The scale of the Zhangjia compound is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Among the four major families, the Zhang family has the longest inheritance, and the Zhang family helped the Tianshui Empire when it was established, so it was quite relied on by the contemporary emperor, so that the family courtyard was expanded several times. Even if the Cheng family and the Wang family are combined, their area cannot be reached. This kind of glory is also one of the foundations of the Zhang family that has always been firmly in the first family of the empire.

The path paved with simple and thick bluestone criss-crosses the entire Zhangjia compound in series. Because the years are too long, the surface of the green bricks has been polished to smooth black, and the world continues, even if the powerful gods who glorified Dalu ten thousand years ago have also been wiped out in the long river of years, and only this weather-beaten path is still wantonly exuding the vicissitudes of life, waiting for generations of newcomers to step on it.

The Zhangjia courtyard is divided into four major sections. The first is a huge square in the east, surrounded by hundreds of practice rooms. The practice room is divided into high and low levels, but even the low-level practice room that deals with the children of the outer sect has reached the standard of the second-order element room of Zhongping Academy. And the practice room for the core disciples of the clan is embedded with top-grade energy crystals, and if there is a master by the side, the elemental power gathered in the room is as much as five times higher than that of the outside world. However, a top-grade energy spar is worth 10,000 top-grade power stones, and it is constantly losing in the process of converging energy, so this kind of cultivation condition is beyond the ability of ordinary families.

The second component of the Zhang family is the Martial Arts Pavilion where Zhang Hao had stayed before, and there are many facilities for cultivation around the huge Martial Arts Pavilion. Because the practice room excludes a very few talented geniuses, not everyone can enter anytime and anywhere. The cultivation conditions are similar to those of the Phantom Beast Tower, and the corresponding children must contribute to the family through it. in exchange for cultivation time. Therefore. Ordinary time. The Wuji Pavilion area has become the most lively place in the Zhang family. After all, although the cultivation conditions are superior, you can get the guidance of the good hands in the clan, which is also very conducive to cultivation.

The third is the martial arts square, which is used for clan selection. This square is used as a gladiatorial arena at ordinary times, and in order to increase everyone's cultivation enthusiasm, the family will put the ranking competition of young children under the age of thirty in the outer and inner gates, as long as they enter the top 300, they can get corresponding rewards, or even the top ten. Every year, rich rewards of divine weapons and sacred fruits are also given. Therefore, on weekdays, it also attracts countless young people, and many people even use it as a place to get ahead in their families, and attract the attention of the upper echelons by showing their growth potential.

As for the fourth place, it is Zhangjiatai Lake, which has an extremely beautiful environment and is famous in the blue capital. There are tens of thousands of people gathered in a family, and of course, there is no shortage of places to cultivate sentiment and relieve fatigue after cultivation. At the same time, countless poignant and lingering aiqing stories were also born here. The older generation or the new generation of the Zhang family. But anyone who falls in love and gets married, nine times out of ten, it is here that feelings sprout.

This year's Zhang family's family banquet is destined to be the most lively in the near century. In addition to welcoming the New Year, there is a more important reason, which is to celebrate the only high-level divine soul in the family for more than 2,000 years, and become the genius Zhang Yu who has taken the lead in breaking through the divine master realm in all generations of the four major families for more than 200 years.

Before the start of the Zhang family banquet, a grand fireworks and lantern display was held. In the two meeting places, there are all kinds of stalls selling food, clothes, toys and other goods. Walking on the spacious road by Taihu Lake, listening to the endless shouting voices on both sides, Zhang Hao always had the illusion of being in a busy city.

At this moment, looking at Mengyu Rou and Bing Yao with excitement on their faces, they pulled up the big lotus that appeared, and the three of them walked towards the stall that seemed to sell clothes on the side, Zhang Hao tightened the two large packages in his hands, turned his head and glanced at the fat man who was also carrying a few big bags and hung his head next to him, and the two of them were speechless.

"Uncle Ge, is this Zhang family so lively every New Year's Eve?Where did these vendors come from?" Along the way, similar scenes have almost never stopped, and Zhang Hao really doesn't know whether he was pulled out to go to the annual party or to be a coolie. At this time, looking at Bing Yao picking up the clothes on the stall and comparing them on Da Lian, several people also stopped and waited patiently.

Since returning to Zhang's house, Uncle Ge seems to have changed as a different person, with an unstoppable smile on his face, and he is much younger. Hearing Zhang Hao's question at this time, he glanced at the lively scene on both sides, and said with a smile: "These stall owners are all family members, and most of them are family members of foreign disciples. ”

"Understood. ”

Hearing this, he glanced around at the people who were shouting hard again, and Zhang Hao nodded secretly. The more ordinary families among the children of ordinary outer sects only get two or three hundred high-grade power stones from the clan a year, you must know that in a metropolis like the Sky Blue Capital, this number is really stretched in terms of prices. And just as the family must constantly absorb new blood, some outer families are very likely to be expelled from the family if they can't give birth to juniors who can become illusionists for several generations. Like Zhang Hao before, in order to ensure the strong continuation of the bloodline of his relatives, he was judged to be a waste once he was born, and he was not even qualified to stay in the family. Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be clearly seen from the family that the entire Zhengyuan Dalu has a strong concept of inheritance that respects strength

"I've seen quite a few girls under the age of twenty in the family. I really didn't expect there to be such two amazing beauties?"

Just when Zhang Hao was secretly groaning, seven or eight young people walked out of a green courtyard on the right, several of them were wearing clothes with the logo of the inner disciples, with a frivolous and arrogant appearance, and the first young man with his back to Zhang Hao looked at the direction where Bing Yao and Meng Yurou were at this time.

"Brother Pu, this lantern festival is really not in vain. You have to know this level of assembly, how could those young ladies in the inner door stoop down to come and buy these low-level things? These two chicks are very raw, not like the other shili juniors in the imperial capital, and they are the people who were newly introduced into the clan by the family a few years ago. ”

"Makes sense!"

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly set off a little excitement. Then he exchanged glances with the person next to him. There was a wicked smile on their faces. Immediately, he waved his hand and strode over.

"Two beauties, my brother is an elite child of the inner door, how about it, make an appointment with my brother"

"Bang"

As soon as the young man spoke, he didn't have time to finish his words, and a big palm threw it directly on his head, knocking him directly to the ground. The head slammed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Delay the old lady to look at the clothes, looking for death!" Looking at the young man who fell to the ground, hugging his head and rubbing his head for a while, Da Lian said angrily.

"Stinky Woman"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The young man grinned, and before a scolding fell, Da Lian raised his huge foot board and stomped down one foot after another, shouting: "Your mouth is so dirty! Eat at night! Eat or not?"

"Rub it, it hurts you, you slut"

Kicking his body several times in a row, the young man tried his best to stretch out his arms to hold his head, and his legs kept kicking on the ground. After pulling a little distance, he rolled over and stood up. As soon as the strength of his body appeared, the vision in front of him was dark.

Raising his eyes to look at the two cold faces that appeared in front of him, the young man's face sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Little miscellaneous, is it you?"

"Smack"

A slap was thrown, looking at the young man whose cheek was twisted to one side, a slap mark appeared on it, and a little blood stain appeared on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Hao sneered: "Zhang Pu, it seems that you really ate poop tonight?"

At this time, the scene that happened here has attracted a lot of attention, and there are more and more onlookers. Not only was his head thrown but he was also stomped five or six feet just now, and now he was slapped again, Zhang Pu's anger can be imagined. But in a slight blink of an eye, looking at Zhang Hao's flat eyes without any emotion, the past suddenly came to mind, like a basin of cold water poured on his body, making him cluck his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything cruel. Zhang Pu didn't expect that he would have come to this lantern festival today to try his luck, whether he could find a few female playmates for next year, but he would meet Zhang Hao and his party so coincidentally.

"Rubbing"

Taking a few steps back, Zhang Pu stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "Boy, don't think that you can still walk sideways when you arrive at Zhang's house." Let me tell you, if it weren't for Cousin Zhang Yu's explanation, your family would have been unable to eat and walk around! Today's slap Lao Tzu has been remembered in my heart, and sooner or later I will let you know what an idiot you did just now!"

"Okay, I'll wait!" and Zhang Pu's vicious eyes met, Zhang Hao said lightly.

"Let's go!"

Feeling the gloating gazes around him from time to time, Zhang Pu turned his head and swept away, glancing at the surrounding onlookers, knowing that staying any longer would only be more embarrassing, he immediately waved his hand and squeezed out of the crowd with a few people behind him.

"Brother Hao, this guy almost killed you on Wuyun Mountain, and you let him go so easily?" Da Lian's actions just now were so fast that Bing Yao recognized Zhang Pu just now, and when she looked at the figure of the latter leaving, she gritted her teeth and said.

Throwing a meaningful look at Bingyao, Zhang Hao did not speak, but a voice was heard in the former's mind: "It's easy to move Zhang Pu, but his background is not weak, if we do too much, at this time when the storm is surging, it is easy to become the target of public criticism because of this matter." When grandpa regains control of the Zhang family, sooner or later there will be a time to clean up the garbage. ”

Seeing that a good show that might have happened was over like this, but in a moment, the onlookers dispersed with interest and began to busy themselves again. It is simply the indifference that has nothing to do with oneself, and the interpretation is incisive.

Seeing what happened just now, Zhang Pu was obviously deflated but didn't even have the courage to fight back, the old man of the stall on the side was quite surprised, and he carefully looked at a few unfamiliar young faces in front of him, and sighed lightly after a while: "It's better to keep a low profile when you first come to the family." The water in the clan is deep, and sometimes it is better to buy peace if you suffer a loss, which is better than losing your life. ”

Seeing that his words attracted the attention of Zhang Hao and the others, the old man stretched out his hand to rearrange the clothes that Bing Yao and the others had messed up just now, and said: "Zhang Pu is well-known among the children of the inner family, because his grandfather is the seventh elder of the family, so Mo said that it is some girls from the outer family, even if it is some women from the inner family with good backgrounds, they don't dare to say anything after being played with by him." ”

"Now he is eyeing these two girls, even if the little brother's strength is about to overpower Zhang Pu, but his eldest brother is a powerful saint master, and the relationship with Young Master Zhang Yu is extremely close, if you don't have some tough background, the old man advises you to be as careful as possible. ”

Even if he belongs to an outer family, but the old man in front of him has been in the Zhang family for decades, and he has some understanding of some outstanding young people in the clan, in his impression, people who dare to treat Zhang Pu like this, I am afraid that there will be no few in the entire Zhang family. Obviously, in the eyes of the old man, Zhang Hao and the others are just young people with some strength and have not been in the family for a long time, so although the tone of persuasion in his words at this time is quite weak, it is still out of kindness.

"Old man Pan, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! How can we people talk about the above things?"

With the woman's words, seeing that the old man was also black and no longer silent, Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Xiexie, don't worry, it's okay!"

"Bang"

The next moment, a brilliant and gorgeous fireworks suddenly rose in the eastern sky, attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at the fireworks that exploded in the sky from afar as they dissipated, the dim streamer light formed a huge 'clan' character, and Uncle Ge muttered, "Young Master, this is the gathering signal before the clan banquet begins. ”

"Come, let me and Brother Menghai take the things back. Hurry up. ”

Seeing Uncle Ge reach out and take the bag in his hand, Zhang Hao said, "Aren't you going to participate in the clan meeting?"

"The clan meeting is a banquet for the elite of the family, and ordinary inner families are not eligible to participate. Although there is a young master, the old slave and Brother Menghai can also go to see it. However, most of the clan meetings are some well-known figures in the family, and if we go, we will not be comfortable inside and out. Uncle Ge said with a smile.

"Brother Ge is right, you guys go. Today, the clan sent a lot of New Year's goods door-to-door, and our brother went back to drink a few cups and take care of the family by the way. Menghai carried the things on the fat man's back and echoed.

"Okay, then be careful on the way back!"

Seeing the figures of Uncle Ge and Menghai crossing the small bridge not far in front of him, Zhang Hao turned his head and said in a condensed voice: "Today's clan meeting is actually a secret confrontation between grandpa and Zhang Yu, which is related to the future trend of the entire Zhang family.
