After a while, a group of people came to the front of the village with a handsome old man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle Nine is here, give up your seat to Uncle Nine." The old man who spoke at the beginning called this person Uncle Jiu, and he thought he was not young.
"Nine masters!"
"Grandpa Nine!"
"Hello Patriarch!"
"Hello grandpa!"
Everyone greeted the old man one after another, and it seemed that he was of a very high seniority.
"Hey, who's from outside, let me see." As soon as Uncle Nine sat down, he said urgently.
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Xuanyu got up and said, "Hello this old man, the two of us have strayed into this place, and we hope that the old man will guide us." ”
Uncle Nine is very old, and he is trembling when he speaks, "You two babies are from outside?" ”
"Yes!" Xuanyu said softly.
"How did you get in, we've never had outsiders in this place." Uncle Nine asked.
Xuanyu was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still said truthfully: "We came out of the volcano over there, but we found that this forest seemed to be a formation, and we couldn't find a way out, so we came here by mistake." ”
As soon as Xuanyu's words fell, the group of people exploded and talked about it.
"Huh? That sealed volcano over there? ”
"The legend is true?"
"Isn't there a legend in the village that outsiders will come out of the volcano?"
"Looks like we can get out of this place?"
……
This group of villagers was talking endlessly, all of them were full of excitement, and Xuanyu and Hua Qiangu glanced at each other, both a little puzzled.
Legend?
What legend?
"Quiet! Be quiet! Uncle Nine knocked on the stone table, and everyone gradually shut up.
"Did you really come out of that volcano?" Uncle Nine asked cautiously.
Xuanyu nodded and said softly, "There is a strange passage in that volcano, and we strayed into it to come here. ”
"That's true!" Uncle Nine shook his body and stood up, and said in a condensed voice, "You come with me." ”
A man helped Uncle Nine to walk towards the village, Xuanyu was a little unsure of what he meant, but he still pulled Hua Qiangu to follow. Xuanyu secretly probed just now, and the cultivation of this group of people is generally not high, so Xuanyu is not afraid of any conspiracy.
A large group of people followed behind Uncle Jiu, slowly walking towards the back of the village, the village is not big, there are only one hundred and ten households, and after walking not far Xuanyu saw a building similar to the ancestral hall.
This ancestral hall is not large, it looks extremely old, but it is not damaged, and it is obvious that the people of this village often repair and clean it. Uncle Nine slowly opened the door of the ancestral hall, and the rest of the people stood quietly at the door, and did not follow up, and Xuanyu and the two of them also stood outside the door together when they saw this.
"This is a place in the village to worship ancestors, and usually only the patriarchs of the past generations can enter, and we can only go in and bow down once a year during the big festival." The old man explained.
Xuanyu nodded, raised her eyes and looked inside, Xuanyu felt that there was an extremely familiar aura here, but this aura was erratic, as if it was entangled with something. Xuanyu's heart moved, and a milky white light flashed under his eyes, this "Thousand Star Eyes" was the best way for Xuanyu to survey the mysteries of the formation.
At this time, Xuanyu's eyes were like stars. It is extremely deep, but what is reflected in his eyes is a mist, and he can't see the situation inside clearly, it's just an ancestral hall, and he can't even see through Xuanyu's "Thousand Star Eyes".
It's really not easy here, I'm afraid there are too many secrets hidden. Xuanyu thought secretly.
At this time, Uncle Nine came out with a box, handed the box to the person next to him, turned over and locked the door respectfully.
"Let's go home first, are you both hungry?" Uncle Nine said with a smile: "Fourth baby, you go and tell the women in the family, kill some livestock, make some food, bring the good wine from the family, invite the elders of those families, and come to the old emperor tree together." ”
The middle-aged man named Siwazi was stunned, "Yes, Master Jiu!" ”
Xuanyu and the two followed Uncle Nine in front, and a group of people behind them whispered again.
"Dinner under the old emperor's tree, isn't that the etiquette of the great sacrifice to the ancestors?" A woman said in surprise.
"Who knows, the ninth master is the patriarch, and he will definitely not mess around." A man said.
"This is not a small matter, there are two foreigners, isn't this the right thing to do? The Nine Masters must be treated with caution! ”
"That's it, I don't know what the old ancestor in the back mountain means, but he doesn't believe in that legend."
"Shhhh
……
Xuanyu listened immediately, but the more he listened, the more confused he became, what legends, what ancestors, he felt that this village was definitely not simple, and maybe there was some shocking secret hidden.
"If only Uncle Shi woke up at this time." Xuanyu muttered in her heart, if Jianling awakened, then there would be no secrets to tell in this village, and all this fog would be lifted. But unfortunately, no matter how Xuanyu called for Jianling, Jianling just didn't react at all.
After a while, a group of people arrived under the big tree at the head of the village, and this place was no longer the appearance that Xuanyu had just seen.
I saw eleven round tables under the shade of the big tree, and ten tables outside in a circle, and inside the circle was a slightly larger round table, and these round tables were already a little yellowed, and it seemed that the years were not short.
At this time, there were already many people around here, and when they saw Xuanyu and them coming, these people greeted Uncle Jiu one after another, but their eyes kept looking at Xuanyu and them.
"Hehe, sit down, sit down." Uncle Nine smiled and sat on the main seat of the table in the middle, and nine old men also sat at this table.
"You two babies are sitting here, too." Uncle Nine greeted Xuanyu and the two, and Xuanyu saw that there were indeed two seats at the table.
Even though Xuanyu had many doubts in his heart, he had to suppress it and pull Hua Qiangu to sit opposite Uncle Jiu.
"Sit down." After Xuanyu sat down, Uncle Nine said again, and only then did anyone sit at the ten tables on the periphery. It seems that this village is not big, but the rules and etiquette are very strict.
After everyone was seated, a group of women carried tea and pastries one by one, and Xuanyu glanced at it, only to find that there was only one woman on the table. Except for the ten old men at their table, the others were all sturdy men.
At this time, Uncle Nine picked up a bowl of tea at Xuanyu and the two of them, and said: "Welcome to our old royal village, hehe, the old man's surname is Ren, and Tian is the contemporary patriarch." ”
Xuanyu and the two also picked up the tea bowl in front of them and said, "You're polite." ”
"Hehe, you're welcome." Everyone took a sip of tea, and Old Man Ren said again: "That is the patriarch of the Shen family, that is the patriarch of the Mo family, and that is the patriarch of the Long family......" Old man Ren introduced the remaining nine old men one by one, and the old man who spoke to Xuanyu just now was also among them, his surname was Yao, and he was the patriarch of the Yao family.
Although these ten people are all old men, it is obvious that the old man is the oldest, and his seniority is also higher than the others.
Of course, what surprised Xuanyu the most was the surnames of these people, Ren, Shen, Mo, Yao, Gui, Long, Jiang, Wu, Huang, Luo, these ten surnames, if you meet a few separately, Xuanyu doesn't feel anything strange, even if you meet these ten surnames outside Xuanyu won't feel anything, but here, Xuanyu always vaguely feels that something is wrong. He always felt that there was a hint of something he was very familiar with, but he just couldn't grasp it.
"Ren, Shen, Mo, Yao, Gui......" Xuanyu repeated in his heart, and then he was suddenly startled, he finally remembered what that familiar aura was, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt unlikely, how could they be together......
But if Xuanyu's guess is not wrong, then there is definitely a secret here that shocks the heavens!
"This trace of aura is ethereal, it is already extremely weak, could it be left by other strong people?" Xuanyu thought secretly in his heart, looking at the ten harmonious old men in front of him, he couldn't accept his absurd guess, in Xuanyu's consciousness, this possibility could not exist at all.
At this time, Old Man Ren said again.
Suppressing all kinds of speculations in his heart, Xuanyu quietly listened to Old Man Ren's narration.
