Chapter 650: Life is Like a Reverse Journey (2)
Under the leadership of the patriarch of Juzi, the closer he got to the ancestral hall, the more Yun Yan seemed to have a premonition, and emotions such as apprehension, nervousness, and anticipation involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Yan'er~" Seeing the subtle changes in her grandson's expression, Grandma Wu, who knew the inside story, quietly held Yun Yan's hand and comforted her.
"Grandma, why did you go to the ancestral hall? I ......" Yun Yan glanced at the ancestral hall that had entered the field of vision, looked sideways at the grandmother beside him, and just wanted to say something, but he keenly felt the sight coming from the ancestral hall, turned his head to look, and felt inexplicably in his heart, only to see a woman standing at the door of the ancestral hall, her purple hair was so eye-catching, and the green cheongsam with daffodils was just as he saw when he was in Fangyuan.
"Grandma, she's ......" Under the gaze of the woman, Yun Yan only felt a wordless sourness welling up in his heart, although he was forced to hold back, but his voice still changed a little.
"Yan'er, she's your mother!" Yun Yan's grandmother's eyes were red at the moment, and no one knew how painful it was to hide the truth from Yun Yan for so many years.
"Mother?! It turns out that she is still alive! Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar title, Yun Yan only felt mixed in his heart, both excitement and joy that his mother was still alive, and resentment and anger against his mother who had ignored him for so many years, but when he was hugged by the woman who rushed over, when his clothes were soaked with the tears of the woman who couldn't cry, and his body and mind were filled with the warmth of maternal love, Yun Yan's head was stunned, blank, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law and grandson were crying into tears, Grandma Wu's red eyes also shed tears, so many years of persistence and so many years of concealment, it was finally time for the truth to be revealed.
"Sister, my girl......" Feeling the resistance of Yun Yan who was held by her from a strange to the acceptance of mother and son, the woman named Red Bird cried even more, as if she wanted to vent her thoughts and guilt about Yun Yan in the past 18 years.
"Hey, life is like a reverse journey, nothing more than that!" The patriarch of Juzi stood aside, even if she had been in power for so many years, she couldn't help but feel kinship.
"Grandma......" After the woman hugged her tighter and cried harder, although Yun Yan felt the deep feelings in her heart, her body became tense again, and she turned her head to look at Grandma Wu and cast a look for help.
"After all, you still can't accept it immediately?!" Grandma Wu sighed secretly in her heart, knowing that this kind of thing could not be in a hurry, she said, "Daughter-in-law, let Yan'er go to see the ancestor first, and then you will continue the relationship between mother and son!" ”
The red bird also understood the truth that he couldn't rush to achieve success, but it was still difficult to accept Yun Yan's situation, tears poured down, and after letting go of Yun Yan, he seemed to think of something, and looked up at his eyes eagerly and worriedly: "Yan'er, do you hate your mother?" ”
Yun Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I have grown up and know how to distinguish between right and wrong!" Today's circumstances tell me that there should be a reason why I lived with my grandmother and was expelled from Xiangle since I was a child, and I want to know the reason! ”
"Good, good, good!" The red bird nodded again and again, "Yan'er, don't let the ancestor wait longer, let's go to the ancestral hall, she will tell you everything!" ”
Seeing this, the patriarch of Juzi also took the cane in his hand and commanded the people who followed behind him: "You all stay here and wait!" ”
"Yes, Patriarch!" In this flurry of echoes, the patriarch of Juzi once again led Yun Yan, Grandma Wu and Red Bird to the ancestral hall, and in the process of walking, Yun Yan once again keenly perceived all kinds of eyes projected from behind, one of which made people hairy eyes know that it must be a nightmare without looking back.
"Soraku calculated me at the beginning and caused me to be expelled from Soraku, although it may be that for some reason he decided to push the boat down, but now that I have come back in vain and entered the ancestral hall, it is no wonder that he looks at me like this!" At the moment before entering the ancestral hall, Yun Yan stopped for a moment and glanced back at Xiang Le Nightmare, and then turned around and stepped into the door of the ancestral hall.
Walking into the ancestral hall, what you see is a stone slab inlaid on the wall facing the gate, which is very similar to the divine object that Yun Yan has seen in the lotus secret realm except for the different colors, and the appearance is very similar, all carved with complex but indescribable mysterious patterns, some of which are connected to form a proud appearance of Arceus.
Under the stone slab is a high platform, on which is placed a yellow gourd, in the past when Yun Yan participated in the family sacrifice activities, once felt the powerful aura it emitted when it was activated, now look at it, although the gourd is in a silent state, but it seems to be communicating with heaven and earth all the time, just like a person breathing and breathing, giving birth to his own will.
Maybe Yun Yan's gaze was too direct, and the gourd with its own will began to wake up, but it only emitted a faint light, and it was held down by a delicate palm, and after patting it gently like a child, it fell silent again.
The owner of the delicate palm was none other than the woman in palace clothes that Yun Yan had seen in the Misty Mountain through time and with Carlos's own eyes, and after seeing her appease the gourd, she bypassed the offering table full of ancestral spiritual seats under the high platform, and walked to Yun Yan's side.
"Yan'er, come and put incense on the ancestors!" The woman in the palace costume who had not been found out by Yun Yan at all when she appeared lit three strands of incense and handed them to Yun Yan.
"Shangxiang?!" Yun Yan looked at the incense handed by the woman in the palace clothes, then looked up at the woman's face wearing tulle, and then turned her eyes from her grandmother, mother and Juzi, without stretching out her hand, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
"Yan'er, the ancestors on the offering table are all at or above the championship level without exception, or they have made fateful contributions to the family, you have their blood in your body, you are their descendants, this is not something that can be cut off by the loss of the surname!" The woman in the palace costume didn't care when she saw that Yun Yan didn't answer, and after taking back the incense, she turned her eyes back and looked at the tablets one by one, and after finishing speaking, she handed the incense to Yun Yan again, "Put on the incense, Yan'er!" ”
"Am I still a cloud after the incense?" Yun Yan still didn't answer, staring at the woman in palace clothes and asking rhetorically.
"Hey, you, your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather, all have such a temperament!" The woman in the palace costume sighed inexplicably, and was about to put away the incense, "That's it, after you understand the truth, then decide whether to put this incense on the ancestors!" ”
"I'm on!" Hearing the palace woman mention her father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Yun Yan's eyes suddenly turned to the offering table, wanting to find their traces from it, and took the incense easily, walked to the offering table, and finished it according to the etiquette when worshiping the ancestors before, but after Yun Yan finished this set, he seemed to feel that there seemed to be something blessed on his body, and although the Juzi patriarch standing on the side had no expression before, he was vaguely revealing a little at the moment.
Ignoring his feelings, and ignoring the emotions revealed by the Juzi patriarch, Yun Yan faced the palace woman again: "What should I call you?" ”
"The title is just a code name, you can call me by my first name, or you can call me ...... Great-grandmother! Regardless of what Mei Ji said in her mouth, she didn't seem to care, but when she really said the words 'great-grandmother', her tone still fluctuated slightly, and a trace of expectation flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Great-grandmother? Mom? It turns out that I'm not just grandma! Although Yun Yan had been prepared and knew that the young and excessively old ancestor in front of him must be close to him, he never expected that it would be so close, and the bitterness in his heart overflowed, "So what about my grandfather, grandfather, and father, are they still alive?" Are you all unable to see me for some reason? ”
"Yan'er~" Grandma Wu couldn't bear it, and called softly, and the tears that had not dried up flowed down again, and even Mei Ji's eyes flashed with pain.
"They're really gone!" Mei Ji paused as she said and looked at Yun Yan, "Yan'er, great-grandmother will tell you a story!" ”
