Chapter 1053: Mourning in the Mourning Hall
Even if the invading enemy breaks through the gate, the people in the Sword Alliance can also use the valley army formation to block the enemy, which is very good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Turning the mountainside of the mountain, what catches your eye is a simple and atmospheric pavilion, and the big characters of the three dragons flying and phoenix dancing are also clearly seen from a long distance, Juyi Hall. Directly in front of the Guanmen in the distance, two huge extraterrestrial stones, one on the left and one on the right, locked the throat of the Hidden Sword Valley, looking down on the great rivers and mountains between the Guanmen and the Juyi Hall.
On this sunny day, you can see water buffaloes walking leisurely on the field path on the flat hinterland.
It is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Luo secretly praised, the Sword Alliance has been able to stand in Beifu after several generations of alliance leaders, and now he has the potential to take charge of Yanshen Prefecture and the martial arts bull ears of several nearby states, and he does have his advantages.
But no matter how beautiful the wind and sun are today, the atmosphere in the valley is very heavy, the widow of the old alliance leader was killed, and in addition to sadness, there is only the resentment and killing intent that rises to the sky.
Li Luo followed Xiaozhu around to a living room next to the Juyi Hall, this is the mourning hall of Zuo Haotang, the young master of the Sword Alliance, and now the lord of the Sword Alliance is not Zuo Haotang, but there is no qualification to set up a mourning hall in the Juyi Hall.
Sanzhang Baiwan swayed in the wind, and people came in and out of the mourning hall from time to time, white clothes and black belts, most of them were angry. Although Zuo Haotang has a noble status, he has a poor reputation in the rivers and lakes after all, most of the people who come at this time are people who have close friends with the left of the Sword Alliance, and the rest are people in the Sword League, and there are very few people like Li Luo who are at the right time.
In front of the mourning hall, Li Luo stopped for a while, according to the number of etiquette, he asked the disciples of the main family to pass on a message, and then the people who were waiting for guests to welcome him into the mourning hall, and then burned incense to express his condolences. Xiaozhu also wore a plain mourning dress today, apologized to Li Luo, and walked into the house to pass it on.
Li Luo moved a few steps to the side of the door, made way for the passage in and out, and waited quietly. There were people coming in and out of the door, but no one questioned Li Luo's whereabouts, except for a few people who hurriedly entered and exited with a lot of heart, most of the rest would nod and say hello to Li Luo, a stranger, with a kind demeanor. Li Luo returned the salute one by one, and also took a look at the Sword Alliance, so polite and virtuous, this Sword Alliance is not only extraordinary, but also has a tolerant bearing.
After waiting for a while, Xiaozhu didn't come out, and it turned out to be the eldest lady. Li Luo was slightly surprised, if the people of the Sword League knew Li Luo's identity, it would not be surprising to greet him for a few miles, but Li Luo is now just an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, and Ji Zhilu and the Sword Alliance still have a life-saving grace for Li Luo, and the eldest lady will even go out to greet him in person, this bearing alone is far better than ordinary people, at least the princes and ministers in Zhuocheng cannot be compared.
Seeing that the eldest lady was walking straight towards Li Luo, Li Luo was convinced that the eldest lady was indeed to greet him, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully and said in a harmonious voice: "The eldest lady." ”
The eldest lady nodded kindly and said, "You're here." ”
"Well, please forgive the juniors for their belated sins."
The eldest lady shook her head and said, "The son is serious, where is there any belated crime, it is good that you can come." After the tragic death of his only son, although he still looks tough and plain on the outside, there is more deep tiredness and vicissitudes in his words.
"Guimeng and Miss Ji have a life-saving grace for the younger generation, and the younger generation has nothing to repay, so they can only burn a stick of incense and talk about their broken hearts."
"Since you come to Xiaoxing Mountain, you are a guest, and the son doesn't have to be polite, and Tang'er Jiuquan should also be happy." The eldest lady paused for a moment and continued, "I heard Zhilu say that you have other important matters, and you will go down the mountain in a few days. You are Zhilu's guest, that is, the guest of the Sword League, if the son is not in a hurry, just wait for the dog to be buried before leaving, and the Sword League should also do the friendship of the landlord to entertain the son. If Gongzi really has something important to go down the mountain, then I won't keep you, Xiaozhu will arrange it properly and send Gongzi down the mountain. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Li Luo gave a sincere salute, such a courtesy, which really made Li Luo secretly break his heart.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, the rivers and lakes are chaotic, people in the same way have to support each other, if Childe comes to Xiaoxingshan again, you might as well stay for a few more days."
"The younger generation will definitely come to the door to thank you in the future."
"Don't talk about that, Childe, please come in." The eldest lady leaned slightly to the side and made a gesture.
Li Luo saluted again, took the gift of the juniors, and let the eldest lady take the first step. The eldest lady was not polite, bowed her head slightly, and turned around and entered the mourning hall.
The mourning hall is not big, and everything is black and white. There was quite a cold feeling in the hall, Li Luo raised his eyes and swept away, and Zuo Haotang's coffin was covered with cold ice, so as to ensure that the body would not decay too quickly after entering the summer. There are many people standing in the mourning hall, there are men and women, old and young, there are nearly 100 people at a glance, it seems that they are all people in the Sword Alliance, many of them have high temples and drums, and their eyes are open and closed, and they are all martial arts masters who cultivate both inside and outside.
Ji Zhilu was dressed in white, quietly kneeling in front of the coffin to keep watch, the cold snow was also on the side, and there were several women and young sons kneeling opposite, I don't know who Zuo Haotang was.
Everyone in the hall was slightly surprised to see the eldest lady leading a pale young man into the mourning hall, but there was no difference, and although there were a few contemptuous glances in Li Luo's eyes, there was no hostility or dissatisfaction.
After entering the hall, the eldest lady stood in front of the spirit, and the weakness and tiredness outside the door had long disappeared, and she was replaced with a solemn and condensed look.
Seeing Li Luo coming in, Han Xue whispered to Ji Zhilu, Ji Zhilu glanced up at Li Luo, nodded slightly, then lowered her gaze again, and haggardly added paper money to the brazier.
Li Luo exhaled a breath of turbidity, it is useless to kill people in his life, and there are countless soldiers who worship souls in foreign lands, but there are not many such people to worship a dead person. As soon as he stepped into the mourning hall, Li Luo felt a chill on his body, this kind of coldness was not the chill emanating from a layer of cold ice under the coffin, but a kind of awe of life and death. Between heaven and earth, a flower and a tree, an insect and a bird, all are alive, it is easy to die, it is difficult to live, if there is no reverence for the life and death of heaven and earth, it is not far from entering the devil.
Li Luo took a few steps forward, and was about to burn incense to worship, when suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked at a person kneeling three steps away from the coffin in a daze. Although this person lowered his head, as if something had crushed his back, his figure was extremely familiar, and he must have been a person Li Luo had seen.
Li Luo was so stunned that he forgot where he was for a while, and stared intently at the figure kneeling on the ground. At the beginning, it was okay, and everyone in the hall only felt something in Li Luo's heart, and his heart was agitated.
