After thinking hard to no avail, Feng Wuchen simply asked: "Since there is a clan elder sitting in charge, why is the Lu family still being oppressed to this extent?"
Lu Xuanying smiled bitterly and said: "Young master uncle, you don't know something! Although my uncle and my grandfather were competing against each other back then, they were still closely related to each other. After all, my uncle never came back. Although my grandfather took the position of the head of the family, over time,
, but I feel that as the elder brother, I feel guilty for driving my younger brother away, and over time, it becomes even more heart-wrenching!"
"In addition, something happened to the Lu family later! Grandpa felt that my uncle's ideas might be more suitable for the Lu family, so he went to an extreme, against all opinions, dismissed the elders of the Lu family, and removed all members of the Lu family.
All decisions were made in one sentence! At the same time, he acted decisively and cleared all obstacles with thunderous means, allowing the Lu family to grow rapidly in Penglai! And the philosophy he adopted was exactly the same as that of my uncle! "
Speaking of this, Lu Xuanying sighed: "Although grandpa's extreme actions made the Lu family grow rapidly, at the same time, it also made many enemies. And without the elder of the clan, the Lu family has grown rapidly.
But at the same time, the strength has also been reduced a lot. This has been the case all year round. Within a few hundred years, Grandpa died due to overdraft of blood and old injuries. The Lu family also plummeted..." ??
"well……"
Lu Xuanying suddenly let out a long sigh.
"When I took over the position of the head of the Lu family from my grandfather, I also visited various places, hoping to invite those clan elders to come back! However, those clan elders have already established separate families, how can they still be willing to serve the Lu family? And I
He has dull qualifications and does not have the same level of cultivation as grandpa, so in our hands, the Lu family is worse than ever..."
"I see……"
Feng Wuchen nodded thoughtfully.
Immediately, he changed the subject and asked: "What happened to the Wangfu and the Cai family that day? When the head of the Cai family died, he mentioned that the Tianwangfu was their backer. Is this true?"
Lu Xuanying nodded solemnly: "It is true! Penglai is different from other states! Penglai is located overseas and is not related to any other state.
A piece of land is connected and has a natural military advantage! Therefore, in order to prevent the King of Penglai from having his own troops, the title of King of Penglai is not hereditary and changes once a thousand years. At the same time, a separate military camp will be set up, and General Habayashi Nakaro will be sent to guard it.
, completely separate government affairs and military affairs! Check and balance each other.”
Feng Wuchen immediately thought of the Lu Yao he had met on the East China Sea before. He should be the Zhonglang General of the Penglai Military Department.
yes……
Among the four realms of Taixuantian, there is one military department for each realm, and one king for each state.
Like Penglai, it is rare for an island to have its own military headquarters.
After figuring out the mystery, Feng Wuchen nodded and said: "Separating government affairs from military affairs and changing them every thousand years can indeed eliminate many future troubles. What's wrong with this system?"
Lu Xuanying sighed: "As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom! When have you ever seen a Heavenly Palace that would really leave you alone? Almost every Penglai Heavenly King will support his own power after taking office! And the Cai family
, is the force supported by this Penglai Heavenly King! With the Heavenly King as its backer, the Cai family will naturally act unscrupulously. Instead, we, the local forces in Penglai, have to hide their tail between their legs..."
Lu Huaiyi also sighed and said: "Alas...and over the years, Tianwang Mansion has tried every means to suppress our local strength. Although we are living a difficult life, the families under Tianwang Mansion are extremely rich!
"
Crazy rich?
Hearing this, Feng Wuchen touched his chin, raised the corners of his mouth, and began to think about something in his heart.
"..."
At the same time, at the Lu family ancestral temple.
In front of the ancestral temple, there is an old man in cloth, holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
Sensing someone approaching, the old man suddenly raised his head and saw the person. A ray of light shot out from his cloudy eyes.
"You...you are..."
When he saw the old man, Lu Bozhao's cold face suddenly turned warm. He quickly stepped forward and held the old man's hands with his hands. His words were a little excited: "Uncle Ninth..."
"Master Bo Zhao! You...are you back?"
"Yes... I'm back! Uncle Jiu! How have you been these past few years?"
Uncle Jiu put down the broom in his hand and burst into tears: "Okay! I'm living a good life..."
This old man is a descendant of the Lu family. He has been guarding the ancestral temple for the Lu family for thousands of years, and his generation cannot be traced back long ago.
It’s just that every generation of the Lu family calls him Uncle Jiu!
The power of the blood of a big family is both a gift and a curse!
Many heavenly beings have not yet reached the end of their lifespan, but their bloodline power has been exhausted in advance, causing them to age before they get old.
It is rare for someone like Uncle Jiu to live for thousands of years despite his low cultivation level.
Lu Bozhao left the Lu family thousands of years ago. Even though he had been to the East China Sea, he never returned home. Now that he has returned, the land has changed, and things and people have changed.
Uncle Jiu... is his only old friend in the Lu family.
"Uncle Jiu! Take me into the ancestral hall!"
Uncle Jiu wiped the hot tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Okay...ok! Master Bozhao, come with me..."
Lu Bozhao gave a bitter smile: "I am already a rotten old man who is half buried in the earth. Uncle Jiu... don't call me young master!"
But Uncle Jiu cried with joy: "In Lao Chan, you will always be the junior of the Lu family, and you will always be Lao Chan's young master!"
"..."
In a moment, the two of them had arrived inside the ancestral hall.
Uncle Jiu forced out a drop of blood from his fingertips, pinched the magic formula, and saw the runes flashing in front of him, and an invisible light curtain was removed.
The Lu family can be considered a prominent family in Penglai, and their ancestral temple is such an important place that it has its own formation to protect it.
And this formation can only be unlocked with the blood of the guardian and special runes. Otherwise, even the head of the Lu family will not be able to enter it.
After entering the ancestral temple, a breath of time and incense hit our faces.
Lu Bozhao did not speak, but walked to a place, picked up three sticks of sandalwood, and bowed to several spiritual statues.
"Father! Mother! The child is unfilial! Today... I'm here to offer incense to the two elders!"
After offering incense to his parents, Lu Bozhao took steps forward gently, and finally stopped in front of the last few spiritual places.
On a certain spiritual tablet, it was clearly written: Lu Boce’s spiritual tablet!
Of course, the strangest thing is that there is a blank spiritual tablet in front of Lu Boce's tablet, with no writing on it.
"This is……"
When Lu Bozhao spoke, Uncle Jiu also came forward.
"This...this is what Master Boce left for you!"
Lu Bozhao was surprised: "Me?"
Uncle Jiu nodded: "Yes... Young Master Bo Ce was still worried about Young Master Bo Zhao until the moment he passed away! He told the old man that he was ashamed of you. If you haven't come back after a thousand years, you will be here
Write your name on the tablet... But I have always believed that Master Bo Zhao is still alive..."
Lu Bozhao opened his mouth, but felt his nose was sore and stopped talking.
Lu Boce was the elder brother. According to etiquette, his spiritual position should be at the front. However, he willingly ranked behind Lu Bozhao. There is no need to express his guilt.
