Chapter 4 It's all the moon's fault

After returning from the morning exercise, Luo Xiang'er quickly felt the third benefit of the seven spirits: eat Ma Ma Xiang!

At the dinner table, Grandpa Luo announced that this year's ancestor worship would be set at 7 p.m. on September 15, the day of the largest moon of the millennium, announced by the Observatory.

Then, everyone had a meal. Because the Luo family adheres to the ancient precepts and has not been separated, more than 20 people from four generations, young and old, dine together, which is very warm. Luo Xiang'er had an excellent appetite today: she ate a bowl of boat porridge, two shrimp dumplings, two fried wontons, a five-ding bun, a small fluttershy cold salad with three shreds, a tiger skin and phoenix feet, and an assorted fruit. The grandmother who watched it smiled and said, "It's so good! Eat as much as you can. Tell grandma what you want to eat at noon, and grandma will prepare. Miss Luo smacked her lips, and announced the name of the dish very much, completely getting rid of the dilemma that eating is the task. Several aunts smiled kindly.

While assisting the family in preparing for the ancestor worship, Luo Xianger continued to work on her dietary innovation, and wrote out the corresponding recipes in detail and handed them over to her grandfather the morning before the ancestor worship.

After breakfast on the day of ancestor worship, Miss Luo suddenly wanted to go to see her parents. After saying hello to my grandparents, I drove to my parents' cemetery. She set up the food that her parents loved to eat before their deaths, poured three glasses of home-brewed plum wine, two glasses for her parents, and one for herself. Looking at the photos of her parents in front of her and recalling their love when she was a child, Luo Xiang'er's heart was filled with a strong sense of reluctance, and she murmured to them: her recent achievements and adventures......

Luo Xianger came back at lunchtime, accompanied her grandparents to eat, walk, make tea herself, and gave the old man a pulse, checked her body, and told the precautions from time to time.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the head of the family, Grandpa Luo, led the whole family for four generations to the ancestral ancestral hall in the north of the manor. The women and children all knelt outside the ancestral hall in order of generation, and of course, Luo Xiang'er was allowed to enter the ancestral hall with the men because of her outstanding contribution to the family.

Tonight's moon is exceptionally bright, and the silver moonlight shines through the wide open doors and openwork wooden lattice windows, draping the hundreds of tablets neatly placed behind the offering table in silver, and the atmosphere becomes more and more sacred. The candles on both sides of the candlesticks have been lit, and the offering table has been filled with various snacks and fruits. Grandpa respectfully held the heirloom: "Wujing Knife" to the middle of the offering table and put it away. Then it is time to offer incense, bow down, listen to the ancestral teachings, and report on the achievements of the family...... Luo Xianger suppressed the inexplicable ups and downs in her heart and completed every link meticulously.

The more than an hour of ancestor worship ceremony finally came to an end, the elders in the ancestral hall withdrew one after another, and Luo Xiang'er was the last to get up from the futon. At this moment, the black essence knife on the offering table suddenly rose, bathed in the silver-white moonlight, swirling and shining, Luo Xiang'er was shocked, and guessed: This treasure knife is absorbing the essence of the moon. To tell her grandfather quickly, with this thought, she quickly turned around and crossed the threshold and ran out of the ancestral hall.

Luo Xiang'er, who was in a hurry, didn't notice that the five-grain jade pendant on her chest had jumped out of the collar and glowed with white jade. As soon as she took a few steps, she saw that the black essence knife flew into the courtyard and stopped in mid-air, the black paint became brighter and brighter, and the blade became smaller and smaller. "Will it disappear?" Luo Xiang'er wanted to step forward, but found that her body was locked and she couldn't move.

At this time, the five grains and jade pendants were shining, wrapping the master's body in it. The black essence knife, which had shrunk to the size of a jujube core, rushed over quickly and disappeared into the jade pendant. And Luo Xiang'er's soul was then sucked into the jade pendant. At this moment, the bright moon in the sky was connected with the South Pole Star and the Purple Micro Star, and a purple dragon faintly appeared in the vast night sky. The five grains and jade pendant turned into a silver line in the direction of the dragon's dragon head, and disappeared in an instant.

Before Luo Xiang'er fell asleep, she sighed, "It's all the moon's fault!" ”
