Xie Yuan stood in front of the ancestral hall. Since he was the protagonist today, he stood at the front of the crowd.
First of all, he has a special status. He is the left-behind heir of the former family head and grand master Xie Xuan and the nephew of the current family Xie Yi;
Secondly, he was found by Xie Yi himself. , although there is no advertising world, but it is also very popular within the clan. Grand;
Thirdly, although it is not stated clearly, the speed of gossip has always been better than that of Flying General and faster than Qiufeng Louzhu. Most everyone knows who he pretended to be and who he was teasing some time ago. In Wan Yao The mountains moved vertically and horizontally, destroying the devil's conspiracy.
The younger generation of the Xie family originally paid special attention to Yao Tianchuan's performance in Wanyao Mountain and discussed it a lot. But when they found out that Yao Tianchuan was a member of their own family, they became even more enthusiastic.
Therefore, whether those who came to witness the ceremony today were required or spontaneous, it is not an exaggeration to say that there was a huge crowd of people, letting Xie Yuan know what a "big" family is.
Being the protagonist on such a grand and solemn occasion, Xie Yuan stood in front of the crowd, but he didn't feel too uncomfortable. He has experienced a lot between life and death, and his determination is far stronger than many children from aristocratic families here who have never experienced any real hardships. Many people can't help but look at him from behind, secretly admiring him. It is indeed a bit unusual. It's the father's style.
Xie Yuanzheng lowered his head slightly and talked politely with an elder next to him. Although he still didn't know who his uncle was, it didn't stop him from nodding respectfully, letting the old man stroke his beard and smile, thinking that although he grew up in the mountains, he knew how to respect the elderly.
At this moment, Xie Yi walked out of the deep ancestral hall and walked to the steps.
The open space in front of the ancestral hall accommodated hundreds of Xie clan members. At this time, they all became quiet at the same time, and their expressions became solemn.
The most important moment has arrived.
You could hear needles dropping in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and the air became a little stagnant.
Under such an atmosphere, many younger members of the Xie family even felt a little nervous for Xie Yuan. Even Xie Yuan himself was also affected, his appearance straightened and he became solemn.
Xie Yi stood on the steps, lowered his head slightly, looked down at Xie Yuan in front of him, and said nothing for a long time.
This silence lasted for too long, even making many tribesmen a little surprised and uneasy. However, in this atmosphere, they did not dare to talk and ask questions.
The old man next to Xie Yuan frowned and moved his lips slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Xie Yi let out a long sigh, and his majestic and solemn voice resounded through the ancestral hall:
"As a result of blood recognition, the clan members Let’s prove it together.”
The jade bowl he held in his hand moved, and the red liquid inside floated to the level of his eyebrows.
He was standing on the steps, and now all the Xie family members present saw the ball of red blood, which was harmonious and harmonious, with no barriers at all.
Xie Yi announced slowly:
"Xie Yuan is indeed a member of my Xie clan. Recognition of ancestors and return to the clan has been completed successfully."
No one cheered for this. After all, this is an ancestral hall and they dare not make a loud noise, but many people let out a sigh of relief. look.
The uncle next to Xie Yuan smiled and said:
"Xie Yuan, congratulations on finally returning to the family. Your father is alive in heaven, he will be very happy."
Xie Yuan bowed his hands respectfully and said:
"This is the honor of this junior."
Xie Yi also smiled on the steps:
"Xie Yuan, now you will officially return to our Chenjun Xie family and become the Xie family's One of them.
“Let’s go! On such an important day, you all should go to Shanlang Xiaozhu now. The family banquet has been prepared. ”
Xie Yuan nodded and followed everyone towards the small building on the mountain corridor. He didn’t recognize many people here, and he couldn’t find the way.
Some of my uncles and other elders were a little puzzled, as there seemed to be something missing from the ceremony, but when the head of the family Xie Yi spoke, they just kept everything simple and left the ancestral hall in a moment.
Xie Yi stood on the steps without moving. After everyone left, he turned around and entered the ancestral hall again.
In the depths of the ancestral hall, an old man who looked like a scholar wearing a tortoiseshell mirror held a thick book and said slowly:
"Master, you forgot to give Xie Yuan Go up to the genealogy.”
Xie Yi looked at the booklet, paused, and said:
"There is no rush today."
Looking at the old scholar's inquiring expression, he added:
"Let him be clear first, and then enter the family tree."
The old scholar nodded slowly.
It's just that there is something strange in his heart. He didn't say that before.
He watched Xie Yi put down the jade bowl, turned around and left the ancestral hall, raised the tortoiseshell mirror and squinted to look.
There is no drop of liquid in the jade bowl, it has all been evaporated.
......
Shanlang Xiaozhu is a small courtyard on the hill next to the Xie family's mansion.
The hill next to Chen County is also within the scope of Xie's ancestral home.
The small courtyard is built on a ridge in the middle of the mountain, with a shallow mountain stream next to it. It faces a gentle sloping forest valley and overlooks the city plain. The scenery is broad and interesting.
After three rounds of drinking at the banquet, Xie Yuan, as the protagonist, was already tipsy. He wondered why there were so many people in the Xie family?
One drink per person, not to mention that he is only at the eighth level of Dajinhe Gong, even at the 18th level he is probably drunk.
However, the elder has finished paying respects, and the person he is talking to now is one of the people he is most familiar with in the Xie family, Xie Wei, who also fought against the Fire Envoy in Ten Thousand Monster Mountain.
Xie Wei touched the copper bottle with him, drank it in one gulp, and then said happily:
"Haha, you are such a good boy. I also know that Chenxing of the Yao family is so extraordinary. He roamed the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and killed the Burning Fire Envoy. Although his cultivation level is not high, his performance is impressive. Even Cui Lei and Wang Qiwen admired it and secretly valued it. , but it’s a pity that his surname is Yao.
“It turned out to be my brother! Haha, the Yao family doesn’t know what kind of virtue it is to be angry! "
Xie Yuan said politely:
"Where, there is no four, uh, six..."
"Fifth cousin. ”
Xie Wei reminded.
"...Without the concerted efforts of Wei Ge and other colleagues, it would be impossible to kill the Fire Maker."
Xie Yuan recalled it and said with emotion:
"Really at stake."
Xie Wei looked deeply and nodded:
"Indeed, the Zao Cult's strength has always been very terrifying. The longer it remains dormant, the more worrying it becomes."
The Xie clan members are most deeply touched by this.
Xie Xuan, the youngest grand master at that time, led his family's magic weapons and three grand masters of King Cui's family to besiege the saint. As a result, he died on the spot and the saint walked away. That battle not only broke the hearts of all the warriors in the world, but also the Xie family, in the chaos of war, started an imperfect plan to survive the bloodline overnight, the consequences of which are still affecting today.
“But you are also very powerful.”
Xie Wei patted Xie Yuan and smiled:
"You are so young, your cultivation level is so high, and what is even more rare is that your cultivation level cannot reflect your strength. Although we are also proud of our genius, and often exert combat power that exceeds our cultivation level, it is not a problem, but people like you are still Rare.
"He is worthy of being the only son of the late family master. He is extremely talented and must be considered a peerless genius!" ”
Xie Wei drank a few glasses of wine, his face was red, and he and Xie Yuan had a friendship, and the flattery was almost loud.
Xie Yuan was about to be humble again, I saw Xie Wei frowning again and said with a smile:
"But those who have seen you know your style, but those who have only heard about you may not. Many brothers and sisters in the clan are looking forward to fighting with you. ”
"Ah?" As your reputation grows and you are a new member of the family, everyone wants to know whether you are worthy of living in such a big house alone.
"Although the Xie family has a big business and a lot of geniuses, they never have enough. of. A top prodigy can use more than ten elite disciples combined.
"Xie Yuan, the treatment given to you by the head of the family is the best. Starting next month, other brothers and sisters will have to compete with each other to ensure the previous treatment. They also want to know how much it is worth. Not worth it.”
Xie Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"No problem, we are welcome to compete with fellow clansmen at any time, just click as far as you want."
"They may not click as far as possible."
< br>Xie Wei reminded him vaguely.
Xie Yuan smiled:
"I mean I will order until the end."
The banquet dispersed, and before Xie Yi returned to his residence, he passed by a small courtyard where chickens and rabbits were raised.
Looking at the lights inside, Xie Yi shook his head slightly and walked in.
Bang bang bang——
He knocked on the study door and heard an unexpected question:
"Who? It's so late..."
"Lingyun'er, it's me."
Xie Yi said.
The sound of Xisuo's footsteps sounded, and with a creak, Xie Lingyun opened the door, looked at Xie Yi, and whispered:
"Dad, it's so late, why are you here?"
"See you still have the lamp burning, come and take a look."
Xie Yi walked into the study and saw two rabbits on the big table with some broken leaves on the table. He couldn't help but smile and said:
< br>"This rabbit seems to have grown up?"
"The rabbit will always grow up."
Xie Lingyun said dullly.
Xie Yi was startled and sighed.
Xie Lingyun pursed her lips and asked:
"Dad, is your family banquet just over?"
"Yes. If you don't come at all, others still say What's wrong with you?"
Xie Yi sighed. "Lost in love."
Xie Lingyun said in a muffled voice.
Xie Yi hesitated for a moment, glared and raised his voice:
"What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!"
"That's right, hum."
Xie Lingyun pouted:
“It’s rare to find someone you like, but it turns out to be your own brother. Who can bear this!
“Dad, are you admitting your mistake? "
She said with some reluctance.
Xie Yi frowned, but was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
Xie Lingyun looked at it, and a light of hope suddenly burst out in his eyes:
"Dad, did you really make a mistake? He didn't recognize his ancestor and return to the clan today?"
Xie Yi came back to his senses and glanced She glanced at him:
"Stop dreaming, the family dinner has been held. What do you think the result will be?"
Xie Lingyun's face suddenly fell, and she was speechless.
Xie Yi hesitated for a moment, then sighed, shook his head and said:
"Lingyun'er, don't think about it, it's impossible for you. It's better to get along with each other as brother and sister as soon as possible. Xie Yuan has been back for so long, no Talk about your friendship of life and death together, you As a sister, I shouldn’t have even met him.”
Xie Lingyun bit her lip and said:
“Are you telling me this so late?”
Xie Yi said with a straight face:
"What else? Don't let your little girl think about all this all day long. Stop practicing and go to bed early! When you open your eyes, gather your thoughts and go see your brother."
Xie Lingyun's face turned pale. , see Xie Yina Showing his father's majesty, he closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice:
"I know."
After Xie Yi turned around and left, Xie Lingyun closed the door heavily, turned around and lay on the table. His head was buried in his arms.
After a long while, she suddenly raised her head again, looked at the two rabbits chatting with each other on the table, and cursed:
"You two, do you have any eyesight? I'll give you such a good meal for free!"
I was startled when I saw the two rabbits, hugging each other and shivering. Xie Lingyun was even more angry. , picked up the two little rabbits and walked outside the house, threw them into the pen, pointed at them and said:
"You are not allowed to sleep in the house today!"
She returned to the house angrily. , lying in bed, but couldn't sleep for a long time.
She stood up suddenly, gritted her teeth and said:
"Brother? What's wrong with brother? Isn't brother also a man? What's the big deal, brother!"
Xie Yi returned to his courtyard and found that the lights in his room had not been turned off.
He pushed the door in and saw Cui Pingjun studying. When he saw him coming back, he said softly:
"Husband, you are back."
"It's so late. No rest?”
Xie Yi said.
Cui Pingjun shook his head:
"Of course I have to wait for you to come back."
Xie Yi hesitated to speak, but still sighed:
"Today's As the hostess, you should also go to the family dinner.”
Cui Pingjun said noncommittally:
“It doesn’t matter, my family is used to me being in the Buddhist hall anyway.”
“But, you haven’t been there for many days.”
Xie Yi whispered.
Cui Pingjun remained silent, lowering her head to read.
Xie Yi sighed again:
"Madam, you know, what does this matter have to do with Xie Yuan? He is also..."
"I know, of course I know."< br>
Cui Pingjun suddenly said:
"He is a child, just like Lun'er, he is a victim of the chaos. It's just that Lun'er's life was not good and he could not come back.
"He is back."
Cui Pingjun's eyes were red:
"Lun'er is obviously the proud son of heaven, the legitimate son of the head of the Xie family in Chen County, the heir of the Xie family, or The nephew of the head of the Cui family in Qinghe... He is the son of your No. 1 Feilong list and me, Cui Pingjun. He is destined to become the leader of the party in the future. The best in the world. However, he died in an unknown mountain village and was killed by a few villagers. How could things in this world be so ridiculous?
"I have been thinking about it these days, I pray for help. After so many years, at first I just wanted to hear a little bit of news about him, but later I stopped asking for more. I just wanted him to be safe and grow up healthy. However, when I found out the news about Xie Yuan, my heart really couldn't stop beating. I looked forward to the stars and the moon, and just wanted to know where Lun'er was... but... the result turned out to be like this...
"Is that true? If I don't ask for information about him, he will still live a stable life in an unknown place? Is it because I didn't find Xie Yuan and Lun'er still grew up healthy there? ”
"Madam!"
Xie Yi said in a deep voice.
Cui Pingjun paused and continued:
"I just kept thinking that the two brothers were separated. Why is one returning home in fine clothes and the other buried in the mountains? If it wasn't for Lun'er's protection. When he grows up, he protects Lun'er. Are things different?"
She asked in a faint voice:
"Why, why is Lun'er dead and not Xie Yuan?"
"Ping Jun, what are you talking about!"
Xie Yi's face suddenly changed and he scolded angrily.
Cui Pingjun was stunned, tears rolled down her eyes, she covered her face and said:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Xie Yi sighed, leaned down, hugged his wife, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
After a while, Cui Pingjun stopped sobbing, wiped her face and said:
"Husband, I lost my temper."
Xie Yi sighed and said:
< br>"It doesn't matter, I know Madam is not like that."
Cui Pingjun was quiet for a moment, looked at Xie Yi, and said:
"I will not harm him, I will do what a mistress and an aunt should do.
"But I will never Maybe like you, you treat him as your own, as your own son and nephew. There are so many descendants in the Xie family, and I will treat them all equally. "
Xie Yi was relieved at first, but when he heard this, his brows gradually wrinkled and he said:
"Madam, what do you mean? ”
Cui Pingjun shook his head and said:
"What I said is what I think. There are so many juniors in the family who I watched grow up, and any one of them is closer than him. If they are wronged and lack the resources to practice, I won't agree either."
Xie Yi frowned deeply and said in a cold voice:
"Fairness and justice, those who are capable will get more, have always been the rules of the Xie family."
"Then then Prove he can.”
Cui Pingjun turned around and said.
"I... believe he can do it, he is worth it all."
Xie Yi said softly.
Cui Pingjun said lightly:
"I hope so. He hasn't made any contribution to the family yet, but you rescued him and gave him a lot of things. I would like to see it. Let’s see when he can pay it all back.”
"I think we will see it soon."
After saying this, Xie Yi hugged Cui Pingjun:
"Madam, let's go, go to bed and rest."
Cui Pingjun said coldly:
“I’m going to take a rest.”
"What do you mean..."
"But you can't."
"Huh?"
Xie Yi was stunned.
“Aren’t you very fierce? Aren’t you trying to take advantage of the master’s prestige?”
Cui Pingjun said coldly, and then started to push Xie Yi out:
“You are not allowed to sleep in the house today!”
Xie Yi couldn’t laugh or cry:
“Oh, madam, If you don’t let me in, where will I sleep?”
“Let’s go to the Buddhist temple.”
Cui Pingjun said quietly:
"I recently asked people to demolish the Buddhist hall, send away the Buddha statues, and change it into your bedroom.
"Anyway, this Buddhist hall is useless. ”
