Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

I thought it would be a quick process, but it took quite a long time.

It took almost half a day just to pay homage to the ancestors.

As for why it took so long, let me tell you slowly.

The Bai Family Ancestral Hall is located in the Bai Family Sword Shop. There is a simple Feng Shui layout here.

A hidden view wall and a shadow dragon wall form an L shape, one on the left and one on the right, separating the ancestral hall and the sword furnace.

The Bai Family Ancestral Hall is not particularly large. Its antique appearance should have been built for hundreds of years and has been repaired every period of time.

In addition to the ancestors' spiritual tablets, there are also some longevity lamps inside.

There are not many tablets placed in the ancestral hall, especially the number of tablets placed on the main throne is even rarer.

After hundreds of years, the total number of Bai family members actually did not exceed fifty. It can be seen that their number is sparse and they are almost passed down from generation to generation.

Paying homage to your ancestors is considered as recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan.

One of the goals achieved in coming to Rome.

"Originally, Bai Potian was supposed to bring you here." Bai Hewu changed into clean clothes and stood aside and said, "But he can't come back for the time being, so I will do it for him."

"Are there any other rituals next? Blood recognition or something like that."

"This is not a weird clan, and there aren't that many rules." Bai Hewu looked at the flickering longevity lanterns: "Today's Bai family branches are all united based on interests, and their biological blood relationships are already very weak. ”

"Even Bai Potian and I are at least three generations apart."

"I originally said that if I had a daughter, I could marry his son."

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is it appropriate?"

"Intermarriage within the clan is not uncommon." Bai Hewu said with a smile: "If you want to marry a girl from a side clan, you can choose at will without any hindrance."

"No need." Bai Yu refused directly.

"Well, that's what Bai Potian said back then." Bai Hewu patted his back and said, "Rabbits don't eat grass around their nests."

Then he glanced at the female CEO who was guarding outside the ancestral hall, and showed a narrow smile: "It turns out that I just don't eat this side."

Bai Yu shook her head and denied: "The relationship between me and Sister Shirley is very pure."

"Bai Potian has been in love with each other for the rest of his life, but you... I don't know." Bai Hewu shook his head and said it was impossible. The old man was very good at judging people.

Bai Yu didn't want to admit it and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Bai Potian was not as sharp as you when he was young. On the contrary, he was a late bloomer... a middle-aged man. By the time he achieved canonization and became famous, his wife had already passed away. He was full of exhaustion and felt unloved. But you He is a young man, so this is naturally different." Bai Hewu said with a smile, "Tell me, how many partners do you have?"

Bai Yu looked at the coffin in the ancestral hall and asked, "You are asking me this in front of my ancestors?"

"The ancestors will also care about the inheritance of the family line. You don't know how many generations of our family have been working hard to create a population for the Lao Bai family." He raised his eyebrows: "If your kid can have more sons, no one will care about you. Find a few wives, and when you meet your ancestors, they will all give you a thumbs up, and future generations will even dare to move your tablet to a higher place."

"No?" Bai Yu felt that he was getting more and more outrageous: "Can this tablet be moved up?"

"Why not? Otherwise, how do you think the memorial tablets are arranged in rows?" Bai Hewu pointed to the highest column in the ancestral hall: "The ones at the top are those who gave birth to several sons."

"???"

Is this how the ranks of ancestors and clans are arranged?

Shouldn't it be calculated based on age and contribution?

"Having more children is the greatest contribution."

Bai Hewu's words are serious and thoughtful, not narrow-minded, but serious. The prosperity of the family is closely related to the number of people and talents.

"You are young and powerful. This old guy Bai Potian is destined to die. I can only rely on you."

Bai Yu raised his head and looked up at the sky: "I think there are quite a lot of people in this branch, so there must be no shortage of these people."

"The collateral branch is a collateral branch, and the main family is the main family." Bai Hewu shook his head and said: "The main family is different... You should also be able to feel it when you come back this time. Most of the collateral branches are useless, just like the stubborn bones in Huaian. When he fell to the ground, many people on the sidelines had already run home, so I thought they were going to pack up Xinrou and run away."

"If the Longhu Guard Hall is lost, the sword shop cannot be maintained, and the ancestral business will be lost."

"Without the fixed income from their ancestral business, they can no longer stay."

"And after you took action, they rushed outside the ancestral hall and waited, just waiting for you to go out and kneel to you, the crown prince."

The old man is good at yin and yang.

He really doesn't like these side branches who can only suck blood and have no ability to run industries. It's no wonder that Bai Potian never mentioned conquering these side branches. He doesn't like them either, and Melusina also dislikes them deep down in her heart. No, but she has a special position and is not suitable to comment on it.

"Sit down and chat before going out." Bai Hewu squatted on the threshold: "Let them dry out for a while and see if these people are shameless and continue to stay, or if they don't even have this patience and go back directly."

"What if they just go back?"

"You don't have any patience at all, you deserve to be scolded!" Bai Hewu snorted coldly: "Teach him a lesson, and never pay attention to any appeals of this group of people, even if they kneel down and call their ancestors!"

"What if they waited patiently and stayed?"

"You are deeply scheming, don't think about the right path, and think about getting something for nothing all day long. You should be scolded!" Bai Hewu was even more angry: "I can give you some repatriation money. If the main family is gone, there is no need for the branch to support such a few hundred people."

"Absolutely." Bai Yu thought to himself that the old man has such a bad temper. You are always dissatisfied with whatever your romantic partner does.

"Xiao Yujing, I am doing this for your own good. If you are soft-hearted and accept so many hundreds of people, you will regret it in the future." Bai Hewu shook his head and said: "The human heart is not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant. These people have no ability, but they have great desires... If there is a mismatch between ambition and ability, it will bring disaster to the surroundings. Over the years, Bai's mess has become a touchstone, with batch after batch of incompetent people."

"Including your own son?" Bai Yu's impression of Bai Huaian was not bad.

"This kid... is almost at the age where he knows his destiny, and he can't be called a kid anymore."

There is no better son than a father, and Bai Hewu's evaluation is still sharp: "Rudolph is capable, not very talented, not very capable. He can make some achievements, but he is not destined to be the master of ZTE."

"The most important thing is that it is easy to break through hard things. He has been competing with others all his life. He doesn't understand the principle of giving up. He wants to grab too much, so he is plotted by others."

"I didn't go astray because I was watching. But after a hundred years with my old bones, it's hard to guarantee whether he will lead Bai into the pit."

"So it's not available?" Bai Yu continued.

"It's not possible, because he can't listen to my advice, so how can he bow to you, a junior?" Bai Hewu judged: "In the entire Bai family branch, there are few people that I like, even myself. He is just a swordsmith who spends half his life facing the fire and looking after his family. He has some ability to add fuel to the flames but cannot keep the lights on. "

He ended his evaluation and gave a summary, which was just four words - not worth using.

Hundreds of people from the Bai family's descendants are all like this, without exception.

Bai Yu could understand what he meant. This was the experience condensed by the elderly man's half-life experience.

It is an advice and a warning.

Don’t try to rely on this group of people, they are unreliable;

Don't give too much hope to this group of people, they can't stand it.

Bai Hewu had already seen through this group of people.

Perhaps, he also saw through Bai Yu's plan.

He agreed simply: "I understand... I will not interfere with the operation of the Bai family branch. As it was in the past, it will be the same in the future."

"That's good." Bai Hewu showed a bit of apology, and patted the younger generation on the shoulder with his thin hand: "This is the best... I'm sorry, Xiao Yujing, these descendants will not be able to keep up with you if they don't live up to expectations. They will spend their whole lives. It’s impossible to be on the same level as you.”

Bai Yu smiled: "It doesn't matter, I don't lack people around me. When I come back, it's just grandpa who asked me to come back and take a look."

"It's impossible that Bai Potian doesn't know what's going on here. If there was an outstanding junior like Melusina, he would have been brought back and taught by his side. His vision is very cunning, and he didn't choose anyone. So I took this girl back, which caused a lot of gossip about her being a child bride."

Bai Hewu rubbed his face.

"He's probably asking you to come back and take a look and make your own decision."

"The most important thing is for you to meet your ancestors and recognize your ancestors."

"as well as……"

The old man stood up, took out a translucent lotus-shaped vessel from the cabinet, and filled it with two-thirds of the lamp oil.

"This is your longevity lamp."

"Every direct descendant of the Bai family is the heart and soul of the Bai family, and one of them is indispensable. Therefore, every generation of the Bai family needs to light a longevity lamp in the ancestral hall when they reach adulthood."

"Leave your longevity lamp here, and the ancestors of the Bai family will protect you."

Bai Yu looked at the lotus lantern with his name engraved on it and asked, "Aren't you going to light it?"

"It will be lit, but not now." Bai Hewu placed the lamp on the wooden stand and said solemnly: "You can leave, but remember to come back after dark."

Bai Yu didn't say anything, and looked at the one on the left side of his longevity light sign, which had three words written on it.

——Bai Xinghe.

Although this lamp of longevity has a weak flame, it has not been extinguished.

Although he wanted to have questions, he saw that Bai Hewu had already left the ancestral hall, so he did not ask any questions.

Walk out of the ancestral hall and close the door.

Melusina came up to meet him, noticed the confusion between Bai Yu's eyebrows, and stretched out her hand to smooth it gently.

"What's wrong?"

"The longevity lamp used by Bai's family looks very special, different from other longevity lamps."

"It is indeed very special. The utensils are specially purchased and made of deep-sea glass. The lamp oil inside is made of mermaid oil. They are all treasures obtained from the Nautilus... This lamp of yours belongs to grandpa. I purchased it myself five years ago.” Melusina still remembers it like a treasure.

Bai Yu felt something was wrong.

The most special thing about this longevity lamp is not the vessel or the mermaid oil inside, but the flame that ignites it.

Judging from Bai Hewu's performance, lighting the longevity lamp even requires some special rituals and preparations.

perhaps……

Mr. Bai asked himself to return to the ancestral hall, hoping that he could see this.

Is he using the longevity lamp to tell himself that Bai Xinghe, who has been missing for so many years, is still alive somewhere in the world?
