Chapter 324 Deep Earth Continent
【Xuan Yi's calculation】Second watch
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Shangguan Xuanyi say: "When grandpa sent me to the Huangji Continent, he told me that I would not be able to return to the family until my cultivation broke through the Nascent Soul Stage. He also said that if I came back, He hasn't come back yet, so don't wait for him. He should be in retreat to break through the tribulation period, and let the family choose another patriarch."
After Shangguan Xuanyi's words fell, everyone immediately talked about it, which meant that they had a chance to get the position of patriarch.Having the opportunity to manage the entire Shangguan family is something that people in every family who love power dream of.
In the past, it was because there was a patriarch who was in the Mahayana period, and no one dared to object to letting Shangguan Mingxun act as the acting patriarch.But now it's different, the patriarch has spoken in person, which means that the patriarch doesn't like his eldest son.
"Ridiculous! You yellow-mouthed kid, you are talking nonsense!" Seeing that the power of the family in their house is about to be lost, the second elder elder stood up in agitation and pointed at Shangguan Xuanyi. Just start scolding.
As soon as he cursed, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, Shangguan Jingquan wished he could kill Shangguan Xuanyi himself as soon as he learned that he had returned to the Deep Earth Continent.
When Shangguan Mingxun saw that his father was being questioned by everyone, he complained to Yuan Wu in his heart.Xindao: Yuan Wu, a bastard who failed to accomplish anything but failed to do so, his own Yu'er didn't protect him, and Ming Shen, who told him to kill him, didn't kill him either.
"Everyone, I know that these years, as the acting patriarch, I have failed to manage the Shangguan family well for my father. I would like to apologize to everyone here. It is also because I have a low level of cultivation and a low-key person, otherwise the Shangguan family will definitely be able to carry forward in my hands. Today I will hand over the leadership of the Shangguan family to everyone, let you judge and select, and I believe everyone will be able to select someone with outstanding talents who is qualified to be the patriarch." Said, Shangguan Mingxun immediately sent the representative The patriarch's token was placed on the table.
When everyone saw Shangguan Mingxun saying this, the atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and no one took the initiative to speak.
As the saying goes: shoot the bird that stands out!
If anyone stood up at this time, he must be eager to become the patriarch.If you don't do a good job in the future, you will definitely be caught by others.
Shangguan Xuanyi squinted his eyes, the old guy was really cunning, not only used the trick of retreating to advance, but also covered up what Shangguan Jingquan said before.
But how could he do what Shangguan Mingxun wanted, Shangguan Xuanyi immediately stood up.
He saluted Shangguan Mingxun first, and then said: "Uncle has worked hard all these years. Uncle has really worked hard to manage Shangguan's family these years. This is an indelible credit for everyone to see."
Everyone nodded. Although Shangguan Mingxun's work in the past few decades was not perfect, he almost covered everything.
"That's exactly the case, Uncle, you can see that your current cultivation is exactly the same as when I left. When I left, I didn't even break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, but now I'm in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."
Shangguan Xuanyi specifically picked people up and said, Shangguan Jingquan, who is not dead, just envies that his own talent is better than theirs?
Then let you envy, envy, only envy!
Seeing Shangguan Mingxun's face turned livid, Shangguan Xuanyi continued: "It can be seen that a person's energy is limited. When Grandpa said goodbye to me, he told me that he was very worried about you. After all, our family has good cultivation qualifications. , In hundreds of thousands of years, everyone will still be living well. When the time comes, uncle you will not be here, how much guilt grandpa, the old man, will have to face!"
Seeing that Shangguan Jingquan was almost looking at him with cannibalistic eyes, Shangguan Xuanyi was not afraid.
He continued: "So before leaving, Grandpa told me that after I return to Shangguan's house, I must let you off the burden of being the acting patriarch. From now on, I will devote all my attention to cultivation, and you don't have to worry about other trivial matters. Family There are plenty of talents, and there will naturally be someone to take over the position of patriarch."
"Of course, if you still recognize my grandfather as the patriarch, he specially recommended a few candidates to be the patriarch."
After Shangguan Xuanyi finished speaking, he took advantage of the situation and sat down, waiting for everyone to express their opinions.
Shangguan Mingxun's face turned blue and pale for a while, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
In fact, it has only been more than 60 years, and it is normal for Shangguan Mingxun to not have made any progress in his cultivation at the initial stage of fusion.But listening to what Shangguan Xuanyi said, and comparing it again, it seems that it is not normal that he has not improved at all.
Although the lineage of the elders of the Third Taishang didn't like to see Shangguan Xuanyi's lineage, they also hoped to change the patriarch.In this way, if their lineage becomes the patriarch, they can get more cultivation resources.
In the lineage of the Fourth Supreme Elder, anyone who is the patriarch is the same, anyway, their treatment is similar.On the surface, their lineage belongs to the kind that does not fight or grab, and is happy with the situation, but in fact they are mainly based on the line of the elders of the Grand Master.
The elders of the Grand Supreme Being have a special status, and the general family has a major decision. If the patriarch fails, they have the right to act on behalf of the patriarch.If the patriarch's decision is biased, they have the right to bypass the patriarch directly and hold a meeting of elders, which will be decided by the elders.
In addition, there are still three Supreme Elders who were not present today, namely: Fifth Supreme Elder, Sixth Supreme Elder and Seventh Supreme Elder.
These are only people from the main line of the Shangguan family, and there are many people in the side branches, but the side lines are all based on the main line.
There are relatively few people in the line of the fifth elders, and they also belong to the category of people who don't fight or grab.There is no way, they have a small number of people in this vein, and they need much less resources than other veins, so it is completely meaningless to fight for it.
The lineage of the Sixth Supreme Elder is the same as that of the Fourth Supreme Elder, and they are all based on the lineage of the Great Supreme Elder.
The lineage of the Seventh Supreme Elder belongs to the cultivating lunatics. It doesn't matter who is the patriarch, as long as they are given the resources to practice.
Elder Santai couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Ba, who are the people recommended by the patriarch?"
Shangguan Xuanyi replied: "The fourth elder: Shangguan Jinglin; the fifth elder: Shangguan Jingqi; the sixth elder: Shangguan Jingsheng."
Elder Third Taishang frowned and asked, "No more?"
"Well, it's gone! Third Supreme Elder, don't blame grandpa for not mentioning you. After all, grandpa didn't mean to break your formation back then. But you have hated him for so many years, and even I don't like it very much. Grandpa Said that you hold grudges too much and are not suitable to be the patriarch. Although what Grandpa said is a bit blunt, what he said is the truth, and I hope that you, the third elder, don't care about it."
The third elder was so angry that he scolded Shangguan Jingfeng countless times in his heart. Who is the one who really holds grudges?It's obviously that villain Shangguan Jingfeng holding grudges!Could his formation be easily broken back then?
That was the formation he used to hunt and kill monsters, but it was broken by Shangguan Jingfeng three times, can he not be angry?
When everyone saw that Shangguan Xuanyi dared to say such a thing about the third elder, they all looked at him with admiration.
It's nice to be young!
Dare to say anything, dare to ignore anything.
Today Shangguan Xuanyi has a lot of hatred, and it is estimated that many people have already hated him.
But he wasn't afraid, these people didn't come looking for him, and he still couldn't find an excuse to take revenge on these people.
Elder Santai let out a cold "hum", and turned his head to the side angrily.
The Elder Da Taishang saw that it was time for them to choose a new patriarch, and it was useless for Shangguan Xuanyi to stay here.
"Xiaoba, you can come to me if you don't understand anything after you just came back. This is my sound transmission jade slip." As he said that, the elder Tai Tai took out a jade slip and sent it to Shangguan Xuanyi with spiritual energy. in front of.
With the words of the Great Supreme Elder, it means that Shangguan Xuanyi has already made a name for him.In the future, under his protection, everyone else should take it easy. Those who have small thoughts had better get rid of those thoughts that they shouldn't have as soon as possible.
"Okay, thank you, Great Supreme Elder." Shangguan Xuanyi took the Yinchuan jade slip and bowed to the Great Supreme Elder.
In fact, even without the protection of the great elders, the old fellows present would not dare to take action against Shangguan Xuanyi in person.After all, he is Ouyang Xiuqi's apprentice, whoever thinks that his life is long will provoke him.
"It's nothing, you can go back first! If there is anything you need, I will ask the fifth elder to bring it to you later."
"Yes, the junior will take his leave first."
Shangguan Xuanyi bowed to everyone and left Mingshen Hall.
Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi leaving like this, everyone hesitated to speak.But here are only a few elders who are qualified to speak, and they only have to listen.They all thought about letting their juniors get close to Shangguan Xuanyi after they went back.
It's just that they completely forgot that they wanted their juniors to trouble Shangguan Xuanyi before.
After Shangguan Xuanyi left Mingshen Hall, he secretly wiped off his sweat. The pressure inside was too heavy.
Don't look at how he talked eloquently inside just now, and he didn't have the slightest fear in the face of the monks in the refining stage, but in fact his vest was already soaked.
When he walked to the door, he realized that it was getting late, and he didn't expect to stay in Mingshen Hall for a whole day.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, making it hard for him to open his eyes, Shangguan Xuanyi stretched out his hand to block it.Then seeing Ming Shen standing straight not far away waiting for him, Shangguan Xuanyi asked him to go back to the Qinghe Courtyard together.
Ten days later...
It took Shangguan Xuanyi ten days to sort out all the books in his room, and of course he also read them along the way.Many of them are basic knowledge about formations, which Shangguan Jingfeng prepared for him after he tested the ice spirit root.It's just that he knew how to play back then, where he would concentrate on sitting down and reading, and even practicing meditation needed Shangguan Jingfeng's supervision.
There was another "Zi Ya", and Shangguan Xuanyi remembered that his yard needed to be repaired, and he forgot about it after going to Mingshen Palace that day.
After Ming Shen came in, he immediately said respectfully to Shangguan Xuanyi: "Eighth Young Master, Fifth Elder is visiting."
"Is it finally here? You go and invite him in." After speaking, Shangguan Xuanyi immediately put away the clay figurine in his hand.
He was thinking about repairing the yard when manpower came to his door.
The Fifth Elder brought Shangguan Xuanyi the cultivation resources that had belonged to him over the years, and also gave him a token to enter the Zangshu Pavilion.
Shangguan Xuanyi thought that if he really fell asleep, someone would give him a pillow. He was about to go to the library of Shangguan's house, and someone had already arranged everything for him.
The treatment in this life was completely different from the previous life. Looking at the token in his hand, Shangguan Xuanyi had a mocking smile on his face.
When he came back from his previous life, he could only receive the cultivation resources shared by ordinary clan members every month; if he wanted to go to the Library Pavilion, he was told that only those who had made significant contributions to the family could enter the Library Pavilion.
Hitting the wall everywhere, being targeted everywhere, now looking back, I really feel ridiculous and pathetic!
Mingshen saw Shangguan Xuanyi laughing by himself, he didn't know why he felt Shangguan Xuanyi's laughter was a bit creepy.He poked his arm, he just minded his own affairs, closed the door for Shangguan Xuanyi, and went outside to guard.
