Chapter 118 The New Year Sacrifice Begins
The rising sun in the early morning will reflect the earth in a harmonious and bright light, and everywhere is full of spring fun and vitality.
Today's Lu family has been showing a lively scene since dawn, and there is a hustle and bustle everywhere.
Because today is the day when the Lu family's annual clan competition begins, this day is also the most important for all the people of the Lu family.
Moreover, the clan ratio is a means for the Lu family to select talents for key training, and even those with outstanding talents may get the opportunity to go to the sect to cultivate.
Lu Yan's mother got up early this morning and made breakfast, and then came to Lu Yan's room to ask him to get up for breakfast and brought in the new shoes that she had helped him with before.
However, because of the late breakthrough last night, it was already about dawn when he fell asleep, so Lu Yan planned to sleep for a while.
After sleeping for about half an hour, Lu Yan got up from the bed. At this time, there was no trace of the demon bear in the room.
Lu Yan released a trace of spiritual power, and after sensing it slightly, he found that it was squatting outside the kitchen at this time, eating, and eating vigorously. However, in Lu Yan's induction, the demon bear's aura seemed to be much stronger than yesterday, and it was already comparable to the peak of qi training, which made Lu Yan happy in his heart.
After changing clothes, Lu Yan also came to the kitchen, and Lu's mother was busy back and forth at this time. As soon as she saw Lu Yan coming in, she hurriedly turned on a boiler and took out a few dishes of side dishes that were still steaming on it.
While eating breakfast, Lu Yan and his mother were doing homework, not thinking about waiting for the clan competition that was about to start.
"Bell... Bell...!"
Just when Lu Yan was eating deliciously, there was a buzzing bell from a distance.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the direction from which the voice came with a somewhat solemn expression, and secretly said in his heart, "Is the clan competition finally about to start?"
"Yan'er, that bell just now was the convening of the family annual sacrifice, right?" Lu Mu asked suddenly.
"Well, yes" the bell rang nine times, and all the clansmen had to rush to the square within the specified time to gather for the New Year's sacrifice. Lu Yan said lightly, his eyes were full of essence.
"Then you should hurry up and finish eating and then go over, don't fall behind in time, otherwise it will not be good to be blamed by those elders. Mother Lu advised.
"Hmm," Lu Yan quickly finished the rice in the bowl, and then got up and walked out the door.
Along the way, I saw that the majestic and wide avenue was crowded with people, and the avenue, which was wide enough to pass through five carriages, seemed a little crowded at the moment. The avenue was crowded with people, and everyone was full of joy and anticipation.
"The New Year's Festival is really lively!"
Looking at the young men and girls in fresh clothes and angry horses riding horses on the majestic avenue passing by, although Lu Yan had not yet arrived at the martial arts arena, he had already deeply felt the lively atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Soon Lu Yan came to the edge of the square where the New Year Festival was held, and this happened to be the martial arts arena in front of the Martial Pavilion, which was extremely wide and could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. The Lu family's annual festival and clan comparison are held here.
Standing at the edge of the square, Lu Yan looked up at the behemoth-like martial pavilion. At this time, although he was already the strength of the third layer of the Acquired Realm, he still felt a strong oppression in the face of it, and his awe arose spontaneously.
The huge arena was crowded with people, the buzzing sound was endless, and there was a hustle and bustle everywhere.
And at the edge of the square, countless slaves and maids and those people from the Lu family at the bottom were also curious and rushed to look inside, after all, this was the most grand and grand gathering of the Lu family every year. It gathered all the high-ranking members of the Lu family and the young handsome people.
Whenever they saw a young, handsome, beautiful and generous young master, they had to talk about it.
The New Year's Festival is really the most lively, you see that these young masters and ladies of our Lu family are all in their prime!
"I see that your little prodigal hoof is starting to make spring waves, where are these honorable young masters and young ladies that we slaves can comment on. Wake up!"
"Where did I send it, it was a wave, people just felt it. Besides, that girl doesn't have a spring, I can't even think about it. If I fall in love with a young master, let me be a concubine and be a lot better than now..."
"Of course, our Lu family is the leading big family in Longzhou Mansion, even if we can't be favored by the young masters of the lineage, but as long as we are favored by the young masters of those side lines, we can soar to the sky... At least you don't have to be a servant who doesn't even have an identity, and you don't have to serve others in a lowly way..."
The maids discussed in a low voice, and from time to time they secretly looked at the young men in fresh clothes and angry horses, revealing the luster of love. And the luster in his eyes when he saw those gorgeously dressed, graceful and generous young ladies turned into envy and longing. I'm afraid that in their hearts, they have already fantasized about themselves as these young ladies at this moment.
Standing on the side, watching these people's discussions, Lu Yan just smiled lightly.
Looking at those freshly dressed and angry people of the same age, Lu Yan showed a wry smile on his face. The style of the young master of his own line is not as good as that of those children of the same clan in the side lineage, some of them ride horses, dress luxuriously, and have extraordinary momentum. At this time, Lu Yan was wearing a cyan undershirt, and the black and white canvas shoes were still the new shoes that his mother helped him get this morning.
Lu Yan touched his nose, although he felt that he was indeed shabby compared to them, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. These are just external decorations, and what he values more is his inner temperament and strength.
"Get out of the way... Get out of the way...!"
Just as Lu Yan was about to walk towards the front of the square, suddenly there was a burst of shouting behind him, followed by a rapid sound of horses' hooves. Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly looked back curiously.
I saw that many slaves behind were spreading out to both sides in a panic to make way for them, and several horses in the distance were hurrying forward.
The young man at the head was dressed in brocade clothes and looked handsome, about sixteen years old. It's just that there is an exaggerated and arrogant look between the eyebrows, which makes people annoy at a glance.
I saw that his expression was arrogant at this time, and he flew up and down with both hands waving a leather whip. Behind him were several horses, all of them richly dressed, shouting excitedly.
"Lu Wushuang... Second Elder's second grandson!"
Looking at the young man in charge, such a message flashed in Lu Yan's mind in an instant.
In Lu Yan's memory, this guy was a little smart, but because he was the grandson of the second elder, he often did whatever he wanted and did a lot of bad things. Later, I heard that he went to the sect to cultivate, but I didn't expect him to come back this time for the New Year's Festival
