chapter three hundred and eighty second.
The four major families were lined up at the bottom of the valley. The Qiao and Chu families had unwilling anger on their faces, the Hua family had proud smiles, and the expressions of the Lin family were more serious.
However, everyone understands that the chaos is over at this time. As for the final result, it depends on the outcome of the negotiations, and the negotiations are not a matter for the four parties, so everyone is waiting.
"Amitabha!"
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Sure enough, just a few minutes later, two people who looked like land gods suddenly appeared. Even He Dong didn't notice how these two people appeared.
Among these two people, one of them is Master Qingyun, the first Zhike Hall of Shaolin Temple whom He Dong once met. As for the other one, judging from the Taoist robes on his body, he should be from Wudang.
"That's Taoist Chen Deping, the sixth elder of Wudang Mountain. He's even stronger than me. He specializes in handling foreign affairs!" Noticing that He Dong's eyes were focused on the Wudang old man, the ancestor of the Lin family directly introduced him to He Dong.
.
"Hiss! He is actually older and stronger than you!" He Dong couldn't help but gasped after hearing the introduction, thinking to himself, this Shaolin martial artist is indeed the leader of the Chinese martial arts, and his strength is too strong.
After the two people from Shaolin and Wudang appeared, the four ancestors of the four major families stopped hiding and stood up directly, walking towards the open space in the middle together.
Since then, He Dong has truly seen the grace of the ancestors of the four major families. Needless to say, the ancestor of the Lin family has lightning powers and is invincible in attack. The ancestor of the Chu family looks the most kind-hearted and has a peaceful smile. And the ancestor of the Qiao family
Zu is a dark, skinny little old man. At first glance he looks ordinary, but upon closer inspection he becomes even more ordinary. He is even so ordinary that you cannot find him if you throw him into a crowd.
As for the ancestor of the Hua family, what surprised Ho Tung the most was that she was actually a middle-aged young woman who looked like she was only in her thirties or forties. However, Ho Tung knew that among the four ancestors of the major families, the youngest was the ancestor of the Lin family, but she was also
He has lived for more than one hundred and thirty years.
The four ancestors gathered together, together with Master Qingyun and Taoist Master Chen Dexiang, and began to discuss in a low voice. The six of them argued for a while and became red-faced, and then whispered a few words. Master Qingyun and Taoist Master Chen Dexiang
Taoist priest Chen Dexiang would interject a few words from time to time, and the six of them were arguing and negotiating at the same time.
Since the central area is far away from where the four major families are stationed, and the six people consciously controlled their voices, even He Dong could not hear clearly what they were saying. But He Dong knew that they must be
In negotiation.
This negotiation was obviously very difficult. He Dong and the others waited there for a full hour and a half. He Dong noticed that during this hour and a half, the four ancestors almost broke down several times. Even in the end,
The four ancestors all forced smiles on their faces, but the smiles were obviously very bitter, as if the four of them were not satisfied with the results they got in the end.
It is estimated that it was for this reason that everyone compromised in the end. Since none of the four people were satisfied, it was enough to show that this result was the fairest.
"How's it going?" Seeing the ancestor of the Lin family walking back step by step, He Dong couldn't help but ask with concern.
"We barely have a result!" The ancestor of the Lin family nodded, and then took He Dong and the others a few steps back. Only then began to describe the process and results of the negotiation.
The process was just as He Dong saw and thought, extremely difficult. The Qiao family insisted that the jade mine belonged to their Qiao family, while the Chu family believed that since the jade mine was in the northwest, it had to belong to them.
All in all, the Lin family used Ho Tung's matter as an excuse to say that the Qiao family had robbed them by force and wanted an explanation. As for the Hua family, they directly used the righteousness of all martial arts people and said that this jade mine would be the treasure of a powerful country and people, and it must be taken.
Come out and share with everyone.
Because the four families are unwilling to give in, the importance of this jade vein is so great that it can even be said that whoever masters this jade vein will be the future king, overlord, and possibly the only one.
But this kind of uniqueness is definitely not something that each company wants to see. Even Shaolin and Wudang, which are fair, do not want to see a scene where one company is dominant.
Therefore, in the end, everyone discussed dividing the entire jade mine into ten strands, and then fighting for these veins in an arena. As for how to fight this arena, they also discussed it.
And in order to show fairness, the four major families finally negotiated. According to the current legal terms, this mine is in the name of the Qiao family, so the Qiao family is allowed to send ten people to participate in the competition.
The jade vein was "forcibly taken" by the Qiao family from Ho Tung, who was affiliated with the Lin family. However, after all, some compensation had been paid to Ho Tung, so the Lin family was allowed to send nine people to participate in the competition.
The jade mine is located in the Chu family's territory in the northwest, and the Chu family was the first to discover its secrets, so the Chu family can send eight members to fight for the shares of the jade mine.
As for the big principles mentioned by the Hua family, they are actually just strong arguments, but based on the principle of balance, the Hua family can only send seven members.
Moreover, the strength of the members sent by the four major families this time cannot be higher than A level, they cannot intentionally kill people after admitting defeat, they are not allowed to use prohibited thermal weapons, they are not allowed to use poison, etc. There are a lot of regulations.
Since there are a total of thirty-four people participating in the ring, the elimination system will be adopted directly in the first round. Members of the four major families will fight each other, the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will advance.
And in order to reflect the principle of fairness and popularize the interests, this time the competition will not be ranked first or second, but the top ten will be selected. Each person who enters the top ten will get a share of the jade mine for the family he represents.
This means that whichever family ranks among the top ten will hold more shares.
"He Dong, although you are the son-in-law of our Lin family, judging from your development, your future is limitless, and this time, we also participated in the jade mine competition in your name, so this time
Of the nine places, I decided to give you four! Moreover, I guarantee that no matter how many of you enter the top ten and how many shares of jade mine you grab, they will all belong to you." After telling He Dong the entire negotiation process, the ancestor of the Lin family
He suddenly said seriously.
"Ah! This... this won't work! Since I am here today on behalf of the Lin family, I am a member of the Lin family. I can't take this quota!" He Dong said quickly.
"Ho Tung, please don't refuse. This decision of mine is actually the Lin family's decision. From the first time I met you, I have decided that you, Ho Tung, are not a vassal of our Lin family. Our Lin family and you, Ho Tung,
We get along as equals!" The ancestor of the Lin family was quite optimistic about Ho Tung's potential, so he decided to make good friends with Ho Tung at this time, before Ho Tung really took off.
"Ancestor...!" He Dong simply didn't get used to the importance attached to the ancestor of the Lin family. He knew the importance of spirit stones to the four major families, especially what was the purpose of this mobilization of troops. But he didn't.
Thinking that the ancestor of the Lin family was so generous to him, he couldn't help but be deeply moved.
"Don't say any more! I've made up my mind!" the ancestor of the Lin family said firmly.
"Ancestor, I really appreciate your kindness. However, if this jade mine is in the hands of the four major families, it will be a deterrent, because the four major families will rely on this jade mine to take off again, but in my hands, it will be a threat.
Explosive bag!" He Dong saw the situation very clearly, and he also understood the reason why he was guilty of carrying a jade, so he really didn't dare to agree to the Lin family ancestor.
"He Dong, I know what you are afraid of. But don't worry, there is the Lin family behind you. I don't believe that anyone dares to touch my Lin family's son-in-law!" The ancestor of the Lin family said with great momentum.
"Let's see, Ancestor, I want two places for this competition! If both of them can enter the top ten by then, it will be two shares, which will definitely make everyone jealous." He Dong hesitated for a moment.
, said finally.
"This... okay!" The ancestor of the Lin family thought for a moment and finally nodded.
He Dong relayed the information he received from the ancestor of the Lin family in detail to what he had brought to him. When they heard that there was an arena to compete in, everyone was eager to try, but in the end they learned that there were only two places, and there were still
It was so precious that everyone's expressions suddenly became cold and silent.
"Don't put on such a bitter face, you are just a bunch of rubes. I know you think it's not enough to come out without fighting this time. In fact, I tell you, you are really all here this time. Don't you think, watching from the audience
Will the competition between the masters of the four major families broaden your horizons more?" He Dong did not announce who the two quotas would be given to, but directly laughed and cursed.
"Yes, with the importance of the jade mine, the four major families will definitely put in their full efforts. This just gives us an opportunity to observe and learn, and there are not many such opportunities!" He responded quickly and shouted.
"Yes, this is a good opportunity to collect information from various companies!" Monkey's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Well, it's fun to watch. It would be great if we could have some popcorn, melon seeds, potato chips, drinks, etc.!" Guan Xiaoxiao said with a slight regret.
"Haha, I have it here! Not only do I have popcorn, potato chips, melon seeds, but also apples, bananas and more!" Zhao Xinxin suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Wow, Xinxin, you are so kind, give it to me quickly, give it to me quickly!" Guan Xiaoxiao and Fangfang rushed towards Zhao Xinxin together.
Seeing the laughter of his men, He Dong didn't say much, but pulled Tie Jun aside, and then said very seriously, "There are two places in total, one for me, and I will give the other to you. Do you have any?"
Confidence to break into the top ten!”
