Panlong's infinite evolution

Chapter 281

The carriage left the ancient mansion and headed towards the ancient family's ancestral house on Qinghu Island.

The contemporary family of the Gu family is Gu Yong's uncle, Gu Yuan, who is close to a hundred years old and works as a guardian on Qinghu Island.

The ancestral house of the Gu family is only slightly larger than Guyong's mansion, and the overall architectural style is not luxurious, but slightly shabby.

Speaking of which, the Gu family has established a foothold in Qingdao Lake for 500 years. However, since there has never been a congenital master, it can only be regarded as a peripheral in Qinghu Island. Naturally, it is impossible to build a family on the island.

This situation continued until nearly a hundred years ago, when Gu Yong's grandfather suddenly emerged, broke through to innate, and became the elder of Qinghu Island. Only then did the entire Gu family enter the core of Qinghu Island, and only then was it eligible to move the family to the island.

But in less than 20 years, Gu Yong's grandfather died in a battle. At that time, there were no new innate strongmen in the Gu family, and there were only a few acquired peak warriors left in the whole family, who barely survived and lived on the island. Without the qualifications, he has no intention of doing large-scale construction.

As Gu Yong broke through his innate talent and became the elder of Qinghu Island, the momentum of the entire Gu family was greatly boosted, and the originally scattered hearts gathered together again.

A large number of clansmen gathered in the square in front of the ancestral hall of the ancient family. There were thousands of people in the dark space. Almost all the people in the whole family who were eligible to participate in the New Year Festival had arrived.

According to the distance of their respective bloodlines, they stand in their respective positions.

Inside the ancestral hall, only the direct descendants of the Gu family can enter here. As the sons of the future patriarch of the Gu family, Luo Lan and Gu Shiyou are naturally qualified to enter, and the positions are very high.

As for Gu Shiyou's mother, Tie Shi, as a woman, she is naturally not qualified to stand in the ancestral hall.

Luo Lan secretly watched with some curiosity, it was the first time he had seen this kind of classical New Year Festival.

On the top are sacrifices of cattle, sheep and pigs. Such sacrifices are also called Tailao, and the specifications are already extremely high.

Below is a huge three-legged bronze tripod.

With the master of ceremonies shouted "burning incense".

A gray-haired old man stepped forward with a solemn expression, and inserted the first incense into it, followed by Gu Yong, who was in second place, followed by the other clansmen.Underage clansmen like Luo Lan and clansmen outside the square are not qualified to come forward and burn incense.

Fewer than 60 people were able to enter the ancestral hall, of which only five or sixty people were eligible to offer incense, and the incense burning ceremony ended soon.

"Play the music, welcome the gods!" The master of ceremonies shouted.

"Bang!" The sound of the gong sounded suddenly, followed by the sound of the drum, nine times in a row.

"Kneel!" the master of ceremonies said loudly.

Immediately, thousands of people inside and outside the ancestral hall knelt down at the same time.

After all the clansmen knelt down, the patriarch Gu Yuan began to recite the sacrificial rites in honor of Dayu.

"People in the Jiuding Continent really respect Emperor Yu very much, and the whole piece of sacrificial rites is all about singing praises to Emperor Yu." Luo Lan was very close to the patriarch Gu Yuan, so he could hear it very clearly.

"Unfortunately, Dayu has already shattered the void and left the Nine Cauldrons World. I don't know where he is now?" Luo Lan thought to himself.

……

After waiting for a long time, the sacrificial oration was finished.

Then the patriarch Gu Yuan led the clansmen to perform three worships and nine kowtows.

With the master of ceremonies shouting loudly: "Licheng!"

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and many children rubbed their knees involuntarily. Their legs were sore from kneeling for such a long time just now.

Under the leadership of Gu Yuan, everyone walked out of the ancestral hall, looking down at the clansmen of the various branches outside.

There is a difference of five steps from where Gu Yuan is standing to the square. The number of steps is custom-made, not random.

For example, only one step can be built in front of the common people's ancestral hall, acquired warriors can build up to three, and innate warriors can build five... Emperor Yu ordered the world and formulated the world's etiquette. These have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If anyone does not follow it and builds indiscriminately, they will only be ridiculed.

Gu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Today is New Year's Eve, I am very happy to see so many people, which shows that our ancient family is prosperous. Next, according to the previous rules, all six-year-old children will carry out testing."

Soon a huge open space was given up in the center of the square, and many copper tripods of different sizes were placed on the open space.

"Next, all the six-year-olds will step forward one by one and snatch the bronze tripod. You have to remember that the test results this time will accompany you for the rest of your life. You must try your best, and the top three will receive special rewards later." Gu Yuan laughed and announced the start, and at the same time sold a lawsuit to everyone.

"Special reward, patriarch, what is it?"

There was no such reward in previous years, parents with school-age children asked impatiently.

"Everyone will know later, don't let the children be distracted now, let's do the test first." Gu Yuan coped with it with a smile, but never talked about what the special rewards were, which made some clansmen scratch their hearts with claws and itch. .

The test started with the tribesmen of the lower line. There were thousands of tribesmen, and only a few dozen of them reached the age of six. They stepped forward one by one, and the test was quickly completed.The strongest of them lifted a ninety-jin copper tripod, which made the parents next to him ecstatic.

Other children generally can only lift copper tripods weighing forty or fifty catties, and no more than five can lift sixty catties.

Six-year-old children generally do not practice inner strength and mental skills, and they rely entirely on their own strength to lift the bronze tripod. The heavier the bronze tripod they lift at this time, the stronger the physique, and the better the talent for martial arts.

"Gu Yuesheng lifted the [-]-jin bronze tripod. It's not bad. This kind of performance is enough to rank in the top three in previous years." Gu Yuan stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at the burly little boy below.

Only the continuous emergence of martial arts geniuses can ensure the long-term longevity of the family. The child in front of him was born in a side branch, with poor resources to support him, and he can lift a ninety-pound copper tripod. Such a talent can be called outstanding.

After the children of the collateral line have been tested, it will be the turn of the children of the direct line.

The master of ceremonies continued to roll the roll.

"Gu Shichang, step forward to test!"

Behind the patriarch, Gu Yuan, a middle-aged man who looked five or six points similar to Gu Yuan smiled and patted the little boy beside him.

Luo Lan couldn't help but take another look at the little boy. This little boy seemed to be the grandson of the patriarch Gu Yuan, and he was right next to him when he worshiped just now.

Encouraged by his father, Gu Shichang stepped forward without hesitation.

……

"Gu Shichang, one hundred catties!" Soon the master of ceremonies reported Gu Shichang's results.

"it is good--"

There was a burst of applause all around.

With such a result, he could have won the first place in previous years, but this year, many clansmen cast their eyes on Gu Shiyou who was on the steps.

As the so-called father is a hero, the son is a hero. When Gu Yong lifted the tripod for the first time, he lifted a 130-jin bronze tripod, which shocked the whole family.

Now that Gu Yong has broken through to innate, he has become the number one expert in the Gu family. All the clansmen are looking forward to Gu Yong's son.

"Next, Gu Shiyou, please come forward and test..."

As the emcee's voice fell to the ground, Gu Shiyou couldn't wait to walk down, and stopped in front of a 120-jin bronze tripod.

"Master Shiyou wants to lift a 120-jin copper tripod!"

There were several exclamations from the crowd.

I saw that Gu Shiyou grabbed the tripod's feet without hesitation, and with a loud roar, he exerted all his strength, and immediately lifted the bronze tripod above his head.

"it is good--"

This time, the applause was sporadic. As Gu Yong's son, he was able to lift a 120-jin bronze tripod, so the clansmen did not think it strange at all.

Seemingly dissatisfied, Gu Shiyou dropped the bronze tripod in his hand, swung his arms, and stood still in front of the 130-jin bronze tripod again.

This time, the eyes of all the clansmen lit up.

130 catties, if he can really lift it, then his son's performance will be equal to that of Lao Tzu.But whether Gu Shiyou can really lift it up, even Luo Lan is a little curious this time.

I have decided that tomorrow will be three shifts, and everyone will supervise together. If you can't complete the task, everyone will vote for others!
