Chapter 164 The Reason for the Zhang Family's Decline
"Which branch of the clan is this? Has the Zhang family really reached the 'Hai' generation now?"
Zhang Molan asked curiously, and Zhang Moyu suppressed his joy the first time he saw the information.
The first piece of information contains the specific information of the tribe members.
At a glance, all of them have Qiongqi bloodline, and the blood concentration fluctuates between 10% and 20%. After careful selection, there are only a few people who can be seen.
One is the leader of that small group, named Zhang Haike, who has 50% Qiongqi bloodline, is already an adult, has decent kung fu skills, is loyal and honest, but is a bit naive and likes to dwell on trivial matters.
One is called Zhang Haiyang, who has 30% of Qiongqi blood. His kung fu is not very good, but he is smooth and eloquent, and stands out among the brainless Qiongqi fools.
There are two left. One is a little unlucky guy who has a high concentration of Qilin blood, but was tattooed with Qiongqi, which artificially interfered with the differentiation of his bloodline, resulting in a weak body. His descendants are likely to inherit his bloodline, so you can pay special attention to him.
One is a lucky person who has 30% Qilin blood and 20% Qiongqi blood, but has not yet gotten a tattoo. He will naturally become a member of the Qilin clan in the future.
"Didn't they say they found a branch of the Zhang family overseas? It seems they're all Qiongqi..."
Zhang Moyu discovered the blind spot.
Zhang Benling, who was standing next to him, reached out and operated the laptop, and the computer window instantly changed to another document.
At the same time, he thought about it in his mind and considered for a while before speaking.
"Before I got into trouble, I went to the Qiongqi clan to discuss surrender. Now it seems that the Qiongqi clan must have abandoned their surname and independence and completely joined the Zhang family."
The expression on Zhang Moyu's face was strange, and it seemed that he was hard to describe it in words. Zhang Molan took a deep breath, but finally couldn't help it and spoke bluntly.
"Which idiot agreed to this? Didn't they use their brains? If it were any other bloodline family, this level of submission and integration would be fine, but don't they know what those Qiongqi are like?"
In the past, when bloodline families were rampant, there was also a chain of contempt between bloodlines.
The Qilins, who are born from the womb and become super-versatile talents when they grow up, are the top group.
The little Qilins are all brave and good at fighting. They are not only good at literature and martial arts, but also good at singing and dancing. There are two types of people that they look down upon the most in their lives.
One is stupid, brainless and undisciplined, and the other is unable to read other people's expressions. Coincidentally, these two are the nouns attached to Qiongqi.
There was a consensus among the sorcerers in the pre-Qin period that the people of the Qiongqi bloodline seemed to have some brain disease.
He is stubborn and will not turn back even if the wall is broken. Once he makes a decision, he will stick to it even if he knows it is wrong, and no one can change his mind.
He likes to be clever, is good at moving himself, looks at things one-sidedly, and his horizons are limited to the small world in front of him.
The most important thing is that people of this bloodline are innocent and easy to be deceived. There are quite a few infatuated people. There are people who are crazy about love, mad about love, and even bang their heads against the wall for love.
This is simply a rare and clear stream in a long-lived family with a continuous bloodline.
All we can say is that the Qiongqis have been able to continue their bloodline only because they rely on their super powerful and sensitive intuition to avoid danger and seek good fortune. Their only other advantage is that their fighting power is strong enough.
With this level of integration into the Zhang family, the conservative estimate of intermarriage would be over 40%. This level of blood mingling would not directly lower the IQ of the entire Zhang family, right?
Zhang Molan was deeply skeptical about this.
He suddenly felt that the reason why the Zhang family had fallen into such decline might be because the Qiongqi lineage had joined them.
Otherwise, those little unicorns in his family are all as smart as ghosts. Apart from the forced family mission of exorcising evil spirits, they spend all day doing all kinds of things in heaven and earth. They are heartless and lively. How could they be willing to disappear quietly in the long river of history?
Zhang Benling actually thought so too, but he also felt that the situation was so bad now that there was no point in worrying about these things, so he did not bother to show off to those outsiders whom he had never met in front of the two elders.
Although those Qiongqi indirectly harmed the Qilin lineage, this cannot be blamed entirely on them. The Qiongqi, who were not very smart, just wanted to find a backer to rely on and win without any effort.
"The Qiongqi lineage is quite loyal and wholeheartedly devoted to the family."
The reason why the uncertain word "can be considered" is used is because Zhang Benling is not quite sure whether they are loyal or not.
By means of engraving totems, they artificially intervened in the bloodline selection and turned all the tribesmen who had the potential to become Qilin bloodline into Qiongqi bloodline.
Although this may be because the older generation passed on wrong ideas, causing them to think that the main family and the outer family are separated, and that the outer family can only be an outer family.
But in the final analysis, this essentially means they have dug up Qilin's territory. If things continue to develop in this way, without the appearance of the Zhang family elders and the presence of other Zhang family members, Qilin's roots will be cut off in a few decades.
Then again, the Zhang family is now in decline, and none of the families that once depended on them for survival can be seen now. It is unknown whether they have set up their own families or declined with them.
As Qilin's family also encountered trouble, in the end it was these foolish and poor people who were still struggling to hold up the Zhang family's facade. This was indeed something they had not expected.
"Considered loyal? Well, we have to see what kind of loyalty you have!"
Zhang Moyu looked at the recorded information with a slightly cold gaze. Although the Zhang family members had always kept it brief and concise, so he didn't understand it in detail, the various factors pointed out were enough for him to piece together the facts.
There are indeed many reasons for the downfall of the Zhang family, but the trigger was the head of the family, Zhang Ruitong, the patriarch of the "Rui" generation.
The patriarch of the "Sheng" generation was very outstanding, but when he was out on patrol, he suddenly received an urgent task in a hurry and then disappeared inexplicably.
Disappeared with him were the leaders of Gua Zong and Wu Zong, six personal guards and three clan elders. Less than one tenth of the entire Zhang family's senior management remained, and the family was instantly in chaos.
Zhang Ruitong, the clan leader of the "Rui" generation, was elected by the chief of the craftsman clan and the remaining two clan elders. After he took office, many people in the clan were dissatisfied, but due to their status, they behaved respectfully.
The previous clan leader and the senior members of the clan left in mysterious circumstances, and the whole thing was unclear. The previous clan leader himself was nowhere to be found, and his body was nowhere to be found.
Although many powerful members of the tribe spontaneously investigate the truth behind the previous chief's mishap, hoping that he will return, or trying to find the weakness of the current chief to see if he was the one behind it, all of this is within normal limits.
Perhaps because Zhang Ruitong had never experienced a proper transfer of power as a clan leader, he had a strong inferiority complex. In addition, the bronze mother bell that served as the clan leader's token was lost. He felt that his position was not legitimate, so Zhang Ruitong could not sit still.
His own ability is not as good as the previous clan leader, and the clan members of this generation are not very good either. Choosing him is just like picking a general from among the short ones. There is really no choice.
Zhang Ruitong's character is not well-cultivated. He was easily fooled by the scheming people around him. He said in front of everyone that whoever can find the lost clan leader's token can succeed him as the clan leader of the "Rui" generation.
His behavior was to treat the position of patriarch as a joke and throw the patriarch's authority into the ground!
When Zhang Moyu saw this, he was so furious that he gritted his teeth and couldn't even utter a curse word.
The result is predictable. After the position of the patriarch lost its uniqueness and dominance and fell from the altar, naturally everyone wanted to take the position. Then, without the pressure of the older generation, a brutal internal struggle without rules and constraints began.
Middle and senior management were either dead or injured, and Zhang Ruitong himself collapsed at the last moment of retrieving the bronze mother bell.
By the time those clueless little Qilins discovered that their once powerful family had been messed up by them and was on the verge of decline, it was too late to regret.
At this time, the only remaining senior leaders wanted to stabilize the situation within the clan, consolidate people's hearts, and then slowly restore the vitality of the family, so they came up with a crooked trick.
A scam involving a three-thousand-year-old holy baby made the child with the highest concentration of Qilin blood at the time the new patriarch. In order to highlight the difference of this patriarch, he disregarded the ancestral etiquette and directly opened two generations at once, dividing the generations by region.
Children born in China have the "Shan" generation name, but their names are like "Zhang Moushan".
Children born abroad are named with the character "Hai" in their generation name, in the format of "Zhang Haimou".
