Chapter 24: Totem

Bai Che pointed to the three brothers and said incredulously: "Just us, aunt and her old man have an enmity with us, right?"

We went to the Phoenix Sect for a walk, and they already had an expression of wanting to eat us. Now this reorganization of the Ming Greedy Wolf Division, aren't we just catching up as a target?!

Just the three of us nobodies, each of us can drown us with a mouthful of spit!"

Bai Qing shook his head helplessly and said, "No way, since my aunt has spoken, let's give up our lives to accompany the gentleman."

Besides, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Bai family, it is a matter of time before you reorganize the Ming Greedy Wolf Division. It's just that the greedy wolf Yuque didn't find it, which is somewhat unjustifiable. ”

As soon as he mentioned the Ming greedy wolf Yuque, Bai Che was immediately happy.

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This time I came to the Bai family, there was no progress in that matter, but I unintentionally intervened in the willows and got a good thing." Bai Qing, guess what?"

Bai Qing's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Could it be ......?"

Bai Xiu suddenly came back to his senses, took out the brocade box, handed it to Bai Qing, and said, "Big brother, let's put this there first." The details will be explained to you and your aunt when the sacrifice ceremony is over. ”

Not wanting Bai Qing to wave his hand, Zhengse said: "This jade que was found by you, so naturally it will be kept by you, maybe it will be used in the future......"

"What?" Bai Xiu didn't hear his words clearly for a while, and couldn't help but ask.

Bai Qing's eyes flashed, he helped his glasses, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I mean that the greedy wolf Yuque has a good aura, and you may be able to help you resist the invasion of ghost qi with you."

Besides, we have been walking all the way to internal cultivation, and it doesn't matter if we make a spiritual covenant with Yuque or not, isn't it the same who holds it. ”

Bai Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and put the brocade box back away.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think about what Bai Qing had just said.

His character, Bai Xiu is very clear.

Just now, he didn't finish his words, and he must have heard some news about himself, but because Bai Yan couldn't tell himself, he was secretive and flickering.

Don't...... What's more?

Seeing Bai Xiu bowing his head and pondering, Bai Che thought for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Bai Qing aside, and whispered: "Bai Xiu went to listen to the matter of the Soul Land, and really can't discuss it with my aunt anymore?"

Bai Qing naturally understood what he meant, shook his head again and again, and said, "Don't ask me, I really don't know what my aunt's plans are." But she seems to have negotiated with Bai Xiu, you have this kung fu to pester me, it is better to ask him himself. ”

"What?!" Bai Che's expression changed, and his face was gloomy, "You mean Bai Xiu has always known about his aunt's plan?"

Without waiting for Bai Qing to nod, he was already walking towards Bai Xiu angrily.

Bai Qingxin said badly, and hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him: "What's the matter, let's wait for the end of the sacrificial ceremony." You're making a fuss here, and you're making jokes for others. ”

Bai Che sneered: "Do they like to watch it! You just look at them like this? I'm not as utilitarian as you, what's the big deal, is it safe to have my own family?"

Bai Qing said helplessly: "Yes, it's not mine...... Let me tell you, Bai Che, you really have to change your fiery temper, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later. ”

The two were at a stalemate, but Bai Xiu came over by himself when he heard the movement, and wondered, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Che laughed angrily, and said coldly: "You came just in time! Tell me honestly, how many things do you still hide from me? One or two are like this, do you treat me as a family?"

Bai Xiu had long expected him to react like this, so he apologized: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you......"

Bai Che shook off Bai Qing's hand and interrupted him with an indifferent expression: "Don't call me second brother, I can't afford it." ”

Bai Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't know what to say, so he simply chose to be silent.

At this moment, the bell rang again, and someone shouted, "The altar has been raised!

Bai Qing lifted his glasses, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is anything to talk about, let's get down to business first." ”

Bai Che snorted coldly, but the anger in his heart still didn't continue to attack, and he agreed with his words.

The three of them left the ancestral hall, but they saw that the sky was already bright, and the disciples of the Bai family, who had been noisily surrounding Suling Lake, also stood according to the positions of each sect that had been demarcated before.

Among them, there were many people whispering to the vacant positions in the Phoenix Sect's team, presumably they had already heard of the reorganization of the Ming Greedy Wolf Division.

And the people of the Phoenix Sect, there are those who are curious, those who disdain, and those who are resentful, and so on.

The three brothers, led by Bai Qing, walked to their positions without squinting.

Perhaps it was taken by their calm momentum, and for a while, the voice of the discussion in the crowd was a little quieter.

At that moment, a rapid drum beat sounded.

The sound of the drum seemed to be far away and near, and it was impossible to hear where the source was, only like thunder echoing in the sky above the Hongmeng Valley.

The disciples of the Bai family were immediately silent when they heard this, and even their expressions couldn't help but become solemn.

The drum sounded seven-seven-forty-nine and stopped below.

For a moment, the whole town fell silent.

Even the songbirds in the mountains seem to feel the atmosphere and carefully hide their figures.

"Whenβ€”"

I don't know how long it took, but a long bell suddenly echoed over the town.

Immediately after, an old man's voice began to chant leisurely.

The chanting sound seemed to have traveled from ancient history, making everyone present can't help but immerse themselves in the bloody deeds of the ancestors of the Bai family.

It wasn't until the chanting was over that the whole town fell into a solemn silence again.

At this moment, everyone felt a slight tremor under their feet, and when they heard it, there was a faint sound of dragon groaning at the bottom of Suling Lake.

The next moment, they saw six colored lights suddenly light up on the shore of the lake, and then they heard another roar in the lake.

At the same time, Bai Zhenguo, who was presiding over the ceremony, raised the green dragon jade que in his hand and chanted: "God bless Hongmeng!

In an instant, a behemoth jumped into front of everyone's eyes - it was a large altar hidden at the bottom of the lake!

The altar is shaped like a gossip, and in the center is a building exactly like the Bai family ancestral hall.

In front of the ancestral hall, there is a statue of the six spirits.

The craftsmanship is so subtle that it seems that the next moment they will awaken from their slumber.

Even though the sacrificial ceremony was held every year, the disciples of the Six Sects were still amazed by the majesty of the altar.

Some people have even burst into tears, eager to kneel on the ground and bow and worship.

Bai Xiu and the three of them were also quite shocked.

This was completely different from how they felt when they were children, at least at that time they didn't feel the coercion from the six spirits.

However, Bai Che was not polite, and muttered in a low voice: "Is it necessary to make it so fancy, I don't feel troublesome once a year...... Look at the reactions of each one, what age are they, and they are still engaged in totem worship!"

Bai Qing immediately wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and whispered: "You are my brother, okay? I said that you can't just watch quietly for a while? If you let others hear it, you don't know what kind of contradiction will arise......

Bai Xiu also persuaded: "There are many people, so it's better for us to be cautious in our words and deeds." ”

"Well, count me. Bai Che snorted coldly and turned his head a little impatiently.

The altar was completely set up.

At this moment, a mist gradually evaporated on the water surface, lining the lake like a fairyland.

Bai Zhenguo and the others had slowly walked up to the altar.

While chanting an ancient tune, they put the Six Spirit Jade Que in their hands into the corresponding groove in the Six Spirit Statue.

Everyone only heard a crisp click sound coming from the center of the altar, followed by a roar, and the gate of the ancestral hall standing in the center of the altar finally slowly opened.

The chanting of several sect elders did not stop.

And with Bai Dong as the leader, the heads of the six sects also went to the altar in turn.

Bai Yan has a special identity, and he also walks side by side with Bai Dong.

The Bai family naturally knew what this meant, but because of the solemn atmosphere of the sacrificial ceremony, no one spoke about it.

The other priests also went up to the altar, and then the chief representatives of the priests.

After everyone stood still, several other sect elders took the lead in bowing down and chanting in unison again.

Bai Che listened lazily, couldn't help but hide his hands and yawn, and was immediately slapped by Bai Qing in the eye, and then reluctantly cheered up.

At this moment, the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth on the altar was completed.

Bai Zhenguo signaled with his eyes that Bai Dong could proceed to the next link.

Several sect elders walked to the corresponding statue of the six spirits, saluted it, and then sat down cross-legged on the stone platform in front of the statue.

Bai Dong led everyone around the altar three times, and finally stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall in the center of the altar.

He knelt on the ground and knocked three times against the door before he stood up.

Others followed suit.

When everything was done, Bai Dong waved his hand at several sect elders and said in a deep voice, "The disciple has gone." ”

Seeing that he was about to enter the ancestral hall, Bai Yan suddenly spoke: "Wait a minute." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at her, but everyone's expressions were different.

Bai Yan glanced around at everyone calmly, and said with a smile: "After more than 20 years of absence from the Bai family, I think the three brothers of Bai Qing, as the descendants of the Ming Greedy Wolf Division, should also go with us to the 'White Mound' to meet the ancestors, right?"

As soon as her voice fell, the disciples of the various sects finally couldn't help but talk in a low voice.

Bai Qing seemed to have expected her to do this, lifted her glasses and calmly looked in the direction of the altar, and said nothing.

Bai Che raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Isn't my aunt too anxious this time?" This will inevitably make the rest of the Phoenix Sect dissatisfied!"

Sure enough, Bai Su was a little breathless, stared at her and asked unceremoniously, "What do you mean?"

Bai Yan didn't pay attention to him, but set his eyes on several sect elders and Bai Dong.

Bai Dong's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Miss Yan, I'm afraid this thing is not in accordance with the rules." The white mound is related to the safety of the Bai family, and only the disciples who are holding the six-spirit jade que, the seven-phase jade que, and the twelve-yuan jade que can enter, I am really sorry. ”

Bai Yan's eyes rolled, taking in everyone's reactions.

She smiled deeper and said, "The rules are all set by people, you see that I don't have any jade on me, don't I stand here the same?"

Bai Dong frowned almost imperceptibly, he knew why Bai Yan was standing here, this was known to everyone, but Bai Yan now had the audacity to say it, somewhat "powerful" and bullying.

Moreover, she deceived them in the Qinglong Sect - who let her son not be angry and made this kind of thing, they had to ask for help and had to bow their heads.

He glanced at his father with some embarrassment.

The latter frowned, so that no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.

The atmosphere was a bit stalemate.

Seeing this, the disciples discussed a little louder.
