Chapter Ninety-Seven: Handing Over to the Patriarch

Early the next morning, all the clansmen received the news that the clan ancestral hall held a clan meeting at noon, to know that it was not the day of the "festival", but the patriarch was going to hold a clan meeting, which had to make the clansmen have ideas, and some people were even wondering if Gu Yi had woken up and the patriarch was going to abdicate?

There are not a few people in the Gu family who have this idea, after all, Gu Yi is now the hero of the entire Gu family.

It was noon, and there were more and more people in the ancestral hall, and with the increase in the number of people, the originally quiet ancestral hall also began to make noise, and there were discussions or something.

Among them, the topic of whether Gu Yi wants to take over as the new patriarch is the most.

Some of the elders didn't think much of it, thinking that the patriarch might have some next move or something.

Anyway, the outline of the Temple of Heaven is talked about and everything.

I also heard these talks about ancient meanings, so I laughed them off and didn't take them to heart.

Looking at the empty seat of the chief, it was as if the five-flavor bottle had been overturned.

It's not that he wants this patriarch in ancient righteousness, but after today, his father will go to the distant Central Empire to find the ethereal ancient emperor inheritance, and the most important thing is life or death, everything is unknown.

"Patriarch. โ€

"Patriarch. โ€

"Patriarch. โ€

ยทยทยทยท Along the way, all the people who saw the ancient knife gave the ancient knife a salute, and the ancient knife should be nodded one by one.

"Father!"

Gu Dao paused slightly, lowered his voice in his throat and agreed.

"Yes!"

When Gu Dao walked to Gu Yi's side, he shouted and answered, showing Gu Dao's great determination.

Gu Yi's father, is he reminding Gu Dao that he has really decided like this? There is basically no room for redemption to give up the position of patriarch, which means that Gu Dao will leave the Gu family, leave the family where he has stayed for decades, go to the unknown region, explore the unknown inheritance, everything is full of slimness and crisis.

The ancient knife also poured out the great determination of the ancient knife, a kind of heroism that does not become a god and becomes a ghost, and the determination of the strong man to never return is clearly revealed.

Hearing Gu Yi's voice "Hmm!" Gu Yi stopped talking, because he knew Gu Dao, and it can be said that there are many aspects of his character that have inherited Gu Dao's character, that is, stubbornness.

It's just a bull with a strong temper.

The ancient knife came to the first seat, took a deep breath, and calmed the turmoil in his heart.

said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, I have summoned everyone here today because I have something important to announce." โ€

Hearing the sound of the ancient knife, the ancestral shrine, which was still noisy, instantly quieted down, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the ancient knife here.

He said: "Compared with many people who are guessing the content of calling everyone to the ancestral hall for the clan meeting today, I also believe that many people have already guessed the reason why I called everyone to the clan meeting today. The ancient knife inspected the circle before continuing to speak.

"That's right, the purpose of summoning everyone here today is to tell you that I, Gu Dao, will hand over the position of patriarch today. โ€

"Buzz !!" exploded in an instant.

Although many people guessed that the holding of the clan meeting today might be a matter of handing over the patriarch, when this matter was confirmed from the mouth of the ancient knife, they still couldn't accept it for a while.

Looking at the crowd of people discussing below, Gu Dao could also understand, and Gu Dao didn't scold him, just waiting for them to talk there.

Finally, the noisy ancestral hall quieted down, and Gu Dao said: "Today, the sixteenth generation patriarch of my Gu family, abdicate and retreat to practice, strive to impact the Supreme Dao and Linghai Realm as soon as possible, and pass on the position of patriarch to my younger brother, Gu Xing." โ€

"Hum!" As soon as Gu Dao's voice fell, the crowd that had just quieted down, because of his words, they didn't expect that the patriarch would abdicate, and the one on top would actually be the second elder, although most of the things in the family were usually handled by the second elder, but the second elder took over as the patriarch too suddenly for them.

The clansmen are not against the second elder being the patriarch, but they are different from the young patriarch they imagined, so they didn't react for a while, and it is normal for people to not accept it.

Gu Dao also knew that it would definitely be impossible for the clansmen to accept it for a while, so he didn't stop it, let the clansmen talk about it, how to say it, but also give the clansmen a buffer time and a process of acceptance, right?

In a quarter of an hour, Gu Dao looked at the time before he spoke: "Okay, everyone heard that after today, the patriarch of this sect will retreat to comprehend the Supreme Dao, and he will not go out of the realm of Linghai if he does not reach the realm of Linghai, and everything in the family will need the second elder and you in the future." โ€

"The second elder took over the position of the patriarch, and the Great Elder, the Supreme Elder and the patriarch of the three of them were selected after a long time of selection, so now if you have any opinions, you can say it as soon as possible, after today, the second elder of Gu Xing will be the patriarch. โ€

Hearing that it was the Supreme Elder, the Great Elder, and the Patriarch who had chosen the three people, who would still have opinions and ideas? In the Gu family, a united family, they did not attach much importance to power, and what they wanted was the prosperity and prosperity of the family.

As long as everything is for the family, they will definitely support Gu Xing, saying that many things of the Gu family over the years have been handled by the second elder Gu Xing, and Gu Xing will be able to adapt to it very quickly as the patriarch.

"Okay, everyone is quiet, since there are no opinions, then let's start the handover ceremony of the patriarch. After speaking, he turned around and came to the edge of the ancestral shrine and knelt down slowly.

A group of people in the back all knelt down with Gu Yi, and the black head looked so unspectacular.

"The ancestors are above, the sixteenth generation patriarch of my ancient family, Gu Dao, today the patriarch is located in my brother, and I have come to inform the ancestors, I hope that the ancestors are in the spirit of the sky, and God bless my ancient family. After saying that, he kowtowed nine times and stood up.

shouted behind him: "Someone, bring wine to !!"

After a while, someone behind him brought a wine jar and a large bowl and placed them in front of the ancient knife.

"Po!!" opened the wine jar and a smell of wine came to the nose, and many people present showed intoxicated expressions.

Many people showed expressions of enjoyment, you must know that this is the family's tribute wine, only when the family handover patriarch ceremony will take it out and pour such a bowl, but this wine is precious.

A bowl of wine was poured into the bowl, and even Gu Yi, who didn't like wine, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, let alone others, and the Gu family was not without alcoholics.

There are a number of wine-loving clansmen who have shown a look of enjoyment at the moment, and they are almost intoxicated to see which one looks.

"Ahh

took the knife that the ancient family had been passing down the handover of the patriarch ceremony, and cut a hole in the arm without blinking his eyes.

The blood dripped unfathomably in the wine bowl, and Gu Xing also tore open his sleeve in a similar manner, and took the dagger that he didn't know from the patriarch of that area from the hand of the ancient knife, cut a wound, and dripped the blood into the wine bowl.

In a few moments, the crystal clear wine turned into a bowl of blood wine.
