Chapter 246: Deliberation
The woman in black trembled and helped Ni Wanqing up, and said sadly: What are you doing, get up quickly, my sister will definitely live up to your trust, you can rest assured.
As she spoke, the two hugged each other again until the whimpering no longer sounded...
Ni Wanqing, who was in white clothes, turned around and left slowly, after walking out of the place of shooting, she suddenly turned to look at the figure who had been standing behind her, two tears poured down, she tried her best to see that appearance again, and remember her forever in her heart, but the tears had already blurred her eyes, at this moment she finally turned around firmly, went straight away, and never looked back, because she was afraid that sadness would strike again.
The woman in black watched Ni Wan Qingyuan walk away, until her back faded away and disappeared into the forest, her heart was wide, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, tried her best to hide her sadness and troubles, looked into the distance quietly, and only said two words softly: cherish.
Then, I saw her jump up, and suddenly the forest shook slightly, like a howling wind and rain spreading, and a phantom image was like a ghost towards the peak of the secluded platform, and disappeared in an instant, and only a breeze was left in the whole forest, blowing through the entire mountain stream and floating across the entire sky.
A city in the east of the summer soil is in sight, this city is different from other cities, the city occupies a wide area, the houses and temples in the city are bordered compactly, from the overall view, it is like many households live closely, but a wide street runs through the whole east and west along the central axis, the streets and alleys that cross along the central axis, sometimes staggered through, the whole city has four gates, the east is the gate, the west is the back door, the north and south sides are the end gates, the city is all around, there is a high and deep wall, used to resist the enemy, the whole city highlights the majestic atmosphere, and the most striking thing is the main gate of this city, the east gate is the main gate of the city, it naturally shows its domineering, the gate is cast in gold and stone, high and wideThe stone lion placed on both sides, carved and cast exquisitely, showing a trace of aura, the top of the gate, a huge gold plaque is hung in the middle, the word "Shen Yuan" in the plaque is the dragon in the clouds, it is more solemn and mighty, and this city is one of the three major courtyards of the Xiuzhen world, the Shen Mansion Shen Yuan.
In the lobby of the Shen Yuan Council Hall, a middle-aged man is sitting, the bridge of the man's nose is high, the heavenly court is full, his face is slightly thin, he is wearing a purple brocade robe, the brocade robe is sewn with a purple leopard pattern, it is very delicate and gorgeous, a golden belt around his waist, the ring belt matches, and the whole person exudes a charming kingly atmosphere. It is not difficult to see how noble his identity is in the Shen Courtyard.
And on the side of the hall sat an old man, this person's figure, the face is slightly thin, the sideburns are like silver, the old pearl yellow, the beard is snow-white, and there are two deep lines at the center of the eyebrows, which shows a kind of unstoppable majesty, he is the first protector elder Ye Gu of the Shen Yuan, and the pulse is also a profound person in the Shen Yuan, and he is also extremely strict and fair to people, so he is also a prestige in the Shen Yuan, and no one in the Shen Yuan is disrespectful to him.
The old man got up and said respectfully to the middle-aged man: "Master, do you have something important to tell you when you invite the old man to come at this time?"
The middle-aged man got up and said slightly: Elder Ye, you don't have to be formal, you are the first protector elder of my Shen Academy, since the founding of the ancestors, you have been in charge of my Shen Yuan's punishment, sacrifice and other positions, and you are the person entrusted by the ancestors.
The old man frowned and said, "Oh! What a big deal, the courtyard master might as well say it directly."
The middle-aged man said: The day before yesterday, I received a secret letter from Qin Sihai, the head of the Qin Academy, inviting me to go to the three courtyards to discuss major matters tomorrow morning, but I did not specify what it was?
He sighed and said: I don't know what kind of medicine is buried in the bones of this Qin Courtyard, so I invited you to discuss this matter.
The old man's two thick eyebrows furrowed, and he stroked his beard and walked lightly: Qin Yuan really can't wait, over the years, Qin Yuan has used the name of suppressing demons and demons to expand its power in Xia Tu, and now its power is above my two courts, not to mention that he Qin Yuan has repeatedly proposed the merger of the three courts, he Qin Sihai is sitting in the position of the leader of the three courts, and he has already had the heart to annex my Shen Yuan and Tang Yuan, and at this time, he proposed to come to discuss major matters, it must be ulterior motives, bad intentions, why do the masters of the courtyard have to guard against it, or deal with it carefully.
The middle-aged man walked down the lobby, looked into the distance outside the hall, looked a little lonely, and muttered: I think when the three generations of ancestors of my Shen Yuan were in power, how strong the Shen Yuan was, and now... Hey, I, Shen Ling, am really ashamed of my ancestors.
The old man still said respectfully: Master of the Academy, why blame yourself, people have their own destiny, and their responsibilities are different, and my Shen Yuan can develop so far is also a matter of God's compliance, he groaned and continued: At present, the three-legged trend of the Three Courtyards has been standing for a long time, and the Qin Academy in the Three Courtyards is becoming stronger and stronger, but the power of the Tang Academy cannot be ignored, as long as I, the Shen Academy, together with the Tang Academy, jointly oppose the alliance of the Three Courtyards, then the conspiracy of the Qin Academy will not succeed.
The middle-aged man looked at the old man and said slowly: Old Ye, what I said is that as the master of the first courtyard, although I, Shen Lingrong, am entrusted by the master, but my cultivation is shallow and my ability is limited, and I am inferior to the ancestors of the past dynasties, he sighed for a long time, looked at the old man and said slowly: Murong is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility, this time I asked you to come to discuss this matter, and secondly, it is also the matter of the succession of the master of the courtyard that I discussed with Ye Lao you before... Speaking of this, his tone was slightly heavy and continued: I think this matter of succession should be decided as early as possible and cannot be delayed any longer.
Hearing this, the old man's face trembled, and he hurriedly said: Courtyard master, this matter must not be allowed, now Shen Yuan is on the cusp of this storm, and it is necessary for the courtyard master to preside over the overall situation.
Seeing the old man's reaction, the middle-aged man frowned, his face was flushed, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and said: Since the founding of the Shen Academy, it has been passed down for three generations, when the ancestor and the master were in office, how prosperous the Shen Yuan was, and now it has fallen into my hands, but the Shen Yuan is declining day by day, and I Shen Ling is incompetent in governing the Academy, so I should be able to make the virtuous as soon as possible, how can I miss the great cause of the prosperity of the Shen Academy.
Without waiting for the old man to reply, he sighed, and continued: Old Ye, do you know my heart?
The old man's tense face was slightly relaxed, but there was a hint of sadness, his sunken eyes narrowed into a line, as if full of sorrow, and he already had heartfelt words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, he sighed: The old man has followed the ancestors since he created Shen, Then follow your master Shen Yun, promoted to the first protector elder in the courtyard, the bits and pieces of the Shen Yuan experience are all forged by hard work, only today, although the current Shen Yuan does not have to be in the past, but the power is still there, it is still a hospital that can not be ignored to promote the three-legged tripod, he looked into the distance and sighed meaningfully: Shen Yuan is now declining, and I, the elder, cannot escape its responsibility, but now there are no virtuous people in the Shen Yuan, up and down the courtyard, everyone is mediocre in their cultivation, and the elders of all parties are also at the end of their old age, and no one else can be worthy of the position of the head of the house, I believe that the master of the Cloud Courtyard also does not want to see this situation today.
He paused, with begging in his eyes, and slowly knelt down and said: "Master of the courtyard, you just listen to the old man's advice, the old man begs you, for the sake of the great plan of the Shen Academy, the matter of passing on the throne will end here, and the master of the courtyard will be three or four."
The middle-aged man's face was a little gloomy, it was not difficult to see that there was a trace of complexity on his face, as the head of a courtyard, he was told by the old man one after another, and he was speechless for a while, and he couldn't shirk it, but he saw the old man like this.
His heart was shocked, Ye Lao, an old minister who had gone through three generations in Shen Yuan, asked how many people in the courtyard could be like Ye Lao, who had worked hard and exhausted their lives for Shen Yuan, which moved him and sighed in his heart: There is such a person to assist my Shen Yuan, it is the blessing of my Shen Yuan, but how many such people are there? Thinking about what Fang Cai Ye Lao said, it is not reasonable, although the Shen Yuan is full of talents and many people, if you really want to choose a person who is the leader and turns the tide, it is really difficult to find such a person in the hospital, let alone a person who can shoulder the mission of my Shen Yuan.
Thinking of this, the man closed his eyes lightly, took a deep breath, and his heart was indifferent, at this time he thought of his master Shen Yun, at that time, the Shen Yuan could be a strong soldier and a strong horse, and everyone who jumped out of the crowd were all important figures, but these characters, with the passage of time, either died of illness and old age, or died in battle, are long gone.
However, deep in his heart, withdrawing from this worldly dispute has been settled for a long time, and he will never change it, but he has to face the current situation of Shen Yuan, and he can only sigh in his heart: When will I be able to achieve what I want, he turned around indifferently and walked down the hall, looking at this old man, still so respectful, with all kinds of bitterness and guilt in his heart, he hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old man and said: Ye Lao, please get up quickly, you are the third generation elder of my Shen Yuan, and you are the confidant entrusted by the first emperor, how can I Shen Ling suffer so much, don't you torture me.
The old man got up slowly, still with a begging look in his eyes, looked at the man and said, "The master of the courtyard has promised the old man."
The middle-aged man collected his thoughts and sighed: I, Shen Murong, am not a completely irrational person, Ye Lao, please rest assured, the matter of the succession of the head of this courtyard, Murong does not mention it, Ye Lao, what you said is not reasonable, at the moment Shen Yuan is at a critical juncture, and he must be the one who needs to preside over the overall situation, I, Shen Ling, as the master of the courtyard, if I delay the major affairs of the Shen Yuan for my own heart, how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Shen Academy, and what face do I have to meet the ancestors, will I not be a sinner, this matter of succession is considered in the long run.
After the old man heard this, the big stone in his heart had fallen, and his face was relieved, and he was relieved: The master of the courtyard can have such a strategy, it is the blessing of my Shen Yuan, it's just... At this point, there was a hint of melancholy, and he said slowly: It's just that my Shen Yuan has been much less powerful than before over the years, and it should be necessary to collect a wide range of sects, and focus on cultivating talented people, all those who are outstanding in pulse cultivation can be sent to the three major sects to cultivate the pulse method, and store power for my Shen Yuan for their own use.
