Chapter 30: The Interrupted Duel
"Heh, I don't approve it, it's really a mongrel. ”
"It's disgusting to me that this kind of person has called me a brother and sister for so many years. ”
"This is really the biggest scandal in the family! ”
The hall is a church-style building, and although there are no ornate decorations in the building, it gives people a solemn and sacred feeling. Most of the members of the family gathered here at this time, sitting in rows of benches, watching the hall take place a sacred ritual called "Heavenly Choosing." ”
At this time, the hall that should have been solemn was full of whispers. The reason is the kneeling boy in the deepest part of the hall.
The young man knelt on the ground at this time, stretched his hands forward, buried his head deep between his arms, his body trembled slightly, and the handsome face buried between his arms was already flushed red at this time.
An old man sitting on the bench in the third row had a gloomy face that was almost dripping, and whispered to a middle-aged man with a resolute face next to him: "You have raised a good son!" and deliberately accentuated his tone when he said the word "son".
The man sat on a bench with a complicated glint in his eyes. He looked at the child in front of him who became the target of everyone, this was his beloved son, but this situation appeared on this high-profile stage, and the rejection of the ancestors of our clan proved ....... With imagination, the man's eyes became more and more cold.
"Go down, don't waste everyone's time here, no matter how hard you try, the spirits will not approve of an outsider. ”
"It's just that, it's really a bad family style, how could this happen. It's better not to spread it, or we Masonstein really don't know where to put it. ”
"Get out of here!"
The scolding on the bench increased, and the boy's body trembled more and more, and only his pious posture remained the same. How he wished for a miracle to escape from his current predicament.
However, while he was still expecting a miracle to happen, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the scolding disappeared. A pair of large, warm and powerful hands pressed against his shoulders.
"Dirk. Father's voice sounded, and the warmth of these hands calmed the young man's heart, and the trembling of his body became much smaller.
"Get down. Three simple words made the young man's newly warmed heart completely fall into coldness. Did my father give up on himself? Yes, he wasn't approved by any of the ancestors, so it's no wonder that my father thought about it.
The boy named Dirk retracted his outstretched arms, supported the ground, and barely stood up. At only 10 years old, he was limited in height and could only reach his father's waist.
He raised his head and saw his father's cold eyes, as well as the disdainful gaze of the clansmen in the Spirit Channeling Hall. Gritting his teeth, he tried to calm himself down, lowered his head, and walked back to his previous position with difficulty.
When he returned to his position, the partners who were still very warm showed disgust, and many people didn't have to look at him at all, but just glanced at him a few times out of the corner of their eye.
The brothers and sisters who were sitting next to him before also involuntarily moved their bodies to the side, showing expressions of disgust.
Dirk sat in his seat, ignoring the gazes and movements of others, just sitting there with his head down, letting his long hair hang down to block his expression at this time.
Ten years ago, I came to this world from another world when I was 30 years old and died in a car accident. Reborn himself, he retains the memories of his past life and vows to make a difference in this world, but this new world also catches him off guard.
As Dirk Masonstein, he was a member of a noble family of Psilocers, and almost everyone believed that he would be recognized by a powerful ancestral spirit when he was ten years old, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Watson Masonstein, please come forward and accept the approval of the Ancestral Spirits. ”
With the sound, a blonde teenager stepped out of the bench and walked to where Dirk had knelt before. And when he passed by Dirk, his eyes were full of disdain, and he went straight to the depths of the temple. Kneeling on the ground in the middle of the crowd, the standard etiquette is done in one go.
"I, Watson Masonstein, am willing to be examined by the spirits of the ancestors, and I ask them to take care of me. ”
Watson shouted, then buried his head between his arms. After a few breaths, the dome of the Spirit Attraction Hall began to shimmer with colorful charm, and a loud holy song echoed in this huge Spirit Attraction Hall.
As the song was remembered, the halo gradually fell, encircling Watson's body. Immediately after that, a light in the halo gradually became stronger, and it was attached to Watson's body.
At this moment, the holy song was sung, and Watson's body became a little illusory because of the shroud of light.
"One!" a voice broke the silence.
No one blamed the person who made the sound, as everyone's attention was now focused on Watson's head.
A silvery-white six-pointed star appeared above Watson's head, and a six-pointed star here represented that Watson had been recognized by an ancestral spirit who could fight.
"Watson is different, you see, now that a war spirit has recognized him, he can already become a spirit whisperer!" said a young man excitedly.
"It's not over yet, if there is another ...... Look!" said the other teenager, pointing above Watson's head.
At this moment, I saw two silver lines appear next to the six-pointed star again, and the lines moved slowly, gradually outlining another silver six-pointed star.
Just as the second six-pointed star appeared, the light attached to Watson's body began to slowly change shape, and the light and shadow of an old man with white hair appeared behind him.
When the old man appeared, the holy song in the main hall was loud and bright, as if celebrating the arrival of this light and shadow.
An old man sitting in the first row stood up and said loudly to the crowd behind him, "Today we have witnessed a miracle, a Heavenly Spirit Ancestor recognized Watson's arrival on him, and our family is proud of him. ”
Dirk, who was sitting in the corner, clenched his fists at this time, and even though his nails had dug into the flesh, he didn't feel the slightest pain. Why, as a descendant, why don't the spirits of the ancestors respond to my cries, even the lowest level, and the foolish spirits who can't fight can accept me.
The old man who announced it earlier stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Most of the descendants of my clan have their own harvest in today's awakening ceremony, and I hope to continue to work hard in the days to come and win glory for the family." ”
"Tonight is our annual feast, and the heads of each family have made proper arrangements for their clansmen to maintain the order of the dinner. Dory. The old man called out a name.
"In, three sacrifices. The man who had spoken to Dirk's father before agreed.
"You don't have to go to the feast of refuge. With that, the old man had a displeased look on his face and walked straight out of the Spirit Attraction Hall.
The old man named Dolly in the temple stayed there, he never imagined that the result of today's prosperous world would be like this, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Everyone in the hall saw that the three priests had left, and the heads of the families also got up one after another and left the hall with their own people.
Dolly did not leave, and the head of the family, Dolly, looked at his people with a gloomy face, and did not say a word. No one in the family dared to squeak when they saw the appearance of the head of the family.
After half a ring, Dolly said to the man beside him: "I, Dolly Masonstein, have been the head of the family for more than 30 years, and I have never felt so humiliated, I will give you one night, come to me tomorrow morning, and give me an explanation!
Seeing the head of the house leaving, everyone followed the master out of the hall, leaving Dirk and his father Jerry Masonstein alone.
Jerry watched Dirk sit there with his head bowed and didn't say a word, walked quickly to Dirk's side, reached out and grabbed the clothes from his shoulder, and lifted Dirk from his seat.
Jerry is a big man who is close to 1.9 meters tall, and with just one hand, he lifted Dirk, who is only nearly 1.4 meters tall, up.
"Let's go!" Dirk was pulled out of the Spirit Attraction Temple, his mind was blank at this time, he didn't know how he got out, he knew that a powerful hand grabbed him and dragged him along.
After Dirk and his son left the Channeling Hall, the huge hall returned to calm again, and the spirits in the Channeling Hall continued
They sleep until the next time the next generation comes.
