Chapter 114 Time flies, and half a month has passed since the Jin family was destroyed.
The family war that lasted for two months was completely over. The final result was that the Wu family and the Jin family were destroyed, the Sun family was destroyed, and most of the clan members were killed or injured, which was a complete and heavy loss.
After the war, the surprising results were spread like a storm. It was basically known to everyone in the Luoyun Mountains, and even spread to Qianchuanfang City next door, and even Huangyang Kingdom in Jingzhou. .
For a time, the Lin family was unparalleled in the limelight and its reputation spread far and wide, becoming the most discussed topic among the monks.
Luoyunfang City has gradually stabilized and its popularity has gradually recovered.
In just over ten days, the Lin family, which invested a lot of manpower and material resources, basically took control of Luoyunfang City.
The city has also returned to its previous calm, major shops have reopened, and monks are coming in and out as usual.
As for the Lin family's control of the market, surprisingly, the Sun family and the basically intact Luo family did not show any indication.
Since the Sun family and the Luo family have not mentioned this matter, the Lin family will naturally not raise it automatically. The three parties have a tacit understanding and there has been no negotiation for the time being.
……
Qingzhu Mountain, the land of the Lin family.
After Lin Xingzhi's message, Lin Tianming and other juniors all returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
Except for Lin Xingrong who guards Jinjiao Mountain and some members of Lin Xingyuan who manage Fang City, all members of the Lin family have returned to Qingzhu Mountain.
A few days ago, Lin Xingzhi went to the northern part of Jinjiao Mountain to look for Lin Tianming and others. After meeting, he narrated the battle at Qingzhu Mountain.
Lin Tianming felt very heavy when he learned that Lin Shiji and Lin Shixin died in the battle.
Lin Tianming has lived in Qingzhu Mountain since he was a child because his parents are monks.
Since Lin Xingrong was stationed in Fangshi all year round, he had been running behind Lin Shigong since he was a child, going back and forth and often dealing with people of all generations.
Lin Shixin had no descendants, so he treated Lin Tianming as his own grandson, often giving him little advice and doting on his descendant.
Lin Tianming has liked this naughty elder since he was a child. The relationship between the two is so good that Lin Shigong once doubted whether he was his own grandson.
Lin Shiji, on the other hand, has an old-fashioned character and treats all clan members equally. No matter who makes a mistake, he will not be merciful. He only relaxed his standards towards Lin Tianming, and the two even cooperated tacitly in the demon hunting experience.
The death of two elders whom Lin Tianming respected so much made Lin Tianming sad for a long time.
Lin Xingzhi also knew that Lin Tianming was feeling sad, so he could only persuade him to practice hard and make the Lin family stronger so that such a tragedy would never happen again.
After hearing this, Lin Tianming, who had a strong sense of belonging to his family, became even more eager to improve his strength to protect his family.
Only if the family is strong and has a high-level monk who cares about it can such a thing be avoided.
At this point, the strong heart has taken root in his heart and is becoming more and more determined.
……
Qingzhu Mountain, inside the Lin family ancestral hall.
After the war, as the injured tribesmen came out of seclusion, the tribesmen outside were also called back.
The tribesmen who died in the war had been waiting for some time, and it was time to hold the ceremony of entering their soul tablets into the ancestral hall.
The ceremony of entering the spiritual tablet into the ancestral hall is often held in the Lin family.
Every few years, this ceremony will be held when someone from the Lin family dies or dies in an accident.
It's just that the ceremony for those tribesmen's spiritual tablets to be entered into the ancestral hall is relatively simple, and not many tribesmen participate.
This time, the Lin family faced a clan war and sacrificed more than twenty clan members at once. They fought bravely and dedicated everything to the , the Lin family attaches great importance to the ceremony of entering the spiritual tablets into the ancestral hall, so they recall all the tribesmen who can escape, just to send these sacrificed tribesmen on their last journey.
Only by placing the spiritual tablets of the clan members in the ancestral hall for future generations to pay homage to, can one be considered to have lived a life and be recognized by the family after this process.
The entry of the spiritual tablet into the ancestral hall is the highest honor of the Lin family and the final destination of every Lin family member.
Of course, there are exceptions. Either the Lin family is completely destroyed and there are no descendants to hold this ceremony, or this clan member has done something heinous and heinous clan members will be expelled from the family. Such people are not counted as Lin family members. Naturally, Unable to enter the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
……
At this time, more than 100 tribesmen had gathered in the ancestral hall.
There was silence in the ancient and heavy ancestral hall. Everyone looked extremely serious, and some clan members were seriously in tears.
In the ancestral hall, Lin Shihua, who had mostly recovered from his injuries, looked haggard. Standing next to him were Lin Shikang and several members of his clan who were still alive.
A trace of sadness flashed across Lin Shikang's face and he said to Lin Shihua:
"Shihua, let's start!"
Lin Shihua nodded, picked up a spiritual tablet from the wooden table next to him, and placed it on the peach wood tribute platform.
After a while, there were two more spiritual tablets on the Shizi generation level. They were the spiritual tablets of Lin Shiji and Lin Shixin.
Lin Tianming looked at the large number of spiritual tablets on the tribute platform, and Lin Shixin's amiable face flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Shihua recited complex scriptures loudly, and then sang about the two people's achievements.
"The clan members pay homage!"
Lin Shikang and other members of the Shizi generation were the first to bow. The Xingzi and Tianzi generations behind them knelt down one after another and kowtowed three times before standing up.
Then the spiritual tablets of the Xingzi tribe fell on the tribute platform. Lin Shihua still read the names of the deceased tribesmen, and then recited scriptures.
The clan members also paid homage, but because they were of the same generation as Xingzi, they did not have to kneel down. Only the Tianzi clan members did so.
After half a day passed, Lin Shihua placed the tributes, lit three Zen incense sticks, and the ceremony of entering the spiritual tablets into the ancestral hall was completed.
Seeing the depressed mood of his tribe, Lin Shikang had no choice but to do anything. Wounds always take time to settle.
He sighed, cheered up and said:
"My fellow tribesmen, just after the war, the tragic process was just like what happened just now. This is the cruelty of the world of immortality."
"Most of the people present have witnessed with their own eyes the process of Shiji's sacrifice and the glory of their sacrifice. I hope you won't be too sad. In front of the portraits of your ancestors, I believe Shiji and the others don't want to see you like this."
"What you have to do now is to remember this period of history, turn your grief and anger into motivation, redouble your efforts in cultivation, and strive for an early breakthrough. Only when you are strong can you protect your family from harm, do you understand!"
Lin Shikang's words of encouragement lifted everyone's spirits. Their expressions showed amazing momentum, and they answered in unison:
"understand!"
After Lin Shikang's admonishment, everyone's face finally regained some vitality.
Seeing the transformation of his clan members and the strong family cohesion, Lin Shikang smiled with relief.
As Lin Shihua announced the dissolution, the Lin family members left the ancestral hall in an orderly manner and returned to normal practice.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Lin Tianming said hello to some clan members and then followed his mother and sister back to his small courtyard.
