Although the Seventeen Eastern Families are strong or weak, have different origins, and believe in different religions and philosophies of life, they all retain the ancient family system. That is the basic family structure composed of blood and seniority. The head of the family is the nominal representative of the family.
People. But in fact all the family power is concentrated in the hands of a group of old people. That is the Presbyterian Church. In order to restrict each other.
To prevent the corruption associated with power. The Presbyterian Church is generally composed of four to twelve people. The members are all the purest, highest generation, and oldest clan members. These old people gather in dark rooms and whisper day after day.
Determining the fate of the entire family and even the entire continent. This weird "gerontocracy" is a bizarre sight that Western monarchs could never imagine in their lifetime.
The number of elders in the Long family is not fixed. The current elders have seven members. At this moment, except for Long Jingzhe, the "Nine Methods of Gods" who was assassinated by the assassin, four elders are directing the battle on the city wall. One is in the branch house.
Maintain order. The last person was accidentally injured.
A large amount of elixirs are being used to suppress the wounds in the back house to prevent the curse from invading. The elders are hiding in the darkness. The head of the Long family is revealed; the head of the family is in charge of three houses, one hall and six sects. The "three houses" include the military department Control Crane House (
Under the jurisdiction of the task execution army "Capturing the Dragon Army",
The security regiment "Zongtian Army" and the secret reconnaissance force "Youxian Army" stationed in Pingyin City), the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Internal Affairs Office (in addition to overseeing all matters large and small in the city, are also responsible for the repair and guarding of the outer walls and Dragon Ridge of the Long Family Mansion)
Work), Finance Department Branch Office.
"Yitang" refers to the execution hall responsible for internal investigations of rewards and punishments; and "Six Sects" are the six branches of the Long family with special abilities. They include the "Shadow Sect" responsible for assassinations, vigilance and external affairs investigation, manufacturing and using steam machinery
The "Earth Dragon Sect" of the giant dragon and so on.
Within the six sects, there is a secret bloodline that rarely comes into the sight of the Long family. They are called "hidden sects". No one knows where these people live, what abilities they have, and what tasks they perform. The ancestors of the Long family
The family tree and mourning hall of the Qian clan are always kept in the ancestral hall of the house. But there is no name on the worn yellow paper. It seems that all the Qian clan members are nameless ghosts.
Only the Presbyterian Church knows the whereabouts of this group of people. Ever since the Dragon's Back was successfully built thousands of years ago, the Qian Sect has been isolated on the other side of the high wall. They are the purest heirs of the Long family's bloodline.
Their ancient surname has an almost superstitious obsession and belief. Many years ago, they
The ancestors of the family received such an instruction: In order to prevent unclean blood from causing a catastrophe, the descendants of the Long family must make sacrifices and lurk among the branch families. They should try their best to suppress the "malignant change" with their own abilities. Only the Presbyterian Council can issue an announcement.
The mission ends when the word order is solved.
For thousands of years, the Qianzong has been thriving in the branch's mansion. Together with the ignorant descendants of impure blood, they have lived a life of starvation and sleeping in the open. No matter hunger, disease or death, they cannot reveal it to the people around them.
since
They must endure their own identity until death. Each descendant of the latent sect has a bloodline ability called "Secret Fragrance". Their bodies will emit a faint fragrance that humans cannot smell. This smell can suppress the blood of unclean blood.
A "malignant change" occurs. Only
If there are Qian Zong people nearby, the chance of malignant transformation within a radius of 300 yards will be greatly reduced. Qian Zong elders can exude the "hidden fragrance" to the greatest extent, and forcibly suppress the malignant changes that are about to break out. This is in a critical state.
The branches of the branch family are called "human pigs". There are only one or two members of the Qian sect in a generation who can create human pigs. The branch families all think that they are some kind of magicians or sorcerers. No one knows that they are actually members of the clan family.
The clan family. The symbol of the purest blood of the Long family.
During the riots hundreds of years ago, the "Jie" order was promulgated and the turmoil was quelled within half an hour. The Qian Zong didn't have time to react. The war ended. Time has passed and now, in the blink of an eye, the Shadow Zong received it first. The message was delivered. The horn was blown on the high platform in the center of the branch house. The brass horn, which was sealed in a box and covered with dust, played a desolate whistle. In the chaotic crowd, there were hundreds of ordinary people. The men and women raised their heads at the same time and opened their eyes wide. The Qianzong people understood that once the horn sounded, it meant that the "Jie" word order was activated again. The elders would make announcements according to the level of the crisis. A sound of the horn meant that the Qianzong was not needed. When people are dispatched, it is enough to send the Shadow Sect to mobilize the fighting strength of the branch; and if five horns are blown, it means that the Long family is on the verge of destruction. All Qian Sect members must take action immediately to complete the mission.
The wind blows through countless dilapidated shacks. The long and long sound of the horn echoes through every corner of the house. On the streets where dirty water flows. In the grass sheds full of rats and ants. By the filthy wells. In the stench. In Tian's market, the crowd began to surge uneasily, while the Qianzong people became solidified rocks in the flowing water. They stared at the sky, waiting for the final sign to appear. The horn stopped, sounded again, stopped, sounded again, and so on three times. The trumpet sounded five times. People thought it would not sound again. But without any warning, the trumpet blew the sixth sound. This sound was short and sharp, like the dying moan of an animal. Near a room in the northwest corner of the city In the collapsed thatched house, an old man with gray hair and beard suddenly stood up and spilled half a bowl of yellow corn porridge. A skinny yellow dog immediately pounced on four or five children to lick the gruel. But he hugged him first, greedily picking up the polenta mixed with soil with his hands and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Master, where are you going?" Several men and women shouted in horror. "Please complete the ritual for Ah Mao and Ah Gou first. Scales have grown on their bodies. If you don't cast a spell to turn them into human pigs, it will take a few days. It will turn evil soon. If you think our offerings are not enough, we will still get enough food even if we rob it. Master, please show mercy."
The old man stopped and turned around slowly. A smile appeared on his old face: "Don't worry too much. Guys, six horn blasts mean that our mission is completely over. It won't take a few days. Today is that day." La."
Several people couldn't understand what he said. They were stunned for a moment. When they chased out of the thatched house, they found that the old man had disappeared at the corner of the street. The woman hugged her daughter, stamped her feet, beat her chest, and cried. The girl looked at her mother inexplicably and secretly stretched out her arms. Use your tongue to lick some corn crumbs from the corner of your mouth into your mouth.
Hundreds of people walked silently through the narrow streets. Among the tens of thousands of panicked homeless people, they seemed inconspicuous at all. In the southwest corner of the branch house, near Dragon's Back, there was an abandoned stone house. Inside this big house It was full of poisonous weeds that were harmful to people, so no one wanted to get close. People came from all directions and walked into the house through the grass. They were concentrated in the stone house. The sunlight entered through the defective window, which happened to illuminate half of the old man's face. Face. "Six horns. Six horns." The old man said. "The Long family is going to be finished... It's finally time for our Qian sect to show its strength. In other words, these thousand and hundreds of years of exile have finally come to an end. After today, regardless of whether the Long family still exists, our Qian sect can walk in the world openly. We can tell others that we are the most orthodox Long family. We no longer have to hide. This is great. This is great."
A middle-aged man closest to him said: "Grandpa, listen. The eight secret doors on the dragon's spine have been opened. The Shadow Sect is beating the war drum to rush the family to the battlefield."
"Yes, yes." The old man narrowed his eyes and nodded. "We have to hurry up. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to our ancestors. Are you all ready?"
"Ready. Grandpa/Grandpa Grandpa/Grandpa Taizu." Everyone in the room responded in unison.
"Then let's set off. My legs and feet are not good, so I have to take a step forward. See you at the Long Family Ancestral Hall." The old man pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into his chest with his backhand. He Too thin and too old. A few drops of blood could not flow from the wound. His body fell to the ground like a fallen leaf. A smile of complete relief and relief remained in his beard.
Each descendant of the Qian Zong took out a weapon and stabbed it into his own body without hesitation. Daggers, daggers, arrowheads, bamboo knives, and tiles. Different weapons stirred up the same dazzling blood color. The dark room suddenly became a little brighter. It's because so many people fell down among the poisonous weeds. Blood gushes out and flows along the cracks of the overgrown bricks. There are only a dozen people standing, a dozen children. They are too young and their bodies are not ready yet. Inspires the power of "hidden fragrance". It exudes the invisible fragrance that suppresses impure blood.
When the Long family is about to perish, the Qianzong's way of serving the family is to completely self-destruct. When people die, the "secret fragrance" disappears instantly. The bestiality in the blood of the branch family will burst out unhindered. The "hidden fragrance" that has been suppressed for thousands of years will burst out unimpeded. "Malignant Transformation" will become the last weapon of the Long family. An Asura sword that can not only destroy the enemy, but also destroy themselves. A dozen children bowed and saluted the corpses of their ancestors. Then they left the stone house silently and blended into the crowd. They He will leave the branch house and return to the embrace of the clan after more than ten centuries of absence. He will openly and honestly write his and his ancestors' names on the hidden clan genealogy. However, at this moment, the ancestral home of the Long family has long been destroyed by the army of the resurrected and reduced to rubble. At this moment, Glory is destined to have no tomorrow.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong..." The rapid sound of war drums resounded through the sky. The members of the Shadow Sect waved their whips and drove the family members towards the dragon's spine secret door. The crowd was crowded and trampled. Like a panicked locust, dragons gushed out. Back then, we arrived at the clan mansion that all the family members thought about day and night. However, this place was no longer a paradise, but a cruel battlefield. Terrifying resurrectors came from all directions. The high wall of the courtyard was blocked by clouds and mist. There is a huge black monster blocking the sun.
