Chapter Twenty-Four: Bow to the End, and Die!
Half a day later, the Sima Yuan family meeting, the main hall.
Sima Yuan was sitting upright on a pale gold wooden chair, with unicorns on each side raising their heads, all of them roaring.
More than 100 Sima clans below knelt down and chanted in unison:
"Meet the Patriarch".
Sima Yuan was silent for a moment, and his gaze moved downward.
The two spirit gods below stood on the left and right, several demigods leaned over slightly, and many clansmen bowed more than once.
Outside the door, there were hundreds of Sima clansmen who knelt on the ground.
Sima Yuan's eyes first fell on the people in the room, and after looking around, he said softly: "Get up."
Everyone stood up respectfully and raised their eyes to look at Sima Yuan.
I saw him turn his gaze and look at the Sima Clan Spirit God on the right. His name is Sima Kun, the third in line, and he is a spiritual god in the first realm.
Sima Yuan's face was slightly solemn, and he said slowly: "In the future, the matter of the precepts and punishments in the clan will be handed over to the clan brothers, I don't know what you think?"
Sima Kun's appearance is nearly forty years, compatible and upright, quite upright, and his conduct, talent and temperament are excellent, which can be seen from the previous scene.
Sima Kun was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to refuse, he saw that Sima Yuan's eyes were quite sincere, and his heart suddenly became hot, and he immediately paused solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Patriarch, don't worry, if there is a traitor in the clan, I will definitely not spare it!"
Many people saw that this newly appointed person handed over the power of punishment to the third uncle, and their hearts suddenly sank.
It is not only a layer of respect and recognition for Sima Yuan, but also a little frightened by Sima Kun's execution of the criminal law.
You must know that this third uncle ancestor has always been jealous and hateful, and he is ruthless when he treats the erring clansmen, and many people have grown up under his 'spur' since childhood.
Sima Yuan bowed his head, raised his eyes, and said slowly: "What to do with those descendants outside the gate will be handed over to the clan brother." ”
Sima Kun's face froze when he heard this, and the person outside the door stiffened almost at the same time when he heard this.
After he glanced at Sima Yuan, and then at the people outside, his brows furrowed quietly, his eyes sank, there seemed to be a fierce light in his eyes, and he said almost subconsciously: "Since they have rebelled against the clan, then." ”
"Clan brother, the ancestor once said that the reason why my Sima clan can stand proudly among the top ten families in the Spirit God Domain is because of the concerted efforts of the whole clan, and the whole family is unanimous!" Sima Yuan immediately interrupted Sima Kun's words and stopped what he wanted to say.
When the people of the outer family heard Sima Kun's words, they trembled all over, and their eyes just fell gloomy and remorseful, so they listened to Sima Yuan's words, and they suddenly perked up, and then their eyes were warm, and they almost wept bitterly and prostrate on the ground, and kept crying in their mouths: "Patriarch, we are wrong, we know that we are wrong." ”
Sima Kun looked at the children and grandchildren outside the door who were extremely optimistic in the past, his eyes showed a trace of disgust, and he shouted extremely impatiently: "Get out of the way, don't howl here." ”
Hundreds of people outside the door were silent for a moment, and although the crying stopped, their bodies did not move in the slightest.
Someone quietly glanced at Sima Yuan, casting a look of distress and pleading.
Sima Yuan's eyes were calm, and he said slowly: "The matter you are waiting for will be discussed later, so let's step back first." ”
Hundreds
After glancing at each other, and just hesitating and hesitating, Sima Kunyu raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "What are you doing here, why don't you get out of here!"
After he glanced at Sima Yuan, he said coldly: "Go back and think about it behind closed doors, and wait for the clan to announce that you are waiting for punishment." ”
Hearing this, they immediately relieved their hearts, and immediately bowed heavily and retreated respectfully.
After those descendants left, Sima Kun said to Sima Yuanyan: "Why should the patriarch be so polite to them, corrupt my Sima clan's style, and also recognize the thief as his father and throw himself into the enemy camp, according to my wishes, all of them will be expelled from the family tree, and deprive them of their 'Sima' surname!"
Sima Yuan glanced at Sima Kun, and his originally indignant and angry expression immediately froze.
Sima Yuan lowered his gaze again, looked around at the two columns of figures, his tone was calm and calm, and he said slowly: "A family wants to prosper forever, and harmony is the primary premise. ”
No matter how big a mistake they may have made, if they sincerely repent, we will accept them. ”
"It's the same root, why is it too anxious?"
The words fell, and everyone fell silent.
Sima Yuan's eyes drooped, and he said softly: "I don't want my ancestor to see us and others killing each other when he is dying." ”
The people in the hall trembled when they heard this, and even Sima Kun and Sima Peng were not only silent.
He spoke in a calm tone and said softly: "His old man has worked hard for so many years, and how much effort he has put into the Sima family, how can he see us fratricidal?"
He raised his eyes, looked at the ancestral hall, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "Pass the order, on the day of the death of the old ancestor immortal, all the people of the Sima clan can return to mourn." ”
"As long as they return sincerely, they may be punished for their previous mistakes. ”
"After the punishment, there is no accountability in the clan. ”
After this edict was issued, everyone in the hall was shocked, especially Sima Kun Huo Ran turned his head and looked at Sima Yuan beside him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
Sima Yuan said meaningfully: "Knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great." ”
As these words fell, a pop sounded outside the conference hall.
There was a bang, like a heavy hammer ringing in everyone's hearts.
After a while, a crying voice suddenly sounded outside the house, and his voice was hoarse and choked, "The patriarch is magnanimous, and the sinner Sima Qi is thanking God!"
"Sinner Sima Hua thanks the patriarch for his grace!"
"Sinner Sima Yu thanked the patriarch for not killing!"
"The sinner Sima Hao kowtowed to the patriarch!"
Everyone in the room was complicated, and after a little silence, a grand, majestic, and strong torrent sounded:
"I'll meet the patriarch!"
The sound reached the sky, swept in all directions, and swept the southwest of Fuli.
On this day, Sima Yuan first took charge of the Great Cave of Heaven, and then collected the hearts of the Sima clan.
Inherit the position of the ninety-ninth patriarch of the Sima clan!
Ten months later, inside the ancestral hall.
On a chaise longue, a pale, skinny old man lay quietly on it.
On the side, the new patriarch Sima Yuan is the leader, supplemented by Sima Kun of the Torture Hall and Sima Peng of the Chuangong Hall
The Sima clan knelt in front of him.
Everyone wept silently.
The old man is none other than Sima Yi.
Sima Yi, who has supported the Sima clan for 9,000 years!
Looking at the patriarchs and ancestors of the Sima clan in the past dynasties, in addition to the first ancestors, only Sima Yi is worthy of the position of patriarch.
At this moment, it was the time of his death.
The old man's eye sockets were sunken, and his whole body was almost covered with skin and bones.
has already stepped into the underworld.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, muttering to himself, as if he was explaining what was going on.
Sima Yuanzheng pursed his lips to listen, nodding his head constantly.
Everyone cried silently, covering their mouths desperately, for fear of disturbing the ancestor.
Within the threshold, more than 100 people wept silently.
Outside the threshold, the descendants of the Detached clan fell to their knees, silent.
They're sorry for this old man!
Faintly, everyone seemed to hear an intermittent word: "Patriarch, they can't help it." ”
This old man, when he was dying, was still worried that Sima Yuan would settle accounts with those descendants of the clansmen.
He even did not hesitate to call this junior who was personally named Sima Yuan as the 'patriarch'.
His pity for his younger generations can be seen.
"Forgive them if you can. ”
As soon as these words came out, Sima Yuan nodded desperately, and whispered to the old man with tears and laughter: "Ancestor, rest assured, Yuan'er has already preached that as long as they are willing to repent sincerely, the clan is willing to be lenient." ”
A trace of relief slowly crossed the old man's eyes, and when he was about to close his eyes, Sima Yuan said softly: "Ancestor said, Ancestor, you are not inferior to him. When the beginning of the 'bow to the end, and then die'. ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he quietly swept a glimmer of light.
That's a hint of joy.
Also, a touch of pride and pride.
Then the old man closed his eyes peacefully.
Until there is no more faint breath coming out of the nose.
Sima Yuan's eyes were sad, and he blamed himself at that time.
His voice was low and hoarse, and he said slowly, "Send the ancestor!"
Immediately, a choked voice sounded: "Kneel down!"
Sima Kun and Sima Peng led hundreds of Sima clan people to their knees, and bowed in unison: "Congratulations to the ancestor!"
"Bye-bye!"
Everyone bowed down again, and the howls finally couldn't be suppressed: "Ancestor!"
"Three bows!"
Fuli Immortal Mountain, Taiqing Palace.
Many vague figures sat in a group, silent and solemn.
After a while, the hall seemed to shake slightly.
Someone whispered, "Gone."
No one answered, and there was silence.
After a while, a hoarse voice came out from the seat: "Tell the mountain gate up and down, quit killing, quitting war, and quitting meat for nine days!"
"Violators: Immediately cut off !!"
Everyone's head.
The six caves and one palace jointly issued an edict, and Fuli Immortal Mountain shook.
Up and down the mountain gate, mourning one person.
Sima Yi.
