Chapter 67: The Ancestor Worship Ceremony

In the afternoon, the ancestral hall.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The deafening sound of the drum spread inside and outside the ancestral hall with the vibration of the drum surface.

In the room where the tablet was enshrined, Lian Ge then retracted his mind and got up and stepped out of the room.

Outside the ancestral hall, the people of Lianjia Village who gathered on the front side of the valley field also ended their chats and gathered towards the ancestral hall.

In the front yard of the ancestral hall, in front of the altar table,

Lian Ge stopped his steps again, wearing a white robe, standing silently, his eyes sweeping towards the people who had gathered in the front yard of the ancestral hall.

When the people coming from all over gradually slowed down, and all the people of Lianjia Village basically gathered in the front yard of the ancestral hall, Lian Ge then turned his head and gestured slightly to the person holding the drum.

“...... Boom!"

Finally, the sound of the drums fell, and everyone stopped hustle, and the entire ancestral hall suddenly fell silent.

"The ancestor worship ceremony begins, let's have fun!"

"Ding~Dong......"

The melodious music sounded, and the inside and outside of the ancestral hall became quieter and more solemn.

"Children and grandchildren, separate on both sides, crown and clean hands!"

Lian Ge stood in front of the desk, watching the people wearing plain clothes, and advancing the ancestor worship ceremony in accordance with the ancestor worship ceremony recorded in the "Mysterious Common Sense".

As Lian Ge's words fell, the people gathered in the courtyard followed in front of the desk, divided into two sides, and the clean towels prepared before were brought out and presented in front of everyone in turn, signaling everyone to clean their hands.

With the sound of the bronze chime bell being gently rung from time to time, the ceremony was carried out in silence.

finally

After finishing his hands and looking at the people on both sides of the separation, Lian Ge then turned around and faced the inside of the ancestral hall.

"Burn long incense and recite sacrificial texts!"

When the words fell, Lian Ge stepped forward and picked up the long incense that was lying on the desk.

With a wave of his hand, Changxiang suddenly spontaneously combusted.

Holding Changxiang with both hands, Lian Ge inserted it into the desk, inside the big ding.

Subsequently, the three pillars of long incense stood steadily and straight.

Immediately afterward, a wisp of green smoke lingered from it, meandering into the sky, drifting and spreading.

Picking up the red paper with the sacrificial text written on the desk again, Lian Ge retreated to the front of Ding and Changxiang,

Looking at the many tablets in the ancestral hall in front of him, Lian Ge drove the mana and chanted,

"Wei, at the time of the ancient sacrifice, bring the heirs and grandchildren of the Lian family to gather in front of the ancestral tablet to pay tribute to the ancestors, show the merits of the ancestors, and train the filial piety of the younger generations......

To the Ancestors:

The way of heaven is brilliant, the authenticity is prominent, although the humanity is small, but it is also prosperous, and the Lian family has a long history. Ancestors and ancestors, brilliant deeds......"

The sound of chanting the sacrificial text echoed in the ancestral hall,

Although Lian Ge's voice was not loud, it echoed in everyone's ears and minds like a morning bell and a dusk drum.

Everyone couldn't help but immerse themselves in the sound of this subdued recitation, and the distractions were swept away, and the emotions fluctuated with the content of the sacrifice.

And in the picture seen by Lian Ge's opening of the heavenly eye, along with his recitation of the sacrificial text, the qi in the ancestral hall is also changing.

The fire qi of the people is gathering, the turbidity is being dispersed, and a wisp of clear qi accompanied by the three wisps of lingering green smoke slowly emerges from the void and flows slowly like water from the side of everyone in the ancestral hall.

And the person who was swept by that wisp of clear air, his thoughts also became clear, as if his soul was washed away by a pool of clear water, and the filthy qi was almost gone.

Looking at this somewhat magical scene, Lian Ge couldn't help but slightly empty his eyes, but the sacrificial text recited in his mouth did not stop.

......

Finally, after that wisp of clear air flowed around everyone, the sacrificial text that Lian Ge read finally came to an end.

“...... The ritual of not being shy, but still feasting. ”

The words fell, and the entire ancestral hall fell into extreme silence.

Most of them were still immersed in the glorious chanting and couldn't extricate themselves.

In front of the desk, Lian Ge didn't hurry up,

After confirming that the wisp of clear air had disappeared with the recitation of the sacrificial text, he looked through the door and looked at the ancestral tablet erected in the room.

These ancestral tablets are still the same as before, they are wooden carvings, and there is no aura at all.

Pausing slightly, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, bent down slightly, and flipped the hand holding the sacrificial text, and suddenly the sacrificial text spontaneously combusted,

"Poof......

With a wave of his hand, he threw the sacrificial text into the incense stick.

Watching the sacrificial text burn and turn to ashes, Lian Ge then turned around and looked at everyone,

"Descendants, bow your head. ”

The voice fell,

In an instant, the crowd who were still immersed in the previous chanting voice woke up.

Then, the people who were separated on both sides knelt down towards the main hall of the ancestral hall, where the tablet was enshrined.

"Prostrate!"

"Knock ......"

The sound of lightly buckling on the green bricks sounded, and after the cleansing of the clear air before the experience, the clear-minded people seemed a little religious.

"When the prostrations are over, the descendants of each vein step forward in turn to burn incense. ”

As the voice sounded, the one who had finished prostrating stood up again,

Uncle Tai, who was standing at the front on the left, then walked to the desk.

Seeing this, Lian Ge stepped forward and picked up a pair of candles, flipped his hand, lit them, and handed them to his uncle.

Uncle Tai took the wax, nodded slightly to Lian Ge, turned around, held the wax in both hands, and bowed towards the tablet erected in the ancestral hall.

"Unfilial descendants worship the ancestors and ancestors, and hope that the ancestors will bless the Lian family for generations of prosperity. ”

As he spoke, Uncle Tai inserted the pair of candles into the two small incense burners on both sides of the desk, and then picked up three pillars of small incense from the desk, lit them on the candle flame, and after bowing again, inserted the incense into the tripod in front of the desk.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Tai took a few steps back, knelt down towards the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, and bowed three times before standing up again.

After doing this, Uncle Tai returned to his place.

Then the people who were separated on both sides began to stand in front of the altar in twos and threes, burning incense and lighting wax, and prostrating.

In this link, no one spoke out loud, only the sound of the copper chime bell rang from time to time.

Lian Ge retreated to the side, and didn't make a sound, just quietly watched everyone salute incense and light wax.

......

Time passed slowly, and after only spending more than half an hour, everyone finished worshipping incense in turn and returned to their respective positions.

Lian Ge also stood back in front of the desk,

"Burning incense and lighting wax ceremony, the heads of all veins, come forward to offer wine and food. ”

The voice fell.

Uncle Tai, who is still the most senior, stepped forward.

Walking to the desk, Uncle Tai stopped again, lifted the wine jug that was also placed on the desk, and poured two glasses of wine into the wine glass that was still in place.

"Two cups of vegetarian wine, three melons and fruits, Fu Wei is still feasting. ”

After returning to Ding, Uncle Tai bowed his head, and then retreated again.

Afterwards, the representatives of each vein stepped forward and began to offer wine and food, and at the same time worship their ancestors.

......

Time passed, and after another session was completed, the ancestral hall was quiet again.

"Descendants, thank your ancestors, and then kowtow. ”

"Whoa......

In an instant, everyone once again prostrated on the ground and bowed to the many tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall.

"Knock ......"

The soft knock was evident in the quiet courtyard,

With this sound, everyone also completed the three prostrations.

"Licheng, get up. ”

Lian Ge looked at everyone and said unhurriedly.

Then everyone got up from the ground again,

At the same time, this also announced that all the ceremonies on the first day of the ancestor worship ceremony in Liange Village were basically over, and after that, it was the time for everyone to burn paper and kneel down to worship their ancestors in the main hall of the ancestral hall.

......

Finally, as everyone got up, the ancestral hall, which had been quiet for a long time, was a little noisy again.

Everyone who experienced the ancestor worship just now couldn't help but discuss and exchange the ancestor worship ceremony just now.

“...... Eh, do you feel as if you suddenly felt a lot more relaxed just now, and you feel very comfortable in your heart?"

"Why not, I just wanted to say it, I slept late last night, got up early this morning, I still felt sleepy, and I felt very irritable, just now when Master Lian, Master Bu Lian recited the ancestral text, suddenly I was not sleepy, and now I feel full of energy. ”

"Hey, you said that it is also a true god, my waist pole has been hurting before, and I also said that today's ancestor toss and toss, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of bed tomorrow, but I don't feel it at all now, it is really a god......"

Listening to the sound of everyone discussing in his ears, as well as the eyes that looked sideways from time to time, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, and set his eyes on the tablet spiritual position in the ancestral hall.
