Chapter 1799 Redistribution
On the top of Tianfang Mountain, there is a huge ancestral hall, which contains the tablets of the ancestors of the Hechuan Fang family.
But on each floor, some tablets are empty, and the same is true for the top seats.
Fang Qiurou led Fang Chen and others into the ancestral hall. After offering a stick of incense, they went to the seats arranged in advance outside the ancestral hall and sat down.
"The empty tablet is the ancestor Fang Lie?"
Fang Chen asked casually.
"Exactly, the other vacant tablets are also the ancestors who came out of the Zhou Dynasty in the past dynasties. They became supernatural beings, and they should have unlimited life span and immortality."
Fang Qiu Judo.
Fang Chen knew that infinite lifespan was naturally an exaggeration, but these magical people never came back. The Fang family in Hechuan didn't know whether they were dead or alive, so naturally they couldn't set up memorial tablets.
Now outside the ancestral hall, most of the prominent figures from the Hechuan Fang clan are here.
The number of people from the Huofeng branch was the largest, and there was a large group of people sitting in the dark, about a thousand people.
Today, the Hechuan Fang clan has four major branches. Except for the Huofeng branch, the other three branches appear to be withered, including the branch where Fanglong Mountain is located.
There are tens of thousands of people in the Hechuan Fang clan, and about 90% of them are descendants of the Huo Feng branch.
Fang Chen glanced at the elders of the Huofeng branch. They were dressed in luxurious clothes and surrounded by Fang Sheng and others.
Looking at the elders of the other two major branches, they are dressed simply, and some of the people around them even wear patched clothes.
There were not a few warriors in sight who were moving blood and refining marrow.
"It's no wonder that the Hechuan Fang clan has been undercurrents during this period. If Fang Longshan was not the King of Martial, he would never be able to take the position of clan leader. His lineage is too far away from the background of the Huofeng branch. Even if the other two major branches support him, they still can't take the position of clan leader."
It’s not enough to truly control the Hechuan Fang Clan.”
Fang Chen thought silently in his heart.
"Uncle Fang has ever discovered that on the other side of the Huofeng branch is the wealthiest member of the Fang family in Hechuan.
Various industries, large and small, in the Fang clan are basically in the hands of the Huofeng branch.
The remaining three major branches basically depend on their expressions.
Even if the clan leader wants to mobilize some resources to train his disciples, he will encounter many difficulties."
Fang Qiurou said softly.
"So if we worship our ancestors today, will there be any good show?"
Fang Chen smiled.
Fang Qiurou sighed softly:
"I'm not sure yet whether it will be a good show, but I hope it will have a good result.
My father had a fight with Uncle Fang that day in the Zhulou courtyard. I just hope that Uncle Fang can come to my aid if an accident occurs today."
"It seems that you know everything, but why do you want me to help you? With the strength of your magical power, if you really want to take action, the Fire Maple branch is no match."
Fang Chen's voice was like a line, reaching Fang Qiurou's ears.
Fang Qiurou was slightly startled and looked at Fang Chen with extremely serious eyes for the first time.
When she met those gray-white eyes, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was much more mysterious than she had imagined.
"This matter... has never been discovered by anyone, not even the extradition envoy. Although Uncle Fang's eyes seem to be blind, he can see clearly better than anyone else.
I had already awakened my magical powers in the early stage of blood-moving, so in terms of strength, I was far inferior to a warrior.
If I take action, my magical power will be revealed.
The timing is not right now, if I am picked up by the extradition envoy, the remaining three branches of the Hechuan Fang Clan will most likely be completely annexed by the Huo Feng Branch, which is not a good thing."
Fang Qiurou's voice also turned into a strand of silk thread and reached Fang Chen's ears.
After a pause, she said curiously:
"Is Uncle Fang a supernatural being or a martial sage?"
"neither."
"neither?"
Fang Qiurou was stunned, assuming that Fang Chen didn't want to talk about it, so she stopped continuing the topic.
Because Fang Longshan had already brought Fang Yue to the ancestral hall, thousands of pairs of eyes nearby moved in unison, and their eyes fell on the two of them.
The elder of the Huofeng branch had a faint smile on his face.
"Chief, it's almost time. Let's start worshiping our ancestors. I think it might rain in the afternoon, and it will be inconvenient for the clan members to go down the mountain by then."
Fang Longshan took a look at the clear sky. Is there any sign of rain?
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You have become a great fortune teller. You even know when it will rain."
After saying this, he coughed lightly and announced to everyone:
"The ancestor worship begins."
The clan's ancestor worship ceremony seems complicated, but it is actually simple.
According to their seniority, they paid homage to their ancestors, recited the family rules handed down from generation to generation of the Hechuan Fang family, and informed their ancestors about the current situation of the Fang family. If any of their children became talented, a burst of firecrackers would be enough.
At the stage of 'whose children become talented', the most dazzling one belongs to the Huofeng branch.
"Fang Ji, at the age of fourteen, has achieved perfection in moving blood!"
"Fang Rui, twelve years old, in the late stage of bloodshed!"
"Fang Rui, thirteen years old, late stage of bloodshed!"
"square……"
A series of dozens of young disciples all belong to the Huo Feng lineage.
That Fang Ji was Fang Sheng's son, and he was almost going to practice under Fang Chen's sect.
The person who called the roll also came from Huo Feng's lineage, and his tone became more and more passionate.
The faces of people from Huo Feng's lineage were glowing, even if the young man named on stage was not their direct bloodline, it would still be an honor.
After that, it is the turn of the other three major branches.
Fang Hai and Fang Ling stood behind Fang Chen. Looking at this scene, they felt a little envious at first, but later, this trace of envy gradually faded away.
They know that they are already at the forefront of all the young people, bar none.
After the roll call, the firecrackers were lit and the sound echoed throughout Tianfang Mountain.
After drinking some tea, Fang Longshan cleared his throat, and his voice rang in everyone’s ears:
"Today I am worshiping my ancestors, but there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
The expressions of the clan elders of the other two major branches changed, and they subconsciously sat upright. One of them picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, while the other picked up a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
The elder of the Firefeng clan smiled and said, "Clan leader, is there anything else we need to discuss? It just so happens that everyone is here today, so please speak up."
"The main issue is the distribution of family interests."
Fang Longshan smiled and said: "In the past, the four major branches of the Hechuan Fang clan were very prosperous, but due to some reasons in between, the benefits were unevenly distributed.
Nine times out of ten, Hanmen appears on the three major branches except Huo Feng.
Nowadays, the talents of the three major branches are withering away. The old and young people only have a few thousand people in total.
If this continues, won't these branches be cut off from their roots and seeds?"
The people from the three major branches nodded silently as they listened.
However, Huo Feng Branch faintly heard the deep meaning in Fang Longshan's words, and his face became a little ugly and cold.
"So I thought about letting the Fire Maple branch give up some of its business and hand it over to the three major branches, so that the yin and yang can be reconciled. What does the Fire Maple branch mean?"
Fang Longshan smiled lightly.
After saying these words, the warm atmosphere of today's ancestor worship suddenly dropped to freezing point.
