Chapter 185: Lu Xin
Soon after the Great Elder of the Ghost Domain announced that the Inheritance Ceremony would be held in three years, many of the Ghost Marquis present couldn't bear it anymore and whispered to each other. Although this kind of exchange of words is not very regular, and it is suspected of disturbing the order of the meeting, the great elder gave acquiescence and did not stop shouting. After all, the significance of this kind of news to the ghost domain is too great, and there are too many stakes involved, so it is normal for all the ghost marquis here to whisper a few words to him.
However, even if this ghost marquis talked about it vigorously, he always glanced at the Great Elder sitting in the center of the entire venue, and his voice did not dare to raise it slightly, obviously for fear of touching the Great Elder's divine might.
Just when Huan Yin was once again sighing at the majesty of this Ghost Domain Great Elder, a voice shouted out with a bit of desperate momentum: "Great Elder, dare to ask if the selection rules for the juniors participating in this inheritance ceremony are still the same as before?"
Huan Yin was slightly surprised, thinking that a ghost marquis didn't even understand the rules of his own ghost domain inheritance ceremony, even if he dared to ask the Great Elder on such an occasion, wouldn't he know whether he was alive or dead? When Huan Yin looked at the place where the voice came out with a little speechlessness, wanting to see which stupid person was asking the question, the surprise in his heart instantly turned into consternation.
"Isn't this the pus-filled grandfather?" Huan Yin looked at an old ghost marquis sitting in the front row of the Great Elder of the Ghost Domain, and recognized who it was at a glance.
Back then, in the outer ring of the ghost domain, it was the ghost marquis who asked the question who completely crushed Huan Yin and Huan Shu, who had just entered the ghost domain, and threw them into the demon fighting field in the outer ring. Back then, he was simply invincible to Huan Yin, and now that he looks at it, Huan Yin still feels that he is quite powerful, but he can't be investigated with his divine sense at the moment, so his specific depth is unknown.
At this moment, the expression on the face of this pus-bag ghost general is constantly changing, and there is a feeling of openness, but there is no lack of apprehension. Obviously, his mood is extremely conflicted at the moment, but for some reason he has the same expression and performance as he does now.
The Great Elder's gaze slowly shifted to the hungry ghost questioning, and many of the ghost marquis in the field also slowly quieted down, and their gaze moved with the Great Elder. When all the ghost marquis found out who was questioning, not only did they not feel the slightest surprise, but instead showed an expression that it was really him, even the Great Elder.
These ghost marquis all knew that the question just now was the fifth time that the pus-filled grandfather had asked the Great Elder. Five simple inquiries represent more than 100 years. The fact that the grandfather of this pus-bag ghost general was able to ask the same question to the Great Elder again and again and again has been persevering for more than a hundred years, naturally because he has always had a wish in his heart, but he has never been able to realize it. This wish was able to make him so persistent, and let him not hesitate to offend the Great Elder of the Ghost Domain, which showed his importance to him.
The grandfather who stared at the pus-filled ghost general for a long time, but the great elder finally did not get angry, but sighed heavily, nodded, and said: "Yes, how to decide the candidates for this inheritance ceremony, it is still according to the old rules, and each of our ghost marquis can be promoted." But anyone who is recommended by the ghost marquis, as long as the old man can still see it, can enter the ghost king's hall and try to comprehend the ghost king's avenue. ”
Speaking of this, the Great Elder paused, took a deep look at the pus-filled ghost general's grandfather again, and then said, "I understand your intentions, I heard that your grandson has already reached the early stage of the Destiny Palm, right? He has been cultivating for less than seven hundred and fifty years, and he can be regarded as a talent in cultivation. It's a pity...... Hey......"
As soon as the Great Elder's words came out, Huan Yin suddenly realized. He should have thought that with this pustule ghost will be his grandfather's doting on that pus, who else should he recommend if he doesn't want to try to recommend him?
It's just that the recommendation of Grandpa Ghost has been unsuccessful for four consecutive times. This is naturally not because of the slow progress of the Pusbag Ghost General's cultivation, but because his personality is too cowardly to take on a big responsibility. Even the title of "ghost general" was actually just for the sake of his grandfather's face.
When he heard the three words "It's a pity" said by the Great Elder, the ghost general's grandfather's face suddenly dimmed. He didn't blame the Great Elder, he only blamed himself for doting on his grandson too much, which created the character that his grandson has now. It's just that he doesn't regret it, because as a grandfather, how can he not dote on his grandson?
"Well, who you want to recommend this time, I won't interfere, you can do it yourself. I just want you to remember that Chengdao is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for hungry ghosts like me, something that many young and talented juniors dream of. Such an opportunity should be reserved for those juniors who are most likely to contribute to my ghost domain and most likely to bring hope to my ghost domain. Finally, the Great Elder's words continued, but the Ghost Marquis, including the Ghost General's grandfather, looked at the Great Elder in disbelief at the same time.
Although the Great Elder's words had a merciless contempt for the ghost general, the meaning between the words was that he obviously agreed to the ghost general's grandfather's request. The so-called "non-intervention" doesn't mean that the ghost general's grandfather will recommend whoever he wants?
Mo said that he was the grandfather of the ghost general, and even all the other ghost marquis thought that they had heard it wrong. You must know that the Great Elder has always been extremely strict, and he has rejected the ghost general's grandfather four times, how could he suddenly be gracious today?
"Big ...... Great Elder, thank you for your kindness!" finally couldn't hide the excitement and ecstasy on the old face of the ghost general's grandfather, stood up, and bowed to the Great Elder to the end.
"The old man must keep the Great Elder's teachings in mind and teach the unruly grandson in the family well, so as to live up to the great kindness of the Great Elder!" the ghost general grandfather said excitedly again.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Great Elder said, "Alright, this matter will be the same. Speaking of this, the Great Elder's head was slightly raised, and his gaze was also a little farther away, looking at the edge of the venue.
At this time, the Great Elder was still facing away from Huan Yin, so Huan Yin still hadn't been able to get a glimpse of the true face of the ghost Hou Lu. Just when Huan Yin was a little worried, the Great Elder continued to speak: "Lu Xin, come here." ”
After the Great Elder's words fell, at the edge of the entire hall, a young hungry ghost stood up and slowly moved towards the center of the hall.
The young hungry ghost had been quite low-key before, so much so that Huan Yin had been observing the entire venue for so long that he didn't even notice his presence. Now it seems that this young hungry ghost is obviously no bigger than the pustule ghost, and naturally it is impossible to be a ghost marquis. So what did he mean by appearing at this ghost meeting?
The young hungry ghost was dressed plainly, covered only by a gray robe. His face does not have the slightest immature color, but has a mature temperament, with his slightly hideous face, which makes Dehuan Yin look slightly sideways.
"The so-called leader of the younger generation among the hungry ghosts refers to a hungry ghost like him, right?" Huan Yin thought in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly praise it.
The young hungry ghost's steps were steady but dashing, and he did not show the slightest cowardice or fear at all because of the presence of all the ghost marquis. He soon came to the front of the Great Elder, bowed to him, and said, "Grandpa." ”
Huan Yin suddenly thought to himself that this young hungry ghost was the grandson of the Great Elder, no wonder he could have such a bearing. As the saying goes, "Tiger father has no dog son", obviously the great elder is also a tiger grandfather and has no dog grandson.
Nodding, the Great Elder motioned for Lu Xin to stand beside him, and Lu Xin understood, respectfully and without falling behind, he stood beside the Great Elder, facing all the other ghosts.
"I don't know how much his grandfather looks like him. Huan Yin looked at Lu Xin, who had only left a back for himself, and thought in his heart.
"Lu Xin, hurry up and give a salute to all the ghost marquis seniors. The Great Elder glanced at his grandson with satisfaction, and then spoke loudly.
Lu Xin respectfully bowed his hand to all the ghost marquis present, and then bowed down and shouted: "Lu Xin has seen all the seniors!"
It was not the first time that all the ghost marquis had seen Lu Xin, they knew that Lu Xin was the only grandson of the Great Elder, and the Great Elder had great hopes for him, and he also disciplined him very seriously. And obviously, Lu Xin did not disappoint his grandfather, the cultivation has been less than five hundred years, and he has the cultivation in the middle stage of his life, which can be called a genius among ghosts. And his personality and personality are even more old-fashioned, completely different from ordinary hungry ghost juniors, and at first glance he can be a great talent.
Therefore, after Lu Xin greeted them, all the ghost marquis smiled and nodded in response, firstly, it was to give face to the Great Elder, and secondly, it was also a kind of recognition of Lu Xin.
"The old man called Lu Xin over today, not because of anything else, but because the old man felt that his current situation had begun to take shape. Therefore, the person who the old man is going to nominate to participate in the Enlightenment Ceremony this time is him!" The Great Elder spoke again, making the ghost marquis all present look suddenly surprised.
