Chapter 43: The Oriental Family
No one on board thought about it. It took me five years to get here, and it only took a little more than a year to get back.
When Chen'er agreed to the great monk's request, the great monk went on the road with them. But instead of taking a boat, he sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea on the side of the boat.
For some reason, the great monk who was once a Buddha lost his body and only had a skin, and was imprisoned by himself in the East China Sea Forbidden Zone, and he once vowed to be trapped in the forbidden area forever to repent and atone for his sins, and if one day he left the water, it would be the time of destruction.
Everyone was puzzled by what sins he had committed in the past to make him treat himself like this. The great monk didn't talk to them in detail, and they didn't dare to ask more.
Ever since the Great Monk had followed their ship, the speed of the ship had increased to an incredible level, and the great horrors had not been encountered again.
A word of calm, all the way is smooth, and it will take four years to travel. It was done in just over a month.
In the meantime, an interesting thing happened, that is, Chen'er, who often chatted with the great monk, one day he didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly discussed Buddhism with the great monk.
said that it was discussing the Dharma, but in the ears of the rest of the people, it could only be regarded as a great monk preaching the Dharma, and Chen'er was talking nonsense.
But in this way, Chen'er was actually said by the great monk to have Huigen, and wanted to lure Chen'er into Buddhism, but in the end, Dongfang Ming refused for Chen'er a few times, and then it was over.
It's not that Dongfang Ming is bold enough to dare to wipe the face of the great terror in the forbidden area, but he has already regarded Chen'er as the key to the future rise of the Dongfang family.
Sometimes, some beliefs are enough to make people not afraid of death.
......
......
The Dongfang family has a long history, which has been recorded in the history of several ordinary dynasties, and is a well-known Xianjia sect in the vicinity.
Dongfangjia is located on a mountain range that is not particularly tall in the Eastern Wilderness, and in the center is a three-story ancient pagoda with ten hills evenly distributed around it, guarding the ancient pagoda.
Legend has it that the history of the ancient pagoda is longer than that of the Oriental Family, and the ancient pagoda already existed before the Oriental Family established a sect here. But at that time, the ancient tower was just an ordinary tower, and since the Dongfang family established the school, it began to fade from the ordinary and began to show its edge.
When the Dongfang family was once glorious, it also belonged to the top group among the first-class forces of the Immortal Family Sect, and a large part of the reason was due to the awakening of the ancient tower and the ability to enhance the talent!
But the strange thing is that this ability is only for people who have the blood of the Dongfang family. Many geniuses in the history of the Oriental family began to show extraordinary talents after they came out of the ancient pagoda.
In the past, many sects coveted the magical functions of the ancient pagoda, so several powerful first-class sects led several small sects to talk with the Dongfang family "friendly", and finally the Dongfang family was forced to hand over a part of the ancient tower's entry quota. But the people of the rest of the sects who could enter either couldn't awaken their talents, or their ascension was limited, and they couldn't have the desired effect at all, so those sects thought that the Dongfang family had done something, so a big war began.
Thanks to the fact that the Dongfang family was at its peak at that time, it was not at all intimidating to meet the alliance of a group of sects with its own strength, and although the opposite side had an advantage over the Dongfang family in terms of the strong, the alliance was an alliance after all.
Some people say that the reason why the Oriental family fell was because the war hurt the bones. Of course, this is just a rumor in people's mouths, and the specific reason is only known to the insiders of the Dongfang family.
Those ten mountains are a natural magic circle, although they can't attack, but their defensive power is amazing, and each mountain is stationed with people from the Dongfang family. Ten mountains, ten veins together.
The ten veins of the East are the main vein, the heavenly vein, the earth vein, the human vein, the instrument vein, the Dan vein, the punishment vein, the martial vein, the sin vein and the death vein.
The main vein is the strongest vein of the Dongfang family, almost all of the people in the main vein have the purest bloodline of the Dongfang family, and they are the actual rulers of the Dongfang family, they have the privileges of planning the future of the family, allocating family resources, and selecting disciples in a limited manner, and have a supreme position in the Dongfang family.
The heavenly vein, the earth vein, and the human vein are three collateral branches, most of them have the blood of the Oriental family, but they are not as pure as the main vein.
The instrument vein and the Dan vein, as the name suggests, one is mainly for refining weapons, and the other is based on alchemy, providing a steady stream of resources for the disciples of the Dongfang family, due to the particularity of these two veins, almost no one is willing to fight with them, and they are the two most popular veins in the Dongfang family.
The criminal vein is in charge of the family law, and for those who violate the clan rules, from the elders to the disciples, they all have the right to directly punish them.
Most of the criminal veins are people who are not good at the past, and in their eyes, they will only act according to the rules, and there is no one to talk about.
However, because of the nature of the criminal lineage, many of the disciples below are a little arrogant and domineering, tyrannical and tyrannical.
Most of the people arrested by the criminal vein will be sent to the criminal vein for detention, so because of the things they are responsible for, the criminal vein and the criminal vein have frequent contacts, and the two used to have a close relationship.
The criminal vein is the prison of the Dongfang family, and the people in it are not only the children of the family who have made great mistakes, but also the people who have seriously endangered the Dongfang family. Unlikable is also not very unpleasant, but the status of the sin vein within the Eastern family is very low, and almost all the veins can be above them.
Not only because of what they are in charge of, but also because the sin vein is the weakest of the ten veins in the East. Especially in recent years, the strength of the Lord of the Sin Vein is even inferior to that of the elders of the other veins.
In a world of cultivation, all the right to speak depends on cultivation. The crooked reasoning of those who have cultivated to a high level will be regarded as good words by others, and the reasoning spoken by those who have cultivated a low level will not be cared for.
It's cruel, but it's realistic, because the world is such a pathology.
Wu Mai is responsible for the daily cultivation of the family's disciples, and they use a unique system to continuously cultivate talents for the Dongfang family, providing a large number of backbones for the family, and they are also an indispensable part of the family.
Since most of the foreign disciples are transported to each vein through the martial vein, even if the power and strength of the martial vein are not very strong, there are few people who find trouble with the martial vein.
The last remaining dead vein is also the most special vein among the ten veins of the Eastern Family. Most of the people in the Death Vein were deceased soldiers who had been sentenced to death by the Criminal Vein and then cultivated by the special skills of the Dongfang Family.
These dead men have no memory, no past, no feelings, and no soul. The only thing they have is to obey orders! These people will carry out every order given from above in their entirety, even if they are sent to their deaths.
If no one dares to provoke the criminal vein, then everyone's attitude towards the death vein is that they are not even willing to contact. No one wants to be near a group of people who have lost themselves and could do anything.
In addition to the main vein directly led by the patriarch, the rest of the veins have their own vein masters, and there are four to ten elders under each vein master. Therefore, the management model of the Dongfang family is that the patriarch gives orders to the vein master, and the vein master gives orders to the elders, and then the elders give orders to the deacons below, and then the deacons give them to the disciples.
The Ten Veins of the East are like a machine, supporting the normal operation of the entire big family.
In the conference hall, Dongfang Wentian, who was burly and looked only in his thirties, but was actually more than two hundred years old, sat in the position of the head of the family, watching the nine veins around him quarrel like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, his face was very calm, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.
Following Dongfang Ming, the patriarchal position of the Dongfang family was originally competed by Dongfang Ming's children, Dongfang Wentian and Dongfang Wenxin brothers, but a few years ago, in the most critical years of the competition for the patriarchal position, Dongfang Wenxin, who was favored by everyone, suddenly disappeared without a trace, so Dongfang Wentian inherited the position of patriarch as a matter of course.
Because the patriarch's position is not very right, Dongfang Wentian has not been controversial behind his back over the years, but Dongfang Wentian has shown no less talent than the old patriarch Dongfang Ming in terms of handling things and family decision-making over the years, and this voice has gradually become smaller.
Everyone quarreled for a while, but there was no result, and then Dongfang Wentian coughed lightly and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Hearing the coughing sound of the patriarch, the nine quieted down and surrendered their eyes to Dongfang Wentian.
"It's still the old rule of dealing with things, if you can provide the pulse of the message of your heart, you will get a profit first. Dongfang Wentian said calmly.
This rule was set by Dongfang Wentian after he became the patriarch, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to find his younger brother. One cent of profit does not sound like much, but it is the average amount of resources that can be obtained by each pulse each time resources are allocated.
Take one cent of profit first, that is, you can get the resources that one vein should get for nothing, and then distribute the remaining nine cents of profit with the other nine veins, so the total amount will be more than twice the average.
Under the temptation of resources, all the people of the Dongfang family did their best to find Dongfang Question, but after so many years, there were no clues.
This time was no exception, after Dongfang Wentian finished speaking, no one replied at all.
An imperceptible trace of loss flashed in Dongfang Wentian's eyes, and it was extremely well hidden.
But all the people present are the old foxes of the old foxes, and how many people can't see it?
After words of comfort, the topic got back on track.
"Patriarch, in recent years, my Dongfang family's outgoing disciples have been encountering disasters, and there are some insufficient dead people who go to solve the matter, so this time, I want to get an extra place. An old man with no expression on his face said coldly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, another burly old man burst into tears and said: "Patriarch, it's not that I want to complain here, but that the recent consumption of artifacts in the family is too much, and the disciples of my instrument vein have given up the time of cultivation and have been building day and night, but in the long run, the iron body can't stand it!
Before he could finish speaking, the whole council room was in chaos again.
Dongfang Wentian rubbed his temples and muttered with a sad face: "Ask your heart, where are you?
