Chapter 163 Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Clan

The courtyard door was pushed open heavily, and two white-haired and mighty old men were seen, with tears streaming down their faces, bowing to Yang Tianna: "Young Master, thank you for avenging our relatives. We are here to thank you on behalf of our dead brothers!"

When Yang Wen saw the people coming, he felt ashamed and quickly explained, "These two are Elder Li and Elder Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian hurried forward, helped the two old men up and said, "Grandpa Li, Grandpa Xiao, what are you talking about? My father and I are ashamed of the Yang family soldiers!"

Elder Li said immediately, "Young Master, please don't say that. Although Wen'er made a big mistake back then, my old subordinates and I have investigated in many ways and have not found any clues about him. On the contrary, Young Master, with his age as a tutor, was able to fight these bastards to a draw. Isn't that embarrassing for us!"

Without waiting for Yang Tian to refute, Old Li said again: "Young Master, the old man has only one request. Count me in when we go back to deal with Salok this time. I don't care about command or not. As long as I can get revenge, I have no problem being a soldier charging into battle!" As he said this, he prostrated himself again, and Old Xiao also bowed down with him.

Yang Tian was startled, and hurried forward to support him: "Grandpa Li, Grandpa Xiao, how can a child like me make the decision on this matter? How about this, after the ancestor worship ceremony, let's discuss it with the old man and let him make a decision?"

The two thought about it for a while and found that it was indeed the case, so they stopped worrying about it. The four of them sat together again, talking about the past and present, as if they had endless things to say...

The next morning, the main gate of the Yang family, which had been closed for many years, suddenly opened. Yang Zhou and Yang Yong led a group of elders from the side branches to stand outside the gate and wait eagerly. After a while, a huge white snake-shaped beast flew over, and a person stood leisurely on the snake. Behind the white snake, more than 20 silver-armored warriors came on the clouds...

"Father-in-law, why did you come here in person?" After everyone landed, Yang Zhou hurried forward to greet them.

"Hahaha, the Yang family has encountered such a big event, how can I not come here in person to congratulate them?" The person who came was Zhang Yun, the current Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and Yang Zhou's father-in-law: "Your useless brothers-in-law will be here soon and help you with the arrangements. We are all family, so you don't have to worry about me. I'll go up and talk to that old guy myself."

After saying that, he went into the mountain gate on his own...

The arrival of Heavenly Master Zhang Yun seemed to have kicked off the ceremony of the crowd paying respects to the mountain. Various major forces came in an endless stream. The Wang family, the Li family, the Yan family and other cultivation families were not to be mentioned; the Lingxiao Pavilion, the Shangqing Sect, the Taiji Sect and other old-fashioned sects also came to congratulate; even some secluded individual cultivators came after hearing the news...

It can be predicted that this ancestor worship ceremony will become a rare grand event in recent years...

About an hour later, the huge martial arts arena in the outer courtyard of the Yang family was already crowded with people. Everyone gathered with people they knew and discussed this grand ceremony...

However, the Taoist Lingxu of Taiji Sect was sitting on the armchair and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhou, you, the deputy leader of Shangqing Sect, are attending the ceremony in person? You know something about this, right?"

"Don't play dumb in front of me. We are all smart people. It's been thirty years, right? When have you ever seen the Yang family show off their strength like this? If you didn't smell something, I don't believe you would put down the mundane things of Tai Chi and run here." Taoist Zhou immediately retorted.

"You two stop whispering here and look at the Yang family's relatives. The contemporary Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is here, and the patriarch of the Wang family is here in person. The Yang family must have encountered a once-in-a-century opportunity!" It was Elder Qin of the Tianji Sect who spoke.

"But I heard that it is related to the person who was expelled from the Yang family's family tree." Taoist Zhou said mysteriously.

"The invitation said that the grandson is returning to his ancestral home. So, the problem is still with the child! I suspect that there must be an extraordinary monster." Taoist Lingxu said without doubt...

There were many similar discussions, especially when the spectators saw the joyous look on the faces of the entire Yang family, they all confirmed this conjecture.......

At noon, the huge martial arts arena was already crowded with people. Suddenly, the deep and heavy sound of bells and drums rang out. The bells were melodious and echoed in everyone's ears; the drums were deafening, but accompanied by a solemn atmosphere. The spectators who were chatting before fell silent and sat solemnly on the throne chairs...

After the sound of bells and drums, accompanied by the elegant and solemn music, the direct relatives of the Yang family followed the old man out in a line, followed closely by the elders of the collateral family. The whole team was the same as before; the only difference was that next to the old man, there was a handsome boy in his teens, following closely behind him...

The crowd watching the ceremony were all shocked when they saw this scene. Who is this child? He is accompanying the head of the family at such an important celebration. He must be spoiled to death...

The Yang family members were unaware of the other families' thoughts and continued to walk forward solemnly. After an incense stick of time, they finally arrived in front of the solemn ancestral altar. The ancestral altar was paved with snow-white marble, with 28 lifelike reliefs engraved on it, recording the footprints of the ancestors; the tribute platform was also made of white marble, on which were placed the ancestors' rankings, incense burners, tributes, and other things...

After everyone lined up, the old man lit three incense sticks and said in a loud voice: "Today, there is Yang Tian, ​​a descendant of the Yang family. He is smart, studious, and gifted. He drifted to a foreign land when he was young, but was blessed by his ancestors and has now been found. I specially open the ancestral hall to comfort our ancestors and allow him to return to the family genealogy." After that, he inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Under the guidance of Mr. Liao, Yang Tian also hurried out, first kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times to burn incense for the ancestors, and then pierced his index finger with a golden needle and touched the blood onto a white jade plate. The white jade plate was stained with blood and turned blood red in an instant; the incense in the incense burner ignited without wind and burned to the bottom in an instant; the sound of wooden fish and bells rang out immediately.

The heavy white jade book placed on the tribute platform opened without any wind. The Yang family tree appeared in the smoke. Under the huge veins, Yang Tian's name appeared at the bottom of the family tree. But what was abrupt was that there was no vein above his name.

Such a scene naturally caused the crowd watching below to murmur again.

But at this moment, the old man said at the right time: "Test the qualifications of Yang Tian, ​​the grandson of the Yang family."

After that, he handed a five-colored ball to Yang Tian and whispered, "Inject the power of the five elements into it."

Yang Tian immediately understood and poured the elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth into it. In an instant, the five-colored sphere was lit up with red, blue, gold, brown and green lights, causing the spectators to exclaim in surprise.

"Oh my god! He actually has the talent of gathering all five elements? He has already achieved the five elements at the age of 11. Isn't this talent too amazing?"

"There hasn't been a genius like this in the last three hundred years, right?"

"The Yang family is on the rise."

......

Amid the crowd's exclamations, some people were puzzled and muttered, "Doesn't the Yang family always use ten-color stones to test qualifications? Why did they use the five-color beads of ordinary sects this time?"

......

Ignoring the discussions of the crowd, the old man's voice resounded throughout the venue again: "According to the clan rules, before the age of 25, those who have completed the five elements of Qi cultivation, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, will be moved into the main lineage, and the three generations of direct descendants will be pardoned regardless of any previous crimes. Therefore, Yang Tian's father, Yang Wen, and his mother, Sophie Free, are invited to be included in the family tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wen and Sophie walked quickly through the corridor under the guidance of the priest elder.

After another set of complicated rituals and sacrifices, the white jade book automatically opened again, and the lineage on the family tree was finally complete...
