Things have to start a few months ago, Yan Xing set off from Lintao, took two servants, concealed his identity, went down the Taoshui, entered Jincheng from Longxi, and rushed to Yunwu's territory.

In the shrine outside the city

The communist, the land also. Since ancient times, there are people who have a country and a family, all of them have built temples and established shrines, the original land god and the god of grain, the god of grains, in the early days of the Chinese nation based on agriculture, are the most important primitive worship gods.

Every time the earth warms up in spring, the people within a radius of several miles in this vicinity will raise their clans and families to go here to perform shrine sacrifices, in order to pray for the blessing of the shrine gods throughout the year, and each family can harvest more grain in this land that is not fat.

And the gods of the community in various places are also different because of the different regional customs, "Huainanzi Pan Commentary" cloud: "Yu worked the world and died for the society." "It is believed that Dayu is the world's water control and diversion, covering the world, and incarnated as a shrine god after death.

Cai Yong's "Dictatorship" of the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "The god of the society, the son of the Gonggong clan, Julong, can level the water and soil, and the world of the emperor is thought to be the earth, and the world depends on its merits, and the Yao Temple is the society...... Ji Shen, the son of the Gaili Mountain clan, the pillar can breed a hundred grains, the world of the emperor, think that Tian Zheng, the world depends on its merits. Zhou abandoned and sowed a hundred grains. "It is believed that the god of the shrine is the son of the Gonggong clan, Julong, and the son of the Gaili Mountain clan, Zhu, together with the two gods of the shrine.

In addition, there are other areas of the Houtu Shrine, which is also a shrine shrine. In the shrine in the Longyou area, because of "Yu Xing in Xiqiang", the shrine is mostly related to the statue of Yu in the right place.

At this time, there was chaos in various parts of Liangzhou, and the people fled. Nowadays, it is not before and after the spring shrine, so no one cares about the shrine shrine seems to be a little dilapidated and depressed, and there are many places outside the shrine that have begun to grow weeds, and from time to time there are crickets, grasshoppers and other grass insects shuttling between them.

The main hall of the ancestral hall, located on the throne of the god of Dayu stone statue wearing a hat, wearing a short coat, the left hand holding the plow, the right hand waving, the sleeves of the robe bulging with the wind, the eyes are blazing, the spirit is flying, reproduces the majestic posture of summoning thousands of troops and horses to fight with the flood in those years.

The statue seat is made of coarse granite, and the image of the god is simple and solemn, just like the folk customs of the right place of Longyou.

At this time, there were two more people behind the statue, one was Yan Xing who came from Lintao, and the other was Yan Zhong who slipped out of Yanjiawu Fort.

Yan Zhong was in his thirties, his face was wrinkled and sallow, but his eyes were bright and shiny, and with his slightly depressed appearance, he suddenly gave people the feeling of a thief's eyebrows.

Yan Xing saw Yan Zhong looking around with some concern, and he didn't know what he was looking for, he frowned, but he didn't speak.

Yan Zhong is also a member of the Yan family, but among the clan, there are rich and poor, there are blood relatives in the main house, and there are also estranged side branches. Yan Zhong is a down-and-out member of the Yan family, he used to be a small minion attached to Yan Li's side, but he was rebelled by Yan Xing and others because of his greed for money, and became a dark son by Yan Li's side.

Back then, Yan Xing led people to successfully seize Yan Li's handle, and he got some information from Yan Zhong beforehand. At present, Yan Xing returned to Yunwu in Liangzhou and acted secretly according to Yan Xing's orders, so he did not go directly to the Yan family's dock fort as before, but first lurked near the Yan family's dock fort, preparing to find an opportunity to sneak into the dock fort and meet Yan's father secretly.

However, after arriving near Yanjiawu Fort, Yan Xing soon learned a shocking news from some tenants, it seems that a month ago, the head of the Yan family has been replaced, the previous head of the family is seriously ill and retired, and the new head of the family and the patriarch of the clan is Yan Li, who has not appeared for a long time.

Yan Xing was silent, secretly frightened, he hurriedly secretly collected information about the changes in the Yan family in the past few months, and then he quickly found Yan Zhong, a secret son who was ambushed by Yan Li's side.

"Ah Xing, why is it only you, what about the others, I heard that the coalition army of the Eastern Expedition was defeated by the Han army in Chencang, killing and wounding countless people, and it is rumored that the people brought by Shaojun have all been wiped out in the chaos army, and the families who sent Ding Zhuang in the clan have been crying and mourning for many months!"

Yan Zhong was also shocked when he saw Yan Xing, one of the rumored dead people, suddenly appear in front of him, but he immediately changed to a friendly greeting on his face, and while looking around, he eagerly asked Yan Xing about the whereabouts of the Yan family.

When Yan Xing saw Yan Zhong's expression, he couldn't help but feel a little more vigilant in his heart, he just nodded lightly and said quietly:

"Although the troops of the Eastern Expedition with the army lost some men and horses, everything was generally fine, but it was only because of the war in Liangzhou and the road was not quiet, so the men and horses led by Shaojun delayed the trip and did not return in time. Uh-huh, is everything okay in the clan? ”

"Fortunately, although the clan heard that the coalition army was defeated, and many people died in the families that sent the troops, and the family members who lost Ding Zhuang naturally grieved, but where are not the dead people in this year, and the head of the clan has also allocated money and food to help the orphans and widows, everything is fine!"

Speaking of this, Yan Zhong suddenly retracted, approached Yan Xing's side, looked around mysteriously, a pair of thief's bright eyes stared at Yan Xing tightly, his tone was a little colder, and he said quickly:

"Ah Xing, you and I have known each other since childhood, and you are a brother who is a fool of how old you are, you don't want to trick me in front of the shrine god, in the end, are all the parts you brought are dead, but I heard that the Zhao family who sent troops together was wiped out, and even the eldest grandson was not spared, there are a lot of rumors in Yunwu City these days, you tell the truth, did you run for your life and come back, Shaojun?"

Looking at Yan Zhong's sallow and wrinkled face that suddenly approached, the short dagger that Yan Xing hid in his sleeve also clenched instantly, he subconsciously took a step back without a trace, turned sideways, and said with a smile on his face:

"Brother Zhong, don't be funny, how could the younger brother deliberately deceive his brother? Shaojun and the others are all right, but, what you just said, everything is fine in the clan, it doesn't seem quite right, I heard that the person who is in charge of the clan right now is our third uncle! ”

Saying this, Yan Xing's eyes were also fixed on the changes in the demeanor on Yan Zhong's face, and his sharp eyes scanned back and forth on Yan Zhong's face like a knife.

Yan Zhong also seemed to sense the hostility in Yan Xing's eyes, he snorted, smiled awkwardly, and involuntarily took a few steps back, he glanced at Yan Xing, thought about it again, and then said slowly:

"Ah Xing, don't be nervous, I have no malice, I just care about the safety of my family, you don't know how ridiculous the news of the defeat of the coalition army was a few days ago, everyone is panicked, it is said that even the generals of the United Nations died at the hands of their own people!"

Speaking of the United General Kingdom dying at the hands of his own people, Yan Zhong also quickly glanced at Yan Xing's face and found that the other party had not relaxed his vigilance at all, so he had no choice but to sigh and continue:

"Indeed, as you said, the one who is in charge of the clan right now is indeed the third uncle Yan Li in our clan!"
