(48) Ancestral hall
"You're a foreigner! We're here in Hongjing Town, the border of Xuanyuan Kingdom. What are you going to do in the Medicine Clan?
"I •••••• I'm going to find my mother and sister, auntie, tell me quickly, how to go, I'm not afraid of going far. ”
Listening to Xuanyuan Xing's answer, the woman concluded that the young man in front of her must have been separated from his relatives.
She couldn't help but sigh deeply!
"Child, going to the medicine clan is not as simple as you think, tens of thousands of miles!
We also have people here who go to the medicine clan to do business, and they drive and go back and forth for almost a year;
You're a little kid, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. ”
"As long as there is a road, you can go, no matter a year, two years!
Auntie, just tell me how to go!"
"Kid ••••••"
The woman felt some kind of power in Xuanyuanxing's eyes.
For some reason, she began to believe what the immature teenager in front of her said.
"If it was before, from our Hongjing Town, walk dozens of miles to the south, and you can reach the country of Chiyan;
Then, through the country of Chiyan, you can go to the medicine clan, which is also. The most time-saving distance;
However, now the Chiyan border passes are all closed, and from this land route, I am afraid it will not work;
If you want to go, you can only go by water. ”
"How do you go by water?"
Regulus was very eager.
"Then we must first go to Yuanzong, thousands of miles to the west, and find out the ships of the sea in the port over there;
However, according to the mayor, in recent years, the sea has not been very peaceful;
There are often pirates who rob merchant ships, kid, you're too ••••••"
"Qiang Qiang ••••••"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of gongs sounded on the other side of the street.
"Qiang Qiang ••••••"
"The Ancestral Hall of the God of War was completed today. Folks, those who want to pay homage to the god of war will line up in turn. ”
"Qiang Qiang ••••••"
"The eldest lady is going to incense the god of war, child, you wait a while. ”
The woman hurriedly turned and went into the house.
The word "God of War", like thunder on the ground, accelerated Xuanyuan Xing's heartbeat;
He didn't think about it, and quickly kept up with the crowd on the street.
The white flow of people, one after another, is located in the center of the town, a newly built ancestral hall gathers.
When Xuanyuan Star arrived, the entrance of the ancestral hall was densely packed, and there were no less than 1,000 villagers standing there.
Squeezed into an inconspicuous corner, he was inexplicably afraid;
Standing on tiptoe, staring at the main entrance of the ancestral hall in horror, the plaque was written with three golden characters - the Temple of the God of War.
"Thank you•••••• folks•••••• thank you•••••••"
A middle-aged man with a fat figure walked up the stone steps of the front door.
Needless to say, he is the "mayor of the town" in the woman's mouth.
"Folks, this God of War Ancestral Hall, completed in such a short period of time, all depends on everyone's money and efforts, Lu has thanked me here, thank you!"
"Mayor Lu, there's no need to thank you, this is voluntary!"
"Yes, building an ancestral hall is the common wish of the villagers. ”
••••••
The shouts of several people resonated in the crowd.
The excitement rippling in the crowd affected Mayor Lu on the stage.
"Yes, folks! This is all our voluntariness! Our Xuanyuan God of War, a few months ago, burned 600,000 troops in the Pushui Stone Forest and drove the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army out of our Xuanyuan land, what a hero•••••• it's a pity••••••
Mayor Lu, who was excited, his hands trembled, and his voice became choked.
"It's a pity that in order to protect me Xuanyuan, our god of war, was also buried in the fire••••••"
Xuanyuan Xing couldn't believe his ears, and at this time, his mind was blank.
"Just a few days ago, I received a message from Wancheng;
It is said that today, our King Xuanyuan is going to hold a grand state funeral for our god of war in Yingcheng, the capital of the country•••••• we are not in a hurry to rush to Yingcheng••••••"
Mayor Lu said as he lit three incense sticks.
"However, we built this shrine of the god of war overnight and enshrined the statue of the god of war;
In the future, every year today, the villagers can come to worship incense and pray for blessings;
Pray for the heroic spirit of the god of war to bless my Hongjing Town, eliminate the war forever, and have plenty of food and clothing!"
"Forever extinguish the flames of war, and have enough food and clothing•••••••"
The crowd followed the mayor and knelt down collectively and bowed.
Only in the corner, Xuanyuan Xing, who looked like a beggar, stood silently.
State funerals, ancestral halls, sea of fire, offerings, heroic spirits••••••
These terrible words, a rush of brains, rushed into Xuanyuan Xing's mind;
Then, burst in the immature soul.
pain, spreading with an unstoppable momentum;
The concern, hope, and belief in his heart were eaten away.
The worship ceremony seemed to be too long, and Xuanyuan Star didn't have time to care.
The whole process continued, his eyebrows were tightly closed, and he tried his best to control the tears from the corners of his eyes;
Because he promised his mother that he was a man, he would not shed tears easily.
Night is approaching, and the crowd is gone.
In the empty and dark ancestral hall, only the young man and the young figure remained.
Xuanyuan Xing stared at it for a long time, the statue of the god of war that was not at all similar to his father's appearance;
He couldn't believe it was all true.
"Daddy, did you already know that there would be such a day?
Otherwise, on the night of Pushui, you wouldn't have said those words to Xing'er •••••• to Xing'er!"
Father's loving smile appeared in front of Xuanyuanxing's eyes;
It's so warm, it's so kind, it's so happy.
Xuanyuan Xing's sobbing heart, silently reciting, his father's admonition-
Xing'er, you are still young, there is still a lot of way to go in the future•••••• there are many things, many people, many problems, many choices, you need to face and think by yourself•••••• no matter what kind of difficulties, what kind of tests, what kind of storms and waves you will encounter in the future, you must learn to be brave, learn to be strong••••••• and use your life to protect our nation, our people, and our relatives!
After standing for a long time, Xuanyuan Xing also inserted three sticks of incense in front of the statue;
Then, taking a deep breath of the cold winter wind, he turned around and slowly left the ancestral hall.
"Kid ••••••"
Xuanyuan Xing was just about to walk out of the town when a woman from the shortbread shop shouted eagerly behind her.
"Child, there are some of them, the clothes that my son has worn for a long time, and the 'flower cakes' made by my aunt herself;
You take it, be careful on the road, the eldest mother believes that you will definitely be able to find your mother. ”
Regulus stared at the loving woman in front of her.
Her kind charity aggravated the sorrow in Xuanyuan Xing's heart.
After a brief thank-you, Xuanyuan slowly walked into the snow forest.
Embark on a lonely and long journey.
Aside from the concept of "westward", his mind is now blank.
It's like the endless one, white snow, hollow, dead silence.
Night falls.
The sudden snowstorm in the mountains blocked the heavy steps of the young man.
The young body is curled up in the groove of the rock wall, let the wind and snow rage.
"Daddy, is he really dead? will he never come to Xing'er again?"
"Mother's injury•••••• maybe mother's ••••••"
Xuanyuan Xing didn't dare to continue thinking.
Loneliness, fear, and sadness permeated the dark and snowy night, enveloping the immature body.
He felt colder and colder.
It's just that this cold does not come from the cold wind around it;
Rather, it comes from all the veins in the body.
