Chapter 0643 Blood

Ye Fan has heard that in some remote places, or some backward areas, there will be such ancient clan rules that continue to this day.

However, Zhoujia Village belongs to the economically developed Jiang Province, and it takes only an hour to drive to the county seat. How could such a situation exist?

Moreover, no news media has reported such a village, which is enough to show that either the villagers keep it secret, or... there is some force behind it that has been hiding such a village.

"Hehe...it's hard to imagine, but that's how it is. Our village is called a village, but there is no village head, only the patriarch.

The patriarch is elected by every household in the village, while the elders of the clan are appointed by the family, and have always been decided by the family. "

"My family? What is that?" Su Qingxue asked doubtfully.

Zhou Xinjiang said: "As I said, our Zhou family has a long history. According to the elders of the clan, it has been thousands of years. We existed before there were many written records.

Think about it, thousands of years of inheritance, how could it be possible for people from such a village? The Zhou family's sect certainly couldn't house so many people.

Therefore, our Zhou family has clan villages in various places, and each village has clan elders, which are managed by the family. "

"What? There are all over the country? Where is Zhou's family?" Su Qingxue was surprised.

Zhou Xinjiang shook his head and sighed: "We don't know, we are just one of the many Zhou clan members, the lowest clan members.

If you want to know where your family is, you must have enough talent, and if you are selected by the elders of the clan, you will be sent to your family if you think it is a talent you can create."

When Ye Fan heard this, he suddenly thought of something, as if an electric current rushed through his mind.

"Grandpa...you..."

Ye Fan suddenly remembered that when he and Su Qingxue rescued Zhou Xinjiang, the various ancient martial arts and true energy that he and Su Qingxue showed did not seem to surprise Zhou Xinjiang much. The old man did not ask much about the ancient martial arts from the beginning to the end. matter.

Zhou Xinjiang smiled and said, "Son, are you only thinking about it now? Hehe... I know, you all have practiced ancient martial arts, right?"

Su Qingxue also came to her senses, and said in astonishment: "Grandpa, you mean... the Zhou family chose talented people who can practice martial arts?!"

"Yes." Zhou Xinjiang nodded with a smile, "Our Zhou family has a tradition of practicing ancient martial arts since ancient times. The reason why our family is our family is that apart from the purest bloodlines, we are the children of our family with a special bloodline.

It is said that this bloodline is beyond ordinary people, and it is the power passed down from the ancestors in ancient times. Once awakened, it will be extremely powerful.

When I was young, I heard a clan elder say that when we were drunk, our Zhou family still existed like a fairy in ancient times, calling the wind and calling the rain, omnipotent...

However, it was just that one time, and our lower-level clansmen don't understand the general affairs of our own family. "

If it was before, neither Ye Fan nor Su Qingxue would believe it, but last time, Ye Fan encountered the tomb of "Shen Xi", a descendant of a legendary immortal in that mysterious ancient tomb.

In addition, the mysterious bloodline reminded Ye Fan of Xiao Xiner's Phoenix bloodline, and the mysterious and unknown background behind Xiao Xiner...

Ye Fan swallowed, although he felt it was unbelievable, but he believed it a little, and didn't think Zhou Xinjiang was talking nonsense.

What's more, there is no developer to develop such a beautiful paradise in a wealthy area like Jiang Province, which is amazing in itself!

"Xiaoxue, Ye Fan, where did you learn your ancient martial arts?" Zhou Xinjiang asked.

Ye Fan briefly talked about his experiences overseas when he was young, while Su Qingxue talked about the origin of the Su family.

Zhou Xinjiang couldn't help feeling, "You two children are really lucky. You know, our Zhou family's children have no talent and no chance to practice martial arts."

"Grandpa, I don't understand. Even if the Zhou family is very old and the family has a great business, there is no need to restrict the development of the village, right? Why can't this place be developed? Wouldn't it be good to make the clansman rich?" Su Qingxue wondered.

"It's because of the bloodline inheritance."

Before Zhou Xinjiang could say anything, Ye Fan spoke.

"That's right," Zhou Xinjiang nodded, "Ye Fan is right, the main reason is that we don't want our village to have too much contact with the outside world.

In fact, in our Zhou family village, most of the young men and women are married within the clan, so that there is a greater probability that the children born will have the special blood that can be awakened that the family wants.

Once there are more intermarriages with outside men and women, the probability of this bloodline will become smaller and smaller. "

"Has there ever been such a bloodline in that village?" Su Qingxue asked.

"It is said that one appeared six hundred years ago. At that time, our Zhoujia Village relied on that ancestor and enjoyed a good time for a while, but then it never disappeared again," Zhou Xinjiang sighed.

"This is too outrageous. Because of such illusory blood, the lives of thousands of people in a village have stagnated like this?" Su Qingxue felt very unfair, "Wouldn't everyone in the village be dissatisfied?"

Zhou Xinjiang smiled wryly and said: "I'm used to it... I grew up here since I was a child, and I didn't starve and freeze, and I got a pension when I was old. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's also quiet, and the air in the village is cleaner than outside.

Besides, if you openly confront the elders of the clan and the family, it is no joke.

Some tribesmen were selected when they were young, and went to their hometown to practice martial arts, but later they found out that they couldn't do it, so they were expelled back. I heard from a few people that some masters in the family are very terrifying, and they dare not mention anything else.

So here, everyone is in awe of our own family, and dare not talk nonsense about developing tourism and having more contacts with the outside world.

When we go out to the county town or go out to work, we have told the elders of the clan before we can do it. "

Ye Fan smiled wryly and said: "No wonder, when your mother-in-law was pregnant outside, you two elders would fight so stiffly with her. I guess the pressure in the clan is also great?"

Zhou Xinjiang sighed: "When you get married and have children outside, you usually have to get angry with the clan elders. If you marry and have children outside without prior agreement, you will be expelled from the clan and never allowed to return to the village.

So usually the young men and women here will not talk to people outside without authorization, and we are poor here, and the men and women in the city outside generally don't look down on the people here. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Xinjiang said with some embarrassment: "Xiaoxue, don't be angry, I actually persuaded your mother to kill you, so that you won't be expelled from the clan.

But she still insisted on giving birth to you, and she didn't come back after that. She said that your grandma and I have passed away... Actually, it also means that she can't see us. "
