Guardian Red Maple Incident 155.An order not to be disobeyed?
His shoulders sank, and when he looked back, he was glaring at him.
"Are you crazy! Do you want to live in front of so many people!"
"Hmmm......"
Frowning and pursing his lips, Zhuo Nan seemed to hesitate for a long time, but just popped out such a sentence:
"Are you sure they all beat me combined?"
As soon as he heard this, Chaofan was stunned for a moment, and almost rolled his eyes and fainted!
"It's not a joke like that! That's the patriarch, brother, patriarch! Where did you get this inexplicable self-confidence! And there are also the deputy patriarch and hundreds of people here, you are sober, brother!"
......
"Poof—"
Looking at the transcendent who danced with his hands and his expression was flustered, Zhuo Nan couldn't help it, his fingers covered his mouth, and his eyes were directly bent into funny.
"Stupid, I just love to scare you, I'm not stupid enough to do it now...... But don't let me be in vain for these two months of training......"
grinning with a mouthful of beautiful white teeth, Zhuo Nan raised his thumb to himself with a wicked look:
"And I have two secret killers that I haven't shown...... I can't even imagine myself being strong now, hahaha!"
"Secret...... Killer feature?"
Taking two steps back, the transcendent retracted his hand.
"That's right!"
The pupils reflected the ceremony on the high platform, Zhuo Nan frowned and smiled, his eyes were full of confidence, and he really seemed to have an inexplicable sense of security.
......
"The oath is over! Now, I announce—"
Ouyang Ji raised his hands and said loudly to everyone:
"The sixteenth patriarch of the Xuanyuan family is Xuanyuan Xiaofei!"
hastily announced the list of winners, although everyone in the audience followed suit, they didn't feel good in their hearts.
What kind of inheritance ceremony is this?
From the beginning to the present, in less than five minutes, the inheritance has been directly determined?
Is it such a hasty thing to inherit the throne?
In front of the sacred square and ceremonial platform, is it actually a thing used by the people of the lower classes of this world to hold the three treasures of the family inheritance?
Xuanyuan Sword, Flame Crystal, Patriarch Clan Emblem, these are all divine objects!
Toby had already put on all three, holding the crimson flat sword in his hand, still waving at the people below with that smile.
What kind of mentality is this? Always with a smile like this, people feel uncomfortable when they see his face.
There were a few old people in the audience who had also participated in the ceremony, and if it weren't for the general trend, they didn't even want to applaud at all.
How many people are only cooperating on the surface, but in fact, they are very resistant in their hearts, especially a few children of the Xuanyuan family who are dressed in vermilion robes and have a reluctant smile on their faces.
Many of them didn't really want Toby to be their patriarch at all.
But he's already done with it.
Although they didn't say it, at the same time, everyone's thoughts were almost the same, and they all thought that this Ouyang family's inheritance ceremony was simply terrible!
However, fortunately, after the ceremony is completed, everyone will be able to eat immediately, which is the fundamental purpose of many people, and this time it was completed quickly, and many people's minds were no longer on the patriarch.
......
"Now, let us all celebrate the birth of a new king...... Perform prostration!"
Suddenly, Ouyang Ji's voice resounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, and some even pinched the thigh meat directly, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"Prostration?!"
Everyone asked almost in unison, their faces blank and incredulous.
What is prostration? Prostration is the highest level of ordinary etiquette today!
This country has never failed to follow the will to force the requirement to prostrate the bow, even the two who are at the commanding heights today, the Dean of the Martial Rite Spiritual School and the Pavilion Master of the Red Dust Pavilion, they do not have this right, let alone the patriarch of the lower family!
In this world, according to the regulations and legends, this kind of etiquette can only be willingly by the initiator, in order to be seen by heaven and earth, to get the effect it deserves, generally parents, teachers will have the treatment, if you are forced to kneel to others, it is completely rubbing the dignity of the kneeling!
But he, a new official who had just taken office as the head of the three fires, and was also the head of the clan, would actually make such an unreasonable request to let everyone bow to him together!
It's just vexatious!
It's just a little kid, why should he, what qualifications does he have to do this!
Quite a few people have already gritted their teeth, and they can't even tolerate it anymore!
But no one in the crowd resisted!
Why? Or because of the patriarch!
Everyone is a member of a major family, has received a good quality education and environment, and the family treats them well, and being able to enter this venue is the proof!
But the eldest patriarch in this family, whom you once loved and admired the most, suddenly said to you one day, because I am on the throne, so you have to kneel down and congratulate me, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is compulsive!
What happens if you don't kneel?
They got so many benefits because of their family that they didn't even dare to imagine it!
It's like your dearest mother suddenly saying to you, "Get out of this house today without kneeling down and thanking me for your nurturing grace", this is as uncomfortable as feeding you a mouthful of!
It's like a foreign comic that you used to like quite a lot, and suddenly one day you were insulted by a real hammer to your country, this sudden feeling of sadness is very disappointing!
Ouyang Ji's right eyelid trembled slightly, how could he say this?
He only had to say this because of Toby's request!
It's all a bad idea from that dead fat man with a cheap smile on his face!
"How so...... I don't want ......"
In the crowd, a teenager's face showed a very reluctant look, he looked at his father, who had always spoiled himself and was even willing to bring himself to such an occasion, hugged his thigh, but the father frowned, but he pushed it away directly, and said solemnly and angrily:
"Nonsense! you kid...... It is our honor as a people to celebrate the birth of the patriarch...... Get down on your knees together!"
The father took two steps back, straightened the hem of his vermilion clothes, and went directly in front of everyone, "snapped", and landed on his knees!
A dignified seven-foot man knelt down in front of his own child in front of the patriarch who was younger than himself on the high platform!
For a moment, everyone was shocked, but they remained silent, seeing that one person had knelt down, and the sound of knees landing on the ground sounded in the rest of the places, and then, dozens of knees landing sounded frequently, men, women and children, as long as they were present, almost all of them did as instructed, bent their legs and knelt.
As soon as one person in the crowd began to act, the others would follow suit, and they would not care about any dignity, and hundreds of people groveled at the same time, facing the new patriarch who was high up on the Redwood Cliff, what a spectacle this scene was!
"I'm sorry ......"
Ouyang Ji closed his eyes in pain, this scene reminded him of some bad things.
What is the difference between this scene and the kneeling posture of hundreds of slave captives at that time?
"Greetings to the patriarch's ascendancy, may the family last ......a thousand years"
Everyone has unwillingness in their hearts, but they still bow their heads and say, get up, kowtow, get up, kowtow, back and forth several times.
Everyone didn't expect that they would finally be able to come to the ceremony, but they encountered such a scene, which was so regrettable, and some of the young ones even shed tears of grievance, if they knew that this was the case, they would not have come anyway.
Because it's so embarrassing! If you have to choose one of kneeling or streaking, many people would prefer to choose the latter!
"Everyone is wishing me well, so happy......"
Toby chuckled and raised his eyebrows, looking at him as if he was very proud.
"No, wait......"
Suddenly, dragging a sleepy accent, Xuanyuan Zhi, who didn't look awake, suddenly stretched out his finger and said:
"That guy didn't kneel......"
Although the voice was silent, it was like a muffled thunder that exploded in the group of patriarchs.
The eyes of everyone on the stage followed the direction he pointed, and they saw that in the colorful crowd, a man in the silver-green formal dress of the Nangong family was putting his hands in his pockets, raising his head and looking this way.
A lion-like earthy yellow mane is very conspicuous, although it is far away, but it can be seen clearly, and his eyes are full of rebellion!
This man is Zhuo Nan!
......
"Hey...... What are you doing, man, get down! Hey...... If this continues...... Hey!"
Chaofan lay at his feet, and whispered to Zhuo Nan with his teeth and claws, but Zhuo Nan's eyes were calm, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of listening!
He stood alone in the crowd, like a chicken!
......
"Oh, this guy, in our family's clothes!"
Nangong Xia Xi's eyes lit up, and the tone of his voice changed to a higher tone, and he pulled the left side behind him with some excitement, and said like a little girl:
"Fluttershy, look!"
Behind her stood a familiar little girl on the left, who was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius in the freshman entrance test two months ago, and was also Nangong Xiaxi's daughter, Nangong Xiaodie.
"That person ......"
She still held the grinning lion puppet Mimi in her arms.
Suddenly, she let out a small exclamation, her eyes sparkled, and a red cloud rose on her pink little face, as if she had seen something, and her eyes were magnifying Zhuo Nan's figure little by little.
"That big brother's hair is like Mimi'...... Hey hey ......"
She smiled naturally and showed a row of small baby teeth, and her arms clamped the lion puppet in her arms, as if she was very happy.
"Dare to stand out indifferently in this situation, that boy ......"
Smiling and cocking his jade legs, Nangong Xia Xi looked at him with interest, and couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.
"It's a little handsome!"
......
"It's that kid, why is he here?"
Ouyang Ji's eyes widened, staring at them in disbelief.
"Hasn't he been safely sent to the Wuyi Spiritual School by Zen......'er?
It would be nothing to say that the other patriarchs did not react excessively, and Toby also noticed Zhuo Nan obviously, but he stared at it for more than ten seconds, stunned and did not react.
"This guy...... It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it......."
"Is it some weakling you once defeated who came to find trouble?"
Xuanyuan reminded kindly.
"No way, I never remember what the weak look like...... Oh, I remembered......"
The corners of his mouth suddenly opened, and Toby said with some excitement:
"It's the guy next to that pretty girl!"
"Ahh......h Is that the girl you've been talking about?"
Yawning, Xuanyuan Zhi asked by tapping his shoulder with a stick.
"That's right, no wonder it's so familiar......"
Touching his chin, Toby suddenly rushed forward without warning, jumped directly over the fence, and jumped down!
"It's kind of interesting, I'll check it out. ”
The distance between this high platform and the ground is hundreds of feet, to say the least, he didn't hesitate at all, if an ordinary person jumped, he would definitely fall into the height of flesh!
Before everyone could react, the ground suddenly trembled, and there was a thunderous sound when the heavy object landed, and a burst of sand instantly rose and fascinated the eyes, and after it dispersed, I saw a figure with a large body and a fiery red cockscomb head slowly appeared.
In an instant, many people's hearts seemed to tremble, and a terrifying terrifying coercion immediately overwhelming the world, Toby's lenses reflected the light, looking completely like a nobody, he raised his hand and carried the weapon he had just inherited on his shoulder, this coercion was actually emitted by him!
Looking ahead, he was walking straight in the direction of Zhuo Nan!
