Chapter 563 Lu Xin
Shortly after the Great Elder of the Ghost Realm announced that the Dao Ceremony would be held in three years' time, many of the Ghost Lords present could not bear it any longer and began to whisper among themselves in low voices. Although such whispering was not very polite and might have disturbed the order of the meeting, the great elder gave his tacit approval and did not stop. After all, this kind of news is of great significance to the Ghost Realm and involves too many stakes, so it is only natural for all the ghost princes here to whisper a few words about it.
However, no matter how vigorously these ghost princes discussed, they still glanced at the great elder sitting in the center of the entire venue with their peripheral vision. They did not dare to raise their voices even slightly, obviously because they were afraid of touching the great elder's face. Divine power.
Just when Huan Yin once again marveled at the power of the Great Elder of the Ghost Realm, a voice shouted out with some trembling and a bit of desperate energy: "First Elder, dare I ask about this inheritance?" Are the rules for selecting juniors who participate in Tao rituals still the same as before?”
Huan Yin was a little surprised, thinking that if a ghost prince didn't even understand the rules of the ceremony for his own ghost domain, he dared to ask the elder on such an occasion, wouldn't he be ignorant of life and death? When Huan Yin looked at the place where the sound came from with a little speechlessness, wanting to see which idiot was asking the question, the surprise in his heart turned into consternation in an instant.
"Isn't this the grandfather of that pustule?" Huan Yin looked at an old ghost prince sitting in the row behind the elder of the ghost domain and recognized who it was at a glance.
In the outer ring of the ghost realm, it was this questioning ghost prince who completely crushed Huan Yin and Huan Shu, who had just entered the ghost realm for the first time, and threw them into the demon fighting field in the outer ring. At that time, he was simply invincible to Huan Yin. Looking at it now, Huan Yin still felt that he was quite powerful, but he could not detect it with his spiritual sense at the moment, so his specific depth was unknown.
At this moment, the expression on the face of the impudent grandfather is constantly changing. He feels a little desperate, but also uneasy. Obviously, his mood was extremely contradictory at this moment, but he didn't know why he had such an expression and behavior.
The Great Elder's eyes slowly turned to the hungry ghost who was questioning him, and many ghost princes in the field slowly became quiet, and their eyes followed the Great Elder. When all the ghost princes found out who was asking the question, not only did they not feel the slightest surprise, but they showed an expression that showed that it was really him, even the great elder did the same.
These ghost princes all knew that the question just now was the fifth time that the pustular grandfather had asked the great elder. Five simple inquiries represented more than a hundred years. The grandfather of this impetuous general could boldly ask the Great Elder the same question again and again, and has persisted for more than a hundred years. Naturally, it is because he has always had a wish in his heart, but has never been able to realize it. . This wish made him so insistent that he did not hesitate to offend the great elder of the Ghost Realm, which shows its importance to him.
After staring at the pustified ghost general's grandfather for a long time, the great elder did not get angry in the end. Instead, he sighed heavily, nodded, and said: "Yes, how to choose the candidates for this ceremony? According to the old rules, each of our Ghost Lords can recommend one person. As long as I can see the person recommended by the Ghost Lord, he can enter the Ghost King's Palace and try to understand the path of the Ghost King. "
Having said this, the great elder paused and took another deep look at the pustular ghost general's grandfather, and then said: "I understand what you mean. I heard that your grandson has reached the early stage of Life Palm, right? Right? He has been practicing Taoism for less than 750 years, and he is considered a talent in cultivation. It's a pity..."
As soon as the great elder's words came out of his mouth, Huan Yin suddenly understood. He should have thought that with the pustule ghost general Grandpa's doting on the pustule, who would he recommend if he tried every means to recommend him?
However, Grandpa Guijiang’s recommendation has been unsuccessful four times in a row. This is naturally not because the Pussy Ghost General's cultivation is slow, but because his personality is too cowardly to hold a big position. Even the title of "Ghost General" given to him was actually just for his grandfather's sake.
When he heard the three words "It's a pity" from the great elder, Grandpa Ghost General's face suddenly darkened. He didn't blame the elder, he only blamed himself for being too doting on his grandson, which resulted in his current character. However, he doesn't regret it, because as a grandfather, how can he not dote on his grandson?
"Forget it, I won't interfere with who you want to recommend this time, you can do it yourself. I just hope you can remember that Chengdao is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for hungry ghosts like us, and it is the dream of many young and outstanding descendants. This kind of opportunity should be reserved for those juniors who are most likely to contribute to our ghost realm and bring hope to our ghost realm." Finally, the great elder continued, including ghosts. The Guihou, including his grandfather, all looked shocked at the same time and looked at the great elder in disbelief.
Although the great elder's words contained merciless contempt for the ghost general, the meaning behind his words was that he clearly agreed to the ghost general's request. Doesn't the so-called "non-interference" mean that the ghost general's grandfather can recommend whomever he wants?
Not to mention the ghost general's grandfather, even all the other ghost princes thought they had heard wrong just now. You know, the Great Elder has always been extremely strict, and he even rejected the ghost general's grandfather four times. How could he suddenly relent today?
"Grand...Grand Elder, thank you for your kindness!" The old face of Ghost General Grandpa could no longer conceal his excitement and ecstasy. He stood up and bowed to the Grand Elder.
"I will definitely keep the teachings of the Grand Elder in mind and teach the unpromising grandson in my family well, so as not to let down the great kindness of the Grand Elder!" Ghost General Grandpa spoke excitedly again.
Waving his hand casually, the Grand Elder said: "Okay, let's leave it at that." At this point, the Grand Elder raised his head slightly, and his eyes looked further away, looking at the edge of the venue.
At this time, the Grand Elder still had his back to Huan Yin, so Huan Yin still couldn't see the true face of Ghost Marquis Lu. Just when Huan Yin was a little worried, the Grand Elder continued to speak: "Lu Xin, come here."
After the Grand Elder's voice fell, a young hungry ghost stood up at the edge of the entire venue and slowly moved towards the center of the venue.
This young hungry ghost was very low-key before, so Huan Yin had observed the entire venue for so long, but he didn't even notice his existence. Now it seems that this young hungry ghost is obviously not bigger than the pus-filled ghost general, and naturally he can't be a ghost marquis. So what is the meaning of his appearance at this ghost marquis meeting?
The young hungry ghost was dressed simply, with only a gray Taoist robe covering his body. There was no childishness on his face, but a mature temperament, which matched his slightly ferocious face, making Huan Yin look at him slightly sideways.
"The so-called outstanding young generation of hungry ghosts refers to hungry ghosts like him, right?" Huan Yin thought to himself, and couldn't help but secretly praise him.
The young hungry ghost's steps were steady but unrestrained, and he didn't show any cowardice or fear at all because of the presence of all the ghost marquises. He quickly came to the elder, bowed to him, and said, "Grandpa."
Huan Yin suddenly realized that this young hungry ghost was the elder's grandson, no wonder he was so generous. As the saying goes, "a tiger father will have a dog son", and it is obvious that the elder is also a tiger grandfather and a dog grandson.
Nodding, the elder motioned Lu Xin to stand beside him. Lu Xin understood and stood beside the elder respectfully and without being inferior, facing all the other ghost lords.
"I wonder how similar his grandfather is to him." Huan Yin looked at Lu Xin, who had only left a back view to him, and thought in his heart.
"Lu Xin, come and greet the ghost lords." The elder looked at his grandson with satisfaction, and then spoke loudly.
Lu Xin respectfully bowed to all the ghost lords present, then bowed down and said loudly: "Lu Xin greets all the seniors!"
It was not the first time for all the ghost lords to meet Lu Xin. They knew that Lu Xin was the only grandson of the great elder. The great elder had great hopes for him and disciplined him very seriously. And obviously, Lu Xin did not disappoint his grandfather. He has been practicing Taoism for less than 500 years, but he has reached the middle stage of life palm cultivation, which can be called a genius among ghosts. And his personality and character are even more mature and steady, completely different from ordinary hungry ghost descendants. At first glance, he is a talent who can take on great responsibilities.
Therefore, after Lu Xin greeted them, all the ghost lords smiled and nodded in response, which was to give face to the great elder and also a recognition of Lu Xin.
"The reason why I called Lu Xin here today is not for anything else, but because I feel that he is now ready. So, the person I will nominate to participate in the ceremony of succession is him!" The Great Elder spoke again, causing all the Ghost Marquises present to show a look of sudden realization.
