Ji Yin looked at Li Yin in surprise, and even ignored his father beside him, Li Yin is like a big gift bag for the current Ji Yin, as long as he opens it, he can get a mysterious reward. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Stinky boy, I haven't seen your father and me for so long, and I just met to find Mr. Li. Father Ji pretended to be angry and said, but the slightly tilted corners of his mouth betrayed him. In the end, he didn't forget to explain, "After this year, you will be an adult, and Mr. Li has stayed in the capital for 10 years for you, so he naturally wants to invite him to come to our house for a New Year." ”

In the ancient mansion of the Ji family, if you want to say that Ji Yan is the most fearless, it is his father, Ji Xuan.

Although Ji Xuan is the current patriarch of the Ji family, it can be said that he loves Ji Yan to the bones, and his father's strictness is not as important to him as the pleasure of getting along with his son, as for the issue of education, it is Liu Ying's business, which is why Ji Yan is not afraid of him.

"You little bastard, I heard that you are interested in cultivation!" Ji Xuan picked a position and said casually.

"Sure enough, it's my father, I don't go out of the door, and I know everything in the world. Ji Yan smiled and slapped a silent sycophant.

Ji Xuan and the others have obviously seen through Ji Yan's heart, and they want to let themselves help persuade Li Yin.

"You kid don't come here, don't say whether our Ji family can cultivate, even if you can cultivate, no one will teach you if you are not sincere. "After all, it is a father and son, and when I heard that Ji Yan wanted to apprentice on the way here, I knew that he must have bad motives.

Ji Yan listened absentmindedly, every time he was like this, he could always find some reason to educate himself as he spoke.

"Ji Xuan, come over here. Ji Xuan, who was about to say a few more words, hurriedly walked to the inner room.

"Whew... , I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, my dad is good everywhere, but the older I get, the more I like ink. Ji Yan saw that his father was called into the inner room by his grandfather, and the whole person was relieved.

All of this was seen by Li Yin, but from the moment he entered the door to the present, he had not spoken, just quietly looked at the four big characters in the hall, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the Ji family is the same as ordinary people, and everyone gathers together for a meal, and there is not so much attention, the only difference may be that before eating, you must go to worship the ancestors.

And Ji Yan didn't continue to talk to Li Yin about apprenticeship, Ji Yin also has his own principles, and he won't make it difficult for others, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet.

"When... When..."This is the sound of the Ji family's ancient bell, built in the center of the ancient mansion, and it will ring the same number of times every hour, and the sound is enough to spread to all corners of the ancient mansion.

Ji Yan stretched and stood up. At the same time, Ji Tai, Ji Xuan's father, and Ji Yan's grandfather, who had just entered the house, also walked out.

Ji Xuan was holding a robe in his hand, and three long incense sticks were placed on the robe, which was obviously prepared for worshipping ancestors.

Ancestor worship can be said to be one of the most important days of the Ji family, every Chinese New Year's Eve noon, all the direct members of the Ji family must go to worship the ancestors and bless peace.

This kind of behavior can be said to be very ancient and very feudal, but as a member of the Ji family, he never dares to slack off, because this is also one of the clan rules.

Ji Yun patted Ji Yun on the shoulder, meaning that he would come when he went, and as for Liu Ying, who was busy in the kitchen, he also came over at this time.

But instead of going along, she took out a delicate wooden box from her pocket and handed it to Ji Yan.

When he opened it, Ji Yan found that it was a simple ring, which even a layman could see that it was an object full of the atmosphere of time.

"Put it on! This is the ancestral object of our Liu family, passed to me from your grandfather's hand, after worshipping your ancestors, you are also considered an adult, this will be used as a coming-of-age gift from your mother. “

Ji Yan glanced at his mother silently, and found that at this moment, there was a trace of crow's feet in the corners of his mother's eyes, although it was very shallow, but after all, he grew up, and he also realized that their time was gradually passing.

Nodding heavily, Ji Yan put the empty box in his coat pocket and followed Ji Xuan out of the main hall.

No one noticed that when Ji Yin wore this ring, a slight fluctuation merged into Ji Yan's body, except for Li Yin.

"It's... , Spatial fluctuations?" Li Yin's eyes were full of shock, and he actually sensed a hint of familiarity from them......

......

The weather has cleared, this snow is in a hurry, and it is also in a hurry, and many people have missed it before they even have time to feel it.

Ji Yan's right hand gently stroked the engraving on the ring on his left hand, not counting this year, he has had 17 years of ancestor worship experience, from the first freshness to curiosity, it can be said that there are different feelings every year.

The direction of ancestor worship is in the northeast corner of the ancient house, Ji Yan quietly followed behind, I don't know when, a heavy feeling hit my heart, in a trance, Ji Yan seemed to see the battle in the sky, saw all kinds of divine beasts, figures and weapons flying in the sky.

Ji Yan shook his head vigorously, the picture disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a hexagonal altar, I don't know what kind of stone was paved, and an incense burner about two meters long and one meter high was placed in the middle.

Ji Yan hurriedly took out his watch, and unconsciously walked for more than 20 minutes, and obviously only had a momentary feeling, so did he hallucinate just now or did it really happen, and who were those people?

There was an ancient futon in front of the incense burner, and Ji Tai was kneeling on it at this time, clasping his hands together, and said solemnly, "Ji Tai of the Ji family, bring his son Ji Xuan, and his grandson Ji Xuan, bow to the ancestors." ”

Ji Yan saw Ji Tai bending over, and hurriedly bowed.

"The ancestors are above, the Ji family abides by the clan rules, in line with the belief that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and the year 3018 is about to be ushered in, please bless my clan, be healthy and safe. As he spoke, he bowed three times again.

The Ji family's ancestor worship is always the oldest to perform the first salute, and the rest can follow the salute, after all, the next generation's kneeling heart is the most urban.

I don't know which patriarch set up the family rules, but it is very in line with Ji Yan's mind. After all, kneeling is still a little awkward, even if it is kneeling to worship the ancestors.

Seeing that there was nothing in front of him except for an incense burner, Ji Yan also bowed three times, this feeling of worshipping ancestors was more like worshipping the sky, or something that Ji Yan couldn't see, but it existed in the dark.

As usual, light three incense sticks, and the ancestor worship is over, and it can be said that simple cannot be simple. Abide by the family rules and pray for good luck in the coming year, which will always be the main theme of the Ji family's ancestors.

But this year will inevitably be different from previous years, until now, Ji Yan finally has a nervous feeling, every year he listens to his grandfather, he just needs to bow along, but this year is his coming-of-age ceremony.

If the Ji family was in ancient times, at least it would be at the level of a general, and the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest son in the mansion would even have royal relatives to cheer. But now after all, it is modern times, and as a stage of transition from teenager to youth that is about to enter university, it is false to say that you are not nervous.

Although there were only three grandparents and grandchildren around, Ji Yan still felt that there were a lot of people around him looking at him.

After all, he is the son of the Ji family, and Ji Yan still came to Ji Tai's side in a proper manner, waiting for his coming-of-age ceremony.

If the ritual of worshipping ancestors is simple, then the coming-of-age ceremony of the Ji family can be said to be complicated, even complicated.

First of all, in front of your grandfather, you must recite the clan rules, which means that you have grown up and can rest assured that you can go out and wander.

Then, in front of his father, he bowed his head and thanked his parents for giving him life, and pledged his life to never disappoint his parents' nurturing grace.

In the end, Ji Yan made an oath to the ancestors of the Ji family with his left hand upwards and his fingers upright, "There are no rats in the Ji family, and good and evil cause and effect will eventually have results." ”

After the last fruit was finished, Ji Yan seemed to see the scene again, but the difference was that there was one more person, his face was blurred, holding a grinding disc in his right hand, and he threw it up violently, shooting out the silk threads of the Dao, the people flying in the sky were gone, the strange beasts also disappeared, and the picture came to an abrupt end.
