sacrifice
Hurry back to his residence, put down the box containing clothes, five o'clock in the afternoon is the priesthood, when I turned around the old mansion before, I saw a courtyard in the easternmost part, there was a three-story attic, which was the ancestral hall of the Situ family, and the succession ceremony was carried out there.
Then I opened the box, the lilac embroidered with a delicate pattern of clothes in front of me, I picked up and looked at it with disgust, but, and then smelled closely, the special fragrance was gone, and this material, I touched, although the clothes are still silk, but the feel seems to be different.
Could it be that Mu Fan has already moved his hands and feet, and his clothes have become ordinary clothes?
He put his clothes back into the box, lay down on the sofa, looked at the wooden carved ceiling, and waited quietly for the priesthood to arrive.
......
Later, I fell asleep, and when I woke up it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and I got up and rubbed my eyes and looked out the window.
It was quiet, with occasional cool breezes blowing in, but it was so quiet that it seemed like you could still hear the wind.
Put on your shoes, take your clothes into the bathroom, wash your face and change your clothes, and try your best to create a perfect Situ Jin.
After wearing a cheongsam and a lilac silk scarf, Situ Jin in the mirror was so beautiful that I touched my face and sighed secretly, the soul is not there, and the world is impermanent.
After doing everything, I went out of Tingyuxuan, and walked straight towards the ancestral hall, but I didn't meet anyone on the way, the silence was terrible, and what was even more strange was that the doors and windows of the houses were closed.
Still calm, I secretly touched the ruby bracelet in my hand and walked cautiously along the road.
When I arrived at the ancestral hall, the plaque directly above the courtyard gate was written with several traditional characters of 'Stretching for All Generations', and the door was hidden and opened with a gentle push.
Towards the interior, the courtyard is boxy, in the middle is a three-story attic, a bit like the ancient library pavilion, there is a big bell hanging on the eaves of the four directions, and the bell rings when the wind blows.
When I got here, I took a deep breath and pushed open the door, just as I had thought.
The ancestral hall is quite dark, there are five lantern shelves on the left and right, and there are five big red lanterns on them, and in front of it is the tablet of the ancestors of the Situ family, the tablets are arranged in an orderly manner, and in front are two copper candlesticks, with two large candles.
There were a few people sitting on both sides, I only knew that one of them was the third uncle, and he seemed to be a little older in the dim candlelight, and he stood up at this moment, lit a few sticks of incense and worshiped the ancestors, I watched, and glanced around a few times with my spare eyes, looking for a sword that Mu Fan said.
The third uncle did everything and returned to his original position and sat down, and I was looking away when I suddenly saw a red light flash from the spiritual seat, approaching me.
I don't know what it was, and the red light was already around me, and after a while it dissipated.
"Situ Jin, the fifth-generation descendant of the demon clan, will inherit the position of the head of the Situ family from today, and he is bound to go to the soup for the demon venerable.
In the darkness, an old voice came.
This is, Situ Kongming?
Hearing this, I was surprised, could it be that there are really people from the Demon Realm here?
Before I could think about it, another red light shot at me, and my hand involuntarily raised, only to see that the red light was being absorbed by the bracelet on my wrist, and there was no movement for a while.
And no one here seemed to feel anything abnormal.
At this time, a person came from the left, it was the second uncle Situ Kongcheng, and he pushed a man in a wheelchair out, with a sword with a beautifully carved flower and a red scabbard like fire burning on his lap.
Situ Kongming came to me, and I hurriedly bowed my head to show respect.
"Jin'er, this is the heirloom sword of the demon clan, although no one has been able to open it in the past generations, but the thing that my clan guards, today you are the patriarch, and you are in agreement with it with your blood."
And Situ Kongcheng on the side handed me a silver needle, "Jin'er, don't be afraid, just drop a drop of blood on the scabbard of your fingertips."
I nodded, took the silver needle and saw that it was difficult to ride a tiger in this scene, pricked my finger with the silver needle, and immediately blood gushed out, Situ Kongming immediately handed me the sword, and I took it and looked at it carefully.
"Jin'er" Situ Kongming called me in an old voice.
I pretended to be surprised, "Father, for some reason, I seem to have seen this sword somewhere."
"What!" he said as expected, hurriedly, "where?"
Seeing that he reacted so excitedly, I reassured, "Can you let Jin'er take a closer look?"
"Okay" Situ Kongming resolutely agreed, I took advantage of this gap to walk to the candlelight and turned my back to them, quickly opened the good bottle hidden in the sleeve and hidden by the cloak, and dripped the golden liquid inside, the liquid seemed to be completely absorbed by the sword, not a drop dropped.
In just a few seconds, after doing everything, I turned around, "Jin'er has indeed seen this sword, it is from a rich boy"
I started talking nonsense again, this kind of sword does have all those 'rich boys', it seems to be similar, but the patterns on it are different.
"Rich boy?" Situ Kongming thought for a while, and after a while, he said slowly, "Jin'er, do you know who he is?"
"Father, rest assured, although I have only met once at the auction, Jin'er will definitely find out who he is" I lied without blushing and heartbeat.
"Okay, Jin'er, it's up to you to do this, the ceremony isn't over yet, let's continue"
I squeezed a few drops of blood from my pierced fingertips and dropped them on my sword, but nothing happened.
After that, he engaged in many strange rituals, especially Situ Kongming, who had words in his mouth, as if he was reciting some incantation.
In about an hour, the ceremony is over, but in addition to worshiping ancestors and worshipping the sky, this ceremony is in the open air, set for three days, and then it is bound to be on a huge scale, and everyone in the Situ family will come.
......
Walking out of the ancestral hall again, it is already dark, the old house is lit with red lanterns everywhere, shuttling along the path between the red lanterns is very meaningful, the huge mansion is quiet and abnormal, always feel weird, and hurriedly follow the road signs to return to Tingyuxuan.
Push open the door and turn on the light to lock the door, today is really weird, I always feel that this place, there have always been a pair of eyes, peeping at me in the dark.
The window creaked, and I shivered and looked at the window.
