Fortunate Young Gentleman

The old woman glanced at everyone and said, "It's getting late, let's go in."

The woman named Ni Jiu bowed to her and led everyone into the valley in front, and her figure gradually disappeared.

After they went in, the fourth elder went straight to a row of wooden houses outside the valley.

In the largest wooden house, there were more than ten figures, and the eighth elder was among them. He glanced at the fourth elder and turned his head away with a gloomy face.

The rest of the people were men and women. An old man looked at her and asked, "The fourth vein came so late, I guess you have got the love Gu?"

The fourth elder glanced at him and said, "The second elder doesn't need to worry about it."

Another old woman snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think that you can get the position of the saint by getting the love Gu? It's not certain who will win or lose!"

The battle for the saint is a major event for the Wan Gu Sect and Qiandi. During this period of time, the ten elders will stay here and wait for the final result.

Although it was a consensus among all of them that a Saint must be chosen as soon as possible to reunite the Wan Gu Sect, which had already collapsed, they still argued over who to choose as the Saint.

The Saint was the core of the Wan Gu Sect and the absolute leader of the sect. There was no doubt that whichever lineage won the position of Saint would be the first of the ten lines in the future, and no one was willing to give up this opportunity.

Several people made sarcastic remarks to each other, and suddenly someone looked around and said in surprise: "Why is Ousin not here?"

Ousin was the ninth elder, and the ten elders gathered here, but Ousin was the only one missing.

It was incredible that one of the ten elders was absent on such an important occasion.

Someone said: "The people of the ninth lineage did not see her when they entered the forest. It is said that she was in seclusion to comprehend the Gu technique and has not come out for three months."

The reason why the ninth elder was absent was explained, and everyone stopped discussing the matter. They were already wary of each other, and even under the same roof, they did not communicate much.

The old woman just walked in from outside and nailed a piece of cloth to the wall.

There are ten pieces of cloth like this on the wall, and each piece has eleven names written on it, including a candidate for the saint and ten saint guardians.

If one of the candidates eventually becomes a real saint, these ten people will be the top leaders of the church, and it is not impossible for them to become the ten elders in the future. Of course, the premise is that they can survive in the Wan Gu Forest.

Because the mission of these ten people is to protect the candidate saint to become a real saint. For this mission, they can pay anything, including their lives.

In fact, in the competition for saints over the years, the guardians paid their lives for this, and even the situation of annihilation of the whole army often occurred.

Whether those saint candidates can defeat their opponents in the Wan Gu Forest and laugh to the end, these ten saint guardians play a vital role.

Therefore, for these ten guardians, each lineage will send the strongest lineup in the tribe. For other lines, they not only care about who the other party’s candidate saint is, but also care about the other party’s saint guardian.

If a Gu Dao master of the ten elders level sneaks in, it will be a fatal blow to the other veins.

Because of this, they have made a rule that the age of the guardian must not be older than 30 years old.

"Two guardians of the third vein have been promoted to blue clothes, and they are only 18 years old..."

"So what, there are two in the seventh vein."

"The saint selected by the tenth vein... is Han Chinese?"

...

Looking at the name on the cloth, someone seemed to find something unusual. After everyone gathered around to take a look, they all frowned and looked at a figure in the corner. That was the elder of the tenth vein.

"She just used a Chinese name, what's so strange about that?" The tenth elder glanced at the fourth elder and said, "Isn't there a person named Tang Ningning in the lineage of Elder Xin Yi?"

The Gu tribe has its own writing and language, and their naming is also different from that of the Han people. However, as the exchanges between the Gu tribe and the Han people deepen, some of them will also give themselves a Han Chinese name.

Today, there are already many Gu people with Chinese names, and Chinese names are gradually being recognized in Guizhou.

Moreover, the Tenth Clan has a close relationship with the former Liang royal family, and there are countless people in their lineage who have Chinese names.

The crowd did not dwell too much on this issue, and the wooden house soon returned to silence.

In the corner, beside the tenth elder, a middle-aged woman frowned and said, "Tang Ningning..., could it be him?"

"You are confused, this is Qiandi, how could he be here?" Bai Jin glanced at Gongsun Ying, "Besides, how could a man become a woman?"

Gongsun Ying shook her head and said, "I think I'm overthinking..."

The tenth elder on the side looked at Bai Jin and asked, "Senior sister, how sure are you about this matter?"

Bai Jin said, "She has ice silkworm Gu and silver snake king on her body. In terms of Gu technique, no one is her opponent. She is surrounded by masters we arranged in, so it can be guaranteed to be foolproof..."

Outside the wooden house, several figures were guarding outside the valley. Their mission was to stop anyone except the saint and the guardian from entering the door.

At a certain moment, one of them rubbed his eyes, looked at his companion beside him, and asked, "Did something pass by just now?"

The person next to him glanced at him and said, "Where is the thing?"

The man said: "I seemed to see some shadow passing by just now, and the pile of dead leaves also moved..."

Another person waved his hand and said, "Is it the wind?"

The man looked again and saw that the valley in front of him was empty and there was nothing. He shook his head and said, "Maybe..."

At this time, in the valley, the old beggar stepped on the thick dead leaves, curled his lips, and muttered: "What a useless place..."

Tangning squatted by the stream, washed his face, then reached out and caught a snake that jumped out of the water and tried to attack him.

"Don't throw it away." The old beggar came over, took it from his hand, skillfully took out the snake gall and threw it into his mouth.

He raised his head and took a sip of wine, looked at Tangning and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

It was Tangning's first time for an older girl to get on the sedan chair to compete for the saint. He looked at Nijiu and asked, "Did the fourth elder tell you what to do next?"

After Aduo translated Tangning's words, Nijiu looked at him with a complicated expression and said a few words.

A'duo looked at Tang Ning and said, "She said that the Fourth Elder didn't say anything and just asked her to listen to Brother Tang."

Tangning thought for a while and said, "Let's find a place to camp. If we don't go to them, they will come to us."

The method of selecting saints in the Ten Thousand Gu Sect has always been cruel, just like practicing Gu. Ten candidate saints enter the Ten Thousand Gu Forest, and only one can become a saint in the end.

The only way to become a saint is to defeat the other nine candidates.

Therefore, they don't actually need to do anything, and someone will naturally come to their door.

After Tang Ning and others went some distance deep, they planned to camp on the spot and wait for the enemy.

At the same time, there was a forest dozens of miles away from their camp.

Eleven figures were walking slowly in the forest. A girl looked behind her and said worriedly: "She won't catch up, right?"

"Don't worry." Another woman comforted, "With Sister Su here, we won't be afraid even if she catches up."

The girl walked to the front, looked at a veiled woman in the front, and asked, "Sister Su, what should we do next?"

The woman stopped, looked around, and said, "Just stop here, they will come to you sooner or later..."

Her voice is so melodious that one can't help but feel a tingling sensation in one's bones.

Suddenly a breeze blew up in the forest, blowing up a corner of her veil, revealing half of her face that could enchant all living beings...
