The Nian family as a whole is divided into the own family and distant relatives, that is to say, the grandfather of Nian Hailong's generation is the same person, and their father is a brother, but because the five qualifications of Brother Nian Hailong are much higher than others, they control the Nian family and become their own family, and the others become distant relatives, just like our cousins today. There will be such a struggle between each generation of the Nian family, so the family and the distant relatives are not absolute, which is one of the reasons why these juniors train hard.

"Alright, call a few of them to the ancestral hall, and let's get started. Nian Hailong put away the sheepskin and rolled up his whole clothes, Nian Haifeng responded, and his sleeve robe suddenly bulged, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I'm so old and I like to show off so much. Nian Hailong shook his head with a smile, got up and walked towards the ancestral hall.

In Nian Xiao's room, he and the two of them were in a daze at the canary on the bed, and the canary fell on the bed with its head drooping, completely devoid of yesterday's vitality.

"Brother Nian Xiao, the little bird won't die. "The age has two big watery eyes, and the cute appearance makes people feel pity.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's still hot when you touch it, how can it die if it's so powerful. ”

"Then how is it lifeless. ”

"I'm ...... too" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Nian Xiao ran to open the door.

Young Teng said: "Xiao'er, Ling'er is also there." ”

"Second uncle is good. "The age is well-behaved and says hello to the young ivy.

Nian Qingteng smiled and said, "Your fifth uncle asked you to go to the ancestral hall, it seems that a ceremony is going to be held, and a new chapter belonging to you is coming." ”

"Then let's go, second uncle, goodbye. "Age said hello, and he was about to go out with Nian Xiao.

"Xiao'er, you must practice hard!" This sentence Nian Qingteng said very seriously, his expression was extremely serious, his eyes looked directly at Nian Xiao, there was a kind of sustenance in his eyes, and there was also a strength.

Nian Xiao nodded heavily, bowed his head and walked out.

The ancestral hall of the Nian family is not so much called an ancestral hall as it is a temple, Nian Xiao and the others standing in it seem extremely empty, the eight of them, the five brothers of Nian Hailong, and some distant elders are less than twenty people in total, and they can't fill a few tenths of it at all.

In the front is a very large sculpture, the sculpture points to the front with its left hand, and holds a brush in its right hand, as if writing the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and its face cannot be seen clearly, giving people a full imperial domineering.

Behind the sculpture is a stone pen, one foot seven inches long, inlaid with thirteen red pearls, shining. Next to it, it is written in a line of grass "The rain falls and the wind falls, and the pen falls and the wind falls".

Further back is a couplet, the upper couplet reads "the height of the temple", the lower couplet is "far away from the rivers and lakes", and the horizontal criticism "the worries of the world first".

Seeing this couplet, Nian Xiao was suddenly startled, these words suddenly emitted a golden light, broke away from the pillar, and hit him word by word. Suddenly, a force penetrated the whole body, and the desire to worry about the country and the people and the world in his chest was unprecedentedly strong, as if he wanted to break through the body and release it immediately. The family's pride and sense of mission made him can't help but sacrifice his life for the family immediately.

"Haha......" A loud laugh woke up Nian Xiao, and he found that the others were the same as him, Nian Hailong was full of smiles and seemed to be very satisfied with their performance.

At the back of the couplet are the portraits and spiritual positions of the ancestors of the Nian family.

Nian Hailong tidied up his clothes, and said: "I guess you all felt it just now, yes, that is the ancestral training of my Nian family, only by experiencing the baptism of ancestral training can you open the avenue of pen and ink, Qingteng." ”

Nian Qingteng came out in response, holding nine sandalwood sticks the thickness of chopsticks and handing it to Nian Hailong.

Nian Hailong said solemnly: "The avenue of pen and ink, with the pen to the heart, the book can be tackled, and the painting can kill." This ceremony can also be regarded as your rite of passage, opening the road of pen and ink. ”

"The avenue of pen and ink, with the pen to the heart, the book can be tackled, and the painting can kill. These words spoken by the uncle are so difficult to understand, could it be that the calligraphy and paintings written can kill people?" Nian Xiao touched his head.

The same can be said. Age replied in a low voice.

"What! ”

"Don't say it, it's broken when you find out. ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a stream of ink fragrance spread throughout the hall, only to see that Nian Hailong had an extra pen in his hand at some point, which looked exactly the same as the stone pen enshrined, and he did not dip in ink, and wrote the glittering "Pen and Ink Avenue" in the void with four large characters. These four words shine brightly, shining on the hall, making everyone have a feeling of bathing in the sun.

"Uncle is so amazing!" the young man's face turned red with excitement.

"Hey, you see that uncle's pen is exactly the same as the pen enshrined in the ancestral hall. Nian Xiao asked in a low voice.

"That's our family's treasure 'Jinghong', ranked sixteenth on the Holy Pen List, but it's amazing!"

Nian Hailong lit nine sticks of sandalwood and inserted them in the big tripod in front of the sculpture, and said loudly: "Worship the emperor's ancestor, nine kowtows!" and led everyone to kowtow respectfully to the sculpture.

"Hey, who is this Emperor Ancestor?" asked Nian Xiao in a low voice as he kowtowed.

According to legend, he is the originator of the Avenue of Pen and Ink, and he is also the only one who is strong in Jiuyan. ”

"So powerful!" Nian Xiao was very surprised, his voice suddenly became louder, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly made a shushing gesture.

Nian Hailong took three sandalwood sticks from Nian Qingteng's hand, inserted them in the incense burner in front of the ancestor's spiritual throne, and said, "Worship the ancestor, three kowtows!"

"Worship the ancestor only three kowtows, but worship the ancestor wants nine kowtows, huh...... It's terrible!" Nian Xiao muttered quietly.

"The Avenue of Pen and Ink is officially opened!"

As the voice of the Nian Hailong fell, the sudden successive bells rang throughout the valley, and the whole ear was deafening! Everyone's brain was buzzing, and there was a feeling of waking up from a dream and suddenly opening up, as if something had been opened.

At this time, in a large hall on the east side of the World Outer Valley, an old man with a protruding forehead and a look like a birthday star suddenly opened his eyes and said with a serious expression: "The bell rings nine times, it is ......."

To the west of the Outer Valley, a waterfall rushes down, stirring up thousands of rocks. A person wearing a purple and gold crown and a hundred flowers robe stood in the waterfall without moving: "The bell rings nine times, it seems to come from Nian's family." His eyes were as empty and deep as the ocean.

The clouds in the south, a person's long black hair fluttering in the wind, but his beard and eyebrows were as white as snowflakes, he heard the bell and his body shook, and muttered: "Nine rings, the junior of the Nian family must have a big man appear, this ......"

Nian Hailong said: "You have experienced hard work since childhood, and you have stepped into the avenue today, regardless of the level of qualifications, the depth of your roots, you are the pride of the Nian family, the future of the Nian family, you shoulder the mission of the Nian family, once you enter the avenue, you will work hard, make great efforts, rise my Nian family, and revitalize my Nian family." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nian Xiao found that everyone except him was very excited, as if his blood was boiling. The age is even more red, and the eyes are firm, as if they have made a lot of determination.
