News of the change in family rules quickly spread among the family, and what everyone was most concerned about was the fact that the tenth uncle became an elder.
According to the original clan rules, it is unlikely that most monks will become elders.
Their efforts and dedication to the family may not be rewarded.
Now that the clan rules have been changed, many people who had no hope of becoming elders now see hope.
Even if he is just an honorary elder, his monthly salary and status are real.
Even if you don't become an elder, it's not bad to be a steward, and the salary ratio is much higher than before.
Moreover, I heard that in the future we will change the monthly tribute for clan members. Those who have made special contributions will be given more contribution points and more monthly tribute.
The work enthusiasm of the clan members suddenly increased, and the whole family's spiritual outlook took on a new look.
In these years, Uncle Ten has been staying in Jingtieshan, managing the business at Heluliuzhou.
The family is establishing various halls and has many affairs. As the merchant elder, the tenth uncle needs to go back as soon as possible to sort out the affairs of the merchant hall.
In addition, preparations must be made for the succession celebration of the patriarch.
It will take several days for him to come back on the spiritual boat.
In order not to delay things, Wang Daoyuan personally took Yun Yi to pick up his tenth uncle.
The story of the Yun Yihu at Cangyun Peak and the roar of the tiger that subdued ten foundation-building monks spread around the area.
The tribesmen were also very excited when they saw Yunyi flying in the sky.
Yun Yi was even more excited. He was bullied all day long in the Lingzhu space and could not fly freely.
After the Lingzhu space was upgraded, its height was less than thirty feet, which was too small for its huge body.
Now that it has the chance to come out, it is willing to do hard work.
As soon as this guy came out, it flew like crazy. Wang Daoyuan's sword couldn't catch up with it.
Simply ride it and drive on.
Yun Yi flew at normal speed, exceeding two thousand miles in one hour.
One person and one tiger arrived at Jingtie Mountain in less than an hour.
The people of Jingtieshan were very envious when they saw Wang Daoyuan riding Yun Yihu.
Time was urgent and he didn't have time to stay long, so he picked up his tenth uncle and returned to Yuquan Peak.
The tenth uncle was also over one hundred and ten years old. He was flying in the air on cloud wings, and he was as excited as a child.
Yunyi flew very fast, and Wang Daoyuan applied a spiritual protective shield to him.
He said excitedly: "Daoyuan, take off the protective cover and let me feel the feeling of flying."
I have always envied you, the foundation-building monks, for being able to fly with swords.
It's a pity that the Foundation Establishment Monk cannot take people with him while flying with his sword, so he has never flown before.
I didn’t expect that the grave soil was buried up to my neck, but I would have a chance.”
Wang Daoyuan asked Yunyi to reduce the speed and then put away the protective cover.
Feeling the wind blowing on his cheeks, an old man over a hundred years old was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
The two quickly arrived at Yuquan Peak. As soon as the tenth uncle landed, he began to command the clan members and prepare for the clan leader's succession ceremony.
Five days later, the entire Yuquan Peak will be covered in red and colorful, and it will be full of joy. Next, guests will be invited.
This job can only fall to Wang Daoyuan. The Qi training monk is too slow and he is the only junior foundation building monk.
After all, there is no reason for elders to do the job of sending invitations.
Preparing for the Punishment Hall is also simple. The Punishment Hall usually does not have regular work.
A few tribesmen with integrity and management experience were found to be the stewards, and the daily affairs were left to them.
It took three days to finally visit all the families in the northern part of Qingli County that were friendly to the Wang family.
Half a month later, the patriarchal succession ceremony officially began.
Wang Daochang and Wang Daoyuan were responsible for welcoming the guests. Wang Daochang was responsible for welcoming the Qi-training monks, and Wang Daoyuan was responsible for welcoming the Foundation-building monks.
Meng Changfeng came personally to the Meng family, while Yang Yulin was sent by the Yang family.
Families belonging to the same Yang family camp as the Wang family, or elders who were building foundations or at the peak of their Qi training, all sent people to celebrate.
The congratulatory gifts sent were also relatively simple, mostly elixirs, elixirs, magic weapons and the like that could be used by monks in the early stages of foundation building.
Within half a day, all the friendly families nearby had arrived.
The handover ceremony between the new and old patriarchs is about to begin. Wang Daoyuan and Wang Daochang will also return to the ancestral temple to participate in the handover ceremony.
At this moment, a sword light flashed from the southwest.
A few breaths later, a foundation-building monk landed in front of Wang Daoyuan.
The visitor laughed loudly and said: "The Wang family doesn't regard me as a friend. The clan leader handed over such a big matter without notifying me.
Today, I have to give Fellow Daoist Wang a good drink."
Wang Daoyuan bowed and saluted: "Senior Li, please forgive me. Our families are thousands of miles apart. I have to deal with many things every day. I don't dare to bother you with trivial matters."
The person who came was none other than Li Xinghe, the head of the Li family who had a conflict with the Jin family outside Jinyan City.
Wang Daoyuan welcomed Li Xinghe to the ancestral temple. At this time, the older generation of foundation-building monks were all talking around Wang Zhian, and the younger generation were talking around Wang Shouye.
When Wang Zhian saw Li Xinghe coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Li Xinghe scolded: "Wang Daoyou, you don't regard me as a friend.
For such a big event, you didn't even send me an invitation.
I came here uninvited, could it be that the Wang family didn't prepare any food and drinks for me?"
Wang Zhian smiled and said: "You are a busy man with many things to do. How can I dare to bother you with such a trivial matter?"
Don’t worry about the food and wine, I’ll get you drunk dozens of times.”
Li Xinghe sighed and said: "I really envy you. There are successors to the Wang family, and you have such a good heir as Shou Ye.
There are also two young friends, Daoyuan and Daochang, who are also able to play leading roles.
Unlike me, I have to personally deal with all family matters."
Wang Zhian smiled and said: "You are too modest. There are over a hundred monks in the Li family, and among the ones I have seen, there are two juniors who can take the lead.
If you want to be like me and concentrate on cultivation, can you still find someone to entrust you to?"
Li Xinghe smiled happily and said: "There are indeed a few juniors in the clan who can be entrusted with big responsibilities, but they are still far behind compared to the three juniors like you.
And they are not very mature yet, so I still feel uneasy leaving the family to them now."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and soon, the clan leader handover ceremony officially began.
Taigong Wang Jize personally read out the sacrificial rites in front of the ancestral temple and informed the ancestors that the family had a new patriarch.
The memorial article first praised Wang Zhian for re-stabilizing the family that was on the verge of collapse during his tenure as patriarch, and for leading the family to prosperity.
Later, he praised Wang Shouye for his excellent talent and worthy of a great responsibility. He would definitely inherit the legacy of his ancestors, carry on the ambition of reviving the family, and lead the family to regain its former glory.
Finally, I pray to my ancestors to bless the family and keep the family prosperous and the inheritance to last for thousands of years.
After the memorial ceremony was read out, the next step was for the old and new clan chiefs to hand over the clan chief's seal.
Wang Zhi'an handed Wang Shouye the Jingtao Sword, which represented the identity of the clan leader, and the clan's great seal, and gave him a few words of encouragement.
The Jingtao Sword was a commonly used magical weapon when Wang Chengzu was still a foundation-building monk.
Later, because the head of the Wang family had always been a foundation-building monk, this sword became the identity symbol of the head of the Wang family.
Wang Shouye bowed and took the sword and seal, indicating that he would work hard and lead the family to regain its former glory.
The clan leader handover ceremony is over, and then the banquet begins.
Wang Daoyuan led everyone to the auditorium below the ancestral temple and directly north of Jade Dragon Spring.
The auditorium would only be used for important events such as distinguished guests coming to the door or a clan leader taking over.
The last part of the ceremony to entertain guests was held in the auditorium.
The Wang family currently has various kinds of spirit beasts, a lot of spirit fruits, and red blood brewing that has been stored for decades. In addition, they have opened restaurants for more than 20 years, and there are also several clan members with good craftsmanship.
All the guests who came to congratulate the guests were full of praise for the Wang family's food and wine.
