As the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, Zou Yi's unintentional actions were actually opened by him in the secret box in the family tree.

As the planks retreated to both sides, what was displayed in the middle made Zou Yi frown.

An unknown pattern, an illustration also written in the Qi script of the Warring States Period, that's all, what Zou Yi can't understand is that what is clear at a glance will make the Zou family look so important, as if the Zou family can be revitalized with this.

However, since it took so much effort to open the secret box, Zou Yi naturally would not give up the plan to find out, picked up the family tree, and sat down on a futon casually, which was to seriously study the secrets hidden in the secret box.

The pattern is carved up, an old man stepping on two clouds, one pointing to the sky, one pointing to the ground, to say that the whole pattern is the two clouds that the old man stepped on, one is white, one is black, in addition, the whole pattern does not reveal much information.

Immediately after that, Zou Yi looked at the words that seemed to be used as illustrations, although these were written in the words of Qi during the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, but it was not difficult for him, with the master of the old Taoist scholar and the heavenly man, plus half a year of study in the Sanshan and Wuhu Academy, although he did not dare to say that he could read the vernacular as smoothly, but the speed was slightly slower, and it did not affect the understanding of the meaning of the text.

"The old man's surname is Zou Mingyan, and he is the first generation patriarch of the Zou family......"

Just the first few words, Zou Yi was stunned, Zou Yan, the name is like thunder, the founder of the Yin and Yang School during the Warring States Period, and the existence of Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, is called Zou Zi by the world, and his "Five Elements Doctrine", "Five Virtues and Beginnings", "Great Kyushu Theory" have also been passed down to this day.

With a skeptical attitude, Zou Yi continued to look down, the more he looked at it, the bigger his eyes became, the ancestor of the Zou family, Zou Yan, and the legendary Zou Yan gradually became one, the fact is that the ancestor of the Zou family is indeed the founder of the Yin and Yang School, Zou Yan, who is called Zou Zi by the world.

Zou Yi's discovery was full of surprise and shock, but he still couldn't satisfy him, because he had the illusion before, so his expectations for what was hidden in this genealogy were also very high, but so far, there was still nothing he was interested in.

"I stop here, I hope that future generations will not weaken the old man's name, and I will mention it again after the last, "The Main Luck" and "The Great Sage" can only be regarded as the book of people, and "Yin and Yang Collection" is the book of heaven, as for "The Great Kyushu Said", ......"

Seeing this, Zou Yi obviously felt the hesitation of the ancestor of the Zou family, and saw that he said after seeing him:

"As for "The Great Kyushu Saying", there is no need to go to enlightenment, and if future generations can reach the ultimate realm, they will naturally understand."

"That's it?"

Zou Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he did open this secret box, he knew the origin of the Zou family, and the ancestor of the Zou family was the famous Zou Yan, but these are useless to the current Zou family and him, is it possible to let him advertise and tell the world that the current Zou family is the descendant of Zou Yan?

Looking at the statue of Zou Yan on the wooden board, Zou Yi fell into deep thought, he is also a quick-witted person, since the Zou family has continued to regard the mystery of the dark box so important to this day, it is obviously not untargeted.

Zou Yi once again deliberated on this passage back and forth, and gradually his eyes focused on the three words of "Yin and Yang Collection", especially the word "Yin and Yang" touched him the most, and he couldn't help but think of the yin and yang eyes, one black and one white just corresponded to the saying of yin and yang.

It's just that what is this "Yin and Yang Collection", in Zou Yi's cognition, Zou Yan's works do not seem to have the book "Yin and Yang Collection", there is a theory of Yin and Yang, but it is only a view of everything in the world, professionally speaking, it is the philosophical thought of dialectical materialism, and it is all handed down by the lectures of Yin and Yang scholars, and there are specific written records, which is a bit strange.

Thinking about it, there is only one explanation, that is, this "Yin and Yang Collection" is indeed written by Zou Yan, but it is not known to the world, but remains in the Zou clan, and only in this way can it explain why such an important work is not mentioned in history, and it is not even recorded in the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy.

With this kind of inference, Zou Yi also suddenly became enlightened, perhaps the so-called revitalization of the Zou family in the Zou family is this "Yin and Yang Collection", but since it is not in the previous patriarch, that is, Zou Yi's grandfather, then this "Yin and Yang Collection" is afraid that it has been lost with the countless ups and downs and migrations of the Zou family.

When the answer surfaced, Zou Yi was much more indifferent, some things can be obtained naturally, but that also has to talk about chance, if the opportunity is not enough, it is useless to force it.

Thinking of this, Zou Yi's frowning brows also loosened, and then he was about to close the family tree, but when he inadvertently skimmed the wood carving in the middle again, his eyes were condensed, and he stared closely at the two clouds, one black and one white, under the feet of the old man.

Just when Zou Yi wanted to forcibly look away, the scene of the next scene interrupted his actions abruptly, only to see that the two clouds, one black and one white, seemed to be hallucinations, and actually began to rotate, with the appearance of this change, the energy of the two colors of black and white between heaven and earth seemed to be summoned, and quickly condensed towards the carving in the family tree.

In just a few seconds, the condensed black and white energy gradually formed a pattern, although it was still a little thin, but the outline had been formed, as if it was a yin and yang fish pattern outlined by black and white.

Zou Yi grew his mouth, looking at the slowly rotating yin and yang fish pattern in front of him, another scene suddenly appeared in his mind, when he was only eight years old, he unfortunately ran into a kidnapper in Qiyun Mountain, in the face of the rapid flying bullet, at that time there was also a yin and yang fish pattern in front of his eyes, although it was much lighter and smaller than the one in front of him, but it was exactly the same.

In the deep shock, Zou Yi also thought a lot, and finally understood why he had a heart-warming feeling when he saw the genealogy before, I am afraid that it was because of this yin and yang fish pattern, and he was finally able to understand what his eyes would change into yin and yang eyes, perhaps it was because of his mother's bloodline inheritance that this kind of abnormal situation would occur, so that Zou Yan, the ancestor of the Zou family, was afraid that he also had yin and yang eyes, otherwise why did he leave the "Yin and Yang Collection", and how could the carving in this genealogy have such changes.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Leaving the ancestral hall in the backyard and coming to the living room, Zou Yi returned to his previous breeziness, as if the scenes that had happened in the ancestral hall had not appeared, but he just looked at the old lady with a reassuring smile.

From Zou Yi's smile, the old lady seemed to understand something, and her hand holding the recliner couldn't help but tighten, and said with a smile: "Yi'er, now that you are the head of the Zou family, grandma has to listen to you." ”

Hearing his grandmother's joke, Zou Yi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Grandma, don't make fun of me, although I am the patriarch, you and your uncle still have to help take care of the affairs of this family, and I will at most put on a name." ”

He naturally understood the meaning of his grandmother's words, in her opinion, since he had found the secret in the genealogy, the revitalization of the Zou family was naturally promising, and the person who could contribute to this matter was the grandson Zou Yi, who had been separated for many years and had not been recognized until today.

It is precisely because he understands his grandmother's mood at the moment, even if he does not get any help in the family tree, Zou Yi can't bear to break her obsession, still smiles and comforts her, and still shoulders this burden alone in silence.

A lunch ended in a conversation and laughter, during the banquet saw the old lady's happy and smiling demeanor, Zou Rongsheng couldn't help but wipe away the old tears, how many years have it been, since the death of his father, his mother has never been so happy, happy eating, happy laughing, happy talking, this long-lost scene has reappeared in the Zou family compound.

"Uncle, how is your antique shop business?"

When leaving, Zou Rongsheng personally sent Zou Yi out, and at the latter's request, the two walked along the path and chatted.

"You can't say good, you can't say bad"

Zou Rongsheng said with a wry smile: "Since your grandmother's body fell, the family's money has not been enough, and ten percent of the income from the antique shop has been subsidized by the family over the years, so I didn't dare to go out again, and I have been eating the old book." ”

Hearing this, Zou Yi's heart was sour, and he became more and more cordial to this uncle, the Zou family was already so down, and the piece of ancient jade worth eighteen million was given to him as a gift, and he didn't even frown, which shows how deeply this uncle cares for him.

After thinking for a moment, Zou Yi continued: "The Zou antiques are now the foundation of the Zou family, and it took a lot of hard work to earn your current reputation, so this Zou antiques must not be annihilated." ”

"That's it, uncle, since grandma's body has improved, you don't have to be afraid anymore, you will go out and go around from tomorrow, and if you have something you like, just shoot."

"This ......"

Zou Yi's idea is good, but his family knows his own affairs, and he Zou Rongsheng doesn't want to make a move, but he is shy and wants to make a move, but he has no capital.

smiled, naturally understanding his difficulties, Zou Yi took over and said: "If it's convenient, if my uncle finds something, take me to see it, it's good to have a long experience." ”

"This ......"

Zou Rongsheng hesitated again, the first time because he was shy in his pocket, but this time he understood the meaning of Zou Yi's words, and the nephew obviously wanted to pay out of his own pocket to stock up for Zou's antiques.

"Okay"

After thinking for a while, Zou Rongsheng nodded helplessly, and agreed.

Let's not say that this is also the nephew's intention, let's just say that Zou Yi is now the head of the Zou family, if he doesn't even agree to this small request, it will definitely be unreasonable.

However, although he agreed, Zou Rongsheng also had his own plans, and his nephew's money could not be taken casually, even if the other party was now the patriarch, but after all, he had only gone to college, and it would be ridiculed if it was rumored that he had gone to school.

Therefore, Zou Rongsheng pondered in his heart, when the time comes, he will find a high-value object, and then take Zou Yi to take a look, and when he can't take out so much money, this matter will naturally pass, although there is some face, it may be good for him to recognize the current situation.
