Chapter 273: The Elder Corps
It turns out that the monks in the chaotic Falling Moon City may not be for Tang Chuyang, but the Divine Monument suddenly made such a big scene, it was indeed to welcome Tang Chuyang, the future city lord.
The bright yellow pillar of light that erupted from the Divine Monument penetrated the sky and the earth, and after lasting for a quarter of an hour, it suddenly condensed into a golden light mass the size of a zhangxu, and then passed away like a meteor and went straight out of the city, covering his whole person before Tang Chuyang could react.
This golden light is extremely dazzling and incomparable, Lu Jun, Fang Wanxiong and the others, who are closest to Tang Chuyang, have no time to react, they cover their eyes and are repelled by a magical force, and they want to rush up to protect their young master, but they can't use their strength.
When Jin Guang was restrained, Jin Yang, Lu Jun and the others looked at Jin Guang for the first time, Tang Chuyang stood in the distance, looking at his hands coldly, his eyes flashed, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was indifferent to the things around him.
The golden light group was not only harmless, but it was of great benefit to Tang Chuyang, but the power of this divine monument was too mysterious, which actually made Tang Chuyang feel his heavenly god golden body, because this group of golden light Xu had made a lot of progress at that moment.
"Could it be that what is contained in this divine monument is actually an immortal qi that is only available in the Upper Four Realms?"
Tang Chuyang's heart shook, the light ball the size of a zhang was originally going to cover the meridians around his body, but for some reason, the golden body of the god in the divine platform suddenly radiated all over his body, and almost in an instant, he absorbed all the golden light, and there was not a drop left.
After absorbing the golden light, Tang Chuyang originally thought that he didn't know how many years it would take before he would be able to make progress again. It rose a lot hard, and this sudden discovery made Tang Chuyang's head a little unable to turn.
"Young Master. Are you alright?"
Lu Jun, Jin Yang and Fang Wanxiong immediately surrounded him, and saw that his young master had not suffered any external injuries, but he was stunned in place, thinking that he had suffered internal injuries, and his expression was a little anxious at the moment.
"I'm fine......"
Tang Chuyang waved his hand and pressed all the psychological questions to the bottom of his heart. What had just happened was so sudden, and so short-lived, that he didn't even have time to remember. It's over.
If it weren't for the obvious increase in the strength of the Heavenly God Golden Body, he would have wondered if the Qiē just now was an illusion, but the Heavenly God Golden Body was one of Tang Chuyang's two biggest secrets, and Tang Chuyang didn't want to expose it. gave Jin Yang and the three of them a reassuring look. With a wave of his hand, he said:
"Let's go!"
After striding for a distance in high spirits, Tang Chuyang found that Lu Jun and the others had not followed, and turned around with some annoyance, and found that Lu Jun, Fang Wanxiong and the others were still in place, looking at him alone, Tang Chuyang twitched the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth and said:
"What are you doing in a daze?!Let's go!!"
"Less. Young master, you. ...... above your head"
"What's overhead?"
Tang Chuyang frowned and didn't glance at Jin Yang, who was speaking, he originally wanted to scold him a few times, but when he saw that everyone was looking at the top of his head, his heart suddenly burst into his heart, could it be that there was something above his head?
Tang Chuyang put his hands together, and the two handfuls of talismans were already in his hands, and he looked up cautiously, and when he saw the scene above his head, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"What is this?!"
Three feet above Tang Chuyang's head, there was a golden prismatic object floating in the air, this prismatic object was like a trial token, the golden light was shining, extremely dazzling, Tang Chuyang estimated that with the eyesight of the monks on the Five Elements Continent, it would be difficult to ignore this golden light even if it was hundreds of miles away.
"This is the city lord's golden order, it is infinitely useful, and it is also a symbol of status, but all the trialists who have collected enough blood and qi to make the token advance to the third order (yellow-level), as long as they are close to the first settlement within a hundred miles, the divine monument will take the initiative to give birth to a sense and give the city lord a golden order!"
The voice of the person who spoke was slightly hoarse, and it sounded extremely old, judging only by the voice, the person who spoke should be a very old man, Tang Chuyang turned his head in surprise again, and found that less than three feet in front of him, there were three more white-bearded old men wearing pale gold robes.
This discovery can startle Tang Chuyang, although his cultivation realm is not high, but the strength of the Yuan Shen cannot be judged by common sense, but these three white-bearded old men actually appeared so close to him silently, Tang Chuyang's powerful Yuan Shen did not feel it at all.
If these three mysterious old men were not good for him, Tang Chuyang would be killed directly without even the slightest reaction! I am afraid that the cultivation of these three people must be at least super masters above the middle stage of the Seven Star Realm!
"Who are the three?"
When Tang Chuyang asked this sentence quietly, his heart was already turbulent, if it weren't for the three mysterious old men who didn't make a move, Tang Chuyang almost released the golden body of the god directly.
"Old man Mobai, it is the deacon elder of the Falling Moon City Elder Group, welcome the city lord back to the city!"
Mo Bai, who had a white beard and white hair, had a stern face, and when he saw Tang Chuyang asking, he immediately clasped his fists with both hands, with no sincere respect on his face, and saluted the newly born city lord of Falling Moon City.
"The ...... of the Elders"
Tang Chuyang instantly realized that the elders' regiment was stationed in the eighteen cities, firstly, to assist in defending the city, and secondly, before the new city lord was born, the elder corps stationed in the city was temporarily responsible for exercising some of the rights of the city lord, and placed it because there was no one to manage the chaos in the city.
Mobai took the initiative to appear here and declare himself home, because the third reason why their elders were stationed in the settlement was to be responsible for the transfer of power and finances to the newly born city lord.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Elder Mo, the junior Tang Chuyang, who has seen three elders......"
According to the information Tang Chuyang obtained from Ling Yangze, the Elder Group is a neutral organization in Tidal Mountain, and only has indirect management rights such as arbitration, supervision, issuance of tasks, and selection, and does not have the right to directly engage in the management of the city, and belongs to a purely auxiliary group.
The elder group is all selected from the previous city lords of the Tidal Mountain trial, although they belong to an absolutely neutral auxiliary organization, and they do not have too direct rights, but they are not in vain, and they also have a share of the tax and other income of each settlement.
"The city lord is polite, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the city lord's mansion and talk again......"
Mo Bai's expression was faint, he didn't mean to deliberately stammer, and he didn't mean to introduce the other two elders around him, these elders all belonged to the elder group, and they had no direct interest relationship with the city lord, deputy city lord and other monks who directly served in the city.
Even the remuneration of the elders in the elder group is directly taken by the elder group from the cities, and then the elder group closes its doors and distributes it.
The only place where the deacons and elders can taste the sweetness is the gap period before the birth of the new city lord, because the deacons and elders have a lot of benefits to take because of the acting city lord's exercise of management power.
Therefore, for any deacon elder, the later the lord of the city is born, the more benefits they receive.
Now that Tang Chuyang has only spent more than half a year, he has accumulated contributions to be able to directly serve as the city lord, Mo Bai will be happy in his heart, but he will not forget his duties, he just wants to return to the elder group after the handover completed as soon as possible.
"Hehe, just by the elder's orders!"
Tang Chuyang looked up and found that many monks in Falling Moon City had flown over here, and nodded happily at the moment, this was indeed not a place to talk, although he had already heard the unfriendliness in Mo Bai's tone, Tang Chuyang still smiled.
This is a matter of no way, he has no experience at all in taking up the position of city lord, what are the rules and regulations, promotion, need to pay attention to something, he has to get the corresponding information from the deacon elders, so even if the face of worship is stinky, Tang Chuyang has to smile!
"Don't dare, don't dare, city lord please!"
Mo Bai said politely, but he didn't hesitate at all, he swiped one arm in front of him, and after a fluctuation of the surrounding spatial laws, Mo Bai and the three of them had already disappeared, and they teleported back to the city so unceremoniously.
"Damn, you are so arrogant, young master, you are the city lord, they actually went back to the city without caring about it?!"
Tang Chuyang was looking at the open space in front of him in a daze, and before he had time to sigh, Fang Wanxiong in the back scolded directly, Tang Chuyang was in the eyes of Lu Jun and the three of them, it was a god-like existence, although the strength of the other party was so strong that Fang Wanxiong was in awe.
But seeing that his young master was directly ignored, Fang Wanxiong was still extremely angry in his heart, looking at that expression, it seemed that as long as Tang Chuyang said a word, he would kill him regardless of it.
"Then you're going to teach them a lesson?"
"Uh, this, young master, I'm not the opponent of those three old guys......"
"So you know?"
Tang Chuyang glanced at Fang Wanxiong angrily, he himself is not a person who likes to be angry, but he is not strong, Tang Chuyang is not familiar with the life in Tidal Mountain, and he doesn't even have a person to confide in.
If they offend Mobai now, they will have a stumbling block or something during the handover, and it is not Tang Chuyang himself who is unlucky? Therefore, although Tang Chuyang does not want to be angry, he also knows when to be arrogant and when to rein.
However, Tang Chuyang suddenly thought of a question, turned his head and looked behind him, and when he found that the person he was looking for was gone, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Jin Yang:
"Where are Jinyang, Kang Shan and Libo?!"
Kang Shan and Libo are the two ghost marshals that Tang Chuyang borrowed from Candle Ling, if these two great masters of the Liuhe Realm are staying here, even if Mo Bai is unhappy, I am afraid that he will not dare to throw him, the city lord, directly outside the city without any mercy.
"Ah, they, young master, didn't you let them catch demon beasts?"
Jin Yang scratched his head with some doubts, his young master said that he would make the best use of things, and the bodyguards he hired with money would naturally be used to death, and he almost never let those mercenaries idle along the way, why did he suddenly ask about this at this time?
"Ahh......h......h
