[Thank you for the reward: In the city of hurt ° humming alone and lonely, 10000]

This old man who claims to be Ji Hu is completely different from the arrogant old lady just now, he is very humble and kind, but even so, the powerful aura exuded by this old man is stronger than everyone present .

Chen Zhi could tell from his steps and attitude that this old man had definitely served as a warrior before, and he was by no means an ordinary warrior.

After the old lady brought Chen Zhi in, she joined the ranks of the elders, and leaned over to say a few words to Ji Hu who was sitting in the middle. Chen Zhi saw that there were seven people in the elders' seat. Except for the old lady, the rest are all old men.

They are all wearing simple leather armor, just like the military uniforms they wear every day. It feels a bit like watching an old-fashioned movie, but their faces are very natural, as if they have already gotten used to this state of life in military uniforms.

The leader of the elders, Ji Hu, first asked Chen Zhi to sit down very politely, then sat down himself, and then the others followed suit.Then I heard Ji Hu say,

"Patriarch Chen, I would like to trouble you to come here in person today, because there is an important matter related to the fate of the organization to discuss..."
When Ji Hu spoke, his face was full of smiles. His chin was very sharp, his eyes were thin and small, but they were very bright. He smiled kindly at Chen Zhi. His appearance was indeed very similar to his name. Really like an old fox.

"If you are looking for me for the succession of the next patriarch, you can tell me what you need to do," Chen Zhi asked bluntly.

"haha!",
Ji Hu tapped the table with his fingers and smiled faintly at Chen Zhi.

"Patriarch Chen is really wise. He asked you to come here today to discuss the matter of the next leader, because this matter is of great importance, and it is related to the future fate of the organization. We dare not make any claims and must get your approval. ".

"Let's talk!", Chen Zhi nodded, motioning for the other party to speak directly.

At this time, I heard Ji Hu continue to say...

"The inheritance system in our organization is very strict. It is not a parent-child inheritance system, but a continuation of the meritocracy system in ancient times. It is not based on blood relationship, but only on the virtuous.

For 5000 years, in order to prevent the occurrence of power-seeking and usurpation of the throne, and also to prevent civil wars during the succession of the throne, there are strict iron laws in the organization, and all

The will of the previous leader shall prevail, and any act of violating orders and seizing the heir apparent will be executed immediately.

"Death?" Chen Zhi was a little strange when he heard this,
"I remember that female elder told me just now that all the leaders of the organization, without exception, were killed in battle. That is to say, their deaths all happen suddenly, and there may not be a chance to leave a will before they die. Then you Where does the inheritance basis come from?"

"It is true that the leaders of our Ji family all died in battle, but they still left behind their lives..." Elder Ji Hu said with a smile,

"As for the mission of our Ji's Elderly House, apart from being in charge of the clothes and coffins of all deceased leaders from generation to generation, there is also the heavy responsibility of appointing new leaders.

We were all warriors once, and the best warriors at that. For this mission, we all put down our swords and chose to stay here.Because this is the most sacred place in the Xiqi King City, where the will of the Ji family's royal family is condensed, no one dares to tell a lie here.

In the center of our elders' house, there is a dark and transparent stone wall, which was passed down from a long time ago, even earlier than Zhou Liguo's time. This stone wall looks simple and ordinary on weekdays, but its But it has condensed a kind of divine power, which can show the wish of the previous leader before his death.

No matter when, where and for what reason the leader passed away, his will will be preserved. This is the last sliver of faith before death!
And this belief will be revealed from that stone wall. At that time, a name will appear on the stone wall, and this name will be our next leader. It has been 5000 years, and there has never been any mistakes. "

"Since there is such a clear thing, there should be no controversy about the appointment of the next leader. Then the purpose of you inviting me here today is...",
When Chen Zhi said this, he looked up at Elder Ji Hu in front of him, and looked into his sly eyes.

"Hehe! Patriarch Chen," Elder Ji Hu immediately narrowed his eyes into a slit and laughed.

All rules have internal and external layers. Our organization has been passed down for nearly 5000 years, and we have supported the mission of the organization for 5000 years. When we choose the next leader of the Elderly House, we must be extremely cautious. It's not a child's play, once entrusted to someone else, or passed on to a mediocre person, the entire organization will follow him into an irreversible crisis.

The golden rule of the organization is very strict, and any disobedience cannot be tolerated. Even if there is a problem with the new leader, we must protect each other until death. Therefore, the fate of the entire organization is actually in our hands now. hands.

Therefore, according to the usual practice, before each leader succeeds, we will first ask the Jiang family for their opinions, and ask the Jiang family patriarch to recommend someone to be elected.

Then after we confirm that it is correct, we will gather all the warriors of the tribe together on a specific day, and then we will uncover the veil on the stone wall together, and announce the name of the next leader to the world. "

"What's the point of doing this?" Chen Zhi asked a little strangely, "What if the candidate I named is inconsistent with the leader's last wish? What should you do then?",
"This kind of situation has never happened before..." Ji Hu said with certainty.

"What I'm talking about now is the iron law of the second-tier organization, which is a secret that only our elders know. That is, the candidates appointed by the previous leader must be exactly the same as those appointed by the Jiang clan chief, otherwise it will not be established."

"It turned out to be like this... That's why we can be sure that there has never been any civil strife in the past 5000 years. It turns out that the real conflict has been internally digested," Chen Zhi said silently in his heart. ,
"Then after I recommend a person, you will privately look at the name on the stone wall, and then decide whether this person is qualified to be the leader, right?" Chen Zhi looked at Ji Hu and asked.

"Yes!" Ji Hu replied solemnly, "This is the secret of our Ji family succession system, because our leader must be like the leaders of all generations, be brave and wise.

And until now, there has never been a difference in the candidates recommended by the leader and the patriarch..."

"What?" Chen Zhi was a little surprised when he heard this, "You mean, for 5000 years, the successors chosen by the Ji clan and the Jiang clan's patriarch are the same person?".

"Yes!" Ji Hu said with a smile,
"There has never been a disagreement so far, so we believe in you, and you will also have a tacit understanding with the deceased leader. Please tell us the name you recommend..."
