Chapter 49 Ancestor Worship Ceremony
Tom tom tom .....
The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, waking Dongfang Yun.
In the distance, the horses' hooves sounded, like a muffled thunder and vibrate, several horses that were all pitch black, without a trace of variegated horses, galloped from afar, and all of them were two or three meters high, majestic, and their eyes were shining, which was not inferior to the snow horses of the Oriental family.
"This is a black horse, with the blood of an ancient beast, and it is also a rare treasure, no less than a snow horse. The scholar-like man folded his fan and shook it lightly, explaining again.
"A black nightmare horse as precious as a snow horse, so the person who came here could it be the Zhang family, one of the three major families in Zhaonan County?" Fang Zhong moved and couldn't help but ask.
"It is indeed a member of the Zhang family, and it is also a famous master of the younger generation of the Zhang family, the young man led by him is named Zhang Yuanfeng, and his strength is said to be second only to the super genius Zhang Wu of the Zhang family, and his cultivation has also reached the realm of first-class martial artists. The man who looked like a scholar seemed to be very familiar with the three major families, like a Bai Xiaosheng, he leaned over to Fang Zhong and said, looking familiar.
"This brother Tai, he is heavy below, haven't you asked Brother Tai's surname yet?" Fang Zhong showed a smile, he felt that this scholar knew a lot, and it might be useful to make friends.
The scholar folded his fan and shook it, arched his hand and said with a smile: "In the next week, he will be called Bai Xiaosheng." ”
"It's really Bai Xiaosheng. Fang Zhong smiled in his heart, revealing a harmless smile of humans and animals, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, are you also here to observe the Fang family's martial arts discussion?
Zhou Jin frowned, stared at Fang Zhong vigilantly, tilted his head and thought about it, and then suddenly said: "Your surname is Fang, oh, then you should be a member of the Fang family, seeing that you are only fourteen or fifteen years old, you should be ready to participate in the family martial arts, right?"
"Brother Zhou's eyes are like torches, it is true. ”
"You don't necessarily know if you ask someone about this, but it's the right person to ask me. Zhou Jin spread out the folding fan, shook it twice, looked unfathomable, and said: "The Dongfang family and the Zhang family both have geniuses, and the Fang family also has them, named Fang Shao, it is said that he is only seventeen years old, but his cultivation has reached the peak realm of first-class martial artists, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the innate level. ”
The Fang family is one of the three major families in Zhaonan County, and it is not uncommon for them to have geniuses.
Fang Zhong was not so surprised by this, reaching the peak realm of a first-class martial artist at the age of seventeen, such a cultivation was indeed amazing among ordinary people, but it was not good for him.
It's not that Fang is conceited, but he has the ability to be proud, he has only been in this world for more than a year, and it only took more than a year to cultivate from an ordinary person to the second-rate martial artist realm, this kind of speed is much more terrifying than those so-called geniuses who have reached the first-class martial artist realm in sixteen or seventeen.
Smiling slightly, Fang Zhong didn't say anything more, and looked at the people of the Dongfang family and the Zhang family in the distance.
The black nightmare horse is pitch black, its eyes are like a torch, and the white mane of the cloud-stepping horse is like snow, as if it is walking on the clouds, all of them are incomparable alien species, gathered at the door of Fang's house, and suddenly looked very extraordinary.
"Brother Dongfang. Zhang Yuanfeng stopped not far from Dongfang Yun, facing each other from a distance, showing a strange smile, and said: "I didn't expect Brother Dongfang to come, could it be that he has an itch in his heart, and wants to take advantage of the Fang family's martial arts discussion to have a fight with the young masters of the Fang family, right?"
"Brother Zhang, where did you start with this? You and I are both here to watch the ceremony, do you already have such a plan in your heart?" Dongfang Yun's face was calm and indifferent, but he couldn't help frowning in his heart, "This Zhang Yuanfeng is here to make trouble, and wants to provoke the Dongfang family and the Fang family. ”
didn't see anything unusual from Dongfang Yun's face, Zhang Yuanfeng smiled slightly, walked forward, and said with a smile: "In this way, then I will go in first and wait for Brother Dongfang inside." ”
Behind Zhang Yuanfeng, several black nightmare horses of divine horses rattled and walked in the distance.
It wasn't until Zhang Yuanfeng entered the Fang family's mansion that Dongfang Yun retracted his smile and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go in too." ”
A silent turmoil came to an end, but many people could see that the Zhang family and the Dongfang family were not on the same page and were secretly competing against each other.
The three major families of Zhaonan County, although they are harmonious on the surface, but secretly there is an undercurrent surging, fighting endlessly, and there has never been a shortage of open and secret battles for thousands of years.
However, for thousands of years, although there are victories and defeats against each other, the three major families still coexist in Zhaonanjun, and no one can really overwhelm anyone, and the battle between the three major families has become more and more intense, especially the younger generation, which is full of gunpowder.
Fang Zhong fell in the middle of the crowd, watched this scene quietly, and smiled secretly in his heart, the three major families had nothing to do with him, and he had never admitted that he was a member of the Fang family in Zhaonan County.
To put it bluntly, he and the Fang family of Zhaonan County are a kind of cooperative relationship, and they are connected by interests, and there is not much emotion at all, not to mention the bullshit sense of family belonging, if there is really that thing, their family will not be reduced for hundreds of years, and it is only slightly better now.
Bai Xiaosheng, who looked like a scholar, did come to observe the family's martial arts, although he couldn't see that he had any deep background, but he was also invited by the Fang family, which made Fang Zhong a little surprised.
In the end, Bai Xiaosheng followed Fang Zhong and Fang Zongqing into the Fang family together.
Today is only the first day of the family's martial arts, and there will be no competition, just some trivial things such as ancestor worship, lottery, grouping, etc.
Entering the Fang family's mansion, Fang Chong's eyes couldn't help but narrow, with his keen insight as an agent of the Dragon Group in his previous life, he immediately discovered that the Fang family's mansion was unusual.
The furnishings in the Fang family's mansion are elegant, there is no extravagance, and many things look extremely ancient, with a unique atmosphere of a thousand-year-old family.
However, what really surprised Fang Zhong was that there was a mystery in the Fang family's mansion, all kinds of furnishings had their own unique rules, there were things similar to those in Qimen Dunjia, and there was a hidden murder in the middle of the plain garden landscape, which was hidden but not revealed, obviously laying out an extraordinary large array.
"Millennial family, how deep is it?" Fang Zhong was awe-inspiring, and felt more and more extraordinary about the millennium family.
When it was close to noon, almost all the people who came to congratulate or watch the ceremony came, the three major families, various forces, and even the officials of the Zhaonan Dynasty were present in person.
There was a huge square in the middle of the Fang family's mansion, which was several miles long, and everyone gathered in the square sparsely, and it did not seem crowded.
Above the square is a three-zhang high altar, on the altar stands a stone stele, all of them are ancient green steel stone carvings, full of ten zhang high, such as a sword upright, sharp edge, with indescribable shocking power.
"Hey, that's ....." Fang Zhong stood under the square, and actually saw Mr. Lin and his granddaughter Lin Yan in Vientiane Lou at the front of the altar.
"Vientiane Building has also been invited, and it's not just Vientiane Building. Fang Chong's eyes looked along the front of the altar, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "That kind of armor is a person from the Red Tiger Army, the face of the Fang family is indeed big enough, and even the Red Tiger Army has people come to watch the ceremony." ”
That's when —
A group of people came out of the altar, most of them were old men, with beards and thin descriptions, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Bai Xiaosheng followed Fang Chong's gaze and explained in a low voice: "This is the elder of the Fang family, don't look at them as skinny and dying, in fact, every elder is a superb master, almost all of them have reached the innate realm. ”
"All of them have reached the innate realm. Fang Zhong was taken aback, there were more than a dozen of them, and they were all innate realms!
In front of more than a dozen elders, several middle-aged people stepped out, their momentum was extremely strong, and their heavy footsteps stepped on the altar paved with green steel rock, and a dull rumbling sound sounded.
Qinggang rock is not an ordinary rock, comparable to steel, extremely hard, but those middle-aged people just stepped on it, and they have such a momentum, which is very unusual.
"It's the head of the Fang family and a few masters, this kind of power alone is terrifying, it's too powerful. ”
"It is said that the head of the Fang family has already reached the innate realm, and his cultivation is unfathomable, and now he really deserves his reputation at first sight. ”
"Not only the head of the family, but also the third, sixth, seventh, and ninth masters of the Fang family are all great masters of the innate realm, the heritage of the great family, tsk....."
There were many people in the crowd who were talking in a low voice, admiring, the Fang family was indeed strong, and so many innate masters were shocking.
Beside Fang Chong, Bai Xiaosheng folded the fan, and there was a rare look of admiration on his face, and said: "That's Fang Zongtian, the head of the Fang family, as well as the third master Fang Zongxu, the sixth master Fang Zongzhou, the seventh master Fang Zongwu, the ninth master Fang Zongping, and the five brothers of one family, all of whom are congenital masters." ”
Fang Zhong didn't know what to say anymore, those people were all people of the same generation as his father, but their status and personal cultivation were worlds apart.
.......
"Ancestor worship begins!"
There was a shout on the altar, and suddenly the drums were beating, the orchestra was leveled, and the fireworks and firecrackers continued to sound, and everyone was in awe, and they bowed down together with the powerful figures of the Fang family on the altar.
"Our family has been inherited for more than 4,700 years, after several ups and downs, countless ancestors have worked hard and worked hard, and finally have the current foundation, everyone follows me..... Worship the ancestors!"
The voice of Fang Zongtian, the head of the Fang family, came from the altar, not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears, making people's blood boil and their hearts shake.
All the descendants of the Fang family bowed down, even the side branches.
While everyone was bowing, several warriors in cold armor came from the back of the square, carrying a huge iron cage, which was three feet long, and the sound of beast roars came from inside, which was deafening.
