Chapter 1027: Dingxian Mountain, Patriarch's Testament
Facing the women were a man and a woman, the man looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, the woman was even younger, the man was holding a small doll in his hand, and the little baby was crying sadly.
"Auntie...... "The beautiful woman should be Shanyue's, she said softly, "Renshou has been having a fever for the past few days, I don't know what's going on, the medicine sent by the fourth master has also been given to him, and it doesn't work......"
"Auntie......" The man called Shanqi also said anxiously, "The fourth master has instructed that Renshou cannot be burned for three days, and if the fever does not go away on the third day, let us find him." ”
"Why don't you go look for it?"
"The fourth master is not at home!" Shanyue still replied softly, "I also went to the fourth master's house in the morning!"
"Alas, don't look for it!" At this time, an old man with white hair came over on a small donkey, he glanced at the three of them, and sighed, "Yaoyong came to me the day before yesterday, he said that he felt that his body was not good, and he might not be able to resist for a few days, he was going to find the patriarch, and asked the patriarch to allow him to enter the dust. ”
Shanqi was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Ah? The fourth master has entered the dust, and I ...... What are we going to do? What should Ren Shou do?"
"Let's see the patriarch's arrangement!" said the old man, got down from the donkey, looked at the people standing, and found a place to sit down at random.
Renshou kept crying, even if Shanyue breastfed him, he couldn't stop.
Xu Zhi stood on the ancient tree and listened, shook his head slightly, and did not show up.
After another twenty minutes or so, thirty or so people arrived one after another, more or less barefoot, dressed in tatters, with gray hair, and looking a little old.
Everyone was silent, but there were too many people, it was inevitable to whisper, and slowly everyone was a little impatient, and looked at the mountain road on the stele from time to time, at the end of the mountain road, there were faint outlines of bluestone buildings in the mountains and forests.
"Why hasn't the patriarch come yet?"
"Is there something wrong?"
The crowd began to whisper, and in the midst of this discussion, Renju's cry became more and more hoarse.
"When the long ......" a bell sound came from the mountain road, four middle-aged people rode over, although the four middle-aged people were wearing linen clothes, but the figure was burly, the first one was full of beard, looking very powerful.
"Wan Zhen and they are coming......"
"Huh, didn't they fall out with the patriarch, why did they come here today?"
"Wan Zhen!" the old man who was riding a donkey just now hurriedly came over and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"Second uncle......" The middle-aged man looked into the distance and replied, "The patriarch hasn't sent a star thunder for a long time, I'm afraid that there is something important, so I take the brothers to take a look!"
"Well, take a look!" the old man nodded, "However, don't make trouble! The patriarch is old, and it's not easy to deal with the affairs of our clan......"
"Hmph......" Du Wanzhen snorted coldly, "If he doesn't make a big fuss, what will I do with him! Second uncle, do you think I have really had trouble with him in the past ten years?"
"Wan Zhen...... the woman also said bitterly beside her, "You don't know the bitterness of the patriarch......
It's a pity that before the woman finished speaking, Du Wan Zhenyi waved his hand and said, "That's what he deserves!"
After speaking, Du Wan Zhenli ignored the woman, walked to the stone tablet, looked into the distance and said, "Why hasn't he come here yet?
Du Wanzhen looked unruly, but he still didn't dare to cross the boundary of the stone stele.
After another ten minutes or so, several gray-haired old men also rushed over, and the so-called patriarch had not yet appeared.
"I'll take a look!" Du Wanzhen couldn't hold back, and he was about to break through the stone monument.
The old man riding the donkey grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Wan Zhen, without the consent of the patriarch, no one can enter the ancestral temple without permission, this is the clan rule set by the old ancestor!"
"Clan rules?" Du Wan Zhen smiled bitterly, turned around and pointed to dozens of people around, and said, "Second uncle, take a good look, there are a few people on this mountain, and there are still a few people left in our family, this clan rule...... Can it still be called a clan rule?"
"Even if there is only one person left, our family will still be there, and the clan rules are the clan rules!" replied the old man resolutely.
"That's your clan rules!" Du Wanzhen shook his hand, shook off the old man's hand, and said, "It's not my clan rules, the Du family is about to be wiped out, what kind of clan rules are you talking about?"
After speaking, Du Wanzhen strode over the stone monument and walked into the distance.
"Wan Zhen, Wan Zhen......" The old man stomped his feet, chased to the stone tablet, stopped, and said in a loud voice, "You...... Don't go against the patriarch!"
"I don't contradict him, who contradicts him?" Du Wanzhen said with a smile from a distance, "I gave him a slap in the head and woke him up." ”
"Alas, this kid ......," the old man sighed, stood in front of the stele, and looked up.
Xu Zhi wanted to follow Du Wanzhen over, but when he heard that the Du family couldn't cross the stone tablet, he had to put out his thoughts.
It took half an hour for Du Wanzhen to turn around, but he didn't come back empty-handed, he still held a corpse in sackcloth in his hands. The corpses had long since dried up, as if they had been dead for days.
"Patriarch, patriarch??" Everyone was shocked when they saw the corpse, and they gathered around in a little panic.
Du Wanzhen put the patriarch's body in front of the stone tablet and said to the old man: "Second uncle, in addition to the patriarch's corpse in the ancestral temple, there is also the corpse of the fourth uncle, I didn't bring ......"
"Alas!" the old man looked at the corpse in front of the stone tablet and sighed, "The patriarch left in a hurry, and he didn't even name the next patriarch, this is ...... Isn't this heaven and soul for us all to do?"
As he spoke, the old man looked at Du Wan Zhen and asked, "Wan Zhen, have you ever found his last words next to the patriarch's corpse?"
"This ......" Du Wanzhen hesitated for a moment, took out a piece of paper from Mai's arms, handed it to the old man, and said, "This is what the patriarch is holding in his hand, I ...... I wanted to ruin the ......"
"This is the patriarch's last words, why did you destroy it?" The old man scolded and hurriedly took it, and when he finished reading it, his face was strange, and he looked at Du Wan Zhen and said, "No wonder you want to destroy it!"
"yes, I really want to destroy it!" Du Wanzhen gritted his teeth.
"What are the patriarch's last words?" the others were strange.
"Look at it!" the old man handed the paper to the others and said, "The patriarch asked Wan Zhen to take over as the patriarch!"
"How is it possible?" the woman didn't believe it at first, and took the paper as she spoke, and after reading it, she also said meaningfully, "The patriarch's last words are stamped with the patriarch's seal, it should be right, Wan Zhen, you ......"
"Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a patriarch!" Du Wan Zhen waved his hand and said angrily, "Lao Tzu just wants to spend the remaining few years at ease!"
The old man didn't speak, and after everyone read the patriarch's last words, he handed the last words back to Du Wanzhen, and said word by word: "This is given to you by the patriarch, you can hold it yourself, anyway, no one in the entire Dingxian Mountain can control you now, you decide for yourself!"
"I ...... I ......" Du Wanzhen took the patriarch's last words, looked at everyone, looked at the patriarch's corpse, and his face was uncertain, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and threw the patriarch's last words again and again, and threw them on the patriarch's corpse, scolding, "This old guy, if you die, let's die, and give Lao Tzu such a big trap! Lao Tzu swore as early as when you killed Lao Tzu's brother, and he is inseparable from you!"
"Wan Zhen ......" The old man looked at the paper ball rolling in the wind, and did not step forward to take it, but said, "You can't complain about the patriarch about Wanchen and Wanyi, there are clan rules in our clan......"
"What bullshit clan rules!" Du Wan said angrily, "There are few people in the clan, what is one less dying child, why should I take the lives of my brother and my sister?"
"There are no rules, there are no rules, and without the clan rules, our mission will be in vain!" the old man said lightly, "Wan Zhen, don't you struggle yourself, can't we barely live just for the inheritance of the blood......line?" If you didn't have this attachment in your heart, you must have destroyed the patriarch's suicide note, right? You would have fled from Dingxian Mountain a long time ago, right?"
"Alas!" Du Wan Zhen sighed unconsciously, as if he was told the central thing by the old man, but after he sighed, he immediately raised his head, his eyes swept over everyone like electricity, and said, "I can take over as the patriarch, but before I take over as the patriarch, I have to ask, since the patriarch is dead, what is the matter with this star gathering thunder? Who is bold enough to dare to touch the thunder pool???
"Ouch, yes!" the old man suddenly came to his senses at this time, and exclaimed, "Since the Gathering Star Thunder was not sent by the patriarch, it must have been someone who violated the clan rules and crossed the thunder pond without permission!"
"Who, hurry up and stand up for Lao Tzu!" Du Wanzhen's face was flat, and his beard was about to stand up.
"Wow wow......" Renshou was frightened by Du Wanzhen, and even grinned and cried.
"Ahem...... cough lightly" Xu Zhi coughed lightly, jumped down from the ancient tree, and raised his voice, "You don't have to look for it, it's me!"
"You...... Who are you???" The closest to Xu Zhi were a few people who came with Du Wanzhen, and they watched Xu Zhi fall in a tunic and immediately jumped up and surrounded Xu Zhi.
"You??" It was Du Wanzhen, his eyes fell on Xu Zhi's face, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and his tongue bloomed and said, "How did you get in?"
"How did I get in, I'll talk about it later!" Xu Zhi looked at the child in Du Shanyue's arms and said with a smile, "Let me show this child first, he has been burning for a few days, and if he burns it again, it may damage his brain." ”
When Du Shanyue heard this, she hugged the child tightly in fear and hid behind Du Shanqi.
A man blocked in front of Xu Zhi and shouted, "Stop!"
Xu Zhi stood still and didn't say much.
"Who are you, and how did you get in?" Du Wanzhen stared at Xu Zhi's eyes, and his tone actually slowed down a little and asked.
Xu Zhi was surprised by Du Wanzhen's tone, he didn't know how this unruly-looking man could be kind to himself. He replied with a smile, "I already said it, it came in from your so-called thunder pool!"
