Beast-controlling fairy clan
Chapter 12 The Supreme Elder
Jiufeng Ridge, Baozhi Peak.
On this day, after Zhou Chun came out of the Jingling Pavilion, as usual, he first returned to his residence to meditate to restore his mana.
But he had just meditated for less than two quarters of an hour when he felt that the formation in the courtyard had been touched by outsiders.
When he stopped and stood up and opened the courtyard door, he saw Zhou Yong waiting for him anxiously.
Seeing him coming out at this time, Dangjie said in a deep voice: "The clan leader has given an order. Except for the monks guarding the Jingling Pavilion and the Mountain Guard Array, all the clan members in the mountain gate must gather at Pagoda Peak. There are important things that need to be announced in public! "
After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "I have to inform the others. Brother Chun, please rush to Pagoda Peak as soon as possible."
Is there something important that needs to be announced in public?
Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with suspicion, he glanced at Zhou Yong's leaving figure, immediately packed up, and set off for Pagoda Peak.
When he reached the top of Pagoda Peak, he found that dozens of Zhou family monks had gathered here.
They ranged from centenarians to teenagers, all of them had blank expressions in their eyes. Apparently, like Zhou Chun, they were all summoned here suddenly.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun also gave up the idea of looking for someone to inquire, immediately said hello to some familiar tribesmen, and then waited together.
After waiting like this for more than half an hour, when the number of Zhou family monks gathered on the mountain was close to a hundred, the patriarch Zhou Guyi and the three elders finally walked out of the "Zhongping Hall".
But just when Zhou Chun and others thought that they were about to announce the reasons, the clan leader Zhou Guyi and the other four foundation-building monks suddenly bowed to the top of the mountain and saluted: "Welcome the Supreme Elder to leave seclusion."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of green light rose into the sky from the top of the mountain, and soon fell to the mountainside, where an old man in white hair and blue clothes appeared.
This old man in green is the current pillar of the Zhou family, Zhou Wende, a monk from the Purple Mansion.
Although he looks a bit old, Zhou Wende's lifespan is actually not that high among the monks of the Zifu period.
The lifespan of monks in the Zifu period generally exceeds four hundred years, and some can even live to nearly five hundred years.
Zhou Wende is only over 200 years old now. The reason why he has gray hair is because when he reached the Zifu stage of cultivation, he was already over 200 years old and was approaching the end of his life for a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Speaking of which, Zhou Wende was able to break through the Zifu period more than ten years ago. For the current Zhou family, it can be said that the Zhou family is blessed by God.
Because if it weren’t for Zhou Wende, a monk at the Zifu stage who dared to take the lead, when the Sanjue Sect was split up, there wouldn’t have been many monks from the Zhou family who would have dared to face Yu Jinghua, who was at the Golden Core stage, and wouldn’t have dared to say that he wanted to commit suicide. The words to form a faction and establish the Zhou family came.
Therefore, in today's Zhou family, Zhou Wende, the supreme elder, is still very popular and respected.
Seeing him appear at this time, under the leadership of the patriarch Zhou Guyi, all the monks of the Zhou family present bowed to him and saluted: "Junior, pay homage to the Supreme Elder."
"Everyone in the tribe doesn't need to be polite, just follow me and enter the ancestral temple first!"
Zhou Wende waved his sleeves and took the lead towards the ancestral temple, which had been closed since it was established.
As a cultivating family organized by family, the Zhou family's ancestral temple is naturally a place of emphasis on construction. All the materials used are precious, and it is also protected by a separate magic circle.
Normally, only the Supreme Elder Zhou Wende and the clan leader Zhou Guyi are qualified to open this ancestral temple.
At this time, Zhou Wende opened the door of the ancestral temple. Zhou Chun and other Zhou family monks followed him and saw the scene inside the ancestral temple for the first time.
After entering the door, you can see a square patio with a few lotus leaves floating in the middle pool. The lotus leaves are as green as jade and have an aura that is compelling.
Under the lotus leaves, in the clear pool, several huge golden carp were swimming in it, and their bodies also exuded a faint aura.
Looking at the long corridors on both sides of the patio, the walls of the corridors use murals and texts to describe the origins of the Zhou family and record some of the feats performed by the ancestors of the Zhou family.
For example, an ancestor of the Zhou family named Zhou Tong once killed a fourth-level dragon that was causing harm to the world of immortality, together with two friends in the Golden Core stage.
On the mural, you can see the Zhou family ancestor slaying a dragon.
Another example is that an ancestor of the Zhou family named Zhou Xia once visited a strange place and brought back a spiritual insect called the "Jade Spirit Bee", which greatly benefited the Zhou family.
On the mural, you can also see the ancestor of the Zhou family raising bees and collecting honey.
In short, the ancestors of the Zhou family who can appear in the form of murals in this ancestral temple are all beings who have made great contributions to the Zhou family, and they deserve to be remembered forever by the younger generations of Zhou family monks.
"People must not forget their origins, let alone their ancestors!"
"Although we, the immortal cultivators, seek immortality and immortality, as human beings, we must put people first, conduct human affairs, and follow the path of humanity."
"If it weren't for the contributions of the ancestors of the Zhou family on these two walls of merit, how would you and I have the chance to stand here today? How could we have this level of cultivation?"
"So, no matter how high your cultivation level is in the future, no matter where you are, don't forget the achievements of your ancestors, and don't forget whose blood is flowing in you!"
"Of course I hope that one day in the future, one of your names will appear on this merit wall, so that the spirits of your ancestors in heaven and the descendants of the Zhou family will be proud of you!"
The powerful and deep voice spoke slowly from Zhou Wende's mouth, echoing leisurely in the ancestral temple.
All Zhou family monks who were in the ancestral temple felt a strange emotion in their hearts after hearing his words.
Some old people had a look of shame on their faces and their heads were lowered, as if they felt ashamed of their ancestors.
Some teenagers and young people couldn't help but puff up their chests, with longing in their eyes.
Even Zhou Chun's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a little touched.
Worshiping ancestors and honoring ancestors were things that the Chinese people respected and recognized even in his previous life.
I still remember that when he was admitted to college, his parents, grandparents and other blood-related relatives were all happy and told everyone about it, and the villagers also praised him for his great achievements.
That should be the highlight of his life!
Unfortunately, after entering the society, that kind of thing never happened again. In fact, because I never got married, I didn’t even dare to go back home often!
Thinking about the events of his previous life, Zhou Chun followed the crowd to the main hall of the ancestral temple before he knew it.
Because the Zhou family has a history of more than a thousand years, and there have been countless monks in the past.
Therefore, those who can leave memorial tablets in this main hall, except for the first and second generation ancestors, are all those who have cultivated at the foundation level or above.
The tablets of those monks of the Zhou family who have not reached the foundation-building stage are enshrined in the side halls on both sides of the main hall of the ancestral temple.
But in fact, because mortals are not allowed to enter the ancestral temple, it is difficult for the descendants of many tablets in the ancestral temple to find their counterparts among the monks present today.
Take Zhou Chun as an example. His parents and grandparents in this body were both mortals, and it took him five generations to become an immortal cultivator with spiritual roots.
If he didn't look up the genealogy, he really wouldn't know the names of his ancestors who were cultivators of more than three generations in his lineage, and where the tablets are now enshrined.
Among the monks from the Zhou family present here, there are also many monks with similar conditions to him.
So in order not to affect the unity of the clan members, Zhou Wende simply led everyone from the main hall to bow and offer incense to all the tablets.
After this set of sacrificial rituals was completed, everyone returned to the main hall of the ancestral temple. Zhou Wende slowly turned around, facing away the spiritual tablets of the ancestors behind him, and looked at everyone with a serious face.
When everyone saw this, their hearts tightened, knowing that he was going to announce something big.
Immediately, everyone cheered up and waited with bated breath.
"My Zhou family has existed since our ancestors founded the Sanjue Sect. It can be said that my Zhou family has been passing on the Sanjue Sect for as many years as it has been passed down."
"For so many years, my Zhou family has shared weal and woe with the Sanjue Sect. In order to maintain the inheritance of the sect and maintain the unity of the sect, the ancestors of the Zhou family have always intentionally downplayed the influence of the family."
"Now that the Sanjue Sect is gone, the Zhou family has suffered a great disaster and split into two, and the clan has fallen apart."
"Since we, the Zhou family members of Jiufengling, have inherited the orthodoxy of the Zhou family and inherited the incense and sacrifices of our ancestors, in the future we must use the family as the foundation and the blood as the link to work together to create glory and bring Zhou a glorious future. We will carry forward our family and make our ancestors and descendants proud of us!"
When Zhou Wende said this, he paused slightly and looked at the clansmen who were listening carefully.
Then his tone suddenly dropped, and he said solemnly: "So in order to carry forward the Zhou family, for all clan members to practice more smoothly and conveniently in the future, and for the Zhou family to become stronger and better, change is imperative!"
"After several months of discussions between me and the clan leaders and elders, most of the changes that need to be made have been preliminarily formulated. Today, I will announce it in front of the ancestors."
It is very important to follow up on the new book issue. I hope that all readers can follow up on the updated chapters every day, please!
