Chapter 529: Worship

The Yi family's house is the kind of house that has been many years old but is still very clean and tidy, well-organized, staggered, although not as luxurious as the Su family's Bai family, but it has its own calm and elegant atmosphere. At the same time, the pattern here is also very clear, and Lu Chen almost didn't have much effort to find the ancestral hall of his family at the back of the Yi family's mansion.

Ancestral halls, of course, are not available to ordinary people, and sometimes there is a large ancestral hall in a village with the same surname and clan, which is used to worship the ancestors of previous generations. Those who can set aside a special place at home to build a family ancestral hall are basically famous families and first-class families.

The ancestors of the Yi family have been in the scenery, so the ancestors are in the shade, and there is also an ancestral hall at home, but it doesn't seem to be a big scale, just in the corner of the house, and then a courtyard and a house with blue tiles and white walls are all here.

When Lu Chen gently turned into this secluded courtyard, the surroundings were silent, and the night shrouded this ancestral hall, only in the gate that was always open according to custom, a few permanent lights could be seen.

In the dim light, the shadows fluttered slightly, and above the quiet offering table, many tablets were enshrined, on which the names of the deceased were written.

Lu Chen stared at the room for a moment, and then walked over, but just when he walked to the door and was about to step over the threshold, his body suddenly paused, but stopped at the door.

Under the ever-bright lamp, his face flickered in the light and shadow, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were also sharp, and he suddenly turned his eyes to look at the corner of the ancestral hall.

There was a place where the candle did not shine, and there was a wooden chair with shadows on it, and there was a faint figure sitting there.

The night was quiet, there was no sound inside or outside the house for a while, and Lu Chen didn't show a look of weakness or fear, just looked at the figure.

After a moment, the shadow moved, and then a man stood up, and walked slowly, standing under the lamplight.

He looked like an old man, with gray hair, a thin face, and a face as flat as an ancient well, and it seemed that nothing could disturb him anymore. Lu Chen stared at him for a moment, and suddenly found that between the old man's eyebrows, there was a faint resemblance to Yi Xin.

He frowned, and after a moment of silence, he bowed and took a step back, indicating that he was not hostile, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb my seniors." After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, I'm not a thief." ”

The old man was also looking at him, and suddenly there was such a stranger in his home, and he didn't have any surprised and angry expressions from beginning to end, just nodded and said, "I know, there is nothing in this ancestral hall, and if it was a thief, he wouldn't come here." ”

Rao is Lu Chen has always been tactful, and he didn't know how to continue at this time, but fortunately, the old man quickly spoke again: "Although our Yi family is a small family, there are also night guards, and Your Excellency can sneak in here quietly without alarming anyone, it must be amazing." I just don't know what your purpose is, please tell me a thing or two?"

Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "I came to worship an old man, but I didn't want to disturb the family members of the deceased, so I came here by night." I am ashamed of what is inappropriate, and I ask my seniors to forgive me!"

The old man seemed to be a little surprised, and after being stunned for a moment, he asked, "May I ask which ancestor of our Yi family your Excellency wants to come and pay homage to?"

Lu Chen hesitated, but said calmly: "Yi Xin." ”

The old man's body shook slightly, his face changed a little, and after staring at Lu Chen for a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "You...... Could it be Lu Chen?"

Lu Chen was taken aback, nodded and said, "Exactly, who are you, how can you know you?"

The old man stared at him for a moment, then sighed and said, "Please come in and speak." As he spoke, he turned around, looked at the spirit cards on the table, and after a moment of silence, said, "Old man Yi Ming is Yi Xin's father." ”

※※※

In the silent night, darkness covered the earth, and in the dead of night, most people fell asleep, only in the ancestral hall of the Yi family's back house, there were two men sitting opposite each other, talking calmly.

"I have inquired about the things of the year, although our Yi family is not as good as before, there are still a few people who know each other well on Kunlun Mountain......

Yi Ming said these words to Lu Chen, although he didn't name him directly, Lu Chen already understood what he meant.

The Yi family is also a native of Kunwu City, and their ancestors have also produced great Yuanying Zhenren, even if their strength is declining now, but there are naturally some ways to inquire about the news.

Not to mention, Yan Luo, who took care of Yi Xin very much, and Dongfang Tao, who took Yi Xin under his door, are ready-made friends.

The ancestral hall is not a place to entertain guests, so of course there will be no tea between the two of them at this time, just sitting opposite each other, Yi Ming looked at Lu Chen, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly stood up, and then bowed solemnly to him.

Lu Chen was taken aback, hurriedly avoided it, and said, "Senior, why is this?"

Yi Ming smiled a little bitterly and said, "No matter what, it was you who helped Yi Xin avenge back then, and our Yi family remembers this in our hearts." ”

Lu Chen was silent for a while, and after a long while, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... She wasn't saved. ”

Yi Ming shook his head, turned around and walked to the offering table in the ancestral hall, his eyes swept over the spiritual positions, and finally stopped on the farthest piece of spiritual tablets, and sighed softly: "Yi Xin, your friend has come to see you." ”

Lu Chen walked over slowly and glanced at the wooden sign, only to see that only a simple single line was written on it: Daughter Yi Xin's Spirit Position.

At that moment, his lips moved, and it seemed that suddenly countless memories of the past came to his mind at once, passing by one scene after another, and then dissipating silently. He turned his head to look at Yi Ming with a pleading gaze, Yi Ming sighed, nodded, and stepped out of the way.

Lu Chen picked up the incense from the offering table, a total of three, and lit it on the ever-bright lamp, and the misty green smoke floated up, like a dream. He stared at the spiritual plaque behind the green smoke, as if he saw the girl with bright eyes and good eyes who loved to laugh and laugh again, and after a while, he held the incense in his hand, and bowed respectfully to Yi Xin's spiritual position three times, and then inserted it into the incense burner on the offering table.

The ancestral hall is silent, only the green smoke floats, recalling this life, probably after the separation of yin and yang, it will become as faint as this wisp of green smoke.

He stood for a long time, then saluted Yi Ming and said, "Thank you seniors for your success, I am grateful." I made my wish and said goodbye. ”

Yi Ming nodded and said, "Your Excellency's friendship, our Yi family keeps it in our hearts, if there is anything that can help in the future, just ask." ”

Lu Chen smiled, but shook his head, it was really not a good thing to have something to do with himself. He bowed his hand to Yi Ming, then turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall, and flew into the deep darkness of the night.

The distant place ahead, the majestic Kunlun Xiongshan, seemed to be opening its mind in the night, welcoming the arrival of this stranger.
