Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 428 Vision and recognition of ancestors! Born to be rich!

In fact, although the bone-melting paternity testing method is regarded as a standard in this era, not many people use it.

Poor people just accept it as it is. If they have any property to inherit, they naturally don't have to worry about disturbing their ancestors.

For example, if a noble family member can be lost outside, he is either an illegitimate child, or is not taken seriously at all, and there are few direct descendants.

This kind of illegitimate child is most likely not qualified to alarm the ancestors, and has no qualifications to be included in the genealogy.

Zhao Si's situation is special because he belongs to the Qin clan, the grandson of the First Emperor and the son of the eldest son Fusu.

Therefore, it is necessary to melt bones and recognize relatives.

The clan argued for a long time, and finally made a choice under the pressure of the First Emperor.

After a few days of personal tutoring from the First Emperor, Zhao Si once again stepped into the Qin clan's sacrificial place.

In the open space outside the ancestral hall, the tribute table and animals for the sacrifices have been prepared.

First, an old man solemnly read out the sacrificial rites. The old man Zhao Si did not recognize him, but he looked familiar.

Because the other party is also one of the Nine Qings.

Fengchang!

In charge of the sacrifices of the clans of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, Feng Chang can only be held by the Da Qin clan, and he must be a highly respected person with high seniority, age, seniority, and noble birth.

Not involving national affairs, just talking about the three-thirds of an acre of the clan, the First Emperor could only respect him in front of him, and basically had to follow Feng Chang's rhythm when offering sacrifices to his ancestors.

Zhao Si, a little confused, blindly followed the rhythm and paid homage, reciting the sacrificial inscriptions.

In addition to Zhao Si, the eldest son Fusu and the First Emperor were also present. In addition, there were many highly respected members of the clan.

As for other courtiers, there were none.

After all, this is still a private matter within the clan. Moreover, since the bones are to be melted to identify relatives, the remains of the ancestors must be brought out. Although the evidence is enough to prove that Zhao Si is indeed the grandson of the First Emperor, but in case the key step of melting bones to identify relatives is not If you succeed, don't you have to be laughed at?

The complicated rituals and sacrifices lasted for more than an hour.

When the incense was curling up, Feng Chang Ying kowtowed three times and spoke loudly.

"Invite the remains of our ancestors..."

Afterwards, some members of the clan solemnly came to the altar holding a tray and placed it for sacrifice.

Feng Chang showed great respect for the remains of his ancestors, and kowtowed several times to accuse him.

"The unworthy descendants disturb the peace of our ancestors..."

The general content is to confess the crime first, and then explain the specific incident.

The clan was pretty sure that Zhao Si was the grandson of the First Emperor, but such a thing was too heavy, so they had no choice but to invite their ancestors to bear witness...

It’s a long story again…

It wasn't until Zhao Si's kneeling legs were a little numb that Feng Chang finally finished whispering with his ancestors and reached an agreement with his ancestors. Then an elder from the clan bowed and led Zhao Si forward.

Feng Chang, who was waiting on the altar, handed over a short sword.

Zhao Si took the rather luxurious-looking dagger and felt a little uneasy in his heart for no reason.

Although it stands to reason that bones are relatively loose, especially the bones of dead people...

Looking at it scientifically, let alone Zhao Si's blood, even dog blood and cat blood can most likely be blended in.

But...you must know that Zhao Si's body has already exceeded the category of human beings.

He already weighs five hundred pounds...

It is conceivable that the density of the body is very high. If the density of one's own blood becomes relatively higher due to this... wouldn't it be...

To be honest, this is simply leaving one's destiny to fantasy.

Of course, because the evidence chain has been completely completed, even if the bone recognition fails, Zhao Si is still the grandson of the First Emperor and the son of Fusu.

It's just that the clan will definitely not admit it, let alone recognize the ancestor and return to the clan...

Even your ancestors have disowned you...

Zhao Si pressed the dagger against his palm and exerted slight force.

He looked solemnly at the tray on the altar and stretched out his palm...

The heavy and solemn ritual music was still playing, and the heart-stirring and simple sounds made the usually calm and unhurried Emperor feel a little nervous in his heart.

The First Emperor must have believed in his relatives...

Logically speaking, Zhao Si's identity has been confirmed, and there is no reason for the ancestors to deny him.

But...what if it fails?

Zhao Si's identity will be questioned. Not only that, being rejected by his ancestors also means that Zhao Si has completely lost his inheritance rights...

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si's palm spread out on the altar, staring at it, waiting for the blood to fall, and waiting for the ancestor's final comment.

However...for a long time...the blood stopped falling on me.

Zhao Si drew the dagger in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed...

Broken, the skin is too thick...the sword is not sharp enough.

"This sword is bad!"

Zhao Si opened his palm, showing only a white mark, and raised his dagger to signal the clan elder to change it to a sharper one.

The First Emperor saw something was wrong in the process, but he couldn't wait any longer. Hearing the voice, he didn't hesitate. He just took off the sword from his waist and said, "Use my sword!"

The clan elder hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but took the sword handed over by the First Emperor. Zhao Si drew the sword and held it in his hand. The long sword, which was almost as tall as Cao Cao, actually seemed to complement each other beautifully.

Without hesitation, the sword pointed at the palm of the hand and exerted force!

The white wounds criss-crossed and oozed dense drops of blood.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Si quickly shook his hands into a fist, letting the blood gather into a stream, and aimed at the ancestral bones in the tray on the altar.

Bits and pieces of blood fell on the center similar to the metacarpal bone.

Something happened that Zhao Si didn't even expect!

The blood does not blend in slowly, but blends in like being absorbed.

In fact, normally, even if the blood dissolves in the bone due to relatively loose bone, it will not be so silky.

It's not like melting in, it's more like being sucked in.

What's even more amazing is that the blood is integrated into it without any leakage or slippage. In fact, there is no blood color at all.

"Melt! Melt!"

Feng Chang spoke, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Because Zhao Si's body function was too strong, the wound on his palm had already scabbed over and was no longer bleeding.

However, this is not the end.

Zhao Si noticed that after his blood was absorbed, the metacarpal bones in front of him seemed to have changed somewhat?

It becomes...

updated?

Normally, bones corrode and become brittle and old.

The longer it takes, the looser it becomes. If it takes longer, it will even turn into powder when touched.

To put it bluntly, human bones are still organic matter in nature, and they can degrade naturally. And now... it seems... the bones of the hand, which originally looked full of age, are actually showing a bit of luster.

But the change has not stopped. Visible to the naked eye, the palm part where Zhao Si's blood flows directly into has begun to become as crystal clear as jade. The center of the entire metacarpal bone, which is about the size of a coin, has turned into jade?

Zhao Si looked closely and couldn't tell whether it was human bones or jade.

Not only Zhao Si was stunned, but even Feng Chang who was watching was dumbfounded.

The concept of melting bones to recognize relatives is not without records of characteristics, but this is the first time that a situation like Zhao Si's today has occurred.

"Melt?" The First Emperor took a few steps forward with a smile on his face.

"It's melted, but Your Majesty..." Feng Chang had an expression of uncertainty on his face.

The First Emperor frowned, thinking that an accident had occurred. When he looked closer, he saw that the remains of his ancestors had undergone such changes.

The First Emperor was also quite surprised when he saw this. The people around him had little experience, so the First Emperor finally threw the question to Feng Chang.

"Is there any record of such a situation?" the First Emperor asked.

"There is no record, nothing has been heard of, and nothing has been seen!" Feng Chang said.

"You are in charge of sacrificial matters and can communicate with the ancestors. Do you know why?" The First Emperor said.

In clan sacrifices, there is probably always an elder who is often entrusted by the ancestors with dreams.

But this thing... I understand everything.

Have the clan elders in charge of sacrifices ever seen such a situation?

But the good thing is...

Jade has always carried beautiful meanings and symbols in traditional culture.

The bones melt and recognize relatives, the palm bones become jade...

From any point of view, from any aspect of fantasy, this is not a bad thing.

Is it melted? Melted!

If it melts, it means that Zhao Si has been recognized by his ancestors.

Why is it jade?

“Jade is a mountain stone, but unlike mountain rocks, jade is the beauty of the stone, the treasure of the mountain, and the preciousness of the stone!

Now that the blood has melted into the bones, it is proved by the ancestors that the young master is indeed a direct descendant of the clan.

The bones of our ancestors have been transformed into jade by the blood of the young master. According to our ancestors, the young master is precious and beautiful, and he is born rich! "

Ying Chuan doesn't have much experience, but that doesn't stop him from being an authority in this area.

Besides, I am doing this stuff myself. If I don’t believe it myself, I’m afraid I will have to believe it over time. The transformation of the ancestor’s bones into jade is a good thing no matter how you look at it. Not to mention the First Emperor’s importance and love for Zhao Si, Ying Chuan naturally came to such a conclusion based on what he knew.

Young Master Si!

The beauty of a person is born with wealth!

When the First Emperor heard the sound, a smile appeared on his face. Only Zhao Si on the other side listened in confusion.

Of course he didn't believe this. Now that such a counter-intuitive scene appeared, Zhao Si could only attribute the result to the fact that his body had become completely different from ordinary people under the transformation of the raw jade halo.

Subconsciously, Zhao Si began to wonder, what effect would this thing have if someone drank it?

It won’t extend your life...

Of course, now is not the time to dwell on this.

The bone-melting process was a complete success, not to mention the occurrence of such a miracle. With the endorsement of the elders of the clan, Zhao Si's clan identity was finally confirmed in the true sense at this moment.

Then the natural next step is to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan...

Zhao Si has been wandering around since he was born and has never worshiped his ancestors. As for his ancestors, they have never seen Zhao Si, a child who was lost outside.

In the concept of the ancients, the death of the human body does not represent death in the true sense.

As long as the incense and incense in the ancestral hall are still there, the ancestors are still alive and among the living.

No matter what the reason is, after Zhao Si's identity is confirmed, this child who grew up outside should be brought to the ancestors to have a look and identify him.

This time, it was the First Emperor and Fusu who came together with Zhao Si.

Because strictly speaking, Zhao Si is from the lineage of the First Emperor, so if you want to worship him, you should first worship his direct ancestor.

However, on this occasion, the First Emperor, the grandfather and the Emperor of Qin, was considered a junior, and he had to bow obediently to the First Emperor in front of his ancestors.

Zhao Si followed behind the First Emperor and the eldest son Fusu, paying homage one by one and offering incense one by one.

At this moment, it was as if the rows under the incense offerings were not cold wood, as if everyone was still sitting there alive, and the First Emperor played the role of both an elder and a junior, placing his grandchildren one by one. Bring it to them and let them see it fresh.

After a simple worship, it is regarded as recognizing the ancestor and returning to the clan.

Of course, this is not over.

What I am worshiping now is the spiritual throne.

After that, Zhao Si had to solemnly worship his ancestors.

To put it bluntly, now is the time to call to inform.

Zhao Si was ready and had to pay a visit in person to greet his ancestors.

As for visiting, of course it means going to the mausoleum in person to pay homage to the ancestors.

Thinking about it this way, the gloomy feeling naturally disappears, and instead it is filled with people's expectations for home in this special era.

There is more than just seriousness and dullness here. Just like now, the First Emperor has a smile on his face.

And Ying Chuan, after Zhao Si recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, solemnly burned incense to worship his ancestors and asked for a genealogy.

Afterwards, in full view of everyone, Ying Si's name was written on the genealogy.

Yes, Ying Si.

From now on, Zhao Si can be called either Zhao Si or Ying Si.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Si also has an ancestor whose name has the same sound as him.

If we follow the rules of Confucius, it will naturally be taboo for the venerable, the taboo for the relatives, and the taboo for the wise.

However, the true and strict implementation of this system had to wait until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.

Moreover, Zhao Si's name actually has the same pronunciation but different characters, and there is not much taboo about it. Although there are relatively few emperors in history who have the same pronunciation as their ancestors, it is not impossible.

Zhao Si was worried about this issue before, worried that he would change his name due to taboo reasons, but now he no longer has to worry because his name has been recorded in the clan.

The First Emperor looked at the word "Ying Si" on the family tree, with a heartfelt smile on his face.

He took another look at Zhao Si, who was standing next to him with a respectful look, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

Who would have thought that his great saint grandson would have visions even when his bones melted to recognize his relatives and ancestors and return to his clan?

The beauty of a person is born with wealth!

It’s auspicious!

Moreover, the First Emperor also had information that clan elders like Ying Chuan did not have.

For example, the good saint grandson of your family can increase the grain yield per acre and mutate three livestock and six livestock. The amber ends he raises can be called auspicious.

However, what is auspicious is not the high yield of grains, livestock and amber, but the good saint grandson of the family.

Therefore, Ying Chuan, who said this, may not be sure in his heart.

But the First Emperor was completely convinced!
