As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the ancestral hall had murderous and angry looks on their faces, and then they all looked at the old man holding the animal skin.
"Chief, fight them!"
"That's right, our Chen family is not so easy to bully!"
…
Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, the sixty-year-old Chen Xingzhen also showed a grim expression. His face was no longer as casual and respectful as before, but showed a trace of indignation:
"Humph, his Li family is bullying my Chen family because they have no one!"
"The whole clan will be annihilated today! My fellow men of the Chen family, follow me into battle!"
The elderly Chen Xingzhen exerted force on his body, revealing his strong muscles under the loose clothes. This made it difficult for Ji Yang, who was looking from above, to imagine that the person in front of him was an old man over sixty years old.
Under the momentum, other people in the ancestral hall also responded fiercely:
"war!"
Everyone was very excited and quickly walked out of the ancestral hall!
In a flash, the ancestral hall became quiet!
All that was left in the ancestral hall was a dead tree and a few bloodless animal carcasses beneath the dead tree!
Looking at the empty Chen Family Ancestral Hall, the fragmented memories in Ji Yang's mind resurfaced.
The Chen family is a small family established near the mass grave hill.
Because there are many resources in the mass grave mountain, there are also many small families like the Chen family.
But resources are limited, so the many small families that depend on them are always at war.
From what they said just now, it was obvious that the nearby Li family came to visit.
Just as Ji Yang was thinking, several angry shouts were heard from outside, followed by the sounds of various weapons clashing.
Listening to the sounds of fighting and wailing outside, Ji Yang wanted to take a look.
Unfortunately, he was just a tree and could not see the battle outside. He could only hear the fierce fighting between the two sides.
"Please ask the ancestor to come out of the coffin quickly!"
After a while, Ji Yang heard the shouts of Chen Xingzhen, the head of the Chen family.
We have to ask our ancestors for help, it seems the situation is not ideal.
But if you think about it carefully, someone came to their doorstep and it was obvious that the Chen family was in the weaker position.
Before Ji Yang had time to think about the origin of the word "coffin", he saw a disheveled member of the Chen family running hurriedly into the ancestral hall where Ji Yang was.
It was only at this moment that Ji Yang noticed that the ancestral hall he was in was only the outside. There was another room inside. He thought that the tablets of the Chen family should be placed inside.
The man who rushed into the ancestral hall fiddled around inside for a while, and then Ji Yang saw him holding up a mutilated corpse and shouting as he rushed out:
"The ancestor is here!"
…
Ji Yang was speechless. It seemed that there was a reason why the Chen family could survive until now!
Sure enough, as the ancestor of the Chen family came out of seclusion, the fighting outside the ancestral hall became much more intense.
"retreat!"
As a strange voice echoed around, the sound outside gradually weakened until it disappeared.
"The ancestors are mighty!"
Amid the Chen family's cheers of joy, the "old ancestor" who had been asked to leave was carried back.
It’s just that the old ancestor, who already had a missing arm, now has a broken leg!
The people from the Chen family who came in with them were also in a miserable state at this moment, and many of them were seriously injured.
It seems to be a pyrrhic victory.
After several people worked together to respectfully carry the "ancestor" back to the ancestral hall and worshipped him again, everyone dispersed one by one.
After a while, the ancestral hall returned to its previous silence.
Looking at the empty surroundings, Ji Yang sighed in his heart.
Being reincarnated as a tree, unable to speak or move, was a great torture for him.
The performance of the Chen family today also made Ji Yang give up the idea of transforming qi and blood into vitality.
The Chen family is so unstable and turbulent that it may be wiped out within two days. Growing up here is too risky.
Ji Yang has died once, and he doesn't want to die a second time.
What's more, this new world before his eyes also made Ji Yang very interested!
He needs to live longer, even if it means turning into a tree!
Night soon fell and the Chen family was quite quiet, with only a few dim oil lamps placed at the main intersections.
In the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, a locust tree only about two meters high stood alone on one side of the hall. Its dry branches were quite weak, as if a strong wind could blow it down.
Under the cover of night, a figure slowly walked in from the main entrance of the ancestral hall.
Ji Yang, who was thinking silently, noticed the movement in the ancestral hall and quickly looked over.
Ji Yang has no eyes, but his consciousness is more useful than his eyes, and is enough for him to see the situation around him even in the dark night.
After Ji Yang saw the figure clearly, he realized that the person here was none other than Chen Xingzhen, the current patriarch of the Chen family.
However, what puzzled Ji Yang was why Chen Xingzhen came to the family ancestral hall so late.
Ji Yang watched with great interest, experiencing a feeling different from his previous life!
After Chen Xingzhen walked into the ancestral hall with slow steps, he did not stop under the sacred tree of Ji Yang, but walked straight into the ancestral hall!
Looking at the many spirit tablets above, Chen Xingzhen sighed, and then began to cry bitterly!
He kept saying things like, "It's not easy for the family! It's going to be destroyed in my hands!"
Ji Yang outside remained silent after hearing this.
In fact, he also wanted to help the Chen family. After all, he was the patron saint tree of another family.
But after considering that he was just a tree, Ji Yang's reason overcame reality.
