Chapter 1271 Xuan Ming
1271
In the northern plateau of Xia Kingdom, under the blue sky, in the boundless grassland, there is a beautiful lake like a pearl in the grassland.
This area is like a fairyland on earth, but it is detached from the world, and no tourists can approach it, and it is not specially marked on the map.
Xia Guo officially claimed that this was a military weapons testing base, but it was not.
This is the ancestral land of one of the four major clans, the Xuanming clan.
A huge statue of a mythical beast guarding the center of the lake, with a snake head, a turtle body, and four legs like a pillar of support, lifelike, majestic and heroic!
On the three sides of the lake, there are a large number of ancient buildings built of gray and white rocks. The ancient and magnificent buildings show the long history of the Xuanming clan.
The closer the building is to the north, the closer the clan members live to the core of the Xuanming clan. All the members of the main line live in the north.
At the highest point of the building complex in the north stands a magnificent hall.
Outside the main hall, seven huge stone pillars are engraved with the totems of Qisu Dou, Niu, Nv, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi in the north.
From bottom to top, there are a total of 365 complete steps carved with white jade!
This is the highest power center of the Xuanming clan, the Zhenwu Hall!
The main hall echoes the Xuanming beast statue in the lake, and they are both the highest point of the Xuanming clan!
At this time, in the square outside the Zhenwu Hall, there were thousands of Xuanming people standing solemnly at the bottom of the steps, and they were divided into rows.
With reverence and excitement in their eyes, they faced the statue of the beast in the direction of the lake.
At the front of the thousand clansmen, a man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a white robe and imposing manner, is the current clan leader of the Zhou clan, Zhou Tianqi!
Those around Zhou Tianqi are all the core members and members of the presbytery of Zhou's current supervisors.
Zhou Tianqi stared nervously at the back of the Xuanming statue with bloodshot eyes.
Suddenly, a "shell" on Xuan Ming's back shattered, revealing an exit!
It turned out that the shell was actually a door made of condensed black ice!
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures soared into the sky from the exit, and flew out to the back of the Xuanming Divine Beast.
When Zhou Tianqi saw the dozens of people appearing, he hurriedly took the lead and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "Welcome all the ancestors to leave the customs!!"
The people of the Zhou clan present, no matter what lineage they belonged to, all knelt on the ground and shouted passionately, "Welcome the ancestor to leave the customs!!"
When the members of the Zhou clan raised their heads again, a scene that surprised them appeared!
On the magnificent lake, a water wall more than ten meters wide and tens of meters high was evoked out of thin air!
After the lake water was aroused, it quickly froze into an ice wall. The ice wall weighing hundreds of tons and thousands of tons formed a broad avenue that sloped downwards, extending from the mysterious beast to the edge of the lake!
As if in an instant, an ancient city wall appeared on the lake!
The air around the entire lake also dropped several degrees because of the giant wall of black ice!
Led by eight ancestors, seven men and one woman, the remaining ten ancestors also walked up the Xuanbing Avenue and walked towards the square.
Thousands of Zhou clansmen have been dumbfounded, and the water turns into ice, which is the effect of Zhou's ancestral exercise "Xuanming Tiangang" and the basic ability of Xuanming's blood.
Most Zhou clan members can do this.
However, to instantly control hundreds of thousands of tons of lake water and turn it into such a magnificent road of ice and sky, and it must be so smooth and stable, is a realm that they can't even imagine!
The eight ancestors took the lead from the downhill ice road to the square.
The most important patriarch, with black beard and hair, looked ten years younger than Zhou Tianqi, and was dressed in a black costume, but it could be seen that it was a costume hundreds of years ago.
Zhou Tianqi and other core members of the Zhou family felt short of breath when they saw the ancestors. Although they are all close relatives of their blood, these people are almost only seen in portraits!
More importantly, it is the oppressive force of the strong, which still makes it difficult for them to adapt at once.
Originally, Zhou Tianqi, as the head of the family, thought of a lot of congratulatory words, but when he really faced this group of ancestors, he didn't know where to start.
Patriarch Zhou Tianqi didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak. The scene suddenly became strangely quiet.
On the contrary, the ancestors, seeing the more than a thousand descendants present, all looked calm and composed, some were quite pleased, while others were quite dissatisfied.
"You are... Changfeng?"
Seeing that Zhou Tianqi was silent, the ancestor in charge frowned slightly, and asked first.
Zhou Tianqi straightened his face, and hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and said, "Back to Tengyun's great-grandfather, the grandson is Tianqi! My father Changfeng passed away due to illness seventeen years ago..."
"Oh?" Zhou Tengyun showed a bit of regret, "So you are the old man's great-grandson, but how do you know the old man?"
Zhou Tianqi said excitedly: "Back to your great-grandfather, the portrait you left more than three hundred years ago is not much different from your current appearance! Every year, my grandson brings our descendants to your study to pay their respects. portrait!"
"So that's how it is...you really have a heart," Zhou Tengyun nodded with a smile.
Zhou Tianqi was praised by the ancestor, and he was as excited as a child, his face flushed.
However, soon Zhou Tianqi's expression darkened again, and he said in a low voice: "It is really incompetent for the grandchildren to ask the ancestors to leave the customs.
But now that our Xuanming Clan is in crisis, we have no choice but to ask our ancestors to preside over the overall situation! "
But Zhou Tengyun said indifferently: "You don't have to blame yourself, we planned to go out of the seclusion in the next few days, and what you reported will not affect our seclusion and cultivation."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tianqi and the rest of the elders of the Zhou clan looked at each other in blank dismay, a little surprised.
Another rough-looking ancestor on the side laughed and said: "If a bunch of little things are just to deal with an enemy, why should I wait for all my brothers and sisters to go out?
Even if brother Tengyun doesn't go out, I, Zhou Tengxing, will settle the matter. "
Zhou Tianqi was stunned, quickly bowed his head and saluted, and said sadly: "So this is Patriarch Tengxing, Tianqi is incompetent, your grandson, Elder Changguang, was killed by the evil Ye Fan this time!"
Zhou Tengxing raised his eyebrows, "Do I have a grandson named Changguang? Huh? I don't even remember it myself... Hey, death is death! Life and death are fate!
What's more, people who practice martial arts are sailing against the current, if they don't advance, they will retreat! If he loses to a younger generation, then it is not a pity to die!
Hehe... But the old man really wants to see, what kind of monster has come out of the Ye family, so you all hurried to invite me to wait for it! "
All the elders of the Zhou family showed bitterness. They also knew that for the ancestors, they didn't really care too much about the life and death of their descendants. After all, they had experienced too much and had too many descendants.
Zhou Tianqi asked boldly with some doubts at this moment: "Great-grandfather, dare to ask why this time, you and all the ancestors left the customs one after another?"
