Kapitel 148: Look, I've Prepared a Show
Chen Xia really played a trick on the Law Elder.
But it didn't last long. After a while, the Law Elder completely passed out and his breathing became much weaker.
Well, now he couldn't even be considered half-dead. He was more like a quarter-dead.
Chen Xia touched his bald head, shook his head, and smiled. "He's too old. He can't even bear some good news. Alas."
He then waved his hand, signaling Chi Yu and the big yellow dog to take the Law Elder back.
The bird and the dog casually dragged the previous Law Elder on the stretcher and walked out cheerfully. Before leaving, one could still hear the big yellow dog muttering softly.
"Should we just bury this old man? Save him thousands of years of detours."
"That's not good." Chi Yu frowned slightly. "We two dragged him out. If someone finds out, we'll cause trouble for Chen Xia again."
Chi Yu was unusually sober for a while and wasn't influenced by the big yellow dog.
"Then let's send him back to his cave and bury him there. If anyone asks later, we'll say he couldn't bear it and took his own life." The big yellow dog came up with another idea.
"Better not. When I become stronger in the future, I'll just beat him down directly. No need to cause unnecessary trouble." Chi Yu still shook his head.
The big yellow dog didn't come up with any more ideas either. It walked quickly with Chi Yu and left the previous Law Elder at the entrance of his cave.
Before leaving, the big yellow dog didn't forget to make a "V" sign gesture for the previous Law Elder.
In the Great Heavens, this gesture represented happiness and joy.
The celebration for Chen Xia's taking office was almost over. After the disciples saluted him, they left one after another.
What remained was to greet the other elders and learn about his duties at the same time.
Just from the title "Law Elder", one could tell the importance of Chen Xia's position.
The main responsibility was to manage the rules of the Heavenly Sword Sea.
When it came to the rules of the Heavenly Sword Sea, it was actually quite interesting. That was, there were basically no written rules.
If a disciple had an issue and wanted to sue an elder, then the six Law Elders would discuss together and decide who was right and who was wrong.
If you could defeat the other five Law Elders by yourself, then there was actually no need for discussion.
This was the rule of the Heavenly Sword Sea. To put it bluntly, strength was the top priority.
It was also the rule of the entire Great Heavens.
However, it was indeed a bit strange that a sect still followed such primitive rules.
Chen Xia couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, thinking it was right.
After all, not everyone was as respectful to the elders and polite as he was.
The elders' introductions to each other continued. The elders without titles showed more respect to Chen Xia, after all, they were indeed one rank lower than him.
Those with titles were on an equal footing with Chen Xia and spoke casually. They were very enthusiastic towards Chen Xia, this young man with a promising future, and even invited Chen Xia to visit their palaces.
The elders at a higher level, like the Third Elder and others, also came to see Chen Xia.
When enemies met, their eyes burned with hatred. The Third Elder's expression was gloomy, and he said in a low voice.
"You won't always be so lucky!"
"Indeed." Chen Xia nodded, agreeing with a smile. "I'll be even luckier."
After all, he could add some luck.
"Hehe." The Third Elder smiled expressionlessly, didn't say much more, and turned around and left.
The celebration for Chen Xia's taking office was considered over. His name was recorded in the official history of the sect and could be consulted by later generations.
The Heavenly Sword Sea prepared a special palace for the Law Elder for Chen Xia, but Chen Xia refused. It was too empty, and he wasn't used to living in it. It wasn't interesting at all.
It was better to stay in his original cave. At least it was familiar.
The Heavenly Sword Sea didn't say anything about it. They kept the palace for Chen Xia, and he could come back to live in it whenever he wanted.
The Law Elder actually didn't have much to do and wasn't busy at all. Chen Xia thought about it and felt it was normal.
Because most of the disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sea were usually cultivating on their own and didn't cause trouble, so there was naturally no need for laws.
Even if there was trouble, it was usually minor matters between them, and they could solve it by discussing with each other.
The position of the Law Elder became rather awkward. They didn't need to take care of minor matters, and they couldn't handle major ones.
For example, the matter of Chen Xia taking Qiong Qi's head. Which Law Elder could handle that?
It was only after the higher-ups discussed for a long time that the punishment was decided.
So Chen Xia, as the Law Elder, was really idle. Every day, he just stayed in his cave, playing chess and reading some idle books borrowed from the Heavenly Pavilion.
When it was really boring, he would go out for a walk and sit in the pavilion.
Day after day.
Whether it was boring or monotonous.
Anyway, Chen Xia thought it was okay. He wasn't an impatient person in the first place and liked this kind of leisurely life.
Occasionally, the big yellow dog would come out from the sword forest, saying that it wanted to play chess with Chen Xia. In fact, it was just two bad chess players competing.
It was still the old routine, starting with moving the "horse" at the beginning.
When the trend of playing chess was popular before, there was actually a rule among the disciples that moving the "horse" at the beginning was not allowed.
But there was never such a rule between Chen Xia and the big yellow dog.
The reason was simple.
"I don't have a mother." The big yellow dog smiled proudly.
"I'm pretty much the same." Chen Xia's tone had a hint of sadness, but not much.
Time had already washed away his sadness.
It was precisely because neither the person nor the dog had principles that their chess games were especially intense.
A chessboard, only a few inches in size, with a total of thirty-two pieces and tens of thousands of possible moves.
But they didn't get tired of playing it for hundreds of years.
Perhaps it depended on who you were playing with. What was interesting had never been the chess itself.
Chi Yu appeared less and less often. He was mostly cultivating. He was different from Chen Xia and the big yellow dog. He had his own goal.
Leading the ethnic group to prosperity was always what Chi Yu talked about, and he was indeed working hard for it.
That was also quite good.
Chen Xia and the big yellow dog, the two idle people, would occasionally envy Chi Yu.
"Don't you have any goals?" Chen Xia would ask the big yellow dog during casual conversations.
"Really not." The big yellow dog shook its head. Having lived through two great eras, it just couldn't think of any goals for itself.
If it had to say one, it was probably just to stay alive.
From this point of view, it had achieved this goal quite well. The trees outside the sword forest couldn't live as long as it did.
"What about you?" The big yellow dog would ask in return.
"Uh..." Chen Xia thought for a while, touched his head. "Just stay alive. Could it be that I should go and die?"
"And there are still some things I'm reluctant to part with, and some people I haven't seen yet.
"Well, I hope I can see them."
The big yellow dog grinned. "Haha, it seems that you live a more interesting life than me."
"Have you really just watched the sword gate for two great eras and had no experiences at all?" Chen Xia was a bit curious.
"Yeah." The big yellow dog nodded. "Because I'm afraid of dying, I haven't gone anywhere. I've always stayed at the entrance of the sword forest, like a stone."
"Over the years, only you have paid attention to me, this stone."
The big yellow dog lowered its head a little, its ears drooping, and said softly again.
"If it weren't for you, I might have rotted and stunk at the entrance of the sword forest, just like those stones I saw."
"Can stones stink?" Chen Xia asked curiously.
"Yes." The big yellow dog nodded. "The ones in the latrine can."
Chen Xia was stunned for a moment.
This really fit its character in its remarks.
