Verse 316: Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors

"Those who are capable work harder, your talent is so high, and doing some chores will not delay your cultivation. Nangong Yulan interjected.

"That's not what I said, cultivating this thing, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, I finally stepped into Yuanying, how could I give up cultivation because of mundane things?" Nangong Yulei said dissatisfied.

"Aren't there still our younger brothers and sisters?" Nangong Yulei said with a smile.

While speaking, several people had already walked into the lobby, and it seemed that everyone was sitting in a random group of people in a bunch or a few people, but Nangong Yuhuan's divine sense inadvertently swept it, and only then did he discover the mystery.

The disciples of this jade generation are all standing according to the level of cultivation, there is only one person in the Yuan Infant Period, and there are only five people in the Jindan Period, including Nangong Yulan, but there are more people in the foundation building period and below, there are more than 20 people in the foundation building period, and there are as many as 60 or 70 monks in the Five Qi and Sanhua periods.

"Are these people from the jade generation?" Nangong Yuhuan leaned over and whispered in Nangong Yulan's ear.

"Of course, other generations have their own corresponding personnel to receive them. Don't look at the crowds, in fact, there are still many people who practice in the sect and have no chance to come back!" Nangong Yulan explained.

Nangong Yuhuan heard this, and was speechless: "Tsk, tsk, there are really a lot of people cultivating the truth here in your ancestral continent?"

Nangong Yulan glanced at Yuhuan and said: "Actually, there are not many people like you who can reach the foundation building period before the age of 100, and I am afraid that there are many sects rushing to ask for this kind of qualification." ”

"But that's the case, a person like my sister, if she comes to my sect, she should be very popular. Nangong Yulei played with the teacup in his hand and said.

"Since the eldest brother said so, when the sect comes to select people next year, why don't you introduce Sister Yuhuan to the past. Nangong Yulan said.

That's what I mean. Nangong Yulei said while looking at Nangong Yuhuan: "I don't know what Sister Yuhuan thinks?"

"Brother Yulei said this, of course that's good. The girl is grateful. Saying that, Nangong Yuhuan saluted Nangong Yulei again.

"My sister is polite. It's not early, let's hurry up to the ancestral hall for the ceremony of recognizing our ancestors and returning to our ancestors. Nangong Yulei said and walked out.

Nangong Yulan took the hand of the jade ring and followed Nangong Yulei outward, the ancestral hall is located on the east side of the front hall, sitting north and facing south, in front of the ancestral hall is a square of about 100 square meters. The foundations of the houses and the squares, stairs, and railings are all made of large bluestone. It looks solemn.

The main entrance of the ancestral hall is a high gate building about 20 meters wide, there are six stone pillars in the front and back of the gatehouse, five moon beams and four square beams, the structure is rigorous, and the layout is symmetrical. The square beam surface is carved with exquisite patterns, and the front one in the middle is carved with "Nine Lions Rolling Ball Everywhere Brocade", and the latter one is engraved with "Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls and Stars". The wooden beams on both sides are carved with colorful splendor.

Behind the gatehouse is a patio, which is also paved with large bluestone. Nangong Yuhuan swept his eyes, and the twenty stone pillars were connected with the twenty moon beams, arranged around the patio, and raised the east and west corridors and the north and south eaves of the front and middle entrances. The patio is in the middle and is the main hall of the ancestral hall. It is framed by 14 double ginkgo tree columns, and 19 large and small winter melon beams. Each roof beam is equipped with an elliptical beam bracket at both ends, and the beam bracket is carved with colorful clouds and streamers, and the middle is carved into a dragon, a phoenix, a lion, a tiger and other exotic beasts.

Layers of clouds are hung between the beams, and the wedges are inlaid with pieces of flower carvings, and even the beam hooks are lined with hooks engraved with the images of crickets, peacocks, daffodils, evergreens and other exotic flowers. The two sides of the main hall are the floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that are as high as the zhang yu, each window is cut with a hollow lattice, and the lower section is a flat flower carving, the content is mainly lotus, and the waterfowl are used between them.

The top of the main hall is also a row of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, and the flower carving picture is centered on the spirit deer, lined with mountain light and water color, bamboo, wood and flowers. The entire ancestral hall is full of exotic flowers and plants, and there are more than 100 big trees hugged by several people. The doorposts in the ancestral hall are full of couplet plaques.

There are ten niches in the main hall, a cabinet is placed in the middle of the niche, the main card of the god is hidden inside, and the ten shrines are the official position, name and name of Gaozu Kao, Gaozu and Kao, Yan. A low long table is set up in front of each niche for placing offerings. The incense and candles inside are brilliant, and the brocade tent is embroidered, although there are gods and lords, but they can't really be seen.

The people of the Nangong family are divided into Zhaomu and stand in shifts: Nangong Yulei main sacrifice, Nangong Yulan accompanying the sacrifice, others and others offering the lord's dedication, offering silk, exhibiting the carpet of the exhibition and worshipping the carpet, guarding the burning pond of the burning pond, each performing its own duties, Nangong Yuhuan holding incense and standing in front of the worship carpet, Tsing Yi playing music, three offerings, burning silk and drinking wine.

Nangong Yuhuan knelt on the carpet and knelt with incense, kneeling three times and nine bows in front of the god card, the ceremony must be happy, the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors was completed, Nangong Yuhuan inserted the incense in the incense burner, and then retreated.

After recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, Nangong Yulan commanded everyone to collect the things, put flowers and spiritual fruits in the guest hall, and invited Nangong Yuhuan and the same clan of the jade generation above the foundation building period to go, Nangong Yulei said that there was something wrong, so he no longer accompanyed, and several of the brothers of the Jindan period said goodbye and left, leaving only Nangong Yulan and another brother of the Jindan period to accompany them.

A group of people chatted in the living room again, most of them were people in Zuzhou who asked about Nangong Yuhuan Shenzhou, customs, natural scenery, etc., Nangong Yuhuan knew everything and answered everything, and told everyone one by one.

Nangong Yuhuan's eloquence is already good, and he speaks in a rhythmic manner, and he deliberately beautifies it a little, picking up all the good things about his hometown, which attracted everyone to yearn for a while, and he can't wait to go to Shenzhou immediately.

Everyone chatted very happily, and before they knew it, it was evening, Nangong Yuhuan saw that the time was not early, and hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, leaving Nangong Mansion and going back to Waiguo City.

Nangong Yulan couldn't help but blame: "Since my sister has recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, she will live in the mansion, I will immediately call the maids to clean up the house for you, the mansion is quite big and it is not that you can't live in your sister, why spend spirit stones to live outside? Not to mention that our Nangong Mansion has abundant spiritual energy, which is much stronger than the ordinary mansions outside." ”

Nangong Yuhuan hurriedly said: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but the waist card I did is not the surname of Nangong, if I live in Nangong Mansion for a long time, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, and for the time being, I don't want to expose my identity as a disciple of the Nangong family." ”

"I see, it's okay, our Nangong family is not as good as it used to be, and you don't want to recognize us as a relative. Nangong Yulan snorted coldly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Nangong Yuhuan hurriedly said: "Where did my sister go, since I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, how could I not let our Nangong family, but I think, isn't it better for our Nangong family to have someone in the dark?
