Chapter 62: The Ritual
Three days passed quietly, and on this day, the enthronement ceremony of the new head of the Mo family had officially begun. Mo Zhengfeng invited guests, and all the famous family forces in Lancheng were called over to witness this long-awaited moment.
"Wow, that's a lot of people. The palm of his hand was placed in front of his forehead in a wait-and-see manner, and Jun Xiaoxiao's face was full of surprise.
"It's really hilarious. In the crowded crowd, Meng Wu smiled wryly. The status of the Mo family in Lancheng is really high, and the succession ceremony of a family head has attracted so many people to congratulate. "Teacher, I don't know how long it will take to get to the Mo family if we continue like this, why don't you fly us over directly." ”
"I don't want to be so conspicuous, old man. Old man Mu didn't even think about it, and refused directly. "Anyway, who allowed you to put your sword in the storage ring?"
"The sword is too big, and it's not easy to carry it. Meng Wu said bitterly.
"Don't talk nonsense, take it out and carry it on your back, this is also good for your experience and your cultivation. ”
"Yes~" Meng Wuxian looked weak, and every time he moved his sword, he felt like he was carrying a thousand pounds.
In the Mo family, Mo Zhengfeng's face was red, and he looked like he was intended. He turned his head to Mo Tianxing on the side and said, "Tianxing, do you know why the teacher invited guests to participate in the succession ceremony. ”
"I don't know. ”
"You remember, no one remembers a fallen king, and what they need is someone who can benefit them, whoever that person may be. ”
"The apprentice was stupid and failed to understand the meaning of the master's words. ”
"Mo Zhengtian is like a king after the fall, no matter how powerful he is in life, he is just a pile of white bones after death. And what they need is not bones, but another leader who can replace them. As long as I become the head of the Mo family, I will let the clansmen understand that what he can do, I can too! Even if he comes back, the Mo family will no longer welcome him," Mo Zhengfeng showed a sharp face, and the moment he expected was finally coming.
"Report to the elder, my subordinates saw a person in the crowd...", suddenly, an attendant ran in from outside.
After listening to the attendant's words, Mo Zhengfeng showed a murderous smile and waved his hand to signal him to retreat.
"Do you want me to make a move?" Mo Tianxing asked. Shaking his head, Mo Zhengfeng showed a playful smile. "Mo Zhengtian's daughter, it just so happens that the old man wants you to see with your own eyes how I took back the position of head of the family from your father. ”
Outside Mo's house, a group of five people stood a few hundred meters outside the gate, and in front of them was a crowd of people.
"This is the Mo family, it's magnificent. Meng Wu's tearful face was full of sighs, rich people are different, they pay attention to pomp and circumstance, and even build a house in such a grand style.
"Before you go in, the old man will help you change your image so that you don't be recognized. Old man Mu walked up to Mo Mo and said.
"Now that you have come to the Mo family, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail anymore. Mo Mo refused.
"Don't say that, listen to me. Ignoring Mo Mo's objections, Old Man Mu insisted on helping her change her appearance.
"No, you don't. "Mo Mo is also a stubborn temper, since he said that he is unwilling to change his face, how can he give in so easily.
"Hide your identity first, and you can still watch a good show. If you keep the old man, you can't say that the position of the head of the Mo family will really change hands. Old man Mu looked like he was watching a good show, and his appearance of being a scoundrel was exactly the same as Meng Wuxian.
"What do you mean?" Mo Mo's voice showed a hint of excitement, listening to what he meant, as long as he obediently disguised the Great Elder's conspiracy would not succeed?
That's what it means. Old man Mu suddenly slid in front of Mo Mo with a wave of his big hand, only to see that after the big hands swept over, Mo Mo's whole temperament changed, and his face seemed to change. Immediately, the same slid in front of Mo Shui, and the disguise of the two was completed in an instant. "Watch the show well, it won't disappoint you. ”
"You... What did you do. Mo Mo obviously noticed the changes that had occurred in his body, and couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Wow, Momo, you seem to be a different person. Jun Xiaoxiao suddenly stared at Mo Mo with bright eyes, and then turned his head to flattering Old Man Mu and said, "Bearded grandpa, your disguise technique is so powerful, can you teach me." ”
"Don't even think about it. Old man Mu raised his head and looked arrogant.
"Please, teach me. ”
"No, I can't. ”
"Please. ”
"No, I can't. ”
.........
When the two of them were having a good time, everyone had already come to the gate of the Mo family.
"You're here for a banquet?" asked the guard guarding the door.
"That's right, we heard that today is the inauguration ceremony of the new head of the family, and we have come to congratulate you. Old man Mu smiled lightly and said, revealing an extraordinary color in his gestures.
"How come I've never seen you?" the guard looked puzzled, trying to make a thoughtful look.
"Stupid, there are so many people in Lancheng, how can you remember everyone. The other guard stared at the man with an idiot expression and cursed.
"Well, can we go in? ”
"Of course, please come in. Saying that, he made a way, and several people looked at each other, but they didn't expect to be able to enter so easily.
Following the flow of people, everyone came to the place where the ceremony was held. At this time, the protagonists of this ceremony have not yet come, and the crowd is already standing under the high platform where the ceremony is held.
"I heard that the previous head of the Mo family disappeared for no reason?"
"You just know, they've been missing for two years. ”
"The latest news, the only heir of the previous head of the family passed away about half a year ago. ”
"Really?"
"It's impossible, no matter how you say death, you're dead. ”
"It should be true, otherwise how could the new head of the family be Mo Zhengfeng. ”
"This old guy, maybe he's doing a ghost. ”
"I also think it's possible, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to choose the next head of the family. ”
"Well, he's not something we can provoke. ”
The voices of discussion in the crowd kept coming, and the focus of the conversation was naturally what had happened to the Mo family recently.
"These people have enough gossip. Seeing that Mo Mo's face was a little unsightly, Jun Xiao complained.
"Gossip is human nature, but they would never have imagined that Mo Mo is still alive. Meng Wutear patted Jun's little head and said, for some reason he always likes to reach out and pat Jun's little head.
Habitually patting away Meng Wutear's paws, Jun Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to him. Anyway, no matter how much he shouted, he would still slap his head next time.
"Today is the handover ceremony of the head of our Mo family, and I am honored to be able to see it. The previous head of the family disappeared mysteriously and did not return for a long time, and the old man had no choice but to replace him as the temporary head of the family. It's a pity that the misfortune is not a one-way street, half a year ago, the eldest lady of the Mo family, the only heir of the head of the family also died tragically in the Yundui Mountains; Speaking of this, Mo Zhengfeng deliberately paused.
The people in the audience were all cunning and cunning, and at the moment when Mo Zhengfeng paused, he instantly remembered the thunderous applause.
"Then I declare that the handover ceremony has officially begun. As soon as the applause stopped, the elder in charge of the presiding officer immediately shouted.
"Next, I would like to ask the Great Elder to give the family token to the new head of the family. ”
After finishing speaking, the newly appointed Great Elder slowly walked forward and came to Mo Zhengfeng.
Mo Zhengfeng knelt down on one knee, and the new Great Elder took out something similar to a seal.
"It's too late to stop it. Mo Shui's face was full of anxiety, and he looked at the old man Mu on the side, but saw that he still looked like he was watching a good show. The seal is a symbol of the head of the house, and every head of the house bears such a mark before taking office, and once it is imprinted, it can never be washed away.
"Can't wait any longer. As he spoke, Mo Mo was about to rush up to stop him.
"What?" Mo Mo suddenly looked angry, glared at Meng Wuxian viciously, and then stared at Old Man Mu tightly.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Mo Mo's voice couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, and just when she wanted to rush up, she felt that her body was restrained by an inexplicable force, and she couldn't leave at all.
"Don't worry, look, it's not a good show. Old man Mu laughed.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a thunderous shout from the sky. "What a guts!"
The Great Elder's hand froze in mid-air, and he didn't press the seal any further.
"What are you still doing, quickly seal the seal of the head of the family to me. Hearing that familiar voice, Mo Zhengfeng finally seemed a little flustered, and shouted angrily at the Great Elder.
"I'm sorry, I can't. Retracting the seal, the Great Elder's face showed a look of determination.
"How dare you betray me. Mo Zhengfeng was annoyed and angry, and slapped his palm at the defenseless Great Elder.
The sudden change on the stage surprised the people present, and just when they thought that the Great Elder's life was short, a figure jumped in front of the Great Elder like lightning in an instant. Raise your arm all the way and easily follow Mo Zhengfeng's attack.
"That's..."Mo Mo suddenly became very excited, tears rolling in his eyes.
"I said there would be a good show. Old man Mu said proudly, obviously he had expected this sudden change.
