Chapter 10 Ancestral Worship Ceremony
He has been practicing Lei Di Jue non-stop, and on the sixth day, Ye Chen broke through the fourth-order barrier again, and his profound energy level reached the fifth-order level.
"Finally reached the fifth level." Ye Chen circulated the profound energy in his body, and the profound energy became stronger several times, which made him quite excited. The state lasted for ten seconds.
Ye Kongyan is currently only at the peak level of the fifth stage. With the quality of the profound energy in his body and the secret skill of the family such as the body of Yuan Lei, he should be able to defeat Ye Kongyan.
The fifth level is pretty good in the whole family. Among the thousands of people in Yejiabao, there are only more than 200 people who can reach the fifth level. These two hundred people are the pillars of the family. If you can reach the sixth level before the age of eighteen, you still have hope to go one step further. If you fail to reach the sixth level before the age of eighteen, the meridians will harden, and it will be difficult to hit higher levels.
After being baptized by the profound energy in the flying knife, Ye Chen's body has reached the state of pure yang, which is very suitable for martial arts, so naturally there is no need to worry about it.
After the fifth level, the speed of condensing profound energy slowed down, but there was no rush to practice such things. Ye Chen could only practice slowly, and at the same time kept practicing Yuanlei Body and Bengleipo and Storm Thunder Fist. Two kinds of martial arts.
Although his strength has been greatly improved, Ye Chen is not proud at all, and he is still practicing unremittingly. The three years since his meridians were cut off, he has tempered his mind very calmly.
During this period of time, Yejiabao was full of busy scenes, and the clansmen were preparing for the grand ceremony of worshiping the ancestors. Although the economy of Yejiabao is extremely difficult now, the grand ceremony of worshiping the ancestors still cannot be spared. Those who were in charge of managing the family business abroad also returned to Ye Family Castle one after another, including Ye Chen's two older brothers.
Ye Chen's two elder brothers failed to reach the sixth level before the age of eighteen, and only stayed at the peak of the fifth level, so they were sent outside to manage some of the family's properties.
They wanted to come to see Ye Chen, but they were all stopped by Ye Zhantian. At this time, they didn't know that Ye Chen's meridians had recovered. Before the ancestor worship ceremony, the news of Ye Chen's meridian recovery had to be kept secret. People know better.
Knowing that the selection of the successor patriarch is about to take place, all the youngsters who are qualified to participate have also stepped up their cultivation, hoping to make a big splash in the ancestor worship ceremony.
Yejiabao has been busy up and down for a long time, and finally ushered in the ancestor worship ceremony that is extremely important to Yejiabao and held every five years.
In the central square, there were crowds of people, and a huge altar was set up in the middle, and a dozen tribesmen were slaughtering pigs and sheep beside them, preparing to sacrifice to their ancestors.
Ye Zhantian and others also took their seats on the edge of the altar. There are sixteen seats on the edge of the altar, and fifteen people are seated. The most central position is empty there.
Ye Chen and other juniors stood behind the chairs of Ye Zhantian and others.
"Third brother, how is your health recently?" It was Ye Mu, Ye Chen's second brother who spoke. Ye Mu is five years older than Ye Chen, and he failed to advance to the sixth level before the age of eighteen. He was sent by Ye Zhantian to Donglin County to manage Ye's grocery store. Be free and easy, don't have a style. As soon as Ye Mu came back, he wanted to visit Ye Chen, but he never saw Ye Chen's face. At this moment, he looked at Ye Chen with concern in his eyes.
Hearing Ye Mu's concerned words, Ye Chen's heart warmed up, and he nodded, "It's much better."
"I knew that no setbacks will trouble the third brother. This is brought to you by the eldest brother and the second brother!" Ye Peng on the side embraced Ye Chen and quietly stuffed a brocade box to Ye Chen. He is the third brother. The eldest among them is the most honest and steady-tempered, and has always taken good care of his younger brothers.
Ye Chen refused for a while, but still didn't push it away. He opened the brocade box and took a look. It was two Qi Gathering Pills. Ye Peng and Ye Mu are outside, their income is not much, and they save money for a whole year, so they can only afford two Qi Gathering Pills.
Ye Chen felt sore in his heart,
Although the two elder brothers didn't come back often, they cared about him very much.
"Brother, I can't use the Qi Gathering Pill now."
"Why can't you use it? You have to consume so many Qi Gathering Pills every month! They are all my brothers, so don't be polite to your elder brother!" Ye Peng said seriously.
"I..." Ye Chen really wanted to tell the two elder brothers that his meridians had recovered, but there were too many people talking, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The care of the two elder brothers made Ye Chen feel the true brotherhood. Looking at the brocade box in his palm, Ye Chen was silent for a moment, put the brocade box in his arms, and hid it close to him. In Ye Chen's eyes, they are not Just two Qi Gathering Pills!
"Patriarch, the old patriarch is here!" A clansman rushed up, his face full of excitement.
"Uncle Six is finally here." Ye Zhantian smiled slightly, everyone stood up suddenly, and looked under the altar, only to see those clansmen retreating to both sides one after another, an old man with white beard and hair, but full of energy, wearing a gray robe, Walking along the way like a dragon and a tiger.
"Hello old patriarch!"
"Hello old patriarch!"
The clansmen on both sides looked excited. The old patriarch Ye Cangxuan is undoubtedly a god-like existence in their hearts. The ninth-level master is the top existence in Yejiabao and the guardian force of the family. If there is no such huge old patriarch With deterrence in place, Yejiabao cannot be defended by Ye Zhantian and others alone. It must have been annexed very early.
One or two words can't express the admiration of the people for Ye Cangxuan.
"Sixth Uncle!" Ye Zhantian and the others bent down and bowed.
Ye Cangxuan waved his hand and laughed heartily: "It's been a long time since I went back to Yejiabao. Seeing that the clansmen are still the same, Lao Huai is relieved, so I can avoid these customary etiquette."
"Seeing that Uncle Six is in good health, the boys are all relieved." Ye Zhantian could only call himself a boy in front of Ye Cangxuan.
"Sixth Uncle, you came back all the way, so you didn't bring a gift for your nephew, right?" Ye Zhanlong said with a smile, he was closest to Ye Cangxuan, and others would not dare to talk to Ye Cangxuan like that.
"Of course you won't be missing." Ye Cangxuan laughed, and threw a brocade box to Ye Zhanlong.
Ye Zhanlong opened the brocade box, and a strange fragrance wafted out. His eyebrows trembled, showing excitement, and he quickly put the things away: "Thank you Uncle Six."
Ye Moyang on the side just took a glance, and felt an urge to vomit blood due to jealousy. What Ye Cangxuan gave to Ye Zhanlong was actually a Qi Condensation Pill. You must know that he managed to get one from Yunjiapu. Qi Condensation Pill, Ye Cangxuan actually gave Ye Zhanlong one casually.
Ye Cangxuan loved Ye Zhanlong even more than his own son since he was a child, and other people present did not dare to ask Ye Cangxuan for anything.
"I have prepared some things for each of you, and I will send them to you at that time." Ye Cangxuan said, the things given to other people are naturally not as precious as the things given to Ye Zhanlong. But others dare not say anything.
They talked for a while, and then took their seats.
While everyone was talking, the following celebrations had already begun, with dragon and lion dances and firecrackers going off, it was very lively.
"During the five years I was away, Yejiabao has been somewhat depressed. Could it be that a powerful enemy has invaded?" Ye Cangxuan glanced at Ye Zhantian next to him and asked.
Ye Moyang smiled slightly, finally getting to the point.
"Three years ago, Ye Chen was attacked and his meridians were cut off..." Ye Zhantian said sadly, "We were worried that it would affect the sixth uncle's cultivation, so we didn't say anything about it."
Ye Cangxuan's body suddenly erupted with a powerful aura, frightened and angry, and asked in a deep voice: "Who did it?" Five years ago, he used profound energy to probe Ye Chen's meridians. , the best talent, the best chance to hit the ninth rank, the future prosperity of the family will fall on Ye Chen's shoulders, but Ye Chen was unexpectedly attacked by someone, which is tantamount to cutting off the future of the Ye family.
"Not yet determined." Ye Zhantian said.
"If I let the old man know who did it, I will ask them for an explanation!" Ye Cangxuan said in a deep voice, and asked Ye Zhantian, "I wonder how that child Ye Chen is doing now?"
Ye Zhantian was about to speak when Ye Moyang suddenly interjected: "When Ye Chen was rescued, his meridians were cut off. Three years ago, the patriarch ordered that the whole clan try their best to treat them. In the past few years, the property of the Ye Family Fort has gone from ten to five or six, so the Sixth Uncle came in, and the Ye Family Fort fell into a slump."
Hearing what Ye Moyang said, Ye Zhanlong, Ye Zhanxiong and others all showed displeasure. Ye Moyang clearly wanted to use the hand of the old patriarch to question Ye Zhantian.
"But we can't ignore Chen'er's life and leave it alone!" Ye Zhanlong said aside.
Ye Cangxuan looked at Ye Moyang indifferently, and asked: "If you were the patriarch and encountered the same thing, what would you do?"
Ye Moyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Ye Cangxuan's words, if he had been given the position of patriarch back then, the Ye family castle would not have fallen to what it is now, and said: "How can personal interests override the interests of the family! "
Ye Cangxuan said indifferently: "That's why I didn't give you the position of patriarch at the beginning. What is an affair, what is a family interest? What is a clan? If the clan can't provide shelter for the clansmen, it doesn't even care whether the clansmen live or die. Then what's the use of the clan? If there are people with foreign surnames who bully my Ye family, you should use all your strength to deal with them, even if you die, you will have no regrets. Cai, who is poor and destitute, must be treated, this is the patriarch of my Ye family, the backbone of the family! Even if Zhan Tian retires, the next patriarch of the Ye family will do the same!"
Ye Moyang's face turned red, and he wanted to argue, but he moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Ye Chen stood among the juniors. Ye Cangxuan's words made Ye Chen's eyes moist. From today on, he has a strong respect for this uncle who has not shown his face for a long time. Ye Chen secretly engraved the word "clan" in his heart for the kindness of his uncles and many brothers.
"Old patriarch, patriarch, before worshiping the ancestors, the younger generation will hold a martial arts competition to select the successor patriarch. Is it time to start?" A clansman next to him asked.
Ye Cangxuan sighed, since Ye Chen's meridian has been severed and it is irreversible, then it can only be forgotten, and see if there can be a leader among the younger generation, this Yejiabao wants to survive in troubled times. To survive in the midst of the crisis, someone still needs to stand up. The news that Ye Zhanxiong's daughter Ye Xuan obtained the entry qualification of Qingyun Sect made him quite relieved. He waved his hand and said, "Let's begin."
