According to the rules of the Song family, if the son of the head of the main lineage meets the minimum standards for the successor head of the family in terms of formation, cultivation, etc., he will directly obtain the qualification of the heir.

When the head of the family reaches the age of resignation, a clan meeting needs to be convened, and if the majority of the elders votes at that time, the throne can be directly passed to the heir, and the whole clan and the outside world will be notified of the birth of the new head of the Song family.

The same rules of the clan are that if the son of the head of the main line does not meet the standard or has no children under his knees, the heirs of each branch can participate in the open election for the head of the family.

Two years before the resignation of the current head of the family, each of them will gather forces from inside and outside the clan to support him for a period of two years, and when the deadline is reached, the head of the family and the council of elders will jointly select whoever receives the most support will be the next head of the family.

Song Zhe was defeated in the end because the formation was not up to standard, and the forces he attracted were on par with Song Zhe.

At that time, the head of the family Song Yan was over forty years old, and he was only a few dozen years away from Yijiazi, and Song Zhe was nearly fifty years old, even if he married a wife and had children immediately, he would not be able to catch up with the next change of head of the family, and Song Ling still had two sons and a daughter under his knees.

So after Song Zhe took over the city of vain death, he began to secretly cultivate his own ghost forces, and Du Jing, who was attracted when he was competing for the head of the family before, naturally participated in it and became Song Zhe's first important chess piece.

After Song Zhe made a heavy promise to him, Du Jing resigned from his previous position as a good company, and disappeared from the outside world, but in fact, he secretly entered the city of vain death, and did not hesitate to fall into the ghost road by himself, and helped Song Zhe complete the layout of the plan here.

Then Song Zhe extended his claws to his brother Song Zhen in the same vein!

Although Song Zhen and Song Zhe are compatriots, they are born with poor qualifications, the progress of cultivation is slow, and the formation is even more superficial, so as soon as they become adults, they were sent by the family to garrison in remote places, and rarely returned to the Song family, resulting in almost no one in the clan being familiar with them, and even very few people knew about them.

Song Zhen is honest and mediocre, but the woman's popularity is not bad, she has already married early, and has two daughters and a son.

Song Zhen saw that the order was true, and it was signed by her own eldest brother, even if she packed up and took her wife and children to return to her family, but when she went to the periphery of Xudu, she received a private letter from her eldest brother, saying that she had not seen each other for a long time, and she missed it very much, and sent someone to pick up her family to meet in the city of vain first.

After reading the letter, Song Zhen was a little puzzled, but the eldest brother wrote the letter here, and he was also very concerned about it, so he didn't suspect anything else, so he followed the person who sent the letter and went to the agreed place to meet.

But as soon as Fang entered the city of vain death, he was attacked by a large number of ghost people, Song Zhen's cultivation was not high, and he looked forward and backward, and finally he was outnumbered, and he was cruelly eaten by the ghost people!

And Song Zhe, who was "late for rescue", saw his brother's tragic death, crying out with grief, and slaughtered all the ghosts and Taoists in anger, saving Song Hao's wife and children, and avenging his brother with his own hands.

Song Zhen was nearly twenty years younger than Song Zhe, his wife Fang was less than thirty, the two twin daughters were only eight or nine years old, and the youngest son was only four years old.

Song Zhe, who left the city of vain death, did not take the Fang family and his children back to the Song family, but arranged them in a private house of his own in the northern district of the inner city, and also arranged guards outside the house, nominally to protect their safety, but in fact to restrict their access, and often visited them on the pretext of visiting.

Song Zhen is blunt, but Fang is not stupid, he always feels that something is wrong, on the surface, he is false and wronged, pretending to be grateful to Song Zhe for saving his life and avenging his husband, and also admitting his virtue of caring for orphans and widows, but in fact, he is secretly wary of him, and tries to get out of his control.

However, how could Song Zhe do what he wanted, after discovering his actions, he simply tore off the mask of hypocrisy, drank a few more drinks when he visited one day, pretended to stay drunk overnight, and took advantage of his lack of drugs to stain it that night.

Afterwards, Song Zhe not only did not hide the matter, but made it public, saying that the Fang family had a personal relationship with him in the early years, and his children were also his own children, but he was not given a name, so he just took this opportunity to do the matter, and he also counted a wish.

In private, the other party's coercion and temptation made him dare not confide the truth, and promised not to use force against him in the future, give him glory and wealth, and raise his children Yunyun wholeheartedly.

Who would have expected that after Song Zhe welcomed the Fang family with the gift of his wife, he actually fulfilled his promise, and the other party took good care of him.

Over time, the children and Song Zhe have long been as close as their biological fathers, and the Fang family has gradually let down their guard, although they often miss their deceased husbands, but now their children have no worries about the future, even if they are unwilling to accept this "destination", they can only accept their fate.

In addition to Song Zhe's "pity for his wife and son", the arrangement of the city of vain death was gradually completed, during which Song Zhe used his power to manipulate the family to issue compulsory tasks, and the young heirs of the Song family entered the city of vain death in two batches, including the two sons of the head of the family, Song Yan.

Then arranged for Du Jing to take action from the inside, and secretly got rid of the two sons of the head of the family in the form of an accident and could not be rescued, and sent someone to inform the wife of the head of the house, saying that it was suspected that his son had been killed in the city of vain death, and asked him to go and identify him.

Song Yan's wife, Xu, as the mother of the Song family, lives in a simple place on weekdays, and it is difficult to invite her to come forward for ordinary things, but it is the so-called mother-son connection, Xu's sudden hearing of the bad news was in a trance, and he couldn't take care of it for a while, so he hurriedly followed the person who reported the news, and this time, naturally there was no return.

Song Zhe knows that Song Ling's husband and wife are sincere and sincere, even if the son and wife are mourned, Song Ling will never remarry in order to continue the string, so he will have this plan, and even if the family forces him to continue the string, whether he can give birth to a son or not, in terms of age, he can't catch up with the replacement of the head of the family, and he can't pose a threat to "his son".

Even if Song Zhe was severely punished by the family for mismanagement and negligence in this matter, and was even forced to hand over some real power in his hands, he didn't care, as long as the dead city was still in his hands, nothing else mattered.

In this way, the matter gradually subsided, and the head of the family, Song Yan, really did not marry him again.

In the eyes of outsiders, Song Zhe is still in addition to his duties in the clan every day, and the rest of the time is at home to serve his wife and children, and slowly, those public opinions that have questioned his behavior have also disappeared, and the family has stopped investigating this matter.

As Song Zhe continued to grow up, the reality of his mediocre qualifications became more and more obvious day by day, and Song Zhe's face became more and more ugly day by day, although his comprehension was acceptable, his cultivation speed was not fast, and his cultivation was also slow to improve, but his talent in the formation was extraordinary!

When he was 20 years old, Song Zhe's knowledge of the formation had been exhausted, and after that, Song Zhe could only study and ponder on his own, and he could no longer borrow any strength from his "father."

However, there were only a few years left before the day of the replacement of the head of the family, even if Song Wei had outstanding formations, but his cultivation was too low, and the odds of winning were not great.
