Chapter 128 The Second Saint
Building 3, Xiangshan Villa.
This is a very large secret room, located more than ten meters deep in the basement of the villa building, about nearly 300 square meters. There is a huge piece of white carved jade hanging in the middle of the secret room, with a large word "holy" engraved in the middle. Under a few rays of light, it shines with a serious and holy light.
More than a dozen old men, dressed in neat white clothes, sat cross-legged in front of the holy jade, forming a circle and closely surrounding the holy jade. In addition to the old, dozens of people in black gathered into a larger circle, surrounding the old people in white. In such a cycle, more than a hundred people were surrounded into four large circles. The upright holy jade was like a white lotus flower wrapped in layers but fragrant. Under the light, it flashed with a little cold light.
Several old men in white sitting in the middle are more than a dozen elders of the Holy Gate. The three leaders who control the Shenglong Group, in addition to Guan Minqing, are also gathered here. According to the status of the Holy Gate, it is the saint and the left and right guardians who are in charge of the Holy Dragon Group. Guan Minqing did not have time to come back, and the two guardians are waiting on the periphery of the guardian circle. Looking at Guan Yani coming from Shanshan, there were completely different expressions on everyone's faces.
"Yani, you must think about it before making a decision." Mr. Yun, who followed Guan Yani, solemnly reminded again that he ranked second in the Presbyterian Association and had a high prestige among the holy disciples.
"Second Grandpa, don't worry, I have fully considered it." There was no expression on Guan Yani's face, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
Yun Lao grew up watching Guan Yani. He knew that once her surname was stubborn, it was impossible to change. He sighed and said, "Then you prepare for it. The lucky time is coming." After saying that, he walked back to the elder circle and sat down in his own position.
Guan Yani looked cold, and her expressionless eyes swept over everyone present. Here are all her elders and her former relatives, but Guan Yani has no feeling at all in her heart. She is numb. He didn't come, and even his aunt didn't come back. Now no one helps him. Everything depends on himself.
The familiar and strange face flashed in Guan Yani's mind. When he was unconscious, she looked at him every day. Although she could not talk to him, she had an unprecedented calmness and satisfaction. But when he was awake, he didn't know why he was always cold to him. Maybe only that cold expression could hide some kind of panic in his heart.
Guan Yani's beautiful eyes closed gently, that's all. Maybe this is God's doomed fate for me, so that I can't even find a reason to fight. The long eyelashes trembled, and two crystal tears slowly dripped from her clear eyes.
"Yani--" A slow male voice sounded in her ear.
Guan Yani opened her beautiful eyes coldly, and her cold eyes gently swept over the face so similar to her, and a trace of laughter appeared at the corners of her mouth: "What's the matter? Guan Zuo Hufa?
Looking at his only daughter from afar, a bitter smile flashed on his face and said, "Yani, it's this time. Don't you forgive me? I am your father, and you are my blood. This is a fact that no one can change.
Guan Yani sneered and said, "Please don't raise your identity. My father died at the moment my mother died. Do you understand, Guan Zuo Hufa?"
Care Yuan sighed and said, "I've always felt guilty about your mother. I know you won't forgive me. But as a father, I sincerely hope that my daughter can be happy. Although you have been trained as a saint since you were a child, no one will force you to do what you don't want to do. The saint is just a beautiful halo. Behind the halo is a lifetime of loneliness. You must think carefully. Minqing is your role model.
"I don't allow you to say that, auntie!" Guan Yani shouted, "Auntie is a great person. She worked hard for the sake of this family and the group, and even gave up the happiness of her life. And you, when you need you most, abandon your wife and children to pursue the flower world you want. What right do you have to ridicule your aunt? My aunt is the greatest woman in the world. I will definitely be a successful woman like her.
Yani, who cares about the foresight, looked excited and continued to persuade. A man who approached slowly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, the young man's goal is far-reaching, and the virtuous virtuous niece also has her own pursuit. We can't force it too much."
Care Yuan sighed and said, "I can do it. I'm just a daughter. If she really wants to become a saint, her life will be ruined."
Yin Nengcheng smiled and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Speaking of which, I am the one who doesn't want my virtuous niece to take this step. Our family has grown up with Yani since she was a child. It can be said that she is a childhood sweetheart. I have been looking forward to Yani becoming our daughter-in-law. Alas, now it seems that I don't have this blessing. But I'm also open-sighted. Maybe the virtuous niece will make such a choice with unique vision. Maybe you will still enjoy her happiness!"
Guan Yani looked at Yin Nengcheng's performance coldly, and her eyes seemed to be as cold as ice: "Yin Right Guardian, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for your promotion, I really couldn't make up my mind to take over my aunt's shift. Speaking of which, you are also a great hero of the Holy Gate. But in this way, I'm afraid some of your attempts will fail.
Yin Nengcheng said with a few laughs, "Where is the virtuous niece? I am the right guardian of the Holy Gate, and I am loved by the elders to run the Shenglong Group together with Xinyuan brothers and Minqing. I am really grateful for the support and love of the elders and brothers. As a member of the Holy Gate, it is a natural thing to think about the Holy Gate. As long as the Holy Gate needs it, I will not hesitate to let me go through fire and water.
A sneer appeared on Guan Yani's face and sarcastically said, "If Yin You Hufa can return the other retail shares of Shenglong Group, I can't really admire you."
Yin Nengcheng smiled and said, "Where is this? In fact, everyone misunderstood me. I also bought those scattered shares to concentrate the scattered forces to strengthen our Shenglong Group, which did not violate the original regulations. Yes, my current shares exceed that of Brother Xinyuan and Minqing, but I don't have more than half of them. As long as the Presbyterian Orders, I promise to return all the shares unconditionally in accordance with the signed agreement. Besides, these shares belong to the Holy Lord, and we just keep them temporarily. As long as the Holy Lord appears, we have to return our shares to his old man.
Yin Nengcheng's acquisition of retail shares did take advantage of the flaws in the regulations formulated by the Presbyterian Association. Now even if everyone suspects that he is ambitious, there is nothing he can do. In the case of the late appearance of the Holy Lord, in order to save the Holy Dragon, Guan Yani had no choice but to sacrifice her life's happiness and let the elders redistribute the equity. In this way, coupled with Guan Minqing's shares, the two can own more than half of the equity.
This is also the last resort for Guan Yani and Guan Minqing, because everyone knows that the Holy Lord has not appeared for hundreds of years. Once this choice is made, it is equivalent to sacrificing a lifetime of happiness. Guan Minqing has had enough of this feeling. Of course, she doesn't want her niece to take this old road.
Unfortunately, things backfired. Many things have long been doomed. When Guan Minqing cried with joy to find the Holy Lord, Guan Yani was suffering.
"The auspicious time has come!" Yun Lao woke up Guan Yani, who was meditating. Her heart tightened inexplicably, but her eyes involuntarily aimed at the door. It was empty, and it felt cold to the bone. Although Guan Yani had already prepared, she couldn't help rolling two bean-sized tears on her cheeks.
"Yani, don't do stupid things!" Yin Yiping, who followed Yin Nengcheng, said anxiously that the baby in front of him was about to become someone else's person. Yin Yiping, who had already regarded Guan Yani as forbidden by himself, was naturally unwilling.
Guan Yani turned away with a blank face and never looked at anyone again.
"Yani--" Yin Yiping shouted and was about to chase him. Yin Neng grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?"
Yin Yiping said urgently, "Dad, you can't let Yani--"
"Stupid--" Yin Nengcheng scolded angrily, "How can a great man be dragged down by a woman?"
Seeing the depression on Yin Yiping's face, Yin Neng calmed down and said, "Think about it with your brain. As long as our business succeeds, she is an empty-shell saint. Isn't she what you want?"
In a word, Yin Yiping suddenly opened up. Yes, as long as the big thing can be achieved, Yani will do what she wants at that time? Looking at Guan Yani's distant back, a greedy look flashed in Yin Yiping's eyes.
Guan Yani changed into a pure white dress, and the long back skirt was respectfully held in the hands of two beautiful girls, and she came gracefully in the company of the two maids. The plain face does not apply fat powder, and the crystal skin is as white as the jade hanging in the middle, and the beautiful figure is like a blooming hibiscus in clear water, exuding a suffocating beauty.
All the disciples were shocked by her beauty. Countless pairs of eyes stared at her, caring, admiring, pitying, greedy, and all kinds of eyes gathered on her.
Guan Yani's eyes are not bright, staring at the holy jade in an empty way, and her life will be as holy and lonely as this beautiful jade.
Guan Yani slowly walked to Sheng Yuzheng. An old man with white hair in the inner circle stood up, looked at her kindly and said, "Yani, are you ready?"
Guan Yani woke up from her distraction and glanced around. Countless eyes stared at her closely. She nodded slowly and said, "Senior, I'm ready."
The elder stroked his white beard and nod, "Then come to me." Guan Yani moved a few steps and slowly approached him. The elder's wrinkled face showed a kind smile and shouted, "Guan Yani, I hope you can answer me sincerely in every word I ask now." He used the true spirit of the inner house, and his voice could be heard everywhere in the empty hall.
Guan Yani nodded slightly, and the elder asked with a serious expression, "Are you willing to make your life's efforts for the glorious holy gate?" Is it unyielding to live and die?"
Guan Yani nodded gently and said firmly, "Yes, I do."
"Are you willing to defend the Holy Gate and the Holy Lord with your life and dignity?"
Guan Yani said in a low voice, "Yes, I do."
"Are you willing to give everything to the Lord and sacrifice your life for him to become your master?"
Two crystal tears fell from Guan Yani's beautiful eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled gently: "I-wish-mean!" Three words slowly popped out of her mouth, as if she had exhausted all her strength. Say goodbye to the beautiful girl's dream and the gradually gray shadow in her heart.
The elder nodded with satisfaction and nodded to Mr. Yun. Mr. Yun immediately sang loudly, "Bye God!"
Guan Yani slowly knelt on the ground, her face was full of tears, and she kowtowed gently.
"Worship the land!" Worship the Lord!" Guan Yani kowtowed gently, and Yun Lao gently helped her up. The elder slowly stretched out his palm, gently pressed it on her head, and said solemnly, "The ancestors of the Holy Gate are above. Guan Yani, the female disciple, is the 40th generation of the Holy Gate. I hope she will work with the previous generation of saints to revitalize the Holy Gate and welcome the Holy Lord!"
Hundreds of people shouted neatly: "Revitalize the Holy Gate and welcome the Holy Lord! Revitalize the Holy Gate and welcome the Holy Lord!"
The elder said solemnly, "From now on, Guan Yani is the 40th saint of this family!" The elder and Mr. Yun took the lead in kneeling down and shouting, "Welcome the forty generations of saints!" The rest of the disciples also knelt down and saluted together, "Welcome the forty generations of saints!"
Guan Yani raised her hands and said solemnly, "Please get up, elders and brothers." When the salute was over, the elder looked at the elders around and said, "Presbyterians, pay attention!"
The elders present here put their hands together, accompanied by Yun Lao's "Kaisheng". All the elders carried their whole body skills and attacked the holy jade standing in the middle from different directions around.
The elders of the Holy Gate have been practicing for many years, and the power of everyone's joint attack is unparalleled, and all the strength hits the jade together. The originally crystal clear jade immediately turned red like a morning glow. With the increase of everyone's skills, the redness became more and more intense, until the end, the whole piece of jade was like a red-burning iron sheet. The scorching temperature made the disciples with shallower skills around them sweat all over, as if they had been drenched with water.
When the temperature reached its peak, the top of the holy jade was like a flame of dazzling red light, and the whole holy jade was like a huge red torch on the chassis.
"Congratulations to the saint!" The elders shouted together, and Guan Yani's toes were gentle, like a fairy in the world, flying straight to the holy jade.
The elders violently urged their skills, and the red holy jade suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, covering Guan Yani, who was flying in the air.
Guan Yani's body stood still in the air under the support of everyone's power, and her body shrouded in red light flashed with a seductive luster. It's strange to say that the temperature is so high. Although Guan Yani's white clothes were dyed red, they were not damaged at all.
Guan Yani, who was in the air, closed her eyes tightly, as if she had lost all consciousness. The elders sitting around looked serious one by one. Such a pulp washing process had to be carried out once in 20 years, and the process in the middle was extremely difficult.
Holy jade is originally a very cold thing, which is suitable for the saint who practices the phoenix introduction formula. However, if there is only cold air, with the deepening of power, the cold air becomes heavier and heavier, and it is difficult for anyone to resist the invasion of the cold air of holy jade. Therefore, it is necessary to gather the skills of the elders, so that the hot air constantly drives away the cold air to ensure the washing of the marrow. It goes smoothly.
This kind of marrow washing takes two hours, and finally it takes three days to enter the holy pool to succeed. The process is extremely dangerous and a little careless. The person who is given has the worry of life. However, for the sake of the inheritance of the saints of the Holy Gate, there are still countless saints who prefer to bear this pain to complete the ideal in their hearts.
Yin Neng looked at everything in front of him with a pale face. He had planned everything, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by this little girl. What's more, he didn't expect that this girl was as stubborn as her aunt. She would rather sacrifice the happiness of her life than be the savior of the Holy Dragon Group and the Holy Gate.
"Are you ready?" He looked at Yin Yiping next to him quietly. Yin Yiping nodded and said, "I'm ready. When Yani enters the holy pool, it will also be the weakest time for the elders. At that time, we will definitely be hit by one blow."
Yin Lengcheng looked at the concern not far away with a smile. Guan Minqing could not come back in time. The elders were in the key stage of washing Guan Yani's marrow. At least half of the rest were their own people. This time, they must succeed.
As time went by, the red heat of Shengyu gradually faded, and the red light covering Guan Yani's body also changed from dim to bright and then darkened. Her skin became more and more crystal clear, as if she had just taken a milk bath, and her bright eyes flashed faintly like stars in the night.
Guan Yani slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the elders. Her red lips gently opened and said, "Thank you, elders." The huge power consumption made the elders extremely weak. The elder gasped a few breaths, the sweat on his forehead rolled down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Open the holy pool and invite the saint to enter the holy pool!"
The huge Jieyu slowly turned, revealing a wide but bottomless warm pool on the ground. The white fog rose from the edge of the pool and gradually filled the whole hall.
"Please invite the saint into the pool!" All the disciples shouted together.
A strange feeling rose in Guan Yani's heart, as if a vital person in her life was coming. She slowly shook her head and sighed gently. She was about to fall into the pool with her toes. Suddenly, a clear voice came from the door and said, "Slow down!"
