Chapter 37: The Council of Elders

When the disciples guarding outside the main hall heard that the Great Elder was also coming to participate, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, this is a rare thing.

This great elder is the enlightened world, he has never liked to ask about the affairs of the sect, he only knows how to practice, because he is the senior brother of their generation, so he will follow him, and few people will account for this matter.

"There won't be anything serious, right?" The disciple outside the main hall was excited, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly rushed away.

In a short time, there were eight people gathered in the Kung Fu Hall.

They are the head of the Creation Dao, the head of the Punishment Courtyard Ring World Daoist, the Miscellaneous Courtyard Elder Fengshi, the Xingshi Elder and the Huishi Elder who take care of the Library Pavilion, the Qishi Elder and the Lecture Elder of the Inner Courtyard Chuan Gong Hall, and the head of the assistant Elder Shunshi.

This Shunshi elder is also the senior brother of the head of the family, and the two of them were handed over by one master.

Seeing that everyone had come, Elder Shunshi first arched his hand and asked, "Master, the people are here, I don't know what the so-called thing is to summon everyone together?"

Creation Dao said: "Don't be impatient, the senior brother hasn't arrived yet." ”

Everyone was stunned, and when they were thinking that this meeting would actually require the senior brother to participate, the laughter of the enlightened Taoist came: "The old man is late, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”

Elder Shunshi snorted coldly in his heart: "The old guy who relies on the old and sells the old." ”

However, everyone stood up respectfully to greet them.

The enlightened Taoist naturally sat in the first seat.

As soon as he sat down and realized the world, he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what kind of big things the sect has sent out, and even I have to come to the council." ”

The Creation Daoist glanced at Elder Shunshi and asked, "How is the communication on the Ran family's side?"

Elder Shunshi replied, "They insisted that we hand over the named disciple. ”

After saying this, he looked at the Daoist of the Enlightened World again, and said in a reproachful tone: "Senior brother, the good apprentice you taught actually instigated the students under your name to beat the children of the Ran family to be disabled. ”

The Wushi Daoist was stunned for a moment, and asked inexplicably: "Is the consequence of defeating the people of the Ran family very serious?"

Seeing the ignorant attitude of the Daoist of the Enlightened World, Elder Shunshi became angry: "Senior brother, you only know the cultivation of one mind, do you know how the use of my Wutong Sect came from? In order to let their family children come to my Wutong Sect to learn authentic martial arts, the Ten Great Families have to pay a tribute of 50,000 catties of grain to the Wutong Sect every year to curry favor with us, but now someone has abolished the people of the Ran family, and the Ran family wants us to hand over the murderer, otherwise they will stop paying tribute to us with food." ”

"Is this a threat to us?" said the Enlightened Daoist angrily, "Did I send him the 50,000 catties of grain from the Wutong Sect?"

Elder Shunshi snorted coldly and said: "You only know how to hide in a clean place to practice, and you don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive, and you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are easy to say, that's 50,000 catties of grain." ”

Elder Hui Shi, who was in charge of the library pavilion, said: "If his family dares to threaten with these 50,000 catties of grain, does he not plan to send his children to the Wutong Sect to learn art in the future? ”

The elder of the Inner Courtyard Transmission Hall said: "Senior Brother Huishi, you are a bit arbitrary when you say this, you are just a registered disciple, and it is not worth making a big fuss. ”

Elder Shunshi took the opportunity to interject: "I'm just afraid that the Ran family will make such a fuss, and several other families will also follow suit, and the ten families will join forces, which is 500,000 catties of grain." ”

Elder Hui Shi looked at Elder Feng Shi and asked, "Senior Brother Feng Shi, how much will the loss of these 500,000 catties of grain affect us?"

Elder Feng Shi arched his hand and said: "A few of us plus the descendants of the brothers here, there are one hundred and twenty people, there are more than 200 inner disciples, there are more than 200 registered disciples, there are 500 disciples in the miscellaneous courtyard, and there are more than 1,000 people up and down the mountain. ”

"How's that going to work? The elder shouted, "How can we martial arts practitioners only talk about food and clothing, is it just to talk about this matter, do you still need to discuss this, just hand over that named disciple directly to the Ran family, what a big deal." ”

Elder Shunshi smiled secretly.

After the Elder of the Ring World, who had not spoken, glanced at the Elder of the Ring World, he still looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

The head of the sect took in the expressions of all the elders, and he said unhurriedly: "In order to improve the strength of the disciples of the sect, everyone here has formulated the rules in the ring, as far as I know, the kid from the Ran family has disabled a lot of people in the ring, is it possible that someone will pay the price if he is injured in the ring, I want to ask you, where is the majesty of the Wutong faction?"

Elder Shishi stopped talking, and the head of the sect raised the situation to the point of related to the majesty of the sect, if he insisted on handing over the named disciple again, it would be in vain to disregard the dignity of the sect, and he would not dare to carry this pot easily.

Seeing that no one dared to speak easily, Elder Shunshi said, "What the head said is a bit serious. ”

Creation Dao said: "Then according to the wishes of the senior brother, we will listen to the Ran family and hand over the named disciple, then in the future, should the Wutong faction obey the orders of the ten major families." ”

"It's just a registered disciple. Elder Shunshi emphasized.

At this time, Elder Wushi couldn't help but interject and asked, "Which student of Kunjian beat the people of the Ran family?"

Elder Hui Shi also asked: "I remember that Kun Jian just came down the mountain to teach this year, his students have only been on the mountain for more than two months, and the children who can be selected by the Ran family to enter the Wutong faction are not ordinary people, but they were defeated by Kun Jian's students, I think this student is by no means vulgar, my Wutong faction has not produced any decent characters for a long time, and the door of my library is very lonely." ”

Elder Jieshi said lightly: "That student's name is Lei Sheng, and he is only seven years old. ”

Elder Wushi was shocked, this was not the apprentice he had just received, he looked at the master, and just happened to realize that the Creator Daoist was looking at him.

Just as Elder Wushi was about to say something, the Creation Daoist gave him a slightly calming look.

Elder Goyo swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

At this time, Elder Fengshi said in a timely manner: "If the Ran family threatens our Wutong faction with food, then he is very wrong, everyone here knows what kind of virtue the children sent by the ten major families are, we have been hindered by the ten major families' negligent control, this is not a good phenomenon in the long run, if the ten major families unite to resist us because of the affairs of the Ran family, then we will take advantage of the situation to get rid of this potential crisis, this is my Wutong faction's family affairs, and it is not anyone's turn to interfere." ”

"That's 500,000 catties of grain. Elder Shunshi emphasized again.

Elder Hui Shi said, " If the people are struggling today, bandits are rampant, and everyone is in danger, I don't believe that they will have a stalemate with our Wutong faction because of this kind of thing, our Wutong faction is an authentic martial arts sect that has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, why are their ten major families willing to give 50,000 catties of grain every year to make friends with us, isn't it because of our own strength there, why bother to mess up now, the head is right, if you follow the Ran family, then where is the majesty of my Wutong faction, even if it is just a registered disciple, it can't be handed over, not to mention that it is still a promising little guy。 ”
