In the courtyard of the Zhou family, the family servants have been very busy these days, and many relatives and friends of the Zhou family have also come from other places one after another.

Every five years, the Zhou family will launch a grand sacrifice to their ancestors. In the past few days, Master Zhou went to Taiping Town to do good deeds, although the weather was hot, but it did not let Master Zhou have any neglect.

It's Zhou Qing, who has lived a lot more leisurely in these days.

This kind of priestly ceremony, according to the rules of the Zhou family, he can't participate in it. But because his grandfather Zhou Kun brought a glorious history to the family, he was qualified to go to the tomb of the ancestors together.

The sky was a little gloomy today, but the priesthood had never been postponed.

The sun had just risen, and many relatives and friends had already gathered in the Zhou family's compound. Zhou Qing received a set of clean clothes, and then walked into the team.

When the Taoist priest held the rooster in front, the sound of gongs and drums and suona sounded, the gate of the Zhou family opened, and the mighty team stepped out of the door.

Master Zhou was naturally the one who led the family and took Zhou Qing behind the Taoist priest. There are no female dependents here, but even if the baby is still in her arms, she must go to the ancestral land to worship.

The group walked for most of the day, climbed several small hills, and finally came to a stop outside the small village near the mountains and rivers.

The ancestral hall of the Zhou family is located here, and behind the ancestral hall is the mausoleum of the ancestors of the Zhou family. It can be buried in the location of the ancestral grave, and very few people in the family can do it.

The former Zhou family can be regarded as everyone within a radius of 100 miles. Walked out of this small village, experienced decades of glory, and then declined, and after Zhou Kun became a chivalrous man, there was a gradual recovery.

Now the Zhou family looks powerful, but in fact, it is only in the small Taiping Town.

Zhou Qing squatted under the small tree to enjoy the shade, watching the children of the clan walk into the ancestral hall to worship, and he was a little envious in his heart.

"Zhou Qing, when the people of your family are finished, it will be your turn to split up. ”

Uncle Chen walked over and patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder.

"Can I really go in?"

"Since there is a difference between a clan and a separate family, of course the ancestral hall will also have a place for the people who are separated to worship. ”

After Zhou Qing heard this, a lot of joy immediately appeared on his face. Although he was still young at that time, he didn't have many memories of his grandfather. His grandfather never deliberately passed on any martial arts to him, but he patiently taught Zhou Qing how to fly kites and catch crickets.

This was the happiest time for Zhou Qing, but unfortunately Zhou Kun died too suddenly, because the weather was also hot at that time, so he was buried in a hurry.

His father did not come that day, and until now, his father has not returned.

"Zhou Qing, what are you doing there, you haven't come to worship your grandfather!"

Zhou Tong shouted at Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing answered, and then hurriedly ran over.

In addition to Zhou Qing, there are two other people who have split up the family, but these two are adults, and Zhou Qing does not know each other. They knelt at the door early, and the people of the sect family walked past them one after another.

"Get on your knees!"

Zhou Tong shouted at Zhou Qing again.

"Why kneel?"

Zhou Qing had doubts in his eyes, although he was still young, he understood the truth that men had gold under their knees.

"Because you are a separate family, you look at your two uncles, they both knelt down early, are you more faceless than them?"

Zhou Tong pressed down on Zhou Qing's shoulder with one hand, but Zhou Qing's body shook slightly, shaking his fat big hand away in an instant.

"Good guy, it's really hiding martial arts. ！”

Zhou Tong gasped for breath in his nostrils, he absolutely didn't believe that Zhou Qing had learned his skills in just a few days.

"If you don't want to kneel, it's okay, hand over the secret tips left by the third master, you can be regarded as a contribution to the family. In this way, it is natural that people from the same family can stand and worship the ancestors of the separated family. ”

"I didn't hide my martial arts, I learned them from others. Since I am going to worship the ancestors, I have to be upright, and I will only kneel under the ancestors' spiritual thrones and tombstones.

Why do I kneel at the door because I am a separater? Could it be that my grandfather and my father did the same to worship their ancestors back then?"

Zhou Qing stood upright, and there was no ambiguity between his words.

On weekdays, if it's a little cold eyes from the family, forget it. However, on such an important day, if he was asked to kneel and walk into the ancestral hall, he would definitely not back down half a step!

"You!"

Zhou Tong raised his palm, his face was flushed, and from Zhou Qing's mold, he seemed to see Zhou Buwu's shadow. The martial idiot who was ridiculed by them since he was a child and didn't have any talent for martial arts, the waste who practiced martial arts tirelessly every day, but was about thirty years old, and had no achievements.

"Rules are rules! Zhou Qing, what do you think you are! Even if you are the grandson of the third master, you can act against the will of our ancestors of the Zhou family.

It must be that Daddy has favored you a few times, making you more and more arrogant now, let me teach you a good lesson today, and know how you should be a good offspring in front of your ancestors!"

Zhou Yi frowned, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He clenched his fists and made a clicking sound, although he was only a teenager, but in terms of momentum, he was not weaker than an adult at all.

"Now kneel for me, and I'll let you walk back!"

"I don't kneel!"

Zhou Qing turned his face sideways, and the corners of his eyes skimmed the uncles of the separated family, these two uncles had never said a word from the beginning. Because they know that the Zong family is powerful, and only by bowing their heads can they better live in Taiping County.

"Then you don't blame me for being heavy!"

Zhou Yi swung his fist, and the fist continued to expand in Zhou Qing's pupils, until the moment he was about to touch Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing actually raised his hands and turned his arms, lifting Zhou Yi's entire body.

In this process, Zhou Qing did not move at all!

"Hmm!"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Hong's eyes also flashed with a different color. Almost all the people present saw this scene. Zhou Qing, who had never learned martial arts, actually caught Zhou Yi's punch.

It would be understandable if he had defeated Zhou Hong before, but who Zhou Qing was, that was a genius valued by the elders of the Ling Xiao faction, something that had never happened in the entire Taiping County for decades.

Not surprisingly, Zhou Yi's future achievements will inevitably surpass his two elder brothers. Although he may not be able to reach the height of Zhou Kun's hero, he will definitely become one of the peak masters in Tianyun Kingdom.

"Yi'er!"

Master Zhou finally heard the noise and came to the door of the ancestral hall.

When Zhou Yi saw his father appear, he immediately restrained his momentum. But his eyes were still staring at Zhou Qing, that look, as if he wanted to tear Zhou Qing apart immediately.

"What day is today, the two of you are actually making a lot of noise outside the ancestral hall!

Lao Chen, you come over and tell them, what punishment should be given for this kind of thing!"

Master Zhou's expression had never been so serious, even Zhou Yi was so frightened by this reprimand that he lowered his head.

"Sir, according to the house rules. The little young master will go back and face the wall for three days, and Zhou Qing will be whipped thirty times!"

"I'm going to punish them now! Today, Zhou Yi copied scriptures for the ancestors in the ancestral hall for a day, and Zhou Qing was whipped twenty times! You go and arrange people, the two of them are so disregarded by the family rules, they will definitely not be able to have the slightest mercy. ”

Master Zhou snorted coldly, shook his hand and walked away from the ancestral hall. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the punishment of Zhou Yi and Zhou Qing would be even more terrifying.

"Little master, I'm sorry. ”

Uncle Chen took Zhou Yi to the ancestral hall, and then prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Zhou Yi. And Zhou Qing asked the two servants to take it away.

When he reached the river, he was dropped under a dead locust tree, and the servant sneered, and then received a whip from the village to whip the cattle.

He sprayed a mouthful of salt water on the whip and slapped it fiercely on Zhou Qing's back.

Zhou Qing clenched his teeth, he didn't cry out because of the pain. Looking at those people from the clan family, going back and forth in the ancestral hall, and the people who separated the family were as lowly as domestic animals, he began to feel that Master Zhou was actually wrong.

He definitely didn't regret that he was punished today for not kneeling. On the contrary, he was glad that he did not kneel, he did not become one of those who divided the family, abandoning his dignity, just to survive under the clan.

The Taoist priest shook the bell in his hand, and the song of lamentation for the dead lingered on the dim earth, and the paper money in the sky flew and circled in the wind unscrupulously, and one of them fell to Zhou Qing's feet, and Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing.

"Stinky boy, what are you laughing at? Could it be that Lao Tzu hit you and itchy?"

When the servant heard Zhou Qing's laughter, he couldn't help but twitch a little harder.

"I want to learn martial arts!"

Zhou Qing's bound hands clenched instantly, and a force poured out like a tide from nowhere, and at this moment, he couldn't feel the pain coming from behind.

At this moment, on the edge of the river, the one-eyed old man pacing with a young girl suddenly stopped, his eyes froze, and then he turned his gaze to a dead old locust tree......
