Text 12 - Nine Ancient Families

"If it weren't for such a big waterhole under this cliff, the two of us would have died in this wilderness today. You hurry up and find something to eat, drink a stomach full of water, you're dying of hunger, didn't you say you want to eat bear's paws, I want to eat, I want to eat......" Ouyang Xuan sat on the big stone by the waterhole, roasting the fire and said resentfully.

"I can't eat bear's paws today, but here's this, haha. Ling Nuo stood not far away, holding two fish in his hand, and said with a grin.

"Come on, come on, roast quickly, roast quickly, I want to eat. Ouyang Xuan shouted eagerly,

"Haha, you little gluttonous cat, it's good, I'll roast it for you right away. Ling Nuo walked over and said, scratching Ouyang Xuan's nose with his middle finger.

"Hey, Ling Nuo, let me ask you, you answer honestly, in today's situation, with my understanding of you, with your driving skills, you can completely avoid it, why do you want to drive the car down the cliff directly to avoid the car on the opposite side, if it weren't for this waterhole, the two of us would have died and even the scum would be gone." ”

"Well, what you know about me doesn't mean that people from other ancient families also know about it, as for this waterhole, I already knew that there was a waterhole. Ling Nuo said disapprovingly.

"Are you saying that there are other people from the Gu family following us, and how do you know about this puddle, and that runaway truck was also arranged by you.... Confused. Ouyang Xuan looked at Ling Nuo and asked.

"Otherwise, the secrets of that world are only known to the people of our nine ancient families. As for how I know about this waterhole, I lived here from the age of 1 to 5. ”

The ancient family, as the name suggests, has existed in the long history of China, and has multiplied from generation to generation, but only the nine families that still exist today, including the Ling family and the Ouyang family. However, the nine major families have developed so far, and they all have the power to shake the country. But in order for the strength of the family to be concentrated and better developed, each ancient family is a single transmission, not to say that only one child is born, but among the many children of the head of the family, separate from all over the world, cultivate and select the best, at the age of 6, take back the family, inherit the position of the head of the family in the future, manage all the things of the family, and the children who do not become the head of the family will be expelled from the family together with their mothers, and have nothing to do with the family from now on. However, Ling Nuo was honed and tested here back then.

The nine ancient families are:

One: Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan family originated from the surname Ji of the Western Zhou Dynasty, from the surname of the descendants of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Jun clan of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji, belongs to the name of the ancestor as the clan;

2: Dongguo family, originated from the Yandi Shennong clan. Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Shui, because he took Jiang as his surname, Shennong's, Gonggong's, Youtai's, and Lu's were all surnamed Jiang, and the current Dongguo family is a branch of the Jiang surname.

Three: Ouyang family, Ouyang family, the earliest can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty. The surname Ouyang comes from the surname of Ouyang, the Xia monarch Shaokang sealed his concubine without more than Huiji, to the king of Yue Wujiang, was destroyed by Chu, Wujiang Zihu was sealed in the Yang of Wucheng Ouyu Mountain, named Ouyang Tinghou, and then took the fief as the clan, and his descendants were therefore surnamed "Ou" or "Ouyang", but the current Ouyang family is Ouyang Tinghou, the descendants of Wujiang.

Four: Confucian family: The Confucian family is the descendant of the Shang Dynasty monarch Chengtang, and one of his descendants is combined with the surname "Zi" of the Shang family and the "B" in the name of Chengtang to form the surname Kong.

Five: Ling family; The Ling family is the eldest grandson of the Yellow Emperor 10 and the descendants of the Yao derivative surname of the Shun Emperor Yao Chonghua. The first person with Ling as his surname was born in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, which was founded by the youngest son of King Wen of Zhou. At that time, the location of Weiguo was in the area of present-day Hebei and Henan, and the ancestor was Uncle Kang, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. In the early history, the Ling clan seems to be relatively quiet.

Six: Historian: The historian is the Yellow Emperor, the Shi Huang clan who created the text, the descendant of Cangjie, and belongs to the official title of the clan. According to legend, Cangjie was a native of Nanle, Henan, and was a historian during the Yellow Emperor period, known as "Shi Huang's family". According to legend, in ancient times, there was a historian under the Yellow Emperor, named Cangjie, known as "Emperor Shi". And the historian is also the direct descendant of this Shi Huang.

Seven: Shangguan family; Shangguan family is the Spring and Autumn Period, the descendants of King Chu Huai, King Chu Huai named his youngest son Lan as the doctor of Shangguan Yi, and the descendants of Lan then took the name of Yi as the surname, called Shangguan.

Eight: Ye family, Zhuan Xuan is its distant ancestor, respect Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang as the ancestor, but the origin of the Ye family is now unverifiable, even the people of the Ye family, there is nothing to know.

Nine: Nalan family; Nalan is the "surname of the white number" of the Jurchen in the Jin Dynasty. The Nalan clan in the Yehe region of Manchuria was originally a Mongol with the surname Tumut, and later, the Nalan tribe of the Jurchens was destroyed and occupied its territory, so it took Nalan as the surname.

The nine families were originally local families in China, but because of some changes in history, many families have left China and gone abroad to develop, such as the Ling family, who was forced to go to Europe in that accident, and it can be said that it is a hidden super family in the world, leading the economic development of some small countries in Europe. The development of the Ouyang family abroad is not to develop the economy like the Ling family, but to rely on the ancient martial arts that the ancient family has inherited uniquely, and establish killer organizations and mercenary groups abroad, which are now the top existences in the world.

Speaking of the ancient martial arts inherited by the ancient family, this is worth talking about, the nine ancient families may be different in this way and that in the present world, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have the inheritance of martial arts of the family, and this inheritance of martial arts is only passed on to the niece of the family, that is, the head of each family, as well as the brothers and sisters of the head of the family, to put it bluntly, it is born to a father, and it must be born to a mother, in order to ensure the excellence of the heirs of the next generation, so the head of each ancient family will definitely not marry only one woman.
