Text Text_Chapter 0643 Bloodline
0643
Ye Fan had heard that in some remote places, or some backward areas, there would be such ancient clan rules that continue to this day.
However, Zhoujia Village also belongs to the economically developed Jiang Province, and it is only an hour to drive out to the county seat, how can there be such a situation?
And there are no news media reports on such a village, which is enough to see that either the villagers keep it secret, or they ...... There is some force behind it, it has been hiding such a village.
"Huh...... It's hard to imagine, but that's it. Our village is said to be a village, but there is no village head, only a patriarch.
The patriarch is elected by every household in the village, while the clan elders are appointed by the family and have always been decided by the family. β
"What is that?" Su Qingxue wondered.
Zhou Xinjiang said: "I said, our Zhou clan has a long history, and I heard the clan elders say that it has been thousands of years, and there are not many written records at that time, we existed."
Do you think, thousands of years of inheritance, how can it be that there are only people from such a village? The Zhou family will definitely not be able to live with so many people.
Therefore, our Zhou clan has clan villages in various places, and each village has clan elders, which are managed by their own families. β
"What? It's all over the country, and where is the Zhou family?" Su Qingxue was surprised.
Zhou Xinjiang shook his head and sighed: "How do we know, we are just one of the many Zhou clansmen, the lowest clansmen.
If you want to know where your family is, you have to have enough talent, and if you are selected by the clan elders, and if you think it is a talent that can be created, you will be sent to your family."
When Ye Fan heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and there seemed to be an electric current running through his mind.
"Grandpa...... You ......"
Ye Fan suddenly remembered that when he and Su Qingxue were saving Zhou Xinjiang, the various ancient martial arts and true qi they showed didn't seem to surprise Zhou Xinjiang much, and the old man didn't ask much about this ancient martial arts from beginning to end.
Zhou Xinjiang smiled and said, "Child, are you only trying to figure it out now......?" I know, you've all practiced ancient martial arts, right?"
Su Qingxue also reacted, and said in astonishment: "Grandpa, you mean...... The Zhou family, the talent that can be created, is the talent who practices martial arts?!"
"Yes", Zhou Xinjiang nodded with a smile, "Our Zhou family has a tradition of cultivating ancient martial arts since ancient times, and the reason why this family is this family is this family, in addition to the purest bloodline, is that it is the child of this family, with a special bloodline.
It is said that this bloodline is beyond ordinary people, it is the power passed down from the ancestors in ancient times, and once awakened, it is extremely powerful.
When I was a child, I heard a clan elder say that in ancient times, our Zhou family still had an immortal-like existence, calling for wind and rain, and omnipotent......
However, just that time, the affairs of our own family are generally unknown to our low-level clansmen. β
If it was before, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue might not believe it, but last time, Ye Fan encountered "Shen Xi", a tomb of descendants of legendary immortals, in that mysterious tomb.
In addition, the mysterious bloodline reminded Ye Fan of Xiao Xin'er's phoenix bloodline and the mysterious and unknown background behind Xiao Xin'er......
Ye Fan swallowed his throat, although he felt incredible, but he believed it a little, and he didn't think that Zhou Xinjiang was talking nonsense.
What's more, such a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers is not developed by developers in a wealthy area like Jiang Province, which is amazing in itself!
"Xiaoxue, Ye Fan, where did you learn your ancient martial arts?" Zhou Xinjiang asked.
Ye Fan simply talked about his experience overseas since he was a child, and Su Qingxue talked about the origin of the Su family.
Zhou Xinjiang couldn't help but sigh, "You two children, you are really lucky, you know, our Zhou children have no talent, and they have no chance to practice martial arts." β
"Grandpa, I don't understand, even if the Zhou family is very old and has a big business, there is no need to restrict the development of the village, right? Why can't you develop this place? Isn't it good to let the clansmen get rich?" Su Qingxue wondered.
"It's because of the bloodline."
Without waiting for Zhou Xinjiang to say anything, Ye Fan spoke.
"Not bad", Zhou Xinjiang nodded, "Ye Fan is right, the main reason is that he doesn't want our village to have too much contact with the outside world.
In fact, in our Zhoujia Village, most of the young men and women are married within the clan, in order to give birth to children, there is a greater probability that there will be a special bloodline that can be awakened by the family.
Once there are more intermarriages with men and women from the outside world, the probability of this kind of bloodline will become smaller and smaller. β
"Is there such a bloodline in that village?" asked Su Qingxue.
"It is said that there was one six hundred years ago, and at that time, our Zhoujia Village relied on that ancestor, and the scenery was beautiful for a while, and then it was no more," Zhou Xinjiang sighed.
"This is also outrageous, for such an illusory bloodline, the lives of thousands of people in a village have come to a standstill?" Su Qingxue felt very unfair, "Aren't everyone in the village dissatisfied?"
Zhou Xinjiang smiled bitterly: "I'm used to it...... I grew up here, and I am not hungry and freezing, I also have a pension when I am old, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, it is quiet, and the air in the village is cleaner than outside.
Besides, if it was openly against the clan elders and the family, it would not be a joke.
Some clansmen were selected when they were young to go to their own homes to practice martial arts, but later found that they couldn't do it, so they were expelled back. I heard a few people say that some masters in the family are very terrifying, and they don't dare to mention anything else.
So here, everyone is very in awe of our own family, and we don't dare to talk nonsense about developing tourism and having more contacts with the outside world.
When we go out to the county town or go out to work, we have to tell the clan elders that it's okay. β
Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "No wonder, when my mother-in-law was pregnant outside, you two elders would have been so stiff with her, and it is estimated that the pressure in the clan is also very great, right?"
Zhou Xinjiang sighed: "If you get married and have children outside, you usually have to get angry with the clan elders, if you don't say it in advance, you will get married and have children outside without permission, you will be expelled from the clan, and you will never be allowed to return to the village."
Therefore, usually young men and women here will not talk to each other outside without authorization, and we are poor here, and generally men and women in the outside city do not look down on people here. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Xinjiang said with some embarrassment: "Xiaoxue, don't be angry, back then, I actually persuaded your mother to beat you out, so that you would not be expelled from the clan."
But she insisted on giving birth to you, and never came back, saying that your grandmother and I had died...... Actually, that's what she means when she can't see us. β
