Chapter 22 The Past Past
Originally, the incident was gradually forgotten by Xuan Yuanju almost with the passage of time, but at the previous moment, it was as if a switch in the depths of his memory had been turned on, and the dusty past surged out like a raging wave.
Suddenly, the fat man felt that his whole head was about to explode, and he couldn't help but cover his head with both hands, roaring in pain, and even his vision began to blur gradually, as the memory continued to emerge, as if the fat man had returned to thirty years ago......
It was a dark night, and the fat man who had just turned twenty came back from outside looking for flowers and asking willows, but at that time, Xuanyuanju was not only not fat at all, but also a playboy with a handsome face, relying on himself to be the only son of the great elder, and was accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the Qiongxiao Sword Sect at that time, and he was even more lawless, not concentrating on practicing martial arts, not to mention, and spending money like dirt, taking the Sword Sect as his own private treasury, and spending all day and wine in the middle of the night before coming back.
Although Xuan Yuanju was not good at cultivating, his qualifications were really good at that time, and he was superior to everyone in terms of light skills.
The real situation is that in order not to let the master find out that he returns every night and receives punishment, he practices hard, and every time he comes back, he is cautious, and he is not discovered once.
It's still the same tonight, but when Xuan Yuanju passed by the door of the master's room, he was surprised to find that the light in the master's room was still on today, and he hadn't slept yet.
Driven by curiosity, Xuan Yuanju cautiously landed under an eaves, shielded his breath with the unique turtle breath secret method of the Qiongxiao Sword Sect, and then gently sucked out a piece of wood that he had done before from the gap in the eaves with internal force, and looked at the room through the subtle gaps in the eaves.
This gap is exquisite, if it is a little bigger, even if it is covered up with his fire-like and pure turtle breath secret method, it will still be found in the realm of his master and several elders, but if it is too small, with Xuan Yuanju's skills, it will not be able to penetrate, and he will not be able to see the situation inside clearly, this is the conclusion that Xuan Yuanju has reached through hundreds of times of continuous contact and deduction with his master, intentionally or unintentionally.
Moreover, Xuan Yuanju has made more than a dozen marks in the inner courtyard of the Qiongxiao Sword Sect with the help of his identity, the purpose of which is of course to do military intelligence espionage work for his great elder father, who is in charge of the financial power of the entire Qiongxiao Sword Sect, and deliver the news in time wherever there is any trouble, so that his great elder father has enough time to do a good job in the aftermath, and the effect has been remarkable in recent years.
At this time, the lights in his master's room were bright, not there was a figure transmission, it seemed that he was discussing something, Xuan Yuanju counted carefully, plus his master, there were a total of seven people, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find his father's figure.
Seeing this Xuan Yuanju's brows, he couldn't help frowning, why did he have to gather in the middle of the night to talk secretly, and his father, the great elder of the Qiongxiao Sword Sect, didn't participate, could it be that he was going to find trouble with his father again? It seems that tonight is right, and the things discussed below are definitely not so simple.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yuanju cautiously leaned forward, wanting to hear the conversation of everyone inside.
At this time, there was silence in the room, and the old man, who was the head of the Qiongxiao Sword Sect and the master of Xuan Yuanju, had a solemn expression, only to see his left hand resting on the table, and his right hand slowly brushing his long gray beard, as if he was making a decision.
The other six elders looked at the long-bearded elder, either indignantly or solemnly, as if waiting for the old man's reply.
The whole atmosphere was always in a dull state, and after a short while, a dark-skinned and sturdy man seemed to be born with an impatient temperament, and he couldn't bear it, so he lowered his voice and said angrily:" Senior brother in charge, you are talking, what is there to think, Xuan Yong, that old guy was diligent and diligent before, but he has been in charge of the financial power of our sword faction all these years, you look at what he has done, every year at least two layers of our sword faction's income have entered his Xuan family's private treasury, and his son who is not angry, relying on being your disciple, and with the help of Xuan Yong's guy, he is even more arrogant, directly treating Qiong Xiaoshan as his private treasury, and squandering it wantonly, how many women have been harmed over the years, wave after wave of people who come to ask for crimes, which time is not to use the money of our sword faction to wipe his own ass。 ”
"Boss, you have to deal with it early, many of my disciples have been harmed by that prodigal Xuanyuanju, there is a good qualification, he was promoted to the five-grade realm at a young age, and he didn't want to be abducted by Xuanyuanju, a brute, and now the whole person's cultivation is wasted, you can't help the abuse anymore", the only female elder spoke.
Everyone seemed to be suffocated in the dreary atmosphere before, but as soon as the conversation box opened, the six elders began to complain one after another.
At this time, as soon as the fifth elder finished speaking, the fourth elder said indignantly: "Hmph, don't you know, master, Xuan Yong, with the identity of the great elder, has repeatedly taken precious martial arts from the treasure pavilion and sold them to the outside world. ”
"You guys are not a top priority, don't you know, I am in charge of the medicine furnace for many years, and I have always regarded refining pills as the top priority, but in recent years, it has become more and more difficult to buy medicine from Xuan Yong's hands, sometimes it depends on his face, and even the money is delayed again and again, you know, our sword sect is a place to practice martial arts, and we usually help the villagers on the mountain to eliminate violence and peace, and injuries are inevitable, but now in the medicine furnace, even the most common pills for treating trauma are almost gone, not to mention those precious medicinal materials. Now there are already complaints among the disciples, and it is better for me not to open this medicine furnace if it goes on like this. ”
The six elders looked aggrieved, and after they finished speaking, their hands were still clenched.
The second elder, who had the demeanor of a sword immortal, sighed lightly and said slowly: "The words have come to this, I will also say a few words, Xuanyong's matter has already caused our entire sword sect to complain, if it is not disposed of, it will not be able to calm the anger of the people, after all, these years have also been meritorious, so I suggest that the responsibility of Xuanyong Qiongxiao Sword Sect be revoked, but still retain the position of the great elder, so as not to chill the hearts of fellow disciples for many years." As for the ...... of Gen Yuan Ju"
The second elder paused slightly, looked at the head solemnly, and continued: "Although this son has good qualifications, he has bad intentions, is insidious and cunning, and will be embarrassed in the future, so I advise the head to break off the idea of letting him inherit the Sword Sect as soon as possible, otherwise I will not agree to be the first to agree." ”
"Consent"
"I'm okay too"
"That's it, I've always looked at that kid unpleasantly, and he looks like a little white face"
The other elders chimed in.
The more Xuan Yuanju listened, the more ruthless his face became, thinking that these people usually seem to shout at you one by one, but I didn't expect that all of them were falling into the well, you all waited for me, and one day let you know what regret is......
The old man, who was the head of the house, slowly turned his head and looked around, and finally stopped at the Seventh Elder, who had never spoken, and said: "Old Seven, why are you so quiet today, this is not like your style, don't hide whatever you want." ”
Hearing the master's words, the other five elders also reacted and looked at the seven elders one after another.
The Seventh Elder coughed lightly and said, "Alas, everyone knows that my achievements today are all due to Brother Xuanyong, and he has never made things difficult for me in normal times, as for Yuanju, I have watched him grow up since I was a child, although this child is stubborn, when I think that as long as I can change my mind, I am still a manufacturable material......"
Xuan Yuanju under the eaves heard the words of the Seventh Elder, and his heart suddenly felt warm, he really didn't call his uncle for so many years in vain.
The Seventh Elder paused, and said with a straight face: "However, Brother Xuanyong has indeed gone too far in some things, and I have also admonished him many times in private, but it has been in vain, and I also think that it is necessary to punish one or two small punishments, so as not to let Brother Xuanyong go further and further astray, as long as it does not hurt the Xuan family, I have no opinion." ”
Xuan Yuanju's face was gloomy, and he snorted viciously in his heart: "It's really a wall grass, it's blind......"
At this moment, the long-bearded head who had not been revealed slowly got up, and did not speak but walked around the position of several elders, making them confused.
When he walked to his position again, he stopped, sighed slowly and said: "Xuan Yong, I joined my Qiongxiao Sword Sect at the age of five, in the past forty-eight years, I have fought sixteen times, big and small, each time I took the lead, when I faced hundreds of people from the Nine Palaces to go up the mountain to provoke, I almost died, and finally I had the position of the Great Elder, since Xuan Yong began to take charge of the wealth and power of the Qiongxiao Sword Sect, I have to say that the current income of the Sword Sect has been several times that of the past."
At this time, the head of the house showed kindness, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Yuanju, this child is still young, and his heart is not bad, he usually just plays too hard, but this child has tried his best to compensate afterwards, and he will be guided in the future, and he may not be able to become a generation of heroes, as for the reserve candidate you said, my body is still strong, and there is no problem in living for more than ten or twenty years, it is still early to talk about this." ”
Speaking of this, the head of the sect looked tired, waved his hand to a few elders who wanted to continue talking, and said: "Okay, what I said to you earlier is to tell you that you can't just look at the immediate interests, everything needs to be evidenced, don't chill the hearts of fellow disciples." Okay, that's the end of tonight, the elders are also tired, go back to rest, I will carefully consider what you said tonight, and I will give you an explanation in the near future. ”
"Take care, I'll retire"
A group of people got up, said goodbye to each other, and then left to go back to their rooms to rest.
Xuan Yuanju's previous cruel face had long since disappeared, and at this time, he looked at his master's slightly haggard white face and was a little stunned, until several elders finished walking one after another, and only then did he come back to his senses, and at this time he had already found that the lights in his master's room had been turned off.
Then he carefully moved the wooden block back, and returned to his room in a bit of a distraction, perhaps because he was too sleepy, he didn't take off his clothes, and fell asleep on the bed.
