Chapter VII

In an open place in the mountains at the northern foot of Xiling, the mother of the ancestor Wang Qi and the descendants of the Tiger clan knelt on the ground, held a grand naming ceremony of the Xing clan, changed the name of the clan to the Xiling clan to the Luming clan, awarded Wang Qi the elder of the Xiling Luming clan, Tu Ji as the elder of the Zhangzu clan, Pang Gao as the Wuzhu of the Zhang, Bu Ying as the elder of the household administration, Xuanyu as the elder of the division, Yu as the elder of Shizan, and the nine-year-old ancestor of the Xiling Luming clan was honored as the young master of the Xiling Luming clan. Establish a new clan, inherit the public system, uphold the heavens and virtues, worship in the sky, unite the people, and be neighborly and friendly from all over the world.

After the new clan of the Luming clan was established, the old Wang Qi clan held a crown ceremony for several young boys and girls, and the twelve years of the concubine Ah Hua knelt on the altar with both knees, her eyes closed, her arms held the sky, Wu Zhu Pang Gao sprinkled tidbits around the Ah Hua bouquet, and muttered the sacrificial mantra in her mouth. Wang Qi walked up to the altar at the call of Wu Zhu Pang Gao, and she took a sharp stone from the altar and cut her left palm, and drops of blood dripped on Ah Hua's face and body. Wang Qi shouted: "The heavens are gracious, the female concubine of the Luming clan is fourteen years old, the male concubine of the Luming clan is twelve years old, the female priest of the Luming clan is fourteen years old, the male concubine of the Luming clan is fourteen years old, the female Tumeixiu of the Luming clan is thirteen years old, the male concubine of the Luming clan is fifteen years old, and the ancestors are kind, the crown is awarded, and the human blood is sacrificed, so that the daughters and daughters of the clan can be guaranteed to multiply and prosper." ”

Six young men and girls raised garlands, looked up at the sky, and shouted to the scorching sun: "The children of the Luming clan are given a crown ceremony today to ensure the prosperity of the Luming clan for generations. ”

Wang Qi walked straight to Concubine Xiaozhuang's side and said, "Zhuang'er, your sister Ah Hua is a coming-of-age salute, you can confess your wish to your sister." ”

Concubine Xiaozhuang looked at Wang Qi and his ancestor and said, "Mother, what if my sister doesn't agree?" ”

Wang Qi said: "Your sister has been sacrificed to adulthood, it depends on you, if you let other men rob the marriage, don't regret it." ”

Concubine Xiaozhuang bit his lip, stood up, walked to Concubine Ahua's side resignedly, knelt beside Concubine Ahua and said, "Eldest sister, Xiaozhuang likes you, I hope you can be Xiaozhuang's woman." ”

Concubine Ahua was stunned, she looked sideways at Concubine Xiaozhuang and said, "You are crazy, how can you and my sister and brother get married, go back." ”

Concubine Xiaozhuang's face was gloomy, and before he could speak again, Concubine Ahua said: "Concubine Xiaozhuang, I can't be your woman." ”

Wu Zhu Pang Gao listened and said: "Concubine Ahua, Xiao Zhuang and you are not biological, do you think about it, if you step off the altar, you are robbed of marriage by other men, but there will be no chance." ”

Ah Hua stood up and shouted: "Listen to the people of the Luming clan, our brothers and sisters have sworn that they can't recover the Xiling clan under the Wolf Tuo Peak, and they can't fulfill my father's ambition to win the dragon, and my concubine Ah Hua will not become anyone's woman, if any of the men of my clan dare to marry me, don't blame me for turning my face and showing no mercy." As she spoke, she took out a stone blade from her waist and slashed her left palm, sprinkling a handful of blood on it.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhuang was extremely sad, he turned his head and ran down the altar, stood under the altar and turned around and shouted: "Eldest sister, you are good, Xiao Zhuang knows that he is wrong." ”

Wang Qishi couldn't help frowning when he looked at his daughter Ahua's stubborn attitude, and his daughter Zu beside him comforted: "Mother, don't force the eldest sister, the eldest sister's affairs are still up to her." ”

Wang Qishi sighed: "Your little brother Zhuang has liked your eldest sister since he was a child, this stupid boy just doesn't dare to say it, I thought I would find a good family for you all early, and my mother just had a wish, but one of you is more stubborn than the other." The ancestor let out a long sigh, wiped the two lines of tears on his cheeks for Prince Qi's mother, and said: "Mother, the century-old foundation of the Xiling clan is still in the hands of others, how can we have children at this time." ”

Zhu Pang Gao stood on the altar and shouted: "Today, the six young men have performed the adult sacrifice, according to the clan rules, you will bear the burden of protecting the clan for the people, this is the responsibility of the Xiling Luming clan, good people, after the adult sacrifice, everyone go to work in the field, scattered." ”

When the clan dispersed, Ah Hua stood on the altar and looked at her mother and siblings under the altar, and she walked down the altar with a depressed face. Ah Hua walked up to her mother and said softly: "Mother, Ah Hua's eldest brother is two years old, besides, we have always been called sister and brother, I don't want to." ”

"Okay, you don't need to say it, I understand it, I can't control the three of you sisters and brothers, I won't ask about your affairs in the future, whether you will live well in the future, just don't complain to your mother." After Wang Qishi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Ah Hua watched her mother leave, she stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Zhuang's arm and said, "Xiao Zhuang, sister me"

"Needless to say, eldest sister, Xiao Zhuang knows what his sister thinks, Xiao Zhuang doesn't blame you." After Xiao Zhuang finished speaking, he turned around and chased after his mother. The ancestor looked at the concubine Xiaozhuang who was leaving, turned his head and walked towards the concubine Ahua and said, "Eldest sister, Zu'er thinks that you are doing the right thing, and the woman will."

You have to be with the man you like, and then you will be happy. ”

Ah Hua turned around and took the ancestor's arm and said, "What do you know at a young age, but what you said is also what the eldest sister thinks, but I made my mother unhappy." The ancestor smiled: "Don't worry, my mother is kind-hearted and doesn't care." The two laughed at each other, and held hands and headed towards the nest.

The night was deep and the stars were twinkling, and the ancestor sat on the altar and looked at the twinkling starry sky, and let out a long sigh. Sai and Tu Mei Xiu ascended the altar, and the two sat quietly beside their ancestors. The ancestor looked at the two and smiled, and she looked up at the night sky again.

The priest looked at the ancestor and said, "Young master, can I follow you in the future?" ”

Tu Meixiu on the side also said: "And me, I also want to follow the young master." ”

The ancestor looked sideways at the two of them: "Follow me, what are you doing with me?" ”

Sai said dejectedly: "My father died, and my mother went to Dongyuan with the clansmen, and I became a person who no one cared about." ”

Tu Meixiu said: "Sacrifice, the young master and I will take care of you, and we will be good sisters in the future." ”

After hearing this, the ancestor said: "What Mei Xiu said is that we will be good sisters in the future, good sisters for life." Tu Meixiu grabbed her ancestor and said, "Young master, I'm older than you, why don't you call me sister?" ”

The ancestor restrained her smile and said: "My mother said, I am the young master of the Xiling Luming clan, and the young master must have the appearance of a young master, and I also want to call you sister, call me a sacrificial sister, but I am afraid that my mother will scold me." ”

Tu Meixiu and the priest looked at each other, and said: "Young master, you will call me the two sacrifices and Meitu in the future, and we will call you the young master, you are the young master, and the young master should have the appearance of a young master." ”

"Ah, call me young master, I'm not used to it, I'd rather you call me Zu'er." The ancestor held Tu Meixiu and the sacrificial hand with an embarrassed expression.

Suddenly, Ah Hua ran over and shouted: "Young master, quickly, when my mother was pulling the cocoon, there was a feathered silkworm moth again?" ”

After hearing this, the ancestor said: "Ah, there is a feathered silkworm moth again, is it the same as yesterday?" ”

"Yes, it's exactly the same, when the ginkgo meets water, the cocoon comes out of the moth, the cocoon is all bitten by the moth, and the silk drawn out becomes a short knot."
