Chapter 2301 Zhou Family Ancestral Hall
Only after the death of the patriarchs, elders, and those who have made contributions to the family, are the spiritual seats eligible to enter the ancestral hall.

Tread
Everyone lowered their heads and walked slowly towards the main hall.

Even the First Elder, Second Elder, Zhou Fulong, Zhou Xian, these people also lowered their heads with serious expressions.At this time, they were not in the mood to raise eyebrows at Wang Xiao, nor were they in the mood to be an enemy of Wang Xiao.

After all, when stepping here, everyone knows.This is the place where the ancestors of the Zhou family enshrine their spiritual tablets, and the ancestors that are common to all people are enshrined here.

Elder Zhou followed Wang Xiao. He lowered his head and moved his steps slowly.The joy in his heart is probably only known to him.Because after this incident, his status in the family will rise immediately.Although it is difficult to enter the elder level, but below the elder level, he will no longer obey anyone.

Coupled with the help of Wang Xiao, the patriarch, and his wife, it can be said that he will be promoted step by step in the Zhou family in the future.I really didn't expect that among his people, he had risen from his beginning.

The gate of the ancestral hall is very large, it is a Liuhe gate, which is composed of six gates, enough for more than [-] people to enter at the same time.When you step into the ancestral hall, you can see that there is a lot of space inside.

Inside the ancestral hall is like a huge warehouse.

In addition to the incense table, stove, and altar, there are only densely packed spiritual seats.There are at least a hundred of the densely packed spiritual seats, but compared with the size of the large ancestral hall, the space currently occupied by the spiritual seats is less than one percent of the space.

Those spiritual seats are of different heights and are placed on wooden steps.The closer to the front, the lower the seniority. The last wooden step only enshrines a spiritual tablet.There is a line of words written on it 'The late Taishangzu, King Pingnan, Zhang Jianzhen'

When he saw the spiritual tablet, Wang Xiao was a little curious. King Pingnan means the person who becomes the king. How many years ago did that happen.According to Wang Xiao's knowledge, the origin of the four major families was not early, and they all appeared after the establishment of the New Deal, not a hundred years ago.However, in the Zhou family's ancestral hall, the first ancestor enshrined was King Pingnan. In modern times, he was not called a prince or general.

There are princes and generals who are called each other, and the latest is the Qing Dynasty.Could it be that the Zhou family has existed for countless years? Who knows, only they themselves know, maybe it's just for the sake of face and sense of honor, so they force some relationship.

For example, a person surnamed Li, because of Li Shimin.Therefore, all people surnamed Li, in their genealogy, will say that their ancestors are Li Shimin, or Li Yuan, or Li Shimin's son, brother, etc.In fact, these are all nonsense. Although they are all surnamed Li, but there are so many people surnamed Li, not all of them are descendants of Li Shimin, so they cannot be related at all.

Although Wang Xiao was a little curious, he didn't ask, since it had nothing to do with him anyway.

"Wang Xiao, in fact, our Zhou family has existed for countless years, at least hundreds of years." The patriarch said at this time.

Wang Xiao was even more surprised. The Zhou family has existed for hundreds of years. Are you kidding me? I heard it right.

The patriarch continued: "Among the four major families in Kyoto, only our Zhou family has the longest history, far surpassing the other three families. The other three families only appeared recently, and our Zhou family, It’s been around for hundreds of years.”

"Yes, that's right, our Zhou family has indeed existed for hundreds of years." The Great Elder said proudly at this moment.When mentioning the Zhou family and his own family, the Great Elder felt extremely honored, extremely honored.

The Zhou family has existed for so many years, and everyone in the family is very proud and honorable.Every member of the Zhou family should be proud and honored to be born in such a family.

But they were the only ones who thought so, Wang Xiao didn't think so.He didn't feel that being born in such a big family as the Zhou family was his pride and glory.

What pride, what glory, these are all fake.Living in a big family like the Zhou family, although there is prosperity and wealth, and although the status exceeds that of ordinary people, there are also intrigues.

As long as he is a member of the Zhou family in the capital, even if he is the lowest and least powerful, as long as he goes outside, he will at least have more status than ordinary people.

Even if a crime is committed, the relevant departments will not sentence it randomly, but hand it over to the Zhou family, or obtain the consent of the Zhou family.For example, if a member of the Zhou family killed someone, even if the murderer was the lowest member of the Zhou family, the court would not dare to give them the death penalty.At least ask the Zhou family what they mean, and see what the Zhou family's attitude is.

If the Zhou family expresses that they don't want to deal with this matter, the court can decide.If the Zhou family disagreed and had to take care of this matter, the court would be powerless.

The patriarch continued: "As early as the Ming Dynasty, our Zhou family had already existed, and it was once crowned king. It was very prosperous for a while. Later, it gradually declined and withdrew from the stage of history. Until modern times, our Zhou family has once again flourished."

It turned out to be like this. It turned out that the Zhou family had existed as early as the Ming Dynasty, but it was in decline, so it was not known to people. It was not until modern times that it rose again and appeared in people's vision again.

The Great Elder said proudly at this time: "Among the four major families, although our Zhou family is not the richest or the most politically powerful, our Zhou family is the strongest."

These words of the great elder are true, because standing in the hall, there are six or seven heavenly masters, patriarch, wife, great elder, Zhou Fulong, etc., adding up to six or seven heavenly masters.With so many heavenly masters, their strength is of course very strong.Even compared with the underground martial arts and the Medicine King Valley sects, it probably won't be much worse.

However, Wang Xiao always felt that Yaowang Valley and underground martial arts were more mysterious, stronger and richer in strength. Although the strength of underground martial arts was also very good, it should not be as good as Yaowang Valley .

When he had never seen Yaowang Valley before, Wang Xiao heard from people in Jianghu that underground martial arts and Yaowang Valley were the most powerful sects in the country.Compared with the underground martial arts and the Valley of the Medicine King, the only advantage of the four major families is that each of them has mastered the politics, economy, construction, etc. of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Later, with the rise of Wang Xiao and after experiencing many things, he discovered that the rumors in the arena may not be true.First of all, underground martial arts is indeed very strong, which is the last thing Wang Xiao knows.

However, underground martial arts still cannot compare with Yaowang Valley.At the beginning, after lurking into the Valley of the Medicine King by mistake, Wang Xiao knew that the strength and background of the Valley of the Medicine King was stronger and stronger than what was rumored outside.

Then came the four big families. According to rumors in the world, the fighting power of the four big families is not as good as Yaowanggu and underground martial arts, but their political status is high and they have more resources, so they have become the top four families in China.But these rumors are actually wrong.Wang Xiao didn't know much about the situation of other families.

But as far as his Zhou family is concerned, he still knows quite well.There are six or seven heavenly masters in the Zhou family, so many heavenly masters, coupled with the strength of the patriarch, is enough to compete with underground martial arts, and even comparable to Yaowanggu.However, the rumors in the Jianghu cannot be taken seriously after all, they can only be dubiously believed.Because of the background of each family, who would foolishly tell all about it, showing off how much money they have, how many masters they have, etc. These are the secrets of the big families, and the outside world will not know.

Just like a country, which country would foolishly tell people all over the world how many weapons I have, how powerful these weapons are, how their performance is, and so on.For this kind of secrecy, the state strictly guards it.Those things that are occasionally reported are just the tip of the iceberg, or they are nothing, nothing at all, just to scare the enemy.

The members of the Zhou family stood in the ancestral hall with serious expressions on their faces. Except for the patriarch introducing the situation of the Zhou family and the great elder showing off the strength of the Zhou family, no one spoke.Everyone stood quietly with serious expressions on their faces.

At this time, the patriarch knelt under the spiritual seat.

Immediately afterwards, all the members of the Zhou family also knelt down one after another.At the moment when the patriarch knelt down, everyone moved in unison, and everyone knelt down respectfully and neatly.

Wang Xiao also knelt down with the crowd, kneeling under the spiritual seat.Anyway, he is also a member of the Zhou family, and he came to the Zhou family this time to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan.

The patriarch paid homage to the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Zhou family three times and nine times, held three incense sticks in both hands, and said loudly: "Zhou Lingtian, the unfilial son of the Zhou family, the No. 18 patriarch of the family, pays homage to the ancestors, and may the ancestors protect my Zhou family forever. "

It turned out that his father was actually the No.18 patriarch of the Zhou family.But it's normal. After all, the Zhou family has existed since the Ming Dynasty, but after its decline, it was not known by people, and there is no relevant information.

Although one of the Zhou family's ancestors once served as King Pingnan in the Ming Dynasty, this matter was not recorded in the history books, and no one even knew about it.In this case, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that no one has recorded it, but this possibility is unlikely, after all, as long as a person is crowned king, there will be records in the history books.Then the last possibility is that the books that recorded this event were destroyed.This possibility is very high, because in the history of Huaxia Kingdom, most of them were periods of turmoil, and a large number of documents were completely destroyed.

The large amount of documents that were destroyed and disappeared are indeed a major loss.It was just because of the social turmoil at that time that the emperor couldn't even keep his own country, so he didn't care about those documents.

The patriarch continued: "I lost my son and found it again. Thanks to the ancestors of the Zhou family for their protection, I found my son Zhou Wenxuan again. From now on, I will protect him with my life."

Zhou Wenxuan!
It should be his own name, Wang Xiao thought to himself.When I was just born, I was destined not to be able to practice because of a heart problem, so I was abandoned by the Zhou family.It seems that at the beginning, my parents knew that there was no hope for me to practice, so they added the word 'Wen' to my name.

Parents definitely hope that they will be able to make a name for themselves in the future.Although there is no hope in martial arts, Wen Dao is sure to do, but he never expected that under the pressure of his grandfather, he would finally be abandoned.

If his grandfather was not the patriarch, but just an ordinary member of the Zhou family, he would not have been abandoned.Because there are so many members of the Zhou family, not all of them are masters. Not everyone has cultivation, and there are some people who cannot cultivate.

But for those people, the family will not abandon them, but their status in the family will be very low.But he was born in the wrong place, and his grandfather was actually the patriarch.
