Chapter 5: The Great Ceremony of the Yu Family
In the past few days, Yu Miao suddenly felt unwell, and her stomach sometimes even turned cloudy, causing her appetite to be greatly reduced. After struggling to shake off the following Chengying Army, he walked quickly to a pharmacy, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked the guy at the pharmacy: "Eh, do you know where Lang Zhong is, I'm not feeling well?"
The guy from the pharmacy had just been transferred from other places, and he only knew about the Yu Mansion, but he had never seen the Miss Yu family, and he only felt that this person was dressed up quite gracefully, and he was very rich. So he greeted her with a smile and said that there was a Lang Zhong here, so he yelled loudly inside and called out the Lang Zhong inside.
Lang Zhong walked over and glanced at Yu Miao, slightly aware that it was a little familiar, but his memory was not good, and he forgot where he had seen it, so he sat down opposite Yu Miao, and asked Yu Miao's hand to give him a pulse.
Lang Zhong's face paused for a moment, and became delighted.
Lang Zhong turned his head and asked with obvious joy in his tone, "Dare to ask if this young lady has been here for menstruation in the past few months?"
Yu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. As a "hero" in the women's middle school, of course, I don't know much about the concept of no menstruation.
Lang Zhong looked at Yu Miao, and saw that she obviously didn't react, so he immediately said congratulatorily: "Congratulations, Miss, this is Ximai." ”
Yu's expression seemed to be frozen, frozen on her face: How? When? Whose is it?
Yu Miao was puzzled, but after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on her.
This child is of Luro.
Yu Miao's face unconsciously showed a happy smile, and after paying the money to Lang Zhong, he told him not to talk about it everywhere, turned around and walked out.
She was worried about the child, although she couldn't see anything unusual now, but what about a few months later? If Father Yu Shi knew that he was carrying him and Yu Luo on his back, and he was pregnant with the child, he would probably have to accept a beating of his head and face, and even beat the child off.
Yu Miao walked to the Yu Mansion with a worried face, and as soon as the door was pushed, he saw the not very kind face of Yu Shi's father.
Yu Miao pretended to be calm and walked in, and after bowing slightly to Yu Shi's father, he walked quickly to his room.
Father Yu Shi glanced at her, stopped her in a loud voice, and asked sharply: "Where are you going to play, didn't you stay at home to assist your mother?"
Yu Miao turned around, buried her head, didn't dare to look directly at Yu Shi's father, and said with a smile: "Dad, my daughter is just bored for a while, so go out and relax." If the father has nothing to do, the daughter will retire first. After speaking, Yu Miao did not stay for a moment, and turned back to his room.
Seeing her gradually walking away, Father Yu Shi set off to walk towards the main hall, bowed his head and summoned the attendants beside him, and ordered him to go down to check the trajectory of Yu Shi's movements.
A few days without incident.
Today, the people in the Yu Mansion were surging, and Yu Shifu walked slowly to the main hall, sat on the main seat, and glanced around. Today, the elders of the family have all arrived, a few months ago, Father Yu Shi summoned all the elders, and now the people have arrived, and the city of Yu Mansion is not lively for a while. And there was only one reason why Father Yu Shi summoned all the elders:
The inheritance of the palace.
When the descendants of the Mansion pass the year of standing, they will have the qualifications to compete for the qualifications, and determine a few winners through the way of martial arts, and then they can practice the ancestral secret method of the Mansion: Shadow Thorn. The winner of the ceremony will become a candidate for the head of the Qiu family, and a few months later, the most talented person with the most cultivation results will be tested, and after discussion by the elders and patriarchs, one person will be selected from the two as the head of the Yu family, of course, if it is the same person both times, then it is beyond reproach.
However, the inheritance of the Yu family has been inherited by the father of Yu Shi in recent generations, and this time Father Yu Shi also has ulterior motives, using the advantages of Yu Gongfu as a general to suppress the elders. Even if the elders strongly recommend the person, they will not have the martial arts of Yu Gong Su, at most, it can be regarded as a small test for Yu Gong Su.
It seems that the winner of this inheritance conference is already him.
The elders are also dumb and eat coptis, and they can't tell if they have bitterness. Even though he knew that the result had been decided, he was powerless, and the skills of the other people in the family were not as good as Yu Gongsu, so he could only watch as Yu Gongsu won the position of patriarch and successor.
Suddenly, the door of the Yu Mansion was opened with a "clang", and the Yu Gong Su walked in, seeing that the elders had arrived, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he swaggered towards the main hall.
Yu Gongsu knelt down in front of Father Yu Shi, and saluted respectfully: "Father, the child has been cleaned up, waiting for his father's order." After speaking, Father Yu Shi nodded and waved his hand to signal Yu Gongfu to retreat.
When the Great Elder Yu Ye heard Yu Gongsu's words, his brows furrowed, and he turned to Father Yu Shi and asked, "Patriarch, this is the ......" Father Yu Shi smiled: "Recently, there have been some riots in the capital, I asked my son to rectify the 'City Shadow Army' in the city, and let those minions deal with the recent thugs in the capital." ”
Yu Ye bowed slightly, turned his head back, glanced at Yu Gongsu, and did not say a word.
Father Yu Shi's head tilted slightly, and he ordered the guards beside him, "Go and call Yu Miao." With an order, the servant next to him hid his figure, and after a moment, he invited Yu Miao over. After saying goodbye to Father Yu Shi and the elders again, she walked to the side of Gong Su and stood still.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Father Yu Shi got up and announced, "Then this inheritance ceremony will begin!"
After finishing speaking, Father Yu and everyone walked to the main hall, revealing the backyard that had been changed into a martial arts platform.
The backyard of the palace can be regarded as huge, boxy, there is a hundred-year-old banyan tree in each corner, even so, there is still a large vacant area in the middle, built into a martial arts platform, a group of more than 100 people in the front yard is standing side by side, to the backyard seems sparse and loose. Father Yu Shi and the three elders sat on one side of the backyard, sitting and looking at the platform, waiting quietly.
The ceremony has officially begun!
Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the jousting platform, but although the shadow was on the ground, the owner of the shadow was not seen, and in the expectation of everyone, the owner of the shadow appeared quietly and quickly at a very fast speed.
The audience exclaimed: "Melter!" In the backyard, except for the elder and Father Yushi, the rest of the people exclaimed, and everyone turned their heads to each other, and they were also full of praise for this.
The person who appeared was the personal guard of Father Yushi's side, and his ability was definitely much better than the generals around him before. And "Melter" is an honorific title for someone who has studied "Shadow Thorn", indicating that he and his shadow are one.
In fact, the "melter" is not accurate, because after learning, the person does not merge with the shadow, but hides his body by himself, and only the shadow can be seen. However, because the form of its manifestation is quite similar to that of the body hidden in the shadows, I don't know when the term "melter" was called. The people of the Qiu family also felt that this statement was quite in line with their ideas, so they did not go to correct it.
The new patriarch can select a small group of talented people from the Yu family to become the "Melter" group of the head of the Yu family when cultivating the "Shadow Thorn", and the leader of the "Melter" becomes the personal guard of the patriarch, protecting the safety of the patriarch anytime and anywhere. The "melter" generally does not appear in the body, but can be hidden in the shadow at all times, and then manifest the body when necessary. Because of this, the "Shadow Thorn" is known as the treasure of the killer world, because it can kill a person silently without leaving a trace.
Most of the time, many of the members of the "Melter" group are protégés who have won the competition and practiced together with the head of the family. If someone in the family becomes a "melter", many times they are friends with the head of the family and have outstanding abilities, which also leads to some protégés who have great talent not met.
The "melter" who appeared on the competition platform was the leader of Yu Shifu's "melter" group. I saw that the person on the stage hugged his fists and saluted, and walked to the center of the competition platform, and after a while, the four corners of the competition platform also appeared one after another, and the competition platform was divided into four petals, each of whom was responsible for an area to maintain order.
Seeing that he was ready, Father Yu Shi was lucky, and said loudly: "Let's start!"
When the contestants heard the order, they all came to the stage and tried at the same time.
