Volume 40 Chapter 28 Darkness Arrives (2)
The ancestral hall of Huaiyuantang is on Baohu Mountain, which is also one of the forbidden places in Baohu City, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach or enter.
Zhang Tie followed the road in Baohu City and walked to the foot of Baohu Mountain. As soon as he entered the range of Baohu Mountain, warriors from the Huaiyuan Hall stationed at the foot of Baohu Mountain came up to stop him.
"This is the important place of the Huaiyuantang family, tourists are not allowed!"
The family warriors who stopped Zhang Tie formed a team of ten, divided into two teams and stood at the entrance of the mountain road into Baohu Mountain. The warriors of the family tribe standing here were all tall, wearing heavy armor and hanging heavy swords on their waists. It looked very dignified and solemn. Behind the warriors, there were two family deacons standing here waiting for execution.
At the entrance, there is also a huge stone building, more than 20 meters high, just above the building, there are four strong golden characters - Huaiyuan family style.
Zhang Tie didn't speak, but pulled down his hood to reveal his face.
Seeing Zhang Tie's face, the twenty samurai and the two family deacons under the building shook at the same time. All the samurai knelt down on one knee at the same time, and the family deacons also bowed to the ground, saying in unison, "Meet Elder Mu Shen!"
In Baohu City, even ordinary people may recognize Zhang Tie's face, let alone the warriors of the family clan stationed in Baohu Mountain. Everyone knew it, especially Zhang Tie came back this time, and everyone in Huaiyuan Hall who knew a little news was even more excited. Zhang Tie's prestige in Huaiyuan Hall reached a peak.
"Don't be too polite!" Zhang Tie was thinking about something in his head, and he didn't have much interest in saying anything. He just said a word, and walked directly past the archway and up the mountain. Two family deacons hurriedly greeted and led the way, Zhang Tie took it to the ancestral hall of Huaiyuan Hall.
"Have the patriarch and other elders arrived yet?" Zhang Tie asked the two family deacons.
After Zhang Taixuan took charge of the great seal of the governor of Youzhou, Zhang Taixuan and the elders in Huaiyuan Hall spent more time in Youzhou City than in Baohu City. If so, it would be easier for the many elders of Huaiyuan Hall to gather together in Youzhou City than in Baohu City.
In fact, the Clan Elders Conference could also be held in Youzhou City this time, but with Zhang Taixuan’s caution, he was afraid that people would criticize him and say that Youzhou City would become Huaiyuan Hall after he became the governor, so he still chose Baohu city.
"Ten minutes ago, except for Elder Murray, all the elders and Patriarchs have arrived at the main hall of the ancestral hall!" The deacon who led the way replied respectfully.
Zhang Tie came to Baohu Mountain one hour earlier than the scheduled meeting of the elders. After becoming a Knight of the Earth, Zhang Tie also paid great attention to his image in Huaiyuan Hall, not wanting to give people the feeling of being arrogant and arrogant. So they arrived an hour earlier, and Zhang Huaiyuan and the elders of other clans in Huaiyuan Hall also arrived at about this time.
Zhang Tie nodded.
The ancestral hall is on the upper part of Baohu Mountain. At this time, there are still some white snow on the pine needles on Baohu Mountain, but the stone steps up the mountain are cleaned very clean.
Almost when Zhang Tie came to the terrace outside the main hall of the ancestral hall, a figure with flames descended from the sky and landed beside Zhang Tie.
"Elder Murray!"
"Elder Mu Shen!"
The two said hello, and walked into the ancestral hall together. Elders Zhang Taixuan, Mu An, Mu Yuan, Mu Yu, and Mu En in the ancestral hall came out to greet Zhang Tie and Elder Murray at the same time.
Everyone greeted each other at the gate of the ancestral hall.
The elders hadn't seen each other for nearly a month, and when they met again, neither Zhang Tie nor the others looked relaxed.
Zhang Taixuan glanced at everyone, "Since all the elders have arrived, there is no need to wait any longer, this family meeting will begin now!"
Everyone nodded, and the group walked directly into the main hall of the ancestral hall. As soon as a few people entered, the door of the main hall of the ancestral hall was closed, and a group of deacons of the clan guarded outside the main hall of the ancestral hall. There were also reliable family members inside the main hall. The chalk deacon was taking care of him, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The mighty statue of Lord Huaiyuan holding the bow still stands in the main hall of the ancestral hall, no different from when he was in Jinyun Kingdom.
As the head of the family, Zhang Taixuan took Zhang Tie and the other elders to offer incense to Duke Huaiyuan and the ranking of the ancestors of the family clan in the past, and then everyone took their seats at the round table in the hall.
Zhang Tie is sitting next to Zhang Taixuan. In terms of his status in the family, he is already significantly higher than other elders. After completing the wheel-running ceremony of the advanced earth knight, Zhang Tie will become The only Supreme Elder of Huaiyuan Hall, although Zhang Tie has not officially become the Supreme Elder of Huaiyuan Hall, his status in all aspects has gradually been revealed, whether it is Zhang Taixuan or the elders of other clans. , does anyone have any comments.
After taking his seat, Zhang Taixuan looked around with a serious expression, "In mid-November last year, the Xuanyuan Hill looked at the sun, and the secret identity of Dasinong Han Zhengfang, one of the Taixia Jiuqing, was revealed. Dao fought in the Humble Heart Garden, and the world was shaken. In just one night, more than 70 Taixia prefectures broke out in bloody disasters, and the people were devastated. .
Speaking of which, the elders of the several families sitting here glanced at Zhang Tie without any trace of their eyes, Zhang Taixuan also paused deliberately, and also glanced at Zhang Tie—the people sitting here are not stupid , Han Zhengfang was the mastermind behind the Fuhai City massacre, and when Han Zhengfang's secret identity was revealed by more than 100,000 swans using the most exaggerated "big-character poster" in Xuanyuan Hill, counting the time, Zhang Tie happened to be in Xuanyuan Hill. Zhiqiu, this is really a bit of a coincidence. When the victim of the Fuhai City tragedy and the mastermind behind the scenes were in Xuanyuan Hill, the incident broke out, and the mastermind behind the scenes was lifted up by "force majeure". Huaiyuan couldn't help but The elders of the hall had some more ideas in their minds.
But this matter is too weird. The one who can drive so many swans in Xuanyuan Hill at one time, and let so many swans do this kind of thing with arms and fingers, must be a top beast master. Such a character, the whole There will not be more than ten in Taixia. Zhang Tie seems to know a little bit of beast control. Many knights in Taixia know a little bit of beast control. This is not surprising. Zhang Tie's beast control seems to be from the guardian god sect Where did he learn it, but it is not too strong, the elders of Huaiyuan Hall know this, if Zhang Tie has mastered such a terrifying beast control technique, the elders of Huaiyuan Hall will be the first to feel It's unbelievable, and Zhang Tie's going to Xuanyuan Hill should be aimed at the Wanbao Conference and the blood men in Zhongzhou. There should be no doubt about this. Can you know Han Zhengfang's secret identity? You must know that Han Zhengfang has been hiding in Xuanyuan Hill for so many years, and it has already been deeply rooted, and it is impermeable. It is absolutely difficult for an outsider to dig out his identity. It is related to the change, and it feels a bit far-fetched.
On the one hand, it is a weird coincidence, and on the other hand, it is an ability that is difficult to explain. Coincidence is the motive, but ability cannot come out of thin air. Zhang Tie himself never mentions the matter of Xuanyuan Hill, so Zhang Taixuan and a group of elders will He gave Zhang Tie a strange look.
Zhang Tie is well aware of this, but at this time, if he is asked to focus the attention of Tongtianjiao and Tun Party on himself and turn him into a target again, he will not do anything, anyway, if he does not Admittedly, no one in the world can say that Xuanyuan Hill’s change of looking at the sun is related to him. During the Wanbao Conference, there were thousands of knight masters in Xuanyuan Hill. Who dares to say that they have never been to Xuanyuan Hill before, let alone I have been in contact with Han Zhengfang, and I know Han Zhengfang's background only a few days after I arrived at Xuanyuan Hill. This is too fantastic. I should have known Han Zhengfang's identity earlier. When it came out, Han Zhengfang was also the target of public criticism. If he really wanted to say it, he could only say that he had been scapegoated for a long time, and even God couldn't stand it anymore. Only then did he completely clear himself of the crime.
Zhang Tie also glanced at everyone, and blinked innocently.
Everyone looked at Zhang Tie, and found that Zhang Tie was silent at such a time, and had nothing to say at all, so everyone turned their attention away from Zhang Tie. Naturally, this matter will not happen in Huaiyuan Hall in the future. Someone bring it up again.
"Cough...cough..." Zhang Taixuan cleared his throat and continued, "Now that Emperor Xuanyuan is missing, there is already a tendency of instability in Taixia. , even Youzhou was not spared, the holy war has only been going on for a few years now, and the real demon army has not yet reached Taixia, but Taixia has internal and external troubles, and there are many conflicts. All elders are invited to come to the ancestral hall of the family clan to discuss the big plans of the family clan and make plans early!"
"Our Huaiyuantang is Taixia who has returned from the Weiyi subcontinent. The foundation in Taixia is still incomparable with other giants in Taixia. Taixia is the last habitat of my Huaiyuantang. Our Huaiyuantang has already retreated. There is no way to retreat, this point, all the elders are very clear, so there are some things we Huaiyuantang have to plan in advance."
After Zhang Taixuan, it was Elder Mu En who opened his mouth. Elder Mu En came from the Yiyang City lineage of Huaiyuan Hall. This opening reconciled with Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Tie glanced at Elder Mu Yuan , Elder Mu Yuan also glanced at him, and the elders sitting here looked at each other, knowing that Zhang Taixuan might say something amazing at this family elder meeting...

ps: I recommend Feng Qi Xianyun's masterpiece - "Nine Transformations of the Sky", with more than 3.6 million words, it is ready to be slaughtered.
——Su Yang, the descendant of the evil emperor at the end of the Sui Dynasty, practiced the miraculous skills of "Nine Changes of the Sky", and was reborn in the modern age. The wealth of contacts accumulated in the ninth generation is incredible.
In modern times, there are countless clues in the ninth generation. It turns out that the transformation of the ninth generation is not the end of the drama, but the beginning of a legend. (
