Su Ziming's face gradually calmed down, and his eyes revealed perseverance.
After being silent for a long time, in the howling wind, Su Ziming raised his head and said, "I know, Grandpa took me to see the Great Elder one last time." ”
"Okay."
Su Changze replied very simply.
Now that Su Shichang is gone, Su Changze is the new Great Elder of the Su family; As the great elder of the family, he will have to shoulder half of the burden of revitalizing the Su family.
As the Great Elder of the Su Family, a Great Elder who witnessed the rise of the Su Family to become the overlord of Nan Qianzhou, he silently made immeasurable contributions to the family.
Like the clansmen who have made outstanding contributions to the Su family in the past, Su Shichang was buried in the Su Family Meritorious Mausoleum on Qingjiao Island.
There are two ancestral tombs of the Su family, both of which are on Qingjiao Island, the land of the old people, one is the ancestral tomb of the Su family, and the other is the tomb of merit.
Buried in the Tomb of Merit are the ancestors of the Su family, the clansmen who have made great contributions and died in the war for the clan.
Arriving at the tomb of the Great Elder, looking at the simple and solemn three big characters on the tombstone, the past instantly surfaced in Su Ziming's mind.
In the first few years of cultivation, whenever he got into a big disaster, his grandfather Su Changshou would have a coffin face, and this strange grandfather was always so scared that he didn't dare to go back.
In the bleak wind and rain, there will always be an old man in a white robe with a kind face who stands up to shield him from the wind and rain.
The Great Elder had no children under his knees, and most of the spirit stones he had accumulated were taken out to reward the young monks who had cultivated hard in the family academy, and the Great Elder never hesitated to reward them, regardless of their qualifications.
……
In front of the tombstone, Su Ziming couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
The past is like yesterday, looking back at the old people.
The wishes of the ancestors have not been fulfilled, and the children and grandchildren will remember their hearts.
No longevity, when it is loess.
Generations go against the sky, in exchange for a new sunrise.
Su Ziming carved eight lines of characters on the ground, and then wrote the two big characters "Xingzu".
Then his body took four steps back, and he knelt down and kowtowed.
After meeting the Great Elder Su Shichang, Su Ziming visited Su Changhao, Su Changfeng, Su Changfu, Su Changmian and other elders who had passed away from his uncle's generation one by one.
In the bleak wind, Su Ziming's mood was extremely heavy, and before he knew it, the burden of the family had fallen on the shoulders of the Zizi clansmen.
Su Ziming secretly made an oath in his heart that he would definitely shoulder the burden of revitalizing the Su family and escort the Su family on the road to the development of the immortal family.
After worshipping the elders, Su Ziming, who returned to Nanjiao Peak, heard the bad news again, and the seventh grandmother Su Changsi couldn't do it.
Su Ziming hurriedly went to meet for the last time.
Two months later, Su Changping from the family school couldn't hold on, and Su Ziming also walked with a heavy face.
Now there is only one patriarch Su Shi'an left in the family lineage, and most of the elders who have not built a foundation are old, and there are only thirty or forty people left.
With the two heirs of the clan beginning to retreat and impact the foundation, it represents the replacement of the old and the new in the family, and the era of the generation of the generation and the elder generation has gradually come to an end.
As the new Great Elder of the Su family, Su Changze has a soft spot for alchemy, but he is very rusty when dealing with clan affairs.
The Su family is in the rapid development stage of integrating the resources of Nanqianzhou, and the affairs of the clan are complicated, which keeps Su Changze busy.
The only remaining foundation building monks in the clan, Su Changshou and Su Changqing, all have important matters to do, and Su Cunyi is also far away as the head of the family in the borderland.
Faced with the situation that no one was available, Su Changze adopted the strategy of driving ducks to the shelves, and forcibly pulled the two elders Su Cunxiao and Su Cunya to assist in handling the affairs of the clan.
However, the development of the matter exceeded Su Changze's expectations, and there was opposition within the family for a while, and after several bullets, the matter became more and more intense.
The reason given by the opponents is very clear, Su Cunxiao is a disciple of the Tianhai Sect, he has betrayed the sect, and he is definitely not a faithful person.
The reason for opposing Su Cunya in the clan is more direct, a female generation is in power, where is the prestige of the Su family?
Seeing the frequent chaos within the clan, and even a young foundation building monk came to force the palace, Su Changze tasted the difficulty of being in charge.
Sitting on the high platform of the main hall, looking down on the noisy hall, Su Changze's heart couldn't help but feel sad, and two tears couldn't help but slip from the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle Shichang, Changhao, if you are in the Su family, why are you here!"
Suddenly, Su Changze restrained the frustration on his face, and took out the bag that Su Shichang left for him before he died.
Slowly opened, there were only four words left in the bag - no love.
Su Changze's eyes suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Please invite Elder Changshou, Elder Changqing, and Elder Ziming Taishang to come to the council hall." ”
As soon as these words came out, the monks in the entire council hall were completely silent, and they all cast puzzled glances in the direction of the main seat.
At this moment, Su Changshou and Su Changqing came together, which surprised everyone in the hall.
After Su Changze was briefly surprised, he got up and greeted him: "Hahaha, our brothers are really of the same heart and one mind." ”
The three of them stepped forward and hugged each other, and Su Changshou sighed with emotion: "What the eldest brother said is that these juniors are still too young, and the Su family needs to have us old guys to support them." ”
Su Changqing then made a stand and said: "Who dares to jump out and make trouble when the family is in danger, I, Su Changqing, will be the first to refuse!" ”
"My nephew is willing to kill all the people who are in trouble for the Su family." Su Cunya, Su Cunxiao, and Su Cunbin have expressed their positions.
Su Changze represents the alchemy faction and the power of relatives, Su Changshou represents the idle faction and Nanjiaocheng, Su Changqing represents the hidden vein and various family branches, Su Cunya is the representative of the female cultivator, and Su Cunxiao inherits Su Changhao's conservative forces.
Seeing that the five giants had reached an agreement, all of a sudden, the entire council hall became audible.
Several of the newly promoted foundation building monks of the Su family who took the lead in making trouble had already resigned in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, a coercion suddenly erupted from Su Changze's body.
Then a gloomy voice rang out.
"The unfortunate death of the Great Elder Shichang and the grief of the whole clan, coincided with the turmoil of the family, as a foundation building monk and a family example, but some people are doing illegal things, bullying the weak, oppressing the clansmen, and corrupting the family."
"Su Cunrong!"
"In..."
A ninety-year-old monk stood up tremblingly.
Su Changze was stunned, and threw the jade slip in his hand to Su Changqing.
After Su Changqing picked up the jade slip in his hand and looked at it, he said sharply: "Su Cunrong, as the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, accepted bribes and shielded the clansmen to do many illegal things in Nanqianzhou during his tenure, and ruined the family's style. ”
"Punishment: Deprive the Law Enforcement Hall of the status of the deputy hall master, and go to overseas islands to guard the veins for the family for ten years!"
Under the majestic gaze, Su Cunrong kowtowed and said, "Clansman Su Cunrong receives the punishment." ”
Su Changqing held the jade slip in his hand and continued to pronounce the verdict: "Su Zimo, a member of the Zhuji clan, has repeatedly deducted the clansmen's fortunes and filled his private pockets. ”
"Punishment: Deprivation of the status of the deacon of the house, a fine of three years, and double the return of the deducted resources."
Another figure stood up and kowtowed: "Clansman Su Zimo receives the punishment." ”
……
As the crimes committed by the clansmen behind him became bigger and bigger, Su Changqing's whole person was trembling with anger.
"Su Ziren, a member of the Zhuji clan, is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, suppresses dissidents, forms gangs, robs juniors, and colludes with outsiders to kill the lives of his clansmen many times."
"Punishment: Abolish cultivation, Zuling repents."
"I'm not convinced!"
A young figure suddenly turned around and fled towards the outside of the main hall.
"Presumptuous."
Su Changze suddenly made a move, and he actually sucked back a foundation building monk with his strong strength.
Su Ziren, who was sucked back, looked panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Ancestor, grandson is willing to guard the island for the family for the rest of his life." ”
"You're not qualified!"
Su Changze decisively refused and colluded with outsiders to kill the clansmen, such a person is no longer a matter of virtue for his own selfish desires, but has risen to disloyalty to the family.
Lack of virtue and ability can make up for it, but the white-eyed wolf who is disloyal to the family must not stay!
With a miserable scream resounding in the council hall, Su Ziren became the first member of the foundation building period to be deposed in the past hundred years.
Su Ziren's tragic situation was right in front of him, and for a while, the entire council hall became silent, and the eyes of the Zhuji monk were full of fear.
With the severe punishment of the seven clansmen in the foundation building period, Su Changze's prestige in the clan increased rapidly.
With the support of the elders, Su Changze overwhelmed everyone with the strength of the false Dan period and successfully completed the transfer of power.
The Su family is determined!
