"What are you doing, choosing an outsider! What a joke!"
Hu Huayu's biological father was the first to refuse. He stood up and retorted: "Besides, he is an outsider who is hostile to our Hu family. Your brother and Dr. Cao were beaten by him. You don't want to take revenge, but you still want to
Is he the head of the Hu family?"
"Grandma has said before that those who attend the meeting are eligible to run for the head of the family."
Hu Huayu said with a serious face: "Xia Tian is grandpa's disciple, and he is not considered an outsider. The eldest brother and the one named Cao are entirely to blame. Xia Tian cannot be blamed."
"You! It's just..." Hu Yingxiong couldn't think of any words to use to describe his son, so he was so angry that he cursed: "You are just a bitch with elbows turned out!"
Xia Tian said with a smile: "If he is a bitch, then who are you?"
"This..." Hu Yingxiong was speechless for a moment.
Hu Yingbao took over and objected with the same clear-cut stance: "If Xia Tian admits that he is Mr. Wan's disciple, then we will naturally have nothing to say, but he does not admit it, so his connection with the Hu family is actually untenable."
"Okay, don't argue about unnecessary things."
Old Mrs. Hu glared at her son with some dissatisfaction, and then said: "This is the ancestral motto of the Hu family. As long as you are involved with the Hu family and recommended by someone, you can participate in the election of the head of the family. If you have any objections, you can go to the meeting.
Fang Yuan goes and talks to Granny Gu God."
This was the final word, and even if there were still people who couldn't agree with it, they didn't dare to use it any further.
"I'm not interested in any kind of house owner, so don't get involved with me."
Xia Tian waved his hand and said casually: "I just came over to have a meal and watch the excitement."
At this time, Allen smiled and said to Xia Tian: "You can try it if you are interested, and you are not really qualified. If you want to watch the excitement, you can see it most clearly by sitting in the front row."
"Second Master, are you trying to trick me?"
Xia Tian curled his lips and said somewhat unhappily.
Allen said calmly: "You are so smart, who can trick you?"
"That's true."
Xia Tian nodded, "However, Second Master, don't think that you can trick me with this trick. I said I'm not interested, so I'm not interested."
Mrs. Hu originally wanted to persuade Xia Tian, but when she heard that he was so determined, she said: "Since you are so determined, I won't force myself to do anything difficult.
Huayu, the last choice is up to you."
"Yes, grandma."
Hu Huayu nodded.
At this time, some people realized that Hu Huayu should be using the strategy of retreating to advance. He is an illegitimate son. If he nominates himself, there will definitely be objections. Moreover, if they run together as father and son, there will be controversy.
So he threw Xia Tian out first, which aroused everyone's unanimous anger, but Xia Tian himself was not interested, and then it was natural for him to occupy Xia Tian's quota, and it was not easy for others to object.
"This boy is not simple."
Allen also figured it out and said to Xia Tian: "You are being used by others."
Xia Tian said lightly: "Second Master, you are the one who was taken advantage of. Do you still remember what you came here to do?"
"Well?"
Allen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses. Didn't he come here to find the killer? Why did he become one of the hosts of the Hu family for no apparent reason?
"Okay, now we have determined three people to run for the position of head of the family."
The old gentleman who was called Mo Gong said loudly at this time: "That is the old lady's eldest son Hu Yingxiong, second son Hu Yingbao, and grandson Hu Huayu..." Hu Yingdie couldn't help but have an opinion, raised his hand and protested: "Wait a minute.
Wait, did Mr. Mo forget me?"
"Oh, plus the third daughter Hu Yingdie, there are four people in total. Are there any omissions?"
Mo Gong looked around and asked again: "Is there anyone else who wants to run for the election? This is the last time. If not, then let's go to the next step."
In the banquet hall, no one had any objections.
"Sister, you can start now."
Mo Gongchong said to Mrs. Hu: "To avoid causing more troubles, it is better to settle this matter as soon as possible."
Mrs. Hu nodded and said to Qi Yushi: "Yushi, go and take out that thing."
"yes."
Qi Yushi retreated and left, then came back with a box in his arms. He walked up to Mrs. Hu and put the box down.
The box was only as big as a palm, and was entirely black. It had unusually complicated patterns on it, and was bordered with blood paint, exuding an age-old aura.
"Huh?"
When Ah Jiu saw the box, there was a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
Xia Tian glanced at Ah Jiu and asked: "Jiu Yatou, what's wrong with you?"
"I seem to have seen this box somewhere."
Ah Jiu frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "Do you have any impression?"
"No impression."
Xia Tian's memory is actually very good. It would be an insult to him to have a photographic memory, but he has a characteristic. Things that he is not interested in will not catch his eyes at all, let alone remember. "Jiu Yatou, if you like this kind of box
, I can find a few for you to play with."
"A few more, it's up to you."
Allen couldn't help but said: "This is not the best way to pick up girls. I really thought you could create things. This box is a secret box passed down from generation to generation by the Hu family. It is used to raise voodoos. The highest-grade one is called source voodoo."
, is golden.
This kind of red-painted black box is called the Secret Gu Box.
You can't see that anywhere else."
"I said it looked familiar, not because of the box, but because of the patterns on it."
Ah Jiu explained casually and said to Xia Tian: "Do you remember that in the Immortal World, there is also a small box in the room of the Immortal Emperor?"
Saying this, Xia Tian instantly retrieved some impressions from the discarded memories: "Isn't that a music box?"
"I'm talking about the pattern on the box."
Ah Jiu said seriously: "It cannot be said that the pattern on this secret box is exactly the same as the rune pattern on that music box, at least it can be said that they are exactly the same."
Xia Tian glanced at the black secret box and nodded: "Jiu Yatou, you are right, they are indeed the same."
"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Allen picked at his ears, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"That's because you're old."
Xia Tian said with a smile: "Of course you don't understand what young people say."
Allen moved his fingertips, revealing a sharp thorn: "Boy, if you continue to behave like me, do you believe I will stab two holes in your body?"
"Second Master, stop making trouble, you can't stab me."
Xia Tian curled his lips: "If you have this time, let's think about how to catch the killer. He is actually in this banquet hall."
Allen narrowed his eyes: "You might as well just tell me who got it."
"That won't work."
Xia Tian shook his head: "There is a strange smell here, which covers up the murderous intention of the killer, so I can't tell it for the time being."
"There are actually people you can't identify?"
Allen laughed and said teasingly: "That's strange. You're not competitive at all and want to catch him?"
Xia Tian didn't feel any frustration at all, and said calmly: "This man has no grudge against me, and he didn't provoke me, so why should I bother to catch him."
"OK."
Allen knew what kind of virtue Xia Tian was and was too lazy to ask again.
Xia Tian took the initiative and said with a smile: "Second Master, do you want me to help you then? If you haven't taken action for so many years, will your martial arts deteriorate?"
"Stay back and watch with your eyes wide open when the time comes."
Allen said angrily: "Look how I can kill him neatly!"
At this time, everyone in the banquet hall was attracted by the black box.
The Gu tribe has always been mysterious. Although it has become more and more popular in the past hundred years, ordinary people still know very little about this tribe, and all they hear are scattered legends.
Most of the people in the banquet hall have some relationship with the Hu family, but they also don't have much knowledge. Especially about this kind of secret box, they have only heard of it and basically never seen it.
"This is one of the secret boxes passed down from generation to generation by the Hu family, the Secret Box for Hiding Gu."
Mrs. Hu put one hand on the box and said to everyone in a soft voice: "In the box, there is a Gu insect called the Consciousness Qi Gu. It takes ten years to raise one. It can distinguish people's luck.
If he flies to someone or enters someone's body, it means who has the best luck, and that person can be the head of the family."
"When it comes to luck, it has to be me."
Hu Yingxiong's eyebrows twitched, and a bad memory arose in his heart. About ten years ago, he was picked up by the Consciousness Qi Gu.
But later on, I made a mistake and the Consciousness Qi Gu in my body died.
Hu Yingbao snorted coldly: "Brother, you have already killed one and you want to kill another."
If that's the case, your family will have to wipe your butt again."
"you shut up!"
Hu Yingxiong flew into a rage, pointed at his younger brother and yelled: "Don't think about it. I am the only one in the entire Hu family who is lucky enough to lead the Hu family to overcome difficulties and turn the crisis into safety."
"Stop arguing and let Gu Chong make his own choice."
Hu Huayu said calmly.
Old Mrs. Hu suddenly bit the tip of her index finger, and a drop of blood dripped in the middle of the lines of the black box. There was an eye-like figure there. After being stained with blood, it suddenly lit up and melted into a hole as big as the size of a finger.
I saw a white insect crawling out of the narrow hole. The banquet hall was suddenly filled with a strange smell. Everyone was shocked, as if a big stone was pressing on their hearts, and their breathing was a little tight.
Not smooth.
Xia Tian stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ah Jiu's body, infusing a ray of ice and fire spiritual energy that relieved her of the suffocating feeling.
"Jiu Yatou, are you okay?"
Xia Tian asked with a smile.
Ah Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief. In fact, the air pressure was not strong. It was just a bit sudden and made her uncomfortable for a moment: "You're fine, but can you press your hand in a different place?"
"Ah, this location is quite good. I feel very comfortable."
Xia Tian lowered his head and glanced, then said with a smile.
Ah Jiu slapped Xia Tian's hand away angrily, and immediately looked at the Gu insect.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a gunshot, and the white Gu insect was immediately exploded.
