Chapter 14: Going up the mountain for help

The woman looked at the secret door that suddenly appeared, and was slightly stunned.

Ruo Ziyong pulled her and said, "Hurry up! If you don't leave, the person who killed you will come." ”

"But ......"

"What else could it be!"

If Ao Ziyong speaks, he will pick up the pregnant woman and run.

The woman looked back frequently, her eyes as if she didn't want to leave.

Everyone quickly followed Ruo Ao Ziyong, and behind this secret door was a secret path hidden in the mountain forest, leading to the Ruo Ao Clan's ancestral hall on the top of the mountain.

In the courtyard across the room, a large number of black-clad and masked assassins rushed in looked at the dead people in the courtyard, and the leading black-clothed man frowned and cursed, "Who was the first to take the lead before us?"

The subordinates who followed him were also inexplicably strange.

They assassinated several times, and someone always made a move in front of them, which led to the startling of snakes.

"Leave a part to search, see if there is any alive, and find out the lady. ”

"Those who find it will be rewarded!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"The rest of the people will chase me!"

When everyone walked through the courtyard and searched for the dead all over the ground, there was a sudden cry of pain, and I don't know who stepped on the dead body lying on the ground, and then the dead body suddenly sat up.

"Which idiot stepped on me!"

"It hurts!"

"Damn, don't you want people to get a good night's sleep?"

One after another exclamations rang out, and everyone was shocked, "The corpse is deceitful!"

One of the assassins looked at the blood on the corpses on the ground, tore open their clothes, and checked them, and found that their bodies were intact, without any sword wounds, but the guards' uniforms were stained with blood, and they slapped them and scolded angrily, "What are the ghosts called? They are not dead, but they are sprinkled with dog blood, and we have been deceived." ”

In the darkness of the night, the assassin who took the lead frowned when he heard this, his face changed, and he shouted: "Oh no, we have been tricked!"

"Retreat!"

But it was too late.

Immediately, hundreds of archers with crossbows appeared on the walls of the entire courtyard, and a large number of sergeants appeared out of nowhere at each exit, armed with sharp swords.

Cheng Jia slowly walked out of the darkness, and took off his mask first, "Lu Yi, it's really you!"

"Cheng Youtu, you'd better not go against the eldest prince, otherwise we won't let you Cheng Clan go. Lu Yi was called to reveal his identity, but he still looked at him calmly.

"Aren't you guilty of assassinating the princess and openly rushing to kill the Yin Mansion in Jingling County? After returning to Beijing, if Lord Ling Yin knew about this incident, what do you think he would do?" Cheng Jia asked in a deep voice.

"Kill him!"

Lu Yi knew that he would either kill him or commit suicide now, and there were two ways to choose, of course, to kill one way out.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

During the fight between the two sides, I don't know if the people on that side were thrown on the Zhu Gate of Ruo Ao Ziyong.

There was a "bump", and the door was smashed open.

An open secret door appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it was the secret door that the careless Ruo Ao Ziyong forgot to send someone to block before leaving.

Lu was overjoyed when he saw this.

"Let's go, all this way, they must have all run here!"

Seeing this, Cheng Jia frowned and said, "Chase, don't let them hurt the princess!"

Lu was even more convinced when he heard this, and when he rushed through the secret door, he saw a line of confusion on the ground of the mountain behind, with overlapping footprints of different depths and shallows, so he chased after him frantically.

At least kill the phoenix.

Their mission is complete.

And Ruo Ao Ziyong, who left first, led everyone through the winding and winding dense forest path, and had climbed up the mountain, and the vision above the mountain suddenly broadened.

A huge archway first comes into view, as if the stars and the moon stand on the top of the mountain, the archway has the martial king jade pen personally given "loyal to the great Chu", the system of straight gold plaque hangs on the top.

Behind the archway is a solemn and simple ancestral hall in the main hall,

There is also a three-zhang high blue and white stone tablet in front of the ancestral hall.

It is densely recorded that Ruo Ao was born in Yun from the ancestor Bobby, to the first generation of Yin Ruo Ao Ziwen was born from the tiger, with a broad temperament, funded the martial king to establish immortal merits, and then to the merits and demerits of each generation of Ling Yin and the clansmen, all engraved on the stele.

These plaques and monuments represent the Ruo Ao clan and the ancestral hall.

Each of them reveals the glory of the Ruo Ao clan for 300 years.

It is by no means comparable to the ordinary clan family gate lord Haosheng, only a high-ranking first clan like Ruo Ao can have the ancestral hall of his own clan like the Xiong family.

This is not only the place where the ancestors of the Ruo Ao clan were born, but also the place where the heads of the family and the patriarchs of the past dynasties and the clansmen are buried, which is regarded as the ancestral hall, and the residence of the Ruo Ao clan in Yingdu also has an ancestral hall, which is called the branch ancestral hall.

Every New Year's Day, the first and fifteenth days of the new year, if the adult men of the Ao clan will have a special person to worship, women with foreign surnames or underage boys are not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise it will be regarded as breaking the rules.

Even Mi Huang is a princess.

also only followed Ruo Ao Ziyan when he was in the province, and only stood outside the branch shrine in the Yingdu Mansion of the Ruo Ao clan to worship from a distance, and was not allowed to enter.

At this time, it is the time of night.

The mountain is deserted, and the ancestral hall is a cold place.

For many years, I have not seen the sun, the door is heavily guarded, the door is closed, the white lantern hangs in front of the door, gently rippling with the wind, in the middle of the night, if Ao Ziyong has not approached it, he feels a ghostly atmosphere.

A smell of incense ash emanated from the bronze giant ding, and the top of the burning incense lit up with a little glittering fire, just like countless Ruoao ancestor heroic spirits looking down from the Nine Heavens.

A wooden plaque is erected on the left and right sides of the ancestral hall.

Book on the left and right: Don't disturb the peace of the ancestors! Violators will not be tolerated!

Ruo Ziyong trembled and folded his hands together, chanting a word, "The ancestors have spirits! Ziyong did not trespass for no reason." ”

Then he hurriedly walked through the torii and stepped forward to bang on the door.

But the guards here are all the loyal servants of the Ruo Ao clan and the elders of the clan, hearing the movement, they walked out of the small door next to them, looked at him and said, "Ziyong, today is not a day of sacrifice or worship, and it is late at night, it is the time for the ancestors to rest, what are you doing here! And you still don't understand this rule, with a woman by your side!"

"Get out of here!"

"Otherwise, I'll have someone beat you and leave!"

If Ao Ziyong heard this, he pushed the pregnant woman to everyone, and said hurriedly, "Clan Elder, this is the princess of the dynasty, not a foreign daughter, but the concubine of Lord Ling Yin, the wife of Ziyan, is the wife of my Ruo Ao clan, take a look!"

"If I am a woman of the Ao clan, no one is allowed to enter!" the clan elder said, "This is a rule handed down from the ancestors. ”

"Roll on...... Close!"

Seeing that the door was about to close in front of him, Ruo Ziyong gritted his teeth and squeezed his leg forward, squeezing into the crack in the door, "Oops" and said, "Ahh......h

Seeing this, the clan elder stopped, but his face fell, "What do you want?" Ziyong, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
