Chapter 624: Is This a Hidden Family?
The "corpse" suddenly came to life, and the high priests and clan leaders and family heads present were extremely shocked and surprised. Over the past hundred years, some people have tried to forcefully open the door to the whirlpool from the outside world, but without exception, the corpses None can be found.
But this girl not only forcefully opened the whirlpool door, but also woke up.
Why is this not shocking and surprising to everyone?
Wei Yuanwei looked at the people kneeling in front of her and felt a sense of depression and heaviness.
What on earth is this place?
Wasn't she swept into the bottom of the lake by the whirlpool? And why do you appear in this place?
The panic in Wei Yuanwei's eyes was quickly replaced by a touch of calmness and calmness.
Although there were too many doubts in her heart, Wei Yuanwei could only suppress them in her heart.
The three high priests on the top of the mountain have presided over sacrificial ceremonies for so many years, and obviously have not encountered this situation.
An old but rich voice came from the top of the mountain: "Catch this woman who ruined the sacrificial ceremony!"
As soon as Wei Yuanwei stood on the rock from the water, someone immediately came up and grabbed Wei Yuanwei.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Wei Yuanwei looked at the person walking over and directly raised her foot to kick the person's knee. However, the person on the other side was obviously not an ordinary servant.
Wei Yuanwei's attack was easily dodged.
However, Wei Yuanwei's eyes were immediately attracted by the spirit bead emitting lavender light on the visitor's wrist.
Did she accidentally come to the hidden family?
Wei Yuanwei's face was full of disbelief, and she allowed the two of them to take her away from the ceremony.
The following sacrifices were still held as usual, but during the ceremony, a woman suddenly appeared who opened the whirlpool door and survived, which undoubtedly caused a turmoil in the entire hidden family.
As soon as the sacrificial ceremony ended, almost everyone in the hidden family knew what happened during the sacrificial ceremony.
Everyone who heard it looked horrified and shocked.
They also doubted the identity of the woman.
The Hidden World Family has a clear hierarchy and division of labor. Although there are five clan leaders who jointly manage the Hidden World Family, each clan leader manages his or her own area. Everyone does not interfere with each other and supervises each other.
Under the five clan heads are the nobles, and under the nobles are the noble families, and the noble families govern the seven major clans below.
The seven major clans are divided into: Cang, Yu, Bai, Jing, Shu, Wu, and Li
This is just like how schools divide classes according to their grades. The higher you are ranked, the stronger you will naturally be.
Therefore, people in the hidden family do not have surnames. Before passing the test, all people have the surname Li, but once they pass the test, the surname will become Wu.
This surname is equivalent to a label integrated with the name.
Therefore, this seemingly hidden family in paradise is actually full of struggles since birth.
"Which clan are you from? Before the sacrificial ceremony, you deliberately hid in Qingtanzhong to attract the attention of the clan leader, right?" A cold and hard tone came to Wei Yuanwei's ears.
Wei Yuanwei took a look at the surrounding environment, and when faced with the question, she raised her lips coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about? I don't know why I came here suddenly."
"You still want to make excuses. If you don't tell us now, after we find out, the head of your clan will be punished just like you, and you will even be demoted to the Li clan again!"
The person in front of him had a cold look on his face.
Wei Yuanwei still shook her head: "Is this a hidden family?"
The person in front of him was stunned, as if he was very annoyed by Wei Yuanwei's answer.
Without this person's answer, just looking at this person's expression, Wei Yuanwei was basically sure that she had come to the Hidden World Family.
"My name is Wei Iris. I don't know why I came here. I only know that after I fell into the lake, a whirlpool emerged from the bottom of the lake and sucked me in. Then when I woke up, it appeared There!" Wei Yuanwei said, recalling the scene at that time.
Although Wei Yuanwei was a little frightened by the situation at that time, it was fine as long as she was still alive.
"Wu Jun, the patriarch asked us to bring people to the ancestral hall!" In the dark room, the candles lit on the wall suddenly reflected two tall figures.
As soon as Wei Yuanwei walked into the ancestral hall, it was like walking into the Hall of Hell. The atmosphere was very depressing, making people want to escape quickly after taking the first step.
Walking on the marble-paved floor, almost the entire silhouette of Wei Yuanwei can be seen.
There were three steps in front of her, and on each step were people with dignified and solemn faces.
The people sitting on the highest steps are naturally the five clan heads, followed by the three noble families and the heads of the four famous families.
The moment Wei Yuanwei stepped into the ancestral hall, the voices of the original discussions disappeared, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on Wei Yuanwei who walked in.
There is inquiry, meditation, speculation, and doubt.
"Which clan are you from? Since you dare to do such a thing during the sacrificial ceremony, who is the person who helped you enter Qingtan?" The dull voice came from the head of one of the four prominent families.
That sentence is like Mount Tai, weighing heavily on a person's body.
However, Wei Yuanwei's body seemed weak, but she had no fear.
His face was cold and calm.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been frightened by this momentum.
Wei Yuanwei walked to the center of the hall, raised her eyes and glanced at the heads of the four prominent families sitting on dragon chairs made of ebony, and took a breath.
He said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "First, I am not from a hermit family. Second, I don't know why I entered that clear pool. I only know that when I fell into the lake, a whirlpool suddenly rolled up, and then I Came here!"
Wei Yuanwei's words were clear and unhurried.
However, the people sitting on the higher level were particularly angry and surprised.
"This is nonsense. If you are not from the Hidden World Family, how could you possibly join the Hidden World Family?" The head of the Zhu Clan, one of the four prominent families, suddenly stood up from his seat and slapped the back of the chair hard. , scolded angrily.
"I don't know why I entered here, but...my father seems to be from a hidden family, and my mother is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she fell in love with a mysterious man. Later, that man I left my mother and left a pair of earrings to my mother before leaving, but my father has never come back since then!" Wei Yuanwei said while her eyes scanned the faces of the heads of the four prominent families. .
