Chapter 36: The Ritual of Sacrifice
The man in black stood there, even if he didn't make any movements, which made Fang Muxi and Tong Anan feel very depressed.
"What message?" asked Fang Muxi.
"The mansion hopes that Miss Fang Muxi and Young Master Fang Yi can rush back to the family to participate in the sacrifice ceremony!"
Fang Muxi frowned.
She and Fang Yi were basically expelled from the family mansion, and it had been several years since they came to Autumn Water City, and no one from the family mansion had ever come to ask about their situation. And now, suddenly let them go back to the sacrifice ceremony?
"Fang Muxi's father's spiritual position has not been put into the family ancestral hall. If Miss Fang Muxi and Young Master Fang Yi didn't even participate in the sacrificial ceremony, then they really weren't the Fang family. The man in black continued.
What he said was what Fang Yingjie, the current head of the Fang family, meant. Obviously, if Fang Muxi and Fang didn't go back, that Fang Sheng's spiritual position would never be placed in the family ancestral hall.
Hearing this, Fang Muxi's face became more and more pale, and at this moment, his head seemed to explode.
When she recovered, she found that the man in black had disappeared into the cubicle.
"The owner, the man is gone. Tong Anan was on the side, looking at Fang Muxi with distressed eyes, and said.
Fang Muxi exhaled slowly, as if an invisible hand was pinching her heart, making her whole body tense and unable to breathe.
The Fang family sacrifice ceremony is held every three years. At that time, the Fang family members in various cities in the county area, and even the Fang family members in other county towns, will rush back to the family mansion in time to participate in this grand sacrifice ceremony.
Of course, Fang Muxi was very clear about this grand gathering of the family. She knew that there was still nearly a month before the next ceremony.
"What kind of sacrificial ceremony?" Fang Yi walked into the compartment from the outside, he had just finished practicing the Flowing Water Sword Technique, and he came down from downstairs to breathe, and he just heard the last words that the man in black said to Fang Muxi.
"The Fang family's ancestor worship ceremony. Fang Muxi raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yi: "Over there in the family, I hope we can go back to participate." ”
"Hmm, haven't we all been kicked out of the family?" Fang Yi was slightly stunned.
Although he is not Fang Yi of this world, he has also learned a lot of information from the diary left by Fang Yi in this world. Coupled with what he had heard during this time, he had a basic grasp of his and Fang Muxi's identity, situation, and so on.
"Maybe it's because they got the news and know that you have a very strong talent in martial arts and medicine, so they have a new idea. Fang Muxi guessed.
"Then let's go back to the sacrifice ceremony. Fang Yi frowned.
"The problem is, their ideas are likely to be bad for us. I'm worried that they're thinking about the dojo selection order. Fang Muxi shook his head.
It has to be said that her analysis is very accurate.
Fang Yi's eyes froze: "Does the Fang family want to snatch the dojo selection order from me? The Fang family is in Yonghua County, and they are also one of the six great families, so they shouldn't be so despicable on the surface, right? Besides, the dojo selection order was given to me by Wu Gang Dao Master himself, if they snatch it, they are not afraid of arousing Wu Gang's disgust?"
"On the bright side, the Fang family will naturally pay attention to the influence, otherwise they will directly send a Gathering Star Realm martial artist to Qiushui City to snatch it. Fang Muxi shook his head, paused and said, "But if we go back to the family mansion, they may use their power to force you to take the initiative to hand over the dojo selection order." ”
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this Fang Muxi. I'm very resilient to pressure. They wanted me to hand over the selection order, but it wasn't that easy. Fang Yi laughed: "What that person just now seemed to mean is that we go back to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and my father's spiritual seat can be put into the family ancestral hall." ”
Fang Yi and the Fang family in this world, except for Fang Muxi, should have nothing to do with it. However, the father of this body is Fang Sheng after all, and he is the Fang family.
When he was in the Mixed Yuan Realm, Fang Yi was a person who paid great attention to cause and effect, his divine soul came to this world and borrowed this body to resurrect, and he already had an inseparable causal relationship with the Fang family.
"Fang Yi, when we left the Fang family's mansion, you were very young. There are a lot of things that you don't know that deeply. The methods of those people in the Fang family are unimaginable. If we go back to the ritual, anything can happen. Thinking of those cows, ghosts, gods and snakes in the Fang family's mansion, Fang Muxi couldn't help but shudder, even his father Fang Sheng was finally defeated in the hands of that group of people.
Fang Sheng not only ended up dead, but also had to bear the infamy of a sinner after his death.
"Fang Muxi, we can't avoid this level. Even if you avoid the past this time, you are destined to face it in the future. Unless, we choose to live a life of mediocrity. Fang Yi said softly.
Fang Muxi's expression was stunned, she didn't expect Fang Yi to be able to say such a thing. Fang Yi seemed to have seen this matter more thoroughly than her.
She had to admit that Fang Yi was right. As long as Fang Yi rises, he will definitely have to face the Fang family.
"Before the ceremony, we rushed back. Fang Muxi said slowly.
Time flickered, and more than 20 days passed.
During this time, Fang Yi had already transformed the Flowing Water Sword Technique and completely mastered it. Originally, it was just a high-grade flowing water sword technique, but in Fang Yi's hands, it had the power of a ground-level martial art.
However, his martial arts realm still stayed in the Nine Realms of Gathering Gods. The breakthrough of the great realm is even more difficult than imagined. Although Fang Yi had a unique experience, he was helplessly limited by this body, and it was impossible for him to break through to any realm without hindrance.
Of course, at this time, Fang Yi's strength has improved by some magnitude compared to when he fought with Gao Zhixiang that day.
On this day, Yu Bo drove a carriage from the Fang's Medicine Workshop in Qiushui City to Yonghua County.
Yonghua County, Dongcheng District.
As the Fang family's sacrificial ceremony approached, the entire Dongcheng District became more and more lively. The Fang family members scattered all over the country rushed back one after another. Some of the clansmen came back from other county towns, and it took more than half a month just to get on the road, but they still came back.
In addition to the Fang family, there are also many fresh faces wandering around Dongcheng District, some of them are businessmen looking for business opportunities here, some are spies sent by various forces pretending to be ordinary martial artists to listen carefully to the information about the Fang family, and many of them are purely for the sake of watching the excitement.
The Fang family's mansion had been preparing for a month's worth of sacrifices, and in the early morning of a sunny day, it finally officially began.
The majestic gates of the mansion were wide open, and elite guards stood on either side of the main entrance, vigilantly observing the crowd. The Fang family's secret agent team is even more distributed among the crowd, once a suspicious situation is found, they will solve the hidden danger as soon as possible.
