Raising Gu Notes

(Chapter 2 is here. Thank you Xiaoling and Li Xueruo for your support.)

After entering the Black City, Schelling and the others also found that there was almost no one in the city, and it looked very deserted. It was not until they were about to reach the sixteen-pointed watchtower that a group of men with guns came out of the watchtower. Come out and come up quickly.

The heads of this group of men were all tied with a black cloth, and their faces were solemn. When they saw Ah Luo and the others, they all half knelt down with their luggage.

It's just that Ah Luo and the others turned their heads to look at Xiao Xing.

The group of men looked up at Xiao Xing, but they all showed joy, then the leading man ran up to Xiao Xing in small steps, saluted Xiao Xing, and chatted with Xiao Xing a few words.

Xiao Xing looked a little displeased, pouted and said a few words.

The leading man also showed a look of embarrassment.

But at this time, Anong pointed to the outside of the city, and said a few words to the leading man.

The leading man turned his head to look at Mrs. Xi.

After Mrs. Xi said a few words to them, the leading man led the others out of the city.

Seeing that Xie Lin and the others looked puzzled, Ayun explained to Xie Lin and the others that the old patriarch here, that is, the grandmother of Ayun and Xiaoxing, passed away not long ago. Before she died, she appointed Xiaoxing as the next patriarch, and the patriarch Most of the people in the clan also agreed, but in the end, everyone found that Xiao Xing had disappeared and did not know where he went, so the people in the clan were also very anxious. Now that they saw Xiao Xing coming back, these people naturally Rest assured, I want Xiaoxing to succeed the patriarch immediately so that he can preside over the affairs of the clan, including how to deal with the affairs of the old patriarch after his death.

But Xiao Xing didn't want to be the patriarch, so he wanted to decline, which made the man embarrassed just now.

But Ah Yun interrupted and asked the man to lead someone out of the city.Earlier, Anion and A Luo took a group of people out. Later, after seeing Xie Lin and the others, the group of people suddenly fell off their horses. stunned those people.Just now they rushed back to treat the blind man, and they didn't have time to take care of those people. Now, Anong also asked the man to lead someone to bring those people back.

However, those people were under the command of old lady Xi, so they asked old lady Xi for instructions.

But before, Mrs. Xi also brought a group of people. Later, in order to hold back the puppet and the three men in black robes and help Xie Lin and the others break through, Mrs. Xi and the group of people stayed behind. That Wu Liang pretended to be Xin Shen and lured him away. The old lady Xi was worried, so she let the team chase the blind man, and she caught up with Xie Lin and the others. Later, the blind man came back, but there was no news from the team. Although the old lady didn't think they would be in any danger, she was still a little worried, so she asked the man to take someone there to have a look.

After hearing what A Yun said, Xie Lin and the others suddenly realized.

But Xiaoxing couldn't help interjecting: "Sister, I don't want to be the patriarch, you should be the one."

A Yun has a serious face: "Nonsense, this is an order left by grandma before she died, don't be disobedient, such a serious matter, how can you be casual."

Xiao Xing curled her lips, "You don't like being fooled yourself, but you insist on pushing me on the head."

A Yun's face changed, but she was speechless, as if Xiao Xing had hit the nail on the head.

Ah Yun glanced at Xiao Xing, but said: "Okay, don't argue about this, just go in."

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked into the sixteen-corner watchtower.

Under the sixteen-corner watchtower, there is a huge door, about three meters high and two meters wide.

The old lady Xi glanced at Xie Lin and the others: "Everyone go in."

Everyone filed in.

Once inside, Xie Lin and the others' eyes lit up.In front of them, a large hall appeared, and the people in the hall were densely packed. Schelling took a rough look and estimated that there were thousands of people, but these people sat quietly on the ground, hardly making a sound. The hall is not only spacious, but also nearly five meters high, so although there are many people in the hall, it doesn't make people feel cramped. .

Above the hall, there are gorgeous glazed lamps hanging. These glazed lamps are very large and hung on it in rows, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

After Xie Lin and the others walked in, all the people in the hall turned their heads to look at Xie Lin and the others, and then stood up one after another, bowing their heads and saluting with respectful faces.

At this time, the old lady Xi raised her voice and said a few words, pointing to Xiaoxing, and everyone turned their heads to look at Xiaoxing again.

Then, Ah Luo also said a few words, and nodded to Xiao Xing with a smile on her face.

Anon, however, looked at Mrs. Xi and A Luo, looking a little surprised and strange.

But those people knelt down towards Xiao Xing and shouted in unison.

Xiaoxing's face was full of disappointment.

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan were a little strange again.

Ayun then explained in a low voice that Mrs. Xi and her mother A Luo both solemnly expressed their support for Xiaoxing as the new patriarch. They are all important figures in the clan, and with their support, there is no problem for Xiaoxing to take over as the patriarch. .

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan finally understood why Xiao Xing's mother, Anong, was so surprised. She probably didn't expect that Mrs. Xi and A Luo would support Xiao Xing.

And because Xiaoxing didn't want to be the patriarch, under such circumstances, he was naturally a little unhappy.

Everyone in the hall was still shouting in unison.

Out of curiosity, Ba Xiaolan couldn't help asking Ayun what the words everyone shouted meant.

Unexpectedly, there was a trace of embarrassment on Ayun's face.

After a moment's hesitation, she told Schelling they were shouting "Long live the king."

It turns out that here, everyone calls the patriarch not the patriarch, but the king, or the king.

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan couldn't help being extremely surprised.

Xiaoxing's face was even uglier, showing a trace of embarrassment.

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan both laughed and said nothing.

The old lady Xi said a few more words to the people in the hall.Those people all stood up, and then the people in the middle stepped out of the way.

Mrs. Xi took the lead and went up.

When he came to the middle of the hall, Xie Lin found that there was a large wooden ladder in the middle, leading to the top.

Following Mrs. Xi all the way up to the second floor, Xie Lin found that there was also a large hall on the second floor, and the hall was full of people, probably no less than 500 people.

The old lady Xi didn't stop, and led everyone to continue walking up.

All the way up, to the third floor, the fourth floor and even the back, although the space is getting smaller and smaller, but it is full of people, each of them silently lowered their heads, with a solemn expression.

Schelling guessed that these people should be mourning the death of the old patriarch, or holding some kind of ceremony.

The crowd walked for about a few minutes, and they didn't know how many floors they had reached. Mrs. Xi finally stopped.

Fortunately, both Xie Lin and Ye Xia were freaks. If they were normal people, if they walked up the stairs for such a long time with their backs on their backs, they would probably collapse from exhaustion.

On this floor, the space has become relatively narrow, less than twenty square meters, but there are no decorations inside. If it is not compared with the one below, it is considered empty.

The old lady Xi asked Xie Lin and Ye Xia to put Zhang Lang and the blind man down.

Just as Xie Lin put down Zhang Lang, the cell phone in his backpack rang suddenly.

The ringtones kept ringing, but they were all SMS alerts.

Xie Lin couldn't help being very surprised. You must know that since they entered the deep mountain, there has been no signal on the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is usually used as a clock.

But I didn't expect that at this time, the phone actually had a signal.I don't know if I have reached the top of the watchtower and stood higher, so I can finally receive the signal.

Xie Lin hurriedly took out his mobile phone to have a look, but found that it was full of incoming call reminders, and most of them were from the same number.

Since about five days ago, this number has called Schelling every half hour or so.In these two days,

Schelling was surprised and dialed the number.

The phone was connected quickly, and an excited voice came: "Is it Mr. Xie Lin, I finally got in touch with you."

When Xie Lin heard this voice, he was quite surprised, and his heart moved.The owner of this voice, Xie Lin had met once, was the armed police major he met on the train when he left Xi'an to go back to school.

The armed police major then told Xie Lin that the "condition" of the armed police major general had suddenly become serious, and hoped that Xie Lin could pass as soon as possible.
