Chapter 218: Ancestor Worship Ceremony
Ji Tianci hurriedly withdrew the flame and found that the cuffs had been roasted and browned.
Zhu Zhiyu picked up three incense sticks from the table next to him and handed them to Ji Tianci, the top of these three incense sticks "spontaneously combusted" the moment they were picked up, and Zhu Zhiyu also handed Lu Manwen three incense sticks.
The two took the incense and walked to a few futons not far in front of them.
Ji Tianci was about to kneel down and bow, Zhu Zhiyu hurriedly ran over, "Little ancestor, except for Shennong, I'm afraid that no one here is higher than you, you just kowtow to Shennong." ”
Ji Tianci shook his head: "Here are the ancestors of the ancients of the Nine Shades, and they are of far-reaching significance to the history and culture of the entire Nine Shades, so I should bow to myself." ”
After speaking, he and Lu Manwen knelt on the futon, bowed three times to the spiritual seat of the ancestors, and then inserted the incense in their hands on the incense altar again.
Suddenly, the Zhurong Spiritual Position on the lower floor of the Shennong Spiritual Seat seemed to tremble, and Ji Tianci looked at the Zhurong Spiritual Position curiously.
Zhu Zhiyu didn't seem to notice anything abnormal, he looked at Ji Tianci who was standing in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "Little Ancestor, what are you doing?"
Ji Tianci did not reply, but picked up Tiantong's eyes to observe Zhu Rong's spiritual position. He saw that among all the spiritual positions here, only Zhu Rong's spiritual position was a little different, and there was a trace of fire spiritual power wrapped around this spiritual position, and the fire spiritual power was like a silk thread, one end was connected to the spirit card, and the other end extended somewhere in the mountain.
Ji Tianci looked at Shennong's spiritual position again, he always felt that it was a little special, and he couldn't tell what was special, although this spiritual position was placed on Ji Tianci, but Ji Tianci always felt that it was facing the northwest.
"Zhu senior, is the tomb of the ancients Zhu Rong also here?" Ji Tianci asked Xiang Zhu Zhiyu.
Zhu Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know, there are many Fire Clan people buried here, but there are no monuments, so we don't know what the tombs of our ancestors are in the mountains." However, this place was built by the ancestors of Zhurong, and the spiritual seats of the people with the status of the fire clan in the past generations will be placed here, and my grandfather said that I am a descendant of Zhurong, so my family has been guarding this mountain forest. ”
Ji Tianci lowered his head and pondered for a while and then said: "The fire god Zhu Rong is a person in ancient times, according to legend, he has three heads and six arms, a fierce appearance, and is equipped with firearms such as hot wheels, fire gourds, fire seals, fire swords, and fire bows. ”
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Zhiyu asked suspiciously.
"I can't say it now, I'm afraid of disturbing your state of mind. "Ji Tianci has actually felt that there is an artifact buried in this mountain, which should be the artifact that Zhu Rong has transformed, and this artifact is somewhat unusual, full of the aura of destruction.
When Zhu Zhiyu heard this, he faintly had some conjectures in his heart, he was a hundred-year-old person, and he could naturally see that what Ji Tianci said was a good thing, and he really didn't dare to ask what he was going to see now, in case the little ancestor said that he was going to see the artifact, how could his "old heart" suffer.
He nodded at Ji Tianci, and then beckoned them to stand on the left side of the ancestral hall, "You are the grandson of Shennong, you are the highest generation here, I call the clansmen to come in and worship, you stand here to greet them." ”
After speaking, Zhu Zhiyu walked out of the ancestral hall again and shouted two words to everyone outside the venue: "Clean water." ”
I saw a few boys carrying a basin of pure water prepared in advance in front of everyone, and the descendants of the Fire Clan present cleaned their hands and faces in turn.
Zhu Zhiyu then shouted: "Clean towel." ”
The boys took out several boxes of clean towels, one for each of them, and everyone wiped their hands and faces with towels.
There were more than 1,000 people here, but everyone was disciplined like a soldier, and they came in rows to wash their hands and faces, then took the towels and dried them.
In less than half an hour, everyone had wiped their hands and faces, and Zhu Zhiyu shouted again: "Welcome to the ancestors and ancestors." Today, when the zodiac is auspicious, the descendants of our fire clan carry out ancestor worship ceremonies, and respectfully invite the ancestors and ancestors to come to Heng to eat fruits and vegetables. ”
After that, the boys set up the offering table, and on the offering table were placed three animals, the pig's head in the middle, the whole chicken on the left, and the whole fish on the right.
Zhu Zhiyu shouted again, "Offering fruits", and the boys then placed the fruit on the table, and he continued to shout, "Offering flowers", and the boys placed flowers again.
Ji Tianci looked at these little boys with some curiosity, they ran around without gasping, but Lu Manwen on the side felt a little sorry for these children.
Yun Tiantong saw that these little boys turned out to be extraordinary, although they were just getting started, but their physical strength was much better than that of ordinary people, Ji Tianci thought that he could climb up and down the mountain when he was six or seven years old.
This ancestor worship ceremony was much more complicated than Ji Tianci imagined, and he saw Zhu Zhiyu constantly directing outside. After a while, the music sounded, and a group of old men played the suona, Ji Tianci only listened to it for a while and knew that the players were all master-level figures, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, this suona was about to be lost in Jiuyou, and there were fewer and fewer people who learned it.
The boys gave each of the people present a wine glass, filled it with liquor, and after the three rounds of wine offerings, they offered tea and dinner.
After doing all this, the people of the Fire Clan began to enter the hall to worship, and walked into the ancestral hall in order according to their seniority, and after each group of people entered, they first saluted each other with Ji Tianci, and then knelt down to worship the ancestors.
Lu Manwen felt more and more that he had married into a "famous family", and he was married to an "old man" with a very high status in the clan. Ji Tianci's seniority is so high that even the oldest old man is inferior to him.
Lu Manwen also saw several "acquaintances" among these worshippers, all of whom often appeared on television, including IT magnates, political officials, and artists......
The ancestor worship activity lasted until noon, and everyone returned to the city by bus, Ji Tianci and Lu Manwen also took the bus back, they sat in the leading luxury bus, Zhu Zhiyu was also on the bus, and the other passengers on the bus were all grandfathers and grandmothers.
Everyone gathered around Ji Tianci and Lu Manwen to ask questions, where they lived, where they went to school, and when they would have a wedding wine......
Lu Manwen thought that if he and Ji Tianci held a wedding, Ji Tianci's family would be too huge, and this was still the people who came to participate in the sacrifice today, and I don't know how many there were.
The convoy stopped in a hotel in the center of the city, which was empty, and the feeling was that the group had chartered the entire hotel. There were dense luxury cars parked in the parking lot, and the descendants of the Fire Clan came from all the major states of the Nine Shadows, and those who were closer were all driving here.
The food was already set up in the lobby of this hotel, and Ji Tianci, Lu Manwen and Zhu Zhiyu sat at the top of a table at the front.
At the dinner, there were constantly "juniors" toasting the ancestor of Ji Tianci, and Ji Tianci was also heroic, and those who came did not refuse. Although Lu Manwen said that he also drank a lot, he was a mortal after all, and he was about to drink after drinking for a while, but she was very happy and wanted to continue drinking, she had the illusion that this was a wedding with Ji Tianci, and her relatives and friends were happy wine.
In the afternoon, Lu Manwen fell asleep in the hotel suite, and Ji Tianci accompanied Zhu Zhiyu to greet one "junior" after another, chatting all over the world.
Among these "juniors", mortals chatted with Ji Tianci about family life and the country's economy, and many of the juniors heard that Ji Tianci studied computer science, and invited him to work in their own companies, and many of these companies are still listed on the NASDAQ.
The transcendents and Ji Tianci were chatting about the Fengshen Cup that would be held in the near future, and after hearing that Ji Tianci was also going to participate, everyone shouted that they must take time to watch.
In the evening, Lu Manwen also woke up, and there were still many descendants of the Fire Clan who stayed here for dinner before leaving.
Seeing everyone off, Zhu Zhiyu and Ji Tianci returned to Luoyan Mountain.
