Chapter 3 Ancestor Worship
The Liu family's feast was about to end, Liu Ziyuan saw that Liu Ci was not at the table, and was going to find her, but the youngest cousin of the Liu family's side branch was crying, and pulled her over and over again to explain that she really had no intention of Zhou Gongzi, and Sister Ci misunderstood Yunyun.
Liu Ziyuan had to patiently appease the little cousin who pretended to be crazy with wine.
She actually doesn't like little girls who are not right-minded. Whether it is a side branch of the Liu family or a descendant, your back is bent first, and how does the head of the family take a fancy to you?
However, she has a quiet temperament, and she knows that Liu Ci's reputation is not very good, and she doesn't want her sister to make more enemies, so she has to relieve her little cousin.
The sky that had been overcast for most of the day finally changed, and the spring rain was soft, and it was rare to see a heavy rain like this night.
The muffled thunder and the crying of the little cousin made Liu Ziyuan feel a little irritable, and a lightning bolt suddenly pierced the dark night sky, and Liu Ziyuan's eyebrows jumped for no reason.
However, it is said that there have been changes on Junshan Island, and the two concubines of Xiaoxiang in myths and legends have appeared.
Concubine Xiang said that Liu Ci would definitely be a guest in the Dragon Palace because of the blessing of misfortune, but she didn't know that Liu Ci was pushed off the island by Situ Shan, and she was drunk and unconscious, but she was swept to the coral reef at the bottom of the lake by the waves, and knocked again.
Wound after injury, Liu Cika fell unconscious among the coral reefs, blood dripping down his forehead and smearing in the lake.
The strong smell of blood caused a group of fish to stir, and the freshwater crocodile followed the smell to find it, and was about to swallow the "food" into its stomach, and the deep coral reef where Liu Ci was stuck emitted a misty white light, and a resistance bounced the freshwater crocodile over.
The freshwater crocodile did not know how to think, and after several attempts, he could not get close, and he was very angry, and the lake at the coral reef was muddy.
The bottom of the lake was silted, and the fish were frightened by the freshwater crocodiles and fled, but in the distance, there was a black three-foot-long prawn and a golden crab swimming slowly.
The black prawn is three feet long, and the golden crab has a larger shell than a basin, and although the freshwater crocodile is not enlightened, the animal's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm still allows it to escape like the previous small fish and shrimp.
When the bottom of the lake cleared again, only black shrimp and crabs remained.
"This little girl is a little familiar." The dumbfounded golden crab waved two large claws in thought.
The black prawn whiskers whiskers ”
The golden crab suddenly realized, "It turned out to be her!" ”
Cy Young often slipped up to Junshan Island to play, and one year there was a great drought in Dongting, and a group of small shrimp stranded on the reef on the island's edge were curled up by the scorching sun and lay half-dead on the wetland. At that time, Liu Ci was far from what he is today, and he was even softer than his sister Liu Ziyuan, clumsily carrying a group of small shrimp back to the lake one by one, and slumped on the beach with sweat on his head.
"Sister said that there is a dragon palace in Dongting Lake, and these shrimp soldiers are too weak......"
She muttered and muttered for a long time, the black shrimp happened to patrol the waters and pass by, originally very satisfied with the little girl saving the water tribe to return to the lake, listening to her question the strength of the Dragon Palace, the old shrimp who had lived for thousands of years did not keep the heart for a while, and stepped out of the waves, ready to scare the little girl who did not know the height of the sky.
The black shrimp armor was majestic under the scorching sun, and a black prawn stepped on the water and spat out.
Liu Ci was not only not frightened, but found it very interesting.
The black shrimp was firmly grabbed by her, making her cry and laugh. The black shrimp is the first to open the wisdom of the aquarium in the lake, and there are several shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace, only it is the strongest, since the dust fairy and others broke the boundary and left, the Dragon Palace was under its control. Except for the dumb crab, other aquariums are in awe of it, but they dare not get close, and the life of the black shrimp is quite boring.
Liu Citian is not afraid of the ground, although he is young, he thinks clearly when he speaks, and he is a good friend. When Black Shrimp heard that she was a descendant of the Liu family, he liked her two more points, and actually brought her back to the Dragon Palace to play.
Liu Ci was naturally very excited about her eyes, but the black shrimp was afraid that she was a child and didn't know the depths, so when she was sent out of the Dragon Palace, she simply sealed her memory.
Only by seeing it again will the memories of the Dragon Palace at the bottom of Dongting Lake and many shrimp soldiers and crab generals be revived.
Relying on this magical spell, Liu Ci did not divulge the secret, and in the following years, he went to the Dragon Palace several times. Black shrimp is quite fond of her, seeing her outstanding talent, it is expected that most of the Liu family's generation will be her to take over the position of "letter girl", and when she becomes an adult, she will officially serve as a "divine envoy", and the Dragon Palace Zhushui clan is also a real family, and then she can also come and go often, and there is no need to seal her memory so troublesomely.
How do you know that shrimp is not as good as the sky, Liu Ci, who was smart and pleasing when she was young, grew crookedly, and she was hopeless to serve as a letter girl, not to mention, her behavior became more and more stubborn, and she did not want to be nagged by her elders, not to mention coming to Junshan Island, the holy land of the Liu family, she simply didn't even stay on the earth, moved to Pluto, and lived a free and luxurious life all year round.
The black shrimp waited and waited, and the optimistic letter girl became a woman, trying to find out what happened, Liu Ci never came to Junshan Island alone, and he didn't give it a chance to ask!
After waiting for several years of opportunities, it can be realized today, the black shrimp and the golden light crab have already found out that Liu Ci has gone to Junshan Island, and they can save her before Situ Shan starts, the black shrimp is a little arrogant, and Liu Ci has no heart and lungs for many years, and he wants to make her suffer some hardships, so it is late.
Tsz Liu often goes in and out of the Dragon Palace, and the black shrimp has a water splitting trick into her body, but she is not afraid of her being drowned in the lake.
drove away the freshwater crocodile, and whipped the dumb crab, the black shrimp stepped forward to drag out Liu Ci, who was stuck on the coral reef, but he also encountered the same situation as the freshwater crocodile - was bounced open by the invisible wall!
The waters of Dongting are under the jurisdiction of black shrimp, and it knows clearly where the aquatic plants are the most abundant in the lake.
The black shrimp pinched the trick and brushed open the rotten leaves of the aquatic plants that wrapped Liu Ci, only to find that the wound on her forehead had stopped bleeding on its own and she was breathing freely, where was there a serious injury?
Hey, wait, how did a swarthy pebble get embedded in the wound on her forehead?!
The pebble emitted a trace of white light, and the black shrimp probed it with divine sense, and found that the vitality under the black skin flowed, which was about to burst out of the shell at any time...... It is somewhat similar to the lotus seeds that ripen in August every year on the shore of Dongting Lake.
It seems that the lotus seed is doing the trick. The black shrimp couldn't get close, so they had to drag the golden light crab back home.
"General Shrimp, shall we leave her alone?"
Black Shrimp snorted the crab again, "Stupid, little girl, I'm afraid that there is no chance, quickly go back to the Dragon Palace with this general to look through the classics and check what the situation is." ”
Liu Ci was lying in the coral reef with her eyes closed, the black lotus seeds of mysterious origin stuck in her wounds, and the vitality that had been accumulated for thousands of years was also waking up in the shadows.
The black shrimp returned to the Dragon Palace with the golden light crab and dragged out countless books that had long been dusted in the high pavilion.
There are alchemy, refining, sword tricks, tuna, all kinds of strange secret techniques, demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and the gossip history of the big sects in the cultivation realm...... The black shrimp and the golden crab buried their heads in hard work, and before they knew it, the night had passed, the sky was slightly bright, the sun was sinking in the west, and a new day was inevitable.
At eight o'clock in federal time, the rain-washed sky was exceptionally fresh, Liu Ziyuan's black hair was all erected, wearing a purple robe, and he followed behind the head of the Liu family and headed to Junshan Island.
Behind her were the people of the Liu family with solemn faces, who were eligible to participate in the ancestor worship, and there were hundreds of them.
On the occasion of the "Divine Manifestation Day", the good men and women of the Federation traveled together, and they were far away from the alien planet to find a place to purify water and offer sacrifices such as fresh fruits and flowers. If conditions permit, they will return to Dongting City, bathe in incense, and burn incense in the direction of Junshan Island.
The bustling Dongting Lake is full of pedestrians, but wherever the Liu family's team goes, good men and women are willing to avoid it.
It's nothing to disturb the Liu family's ancestors, the Liu family has done good deeds and accumulated virtue for thousands of years, and it is also a well-known family of benevolence among the people, and the situation of bullying will not happen in the Liu family. They avoided it, firstly, because the Liu family had a good reputation, and secondly, who in the Federation did not know that the new believer of the Liu family was afraid that she would take over as the divine envoy on the "Divine Manifestation Day" in the whole year!
Liu Ziyuan's face sank like water, and he took the lead in getting on the big boat with the head of the family.
It stands to reason that today is so important, but she is a little distracted.
Sister Liu Ci disappeared overnight, which made the head of the family angry, and he made a fire in the early morning, scolding Liu Ci for being a unfilial daughter, not knowing the severity, not only absent from the ancestors, but also did not even participate in the succession ceremony of the sister-in-law.
Liu Ziyuan didn't dare to say good things for her sister, but she was really worried.
The porter said that Miss Ci went out before the banquet was over, and Ah Ci's attendants confirmed that she had not returned overnight, and the communicator could not find her location, Liu Ziyuan was very afraid that something had happened to her sister-in-law.
If it weren't for the head of the family insisting that the auspicious time could not be mistaken, Liu Ziyuan would have sent someone to find Liu Ci first.
However, thinking that in Dongting City, the base camp of the Liu family, no one dared to touch Liu Cicai, Liu Ziyuan put aside the complicated thoughts in his head, followed the footsteps of the head of the family, and went to Junshan Island.
Hundreds of people walked without restlessness, and the Liu family knew the importance of this moment and did not dare to make a noise.
When they arrived at the square in front of Liu Yijing, the head of the family led the Liu family to sacrifice the "dusty fairy" first, and then added incense to the second concubine temple, and then sacrificed to the ancestors.
The Liu family did not dare to build the ancestral hall on Junshan Island to blaspheme the gods, but they prepared incense, candles and fruits to kowtow three times to the lake, even if they had sacrificed to their ancestors.
After that, Liu Ziyuan knelt down under the thousand-year-old laurel tree, in front of the fairy colored sculpture, and the head of the family cleaned his hands with the rootless water that was served, and personally put the jade crown on the red silk of Nanmu for Liu Ziyuan to wear.
When he personally fixed the hair crown with a hosta, the current head of the Liu family, Liu Ziyuan and Liu Ci's biological father, was also full of emotion in his heart at this time.
"Ziyuan, everything the Liu family can give you has been given, from now on, it is up to you."
"My daughter understands."
Liu Ziyuan also has dampness in her eyes, in order to spread miracles and dedicate her life to perform the priesthood, there will be sacrifice, this is her glory, and it is also the foundation of the glory of the Liu family that has stood for thousands of years.
"Liu Ziyuan, a believer, is willing to worship the god for the rest of her life, respect the fairy law, walk in the world, shelter believers, and never regret or hesitate."
Liu Ziyuan kowtowed three times to the fairy statue, closed her eyes and did not get up, at this moment she was calm and calm, the spiritual platform was clear, there were no distracting thoughts in her mind, only a piece of pious faith remained.
Minutes and seconds passed, and the sun rose to the center of the canopy.
A golden light broke through the boundary, first landing on the lifelike fairy statue, and then shooting into Liu Ziyuan's eyebrows.
The Liu family all knelt down and shouted miracles. The dust fairy they worship has been given the "magic technique", and this generation of believers Liu Ziyuan has been recognized by the true god, and everyone is relieved.
Seeing that the golden light was about to be withdrawn, the black lotus seeds embedded in Liu Ci's eyebrows at the bottom of the lake were a little urgent, and they wanted to break free from Liu Ci's eyebrows.
The black shrimp and golden crab who were guarding the side were shocked, and even the second concubine of Xiaoxiang appeared beside Liu Ci.
"The seed of cultivation is going to be revived in this girl?"
The two concubines calculated, and looked at each other with strange expressions. At this time, the black lotus seed had already attracted the golden light, and the wind on the lake was fierce, and the water at the bottom of the lake was surging, and it was shaken.
"It's a disaster, it looks like there is a catastrophe to prevent Xiuzhen from reappearing." Concubine Xiao had a frightened face, she and Concubine Xiang were both Yin God bodies, they could not resist in the face of the catastrophe, and they couldn't care about Liu Ci's safety, so they only had time to sprinkle a soft light to wrap Liu Ci before leaving in a hurry, and the second concubine had returned to Junshan Island in a moment.
"Chaos lotus seeds, it is the ...... of the sprouting of chaos lotus seeds" The black shrimp finally found out the situation in front of him from the classics, and the catastrophe suddenly came, making it more worried than happy.
The Chaos Lotus Seed sprouted, and Liu Ci was also selected, which was a big chance, but I met Liu Ci's sister to receive blessing on the island.
You must know that the dust fairy is not in this realm, and the two coincide with each other, attracting the catastrophe, not to mention, for fear of disturbing the laws of time and space.
Black Shrimp sighed: "This general's mana is low, but he can't save you, little girl, look at your creation!" ”
The black shrimp dragged the golden light crab away, and halfway through the way, he took out a thread-bound ancient book from his arms and threw it in the direction of Liu Ci. The dumb crab also did the same, and chose an ancient book and threw it away.
A purple thunderbolt fell, leaving only a deep pit on the reef where Liu Ci was.
Whether it is Liu Ci, Chaos Lotus Seed, or two ancient books, they have not left any traces.
Not to mention the surprise of everyone in the Liu family on the island. After a long time, the black shrimp and the golden light crab returned to the scene, and Liu Ci didn't look like he was hacked to death by the catastrophe, it seemed that he had another chance.
"It's a pity, I hurriedly threw her a copy of "Fu Gong Daquan", and I don't know if I can use it." The black shrimp sighed, and asked the golden light crab what classics he chose.
The latter didn't dare to speak, and after checking it correctly for a long time, he found that many cultivation classics were there, but a copy of "Qi Min Yao Shu New Edition" that I didn't know who put it in was missing...... It suddenly realized why General Shrimp always called it "Silly Crab".
