Thinking that every time he returned to Huaiyuan County, he had to visit the Zongren Pavilion in Huaiyuan Hall, Zhang Tie couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Why did the elders of the family want to see him? Zhang Tie kept thinking about this question on the way, always feeling a little baffled. If it was because of the full-effect potion, then the person who came forward to contact him should be someone from the Changfeng Merchant Group, not
The deacon of the Zongren Hall, the deacon of this Zongren Hall, can only say that the family elders are only looking for him because of the family's internal affairs. What on earth does a little person like himself have that deserves the elders' attention now?
Zhang Tie didn't know. When he asked the deacon, the deacon didn't say anything and just told him that he would find out when he got to Zongren Pavilion.
Could it be because of Lan Yunxi, Zhang Tie wondered wildly, could it be that the elders of the Zongren Pavilion wanted to warn him not to eat swan meat, but this matter has not been revealed yet, and the family elders will not come to care about this boring gossip.
Let's take care of this matter. If we really want to take care of it, it won't be the family elders' turn to intervene, as is Lan Yunxi and her father.
By the way, it seems that I have never seen what Earl Feng, the head of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang, looks like.
Because Deacon Zhang said that the elder only wanted to see him, he didn't follow him. If he did, it would be of no use. In such an important place as the Zongren Hall, there are many family masters in charge. Who can afford it?
A little wave comes.
It was still the Zongren Pavilion, it was still the grand, serious and even old-fashioned building. When the soldiers outside the Zongren Pavilion saw the people in the car, they let the car in without checking. After getting out of the car, Deacon Zhang took Zhang
Tie walked around in the Zongren Pavilion and finally came to a relatively quiet independent small building called "Zumai Hall". He did not go in, but bowed and saluted outside the small building.
"Reporting to the elders, Zhang Tie has been brought here!"
"Okay, let him come in!" A faint voice came from the small building. Deacon Zhang glanced at Zhang Tie and motioned for Zhang Tie to go in. Zhang Tie took a deep breath and walked in.
A few sandalwood incense sticks were lit in the small building, and the special scent permeated every inch of the air here. Zhang Tie suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and his whole body and mind suddenly calmed down.
.
Crossing the threshold, passing through the screen wall, and walking through a section of the patio, Zhang Tie saw several old men with completely gray hair sitting in a high hall. For these people who had high authority in Huaiyuan Hall and whose own strength was unpredictable, Zhang Tie
Old man, Zhang Tie didn't dare to show even a hint of disrespect.
The elders who were sitting just glanced at Zhang Tie casually, and Zhang Tie felt that his whole body was being seen through. When those elders looked over, he felt the Ten Thousand Spirits Pagoda in the sea of consciousness.
The surrounding mental energy gathered like smoke at a glance, hiding the Ten Thousand Spirits Pagoda in one fell swoop. Zhang Tie did not expect that the Ten Thousand Spirits Pagoda had such ability, which also made him feel slightly shocked.
"Zhang Tie, the descendant of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang, meets the elders!" Zhang Tie bowed to the elders calmly and saw the appearance of the elder sitting on the main seat. After saluting, Zhang Tie knelt down directly in front of the elder.
, kowtowed three times respectfully, "Zhang Tie pays regards to his sixth uncle on behalf of his father, Zhang Ping!"
The sixth uncle is the most influential figure in the Jinhai City lineage of Huanyuan Hall. He is in charge of the Zongren Pavilion. When Zhang Tie and his family first arrived in Huaiyuan County, if it weren't for the help of the sixth uncle, Zhang Tie's father might not be here now.
He is still in prison, and therefore, Zhang Tie's family is very grateful to this person who has a very senior position in the entire Huaiyuan Hall.
Seeing Zhang Tie's behavior, several elders looked at each other and nodded secretly.
"Get up!" the round-faced sixth uncle said softly. As he spoke, Zhang Tie just raised his hand slightly, and Zhang Tie felt an invisible and gentle force coming from the ground under his feet, which was completely irresistible.
. He gently lifted his whole body up, unable to maintain the kneeling position any longer.
Is this the power of a knight? Zhang Tie was shocked, wondering when he would have such power.
Zhang Tie stood respectfully, not knowing what the elders wanted to do with him, but the elders didn't speak, so he didn't say anything either, acting like a good boy.
"What do you think, Brother Murray?" an elder sitting next to the sixth uncle asked with a smile.
"Just follow the rules first, so as not to leave any mistakes!" the sixth uncle said calmly.
"Okay!" The elder nodded and glanced to the side. Two deacons in robes came over. One of them was holding a very solemn box in his hand. When he saw several elders nodding,
Another deacon opened the box and took out a crystal with a diameter of about six to seven inches and a length of more than thirty centimeters. The crystal shone with a blur of brilliance. In the middle of the crystal, there was a mass of unknown shape.
The red blood that penetrated was rolling, like a living thing.
As soon as this thing was taken out, especially when it was too close to this thing, Zhang Tie suddenly felt that all the energy and blood in his body seemed to be attracted by this thing, making him a little restless.
The deacon carefully took the crystal in his hand, then stood up the sharp part at the top of the crystal, and told Zhang Tie, "Put your finger on the top of this bloodline crystal and prick it!"
This was not the time to ask why. It seemed that the elders had no ill intentions towards him. Zhang Tie put one of his fingers on the sharpest point on the top of the crystal. With a little force, the crystal pierced.
Zhang Tie's finger, a drop of blood flowed down from Zhang Tie's finger, and then under Zhang Tie's gaze, the drop of blood began to penetrate into the crystal like a plant piercing the roots of the earth, and the drop of blood in the crystal
The ball of blood also became restless, and at the moment when the two met, the entire crystal began to emit a red light, which lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly disappearing.
"Elders, after testing the bloodline crystal, the blood on this person resonates and glows with the blood of Duke Huaiyuan, and there are no other abnormalities. It can be confirmed that this person is indeed the blood of Duke Huaiyuan, and is not a shadow demon costume!"
Deacon Tie respectfully reported back to several elders.
Listening to this report, Zhang Tie almost broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that what he had just done was Huaiyuantang's method of testing the family's bloodline. If he still had the shadow demon's transformation skills at this moment, there would still be traces of the shadow demon in his body.
Those genes of Shadow Demon... He didn't even know what the current situation would be like.
The elders sitting in the hall nodded, and the two deacons put the crystal into the box again, and then withdrew.
Seeing Zhang Tie's expression change slightly, Zhang Mulei, who was just called his sixth uncle by Zhang Tie, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. This is just the rule of Huaiyuantang. Almost every disciple of Huaiyuantang who comes here must go through it."
At such a level, in order to maintain the purity of the family's bloodline and the reliability of key figures, and to prevent outsiders and demons from taking advantage of it, every family has such methods, and they are not targeted at anyone."
Hearing what his sixth uncle said, Zhang Tie also took the opportunity to regain his composure.
"Please forgive me, elders, I have never heard of such a method before, so I was a little surprised!" Zhang Tie replied.
"Well, don't be surprised. I called you here this time because I want to know something from you!" Zhang Moulei said.
"I don't know what the elders want to know. Zhang Tie must know everything!"
"A few weeks ago, did you awaken another ancestral bloodline?"
Zhang Tie knew that Huaiyuantang had the ability to detect the bloodline awakening of the clan's children. Therefore, he was not surprised when he heard this question. He did not expect that the elders came to him to find out about this matter. Zhang Tie felt relieved.
One breath.
"Yes, the disciple did awaken an ancestral bloodline a few weeks ago!"
"What power does this bloodline have?" This time, before "Sixth Uncle" could speak, another elder sitting in the hall couldn't help but ask.
"This..." Zhang Tie hesitated slightly and looked at the environment here to see if there were any outsiders.
"You don't have to worry. Except for a few of us, no one in the Zumai Hall can come close to here without permission. There are also several kinds of runes and equipment arranged in the Zumai Hall. Every word you say here
, except for a few elders in the hall, no outsiders can hear it!" said the elder who asked Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie thought for a while, "I don't know how to explain it. This awakened ancestral bloodline seems to give disciples the ability to change their appearance!"
"Ah, changing appearance?" Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three elders became excited. The one who just asked Zhang Tie was a bit hasty, and even stood up suddenly, and finally looked at the other two
Elder, that elder took a deep breath and sat down again.
Zhang Tie didn't know why the elders were so excited.
"Can you show us the abilities of this ancestor's bloodline here?" Sixth Uncle Wen Yan said.
"Yes!" Zhang Tie said. Under the eyes of the three elders, he was not seen doing anything else. His hair slowly turned red, his eyes turned dark green, and his skin turned
The whole process took just over ten seconds to turn his face into a black color like Baghdad. After completing these changes, Zhang Tie almost became a person of another race.
The faces of the three elders were shocked, and the elder who just spoke had trembling hands holding the chair.
After staying in this state for more than ten seconds, Zhang Tie's hair began to change color again. This time, his hair turned brown, his eyes turned light gold, and his skin began to look like a Xibo person.
, except that his height and appearance remained unchanged, Zhang Tie once again changed his race.
Finally, Zhang Tie returned to his original state.
"When you transform into the two forms just now...how long can you maintain it?" The sixth uncle's voice had a rare tremor.
"It seems that you can keep this for as long as you want. It feels very natural and there is no discomfort at all!" Zhang Tie said, scratching his head.
"So... how many times can you use this ability in a day?" Another elder asked, staring at Zhang Tie.
"I haven't tried this yet, but I feel that this ability is like breathing. There should be no limit on the number of times it can be used!" Zhang Tie said while letting his eyes alternately change red, yellow, blue, green and other colors like a rainbow.
Planting colors is not difficult at all.
"Divine Veins, Divine Veins, Unique Divine Veins..." The elder who asked Zhang Tie suddenly stood up from his chair with excitement, raised his hands in the air, and was extremely excited. The two elders who did not stand up from their chairs
, including the sixth uncle, there are also signs of congestion on the face...
Zhang Tie looked at the excited elders with some confusion. Isn't this... just the awakening of an ancestral bloodline that is somewhat useful? Is it necessary to be so excited?
