After hearing Mo Fenyou's words, Bai Jiezi did not show any happy expression on his face. Instead, he asked coldly:
"Mo Fenyou, what do you mean? Don't think that I will burst into tears if you graciously give up your position as Valley Master! Your cultivation level is higher than mine. Now that your injury has healed, you can capture or kill me as you please. Why use such pretense? To humiliate me!"
Mo Fenyou seemed to have expected such a reaction, and was not surprised. He shook his head and said:
"Great Elder, I have no intention of plotting against you.
It was because I didn't think carefully before, thinking that the matter between Li'er and Bai Zhi was just a conflict between juniors, so I had the intention of protecting them.
It's also my fault that I indulged her too much, which is why she developed such a lawless temper.
At that time, I only thought that Li'er was my daughter and didn't want anything to happen to her, but I never thought that Bai Zhi was also your son. His position in your heart is as important as Li'er's position in mine. If someone takes my Li'er, Even if my son is injured like that, I won't give up easily.
It's funny that I thought about minimizing the big issue before. It's true that I can't help you! "
As he said this, Mo Fenyou actually bowed his head to the white mustard seeds and performed a ceremony that was second only to kneeling in the Medicine King Valley.
There is a saying that if a man stands between heaven and earth, he will not break even if he weighs a thousand pounds!
In the past, as the master of a valley, even if he cut off Mo Fenyou's head, he would not be able to perform such a great gift!
But at this time, he not only performed this salute, he also performed it willingly, without any hint of reluctance.
Now not only the others, but also Bai Jiezi couldn't help but be moved and scolded:
"Mo Fenyou! Do you know what you are doing?! Even the ordinary disciples of my Medicine King Valley never bow to others, let alone you are the master of the valley!"
"Of course Fenyou knows what he is doing. These days, I am seriously injured and dying. I have locked myself in the 'Shending Cave' and have barely been able to step out. I also want to understand many things. If there is no great elder, how can I be here?" Is this Valley Master sitting so securely in his position?
When it comes to contributions to Yaowang Valley, the Great Elder is far above me. If the Great Elder really wants to take this position, what's the problem if I just give in? "
After hearing Mo Fenyou's words, a middle-aged man beside him immediately urged him urgently:
"Valley Master, no! This is against the rules of the valley!"
Mo Fenyou shook his head and said:
"Why not? Rules are dead and people are alive. Besides, rules are also set by people. Why can't they be changed?
If I fight with the Great Elder today, so what if I win? It will only damage the vitality of Yaowang Valley and even cause Yaowang Valley to fall apart. This will only make the demon sect demons who know about this shout out. Rejoice!
If the position of a mere Valley Master can calm the resentment in the Great Elder's heart and make everyone in the Medicine King Valley unite, what if he gives it up? "
"enough!"
But it was the Great Elder who interrupted Mo Fenyou's words. At this time, his attitude was no longer as cold as before:
"Fenyou, do you know why I insisted on making you the grain owner despite everyone's opposition?"
Without waiting for Mo Fenyou to answer, the Great Elder answered himself:
"The rules of our ancestors are only one aspect, and your extraordinary qualifications are only part of the reason. What I value most is your temperament that takes the overall situation into consideration.
But because of Yingli's death over the years, you have put too much thought on Mo Li, and most of what you do is for her.
I'm already old. If one day I die, I'm worried that you won't be able to support such a big stall.
I was the one who guaranteed you to take the position of Valley Master in the first place. If Yaowang Valley really falls in your hands, I will be the sinner of Yaowang Valley!
The reason why I did this this time is just to give you a hand. The most valuable gift from the Tang family is a three-thousand-year-old purple ginseng. But even if you give it to me, what's the use of it? "
As soon as Bai Jiezi finished speaking, the person who questioned him before said in surprise:
"Could it be that you are here to treat the Valley Master's injuries?"
Bai Jiezi didn't speak, but his expression said everything.
The man also understood the look on Bai Jiezi's face, but he still remained suspicious and asked again:
"Then how do you explain Mo Liyuan's marriage to Xishu? Isn't it just to leave the Valley Master with no successor so that you can monopolize the power?"
Bai Jiezi slowly shook his head and asked:
"Although the Tang family in Xishu is a big family and prides itself on being righteous, do you know what they are doing secretly?
They claim to be the most poisonous in righteous hidden weapons, but do you know where their poisons come from?
Over the years, they have secretly arrested many people to test drugs, and 90% of them were tortured to death. However, because they were careful enough, all the people they caught to test drugs were homeless beggars and orphans, so the outside world There are basically no rumors about their evil deeds.
I have long wanted to uproot them, but I never had the chance.
This time, the girl Mo Li was asked to marry into the Tang family. On the one hand, she wanted to teach her a lesson, and on the other hand, she wanted to use the demon sect's name to get rid of their backbone on their way back to Xishu. "
"this…"
After hearing what Bai Jiezi said, the man frowned and was about to say something else.
Bai Jiezi did not give him a chance to speak:
"I know you think my actions are a bit unscrupulous, but have you ever thought about it, since they dare to do these harmful things behind everyone's back, how can they be caught?
Are we going to let them remain at large?
I asked Qian Jinzi to go back with them just to ensure the safety of that girl. As long as I take action, they can take advantage of the chaos and escape.
At that time, I will be the only evil person. Anyway, I have already been accused of betraying the Valley Master. What does it matter if I have one more crime? "
Everyone was silent now. They knew that what the Great Elder did was not honorable, but they couldn't find any reason to refute it. For a moment, they looked at him with complicated expressions.
"Great Elder..."
The expressions on the faces of the people who were close to the Great Elder at the beginning were the most complicated. They wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"Sanqi, Dixun, Shi Yan, you have followed me for many years and have always been loyal to me. This time you can stand by me without hesitation. I am very happy, but also very sad.
Most of your loyalty is to me, not to Yaowang Valley. If I really have the intention to usurp Yaowang Valley, there will definitely be internal fighting. How many disciples in the valley will die? When the time comes, you will become a sinner in Yaowang Valley like me! "
By the end of the sentence, Bai Jiezi's tone had already taken on a reprimanding tone.
The three people whose names were called by him also had a look of shame on their faces, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say even a word of rebuttal.
Sister Bai, Zijian and the others didn't speak, and their tone softened:
“You must remember that Yaowang Valley is our home and our root!
The rise and fall of Yaowang Valley cannot be controlled by a single person. Our existence depends on Yaowang Valley and is a part of Yaowang Valley. The rise and fall of Yaowang Valley is closely related to each of us.
Only if we all unite together and become a rope, Yaowang Valley will not decline! "
The great elder seemed very calm when he said this, and did not show any impassioned emotions, but his words caused everyone present to think deeply.
Mo Fenyou looked at the great elder and was silent for a long time before slowly asking:
"Great Elder, why is this necessary? Although the Tang family is not a good thing, it is not worth risking your reputation or even your life, right?"
The Great Elder looked at Mo Fenyou and said in a worried tone:
"When you went out to look for Mo Li, the 'Shending Cave' moved once. I was practicing in the cave at that time. Do you know what I saw?"
Mo Fenyou obviously didn't know about this, but he also knew that any changes in the "Shending Cave" would definitely not be a trivial matter. He frowned and asked:
"What happened?"
The great elder said every word:
"The divine cauldron appears!"
"What?!"
Not only Mo Fenyou, but everyone looked shocked.
The Divine Cauldron was a rare treasure that King Medicine got in the cave when he attained enlightenment. He once accompanied King Medicine in his battles in the world, and once the Divine Cauldron came out, he was almost invincible.
Demons from the Demon Sect were so rampant back then, but Yao Wang single-handedly swept through the entire Southern Territory of the Demon Sect. Finally, he reunited with the two founders of the Yuxu Sect and the Jade Buddha Temple under the Holy Mountain of the Demon Sect in Yuanzhou. In the end, the three of them worked together to defeat the Demon Sect. Only then can the right path take a breather.
The Medicine King's cultivation is naturally impressive in ancient times and today, but the divine cauldron in his hand is even more magical. It is said that it can refine all things in the world, and even refine the magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life.
But when the Medicine King passed away, the Divine Cauldron flew back to the cave where the Medicine King had obtained it. It was left to the subsequent generations of disciples to search for it, but for more than two thousand years, no trace of the Divine Cauldron was ever found.
Only a thousand years ago when the four demon masters caused a demonic disaster, the divine cauldron appeared. On that occasion, a few big words appeared on the divine cauldron - four stars in the sky, catastrophe!
Therefore, when they first heard the words "The Divine Cauldron Appears", everyone was both surprised and happy.
One of them was the most impatient and asked quickly:
"Great Elder, where is the divine tripod? Did you get it?"
The great elder shook his head and said:
"The Divine Cauldron is not here with me, so you don't have to look at me like this. Although I was right next to the Divine Cauldron when it appeared, I could only see it, but I couldn't touch it. It seemed that it was just a shadow, but the one on it was The texture and the sacred and heavy aura it exudes are exactly the same as those recorded in the valley's classics.
Just like a thousand years ago, several big characters appeared on the divine cauldron - evil spirits soared into the sky, and the stars moved randomly! "
After hearing these eight words spoken by the great elder, everyone's expressions changed drastically!
Although the meaning of these words is vague, they only need to think about it for a moment to know that another catastrophe sweeping the entire world is about to come!
Mo Fenyou looked at the great elder and asked again:
"So, Great Elder, you want to remove these unstable factors before the disaster comes, so that we can work together to deal with the coming disaster?"
The great elder nodded:
"Yes, the vision of the divine cauldron only lasted for a moment and did not alarm others. After I came out of the 'Sacred Cauldron Cave', I used the Zhanqi Qi method, and sure enough I saw traces of black air rising from the earth.
There is more than one place, and there is black air in all directions, slowly gathering into the sky. When the black air covers the entire world, disaster will come, and this time will not be long! "
"Why didn't you tell me?"
The great elder's energy-seeking technique is the best in the entire Medicine King Valley. Even if you look around the world, there are few who can compare with it, so no one will think that he is wrong.
"I originally planned to tell you, but when you came back you were seriously injured, and only purple ginseng could cure it. I was afraid that telling others about this would cause panic, so I could only search secretly.
Finally, three months ago, I learned that the Tang family in Xishu had a purple ginseng plant that was 3,000 years old, so I asked them to use purple ginseng as a betrothal gift to marry Mo Li under the pretext of marriage.
And promised them that once I take control of Yaowang Valley, I will fully help them develop.
The Tang family in Xishu was very ambitious, so they naturally would not give up the opportunity to establish a relationship with our Yaowang Valley, and agreed without hesitation.
It's just that I didn't expect that Chi Yan would come out and kidnap Mo Li at this time. To get the purple ginseng, I had to find another way. I could only change my plan and gather all the power of Yaowang Valley to rob the purple ginseng! "
The man who was tit for tat with the great elder at first suddenly realized, but then asked with some doubts:
"So you don't really want to replace the Valley Master, but why don't you tell us your plan?"
The great elder looked at the man and said:
"Qin Gui, let me ask you, if I tell you that I am going to rob purple ginseng, even if it is for the sake of the Valley Master, with your temperament and without knowing what the Tang family is doing, will you really agree?"
Qin Gui was silent, he really would not agree.
Seeing that Qin Gui didn't speak, the elder continued:
"So I can only capture you first to prevent you from holding me back. When I saw Fenyou, I thought he was just forcing himself out of seclusion, so I planned to test whether he was really recovered first, so I didn’t tell the truth at first.”
No one expected that the great elder's behavior seemed to be out of resentment but he hid such painstaking efforts. All the eyes he looked at the great elder changed for a while.
He knew clearly that the consequences of doing so would be to ruin his reputation and be scorned by everyone in the world, but he still chose to do it. He truly intended to give everything he had for the Medicine King Valley and the right path!
