Chapter 663: The Great Event of Succession
"Squeak!"
Pushing open the wooden door of the guest room, what greeted Ruan Chi was a very simple room, it was hard to imagine that a powerful chamber of commerce like Penglai Pavilion was not the kind of luxuriously decorated room.
Ruan Chi was a little surprised, but soon realized that this was an island thousands of kilometers away from the Miracle Continent after all, and the materials were limited, and it was very remarkable to be able to build such a town, let alone a luxurious lord's palace like Lady Isabella.
Ruan Chi didn't mind much about the configuration of the guest room, so he casually took off the magic sword Felicedo and the magic sword tiger spirit on his body and put them on the table, and then looked around.
In general, the design of the guest rooms is all in the Chinese style, no, to be correct, it is the ancient Chinese style, Ruan Chi even felt for a moment that he ran out of the set and came to the ancient times of China.
"Could it be that the ancestor of the Huaxia clan was a traverser, who came to the Miracle Continent like me, and then developed his own offspring, and with the passage of time, evolved into today's Huaxia clan......" Ruan Chi touched his chin and muttered.
Ruan Chi thought of this idea more than once, but because there was no evidence, Ruan Chi didn't know if he was right, it was just for speculation.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Just when Ruan Chi was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, Ruan Chi walked over and opened the door, but it was Aufu standing outside.
Ruan Chi was stunned and asked, "It's time to eat so soon??" ”
Auf smiled, "I haven't arrived yet, I just want to come over and find you big brother to take a walk outside." ”
Ruan Chi thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he agreed without thinking. Grab a knife and a sword on the table and hang it back on your body. Ruan Chi followed Auf out.
Except for the patio. The two of them went to the town's market. It's basically the same as a normal town, with sparse crowds on both sides of the road, except for a few small vendors selling goods.
It's just that unlike the towns on the Miracle Continent, all the people living here are yellow-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed Huaxia people, how can you go down, Ruan Chi still thinks that he has returned to the earth.
As Auf walked, he suddenly looked at Ruan Chi with a strange expression. "Speaking of which, the eldest brother is also from the Huaxia clan?"
Ruan Chi didn't expect him to say this suddenly, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and say, "You just found out now?" ”
Auf looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice, after all, although the Miracle Continent does not have a pure black hair color like you, big brother, there are still similar hair colors, and when I first met you, big brother, I didn't think about the Huaxia clan." After all, the Huaxia people are too rare. ”
Ruan Chi thought about it and felt that what Auf said made sense, in fact. Even if Ruan Chi didn't usually use disguised magic and ran out on the street like this, no one would notice him.
Even when Rachel first met Ruan Chi, she only regarded Ruan Chi as a strange human race, not a Huaxia race.
This reason, on the one hand, is that the Huaxia clan rarely walks around the Miracle Continent, and on the other hand, it is what Aufu just said, there are too many people with similar hair colors.
Although most of the Terrans in the Miracle Continent are blonde and blue-eyed, there are also a considerable number of people with dark brown or dark brown hair, and if these people don't look carefully at their pupils and skin, they are basically similar to the Huaxia Clan.
Walking on the street for a while, Ruan Chi couldn't help but ask Aufu, "By the way, what do you want us to do about that Zhenlong Conference?" ”
Auf looked surprised and said, "Don't you know, big brother? ”
The corners of Ruan Chi's mouth twitched, and he raised his forehead and said, "Yes, I forgot to ask Miss Li." ”
Aofu was stunned, and half said straight, "Actually, I don't know a lot about the Zhenlong Conference, but according to Yinong's meaning, the purpose of this conference is to elect the next Huaxia clan patriarch?" ”
"Patriarch?"
"Yes, Yi Nong once mentioned to me that the Huaxia clan will hold it once every twenty years, and at the end of each time, a new patriarch will be elected."
"They are just these people, what kind of Zhenlong conference is there to choose a patriarch, how can they make it very grand." Ruan Chi looked at the sparse sidewalks on the street a little speechlessly.
Originally, Ruan Chi thought that a chamber of commerce as big as Penglai Pavilion should be a very large group of people from the Huaxia clan behind them, but today, this Huaxia clan is actually hundreds of people, not only that, but Penglai, where they live, is only a little bit the size of a palm.
In this way, the so-called Zhenlong Conference is estimated to be the level of the village party secretary elected by the village.
"Big brother seems to be a little disappointed?" Seeing the expression on Ruan Chi's face, Aufu couldn't help but smile.
"It's a little disappointing." Ruan Chi said unabashedly.
The two walked around the street where there were almost no people, and soon returned to the courtyard, and it happened that Li Yuanlong here also sent someone, but it was the housekeeper called "Yoka".
"Everyone, the meal is ready, please come with me." Yoka Road.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Ruan Chi and the others came to a very large building in the town, where there was a plaque, Ruan Chi took a look, it was called "Li Family Ancestral Hall".
Speaking of which, the residents of Penglai are basically surnamed Li, Ruan Chi looked around, and did not see any other surnames at all, probably because their ancestors were also surnamed Li.
There are hundreds of villagers in the entire Penglai, and children like Li Yinong, who went out to the Miracle Continent to run Penglai Pavilion, have returned triumphantly today, so they naturally have to celebrate.
When Ruan Chi walked into the Li family ancestral hall, the huge open space was full of tables and banquets, and the scene was like a happy event in the village, so lively.
Just sat at a table with Aufu and other members of the convicted eleven, but at this time, Li Yinong suddenly walked over.
After she came back, she seemed to have deliberately changed into a set of local clothes in Penglai, wearing an emerald green tassel costume, and a long green silk was also pulled up with a jade bun, although she did not apply powder, but her own skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, and her eyebrows were still bright and moving, and she was full of classical temperament, and now she is like a Guanghan fairy.
Not to mention that Mahe was stunned, even Ruan Chi was slightly stunned when he saw Li Yinong in ancient costume.
"Good evening. Big Brother Auf ......"
Li Yinong first said hello to Aufu and the others. Then said to Ruan Chi. "Mr. Ruan Chi, our patriarch invites you to sit on the throne."
"Me?"
Ruan Chi first pointed to himself, and then looked in the direction of the so-called main seat, only to see that in the innermost part of the Li family ancestral hall, under a huge stone tablet with the word "Li", there was a group of old guys in their seventies and eighties.
A drop of sweat seeped down Ruan Chi's forehead, although he boasted to Aufu that he was 500 years old, Ruan Chi was really young. Isn't it embarrassing for him to let him go inside a group of old men?
Ruan Chi hurriedly waved his hand to Li Yinong and said, "No, I'll sit here." ”
"How can this be, you are the distinguished guest I specially invited back this time." Li Yinong insisted on asking Ruan Chi to sit on the main seat over there.
Ruan Chi still didn't want to refuse, but at this time, the Mach guy walked cheekily in front of Li Yinong, "Yinong, why don't I go with you." ”
Li Yinong naturally knew what this guy was thinking, and said angrily and funny, "Deputy Head Mahe." No need, our patriarch just invited Mr. Ruan Chi. ”
"Why can this kid go? I...... Ah! Before Maher could finish his sentence, a big fist came from behind and unceremoniously hit him on the back of the head.
"That bastard beating Lao Tzu?" Mach turned around in a fit of rage, and when he saw Auf's scorched face, he obediently closed his mouth.
"I'm sorry, Yinong, it's me who can't discipline well, you better ask the eldest brother to go." Saying that, Aofu pushed Ruan Chi again and said with a smile, "Big brother, go ahead, don't make it difficult for Yi Nong." ”
It seems that it is not possible not to go, Ruan Chi sighed and stood up, "Okay, I'll go." ”
Li Yinong glanced at Aufu gratefully, and then made an inviting gesture to Ruan Chi, "Please Mr. Ruan Chi come with me." ”
Finally, under Ma He's jealous gaze, Ruan Chi stepped onto the main seat, where there were already a number of high-ranking members of the Huaxia clan, including the patriarch of the Li Ming clan who he had seen today.
These high-level officials were all seventy or eighty, and when Ruan Chi saw so many old men and old women, he had no appetite on the spot.
Originally, Li Yinong was a classical beauty standing next to him and could barely accept it, but when Li Yinong led Ruan Chi to the main seat here, he smiled and said, "Mr. Ruan Chi, you sit down, I want to go back and sit over there." ”
Ruan Chi only found out at this time that under the main seat, there were still a few tables for young people to sit on, among them, in addition to some people who looked older, Ruan Chi also saw Li Yuanlong, Li Huangrong and Li Guojing.
As soon as Li Yinong left, Li Mingzong, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately pointed to a position next to him and said, "Little brother Ruan Chi, right?" Have a seat! ”
I don't know why, Ruan Chi found that Li Mingzong's eyes looked at him like an elder looking at a junior, which was nothing, but Ruan Chi took a closer look and found that the depths of this look also contained some unknown strange feelings.
Probably I read it wrong, right?
Ruan Chi muttered and sat down.
Seriously, sitting in front of a group of old men, and being looked at by their scrutinizing eyes, Ruan Chi had a creepy feeling.
That's right, from the moment Ruan Chi sat down, the old men on the main seat looked at him intently, and that feeling was like where to pick pork in the vegetable market.
After looking at it for a while, Li Mingzong said to Ruan Chi, "Little brother Ruan Chi, I am the current patriarch of Penglai, my name is Li Mingzong, and we just met just now. ”
Ruan Chi nodded politely at him.
Li Mingzong smiled and pointed to the other five old men on the throne, "They are Elder Li Mingshen, Elder Li Mingzhen, Elder Li Mingchang, Elder Li Minghua, and Elder Li Mingde. ”
While Li Mingzong introduced, Ruan Chi nodded, feeling like meeting his parents.
Just when Ruan Chi was sitting on pins and needles, Li Mingzong happily touched the beard on his chin and smiled: "Nephew, don't mind if I call you that." ”
Old man, you've called it all, can I say I mind?
Ruan Chi secretly rolled his eyes, and said with a reluctant smile on his face, "Don't mind." ”
Li Mingzong was even happier when he heard this, and stroked his palms and said, "That's great, I heard that kid say that you have lived in the Miracle Continent for a long time, right?" ”
No, I just lived there for a year and a half.
Of course, Ruan Chi could only say this in his heart, and on the surface, he still said: "I have lived in the country of the human race since I was a child. ”
Hearing this, Li Mingzong obviously glanced at the five elders who were sitting there, and a flash of joy flashed in each other's eyes.
Ruan Chizheng wondered why they were asking such a question, and Li Mingzong asked again, "Nephew, I don't know where your parents are?" Also, do you have any other siblings or blood relatives besides your parents? ”
Dizzy, how do you ask this kind of question?
Ruan Chi felt as if he had really gone on a blind date, and the other party's parents kept asking such questions about his family's situation. Ruan Chi didn't know how to answer, because he didn't have any family in the Miracle Continent at all.
Not to mention the Miracle Continent, even on Earth, Ruan Chi doesn't know who his family is and where they are, and he doesn't even know if they are still alive.
After thinking about it, Ruan Chi had no choice but to reply, "I'm sorry, I've lived alone since I was a child and haven't seen my family." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Li Mingzong and the five elders sighed in unison, who were obviously very sorry.
"Patriarch Grandpa, in fact, do you have something to tell me?" Ruan Chi is not stupid, these people have strange expressions, and they have asked some strange questions since just now, Ruan Chi subconsciously feels that these people have a plan.
Sure enough, hearing Ruan Chi ask, Li Mingzong nodded and said, "My nephew is really as smart as the kid described, yes, in fact, we old guys, there is a very important thing to ask you." ”
"What's the matter? Is it about the Jane Long Conference? Ruan Chi promised Li Yinong to come to participate in the Zhenlong Conference, so subconsciously, Ruan Chi thought it was related to the Zhenlong Conference.
However, this time Ruan Chi guessed wrong, Li Mingzong actually shook his head and said, "No, although the Zhenlong Conference is important, what we will say later is a thousand times more important than the Zhenlong Conference, ten thousand times." ”
Is there anything more important than the Zhenlong Conference?
At this moment, Ruan Chi was a little intrigued, and asked, "What is it?" ”
Li Mingzong said with a stern expression: "It is a major event for our Penglai Huaxia clan to pass on the ancestry. ”
Ruan Chi: "......"
