Chapter 18:
The elders 'words, the village chief's harsh words, the guards' vigilance, and the entire village's angry gazes…
Shangguan Lin does not pay any attention to him. Qin Yu is even less emotional.
As if there was no one in front of him, he picked up the teacup and touched the tea leaves inside with the lid. Soon, he took a small sip.
After tasting it, he looked at the elders who were no older than a hundred and the youngest was ninety-six.
" Kneel down before the ancestor!" Just when Qin Yu is watching, Shangguan Lin suddenly gives a loud roar. He suddenly shouts angrily, ignoring the astonishment of these people.
An angry roar.
The entire hall was shocked into silence.
However, the people who reacted quickly looked at him in confusion.
There were even people who revealed mocking expressions, wondering if this old mausoleum guardian was stupid.
However, Shangguan Lin seemed to have guessed that these people would do this.
He immediately took out the half token that Qin Yu had given him.
The token was very simple. It was not a gold or silver instrument, but an extremely ordinary piece of iron.
However, there was an ancient word carved on the metal piece.
Although the ancient text was written a long time ago, it was not difficult for everyone to tell that it was a word.
When he saw the metal token.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the village were still lost.
They had never seen such a thing before.
Why did Old Lin use this thing to make them kneel?
He was puzzled.
All of a sudden, the four white-haired clan elders were stunned. They stared at the metal piece in Shangguan Lin's hand in a daze.
" This, this…" The clan elder who was the first to react trembled as if he had been electrocuted. He pointed at the metal piece and wanted to say something, but he could not say anything.
"This is the Wu Clan Token, Old Lin…You... "How could you?" Another elder could not help but ask.
"Quick, take out the other half.”After the two elders said something that made everyone even more confused, an elder spoke to the leader of the four.
The leader of the clan was also shocked. After hearing the words of the clan elder beside him, he immediately reacted. Not long after, he asked someone to pick up an escalator and let a young man climb up to take down a mahogany box.
The box had been left there for a long time, and the ashes on it covered the brilliance of the mahogany.
The leader of the clan did not care too much. He blew away the dust on it and personally wiped it with his sleeve. Then, he took out the item in the box in front of everyone.
An iron object made of the same material as the one in Shangguan Lin's hand was lying quietly inside.
After taking it out, it was also half a piece.
However, the word carved on this half was the ancient word Heaven.
Very quickly.
The leader of the clan walked shakily to Old Lin with the metal piece in his hand. With an extremely nervous gaze, he combined the two pieces of metal into one.
The metal piece was separated from the top and bottom. After it was placed on the top, a flawless token appeared in front of everyone.
After the two pieces of metal fused, a clear Wu character appeared in front of everyone.
After seeing the word 'Wu'.
It was only for a moment.
The four clan elders were so excited that they shed tears.
Then, they did something that stunned everyone in the village.
The four of them knelt down in front of the iron token and bowed.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Why did the elders suddenly kneel down and kowtow?
Seeing the elders kneel and kowtow, the rest of the villagers did not dare to stand up. Even the merchants who were worth tens of millions or were already wealthy, in a breath, thousands of people knelt on the ground quietly.
Only the village chief stood in a daze, watching this scene at a loss.
However, a few seconds later, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he knelt down but did not kowtow.
"Ancestors, ancestors, ancestors. (Wu Gui, Wu Yu, Wu Nan) Greetings, Old Ancestor.”Ignoring the actions of the juniors, the four clan elders cried out in unison.
After shouting, he nodded heavily.
Although the villagers did not know what had happened, they still followed suit.
The furious gazes from before turned into reverence.
After kowtowing, the elders did not get up. They remained kneeling on the spot, but they straightened their bodies and asked in a trembling voice,"Who sent this half piece of iron?”
Old Lin shook his head and sighed,""The four of you don't care who gave you this token. Just follow the ancestral teachings.”
Hearing Old Lin's words, the four elders felt a little awkward, but they did not dare to refute him.
It was also at this moment that the village chief led some people and got up first.
After he got up, he supported the four clan elders."Uncles, no matter what the ancestral teachings are, you're already so old.”
His kind words were also for their sake.
But who knew.
The four elders turned around and glared at the village chief.
One of the elders even slapped the village chief's face and shouted angrily,"Bastard, kneel down for your father!"
After beating up the village chief, he said to the majority of the people who had already stood up behind him,"This token is a token passed down from generation to generation in our Wu Family Village. The ancestral teachings say that seeing this token is like seeing an ancestor. Whoever dares to be negligent will get out of the Wu Family Village from today onwards. All the graves of their ancestors will be thrown into the wilderness. The spirit token is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and the bones are not allowed to enter the cemetery. I want to see if any of you little bastards dare to rebel. Kneel down!”
The clan elder's display of power was extraordinary.
In an instant, the clansmen who had just stood up immediately knelt down.
What a joke. It didn't matter if he suffered a little, but if he implicated his ancestors, he would never be able to raise his head in the future.
Especially after hearing the words of the clan elder, the memorial tablet was not allowed to enter the shrine, the bones were not allowed to enter the mausoleum, and the graves were to be dug up and thrown away, leaving the Wu Family Village forever. To these villagers who had lived in the village for generations, this was ten thousand times worse than death. How could anyone dare to disobey this situation?
I will use the best update to face all the readers, but I hope that all the readers can support me more.!!!!
