“嘶！别卖关子，快点说！”                                                                                                                                “你好像不是姬家之人，能知道什么秘密，还说得这么煞有介事？”                                                                                                                                矮瘦老者越是这样，众人的好奇心就越重，迫不及待想要知道后面的事情。                                                                                                                                甚至几个姬家本族的武者也满脸好奇地打量着此人。                                                                                                                                按捺不住众人的催促，矮瘦老者压低嗓门儿，沉声道：“据我所知，姬家本族之中，大长老的势力和威风，甚至要盖过家主！”                                                                                                                                “什么？”                                                                                                                                “嘶！”                                                                                                                                “怎么可能？”                                                                                                                                “你……你在说什么？”                                                                                                                                “这种话怎么能乱说，得罪了姬家家主和大长老，你还想在三方城里混吗？”                                                                                                                                众人眼角猛跳，大吃一惊！                                                                                                                                姬家的武者们更是咬牙怒斥，对此人大为不满。                                                                                                                                在外人面前，姬家就是一个整体，内部的事务和龃龉且不说是真是假，就算确有其事，又岂容外人来非议？                                                                                                                                然而这矮瘦老者却是毫不在意，摇头嗤笑不止。                                                                                                                                “哼！老夫又不是姬家之人，怕他们作甚？姬家就算再强，又能把我一个散修怎么样？”                                                                                                                                “就算姬家真的有人感到不快，老夫大不了一躲了之，他们还能把三方城掘地三尺不成？”                                                                                                                                矮瘦老者摇头冷笑，仿佛毫无顾忌，眉宇之间隐隐流露出某种快意之色。                                                                                                                                “你是谁，从哪里听来的这种风言风语？”                                                                                                                                “报名来，否则我们姬家人跟你没完！”                                                                                                                                “家主和大长老的威严，岂容你一个外人肆意污蔑？”                                                                                                                                “今天不把话说清楚，别想离开！”                                                                                                                                几个姬家武者挤开众人，虎视眈眈地看着矮瘦老者，仿佛一言不合便要出手镇压。                                                                                                                                “嘿嘿！就你们几个小辈也想跟老夫动手，老夫当年在三方城走动的时候，你们恐怕还没进娘胎里！”                                                                                                                                “混帐！”                                                                                                                                “放肆！”                                                                                                                                “拿下！”                                                                                                                                几个姬家武者脸色一沉，怒而出手，准备强行拿下对方。                                                                                                                                岂料矮瘦老者身形一矮，仿佛一条泥鳅般滑进了人群之中，转眼便消失不见。                                                                                                                                “嘶！好精妙的身法！”                                                                                                                                “这老匹夫至少也是宿命境中期的实力！”                                                                                                                                “不，他的实力应该是宿命境后期！”                                                                                                                                一位姬家的老人摇头一叹，前按下了众人，此人名为姬羽，乃是一位本族的长老。                                                                                                                                “拜见羽长老！”                                                                                                                                “羽长老，那人真的是宿命境后期吗？”                                                                                                                                “羽长老认得那人？”                                                                                                                                众人纷纷施礼，却感到疑惑。                                                                                                                                姬羽皱眉一叹：“数十年前，他曾经在本族效力，但因为一些不愉快的事情，被家主逐出门庭，此后一直心怀不满，故意散布谣言抹黑本族，家族长老几次想将出手治他，奈何他实力不弱，都未能得手。”                                                                                                                                “嘶！原来如此，我就说那个老小子居心不良！”                                                                                                                                “长老怎么不早说，咱们合力出手，难道还不能把他拿下？”                                                                                                                                众人义愤填膺，无比愤怒。                                                                                                                                “很难，除非家族数位长老合力出手，否则以他的本事还真的不好对付，而且若是把他惹急了，吃亏的会是你们这些小辈。”                                                                                                                                姬羽摇头一叹，道出了心中的顾忌。                                                                                                                                众人心头暗凛，惊出一身冷汗。                                                                                                                                “咦？”忽然有人想到了重点。                                                                                                                                “羽长老，那老匹夫说的事情，究竟是真是假？”                                                                                                                                “难道大长老跟家主，真的不合吗？”                                                                                                                                “我们天天在本族中修炼，为何没听说过这种说法？”                                                                                                                                “这件事情，应该是那老匹夫故意抹黑的谣言吧？”                                                                                                                                众人终究年轻，对这家族高层的秘闻大感好奇。                                                                                                                                “闭你们的嘴，不要对家族高层有任何非议！”                                                                                                                                姬羽长老脸色一沉，怒斥众人一句，随即甩手走开。                                                                                                                                众人面面相觑，气氛有些沉闷。                                                                                                                                姬羽长老虽然没正面回答这个问题，但从他讳莫如深的态度来看，这件事情恐怕并没有那么简单！                                                                                                                                众人深深呼吸，隐隐嗅到了某种异样的气息，脑海中呈现出姬家高层暗流汹涌的恐怖画面，一个个冷汗直流，心生惊惧。                                                                                                                                不过，相对于大长老的出场，这里发生的事情只是一个微不足道的小小插曲。                                                                                                                                随着大长老等人的不断走近，几乎整个广场的目光都被吸引。                                                                                                                                大长老一身银袍颇为亮眼，他的身后跟着另外两位家族长老。                                                                                                                                而在他的身旁，则有一位身穿白袍的老者与之并肩迈步，谈笑风生。                                                                                                                                此人目光犀利，面相威严，浑身霸气难掩，显然也是久居高位手掌大权之人。                                                                                                                                他的袍子，还绣有一条条特殊的灵纹，看去仿佛是一条条潜龙蜇伏于山谷之中，昂头望天！                                                                                                                                他们一同走高高的观战台，大长老直接往主位落座。                                                                                                                                按照武道界默认的规则，那个位子本该留给家主来坐，就算家主不来也应该按惯例空出才是。                                                                                                                                可大长老姬恒就这么毫不迟疑地坐了去，连眼皮都没眨一下！                                                                                                                                与他同来的白袍老者脸毫无异色，甚至还向姬恒拱手一笑，随即在旁边的贵宾席位坦然落座。                                                                                                                                二人的视线同时望向前方的擂台，双双落在一身白袍的姬潜身。                                                                                                                                “拜见大长老！”                                                                                                                                审核长老姬向连忙向对方拱手施礼。                                                                                                                                “这就是姬家大长老，怎么直接坐在了家主的位置？”                                                                                                                                姜天微微皱眉，大感诧异。                                                                                                                                这样的规矩，哪怕是下界的小家族和小宗门，也会分得一清二楚。                                                                                                                                堂堂界世家理应是更加讲究，可这位姬家大长老，却毫无异色，一副理所当然的样子。                                                                                                                                姜天皱眉一叹，对此人的印象不由打了些折扣。                                                                                                                                只从这一个小小的细节便能看出，姬家内部恐怕不是铁板一块！                                                                                                                                他扭头望向贵宾席的白袍老者，目光不由微微一凝！                                                                                                                                这个老者，看起来竟然跟姬潜有几分神似，这一老一少显然关系非同一般。                                                                                                                                果然，这个念头刚刚浮现，姬潜便端正身形朝着观战席的方向躬身施礼。                                                                                                                                “晚辈姬潜拜见大长老、拜见父亲大人！”                                                                                                                                “原来如此！”                                                                                                                                姜天缓缓点头，顿时了然于胸。                                                                                                                                这位白袍老者，便是姬潜的父亲，蜇龙谷的谷主，姬伏！                                                                                                                                “免礼！”大长老姬恒大手一挥，点头一笑，似对姬潜大为满意。
