The Zhong family has been dealing with Mo Yan for thousands of years, and they can't say they are not as frank as life and death, but they are not as particular as ordinary clans.

Even Elder Zhong, who values ​​rules, handled Zhong Zhizheng's funeral in a thrilling manner.

Zhong Zhi was cremated on the same day and sent the ashes to the Houshan clan tomb. He was waiting to carve the tablets and prepare them for memorial service the next day in the ancestral hall.

Six or seven hundred people from all over the castle were moved, and Zhongyao could not stay out of the matter. He accompanied the cremation, collected the ashes, sent them to the tomb, sealed the tomb and recited scriptures, sorted out the relics, and was busy until the end of the night.

I had cold food in the canteen in the main building. Zhong Yao, who was wearing mourning clothes, returned to the room and sat on a chair and pounded his waist to think.

He is the young castle lord, and there are not even maids and servants around him. It is really hard for people in this place to live.

What's even harder is still to come...

The temple land will be eaten tomorrow. The second turn of the "Nine Earths Turns of the De Jing" is in sight. What changes will happen at that time are very exciting.

But the cheap dad died suddenly and the nightmare of Demon is in a hurry, so the prospects are not good.

Seven years ago, the Ji family was destroyed. How many years can the Zhong family last?

Speaking of which, there are not only Zhongji families around Guanshan, but also Bojiazhuang in the north of the mountain and Shujia Town in the east.

The four families of Bo Zhongshuji were one ancestor a thousand years ago. They divided into four branches and scattered throughout Guanshan to reproduce and prosper.

It is said that the four families have secret missions and must take root in Guanshan. Once they migrate, they will lose the protection of their ancestors' gods.

There are gods in this world.

There are mountain gods, land, water kings, city gods, grass-headed gods who have received incense but have no god position, and clan family gods.

Unfortunately, Guanshan was eroded by the nightmare of demons and had long lost the gods. The four families have declined from prosperity, and the gods of the ancestors have become legends.

As for what mission, for ordinary people, people have changed for a hundred years, so how can they maintain a mission that has been held for a thousand years?

So this matter became "it is said to be". From the elders to the castle lord, I don't know what tasks my ancestors assigned back then.

However, the genealogy is clear and the tablets are complete, this is the inheritance.

The inheritance is both a place that suppresses mission and binds hope.

The four families were unwilling to move away, and they gritted their teeth and struggled here for generations.

Why bother...

Zhong Yao sighed, what mission is there in this world that can be more sacred than the survival of the family and the continuation of bloodline?

Those immortals who are overturning and picking stars with one hand are also seeking immortality.

Will you run away after eating the temple soil tomorrow?

After all, this is a world of cultivating immortals. According to the orthodox routine, you should cut off the relationship between the world and focus on the immortals.

Ji Xiaozhu's figure suddenly appeared, and then his faces were covered.

Brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, uncles and elders, family servants and partners, and countless respectful and simple castle people who call "Young Fort Lords".

He has been a member of the Zhong family for only seven years and has a bad relationship with Zhong Zhizheng. However, strictly speaking, Zhong Zhizheng did not owe him, and others have paid more to him.

Zhongjia and Zhongjiabao have been kind to him.

When a person is a human being, he must be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous.

This is inconsistent with the style of the world of cultivating immortals, but Zhongyao feels that if it goes against his original intention, he will not be able to become an immortal.

When the "Nine Earths Turning De Jing" is practiced to the second turn, see what changes are there, and then think about how to deal with the approaching crisis of the demon nightmare.

In short, he decided to take over the position of this castle lord.

I was yawning and was about to fall asleep when the door was gently knocked.

After knocking twice, the door was pushed open, and the graceful figure flashed in. It was Ji Xiaozhu.

The girl is not a relative, and she is mourning as a nephew, but is just wearing white clothes, making her look beautiful and elegant.

"Ayao..."

She said gently, "I'm sorry, what I said in the morning is too heavy, are you not angry?"

"I see you are stunned all day long, without a single tear. This is extremely sad, not good."

She walked to Zhongyao, carried him into her arms, and gently patted his back.

"Cry, A Yao, otherwise you will be suffocated."

Zhongyao was stunned at first, then laughed and moved.

Ji Xiaozhu was harsh on his face, but was extremely concerned in his heart.

But she still regards her as a younger brother, so it doesn't suit his wishes.

Zhong Yao said depressedly: "No, no tears."

He had no worries, and his friends called her "Zhuganpo" behind his back because she was tall and flat.

"Why?"

Ji Xiaozhu let him go and asked very seriously: "Are you still hating your father?"

Zhong Yao asked back: "Don't you hate me?"

Seven years ago, Zhong Zhizheng took Zhong Yao to visit Ji Jiagu, and the demon nightmare broke out.

The master Ji Gu and his wife entrusted Ji Xiaozhu to Zhong Zhizheng, but the guy actually ran away by himself.

Not only did Ji Xiaozhu be left behind, but Zhongyao also left behind.

The two children supported each other and ran away with difficulty. They accidentally fell off the cliff, but were lucky enough to avoid the nightmare.

At that time, the real Zhongyao's soul was scattered and he replaced it.

When they were rescued back to Zhongjiabao, they saw Zhong Zhizheng who ran back early, and the guy actually said that they were lost by themselves.

At that time, Ji Xiaozhu was still in shock, and Zhong Yao was just reincarnated and was confused, but he didn't realize anything abnormal.

As I grow older, I think about it carefully and then I understand it.

"I thought it through before, but I figured it out later."

Ji Xiaozhu said: "The Lord of Zhongbao is your father, not my father, how can I hate him?"

"I just hate myself..."

"A Yao, there is no need for you to hate. Your father gave birth to you and raised you, and he doesn't owe you."

Zhong Yao snorted: "It was my mother who gave birth to me, what does it have to do with him?"

He mentioned this just perfunctorily: "I don't hate him for that matter. If people don't punish themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed."

"I hate his attitude towards my mother. I don't even say that my mother is buried wherever she is. Do you still treat me as a son?"

The girl held his hand and advised softly: "This is all a matter. Your father will not be your father because of these things."

"Your mother is gone, now you have no father again, you are the only one left..."

The next moment she was excited, and pinched Zhongyao's hand chuckled: "You should think about what will happen in the future!"

Zhongyao grinned and wanted to scream, looking up at her, stunned for a moment.

The moonlight dropped from the narrow window and was reflected on her face, making the deep eyes with tears crystal clear and blurry, as if there was a galaxy inside.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Are you still there? We are the same now."

The girl was angry and anxious: "But I can't protect you! When the nightmare comes, everyone can only rely on themselves!"

She twitched her nose: "Tomorrow you will be the lord of the castle. Can you work harder, even if it's just... just pretending to be hard-working?"

"You once said that you would take back my home and my parents with me. Have you forgotten?"

Ripples arose in Zhongyao's heart, and the faint scene rippled in it. It seemed to be the memory from seven years ago, but it was broken.

He tried to touch the fragments, but he was like catching the moon in the water, only getting a cool touch similar to fear.

The girl suddenly pulled him up, and a hot light flashed in her eyes: "Let's practice now! Maybe your parents' spirit in heaven will bless you and make you break through all at once?"

Zhong Yao was speechless, girl, you are so crazy when you hear the story of cultivating immortals.

There is no such breakthrough, eating soil is the right way!

There was no response, and the hot beam faded from the girl's eyes.

She reluctantly smiled and said, "It's me that I'm confused. You should have a good rest. There will be... a bigger test waiting for you tomorrow."

She let go of Zhongyao's hand and her smile became even stiffer: "Tomorrow, I have to call you the lord of the castle, so I can't be so casual anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away with heavy steps.

Zhongyao looked at her shoulders, as heavy as if carrying a mountain. He understood that the girl was also thinking about what to do in the future.

"Xiaozhu..."

He whispered, "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be different."

The girl turned her head and her eyes gradually brightened.

She replied with a crisp voice: "Okay!"
