Chapter 318: A Foreign Country

Yu Zexuan arrived at the Li family alone, and in the past few days, the Li family has been immersed in an atmosphere of grief. All the activities of the many family memorial activities www.biquge.info Bi Fun Pavilion are guided by different people as direct disciples of Li Zhiqi. The Li family was neither repulsive nor kind to him.

Except for the first day of arrival, Steward Li sent someone to lead Yu Zexuan to live in the Li family's Wanshu Plum Blossom Binliao. In the past few days, when participating in various ceremonies, I can also see all the upper elders of the Li family and the owners of each house. But all the people were so busy with the rituals that they didn't have time to speak.

Everyone else seems to have a sense of alienation from them. In addition, most of the language is spoken in English and Hokkien. The language barrier made Yu Zexuan feel confused and alienated.

However, after the memorial ceremony in the past few days, Yu Zexuan also knew that the Li family was composed of five houses. The word mountain takes its majesty and stability like a mountain, representing the way of military force. The meaning of the word sea is taken from the broad and far-reaching, representing the way of learning from the sea of books. Mulberry is naturally an industry, fields are self-evidently agriculture, and commerce is directly directed to commerce.

This shows the foundation of the Li family. But at present, Yu Zexuan does not know whether this name is a special division of labor among the houses or just a symbol.

For three days, in addition to participating in various ceremonies. Every night in the dead of night, Yu Zexuan has to secretly practice the Purple Flame Technique, combined with the experience and comprehension of the easy recipe to return to Tibet. I also have time to practice how to use the space compass. When there are people, they follow the detailed kung fu routines hidden in the handle of the Sumeru vajra and perform physical exercises. Life is also very fulfilling.

Combined with the cultivation of the Purple Flame Method and the Returning to Tibet Easy Method, Yu Zexuan gradually realized that the Purple Flame Method is the spiritual energy in the body to follow the meridians and guide the internal organs. The easy recipe for returning to the collection focuses more on absorbing the aura from the outside, and the aura is collected and returned to the scriptures after entering the body. If the Guizang Yi recipe is the ontology, combined with the purple flame recipe as the internal response, it is just used in combination.

At the same time, he also found that what made him feel most gratifying was that the five kinds of aura here were very strong. Among them, the two kinds of aura, water and earth, especially the aura of water attributes, are the most abundant, although the aura of gold and wood is less, but it is also sufficient, and only the fire aura is relatively less.

But with his current strength, the amount of aura that he can absorb is very small, so it is also very convenient to cultivate. Just adding gold, fire, and a small amount of wood attribute spirit glue is enough to balance the absorption.

But what made Yu Zexuan very confused was that there was a gray-white cloud hidden at the bottom of his lower dantian, under the submarine wheel, which was mixed with wisps of black and white, intertwined with each other. Like a cosmic black hole, in addition to the aura left in the viscera and meridians, as long as the aura that enters the sea of qi or dantian is immediately swept into the clouds.

Fortunately, the Five Spirits Purple Flame Technique and the Returning to the Tibetan Easy Technique are first classified into the organs through the body and skin meridians, and finally converge into the Qi Sea. Therefore, the meridians and viscera benefit the most. Recently, the organs and meridians that have been injured many times have been repaired. Yu Zexuan felt more energetic and healthy than he had ever been. When practicing Sumeru's vajra kung fu, you can practice with a slight combination of spiritual power.

Today is the day of the service. According to the traditional custom of "after the funeral, all clothes are removed", each room has its own various burial objects. The memorial objects are gathered in the ancestral hall compound, and the burnt offering ceremony is held at noon.

At the ugly time, some people came to the Wanshu Plum Blossom Guest House of the Li family where Yu Zexuan lived, and arranged for Yu Zexuan to participate in various rituals of the burnt sacrifice ceremony.

At the end of the day, Yu Zexuan came to the ancestral hall with the Li family to prepare. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the master of ceremonies came to Yu Zexuan's temporary resting meditation and took Yu Zexuan to the burnt offering ground in the Li ancestral hall.

When Yu Zexuan helped Li Zhiqi enter the ancestral hall last night, he had come to the Li ancestral hall. It was the middle of the night, and I didn't have time to look around. Therefore, except for a "big" impression of the Li ancestral hall, there is not much memory.

At this time, I followed the master of ceremonies and noticed how small this big concept was. Jingzhai itself is a three-entry quadrangle, in addition to the main house, the wing room, more than ten rooms on both sides of the corridor in each courtyard, the rockery pond in the garden, the pavilion of the building, the water pavilion and the warm pavilion are distributed.

Out of the main gate of Jingzhai, walk about 200 meters along the road planted with ancient cypress and stone people and stone horses on both sides to reach the first main shrine.

The crowd walked around from the side to the back, passing by the scripture building in the middle garden and the Valhalla in the backyard. Through a moon gate, you enter a dense forest of pines and cypresses, where centuries-old cypresses obscure the sky. After walking along the bluestone road for about 100 meters, it suddenly opens up to a square about the size of a football field paved with white stone slabs.

The square is square, there are four zhang more than high platforms on the four sides, there is a huge iron frame on the platform, and there are all kinds of mourning clothes, funeral objects and offerings inside. The four corners are four dragon stone pillars more than two zhang high, and the four divine beasts poured in bronze are placed on the top of the stone pillars according to the orientation. In the middle is a circular altar made of white stone, and six bronze burnt altars are placed around the altar according to the direction of the six or six heavenly gangs.

According to the heavens and the earth, the seven stars and nine gates, the six Ding and the six party positions are inserted in the green dragon and white tiger soaptooth flag. Seven-colored flags flutter gently in the morning breeze. In the center, a six-zhang flagpole was on the top of a blue soul flag, turning slightly.

Directly south of the altar, a group of triple shelves, 56 chimes and a group of chimes of the same system are arranged on both sides of the goose wings. The eight-foot copper python gong and the eight-foot horseskin drum are in the back.

Sitting in front of the south and facing north, there is a huge white stone offering table, covered with green yarn as the bottom, the portrait of Manager Li, that is, Li Defeng, is placed in the center, and Li Zhiqi and the captain of the Ningyuan are lined up on both sides. The left and right wings are divided into phalanxes, and the remains of 631 family disciples who died are placed on each side.

All the statues are placed on a sheet of navy blue satin, with a golden plum blossom visible in the corner hanging from the front. In front of the statue, the tribute is stacked with fresh fruits and flowers.

As soon as Yu Zexuan and his entourage arrived, the people of each clan entered the venue from five directions almost at the same time. Stand in their respective positions in each room, and then a group of people dressed in white enter under the altar due south, holding seers, qins, shengs, pan flutes, and chis.

A clear bell rang, and the bells, drums, and ceremonial music played. Amid the music, a group of people dressed in soap clothes and masks, holding the festival, marched through the song, entered from the north, and came to the altar.

There was a drum beat, and the liturgical music came to an abrupt end. The five elders entered through the south gate, the east gate was the true Qing Taoist priest, and the west gate was the robed monk, and they entered the altar in turn.

In the midst of the bursts of Taoism and the sound of Fanbai, the net whip sounded three times, and the master of ceremonies loudly proclaimed, "Sacrifice!" ”

Yu Zexuan stepped forward in front of the offering table, according to the bell and drum beat, under the command of the master of ceremonies, bowed three times. got up and stepped forward and picked up the portrait of Li Zhiqi. The master of ceremonies led him to the burnt offering furnace in the middle of the altar. The other victims all came later with their own portraits.
