Chapter Twenty-Six: The Great Elder of the Fire Tribe
A few families are happy and a few are sad, compared with the joy of the entire Shenlong tribe, the fire tribe at this moment is immersed in sadness and anger.
Today, the news that the young master of the tribe, Liu Yunlong, and his men were killed in the Black Snake Valley had already been brought back to the tribe by the few Fire Clansmen who were injured and escaped at dusk, and the people sent to find the bodies of the dead have not returned yet. In fact, it was not so much to send them to find the corpses as to let them try their luck. The two places where the Shenlong tribe fought this time were inaccessible and infested by wild beasts, and now that it was so late, I am afraid that the corpses of those dead had already been eaten by wild beasts, and it was unknown whether they could find a few bones.
"Someone's coming!" Liu Yijian, the chief of the Fire Tribe, has been pacing around his room angrily since learning of his son's death, his eyes breathing fire and his face gloomy, like an enraged lion, about to choose someone to devour. No one dared to approach him or talk to him, even his wife and several other children only dared to hide in the corner and secretly wipe their tears.
"Your subordinates, what do you command, Chief?" asked an old man who had been waiting at his house with a shudder, bowing his head and bending over.
"You go and call me the three people who came back this afternoon to report the news, as well as a few elders in the tribe!" Liu Yijian didn't reply, but ordered coldly. The killing intent that came out of his body was like an invisible sword, almost scaring this honest old man so that his whole body was paralyzed and he fell to the ground.
"Yes, Chief, I'll go and call them. Chief, you haven't eaten dinner yet, why don't you eat something first?" "The subordinate who came in just now is over sixty years old and has been working as a servant in the Liu family, Liu Yijian and Liu Yunlong have both grown up watching him from his bare buttocks, and now he suddenly heard that his young master was killed, and he originally wanted to persuade Liu Yijian again, but when he saw his appearance of wanting to eat people, he swallowed back the words to his mouth.
"Get out!" Liu Yijian didn't appreciate it, just coldly squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
The three people who escaped from the Black Snake Valley had already taken care of the wounds on their bodies at this time and bandaged them. When they learned that the chief had summoned them again, they couldn't help but shudder. This is the third time that the chief has summoned them, and the first two times he asked the same question, that is, why his master Liu Yunlong suddenly clashed with the people of the Shenlong tribe, and why more than twenty people failed to protect the young master. Although the chief did not be furious when he asked, the suffocating killing intent clearly told them that the chief did not mean to forgive the three people, and the reason why he had not punished them was definitely not to see them pitiful, but to keep them so that he could ask for more details. In order to take care of the young master's face, the three of them didn't tell the truth just now, but said that the young master was hunting in the mountains, and when he was about to go home, he happened to meet three people from the Shenlong tribe who came back from the Qinglong tribe in the Black Snake Valley. I don't know what kind of weapon the person from the Shenlong tribe used, but I only heard four "bang, bang, bang, bang", and the people on my side didn't have time to resist, so they fell down and died. The three Shenlong tribesmen also took the opportunity to escape from the valley, and the young master was angry, so he chased after him, but he didn't expect to encounter an ambush in the woods. The young master was besieged by Zuo Liancheng and another person, and unfortunately died.
These explanations have been spoken twice by the chief, and although there are slight discrepancies between the front and back, the general plot is the same, and there are no problems. Now that the chief had called himself over again, could it be that he had found something wrong? Although the three of them had ten thousand reluctances in their hearts, they did not dare to run away, so they had to tremble and follow the old man, and once again went into the chief's house to ask.
As soon as the three of them entered the hall, they clearly felt the oppression and tension of the atmosphere in the room. The chief sat in the middle of the hall on the Grand Master's chair, his eyes breathing fire and his face like frost. The other elders of the clan sat on either side, also silent, their faces gloomy as if they were about to drip water.
When the three of them saw this scene, they were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they involuntarily knelt down in front of everyone, all of them looking uncertain and drenched in cold sweat.
"Liu Lao Wu, you can talk about today's events and tell you again. Listen, you can't hide anything, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you. Great Elder Liu Qingyang glanced at the three of them in disgust, his face was stern, and his eyes were not good.
"Yes, Grand Elder. In the past few days, we have gone into the mountains to hunt with the young master......" The middle-aged man named Liu Lao Wu who was named by the Great Elder suddenly complained in his heart, he was the one who was cut off his right hand and right wrist by Zuo Liancheng Sword today, because he was the first to escape first, plus he was clever in his heart, he did not choose the same escape route as others, but hid in other places in the woods, so he escaped by luck. I didn't expect that the first thing the Great Elder asked was himself, and I didn't know if the Great Elder would blame himself for running away for his life regardless of his companions, and then remembering that the Great Elder was selfless on weekdays, and once he compared to the real style of acting and not recognizing his relatives, he was even more uneasy in his heart, and in desperation, he had to repeat what he had said to the chief twice before. It's not that he deliberately concealed the truth. But he really didn't dare to wait for the chief's face to tell the young master about the bloody disaster because of the flowers, so not only would he be sorry for the young master who had died, but even the chief would have a dull face, and besides, it was himself and another brother who had died in battle who instigated the young master to set up an ambush in the Black Snake Valley to ambush the three people of the Shenlong tribe, even if you told the truth of the matter, you would not be able to escape death. Anyway, he had already lied in front of the chief twice before, and now that he wanted to change his words, there was no such possibility, so he could only hope that the Great Elder would not find out about his lie and get away with it.
"You're panicking!" Although Liu Lao Wang Ming underestimated the Great Elder's judgment and reasoning ability, as soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder became furious. I saw him throw the teacup in his hand to the ground fiercely, and he immediately fell to pieces.
"You're a fool yourself, do you still want to treat us all as fools? What kind of person is the young master, don't we still know? Although he is a bit arrogant on weekdays, how has he ever ever conspired against others behind his back? If it weren't for the instigation of you people behind his back, how could he go to the Black Snake Valley, which is prone to conflict, and still have disputes with others? If it weren't for the fact that you relied on your large number of people and had evil thoughts in your hearts, and wanted to rob other girls, how could the three of them dare to have a conflict with more than 20 of you, and they would have taken the lead in making a move? Come on, drag out this Liu Lao Wu who killed the young master, and behead me!"
As soon as the Great Elder's words fell, three or four big men ran in from outside the door, dragging Liu Lao Wu, who was already paralyzed with fright, like a mess of mud, out of the ground like a dead dog, and it didn't take long for a bloody human head to be lifted in by a big man and thrown in front of the other two people who were still kneeling on the ground. The great elder in charge of the tribe's criminal law really didn't recognize his six relatives, ignoring the chief's ugly face, and even more ignoring Liu Lao Wu's wailing and begging for mercy, he sent Liu Lao Wu to the king of Hades to accompany his young master in one sentence. As for whether this Liu Lao Wu will still serve his young master in the Netherworld Mansion, and whether he will instigate the young master to do those things that hurt the heavens and reason, then only the ghost will know and care.
The Great Elder Liu Qingyang didn't even glance at the heads of the people who were still bleeding and steaming on the ground, so he turned his head and stared at the two people on the ground who had already been frightened and were shaking like chaff.
"You two, who is going to tell me about today's events?" The Great Elder's words were as cold and ruthless as his face at this time, as if the execution of Liu Lao Wu just now had never happened at all, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotional fluctuation, but in the ears of the two kneeling on the ground, it was like a sudden thunder in a snowy winter day, which made their hearts shake, and they could no longer afford the slightest thought of getting away with it.
"I, I'll say it first. Great, great elder, we have indeed been with the young master and the young master in the past few days, fighting and hunting in the mountains. No, but ......" Pity the two people who were kneeling on the ground, they had already been frightened by the momentum of the Great Elder, and the three souls had left their bodies, and the seven spirits had returned to the sky. The two of you said a word, stammered the cause and effect of the matter, the ins and outs of the matter, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and retold it in detail, no longer daring to hide it. Joke, is the wisdom of the Great Elder comparable to that of these little people? Previously, Liu Lao Wu thought that he was very smart, and he tried to hide the truth of the matter with the two of them, wanting to hide from the world and the sea, and get away with it, but he was not seen through by the Great Elder at a glance, and now he even lost his life. Fortunately, it was Liu Lao Wu who asked the Great Elder just now, not the two of them. Otherwise, it would not be Liu Lao Wu who was pulled out and beheaded just now, but one of the two of them. Thinking of this, people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fortunately, the ancestor appeared and the Bodhisattva blessed the two of them to escape for the time being. The two of them really wanted to immediately reach out and touch their necks, and feel the head that was still intact on his body, but they were afraid that the Great Elder would find out, so they could only resist the urge to live the rest of their lives.
"Is there anything else you would like to add?", the Grand Elder's tone remained cold. But it also lost its previous aggressive murderous aura.
"No, no, Grand Elder. If you have any questions, just ask. Seeing that the Great Elder's tone no longer contained the previous killing intent, the hearts of the two of them were relaxed at the same time, and the language that had just stammered became fluent, and they replied in unison.
"Well, you two don't have the audacity to deceive this seat. The Great Elder's tone calmed down a lot, pondered for a while, and then pointed to the man on the left who had gauze wrapped around his arm and his entire left arm hanging from his chest with a rope and asked, "You said that one of the three people of the Divine Dragon Tribe was dressed not at all as a local of ours, what is the matter?"
"Back to the Great Elder, that person is indeed not dressed like us locals. The clothes he wore had a lot of strange patterns, some green, some gray, and some yellow, and they were very close-fitting, not as wide as the clothes we were wearing, and the blouse was not as long as ours. By the way, he also had a belt around his waist that was made of unknown material, about this wide. The Great Elder Bai couldn't understand that life, so he deliberately stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand to compare the width of the belt, and continued, "The weapon that person uses is also very strange, very short, very small, not much bigger than a slap, but it is very powerful. I don't know how he used it, but I heard four consecutive sounds of '呯', '呯', '呯', '呯', '呯', and the four brothers who gathered in front of them were killed. I was frightened at once, and then, after they had run away, I took a special look at the bodies of the four brothers, all of whom had been pierced by something through the chest, the front of which was small, but the size of a little finger, but the hole behind me was almost the size of a rice bowl. At that time, everyone was only chasing after those three people, and I didn't stay to take a closer look, I don't know what was going on. Great Elder, that's all I know, I haven't hidden anything from it, and I hope that the Great Elder will learn from it. “
"Can you draw me what that man looks like and the weapon he uses? Seeing that the things in front of him were described so carefully, not only did he not have any intention of blaming him anymore, but he also changed to a completely different tone of language from before, and seemed to be full of appreciation and encouragement.
"I can draw it, Great Elder, why don't I draw it for you now?" That person is a flexible person, and naturally he will not give up this rare opportunity to express himself.
"Go ahead, try to draw as much detail as possible, and send it over as soon as it's finished. With a wave of his hand, the Great Elder let the man walk out. Then he looked at the other one left.
"You can go too, there's nothing to do with you here. ”
