Chapter 9: The Turmoil Before the Acceptance of Disciples
Shili Village, village ancestral hall.
The old village chief sat in the ancestral hall with a serious face, and the village elders were invited into the ancestral hall one by one, until the last clan elder sat down, and some people began to ask about the reason for inviting them to come over to discuss the matter.
The old village chief first glanced at Liu Cheng, who was pretending to be an invisible person behind him, before clearing his throat and speaking: "If this matter is not very important, how dare I bother the clan elders to go through this experience?" ”
All of them are old people with a lot of prestige in the village, and at this moment, there is also a hint of meaning from the attitude of the village chief, I am afraid that what he will say next is really a big thing, and he has raised his spirit.
The old village chief was very satisfied with their attitude, so he simply asked directly: "I wonder if you clan elders have ever remembered the incident of the appearance of the Divine Mountain a hundred years ago?" ”
"Who doesn't know this? If it weren't for the appearance of the sacred mountain out of thin air, Ling Zeshui was diverted, and brought vitality to Nanyang, I am afraid that you and my uncle and brother would have left their hometowns a hundred years ago. "There is an elderly man who remembers the scene of drought for many years when he was a child, and when he recalls it now, he still looks afraid.
The old village chief took in the changes in everyone's demeanor and sighed silently.
"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and what I want to talk about this time is related to the sacred mountain......
The clan elders don't know why, you look at me, I look at you.
"But the sacred mountain is going to disappear?" Someone was shocked.
"It's not!" The old village chief simply interrupted him directly.
"And why?"
The old village chief was tired, considering that everyone was not young and could not be frightened, so he had to explain, "I don't know if you remember that a hundred years ago, the folk search for immortals prevailed? This is what it has to do with it. ”
"But hasn't this trend long been curbed by the monarch? Could it be that what you want to say has something to do with fairy fate? ”
Seeing that someone had finally gone to the road, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Exactly!" ”
For a time, the minds of the people were different, some who believed, and some who did not believe at all.
"You said that this matter is related to the fairy fate, what is the matter?"
The old village chief glanced at the person who asked out loud, it was the patriarch of the Zhao family's Shili Village.
Seeing that everyone was also looking at him, he didn't answer directly, but pushed out Liu Cheng, who had almost no sense of existence on the side, "Brother Cheng will tell you about this." ”
Liu Cheng didn't sell Guan Zi either, and after saluting, he said: "This matter is a long story, but now that time is pressing, the kid will make a long story short." ”
"About a few days ago, the kid received a letter from a friend in Fucheng, which said that Lord Song of Mingzhou had received the will of the royal court, and that an immortal master would come to Xinchuan in the near future to recruit disciples, so that Lord Song would prepare early and collect school-age teenagers in the state in advance, so as to wait for the immortal master to choose an apprentice."
"Shhhh
When everyone present heard this, they all gasped.
In the end, it was Patriarch Zhao who asked with blazing eyes, "Is this true?" ”
"The kid would never dare to lie."
"Is there a time limit?"
"Because it was several days later when the boy received the letter, and he did not receive any news from the city after that. The boy calculated and found that it was less than ten days before the day his friend said, so he hurried back to the village, hoping that the village would make plans as soon as possible. ”
These words were affectionate and righteous, and everyone present had a soaring good impression of him.
"Good! Shili Village is really fortunate to have such a good future life as you! Patriarch Zhao slapped his hands on the table, and only after praising did he look at the old village chief, "Village chief, you see that time is pressing now, what charter does the village have to come up with?" ”
The village chief has already thought of a countermeasure, "You go home first, gather your respective clansmen to inform you of this matter, if you don't want to, don't force it, wait for the number of people to be counted tonight, and tomorrow the village people will lead the team to the dock and take a passenger boat to Xinchuan!" ”
