Chapter 41: Rules for Ancestor Worship

When Fang Muxi and Fang Yi's father had an accident, the situation in the Fang family's mansion was very chaotic.

Fang Sheng also had a premonition of his failure, so he made a lot of arrangements in advance. However, the enemy's offensive was much more fierce than he had imagined. His arrangement did not achieve the desired effect.

If it weren't for Elder Fang Jue and Chief Fang Zhan standing up and speaking in time, then Fang Muxi and Fang Yi might really be cut down and eradicated. At that time, Fang Muxi was fifteen years old, and Fang Yi was only nine years old.

After Elder Fang Jue and Chief Fang Zhan left, Fang Muxi told Fang Ye some things that had happened five or six years ago.

"So, the Fourth Elder Fang Jue and the Chief Administrator Fang Zhan are considered life-saving graces to us?" Fang Yi muttered.

"Well, so to speak, if it weren't for the two of them, even if I could take you out of the Fang family's mansion, I would have been assassinated soon. Fang Muxi nodded.

"The black hand in this mansion is really ruthless. At that time, I wasn't even ten years old, and they wanted to kill too!" Fang Yi sneered and said in a condensed voice.

Fang Muxi's expression was gloomy.

Next!

"Woo...... Woohoo......"

When the morning light fell, the Fang family's mansion sounded a thick horn.

The Fang family began to get busy.

The guards of the mansion knocked on the temporary residence of the children who were released one by one, woke them up to participate in today's ancestor worship ceremony, and brought food by the way.

Fang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, and there seemed to be thunder shining in his eyes.

"Fang Yi, even if you are oppressed by words, you must be patient. This is Fang Muxi's advice to Fang Yi.

After eating, the clansmen walked out of the door and walked towards the family ancestral hall. The ancestral hall is located in the backyard of the mansion, which is heavily guarded, and it is not allowed or forbidden to enter the mansion without permission.

Fang Muxi and Fang Yi followed the crowd and slowly moved towards the family ancestral hall. When they arrived, Fang Changqing, the head of the Fang family, the seven current elders of the Fang family, Fang Zhan, the head of internal affairs, Fang Yingjie, the supervisor, Fang Deyun, the inspector of the treasury, and other important figures were already in front of the ancestral hall.

The dense clansmen gathered outside the ancestral hall, and no one dared to make a loud noise.

Fang Yi in the crowd stared at an artifact above the front of the ancestral hall, which was a bell. The reason why Fang Yi paid attention was because this bell was not ordinary, and there were faint energy fluctuations on it.

After another stick of incense or so, the gate of the huge courtyard where the ancestral hall was located was closed with a 'boom'.

Yesterday was the sacrificial ceremony, and the family invited many outsiders to come. And today is the ancestor worship ceremony, which naturally will not be watched by outsiders. Even the female members of the Fang family who got married were not eligible to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

"Boom!"

As the bell above the ancestral hall shook, a heavy bell rang out. Fang also saw that when the bell rang, there was a circle of blue energy rippling like water ripples in the space around it.

Immediately after, in the blink of an eye, all the people in the entire Ancestral Hall North Garden could feel a wave of energy enveloping from above.

Everyone's expressions became solemn and solemn.

"This bell is very good. Fang Yi stared at him, and said secretly in his heart.

The bell before the ancestral hall, called the Earth Spirit Bell, it is a treasure, and it is also the treasure of the Fang family, and the power is terrifying.

"Today, it is our family's triennial ancestor worship ceremony. I, Fang Changqing, the current patriarch of the Fang family, will preside over this ancestor worship ceremony. After the bell fell, Patriarch Fang Changqing spoke, and his deep voice reached the ears of every member of the Fang family present.

"Now, I will read out the seventeen rules of the Fang clan, and I hope that every child of the Fang family, whether it is in the family mansion or outside the mansion, can abide by it. ”

"Article 1......" Fang Changqing began to read out the rules of the Fang clan.

said that it was read out, but in fact, as the patriarch of the Fang family, he had already kept the seventeen family rules in mind. After reciting the seventeen family rules, there was not a single mistake or omission, not even a single typo.

After reading out the family rules, Fang Changqing talked about the ancestral teachings and the matters to be paid attention to when the Fang family worships the ancestors.

The last point of attention is that guilty people, people who have violated clan rules, people who are married, minors under the age of 14, etc., are not allowed to participate in ancestor worship ceremonies.

When Fang Changqing finished saying this, Fang Long, the seventh elder of the Fang family, vacated the column, and he took a few steps forward, getting closer to the children of the Fang family below.

His expression was majestic.

"After review, two of the people who participated in our Fang's ancestor worship ceremony today did not meet the requirements for entering the ancestral hall. Fang Longteng was expressionless and said loudly.

Fang Longteng, with a big round face, gloomy eyes, and a face like an eagle falcon.

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of whispering below. Many people looked at Fang Muxi and Fang Yi.

"Fang Muxi and Fang Yi, the sons of the sinner Fang Sheng, came out of the ranks and came to the front. Fang Longteng said again.

"Here's the main event. Fang Yi sneered, and said secretly in his heart.

Fang Muxi pulled Fang Yi's arm, and then she walked in front, followed by Fang Yi. The two walked out of the crowd and arrived in the open space between the crowd on and off the stage.

"You two are sons of sinners. According to the rules of ancestor worship in the clan, you are not eligible to enter the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors. Fang Longteng looked at Fang Muxi and Fang Yi coldly and said.

"Elder, I have a little doubt here. Fang Yi looked at Fang Longteng and said.

"Presumptuous! What is this elder, I am Fang Longteng, the seventh elder of the family. Fang Longteng's face darkened, and he scolded Fang Yidao majestically.

"Oh, I didn't know you were a few elders of the Fang family just now, after all, I didn't know you well. You said it, and I just knew. Fang Yi said suddenly.

Fang Longteng's eyes froze, and his momentum climbed.

Fang Changqing, the patriarch who was standing behind, also frowned and looked at Fang Yi.

"If you have any doubts, tell me quickly. Fang Longteng shouted.

"You just said that Fang Muxi and I are not qualified to enter the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors, so what are you inviting us back for?" Fang Yi chuckled.

Fang Longteng's eyes sharpened, and Fang Yi's attitude seemed to ask, was this despising the majesty of him, the elder of the Fang family?

Fang Yingjie, the head of foreign affairs, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fang Yi. The Fang family who first got Fang Yi's dojo selection order was him. It was also he who immediately decided to order Fang Muxi and Fang Yi to come back to participate in the family sacrifice ceremony.

"Fang Yi, that's not an invitation, it's a family order. Fang Yingjie said.

"Oh, if you say an order, just order! Since you think we are not qualified to worship our ancestors, why did you order us to come back?" Fang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Yingjie and said.

"Bastard, you junior dare to question the elders?" Fang Longteng waved his arm slightly, and an invisible coercion was released from him, pressing towards Fang Yi.

"Seventh Elder, for a fifteen-year-old junior, you don't have to be too harsh. What's more, he is not vexatious. Fourth Elder Fang Jue said with a smile.

The four elders' interruption made the momentum of the seventh elder Fang Longteng disappear a lot.

Fang Longteng turned around and glanced at Fang Jue, as if he was a little displeased, but in the end he didn't refute it.
