Chapter 162: The Suspicion of the Two Elders
"Today, the younger generation of my Zhou family gathered in the ancestral land, which is to compete for the first person of the younger generation!"
"This strongest person can not only become the new patriarch, but also have a treasure to take his cultivation to the next level!"
The square in the ancestral city of the Zhou clan can be described as crowded with people at this moment, and the old man who announced the major resolution is Zhou Tao, the acting patriarch of the Zhou clan.
This Zhou Tao is not only the acting patriarch, but also the representative of the branch, and the fourth elder of the Zhou clan.
Zhou Tao's middle-aged man looks very dignified and majestic, and his cultivation is unfathomable, and it is said that he has already broken through the Spirit King realm.
On the high platform of the square, there were eleven high-ranking elders sitting at this moment.
Two of the elders sitting at the front attracted the attention of Zhou Fan in the crowd.
They were two old men with extraordinary bearing, all of them had crane hair and childish faces, and their skin was ruddy and shiny, giving people a feeling of residing and skillful.
The two old men not only looked young, but their cultivation was also unfathomable, as thick as the sea.
"That's Great Elder Zhou Tai! and Second Elder Zhou Song! ”
Just when Zhou Fan was secretly looking at the two old men, Zhou Yitong beside him whispered to explain to him that the one who was slightly fatter was the Great Elder, and the one who looked thin was the Second Elder.
In fact, all the elders on the high platform sat in order, and it was not difficult to distinguish their respective identities.
"Our Zhou clan doesn't have a patriarch?"
Zhou Fan took advantage of the discussion among the people in the square, talking about the competition and the selection of the new patriarch, and asked Zhou Yitong beside him in a low voice.
"Extraordinary big brother! Our Zhou clan has not elected a patriarch for a hundred years, and the elders are all working on their own! ”
Zhou Yitong explained in Zhou Fan's ear in a whisper!
"What are you two doing?"
"What a guts! I am simply shameless to dare to speak to me on such an occasion! ”
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and the noisy square suddenly became silent.
Everyone looked at each other, only to find that the person who scolded was Zhou Lang in the crowd.
And the people who Zhou Lang scolded were naturally Zhou Fan and Zhou Yitong.
The two of them were whispering, so they were closer, and it did look like they were talking to me in the square.
"Presumptuous! Such a sacred place cannot allow a junior to be defiled! ”
"Someone! Grab them both for me! ”
At this time, the angry voice of the Twelfth Elder Zhou Cangrong sounded.
As his order fell, the guards in the distance had already sent several people forward.
"Stand down!"
"What grievances are there to keep on the competition platform, now is the time to register the number of people in the competition, don't disturb the order!"
Before those guards stepped forward to take Zhou Fan and Zhou Yitong away, the acting patriarch Zhou Tao had already spoken out to reprimand the twelve elders Zhou Cangrong.
Of course, he obviously had something to say, so Zhou Cangrong, whose face was a little ugly, hurriedly didn't dare to refute.
The Great Elder and the Second Elder didn't speak, and they didn't bother to care about such a trivial matter.
It's just that when the eyes of the two fell on Zhou Fan, a look of surprise flashed through them.
The two people who didn't pay much attention to Zhou Fan all fell on him with unkind eyes at this moment.
But Zhou Fan, who was sensitive, remained silent, pretending not to notice the gaze of the two.
All the young people in the square, both men and women, were registered by several deacons.
And Zhou Fan's gaze almost revealed his murderous intent and fell on a purple-robed deacon.
He recognized at a glance that the other party was the culprit who captured the little girl Zhou Ying in the forbidden place of the mine some time ago, brutally gouged out her eyes and carried out various cruel and inhumane experiments.
That anger didn't seem to depend only on his heart, and his eyes seemed to become hot, and the impulse to go wild was forcibly suppressed by Zhou Fan before it exploded.
He closed his eyes and tried to calm his emotions, now was not a good time to kill, if he dared to do it, the deacon might die, but he would also be attacked by the crowd.
"Boy! What do you do with your eyes closed? ”
"Hurry up and register!"
At this moment, a shout rang out.
When Zhou Fan suppressed the killing intent and opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the purple-robed deacon not far away.
The purple-robed deacon was staring at him impatiently at the moment, if it weren't for his duties, he probably wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Zhou Fan.
"Look at what, look!"
"If you don't roll over and register, you'll be disqualified from the competition!"
The attitude of the purple-robed deacon was very unfriendly, and when he saw that Zhou Fan had not taken the initiative to register, he couldn't help but scold him angrily.
The sudden situation on Zhou Fan's side attracted a lot of attention.
Zhou Lang in the crowd looked at Zhou Fan with a sneer, and stood there watching the play instead of falling into the well.
Zhou Fan, who wanted to make a fuss and was then punished and locked up, finally suppressed the idea of dying.
He had already sensed the Great Elder, and the Second Elder seemed to have noticed him, and his gaze would fall on him from time to time.
Therefore, he forcibly endured the killing intent of the purple-robed deacon, walked forward with his head down, took out the token, and informed the other party of the name and identity information registration.
"Zhou Bufan?"
"Humph! Your parents have a good name for you! ”
The purple-robed deacon looked at Zhou Fan with an unkind gaze, snorted coldly and complained a little.
If it weren't for the token to testify, he would definitely mistakenly think that Zhou Fan was entertaining him.
The purple-robed deacon didn't have a good impression of Zhou Fan, and he intuitively sensed that Zhou Fan seemed to be hostile to him.
Although it is inconvenient to do it in public, the two sentences of ridicule are normal operations for the purple-robed deacon.
Zhou Fan just walked back to the crowd in silence, he received his number plate sixty-six, and Zhou Yitong was ranked sixty-seven behind him.
There are thousands of young Zhou people in the square, and they all received their own number plates.
Those number plates may not be issued in order, but will be randomly scrambled to receive the number plates.
"It's all quiet!"
After several deacons issued number plates, the acting patriarch Zhou Tao let out a deep sigh to silence the noisy square completely.
"The number plate in your hand is related to the opponent of the big competition, if anyone loses the number plate, he will be directly disqualified from the competition!"
Zhou Tao's loud voice sounded, making many young people in the square feel awe-struck when they heard this, and they put away the tokens they were holding in their hands.
"Big Beat starts in three days! In the past few days, everyone has prepared and rested well to play their strongest combat power! ”
"Yes!"
"I'll remember!"
As soon as Zhou Tao's words of exhortation fell, the audience resounded one after another in response.
"This concludes today's clan meeting! The Hui people from the outside world can find empty courtyards to live in in the city! ”
Zhou Tao announced again, and when the words fell, the person had already flown away.
The other elders on the high platform also got up at this moment and turned into afterimages and disappeared.
Great Elder Zhou Tai and Second Elder Zhou Song, the two did not leave at the first time.
The two of them flashed to the square and landed beside Zhou Fan, and fell on him with scrutinizing eyes.
"What is the relationship between Zhou Daozhi and you?"
The Great Elder was the first to ask!
"Meet the Great Elder! Second Elder! ”
"Back to the second elder! I don't know anything! ”
Facing the question of the Great Elder Zhou Tai, Zhou Fan bowed to him and the Second Elder, and then shook his head to say that he did not know the person that the Great Elder was talking about.
"Presumptuous! You don't know the Third Elder Zhou Daozhi? ”
At this time, Second Elder Zhou Song scolded, staring at Zhou Fan with unkind eyes as if he wanted to see his horse's feet.
"Second Elder! I really don't know the Third Elder, and I don't know his honorable name! ”
"I only had the opportunity to meet you two elders today! And the other elders in the Elder Table! ”
Zhou Fan replied very politely!
He still had a flat expression, and there was not the slightest change in emotion on his face, which made the Great Elder Zhou Tai and the Second Elder Zhou Song all frown.
Zhou Tai didn't seem to give up, so he asked Zhou Fan if he knew Zhou Hong or Ye Lan.
Zhou Fan just shook his head slightly, still with an unchanged face.
The Great Elder and the Second Elder were cunning like ghosts, and the two of them were not only secretly observing the changes in Zhou Fan's expression, but also secretly watching the changes in Zhou Yitong's expression beside them.
Fortunately, Zhou Yitong didn't know Zhou Fan's true identity, nor did he know that Zhou Hong and Ye Lan in the mouth of the Great Elder were Zhou Fan's parents.
"Maybe we've mistaken someone! Let's go! ”
After failing to see Zhou Fan's flaws, Great Elder Zhou Tai finally let Zhou Fan go.
"Thank you, Great Elder, Second Elder!"
"I'll retire!"
Zhou Fan was still polite, and only turned around and left after bowing to the two elders.
Zhou Yitong hurriedly followed and left, and the square was gradually empty, and finally the Great Elder Zhou Tai and the Second Elder Zhou Song were left.
"A junior is not to be afraid! Whether it was related to the Third Elder or not, he couldn't set off the slightest storm! ”
Zhou Song's deep voice sounded, and he didn't seem to care much about Zhou Fan's identity.
"Beware of the Ten Thousand Year Ship! Don't forget that Zhou Daozhi's old thing isn't dead yet! ”
"This time deprive that little girl of the purple pupils on her corpse, but because we have chips!"
"If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again, maybe we can use that kid to completely solve the ...... of the thoughtful way"
Great Elder Zhou Tai obviously had something to say, and his proposal made Second Elder Zhou Song, who was about to leave, pause.
"I still have to discuss this matter with Zhou Tao!"
"We're on our own! But this kind of thing can't be hidden from him, in order to prevent him from making small moves behind his back to put on small shoes for us, everyone should give advice! ”
The second elder can be said to be scheming, and he knows that Zhou Tao also wants to get rid of the third elder Zhou Daozhi.
Now Zhou Daozhi's son and daughter-in-law have all taken the initiative to send them to the door, if even his grandson is served in a pot, there will be really excitement to watch at that time.
"Huh! You old guy is full of benevolence and morality on weekdays, I can't imagine that this heart is darker than me! ”
"Humph! What kind of goods do you yourself know? ”
"Drilling in the grove with your daughter-in-law all day long, do you think we don't know?"
Great Elder Zhou Taigang taunted Second Elder Zhou Song, and Zhou Song snorted coldly and directly ridiculed him.
"You're looking for death!"
Zhou Tai was most annoyed that his private affairs were revealed, and he instantly became angry and slapped Zhou Song directly with his palm.
"I'm afraid you won't make it!"
Although Zhou Song ranked second, his combat power was not lost to the Great Elder.
The two of them moved their hands in the square in an instant, which frightened many of the people who were wandering outside the square and fled away from the battlefield as if they were fleeing for their lives.
