A hundred years ago, Xiangmuro and Zheng Muroguo fought in the area of the West Boundary Mountain, and they continued to hold each other for several years, and no one could win but was unwilling to retreat, and almost all the villages in the West Boundary Mountain were destroyed and the lives suffered. Only then did the elephant come forward to ask the two monarchs to stop, and the two monarchs also found a step to collect their troops.

But now Shaowu has just won a big victory, defeating Xiangmuro and Zheng Muroguo successively, and this battle is fought in a reasonable and restrained manner. In such a situation, he was reluctant to negotiate the affairs of the clan on an equal footing with the other four monarchs, especially the defeated Xiangjun and Zheng Jun.

But the envoy of Chiwangqiu was the last to find Shaowu, and before that, Bo Jun, Fan Jun, Xiangjun, and Zheng Jun had all agreed to Chiwangqiu's invitation, and resolutely agreed with Chiwangqiu's suggestion.

The place where Chiwangqiu summoned this meeting of the monarchs was also carefully chosen, and it was in Baichuan City in the territory of Fanmu Kingdom. The country was the only one that did not participate in the war, and remained ostensibly neutral. Moreover, the location of Baichuan Castle is very special, it borders with Bamuro Province to the west and Pamuro Country to the south.

Xiangjun and Zheng Jun not to mention, if Ba Jun and Bo Jun are afraid, they can arrange a large army at the border to prepare, and once there is an accident, they can cross the border and fight to Baichuan City on the same day. On the other hand, Chiwangqiu also made a promise that he would ensure the safety of the kings and let them come and go freely, without restricting or forcing anyone.

In addition, Chiwangqiu also invited the major cultivation inheritance sects in Bayuan to witness together. The leaders of each faction pledged to abide by a common covenant that would ensure the safety of the kings and allow them to make their own decisions.

The so-called major cultivation inheritance sects, not all sects or sects are qualified to be in this gathering. In addition to Chiwangqiu, of course, Wufu Qiu and Meng Yingqiu are the first to be recommended. As for the rest of the sects that are qualified to receive invitations, they must at least have Dacheng masters, have a complete secret method inheritance, and truly represent a party's forces.

For example, in Ba Room Middle School, Liang Fengding and Changling Sect of course received an invitation, and a small sect like Goose Gongbao is not qualified to join in the fun. And Gu Xiongchuan and Bujin Mountain in the Xiangmuro Country, and Yingzhuling in the Zheng Dynasty will of course send high-ranking people to participate in this grand event. The gathering was not to divide territory between the five nations, but first and foremost to promote a truce.

If it is just for the sake of a truce, in fact, it is no longer necessary, and the young affairs have already ceased war. Peace talks are under way between countries. Shaomu has no plans to start a new war in the short term, and the country of Pamura and the country of Fan have no plans to clash with the country of Bamuro at the moment. But this gathering requires the five monarchs to formally confirm the truce in public, and stop talking and fighting again.

On the other hand, it is more important for them to elect a patriarch.

Each tribe in Bayuan has a patriarch, but now there is only one tribe exception, and there are five people who all claim to be the patriarch, of course, these monarchs who are also descendants of Yan Zhaoyan. They represent the royal clan of Ba, and each of them leads a clan, so there is a saying that there is a clan dispute.

As for how to choose this patriarch. , should follow the ancient tradition of the tribes to elect their chiefs.

For the newly succeeded Xiangjun and Zheng Jun, they have nothing to lose even if they are not the patriarchs, and of course they happily accept the invitation and agree with Chiwangqiu's decision. And for Bo Jun and Fan Jun. Their state affairs were already controlled by Chiwangqiu, and now that the country of Ba was powerful, it would put pressure on them, and of course they agreed with Chiwangqiu's decision.

And so it goes. This meeting can also be seen as a meeting for the lesser ones. On the battlefield of Ba Yuan, Shao Wu can defeat the Xiang Mu State and the Zheng Mu State, but he will not be able to bear the price of completely destroying these two countries in the short term. It is impossible to start a new war. So at the gathering within the clan, will he succeed in taking the position of patriarch?

Huwa asked again: "According to Chiwangqiu's proposal, how should this patriarch be elected?"

Jian Sha replied, "Son, you have also traveled to many places over the years, and you should know that the traditions of all tribes are the same. Since ancient times, they have chosen the best people in the tribe to protect and lead their people to live in peace. That being said, there are more and more variables about how it is actually done and what the outcome is.

The exact selection of the patriarch will not be determined until all five kings are present, but the result must be convincing and acceptable to all, and it is nothing more than a tradition that has been passed since ancient times. Although I don't know exactly how it will be at that time, I know how Ba Jun Yanzhao became the patriarch back then. ”

A long history was introduced in the Divine Thoughts of the Sword Demon, and Huwa and the others had heard of it for the first time.

Yan Zhao is the descendants of a tribe to which Emperor Taihao belongs, and in the era of Emperor Yan, they crossed Yunmeng Daze from the land of China, passed through mountains and valleys, and bypassed the East China Sea into Bayuan. Before coming to Ba Yuan, there were two people who were the best leaders of the clan, and both of them were qualified to become the patriarchs, namely Shiozhao and Takeo.

In the presence of all the clansmen, the two took the form of a battle to decide who was the patriarch. Shiozhao and Takeo each brought an assistant and fought twice. The first was archery, and the two sides were evenly matched. The second is to build a boat and cross the river, and whoever can safely transport more people across the designated water surface within the specified time will win.

Shiozhao won the second battle, so he became the leader of the entire clan, and Takeo kept his promise and became Shiozhao's assistant. This tribe entered the barbaric Ba Yuan 500 years ago, and later established the country of Ba, and Yan Zhao also became the founding king of the country by the patriarch.

Yan Zhao and Wufu both had great cultivation at the beginning, and later Wufu's cultivation passed the path of the Eight Realms, Nine Turns and Seventy-two Steps to the Heavens, and it is said that he has soared into an immortal and should be above Yan Zhao. However, according to this history, before this tribe entered Ba Yuan, the skills and methods of the martial arts did not surpass that of Yan Zhao, and everyone believed that Yan Zhao was more suitable to be the leader of the entire clan.

Huwa frowned when she heard this: "It was that year, when there was no country in Bayuan, it was still a wilderness, Yan Zhao led the clansmen here as the patriarch, and he was naturally the king after the establishment of the country." But now the five kingdoms of Ba Yuan, who can become the king of the unified Ba Yuan, how can it be determined by the personal competition of the monarch?"

Jian Sha shook his head and said, "This is not the election of a monarch, but just the various clans of the same clan. Elect a patriarch together. Only in this way can we get the approval of all the people of Pakistan. ”

Huwa is right, if the five monarchs are called together, it will be too child's fun for them to have a personal contest to determine who is the lord of Ba Yuan. If things can be decided in this way, there is still a need to manage the city, govern the subjects, establish the country, and rectify the people's livelihood and military, let alone raise a large army to attack like today.

But what Jian Sha said was also right, the meeting of the monarchs convened by Chiwangqiu was not to elect a monarch who would unify Bayuan, but to let them jointly elect a patriarch. The clan split into five clans. But these five clans all claim to have inherited the orthodoxy of Pakistan, and no one denies their identity, so it is justified to elect a leader within the clan.

Although the tiger baby is not very old, he has lived in the wilderness since he was a child, and he has traveled so many places, no one knows better than him how a patriarch is born.

In the primitive barbaric era, the leader of a tribe was theoretically the most capable of the clan. For example, the people of the tribe live by hunting. Then the hunter who shoots the arrows most accurately and the best will become the candidate for the patriarch, and in addition to his excellent personal ability, the one who is better at leading and commanding the clan will also be more likely to convince the people. This is not the case with the mountain master of Lu Village and Gu Xinmo of Huahai Village.

But Tiger Baby's experience is very special, he grew up in the depths of the wilderness. Now that he has traveled all over the country, he has experienced not only the space on the road, but also the time between generations.

In his hometown, around the time of his birth, he crossed the walled city of the Shimizu clan and went deep into the mountains. Many of the tribes are still the same as they were 500 years ago. If there is no interference from outside factors, these tribes will develop naturally in their original environment, and the change will be very slow. Even in another hundred years, the situation will not be much worse.

However, the production and life of the Qingshui clan are much more advanced than the tribes in the deep mountains, and it is the city built by the clansmen brought by Li Qingshui from Ba Yuan back then. By the time Huwa left his hometown, because of more and more exchanges with the hinterland of Ba Yuan, and the influence was increasing, the mountain master had been enshrined to set up a landscape city, imitating the outline of the city on Ba Yuan.

From tribe to tribal union, from tribal alliance to solid city, from city to a unified nation. The way for people to become leaders is no longer based on their own strength, but more on the combined strength of the tribes, tribal alliances, and cities they represent, as well as the talents and means of individuals within their clans.

Even in the most basic tribes, when private property appears, especially when people can become slaves and is regarded as a kind of private property, the patriarch is often no longer born because of personal force or talent, but because of the status and power he inherits and has, such as Bai Xiying, the original patriarch of Baixi Village.

But in such times, the consciousness of the people still recognizes the tradition, and they still believe that the individual ability to become an elder should be the best in the clan. Because of this, Lingbao from outside married Miss Weiwei and settled in Baixi Village, so that he could also get the support of the clan and become the local patriarch.

The establishment of the Qingshui clan's walled city a hundred years ago, and the emergence of the mountain lord now, accelerated the historical evolution process of the wilderness in Huwa's hometown. The arrival of the salt omen 500 years ago accelerated the evolution of the world in Ba Yuan. For Huwa, his journey from birth to the present is from one era to another, not only through thousands of miles, but also through thousands of years, so he can see too many things that ordinary people don't think about at all.

In Huwa's view, it is actually inappropriate to let the five monarchs have a personal battle to elect a nominal patriarch. However, in the process of accelerating evolution, people everywhere in Pakistan still recognize the ancient tradition in their hearts, which is also an undeniable and unavoidable reality.
