In front of the ancestral ancestral hall of the Yang family in Yinshan, all the children of the Yang family were present.

The ancestral ancestral hall of the Yang family is in the shade behind the palace of the Yang family's heavenly emperor, the design of the round sky, the specifications of the emperor's mausoleum, and nine iron unicorns are distributed around it, and the mouth contains enamel colored beads.

In front of the ancestral ancestral hall, there was a group of elders of the Yang family, some people were talking and whispering, some were smiling, and some were expressionless.

I stood at the bottom of the ancestral hall, facing the thirty-three layers of white jade steps, wearing a splendid mountain and river robe, dragging two cyan short silk threads behind my back, and standing behind me was a group of juniors of the Yang family.

Yang Tianlong stood beside me, and he said: "Wait for the music to play, you can just say a few words according to what I just said, it is not a big deal to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, but my Yang family respects the ancestors, so everyone has to be present, you don't have to be nervous." ”

I glanced at Yang Tianlong, then straightened the sleeve robe, lifted it up, and an old man in white of the Yang family said: "Lang Lang Qiankun, long and long, Yinshan Yang family since the first generation of the ancestor Yang Changsheng created the faction, after 1,476 years of not falling, adhering to the ancestral master's legacy, all the disciples in the door of the cultivator, will be for the heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints to continue the study, for the eternal peace, the descendants of the disciples carefully follow the ancestral lessons, so for thousands of years, the Yinshan Yang family has been prosperous for generations, and the reputation is prosperous. Where my Yang family is a ghost of the Yang family when they die, the Yang family is united with the outside world, and no Yang family disciple is allowed to be bullied by outsiders. Today, Yang Hao, the great-great-grandson of Yang Kaishan, has been displaced outside the clan for various reasons, and after many years, he finally returned to his ancestral land and welcomed him! ”

The sound of the gong sounded, everyone followed the solemnity, the sound of the bronze bell sounded, I was wearing a blue splendid mountain and river robe, three steps and one kneeling, nine steps and one bow, along the thirty-three layers of jade steps to the ancestral ancestral hall.

I said: "My descendant Yang Hao, who has been living abroad for more than 20 years, is now rebelling, recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, from today on, as a member of the Yang family, everything is based on the interests of the Yang family, and he will not regret his death!" ”

When I got to the door of the ancestral hall, the old man of the Yang family shouted, "Drop blood and return to the sect!" ”

I frowned, looked at Yang Tianlong Chuanyin who was standing on the side and asked, "Why is there still this program?" ”

Yang Tianlong said: "This is the etiquette of welcoming the son-in-law or the successor, no one told me that there is this link today." ”

I raised my head and said, "Senior, I'm just a concubine, isn't it appropriate to return to the sect with blood?" ”

The old man's face was stunned, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question, so he said: "Let you drip blood, you will drip blood, what to do with so much nonsense, it will only be good for you, there is no harm." ”

Yang Tianlong also whispered at this time: "Family master, what does this mean, why did you let Yang Hao's younger brother drip blood?" ”

Yang Xuanzong said: "Your qualifications are dull, you haven't married for a long time, the sect's cultivation resources are limited, and the Yang family's rules, a lot of resources have to be used to cultivate a son-in-law, I discussed it with the elders, and I plan to cultivate a holy son, use your sister-in-law's resources, and the cultivation of the rest of the concubines will also be halved, this matter is settled, you don't have to say it again." ”

Listening to Yang Xuanzong's words, Yang Tianlong immediately stood aside with an embarrassed face, and I hurriedly said: "The head of the Qi family, the concubine Yang Tianlong's qualifications are still good, but he lacks experience and has not yet had the opportunity to get married, my Yang Hao's qualifications are dull, and it is a waste of resources to use on me, if the Yang family needs it, I, Yang Hao, will assist Yang Tianlong to climb the ladder and protect him loyally!" ”

Although I didn't know what I said, I really didn't look down on Yang Tianlong's cultivation resources, I suddenly thought that there was still a book of life and death in my body, and everyone didn't mention it for a long time, I was also strange in my heart, and then said: "If the Yang family has a way to take out the book of life and death, I am willing to return the book of life and death to my Yang family." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, but Yang Xuanzong said: "Hao'er, the things of the Daomen, those who can get it, since the book of life and death is obtained by you, it is the will of heaven, and it is useless to say that my Yang family has it, it is better to save your life on you, and my Yang family will definitely train you to become a top master who is not in the world!" ”

Everyone spoke out one after another, and Yang Tianlong also said at this time: "Brother, you can drip blood, anyway, it is a waste for me to use Yang Xia's resources, and there is no distinction between you and me between our brothers." ”

Seeing that Yang Tianlong also agreed to the etiquette of my sister-in-law, the old man motioned for a Taoist boy to step forward, and the Taoist boy held a jade plate, in which a golden bowl and a silver needle were placed.

The old man handed me the silver needle, and I said, "No need. ”

I stretched out my fingers and forcibly squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it into the bowl with Dao Qi.

The Taoist boy left with the bloody bowl, the old man handed a silk handkerchief, I took the handkerchief and wiped my hands, and then picked up three sticks of incense from the offering table in the ancestral hall, and bowed three times to the statue in the ancestral ancestral hall.

Yang Xuanzong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Light the lantern." ”

A Taoist boy carried a lamp with my name written on it, and I drew a talisman in the air, and a ray of fire drilled into the lamp and lit the wick.

Yang Xuanzong said: "Yang Hao's grandson, you will be a member of my Yang family in the future, this everlasting lamp is your life lamp, and it is connected to your blood, as long as you don't die, the lamp will never be extinguished." ”

I said, "Thank you for your kindness. ”

Yang Xuanzong nodded, and then said to all the Yang family disciples present: "Yang Hao of my clan will be my Yinshan disciple in the future, and he is our family. Taking this opportunity, the old man hopes that all the children of the Yang family will be diligent in cultivating the Tao, and the road will be ten years, and the most important thing is to persevere, sail against the current, and retreat if you don't advance. ”

"Do as the head of the family says." Everyone said in unison.

Yang Xuanzong waved his hand and said, "It's all gone." ”

When everyone heard this, they all retreated, and Yang Tianlong walked down the white jade steps with some displeasure and walked in the direction of the Zhengxin Palace.

"Brother!" I called Yang Tianlong, but he didn't answer me, obviously a little dissatisfied with me, I hurriedly chased down.

"Hao'er, you stay." Yang Xuanzong's voice came from behind him.

After everyone dispersed, Yang Xuanzong, Li Changan and a group of Yang family elders all stayed in front of the ancestral ancestral hall, Yang Xuanzong looked at me and said, "Hao'er, you know why I left you behind." ”

I said, "Please make it clear to the head of the house." ”

Yang Xuanzong said: "You have also seen the child of Tianlong, his qualifications are limited, embarrassing everyone, my Yang family has wanted to invite your father Yang Sanqian back to the clan as my successor for many years, but the matter of life and death, the ancestor expelled him from the house, and he has always been obsessed with it, and he does not want to return to the clan. Now that the ancestor has reached the limit, he used the book of life and death to live for so long, and he used the book of life and death to change his life expectancy, so that he suffered the curse of heaven, life is better than death, and I am already a hundred years old, and in four years it will be my limit, and our Yang family needs a successor. ”

I said: "The head of the family must not be in a hurry, my qualifications are not as good as my brother, and my achievements in life are limited, my brother treats me like a brother, let me assist my brother can, I am a concubine, I can recognize myself a few pounds and a few taels, as the so-called way of abolishing the elder and establishing the young to take chaos, I become the successor is unreasonable, contrary to the ancestral teachings, it will inevitably cause family disputes, can the head of the family still kill all my peers and descendants?" Forgive Yang Hao for being difficult to obey! ”

Li Changan said: "This time and that time, the times are different now, the person in power is us, how can you be so conservative as a young man!" ”

"Yes, the head of the family has already spoken, with him giving you the right to succeed to the throne, no one dares to rebel, you can rest assured!" The rest of the Yang family elders responded one after another.

I am more and more puzzled in my heart, I don't understand much about the dispute of power, but have you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run, whether it is in movies and television or in various works, no one is unmoved in the face of power.

I was also tempted, but I still recognized myself, I wanted a concubine as a successor, or I haven't returned to the family for decades, and a newcomer who has no power in the clan is the successor, and the ghost also knows that there is fraud in it.

It's just that I don't understand what such a large group of people are going to do.

Yang Xuanzong motioned for everyone to be quiet, he looked at me and said: "Hao'er, let you as the successor is actually just a candidate, we will only carry out it as a last resort, eight days later is the Double Ninth Festival, our clan will temper the body of Tianlong on that day, and the nine elders in the door and I will condense it into the strongest golden pill for him, if he successfully reaches the qualification to become the head of the family, I will make him the successor, if the Ning Dan fails, you will be the successor, do you think it is okay?" ”

I said, "What if my brother Ning Dan fails, and I also fail Ning Dan?" ”

Yang Xuanzong said: "Then he will also be the successor." ”
