Xian Ao

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, at noon, the Yu Family Ancestral Hall.

Today is the day for the Yu family to worship their ancestors. At the end of the afternoon, all nine direct branches and seventeen branches of the Yu family gathered here to worship their ancestors together.

Yu's mother got up early in the morning, washed and dressed the children, and dressed them neatly, each with new clothes. Then she took them and Yu's father's memorial tablet to the Yu family's mansion in Linhai City.

The Yu family's mansion occupies nine streets in Linhai City, and they all live together. The buildings are arranged neatly, and the Yu Mansion, where the eldest family lives, is located in the center, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, and is protected by a solid outer wall. It is simply a small city. , can be regarded as a city within a city. This is the characteristic of the Tang family. This is the case for the five families in Linhai City. In times of crisis, it can provide a refuge for the family's disciples. It is said that there is a secret escape underground that leads directly to the outside of the city.

Yu Tianming came out to greet them and took them to the clan ancestral hall. Although it was now the time and the sacrifices had not yet begun, not everyone could enter the clan ancestral hall. As women, his mother and sister stayed outside. Only Yu Ze Cheng took Yu Zegong into the ancestral hall.

Yu Tianming's attitude was neither enthusiastic nor cold. Under his guidance, Yu Zecheng placed his father's tablet among the group of spiritual tablets enshrined by the Yu family. His father's grandfather, Yu Dejun, was not dead yet, but his brothers were already four years old. People are worshiped here, and they all died in battle for the benefit of the Yu family.

After placing the spiritual tablets, they re-registered them in the clan book. The elders of the clan were responsible for it. They turned to the page of the eldest house and wrote the father's name on it again.

Yu Tiangao was born in the year of Jiazi, and he was intelligent. He served in the disaster caused by the fall of Chen Guotian in the year of Ding Chen.

Just a few words, it is my father's life. The four words of being smart were added to it by my mother after she paid 400 taels of silver. Yu Zecheng didn't know what to say when he saw this, and had an indescribable feeling.

Under Yu Tiangao, the names of the eldest son Yu Zecheng and the second son Yu Zegong were added. As for the handwriting behind the names, someone would have to wait until they died before someone could add them. My father's return to the ancestral tree is regarded as fulfilling his father's last wish.

Even if the matter is over after recording the genealogy, Yu Zechen would like to leave. Who knows that Yu Tianming said:

"Father asked me to take you there, and it will be successful and successful. You haven't met grandpa yet, right?"

After saying that, he took Yu Zecheng and Yu Zegong to the outer hall of the ancestral hall. There were already countless disciples of the Yu family waiting here. Some of these people were chief deacons and some were branch leaders. The one sitting in the middle was Yu Ze Cheng's grandfather Yu Dejun.

Yu Dejun is the current member of the Yu family. In fact, Yu Zecheng has seen him several times in other places, but there are countless children around him, so he will see his grandson Yu Zecheng there. You must know that Yu Dejun had three wives, ten concubines, twenty-one sons, and hundreds of grandchildren. How would you know Yu Zecheng, an unfilial descendant?

Entering the side hall, according to the rules, brothers Yu Zecheng and Yu Zegong knelt down to salute. Yu Zecheng thought to himself:

"No matter what, you are my grandfather. I will worship you three times and we will have nothing to do with you from now on."

Yu Dejun said:

"Are these children from the Seventeenth Family here? Grandpa has never seen you before. It's his negligence. This is a meeting gift for you."

After saying that, each person gave a golden rat, which weighed twice as much. Yu Zecheng threw his golden rat to his younger brother, then took out the jade pendant and said:

"Grandpa, this is our first time meeting you. My grandson has also prepared a gift for you. Please accept it."

After saying that, he handed it over. When everyone saw this crystal clear jade pendant, they immediately knew that it was expensive, and their eyes changed when they looked at Yu Zecheng. Yu Dejun took the jade pendant and said in surprise:

"Intermediate spiritual stone?"

Then he said:

"Zecheng, please come with me. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Yu Dejun walked towards the ancestral hall, with Yu Zecheng following behind him. The two of them came to the ancestral hall. This was a forbidden area and there was no one around. Yu Dejun said:

"I know you are dissatisfied with me, and I don't care about your feelings. Your father is a useless waste for so-called love. He abandoned the marriage I chose for him, which made our Yu family's plan to unite the Li family fail, so he was replaced by me. Get kicked out."

As soon as he said this, Yu Zecheng immediately became angry and replied:

"Yes, grandpa, you are the head of the Yu family. Who is not a waste in your eyes? Now you have great power, a virtuous wife and a filial son. In fact, in their hearts, they all wish you could fly away as soon as possible. Waiting for you to kick off that day, I'm afraid... Not many people actually shed tears.

Although my father is trash in your eyes, he is a real man and a real father. Although we are not rich, we are very happy. I am very grateful to you. Fortunately, you expelled my father from this family, otherwise I would be here now. They don’t even know what they look like. Look at those cousins, they are so pitiful and pitiful. "

Yu Dejun smiled and said:

"It's a pity that you can't wait for the day when I kick my legs. I have reached the peak level of the innate realm and can live for hundreds of years. You are only at the intermediate level of the Qi-entraining realm, with the pseudo-spiritual roots of the five elements, entering the fetal breath. I’ve been miserable for the rest of my life, and I can’t tell which of us will die first.”

As soon as he said this, Yu Zecheng was stunned. It turned out that Yu Dejun was also a cultivator of immortality. Yu Dejun continued:

"The purpose of letting you brothers return to the family tree is not for your brothers, but for your descendants. It is impossible to say that descendants will have spiritual roots, so that they can continue the current status of our Yu family.

Our Yu family can have this day because of how many ancestors sacrificed their lives and shed blood. I could have continued to practice inside the mountain gate, and maybe I have already completed the foundation. But for the sake of the Yu family, I gave up the path of immortality and returned to the Yu family to marry and have children in large numbers like breeding pigs. You kid is the offspring I created. Without me, there would be you.

Without my care, do you think that at a young age you could go to work at Black Tiger Hall and be someone's book boy, and that someone like Zhu Li, the master of law, would accept you as his apprentice? So train you? Without my protection, do you think your mother can raise you safely without anyone peeking at your mother's beauty? Without my cover-up, do you think that if you killed the adulterous couple in the Chen family, no one would take revenge, and everything would be fine?

In fact, your father is my favorite child. He is very similar to me. I named him Tiangao because I want to be as high as the sky and let birds fly. I plan to let him inherit our Yu family business in the future.

He lived up to my expectations, but ended up abandoning the family business and the temptation to become the head of the family for a woman. In a sense, he is flying freely and is not restricted by the family, but I can only stick to this place, so I expelled him from the family. For him, this is actually a kind of happiness, but it is a pity that this child is lucky. Too shallow, he died in Chen country. "

Speaking later, Yu Dejun showed a kind of unexpressible sadness, and Yu Zecheng suddenly had an understanding of this old man and felt the old man's care for him. It turns out that my master Zhu Li taught me so wholeheartedly because of my grandfather. It turns out that my grandfather has been secretly protecting his family and I was able to grow up.

But he didn't seem to know that he killed official Li and framed the blame on others. So how did he know that he killed the adulterer? Understand, he must have been following that immortal to discover him.

But no matter what, it is still touching to have such a relative who secretly protects and loves oneself. Yu Zecheng stood up, knelt down, bowed sincerely, and said:

"Thank you, grandpa, for caring for us all these years. I give you my thanks."

Then he bowed again and said:

"I pray for my father. He will always remember you."

After bowing, he stood up and Yu Dejun nodded in reply. He said:

"It's a pity that Tian Gao, he also has spiritual roots, but he just didn't want to cultivate as an immortal, he just didn't listen to my words, and finally died in a foreign land, my son.

Ze Cheng, during the Qingming Festival next year, the six major sects of the Xiling Alliance in Gunzhou will hold a disciple recruitment ceremony. Our Yu family belongs to the outer sect of the Shuiyun Sect and has a disciple quota. I plan to give it to you so that you can participate. Six sects disciple recruitment meeting, join the Immortal Cultivation Sect. "

Yu Zecheng asked hesitantly:

"The six major sects of cultivating immortals in Xiling, Gunzhou? What are these?"

Yu Dejun replied:

"The six major sects of cultivating immortals in Xiling include Shuiyun Sect, Jinyan Sect, Yuanzhu Sect, Yunxiu Sect, Qian Moling Zunjiao, and Ziyu Sect. Some of these sects are branches of the 108th sect, and some of them were also in the same year. He once entered the ranking of eight hundred side gates.

These six factions alliance controlled the western part of Gunzhou. They originally formed an alliance on the Xiling Peak of the Qilian Mountains, so they were called the Xiling Alliance. Our country of Tang, as well as the country of Mu, and the country of Chi, and the distant countries of Jiang and Jun are all the territory of the Shuiyun Sect. The Chen family, the leader of the Tang country, our Yu family, the Tie family, and the Shi family can all It is considered a branch of Shuiyun Sect. Now you know the power of Shuiyun Sect, right? "

Yu Zecheng was dumbfounded for a long time after hearing this, and Yu Dejun continued:

"Every five years, the Xiling Alliance will hold an Immortal Ascension Conference to allocate talented seed disciples found by the six sects. It also recruits casual cultivators and disciples from major cultivating families for testing. The lucky ones will be selected by the six sects. If you are selected as an inner sect disciple and go to practice in the six sects, ordinary disciples will practice in the outer sect of the six sects. The outer sect of our Shuiyun Sect is the Chishui Sect. If you are good friends with Bai Hexi, you will definitely get his care when you get there. .

Your spiritual root is the Five Elements Spiritual Root, so the possibility of building a foundation is extremely slim. When you reach the intermediate level of fetal breath realm, you can return to the Yu family. I will give you the position of the head of the family, so that you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth.

Tomorrow you will resign from your job at Black Tiger Hall, and I will send you to be a bookboy with Mrs. Zhiyun in Xiaohan Mountain. Although you will be a little angry, Mrs. Zhiyun is the concubine of the head of the Yunxiu Sect, and you have this relationship. , I will speak for you in the future. If you feel aggrieved, just accept it. A man, just endure it and it will be over.

Whose girl will you arrange to be your wife? Shi Tianfei of the Shi family may take over as the head of the family. Let him be his girl, so that he can build a good relationship with the Shi family. The seventh eldest son of the Chen family has the opportunity to be the leader of the Tang Kingdom. He only has one daughter. Although he is twenty years older than you, he can still consider it. Women, that's all.

When you come back tomorrow, I will teach you etiquette and family rules first, and then..."

Yu Dejun began to make calculations. He arranged all of Yu Zecheng's future, but this arrangement completely did not take into account Yu Zecheng's wishes. In his case, Yu Zecheng was a puppet, and everything was decided by him. Yu Zecheng suddenly understood his father's choice.

Yu Zecheng suddenly said loudly:

"Grandpa, thank you for your kindness, but I will not take this place, nor will I take the position of the head of the Yu family. I will cultivate myself, and there is no need to participate in any ascension conference."

Yu Dejun stopped thinking and said:

"Self-cultivation? Hahaha, then you are a casual cultivator. Poor grandson, you don't even know the spiritual stone and don't know what it is used for. You gave it to me as a jade pendant. Why are you practicing?

Look at the protective jade talisman on your chest. It's a pity that this half piece of spiritual stone is very rough. The carved magic circle is extremely rough, and the spiritual stone has been wasted in vain. It's like buying a casket for a pearl, and it can only play one-tenth of its effect. It's really atrocious. Lose Tianzhen.

As long as you join the six major sects, you can learn..."

Yu Zecheng interrupted him and said:

"Grandpa, what you need is just an obedient puppet, not a living person like me. I am free and will not enter a cage and be manipulated by you. I live very well without you. Now that I have you, I can live well." Even better, I control my own destiny.”

Yu Dejun was speechless immediately, and it took him a long time to say:

"Your father seemed to have said this back then. Am I wrong again? Like father, like son. Well, I won't force you. Remember that your body contains the blood of our Yu family. The blood of our Yu family The door is always open to you.”
