The end of the year has come, heavy snow has flown, and Chen County has become a snow country again.
According to Xie’s custom, worshiping ancestors on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
"It really looks like a leader of a clan."
Mu Chaoyun looked at Xie Yuan, who was wearing the clan leader's complex robe again, and nodded slightly. Even she couldn't help but show her appreciation.
With a mysterious robe in his body, the grand master's demeanor is a profound and shady mountain.
At this time, Xie Yuan was not sure that he was just over twenty.
His two-life experience has indeed made him more mature than his peers, and the past few years have been more turbulent than many people's lives.
Xie Yuan smiled slightly. Although Mu Chaoyun had lived in the Xie family for half a year, he might not be used to his formal appearance.
But Xie Yuan himself felt that he had spent a long time. Two years have gone from no one to a good reputation, and I have experienced a lot.
"I'm afraid you shouldn't come forward to worship your ancestors... After a while, maybe you can come to the family tree first?"
Xie Yuan was half apologizing and half a temptation, but when he said this, he paused for a moment, shook his head and laughed:
"Forget it, we can't even get to the genealogy."
Mu Chaoyun smiled and said softly:
"Just be with you, it doesn't matter."
The heat flowed through Xie Yuan's heart, and he gently pinched Mu Chaoyun's hand.
"It's almost time."
He looked at the sky and nodded:
"I'm going to the ancestral hall."
Mu Chaoyun sent him out of the courtyard, smiled back at him who waved his hand, and then quietly stared at the tall back.
In her eyes, Xie Yuan's back was bathed in the first ray of light in the morning light, and he walked firmly towards the pangran ancestral hall that was still shrouded in the night sky.
When the sun rises completely from the East Mountain, the New Year's ancestor worship ceremony begins.
Xie Yuan stood first, even though his seniority was three generations lower than some of the people behind him or even more.
However, as the patriarch, especially as the patriarch who has been a patriarch who has been incontrovertible in the past two years, even though he is behind the tribe of the Chen County Xie family, he is extremely powerful, and famous all over the world. Big guys, he can only stand at this position, no one has a question.
So under the auspices of the Fifth Patriarch, Xie Yuan led thousands of the most direct tribe members in the clan, who were of the highest status, to offer cattle, sheep and animals sacrifices, toast and chirp incense, to read the sacrifices, to kneel down and worship, etc.
After a complicated and complicated ritual process, Xie Yuan took the lead in standing up, and the dark tribe members behind him stood up.
Next is to list the direct clan members who can be listed on the genealogy this year.
The Xie family in Chen County is strict in rules. If they are not from a direct family and are qualified to be included in the genealogy.
The newly born children are not listed. They are not included in the class until they start to enter the class school at the age of three and complete the first stage of the class school graduation at the age of seven. After assessment and recognition by elders, they can be officially included in the annual New Year's ancestor worship. Genealogy. It is precisely when you look at the age of three and the age of seven, and you can only look at the nature of your mind and nature. If you find that your children are not qualified enough, you will not be able to enter the genealogy and even drive out of the clan territory.
However, generally speaking, children born in the Xie clan have rarely failed after rigorous education, so they are the same form most of the time.
However, such a form is of great significance. Being able to enter the genealogy means not only blood ties, but also the person himself is recognized as a member of the Xie family and officially enjoys the treatment of the Xie family. Therefore, at this moment, many children's elders are very good Very happy and very excited.
If it weren't for the ancestral hall not to make noise, it would probably be similar to the scene when the exam was released.
Recording the family tree is the highlight of the year, and it is also hosted by the Fifth Grandpa. Two years ago, Xie Yuan had insufficient prestige, so he asked the fifth ancestor to enter it directly. He honestly acted as a background board and would not add to himself.
This year, Xie Yuan didn't say anything, but was invited by the fifth ancestor to read the list with him and enter the genealogy under the common views of his clan.
Everyone, including Xie Yuan, felt the subtle changes, but no one said much.
This change is a mapping of Xie Yuan’s current actual status changes.
With a master of Xie Yuan's age, whether in terms of talent or reputation, he is enough to firmly hold the position of the head of the family.
The whole Xie family has seen the performance over the past two years and thought in his heart that it was the same as Xie Yi's rise trajectory, but the starting point is lower, the rise is faster, the trajectory is stronger, and the story is more strange. And his end point may be higher.
Xie Yuan stood on the steps and read the list in front of everyone.
Every time he read a name, the young doll and his elders showed an excited and forced control look.
The fifth ancestor picked up the pen and wrote the words behind and entered the genealogy.
The names rang out and fell one after another. Xie Yuan looked solemn, but he couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Mu Chaoyun in the early morning.
"I'm afraid that except for the fifth ancestor, no one here wants to get me who read the name. My patriarch, the name is not on it."
Xie Yuan couldn't tell what his mood was. He was not depressed or depressed, but he just felt that things in the world were strange.
The ceremony ended very smoothly.
The tribesmen dispersed, Xie Yuan and his elders said goodbye, and joined hands with Xie Lingyun to return to the head of the home compound. Cui Pingjun and Mu Chaoyun had prepared lunch together.
Looking at Cui Pingjun and Mu Chaoyun who were busy, Xie Yuan felt at ease.
The aroma of dishes came from the kitchen, which was the taste of home to Xie Yuan.
"Second uncle, I will protect this family."
Xie Yuan looked in the direction of the inner room and said silently.
The tutoring business will be busier by the end of the year.
Xie Yuan can practice for five hours a day on weekdays, but now there may be only three or even two hours available, which is really burdened by worldly affairs.
Fortunately, as a master of martial arts, he is full of energy and energy. He can handle many things with just one spiritual consciousness. He is not depressed and can handle it, or he has long been used to it.
What's more, with Mu Chaoyun always around, he really doesn't practice the secrets of heaven and becomes a virtuous assistant. Xie Yuan's work harder and achieves twice the result with half the effort, and his mood is even more good every day.
At noon on New Year's Eve, as usual, the patriarchs were the patriarchs to entertain the elders and masters for dinner, which was considered a group banquet for the senior executives of the Xie family.
However, this banquet is not so formal. It is okay for each person to bring family members, relatives and friends, or any tribe member who wants to have a free meal.
Eastern foothills, a banquet hall for wind and snow.
The elders have come very well, except for those who really can't get away, and there are no longer few people who respond like they were in the beginning.
Xie Yuan also brought Mu Chaoyun and sat next to him on a case. Although Cui Pingjun never leaves Xie Yi, Xie Lingyun is naturally like a little tail that cannot be shaken away, sitting on the other side of Xie Yuan.
Compared with the previous two years, although the Chen County Xie family still faces many challenges this year, the situation is much better.
Unlike the sad and chaotic situation that Xie Yi just fell down, and the struggle for power and internal disputes that year, almost no one trusted Xie Yuan.
In the second year, Xie Yuan started from counterattacking Xie Yan with his strength, and then to truly breaking through to the master realm, his breakthrough in strength has already shocked the entire clan.
Although he is not as good as the high-level master of the Xie family's pillar level, no one thinks he stops there.
Everyone thinks that in the near future, Xie Yuan will truly become a top expert and even be at the top of the Flying Dragon List, just like Xie Yi.
After resolving several crises and troubles with his wisdom, Xie Yuan calmed down the disputes, defended the challenge outside, and quickly stabilized the situation.
Even though the Xie family is still in a strategic contraction stage, the current situation obviously does not have the feeling of storm.
Even if the demons of the Kitchen Sect join, the Xie family will have the confidence to deal with it. Therefore, there were people who came to toast Xie Yuan one after another, but they could not see the difference between the elders and the younger generation, but they were somewhat respectful to the patriarch.
Not only Xie Yuan, but also the elders came to toast Mu Chaoyun.
Some elders led by Xie Tiexin have communicated with Mu Chaoyun, knowing that her attainments in formations and even other miscellaneous studies have benefited the family.
Combined with her age and her impenetrable cultivation, the elders with long-term vision will not underestimate this future mistress.
The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious and warm.
After almost everyone had drank with Xie Yuan, Xie Zhicai finally stepped forward with a jade jar.
This is not surprising. Xie Zhi was the last one among all the elders. He was a powerful hero who once wanted to be the head of the family.
Although he was late, he was not ashamed or dissatisfied on his face. He just brought the wine glass to Xie Yuan and said:
"Xie Yuan, to be honest, I admire you very much."
"Elder Zhi has been awarded."
Xie Yuan didn't care about his name, but just smiled and listened to his following.
"Not a prize at all."
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Xie Zhi shook his head:
"Whether it is your martial arts talent or your wisdom in dealing with things, it has been revealed in the more than two years since you returned to the family. You have done better than most people in this position, especially considering your age... I have always had a chance. I thought you were really a powerful ancestor who was reincarnated, or was sent by God to revive our Chen County Xie family. I lost to you, although I am very sorry, but I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."
Xie Zhi's tone was rare sincere, and his expression was quite emotional. Even the mole on the corner of his mouth did not look cunning.
"To you this cup, thank you for your contribution to the Xie family."
He touched Xie Yuan with jade jar and drank it all in one go.
Xie Yuan frowned calmly, feeling something was wrong.
But he just raised his head and drank, lit up the bottom of the glass, and then heard Xie Zhi continue to say.
"Xie Yi is very powerful. I never competed for him at the beginning, and I was dissatisfied with him. But later, seeing that he has improved his strength or managed his family, it is indeed impossible to find fault with him, so I have calmed down. >
"But I originally thought I was not far from the bottom. Sometimes, the position depends on who will sit. Often, I will sit on the chair first to have the ability. If I had won the first place, maybe I would have the vision and pattern. , what are you doing well?
"But until recently, I felt that there were some things that I was not as good as him. I was really convinced of his eyesight and courage this time."
Xie Yuan's brows gradually frowned, and he looked at Xie Zhiqing's face full of emotion.
The elders in the banquet hall gradually felt a little subtle and looked over with some confusion.
Xie Zhi's old rival Xie Wen frowned and said intently:
"What's this guy going crazy again? Are you drunk so quickly?"
Xie Zhi sighed for a while, looked at Xie Yuan, his eyes lit up:
"But that's not right.
"Xie Yuan, I could have exposed you the day before yesterday, but thinking about the grand occasion, there are many tribesmen, and there is no need to embarrass you in front of the ancestors and sects.
"Today, they are all elders, all of your elders, there is nothing to say.
"Xie Yuan, are you talking about it yourself or me?"
As soon as these words came out, the banquet hall was completely quiet, with only the wind and snow outside the corridor, roaring constantly.
Dongxue couldn't blow into the banquet hall protected by the formation, but the temperature in the hall was slightly lowered.
Everyone looked at the two of them in discomfort, but they were a little uneasy.
Xie Yuan looked at Xie Zhi quietly, questioned a high-level master and family giant fiercely, and said calmly:
"Elder Zhi, I wonder what you are referring to?"
Xie Zhi laughed, pointed his finger at him, and swayed in front of his face:
"It's indeed a talent, with a calm mind, and can still pretend now.
"But you pretended to be Xie Xuan's son and stole the throne of the head of the Xie family in Chen County, thinking you can be yours for the rest of your life?"
Xie Zhi shouted loudly.
Woo--
The wind and snow on the East Mountain are getting colder, and it looks like it will turn into a snowstorm soon.
The people in the entire banquet hall, including those well-trained servants, all seemed to have been immersed in the method of being immobilized.
Top masters and giants such as Xie Wen and Xie Bing all showed shock and confusion on their faces, completely no longer as deep as usual.
Xie Lingyun was stunned and looked at Xie Yuan with a puzzled look on her face.
Mu Chaoyun lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the wine in front of him, and sighed silently.
But Xie Wen spoke first.
"Xie Zhi, are you drunk? Don't talk nonsense in this occasion."
Xie Wen frowned and felt something was wrong.
If Xie Zhi made a fool of himself in normal times, he would rather put him in trouble.
But what Xie Zhi said was so important that Xie Wen was even very cautious and just wanted to control the matter first.
Xie Bing also had a strong voice and a low tone:
"Elder Zhi, if you have any problems, we can communicate with the head of the family in private, or hold a presbyterian meeting."
Xie Zhi shook his head repeatedly:
"I can't bear it anymore. It's not that I shouldn't have let him stand in the top position the day before yesterday! Where did he get the qualification to enter the ancestral hall and record the genealogy for people? If I hadn't seen that he had made some contributions in the past two years, I wouldn't have thought that I wouldn't have Allow an outsider to enter the ancestral hall of Xie’s family in my Chen County! ”
Xie Wen couldn't help but say:
"Xie Zhi, you have always said that outsiders are outsiders, but Xie Yuan recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan members. He was notarized by Xie Yi himself. It was indeed the bloodline of their room..."
Speaking of this, Xie Wen's tone gradually became lowered.
If Xie Yi really wants to do something, they may not be able to see it.
However, although Xie Yi was casual in his early years and worked diligently after becoming the head of the family, how could he do such a thing?
Unless...
Xie Zhi just kept saying that Xie Yi was very bold, could it be true?
The masters thought about it and felt as if they had vaguely grasped the veins, and they were extremely shocked.
Xie Zhi looked at everyone's expressions and smiled when he twisted his beard. The mole on the corner of his mouth trembled:
"Yes! That's what you think!
"Xie Yuan is not Xie Xuan's son or Xie Yi's nephew at all. It was Xie Yi's tricks to find him to pretend!
"From the beginning, he was not from the Xie family of our Chen County!"
