Chapter 31: The Eight Mansions Gather
It was still early before the ceremony began, but the number of onlookers from all directions exceeded 1,000 people.
In addition to the hundreds of people from the Qian Mansion, dozens of other people were already present.
Mo Xuan didn't know him, and Xue Yue explained that the dozens of people were from the Li Mansion in the Eight Mansions.
After Qian Zhen got out of the carriage south, among the dozens of people in the Li Mansion, an old man with a pair of white eyebrows stood up and bowed to him from a distance.
Although Qian Zhennan had no one in his eyes, he was busy returning the gift to this old man.
This old man with a pair of white eyebrows is none other than Li Tianqing, the lord of the Li Mansion, and he is also the oldest of the lords of the Eight Mansions today, and he is the elder of Qian Zhennan in terms of seniority.
In the venue, there were already people from the City Lord's Mansion leading Qian Zhennan and other hundred people into a platform and sat down.
Soon, another group of people arrived.
This group of people are all wearing white clothes and black pants, and all of them are full of energy and extraordinary spirit.
Listening to Xueyue's introduction, Mo Xuan knew that this was someone from the Zhao Mansion.
After that, it was the people of Snow Mansion who came.
Fifty or sixty people came to the Snow Mansion, and the leader was Xue Wenda, the lord of the Snow Mansion.
Fifty or sixty people escorted a huge carriage, and the war beasts trampled on the bluestone avenue, making a crisp sound that attracted people's attention.
Mo Xuan didn't need to look to know that this giant carriage contained the bronze bell of the Snow Mansion Ancestral Weapon.
Now he already knew that this ancestor worship ceremony was only related to the things sealed in the ancient well.
It is even related to the ancestral artifacts of various prefectures.
That's why Bafu will bring ancestral weapons to participate in the ceremony.
Xue Yue hurriedly rushed over and joined the Snow Mansion.
With her and Mo Xuan's identities, she can't enter, and she can only join with the help of Snow Mansion.
Xue Wenda saw Mo Xuan, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded very politely.
Mo Xuan also bowed slightly to him.
In front of everyone, you can't help but give this lord a little face.
Xue Qingshan also came, and when he saw Xue Yue, he wanted to reproach him, but he couldn't say anything, he only shook his head.
Fortunately, this baby daughter is fine, and seeing that she is with Mo Xuan, I don't have to say much.
As for the girl Xue Yue carried, he just glanced at it strangely and didn't speak.
His daughter has been an elf since she was a child, and now she suddenly brings a child to play, and he doesn't think it's unusual.
Xue Yue took Nan Nan and Mo Xuan together to blend into the team of the Snow Mansion and entered together.
When the guards saw this, they understood that they were also from the Snow Mansion, so naturally they would not stop them and let them in.
was led to the platform where the snow mansion was located, and everyone got off the war beasts one after another, and dozens of war beasts were guarding the surroundings, most of these war beasts were psychic, and under the orders of the master, they were sitting or lying, and they were very quiet.
After that, the Qiu Mansion and the Fang Mansion in the Eight Prefectures came one after another, and there were more and more people around.
Mo Xuan's induction became stronger and stronger, and he sensed more and more ancestral spirits.
Among the six mansions that appeared, including Xuefu, Qianfu, Lifu, Zhaofu, Qiufu and Fangfu, except for Qiufu and Lifu, the other four mansions all had ancestral weapons.
The four ancestral weapons are gathered together, and the spirits of the ancestral weapons faintly sense each other, like excitement and rivalry, and the atmosphere is weird.
Soon, a large group of people and horses appeared guarding a carriage, and Mo Xuan saw it from a distance, and the people from He Mansion finally came.
Seeing this large group of people, many people began to whisper.
"This year, the patron saint of Hefu, the white jade dragon elephant, did not come, and it will appear in the ancestor worship ceremony in previous years. ”
"Look at that carriage, could it be that this year's He Mansion is finally going to take out their ancestral weapons?"
"This is strange, He Fu has participated in the ancestor worship ceremony for so many years, there are no ancestral weapons, all white jade dragon elephants replace ancestral weapons, since the white jade dragon elephant did not come this year, it seems that the ancestral weapons are really going to be used. ”
"I don't know what the ancestral weapon of He Mansion is, it can be said that the ancestral weapon of Eight Mansions, and the ancestral weapon of He Mansion is the most mysterious. ”
"Of course, I heard that it has not appeared for so many years, and many people have rumored that He Fu has no ancestral weapons, but the white jade dragon elephant is holding on. ”
Amid the whispers of many people, dozens of people from He Fu entered.
Xueyue saw He Jing among the dozens of people in He Mansion.
After He Jing experienced the previous blow, he now seemed to have stepped out of that shadow, his expression was calm, and his eyes were shining with a terrifying light, he guarded the front of the carriage, and under the leadership of a group of He Mansion elders, he went to the platform where He Mansion was located.
After He Jing sat down, his eyes swept to Xuefu, he quickly saw Xueyue, and then saw Mo Xuan beside Xueyue.
His face changed slightly, and he quickly turned away from his face and returned to his normal expression.
The eight mansions of "Baixuan City" have already come to seven mansions, and now only the last mansion is missing.
In addition to the seven mansions of "Baixuan City", there were other large and small forces, and even major forces from other cities came to watch the ceremony.
Includes characters from the nine clans of "Rock Sky City".
Among these people, those who do not have a general status are placed in a separate tent on the periphery, with special chairs and stools to sit on.
As for some small people or idle people, etc., they can only stand and watch from a distance.
"City Lord Ji is here. ”
There was a slight commotion in the crowd outside.
The head of the Eight Mansions, the Ji clan of the City Lord's Mansion, has absolute power in the "Baixuan City".
The current lord of the Ji Mansion, who is also the lord of the "Baixuan City", Ji Wuwu, led hundreds of strong men of the Ji clan, and finally appeared.
Ji Wuwu is well maintained, although he is nearly sixty years old, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties.
With a smile on his face, he walked at the front of the group.
The lord of the castle descended and attracted the attention of all parties.
At the same time, what attracted everyone's attention was a young man beside him.
The young man was wearing a white shirt, shaking a folding fan in his hand, his expression was a little frivolous, and his eyes swept the faces of the beautiful girls in the crowd from time to time, which was annoying.
As the lord of a city, Ji Wuwu was accompanying this young man at this moment, with a smile on his face, and he kept whispering something to this young man.
The young man mumbled a few times in his mouth and nodded casually, obviously focusing on some beautiful girls around him, and didn't pay much attention to Ji Wuwu's words.
Behind Ji Wuwu was a young man, about twenty years old, with a heroic face, holding a sword wrapped in cloth in both hands, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with an extraordinary spirit.
Xue Yue introduced to Mo Xuan in a low voice, this young man holding the sword was Ji Yan, the son of Ji Wuwu.
This Ji Yan boy became famous, known as the first talent of the young generation of "Baixuan City", and he is also the most famous of the young generation.
At this moment, Ji Yan stared at the young man who was shaking the folding fan, and there was a faint anger in his eyes.
It's just that he seems to have some kind of scruples, and his anger is hidden in the bottom of his heart and can't come out.
This made Ji Wuwu personally accompany the young man who was, but no one could recognize it, and everyone who saw this scene was secretly surprised.
The arrival of the City Lord's Mansion and his entourage means that the ancestor worship ceremony will begin immediately.
Ji Wuwu climbed the high platform, looked around, and saw that everyone in the eight prefectures had arrived, cleared his throat, and then spoke: "The ancestor worship ceremony is a triennial event in our Baixuan City. ”
After speaking, he glanced at his son Ji Yan who was holding the sword behind him, and continued: "The sacrificial son of our Ji Mansion this year is still Ji Yan. ”
Ji Yan bowed slightly, holding the sword wrapped in layers of white cloth in his arms, his body was vertical, and he swept up in the air, two verticals, and boarded the giant ring.
