Zhu Zhiwei said: "Son, the little virtuous king of Xirong is called Qi Ketian, he is famous in Xirong, and his literary and military talents are extraordinary, and it is rumored that the next monarch in Xirong is this person." ”

Hu Chajing asked in surprise: "This kara has an heir, and the toad wants to eat swan meat." ”

Chu Ying'er couldn't bear it anymore, so she hurried two steps and walked past everyone and walked in front. Zhu Zhi smiled dumbly and said: "Son, Xirong Xianwang Ketian is not the son of Kaluo, but his younger brother. Xirong has always been a person with both ability and political integrity in the royal bloodline who is expected to become the monarch, not like me. ”

Only then did Hu Chajing realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he was silent. Shen Xiangdong looked back at Hu Chajing, shook his head and sighed, with an angry look, Hu Chajing's face turned red, and he glanced at it, and saw Zhu Zhi and Ni Qing secretly snickering, and shouted: "What are you laughing at, hurry up." ”

Suddenly, Li Luo whispered, "Go from the side." ”

Several people were stunned, and they didn't know why, Ni Qing's eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Queen bee!" ”

Shen Xiangdong raised his head and swept slightly, Qi Ketian was talking and laughing in a low voice with a person beside him, this person was slim, his face was covered with white sand, it was the queen bee Qingsang, and there were two people standing behind him, and everyone recognized it as Xu Huangge and Teng Feng.

Hu Chajing was surprised: "The legend is true. After speaking, he lowered his head, followed Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong to quietly escape from the crowd from the side, bypassed the guards of Qi Ketian, and went out of Shuoxi.

Although the queen bee said that they paid attention to the crowd, there were too many people in the city, and with Qi Ketian on the side, it was inconvenient for the virtuous king of Xirong to get a glimpse of the clues, although they wanted to meet Li Luo and a few people again. As everyone knows, he passed by a few people.

When leaving the city, the Xijon guards did not make much trouble and went out of the city. Li Luo and the others turned on their horses and galloped in the direction of Zushan.

By the evening of the second day, the six of them had arrived at the foot of the ancestral mountain, and the sight in front of them, even Hu Chajing, who had always been wild, was speechless.

It's not that the ancestral mountain is extraordinary, the ancestral mountain is not high, far less than the lofty mountains and mountains in Xirong. It is in Dagan, and there are many mountains that are more beautiful and towering than this ancestral mountain.

Although the mountain is pine and cypress, it is lush. The snow is still pleasing to the eye. However, I am accustomed to seeing the famous mountain of Dagan, and there is nothing surprising about the ancestral mountain in front of me, which is the ancestral temple on the top of the mountain. Looming and hiding in the pine and cypress stones. I don't see how majestic it is, and it is not as good as the official mountains along the Suoshui River.

What really surprised a few people was the Xirong people who came to make a pilgrimage around the ancestral mountain, at this time the water around the ancestral mountain had been drained, leaving only a narrow road that could pass through two carriages, and these people were all burning incense and bowing in the direction of the ancestral temple, with a pious face.

Some old people who were over the age of sixteen were lying in the snow, muttering to themselves, praying for the blessing of the ancestral gods. There are also some young children. also followed the elders of the clan to lie in the snow, shivering from the cold. But he didn't mean to get up. There are more young men and women in Xirong, kowtowing and saluting, all of them are meticulous, without the slightest slackness.

The tents of the various families in the camp were uneven, different sizes, and the wealth and poverty were undoubtedly revealed, but no one showed their wealth under this ancestral mountain, and they all bowed quietly to the ancestral temple, without the slightest noise, and even the speech was whispered, lest it disturb the gods on the ancestral mountain.

Li Luo and the others looked at each other in shock, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have expected such a scene in front of them. Li Luo and the others dismounted early, walked slowly to the side, and set up a few tents in an open space.

Xu was touched by these Xirong people, and several people were light when setting up tents, trying not to disturb others. There were a few Xirong people next to him who saw Li Luo and others setting up tents, came over to help, set up the tent, Li Luo thanked them, and several of them smiled and waved their hands, and they didn't say much to turn back.

Shen Xiangdong sighed secretly and said: "It is said that the people of the Xirong tribe are some barbarians outside the Fangfang and have not been civilized, but if you look at the situation today, who can say that they are just barbarians who love to kill." ”

Li Luo looked at the Xirong people in front of him, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, and he said calmly: "When it comes to the hearts of the people, I don't know how many people are willing to win. ”

Ni Qing scratched his head and said, "Then shall we worship?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few people cast surprised eyes and hurriedly shut up.

"Bye," Li Luo said lightly, "Don't talk about right and wrong, if you keep one side peaceful, you deserve our worship." ”

Several people were stunned, Shen Xiangdong looked at Li Luo, silent in thought, Ni Qing smiled, beckoned Zhu Zhi to take the incense and candles he brought when he went out of the city, and learned from the Xirong people, and also worshipped meticulously. The Keku people have always only respected their parents in heaven and earth, and it was inconvenient for Hu Chajing to bow down, and Li Luoshen stood aside with Shen Xiangdong, watching Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi burn incense, Ni Qing had words in his mouth, and he was far away, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

After the two of them finished worshipping, Li Luo also bowed deeply in the direction of the ancestral temple, and Hu Chajing pulled Ni Qing over and asked, "What did you mutter just now?" ”

Li Luo turned his head and glanced at Ni Qing, smiled, Ni Qing was stunned, and said: "My subordinates pray that our shepherd wolf can defeat Xirong's left commanders." ”

Hu Chajing snorted and said, "You let the gods of Xirong bless you, if it is so effective, we should move the ancestral temple to Zhuocheng." ”

Ni Qing looked embarrassed, Shen Xiangdong looked at Li Luo, and felt that Li Luo was unfathomable, just now Ni Qing muttered to himself, Shen Xiangdong was almost the same distance from Ni Qing and Li Luo, but he didn't hear what Ni Qing was talking about.

At this moment, a Xirong tribesman who had just helped Li Luo and the others set up a tent came over, called Chajing to stop talking, and bowed his chin to sign. The Xirong man brought a jar of local liquor from Xirong, handed it to Hu Chajing, and said: "I see that you don't wear much, this Xirong is windy at night, drink some wine to drive away the cold." ”

Hu Chajing thanked him, took the wine jar, and the Xirong man continued: "You can't go to the ancestral mountain at night, you can only wait until the morning of the holy guide in the temple during the day will let go of the mountain road and let us go up the mountain." ”

Hu Chajing frowned and said: "There are so many people, not to mention tens of thousands, this is going up the mountain, and there is no place to stay." ”

The Xijon man smiled bitterly and said, "There are at least more than 100,000 people praying for blessings, and of course not everyone has the opportunity to go up the mountain. After speaking, he looked back at an old woman in the distance behind him, and sighed: "Grandma comes every time she comes to Changning Festival, and every time she fails to get to the ancestral mountain, her body is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that this is the last time Grandma comes to the ancestral mountain, blessed by the gods, I hope that grandma can fulfill her wish." ”

Li Luo and the others turned their heads to look at the rickety figure in the distance, Hu Chajing couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked, "How can I go to the ancestral mountain?" ”

The man replied: "It's going to be lucky, people like you who are not from the Xirong tribe also have the opportunity to go to the ancestral mountain, it depends on who these guides will choose." ”

Li Luo asked: "We are not from the Xirong tribe, can we allow others to worship and pray on the ancestral mountain?" ”

The man smiled: "Many people like you who come to the ancestral mountain have such thoughts, but the ancestral gods are all treated equally, as long as the heart is sincere and kind, the ancestral gods will bless it, no matter where he comes from." ”

Li Luo nodded, did not ask again, the man said a conversation, the people who prayed for blessings got up one after another and went back to their respective tents, some people from poor families simply leaned on the outside of other people's tents, but there were also many people who came to pray for blessings in the tent to avoid the cold, under the ancestral mountain, there was no more disputes.
