Chapter 18, Ancient Doubts (7)

But this kind of thing happens once in more than 30 years at most, and sometimes it doesn't happen in a hundred years, and the more you go to the back, the longer it seems to be.

It hasn't happened in the last few hundred years.

Li Qi guessed if it was caused by the soul demon's inability to move anymore, but it seemed that the power that affected the holy order had nothing to do with the soul demon, so after so long, Li Qi still had no clue.

Yue Yue also knew from the conversation that it was also affected by the Holy Order, and the Yue family only married one wife and had two sons, because if the offspring was a daughter, it would be married, which was naturally not good for the Yue family's secret.

And if you want to say a special case, it is Yue Honglin and Yue Yue's father Yue Zhongyuan at the beginning, the first child born to Yue Honglin after marrying a wife was a daughter, Li Zhu felt that Xu was caused by the fact that the holy decree had not yet formed a complete system in this red leaf forest at that time.

And Yue Yue, just like Yue Yulei said, she seems to be transformed by the Holy Spirit, which is naturally not controllable by the Holy Order.

A few crisp birdsong broke the silence of the early morning, perhaps because he slept for too long yesterday, as soon as the day dawned, Yue Yue woke up, watching the light outside shine through the window, forming strange spots of light on the ground.

Today may be a good day, Yue Yue thought, so she got out of bed and cleaned up.

She is now the patriarch, but she hasn't been in front of the clan for two days, she doesn't know what her father was like when he first became the patriarch, what did he do? Those words were spoken? Or are you in a trance like you are now? Feeling unreal because you hear something that seems unrealistic all at once? Or even start to doubt the world?

She still couldn't accept these things for a while.

Although Li Qian is there, Yue Ling is there, and there are Yue tokens on the walls of the ancestral hall and the strange environment and spirit gathering grass in the red leaf forest, all of this really tells her: This is true! This is what happened to the Yue family for thousands of years! This is what really exists in this world!

She glanced at the door of the room where Li Qian and Yue Ling were still closed, opened the door of the courtyard, and walked out.

On this familiar road that she has walked and run on since she was a child, she was a little confused for a while, and she didn't know what an ordinary person like the Holy Spirit could do?

If it is really something that is difficult to resist and has lost so many lives of the Yue family, then what is the purpose of this thing?

Why does it appear again and again?

Confusion, uneasiness, and even thoughts of wanting to flee spread in Yue Yue's heart, but she immediately dispelled all these thoughts, she was the patriarch of the Yue family! It's the Holy Spirit! He is a person who never gives up easily!

Even if it's hell, she's going to have to break through!

It was still early, and except for some children who practiced martial arts and some cooks who made breakfast, everyone in the Yue family seemed to be still in a sleep that did not feel the slightest danger.

Yue Yue stepped on the bluestone slabs on the road, thinking about what to do next, while opening his hands to feel the rare cool breeze in this hot summer.

Although the Yue's house is deep in the mountains, it is still not sloppy on a hot day, and there is plenty of water here, and the air is often mixed with humid water vapor.

The only time I feel better is when I wake up early in the morning and when the sun doesn't shine at night.

Yue Yue walked out of the backyard and came to the Xiwu Hall in the middle courtyard, which is also a larger courtyard, where the master who taught martial arts was still the atrium person who Yue Yue called "Lei Huzi" here when he was a child.

As soon as Yue Yue entered the door, he saw Na Lei Hu standing on the steps in front of him, and there were more than thirty children of different ages standing below.

The descendants of the Yue family, whether they were born in the upper court, the middle court or the lower court, had to go to the Xiwutang every day from the age of four to be trained until they were twelve years old, and then they were transferred to the masters who specialized in martial arts in each court for improvement.

If some children are "gifted", they will "graduate" early and go to court to continue their studies.

That thunder beard obviously didn't expect Yue Yue to come here, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly shouted on the stage in his deep voice: "Patriarch! Ay! You've come to see me, old man? ”

Yue Yue hadn't seen this thunder beard who often teased her when she was a child, but she didn't expect him to be as humorous and kind as ever, but his title changed from "Yue girl" to this "patriarch" who everyone complimented.

Yue Yue also continued: "I'll come to see the children, who looks at you."

Hearing Yue Yue say this, the children who were standing were also amused to laugh.

The thunderbeard spoke: "Why do I train people well, and now I am all laughed at by you, this ...... This is...... You say what to do. ”

Yue Yue's originally depressed mood was only eased a little here, thinking that it was better for children to be carefree.

They were busy, and she couldn't continue to bother, so she raised her eyebrows at the group of children and said, "Tell you, the master should bully or bully, don't just let him bully you."

Then, he smiled at Thunderbeard and turned to leave.

The thunder beard is not easy to keep, after all, the current Yue Yue is not the little girl who practiced martial arts with a group of boys every day in the past, she just nodded at her, and continued to talk fiercely to this group of children who have not been in the world.

After Yue Yue left the Xiwu Hall, she walked around the atrium, but she didn't see anything of interest, and everyone she saw bowed their heads and greeted her, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Although she enjoyed the embrace of a group of younger brothers, she really became the patriarch, and some elders who were obviously dozens of years older than her were also extremely respectful to her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, the sun had come out, and the warm orange soft light that was unique to that morning hit the courtyard wall on one side and shone on Yue Yue's face.

Xu got up too early, and now she was a little sleepy, walking slowly along the road, like a wandering spirit without a destination.

When she walked to the kitchen yard, she saw a person suddenly come out of the door of the courtyard, and when she looked at the person, Yue Yue was sleepy for most of the time: It's Aunt Yuan,

It's not that I'm surprised, but I'm happy that after walking for so long, I finally met an acquaintance. Yue Yue hurriedly shouted: "Aunt Yuan"

Aunt Yuan was also happy to see Yue Yue, and hurriedly beckoned Yue Yue to eat in the kitchen, Yue Yue thought that she hadn't eaten breakfast at the same time, so she simply went into the kitchen to eat some.

The cooks in the kitchen all nodded and said hello when they saw Yue Yue coming in, Yue Yue asked them to be busy with their own and leave her alone, and the cooks scattered and got busy again.

Yue Yue was taken by Aunt Yuan to find a lot of food, thinking that if she couldn't finish eating, she would bring it to Yue Ling to eat.

Yue Yue was eating the steamed buns and dim sum made by Aunt Yuan, but she thought of the dishes made by Yue Zhendong in her heart, and now that she thinks about it, she still wants to eat it, she suddenly feels that she has no conscience, how can she eat what she eats in her mouth and still thinks about other people's homes.

Yue Yue smiled at Aunt Yuan, and Aunt Yuan looked at Yue Yue, who was still smirking with a mouthful of something in her mouth, and laughed too.

While laughing, he said, "Why, are you so happy to be the patriarch?" ”

"Nope! It's Aunt Yuan, you made it so delicious, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, he choked on something in his mouth, coughed a few times for a while, and then laughed there, thinking that this was his own retribution?

Aunt Yuan looked at Yue Yue's stupid appearance, and suddenly seemed to understand something, clapped her hands, and said with a little excitement: "Yue'er, you tell Aunt Yuan the truth, are you so happy that you have fallen in love with the Mr. Li who was invited yesterday?" I think he's also very good, a talent, young but mature and steady, a person worthy of trust......"

This said this, almost didn't choke Yue Yue to death, and before she could recover from choking just now, Aunt Yuan said this again.

Yue Yue was really choked enough, coughed and waved his hand, and said intermittently: "Aunt Yuan, don't make such jokes, I won't tell you!" I'm gone."

As she spoke, she walked out the door with a large lunch box with a bun on the table, and Aunt Liuyuan sat there alone and giggled.

"Yue'er!"

Yue Yue was about to walk to the door, but Aunt Yuan suddenly screamed.

"Let him eat more, he's too thin!"

Then there was a burst of Aunt Yuan's unique laughter that was not sharp and unfavorable but very penetrating, Aunt Yuan was very grinning and would not pay attention to any effect, and the laughter was loud, and all the cooks just now were led out by her laughter.

Yue Yue couldn't stay any longer, so she pouted and said, "Goodbye!" And he left without looking back.

On the way, the scene just now came to her mind, it turned out that the previous person was still the same person as before, Aunt Yuan did not become complimentary, but still joked and joked as before, laughed or left no mercy.

Those people she felt that she respected were not changed, but from the original unfamiliarity and strangeness to the current kind of respect for the patriarch.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth raised, her world had not changed, and the Holy Decree had not alienated the familiar human heart.

But she had another question: How could it seem that the Holy Order seemed to have a mind on its own, and although Li Qi was the Holy Lord, it seemed that he couldn't control the Holy Order? He'll have to find a time to ask!

"Li Sign! Cut, how could it be! She muttered to herself, Li Zhu is an old immortal thousands of years ago!

Aunt Yuan didn't know if she would offend the gods in the sky if she made such a joke, thinking about it, she actually said silently: "Aunt Yuan is not sensible, for the sake of me being half an immortal, don't worry about her."

Then he naturally looked at the sky, as if he was really talking to the heavens.

Immediately, she herself felt funny, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods since she was a child, and she didn't think it was necessary to pray for blessings and petitions like in previous years, let alone such a chatter of gods and gods, what she did just now was probably a fool in her previous eyes.

But in the past few days, those things that she once didn't believe in are now convinced by her, and those things that were once illusory and ethereal are now as real as if she had experienced them herself.

It is estimated that the gods watching from the sky will die of laughter!

When Yue Yue came to their yard, the golden sunlight had already lit up the entire backyard, shining on the maple trees that emerged from the courtyard wall, forming a patch on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, and the entire courtyard looked bright under the flickering of these light spots.

Yue Yue squinted and walked into the door, and subconsciously glanced at Li Sign's room on the right, but saw that the door of his house was open, and it seemed that he had already risen.

Yue Yue thought that since this Uncle Li had woken up, it was better to go and say hello to this Uncle Li first, and then go to send food to Yue Ling, lest people come here, but as the patriarch, he did not fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Alas! She herself is also pitiful, she thought, when she went to the Red Leaf Forest, what did Li Zhu do to her? Stun first, then intimidate.

Ay! Now that I think about it, I am such a good person! She snorted.

The distance from the door to Li Sign's room was not long, but Yue Yue looked at the spots of light all over the ground, and when she played with her heart, she actually stepped on the light and jumped over!

When she arrived at the door of Li Sign's house, she didn't continue because of the cover of the eaves, otherwise according to her posture, if the light entered Li Sign's room, she would probably jump straight in.

Yue Yue herself said that she couldn't bother her when she found fun, life was short, and it was a great blessing to find something she was interested in, and she had to be happy in time!

The door of Li Sign's room was open, and Yue Yue knocked on the door frame, "Uncle Li, it's early!" ”

Then, without caring if there was any reaction in the room, he raised his leg and stepped in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the unfinished snacks brought by Aunt Yuan yesterday were placed on the table facing the door.

That Li Lot, really don't eat? Yue Yue's curiosity came, don't the gods really need to eat? What happens when you eat?

She's going to have to try to get Li to eat!

This strange thought came out of Yue Yue's heart.

Sure enough, as soon as people are free, they will find some strange and new things to do.

How could she possibly be idle? Thinking about it, she also subconsciously weighed the food box in her hand.

Li Qian was sitting on a chair next to him, unable to tell what he was doing.

Seeing Yue Yue come in, he looked up twice, but he didn't make a sound.

Yue Yue was not surprised by his appearance, after all, this was her home, so she unceremoniously sat next to Li Ding, put the heavy lunch box on the table, and said, "I have always had a question......

Saying that, Chao Li raised his eyebrows, and said, "Don't you really need to eat?" You've never eaten? ”

"This is a snack made by Aunt Yuan, it's delicious! You see I brought it to you, do you want to eat some? ”

As he spoke, he took out a plate full of various snacks from the lunch box and placed it in front of Li Qi.

Li Qian just glanced at the plate of dim sum, and then looked at Yue Yue again, but still didn't speak.

"Forget it"

It was obviously the height of summer, but he felt cold and shivering beside Li Ding, and Yue Yue also felt bored, and now he didn't even have the expression that he frowned slightly at the beginning, like a statue.

"I'll put it here, you can try it quietly, and no one else will find out." Yue Yue said with a smile in his eyes and said to Li Qi.

Then, he got up and carried the box to bring breakfast to Yue Ling.

Yue Ling naturally got up, and was taken aback when he saw that Yue Yue had brought him so many snacks, Yue Yue had never gotten up so early to get breakfast for him!

It has always been Yue Ling who came back from practice to bring breakfast to Yue Yue, or was sent by the cook.

He smiled and said, "Yo! Enlightened? Got up so early to bring me food? ”

Yue Yue was used to joking with his peers in the Yue family, so he said directly: "Yo! You're enlightened, too! Millennial wood is going to be a joke, right? ”

Although he was talking to Yue Ling, he thought of Li Sign, when, Li Sign would make a joke or something? Even if you can't speak, you can always laugh!

Thinking of this, Yue Yue felt a headache, Yue Ling, who had felt serious since he was a child, would now quarrel with himself, he thought that he would not encounter the "ice cube face" again, how could a Li sign appear out of thin air, let Yue Yue do his best, he was unmoved!

Yue Ling saw Yue Yue looking at him in a daze, and he also realized this, and his brows furrowed for a moment, but he was quickly relieved.

"Do you know what you're going to do today?" Yue Ling asked.

Yue Yue came to his senses and shook his head, thinking to himself that he wanted to see those old men?

Sure enough, I only heard Yue Ling speak: "You have been in office for two days, but you have not spoken seriously in front of everyone, and the people below will inevitably have some discussions, although the holy order will not make them have that kind of rebellious thoughts, but after all, people's hearts are difficult to control, and such and such discussions are not good after all......"

Yue Yue knew, that was to say, he had to stabilize his position like a newly appointed little emperor, and he had to show off his might and say a few words in front of that group of old men who were like the emperor's ministers.

Although she didn't have to worry about them rebelling at all, she hoped that since she was the patriarch, she should convince the people below, although she didn't know what the Yue family patriarch usually did, but this kind of superficial work should still be done, so as not to fall into the mouth.

"Although the patriarch doesn't need to tell the people below that it is the Yue family's thousands of years of tradition, after all, he is the head of the clan, and he also needs to communicate properly with the people below."

Seeing that Yue Ling had returned to a serious appearance, Yue Yue also became serious and promised "Okay"

"I have to bring someone with me this time"

Just as Yue Yue was about to go back to the house to clean up, Yue Ling spoke again.

In an instant, Yue Yue's mind only knew who the person Yue Ling was talking about was.

"Uncle Li?"

"Yes"
