Chapter 467: Ancestor Shrine! Young Man, You Are a Person of the Zhang Family (

Xu family, Ancestor Shrine.

The courtyard in front of the hall, a towering tree is lush like a canopy, the leaves are empty, covering the ground.

The surrounding walls are full of old paintings, paintings of endless oceans, paintings of rolling waves, as if all the water veins in the world were engraved on the mottled earth walls.

"Zhixia, on such an occasion today, you must pay attention to your sense of proportion."

Before walking into the courtyard in front of the hall, Wei Qingshuang turned around and exhorted.

"I know." Xu Zhixia whispered.

On the occasion today, she wore a plain white skirt, stepped on black leather shoes, and did not apply any powder, but looked even more youthful and beautiful.

Looking at the courtyard in front of her, and the ancient shrine hidden behind, Xu Zhixia couldn't help but feel some emotion.

The Xu family shrine is located at the highest point of Jinmen. Standing in the 【Sword Building】 three hundred meters south of the shrine, you can overlook the entire Jinmen, the Haihe River, and the Sanchahe mouth, which has the meaning of "guarding one side".

If the Sanchahe mouth is the place where the water dragon dragon vein is knotted.

Then, the Xu family's ancestor shrine is the eye of the entire Jinmen Feng Shui bureau, just like the interaction between heaven and man, and like the birth of Yin and Yang, echoing from afar, quite mysterious.

Precisely because of this, the ancestor shrine is extremely important.

On weekdays, ordinary clansmen are not allowed to approach, and even every year-end sacrifice, only the men of the clan can enter the shrine to worship the ancestors.

Otherwise, unless it is a major event in the clan, women are not allowed to enter the shrine.

Xu Zhixia couldn't remember when she last came to the shrine. It should be when Xu Mingjing refined the Golden Core and stepped into the Zhaishou Realm, when the whole clan sacrificed to the ancestors and thanked them, she came once.

After all, great success in life cultivation is already a master of the Dan Dao.

This is a major event for any aristocratic family or mountain gate, to sacrifice to ancestors, thank gods, and celebrate together.

Now, Xu Changshou returns to the Xu family and recognizes his ancestors.

If he only had ordinary cultivation, it would be fine, but he happened to be a Zhaishou Realm powerhouse, Golden Core Fifth Turn.

Such an achievement is indeed worthy of a big fanfare, and it is also the Xu family's importance and recognition of him.

"Today, Xu Changshou's disciple, that young man named Zhao Jiexuan, should also come." Wei Qingshuang said in a low voice.

"Zhixia, you must grasp the opportunity."

"Mom..." Xu Zhixia frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but finally held back.

Wei Qingshuang seemed not to notice Xu Zhixia's expression, and said to herself: "If your father was promising, Mom wouldn't let you use such an occasion to get close to..."

The words stopped abruptly, but Wei Qingshuang's meaning was obvious.

Xu Mingzhang, at this age, is only barely at the High Merit Realm, and has long been identified by the clan as having exhausted his potential, and is already a marginalized figure in the second branch.

Although he is a second-generation disciple, he only occupies a seniority, and in terms of status, he is not even as good as third-generation disciples like Xu Yinhe.

Otherwise, it would not be difficult for him to find Xu Changshou privately to matchmake.

But in fact, with Xu Mingzhang's status, he couldn't even contact Xu Changshou alone.

This is the status gap brought about by the realm gap.

Precisely because of this, their family also knew nothing about what happened in the Water Mansion.

In fact, the Xu family high-level had long suppressed this matter, after all, it involved another heavy place of the Xu family.

Xu Zhixia knew Wei Qingshuang's thoughts, but she couldn't say anything.

Because Wei Qingshuang was thinking about her future, about the future of their family of three, even if she had a thousand unwillingness, she could only be forced to compromise.

Who let her be born in the Xu family, born in such a big clan, there are many helplessness and involuntary.

From the day she chose to break up with Zhang Fan, her fate was no longer her own.

At this

Zhang Fan didn't think so.

In ten years, his body, his Yuanshen, must have undergone some unpredictable changes.

Otherwise, from Zhenwu Mountain last year, starting to escape the tribulation until now, less than two years, he actually re-cultivated from an ordinary person to the Zhaishou Realm, Second Grade Golden Core.

Such speed can no longer be described as shocking.

It has never happened before, and it will never happen again.

In the world, there is no kind of Golden Core method that can do this step.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon.

Especially after establishing the Fan King God Position, Zhang Fan is more sensitive to the perception in the dark.

That ten years of deep sleep, he seems not to have wasted in vain.

"Strictly speaking, the Pure Yang Xu family should be your grandmother's maiden home." Lin Jianyue smiled lightly.

"The current patriarch of the Xu family's third branch 【Xu Xuanxiao】 should be considered your..."

"Uncle-Grandfather!?"

"Uh..."

Zhang Fan curled his lips, but didn't know what to say.

When he was a child, there were no relatives in his family, especially during the New Year and festivals, other people's families were lively, a big family gathered together, only their family was cold and clear.

Now that he has grown up, he found that he still has a group of relatives he has never met.

"My grandmother is from the third branch of the Xu family." Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully: "Who else is in the third branch?"

"The third branch of the Xu family has the thinnest population. The old people of one generation are only the three siblings Xu Xuanxiao, Xu Xuanguan, and Xu Wenjun." Lin Jianyue said in a deep voice.

Xu Xuanguan left the Xu family when he was young and has not returned for many years, which is equivalent to breaking contact.

After Xu Wenjun married into the South Zhang, she passed away before waiting for the South Zhang to be exterminated.

"Xu Xuanxiao has only one son, who is considered the only second-generation disciple of the third branch, named Xu Qiaosheng."

As she spoke, Lin Jianyue looked at Zhang Fan.

In terms of seniority, Zhang Fan should call this Xu Qiaosheng "Cousin-Uncle".

"Xu Qiaosheng has one son and one daughter." Lin Jianyue continued.

"The daughter is named Xu Jiuzhi, who is the best friend I will introduce to you later."

"As for the son..." Lin Jianyue's expression became a bit unnatural.

"Xu Jiuliu!"

"This is the only male in the third branch of the Xu family. I heard he is not very successful."

"His name is Xu Jiuliu!?" Lin Jianyue sighed.

"Xu Jiuliu!?"

Zhang Fan was stunned, and the Xu family youth he met at Xiling Mountain that day immediately appeared in his mind.

"So it's him!?" Zhang Fan thought to himself.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jianyue couldn't help asking.

"Nothing." Zhang Fan shook his head, having to sigh at the mystery of fate and the wonder of fate.

It turns out that Xu Jiuliu is the only male in the third branch now, and according to the seniority relationship, he should be considered Zhang Fan's distant cousin.

"Zhizhi's younger brother is indeed not successful. The third branch of the Xu family is already thin in population, I am afraid that when it reaches him, it will..." Lin Jianyue couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Fan said casually.

Boom...

Suddenly, a gust of river wind rose, and in the hazy night, a large ship slowly sailed from afar.

The style of that large ship was quite old, as if it were made of vine wood, and the ship was glowing with dim yellow firelight, as if it were a ghost that had broken free from the sealed years.

At this time, there were still many cargo ships coming and going at the Sanchahe mouth, but it seemed that no one could see that strange ship.

The method of the Daoist Xuan Sect is to borrow the false to cultivate the true, and in the red dust of the false combination of all phenomena, recreate the true self.

Such means, the five senses of ordinary people cannot capture at all, cannot see, cannot hear, cannot touch... just like that 【Water Mansion】.

Unless you use Yuanshen to care for it, surpassing the perception of the five senses, can you go to the false and save the true.

Precisely because of this, since ancient times, there have been many strange legends on the nine rivers of Jinmen.

"Mom, there is a big wooden boat on the river, and there is fire."

Just at this moment, on the shore, a child being held pointed at the river and suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Where is the big wooden boat? Don't talk nonsense." The woman holding the child became nervous.

"It's right there, and there are people walking on the boat." The child gestured and danced.

"Go back quickly, the Mid-Yuan Festival is coming soon, I told you not to run around at night, you insisted on coming out to stroll, what is there to stroll about by this river? People drown every year, don't you know?"

At this time, the man next to him also had a wrong expression, muttering in his mouth, pulling the woman and walking back.

"Children, have not been completely polluted by the red dust, and the Yuanshen has not completely fallen asleep." Zhang Fan looked at the episode on the shore and couldn't help laughing.

Because of this, many people can see things that adults cannot see when they are very young.

So much so that the Dao De Jing says that the essence of cultivation is to be like an infant, extremely soft and extremely quiet.

"Your best friend is really ostentatious." Zhang Fan couldn't help saying.

"This big ship is refined from 【Yin Ghost Wood】, it doesn't sink when it enters the water, and it can travel like flat ground no matter how big the wind and waves are." Lin Jianyue introduced.

"This is much more valuable than any yacht. If you have one, wouldn't you be ostentatious?"

Yin Ghost Wood is a strange kind of wood, usually born in mass graves, long and deep, absorbing the earth's Qi, raised by rotting corpses, and it takes a hundred years to become material.

It is said that this kind of wood has extremely strong Yin Qi, and no matter how big the wind and waves are, it will not sink into the water, and it is always supported by that strong Yin Qi.

In the past, this kind of wood was not rare, especially in times of war and chaos, Yin Ghost Wood was the most abundant. ===== CHAPTER 458 =====

You must know that when this hunched fellow was young, he did nothing but dig holes and excavate graves, and he was quite compatible with Xu Xuanguan of the Third Branch.

"Alright..."

Xu Jinzhao raised his hand gently, and everything came to an abrupt end.

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang, the Dharma drum shook, the treasure banners fluttered, the scripture pillars swayed, flower rain scattered, and incense smoke swirled...

Outside the courtyard gate, Xu Changshou walked in, treading on the path paved with flower rain.

Under the gaze of those intense eyes, even as a Zhaishou Realm expert, he was filled with mixed feelings at this moment.
