Chapter 17: The Ancestral Temple Shakes
Xiang Fu Shang!
Qi Guanzheng was ignorant, and gradually understood what Qi Guanchi had done.
Qi Guanzheng couldn't believe that his little daughter, whose eyes were above the top, hadn't been extremely resistant to Kong Qiu before? Why, how did you do such an offensive thing?
Could it be sorcery?
Thinking of what kind of magic Kong Qiu used to confuse his daughter, Qi Guanzheng's eyes were annoyed, but the next moment, seeing Xiang Xu constantly praising himself, thinking that it was his own plan, he praised it very much, and immediately made Qi Guanzheng's mind hot.
Black art?
Witchcraft is witchcraft, anyway, the youngest daughter has to marry Kongqiu, so it's best.
"Hahahaha, everything under my subordinates is cultivated from the doctor, and you should not praise the doctor!" Qi Guanzheng suddenly laughed.
Obviously, the credit for this is to be taken first.
"It should be, it's just, next, I hope you can implement everything before worshipping your ancestors, and make sure that Kong Qiu stays in the Song Kingdom!" Xiang Xu looked solemnly at Qi Guanzheng.
"Ancestor worship? Now there are five days left before the ancestor worship, only five days ......? Qi Guanzheng's face changed.
"Yes, I have set a restriction to prevent Kong Qiu from worshipping his ancestors, but if Kong Qiu fails to worship his ancestors, he will definitely have resentment, so this time, you must get things done, your little daughter has been favored by Kong Qiu, the big wedding is coming, leave Kong Qiu with the big wedding, leave Kong Qiu with marriage!" Xiang Xu said in a deep voice.
"So, what if you can't stay?" Qi Guan was worried.
Qi Guan knew his own affairs, and he hadn't figured out the situation yet, so how could he pack a ticket and let Kong Qiu stay?
"Then Kong Qiu is not allowed to participate in ancestor worship!" Xiang Xu shook his head and said resolutely.
"Report, the master is not good, it is not good!" A butler suddenly ran over.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Xu's face was cold.
Don't you see yourself entertaining? Why is this old butler so unruly today?
"Master, Kong Qiu, Kong Qiu has arrested and detained all the noble sons!" The butler said anxiously.
"What did you say?" Xiang Xu was a little confused.
"The street of Confucius's Mansion has been surrounded by water, and Kong Qiu detained all the nobles, including the young master, including the prince, and walked all the way to the ancestral temple! Now, many people are following, and all the families in the city are sending a large number of soldiers to go, and this is going to be a big deal! The butler said anxiously.
"Say it again, where did Kongqiu go?" Xiang Xu glared.
"Ancestral Temple! My Song Guozi's surname is Zumiao! The butler said.
"Huh? Doctor Xiang did not allow Confucius to worship his ancestors, he held his descendants hostage and went to forcibly worship his ancestors? This, this won't be, right? Qi Guanzheng said in astonishment.
Xiang Xu's face was serious for a while: "Ancestral Temple, for the foundation of my Song Kingdom, how can it be said that sacrifices can be sacrificed?" Kongqiu, forcibly worship ancestors? No way! ”
"But ......!"
"Trespassing on the ancestral temple, this is a great crime against the country, prepare a car, and go to the ancestral temple immediately!" Xiang Xu said coldly.
"Yes!" The housekeeper immediately arranged it.
As Xiang Xu said, the ancestral temple is the spiritual place of a country, such as the ancestral hall of the future family, such as the imperial tomb of the future royal family, who dares to have the slightest offense, it is a great crime of the country.
Between the countries of the world, no war dares to touch each other's ancestral temples, because the ancestral temples are the dragon's scales. Whoever dares to offend is not to die!
Now, Kong Qiu escorted a large number of family children and grandchildren to the ancestral temple?
For a while, the major officials and masters of the city put down everything they were doing and went towards the ancestral temple angrily.
"What does he want to do? Ancestor worship? Licentious! Countless officials rushed away angrily.
---------------
The ancestral temple of the Song Kingdom, located in the center of Shangqiu.
In the center of Shangqiu, this is not even the palace, which shows that the Song people attach great importance to the ancestral temple.
The Song Kingdom is a descendant of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, and has a natural pride, and all the descendants of the surname regard this place as a holy place, which cannot be trampled on by anyone.
Once a year, people who can participate in the ancestor worship feel very honored, because many descendants of the descendants of the people in all countries in the world will come back all the way as long as they get the permission of the ancestors.
Kong Qiu took the students and escorted a group of noble sons to the land of the ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple in front of you is like a hill platform.
On the platform, there is a large hall, a majestic hall, and in the hall, countless spiritual positions are placed one after another. On the top of the spiritual seats, the name of each ancestor is naturally written, and even his life deeds are written below.
This is the ancestral temple of the Song Kingdom. The spiritual position in the ancestral temple is worshiped by generations of descendants and grandchildren. It never stops.
Under the power of incense and faith for generations, a white cloud seems to be formed in the sky above the ancestral temple, and in the white clouds, there is a vague appearance of the ancestors.
These are all forms of faith formed by the power of faith, allowing the heroic spirits of the ancestors to occasionally reside. He who enjoys the offerings of the generations to come.
Of course, if there are great supernatural powers among the ancestors, they can still feel how the future generations will survive through these bodies of faith, and if the descendants are in trouble, the ancestors with great supernatural powers can also give blessings.
Outside the main hall of the ancestral temple, at this moment, there are statues erected one after another.
The sculptures, each three feet high, looked like giants erected on the square.
Only the Song people know how noble these sculptures are, and the big sculpture headed by it is Shang Tang, the statue of the founding of the Shang Dynasty in the past.
Shang Tang is followed by a sculpture of the emperors of the Shang Dynasty, standing around the ancestral temple, and being worshiped by generations of children.
The kings of the Shang Dynasty are the pride of the Song people. The statues of the kings of the Shang Dynasty were worshiped the most by incense, and the power of faith around them seemed to form bursts of white light, and the statues of the kings shrouded were hazy and sacred.
Around the ancestral temple, there are a large number of guards guarding, this is the important place of the Song Kingdom, and no one can come here to be presumptuous.
Kong Qiu went all the way, although there were a large number of soldiers to stop him, but the noble sons of the heads of the soldiers' families were detained, and the soldiers did not dare to stop them too much.
However, the land of the ancestral temple is different.
"Stop! Closer to the ancestral temple, there is no forgiveness for killing! An official rushed to the scene and shouted angrily.
"Dasicheng, save me!" Childe Zuo suddenly said with ecstasy on his face.
You must know that Gongzi Zuo is the prince, when did he suffer such a catastrophe, and how many people were waiting for him to save him along the way, but he was all waste. Don't dare to stop Kongqiu. Are you crazy? Didn't see me caught?
Now, finally there is one who dares to stop it?
The official's obstruction made Kong Qiu's face sink: "Who are you?" ”
"Song Guo, Dasicheng, happy! Kong Qiu, I know that now the doctor and the adults are tolerant of you, but tolerance is not your presumptuous capital, this is the ancestral temple of the Song Kingdom, for my Song Guozu land, you dare to take a step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless, archer! Lexi shouted angrily.
"Drink!" Countless soldiers immediately drew their bows and wound them. One by one, they stared at Kongqiu.
Kong Qiu stared at Le Xi and showed a light smile: "Before I came to the Song Dynasty, I heard that the Song Kingdom was loyal to the king and loved the people, and he was upright, which was really unusual!" ”
"Hmph, quit the ancestral temple! Right away! Lexi looked at Kong Qiu coldly.
A group of students wanted to step forward, but they were stopped by Kongqiu. Kong Qiu glanced at Le Xi coldly: "Although you are loyal to the king and love the people, you are also a fool after all!" ”
"What did you say?" Lexi's eyes widened.
Kong Qiu glanced in the direction of the ancestral temple, and when he saw the statues of the emperors of the Shang Dynasty, he showed a chuckle.
"In front of the ancestral temple, facing the ancestors, with contempt on his face, Kong Qiu, just with your attitude of disrespecting the ancestors, I can correct you on the spot!" Lexi glared and shouted.
"I'm just laughing, how can you tell I'm contemptuous?" Kong Qiu said lightly.
"I look at you, you just don't respect the ancestors, and the ancestors will definitely blame you!" Lexi glared.
"The surname of the child is Leshi, Lexi, you can have this heart of respect for your ancestors, it is quite rare! However, there are some things that you don't know, so don't talk nonsense! Kong Qiu said coldly.
"What's the nonsense? There are five days left, which is the ancestor worship ceremony, Kongqiu, don't think I don't know your thoughts, you detain a group of noble sons, just want to break into the ancestral temple and worship the ancestors? Heh, hahahaha, you can worship like this, so what do you want to sacrifice to the ceremony? If you neglect your ancestors like this, you should be killed! Lexi shouted coldly.
"How do you know that I'm snubbing the ancestors?" Kong Qiu said lightly.
"Isn't it? Hmph, the ancestors are ashamed to have descendants like you! Kongqiu, you don't deserve the surname! Lexi said coldly.
"I am very pleased that you can respect your ancestors, but, you say snubbing? That's wrong, you say that the ancestors are ashamed because of me, that's also wrong! Kongqiu shook his head.
"Heh, what's the use of quibbling? So many pairs of eyes watching! Lexi sneered.
"You stopped me because you think I neglected the ancestors, if I can prove that I did not neglect the ancestors, what do you say?" Kong Qiu looked at Lexi.
"Proof? How to prove it, ridiculous, if you can prove it, I'll let you in now, if you can't ......! Lexi said coldly.
"If you can't, let it be disposed of!" Kong Qiu said coldly.
"Teacher!" The students said anxiously, how can this be proven.
"Hahaha, okay, then you prove it!" Lexi showed a look of disbelief.
Kong Qiu looked at the ancestral hall not far away and looked at the statue of the king of the Shang Dynasty on the square.
Slowly, Kong Qiu held his hands together and respectfully performed a salute.
With this salute, Kong Qiu released a soul breath, which emanated with the qi of the Great Dao.
And who is Kong Qiu, and what is the relationship between that soul breath and the Song Kingdom?
I saw that the soul breath was touching the power of faith in the four directions of the ancestral temple. When touching the power of faith of Shang Tang and others, the statue of Shang Tang trembled, and the statue of the king of the Shang Dynasty trembled.
In this world, in some hidden corner, in a great hall. At the moment, a group of people were sitting cross-legged.
Suddenly, one of them jerked to his feet.
"Yes, uncle?" The man was shocked.
The people who were in retreat and cultivating beside them all trembled and stood up one by one.
"It's uncle, uncle's soul mark, that's right, it's uncle!" A group of people said excitedly.
Following the power of faith, the consciousness of a group of people rushed straight away in an instant.
And at the mouth of the ancestral temple of the Song Kingdom.
Le Xi looked at Kong Qiu with a mocking face, hundreds of people and soldiers looked at Kong Qiu with a blank face, Xiang Xu, who came in a hurry, and other officials also looked at Kong Qiu with a puzzled face at this moment.
looked at Kong Qiu and solemnly bowed to the land of the ancestral temple.
What does this worship mean?
Just as Lexi was about to taunt Kongqiu.
"Buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, in the ancestral temple, countless spiritual positions trembled.
"The Ancestor has appeared!"
"The ancestor's spiritual position trembled, Kongqiu, what did you do?" Lexi exclaimed.
There have been in the past, but it's just a certain spiritual position, as if it wants to express something, but how can all the spiritual positions tremble now.
Not only did the spiritual position in the ancestral temple tremble, but in the sky, some of the ancestors' faith bodies condensed by the power of faith actually strangely all learned from Kong Qiu and bowed slightly to Kong Qiu.
Kongqiu's salute is a salute, the etiquette of the ancestors, called a return salute!
It's as if the younger generation salutes the elders, and the elders attach great importance to the younger generations, recognize them incomparably, and give them a return gift.
The ancestor has appeared, not one ancestor has appeared, is it all the ancestors in the ancestral temple?
rushed to return the salute to Kongqiu, this shocking scene made everyone in the Quartet stupid.
"Ancestors! How is this possible! Lexi exclaimed.
"Daxian? Is this the recognition of the ancestors for the great sages? Is that an exaggeration? An official exclaimed.
In the midst of the inconceivability of hundreds of people.
All the sculptures of the kings of the Shang Dynasty, led by the Shang Tang sculpture, suddenly let out bursts of roaring sounds.
"Emperor Shang Tang!" Lexi exclaimed.
"How, how is it possible, not only the ancestors have appeared, but the Emperor Shangtang has also appeared? Didn't Emperor Shang Tang never care about his descendants of mortals? Xiang Xu, who came in a hurry, was also shocked.
But I saw that all the sculptures trembled slightly, as if they were moving in the direction, and after moving, along with the Shang Tang statue, facing Kongqiu, all the statues suddenly bent strangely in the white light.
Facing Kongqiu, all the sculptures held up their hands and solemnly replied to Kongqiu.
Shang Tang, return the gift to Kongqiu?
"Ancestor!" Hundreds of people and officials immediately called the name of their ancestors and knelt down.
Confucius saluted, and the ancestral temple shook.
