Chapter 648: Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Sect
In the tall hall, dozens of people were sitting on both sides. The five elders I saw just now were sitting in the front row. In the middle was a passage several meters wide, leading to the altar. There was a statue several meters high on the altar.
He has a kind face and his eyes are so radiant that if you don't look carefully, you will think he is a living person.
Seeing the statue, Chen Qingyun exclaimed from the bottom of his heart and almost blurted out: This statue is exactly the same as the statue in Emperor Yan's Mausoleum, only more vivid.
Seeing Chen Qingyun coming in, Tang Zhongliang took him to the last seat in the front row and then retreated to the last row.
Everyone in the hall stared at Chen Qingyun curiously. There had been no guests in the alien space for many years, and Chen Qingyun was so young. Although they were surprised, no one made a sound.
Being stared at by dozens of coercive gazes, Chen Qingyun felt tremendous pressure. After sitting down, he started to use the qi-gazing technique and looked at the people in front of him calmly.
Chen Qingyun didn't know that his demeanor always caught the attention of Clan Chief Ji. Being able to behave freely in such a situation showed that Chen Qingyun's character was much higher than that of ordinary people.
The ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan began. Protector Tang explained the reasons for recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan without any expression, and his gentle and clear voice echoed in the hall.
Tang Zhongliang is the eldest son of their generation. He has shown excellent training qualifications since he was a child. The entire Yan clan is full of hope for him. Unexpectedly, just when he was about to enter Xiantian, Tang Zhongliang actually fell in love with a woman from the outside world. Then
This was China's darkest period.
The elders in the family are firmly opposed to his love affair. If he gets married after entering the innate world, it will have a profound impact on him and his descendants.
Before entering Xiantian, the children of the Yan clan could not enter the alien space to practice, and geniuses were no exception. This gave Tang Zhongliang the opportunity.
Tang Zhongliang, who was lost in love, rebounded from the family's suppression even more. When his father was not paying attention, Tang Zhongliang ran away from Lieyan Mountain. The entire Yan tribe was furious and announced that Tang Zhongliang would be expelled from the family.
Tang Zhongliang also expected this outcome and did not dare to return to the Lieyan Mountains for decades. Until Tang Jing retrieved Tang Yu and found that Tang Yu's qualifications were better than his own. When he returned to China for the Spring Festival, he ventured back to the Yan tribe.
Regarding whether to readmit Tang Zhongliang's family, the Yan tribe was divided into two factions. It was not until recently that they came to a unanimous opinion. Because the Yan tribe was in great need of high-quality talents like Tang Yu, they had to slightly change the clan rules, which can be regarded as advancing with the times.
Protector Tang's voice was very sincere, and the clansmen sitting in the main hall were very pious. Chen Qingyun was very emotional, in this closed world, family is everything.
After the first program was completed, the elder who presided over the ceremony sang the names of Tang Zhongliang and Tang Yu, and the father and son walked to the statue and knelt down in the same piety.
The clan leader came out and took the three sticks of sandalwood from the presiding elder. Tang Zhongliang and his son, who were kneeling on the Pu Tuan, also took the sandalwood. After three kowtows and nine bows, they inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner in front of the statue.
"Congratulations to the Yan Clan! Congratulations to the clan leader! Congratulations to Uncle Tang and Tang Yu!" After the ceremony was completed, Chen Qingyun immediately stood up and clasped his fists and cupped his hands to congratulate everyone.
Chen Qingyun was the only guest. He stood up to congratulate him at this time, and the timing was perfect.
"Hahaha, Xiaoyu has made a good big brother." Chief Ji laughed happily, came to Chen Qingyun, hugged his shoulders and said, "Thank you for coming, the Yan Clan will remember your friendship."
The return of clan members, especially those who have entered Xiantian or are about to enter Xiantian, has never happened in the Yan clan in the past hundred years. Everyone was very happy. After the ceremony, they all flocked to the dining room behind the main hall.
The celebration banquet is ready.
"My friend, please." Chief Ji personally accompanied Chen Qingyun to the dining hall and pulled him straight towards the top.
Chen Qingyun understood what the patriarch meant. Looking at the room full of people who could be his grandfather, Chen Qingyun could no longer calm down and said coyly: "Clan Chief Ji, isn't it appropriate?"
"My little friend shouldn't be shy, right?" Chief Ji said cheerfully: "The seat next to me is the guest of honor, and you are the only honored guest. If you don't sit in this seat, it will be empty."
Chen Qingyun used his Qi-gazing technique, and his turbulent mind immediately calmed down like water, and he said calmly: "Thank you, Patriarch Ji, for your kindness, Qingyun has overstepped my bounds."
Sensing the change in Chen Qingyun's expression, Chief Ji and other elders couldn't help but stare at Chen Qingyun who was sitting safely.
Chen Qingyun's gaze inadvertently swept across the entire dining hall and found that there were only barbecues on every table on extra-large wooden plates, piled up like a hill.
Could it be that the Yan tribe's diet is so simple, just one dish?
Before Chen Qingyun could think about it, a greeting whispered in his ear, and Chen Qingyun had to put his thoughts back.
Chief Ji said gently: "Young friend Qingyun, don't be too modest. After the celebration banquet, the competition between the Yan Clan and the Clan will begin immediately. Are you interested?"
"Comparison between clans?" Chen Qingyun said curiously: "I would like to hear the details."
Chief Ji smiled and said: "My little friend, you are curious about the Yan Clan. I invite you here today to help you understand. The Yan Clan is the descendant of Emperor Yan. The seventh Yan Emperor's surname was Jiang, and he had seven sons, each of whom was given the surname Jiang.
Ji, Jian, Pi, Tang, Shang, and Zhou built Lieyan Castle as their family headquarters, and set up Lieyan Seven Villages to communicate with the outside world."
Chen Qingyun said in confusion: "There are dozens of ethnic groups in China, why is there no Yan tribe among them?"
Chief Ji said with a smile: "In every dynasty of the Yan Clan, there have been children who have entered the world, but they do not call themselves Yan Clan. Whenever the Yan Clan's children enter Xiantian, they will return to Lieyan Castle to live in seclusion. Of course, there are also those who set up their own families, Yan Clan.
The clan has no objection.”
"How long does Fiery Flame Castle exist?"
"It should have been tens of thousands of years, right?" Chief Ji said nonchalantly: "The Yan clan has produced many strong men who have ascended to the upper world long ago. All monks above Nascent Soul will ascend after passing through the tribulation, and we can only
Able to analyze past events based on information from seniors.”
Chen Qingyun said humbly: "I don't know anything about the world of cultivation. Please ask Chief Ji to clarify my doubts."
Bai Yunzi did not tell the past of the world of cultivation in order not to affect Chen Qingyun's practice. He thought it was not time yet.
Chief Ji glanced at Chen Qingyun strangely. Judging from his reaction, he was better than the disciples of the sect. How could he not understand the world of cultivation?
"The Yan Clan's information only records the war between gods and demons." Chief Ji said slowly: "Thousands of years ago, the three major cultivation sects of gods, demons and demons clashed. A tragic war broke out, and countless strong people left the earth.
, I don’t know where it ends.”
"Are there no survivors?"
"The war between gods and demons is taking place in another space, otherwise it is still unknown whether the earth can exist."
"How will the war between gods and demons end?"
"Of course, humans who claim to be gods won, but since then, the descendants of gods have been divided into countless sects. They have been passed down to this day, and I'm afraid there are not many left."
"Clan leader, I have been to Jijiazhuang, another holy land of cultivation in China. Is that Jijia related to the Yan tribe?"
"My little friend really has a lot of history. He has even been to Jijiazhuang. Jijiazhuang also belongs to the descendants of the Yan tribe, but it is not ours. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Ji Fa ascended to the throne as King of Zhou, and the descendants of Ji Kao devoted themselves to cultivation.
Practice and become the guardian of this planet."
"Who is the guardian?"
"This title comes from Ji Fa's mouth. We don't know if there is another explanation behind it. We only guard Lieyan Castle and have no contact with the secular world or other sects. Once we leave Lieyan Castle, no one can
He considers himself to be a member of the Yan Clan."
No wonder the Yan Clan only hears its name in China and has become the most mysterious existence. It turns out that the Yan Clan did it intentionally. It seems that this Fierce Flame Fort hides the greatest secret of the earth, so much so that the masters of the Yan Clan are willing to guard it.
Clan Chief Ji didn’t say anything, and Chen Qingyun couldn’t ask. Only the core members of the Yan Clan knew about the matter involving secrecy.
"Patriarch, everyone is here, shall we start the celebration?" The guardian sitting at the bottom of the table said softly: "Can you say a few words to everyone."
The patriarch was chatting with the distinguished guests, while the other elders and guardians remained silent. However, everyone in the dining hall was focused on the head table, and the guardian who presided over the ceremony had to interrupt the communication between the patriarch and Chen Qingyun.
Hearing this, Chief Ji nodded to Chen Qingyun, then stood up, and his soft voice spread to every corner of the dining hall: "Today is a great day for the Yan clan. Tang Zhongliang and his son recognized their ancestors and returned to the clan. Our Yan clan has added another new member."
He is a cultivation genius; little friend Chen Qingyun’s visit to the Yan Clan is something that has not happened to the Yan Clan in hundreds of years. With these two happy events, this year’s Clan Festival will be held a few days early and will start tomorrow. Let’s all celebrate.”
The patriarch's words were very brief. After everyone listened, they unanimously stretched their chopsticks to the delicacies on the table.
Most of the monks here have reached the fasting stage. As long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, not eating for a long time will have no impact on the body. It is just the enjoyment brought by delicious food, which cannot be replaced by spiritual energy or fasting pills.
"Qingyun, why are you still standing there? Let's eat something first, and then we'll drink." Protector Tang saw Chen Qingyun distracted and said lovingly: "The Yan tribe is very casual, not like the secular world with many rules, you don't need to be restrained, otherwise
No one will leave good things for you."
Chen Qingyun is indeed thinking about things in the secular world. Scenes like this often happen in the secular world. When encountering major events that have not happened for hundreds of years, people are not only fanatical, but the ritual procedures will also become complicated and impassioned speeches.
There will definitely be one after another, and the applause and cheers will be louder and louder.
In front of me, everyone was facing all this calmly, and the excitement in their hearts was also written on their faces, which immediately turned into the motivation to attack the food.
"I'm sorry." After listening to Protector Tang's greeting, Chen Qingyun apologized shamefully, but found that everyone didn't care about his attitude and only focused on the food.
The food was truly silent, and the entire dining hall could not even hear the sound of chewing. Not to mention the behavior of toasting each other. Chen Qingyun was very surprised. Could it be that the monks were so indifferent among themselves.
What Chen Qingyun encountered in the Yuxu Sect was different. When they celebrated, everyone put aside the constraints of the master-disciple hierarchy and it was very lively.
Infected by this atmosphere, Chen Qingyun also extended his chopsticks to the unknown barbecue on the table. At this moment, Chen Qingyun understood the reason why everyone was silent.
