Several elders came over and looked at the embalmed head in front of them with tears in their eyes. Even after hundreds of years, it was still lifelike.
They could tell that this ancestor's facial features were similar to their own, and the bloodline between them and Yu Wentian seemed to be connected.
The next second, all the elders knelt down!
Even Yu Zhanshan knelt down!
As a result, Yu Hai quickly knelt down.
Then, Yu Zhanshan led his family members to bow down to the wooden box.
Yu Ye held the wooden box, neither standing nor letting go. Finally, all the family members stood up. Yu Ye quickly said to Hai: "Dad, stand up too."
Yu Hai nodded, stood up, and then listened to Yu Zhanshan's words to Ye: "My child, how did you invite your ancestors back from the Southwest Palace?"
"Ah..." Yu Ye wanted to scratch his head, but he still had the wooden box in his hand. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't bring it back from the Southwest Prince's Mansion. The Southwest Prince had someone bring it to me."
"What?" Yu Zhanshan and other elders looked at Yu Ye in surprise.
"It's a long story. In fact, you don't have to worry about it so much. As long as the ancestor's head comes back, it will be fine, right?" Yu Ye said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" The elders looked at each other and nodded.
In their opinion, as long as the head comes back, it doesn't matter what method Yu Ye uses. Even if Yu Ye went to the Southwest Palace to steal it, it was still Yu Ye's ability!
Anyway, this Yu Wentian's head belongs to the Yu family.
Even if the King of Southwest sends someone to hold him accountable, the Yu family will not be held accountable.
In fact, hundreds of years ago, the Yu family did send people to sneak into the Southwest Palace to steal the head. However, the experts from the Southwest Palace gathered together, and before the Yu clan members could enter the treasure exhibition hall, they were caught by the experts from the Southwest Palace.
In the end, the Nayu clan was hanged on the Chuncheng Tower by the order of the King of Southwest!
And that wasn't over yet. After the Yu clan members were hanged, they were hung high on the Spring City Tower for public display. They hung there for nine days!
During those nine days, every citizen who entered or exited the Spring City Tower could see the hanging body.
Everyone in the Yu family was in a panic. Many people thought that the King of Southwest would definitely raise an army to investigate the crime, so a large number of people fled.
These tribesmen moved to places outside Chuncheng, and some of them have no contact with the Yu family anymore.
That was the most damaging time for the Yu family!
Later, the king of Southwest sent an envoy to the Yu family and asked the head of the Yu family to go and reply.
As a result, as soon as the head of the Yu family left, he was imprisoned by the King of Southwest and was imprisoned for three years before being released.
These blood and tears are all recorded.
However, the Yu family never believed that what they did that time was wrong.
It is the mission and responsibility of every descendant of the Yu family to let their ancestors rest in peace!
"Yu Ye, you have made great contributions to our Yu family! And this is the first time in hundreds of years!" Yu Zhanshan looked at Yu Ye approvingly and said.
Then, several elders nodded and agreed with Yu Zhanshan's words.
"Actually, it's nothing. You're very grateful!" Yu Ye smiled modestly.
"We have a successor to the Yu family!" Yu Zhanshan turned to the elders and said, "Although we are not very optimistic about this generation of family heads, we already have candidates for the next family head, right?"
"Yes!" The elders responded together!
"Hey, don't!" Yu Ye said hurriedly: "My dad is still in good health now. Why are you studying the next head of the family? Even if this person is me, don't be in such a hurry!"
At this time, Yu Hai also looked embarrassed.
I heard an elder say: "Actually, this is also Yu Hai's credit! After all, he is the current head of the family, and he also made a great contribution in bringing back the ancestor's head during his tenure!"
"Yes, yes!" The other elders nodded.
"Hey, that's right!" Yu Ye said with a smile: "My dad's contribution is huge!"
"I don't think it's too late. We will hold a formal worship ceremony tomorrow and call all the clan members. Then we will bury the ancestor in the afternoon and bury the ancestor's head in the ancestral grave!" an elder suggested.
"No, no! How can we not choose a suitable day? How can we be so hasty?" Another family elder immediately objected.
"I think so. If tomorrow is not suitable for burial, then it is better to wait and at least find a suitable date for burial." said an elder.
"That's right!" Yu Zhanshan nodded and said: "Since this head was not stolen by us, but sent back by the Southwest King on his own initiative, we should not want to go back again. Why are we in such a hurry? I It seems it’s better to play it safe to avoid being laughed at.”
"It makes sense!" The elders who had been silent until now nodded.
"Then let's hold the sacrificial ceremony first tomorrow?" Yu Hai asked.
"You are the head of the family, what do you think?"
Even if this matter can almost be settled, Yu Zhanshan still wants to symbolically ask the family head for his opinion.
After all, in the family, the head of the family has the highest status. If such an important matter is not decided by the head of the family, it would be an overstep.
"I think we should hold a clan meeting immediately tomorrow to burn incense and offer sacrifices to heaven!" Yu Hai said immediately.
"Okay, then this matter is settled. I will inform the clan members overnight."
After saying that, Yu Zhanshan took the wooden box from Yu Ye's hand solemnly and solemnly, walked to the tablets, and placed the wooden box on the wooden table.
Then, he took two steps back and bowed to the wooden box again.
"Let's go!" Yu Zhanshan turned around and said to everyone.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded, and then walked out of the ancestral hall one after another.
Yu Zhanshan was the last one to walk out of the ancestral hall and then closed the door.
On the second day, people from the Yu clan rushed to the Yu family compound one after another.
Before seven o'clock in the morning, most of the Yu clan people came.
On the phone, I heard Yu Zhanshan say that this clan meeting was the most important for the Yu family in hundreds of years. The clan members were very surprised, but they did not dare to neglect it.
The clan members gathered in the yard. Yu Zhanshan walked into the crowd and looked around. Then he walked up to Yu Jinming and asked, "Jinming, where is your dad? I called him yesterday, and the phone number was clearly on Yes, but he just didn’t answer!”
Yu Zhanshan's voice was already loud, and after becoming the chief patriarch, his tone was quite dignified. When he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
Yu Jinxue smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Shan Lao, you ask me who to ask, I'm still looking for my dad!"
"What, your dad is missing?" Yu Zhanshan asked with a frown.
"Ah, no, no!" Yu Jinxue waved his hands hurriedly.
