After opening the mountain gate, Ye Tian originally thought that there would be a magnificent large building complex behind it, just like a palace, but it turned out that behind the mountain gate was still a curved mountain road, leading to the mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Could it be that the ancestral court is still in the deeper mountains? Ye Tian couldn't help but be a little frightened, this Ye family was indeed very hidden, otherwise how could it have been safe for thousands of years.

Ye Pingjing led the two of them along the mountain road and continued to walk towards the deep mountains, but at this time his expression was more relaxed, as if he was going home.

I saw Ye Ping pointing to a bamboo forest in the distance and said: "There is your second uncle, who likes bamboo, so he stays in the bamboo garden, admires bamboo and watches bamboo all day long, and has not walked out of the bamboo garden for forty years." ”

Ye Tian was stunned, "Forty years? Second Master Uncle is so obsessed with bamboo? ”

Ye Ping laughed and said, "You also went to the bamboo garden to play, but you may not remember it." ”

When it came to his time, Ye Tian couldn't help but be more curious, but Ye Pingjing didn't mean to stop, and he didn't want to disturb the second uncle, so he could only look at the bamboo garden from a distance, trying to get back some childhood memories, but unfortunately he didn't remember anything.

After walking through the bamboo garden, I saw a stream on the side of the road, this stream meandered and circled in the mountains, forming a waterhole on the mountainside, the area of this waterhole was only about 100 square meters, the water surface was crystal clear, and there were some goldfish swimming around in it.

There is also a stone tablet next to the waterhole, on which are written the four big characters of "talking about heaven and earth".

Ye Tian asked curiously, "Why are these four words on this?" What does that mean? ”

Ye Ping laughed and said: "At that time, there were several predecessors in the family who liked to gather and watch fish by this pool, while discussing the past and the present, over time, this place became a gathering place, so the descendants set up such a stone tablet to commemorate those old-timers of the year." ”

When Ye Tian heard it, he thought it was very interesting, although the Ye family was prestigious, but everywhere it showed their casualness and ease, rather than a group of people from a martial arts family, it was more like a group of literati.

After walking through this waterhole, I walked a little further, and there was a hut in front of me, which had only three huts, and a fence outside, and a big yellow dog dozing off at the door.

Seeing this simple thatched house, Ye Tian was even more surprised, if the old man who lived in seclusion in the bamboo garden, and the stone monument standing by the waterhole, were all a little elegant, then this thatched house was simply incompatible with the name of the first family in the world, this was completely a farmer's thatched house, where was the spirit of the first family in the world? And in a conspicuous place, who lives in this hut?

After seeing Ye Tian's surprised gaze, Ye Ping smiled and said, "Since you're here, let's go in and sit down, and go to meet your third father, who is my third brother." ”

Ye Tian was suddenly shocked, Ye Ping's third brother, that is, the most core high-level figure of the Ye family, and he was also a famous person in the rivers and lakes, and he actually lived in such an inconspicuous thatched house?

Surprised, Ye Ping walked to the front of the hut, and the big yellow dog immediately jumped up and surrounded him, wagging his tail constantly.

Ye Ping touched its dog head with a shocked smile, and shouted loudly inside: "Is the third brother at home?" I'm the seventh, and I've brought you a rare guest. ”

After a while, I only heard an old man's voice coming from inside, "Old Seven?" What kind of rare guests did you bring me? ”

Between the words, I saw an old man walking out with a cane, this old man had white hair and hair, and his age was estimated to be over eighty years old, but the seventh uncle Ye Pingjing was only about fifty years old, why did they have such a difference in age?

Ye Ping laughed and said, "This is the son of the fourth brother, Tian'er." Tian'er, this is your third father. ”

When Ye Tian saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Nephew Ye Tian has seen the third father. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression, looked Ye Tian up and down, and then laughed and said: "It's really exactly the same as the fourth child when he was young, hahaha, please come in, sit inside, is this girl my niece and daughter-in-law?" ”

Ye Tian hurriedly thought no, but Amanya replied first: "Yes, my name is Amanya, I am from the Western Regions, and my third father." ”

The old man said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the son of the fourth child, and the daughter-in-law brought back is also a dragon and phoenix among people, so I didn't embarrass our Ye family, so hurry up and sit in the house." ”

Ye Tian couldn't refute anything, so he had to admit it stubbornly, and the four of them entered the house together, only to see that although the furnishings in this room were very simple, only some simple furniture, but Ye Tian found that these furniture were all antiques, none of them were modern, and I don't know how many years it was.

And there are several calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the wall, each of which is a rarity.

Especially in the middle of the thatched hall, there is a conspicuous word, on which is written "seclusion in the world" three simple vicissitudes of life, this word is also very old, at a glance is an antiquity.

Ye Tian couldn't help but ask curiously: "Third Father, this place is called 'Seclusion'?" It's a bit old, isn't it? ”

The old man smiled and said: "This painting is inscribed by the seventeenth generation of the head of the family, and it has been more than nine hundred years ago, so it can be regarded as a painting of ink treasures." ”

When Ye Tian heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, "In this way, this grass hall has a history of more than nine hundred years?" ”

The old man replied: "Yes, it was built during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been more than 900 years, so this is also an antiquity." ”

Ye Tian couldn't help but be amazed, this thatched house with its unsightly appearance was actually a building in the late Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that this kind of thatched house will collapse in less than a hundred years at most, how can it be preserved until now?

Ye Pingjing immediately explained: "After the abdication of the seventeenth generation of the head of the family, he spent the rest of his life in this thatched hut, and then lived one hundred and twenty-eight years before he died, and the descendants in order to commemorate his longevity, so he has been carefully taking care of this thatched hut, and every year there is a special person responsible for repairing and maintaining, and the wall joints are filled with glutinous rice juice mixed with lime, which is very strong even after a thousand years." ”

Ye Tian realized that this inconspicuous-looking thatched house actually had such a big origin, and the Ye family's maintenance and maintenance for more than 900 years from generation to generation allowed this house to be preserved to the present, and the value of this house is self-evident, it is a very precious historical relic.

"Since the head of the family of that generation, this room is inhabited by the respected elders in the family, and the third brother is the leader of our generation regardless of martial arts cultivation or character, so he got the permission of the head of the family, and has been living in seclusion here since he retired, not asking about the world, and enjoying his old age in peace." Ye Ping exclaimed.

Ye Tian then understood that in the Ye family, the person who is qualified to live in this thatched hut must be a respected elder, and must also be a person who retires and does not ask about the family's current affairs, which is equivalent to a supreme glorious reward, so all the masters here must be the Ye family's pivotal role, and this old man is no exception.

After chatting for a while, Ye Ping stood up in surprise and said, "Third brother, we are just passing by today, so we won't disturb your purity, and we will come to see you another day." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

So they got up and left the hut, bid farewell to the old man, and continued to walk into the mountains.

After walking for about a while, Ye Tian only saw a few simple houses on the side of the road, and some young disciples practicing martial arts there, but he never saw anyone else, nor did he see any tall and splendid buildings, only some jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains were indulging in fun.

Ye Tian finally couldn't help but ask: "Seventh Uncle, since our Ye family is the first family in the world, why haven't I seen the magnificent buildings, this is just like an ordinary mountain village, is the ancestral court still in the deeper mountains?" ”

Ye Ping smiled incomprehensibly: "It's coming, it's coming soon, don't worry." ”

Ye Tian just had a head, and continued to move forward, he knew that Uncle Seven was unwilling, and he probably planned to surprise him.

After finally walking for another hour, Ye Ping pointed forward, "The ancestral court has arrived." ”

Ye Tian immediately looked ahead, and couldn't help but be stunned at a glance, only to see that there was a quaint courtyard on the mountainside not far in front, the area was not large, it was estimated that it was only about dozens of acres, and there was a circle of various trees planted outside, under the cover of red flowers and green grass, there was a pastoral and elegant atmosphere, but there was no trace of the grandeur of the first family in the world.

Walking before and after, Ye Tian took a closer look, this courtyard with white walls and black tiles looked like a rich man's garden, not like the ancestral garden of a martial arts family at all, even compared to the ancestral garden of his Sanyuan Sect, it looked very familyly.

Ye Tian couldn't help but ask puzzledly, "This is our Ye family's ancestral court?" So? ”

Ye Pingjing explained at this time: "Do you know, when the first generation of the head of the family created here, the entire Ye family's industry was only this courtyard, after more than a thousand years, the reason why our ancestral court did not move elsewhere is to let future generations remember that this is the birthplace of our Ye family, and it is not a big magnificence that is good, but it has a history and origin, and it is the most heavy, which is also the precious wealth that we will pass down from generation to generation, no matter who is the head of the family in the future, The first family rule is that it is not allowed to rebuild the ancestral garden, and it is a responsibility to preserve the things left by the ancestors. ”

Ye Tian then understood, and he said, "Seventh Uncle, you have a point, but isn't this a little shabby?" Let others see the joke of our Ye family? ”

Ye Ping laughed in surprise, patted Ye Tian on the shoulder, and said, "You didn't grow up here, so you don't know one thing, that is, no one in this world dares to laugh at our Ye family, even if our ancestral court is a broken grass house, no one dares to look at us, do you know why?" ”

Ye Tian shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Ye Ping replied slowly: "Just because we are the first in the world!" ”

From this simple explanation, Ye Tian suddenly understood a truth, the reason why the Ye family does not pay attention to appearance modification is only because they have the strength to be invincible, the real strong will not care about their appearance, and the weak will often use exaggerated ways to show off their strength to cover up their weakness, only the truly invincible strong will be so free.

Such a chic and uninhibited personality is the courage that the Ye family should have, the spirit of the first family in the world!
