When Ye Xiaotian saw Bai Xiaoxiao appear, he knew that Yang Yinglong had been sending people to monitor his actions. In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Bai Xiaoxiao to Yang Yinglong's residence.
Yang Yinglong's residence is located in a dense jungle outside the village. There are more than a dozen tents here. Yang Yinglong's living and sleeping tent is the largest, and the tent is extraordinarily luxurious. Naturally, he met Ye Xiaotian here.
Yang Yinglong looked at Ye Xiaotian and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the Venerable received you and didn't let you back until evening. He really favors you. How about it, what did you talk about?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "When I meet the Venerable for the first time, of course I can't take the liberty to ask who he is going to pass on to, so basically he is talking and I am listening."
Yang Yinglong nodded and said: "It should be so, but... there is always something to talk about in small talk, let's listen to it."
Just as Ye Xiaotian wanted to make a selective confession to him, his mind suddenly moved, and he told Yang Yinglong the content of his meeting and conversation with the Venerable, even the Venerable knew how to read minds and knew that Yang Yinglong had ulterior motives. .
When Ye Xiaotian mentioned the Venerable's evaluation of Yang Yinglong, seeing Yang Yinglong's unsurprised expression, he knew that he had made the right bet. Who is Yang Yinglong? Why do you trust him so much? Ye Xiaotian believed in a sentence on the stage: "The treacherous must be suspicious!"
Yang Yinglong is good at using his brains, so he will not trust others rashly. Ye Xiaotian doesn't know how he can judge whether he is telling the truth or a lie, maybe there is some "lie detector Gu" in this world, this place is messy and full of surprises, who knows, Yang Yinglong must be able to distinguish the truth of what he said anyway Therefore, Ye Xiaotian did not hide anything.
Yang Yinglong was very satisfied with Ye Xiaotian's frankness. He heard Ye Xiaotian tell it from the beginning to the end, nodded slightly and said: "When I was young, I heard people talk about the strange art of Gu Dao, and I once mentioned Heart Gu. The Gu insects that train Heart Gu are extremely difficult. It is extremely difficult to find, and it is extremely difficult to practice, one must carefully raise the Gu insects of the heart Gu from childhood, and only after they are trained can the human and Gu become one, and use the Gu power to probe other people's minds.
Once this heart gu is practiced, it has no other power except for the ability to penetrate people's hearts, so few people do such thankless things, but they don't think that the Venerable actually practiced the heart gu and became... ah ! Hehe, haha, hahaha..."
Yang Yinglong suddenly exclaimed, as if he had figured something out, and then laughed out loud, Ye Xiaotian didn't understand why, so he looked at him strangely, Yang Yinglong laughed for a while, and then said to Ye Xiaotian: "You don't know, there used to be a Gu God Waiter, passed on the inheritance of Gu God to a woodcutter."
Ye Xiaotian let out a soft "ah" and said, "This... I've heard Miss Zhan mention it before."
Yang Yinglong smiled and said: "Then did she say that the woodcutter is the servant of this Gu God?"
Ye Xiaotian was really taken aback, that lucky woodcutter is this servant of Gu God? Thinking of the situation when he saw the servant of the Gu God today, the Venerable had a graceful bearing and elegant conversation, and he really couldn't connect with a firewood chopping servant in a temple.
Yang Yinglong said: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, rumors spread that he was the illegitimate son of the previous Gu God attendant, but this matter was just speculation without any real evidence. Now it seems that he really It is the son of the previous Gu God attendant."
Ye Xiaotian was puzzled and said: "How can you see that?"
Yang Yinglong said: "You have to know that it is extremely difficult to practice the heart gu. It is not an easy task just to find and search for the insects who practice the heart gu. Another thing is that the heart gu has to be practiced from a young age. If this Gu God attendant is not the son of the previous Gu God attendant, he is just a small child who is only a woodcutter in the temple after he grows up, and his family background can be imagined, who will help him exhaust his energy to search for Gu insects who practice heart Gu? Who taught him to practice mind Gu
After the mind gu is practiced, it has no other use except to understand people's hearts. Even if ordinary people have the opportunity to practice Gu, they will only choose to cure diseases or save people or kill invisible Gu. What is the practice of heart Gu? If you have practiced the heart voodoo, I will suddenly kill you, can you rely on the heart voodoo to save yourself? "
Ye Xiaotian suddenly said: "So, only if this venerable is the illegitimate son of the previous venerable, and the previous venerable decided to pass on the seat to his son very early on, will he do everything he can to help him find the heart voodoo. Worm, and taught him to practice since he was a child, because the previous venerable knew very well that his son will rule the crowd when he grows up, and only those who are in the upper class, this ability to read people's hearts will be of great use to him .”
Yang Yinglong nodded with a smile and said, "Children can be taught!" At this point, Yang Yinglong curled his lips slightly, and said contemptuously: "Designed by the Gu God? Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost! The succession of the big ones is really decided by the Venerable!"
Yang Yinglong thought for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Although I really want to have the ability to know what other people are thinking, but as His Holiness said, if other people just stand in front of you and you can know what they think, then It was indeed a very painful thing. I finally understood why he traveled all over the world and why he lived alone.
Hehe, it turned out that he spent thirty years of hard training, not to study more advanced Gu techniques, but to 'self-abolish martial arts', pitiful! Alas! If the previous venerable knew his painstaking efforts and caused his son to suffer all his life, he must regret it a lot, right? "
Ye Xiaotian said: "He already knows the purpose of you sending me there, I can't possibly hear anything from him, let alone give him advice. Lord Chieftain, do you think..."
Yang Yinglong said indifferently: "Actually, he has long been aware of my purpose, and he is also very clear about my support for Elder Ge Gewo. I let you go, just want to know who he really likes, so that he can be targeted. It's nothing if he sees it through. He Want to warn me through you? A joke! Am I, Yang Yinglong, a person who retreats in the face of difficulties? I am determined to win this position of venerable! It is best if he is willing to hand over the position honestly. If you want to fight against me, then Just try it!"
Ye Xiaotian said suspiciously: "I have seen Sister Sun's voodoo technique before, it is really shocking, as the number one person of the voodoo god sect, the venerable master must have a more advanced voodoo technique, you are not afraid of him using voodoo techniques to deal with it." you?"
Yang Yinglong stared at Ye Xiaotian for a long time, then smiled lightly, and said: "It's okay to tell you this secret, Gu art is indeed very powerful, but it is not invincible, in some respects it is even inferior to arsenic, at least arsenic cannot be prevented, and Gu Otherwise.
Gu is a kind of poisonous insect. Since it is an insect, there are always some things that can counteract it. Although these things are rare, they are not unique. If they are taken from childhood, Gu will not be able to catch the body. The four chieftain families have been passed down for thousands of years, and each has its own method to protect the real power figures of the family. "
Only then did Ye Xiaotian understand, Yang Yinglong paced up and down on the precious Persian carpet with his hands behind his back, after a long time, he raised his head and said to Ye Xiaotian: "You have done a good job, it seems that His Holiness will see you again , you just need to chat with him according to his wishes, as for the matter of making suggestions, there is no need to mention it."
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly to himself, Yang Yinglong spared no effort to buy him, originally to let him be an insider, but he failed too much as an insider, his identity was exposed the first time he made a move, and Yang Yinglong didn't stop, now it is clearly Treat him as a microphone or a tool for demonstrations.
Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to agree. When Ye Xiaotian left, Yang Yinglong frowned and muttered to himself: "Gedwa? Why did he mention Godwa? Isn't the person he trusts the most, Ge Mao? Is this Godewa his preferred successor
No, since he knew that I had contact with Ye Xiaotian, how could he possibly reveal the news to him? However, among the elders, there are only three people who are favored by everyone. If the person he prefers is Ge Mao, why would he send him so far away to sit in the township? True or false, false or true, this old guy must be casting doubts, but... Who is the person he really chose? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out..."
※※※
When Ye Xiaotian returned to the village, Zhan Ning'er was hugging Gedold's son, walking side by side with Gedold's wife, talking while walking, seeing Ye Xiaotian, Zhan Ning'er didn't hug his godson, Instead, he handed it over to the wife of Geduolao, who walked straight to Ye Xiaotian.
Zhan Ning'er glanced at the direction behind Ye Xiaotian, frowned, and said, "Go to see Yang Yinglong?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly: "As soon as I landed, I was 'invited' away by Yang Yinglong's men."
Zhan Ning'er sneered and said, "Yang Yinglong's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. If the Venerable God Attendant is controlled by him again, I'm afraid he will make more progress. No wonder Grandpa asked me to come."
Ye Xiaotian teased: "Why did you come here? I saw you wandering around all day, but you didn't do anything."
Zhan Ning'er said: "What do I need to do? My coming here shows the attitude of the An family. Whether it is the Venerable or the Eight Great Elders, as long as the Gu God Sect is to develop well, we must carefully consider our An family's attitude."
Ye Xiaotian shook his head, he didn't believe that the An family would entrust such an important matter to a little girl like Zhan Ning'er, could it be because the An family was too confident, or didn't care much about the power of the Gu God Sect? After witnessing the tactics of the Venerable and Yang Yinglong one after another, Ye Xiaotian didn't think that he could guess the thoughts of these big men easily.
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Who is your family supporting? Gegewo is definitely not there. Could it be Godwa?"
Zhan Ning'er shook her head, and said: "Among the eight elders, in terms of seniority, status, and power, Gegewo, Gemao, and Gedewa are the most. The candidates for future venerables are probably from these three elders. Among the three, the ones who settled down with us and were friendly with Zhan’s family were Ge Mao and Godewa. Godewa has no ambitions, and his eyes are only on this one-third of an acre of land, so he is not a suitable candidate. , what we value is Gemao."
When Zhan Ning'er said this, she paused for a moment, and said, "Yang Yinglong came to you, probably to ask what you said to the Venerable, right? Did you tell him?"
Ye Xiaotian spread his hands and said: "Is it okay if you don't say anything? Yang Yinglong is sharpening his knife, if my little fish is disobedient, I'm still the meat on his chopping board?"
Zhan Ning'er said contemptuously: "Spineless!"
Ye Xiaotian sighed, and said: "Girl, I don't have a chieftain king as a backer, so I can only choose someone who understands current affairs as a hero."
