Chapter 2126: Luming Ding
In the Panlong world, when He Lingchuan was the commander-in-chief of Yuheng City, the envoy and contact person sent by Lingshan to Panlong City was Lu Xun, the ancestor of the Lu family.
And that was one hundred and sixty years ago.
Lu Xun was soon transferred back, and the affairs of Panlong City were taken over by Xin Yi. Since then, He Lingchuan never saw him again.
The sudden appearance of an old friend still made him feel emotional.
He remembered that Lu Xun once said that the immortal ancestor of the Lu family came from the Dahuan Sect. After the war between immortals and demons, he traveled the world, established his own sect, and joined Lingshan.
Then it is not surprising that the Asking Tree appeared in his memory.
Everyone stared at the screen, not taking their eyes away. Lu Feiyan quietly asked his father: "Have you seen it?"
Lu Zhenxian shook his head: "Not to mention me, the elders and ancestors probably haven't seen it."
Over the years, the jade pendant has been in the ancestral temple or on the clan leader's body. Why would it need to be tested in this way?
Seeing these mirages in the water, even though Lu Zhensheng was prepared, his mood still sank to the bottom.
The jade pendant is real, and the pictures that have been gleaned have confirmed this.
Emperor Jiuyou is really a member of the Lu family! After confirming this, how will he treat Lu Zhensheng and his son who took away the position of the head of the family?
As it turned out, Lu Zhenxian was already impatient before Emperor Jiuyou even spoke.
"This is a great joyous event. Ah Bang, immediately announce to all the people to welcome the return of the head of our Lu family!"
Lu Zhenxian knew that this was said too hastily, but what was the big deal?
He stared at Lu Zhensheng.
How many years have you occupied the magpie's nest? Now that the master's bloodline has returned, you really have the nerve to occupy it and not return it?
If you don't want to step down with dignity, don't blame us for helping you do so.
Thinking of the oppression he and his son had suffered in the past, Lu Zhenxian actually hoped that Lu Zhensheng was ungrateful now.
"Yes!" Lu Qingbang turned around and was about to walk out.
"Wait a minute." Lu Zhensheng knew that there was one last chance to turn the tables, and he must seize it.
He pointed at the jade pendant in the furnace and said, "The jade pendant is real, but it only proves that the emperor has the blood of the Lu family. Even if your biological mother is Lu Xiaoyun from the main family, she is a woman after all. She married far away, and the child she gave birth to will also be of a different surname, and will not be eligible to inherit the main family's business!"
Several elders looked at each other.
That's true. The family business cannot be passed on to outsiders. This is not only the rule of the Lu family, but also the rule of all families in the world.
However, with Emperor Jiuyou's current style, wouldn't it be just a matter of a blink of an eye for him to take down the Lu family?
Rules are useless against people who cannot be restrained.
If they agree with Lu Zhensheng and make the emperor angry, will it bring disaster to the Lu family?
So they remained silent.
Lu Lianyun said dryly: "Isn't there an exception? The son of destiny can inherit the family business of the master family!"
The Lu family is different in that its main family is actually inherited by the "Son of Fortune". Even if the Son of Fortune appears in a side branch, he will be immediately promoted to the main branch.
Lu Feiyan raised his voice: "Yes! Look at the achievements made by the emperor, who dares to say that this is not due to good fortune?"
When you have great fortune, won't it eventually manifest itself in great achievements?
The Lu family has produced so many sons of fortune in the past, but whose fortune can be as prosperous as that of Emperor Jiuyou?
"There are countless people with great luck in the world. The emperor has made great contributions and is indeed very powerful, but he may not be the son of luck for my Lu family." Lu Zhensheng tried his best to remain calm, "Unless he is recognized by the ancestors of my Lu family!"
Lu Feiyan was surprised: "Can the son of destiny be identified?"
"I've never heard of it!" Lu Zhen first denied it, then asked the elders, "Second uncle, fourth uncle, have you ever heard of it?"
Lu Lianyun shook his head. He really didn't know.
Lu Lianqing said, "The Son of Fortune is the key to the Lu family's continuity, order, and prosperity. If there is no identification method, the Son of Fortune would have long since passed on to another family, and how could it be passed down in the Lu family? However, in the past hundred years, two Sons of Fortune have appeared in the main family, and their characteristics are very distinct and there is no dispute. There is no need for additional identification, and most of the clan members don't know about it."
This identification method is meant to resolve disputes. Otherwise, if both Lu Lao Da and Lu Lao Liu believed that their son was the son of luck, what would they do if they had no standard to judge?
However, in the past hundred years, only two sons of luck have appeared, so most members of the Lu family are not familiar with this process.
Human life span is too short, and some knowledge is lost from generation to generation without us noticing.
Lu Zhenxian was curious: "How is it determined?"
"I only know that it is related to the secret treasure passed down from our ancestors, and the process was carried out behind closed doors." Lu Lianqing pointed at the incense burner and said, "For the rest, I'll probably have to ask the head of the family."
"Uncle is right!" Someone chimed in, and Lu Zhensheng continued, "Did you see this piece of brass in the furnace? Our Lu family's ancestor forged this Luming Furnace based on this piece of brass. If the emperor wants to determine whether he is the son of destiny of the Lu family, he only needs to press his hand on this piece of brass. It will naturally give the answer."
Brass scraps?
Everyone by the stove stretched their necks to look inside, and finally saw with the help of the skylight that there was indeed a piece of brass near the mouth of the cauldron. It was irregular in shape, as if it had been broken off from a ring.
He Lingchuan looked at it and it looked very much like something he had eaten in another world, half a donut.
He glanced at Lu Zhensheng, who avoided his gaze as a sign of respect.
Don’t be impatient and don’t let the secret show!
Emperor Jiuyou did not reach out his hand directly as Lu Zhensheng expected, but asked him first:
"Do you know the origin of this piece of brass?"
"There are not many records in the family history. It is only said that this was obtained by the Immortal Ancestor during the battle between Immortals and Demons. Later, it was refined into the Deer Crying Cauldron, and became a family heirloom along with the jade pendant."
"Obtained from the battle between immortals and demons?" He Lingchuan asked again, "From whom did you get it?"
"That's not clear. It's not recorded in the clan history and the history is very long." Three thousand years have passed and there's no record in the clan history. Who can I ask?
He Lingchuan then lowered his head and looked at the Luming Ding.
"This guy doesn't want to give up the position of the head of the family. He must be up to no good. Master, please be careful!" The soul-catching mirror in his arms reminded him, "This fragment has an unknown origin. Why would the Immortal Ancestor of the Lu Family expand it into an incense burner for no reason?"
He Lingchuan snorted secretly. The Soul-Capture Mirror only told him to be careful but didn't reveal the secret, which meant that it didn't see what was so special about this thing.
This large incense burner has been in front of the ancestral temple for too long, and the accumulated incense ash has completely covered the brass fragments. Normally, no one can touch it.
Maybe this is also a kind of protection.
Every word that Jingzi said was correct; Lu Zhensheng had bad intentions.
Lu Feiyan suddenly said, "Wait, if touching the brass fragment can determine it, how many people in our Lu family have activated it? Why didn't there be any unusual phenomena before?"
