Chapter 362: The Succession Ceremony of the Head of the Family
In Baiye City in early summer, the dew in the early morning was exceptionally thick, and Ling Hao, who had listened to the story all night, whistled and stepped on the dew to return to his residence.
At this time, his heart knot had been untied, and he did not use hegemony along the way, but walked slowly. Enjoying the early morning sunshine, he woke up and many people greeted him along the way.
Back in the courtyard and waking up the little mirage that was still asleep, Ling Hao began to freshen up and prepare for the succession ceremony for a while.
What he didn't know was a terrible crisis that was surging towards him.
Since it was the succession ceremony, the people of the Ling family had almost arrived, they came to the altar early, and when Ling Hao arrived, it was almost full of people, but only the disciples of the second line of the Ling family did not appear, which couldn't help but make Ling Hao suspicious.
However, thinking that Ling Rui had always peeked into the position of the head of the family, it was normal for him to be unhappy, Ling Hao didn't care, he felt that maybe when the ceremony began, Ling Rui would appear with the disciples of the Ling family's second lineage.
When they came to the altar, all the Ling family disciples looked at Ling Hao with respect in their eyes
At this time, Ling Feng was standing on the sacrificial platform in a formal suit, and today he was the main owner of the ceremony.
It was noon, almost the auspicious time as agreed, but the people from the second line of the Ling family still did not appear, and everyone talked about it.
"What's going on with the people of the Ling family's second lineage today? Ling Hao inherited such an important day as the head of the family, why didn't they come. Do they want to rebel? ”
"That is, although Ling Rui wants to be the head of the family, it is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. If you don't have a chance, you shouldn't be so ignorant. Doesn't this make outsiders laugh at my Ling family's disagreement? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, now that Ling Hao has pacified the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, it is a great light for the Ling family, he deserves to be the head of the family, the people of the second line of the Ling family are so stingy, it is really embarrassing."
The spearhead of the discussion was all pointed at the people of the second line of the Ling family, and it was obvious that Ling Hao's position in the hearts of everyone was unshakable.
No matter what everyone said, Ling Feng was keenly aware that something was wrong, although Ling Rui was selfish, he would not be ignorant.
Today is the ceremony for Ling Hao to succeed the head of the family, if he doesn't come, wouldn't it make people gossip, in terms of his temperament, he will definitely not do this.
Ling Feng said to the servants beside him, "You send someone to the West Chamber to see what happened." ”
Not long after, the auspicious time had arrived, but the investigating servant had not yet returned, and the bad premonition in Ling Feng's heart was getting stronger and stronger.
But the matter has come to this point, Ling Feng only has the overlord to bow hard, he stood up and said in front of everyone: "Everyone, today is a good day for my son Ling Hao to be elected as the successor head of the family, thank you for your support." Now I announce, the ceremony begins! ”
"Family master, isn't this good, the people from the second line of the Ling family haven't come yet?" Someone argued.
Ling Feng is also a person, facing such a topic, he rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said: "Don't worry, the people of the second vein and I have passed the conversation just now, Ling Rui said that he is unwell today and it is inconvenient to come to the ceremony, but he will still send sincere blessings to Ling Hao." ”
When Ling Feng said this, everyone looked at each other, who would believe such nonsense?
Ling Rui is a ninth-order spirit master, such a person would actually be unwell? Liar, if you want to say uncomfortable, you are also angry!
Even Ling Hao admired Ling Feng's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, Ling Rui would send him sincere blessings? I don't believe it if I kill him!
But fortunately, everyone is smart, and they all understand the truth that people are difficult to dismantle. didn't say a word, and consciously played their respective roles.
The steps of the ceremony are actually very cumbersome, this world, unlike the earth, people really have three souls and seven spirits, so there are many etiquettes for the ancestors.
After a set of cumbersome processes, Ling Hao was about to vomit, which was even more tiring than him beating Huangfu Jianyun.
After an hour-long period of incursion, the ceremony has finally reached its final step.
That is, Ling Feng handed over the key to the ancestral tomb to Ling Hao, so that even if he recognized the fact that Ling Hao was the head of the Ling family.
On the altar, Ling Hao half-knelt and raised his hands, Ling Feng stood in front of him, touched the key of the main tomb with both hands and said: "Today, under the gaze of my ancestors and the witness of the seven veins of the Ling family, I will pass on the position of the orthodox head of the Ling family to my son Ling Hao.
From this day on, you should remember the family motto, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of hardships and dangers, before suffering to your people, and happy to be after your people.
Unite the clansmen, regardless of relatives or aliens, not weak and old, carry forward the Ling family, and let the Ling family continue to pass on the torch. You must not kill each other and fight in the same room. Would you like to? ”
"I do!" Ling Hao replied briefly.
"I declare that from today on, Ling Hao is the 381st generation of the head of the family, everyone must follow the orders of the head of the family, and cannot question it, and disobey the orders of the head of the family, otherwise the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, everyone is willing."
"I'm willing!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky, their eyes eagerly staring at Ling Hao in the ring, as if he was the hope of a new life.
"Okay, Ling Hao takes the order!"
Ling Feng slowly handed over the key to the ancestral tomb in his hand to Ling Hao. As long as Ling Hao takes over this key, he will be the head of the Ling family from now on, shouldering the mission of the prosperity of the family.
"I'm against it! Ling Hao, an outsider, is not worthy of being our head of the family! ”
However, just as the key was about to be handed over to Ling Hao, a voice containing anger and resentment came from the west.
Everyone looked for prestige, only to see Ling Bufan, dressed in linen and filial piety, with red and swollen eyes walking towards him, and he was carrying a coffin, followed by the disciples of the second line of the Ling family, menacing.
This scene really surprised everyone, and everyone stared intently at Ling Bufan and his party, wanting to see what they were going to do.
I saw Ling Bufan walk to the altar, stand the coffin on the ground, and then push the lid of the coffin open with one palm, and Ling Rui's body was lying inside.
With a pop, Ling Bufan knelt in front of the other six veins of the family, pointed his right hand at Ling Hao and cried: "Grandfathers, you have to be the master of the extraordinary, and severely punish Ling Hao, the murderer." ”
What, what's going on? What happened, how did Ling Hao become a murderer?
"Extraordinary nephew, what happened? You make it clear to us. Ling San said.
I saw Ling Bufan take out a pair of notes, on which were five big characters written in blood.
Killer Ling Hao!
"This ......" Everyone was stunned by the information on the note, the font on the note was sloppy, how did it look like Ling Rui's masterpiece.
"Ling Hao, how do you explain this note?" Ling San asked.
"Ben and I didn't kill him, I have no grievances with him, how could I do something that harms people's lives!" Ling Hao justifiably argued.
"You have!" Ling Bufan suddenly shouted loudly, and then he took out a letter from his arms and pointed at Ling Hao:
"You have a motive to kill, you don't have the blood of the Ling family at all, you are just a wild seed conceived by your shameless mother and unknown wild man!"
What the! Such a secret shocked the audience, Ling Hao was actually a wild seed that her mother didn't know who she was born with.
As soon as this news came out, Ling Hao and Ling Feng were silent, this secret buried deep in the hearts of the two men was actually revealed in such a ridiculous way.
Taking advantage of the silence of Ling Feng's father and son, Ling Bufan was aggressive: "My father knew your secret, so you took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed him, but you never expected that my father had already written down this secret, and I finally found it and became ironclad evidence to nail you!" ”
"You are talking nonsense, I didn't kill your father." Ling Hao said flatly.
