Final Volume Chapter 24
Tang Yin's words actually touched the hearts of all the elders. 【!// Now the Shenchi is riddled with holes and can no longer withstand the torment. If the newly elected Holy King is like Guang Hanting, who does one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes, the Shenchi will be destroyed. Not far away.
An elder named Fan Li stood up and said: "I think His Royal Highness the Wind King is right. The Holy King we choose this time may not be exquisite in martial arts, and his prestige may not be enough to convince the public, but his character must be upright. We must be consistent on the outside and don’t choose Guanghan Ting and others to cause harm again!”
Fan Li's words resonated with many elders. Everyone nodded. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that Ren Xiao was also a good candidate. First of all, he had a good character and had an irreversible friendship with the Wind King, so he would not put Shenchi in danger. Secondly, He is young and relatively easier to control. Choosing him to be the Holy King will not do any harm to himself at least.
Seeing that the attitudes of the elders had softened and seemed to agree with Tang Yin's proposal, Lu Jian became anxious and said again: "The new Holy King can only be elected among the elders. In any case, I will not agree to be elected by Yi Huang." Kouchiao'er will be the holy king of my divine pond!"
Lu Jian's opinions also represent the thoughts of quite a few elders. As soon as he finished speaking, an elder stood up and echoed: "Elder Lu is right. Is it because there is no one in our divine pool? He wants to take the position of Holy King." Pass it to a young boy!"
"Yes, there are so many elders here, why should he let Xiao become the Holy King?"
"But His Royal Highness the Wind King is right. The virtue of a Holy King is far better than the level of spiritual strength and prestige. Everyone knows Mr. Ren's conduct. It is most suitable for Mr. Ren to be the Holy King."
Everyone said something to each other, and soon the opinions became polarized. One side agreed with Ren Xiao to become the Holy King, while the other side firmly opposed it, and the two sides fell into endless arguments.
Seeing this, Tang Yin secretly shook his head. This is the disadvantage of Shenchi. All major and minor matters are discussed and decided by the elders. However, if the same rice feeds all kinds of people, how can people keep the same mind? No matter big or small, the elders always decide. If you argue endlessly, the final result will be low efficiency and nothing will be accomplished.
He turned his head slightly, looked at Ah San behind him, and winked at him. The latter understood, took two steps back, and slowly walked out of the presbytery against the wall.
Not long after Ah San went out, Xia Yao walked in from outside. Listening to the extremely noisy arguments, she smiled lightly and said, "I wonder what the elders are arguing about?"
Hearing the words, everyone turned their heads to look and saw that the person who came was a saint. The elders were all startled.
When Guang Hanting was here, he had set a law that strictly prohibited the saint from leaving the temple. Now that Guang Hanting is dead, the laws he set have also disappeared with him. However, people suddenly saw the saint in the presbytery, and they still had some reaction. Don't come.
After a moment of pause, the elders came back to their senses, stood up one after another, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the saint!"
"Elders haven't said what they are arguing about yet!" Xia Yao walked slowly into the elders' courtyard and looked around at everyone present calmly.
Lu Jian said: "Holy girl, we are discussing the selection of the Holy King!"
"Oh? I wonder if the elders already have a suitable candidate?" Xia Yao asked pretending to be curious.
The relationship between Xia Yao and Ren Xiao was not a secret to Tang Yin, but the elders had no idea.
Lu Jian frowned and said: "Reporting to the Saint, His Royal Highness Feng Wang proposed that Young Master Ren Xiaoren be the Holy King. However, Young Master Ren is young and was once the adopted son of Guang Han, so he is really not a suitable candidate! "
Fan Li answered: "Young Master Ren has good conduct and a gentle nature. I think it is most suitable for Young Master Ren to serve as the Holy King."
Xia Yao smiled leisurely and said with an indifferent expression: "I shouldn't get involved in the selection of the Holy King, but I am worried that I will make the same mistake again and select a second Guang Hanting to meddle with the Holy Temple and attract divine punishment!"
The elders all understood what she meant. Guanghan issued a decree strictly prohibiting the saint from going out, as if the saint was under house arrest in the temple. Doing so was indeed a kind of blasphemy against the gods. Lu Jian asked seriously: "I wonder what the saint's opinion is on this matter?"
"I dare not express my opinion, but I also think that His Highness the Wind King's proposal is good. Mr. Ren is indeed the best candidate for the Holy King. Among the adopted sons and daughters with a large audience in Guanghan, the only one who can emerge from the mud and remain untainted is It can be seen that Mr. Ren has a simple nature and is different from ordinary people. If he serves as the new holy king of Shenchi, at least I no longer have to worry about the temple being tainted by evil people and the Shenchi being implicated by evil people," Xia Yao said slowly. .
Her understatement was too heavy in the hearts of the elders. If Tang Yin supports Ren Xiao because they have a close personal relationship and hides their selfish motives, then the saint also supports Ren Xiao, which makes people think deeply and re-examine the matter.
After hearing her words, the elders who originally supported Ren Xiao became more determined, while the elders who opposed Ren Xiao becoming the Holy King also began to waver, and they all bowed their heads in silence.
Lu Jian's brows furrowed. He looked at Xia Yao, then at Tang Yin who was smiling beside him, and his thoughts suddenly changed. The Saint came early and late, but she came just when the elders were electing the Saint King. She also expressed her attitude and supported Ren Xiao as soon as she came. Is this a coincidence or was it planned secretly?
"Holy girl, this matter is of great importance. Don't make a rash decision..."
"The dragons cannot be without a leader, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. The Shenchi is now in ruins and is in need of a new king to take charge of the overall situation. How can we say that this matter is not urgent?" Xia Yao said seriously: "Elder Lu has repeatedly opposed Mr. Ren. As a holy king, is it okay to have a personal grudge against him?”
Lu Jianzi was shocked, waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "No, no, no! There is absolutely no personal grudge between me and Mr. Ren... It's just that I just feel that Mr. Ren is young and it's hard to convince everyone..."
Xia Yao smiled and said: "It is said that Guang Hanting has lived for more than five hundred years, which is old enough, but he is still the number one sinner in Shenchi in thousands of years."
Lu Jian blushed and was speechless by Xia Yao. Seeing this, Fan Li immediately followed and said: "Even the Saintess has determined that Young Master Ren is the best candidate for the Saint King. In my opinion, there is no need to discuss this matter further, let's just settle it!"
Xia Yao stood up to support Ren Xiao and became the key to changing everyone's minds. The elders looked at each other in shock. Although no one said anything, no one stood up to object.
Tang Yin nodded secretly. The Saint's status in the Divine Pond was indeed extraordinary. Her words were worth thousands of his own. He turned to look at Xiao Xuan beside him and asked: "Brother Xiao Wang, what do you think?"
For Xiao Xuan, the Holy King of Shenchi can be anyone, but it cannot be Ren Xiao. The friendship between Ren Xiao and Tang Yin is too deep. If Ren Xiao becomes the Holy King, then Shenchi will definitely side with Feng State in the future. If Sichuan State and Feng State break up and fight, Feng State, which has the support of Shenchi, will undoubtedly become more powerful. , how could Sichuan country be its opponent?
This matter has involved the fundamental interests of the Sichuan country, and even life and death, Xiao Xuan cannot give in even half a step.
He said sternly: "I don't agree with Ren Xiao being the new Holy King of Shenchi. Guang Han has heard that his crime is extremely evil. Just the fact that Ren Xiao is his adopted son is not enough to convince the world."
Of course Tang Yin could understand Xiao Xuan's thoughts. He said with a smile: "But Brother Xiao Wang, after all, the selection of the Holy King is an internal matter of Shenchi. We can only provide some opinions, but we cannot influence the decisions of the elders! Now all the elders have I have already approved the appointment of Young Master as the new Holy King. If Brother Xiao Wang blocks it again, he will be suspected of overstepping his bounds."
Xiao Xuan suddenly frowned, Tang Yin was trying to seal his mouth! He said sternly: "The Holy King of Shenchi has always been respected by people in the world, but if Guang Hanting's adopted son is chosen to be the Holy King, who in the world will respect him? They will only be disgusted, and they will also resent Shenchi's unfair treatment. , This will have a great impact on the reputation of Shenchi, so the new Holy King of Shenchi must not be Ren Xiao."
After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, the elders felt that what he said made sense. They knew Ren Xiao's character, but that didn't mean that the people all over the world also knew that people would only spread the word about Shenchi and elect Guang Hanting's adopted son to be the Holy King, which would indeed greatly damage the reputation of Shenchi.
Seeing all the elders frowning and hesitating due to his words, Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice: "If the elders insist on recommending Ren Xiao as the Holy King, I will be the first to disagree. In the future, Sichuan Kingdom will also assert We will no longer provide any supplies to Shenchi!”
The elders all took a breath when they heard this. You must know that Sichuan Kingdom has always been the most important source of supply for Shenchi. Especially recently, Feng Kingdom has successively annexed the four countries of Ning, Mo, An, and Huan. Feng Kingdom has no tradition of providing supplies to Shenchi. Now it has annexed the four countries, causing these four countries to no longer send supplies to Shenchi. Currently, the only country that still provides supplies to Shenchi is Sichuan State. If even Sichuan State cuts off the supply of Shenchi, Shenchi will What else do you rely on to survive?
"This...His Royal Highness Prince Sichuan calms down, this is absolutely impossible..." An elder couldn't hold back his anger, stood up hurriedly, and repeatedly held his hands.
Xiao Xuan wanted this effect, and he knew very well what kind of disaster would happen to Shenchi once he lost the supplies from Sichuan Kingdom.
However, some elders were anxious, and some were indignant, including Lu Jian. Although he did not support Ren Xiao becoming the Holy King, things were settled in one fell swoop. Xiao Xuan's words were tantamount to directly threatening Shenchi. , if his wishes were fulfilled this time, wouldn’t Shenchi have to obey the orders of Sichuan State in everything from now on, and wouldn’t Shenchi become a vassal state of Sichuan State?
Before Lu Jian could stand up and refute Xiao Xuan, Xia Yao had already snorted coldly and said quietly: "Countries have provided money and food to Shenchi so that Shenchi can concentrate on studying Lingwu and carry forward Lingwu. The agreement between the monarchs at the beginning of the founding of the country, and now His Highness the King of Sichuan is using it to threaten Shenchi, it is really an insult to the majesty of His Highness the King of Sichuan, and it is also an insult to the previous kings of the Sichuan Kingdom!
