Chapter 33: fight
Jia family, the main pavilion.
"It's not good, please report to the old patriarch, Young Master Jinsheng, something happened to Young Master Jinsheng." A spiritual master broke into the hall, knelt on the ground, and reported out of breath.
Since ancient times, beauties lament their old age, and heroes are not allowed to grow old.
The hero is dying, just like the towering ancient tree that is withering day by day, and like the remaining candle swaying in the wind.
The old patriarch of the Jia family who was lying on the bed was already over seventy years old. In addition, he was seriously ill and his body was broken. He no longer looked like a vigorous and powerful man like before. Only on the cheeks stained by time, the shadow of the past can barely be seen.
Hearing the news at this time, he stood up slowly. There was no change in expression on the wrinkled face of the old patriarch of the Jia family, as if the things he talked about could not affect his emotions at all. "What else could happen in our own cottage? Please tell us in detail about Jin Sheng's situation."
The patriarch is worthy of being the patriarch. His emotions and anger are invisible and completely unpredictable. However, it's also because Jia Jinsheng is really a loser who can't hold up the wall, so he doesn't care, right?
The spiritual master who reported it lowered his head and thought.
There was no way to hide the fact that Jia Jinsheng had Ding's qualifications. Everyone in the village knew about this matter. Especially in his twenties, he is still a waste with a first-level cultivation, which is simply a shame to Jiajiazhai.
However, because the head of the Jia family protected Jia Jinsheng very well, few people in the village openly made fun of him. In the village, Jia Jinsheng still had some dignity.
Although the Jia family spiritual master who came to report looked down upon Jia Jinsheng, a waste of first-level cultivation, he did not dare to make a mistake when faced with a powerful fifth-level master like the old patriarch of the Jia family.
Even if the other party is seriously ill, a sick tiger is still a tiger after all!
"Young Master Jinsheng wanted to leave the village, but was unwilling to cooperate with the guard inspection. The guard leader enforced the law impartially, but Young Master Jinsheng shouted that my father was the clan leader and refused to cooperate. More and more people were watching this incident, and it looked bad. It's over. Master Jia Gui arrived later to smooth things over and chased away the guards who didn't know their dignity. But..."
"But what, say!"
Hearing this, the old patriarch shouted lowly. Although he had been ill in bed for a long time, the power of the tiger was still there. The fifth-level aura came towards him, like the pressure of a mountain, making the spiritual master below couldn't help but tremble violently and sweat profusely.
"But, but, even if Master Jia Gui takes action, the guard leader is unwilling to compromise. He insists that it is Master Jin Sheng who does not abide by the rules. Under the decree issued by the patriarch, he openly defies their execution and has evil intentions. So. , for the peace and stability of the village, Young Master Jinsheng must pay the price and uphold the clan rules. Moreover, the guard leader personally launched a gambling fight with Young Master Jinsheng!"
If he loses, he will pay Master Jinsheng a thousand yuan stones and a second-turn spiritual insect. But after all, Young Master Jinsheng is your flesh and blood, the patriarch, so you cannot treat him equally. Therefore, he said that if Young Master Jinsheng loses, he only needs to admit what the guard leader said, apologize in public, and promise to make amends. He then forgave Master Jin Sheng for his rude behavior. "
Although Southern Xinjiang does not value strength as much as Northern Xinjiang. However, no matter which world or place, only the strong can be respected, and the weak have no seat of their own.
And gambling is one of the ways to show strength at a very small cost.
Gambling, commonly known as spirit fighting, is a gambling method unique to the spiritual world.
The most common thing is that the spiritual masters of both sides use the spiritual insects in their hands to attack each other. The side that cannot hold on first is considered to have lost the duel. Because you cannot dodge during the spirit fight, you can only be beaten on the spot and use your own defensive spirit insects to resist, so it is also a particularly high-risk duel.
As for other methods of fighting spirits, there are also some, such as detection and treatment. But the most common ones are the ones above. Because those who fight spirits are basically malicious towards the other party, so they naturally want to take this opportunity to make the other party pay a greater price.
Without even thinking about it, the old patriarch of the Jia family knew that this must be the idea of his two sons, Jia Fu or Jia Gui. The purpose is to anger Jia Jinsheng and stimulate him to gamble. Let Jia Jinsheng be exposed as a coward and incompetent and lose face in front of his tribe. In this way, Jia Jinsheng would no longer have the face to inherit the Jia family's property.
Although Jia Jinsheng only had a first-level cultivation level, he had great ambitions. This was obvious to everyone in the Jia family and gave the old patriarch of the Jia family a headache.
He is really vicious. If he refuses in person, his cowardly and cowardly attitude will be seen by the clan, and he will surely lose his dignity in the family, right? The result is indistinguishable from failure.
If he accepts it and gets injured and fails in the spirit fight, the situation will only get worse. Exposed weakness will attract more challengers.
Even the clan leader cannot directly interfere with this kind of behavior, and there is no way to prohibit the clan members from fighting spirits.
Just like the people in the North Plains would engage in marriage snatching for beautiful women, the people in the Southern Xinjiang would engage in soul fighting for the distribution of resources.
A common spirit-fighting bet is that the winner gets part of the loser's property and redistributes resources.
To a certain extent, it was a tacit approval of the family spiritual masters' struggle to a certain extent. Strong people should get more resources, while weak people can't keep their property, so they have no choice but to give it up.
Only in this way can the spiritual masters have a sense of crisis, try to avoid the emergence of playboys, and the family can be rejuvenated.
Everything is for the strength of the entire family!
The old patriarch of the Jia family knew clearly that Jia Fu and Jia Gui did not intend to give Jia Jinsheng any of their property, and their malicious intentions were obvious, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
These little guys are really restless, and they can't even tolerate their own brothers.
The old patriarch of the Jia family snorted coldly. Although Jia Jinsheng had low qualifications, he was the most like his son after all, and he had been favored by him since he was a child. Now he is not dead yet, and these little guys want to do something to their flesh and blood.
However, it is good that after fighting with spirits, Jinsheng can realize the fact that he is only a first-turn spirit master. No longer shouting nonsense like thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor young people all day long.
Can your fate be changed by shouting slogans?
Ding-level qualifications are Ding-level qualifications. A lifetime of achievements may not necessarily make you a second-turn spirit master. People have to recognize themselves.
Recognize the reality as soon as possible, give up the fight for the family property, and become a rich man. This is the best solution for Jinsheng.
The old patriarch of the Jia family thought for a while and said, "Let these boys behave themselves. Jia Jinsheng is my son and their brother after all. If they do anything out of line, don't blame me for being ruthless
