The drums beat and the trumpets sounded!

In the entire Fang family mountain gate, all the Fang family members changed their previous diligence, everyone came down from their respective peaks, and finally, came to the foot of the ancestral peak.

The ancestral shrine of the Fang family is on the ancestral peak, but the ancestor worship ceremony is not held on the ancestral peak.

After all, the Fang family had 100,000 disciples, and all the disciples had to travel on the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, and there would not be so many people in one ancestral hall at all.

It's bright!

All the disciples of the Fang family put down everything they were having, and then walked towards the back of the ancestral peak under the leadership of the deacon and steward, where there was a huge square, and this square was not open to the public on weekdays, and only on the day of the ancestor worship ceremony could you enter.

Fang Ming did not follow his aunts Fang Yuan and Fang Yang, but followed behind the Nine Elders, and was also the first group to appear in front of this square, and by his side were the hall masters and Dharma protectors of each hall.

In front of him, there were the ten elders of the Fang family, and the ten elders who did not appear easily on weekdays all appeared at this moment, standing at the front of the square with solemn expressions.

The disciples of the Fang family in the back looked at these ten elders, with a scorching and respectful look in their eyes, the reason why the Fang family can become the number one family in the cultivation world is because of these ten figures, each of them is a big person who can make the cultivation world tremble by stomping his feet.

And it was these ten big men who were standing in front of the square at the moment, without the breath of a heaven-level powerhouse, because all the people in this square were their ancestors.

The square is very large, there are many statues erected, there are more than seventy statues in total, and Fang Ming has already learned that every statue here is a heaven-level powerhouse of the Fang family, as long as he steps into the heaven-level, when he is old, the clan will erect a statue and enjoy the worship of the disciples of the Fang family in the future.

For many disciples of the Fang family, their lifelong goal is to hope that after their death, their statues can be erected in this square, just like when Tang Taizu built the Lingyan Pavilion after ascending the throne, and for all the officers at the beginning, it was the highest glory in their lives to be able to make the portrait appear in the Lingyan Pavilion.

There are more than seventy statues, which means that the Fang family has produced a total of more than seventy heaven-level powerhouses in the past thousand years, which is a terrifying number, and this is also the foundation of the Fang family.

"At the end of the year, the earth is rejuvenated, and Vientiane is renewed ......"

The great elder of the Fang family opened his mouth to chant at this moment, "The descendants of the Fang family, play bells and drums, pay tribute to the mellow wine, sacrifice the spirit of the ancestors, remember the prestige of the ancestors, and thank the ancestors of our family for overcoming obstacles and thorns, establishing a clan in the middle of the micro-end, and rising in the land of China." ”

"Huanghuang my ancestors, meritorious participation for all generations; ”

"The great ancestors, raise the prestige of my family, do your best, and die. ”

……

"Today, the disciples of the Fang family will bring the descendants of the Fang family to worship the ancestors, worship the ancestors of the past dynasties, and hope that the mausoleum keepers will allow it. ”

Hearing the Great Elder's last words, Fang Ming's expression was stunned for a moment, with the status of the Great Elder in the Fang family, worshipping the ancestors still had to get the permission of others?

Just when Fang Ming was puzzled, a figure with a back appeared in front of him, this was an old man, the old man was holding a broom in his hand, and he was sweeping the dust on the ground.

"Sweeper?"

The first thought in Fang Ming's mind was the word "sweeping monk", although he was not a fan of martial arts, but he also knew that among a certain master, the most powerful martial artist was a sweeping monk with a poor appearance.

Could it be that the Fang family is also so bloody? An old man guarding the mausoleum is terrifying?

When the old man appeared at the tomb, the ten elders saluted the old man, but the old man did not respond to them, and the next moment the figure disappeared in place.

"Ancestor worship hall, begin. ”

When the old man disappeared, the voice of the Great Elder spread throughout the audience, and then he took the lead into the square, and the other clansmen followed, of course, every time they walked past a statue, they would stop to pay respects.

100,000 people enter the temple, just like many tourists go to the temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense, everyone comes in order, but there will be no crowding.

"Is it as simple as worshipping our ancestors?"

Fang Ming looked at the crowd of worshippers, the entire ancestor worship ceremony, the Fang family began to prepare so long in advance, although such an ancestor worship ceremony can increase the family disciples' sense of belonging and glory to the family, but there is no need for the entire family to participate, it is completely the same for everyone to worship in their own homes.

While Fang Ming was pondering, a shout of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.

"My son was favored by the ancestors, and my son was favored by the ancestors. ”

The voice came not far behind Fang Ming, Fang Ming looked back, and saw a middle-aged man shouting excitedly, and beside him there was a child kneeling in front of a statue, exuding a golden light.

The middle-aged man was no more than the third layer of the ground level, and the child was five or six years old, and he had not yet started cultivating at this age, so he just looked at his father with a blank expression.

"It's true. ”

"A lucky winner was born so soon, and in the past, there were only three or four lucky people at the end of the whole ceremony, and it would not appear so early. ”

"Now this kid is going to soar into the sky, even if he is not personally accepted by the elders, then at least he will be accepted as a disciple by those hall masters. ”

Hearing the discussion of the people around him, the curiosity on Fang Ming's face became even stronger, and Fang Hai, who was standing beside him, saw Fang Ming's puzzled expression, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to explain.

"This ancestor worship ceremony is not just as simple as worshipping the ancestors, it is said that these sculptures have the souls of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and there are thousands of ways to cultivate, some cultivation methods are suitable for this kind of people but may not be suitable for that type of person, so it is extremely important for cultivators to choose the right cultivation method for themselves. ”

"The statues of these ancestors can sense the descendants, if they find a suitable seedling, they will descend the blessing fate, and the disciples who are blessed by the fortune, if the talent is good, the elders will personally accept the apprentices, but even if it is bad, it will be accepted by us as disciples, and then carefully cultivated, even if it cannot break through to the heaven-level realm in the end, at least there is no problem in cultivating to the late stage of the earth-level level. ”

Hearing Fang Hai's explanation, Fang Ming immediately understood, this is the true meaning of the entire ancestor worship ceremony, selecting disciples with outstanding talents, and then cultivating them.

After all, there are no so-called talent test props in these years, and as for the bones in martial arts, Qingqi is not much use for cultivation.

The child who was favored by the ancestors of the Fang family was immediately taken down, and the large army continued, however, a quarter of an hour later, there was another exclamation, this time a teenager was selected.

"Could it be that the ancestor appeared, our Fang family is going to the next level, and there is a second one who has been favored by the ancestors so soon. ”

Fang Hai muttered, but then his face showed joy, the more talented disciples there were, it was a great thing for the Fang family.

Two, three, four......

When Fang Ming followed the worship procession and was about to reach the end of the square, all the Fang family members were excited, because there were actually twelve disciples who were selected by the ancestors this time.

In the past ancestor worship ceremonies, it was already very good to have three or four, most of them were one or two, but now it is five or six times more all of a sudden, which means that their Fang family will go to the next level.

If a family wants to prosper forever, it depends on a steady stream of fresh blood to grow up, and this time there are twelve disciples who are favored by the ancestors, which ensures that the family will not decay for the Fang family.

When the Fang family was happy, the expressions of the ten Great Elders were a little dignified, at their level, they had to consider things very comprehensively, and the twelve disciples were favored by the ancestors, which was indeed a good thing, but it could also have other meanings.

"Come with me. ”

The old man guarding the tomb didn't know when he appeared again, and at the same time, his gaze was also looking at Fang Ming, "You can come with it too." ”

Seeing the old man naming Fang Ming, the Great Elder and the others were not surprised, Fang Ming was the first person below the Heaven Level, and he was already qualified to know the secrets of the Fang family.

At the end of the square, there was a stone house, this room was where the old man who guarded the tomb lived, and at this moment, Fang Ming and the ten great elders were standing there respectfully.

Facing the old man guarding the tomb, the Great Elder and the others did not have the arrogance of a heaven-level powerhouse, which made Fang Ming even more sure that this old man guarding the tomb was an existence like a sweeping monk.

"At the beginning, two hundred years ago, I had a relationship with your master, and to be able to live out the second life, he took a path that no one else dared to take. ”

The old man guarding the tomb looked at Fang Ming, and the first words he said shocked Fang Ming.

"Your master's second life has cultivated to the Supreme Realm, and normally there is no problem with a lifespan of five hundred years. ”

Fang Ming fell into deep thought, in fact, when his understanding of the cultivation world deepened, he also had such doubts in his heart, those who were extremely strong in the heavens could live for one or two hundred years, how could his master pass away so early.

"My master and his old man are soaring, maybe at that level, the laws of the Great Dao of this world are no longer suitable for him. Fang Ming thought for a moment and replied.

The old man shook his head, "He wants to take another path, and he will inevitably go through the third life, in fact, the old man is very envious of him, and he can let go of everything, but unfortunately, the old man has a huge Fang family behind him, and he can't leave it alone like him." ”

Hearing the words of the old man guarding the tomb, the Great Elder and the others showed a look of shame on their faces, it was precisely because they couldn't take that step that the ancestor couldn't pursue a higher realm with peace of mind.

"Ancestor, I'm incompetent. ”

Fang Ming was shocked, this old man guarding the tomb turned out to be the ancestor of the Fang family.
