Of course, Ling Yun recognized his ancestors first, and then he could follow the members of the Ling family to worship the ancestors of the Ling family.
Hearing Ling Lie's words, Ling Yun didn't hesitate. He lightly brushed the clothes in front of him to tidy up, then bowed respectfully to the ancestral tablet in front of him.
Ling Yun's expression was solemn and serious, and he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to worship his ancestors.
At the same time, Ling Lie's voice sounded again: "Unfilial son Ling Lie, I would like to inform all the ancestors of the Ling family tonight: My unfilial son Ling Xiao, when he was young, made a big mistake because of his ignorance, which caused the descendants of the Ling family to die. Ling Yun, who was living away from home since he was a child, now returns home to recognize his ancestors and come to worship ancestors. Now, I will write Ling Yun's name in our Ling family tree, and hope that the ancestors have spirits, and there is knowledge in the spring, and bless our Ling parents to prosper !"
After Ling Yun kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, Ling Lie's voice fell just in time.
Ling Lie used a brush to write Ling Yun's name into the family tree of the Ling family. After the handwriting was dry, he carefully closed the family tree and placed it solemnly in front of the ancestral tablet of the Ling family.
After doing this, Ling Lie pulled Ling Yun up from the ground.
"Son, get up, go behind your father, and come together later, and follow me to worship the ancestors of the Ling family."
Ling Yun didn't say much, just nodded to Ling Lie, walked up behind Ling Xiao and stood still.
At this point, Ling Yun officially recognized his ancestors and returned to the Ling family.
The whole process was solemn and solemn, but not procrastinating, very crisp and neat, typical of the Ling family's handling style.
Then Ling Lie cleared his throat and shouted: "Descendants of the Ling family, pay homage to the ancestors."
After speaking, his tall stature immediately bowed respectfully to the ancestral tablet in front of him.
Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, and Ling Xiao, of course, also knelt on the ground, and all the Ling family members in the ancestral hall, no matter men, women or children, fell to their knees.
Next, of course, was to burn incense and paper, and prayed for a while. After all the procedures were completed, Ling Lie led his children and grandchildren to stand up.
In this way, for ordinary families, the whole process of ancestor worship is over.
However, the Ling family is different, they still have the inheritance of the Ling family, the willow of ghosts and gods.
According to the usual practice, all members of the Ling family who practice Xuanhuang scriptures must bite their fingertips, drip a few drops of blood on the divine willow, and also inject their own cultivated Xuanhuang true energy into the divine willow, which is considered a sacrifice Zu ends.
This time, naturally, there will be no exception.
Ling Lie turned his head and looked at Ling Yun kindly: "Yun'er, take out your other piece of wood as well."
"good."
Ling Yun nodded, and without hesitation, took out another willow of ghosts and gods from the space ring, stepped forward a few steps, and handed that willow of ghosts and gods into Ling Lie's hands.
Then Ling Yun turned around and was about to return to the original place.
Ling Lie grabbed him and said with a smile: "You don't need to go back now, the ancestors have already worshiped, so there are not so many rules."
"oh."
Ling Yun smiled, so he stood there without moving.
Ling Lie turned around, faced the Ling family full of children and grandchildren, and suddenly raised the willow of ghosts and gods in his hand.
He looked excited and said loudly: "Children, look, look at what this is!"
"This is the inheritance of our Ling family! These two pieces of wood were originally as black as charcoal, and even I didn't know what they were. Our Ling family has followed the Ling family's ancestors' instructions and given them almost every year and every month for decades. One drop of blood, infusing them with the mysterious and yellow true energy we cultivated, but after so many years, we have used the power of the family, but we have not been able to make them change."
"However, this year, after I found out about Yun'er's whereabouts, I sent Elder Cui to Qingshui City, and asked him to bring our Ling family's inheritance to let Yun'er recognize his relatives with a drop of blood. The original intention was to see Is Yun'er the third son's son?"
"However, after this piece of wood was in Yun'er's hands, it was injected with blood, and it underwent an earth-shaking change in an instant! Not only is the dead tree rejuvenating, but it is also full of vitality and has resumed its growth!"
"Up to now, everyone can see clearly that these two pieces of wood have become like this, and they have grown into two small trees!"
"Although so far, I don't know what unexpected benefits these two small trees can bring to our Ling family, but the old man is now in the middle stage of the eighth level of congenital, so I can naturally feel the radiance of these two small trees. The huge aura and vitality coming out!"
"This is the surprise that Yun'er brought to our Ling family, and it's also the luck that Yun'er brought to our Ling family! Based on this alone, Yun'er is our Ling family's great hero!"
"Besides, before Yun'er recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he had saved the Ling family several times by himself. He rescued his second uncle from the Chen family, and arrived at our Ling family in time that night to resolve the crisis. The Ling family is in danger of being exterminated, and healed everyone in the Ling family, helping me to ascend to the eighth level of the innate realm... just the night before yesterday, when Yun'er returned to the capital, he rescued his father!"
After Ling Lie said so much in one breath, he stopped talking, took a deep breath to the silent crowd, and said loudly: "In view of Ling Yun's contribution, according to the family law, I now declare that Ling Yun is the future of our Ling family. The heir of the patriarch! From now on, the inheritance of the Ling family will also be entrusted to him!"
As the saying goes, there are no rules, and there is no circle. When a big family does things, everything is done in an orderly manner, strictly in accordance with the family law.
Even if Ling Lie has the final say in the Ling family now, if he wants Ling Yun to be the future head of the Ling family, he has to explain Ling Yun's contribution, convince everyone, and then announce it according to the family rules.
It's not that he gave this seat to Ling Yun with a light word. In that case, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied.
This is the behavior style of a big family, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary second- and third-rate families.
After Ling Lie finished his announcement, he put down the willow of ghosts and gods in his hand, then turned his eyes to his three sons: "Boss, second and third, do you have any opinions on my decision?"
Ling Zhen was expressionless, he bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Ling Yun's contribution to the Ling family is obvious to all, and my child has no objection."
Ling Yue simply clapped his hands and said with a hearty smile: "Father, my child fully supports your decision. The future head of the Ling family, except Ling Yun, no one else can do it."
Ling Yue's words were tantamount to announcing in public that he openly supported Ling Yun.
When Ling Zhen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Ling Xiao also bowed and said, "Father is in charge of everything."
Ling Lie gave his son the position of the future head of the Ling family, what else can Ling Xiao say
"good!"
Ling Lie laughed happily, and waved his hand: "Since you all have no objections, then this matter is settled."
"Then, let's follow the usual practice. I'll come first."
As Ling Lie was speaking, he brought his left index finger to his mouth and bit it lightly. A bloody mouth appeared on the finger instantly. Ling Lie quickly put his finger on the willow of ghosts and gods. Qi, transported into the divine willow.
However, at this time, an unexpected scene happened.
The blood flowing from Ling Lie's fingertips was not instantly absorbed by the willow of ghosts and gods as usual, but flowed directly down the bark surface of the wood, and finally dripped on the ground.
This time, the willow of ghosts and gods did not absorb even a drop of Ling Lie's blood.
Of course, the mysterious and yellow true energy he transported into the willow of ghosts and gods was still completely absorbed by that small tree without rejection.
Ling Lie was stunned for a moment, staring at the place where the finger and the little tree joined, dumbfounded.
"The inheritance of our Ling family won't absorb my blood? What's going on?"
No wonder the old man was stunned. The inheritance of the Ling family did not accept his blood. Doesn't that mean that Shen Liumu is rejecting him
You know, it is now in the ancestral hall of the Ling family, and the ancestors of the Ling family have spirits in the sky, but they are all watching.
Ling Lie didn't believe it, thinking that the blood he had bitten just now wasn't big enough, so he brought his fingers to his mouth again, biting hard, and the blood flowed profusely immediately.
He put his fingertips on the surface of the ghost willow again, but found that it was still the same as before, the blood flowed down the surface of the bark, but was not absorbed by the ghost willow.
"Boss, come here! Try it too!"
Ling Lie was in a hurry, and when he turned his head, he called Ling Zhen over. Ling Zhen looked solemn, and hurried forward, doing the same thing, but the result was the same, blood dripped on the ground.
Ling Zhen shook his head: "Father, this wood only absorbs Xuanhuang Zhenqi, but not blood."
Ling Lie was puzzled, and called Ling Xiao over again, but it was still useless, the ghosts and gods Liu would not suck the blood of the Ling family.
"Hehe, the inheritance of our Ling family will no longer suck the blood of the Ling family, so it's going to be a lot of fun!"
Seeing the strange situation happening, Ling Hao was really looking forward to it, so he seized the opportunity, and secretly attacked Ling Yun with his words.
"shut up!"
Ling Zhen turned his head and scolded Ling Hao angrily.
Facing Ling Hao's indifferent attack, Ling Yun just smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said calmly, "Grandpa, why don't you let me try?"
After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Ling Lie agreed or not, he directly took the index finger of his left hand, and swiped his nails hard on the palm of his right hand, immediately cut a huge bloody hole.
Ling Yun's right hand was bleeding profusely, without hesitation, he directly held the willow of ghosts and gods with his right hand!
"brush!"
Ling Yun only felt that the blood flow accelerated, and the blood flowing out of his palm was continuously absorbed by the ghost willow, and he could even feel the greed of the ghost willow.
Led by Ling Lie, including Ling Zhen and Ling Xiao, everyone was dumbfounded.
Ling Yun smiled lightly, and explained: "These two pieces of wood have been fed by my blood these days, and their appetite is very tricky."
Although Ling Yun's statement is very interesting, it tells the truth about the willow of ghosts and gods.
The fact is that Ling Yun has achieved great body training and practiced the Da Yan Ju Xing Jue. His body is already a precious body, and many kinds of fairy spirits coexist in his body. Although he is still of the blood of the Ling family, the quality or level of blood is higher than that of Ling Yun. Everyone in the family doesn't know how many times!
Ghost God Willow naturally absorbs blood to grow, just like human beings, after eating delicacies from mountains and seas, no one would want to eat bran swallowed vegetables, for a reason.
In the process of injecting blood into Ghost God Willow, Ling Yun did not forget to inject Xuanhuang Zhenqi into its body at the same time.
This time, Ghost God Willow absorbed Ling Yun's blood and Xuanhuang's true energy several times more than usual.
Sudden!
"boom!"
The willow of ghosts and gods has changed again!
