Chapter 46 Changing Customs
The sunlight shines through the flower window in the side hall of the ancestral hall, and the green smoke from the brazier is intertwined, on both sides of the deep and heavy coffin, more than a dozen figures in plain linen clothes are iron-green faces, three or five groups are gathered together, most of them are a group of gray-haired old men, a book of the clan law is constantly flipping through the hands, some people talk in a low voice, and the sound of small fragments comes out, and the atmosphere of the side hall seems a little depressing.
"What does he Chu Wenyuan want to do-"
An old man who was about to die poked the floor with a cane and shouted angrily, someone quickly pulled down his sleeve, the man looked excited, six or seven people surrounded him, vaguely "the law of the ancestors cannot be violated...... "too much ......" and other chaotic words came out, the old man flicked his sleeves angrily, pushed the door and left, someone threw the scroll with the family law into the brazier, the fire burned, until the ashes, several figures left one after another, after a while, the entire ancestral hall became quiet......
"You don't care?" Xuanwu asked, holding his arms and narrowing his eyelids slightly.
In the ancestral hall across the wall, Chu Wenyuan knelt in front of the offering table and burned the paper, his beard was sloppy, his face seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and his slightly bloodshot eyes stared at the spirit card in front of him, and he didn't care about the voice coming from next door.
"Let them make a fuss......"
For the entire Chu family, what happened during this period of time is still very complicated, especially the recent handling of two funeral-related matters, which has caused many irreconcilable contradictions within the Chu family.
According to some rules of the big family, after the death of the heroine, it is not allowed to move into the ancestral tomb, and the clan with blood as the link is extremely taboo about this kind of thing, thinking that this thing is related to family luck and feng shui, and can not be careless, not a single grass or tree on the ancestral tomb can not be moved, let alone move into a foreign surname and a woman to spoil the treasure on the ancestral tomb.
But Chu Wenyuan insisted on burying the old lady and the head of the previous generation in the ancestral grave, this kind of behavior fell in the eyes of the elders of the clan is an unforgivable crime, and the highest-ranking few people in the family have talked to him many times, but whether it is moving out of the ancestral family law or the way of heaven, Chu Wenyuan is unmoved, and his mind is very resolute, this huge difference makes the relationship between the two sides a little tense, and even some clan elders have released cruel words to remove Chu Wenyuan, the head of the Chu family, at the clan elders' meeting, judging from the current leakage of some situations, he still does not have the upper handγ
At this time, the steps outside the ancestral hall have begun to gradually stand full of clansmen, many clan elders who have some say in the clan are exchanging their opinions with each other, the scene is a little chaotic, some of the clansmen who got the news have also rushed back from all over the place, the atmosphere in Tsing Yi Lane is dull, and bursts of angry rebuke and severe accusations erupt from time to time.
It's just that these chaotic sounds soon gradually stopped in a streamer from far and near.
At the other end of the alley, a unicorn galloped towards it, and when it passed by the main gate of the ancestral hall, the figure on the unicorn's back tightened the reins violently, and the unicorn suddenly stopped, letting out a wheezing roar.
The figure on the beast's back turned over and fell, revealing a dusty face, and he hurried up the steps in a few steps, and some of the clan elders above looked at it and greeted him slightly.
"Chu Yuan is backβ"
"Yuan'erβ"
β...... Third Uncle...... Sixth Uncle ......"
The young man named Chu Yuan arched his hand and responded a few words, and an old man who was a little closer to him pulled him aside, and sighed in a low voice, "You know everything that happened at home, right?"
"Well, the letter from the visitor said that my mother was killed in a surprise attack by the Wali people, and my grandmother died in a fit of rage, and I received the news and rushed back immediately. The man's eyes were red, and there were hidden tears, and the old man sighed and patted the other party's shoulder.."Persuade your father, he insists on burying your grandmother and grandfather together, this matter has caused public anger, and now at this time, the Chu family can no longer withstand the toss......
Chu Yuan didn't know the situation at home, but subconsciously nodded, the latter said a few words, Chu Yuan wiped his face, and then strode into the ancestral hall.
In front of the offering table in the main hall, the green lamp is burning for a long time, and the cigarette smoke is curling.
He walked behind Chu Wenyuan, who was kneeling on the futon, his eyes were complicated, and he opened his mouth slightly after a while.......
Chu Wenyuan turned his head and glanced at him, but replied lightly, "I'm back." β
"Father......" he knelt down with a thud, and the tears in his eyes could no longer hold back the trembling falls..."Father, mother and grandmother...... They, how could they ......?"
Chu Wenyuan sighed, slowly stood up, and walked in front of him.."Let's go next door and have a look, when I see them for the last time, your mother's body has not been found, it is all some clothes and jewelry, just take a look......"
Chu Yuan was in a trance, nodded slowly, Chu Wenyuan glanced at him, revealing an indescribable emotion in it.."In the future, you don't have to go to the Ancient Dojo to practice, stay at home......" He said this, wanting to stretch out his hand and pat the other party's shoulder, but I don't know why, that hand didn't fall down, paused in mid-air for a long time, he stretched out his hand back, held his hand behind, shook his head and left the side hall.
Chu Yuan was slightly stunned, a little confused, but at this time, he was not in the mood to think about this, he stood up mechanically, walked in the direction of the side hall, and when he passed by Xuanwu's side, he paused slightly and said hello.
Xuanwu crossed his arms and nodded, his expression was cold, like a stone, Chu Yuan knew that he had always been like this, and he was not surprised.
"Uncle Wu, what happened at home during this time?" he couldn't help but ask.
Mother and grandmother died suddenly, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is some hidden secrets in it, he has been staying in the ancient dojo to practice, and he is not very familiar with the affairs of the family, he knows that although Xuanwu is not good at words, but he has never told a lie, in essence, as long as the other party is willing to speak, most of him can get some true news.
Here, Xuanwu listened to Chu Yuan's question, and his eyelids opened slightly.."Don't ask me, I don't know anything except for you with one more brother......
"Uh......" Chu Yuan blinked, his expression a little sluggish.."Brother, brother?ββ"
......
......
Ten miles away from Baiyun City, a huge void warship docked in the clearing, Chu Xuan walked into a cell at the bottom, the man who led him in said something to the guard, someone opened the prohibition of the cell door, gave a few instructions, and then let him go in.
Pushing the door open slightly, the scene inside suddenly appeared, and when he stepped in, he vaguely heard a "yes-it's you-" and something like that, he didn't care much, and looked down at the three people in the room, but he still couldn't help but smile.
"You three, it's really worse than the other. Shaking his head, he said.
"Uh-you-you know us?"
Gongsun Chang raised his head slightly, and couldn't help but ask, Chu Xuan nodded, and then said with a smile.."Last time on Lotus Street, you and ......" He pointed to Qiu Rui who was leaning against the wall.."You and he stared at me on the tower for a long time, how could I not know you." β
Damn, it turns out that this guy has already found out. Gongsun Chang gritted his teeth and cursed.
Chu Xuan leaned down and stared at him with a pair of eyes.."Don't scold me, although I don't care, but you will suffer." β
Looking at the face that was close at hand, Gongsun Chang suddenly shuddered, as if he was the prey of a fierce tiger, and the hairs on his whole body stood up......
