Chapter 108 Ye Family
Seven days later, Ding Ze and Li Qing arrived at Twilight City. After the five of them met, they went to the Ye family together.
The Ye family lived in Zhonglie Mountain, a hundred kilometers away from Twilight City. In the era of cold weapons hundreds of years ago, the Fire Cult nation launched the largest raid on Twilight City, which was unstoppable and approached the capital. The general led by the Ye family led 100,000 soldiers to build a position in Juling Mountain. One side was supported by faith, and the other side had no way to retreat. The two sides fought for five days on Juling Mountain. Twilight City was outnumbered and was about to be defeated. The Ye family general organized 100 heroes, including twenty people from the Ye family's direct lineage, and rushed down from the cliff, raiding the enemy camp at night, setting fires everywhere, spreading rumors, and assassinating the main general. All 100 people were killed. Twilight City took advantage of the chaos of the opponent's central army and took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, creating a classic battle example in history where few defeated the more.
The emperor named the mountain Zhonglie Mountain. The largest cemetery on Zhonglie Mountain is buried in Zhonglie Mountain to protect the soldiers who died in Twilight City. Today, Zhonglie Mountain, which has been peaceful for many years, has become a park and is a leisure place for residents of two small nearby cities to spend weekends. The highest mountain of General in Zhonglie Mountain is where the Ye family is located. Before the royal family announced the constitutional monarchy, it gave General Mountain to the Ye family and at the same time awarded the honor of the hereditary count of the Ye family. General Mountain is now a private territory of the Ye family.
The road was directly connected, but when it was halfway up the mountain, the car stopped. In front of it was a bridge built on the abyss, less than three meters away. The driver told several people that there was General Ridge opposite the bridge, and above the mountain roads, including the roads, are all private territory of the Ye family.
Five people got out of the car, and there was a small guard post at the bridge. Two uniformed security guards stopped the five people, very polite: "I'm sorry, there is a private territory in front of them."
Ding Ze said: "My name is Ding Ze, please inform me."
A security guard stayed and a security guard went back to the booth to make a phone call. About ten minutes later, two cars drove across the bridge, and the first car got off and came over to Ding Ze and the others. This man was about thirty years old, with sharp eyes, walking straight and his chest and back were stretched out. However, his face was a bit elegant.
Ding Ze whispered: "Ye Xin, the chief manager of the Ye family, is said to have missed the alliance assessment twice for the sake of the Ye family."
"Are you strong?" Li Qing asked.
"Enhancement System, minor in Strengthening System, Warrior System."
"Double minor?" Li Qing was quite surprised.
Ye Xin walked up to everyone. He placed his hand politely on his left chest and bent down slightly: "Hello everyone, hello, my name is Ye Xin. I have worked hard all the way. The master is waiting for everyone at home. Please come here."
Five people followed the bridge and got on the bus. The car went all the way around the mountain. Cui Ming, Mi Xiaonan and Li Qing were in another car. He saw a cemetery on the hillside and asked the driver: "Why is the cemetery here?"
The driver replied: "There are all Ye family members here. Even after their death, the Ye family is unwilling to be worshipped, so they did not settle in the Zhonglie Cemetery, but buried them alone."
"Are you a member of the Ye family?"
"I'm not." The driver said: "I'm an employee of the Ye family. The Ye family is large and has a large population, so I hired a lot of people."
When the car reached the top of the mountain, it was a large iron door 12 meters high. The left iron door opened a hole to let the car enter. Mi Xiaonandao: "Is this iron door still useful now?"
"The facade needs it." Cui Ming replied.
The top of the mountain is flattened and the area is large. The Ye family is like a miniature city. It has branches, main roads, and green belts. There are many children playing on both sides of the road. Some women are watching the children while chatting about family matters. The driver asks and answers, but the Ye family has no direct or side branches. Therefore, the population base is large. The Ye family now lives in more than 200 Ye family members, not including married wives. A small number of Ye families still have two or even three wives.
Of course, three wives are illegal, but this is one of the privileges given to practitioners by those in power. A practitioner who gets married to an ordinary woman has a 10% chance of his children being a quasi-practice practitioner. It doesn’t matter what feelings are, mainly for the needs of reproduction.
The head of the Ye family is an old man in his sixties. He has been the head of the family for fifteen years. He has three wives and twelve children. Three of them are practitioners, one is the eldest daughter, adopted daughter, and Ding Ze's mother. One is Ye Lun who Cui Ming met before, and the other is Ye Lun's sister, and a woman named Ye Shi whom Ding Ze got engaged in his early years. Neither of these two is the quasi-headed family. Currently, there are three quasi-headed family leaders, one of which is the most recognized by the sideline practitioner named Ding Wen.
Yelun and Jesse, the prince of Twilight, stood outside the main building to greet the five people. After the five got out of the car, they introduced each other and shook hands. Yelun asked everyone to enter. The first floor passed through the building. Behind it was a grassland. There was a stream outside the grassland. A mountain spring flowing down from a high place was artificially diverted. After artificial transformation, a pool of 400 square meters and five meters deep was formed. An old man in brown clothes was sitting on a chair by the pool fishing. There was a tea set next to him, and the power supply was connected from the building to the soaking. A young woman soaked the pool with a light water and placed it on the electrical appliances to boil water.
The old man was the head of the family, Ip Mantian. When he heard the sound, he put the fishing rod aside, turned around, looked at them, and started making tea. There were six small stools on the side of the tea table, which were obviously arranged in advance.
The five people approached, Ding Ze stepped forward and said, "I have met Grandpa."
Others said: "I have met senior." This title was discussed for a long time last night, and finally decided to use the word senior, which is rarely used.
"Well. Let's sit down." The skinny Ip Man-tit greeted me, and the five of them sat down with Jesse, while Ye Lun and Ye Xin stood behind Ip Man-tit.
Ding Ze put a big box on the coffee table and said, "This is what you want."
Ip Man-tung pushed the teacup to everyone and asked, "I'm so resentful."
"No." Ding Ze replied.
The headmaster Ye Xin said: "Young Master, this time I mean, if you don't hold any rituals, you can just enter the genealogy, including your mother."
Ding Ze said: "Grandpa, I already know that my mother is your adopted daughter, and then some things about the Ye family and the Ding family."
Ip Man-ten nodded: "Then I don't need to explain it. Judging from what you mean, I don't seem to be happy."
Ding Ze smiled: "Grandpa, I've finally gotten used to the life of ordinary people, but suddenly I've become a family again. It's like riding a roller coaster. I'm very grateful for my master's praise. In fact, to put it bluntly, I have no blood relationship with my grandpa. My mother, my mother kisses you, I won't kiss you. Grandpa accepts me just to give my mother a face. I think it's okay, I'll walk my own way."
Ip Mantian said: "The aristocratic family has the benefits of aristocratic family. No one dares to provoke you. It will be much more convenient for you to do things. Ordinary practitioners regard things as treasures, but they are very ordinary in aristocratic families. Ye Xin."
Ye Xin took out a big box from the coffee table and opened it. It was a stone inside, which was a large, unforged Force ore. Ip Mantian said: "The aristocratic family has the ability of aristocratic family. This ore is of medium grade. It is better than a large size, and it is relatively rare in aristocratic family."
Cui Ming asked Li Qing: Why did the aristocratic family have Force ore?
Li Qing replied: When building the Hero City, because ordinary people could not work in the Force for a long time, the people who built the Hero City were mainly from four major families. When they transformed the Hero City, they obtained Force ores of different quantities and qualities.
The Hero City was originally a Divine Cult city. Because the huge Force Stone was buried underground, it caused earthquakes and nearby residents migrated. After the alliance was established, the place was transformed. Because it was necessary to dig deeper, ordinary people could not bear it, so the four major families took on this job. During the transformation, they naturally made a lot of scraps. At that time, they did not have the technology to create Force Stones. The four major families used some Force ores as souvenirs. Because of these souvenirs, later generations began to study the forging of Force ores and the creation of Force Stones.
Before this, the Force Stone was extremely rare. The Magic Stone was fine, but magicians appeared thousands of years ago. They discovered that the Magic Stone could increase their spells and began to study the technique of forging the magic stone into a staff. However, the Magic Stone has become increasingly rare with the passage of time. Currently, the only place where magic ores can be obtained is Antarctica.
Ye Wentian said: "I plan to tailor it for you and ask the craftsman to help you create a weapon, equipment or treasure. It doesn't matter if you don't plan to join the Ye family. I will give you this Force Stone."
Ding Ze said: "Thank you grandpa, but I am not a member of the Ye family and I have no right to take this thing. Grandpa should keep it."
"Are you resenting me?" Ip Mantian asked.
"No, grandpa misunderstood. But I think life is easier now than aristocratic family life." Ding Ze said: "Phoenix is reborn and reborn from the fire. Although I am a little ant, I am reborn after drinking, since I am reborn, I don't want to follow the old path again. Many people think it is a blessing to come from aristocratic families, but I don't think so. How many children have to marry someone they don't like? How many families have sacrificed for the family? What is the family? My friend Cui Ming is right, it's just a group of hooligans who can unite together so that they can bully the weak, which is no different from a gang. And as for the Ye family, I respect it for the generations of guarding Twilight City, but I have no feelings for Twilight City."
Ding Ze's voice sank and said, "The most important thing is that my mother did not die of illness, but was forced to commit suicide. If I join the Ye family and the Ding family again, that is unfilial and unwise. If my mother was your biological child, would you still do this? Yes? I will think that the aristocratic family is terrible. No? Then I will think that the aristocratic family is selfish. In my opinion, I will never become a person from any aristocratic family in my life."
"Cough." Cui Ming coughed, came over and whispered: "Where is your Ma Zi?" He married someone, but he was from the Ye family.
Ding Ze had already thought about it and replied: "She has her path, I'll walk my bridge."
Cui Ming nodded: "Seven years of itch, you childhood sweethearts have been too long, and then you feel bored..."
"Cui Ming, do you want to fight?" Ding Ze asked.
Cui Ming smiled and replied: "I just remind you that you don't talk too much. Old man, this is the case. Ding Ze, I can't help but feel excited when I hear some past events. For now, Ding Ze will definitely not join the Ye family, but it's hard to say that the love between children is growing. Let it be natural?"
Ip Mantian looked at Cui Ming: "I didn't expect Ding Ze to have such a cunning friend."
