Chapter 270: The Mystery of the Deep Mansion Compound
Dusk was approaching, and the clansmen of the Shenyin clan and their guests and friends lined up in front of the Shenfu Sect Temple in the depths of the courtyard. This hidden ancient temple is not large in scale, but it is still solemn. The bride Kamiori and the groom Yin Gechuan in traditional dresses walked in front of everyone under the guidance of the attendants of the temple, followed by the clansmen such as Shenyin, Shenjiao, Shenyuxuan, and Chenkefan. The crowd first lined up outside the Jongmyo Temple, and then bowed to the Jongmyo with blue tiles and red pillars. Then, at dusk, the bride and groom, Xi Yun, Shen Yin, Shen Ji and others entered the temple.
The group that entered the temple, under the auspices of the attendants of the temple, first knelt down collectively to bow to the ancestral tablets, and then got up and stood aside. The bride and groom bow before their ancestors again, and when they get up, they turn to their respective parents and bow down. Kamiori bowed to the right to worship her grandfather Shenyin and maternal grandfather Shenji, and Yin Gechuan knelt to the left to worship his aunt Xiyun. When it is over, the newlyweds get up, and then bow to each other. During the whole process, only the presiding officer of the Jongmyo chanted briefly, and the rest was carried out in silence, and even the VIPs outside the Jongmyo were silent. After that, when the group in the temple came out to interact with everyone cordially, the greetings and greetings came one after another.
Although the ceremony is so brief, the significance is extraordinary, and it has been passed down for a long time. At dusk, day and night enter the alternation, at this time yin and yang are agitated, heaven and earth are combined, so people imitate heaven and earth and perform faint rituals, which is conducive to men and women, extending children, and passing on the clan.
In addition, before the relatives and guests gather at the temple, it not only shows the orthodox respect for the temple and the ancestors, but also shows the observance of the etiquette of respecting the family elders for the next generation.
However, the Shenyin clan practiced this ritual only for a superficial purpose, that is, to disguise their usual bloody and violent appearance.
After Xia Yuqian finished the ceremony, she found Master Chenkefan.
"Master, are we still going to attend the night banquet in the Yanbin Pavilion, or should we go back to Ziyun Mountain immediately?"
"Early tomorrow morning, we will rush back to Ziyun Mountain. Night banquet, you can do whatever you want, if you want to go, go and see, if you don't want to go, go back to the guest room as soon as possible to rest!"
"Oh, then I'd better go check it out first!"
Xia Yuqian said, and walked to the banquet hall of the Yanbin Pavilion with Chen Kefan.
Xia Yuqian's heart still couldn't let go of Fengchen's advice, and she hoped to implement the situation of Yin Gechuan again. At the ceremony just now, although Yin Gechuan's demeanor looked very sober, and there seemed to be no trace of drunkenness, but his face was pale and his body was light.
Therefore, Xia Yuqian thought that if Yin Gechuan was also at the night banquet, no matter what, she would go up to him to say a few words and greetings, and also convey Feng Chen's concern for him.
However, after arriving at the scene in the banquet hall, Xia Yuqian did not see the shadow of the bride and groom. So, she was about to say goodbye to Chen Kefan and go back to the guest room, but she was stopped by someone coldly.
"Hello two! I'm Han Yifeng from Han Mansion, Miss Yuqian is good, but Cousin Fan is good!"
Xia Yuqian looked at it, it was really Han Yifeng, but he didn't expect him to come, and he was also called Cousin Chen Kefan. She thought about it again, both of them should be Kamiori's cousins. However, Xia Yuqian didn't want to deal with Han Yifeng at all. The reason is not that he treated himself ruthlessly in front of the gate of the Han Mansion. Rather, his attitude towards his own brother Han Shaokun. His style of abandoning family affection and ignoring Han Shaokun's life and death made Xia Yuqian never pay attention to him.
Xia Yuqian glanced at him, pretended not to know, and turned to leave. And after Chen Kefan glared at him angrily, he also turned around and left, catching up with Xia Yuqian.
What made Chen Kefan indignant was that in front of the gate of the Han Mansion, Han Yifeng treated Xia Yuqian coldly. At that time, Chen Kefan was highly poisoned and appeared in the red fox, and followed Xia Yuqian to wander away. But he clearly witnessed everything in front of the Han Mansion at that time, and since then he has held a grudge against Han Yifeng. At today's banquet, Chen Kefan had already seen the happy relationship between Han Yifeng and Shenyin, and he just ignored it.
Han Yifeng looked at the way they ignored them, turned around and left, but felt quite funny. He smiled contemptuously, then "snorted" again, shook his hand, and turned away.
Xia Yuqian had no choice but to leave the banquet site and return to the guest room to rest. At this moment, she was rarely pure. Today, it was the first time for her to attend such a grand wedding and spend such a noisy and enthusiastic day. She lay on her back on the bed, and the scenes of the day reappeared in her mind again and again. She experienced joy, sadness, passion, solemnity, and so on. I don't know where my younger brother Yamasuke is at the moment, whether he is lying comfortably on the bed like she is now. I hope that all the relatives are well!" Xia Yuqian thought about it and fell asleep deeply.
In the dead of night, Xia Yuqian suddenly woke up from her sleep, and she immediately fell asleep. She stretched out her hand, and there was nothing, and not a single leaf floated in. She pushed open the window and looked at the stars outside the window, it was still early in the morning, the night was shrouding all directions, and it was pitch black outside.
Suddenly, a few faint shadows danced in front of her eyes. Xia Yuqian felt very puzzled, stretched out a hand, and gently tested it. Sure enough, it was not a phantom, but a butterfly fluttering in her hand.
Xia Yuqian is very strange. At such times, there are butterflies flying. And these butterflies seemed to have something to ask her for, and refused to leave her hands.
Xia Yuqian looked at these butterflies that couldn't get in love, and didn't know what to do. Trying to stroke them, they dodged away, and when she tried to withdraw her hand, they flew back at once, dancing reluctantly. Xia Yuqian simply jumped down from the window and followed the fluttering butterflies.
The butterfly flew in a hurry, and Xia Yuqian followed closely. After a while, Xia Yuqian came to a lonely rockery in the depths of the courtyard of the Divine Mansion. It turns out that there are more butterflies here, and butterflies are constantly flying around the rockery. Xia Yuqian is very strange, walking around the rockery a few times, what will be here? Why are these butterflies so reluctant?
She was about to touch it with her hand, when suddenly she felt an unusual magic enveloping her, and it turned out that someone had set up a barrier. It seems that there must be something wrong with this. She concentrated her mind and internal force, going back and forth, repeatedly feeling the condition of this rockery and the barrier above it. She struggled to perceive their presence, their strength, their intensity.
