Chapter 0247 Five elders, tit for tat (third update)
These uninvited guests are all elders of Baicao Hall. To be precise, they are all elders of Baicao Hall who are going to participate in this alchemy meeting.
Except for Minghua Tuo, the other five elders are all older than Minghua Tuo. The most senior among them is none other than Elder Yang Gong.
This Elder Yanggong is over six hundred years old and is considered to be a veteran among the elders of Baicaotang. Elder Yanggong has white hair and beard, and has a goatee.
The other four elders are Elder Zhu San, who is as fat as a pig, Elder Mu Tianya Mu, the only female elder among the five, Elder Shui Jing, a gentle Taoist, and Elder Wang Yang, who is famous in Ren Cangqiong but has never met.
Of these five people, in terms of qualifications, Elder Yanggong is the eldest and the one with the most bad temper.
Minghua Tuo accompanied me and personally received these five elders.
Seeing Han Li leading Ren Cangqiong to arrive, Minghua Tuo was a little embarrassed at first, but he found his way to the bottom of the steps and said with a smile: "Today is such a happy event. First, the elders came to visit, but I didn't expect that Cangqiong's enshrinement will be here soon. It seems that it's me today.
An auspicious day for Dongfu."
"Ren Cangqiong?" Elder Wang Yang's face darkened, and his eyes, like a falcon, flashed with light and stared at Ren Cangqiong.
This Wang Yang is the second uncle of Deacon Wang, and is the elder of Baicaotang. Although he ranks in the middle, he is still an elder.
Although Deacon Wang was not his direct grandson, Elder Wang Yang must have been very angry when he was openly slapped in the face by Ren Cangqiong and even had his deacon's robe taken off.
Not giving him face as Elder Wang Yang hurt his elder's reputation. Because Deacon Wang was the one who was wrong in what happened, he never had an attack.
However, just because he didn't have an attack doesn't mean he doesn't hold grudges.
Seeing Ren Cangqiong's swaggering arrival, Wang Yang was filled with evil fire.
On the other hand, the only female elder, Mu Tianya, smiled and watched Ren Cangqiong approaching from afar. He squinted his eyes and stared at Ren Cangqiong, as if he was admiring a rare treasure, his eyes full of appreciation.
Elder Zhu San, a big fat man, kept his eyes open and kept enjoying the rare fruits and vegetables that Minghua Tuo brought out to entertain the distinguished guests, and his mouth never stopped.
The gentle and elegant elder Shui Jing looked at the angry Wang Yang with a smile, and said suspiciously: "Elder Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Yang was worried and shouted: "That's fine, Elder Yanggong is here today, I would like to ask everyone to comment."
After saying that, he glared at Ren Cangqiong angrily and shouted: "Ren Cangqiong, don't leave. I was just about to discuss that matter with you."
Ren Cangqiong had no intention of leaving, and since Wang Yang said so, he had no reason to retreat. He walked into the hall, bowed his hands and saluted several elders: "My subordinate, Ren Cangqiong, pays homage to all the elders."
When worshiping an elder, one must bow first. This is the rule, and the sky will not give in to others.
After the ceremony, everyone was a guest of Minghua Tuo's house, so Ren Cangqiong no longer had to be formal. At Minghua Tuo's greeting, he added a seat under Minghua Tuo and sat down.
Glancing at the aggressive Elder Wang Yang, Ren Cangqiong said calmly: "Elder Wang, you have reason not to speak loudly. If you want to teach me a lesson as a subordinate, please speak slowly and don't be in a hurry to get angry."
There were all elders present, but Ren Cangqiong acted carelessly and arrogantly, leaving a bad impression of disrespecting his superiors.
Although Ren Cangqiong didn't take Wang Yang seriously, there was no need to break the rules unless necessary.
Of course, if Wang Yang doesn't understand, he has to make a fuss. Ren Cangqiong has only one principle, if you offend me, I will repay you tenfold.
He took a slow sip of tea and let Cang Qiong smile calmly, waiting for Wang Yang to attack.
Wang Yang slapped the table: "Ren Cangqiong, my great-nephew just said a few stupid words. You don't need to act like a boss. You just beat him to the bottom and even took off the deacon's robe, right? How do you treat your subordinates like this?
, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of subordinates?”
"Haha, is there such a thing?" Elder Shui Jing asked curiously, not sure whether he really didn't know the inside story or was just fanning the flames.
"Elder Wang, you said that your great-nephew only said a few words. It seems that I only said a few words. Did he take off his deacon's robe himself?"
"You" Wang Yang was furious, "If you didn't threaten him with Tianxing Hall, would he take off his deacon's robe?"
The situation seemed tense. Wang Yang's face was full of anger, like a tiger that wanted to eat people. He was so aggressive that he would fight if he disagreed.
However, Ren Cangqiong was calm and asked calmly: "Elder Wang, I would like to ask, why can I threaten him with Tianxing Hall? If he is upright and has a clear conscience, how can Tianxing Hall threaten him? If he is not a traitor.
If he breaks the law and breaks the rules of Tian Pavilion, how can he be afraid that Tian Xing Tang will find him?"
"You...you use strong words to make sense"
"That's right." Ren Cangqiong said calmly. He didn't want to waste words with Wang Yang. Like Wang Yang, he was so protective of his calf that he was unreasonable, so there was no need to explain anything more.
"Ren Cangqiong, this matter is not over yet" Wang Yang gritted his teeth, "You are just a worshiper and disrespectful to so many of our elders here. I think you are tired of living."
Minghua Tuo's expression changed slightly: "Elder Wang, let's talk about what we have to say. Don't make nonsense. I don't think Cangqiong Enshrine is disrespectful to me as an elder."
Mu Tianya also laughed and said: "Yes, Elder Wang, don't let me get involved in your anger. I think this young priest is very interesting, haha."
Elder Shui Jing was obviously biased towards Wang Yang, and said with a faint smile: "No matter what, Elder Wang is an elder after all, and the sky is full of talents, but there are some rules that must be observed."
"Thank you Elder Shuijing for the reminder." Ren Cangqiong's voice was indifferent, "I dealt with Deacon Wang precisely because I knew that the rules of Tiange must be observed. Otherwise, I could just sit back and ignore him. He exploited the disciples and children below.
, Abuse of power has damaged the reputation of Baicaotang. Before I entered Baicaotang, I had always heard that Baicaotang was insincere and had high standards. What I did was precisely to safeguard this incorruptible area.
The signboard is to maintain the reputation of Baicaotang so that the outside world will not underestimate Baicaotang because of the black sheep."
The impassioned speech made Elder De Shui Jing's elegant face turn red. He had been fanning the flames just now, but unexpectedly Ren Cangqiong saw his intention.
Wang Yang on the side became even more angry: "Who do you think is the black sheep?"
"Okay." Elder Yanggong, whose beard and hair were all white, suddenly shouted, "How is it appropriate to make such a scene?"
Wang Yang sat down immediately. In front of Elder Yanggong, he did not dare to show his teeth. In terms of strength and qualifications, he was incomparable to Elder Yanggong.
Elder Zhu San, on the other hand, chuckled, dug his big fingers into his ears a few times, and said with a smile: "I say Elder Wang, please don't be so angry. Young people always have some limelight. When you were young, didn't you
Isn’t there a time when we are in great shape? We must be tolerant towards young people.”
"Fat Zhu, you put it lightly, if this happens to you..." Wang Yang was unhappy.
Zhu San said slowly: "If this happens to me, I'll slap that grandnephew to death. How can you embarrass me if you don't know how to behave?"
Wang Yang's expression changed again, and he stared at Zhu San, his eyes as fierce as a tiger's.
Mu Tianya smiled and came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, the alchemy master meeting hasn't even started yet, but our own people are starting to fight. Internal strife is unacceptable."
Elder Yanggong, who was highly respected, said: "Xiao Mu is right, don't let the dog bite the dog. This matter has been revealed. If the alchemy master meeting can't produce results this time, everyone will lose face. Everyone expressed their feelings.
A sign of determination. Especially Hua Tuo, you, the new elder, do you have any ideas?"
Elder Yanggong is very senior, and when it comes to speaking, he is a bit clinging to his elders. But he is not a person who uses his big butt to oppress others.
Ming Huatuo said: "I will definitely try my best to get the ideal results."
Elder Yanggong waved his hand impatiently: "These are all official articles and empty talk. Just tell me directly, how many places are you sure you will get in terms of personal results in this alchemy meeting? You can't be at the bottom, right?
?”
To be honest, these five people came here because they were worried that the new elder Minghua Tuo would not be strong enough and his personal performance would be at the bottom, which would seriously hinder everyone.
There are six major sects, and each sect sends six elder-level alchemists to compete.
It is impossible for other sects to send new elders like Ming Hua Tuo. Baicao Hall has no choice. The other elders are not enthusiastic and do not want to contribute. Ming Hua Tuo volunteered, so he could only reluctantly let him take over.
Wang Yang also had a lot of opinions about Minghua Tuo. The reason was naturally that Minghua Tuo and Ren Cangqiong were in an awkward relationship. When Elder Yanggong asked, he couldn't help but added jealousy: "Yes, Hua Tuo, you can't delay Tui."
.If you finish last, our efforts will be in vain."
Elder Shui Jing chuckled and said: "After all, Hua Tuo can only be promoted to elder for a few months, so it is reasonable for everyone to be worried."
If it was Elder Yanggong who asked, it would be natural. Minghua Tuo would not be angry. Why are you Wang Yang and Taoist Shui Jing pretending to be big-tailed wolves?
No matter what happens, it's not your turn to point out the astronomy website?
Feeling angry, he said coldly: "Elder Wang and Elder Shui Jing seem to believe that someone I know must be inferior to you in personal ranking?"
Wang Yang sneered: "Then you think you can surpass us senior elders?"
When it comes to this matter, it is no longer a simple quarrel, but involves a struggle for qualifications and status. Minghua Tuo refused to give in: "I dare not tell others. Since you, Elder Wang, look down on me, I will
Dare I say, my ranking is definitely not lower than yours, Elder Wang."
"It costs nothing to speak big words," Wang Yang sneered repeatedly, "Do you dare to make a bet?"
"Let's just gamble. Am I afraid that you won't succeed?" Minghua Tuo has been unrecognized and marginalized since he was promoted to elder. He was also filled with anger and took the opportunity to burst out.
Since you, Wang Yang, want to be the first to suppress me, then I will use you as a stepping stone and completely kill the spirit of your Wang.
(Forget it, don’t bargain. Regardless of whether it reaches 300 votes or not, it’s still the third update. Haha, I hope everyone will continue to support Lao Niu.)
