As soon as Liemen's century-old peer alliance was over, He Yongchang, the Patriarch of the He family, hurried to Shennongjia.
The He family's nine-inch threshold finally staggered across.
From the perspective of others, this is the good luck of the family, and it is also the ability of the Patriarch He Yongchang.
It has not been easy since ancient times to be able to overwhelm the crowd as an attacker at the peer alliance ceremony.
But He Yongchang knew in his heart that now the nine-inch threshold has been passed, but the whole He family, that is to say, it will be gone.
The matter of the He family's hunting ground was like a boulder pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.
Especially now, the leader Lin Shuo is in Shennongjia, handling the matter personally.
He Yongchang asked himself, since he became the owner of the He family, he has done his best for the hunting ground.
The top is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and the bottom is worthy of the people of one side.
But the He family had committed too many sins before, so many things were hard to recover.
The old Patriarch had three nine-inch-capable sons, but the position of Patriarch was passed on to him. This was both kindness and trust.
So He Yongchang had some things that he couldn't shirk away, and he felt distressed in his heart.
When the chief executive comes to Shennongjia this time, these broken things will inevitably be uncovered one by one. What is the mood of the old man who can't keep everything right now.
When we met in Shennongjia later, the leader might have asked him, the Patriarch of the He family, to commit suicide on the spot.
With a big stone on his chest and a sword hanging over his head, He Yongchang returned to He's house trembling this morning.
Most of the He family's children now live in Xiangyang, which is also where the He family's ancestral home is located.
In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the He family moved from Taiyuan, Shanxi to Xiangyang, and it has been passed down to He Yongchang for thirteen generations.
A hundred years ago, the head of the He family was He Yongchang's great-grandfather, He Guangyuan, who failed in the peer alliance ceremony and set up the He family's hunting ground in Shennongjia.
Although Xiangyang is close to Shennongjia, there is still some distance after all, so the hunter branch, the main branch of the He family, was separated again and moved to Fangxian County today.
The county is adjacent to Shennongjia in the south, and the village where the He family's main line is located is the southernmost part of the county, called Hejiazhuang.
Because of the existence of the hunting ground, the previous generations of the He family had made a fortune, so Zhuangzi built it beautifully, with row upon row of large villas.
When the He family was prosperous back then, for every inheritance hunter with a seven-inch ability, the He family would pay to build a villa for their own hunters to live in.
Six years ago, the He family was at its peak, and all thirty-six villas were fully occupied.
Six years after the snake hook incident in Kunlun Mountain, the He family sent five hunters to assist Lin Leshan, one of them was Nine Inches, and he was the one who contributed the most in the Liemen family except the Zhang family.
Zhang Lianhai, the head of the Zhang family, came personally, and the He family couldn't compare.
He Yongchang knew in his heart that the reason why the chief executive looked at him highly was not only that his character and ability could be seen by his old man, but also because the chief executive collected the corpses of the five He family hunters six years ago.
Before this peer alliance ceremony, the Chief Leader took himself to Kunlun Mountain to pay respects to the graves of these five uncles, and by the way told the whole story about the snake hook.
The chief executive remembers the love created by five lives.
And since the snake hook incident six years ago, the Lin family was unlucky, and the He family also left to recite words.
Within a few years, something happened to the hunting ground, and the thirty-six villas in Hejiazhuang gradually became empty.
Up to now, there are only ten villas inhabited.
In other words, there are only ten hunters in the He family who are capable of more than seven inches, including He Yongchang.
Before He Yongchang told Jin Wenlan that there were many vacant houses in his house, that was not a big talk, and the other twenty-six villas are now living in casually.
When He Yongchang rushed back to Hejiazhuang, it was just dawn.
Although the villas in Hejiazhuang are very grand, but the place is on the edge of a mountain after all, and it is difficult to change their living habits, so they still like to burn earthen stoves.
As soon as he entered Zhuangzi and smelled the smell of cooking smoke, He Yongchang quickly looked up to see which one was cooking.
Now that the hunting grounds are out of control, most of the He family hunters are protecting the mountain people in Shennongjia, and there are very few people in the village.
Whichever chimney emits smoke, it means that the family is here at the moment.
He soon found it, it was He Yongrui's house.
He Yongfeng, He Yongrui, and He Yongnian, these are the three sons of the old Patriarch, and He Yongrui is the second eldest, He Yongchang's cousin.
He Yongchang walked into He Yongrui's house, and found the second brother by the kitchen stove with ease.
Don't ask, he must be cooking by himself.
The second elder brother loves his wife, and the second sister-in-law is still not up yet.
"Oops! Patriarch is back?" He Yongrui saw He Yongchang enter the kitchen, and he was about to stand up from the small bench next to the stove.
He Yongchang hurriedly stepped forward, pressed the second elder brother's shoulder, and then squatted down himself: "Okay, hurry up and cook, or you will be scolded by the second sister-in-law soon."
While talking, He Yongchang took out a piece of dry firewood from the pile of firewood at hand, broke it off with his hands, and handed it to He Yongrui.
He Yongrui smiled, took the firewood and put it in the stove: "Patriarch, have we passed the nine-inch threshold?"
"It's over."
"Great, the old man made you the head of the house, it's true."
"This is not all a good thing, there are joys and sorrows." He Yongchang sighed, and then asked, "Second brother, where is the chief executive now?"
"Chief leader?" He Yongrui froze for a moment, "Which boss?"
"Our chief hunter!"
"President Lin?"
"yes!"
"I haven't seen it before." He Yongrui finally came to his senses, "According to Patriarch's intention, the chief executive is also here this time?"
"That's right, I got here four days ago." He Yongchang said, "I told He Yongnian on the phone."
"I was in the forest area before, and I went to the forest area in Yongnian when I came back. We haven't met each other for the past few days." He Yongrui said, "But what's going on with the boss, logically speaking, he should come first when he comes to Shennongjia We, Hejiazhuang, are we going directly to the mountains?"
"Oh, it's over." He Yongchang slapped his thigh, "I originally asked this kid He Yongnian to pick up the leader, this kid can talk smartly.
With him by the chief's side, we can somewhat cover up the messy things in our family.
This is great, such a big leader has lost contact in Shennongjia. "
"Yeah, there's no mobile phone signal inside, and we can't get in touch with Yongnian now." After He Yongrui said this, he thought for a while, "Patriarch, you go back to Qianhe Village to have a look, the chief may be there."
"Why?"
"I passed by there yesterday morning, and saw cooking smoke from a distance. It stands to reason that people shouldn't live there now. I was protecting the mountain people at that time, so I didn't have time to go and have a look." He Yongrui said.
"Okay, then I'll go and have a look now." He Yongchang stood up.
"Let's go after breakfast."
"No time." He Yongchang took two steps outside, seemed to remember something, and said, "Second brother, if I can't come back this time, who do you think is better to take over the position of the owner?"
He Yongrui was startled, and looked up at He Yongchang: "Patriarch, why do you ask this suddenly?"
"in case."
"Then Yongnian." He Yongrui said, "Young and smart, among the four of us, his talent is second only to you."
"Okay, that's it." He Yongchang nodded and strode away.
…
Once the peer alliance ceremony was over, the Su family's old house gradually calmed down.
This morning, Anne, as the host here, saw off the last batch of guests.
After a private banquet last night, the Yun family is going back this morning.
At the entrance of the village, looking at the wine jar in Bai Jinglue's hand, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family twitched her lips.
I wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it.
This is Lin Shuo's favorite drink, Nurhong. This jar is twenty years old, so it's not easy to make.
Originally, the altar of wine was guarded by Zhou Lingshi, and the father-in-law Miao Guangqi only ordered a jug if he wanted to drink it.
Now that Zhou Lingshi followed Lin Shuo to Shennongjia, the wine was left unattended, so Bai Jinglue, who knows the goods, walked away.
The chief guardian of the Yun family is Lin Shuo's grandfather, so Anne can't say anything.
And Bai Jinglue, as the best person in the family of husband-in-law, is a character who can see all directions and listen to all directions. When he saw Anne's face was stiff, he laughed:
"Granddaughter-in-law, don't feel bad, I don't take this wine for nothing. Let's go to Shennongjia right away. The fight of the alliance ceremony of the same generation was not a good one, so we just went to loosen our muscles and bones."
As soon as Bai Jinglue finished speaking, the other eight Yun family guardians said one after another:
"Hey, Master Bai, what you said is not right. What do you mean you didn't have a good time?"
"That's right, it's not marked at all, okay?"
"It's so boring, I don't even give a chance for fake beatings."
"Yang Baokun, who played for us, was too wet, and he fainted with a stick."
"Let's not care about the level of ability, but on the stage, you have to show some posture."
"That is, there is no artistic expression at all."
"It's far worse than our brothers."
"Okay." Bai Jing waved his hand impatiently, and then said to Yun Bihua, "Master, we didn't know about it before, but now that we know about Shennongjia this time, we can't just sit idly by.
There are more than one powerful thing there, and the grandson and Miao Xueping must be too busy.
I took these goods and went to Shennongjia to do a favor.
what do you mean? "
Yun Bihua gave her husband a blank look: "You have said that in front of others, what else can I say?"
"I obey." Bai Jinglue sloppily cupped his fists, then waved at Miao Chengyun, "Come here, boy."
Miao Chengyun was watching a play, and he was a little caught off guard at the moment, so he quickly stepped forward: "Master Bai."
"By the way, you are the Taoist guardian of the Yun family, who will nod on this matter?" Bai Jinglue asked.
"I agreed." Yun Xiu'er said from the side.
"So it's the new Patriarch." Bai Jing nodded slightly, and then said, "But Patriarch, you have been studying outside before, so you may not know the rules of the house.
Although the guardians of the Yun family obey the orders of the head of the Yun family, the chief guardian of the Yun family has the final say on who they are.
Patriarch, you agree unilaterally, that is not acceptable.
Besides, you were not the head of the Yun Family when you promised him. "
"Then what should we do?" Yun Xiu'er was a little surprised, "Grandpa, don't you agree?"
Yun Xiu'er's mother, named Yun Yueling, was the sister of Lin Shuo's mother, Yun Yuexin, who died of dystocia when giving birth to Yun Xiu'er.
So Bai Jinglue is both Lin Shuo's grandfather and Yun Xiuer's grandfather.
"Since my granddaughter likes it, I naturally have no reason to drive her out." After saying this, Bai Jinglue said to Miao Chengyun: "Boy, you follow us to Shennongjia this time, it can be regarded as an internship period for you. , If you perform well, you can be regarded as the tenth of us here, if you perform poorly, then wait a few years before we talk about it.”
"No, Master Bai, you misunderstood." Miao Chengyun said, "I didn't want to get married."
"Oh, I don't want to get married, I'm so ambitious." Bai Jing nodded slightly, "Then you want to learn from Ma Yixian and Lin Leshan, and picked all nine of us at once."
Miao Chengyun waved his hands in fright: "No, no, I don't mean that."
The nine guardians of the Yun family are all figures of the Great Perfection of the Nine Realms. Although their inheritance is somewhat reserved, the Yun family should not be as strong as Lin Shuo and Miao Xueping, but they are much stronger than the current Miao Chengyun A star and a half.
Fighting with them, Miao Chengyun asked himself that he could give it a try in five years, but if he started fighting now, he was purely looking for abuse.
"Then you can only start as a guardian." Bai Jinglue said, "I gave you this internship opportunity. Do you want it or not?"
"Yes!" Miao Chengyun responded quickly, "I went to Shennongjia to find out the news before, and it's okay for me to guide the seniors."
"Then I'm going too." Yun Xiu'er said at this time.
"Patriarch, don't go." Bai Jing shook his head slightly.
"Why can't I go?" Yun Xiu'er asked.
Yun Bihua, the old head of the Yun family, said, "According to your aunt, Shennongjia is an ominous place for the Yun family, and even she dare not set foot in it lightly. If you go now, you will definitely follow in the footsteps of Yun Yulan back then. I can't get out of it."
"There is such a thing?" Yun Xiu'er was surprised, "Did Auntie say what it is?"
"I didn't say it, because she hasn't seen it before, so I don't know what it is." Yun Bihua shook her head and said, "She wanted to use Yun Yulan's clue to track down the Bodhisattva, and she sensed that thing as soon as she got close to Shennongjia. .
She came back and told me that this thing is definitely not the Earth Bodhisattva, not as brilliant as the Earth Bodhisattva, but it is indeed a disaster, especially for practitioners who cultivate gods.
Shennongjia is the hunting ground of the He family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter according to the rules of the hunting gate, so she told the He family about it.
Hearing the news, the He family organized people to hunt in the mountains, and it is said that the hunt was successful.
But your aunt said that the things are still there, and the He family either made a mistake, or they were simply lying.
Not long after, your aunt had a falling out with the family in order to marry Lin Leshan.
Since she has fallen out with the family, we will naturally not fall out with the He family because of her.
So this matter will be left alone in our Yun family. "
"So that's how it is." Yun Xiu'er pondered for a while, then glanced at Miao Chengyun, and said calmly, "Then you should be careful."
Miao Chengyun smiled, took a step closer, and whispered in Yun Xiuer's ear:
"If I return victorious from this trip, can my monthly pocket money be increased by two hundred?"
Yun Xiuer's face flushed slightly, and she nodded: "En."
"Okay." Miao Chengyun clapped his hands, "Then no matter what this thing is, it's dead."
