Chapter 43: Fight for power

　　 After several rounds, Wang Daoyuan finally returned to Yuquan Peak three days later.

　　 He did not return to his cave, but went straight to the Executive Hall by the Jade Dragon Spring to report to the great elder Wang Zhiren.

　　 Prior to this, there had been a few returnees who had participated in the extermination of monster beasts, and there were news of unfavorable battle conditions.

　　 But none of the people who participated in the extermination of the monsters and beasts with the royal family chief came back, and the elders who stayed behind were all anxious. Seeing Wang Daoyuan's return, Wang Zhiren was overjoyed and immediately convened a meeting with the family elders to calm everyone's hearts.

　　 After all, the king's clan chief and the heirs of the pre-determined clan chief are among them. Once there is an accident, the family will inevitably compete for power.

　　 After a while, all the elders who were still on Yuquan Peak in the Wang family rushed to the chamber. There are ten elders in the Wang family, two of whom are unclear about their lives and deaths. The Jiu Shu Gong Wang Shoude sits in Qinglifang City, and there are seven elders in Yuquanfeng who handle daily affairs.

　　As soon as the elders arrived, they gathered around Wang Daoyuan and asked the east and the west. After the people were all together, Wang Zhiren said, "Quiet, everyone is here. Let's listen to Daoyuan and talk about what happened."

Wang Daoyuan briefly described how the Qi-training monks escaped from outside the Jinyan City to the Qi-training monk's escape, and solemnly said: “The Netherworld Sect elder ordered the Qi-training monks to evacuate, and the Chi-ji monks to resist the spirit worms. Before we evacuate, The patriarch said: If he can’t come back, let the twelfth uncle Wang Shouye succeed as the patriarch. If the twelfth uncle fails to return, let the third brother Wang Daochang succeed as the patriarch."

　　 Hearing what Wang Daoyuan said, the elders were not suspicious, because Wang Shouye was the heir of the family, and Wang Daochang was praised by the patriarch for his calm personality and was a patriarch. These words are reasonable and there is no doubt.

　　 However, believing in my heart and believing in my lips are two different things. Although Wang Daoyuan's words were not suspicious, they were nothing but vernacular after all, and there was no evidence.

　　 At this time, a middle-aged elder opened his mouth and said: "Does Dao Yuan have evidence for this?"

　　 The middle-aged elder's name is Wang Shoufeng. He ranks sixth in the character-saving generation and has very good qualifications. He is second only to Wang Shouye among his peers, and is twenty years older than Wang Shouye.

　　Before Wang Shouye started his practice, he had always been the key training object of the family, and he is likely to become a foundation-building monk in the future and inherit the position of patriarch.

　　 However, Wang Shouye was born out of nowhere. He had the best qualifications after the ancestors of the Wang family. He abused Wang Shoufeng.

　　 Since then, Wang Shouye's cultivation base has made rapid progress, and he has reached the peak of Qi training earlier than Wang Shoufeng. Moreover, Wang Shouye is open-minded, does not seek personal gain, and has high prestige in the family. Wang Shoufeng is too selfish, not very upright, and not a qualified heir.

　　 After Wang Shouye's cultivation reached the peak of Qi training, he was appointed as the heir of the patriarch by default. In the future, the family will sell the iron and get the Jidan, and naturally it will be handed over to him.

　　 Wang Shoufeng has always held a grudge against Wang Shouye, thinking that Wang Shouye has taken away what originally belonged to him.

　　 This time, Wang Shouye's life and death were unknown, and he saw the opportunity. He wanted to take back what belonged to him.

　　Wang Shoufeng’s question, although it was a well-known question, everyone knew it was true, but Wang Daoyuan really couldn’t produce evidence.

　　 "Since there is no proof, it is impossible to prove the authenticity. How should the patriarch be chosen?"

　　 Wang Daoyuan fell into deep thought: When the patriarch said this, nothing was left behind. The sixth uncle made it clear that he didn't want to recognize him, and wanted to seize power as the patriarch. He is not an elder, nor does he have any real power. He has no right to say anything in this matter.

　　 In desperation, he had to resort to a slow-down strategy: "When the patriarch said this, all ten of us were present. Since I can escape, the other people may not be able to escape.

　　 If anyone else can escape back, let him relay the words of the patriarch. If there is no discrepancy with what I said, it can prove that this is true. What do the elders think? "

　　Wang Zhiren feared that Wang Shoufeng would have another moth, and robbed him of the words: "The long way is reasonable, so he will wait for the next clan to come back to make a decision."

　　 In addition to the great elders, there are three elders who agree with each other, and they have the upper hand.

　　Wang Shoufeng also had no excuses to oppose, and he agreed with Wang Daoyuan’s words, saying: "Dao Yuan is reasonable, but the family cannot be left alone. Before that, someone must act as the head of the patriarch."

　　 Two elders echoed Wang Shoufeng's words.

　　 Wang Daoyuan secretly said: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is no harmony within the family! This is divided into two factions. If it develops and grows in the future, it is uncertain how it will become.

　　 There is a patriarch sitting in town, no one dared to make a fuss. Now that the patriarch has not returned, the great elder can't hold people back, so these three elders jumped out and made a fuss.

　　 However, Wang Daoyuan has nothing to do. Whether it is seniority, strength or real power, he is not qualified to express his position, and can only watch.

　　 Suddenly, an overbearing momentum came over, and everyone was a little out of breath. Then, an old but domineering voice came: "How about the old man acting as the chief of the patriarch?"

　　 This voice made Wang Daoyuan feel familiar and unfamiliar. This was definitely Tai Gong Wang Jize. What makes Wang Daoyuan feel strange is that Wang Jize has always spoken amiably, and he has never discovered that the old man has such a domineering side.

　　Wang Jize has been guarding the Buddhist scriptures building, UU reading www.uukanshu. com just asked about the affairs of the clan, everyone has forgotten that there is still such a supreme elder in the clan.

　　Wang Jize, with white beard and white hair, walked into the gate of the Chamber, and his waist became as tall and straight as loose.

　　 "The old man takes the honor of the elder, acting as the chief of the patriarch, what do you think?"

　　The four elders were overjoyed, and even said that they had no opinion. Although Wang Shoufeng and the others were very unhappy, they did not dare to raise objections.

　　 The position of elder is usually held by the elders of the patriarch, and the cultivation base must be high enough. The status is not below the patriarch, or even higher, but no matter what, there is no real power.

　　 But Taishang elders have a big right, that is, the patriarch abolished. At this time, the patriarch has not returned, and the elder Taishang temporarily acts as the patriarch, which is reasonable and reasonable.

　　Wang Dao is far from qualified to express his position in front of the elders. This is the rule of the family. In front of the Taishang elders, the elders also have no right to object. This is also a rule.

　　 Watching Wang Shoufeng and the other three people squat, Wang Daoyuan was very happy. Although he is not familiar with this sixth uncle, Wang Shoufeng is still fighting for power at the critical juncture of the family's survival. In this way, the person who is abandoning the public will become the head of the patriarch, and the family will soon be finished.

"Since you don’t have any opinions, the old man has given orders. From today onwards, Zhiren has the full authority to handle all family affairs. When the family is in danger, Shoufeng still has selfish intentions. After thinking behind closed doors at home, he is not allowed to go out without the orders of the old man or the patriarch. .

　　 The other elders guard the foundation of the family well. Preparing for the worst, the old man personally went to Qinglifang City to take Daochang back. If Zhian and Shouye couldn't come back, he would let Daochang take over as the patriarch.

　　 Anyone who serves his own self-interest again, regardless of the survival of the family, will be severely punished. "

　　 Everyone claimed to be.
