Chapter 384 Argument at the clan meeting
What Liu Shijia said was actually meant for Liu Changyong and Liu Shijie, because the other important clan members sitting here are from the lineage of the old clan leader Liu Baishan.
The patriarch Liu Shijie reacted in a very short time and said quickly:
"Chang Xu should be the supreme elder of the family, and I wholeheartedly agree with this.
>
However, I disagree with one thing that the ninth brother said. With my current cultivation level, I am no longer suitable to be the patriarch of the family. This position should be chosen by someone else. I think it is better for the fifth brother to take the position. "
After the patriarch Liu Shijie finished speaking, Liu Changyong, who reacted quickly, said:
"I completely agree with Uncle Jiu's opinion!"
Next, a group of people including the fourth elder Liu Baichuan and the fifth elder Liu Baiqiang Elders from all clans spoke one after another, some agreed with Liu Shijia's opinion, and some agreed with Liu Shijie's opinion.
At this moment, Liu Changxu spoke, and everyone at the scene immediately stopped the discussion and listened carefully to his speech. Unknowingly, he was already the backbone of the Liu family, even though he was of lower seniority and younger age. It doesn't hinder the weight of his words. This is the demonstration of the strength and status of the strong!
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked:
"Grandpa, father, mother, uncles and elders, and all the clansmen present, I am a junior in the family, not very old, and have little experience in running the family. They elected me to be the leader of the family just because of my Jindan cultivation. Supreme Elder, I think it is a bit inappropriate.
Furthermore, since I am a true disciple of the sect, I will have to participate in sect tasks many times in the future, and it will be difficult to take care of the family. Therefore, I think it is because of this. It is not appropriate for me to hold the position of supreme elder of the family, but if the family has something to do, I will never refuse!"
As soon as Liu Changxu said these words, except for Liu Changxu's family, the hearts of other clan members were like a heartbreak! Thunder explodes!
Even his father Liu Shihao looked at his son with a confused expression, not understanding what his son meant!
The reason why Liu Changxu said this was because he just saw an inexplicable meaning in the discussion among the tribesmen present!
In fact, according to the discussion among the tribesmen just now, the tribesmen who support the third uncle Liu Shijie to continue to serve as the patriarch of the family still do not want the power of the patriarch to fall into the hands of Liu Changxu again.
After understanding the thoughts of these tribesmen, Liu Changxu immediately became less interested in family affairs! What does this mean? Isn't it just that you are worried about Liu Changxu and his son?
Thinking that he had done so much for the family and many clan members were still not satisfied, it also made him feel a lot colder.
Combined with the secret discussion he overheard among the tribesmen last night, he would say such words at the tribe meeting today.
As for the reason why Liu Changxu was able to hear the secret murmurs of his tribe, it was also related to his cultivation level. As a golden elixir monk, he not only had powerful attack methods, but his spiritual consciousness could clearly perceive the surrounding area for dozens of miles. As long as he wants to hear about the activities of the ants, he can easily grasp the changes within a hundred miles around. Therefore, the secret discussions of the tribesmen can easily be known to Liu Changxu. This is also the tragedy of the strong!
This is because Liu Changxu is young and lacks concentration. Many old monsters who have practiced for hundreds of years will close their six senses and will not be angry for nothing.
As for the reason why the tribesmen have so much discussion, it is also related to the new population policy proposed by Liu Changxu.
Over the years, stimulated by high rewards, tribesmen have taken wives and concubines on a large scale, which has also brought about a very serious sequelae, that is, fewer and fewer tribesmen families can achieve family harmony. . There is no way, there are too many wives and concubines, and there are too many disputes over the distribution of interests within the family. Many tribesmen's families are full of nothings.
Not only that, these clan members who married into the Liu family also had a very bad impact on the stability and unity within the Liu family. They were extremely envious of Liu Changxu's four wives for their ability to build foundations. Jealousy, trying every means to seduce her husband to fight for her own interests, which makes the high-ranking monks in the family very prone to corruption.
The experience of the eldest brother Liu Changyong is a vivid and vivid example. He recently married an extremely beautiful and coquettish Qi Lian cultivator. This concubine is not only extremely beautiful, but also very good at bewitching with words!
The reason why she married Liu Changyong was to rely on her husband's strength to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill for herself. However, after marrying Liu Changyong, she discovered that this was not the case!
With resentment in her heart, she began to constantly seduce her husband to seek personal gain for herself. At first, Liu Changyong could maintain his original intention, but as time went by, his originally firm heart began to waver, and he began to do some useful things. Things that harm the interests of the family.
It was precisely after understanding the situation that the family was facing that Liu Changxu decided not to serve as the supreme elder of the family, because he knew very well that the position of supreme elder was a shackles for him! At the same time, it also means that he has to bear the greatest obligation and responsibility for the future of his family, and he has to transfuse blood for the family like he is now, but he cannot get the understanding of his clan members. It can be said that he has contributed but not done well. Why should he find fault for himself? Take it!
If he does not hold the position of Taishang Elder, he will not have to bear such a big responsibility. He can move forward lightly in the future. With the benefits belonging to him not less than half, he does not have to face the clan too much. With more expectations and no expectations, there is no so-called resentment, and the tribesmen will be much less dissatisfied with him and his family. This may be the so-called human nature! Even the high-ranking immortal cultivators can't get rid of it.
After Liu Changxu said his decision, a group of elders and senior officials, including the ninth uncle Liu Shijia and the eldest brother Liu Changyong, immediately woke up. They quickly understood the inner meaning of Liu Changxu's words and spoke out to save him!
Even the eldest elder Liu Qiusheng, who stood aside and said nothing, offered to let Liu Changxu serve as the family's supreme elder. However, Liu Changxu was dismissed by Liu Changxu because of his young age, inexperience, and sect responsibilities. By prevaricating.
There was no other way. In the end, under the persuasion of his father Liu Shihao, he continued to maintain the status quo and ended the discussion. However, today's incident also made the Liu family realize that there are problems and rifts within the family. If this problem cannot be solved well, the Liu family may eventually fall apart.
When the time comes, Liu Changxu is likely to separate his family and establish another one. This is too easy for Liu Changxu, a golden elixir monk.
Speaking of which, this is also a problem that is commonly encountered in cultivating families, especially when it comes to important matters such as the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills that can determine the fate of the family and personal path and longevity. If it is not handled well, it will easily lead to the inheritance of a number of people. A century-old family is falling apart.
After ending the unpleasant topic just now, in order to lighten the atmosphere, Liu Changxu took out two jade bottles from the storage ring on the spot and said: "These are the two foundation-building pills I seized on the battlefield, and I will dedicate them to them now." Family!"
As he said that, he solemnly delivered the two jade bottles to the hands of the patriarch Liu Shijie. The hearts of the senior family elders who were worried just now immediately became excited, especially those who were expected to build the foundation. Fifth brother Liu Changshun and others were even more excited!
When the patriarch Liu Shijie took over the Foundation Establishment Pill and checked that it was correct, he couldn't help but express excitement. His son Liu Changyong was not young anymore. As he got older, the success rate of Foundation Establishment increased. The lower it gets, this makes him extremely anxious. Now that he has two foundation-building pills, one of them must be for his son. How can this not make him happy?
Soon the topic of everyone present turned to the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills.
