Chapter 139 Hidden Eight Difficulties
Two days later, at the ancestral hall of the Xue family, the patriarch Xue Shiyi, five of the seven elders of the Xue family, Gao Yong, Xue Chenzhou, Xue Jiwu and more than 20 senior officials of the Xue family gathered together to discuss a series of major events that had happened in the family in the past few days.
Xue Bai didn't understand and wasn't interested. He just pulled his grandfather's bandage out of curiosity and said cheerfully: "Grandpa, you look like a zombie."
Xue Pinggui glared at him weakly and ignored him.
Although the four elders of the Xue family were struck by lightning, their lives were saved thanks to the powerful Qi and blood of the family and the free application of various healing medicines from the Xue family.
It's just that a large area of his body was burned. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover in a few months. After he recovers, it is still unknown how much his abilities will drop.
"Ji Wu, you and Xue Bai will lead the Xue family team of the Demon Slaying Order. After meeting with the five major clans in Beihai City, listen to your elders in everything."
Xue Jiwu nodded, a trace of gloom flashed across his face.
Xue Manman still had financial power, but he was transferred out of Yunzhongqiu, and Xue Wenhai, the branch leader of Haiman Dao, did not even attend the family meeting.
He still doesn't understand that he has been squeezed out and has lost power.
Xue Jiwu and Xue Manman glanced at each other, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Xue Manman's mouth.
After the family meeting, Xue Manman was chatting with several clan elders about something. Xue Bai came over again and said cheerfully: "Mom, that annoying guy is leaving, isn't he?"
Xue Manman's smile did not change: "Don't talk nonsense, your Uncle Wenhai has been transferred to the operation of the Demon Slaughter Order. He has some manpower in Haiman Dao and can help us search for zombie warriors along the coast."
"Hehe, then I'll go and taunt him. The toad wants to eat the swan meat. My mother is the one he can care about. She acts pretentious all day long. Don't pretend to be cool. Pretend to be struck by lightning!"
The fourth elder who was struck by lightning raised his eyebrows almost subconsciously, his face covered with bandages expressionless.
Xue Jiwu returned to his house with a gloomy look. Not long after, Xue Wenhai came quietly and said straight to the point:
"Your Aunt Man has deep connections in the clan, and your father is famous for his impartiality. It is expected that you will be rejected."
"I am the patriarch's son——"
"Your father can still maintain his vigorous energy for at least thirty years. You are too impatient. Besides, you want to use the Liang family woman to deal with the Xue family woman. This is a bad move!"
Xue Jiwu took a deep breath, and there was a "rumbling" sound in his body. On the table where he pressed his palm, the tea rippled in circles.
In Neijiaquan, this is called "internal Qi is not constant, but external energy is constantly moving", which is a very clever performance.
"It's not a bad thing that your father put you in charge of the Demon Slaying Order."
Xue Wenhai said with strange eyes: "You should know that your Aunt Man has a helping hand outside the clan. She is a member of that force, as is the Sword Demon, and the richest woman in Shanbei Road. To untie the bell, you must tie the bell.
"
"What do you mean?" Xue Jiwu frowned.
"Kill the sword demon and break up Manman and Honggu. Kill two birds with one stone!"
Xue Jiwu sneered, "It's so easy to kill, why don't you kill me?"
The most direct reason why my family was promoted overtly and covertly was because of the 'Sword Demon', the troublemaker.
Moreover, the opponent killed ‘Yam Buddha’, and his master-level strength was fully revealed.
Grandmaster! How many grandmasters can there be in Shanbei Road?
"If he fights alone, no one will be his opponent. Even if a large army surrounds him, it will be difficult for a master of his level to be fatal."
Xue Wenhai's Confucian face was full of insidious murderous intent:
"But there is the Demon-Slaying Order. We can completely use the Demon-Slaying Order to form an elite group of pure first-class masters. Even if he is a grandmaster and can stop ten first-class masters, what about twenty or thirty?"
Xue Jiwu was a little moved, "I need to think about this again-"
Surrounding and killing a master who is almost a master is too much.
Seeing this, Xue Wenhai changed the topic: "Whether we do this or not, the first thing we have to do now is two things."
"The first one is to spread the news about Dao Mo and Xue Manman's engagement. Aren't he going to be the son-in-law of the Xue family in name only? Then let him bear this reputation completely."
"It is rumored that Hong Gu also had an affair with the former leader of the Naked Party. Women's thoughts are sometimes quite irrational."
"Second, destroy your fiancée's body."
"Why is this?"
Xue Jiwu and his fiancée don't have much affection, but at least in terms of love, they are quite pleasant.
So I was very angry when I heard that he was parasitized by Yama Buddha and killed by the sword demon.
"The body was sent back to the Liang family. The Liang family would at best place their hatred on the dead Yan Fo. But if there is no body, we can use some tactics. Who knows how this Liang family woman died."
"It makes sense. I heard that after Yama Buddha's death, Yama Buddha Temple also mobilized a demon-slaying meeting. It is said that Yama Buddha's three major disciples made a Buddhist oath on the spot. Whoever can kill the sword demon will be able to ascend the throne of presiding!"
Xue Jiwu's eyes gradually brightened, he glanced at Xue Wenhai, and suddenly said solemnly: "Uncle Wenhai, please help my nephew with the Demon Slaying Order."
"Don't worry, don't worry. As the northern branch of the Xue family, I certainly hope that the master's family will become stronger and stronger. And for the master's family to be strong, a powerful family head is indispensable. As the saying goes, if a saint doesn't come out, what will happen to the world? I am
I really want to see the day when my nephew becomes the leader of the five families..."
The two chatted until late at night, before Xue Wenhai left the small door, looked up at the moonlight at the turn of summer and autumn, suddenly showed a faint smile, and whispered:
"Luzhou in Beiju is translated as a place of beauty. Those born here will live a thousand years and die prematurely. They are greedy for pleasure and do not receive education. Therefore, saints will not go out of it and will not be able to see the Buddha and hear the Dharma."
"Nephew, nephew, people like us can neither see saints nor Buddhas."
Eight difficulties - Beiju Luzhou.
…
Under the same moonlight, Xue Shili, the head of the Xue family, was taking a walk with Uncle Nan.
"Uncle, are you really 'hanging the curtain' and 'listening to the government'?" Xue Shili supported old uncle Nan, still a little in disbelief.
"Haha, let's just say this old man. If you believe it, Master, it's not true if you don't believe it."
Uncle Nan pretended to be deaf and dumb as always.
Xue Shili smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's enough to be able to send the god of plague away."
The seven secrets of Qi Lian lineage, combined together, can produce a unique skill that only the ancestor of the Xue family knew.
With the seven elders of the Xue family together, facing Qi Long, the outcome is really unpredictable.
However, four of them were struck down by lightning. Facing this sword demon again, at least in terms of high-end combat power, the Xue family was somewhat stretched.
Unless you risk serious damage to the Xue family's vitality and rely on the tactics of a sea of people to kill Qi Cong, but - why bother.
After all, he is the son-in-law of the Xue family on the surface. Under certain circumstances, the Xue family can still show off his power to the outside world.
However, these things cannot be discussed openly.
Xue Shili changed the subject: "There are many people in the clan who object to my letting Shen Zhou join the elders' chair."
Old Uncle Nan's eyes were dim, so he had to speak slowly: "If you do this well, you have to do it despite the pressure. Ahem, the status of the blood refining lineage has been embarrassing in the clan these years. Some clan members have been dissatisfied for a long time, so they have to give it a try."
If people have some hope, they won't cause trouble."
"Well, my old uncle understands me. To put it bluntly, there is no dispute over qi refining and blood refining. Can't the two methods practice together? It's nothing more than the party struggle of the older generation that misleads the younger generation! I plan to let the blood refining lineage
Some tribesmen became disciples of the Seven Elders, and selected some of the younger generation to inherit the Five Blood Refining Techniques."
Uncle Nan chuckled: "You are the patriarch, you have the final say."
Xue Shili smiled: "Old uncle, you are pretending to be deaf and dumb again. You understand better than anyone else that if the clan wants to reform, the most important thing is to work together."
"Shen Zhou is a child with a tough and tolerant temperament. Although he refuses to obey discipline, he is bent on revenge and has no desire for power. There is no need to hide this matter from him, and he will not interfere. He only needs to refine his Qi in one line, and the most powerful one is the Blood Hand Fist.
Give him the cooperative Rong Rong Palm, and he will not be distracted in order to deal with the grand master-level enemy."
Kurong Palm is one of the seven true inheritances of Qi Lian lineage, and the inheritor is Old Uncle Nan.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
"In that case, I'm relieved. This child Shen Zhou's temperament needs you to polish it off."
Accompanying Old Uncle Nan to the entrance of the villa, and watching Old Uncle Nan go away, Xue Shili let out a long breath.
The five ways of blood refining were originally royal secrets, while the seven ways of qi refining were created by splitting the essence of the martial arts of the ancestor of the Xue family.
The fusion of two different martial arts systems is the foundation of the great martial arts system of our ancestors, the 'Nine Qi Imperial Way', which is also commonly known as the semi-divine martial arts.
Unfortunately, in the hands of the second-generation ancestor, Xue Buting, the son of Princess Yuji, this system was lost. Even the second-generation ancestor himself died in a foreign country, and even his body could not be recovered.
"There is a long way to go—" Xue Shili sighed quietly.
Uncle Nan walked with a stick under the moonlight. After his 100th birthday, he found an open space in Yunzhongqiu and built a thatched house. He said he wanted to experience the life in the tomb in advance, at least on the surface.
, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.
"When you live for a long time, you can really see everything. Xue Shili, this kid, looks serious on the outside, but on the inside he is more ambitious than anyone else." Uncle Nan chuckled, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "Resolve the grievances between the two lines, and restore the relationship.
My Xue family's 'Great Martial Arts System' is interesting, very interesting!"
"So it's better to live, you can see everything, but if you want to live a long time, you have to pretend to be deaf and dumb about some things, and you don't know anything about it. In this way, people will treat you as a puppet, and naturally they won't think about it.
How do you like your furniture and furnishings?”
The "Buddhist Sutra" says that although these people are born in the country, they have deep karma, are blind, deaf and mute, and do not have all their faculties. Even though the Buddha is born, they cannot see the Buddha or hear the Dharma.
Eight difficulties - being blind, deaf and mute is difficult!
The sky was slightly bright and the mist was hazy. This was Qi Lung's last day in Yunzhongqiu. Before he could make any move, a tall figure blocked the door and laughed.
