"The Tang Dynasty warrior monk said that my Zhao family has beautiful scenery, and what he said to experience the true meaning of martial arts through the ancient buildings of the Zhao family, these are just polite words, in the final analysis, he wants to stay in my Zhao family during the time you leave the Zhao family, and protect the safety of my Zhao family. This matter is righteous and thin, compared to the so-called ancient allies of my Zhao family, the so-called three major sects of the Sun, Moon and Star, I don't know how many times noble!"

When Zhao Yan mentioned the three major sects, a little dissatisfaction immediately appeared in his eyes, but he was only dissatisfied after all, and there was nothing he could do about the three major sects.

The covenant is dead, but man is alive.

Time has a saying: the covenant was meant to be destroyed.

How much more is it a covenant of old?

So far, countless years, so far apart, even the Zhao family itself has forgotten who the ancestor of the Zhao family who signed the ancient covenant was who was, what was his name, and what great deeds did he have in his life......

The Zhao family itself can't remember what happened at the beginning, how can the three major sects remember?

"I know...... You are a very assertive person and do not like to be judged by others. I also inquired about the entanglements between the Tang Dynasty monks and you, and in the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty monks are also well-intentioned. ”

Zhao Yan raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the boulder hall, his tone sighing.

Zhao Peng was silent.

"No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. When my Zhao family fell, the martial arts forces in the world forgot the entanglement with my Zhao family, and I wish I had never had anything to do with my Zhao family. Alas......"

Zhao Yan sighed again, and his tone became softer and softer, "Those other people you don't know, I won't say anything for the time being." Just say that the little doctor fairy and the Tang warrior monk, these two people are the deceased of your father Zhao Lie, but for more than ten years, the two have never come to my Zhao family, this year, the little doctor fairy has come to my Zhao family two or three times, and the Tang warrior monk has also come to my Zhao family three or four times, just because my Zhao family is now a strange commodity to live in. ”

He is old, but his brain is not confused.

Maybe it's because of his advanced age, when Zhao Yan speaks, his voice is far less loud than before, and he is not as neutral as before, after all, he is in his seventies, and he doesn't know how many years he can be the patriarch.

"The Tang warrior monk said that he wanted to come to my Zhao family, and I have already agreed. In any case, he is willing to come to my Zhao family to live for a while, and my Zhao family owes him a favor. ”

Zhao Yan stood up, walked slowly to the door of the boulder hall, stared at the snow in the sky, and his tone became more and more light, "When you went to sleep in the cabin at the bottom of the mountain last night, I had already discussed the matter of the next patriarch with Zhao Shanhe, Zhao Wuji, and Zhao Shun, and the three of them all said that they wanted you to be the patriarch, and only if you presided over the Zhao family, they would be convinced." ”

Patriarch?

Looking at Zhao Yan's posture, I am afraid that he doesn't want to wait until the day when he is about to die to inherit the position of patriarch, and it is very likely that he will pass the patriarch to Zhao Peng now.

Zhao Peng did not resist the position of patriarch.

He was born as a child of the Zhao family, what's wrong with being the patriarch?

The Zhao family, after all, must have a patriarch.

Zhao Peng doesn't do it, does he prefer to let others dictate to him?

It's just that Zhao Peng still has a lot of things to do, and everything is worried, he is going to leave the Zhao family and go to other places in the next few days, where is there so much thought to manage the Zhao family, which has more than a thousand people?

"The patriarch doesn't need to be too anxious about this. ”

Zhao Peng shook his head and looked at Zhao Yan who was standing at the door of the Boulder Hall. "I'm going to go to Dongtu Datang, the return date is undecided, I don't know how long it will take to come back, even if I become the patriarch, I can't interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family. It's better to wait until I'm an adult, and then talk about it. ”

The winter sky is always a little gloomy.

Zhao Peng remembered that when he had just awakened the martial arts bloodline and came to this megalith hall to see Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan's hair was gray, and now the patriarch was already full of white hair. Although the old man's spirit is still strong, and his waist is still straight, the old man's shoulders have sagged slightly.

Zhao Yan was not a martial arts master, but he had to shoulder the responsibility of the patriarch.

Over the years, he has been overwhelmed.

After years of swallowing his anger, Zhao Yan was already exhausted.

Zhao Peng still remembered that when Zhao Zhong rebelled against the Zhao family, Zhao Yan refused to believe that Zhao Zhong was a traitor no matter what, only saying that the Zhao family has been loyal and brave since ancient times, and there will never be a traitor.

The meaning of Zhao Yan's sentence is that all the men in the Zhao family are loyal and brave.

Among them, of course, includes Zhao Yan himself.

In the final analysis, Zhao Yan thinks he is a brave man, but he swallows his anger, endures humiliation, and shrinks for many years......

How many people know about the suffering?

Zhao Peng also came to this day when he saw Zhao Yan's snow-white hair and sagging shoulders, so he suddenly thought of this.

"It's okay not to be a patriarch. ”

Zhao Yan suddenly turned around and said, "If you don't want to be the patriarch for the time being, then be the head of the family." The head of the house is the head of the family. ”

Zhao Peng asked, "Can you stop doing it for the time being?"

"Can't!"

Zhao Yan shook his head resolutely, "If you don't be the head of the family, I'm not at ease!"

The matter was settled.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Yan asked the people of the Zhao family and the Zhao family to build an altar to worship the ancestors in the White Tiger Dojo.

After worshipping the ancestors, a ceremony was held for Zhao Peng to inherit the head of the family.

"The position of the head of the family has existed since ancient times. It has long been recorded in the classics of my Zhao family, in ancient times, the Zhao family not only had a patriarch, but also a family head. The patriarch is the head of the family, the elder and the elder, and the head of the family is the head of the family, from today on, Zhao Peng is the head of my Zhao family......"

After some words, Zhao Yan asked Zhao Peng to kneel in front of the altar and bow down to the ancestors.

Then, Mama Rong stepped forward again, combed Zhao Peng's hair, tied her long hair into a bun, and brought a jade crown. This is the wearing of a crown in the hair, which means that the person has reached adulthood.

When I reached adulthood, I was eighteen years old.

However, in order to make Zhao Peng the head of the family in a righteous manner, the Zhao family couldn't care so much, so they directly held a ceremony for adults to tie their hair and wear crowns.

After the ceremony of the head of the family, the Zhao family set up a banquet, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

At noon, Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Wuji had already arranged their salutes, rode a white tiger, led more than 200 Zhao family martial arts people, and brought hundreds of carriages to gather at the gate of the Zhao family's compound.

Zhao Peng and Guanlan are at the front of the team.

The battle is imminent!

Zhao Yan and Rong Mama and others, as well as Zhao Peng, who had the best relationship with Zhao Peng, Zhao Hao and others, all came to say goodbye to Zhao Peng, and when Zhao Shanhe held high the Zhao character battle flag and blew the horn of the Sea Emperor, and the team slowly left Zhao's house, a warrior monk with short hair and wearing linen clothes flew over from the southwest sky on a wild goose.

Tang Dynasty warrior monk.

After the warrior monk came, he didn't land immediately, only let the wild goose fly in the air, and then he put out an erhu with his back behind him, his arm shook slightly, and pulled the strings of the erhu.

The melodious sound of the piano spreads all over the mountains.

Zhao Peng arched his hand into the air, which was regarded as a promise to the Tang Dynasty monk who took the initiative to guard the Zhao family this time, and then rode away on a blazing flame horse.

A team of more than 200 people behind Zhao Peng rode the white tiger of the Zhao family and carried a carriage pulled by hundreds of mysterious beast horses. The carriage carried eighty-one bronze bells, as well as some alchemy furnaces that were not extinguishing the fire.

Outside the Zhao family's compound, there were thousands of people seeing them off. More than 1,000 of them are members of the Zhao family, and the others are children, who were rescued by the Zhao family from the Hanging Bell City when the Hanging Bell City was destroyed.

As for those who came across the border who were captured by Zhao Peng, the Zhao family had already made arrangements.

The Zhao family has been inherited from ancient times, and the family has a deep heritage, and the Zhao family has long had a practice on how to deal with prisoners of war. People in the Xuanmen such as Huang Qi have already been pierced by the Zhao family's golden needle to pierce the ancestral aperture of the Xuanmen, and they have abolished their martial arts strength, and they can no longer drive the Xuanqi of heaven and earth.

Although the strength of martial arts has been abolished, the physical fitness of these people far exceeds that of ordinary people, and they are used for mining, striking iron, plowing fields, and doing a lot of hard work, but they are very useful. Moreover, these people used to be from the Xuanmen, and they all had certain attainments in martial arts, and even many people knew how to alchemy, build weapons, and arrange formations. And the Zhao family is not good at these aspects, so it is just right for these people to pass on the skills of alchemy to the children of the Zhao family.

The wheels are rolling.

The sound of the car rumbled.

In a moment, Zhao Peng had come to the foot of Zhaojia Mountain, and in front of him was the Luoshui River, and a bridge spanned both sides of the Luoshui River.

"Lord!"

Suddenly, Guanlan's expression changed slightly, he left the team, rushed towards a snowdrift dozens of meters away from the bridge, picked up an object from the ground, and handed it to Zhao Peng.

It's a silver feather.

About a foot long, it shimmers like sterling silver.

"It's the feathers of the silver Pegasus!"

Guanlan put the silver feather in Zhao Peng's hand, and then turned his head to look at the snow around him, with a little doubt in his eyes. "The silver pegasus is very precious, rare in the world, only the Burning Blood Dao Master has raised a few, there is no silver Pegasus in the world of the First Star Martial Arts, this horse must be ridden by the personal disciple of the Burning Blood Dao Master. The personal disciple of the Burning Blood Dao Lord only has the strength of the Xuanshi Martial Dao, and she is far from being the opponent of the lord, she dares to ride a silver pegasus here to find out the news! This person is either bold or has something to rely on, and the lord has to guard against it. ”

Silver Pegasus?

Zhao Peng picked up the feather and looked at it, nodded noncommittally, and said, "In this way, that Shou'an is also a little bold." No wonder he dared to lead the army to garrison the border of the Green Spirit Empire, and wanted to block my Zhao family's team and prevent me from entering the Green Spirit Empire to seek revenge. ”

Guanlan's eyes lit up, and she frowned: "Shou'an?

"Shou'an is not a name, it is a Dao name given to her by the Burning Blood Dao Master when she was cultivating in the Burning Blood Dojo. ”

Zhao Peng put the silver feather into the Void Gem, turned around, glanced at the snow-covered Zhaojiashan from a distance, and said, "This Dao number was told to me by Huang Qi. ”

"Arachi?"

Guanlan sighed lightly, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said proudly: "I am a grand master of the Xuanmen, and that absurd prayer is just a grandmaster. The personal disciple of the Burning Blood Dao Lord didn't want to say a word to me, the great grandmaster, but he frowned with the absurd prayer of the Sword Lan Sect, and even told him the Dao number, it was really a pair of dog men and women. ”

"Maybe that Shou'an is in the Qingyun Imperial Capital at the moment. If you can capture her alive, you will definitely be able to ask for the recipe to drive the Swirling Turtle Bronze Banner!"

Zhao Peng rode the Flame Flying Horse, took the lead, and galloped away.

Flames flew on horses' hooves, burning clusters of blazing fireworks.

The immaculate white snow was burned by the flames, leaving behind a line of black horseshoe footprints.

The hoof prints stretched from Zhaojia Mountain to the capital of the Qingyun Empire, thousands of miles away.

Qingyun Imperial Capital!

This city, Zhao Peng has been famous for a long time......
