The lake is Dongting Lake.

Dongting Lake is the boundary between Nanhu Province and Beihu Province, with the revival of the aura, Dongting Lake is becoming more and more vast, in addition to the area has expanded a lot, the clear lake water, but also exudes a palpitating atmosphere.

The Chu family is located in the mountains of the southern part of Dongting Lake.

An ancient garden is spread out, surrounded by mountains and rivers, overlooking from above, only to feel that it is staggered and exquisite.

"Hehe, it turned out that the Confucian King came, and I forgive you for not waiting to welcome you. ”

A loud laugh came out, and Chu Ge only felt that his eyes were flowering, and there were three more figures in front of him.

The leader has a long beard of five willows and is full of elegance, which is the Chu Liu he has seen before. On Chu Liu's left hand side, there was an old man with gray hair, the old man was full of red light, and he looked very kind.

The last person turned out to be a young man, who was in his early twenties, with dark skin and a cold countenance.

It should be a skill in residing in the face, right? Chu Ge couldn't help but look at the young man twice.

These three people are all Wang Realm monks. According to Chu Want's revelation before, the Chu clan has a total of three kings, Chu Liu needless to say, the other is named Chu Bai, who is the patriarch of the Chu family's wooden generation, and there is another one, which is the legendary second ancestor Chu Feng.

Chu Ge quietly glanced at the three of them a few times, although according to common sense, the gray-haired old man was more in line with the image of the second ancestor Chu Feng, after all, in terms of generation, Chu Feng was a generation older than Chu Liu and Chu Bai.

However, Chu Ge had a hunch that the second ancestor Chu Feng should be the young man with good looks.

Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Tao Zhizhi said to the young man with a smile: "I heard that Chu Feng, the second ancestor of the Chu family, returned to the family, but I don't know if it's a step?"

"It's just not talented. The young man said leisurely: "In Xia Chufeng, I have seen the Confucian King!"

Although Chu Feng looked like a young man, his voice looked extremely old.

Although he felt that it was a little strange for a young man to spit out such an old voice, Chu Ge lowered his head very knowingly and did not look at it unscrupulously.

"Brother Chu Feng has just returned, and he hasn't been honored yet, right?" Tao Zhizhi suddenly asked.

The so-called honorific title is the title of the monk of the Wang Realm, such as the Confucian King of Tao Zhizhi and the Hanjiang King of Chuliu. Of course, honorific titles are not only unique to the royal realm, but also have corresponding honorific titles in the feudal marquis realm and the national public realm.

"It's just a name, it's not worth mentioning. Chu Feng shook his head and said, "If there is nothing to do, I will retire first." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for the others to react, a dodge disappeared.

Tao Zhizhi was not annoyed when he saw this, but just smiled and said nothing.

"Hehe, I'm ...... The second uncle is a weak man and doesn't like to deal with people, so the Confucian king should not be surprised. Chu Liu explained awkwardly.

Could it be that he was holding a grudge against the events of the past? A thought appeared in Chu Ge's heart.

Back then, Chu Feng was chased and killed by the official for more than 2,000 miles, and finally had to jump off the cliff, if it wasn't for the chance to enter the secret realm, it is estimated that there would be no bones left by now.

In this case, it is also natural to hold a grudge against the official monks.

With Tao Zhizhi's demeanor, he naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, and after smiling slightly, he diverted the topic.

While chatting, several people came to the Chu family's living room.

Of course, it was Chu Liu, Chu Bai, and Tao Zhizhi who were chatting, and Chu Ge and the others just followed behind and listened obediently.

As soon as he entered the living room, Chu Liu ordered: "Chu Xu, you arrange your son and nephew to the courtyard prepared in advance. As for Chu Ge, let him go to the ancestral hall first, let the Chu Shu clan elder who manages the ancestral hall make a record, and then arrange something for him to do. ”

After speaking, Chu Liu smiled and said to Tao Zhizhi: "These two unsuccessful disciples have had a lot of trouble along the way, and they have thanked the Confucian King here......"

Seeing that Chu Liu obviously wanted to separate himself from Tao Zhizhi, Chu Ge couldn't help but curse secretly, and at the same time looked at Tao Zhizhi with hopeful eyes.

Tao Zhizhi didn't care about Chu Ge's eyes, and said with a smile: "King Hanjiang is polite, this matter is not worth mentioning." It's just ......"

Saying that, Tao Zhizhi's face showed helplessness, pointed at Chu Ge and said: "He is entrusted to me by an old friend, my old friend is a wandering wreck, if I can't fulfill his entrustment, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future."

Therefore, Chu Ge needs to live with me these days, and in addition, when the old man leaves, he must also take him away. The martial arts tournament is about to start soon, and the nobles must be very busy now, so they don't have to trouble Chu Ge anymore......"

Chu Liu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "The old friend that the Confucian King said is Wang Xuanzhang, right?

Tao Zhizhi smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Chu Liu's eyes flashed, and he also fell silent.

After a while, Chu Ge suddenly chuckled, shook his head and said, "Okay, even so, I can't force it." However, Chu Ge is a child of my Chu clan after all, even if he does not stay in the clan, he must enter the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors and leave his clan registration. ”

Tao Zhizhi nodded with a smile when he heard this, but did not stop it.

Chu Ge's mind turned sharply, knowing that there must have been a confrontation between the two of them when they were silent before, it seemed that Tao Zhizhi had won the battle, otherwise Chu Liu would not have changed his words so easily.

Hehe, find something to do, to put it nicely, don't you still want to force me to stay in the Chu clan? Fortunately, the young master brought a big backer, otherwise it would be really troublesome!

Hmph, don't you just want to steal my inheritance? The old devil's revised version of the "Reincarnation of Heaven and Man Sutra" can't kill you!

Chu Ge was disdainful in his heart, but he was still respectful on the surface, and after giving a salute to Tao Zhizhi and Chu Liu, he got up and followed Chu Xiang to leave, and Kong Shen also gave a salute to the two and left.

......

On the way to the ancestral hall, Chu Yu introduced the surrounding environment very attentively and some passing clansmen. After hearing that Chu Ge was Chu Cang's son, those people showed disdain.

However, under Chu Yu's serious eyes, no one came to find fault or say cool words without opening his eyes.

For those disdainful eyes, Chu Ge left them all behind.

Heh, a group of brain-dead people who have been distorted by the family's education, they don't have their own independent thoughts at all, they only know that people are the same, and they are not worthy of Chu Ge's general knowledge with them.

Of course, the premise of not having the same knowledge as them is that there are no fools to find fault with and provoke.

In addition to the children of the Chu family, there were many children of other families on the road, all of whom came to participate in the family martial arts competition.

The martial arts competition will start the day after tomorrow, and most of the families have already sent their children in advance, so at this time, people have almost arrived, which makes the originally quiet Chu clan a lot more lively.

Not long after, the three of them came to the middle of the Chu Garden, in front of a magnificent building.

This is the ancestral hall of the Chu family, in addition to the largest main ancestral hall in the middle, there is also a large area of slightly smaller ancestral halls scattered around, which is the ancestral hall of each branch alone.

Although the ancestral hall is located in the middle of the garden, few people come to it. The vast majority of the people who live in the Chu family garden now are the children of the family, and under the influence of the ears and eyes since childhood, the children of the family are full of awe for the ancestral hall.

Therefore, even the children of other families rarely pass by here, and would rather take some long detours than walk arbitrarily in front of the ancestral hall.
