When Chen Xi was still cultivating in the immortal world, he returned to the human world and used the Yuhuang Jiuzhou Cauldron to import the "Guting Small World" where the Great Chu Dynasty was located and the Jiuhua Sword Sect of the Xuanhuan Domain into it, bringing it into Taoism. Royal College.
In other words, Chen Xi’s relatives and friends from back then are all now living in the Dao Emperor Academy.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Songyan Chen family, the atmosphere was solemn.
Chen Xi sat alone in the middle of the hall.
His father, Chen Lingjun, and his mother, Zuo Qiu Xue, sat at the top of the table on one side.
Chen Hao, Chen Xi’s younger brother, stood on Chen Xi’s right side.
Today is the second day after Chen Xi returns. According to Chen Hao's wishes, all members of the Chen family in Songyan should come to pay homage to Chen Xi and his parents one by one.
After all, many years have passed since Chen Xi last left, and now many new descendants of the Songyan Chen family have emerged.
If you don't even recognize Chen Xi and Chen Lingjun, it would be unreasonable to be a descendant of the Songyan Chen family.
Chen Xi naturally had no objection to this arrangement. He also wanted to see how many descendants of the Songyan Chen family had been added to the family in the years since he had left.
Of course, Chen Xi already knew all this through the memory of the second clone, but this kind of etiquette and etiquette must be carried out.
A clan, without rules and order, will certainly not be able to survive for a long time.
What's more, now that Chen Lingjun and his wife have returned, although they have heard Chen Xi talk about a lot of changes in the Songyan Chen family, they have never witnessed them with their own eyes. At this moment, they should naturally satisfy the wishes of their two elders. .
Originally, according to Chen Xi's wishes, since his father Chen Lingjun returned, Chen Lingjun should naturally take charge of the position of clan leader, but Chen Lingjun shook his head and refused, and was not even willing to sit on the chair to accept the audience of the clan's descendants.
Therefore, Chen Xi could only sit alone in the center of the main hall.
"let's start."
Seeing that the time had come, Chen Xi waved his hand casually.
Chen Hao on one side walked out immediately and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the disciples outside the hall, enter the hall one by one according to their seniority, and pay homage to the clan elders!"
The words just fell.
Fei Lengcui, Qing Xiuyi, and Fan Yunlan have entered the main hall.
"I've met my father and my mother."
The three women stepped forward and bowed one by one. They saw Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue, and their expressions ranged from respectful to awe-inspiring.
Chen Lingjun nodded with a smile, while Zuo Qiuxue took out some treasures such as hairpins, jade bracelets and jade pendants and gave them to Fei Lengcui, Qing Xiuyi and Fan Yunlan one by one.
Immediately, the three people from Fei Lengcui stood behind Chen Lingjun and his wife.
At this moment, even if they have extraordinary cultivation and different temperaments, they dare not go beyond the clan etiquette in the slightest.
Seeing this, Chen Xi and Chen Hao couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
At this time, another group of people walked into the hall.
The leader is Chen An, with his wife Wei Zitong on one side, and Chen Yu and his wife Yue Wenting on the other side.
"I met my grandfather and grandmother."
The two couples stepped forward first, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Chen Lingjun and his wife, and then saluted Chen Xi.
Chen Xi looked at his son Chen An, then at his nephew Chen Yu, and recalled that in the Chu Dynasty, the two little guys were still children, but now they are independent in the world, mentally mature, and have formed their own families. It really made Chen Xi sigh with emotion.
"Get up."
Chen Xi waved his hand, and immediately his expression straightened, and he said, "As the son of the Chen family, it is your duty to defend the honor of the clan. You must remember this."
Chen An and his wife, as well as Chen Yu and his wife, both accepted the order solemnly and immediately stood on the side of the main hall.
"What are you afraid of? My father won't eat you!"
"not me… "
"If you hesitate any longer, just leave by yourself. I, Chen Nuo, will pretend that I have never known you!"
"Nono, don't be angry, I'm just a little nervous... uh, I'll come right away!"
At this time, a quarrel sounded outside the hall, and with the sound, a man and a woman walked into the hall.
The leading woman has a slender figure, long hair in a bun, and an extremely beautiful face. She is very similar to Fan Yunlan, but her eyebrows are as dark as ink, and she looks very much like Chen Xi.
This woman is none other than Chen Xi and Fan Yunlan’s daughter—Chen Nonuo.
On Chen Nuonuo's side, closely followed a man who looked ordinary, but exuded a perseverance and calm temperament. But as soon as he entered the hall, the man unconsciously became nervous, his eyebrows lowered, his hands Don't even know where to put it.
Seeing this, Chen Lingjun couldn't help but ask: "Is this Nuonuo? She is indeed a beautiful little girl, especially her eyebrows, which are exactly the same as Xi'er."
Fan Yunlan, who was behind him, said quickly: "My father has a sharp eye, Nuonuo, why don't you hurry up and visit your grandfather?"
Chen Nuonuo didn't care whether the man next to him agreed or not. He pulled him and came to Chen Lingjun and his wife. He knelt down and saluted: "Nono has met my grandfather and grandmother."
After saying that, seeing the man on one side sweating profusely and unable to speak, Chen Noonuo suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You are mute, why can't you speak?"
Fan Yunlan's eyes widened: "Nono must not be rude!"
Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue looked at it interestingly, but they didn't take it seriously and said, "Nono, who are you?"
Chen Nuonuo curled her lips, glanced sideways at the man, and said, "Speak for yourself! Normally, you are indifferent to favors and humiliations, and are not even afraid of life and death. Why are you so timid now? Could it be that your previous arrogance was just an act?" Can’t do it?”
When the man heard this, he smiled bitterly again. He was so nervous that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked quite embarrassed.
Seeing him like this, Chen Nuo became even more angry.
Today is the most solemn and solemn day for the clan. Every member of the Chen clan is afraid of being neglected and has been waiting outside the main hall as early as last night. But this guy actually behaved so badly at such a moment, which made her Chen How can Nuo be able to raise his head in the Chen family in the future
"Okay, let me introduce you."
Chen Xi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke with a smile, pointed at the man and said, "This son's name is Shen Yan. He was a disciple I took in when I was practicing in the Jiuhua Sword Sect. But I didn't expect that so many years have passed. , he has grown to such an extent that he has taken over the position of the leader of the Jiuhua Sword Sect, and he has not disappointed me."
The voice was as light as the wind, and when it fell into Ana Shen's ears, it was like listening to the Zen sound of the great avenue, which made the tension in his heart disappear and he became quiet.
"Haha, brother, you don't know that Ana Shen had already fallen in love with this girl Nuonuo many years ago, and there is only one more ceremony to become a Taoist couple."
Chen Hao laughed.
"In that case, why didn't you become a Taoist couple early?"
Chen Xi asked in surprise.
Chen Noonuo pursed his lips and remained silent. Ana Shen was about to explain, but saw Chen Noonuo glaring at him and immediately shut up.
Seeing this, Fan Yunlan, the mother, could only stand up and explain: "This girl is too stubborn and won't listen to anyone. I have to wait until you return one day and let you, the father, personally organize it for her." The ceremony of becoming a Taoist couple."
Chen Xi was startled, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, and said: "Leave this matter to me. Since it is my Chen Xi's daughter who is getting married, she naturally wants to get married in a glorious way! If you have any conditions, just tell me, as a father You must be satisfied.”
Chen Nuonuo's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Chen Xi smiled and said: "This is natural."
Chen Noonuo wanted to say more, but was pulled over by Fan Yunlan, and at the same time said to Shen Yan: "Come here too, today is the most solemn day of the clan, let's put aside the personal relationship between your children for the time being."
Ana Shen nodded, followed quickly, and stood next to Chen Nuonuo.
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but be curious. Shen Yan was taciturn and as hard as a rock. How did a lively girl like Nono fall in love with him
As if he had seen through Chen Xi's thoughts, Chen Hao said via voice: "Girl Nono, ever since she heard that Shen Yan and your eldest brother had the same personalities when they were young, she started to pay attention to other people. As time went by, the two of them naturally got together. "
Chen Xi was speechless for a moment. When he was young, he encountered great changes in his clan, which made his temperament become silent and dull. He never thought that in the eyes of Nuonuo, this girl would become a criterion for choosing a Taoist partner...
However, as long as it is not a big mistake, Chen Xi would not object to the actions of his children. What's more, Shen Yan is the first disciple he has accepted in this world, so he would not mind if his daughter marries him. Wronged.
At this time, a man and a woman walked outside the main hall again. The man was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high-spirited look. The woman was cute and charming, with extraordinary grace.
These two people are Chen Baobao, the son of Chen Yu and Yue Wenting, whose name is Chen Baojing, and Chen Yunyun, the daughter of Chen An and Wei Zitong, whose name is Chen Yunzhi.
"I met my great-grandfather and great-grandmother!"
Chen Baojing and Chen Yunzhi both knelt down and kowtowed, making Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue burst into smiles, feeling indescribable joy in their hearts.
Although the two of them had known for a long time that they were already great-grandfather and great-grandmother, when they actually saw their great-grandson and great-granddaughter, they still couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion and great relief.
"I've met Grandpa!"
"Meet grandpa!"
Immediately, Chen Baojing and Chen Yunzhi kowtowed to Chen Xi.
"Get up."
Chen Xi said with a smile that when he first met them, they were only five or six years old. Now they have grown up. Even their cultivation has reached the level of Da Luo Jinxian, which is dazzling.
Next, many descendants of the Chen family entered the hall one after another and paid homage to Chen Xi and Chen Lingjun.
These Chen clan members were all recruited into the Chen clan by Chen Hao when they were in Songyan City. They are descendants of the Chen clan from outside the family line. Although they are not blood relatives, in fact, after these years of testing and experience, they have already become Songyan clan members. A member of the Chen family.
It was not until nightfall that Chen Xi saw all the Chen clan members one by one. At this time, the magnificent and vast hall was already filled with figures, at least thousands of them.
These are the backbone of the Songyan Chen family, and they are the foundation of the family that has been gradually built since Chen Hao became the patriarch.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Xi felt indescribable emotions in his heart. He knew that when he was wandering around these years, his younger brother Chen Hao actually did not relax for a moment for the sake of the family's great cause.
Chen Lingjun and his wife were also agitated at this moment and couldn't help themselves. After they left, the Chen family was almost completely destroyed. Now that they have returned, the Songyan Chen family has not only restored its former prosperity, but has become countless times stronger than before. This makes How can the two of them still remain calm
"None of this is possible without the hard work of Xi'er and Hao'er!"
Chen Lingjun sighed.
Zuo Qiu Xue deeply believed that a pair of brothers, with one palm outside, traveled all over the world, and within one palm, a long-extinct clan was reborn from the ashes. Without them, the Songyan Chen family was destined not to be where it is today. .
…
That night.
Songyan Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
The candlelight was bright, shining on Chen Tianli's spiritual throne, solemn and quiet.
Chen Xi stepped forward and respectfully took down the spiritual tablet belonging to Chen Tianli. A wisp of divine flame appeared out of thin air, and instantly burned the spiritual tablet into nothingness.
Then he took a deep breath and made a light stroke with his fingertips.
An obscure and strange power of reincarnation seems to come from eternity, with a vast and illusory meaning, seeming to connect to the past and future, crossing the barrier of cause and effect, and converging along the trajectory of destiny.
Chen Lingjun, his wife and Chen Hao, who were standing behind Chen Xi, could not help but become nervous at this moment.
Gradually, inspired by the power of reincarnation, a vague figure appeared and emerged.
Buzz…
Along with a strange buzzing sound, the power of reincarnation suddenly disappeared, and in the open space of the ancestral hall, a rickety and old figure appeared.
His face was withered, his eyes were cloudy, and his hair was gray. Under the loose gray clothes, he had a skeletal body, looking like he was in his twilight years.
At this moment, Chen Lingjun, his wife, and Chen Hao couldn't help but open their eyes wide, and their whole bodies were trembling with excitement.
"This is?"
The old man made a hoarse voice and looked around in confusion, "Didn't I die a long time ago? Why... I woke up again. Am I not dead?"
With a pop, Chen Lingjun and Zuo Qiuxue fell to their knees, their voices choked with sobs: "Father!"
Chen Hao also knelt down, with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa!"
The old man was stunned immediately, as if struck by lightning. He stared at Chen Lingjun, his wife and Chen Hao, as if he couldn't believe it. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "You... I... what is going on?"
Chen Xi stepped forward, held the old man's thin shoulders, and said, "Grandpa, now... our family is finally reunited..."
This old man was Chen Tianli. He was ambushed on the way to send Chen Hao to Qianyu Sword Sect and died.
Now, he was rescued by Chen Xi, who had already controlled destiny and the secret of reincarnation.
However, his consciousness remained at the moment before his death.
However, Chen Xi is not in a hurry. As long as Chen Tianli comes back to life, he will understand all this in a short time.
The only thing that Chen Xi regrets is that when he was young, he did not remember the faces of other members of the Chen clan who died, and his memory was completely blank. With his current abilities, he could only save Chen Tianli from the reincarnation of fate.
That night, Chen Xi, Chen Lingjun and his wife, as well as their younger brother Chen Hao, all accompanied Chen Tianli and talked about the past events of the past few years.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Xi left the Chen clan ancestral hall alone, where Qiu Xuanshu was already waiting.
"Uncle Master."
Qiu Xuanshu stepped forward to greet him, "All your old friends from back then have arrived and are now waiting in the Daohuang Academy."
Chen Xi nodded. He knew that when he returned, those friends from back then would definitely come after hearing the news, and this was exactly what he expected.
After all, since he left the fairy world and went to the ancient divine realm, it had been too many years since he had seen those friends from back then.
"Where's Uncle Ji Yu?"
Suddenly, Chen Xi realized a problem.
"Master Ji Yu's uncle said that now that the world has been settled, he has no worries anymore. He drifted away as early as the day before yesterday, saying that he was going to the Mother Land of Ten Thousand Daos to find the ultimate secret."
Qiu Xuanshu replied.
"That's fine."
Chen Xi no longer hesitated and left the Chen clan with Qiu Xuanshu.
Daohuang Academy.
In the vast and vast dojo outside the Zhengming Hall, many figures have already gathered, densely packed, all looking forward to it.
clang…
Along with a clear bell, the atmosphere in the whole place suddenly became solemn and quiet.
Immediately, with everyone's expectant and anxious eyes, Chen Xi's tall figure appeared in front of the Zhengming Hall.
At this moment, everyone present was filled with emotions, some were excited and happy, some were sighing with emotion, some were laughing with joy... just to name a few.
Chen Xi stood there, looking at the figures standing on the dojo, and countless emotions surged through his heart, making it difficult for him to control himself.
Time seems to be frozen at this moment.
Chen Xi's eyes gradually swept across, and he saw Du Qingxi, Song Lin, Duan Muze, Liuyun Sword Sect Supreme Elder Bei Heng, Headmaster Ling Kongzi, Xuanjing Old Turtle King, Qingqiu Fox King...
At that time, Chen Xi was still a young man who had just embarked on the path of cultivation in Songyan City. He overcame all obstacles and entered Longyuan City in Southern Xinjiang, and won the first place in the Southern Xinjiang Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition, making him famous in Southern Xinjiang. .
At that time, it was Du Qingxi, Song Lin, Duanmuze and other old friends who witnessed Chen Xi's growth!
That memory belonged to Chen Xi when he was a boy. His first old friends were all here. This feeling was indescribably beautiful.
Soon, Chen Xi saw the figures of Zhao Qinghe, Zhou Zhou, Ling Yu, Huangfu Qingying, Yu Xuanchen and others.
At that time, Chen Xi had already risen in Southern Xinjiang and was well-known in the Great Chu Dynasty. At a star conference in Jinxiu City, he won the championship in one fell swoop and shocked the world.
And friends like Zhao Qinghe witnessed all this!
They walked side by side, left the Chu Dynasty, and entered the ancient battlefield. They also became close friends of life and death in the ancient battlefield!
As his eyes continued to move, Chen Xi saw Wen Huating, the master of Jiuhua Sword Sect, and a group of senior brothers and sisters on Xihua Peak, including senior brother Huo Mo Le, second senior brother Lu Sheng, third senior brother Yi Chenzi, fourth senior brother Duan Yi, Fifth senior sister Ajiu...
I saw Meng Wei and Moya from the Jiuyou Tribe, as well as the teenagers from the Jiuyou Tribe who were divided into two camps, Zidian and Qingshuang, by Chen Xi himself back then. However, these teenagers are now adults.
In the crowd, even Fox Princess Xueyan, heirs of Jiuhua Sword Sect Shen Langya, An Ke, and An Wei were also there.
These people had witnessed all Chen Xi's experiences in the Xuanhuan Domain. At that time, Chen Xi was still a descendant of the Jiuhua Sword Sect. At that time, they might not have thought that they would have so many conflicts with Chen Xi. Sociable
Later, Emperor Huangquan of the Netherworld ruled Nuwa Cui Qingning...
Ye Tang, Zhao Mengli, Fozi Zhenlu, Ji Xuanbing...
The descendants of Nuwa Palace, Shi Yu and Xiang Liuli...
Daohuang Academy teaches Zhou Zhili, Chi Cangsheng, Hua Jiankong...
Almost all of the old friends from those days gathered in the dojo in front of the Zhengming Hall. Looking at those familiar faces and thinking about the experiences of the past years, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel in a trance and was stunned.
At this time, those friends and old friends all looked at Chen Xi, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
Taking care of each other, the past is like a dream.
Now that we meet again, my mood is different.
"Bring the wine! You and I will not return until we get drunk today!"
Chen Xi suddenly laughed, his heart was filled with excitement. At this moment, there was no need to say anything, and he should drink the wine in his cup instead!
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
Everyone present agreed with a roar.
On that day, according to the history of Daohuang Academy: "The Supreme Lord and all his friends drank freely here. They rested for seven days and seven nights. All the friends were drunk and slept on the ground. Only the Supreme Lord leaned on Qingming and drank to himself. Just laugh and say nothing. The friendship and meaning in it are not enough for outsiders to understand."
