The deacons bowed down and saluted Zhang Tie before leaving. When leaving, they all glanced at Zhang Tie, with deep surprise and a bit of awe in their eyes. As a way to take care of the ancestral hall on Yiyang Mountain, The main hall and these deacons who are dispatched by the elders of the family, what is the purpose of all this in front of the natural way.
"Elder Moon, what are you doing? Is there any celebration going on here?" Zhang Tie asked strangely.
"Of course we are going to hold a celebration. Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?" Elder Moon smiled in a good mood.
"Ah, is this a celebration for me?"
"nature!"
"Isn't this... too grand?" Zhang Tie glanced around, looking at the busy deacons and disciples, as well as the auspicious cloud gold bricks spread on the ground, and the prayer flags hanging in the main hall. This kind of scene is really too big. Last night, several elders said that there would be a formal ceremony to celebrate the birth of another knight in Huaiyuantang. He thought that the ceremony was just for the sake of it, but he didn't expect it to be possible. Such a big scene.
"The Wheel-turning Ceremony is a major family event, so there is no room for carelessness!" Elder Mun En said seriously.
"The Wheel-turning Ceremony?"
"Becoming a knight, condensing chakra, the chakra is always rotating, and the martial arts is strong. The rotating knight chakra is not only related to you, but also related to the rise and fall of the fate of the entire Huaiyuantang and the entire family. Therefore, becoming a knight is There needs to be a wheel-turning ceremony to celebrate and demonstrate the majesty of the knights!" Speaking of this, Elder Moon used eyes full of nostalgia and deep emotion. Scanning the entire hall, his voice also became lower, "The last time the wheel-turning ceremony was held here was 68 years ago. Elder Mu Yu and Elder Mu An advanced to knights. At that time, Elder Mu Yu and Elder Mu An were known as knights before they advanced. The two knights from Huaiyuan were astonishingly talented and beautiful. The two of them advanced to become knights together within three years. At that time in our Huaiyuan Hall's wheel-turning ceremony, the two knights appeared in a scene that was unparalleled and shocked the entire Hawaiian subcontinent. In the Jinyun Kingdom, Huaiyuantang's prestige temporarily surpassed that of the Lan family, Ou family, and Tantai family. With the other five major families of the Wang family and Li family, Huaiyuantang's reputation was at its peak, and every descendant of Huaiyuantang was deeply proud. Since then, Huaiyuantang has The hall, a ritual utensil for the wheel-turning ceremony, is cleaned and inspected by the family deacons every day, month, and year. Every descendant of Huaiyuantang is looking forward to when the time will come again when the family’s preparations for the wheel-turning ceremony can be brought back. The ritual vessels were brought out again, but this time it took 68 years..."
"68 years!" Zhang Tie, who was affected by Elder Moon's tone, also sighed. Unexpectedly, no one in the entire Huaiyuantang became a knight in 68 years. This also highlighted the difficulty of becoming a knight from another aspect.
"Family affairs. Only battles and sacrifices. This Wheel-turning Ceremony is an important event. In Taixia, there is such a peerless wealthy family that the entire family can hold a Wheel-turning Ceremony every ten years or so. Every time the wheel is turned, The grand ceremony also pushed the family's cohesion and influence to a new level. It was so powerful that people could only look up to it. When Huaiyuantang went to Taixia, a wheel-turning ceremony could still be held in this ancestral hall. This is exactly what happened. This is a good sign that my Huaiyuantang will prosper!"
"When will the wheel-turning ceremony be held?"
"November 3rd, that is an auspicious day!" Elder Moon replied, "There is no room for sloppiness in this Wheel-turning Ceremony. It takes more than half a month to prepare all the matters at Huaiyuantang, plus Guangfa It takes more than a month for invitations and guests from all over to gather. Today is September 24th. Counting from now to November 3rd, there are only 40 days, which is quite compact!"
Zhang Tie thought for a while, "I have something to do during this period. I have to leave Huaiyuan County for a while. I will come back before November 1st!"
He has not been to the ice and snow wasteland for a long time. In these 40 days, Zhang Tie wants to go to the ice and snow wasteland. With his current speed in the water, it is ten times faster than before. If he wants to go to the ice and snow wasteland, The trip back and forth doesn't take long.
Elder Mu En pondered for a moment and looked at Zhang Tie seriously, "This wheel-turning ceremony is related to the family's reputation and prestige. After the invitations are sent out, guests from all over will gather. If something goes wrong during the ceremony, the entire Huaiyuan Hall will be in trouble. If your trip is dangerous, you can ask Elder Murray to go with you... "
Zhang Tie is really used to disappearing. Elder Mu En is afraid that if Zhang Tie disappears again this time, Huaiyuantang will be extremely happy and sad. If Zhang Tie is still the same Zhang Tie at this moment, Elder Mu En will definitely have a serious face. came to reprimand Zhang Tie, but Zhang Tie's current status is actually the same as him. Although he has not officially become a family elder, he is no longer someone who can look down on him in Huaiyuantang. As a family elder, unless he commits a crime Only for unforgivable crimes will the family unite to punish them. Otherwise, no orders can be given to the family elders, and everything can only be discussed, let alone anyone who dares to reprimand them.
"Don't worry, Elder Munn. I don't want to go to the demon-controlled area to fight the demons this time. There is no problem!" Knowing Elder Munn's concerns, Zhang Tie smiled and said calmly.
"In this case, you come with me..." Elder Mu En brought Zhang Tie to the back hall of the ancestral hall. This is where several family elders who sit in the ancestral hall retreat to practice. In a room in the back hall, Elder Moon took out a small brocade box from a cabinet and handed it to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie took it and opened it, and found a ring inside. The ring looked no different from an ordinary ring. Except that the material felt a bit generous, it looked very ordinary, but Zhang Tie knew that if it was an ordinary ring, It is basically impossible for several family elders of Huaiyuantang to take it here seriously, and the hands of these elders seem to be wearing such a ring that has a similar style and feels ordinary.
"This is the best remote sensing crystal ring that can only be carried by the elders of the Huaiyuantang family. This thing was originally supposed to be given to you when you confirmed your knight name and completed the wheel-turning ceremony. Since you have to leave Huaiyuan County during this period, , then you can bring this thing with you first. If you have any need at any time, you can contact Huaiyuantang through this thing."
This ring turned out to be a remote sensing crystal. Zhang Tie took it and looked at it over and over. I haven't seen anything that looks like a remote sensing crystal in this ring.
"There is a small piece of the best remote-sensing crystal in this ring. It is sealed in the surface of the ring. It cannot be seen with the naked eye. You will know it with your mental power!"
Zhang Tie used his mental power to sense it, and sure enough he found that there was a pore on the ring surface that was dozens of times smaller than the eye of a needle. His mental power penetrated deep through the pore. Suddenly, I felt the core of the remote sensing crystal, which was like a drop of living water.
The smaller the remote sensing crystal is, the easier it is to carry. It is also more precious. This ring has a remote sensing crystal sealed in the surface of the ring. Basically, no one can see any problems on the outside. Just the workmanship and the value of such a small remote-sensing crystal are enough to be astonishing. Compared with the remote-sensing crystal that Brother Zhang Tie worked so hard to get to Zhang Tie, this ring is several levels higher. Wear this thing on your hand, and at any time, as soon as information comes from the remote sensing crystal in the ring, you can receive it, which is very convenient.
Not to mention. This ring is also a very precious knight-level rune equipment. Zhang Tie's mental power just lightly swept the metal surface of the ring, and that line of information appeared in Zhang Tie's mind.
—The Ring of Huaiyuan
—Knight equipment.
—Wearing this ring can increase the wearer's agility by 2%. Physical recovery speed increases by 2%, and perception increases by 2%.
It can work on the knight and simultaneously improve the knight's three attributes by 2% each. Such a ring can only be said to be the best. More importantly, a top-quality remote-sensing crystal is secretly sealed in the ring.
"This ring is made by our Huaiyuantang Utensil Pavilion. Only family elders are qualified to wear it. Every family elder has one!"
Zhang Tie solemnly took it down. Although the Ring of Huaiyuan was light, it felt heavy in his hand.
In the box, there was also a special remote communication identification code for the ring. Zhang Tie read it in the room, wrote down the identification code clearly in front of Elder Moon, and then rubbed it with his hands, directly removing it. reduced to ashes.
"In the secret room of the ancestral hall, there is someone on duty 24 hours a day at the other end of the remote sensing crystal that can be connected to this ring. Through the transfer in the secret room, this ring can also contact the other five elders at any time! "
The secret room is an institution dedicated to remote sensing communication services for the elders of the Huaiyuantang family. It is controlled by loyal and reliable family deacons. Only three or five people are equipped with such an institution. This is the family heritage of Huaiyuantang and the privilege of becoming an elder.
"Did Elder Mu Yuan use the Ring of Huaiyuan to send the news back from the Eastern Continent immediately this time?"
"Not bad!" Elder Moon nodded.
After becoming a family elder, according to family rules, elders only call each other by title, regardless of seniority. Even if they are father, son and brother, seniority can only be discussed in their own homes or in private. However, Zhang Tie refers to words like "sixth uncle". No more barking.
…
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie walked down Yiyang Mountain alone. No one followed him, and no one followed him. He just waved his hands and walked out of the cardinal's place in Huaiyuantang.
In Huaiyuantang, no one dares to follow the family elders, and the only ones who can follow the knights are knights. Unless someone is impatient, they will follow a knight. Zhang Tie doesn't want to follow him, then naturally he will A man walked down the mountain easily.
"Ah, are you a new serving disciple? How come we haven't seen you before!" When going down the mountain, Zhang Tie met several serving disciples coming up from the mountain. Those few were about the same age as Zhang Tie. Look, Zhang Tie was young and was wearing a different samurai uniform from the others. He couldn't help but asked in surprise. On this mountain, all the stewards, deacons, and deacon disciples were uniformly dressed, and their hierarchies were clearly defined. Except for the family elders, , no one can wander around here casually wearing clothes. Who is this person, who dares to be so bold
"no… "
Zhang Tie replied calmly, and then walked away calmly amid the surprised eyes of the serving disciples.
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie arrived under an apartment building on a certain street in Yiyang City.
…
"Ah, the James couple you want to inquire about vacated their house half a year ago, and they have already left Yiyang City by boat!"
The doorman of the apartment building was a strong white man. Seeing that Zhang Tie was Chinese and that the samurai uniform he was wearing did not seem to be cheap, he couldn't help answering Zhang Tie's question very politely.
At this time, Yiyang City, due to the large-scale evacuation of the Chinese people, there were more people of other races in the city. Many of the Xibo people who came to Yiyang City found jobs, which also made up for the loss after the Chinese people left. labor vacancies in a city.
The guard's answer was completely within Zhang Tie's expectation. When he came, he guessed that Teacher Dinah might have moved away. Two months after he last left Yiyang City, Teacher Dinah should have moved with him. His fiancé got married. At this time, such a long time had passed, and the possibility of Teacher Dinah staying in Yiyang City was slim.
Zhang Tie himself didn't know why he came here. He just had an idea in his mind that he wanted to come and see how Teacher Dinah was doing and whether she was okay. If Teacher Dinah is really living a good life, he only needs to take a look from a distance and does not want to do anything. Zhang Tie only endured it after discovering that someone else was already living in the residence of Teacher Dinah and his husband. I kept asking the doorman about it.
"Do you know where they went?"
"I heard that he went to the Eastern Continent. I don't know where exactly he went. I heard that Dr. James' surgery was excellent. Someone offered him a high price to lure him away from the original hospital. By the way, his wife also I am pregnant. If I have the chance to leave at this time, I will leave naturally... "
Teacher Dinah is pregnant? Counting the time, Teacher Dinah should have become a mother by this time.
A complex emotion surged in Zhang Tie's heart.
I became a father and Teacher Dinah became a mother. Is this what I call life
…
After leaving Teacher Dinah's former residence, Zhang Tie walked alone in the lively and bustling streets of Yiyang City for a long time. Finally, he regained his composure, called a taxi on the street, and asked the taxi to take him. Send it to Jinhai City.
The taxi driver was also a black man and did not even speak Chinese fluently. Only when Zhang Tie pointed at where he was going on the map that the taxi driver took out did the taxi driver understand what he meant. destination.
Zhang Tie came to Jinhai City to visit the old man of the Zhang family. Along the way, the black driver completely regarded Zhang Tie as his free Chinese contact person. Listening to the various jokes the black driver said in half-baked Chinese, Zhang Tie Tie helplessly sighed, yes, this is life - the person the knight has a crush on will also become someone else's wife, and when you take a taxi, you will meet a driver who tries his best to tell jokes in broken Chinese when you are depressed.
The taxi driver drove the taxi outside the Zhang family's old house. Zhang Tiecai took a gold coin and gave it to the driver, "No need to look for it..."
The taxi fare was less than ten silver coins, so Zhang Tie dropped a gold coin, which made the black driver overjoyed.
"Shoes and shoes... Shoes and shoes..." The black driver spoke in Chinese chatteringly, and then drove away in a hurry, for fear that Zhang Tie would regret it.
Zhang Tie shook his head and walked towards the Zhang family's old house...
A luxury car happened to be driving towards the Zhang family's old house from outside at this time. The car passed by Zhang Tie. Seeing Zhang Tie walking, the car slowed down and the glass of the car window was lowered. , a beautiful girl with a carefully decorated hairstyle and a very ladylike skirt looked at Zhang Tie's profile in the car with a slight frown. Zhang Tie turned his head and took a look, and the woman's eyes immediately lit up.
"Is it you?" The woman's voice was full of surprise and amazement.
Zhang Tie looked at this woman carefully before remembering where he had seen this woman. This was the woman who hugged him and called him her husband when she saw him for the first time...
This woman seems to be called... Nana...
After the little girl changed her dress a few years ago, Zhang Tie almost couldn't recognize her...
However, based on Zhang Tie's understanding of women, he only took one look at this woman and knew that the lady-like dress she was wearing was just an act... ()
