The bells of Qing Mingtian were like the call of ancient times, turning into a big hand stretching out to the sky, firmly grasping the ten thousand miles of foundation, and making the climber pause slightly and turn to look at the person leading the way.
The leading monk stood solemnly, saluted, and respectfully chanted: "God bless Mr. Pei!"
After the leader saluted, he turned around and said, "The ringing of the Qingming Bell means that someone from the clan has questioned the family's decision and wants to ask the clan elders."
Then, his eyes narrowed.
Look at the tall monk in robes.
That man certainly has an extraordinary bearing.
A face that is even more magnificent, like a concubine and fairy stepping into the world.
Isn't it Xu Sanniang who has not returned for a long time?
Xu Sanniang said as if she understood this matter well: "Yes, today I will go to court with my mother and get back everything in my Xu family!"
"Lead the way."
The monk who was leading the way was surprised, and while sighing at Sanniang's courage, he didn't say much and continued to lead the way.
He had seen the methods of this family member, who was as domineering as Pei Shaoqi and was still easily subdued, and even half of his gold teeth were broken into pieces.
He is just a guide, and the rights and wrongs in the family have nothing to do with him. He doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, let alone waste words.
It is impossible to say that there are no waves in my heart, but more of it is the novelty of such a grand event. I am excited to see someone who dares to stand up and challenge the authority of the family. Even if he is a member of the family, he is full of longing for this industry.
, I hope Xu Sanniang can succeed, and hope that the family can regain its dignity.
Just like the stories he had heard before, no monk who dared to ring the Qingming Bell and hold the elders accountable had never succeeded.
Either he died on the road, he didn't get the results he wanted and left angrily, or he was thrown into the clan's Youtian prison and faced the wall to think about his mistakes.
"she?"
The guide shook his head slightly.
He had heard the story of Xu Hongshang and knew about such a cousin with a foreign surname.
It was said that Xu Hongshang's cultivation level at that time was comparable to that of Foundation Establishment. Unexpectedly, after so many years, even the monks of Shao's generation were no longer Xu Hongshang's enemies. However, he knew that monks had their limits.
In such a short period of time, even if Xu Hongshang is a genius and a natural Taoist body, it is impossible to shake the clan elders.
Therefore, his eyes couldn't help but move to the tall figure who had been following Xu Hongshang.
Maybe this is the strong foreign aid Xu Sanniang is looking for.
Thinking of this, the monk who led the way smiled brightly and speculated: "I don't know which family he belongs to, and I don't know how high-end the boy is."
"Fellow Taoist, are you talking to me?"
"No... uh, I mean, Taoist friend is really a young talent and a very courageous person!"
"juvenile?"
"I?"
Tu Shanjun pointed at himself and smiled.
It's been a long time since an old guy like him has been told that he looks like a teenager.
"Are you also a monk of the Pei family?"
The leading monk immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Of course, my name is Pei Shaoxi."
A large family like the Pei family must have seniority divisions. However, the clan is huge and the seniority ranking is very messy, like a huge ball of yarn kneaded up, with no beginning or end visible.
Therefore, the clan elders discussed and came up with a way to determine the name based on talent. At least there was no big mistake in this arrangement.
Just like Pei Shaoxi said, he is a direct descendant of the Pei family from the Eight Classics.
In terms of pure talent, he can be ranked in the same generation as Pei Shaoqi.
Talking hard, the mountain road has been exhausted.
What you see in front of you is a tall arch that reaches up to the sky.
inside the door,
The mountains in the mountains are like flowing waves.
There was a vibration.
The clouds and mist beneath my feet quickly rose.
It's like the sky has opened its strong chest.
In a trance, I came to ‘God’ without realizing it.
The top of the sky is a huge Yaotai, with a bridge connecting the sky hanging in the middle, called "Eternal Life". Under the bridge, blue waves and clouds gather to form a hazy ground, while on the other side, a looming green bell occupies the distant sky.
Under the sky, there are three distinguished seats.
The middle seat is surrounded by nine.
And the lower seats continue to fill the small banyao terrace.
"Bang!"
Shocking sound.
On the pool platform, an old man wearing a green gold robe stood up and stepped onto the steps, walked to the stone wall, recited the ancestral precepts, took three pillars of high incense, and placed them in the cauldron in front of him.
Along with the curls of green smoke, a shadow walked out of it.
He softly told the whole story about this bronze bell inquiry.
The phantom's eyes were dull, even if it was a senior expert, it was just a shadow.
Xuying said frankly that in order to prevent the family disciples from being controlled by the clan in the future, all the descendants of the Pei family can start a ceremony to ask the blue sky under the witness of his Taoist weapon Qing Ming Zhong.
"bye!"
"Goodbye!"
"..."
"God bless Mr. Pei."
…
Until the tedious ceremony was over, the three elders took their seats, the nine judges took their seats, and those direct descendants of the clan who were able to come here to participate An Ran.
The old man in the lapis lazuli robe moved with a divine light like an abyss of stars, and said: "I, Pei Wanming, the chief elder of the clan, is in charge of this meeting."
"The co-discussors are Pei Mingru and Pei Qishun."
The middle-aged monk in black robe nodded slightly.
Another old man wearing a green robe blinked his eyes as if he was a bit drowsy.
"Pei family Xu Hongshang, why do you want to start a clan discussion!"
Xu Sanniang walked straight across the Changsheng Bridge, came to the opposite corner of the Yaotai, and said calmly: "Under the witness of the ancestors' Taoist tools, retrieve my Xu family's spiritual sword, my father's remains, inheritance, and the land deed of my Xu family's ancestral home.
.”
The great elder did not answer directly, but looked at the middle-aged man in black robe.
The middle-aged elegant monk nodded slightly.
He always felt that this originally belonged to Xu Xuan and Xu Hongshang should be allowed to take it back.
However, it was not the ancestral home of the Xu family, but a part of the Pei family's ancestral land, and Xu Hongshang could not be taken away. As an insider, there were too many things that he could not say about Xu Xuan's affairs back then.
"I feel that since it belongs to the Xu family, it should be taken away by the Xu family."
Pei Qishun, who seemed a little dim-sighted, said.
"What do you think?"
"Elders are not allowed!"
Among the nine, a young monk spoke out.
"oh?"
"Forty-nine years ago, Xu Hongshang made an agreement with the Pei Xu family. After nine years, he would come to the clan to fulfill the appointment. If the agreement was not fulfilled, the spirit sword and all the Xu family's belongings would be donated to the clan for free. Now many years have passed, and Xu Hongshang has not only failed to fulfill the agreement, but also
And evading the family’s accountability.”
"I have a photocopy of the contract here, and Pei Xu as witness."
"The witnesses and physical evidence are all there."
"I think Xu Hongshang should be held accountable!"
If the young man wanted to say anything else, the great elder on the high seat waved his hand slightly and said, "Please, Mrs. Pei Xu."
Mrs. Pei Xu walked to the other corner of Yaotai.
This time, it really turned into a lawsuit, and the lawsuit was against his own mother.
No matter what the cause and effect is, or what the inside story is.
Those who are involved in lawsuits with their biological parents will be habitually labeled as "unfilial" and cannot be removed.
When Mrs. Pei Xu actually stood opposite her, Sanniang felt so sad that she could not express it in words.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you have to control me to feel at ease?"
Pei Xu was stunned and said sadly: "Isn't everything I did for your own good? Pei Yeyuan is the genius of the family and the candidate of the sect. Being able to marry such a genius is a perfect match both emotionally and rationally."
A great thing!"
"You know how much I have worked hard for you."
Sanniang stared coldly at Pei Xu, who was still acting. She was completely disappointed with this mother-in-law.
So he said: "I want to separate the family."
"From now on, the Xu family is the Xu family, and the Pei family is the Pei family."
"All relevant contracts signed with Pei Xu must be reconsidered."
Sanniang continued: "I had no choice but to sign the contract because my personal safety was threatened, so I had to put my life first. But after I signed, Mrs. Pei still prevented me from leaving and tried to control me again.
Get up, how can a contract under such circumstances be counted!"
The young man stood up and shouted: "You are talking nonsense."
"As a party to the contract, the clan has reason to send monks to determine your location and safety."
"And as far as I know, you did not encounter any obstruction when you left Tianji City. The guest of the Jiwei clan did not take action against you at all. You still dare to talk nonsense here."
"Who are you?"
The young man raised his hands and said, "Pei Yezheng."
"Pei Si's brother?"
"Exactly!"
Xu Sanniang's chest was rising and falling.
When they were painting the boat, Pei Si had some issues with her.
But Pei Si at least had the intention to help, so she wanted to keep her feelings, so she suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly: "Yes!"
"Second Elder Pei Wanhong once blocked me."
Wow!
There was an uproar.
Not to mention those direct descendants watching the show, even the three elders in the high seat looked at each other.
It seems that he wants to see the truth or falsehood of this matter from the other party's eyes.
However, none of them saw what they wanted. The three of them had no idea that there was such a thing, and that Pei Wanhong took action on his own without convening a meeting of clan elders.
"Isn't that right? Since it was the second elder who took action, with the strength of the second elder..."
Someone in the direct seat murmured softly.
"I heard that the second elder has been in seclusion for a long time."
"Are you lying?"
"I think Xu Hongshang is also good at making up stories, and it just so happens that the second elder is in retreat, so we can't let the elder come to confront her, so she makes nonsense."
"yes."
"If the elder really took action, there would be no reason for her to leave."
"..."
"quiet!"
"Do you know about this?"
The great elder looked at the middle-aged man in black robes and the old monk with white hair and white beard.
Both of them shook their heads.
"There is no physical evidence, and Elder Pei Wanhong is in seclusion. What you said cannot be verified."
The great elder said in a deep voice.
Pei Yezheng sneered and said, "Even if you lie, you should have a smooth way."
"With the strength of the second elder, let alone you now, even if you are a venerable person, you still have to bow your head in front of the second elder."
"Xu Hongshang, you are dizzy!"
"Who says she has no witnesses?"
A somewhat hoarse voice sounded in the air.
The monk in black and red robes standing next to Xu Sanniang took off his hood and said, "I am the witness!"
