Chapter 44 Returning to the clan and receiving the guilt
"Fox Xinyue, I have to go back to the clan and send the Zhenshan Bow back. You're going to be cultivating here for a while now, right?"
Ji Wen came out for a few days, and finally decided to go home, just like a runaway child, and finally wanted to return home, at this moment his heart was worried and frightened, in the past, he would not be afraid to go home for more than ten days, but now he has destroyed the Zhenshan Bow, so that his way home has increased unpredictable variables.
Especially that guy Ji Kun, he will definitely come to find trouble, if he brings Fox Xinyue back openly, it will be nothing more than giving the other party another reason to attack him.
Although Fox Xinyue was very unwilling, it also knew that its future fate might have been intertwined with Ji Wen's fate, so it had no choice but to nod and divel into the small world of blood ginseng to cultivate.
......
Speaking of which, the Xiahou clan is also very anxious to find Xi Wenming now, not because he is worried about his life, but because he took away the treasure of the clan and has not returned for a long time.
The treasure of the town clan is related to the life and death of the clan, not every clan in the great wilderness is qualified to have the treasure of the town clan, many small clans can't keep it even if they get the magic weapon, and they will be wiped out overnight, and the vendetta between the human races is so direct, and the cruelty is even more than the beast war in nature.
Every treasure of the town clan is the common property of the clan, no one can borrow it alone, it must be allowed by the patriarch or other leaders, and it can only be activated with the approval of the clan elders, and no one has ever dared to steal the magic weapon of the town clan, let alone go for more than ten days.
To put it more seriously, the Xiahou clan can do without the young patriarch Xi Wenming, but it must not do without the Zhenshan Bow, which is the key to the continuation of the clan.
Moreover, who doesn't know that Ji Wenming's identity as the young patriarch is just a joke, and who doesn't know that Kun's son is a waste? After many years of cultivation, he has not even broken through the day after tomorrow, and now he is fourteen or fifteen years old, and even the seven or eight-year-old children in the clan can't compare.
However, the strategic weapon of the Zhenshan Bow is too important, in order to recover the Zhenshan Bow, the acting patriarch Ji He sent countless clansmen into the mountains to look for Ji Wenming, and even sent people to find the old man of the Zhongshan clan who was brought back by Wen Ming, wanting to learn from him the whereabouts of Xi Wenming. It's a pity that the old man didn't know when he disappeared.
In the midst of the anxiety and anxiety of the whole family, Ji Wenming returned.
His clothes were tattered, his face was dusty, and he had no long body, except for the Zhenshan bow wrapped in leaves and carried on his back, looking embarrassed and depressed.
The head of the defense, Ji Xiang, was the first to discover the traces of Ji Wenming, and looked at the young patriarch who was fleeing from the famine, and he said with a smile: "Wenming? Are you back? How do you feel about hunting with the Zhenshan bow? Do you have any gains? Don't forget to ask the fourth uncle to open the meat?"
Ji Wenming ignored Ji Xiang's ridicule and went straight into the city.
Ji Xiang said viciously to his subordinates: "Little rabbit cub, he is dejected, he must have caused another big disaster, you go, follow him, accompany him to the ancestral hall, don't let him run away!"
Several guards from the Acquired Sevenfold Realm left the defense team and followed behind Ji Wenming, tracking and monitoring along the road.
These people knew the identity of Ji Wenming, but they still sarcastically said: "Yo, young patriarch, can you still use the Zhenshan bow? With your strength, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pull the bowstring! I really don't know what you are doing with it on your back to Chongshan? This bow is very heavy, do you want me to help you carry it for a while?"
Ji Wenming was even more lazy to pay attention to these nobodies, and came all the way to the ancestral hall.
The news of the return of the young patriarch soon spread throughout the tribe, and the major leaders rushed to the ancestral hall one after another, first, everyone was very concerned about the gains and losses of the Zhenshan bow, and on the other hand, they also wanted to know what this kid who had not even reached the acquired realm did when he stole the magic weapon and went to Chongshan to do it? Could it really be that he went hunting?
Soon, the outside of the ancestral hall was crowded with the leaders of the clan, and He sat in the center as the acting patriarch, and on his left hand was Ji Mu who was in charge of grazing, Miao Miao, who was in charge of farming, Ji Xing, who was in charge of punishment, and who was in charge of commerce, and on his right hand sat Ji Xiang, who was in charge of defense, Ji Kui, who was in charge of hunting teams, Ji Kun, who was in charge of military affairs, and Ji Biao, who was in charge of slaves.
Ji He looked at Ji Wenming with concern, all four limbs, no illness or injury, and sighed: "There is a great witch sacrifice!"
The status of the Great Witch Festival is revered, even above the patriarch, because he can communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and he is the spokesperson of the gods himself.
The patriarch gave an order, and the servants of the natural and organic spirits trotted all the way to invite the Great Witch Sacrifice, half a cup of tea, and the Great Witch Priest of the Xiahou Clan came to the outside of the ancestral hall slowly, he was in a black robe, his face was full of wrinkles, serious and detached, with a dragon-headed cane in his hand, he walked to the center of the playground step by step, did not look at anyone, only stared at Ji Wenming who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly smiled, and said: "Wenming, you are finally willing to come back?
Ji Wenming kowtowed and said: "Great Witch Festival, I didn't go out this time to play, there was a congenital seven-fold demon beast Nanshan Giant Tiger in Chongshan, which had to kill and devour hundreds of living beings every day, and at the critical moment, I didn't have time to say more, so I had to invite the treasure of the Zhen clan from the ancestral hall Zhenshan Bow and go to kill the demon beast...... Now I am fortunate to have returned from my life!"
Ji Dao is the only person in the clan who is close to Ji Wenming, and he does not think that he can't cultivate, but he is extra protective of this little grandson, and now seeing that Ji Wen's life is intact, he also put down a stone in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's good to have enough fun, and he actually made such a big thing, he really deserves to be the son of Kun!"
Seeing that the two of them were chatting as if no one was around, Ji He couldn't help coughing twice, got up and reminded: "Great Witch Sacrifice, Ji Wen's safe return may not be a good thing, shouldn't we think about it in the long run, and have a good understanding of his behavior after stealing the bow, so that we can be held accountable and punished?"
Ji Dao slowly walked to the seat next to Ji He, and said loudly: "What is the punishment? In order to avoid the destruction of the souls, the young patriarch personally went out to kill the demon beast, this is a great achievement, and it should be rewarded!"
Although Ji Wenming was grateful to Ji Dao for his careful maintenance, he was still ashamed at the moment, and said loudly: "Great Witch Sacrifice, leaders, although I killed the demon beast, I also accidentally damaged the treasure of the Zhen clan during the fight, so I am willing to be punished!"
Ji Dao had just made it to the rattan chair, and when he heard this, he was shocked, stood up suddenly, and said, "Damaged the treasure of the Zhen Clan? That is an innate magic weapon, in fact, you can damage it! Don't talk nonsense!"
Ji Wenming took out the Zhenshan Bow wrapped in large-leaved plants from behind him, carefully placed it on the ground, opened the package, and whispered, "It's really broken!"
The leaders of the clans never thought that Ji Wenming would be able to return safely, but he damaged the treasure of the Zhen clan, and they all looked at each other and didn't know what to do, even Ji He was shocked, and looked at the Zhenshan bow that had broken the bowstring with a stammering mouth, and said in disbelief after a while: "This ...... You broke it with your own hands?"
Seeing that there was going to be an accident, Ji Dao hurriedly said: "Where are the guards, clear the field quickly, this matter involves secrets in the clan, except for the leaders, everyone else should avoid it!"
A group of guards stepped out and cleared everyone present, leaving only a few leaders.
Ji Dao spoke again and said: "Everyone, the treasure of the Zhen clan is damaged, this is a big deal, we should enter the ancestral hall and report this matter in front of our ancestors and ancestors!"
He listened to his suggestion and nodded and said, "What the Great Witch Priest said is very true, everyone, then let's change places!"
The ancestral hall is in front of you, the front hall is dedicated to ancestors, and the back hall is dedicated to the sacred relics of the town clan.
Everyone activated the bamboo forest formation, walked into the ancestral hall one after another, and discussed how to deal with Xi Wenming.
There were no seats in the ancestral hall, and everyone could only stand in front of the ancestors, and they stood in the ancestral hall according to their positions, one by one, their thoughts uncertain, looking left and right, waiting for someone to express their opinions.
Ji Kun's injuries were just right, he glanced at Ji Wenming viciously, and said: "Stealing a bow and escaping should be punished as a crime of treason, and destroying the treasure of the town clan should be sentenced to death!
Ji Xiang smiled strangely and said: "It's not proper, Kun Nai Patriarch, he has contributed a lot to the Xia Hou clan, although Ji Wen's life is not taken by himself, but he also returned in person, although the treasure of the Zhen clan is damaged, he also killed the innate demon beast and protected the lives of the clansmen! It should be punished lightly, I suggest that he be deprived of his identity and expelled from the clan!"
Everyone originally thought that Ji Xiang wanted to protect Ji Wen's life, but when they heard his last words, they immediately knew it.
