Nightwatcher

Terrible coercion descended from the sky, covering everyone's heads. Even Lina lowered her head, trembling, not daring to speak.

The little white fox curled up in Mu Nanzhi's arms, its fluffy body trembling.

Mu Nanzhi frowned repeatedly, feeling uncomfortable, and hid behind Xu Qi'an sideways. .

Such strong pressure Xu Qi'an frowned. If I remember correctly, Lina said that her father was a top-ranking third-rank figure in the Battle of Shanhaiguan twenty years ago.

Xu Qi'an, who pulled out the eight magic nails, is now a third-rank master. In terms of realm, he is not much different from Lina's father, but in a real fight, his chances of winning are even greater.

"Have you hidden your breath?"

Long Tu looked at Xu Qi'an.

He couldn't sense the slightest energy fluctuation from the young man in front of him, and what was even more bizarre was that there was no body-protecting divine light on this young man - copper skin and iron bones.

The young man in front of him looked like an ordinary person, but how could an ordinary person resist his pressure?

"I've met Patriarch Longtu."

Xu Qi'an didn't understand Nanjiang dialect at all, until Longtu looked over, he clasped his fists and said:

"I'm Lingyin's elder brother. I hope Patriarch Longtu can accommodate you in this matter."

He is speaking Dafengguan dialect, so don’t worry that the clan leader whose muscles are more exaggerated than King Kong will not understand, because even Lina and the clan’s elites (patrollers) can speak Dafengguan dialect, there’s no reason the clan leader wouldn’t .

Long Tu took a deep look at Xu Qi'an, subdued his terrifying coercion, and his voice was full of majesty:

"Lina, you brought her back because you wanted me and the elders to recognize her.

"Then do business as usual and call the elders to discuss the matter."

Although Lina has been smart since she was a child, she is also headstrong, doing whatever she thinks of, and rarely thinking about the consequences.

For her accepting a girl from the Central Plains as an apprentice, Longtu was furious, but he didn't find it surprising or absurd.

Long Tu glanced at Xu Lingyin, then turned and walked out.

"Father, go yourself." Lina said happily.

Without looking back, Long Tu continued to walk forward, saying in a deep voice:

"I'm going to the Heavenly Gu Department later, and the Heavenly Gu Granny sent a letter to inform me.

"But before that, deal with your problems."

After speaking, the man just walked out of the yard.

"Father, I'll go with you." Lina yelled, summoned a female slave to entertain Xu Qi'an and the others, and chased after her.

Along the way, most of the young and middle-aged men of the Force Gu Department are not in the base camp. They should be out hunting. As long as you send a troop to avoid the peripheral eyeliners and directly raid here, you can destroy the strength Gu Department's lair in a short time. "Arranging troops in formation" in my heart.

But soon he found himself thinking too much, because there was no point in doing so.

The Young and Strong faction is not in the base camp, so even if it is destroyed here, it will not be able to deal a heavy blow to the Power Gu Department, and according to what I saw on the plain just now, all the members of the Power Gu Department are soldiers, even the old women can walk like flying, flying over the roof and walls, they are not left to be slaughtered Old and weak women and children.

Another point, the Power Gu Department seems to be very poor, not to mention that the house is bare, and there is nothing valuable anyway, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed.

Not long after, Xu Qi'an moved his ears and heard hurried footsteps.

He took a sip of old tea that was obviously sold from the Central Plains, put down the porcelain cup, and said with a smile:

"Lina is back."

After the words fell, Lina came back angrily, her clothes became tattered, as if she had just fought.

"Master, your clothes are torn."

Xu Lingyin pointed at her skirt, as if she had made a big discovery.

"I just had a fight with the elders."

Lina pinched her waist, her anger still lingering.

She took Xu Qi'an and others out of the big courtyard, and walked down the spacious and flat road to the open space outside the building complex.

Xu Qi'an glanced over and found that nearly a hundred people had gathered here.

They formed a circle, there were six chairs in the circle, and six old men sat on the chairs.

Longtu didn't sit down, but stood in the circle with his arms crossed, his tall body standing proudly.

Xu Qi'an used his toes to think and knew that these six old men were the elders of the Power Gu Department, this was different from what he had imagined, originally in Xu Qi'an's mind, the image of the elders should be one with a cane and white hair.

They were already dying, and their vitality and blood were declining, but they had high prestige in their respective ethnic groups.

At the same time, they are also synonymous with decay and stubbornness.

But today, the elders of the Power Gu Department broke Xu Qi'an's inherent image of "elders".

They are indeed full of gray hair, but they are not old, they have muscles comparable to bodybuilders, and they are as vigorous as young people.

Seeing Lina coming with a stranger, an elder sneered and said:

"Why are you running away? I beat you to the ground and fled before I could use my full strength just now."

Lina brows upside down:

"Bah, I saw that your old bones were about to be torn apart, so I showed mercy."

The gray-haired elder with exaggerated muscles puffed out his chest muscles and hummed:

"This old man's muscles are not vegetarian."

The other five elders had already started to take off their robes and throw their walking sticks, ready to fight Lina.

"Great Elder, let's deal with Lina's private transmission of secret techniques first."

A dark-skinned, handsome young woman called.

"Azi is still smart."

The Great Elder nodded, no longer bothering about the duel.

This sentence immediately brought the state of the surrounding force Gu department and elders back to the topic.

Everyone looked serious, looking at Lina and the stranger with a deadpan attitude.

Seeing this, Mu Nanzhi and Bai Ji were a little apprehensive, this group of "simple" Li Gu clan suddenly became chilling and indifferent.

Even when he looked at Lina, his fellow clan, his eyes were cold. This made Mu Nanzhi more and more aware of the strict rules of the Li Gu clan.

The Great Elder asked in a deep voice:

"Who is your disciple?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Qi'an, full of hostility.

Among this group of outsiders, there is a six or seven-year-old girl, a weak and ugly woman, a fox, and a man.

Obviously, the so-called apprentice is this man. With the wisdom of the people of the Li Gu tribe, they can easily deduce it.

It is not uncommon for the women of the Gu clan to go out to be deceived and seduced by wild men, and then to betray the interests of the clan for the so-called love.

With the wisdom of the force Gu department, this is a very simple reasoning.

"Hmph, hateful, the men from the Central Plains are dying."

"Cook it directly, let's share it."

"Lina, you have disappointed me so much. Grandma originally wanted to ask the patriarch to propose marriage."

"What kind of marriage are you talking about? No one wants Bai Cheng like this. Hmph, you even have the face to bring a wild man back with you by spreading the patriarch's secret method to the outside world."

The crowd is passionate.

Lina waved:

"Ringtone, come here!"

Little Douding stepped forward with two short legs.

Lina pressed Xiaodouding's head and said loudly:

"Great Elder, this is my disciple."

The surrounding reprimands and yelling suddenly stopped, and the other elders seemed to have known it for a long time. The first elder took a look at Xu Lingyin:

"What is the limit?"

Lina said: "Ninth-rank pinnacle, I could have been promoted to eighth-rank long ago, but I was suppressed."

The faces of the surrounding clansmen softened, and they only taught the most basic secret arts, which was relatively good, because they often taught the secret arts before the fourth rank to well-qualified slaves, and trained them to become war slaves.

The Great Elder nodded slightly and said:

"Rules are rules. It is a big taboo for you to teach secrets to outsiders or people from the Central Plains without permission. Even your father can't protect you. Lina, the six of us gathered here today to discuss A result."

After he finished speaking, he and the six elders gathered together, chattering in Nanjiang dialect.

Xu Qi'an couldn't understand, but she saw Lina's complexion changed very badly.

A few minutes later, the six elders finished their discussion, and the first elder shook his head slowly:

"The Gu tribe has no precedent for accepting people from the Central Plains as disciples, nor have the other six tribes. Our Ligu tribe cannot set such a precedent. Moreover, in the battle of Shanhaiguan, too many tribesmen died under the butcher knife of the Central Plains master.

"Our Power Gu Department accepts a Central Plains native as a disciple, and the other six departments must be dissatisfied.

"So, this little girl, there are only two paths. Either stay in the Gu clan as a war slave, or abolish the natal Gu.

"As for you, you will be whipped ten thousand and starved for six days."

Six days of starvation. Lina's expression gradually became stiff.

"What did he say?" Xu Qi'an asked Lina beside him.

"She said that Lingyin should either stay in the Gu clan as a war slave, or abolish the natal Gu."

Lina explained with a sullen face:

"War slaves usually don't live to be thirty years old. The natal Gu is integrated with the life, and if the natal Gu is abolished, there will be a narrow chance of death."

Isn't this the elder in my impression! Xu Qi'an said:

"What are you going to do?"

Although I think Lina is unreliable, I decided to ask her opinion first, after all, this is her territory.

"Actually, even if you don't come to Southern Border, I will invite you to come here in the future."

Lina said with a look of "I'm very witty", "In our force Gu department, rules are just rules, and strength is the creed."

After finishing speaking, she took a few steps forward, stood in front of the six elders and her father, and said loudly:

"No, if you don't agree with me accepting apprentices, then you can only let them go back to the Central Plains. Lingyin will not stay in the clan as a war slave. You can't abolish the natal Gu."

"Hmph, it's not up to you."

One of the elders began to take off his robe again, expressing his intention to beat Lina.

Lina didn't hesitate at all, pointed at Xu Qi'an, and said:

"He is Lingyin's eldest brother. If you want to dispose of Lingyin, first ask him if he agrees."

Knowing how to drive tigers and wolves to find backers, Lina has made progress in the Central Plains these days. When she heard that Xu Ningyan was going to southern Xinjiang and asked herself to lead the way, she realized that the opportunity for Lingyin to be recognized by the clan had come.

Hearing this, the six elders frowned and looked at Xu Qi'an.

The surrounding Li Gu clansmen also turned their heads, one after another friendly, hostile or curious gazes focused on him.

The Great Elder frowned, staring at Xu Qi'an: "Who are you?"

Seriously, Lina is always making trouble for me. You said it’s meaningless to pretend to be aggressive in front of your friends and clansmen. Xu Qi’an took a few steps forward, with a calm smile on his face:

"I promise Qi'an, and I will offer you a silver gong."

The Great Elder shook his head slowly: "I haven't heard of it."

The unknown people of the Li Gu clan looked away one after another and stopped paying attention.

Is there no internet in the village? Xu Qi'an's expression became uncontrollably stiff.

The elder said calmly: "Longtu, put this kid aside, for the sake of Lina's friend, I won't kill him."

After he finished speaking, he found that Longtu hadn't moved. He was staring deeply at the young man from the Central Plains, as if staring at an enemy that could only be dealt with with full concentration.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Elder felt a terrible breath revive from behind.

An overwhelming coercion descended from the sky, covering the hearts of every Li Gu clansman.

The Great Elder suddenly turned his head and saw a golden body with a blazing ring of fire burning behind his head, bringing scorching heat.

Xu Qi'an slowly retracted the sword finger that started between his eyebrows, and said with a smile:

"King Kong magic, you always know it."

PS: Change first and then change.
