The man chuckled and straightened up: "If you want to go, you can go, you don't have to report to me." ”

"No, I'm going to go with you." He insisted.

The man tilted his head, looked at him with phoenix eyes, and after a few seconds, he agreed perfunctorily, and said, "It's okay to go home and see Auntie, you have been doing more and more outrageous things in recent years." ”

Chen Weiran pursed his lips, "Cousin, don't worry about this, I'll come to you when the time comes, don't tell my mother that I came to you, otherwise you'll have to worry about it for a while." ”

The man hummed nonchalantly, raised his hand and looked at the platinum watch, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, he picked up the suit jacket on the side, and said, "Let the driver take you away, I will drive it later." ”

"Got it."

Yandu has a well-known ancient town, not only because of its architectural style, but also because of its long history.

Xilai Town, established in the Western Han Dynasty, has a history of more than 2,000 years. According to rumors, it was not the town of Xilai that was originally built, but the famous Xilaifu, an ancient mansion that was even more famous than the town of Xilai. Every household in Xilai Town is accustomed to wearing Hanfu, and it is a famous modern Han culture inheritance township. Of course, there are not only those wearing Hanfu, but also the costumes of other dynasties, after all, Xilai Town has experienced countless dynasties for 2,000 years, but their culture has not been broken.

The tourism industry in the town is quite developed, and the mysterious Xilai Mansion has become the first attraction in the minds of many tourists, even if they can only watch it from a wide river, it cannot stop them from wanting to explore. In addition, Xilai Town has also become the preferred filming location for countless costume TV dramas and movies, with almost a dozen crews filming here every year.

Xilai Town is particularly large, and the Xilai Mansion alone covers an area of nearly 200,000 square meters, almost one-third the size of the Forbidden City.

However, there is a custom in Xilai Town, that is, men do not marry women outside.

This custom has never been broken.

April 16 of the lunar calendar is said to be an auspicious day in the town of Xilai, and every six years there is a very grand and ancient sacrificial ceremony. On this day, the Sheraiya, which has never been seen easily, will personally preside over this sacrifice.

Chen Weiran seemed to be quite interested in the sacrificial ceremony in Xilai Town, and Gu Weijun originally set the inspection plan because he had advanced it by a week.

At this time, the two were standing on Liuyang Street, which was full of lights and bustling.

Liuyang Street is the largest and most prosperous street in Xilai Town, the street is dressed in gorgeous Hanfu, long hair bun, men are like gentlemen, women are like fair ladies.

On both sides are quaint houses, with high and low pavilions.

It is as if you have traveled to the real Han Dynasty and felt the atmosphere of ancient times.

And they look out of place.

They did not crowd or shout, and occasionally there was a small chatter, and the wide road was lined with people.

Let their group of outsiders feel an unprecedented grandeur and solemnity.

Gu Weijun They came early, and the fixed location had a particularly wide field of vision, which was on a big boat on the river bank, and they could see the entire street and the appearance of the entire altar.

The altar is made of countless hard marbles, each of which is carved with clear and intricate patterns, and the wind and sun have not allowed it to corrode and damage over the years. In the middle is placed a square bronze tripod, almost one person high, at this time the green smoke on the tripod curls. There are also four small tripods placed in the four sides of the bronze tripod, and the position of the small tripod can be seen even by ordinary people. The entire table constitutes a formation, and Xiaoding is placed in the formation acupuncture points. The runes in the formation were obscure, and even some top scholars had not been able to completely decipher its meaning.

Gu Weijun was silent, and after watching it for a few seconds, he felt a little dizzy. Not only that, but he also gave birth to the depression of suffocation for no reason, which made him very uncomfortable.

When Chen Weiran saw the altar, his heart was shocked beyond words, and he said in ecstasy: "Cousin, look at it, that is the family crest of Xilai Mansion." ”

Pointing to the front of Dading, there are ten-meter-high stone pillars on both sides, and the stone pillars are smooth and flawless up and down. In the center is carved a dragon totem, the dragon is connected to form a perfect circle, the depiction is simple but the atmosphere is highlighted. In particular, the demeanor of the dragon raising its head and swallowing clouds and spitting out fog gives people a sense of majestic clouds.

Gu Weijun's index knuckle pressed against the tip of his tall nose as if thinking. Chen Weiran, who was enthusiastic, didn't notice it, and it was only after a while that he realized that the people around him had not spoken.

"Cousin?" He shouted in confusion.

Gu Weijun frowned, glanced at him, displeased with his interruption, and said coldly: "I won't interfere with what you have done outside in the past few years, but after this time, you will go home." ”

His words were like cold water in an ice pool, splashing him with cold air.

He stubbornly said, "No, I must find out who were back then." ”

Gu Weijun took a deep breath, what happened seven years ago Chen Weiran, who had always trusted him, confided in him without reservation.

But after this incident, he became chattering, and even left despite the dissuasion of his family after graduation.

"What if you can't find it in your lifetime?"

His words made Chen Weiran silent. Suddenly, there was an uproar in the crowd. Gradually, from a distance, there was a burst of bells and chimes ringing, and the rich and powerful music revealed a bit of vicissitudes and sorrow, as if it had washed away the filth of the world in an instant. The heavy music makes them have a strange sense of retrospection, as if they have returned to distant antiquity for a while, witnessing the changes of historical dynasties and the rotation of vicissitudes of life.

The boatman lowered his oars, his expression became respectful, he bowed his head, pressed the palm of his left hand against the back of his right hand and raised it above his head, and saluted in the direction where the music came.

Not only the boatmen, but they saw that the whole town of Xilai saluted in that direction, and everyone had solemn expressions, and their eyes were staring directly at their feet, and they did not look around.

Visitors who saw this scene for the first time were extremely puzzled and exclaimed for the shocking scene.

Chen Weiran, who was beside him, was very emotional, he said: "This is the way of saluting that has been handed down from ancient times in Xilai Town. ”

Although I had researched everywhere before I came, and I knew something about this custom in Xilai Town, the shock I felt when I saw it was indescribable.

Just one small town is amazing, and it's hard to imagine what it was like for ancient kings to reign under the heavens.

He continued in a quick tone: "It is recorded in the book that most of the ancients held weapons in their right hands, so spreading their right hand downward means that they have no weapon, and pressing the back of their right hand with their left hand and holding it high above their head is a sign of the opponent's status or strength over themselves, which is a gesture of surrender. ”

After he finished speaking, the gate of Xilai Mansion, which had always been closed in the distance, suddenly opened, and one after another bright flags walked towards the altar in an orderly manner.

Gu Weijun looked thoughtfully at the line.

Their neat two vertical columns were well-trained, their pace was slow and consistent, and they stepped on the drum step by step, and the time was quite in place.

Suddenly, two rows of orderly white clothes walked on both sides of the empty street.

As they marched, the chime became louder and louder.
