The parties are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Long Teng's reminder, for Long Dazhuang, who was in a puzzle, was like the helmsman of the ship, who lost his direction, sailing aimlessly in the dark sea, and suddenly found a lighthouse in the distance, emitting a glimmer of light.
Long Dazhuang talked about his troubles with his family, got the care of the children, and after finding his way, the first ray of dawn, the irritable mood got better. After getting inspiration, Long Dazhuang did not rush to work, nor did he go to rest, but sat in the living room, sorting out his thoughts. Knowing that his father was thinking about the sky, Long Teng and Long Qian returned to their room and began to cultivate, leaving only Long Teng's mother to accompany them.
The next day, Long Dazhuang did not accompany his family, and after getting up, he went directly back to work to find out the list of witness seats and related materials of the previous sessions of the family ancestor worship conference, and compared the list to find out the differences, and on the other hand, studied the materials to determine the principle of selection. When Long Dazhuang compared the lists, he found that the selection principles of several lists that seemed to be unrelated were basically the same. Through research, there is a strict definition of the categories of people he divides into each ancestor worship ceremony, the proportion and number of people who attend. Those who have participated in a ancestor worship ceremony, and almost never participated in the ancestor worship ceremony in the future, unless those who are famous for a while, are recognized by the world as the contemporary leader of the Long family, or occupy the main position in the Long family, and have absolute authority among the clansmen, have participated in many ancestor worship ceremonies. After repeated comparisons and pondering, Long Dazhuang first determined the quota allocation.
Start with the family's hostile forces, the Dragon family's allies, partners, and people who have no relationship with the family, and draw up a list. Then determine the list of affiliated families, these families, which seem to be quite different from the strength of the family, are actually the most stable partners of the family, among them, some provide funds for the family, some provide intelligence for the family, some provide science and technology for the family, and some provide materials for the family. But these families all have one thing in common, they do not have strong force and need the protection of the Long family. Of course, on some specific occasions, the dragon family will take care of them accordingly. The ancestor worship ceremony, the most important event of the family, is invited every time, and the proportion of attendees is the highest, so it is not troublesome to determine. The rest of the Long family, called Long Dazhuang, has the most headache, due to the large number of people, the number of witnesses is limited, and it is the most difficult to determine. According to past experience, repeated participation, remove a batch, two people representing the same branch of the force, return to the branch to determine the candidate again, so, several conditions are restricted, Long Dazhuang was stunned to find that there are still a few places left in his hand, and there is no allocation. Long Dazhuang finally understood that these places were reserved for the representative figures of the Long family in this period, and Long Dazhuang found out the list of repeated participants and selected a few people. Long Dazhuang handed over the proposed list and selection principles to the chairman of the Ancestor Worship Preparatory Committee. After the president read it, the list covered each category of people, determined the proportion, allocated seats, and was very satisfied. The list passed, Long Dazhuang's body and mood relaxed, and the troubles that had plagued him for many days finally disappeared at this moment.
Long Dazhuang did not participate, and after handing in the list of witness seats and the proposed principles, and getting the approval of the president, he took leave from the president and went home to rest because he was too tired mentally and physically tired.
Long Teng came back, and for the first time, he didn't see Huang Xueli. The next morning, when I came back from cultivation, I saw that there was still only the old lady sitting in the living room, and asked curiously, "Where did Huang Xueli go?"
Long Qian said with a smile: "I didn't hear you mention it yesterday, I thought you forgot about her." “
Long Teng said: "Yesterday I was thinking about helping my father. “
Long Qian said with a smile: "Huang Xueli has returned to Phoenix Star, and when she saw you and me reunited with her parents, she missed her parents." “
Long Teng said: "So that's the case, then you should go home early and come to Gu Longxing." “
Long Qian said: "Our Long family held a ceremony to worship ancestors, which is also a big event in the Rota Empire, and she came to take a look out of curiosity. Long Teng didn't ask his sister either, he didn't know about Huang Xueli. Huang Xueli went home in such a hurry, not because she was homesick, but because it was related to the ancestral pavilion, and because the purpose of coming to Gulongxing had been achieved, so go back and make a difference.
Long Qian looked at Long Teng and said, "When Huang Xueli was leaving, asked me to ask you, will you be good to her in the future?"
Long Teng was a little confused, and said: "Why didn't he ask me directly, and asked the old lady to ask, it's really interesting." Besides, how can I be good to her in the future? Long Qian didn't speak, just looked at her brother, she didn't know why Huang Xueli would ask such a question.
Long Teng stayed at home for ten days, and completed it on time every day, after the cultivation task given to him by the ancestral pavilion master, the rest of the time, he either accompanied his father, tasted fragrant tea, and learned about family affairs, or gathered around his mother, chatting while learning cooking and cooking skills, and most of the time, he still liked to follow his sister to visit the elder sister's friends and girlfriends, listen to them chat, and discuss some issues. During this period, the relationship between Long Teng and Long Yue became better and better, although Long Yue was silent, through this period of communication, he became the most important family and friend in Long Teng's life. Long Teng's performance during this time and when he went home, in the eyes of Long Teng's parents, Long Teng seemed to have grown up overnight, and he no longer depended on them, but cared about them, which made Long Teng's parents very surprised at the same time, and they were also more comforted and down-to-earth.
The ten-day holiday ended quickly, and Long Teng didn't want to go back on the last day like last time, but came to the place where the Ancestral Pavilion Master cultivated one day earlier. Long Teng was able to come back early, and after the Ancestral Pavilion Lord saw Long Teng, he was very happy in his heart and asked, "What do you gain when you go home?"
Long Teng did not hide it, and told the ancestral pavilion master truthfully about the things after returning home, and after hearing it, the ancestral pavilion master was very satisfied with Long Teng's state, and said to Long Teng: "Ten days, only one friend, that is far from enough, people are social animals, and they must make more friends in the future." ”
Since returning to the headquarters building, Long Teng has rarely had the opportunity to get along with his peers, and now he has a friend, which is very important to Long Teng. After listening to the words of the Ancestral Pavilion Master, Long Teng agreed very much and said, "I will keep it in mind. “
The Ancestral Pavilion Master ignored Long Teng's expression and thoughts, and asked, "The Ancestor Worship Ceremony is about to be held, how much do you know about the Ancestor Worship Ceremony?"
Long Teng asked his mother last time he went home, and this time he went home, and he also learned a lot from his father, and heard the owner of the ancestral pavilion ask himself about the ancestor worship ceremony, Long Teng replied: "The ancestor worship ceremony, once every 300 years, is held on the top of the ancient dragon peak located in the ancestral pavilion, where there is a special ancestral hall for worshiping the ancestors of the family, the ancestral statue, and the ancestor worship platform where the ancestor worship ceremony is held. ”
The Ancestral Pavilion Master continued to ask, "What's in the Ancestral Palace?"
Long Teng replied: "The ancestral hall enshrines the statues of the three gods of war that appeared in the family, the portraits of hundreds of clansmen, and the three treasures of the family. ”
The Ancestral Pavilion Master continued to ask, "Who and what treasures are eligible to enter the Ancestral Hall?"
Long Teng replied: "Three treasures, left by the three gods of war in the family, it is said that they contain the secret book of "Ancient Dragon Decision", the martial arts of the three ancestors who became famous, and the martial arts insights. Eligible to leave a name in the ancestral hall for future generations to worship, except for the three ancestors of the god of war. The others are all people who have made great contributions and influence to the Long family in the tens of thousands of years of the family and at different times. The Ancestral Hall enshrines, including eight Martial Saint-level family masters, as well as various sect masters, elders, and more than a dozen extremely powerful Super Martial Saints, all of whom are famous, famous, and influential figures in the family. ”
After hearing this, the Ancestral Pavilion Master did not express his opinion, but continued to ask, "What do you think of our family's history and current situation?"
Long Teng hesitated a little, he didn't understand why the Ancestral Pavilion Master would ask this question. But he still replied: "After tens of thousands of years of development, the descendants of our Long family are almost everywhere in human society, and the family rules of the Long family stipulate that as long as the clansmen who have cultivated to the realm of martial saint level can leave the family and start their own household after serving the family for a hundred years." Under such family rules, the branches of the Long family are very large, and so far, there are hundreds of them, and almost all the known galaxies in human society have the shadow of the family. Although the family has a large branch, in general, there are only forty-nine branches. The first head of the family, that is, the first god of war in our family, established the nine veins of the Long family, which are Zongmen, Qianmen, Kunmen, Xunmen, Zhenmen, Kanmen, Limen, Genmen and Duimen. Among them, the sect inherits the family heads of the previous dynasties, and the other eight sects set up the Dragon Martial Society, and each door elects an elder to serve as the executive elder of the Dragon Martial Arts Association to assist the head of the family in managing and coordinating family affairs, which is also the sect system that our family has implemented for tens of thousands of years and has not changed. ”
Speaking of this, Long Teng paused, found that the ancestral pavilion master did not speak, and continued: "With the development and growth of the family, the population has grown, there are many branches, the original nine gates, the scale is relatively small, before the second god of war appeared in the family, there were already many large branches within the family, in order to meet the development needs of the family, the second god of war, the then head of the family and the executive elder of the Dragon Martial Society, after consultation, four additional doors were added, namely the wind gate, the rain gate, the thunder gate and the electric gate, and the dragon martial society added four standing elder seats at the same time. After more than 20,000 years, the third god of war appeared in the family, and on the basis of the original twelve gates, another thirty-six doors were added, which evolved into the current forty-nine gates. At the same time, another family rule of the family has also evolved, 'As long as the cultivation reaches the realm of the God of War, you have the right to add new branches and enter the Dragon Martial Society.' 'Change the pattern of the family. I think it's an incentive for future generations in the family. For some reason, every God of War ancestor has not changed the inheritance system of the sect. ”
After hearing this, the Ancestral Pavilion Master said, "It's good that you can understand this. What do you think of the current situation of the Long family?"
Long Teng replied simply: "I know too little to draw conclusions easily. ”
The Ancestral Pavilion Lord nodded with a smile and asked, "Do you think you have the ability to change the pattern of the clan?"
Long Teng replied: "It's man-made. ”
