The ancestral hall in the center of the village may have not been ventilated for a long time, and the air inside has a stale smell. Lu Zhe waited outside the door for a while, and waited until the smell dissipated a little, then went in and began to carefully sweep the ground with a broom.

The inside of the ancestral hall is very clean, probably because few people go in, there is basically no dust, but Lu Zhe still cleaned the ancestral hall seriously, and wiped the stone tablet engraved with the two big characters of heaven and earth with a linen cloth.

The tablets on both sides, Lu Zhe didn't move, who knows what taboos there are, what if he moves, what if he is really blamed by a certain ancestor.

In a black rumbling stone room, there were many tablets on both sides, and Lu Zhe began to feel a little chill on the back of his neck.

Although he is also a good young man who is deeply educated in materialism and adheres to atheism, he can encounter this kind of thing by himself, so what else is impossible?

Lu Zhe, who had finished cleaning, looked at the tablets on both sides with interest. Constant screaming.

The source of the screams came from these tablets, which were the ancestors of the various families in the village, and their names were written on the tablets. In the northwest of the ancestral hall, Lu Zhe even saw the tablet of his parents, and it could be seen that it had just been carved, and the wood had not yet completely dried.

Looking at the spiritual position of Lu Fa, the Sect Master of the Hundred Flowers of the Ancestors, Lu Zhe's body naturally gushed out with sadness, which was an impulse from blood, Lu Zhe knelt down in front of his parents' tablet, and kowtowed three times respectfully, then stood up and walked to other places.

While walking and watching, Lu Zhe was amazed.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the Deng family turned out to be descendants of famous families? But Elder Deng couldn't see it. Lu Zhe thought with some curiosity.

The famous family is one of the larger schools of thought, the most famous of which is the Gongsun Long who proposed "white horses are not horses", and there is also a bull who debates with Zhuangzi, called Hui Shi. Famous people are debaters, and any one of them belongs to the king of the mouth.

The ghost elder who made him most curious came from a place called the Ghost Gate. Although he didn't know what this mountain gate was, when he saw the ghostly ghost word on the tablet of the ancestor of the ghost family, Lu Zhe hurriedly jumped to the next one.

What surprised him even more was Elder Ming, the tablet of his ancestors said Yin Yang Sect. There is also the Shadow Family, who is also a descendant of a man called Shadow Mountain.

What surprised him the most was the Liu family, that is, the plasterer Liu Chang, whose family turned out to be a descendant of a man named Xihuangmen.

Ghost Gate, Gong Loser, Phantom Mountain, Yin Yang Sect, Xihuang Gate, plus Zhurong Gate of the Tiesan Family, Lu Zhe was amazed while watching.

"Did I travel to the world of cultivation?" Looking at the names with such a strong Xianxia atmosphere, Lu Zhe not only began to doubt his life, but also thought that he was quite a master of the world, but he didn't expect that compared with these big guys, he was simply a passerby-like character.

And the ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Sect is just a person named Lu San, I heard his parents say that his ancestors are just a florist from a certain Guannehou during the period of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, compared to the characters whose ancestors of these big guys can trace back to ancient times at every turn, Lu Zhe simply doubts whether he is the protagonist after crossing over?

It's impossible to be the protagonist, it's impossible in this life, the big guy of the mountain gate, all have their own characteristics, and the name is also very cool, what is not to blame, the three brothers of the crane, snake and heron and the surname of the ghost and the surname Ming, at first glance, the fairy spirit is fluttering, noble and cold, even the hot pot is rolling, there is a name of the descendant of the ancient demon god mount, the origin is more scary than the other, living here, it seems that the origin of any person in the village can hang his identity as a traverser.

Lu Zhe couldn't help but complain fiercely in his head. With a wry smile, he walked out of the stone house.

At this time, it was already afternoon, in winter, it was dark early, and the time to worship the ancestors was at dusk, at the moment when the sun and the moon were shining, so at this time, there were already villagers coming here in twos and threes.

The clearing has long been cleaned, in the center of the clearing, a huge pyre of one person has been piled up, needless to say, it must be the craftsmanship of Zhurongmen Tiesan, who is proficient in fire control, a huge drum has also been moved to the clearing, a heavy wooden offering table, it looks like it has been some years, but I don't know what material, carried to the stone house by the two sons of the two elders, Ghost Wuzhi and Deng Zhu, and put it in front of the big stone tablet of heaven and earth.

On the black offering table, there were all sorts of things, including millet and soybeans, tofu and bean sprouts, fresh venison and a few freshly killed pheasants.

By the time everything was ready, the people of the village had almost arrived.

Knock Knock - A dull voice sounded, announcing the beginning of this ancestor worship. The three elders tidied up their clothes and walked slowly into the ancestral hall with a rhythmic pace that looked like they were dancing.

When the elders began to enter the ancestral hall, all the people in the village, men in front, women and little girls in the back, stood respectfully in the open space outside the house.

Before, Lu Zhe thought it was a drum, but when he saw Liu Chang slapping the "drum" with his hand, Lu Zhe, who had seen the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympics, reacted.

The three elders are all in dangerous crown linen clothes on weekdays, dressed in an ancient hidden world, and today they are high-crowned and broad-banded, wide robes and large sleeves, and with a very simple Jinxian crown, walking, their clothes are fluttering, their expressions are solemn, and they walk slowly, as if they are characters who came out of the ancient bamboo slips.

Knock-knock-knock-bang, Liu Chang's sound changed again, and the three elders stepped on the sound of the rope, and when the last sound fell, the three elders stopped in front of the Heaven and Earth Monument, as if they had rehearsed it countless times in advance.

At this time, inside and outside the ancestral hall, everything was quiet, only the sound of breathing could be heard, and a nameless thing flowed among the people, solemn, even the most noisy children, at this moment, their mouths were tightly closed, and they did not dare to make a sound.

As the chief elder of the village, Elder Ming, who was standing in the middle, spoke an ancient Luoyang dialect and began to recite the sacrificial text.

"On the 30th day of the 12th month of the 38th year of the Great Cause, the descendants of the mountain gate sued the sages of heaven and earth and our mountain gate with vegetables, vegetables and meat. Our mountain gate, out of the spring and autumn period, Mengtian does not give up, fortunately survived, educate the world, the great cause of eight years, the world is in chaos, all the heroes compete for hegemony, our mountain gate, for the sword soldiers, live together, all the doors side by side, more than the same sect. The legacy of the ancients, don't dare to forget. Hundreds of schools of thought contend, brilliant general trend. With the blessing of the ancestors of heaven and earth, when we are this year, we have enough food and clothing, the old and the young are raised, the young and strong have nothing to lose, the hall of innovation, the old springs and swamps, and the fire kang is a thing, and we will never be affected by the cold ......"

Lu Zhe was still listening attentively before, but when he heard the fire kang, he finally understood what was going on with this ancestor worship, the so-called sacrifice to the heavens, that is, at this time of year, the elders reported to the heavens and the ancestors, including how the harvest in the village this year, the increase and decrease of the population, and what did his village do, the fire kang, tofu, stone mill, and wheelbarrow were all mentioned, and even the rolling had a sentence, the fairy beast had a spirit, and then returned to the mountain gate.

Co-authoring is an article that puts gold on the faces of oneself and one's ancestors, just like the ancient version of the report made by the leader at the annual meeting of later generations.

The content of the sacrificial text is nothing more than how great the ancestors are, and they can survive in troubled times under the teachings of the ancestors, and this year is still good, all of which are the credit of the ancestors and the blessing of heaven and earth, and we have only done some small work Balabala.

Elder Ming's thick Luoyang Yayin, every word was pronounced like a song, not only dragged on for an extremely long time, but after some words ended, Elder Ghost and Elder Deng had to echo and repeat it, chanting loudly. Lu Zhe didn't understand this kind of sacrificial text with three sighs, and he didn't dare to move when he stood there, he was bored, so he could only go through the story of Yu Qian's father over and over again in his mind.

Just as he had just finished recalling a paragraph, and was recalling the part of Yu Qian's father who was a martial artist and laughed proudly in the rivers and lakes, this extremely ancient sacrificial text was finally finished.

"....... rest of my life, I would like to trust you. Today's structure is completed, the rest of the square begins, with clean respect, recommended fragrant. Don't dare to flatter the sky, don't dare to bless, but make the plague not do, the charm is not met, the beasts and poisonous insects, each has its own place. The tranquility of Gou people's dwellings is the god of heaven and earth, and the sage of our mountain gate. Fasting is sincere, and there are few answers. Feasting.

"Shang-feast!" As Elder Ming's last two words spit out, Elder Deng and Elder Ghost also raised their voices and shouted together.

"Bye-" With the ghost elder's bow, the three elders bowed deeply.

"Shang-feast!" The people outside the ancestral hall also shouted loudly, and in the open space outside the ancestral hall, they also bowed down one after another.

"Xing—" Elder Deng's voice sounded, and the three elders got up, and the people outside the house also got up.

"Bye-" Elder Ghost's voice rang out again, and everyone bowed down again......

After worshipping three times in total, after getting up, a solemn and solemn mood spread in the hearts of everyone, and many people had tears in their eyes and called the ancestors softly, but they did not dare to cry.

Therefore, there are old clouds, and when they worship the sky, they cry, and this year will cry from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Bang bang bang - the bright thump sounded again,

"Light the fire and sacrifice to the sky!" Following Elder Ming's order, Tie San carefully stuffed the torch into the Chai Mountain, this direction was calculated by him a long time ago, which could make the fire burn quickly, otherwise, in an instant, the huge fire was blazing.

At this time, the three elders had already walked out of the ancestral hall, and the crowd automatically separated into a road, they still used that kind of footwork like a big god, slowly approaching the fire, Elder Ghost and Elder Deng each carried a plate of grain, and kept throwing the grain into the surrounding crowd, the grain that sacrificed to the sky is said to be able to drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings, so that people are free from disasters and diseases, so everyone rushed forward to stand forward, wanting to be hit by the grain in the elder's hand.

The three elders walked over to the huge fire and stood still, and the sound of the slap changed again, becoming short, crisp and crisp.

"I hope that the people of the mountain gate will have enough food and clothing in the coming year." Elder Ming shouted loudly, and the two elders kept throwing the grain into the fire.

"I hope that the people of the mountain gate will have enough food and clothing in the coming year." The crowd roared. Liu Chang's voice became bright and rapid at this time.

"I hope that the people of the mountain gate will have no disasters and no diseases in the coming year." The crowd yelled again, and the reels grew faster and faster.

Rice and soybeans were thrown into the fire, beeping and beeping, and the burnt aroma of the cereals began to diffuse into the air.

"Three wishes that I will wait for the mountain gate to prosper and return to the world!"

"Three wishes that I will wait for the mountain gate to prosper and return to the world!" Everyone yelled together again. The emotions of everyone present reached their highest point.

Bang bang bang - Liu Chang's sound of striking was getting faster and louder, and he saw Liu Chang over there, his hands flying up and down, and under the light of the raging fire, Lu Zhe could only even see the phantom of his hands.

At this moment, the emotions of everyone present reached the highest point, as the millet and soybeans were burned, the three wishes that Elder Ming prayed for were shouted by the villagers over and over again, and Liu Chang, who was beating the reins, also changed the rhythm of the reels with the roars of the people.

As the grains in the elder's hands were burned out, under the guidance of Tetsusan, everyone threw the bamboo that had been specially cut before into the fire, and after a while, the bamboo tube burst open due to the heat and began to crackle in the fire. People gathered around the huge fire and prayed silently in their hearts, praying that their ancestors would bless them.

The firecrackers burned out, and the men in the village began to divide the sacrificial meat, and each family received at least one catty of venison and two catties of tofu, half a catty of bean sprouts, and three pheasants were distributed to the three elders, and the long, beautiful pheasant feathers were given to Lu Zhe by the three elders in the eyes of everyone as expected.

"The chicken has five virtues: the first to wear a crown, Wen also; Foot beat, Wu also; The enemy dares to fight, and he is brave; Seeing food and calling each other, benevolence is also; The vigil is not lost, and the letter is also. Lu boy, you have adventures, make strange things, know thaumaturgy, get spirit beasts, don't be conceited, give you pheasant feathers today, you can know what we mean? "It's still the familiar ancient Luoyang Yayin, Elder Ming asked Lu Zhe.

"The elders love and care for the meaning of the value, Zhe already knows everything, Zhe must be conscientious in the coming year, guard against arrogance and rashness, under the teachings of the elders, for our mountain foundation, do their meager efforts......." Looking at the jealous eyes of the forest dog combination, and the women looked at him like someone else's child, Lu Zhe didn't know that this brocade feather was a kind of commendation and recognition, so he first praised the correct leadership of the elders according to the style of the award speech of later generations, and then said that although he had some achievements, he had not done enough, I will work hard next year, please ask the elders to mention more, and finally show their loyalty, saying that please rest assured that Xiaolu will be used as a brick in the mountain gate, and it will be moved at will. It's okay to call it casually. ”

"Very good, very good." Hearing Lu Zhe's words, Elder Ming stroked his beard, and a wrinkled smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"This kid is cunning. It's like a famous person. Elder Deng waved his sleeves and smiled.

"Hmph, at a young age, I have nine thoughts in my belly, and I am hateful." The ghost elder's face changed, he put one hand on Lu Zhe's shoulder, patted it gently, and didn't know what technique he used, Lu Zhe only felt that his whole body was sore and numb, and it was so uncomfortable that he bared his teeth and looked weird.

Hahahaha, seeing Lu Zhe's appearance, everyone present laughed, and the forest dog group laughed the loudest.

"The ancients celebrated the New Year, and it was still quite lively." After a long time, the sour numbness disappeared, Lu Zhe held the tofu, bean sprouts and venison from the village in one hand, and his sister in the other, humming the background music of the Spring Festival Gala in the future, and walked towards his house.

I don't know why, when he saw the crescent moon, tears flowed uncontrollably.
