Ruyue couldn't figure it out at first, but soon she realized something. These big families were different from the Xiuling family in the spiritual world. Their direct and side branches were not like the Tang family in the spiritual world. The entire Tang family
They are all supported by their direct ancestors.
As for those who can become ancestors in the spiritual world, at least those who are in the Fusion Realm or above, there is no problem in living for thousands of years. Therefore, the boundaries between their direct and side branches are very clear.
But as a large family in the mortal world, their ancestors only have a lifespan of a hundred years. If they cannot cultivate a descendant who can serve as an official, the next generation of this direct descendant will probably decline.
But the decline of the direct branch does not mean the decline of the entire family. If someone from the side branch can raise up and become a high official, others will naturally regard them as the direct branch of the family.
You say they are side branches? They cannot be called direct branches? That’s easy. They are independent from the family. As far as their branch is concerned, don’t they become direct branches?
As for the other family members, who is willing to follow the declining direct branch, but not willing to follow the rising side branch? Therefore, in the end, Beetle hugs himself as the direct branch of the clan, and has no choice but to be abandoned by the family.
Therefore, the direct branch of this great family in the mortal world is very likely to become a side branch because of the failure, and the side branch may also become a direct branch because of the descendants of the family.
The fact that the ring of the ancestor of the Lin family can reach Father Lin's hands can only mean one thing. Their branch is the most authentic direct branch of the Lin family in ancient times.
Hearing what Lin's father said, Uncle Lin shook his head and sneered: "Brother, please don't lie to me. I don't know if our family has always been a side branch. As the eldest son, how can I not know? I have heard that the family
If there is any precious inheritance, it is passed directly to the eldest son.
As early as when I left home and fled, I heard that our family's heirloom storage ring was passed on to you. Why should you deny it?
Let me tell you the truth, brother, the emperor of Yueliang Kingdom has given one hundred thousand gold coins to collect storage rings. Brother, let’s go directly to Yueliang Kingdom and sell the ring. Then we can continue to make a
He’s a rich man.”
Father Lin was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "One hundred thousand gold coins, I want it too, but second brother, as I said just now, the ring is a relic of our ancestors and a symbol of the direct line of the Lin family. We are just a side branch.
How could the ring get into my hand? Don't think too much about it."
Father Lin said, walked towards the camel dung, and said: "This should be not far from the oasis. Let's go back as soon as possible to join our parents and go to the oasis. I heard that although the folk customs of Qinglang Country are fierce, the people are actually very simple.
Unlike us in the Tiger Country, where everyone has Wanwan Ruan in their belly, it shouldn’t be difficult for us to settle down and live in the Green Wolf Country.”
Uncle Lin was about to say something when he suddenly spotted a sneaky woman in the sand dune.
That woman is his wife.
Uncle Lin and the woman looked at each other. In order to prevent his eldest brother from discovering his wife, he immediately went over to block the direction and asked the eldest brother a question: "How can I be sure that this place is not far from the oasis?"
Father Lin used a stick to dig up the camel dung and introduced it to Uncle Lin: "As I said just now, this camel dung is still moist and should not be removed for more than ten days. There is one more thing I didn't mention just now.
You have to know that this is also the most critical point.
You see, there is colored grass in the dung, which means that the camels came not far from the oasis. Judging from the color of the camel dung, it should be less than three days' journey from the oasis."
