Chapter 83: The Expulsion of the Untouchables

On this day, the sky was filled with a dim haze, which made people feel a little depressed, and in the solemn music, the 3,000-year-old memorial ceremony ended. Then the people of the Bluestone Villa went home, and after a brief rest, they carefully prepared for the next day's flower competition, and the seriousness of the sacrifice was gradually dispelled by the delicious fragrance of flowers, and a smile appeared on their faces. However, at this moment, the bell of the assembly of the House of Elders rang out. The voice was melodious and urgent, not a bronze bell ringing, but five bronze bells of the Elder's House ringing at the same time, which means that no matter whether the woman or the elder is in the Bluestone Villa, anyone must be present.

"What's wrong!" Feng Yue'er muttered to herself in confusion.

Liu Hedong looked up at the elders' house, and then glanced at Feng Yue'er, Liu Juan, Cheng Yuanfang, and Shifeng who was playing with the tiger striped cat on the side, his eyes were full of melancholy. His faint voice came from the air filled with the scent of flowers: "Maybe, for some reason, these days always feel weird." ”

"Probably there's something important in the clan to announce. Cheng Yuanfang interjected. Liu Juan snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that the silver of the Flower Festival is not enough, so I started to loot." ”

Feng Yue'er said: "Juan'er, don't say that, in fact, our Shu clan pays much less money than those relatives every year." The Flower Contest is a common event in the villa, and everyone should contribute some money. Liu Juan listened, although she was not convinced, but she didn't argue with Feng Yue'er, and moved her eyes to her father. Liu Hedong was about to speak, but a crisp voice came from afar: "Hehe, you want to send silver, you want to send silver, Xiaohu, right." ”

Everyone looked at Cheng Shifeng, who was lying on the ground teasing the cat, but they just saw her happy appearance, just looking at each other and smiling. Then I heard Liu Hedong say: "Hurry up, you must be there within a quarter of an hour." After speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the house, followed by Feng Yue'er and others, Cheng Yuanfang ran over a few steps to pick up his sister and follow the others, and the group hurriedly walked towards the elders' house.

After almost trotting all the way to the Elders' House, Liu Hedong saw from a distance that the two elders, Liu Yeqing and Yuwu, were already standing at the gate of the Elders' House. But Liu Hedong felt strange that the two elders stood on a high wooden platform, on which were dozens of large red wooden boxes one meter square. The wooden box lay at the feet of the two elders, glowing crimson in the sun. The audience was already full of black crowds, and some people were still joining the team one after another. Everyone didn't seem to understand what the two elders were going to do, and they looked at the solemn elders on the stage and whispered.

Time passed minute by minute, short quarter of an hour, it seemed incomparably long, and judging from the expressions of the two elders, things must be extraordinary. However, the two elders just stood motionless, their eyes slowly scanning everyone in the Bluestone Villa. Finally, the last bell rang, and the ancient bell echoed in Longyun Mountain, the sound rang in the ears, and the heart trembled. People held their breath and saw the serious expressions of adults, and the ignorant children all quietly looked at the two vicissitudes of life on the high platform, watching quietly. Another long time passed, and the two elders still stood there without saying a word, their bodies trembling a little, and their eyes blazing but full of sorrow. After touching the audience many times, Liu Yeqing finally moved, and slowly took out a stack of papers from his arms, a stack of papers that Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang were familiar with.

Liu Juan seemed to sense something, and looked at the two old men with suppressed anger. For a moment, Liu Juan clearly felt that the eyes of the two elders were staring at her, a trace of love, reluctance, and faint helplessness, at that moment, Liu Juan even thought of giving up her prejudices against them in the past. Through that look, Liu Juan saw that their newness was pure, without the slightest artificiality. Liu Juan was also a little in awe. However, the next voice disappointed her again.

When the stack of papers slowly moved to Liu Yeqing's eyes, Elder Yuwu was gloomy, and his eyes were hazy as he looked at Liu Yeqing's trembling hands. The old man's voice came:

"The people whose names I read will leave and go home immediately! All those who don't pronounce their names will stay!" Liu Yeqing seemed to be extremely painful when he said this, and his voice trembled a little. After a pause, the voice continued, "Liu Qiong!" An old man in Tsing Yi walked out of the crowd with a calm face, and after taking a deep look at the stage, he turned around and left. "Cheng Ying, Nangong Peng, Nangong Hao······" The crowd was leaving. Liu Juan watched suspiciously, as the 1,205 people on the list left one after another, and couldn't guess what the two elders meant. In fact, everyone looked at all this in confusion, you look at me, I look at you, no one can figure out what's going on, so their eyes finally return to the stage.

Liu Yeqing's voice no longer trembled, and looking at the figures that left one by one just now, his voice became more and more firm, and his voice became higher and higher, which was a little cold. I saw Liu Yeqing wave his hands to everyone in the audience, and suddenly rushed out from behind the stage, and the two teams of figures quickly ran to the audience, surrounding everyone in the audience. There was a commotion in the crowd, and the voices of doubt came and went, but they slowly died down under the cold gaze.

Cheng Yuanfang looked at the cold gaze, for some reason, it seemed familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it. Liu Juan also felt the same way, looked at Cheng Yuanfang, and found that Cheng Yuanfang also looked at herself again, his eyes were strange, his face was slightly red, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the crowd. A pair of confused eyes stared at the stage, waiting for the elder's next words. The two elders exchanged glances and nodded to each other. Liu Yeqing carefully folded the stack of paper into his arms, and said resolutely: "My Bluestone Villa has always been the world of my five surnamed Xianhou, and today, it has a history of three thousand years. In the past 3,000 years, the five surnames have experienced hardships and made countless great achievements. Speaking of the word "in-law", Liu Yeqing deliberately pulled his voice to the elder, but everyone in the audience sounded extremely harsh. Because everyone could see it just now that the people who left were all the relatives of the five surnamed Xianhou. Isn't it a clear contempt for the Shu clan and people other than the five surnames? Everyone in the audience who originally revered suddenly swelled up with anger in their hearts, especially Liu Juan, whose eyes faintly glowed green at some point, which was extremely terrifying. It's just that no one noticed.

After pausing for a moment, Liu Yeqing glanced down at the crowd and continued: "It's a pity! In recent years, there have been some miscellaneous people outside the mountain villa, plus those lowly Shu untouchables, which has made the noble five surnamed Xianhou doubly insulted. Liu Yeqing stopped again when he said this, and swept towards the crowd with an arrogant attitude. The people in the crowd were already angry at this time, spitting and scolding. Unexpectedly, this kind of remark came from the mouth of the elder, which not only despised the residents who came from outside the Qingshi Villa, but also belittled the members of the Shu clan even more. It seems that there is no longer a taste of admiration for the two Zhang in everyone's eyes. Everyone looked at the two elders with hatred, but Liu Hedong didn't, because he felt that Liu Yeqing's hand was trembling slightly, and although he controlled it strongly, it still didn't escape Liu Hedong's eyes.

However, Liu Yeqing replied with a disdainful gaze to everyone, and then raised his voice and said: "For the sake of the glory of the Pure Five Immortal Marquis Family, the elders and the authoritative figures in the clan have unanimously decided that from now on, all the people in the audience, regardless of their age, will leave the Bluestone Villa, and they will not be allowed to step into the Bluestone Villa again. The Bluestone Villa is the treasure land of the five surnamed Xianhou, and it cannot tolerate the pollution of the untouchables! Of course, you have also done something for the villa over the years, so I will send it to you before leaving. Don't worry, I've already found a place for you, there are many powerful countries beyond the mountains, so you can go to Qingliu Country. Escorted by a samurai outside of you, with enough food to eat. It's actually much better than the mountains. Well, it's useless to talk more, send money!"

Everyone was stunned, no one would have thought that their ancestors had lived in this Longyun Mountain for generations, and suddenly they would be driven away, which was really outrageous. No one in the crowd wanted to believe that it was real, but the burning pain in their faces told them that it was not a dream. Everyone froze there, as if the ground under their feet had been evacuated, unable to move. Just when the crowd was standing, a group of cold-eyed people suddenly appeared on the stage, holding iron rods and smashing the dozens of wooden boxes on the stage. After only listening to a bang, the entire high platform was piled with gold, silver and jewelry, and the sun immediately burst out.

Everyone in the crowd was even more stunned, and when they were stunned, the group of people quickly threw the gold and silver treasures to the crowd below, and after only a few moments, the gold, silver and jewelry on the stage disappeared, and none of them were gone. Only the fragments of the smashed wooden box confirmed that the glow was indeed emitted by the jewel. The jewels on the stage were gone, but the crowd exclaimed in amazement as they found their feet piled up with gold ingots, silver ingots, pearls and jade. The treasures of gold and silver were heaped at everyone's feet, and each heap was the same size. Each pile was more than a foot high, and thousands of people formed thousands of mountains of gold, shooting out attractive golden, silver, and pearlescent light from the crowd.

The stunned crowd stared at the gold and silver jewels on the ground with wide eyes in astonishment, their faces full of inexplicability. However, before the matter was over, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the group of cold-eyed people shot into the crowd like lightning, and after a few jumps, the money under everyone's feet was incorporated into a golden cloth bag, and on the cloth bag was written everyone's name. Liu Juan stared at the pocket with her name written at her feet, and she didn't know when she forgot her anger, her face full of confusion. Everyone seemed to have suddenly fallen into a dream, and the sound of gurgling and grinding came, only to find that their feet were moving involuntarily with the crowd, and there were cold-eyed samurai on the left and right of their bodies, followed by dozens of carriages, which were loaded with bags and boxes of things, including the golden bag with the name written on it. When people's minds are cleared one after another, they are already in the vast mountains, and there are only rolling and churning clouds around the world, and there is no shadow of the bluestone villa. With a cloud-piercing sword on his head and an abyss under his head, the sighing crowd moved helplessly on the rugged mountain road.
