The early morning sun rises slowly from the East and sprinkles the first ray of sunshine on the Yunbi peak through the thin clouds, making the mountain top of the whole Yunbi peak emit golden light.

At the same time, the whole Yunbi peak was immersed in laughter, and all the faces of the Shen family were filled with a happy smile.

Because today is the day when Shen Jinghua and his Taoist companion Zhuge Mingyue return to the family to worship their ancestors.

I saw that the stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the Yuxiu platform had been cleaned clean, and a red lantern representing festivity would be hung every dozens of steps. Looking from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, it was winding like a circling red dragon, which was spectacular.

In a hall on the Yuxiu stage, rows of tables and chairs are neatly placed. A lot of wine and food have been placed on the table, almost all of which are produced by the family.

Now, although the Shen family only occupies a few Lingshan mountains, the actual control area has far exceeded the past. They not only completely control the whole Linhai County, but also control a part of the islands including the sea area near Linhai county and a small part of the south of canglan county.

Among them, Linhai County once occupied most areas in the process of wujizong invasion. Finally, after Shen huanchi formed a golden pill, he led the Shen family to recover successfully.

After that, Qingyun gate was busy fighting with Wuji sect, so it tacitly allowed the whole Linhai county to become the territory of Shen family.

In addition, some islands near Linhai county were included in the territory by Shen huanchi's people after the dissolution of the alliance.

The last southern area of canglan county is where Liangtai mountain is located. After the war, Qingyun gate was awarded to the Shen family.

Within the sphere of influence now controlled by the Shen family, there are as many as 11 Lingshan mountains and islands above the third level alone, as well as many other industries such as mines and fishing grounds.

It is precisely because of such a vast territory that the spirit wine, spirit fruit and various delicacies prepared by the Shen family for this family banquet are self-produced and self-sufficient, and there is no need to buy them separately.

In the hall, Shen huanchi and Shen Ruiling haven't appeared yet. Shen Ruizhi is directing a group of people in the Qi training period, busy with the final matters of the beginning of the family banquet.

On the other hand, in the family ancestral hall, Shen Yongxuan was directing the people to hurry up and arrange the tributes and incense burners on the altar in front of the ancestral throne.

This is the final preparation for Shen Jinghua and his wife to return to the family to worship their ancestors.

Since it was a family banquet, the Shen family did not invite their vassal families and friendly forces such as the Ouyang family.

However, even if the former was not invited, when the vassal families of the Du family, the Zhu family and the Wei family knew about it, they still sent their clansmen to send gifts in advance.

Of course, in addition to the vassal families such as the Du family, there are many Qi practicing families and San Xiu who want to have some relations with the Shen family, so they all sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

。。。。。。

As the sun gradually climbed, it was almost noon. A bright light quickly crossed the Zhenze lake and then fell on the Yuxiu platform.

I saw that Shen Jinghua and Zhuge Mingyue walked down slowly from the flying spirit weapon landing on the Yuxiu platform.

In addition to the former two, two foundation builders followed them. One of them was Shen Yonggan, who was personally sent to the door by Shen Ruiling decades ago. Next to him was a female monk in blue.

At the same time, Shen huanchi and Shen Ruiling have also appeared on the Yuxiu platform, followed by Shen Ruizhi and several other foundation builders.

"Patriarch!"

Shen Jinghua arched his hand slightly towards Shen huanchi. Zhuge Mingyue standing beside him also bowed and saluted. It seemed that he was still a little restrained.

"If you are a family, you are welcome..."

Shen huanchi nodded and said with a smile.

At this time, Shen Yonggan, who was standing next to Shen Jinghua and his wife, also walked forward with the female monk and said to Shen huanchi and Shen Ruiling:

"Meet the patriarch, fifth uncle..."

"Younger Gu Ying, I'll see you!"

The nun standing next to Shen Yonggan also bowed with her hand.

Soon, Shen huanchi and Shen Ruiling's eyes fell on Shen Yongxuan and the woman. It was obvious that they had seen the relationship between the latter two.

"This is the Taoist couple formed by Yonggan in the zongmen. This time, we also came back to worship our ancestors..."

Shen Jinghua looked at Shen Yonggan and then said with a smile.

"OK..."

Hearing the speech, Shen huanchi nodded slightly. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with the Taoist couple brought back by Shen Yonggan.

"Well, go to the ancestral temple first..."

。。。。。。

At this time, in front of the family ancestral hall, most of the Shen family had gathered there, including the only few Jing generation elders of the same generation as Shen Jinghua.

In addition to these Qi training period people, several Zhuji people in the family also stood in the most prominent position.

The family held a family banquet this time. Shen huanchi called back the family foundation building friars stationed in Liangtai mountain and Tuyang Valley mines. Therefore, there are as many as five foundation building friars now.

Besides Shen Feng and Shen Yongxuan, there are also Shen yonghuan, Shen Yongqi and other monks who built the foundation successfully a few years ago.

Of course, this is not all the foundation building friars of the Shen family at present. Now the Shen family, together with Shen Ruiling and Shen Ruizhi, have a total of 11 foundation building friars.

Just for fear of attracting the special attention of Qingyun gate, several foundation building friars who have just succeeded in foundation building cannot appear in public.

Even though the people standing in front of the ancestral hall are all members of the Shen family, after all, there are many people with mixed mouths. It is inevitable that some things will be spread out.

Soon Shen huanchi, Shen Jinghua and others arrived, and the bell in the ancestral hall rang slowly, rendering a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Although the Xiuzhen family also pays attention to the inheritance between blood lines, it does not have as many red tape as the secular world, so the whole process of ancestor worship is not very complex.

I saw that Mr. and Mrs. Shen Jinghua and Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yonggan walked into the ancestral hall together, successively inserted the fragrance in their hands into the huge incense burner in front of the ancestral tablets, and knelt down piously to the ancestral tablets.

Then an old man of the Jing generation slowly walked forward and read out the sacrifice, as well as the family identity information of Shen Jinghua and Shen Yonggan.

Then, the patriarch Shen huanchi personally added the names of Zhuge Mingyue and Gu Ying into the genealogy with special runes and ink, next to Shen Jinghua and Shen Yonggan.

Finally, under the leadership of the patriarch Shen huanchi, all the Shen people bowed to the souls of their ancestors.

After the process of ancestor worship was completed, all the Shen people returned to the hall that had already prepared the banquet.

For a while, people began to drink and enjoy the delicious food on the table, showing a happy picture.
