The first thousand one hundred and seventy-seventh chapter gifts
Da Shou fell to his knees. Da Gu and Gan Bo immediately approached and tried to help him up. Master Hong raised his hand: "Da Gu, let him kneel for a while."
"Um?"
"Tashou needs to think about it for himself and let him calm down."
After saying that, Mr. Hong walked out of the living room, but seeing his staggering steps, Lin Zichen hurriedly helped him.
Lin Zichen secretly thought, with Master Hong's strength, he shouldn't be so weak even if he has exhausted his energy. How could it be... that even walking is a bit laborious?
"Da Gu, take me around the valley." Master Hong said.
"Yes, ancestor!"
Afterwards, several people accompanied Mr. Hong out and walked slowly in the valley of the Red Witch Clan. Mr. Hong looked around and said with a smile: "Haha, I have actually been to the Red Witch Clan several times in the past few years. The changes have changed."
Not big, Dagu, this is your responsibility."
"What my ancestor said is that I have indeed been afraid to take steps in the past few years. Speaking of which... I just stick to the old rules."
Master Hong waved his hand and smiled after hearing this: "It's not that we just stick to the old rules, but the main reason is that our development is limited. You see, Dashou brought his people to the city, and many things have changed."
Dagu nodded: "Ancestor is right, but...actually I have been thinking about whether it is right to stick to the traditions of our Wu clan, or to bravely change and let the clansmen experience a new life.
of."
"Haha, Dagu, what do you think?"
"I don't know. This is why I haven't dared to change these years. In fact, this kid Dashou has done a good job. He brought his people to the city. Many people even quickly adapted to the provincial capital. Now the economy is also
It's very generous, but...but I always feel like this is subverting tradition."
Hearing this, Master Hong smiled: "Haha, actually you already have the answer, why bother asking me again?"
"Dagugu is stupid, please give me an explanation, ancestor," Dagong said with his fists clasped.
"Da Gu, we naturally have to stick to the tradition of the Wu Clan, otherwise one day we will inadvertently discover that the Wu Clan has long since disappeared. However... this does not mean that we cling to tradition and exclude everything.
"
Dagu thought for a while: "The ancestor meant that we should still innovate."
"It is better to say innovation than integration. China has developed so far. Whether it is science and technology, economy, or some advanced ideas, it has made people progress. If we don't integrate and stick to the original life in the mountains, then what will happen?
What's the difference between him and a savage?"
Lingpo nodded and said: "What the ancestor said is that if we really become savages, I am afraid that we will really have to cut off contact with the outside world and rely on the mountain to live on. At that time, if the official government controls the Longxue Mountain Witch Clan
If this part is developed, I’m afraid we won’t be able to survive.”
"Yes, Dagu, it's time to consider letting the clan members see the outside world. In the past few years, except for Lingpo who occasionally goes to Hongyu Tower, and Li Zhifei, the affairs elder, I'm afraid no one goes to the provincial capital often, right?
" Mr. Hong said.
Dagu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It was indeed the case. In fact, including him as a witch Zhu, the Red Witch Clan was basically relatively closed-off. Not only did they not have much contact with the outside world, they even had some resistance to the outside world.
However, Master Hong's understanding of the Red Witch Clan was so detailed that Da Gu felt deep in his heart that over the years... the ancestor has really paid close attention to them.
"Da Gu understands, ancestor, actually... I really hope Da Shou can take over all this. When it comes to the connection with the provincial capital, I am not even as good as Ling Po."
Mr. Hong smiled: "Haha, how do you know if it works if you don't try? Dagu, if you resist from the bottom of your heart, it will naturally be difficult. Although Dashou has some external experience, he can tell from what happened this time. He is still too young, prone to impulsiveness, and does not consider the problem comprehensively enough. As an uncle, you should at least stabilize the country for him, what do you think?"
Da Gu immediately understood what Hong Ye meant. Although Da Shou was still kneeling in the living room at this time, which could be regarded as Hong Ye's punishment, Hong Ye still recognized Da Shou in his heart, but now he still needs some experience.
"Ancestor, according to your opinion, what should be the future of the Qinghong Witch Clan?"
"Since we have all come together today, why bother dividing the Green and Red Witch Clan? If you don't have any objections, I think... it's time for the Witch Clan to merge again."
As soon as Mr. Hong said this, everyone showed expressions of surprise. After all, the Wu clan people still do not want civil war and long for peace, especially those senior clan members who hope that they can live to see the merger of the Wu clan.
But after saying this, Mr. Hong coughed a few times, and immediately his legs went limp. If Lin Zichen hadn't hugged him, he would have fallen directly to the ground.
"Ancestor..." Several people shouted nervously at the same time.
"Master Hong! How are you," Lin Zichen said, turning to look at the people on the side, "Elder Li, Master Hong needs to rest soon, call my people!"
"Understood, Mr. Lin!" After Li Zhifei said this, he immediately went to notify Sang Tianlei and others.
Afterwards, Dagu ordered people to quickly arrange the room and let Mr. Hong enter the room to rest. The group of people followed him in and looked at Mr. Hong with concern.
Lin Zichen took Hong Ye's pulse immediately, but to his surprise, Hong Ye's pulse was so weak that it was even difficult to take the Pulse Nourishing Pill to nurse it back to health.
"Master Hong, I'm afraid Zichen has to perform internal adjustments for you. Your meridians are very weak now, and there is no other way."
Lin Zichen sighed and said.
However, Master Hong smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved: "Master Lin, there is no need, I... am already nearly 160 years old, haha, I don't want to trouble Master Lin anymore..."
"Ancestor..." Lingpo said hurriedly, "Ancestor, you are only temporarily weak, why do you say this? Let Master Lin help you adjust your breathing."
Lin Zichen nodded, then looked at Shen Si Yao and said, "Siyao, you are better at acupuncture and medicine preparation. These methods are gentler than elixirs. What can you do?"
After hearing this, Shen Si Yao stepped forward to take Hong Ye's pulse, but after feeling the pulse, she showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"Siyao, what's wrong?"
"Senior brother, Master Hong is in a very weak state now. If he were not a warrior, Siyao could still take medicine to maintain his health, but the weakness of the meridians in Master Hong's body has affected all the organs in the body, so..."
Lin Zichen couldn't help but frowned and whispered: "Siyao, what do you mean... the oil is exhausted?"
When he said this, Lin Zichen felt his heart tremble, it was really unpleasant.
Shen Si Yao looked at the people next to her, then very carefully avoided everyone's eyes, gave Lin Zichen a affirmative look, and nodded slightly.
Lin Zichen took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. At this moment, he felt that his mind had gone blank and he didn't know what else he could do.
Immediately looking at Mr. Hong, Lin Zichen felt a sadness in his heart. When he saw Mr. Hong in Hongbang, the old man's face was rosy. He looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, but he didn't know that he was already one hundred and sixty years old.
This is simply incredible.
But now Mr. Hong's cheeks are sunken, his mouth is a bit deflated, and his wrinkled eyelids can hardly show a trace of vitality. Perhaps this so-called exhaustion is because he has suppressed the power of the totem and the alchemy with all his strength.
My whole life has been spent like this.
Lin Zichen can be sure that if it hadn't been for this matter, Hong Ye would have lived for at least several decades, and if he made a breakthrough in martial arts, his life span would be unlimited. But now...
Mr. Hong opened his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Zichen, saying: "Mr. Lin, I have already said that there is no need to trouble Mr. Lin anymore. You can go out. I have something to talk to Mr. Lin alone."
Although Mr. Hong's words were weak, they were very serious. Dagu turned around and walked out first, as did everyone else.
Lin Zichen winked at Chen Weilong and Sang Tianlei, and they walked out of the room.
"Master Hong, I don't know...what do you have to say to me?"
Lin Zichen's tone was very gentle. After all, he was facing an old man and senior who was about to reach the end of his life.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, I understand that my time has come..."
"This... Mr. Hong, don't say that. You were just exhausted just now. Zichen will find a way."
Hearing this, Mr. Hong shook his head slowly and smiled: "Haha, I know my body naturally. Mr. Lin, I have a request. I wonder if Mr. Lin can agree to it."
"Master Hong, please, if Zichen can do it, he will definitely not refuse." Lin Zichen nodded vigorously and said.
"Of course it's not difficult to do it, Mr. Lin. I hope... you can be a friend of the Wu clan, do you understand?"
As he spoke, Mr. Hong stretched out a hand. This hand was already full of wrinkles, and the blood vessels were completely attached to the skin. It looked like it had no vitality at all.
Looking at that old hand, Lin Zichen couldn't help but feel sad. He immediately reached out and held Master Hong's hand, and nodded: "I have always been a friend of the Wu clan."
"Haha, my friend is in trouble... I hope Mr. Lin can help me."
"It's natural. If someone makes trouble for the Witch Clan, Zichen will be the first to stand up!"
Hearing these words, Mr. Hong smiled knowingly and nodded: "Haha, I can trust Mr. Lin's words, and I won't ask for these words from Mr. Lin in vain. I have a gift... I want to give to Mr. Lin.
."
"A gift?" Lin Zichen was stunned and said.
Mr. Hong nodded: "Yes, but this gift... is also the second thing I ask Mr. Lin."
Lin Zichen really couldn't understand what he was hearing, and said, "Is this the second thing you asked me for when you gave me a gift?"
"Haha, yes, this gift must be given to Mr. Lin. In the hands of others, it is just an object, but in the hands of Mr. Lin... his true face can be revealed!"
Lin Zichen thought for a while, and seemed not to understand what Master Hong meant, but in the end he nodded: "Okay, Master Hong, as I said before, as long as Zichen can do it, he will do it according to your instructions."
Mr. Hong was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Actually, this second thing is really difficult."
Seeing Master Hong's slightly mysterious smile, Lin Zichen immediately moved his eyes to Master Hong's slowly moving hand, and saw his hand reaching into his clothes and taking out a purple wooden box.
