Chapter 180: Guardian of the Ancestral Hall
Audi drove through the gutter under the torii, came to a steady stop in a puff of dust, promised to poke his head out, and looked around.
On the left-hand side is a small three-story building, neat but a little unpopular, and unlike other people, there is a plaque such as "Eternal Liufang", which only has two words "Cheng" written on the red lantern at the door. What had been a deserted market was now used by private individuals, and another road was opened on the right to the rest of the world.
Since the death of his parents, he has never been to this place again, and the things in his meager memory before the age of six are now these, and even the street shop opposite the torii is completely unfamiliar.
Along the way, he carried the communication method of "I can't say anything if I say a little bit and can't say it again", and the conversation box was wide open, and he told the promise a lot of things that he could not say for him in the past 18 years, such as this village and town, this ancestral hall.
This village and town located in the eastern part of the province is certainly not the ancestral home of the Cheng family, after all, several generations of the Cheng family took root in Beijing long before Cheng Feng was born, and the place where Cheng Feng and his family migrated to was the city in the south of the province, so the only role of this place is the ancestral hall.
Why don't you build the ancestral hall in this city? Chengfeng can be described as far-sighted. In addition to preventing others from following the vine and touching the melons to bring the inheritance family and the ancestral hall to the end, he only looked at the situation of the whole country once, and then scanned the customs and customs of the province, and decided that this village and town have not changed much even after seven generations, to put it bluntly, it is this village and town that still retains many customs and practices of the feudal superstition period. The great benefit of this is that the villagers regard the ancestral hall as an extremely important building, especially the ancestral hall of more than 100 years, which is often considered to have divinity, once destroyed or offended, the ancestral punishment of the ancestral hall is light, and the ancestral hall of the family is exterminated, so the situation has changed for seven generations, and the ancestral hall of the Chengjia family and other people's ancestral halls here are still standing.
But the Cheng family lives in another city, and if something happens to the ancestral hall, it can't quench the thirst of the near water, so Chengfeng has laid a barrier here - Zhanjia.
The Zhan family didn't know how many years they had been the housekeeper of the Cheng family before Cheng Feng was born, and the saying in the capital at that time was: The son kills the father, the minister kills the king, and the Zhan family will never be seen betraying the Cheng family. It is very normal for Promise to express his incomprehension when he hears this, and this kind of loyalty from one family to another, although often seen in secondary novels, is almost impossible to investigate. In particular, Chengfeng arranged the marriage of the Zhan family's generations of capable people, so that the appearance rate of the Zhan family's current ability is almost 100%, and it can be called the first major family in the local business, but the Cheng family has a meager blood and has lost the ability of the ability, and the Zhan family in this situation is still loyal to the Cheng family and earnestly guards the ancestral hall, which is more powerful than the next Gu, and may only be able to do it by changing the gene sequence.
"It's not easy for you to be on the right path," Cheng Yan expressed a slight recognition of his brother's IQ after hearing it, "but there is no need." ”
Because the Zhan family itself does not have a normal genetic sequence.
The people in their family have a genetic disease, calling themselves "white souls", which is actually not a disease, and the clinical manifestation is extremely receptive to external things. When ordinary people reach a certain age, they will form their own worldview, outlook on life, and values, and even if they can change slightly, they will not change in essence. Since birth, the Zhan family will compare it with what they already know, and once they feel better, they will incorporate the new concepts and explanations into their three views, and the previous set will be immediately discarded no matter how many years it takes, and sometimes the Zhan family can change their three views again before they die. Everything is like a simple and straightforward soul, which is only received dialectically in the transmission of the outside world, and does not have a deeply rooted self-concept.
I heard that the earliest ancestor of the Zhan family came out to steal because his family was poor, and he was caught by the patrol guards in the market. Although there were also a lot of kindnesses between the later generations of the Cheng family and the Zhan family, in the final analysis, the three views of the Zhan family at that time were just to repay the kindness, and there were many circumstances that could make them betray the Cheng family. It wasn't until Chengfeng's plan gradually took shape that the Zhan family really became the kind of family in the capital's saying, after all, the three views of salvation are not something that can be overturned casually.
The genetic disease of "White Soul" is easy to lead people astray because of its wavering characteristics, but fortunately, the Zhan family has obtained the three views of salvation, since it is difficult to overthrow, it has also avoided a lot of turmoil in ten generations and hundreds of generations.
"Because you had a slightly serious secondary school tendency when you were a child, I also carefully considered the following before deciding to say it. Cheng Yan said that when he talked about this position, he explained the reason for the pause solemnly, and then continued with a helpless face, "Taizu made a rule back then, and after that, each generation of the Cheng family must have a carefully selected Zhan family as a guardian, and it must be absolutely strong and loyal. ”
"We met for the first time before we entered the ancestral hall at the age of 18. The bearer added.
Such a little partner who combines attributes such as shadow guards, loyal dogs, housekeepers, etc., is destined to have one, and the promise is also like his brother and sister who were blown up in the plot, but since there is, then... Yes~
"It's coming. The short time to summarize the promise was over, and at the prompt of the bearer, a few people came out of the passage on the right.
"Zhan Song. ”
"Great young master. ”
The elder brother's guardian is a tall and sturdy man, with a gold chain the thickness of a little finger around his neck, which is very in line with the dress of the rich men in this place, and it is said that he is also an elemental group of electric species, but it is really different from the old brother's mage style, and his body should be quite powerful and majestic when he wields a lightning chain.
"Miss, I'll take it. ”
"Okay. ”
At first glance at the elder sister's guardian Zhan Shuo, the promised mind floated through 10,000 Lihai, such a submissive and cute obedience is completely like a small chorre at a recruiting station that is bullied by eve, or an element group light species is simply a matter of opening a plug-in for the old sister for seconds.
None of the people who had come up to this point had gone forward, and they all stood solemnly behind Zhan Song Zhan Shuo.
"Don't be discouraged, it's always been the first time you meet to enter the door. "Promise is not more like the spirit than the promise, and a casual reaction can understand the mind.
"Master Da, the old mansion will send someone in to check and clean it again, let's go to our house first. Zhan Song said a few words in the local dialect behind him, and led the way with Zhan Shuo with his luggage.
It turns out that the road on the right is only one or two hundred meters ahead of the small door of the exhibition house, no wonder my father used to say that when he went out for tea or visited the door, he could rush back immediately when he encountered something at home, and he has always believed in the admonition that his father said that his father was 100 meters and ten seconds... It's nice to be young, innocent...
The exhibition house and the Chengzhai are in line with the local architectural style, but the difference is that compared with the three-story building, the first local family has a family residence equivalent to a whole community because of the rich and powerful people.
"The building over there is newly built. The bearer asked as he walked.
"Yes, a few years ago, when I gave the old seven of Sanmen a full moon wine, it was newly built, and their family is also prosperous. ”
"But there are many people in Sanmen, and there are no elites. Cheng Yan spit out slightly.
"I can't care about it, I can't do it, I have to learn more from the six subjects. ”
The content of the chat makes the promise drown in dreams again and again, from the beginning to the present, it feels like the protagonist of Mary Suvin or Jack Wen, who just appeared plain and then immediately turned over to the peak of life, and the plot came too fast like a tornado.
Walking back and forth to the Zhanjia ancestral hall, the hall in front of them was crowded, and the Zhanjia family also used the biggest pomp to greet them.
Walking to the position where a normal person could just see his face, the whole hall looked at the hall intentionally or unintentionally, and the person who was about the head of the Zhan family nodded to the person standing next to him under this gaze, and the person greeted him directly.
"Hello young master, my name is Zhan Yan, and I am your guardian. ”
