The great elder read some ancestral precepts and then stopped.
He had just come out of seclusion when he received news that the clan leader was discussing letting the clan members who came back from Xiaowangshan go mining.
Although he has been in seclusion for decades, whenever something big happens in his family, someone will naturally report it to him.
Seeing that no one came out to speak, he continued: "Patriarch, I have been in seclusion since before you took over the position of patriarch, and I have never interfered with anything in the family in the past few decades."
The head of the Ji family responded quickly: "Yes."
At that time, there was a competition for the position of clan leader. The great elder received the news but continued to retreat.
As long as the great elder shows a little interest, he may not be able to take the position of patriarch.
"For hundreds of years, the Ji family has never had an outstanding child, and our group is just resting on the ancestor's merit list. Nowadays, each generation of the Ji family is worse than the last, and the children are indolent and unwilling to make progress. I thought it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity in the black crystal mine and arrange for all the family members to be there, as jade cannot be polished to make a weapon."
"Great Elder, what do you mean?" The head of the Ji family was a little confused. Did he understand it?
"What I mean is that as long as the children of our Ji family reach the age of fifteen, they should go to the mines and contribute to the family."
…
It was already two days later when Ji Qingling heard this information.
Starting next month, all members of the Ji family, except those who are already employed.
All other tribesmen over the age of fifteen must work in the mines.
It rotates every three months and lasts for one month.
Sure enough, asking them to come back was no good, it was actually mining!
The village chief raised his hand to appease everyone, and now he asked everyone to call him Uncle Jin De.
It turns out that Ji and the others have a cycle of two months and one month at a time.
This time the clan leader issued a message that all the elders and juniors in charge who did not have to go originally must go.
There are a lot more people, so naturally it doesn’t have to be as hard as before.
Okay, so that sounds acceptable, and bringing them back isn't treating them special.
Now he just works like other tribesmen to get spiritual stones.
Ji Jinde also informed the children that they were going to study at the Qingxin Hall in the clan.
He also called Ji Linhai, Ji Qingshan and several foundation-building monks out.
Ji Linhai came back in the evening.
Ji Qingling wondered if her father didn't get along with Tongcheng.
Ever since he said he was going back to Tongcheng in Xiaowangshan, there has never been a smiling face again.
Ji Qingyuan winked at Ji Qingling, meaning you should go and ask.
Ji Qingling thought to herself that I wanted to know, not that I went because you asked me to go.
"Dad, are you going back to the main house to meet the clan leader?"
Ji Linhai saw that the other two people also looked like they were waiting for his reply.
"Well, today we met the clan leader. Not only did we meet the clan leader, but the second elder also called me over alone."
Second Elder, so her father looked in a bad mood because of the Second Elder?
Mo Sanniang didn't want to see her husband depressed, "What did the second elder say to win you over?"
Ji Linhai smiled bitterly: "Of course it's about the deep brotherhood we had with my father back then. However, the patriarch has suppressed him too much in recent years and he really can't take care of us."
Mo Sanniang felt relieved.
"Don't be angry. That day we thought that he would win over the people in Xiaowangshan through you. When we decided to come back with everyone, didn't we agree not to dwell on the past?"
"Of course I remember it, but his hypocritical face makes me unworthy of my father."
"What does the clan leader want from you?"
"Clan leader? Of course, what he said is what the head of the clan should say. Although the family has been hit hard now, he will never abandon us. In difficult times, we must work together to tide over the difficulties. We must also serve the family loyally. These words ."
Early in the morning, Susu came excitedly and called her and Ji Qingyuan.
Today is their first time attending a class in the tribe. Little girl Susu is so excited that she can even jump up and down when walking.
Before leaving, Ji Qingling saw that the two people had no intention of calling Ji Yuxiu.
She is an adult on the inside, and she really cannot do anything to isolate Ji Yuxiu with others when she has not messed with her.
She had no choice but to be that sensible child, "Sister Yuxiu, we are going to Qingfeng Hall for class. Will you come with us?"
Sure enough, Ji Qingyuan in front stared at her, and Susu pouted at her.
Ji Yuxiu, who had been waiting in the house for a long time, came out happily when she finally heard someone calling her.
"Why are you in a hurry? It's still early. When you get there, don't look around and let others look down on you."
Well, people call her that kindly, and she opens her mouth to lecture others as soon as she comes out.
"Susu, why do you only call them and not me? How come you are imitating others to bully me at such a young age?"
Ji Qingling really regretted calling her now. She was only two years older than them. How could she pretend to be an adult? How could a naughty child be so annoying?
"Sister Yuxiu, why do you hate me so much? I call you and you still dislike me? Are you bullying me for being young?"
"I'm not……"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Qingyuan over there was already impatient.
"Hurry up! The girl is annoying and whining. Come here quickly, I'll go find Ji Ping'an first."
"That's right, it's annoying to be grinding. Xiao Lingzi, hurry up and catch up." Susu shouted and ran away.
Ji Qingling followed immediately this time.
In Qingfeng Hall, Ji Qingling met the third elder who had been to Xiaowang Mountain last time.
He stood next to a monk with a somewhat respectful attitude.
"Quiet."
These two words seemed to convey coercion, causing the crowd that had some noise to fall silent instantly.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and faced them.
"I am Ji Huaishan, the eldest elder of the Ji family."
The Yuanying elder of the Ji family?
Ji Qingling was a little surprised, so Elder Yuanying did not look like an old man with a white beard!
“I have been in seclusion these years, so many of you have never seen me.
Because there are new disciples coming to Qingfeng Hall to attend classes today, I would like to take this opportunity to explain a few things clearly to you.
Forget your original identities, you are not tree watchers, let alone side branches. Everyone sitting here is the same, they are all descendants of my Ji family.
No one cares who your parents are, the family only cares about your abilities.
Your spiritual roots, talent, understanding, and hard work determine your status in the family. "
Ji Qingling looked at Ji Ping'an, Ji Qingyuan and the others. After hearing these words, his back straightened a little straighter than before.
So today we have an ideological and moral class?
"Our ancestors were god-transforming monks, but now our Ji family...
Now that the red pearl tree in Xiaowang Mountain has been destroyed, it was the family property left by our ancestors, but it was destroyed in our hands.
If we don't stand up, I'm afraid there will no longer be any descendants of our Ji family on the road to immortality in a few hundred years. "
Ji Huaishan saw the junior below and hoped that today's words would have some effect.
He then announced the family's new arrangements.
"From today on, all members of the Ji family who are under the age of fifteen in the Qi Refining Period can receive corresponding elixirs and spiritual stones from the Ji family.
You will not get an extra spiritual stone just because you are a clan leader or a descendant of an elder.
The top ten with the highest cultivation level at the same age will receive more rewards.
In addition, a small competition will be arranged among the clans every year, and there will be rewards for the top ten in the three realms of Qi refining period. "
