Jiufeng Ridge, inside the ancestral temple of the Zhou family.

In front of the vast majority of the Zhou family, Zhou Wende, the elder of the Zhou family, solemnly announced the various reform regulations of the Zhou family.

According to what he said, since the Zhou family is now officially inherited in the form of the Immortal Cultivation Family, it should continue its own inheritance in the future like the major Immortal Cultivation Families.

Therefore, the first point of change is to arrange the characters and change the name.

Heaven and earth are clear, respecting the way and guarding the family, and thinking about the source, these twelve characters are the characters of the Zhou family that Zhou Wende discussed with the patriarchs and elders.

In the future, starting from Zhou Wende to newborn children, they will be named according to these twelve characters.

And because the age of the monks of the Zhou family is now both big and young, the specific words they should use are divided from Zhou Wende's ancestors down to fifty years.

According to this division, the Zhou family has two generations of "Ming", that is, the Taishang Elder Zhou Mingde and the Great Elder Zhou Mingshan.

The word "Chong" is one generation, and it is the second elder Zhou Chongshan.

There are two generations of "Dao", the third elder Zhou Daoquan and the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

There are three people in the "Shou" generation, all of whom are members of the Zhou family who are over 100 years old.

"Family" has the largest number of people, with 67 people.

There are also thirty-three monks of the "positive" generation, and this character will continue to be used for more than ten years.

In this order, Zhou Chun, Zhou Yong, and other monks of the same age, as well as a thirty-five-year-old Zhou Jingwen, are lined up as "positive".

And like Zhou Fei, who Zhou Chun knew before, he was ranked in the "family" generation.

Zhou He, the peak owner of Baozhi Peak, is also ranked in the "family" generation.

After the characters are arranged, when the clansmen within the next three generations call each other, they must be called grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters.

Among peers, it is based on age.

In this way, Zhou Chun was ranked thirteen among the monks of the same generation of the "Zheng" generation, which was a little older than most of the monks of the same generation.

In order to make it easier for each monk of the Zhou family to have a good idea of the people of each generation, this manual was specially distributed to each monk of the Zhou family on the spot, which listed in detail the ranking of the current monks of the Zhou family and their peers.

Those Zhou family monks who did not show up will be distributed in the same way in the future.

Obviously, the purpose of this practice of arranging characters and changing names is to unite all the Zhou family monks inside and outside the upper and lower levels, and increase their sense of identity with the family and other clansmen.

With blood and family as the bond, and the names between relatives as the button, all the Zhou family monks are connected together, so that they can truly recognize the big family of the Zhou family.

Zhou Mingde, the high-level officials of the Zhou family, can be regarded as well-intentioned.

And because Zhou Mingde and other high-ranking members of the Zhou family took the lead in changing their names, even if some of the Zhou family monks felt uncomfortable with the sudden emergence of some elders from their grandfather's and uncles' generation, they could only endure it and could not object.

Of course, in order to eliminate the discomfort in the hearts of this part of the Zhou family monks, Zhou Mingde also made a serious statement on the spot, and he would never allow any Zhou family monk to bully other clansmen with low seniority by virtue of his high rank and longevity.

And considering that some people's names may not be catchy after they are added to the character generation, when the current Zhou family monks are allowed to call themselves to the outside world, they are still called by their original names.

All in all, the character generation was made in order to unite the Zhou family monks, and it must not be allowed to become something that hinders the unity of the Zhou family monks.

After the word generation, Zhou Mingde soon announced a second change.

That is, according to the three factors of the Zhou family monk's cultivation, merit, and qualification, the existing Zhou family monk's identity will be ranked.

The highest grade is the Supreme Elder, followed by the Patriarch, and then the Elder.

Below the elders, there are three grades: core clansmen, elite clansmen, and ordinary clansmen.

In the future, whether it is the annual welfare offering, or the right to exchange and use certain family resources, and the right to practice the secret arts, they will be graded according to the identity of each member of the Zhou family.

Even in the future, when the clansmen clash with each other and it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong, when the patriarchs and elders judge right and wrong, they will favor the side with a higher status.

According to this regulation, now every Spirit Peak Peak Peak Master in Jiufeng Ridge except for Pagoda Peak will automatically become the core clan member of the family.

Clansmen who have cultivated in the late stage of Qi refining will also automatically become elite clansmen of the family, and the rest are ordinary clansmen.

In the next 10 years, this set of criteria for determining the level of identity will be valid.

That is, ordinary clansmen like Zhou Chun, as long as they can cultivate to the late stage of qi refining within ten years, they can be automatically promoted to elite clansmen.

Of course, if an ordinary clansman performs well and has made a great contribution to the family, or has very good qualifications, even if his cultivation is not in the late stage of Qi refining, he can be promoted to an elite clan, or even a core clan.

Obviously, compared to just listening to the word ranking, this identity grade recognition is a real benefit.

This set is somewhat similar to the elite disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples in the sect, or it is just a change of name.

With this status grading system, in the future, in order to improve their own treatment and obtain more cultivation resources, those ordinary clansmen and elite clansmen must work hard to improve their cultivation and accumulate merits, in order to become core clansmen.

This highly motivating change was undoubtedly accepted by all the Zhou monks on the spot.

After that, Zhou Mingde said the third change.

This change is about the Zhou family monks joining the sect and marrying in the future.

The Zhou family will not stop the clansmen from entering other sects in the future, but will provide some help and give some subsidies.

But these are not gratuitous.

If a monk of the Zhou family accepts the subsidy help of the Zhou family after worshipping the sect, but fails to build a foundation before the age of 60 and fails to become an inner disciple of the sect, he must return to the family and serve the family with peace of mind in the future, or return the money and goods subsidized by the family to him.

At the same time, if the monks of the Zhou family want to break away from the family because of their personal marriage, they must compensate the family for all kinds of resources that have been spent on them over the years, and they must not privately spread the family's secret methods and leak the family secrets.

On the other hand, if it is because of personal marriage, if you bring a relative monk to the family, the family will also have a reward.

Judging from this third change, the family style of the Zhou family is still extremely enlightened, at least Zhou Mingde and their high-level leaders are the kind of enlightened people.

At least Zhou Chun substituted himself, if he wanted to worship a certain sect, or leave the family for a beloved woman, the family's enlightened approach would make him very grateful and remember it for a lifetime.

Of course, he would not do such a thing.

Those immortal cultivators don't say whether they are good or not, after entering, they are not people with excellent qualifications, and the treatment may not be as good as in the Zhou family, and they will even be more oppressed and restrained.

After these three major changes were announced, Zhou Mingde went on to announce some new clan rules.

For example, it is strictly forbidden to provoke the Qinglianguan and other major sects and big families with Yuanying monks and Jindan monks in charge, it is strictly forbidden to take the initiative to provoke some forces in Yasukuni with Zifu monks in charge, and it is strictly forbidden to swagger and deceive outside in the name of the Zhou family, kill people and seize treasures, and ruin the reputation of the Zhou family, and so on.

Correspondingly, the restriction that the monks of the Zhou family were not allowed to leave the Jiufengling Mountain Gate.

In the future, if the monks of the Zhou family want to leave the Jiufengling Mountain Gate, as long as they have a legitimate reason, apply to the patriarch in advance, and they can leave after approval.

In this way, he had been in the ancestral hall for more than an hour, and after listening to the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde announce and explain various reform decisions and clan rules, Zhou Chun and the Zhou family monks were able to disperse and leave.

And the announcement of the clan meeting in the ancestral hall this time has naturally aroused heated discussions among the monks of the whole clan.

Even when the Pure Spirit Pavilion was in charge, Zhou Chun would hear several clan uncles and brothers discussing this matter.

He also expressed some of his own opinions, mostly in favor of and support.

There are no rules, at least in Zhou Chun's view, the changes made by Zhou Mingde and other high-level officials of the Zhou family have a positive effect, and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

Now the monks of the Zhou family are hotly discussed, just because they are not used to these reform measures.

When they get used to it, they won't care about it anymore.
