Chapter 8: Undercurrents

"Patriarch, if you come one step late, I'm afraid these rabbit cubs will tear down the deacon hall," Seeing off those troublesome clansmen, the old man in yellow robe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Mingyuan and said.

"Fifth uncle, you still call me the second boy! You call me the patriarch I'm afraid of losing my life," Wang Mingyuan heard this, the majesty on his face dissipated, smiled bitterly, and said.

"Okay, okay, don't say kind words, although they won't make trouble this time, but you have to solve the spirit stone problem quickly, you know, over the years, because of certain things, some uncles are very dissatisfied with you, if the clansmen also make trouble, there will be big trouble," the old man in the yellow robe

glanced at Wang Changsheng and said earnestly.

"Fifth Uncle's words, my nephew understands, my nephew still has something to deal with, I'll come to see you another day," Wang Mingyuan nodded and left with Wang Changsheng.

"Dad, is it true that the clan can't even send out spirit stones?" Walking to a place where there was no one, Wang Changsheng glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Dad can solve it, you can cultivate with peace of mind," Wang Mingyuan's frowning brows eased, and he laughed softly, but everyone could see that his smile was forcibly squeezed out.

"Dad, can you give me a few dozen blank runes?"

"Blank rune paper, you want to learn the art of talisman making, no problem, but the number can't be too much, I'll send someone to send it to you later," Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and responded without hesitation.

"It doesn't take too much, two or three dozen are fine, and if you can't do it, it's no problem to do a dozen. ”

After today's events, Wang Changsheng realized that the pressure his father was facing was even greater than he imagined, and he should help his father do something.

Not long after Wang Changsheng returned to his residence, Wang Mingyuan sent someone to send the blank rune paper, there were ten dozen, this amount frightened Wang Changsheng, if it weren't for the fact that the person who sent the thing was his father's cronies, Wang Changsheng wouldn't dare to accept it.

What Wang Changsheng didn't know was that the clan purchased a large number of blank rune papers, but for some reason, they couldn't sell them, and they were pressed in the warehouses in the clan, Wang Mingyuan used the power of the patriarch, and ten dozen blank rune papers could still be obtained, of course, Wang Mingyuan also hoped that his son could learn the art of talisman making,

I can help a little bit in the future.

There were eleven more dozen blank runes in his hand, Wang Changsheng did not start making talismans immediately, although he had read the contents of the jade slip several times, but out of caution, Wang Changsheng read the contents of the jade slip again.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Wang Changsheng had lunch, bathed and changed clothes, and then began to make talismans.

In half a month, Wang Changsheng not only mastered the three fire attribute runes that constituted the fireball runes, but he was also familiar with the basic runes of other attributes, but he had not tried them on the blank rune paper.

In a quiet room of the Wang family, a middle-aged man in a blue robe sat on a chair, and not far from him, a middle-aged man with a long beard stood with a very respectful expression.

If Wang Changsheng was here, he would definitely recognize the blue-robed man as his uncle, Wang Mingming.

"Wang Hai, the second child guarantees as the patriarch, and he will definitely solve the spirit stone problem within half a year?" Wang Zhizhi looked at the middle-aged man and said lightly.

"Yes, the patriarch said it in front of many clansmen, and many clansmen couldn't make any more trouble after hearing this, so they left under the persuasion of the five elders," Wang Hai replied in a respectful voice.

"Did he say how to solve the spirit stone problem, or what measures would be taken?"

"Not really, you see if you want to make trouble again. ”

"No need, I have my own measure in this matter, you can go down! When I become the patriarch, your benefits will be indispensable," Wang Zhizhi shook his head and made a promise.

"Yes," Wang Hai heard this, his face was happy, and he retreated respectfully.

"Father, you don't believe that the second uncle can solve the spirit stone problem in half a year, right?" As soon as the middle-aged man walked away, a young man in white with clear eyebrows walked in, and his facial features looked seven or eight points similar to the man in blue robes.

"Hmph, I don't know the real situation of the family? Don't say that it may not be solved in half a year, he Wang Mingyuan is incompetent, then abdicate and let me come, I have already said that several clan elders have been moved, and in a few days they will jointly propose to re-elect the patriarch, if nothing else, I will be the twenty-fourth generation patriarch," In the end, Wang Mingming's face couldn't help it

There was a hint of excitement.

"Dad, since the situation of the family is so unoptimistic, then you ······" When the young man in white heard this, he frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

"Then why do I still have to take this mess, right? Changchen, my surname is Wang, I have the responsibility to clean up this mess, I and your second uncle are just different in philosophy, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, to govern the family better, and it is precisely because of this that those clan elders will support me, and there are still a few months to be a big competition in the clan once every ten years,

Learn more from your brother, practice in retreat, and strive to get a good ranking, but don't embarrass me," Wang Mingzhi glanced at his son and solemnly admonished.

"Got it, I'll leave first if it's okay, so I won't bother you Qingxiu," Wang Changchen nodded, and said disapprerovingly, I don't know if I listened.

"Second brother, you have been the patriarch for more than ten years, and it is time to change people," Wang Mingzhi closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Wutong Garden, where Wang Mingyuan lives, is also the place where he deals with family affairs.

Wang Mingyuan walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his face full of sadness.

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a thin figure and a black Taoist robe walked into the courtyard.

"Third brother, how is it, did they agree to buy the blank rune paper in our hands?" Seeing the middle-aged Taoist priest, Wang Mingyuan walked forward quickly and asked.

"Second brother, they agreed, but they were only willing to buy it at a price of thirty percent," the middle-aged Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said.

"What? Sancheng, aren't they obviously robbing?" Wang Mingyuan heard this, his face was happy, and then turned to annoyance.

"Second brother, it's all my fault for this, if I hadn't mistrusted them and bought a large amount of blank rune paper, the family's funds would not have been able to turn over, let alone even the clansmen's spirit stones every month, if the clan elder really wants to be held accountable, I will carry everything, it's a big deal I won't do it," In the end, the middle-aged Taoist priest had a resolute look on his face.

"Okay, okay, what's the use of talking about this now, besides, I nodded my head about this matter, and I am the first person responsible. ”

"But ······"

"It's nothing, in this way, you run farther away and see if anyone in other markets is willing to buy the blank rune paper in our hands, if not, we can sell it to them at a price of thirty percent, so many blank rune paper can't be sold in your hand, it's really unbearable," Wang Mingyuan sighed, said a little helplessly, and blamed himself a little in his heart,

If it weren't for greed, he wouldn't have fallen into someone else's fist, resulting in a large number of blank runes in his hands that he couldn't sell.

"Okay, second brother, I heard that some clansmen made trouble in the deacon hall today, nothing serious!" The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked a little nervously.

"You are well-informed, nothing happened, fortunately, the birth of a child has been delayed for some time, and it has not led to further deterioration of the situation, but if there is no spirit stone distribution next month, I guess they will still make trouble, you find a buyer as soon as possible, and sell the hoarded blank rune paper, with me in the clan, there will be no major incident," Wang Mingyuan ordered.

When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, he didn't want to say anything more, chatted a few words, and left.

"Patriarch patriarch, patriarch, this patriarch is not easy to be!" Wang Mingyuan looked at the back of the middle-aged Taoist priest leaving, sighed, and muttered to himself.
