Chapter 30: The Pang Family (1)
"Then I'll leave it to you first, and the third uncle and I will go in first."
Under the leadership of Pang Zhihe, the group entered the ancient castle.
Although Pang Shiyuan didn't know much about the ancient castle, the structure of the castle alone made him feel that the castle was impregnable.
Extending dozens of meters from the city gate, it was actually the defense facilities of the ancient castle, and many Pang Shiyuan couldn't even say their names and functions, but he could see that this was a complete defense system.
However, he also saw that this ancient castle was definitely not established by the Pang family, first, the Pang family did not have such a huge strength, and second, there were too many historical remnants in the ancient castle.
The Pang family should have just discovered this ancient castle and tinkered with it. And it seems that the repaired Cheng dΓΉ is only average.
After walking through the defense system of dozens of meters, this really entered the living area of the ancient castle. The living area is no different from that of ordinary villages and towns, but it looks more simple and clean.
For this, Pang Shiyuan, who came from modern times, appreciated it very much. In his opinion, Guquan Town was a little dirty, which made him a little disliked.
Then, they came to a particularly tall and solemn building in the ancient castle, the Pangjia Chamber.
Entering the council hall, the important people of the Pang family were already gathered together.
Next, it was time for Pang Shizong and Pang Shiyuan to meet the elders.
In fact, this time Pang Zhiyang brought the two brothers here, in addition to worshipping their ancestors, just to let the two get to know the top and bottom of the Pang family.
Pang Shizong and Pang Shiyuan, the two brothers, both grew up outside, and according to the rules of the family, they should both go to Longshou Village for education.
Back then, Pang Zhiyang was sent back to Longshou Village by his father, and only returned to Longquan Town to inherit the family business when he grew up.
But Pang Zhiyang gave the two brothers a different development path from the children of the Pang family, Pang Shizong went to the academy, and Pang Shiyuan went to Daizong, but the two never intersected with Longshou Village.
This is certainly not a good thing.
Without a certain amount of time to contact and understand, it is difficult to form and maintain the cohesion of a family, so it is necessary to let the two stay in Longshou Village for a period of time.
Moreover, as the first person of the Pang family, Pang Shizong also has a different status in the eyes of the Pang family.
Although it is said that a person cannot make the Pang family take off, after all, this is the first time that the Pang family has made achievements in culture and education for so many years.
Therefore, ancestor worship has become necessary.
In a short period of time, Pang Shiyuan followed his eldest brother Pang Shizong and didn't know how many elders he had never heard of before, and in the end, he had actually confused the appearance, names, and titles of many people.
There is no way, the names of the Pang family are too similar.
Thankfully, he didn't need to speak here.
However, his eldest brother is indeed much better than him in this regard, not only can he deal with it decently, but he can also talk to the elders many times, which makes a group of old guys smile.
Pang Shiyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with being a supporting role, in fact, he was very happy in his heart.
Although he admired and was curious about these elders of the Pang family, it would really be embarrassing for him, a soul from modern times, to have a long talk with a large group of elders.
In modern times, all families are completely separated.
If there can be twenty direct blood relatives in a family, it can definitely be regarded as a big family. But here, just the elders have exceeded twenty. And this is still the result of many elders not coming for various reasons.
In the face of so many elders, Pang Shiyuan completely lost the courage to speak.
finally ended the "summons", and Pang Zhiyang took the two brothers out of the meeting hall.
Naturally, someone led them to the arranged house, and they can move freely today and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the day of official ancestor worship.
Ancestor worship is a major event, and it is natural to gather as many clansmen as possible.
Although the Pang family's base camp is in Longshou Village, the clansmen are actually quite scattered.
Don't look at the Pang family's resettlement of most of the clansmen in the mountains, you think that the Pang family is conservative, but in fact, the Pang family's attitude towards the outside world has always been very open and positive.
Otherwise, the Pang family would not have done a good job of collecting orphans with good qualifications, nor would there be a righteous act of releasing the cultivated orphans.
And there are many children of the Pang family like Pang Zhiyang's family who have set up their own doors outside Longshou Village, and they have always been encouraged by the Pang family.
This is both a pioneer and a prevention.
The war disaster that year made the Pang family always feel that they should not put all their eggs in one basket, although the ancient castle of Longshou Village was actually very safe. Therefore, in the surrounding towns, gradually the Pang family moved to the past.
After eating the lunch that was sent over, Pang Shiyuan was no longer willing to stay in the house. He was so curious about the castle.
"Dad, I'll go for a walk, okay?"
Pang Zhiyang naturally wouldn't stop him: "Of course it's no problem." But don't trespass into other people's houses, and don't go to guarded places. Others, you can feel free. And Shizong, do you want to go out for a walk too? β
"Nope. I'm a little tired these days, so it's time to take a break. Pang Shizong's expression was a little tired.
Pang Zhiyang then remembered that his eldest son had experienced a difficult township test before, and then rushed home to socialize for three days in a row, and now he rushed all the way to Longshou Village, which was indeed very hard.
The eldest son is just a scholar, although he has also studied martial arts, but his body is not as good as the younger son.
Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Pang Shiyuan walked out and said, "Then big brother, you have a good rest!" I'm going to play first. β
Walking out of the house, Pang Shiyuan turned his head and looked around, and quickly determined the target of the game - the dragon head stone that was high above, and there was a guess for him there!
All the way to the Dragon Head Stone, Pang Shiyuan found that the deeper the ancient castle, the more desolate and dilapidated it became.
Obviously, the Pang family currently occupies only a part of the ancient castle, and there is still a large amount of space that is left unused and left to be dilapidated.
Of course, this is a waste, but the Pang family has so many manpower and material resources, so there is nothing to be done.
With light skills, Pang Shiyuan soon left the ancient castle. Going all the way up the mountain road, Pang Shiyuan began to climb the towering Longshou Peak.
Longshou Peak is not very tall among the many peaks of the mountain, and it can even be said that it is a little short. But it is precisely this dwarf that makes Longshou Peak hidden deep in the mountains, and also ensures the secrecy of Longshou Village.
As he walked higher and higher, when he occasionally looked back, he found that the entire ancient castle and Longshou Village were in full view.
Looking up at the Longshou Stone again, Pang Shiyuan has determined the pattern of the entire Longshou Village - Longshou Peak under Longshou Stone, Longshou Fort under Longshou Peak, and Longshou Village in Longshou Fort.
Pang Shiyuan didn't dare to keep hurrying with light work, after all, this was a very consuming thing of internal force, and his second-rate skills were not enough for him to use internal force at all times.
Therefore, only when he encounters dangerous places that are difficult to cross, he will use light power to leap, and other times he honestly uses his body to climb mountains.
Of course, this is a very tiring thing, but Pang Shiyuan looked at the huge dragon head stone that was getting closer and closer, but he didn't feel the slightest tiredness.
