Chapter 273: Clan Strife
Fang Yan thought about it, and asked for 'sex' to share the thoughts in his heart and see if his mother had any good suggestions, "I am afraid that I can't hold on to Nancheng, and the child came back this time just to meet his father and mother, and then we will go to Lieyang City together.xshuotxt.com." More Visits:. However, even this Great Immortal City does not dare to say that it is impregnable, at most it is stronger than Yannan City, and there is no clue where to go next, and it is necessary to escape one step at a time, anyway, you can't sit here and wait for death. ”
"Besides, I am now pregnant with Zhujidan, and it is a disaster wherever I go, only by finding a place to build a foundation as soon as possible can I avoid disaster, even if I dare not stay here for a long time, no matter whether I can build a foundation in the future, I will not come back to Nancheng again. This trip is just to persuade my father and mother to leave with me, so as not to worry about each other in the catastrophe, and continue to stay here, the future is really worrying. ”
"I hope to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible, the child does not dare to delay too much here, once the news leaks, it will not be my own disaster, I am afraid it will affect the family. It's just that what should happen in the future, the child has no idea now, and always thinks that leaving early is the best policy. My mother has been a layman for many years, and I don't know if there is any good advice. ”
"I think what Yan'er said is reasonable, this Yannan City is not our Fang family, why bother to stay here for their funeral. Besides, although the matter of the catastrophe is not clear, who can say the danger clearly, and it is impossible to stake the whole Fang family on the southern city, and it is good to be able to escape a way out of the way to continue the incense of the Fang family. The ancestors of your Fang family, didn't they come here from other places, didn't they also spread out here and passed down for thousands of years. ”
In front of the two of them, the Lin family has always had no scruples in speaking, and even said these rebellious words, but the reason is not wrong, and he immediately expressed support for his son's suggestion, and waited for Fang Tong to speak. But Fang Tong still shook his head and was silent, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to reprimand Lin's nonsense and 'nonsense', and he was afraid that the old 'fault' in his heart had not been changed.
Seeing that Fang Tong was still pondering, the Lin clan suddenly became angry, and shouted loudly, "You have something to say, why did you lose your mind at the critical moment, an old man is not as good as me, a 'woman' Taoist family." ”
Fang Tong suddenly looked embarrassed, but he really couldn't make up his mind, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "What Yan'er said is a way out, but it is only difficult to persuade those people in the clan to agree, a few of our own family members just left, I am afraid that it will not be good to meet again in the future, and the patriarch alone will not be able to say it." As an elder of the clan, I fled with my family first when a catastrophe came, where did I put the interests of the family?
"You won't say it another way, if the catastrophe comes, the southern city really can't resist it, and the whole family is buried here, you will be worthy of the family? How will the ancestors of your Fang family look at you? You won't think more from the perspective of continuing the bloodline of the Fang family, this is the foundation of the family, I think the patriarch is not so confused, and even a few more such ways out can not be considered, is it possible that everyone is as brainless as you?"
The Lin family grabbed the white for a moment, and Fang Tong was speechless, so he had to promise to go back and talk to the patriarch. Then the husband and wife told a few more words in the dialect, and took advantage of the night to leave quietly and go straight to Yannan City.
In the middle of the night, the ancestral hall of the Fang family was brightly lit, and all the elders and figures of the family were present, such a scene had not been seen for many years, as if something big was about to happen in the clan, and everyone was worried, and they were all suspicious.
Not long after, the patriarch Fang Qian stepped into the hall, this old man who seemed to be in his last years was also heavy at this time, showing a bit of majesty, as soon as he came in, everyone immediately fell silent, and looked at him with their eyes brushed. Fang Qian sat down steadily, and then pressed his hands weakly, but his movements were less calm than before.
After everyone was seated, Fang Qian suddenly stood up again, and said loudly, "You fellow sects, you must have heard about the catastrophe, but what the power of this catastrophe is, you are afraid that it is not clear, even the old man is ambiguous. The rumors may not be credible, but some signs may have to be investigated, and our family seems to have been too smooth over the years. ”
Then Fang Qian said the things about the Great Tribulation, which was basically not much different from what the dialect said, it can be seen that Fang Tong was not idle after he came back, but he didn't say it as directly as the dialect. Even so, it still caused a lot of shock in the hall, the Fang family has lived in a corner of the south of the country for thousands of years, and the news is very closed, if it weren't for the fact that they have opened up several trade routes outside in recent years, it is not much different from the frog sitting in the well.
When Fang Tong returned to the clan, he immediately met with the patriarch Fang Qian, and told him everything he had discussed with Fang Yan, especially the matter of the Great Tribulation in great detail, although it was all speculation, it could correspond to some seemingly accidental things. Although Fang Qian was old, he was not confused, and immediately saw the key point, but it was related to all the family members, Fang Qian did not express his position immediately, but ordered to immediately convene the family members to discuss.
Convening everyone overnight to discuss the matter itself shows Fang Qian's approval of this matter, he has been in charge of the clan for decades, although he has been spinning around in family affairs, it does not mean that he is lonely and unheard, how the other party family deals with the catastrophe, in fact, he also has a plan in his heart, but he has never told anyone about it.
Fang Tong's news came at the right time, how could the scheming Fang Qian miss this opportunity, but he would not express his position easily, but first wanted to see what everyone thought. In the end, Fang Qian said, "It's a matter of life and death for the family, let's talk about it." ”
A group of people are talking about it below, this news is too abrupt, and it is also a little terrifying, even Yannan City may not be able to hold it, what should the more than 10,000 people in the Fang family do. Didn't those few families take precautions and build a large number of castles with each family in the city, which looked very strong, and couldn't they hold it?
Someone immediately stood up and said, "Patriarch, the city guards of Yannan City have spent so much money in the past few years, and the city defenses built are not enough to withstand this catastrophe." Moreover, there are many monks in the city, and if this is not enough to defend it, it will be safer elsewhere than here, but there has been a great influx of people into the city lately, and we may not be able to give up this fortified city and go elsewhere. ”
"Yes, there is a foundation that our family has been operating for thousands of years here, and there is a city defense built by the family in the city with great effort, and we must not give up lightly. If this catastrophe is not as expected, the loss of the family will be too great, and if you want to get a place like Yannan City again, I am afraid that it will not be possible, and it will become an empty word to revive the family, I hope the patriarch and you will think twice. ”
"My brother is right, and even if he wants to give up this place, he should find a better place than Yannan City. The catastrophe is coming, is there any better way to avoid the catastrophe than here, if this is the case, the younger brother has no opinion. ”
"It's impossible, you don't see how many people are around the city 'gates' every day, and the four city 'gates' are dark and oppressive before dawn, all of them want to take refuge in the city, and they can't wait. And when they get to the city, they are also uneasy, in order to be able to stay, there are people rushing to do any work, and if you want to hire a few people, you don't need a few spirit stones, isn't it just to stay here, why do we still want to go out. ”
"That is, if we leave and go to other places, aren't we just like these people, and once we leave, we will never come back, and it will be difficult to find a place to settle down. What if we can't even find a place to stay, and then the catastrophe rises again, and we don't have a place at either end?"
In the final analysis, they still don't want to suffer hardships and suffer crimes, and they are reluctant to live comfortably in the city. Moreover, everyone still didn't want to believe that this catastrophe could easily break down the city defenses of Yannan City, and the majestic and tall city walls over the years have become a reassurance for the residents of the city, and a glance can make them feel great comfort.
Seeing this, Fang Tong secretly shook his head, thinking that the patriarch would tell him about these situations, even if there would not be many people who agreed, but it would not be as one-sided as now, all of them were unwilling to leave, but he was afraid that some people would question him in his heart for bad intentions, but he didn't say it.
This is also the reason why he didn't dare to express his stance in front of the dialect, he can also understand the thoughts of everyone in the clan, who is willing to leave his hometown and leave the place where he has lived for a lifetime, not to mention that the Fang family has been developing vigorously in recent years, and everyone who has enjoyed the benefits of the family, who is willing to give up overnight and go to a strange place to work hard.
Even Fang Tong had some such thoughts, not to mention them, a few of the disciples who grew up in the family were not like this, and the era of the ancestors who overcame obstacles was long gone. However, he knew that this matter was important, and his dialect was very reasonable, and if he did not take countermeasures, he was afraid that it would be too late to regret it.
For this reason, Fang Tong had to come out and say two sentences, "What you brothers said is also reasonable, but this catastrophe is probably far beyond our imagination, and the patriarch said just now that the birthplace of the catastrophe is likely to be Hujun Mountain, and our Yannan City is too close to there, so it is possible to bear the brunt, and I am afraid that the situation will be worse than we imagined, so we must guard against it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Fang Yuan, who had been sitting on the chair, stood up, walked to the middle of the hall and said, "What the fourth brother said seems to have some truth, but there are more than 10,000 people up and down the Fang family, not to mention the side, the 'spending' fee on this road alone is not a small number, and the clan does not have so much money to spend." It seems that the fourth brother and sister-in-law have made a lot of progress over the years, and every year the spirit stones are flowing to the family in an uproar, or the fourth brother will sponsor some, and our family will feel the kindness of the fourth brother. ”
As soon as he said that it was not 'yin' or yang, it actually attracted the echo of several people, and the angry Fang Tong's face turned blue, when did he Fang Yuan get less cheap in the clan, relying on the fact that he was the patriarch, and his appearance was not too ugly, but now he said such a thing, obviously wanting to lead everyone's spearhead to him, and he didn't know what the idea was.
Just as he was about to reply to him a few words, the patriarch Fang Qian suddenly spoke: "Lao Jiu must not be rude, how can you say that this is also your fourth brother, should he usually joke outside? What the fourth elder said is also reasonable, and it is a matter of urgency to summon you here today, so don't say anything off-topic." ”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and sat down on the chair, and then glared at Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan quickly shrank his head and turned around and sat down. But Fang Tong was blocked by the patriarch's words, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only swallow it raw, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
