Chapter 36: Ancestor Worship
In the Pu family, above the lobby, the patriarch Pu Yuelin and several elders did not close their eyes all night.
In front of them, stood several disciples such as Shen Yu, Han Chen, and the injured Pu Wei. After the bandaging and treatment of the patriarch elders, although there were no casualties, there were many serious injuries. Pu Wei, in particular, was impaled through the lobes of his lungs. If you don't manage it well, you may end up with asthma in the future.
"Just one rayleigh almost wiped you out, hehe. The corners of Pu Yuelin's mouth flashed with an indescribable bitter smile. The younger generations are like this, and he, who is the patriarch, is the saddest.
After listening to the causes and consequences of everyone's story, deep helplessness and self-deprecation came to my heart. If the youth is strong, the family is strong. The younger generations are not as good as others, and the future of the Pu family is worrying.
"Big brother, let them rest first!" Pu Yuehua said.
"Go!" Pu Yuelin waved his hand and signaled to Shenyu, and Pu Wei and the others left first.
After Hanchen and them left, only the two Pu Yuelin brothers and a few important elders and high-ranking people were left in the hall. The atmosphere was rather heavy, almost breathless.
In another half a month, the battle of the annual meeting. One Situ Feng, one Reilly. I'm afraid that the people in the entire Linxing City think that the two of them will compete for the championship in the end.
"Well, stand down too!"
"Big brother. Pu Yuehua clenched her fists, her eyes flashed with determination, "Big brother, we can't bear it anymore." If we don't take action, after the annual meeting, my Pu family will definitely be suppressed. ”
"That's right, Patriarch. The little cub of the Lei family has bullied us, it is tolerable, which is unbearable. ”
"Big brother, worship your ancestors!"
Pu Yuehua's eyes were dancing with scorching flames, and the other elders all showed solemn expressions. Everyone lowered their heads and said in unison, "Patriarch, for the sake of the future of the Pu family, the only way to disturb the ancestor and his old man is to disturb him." ”
Pu Yuelin fell into silence, and there was an indescribable solemnity between her eyebrows. In their Pu family, there is actually a secret that no one knows......
"What's the secret?" In the garden pavilion, Hanchen looked at the deep rain in front of him in surprise.
Shen Yu's little hand held his chin, his beautiful eyes welled up with a faint melancholy, his red lips moved slightly, and he said, "A long, long time ago, our Pu family was very powerful, and it can even be said that it is the overlord of the dominant side. And at that time, the Pu family was a special race, and I can't say what was special. ”
In those years, there was an amazing talent in the Pu family. The brilliance of the stars leads the family to prosperity, and that person is the ancestor of the Pu family, Pu Miling!
"And after that?"
"After the ancestors fell, my Pu family gradually withered. Nearly a thousand years have passed, and it has fallen to the point where it is now. There was a hint of strangeness in Shenyu's tone, and her beautiful eyes raised lightly, and she said softly, "In the backyard of our house, there are still statues of our ancestors. When I was a child, I heard my father say that in that statue, there is a power passed down from the ancestors. ”
The power inherited by the ancestors? Hanchen couldn't help but be stunned, since the ancestors of the Pu family were so powerful before, the power of inheritance left behind must be extraordinary, so why didn't Pu Yuelin accept that inheritance?
Shenyu also saw Hanchen's confusion and continued to explain, "At first, I also wondered why our family was still in ruins with the inheritance of our ancestors. My father told me that my grandfather left a testament before he died, and the family was not allowed to use the ancestral inheritance until the time of life and death. ”
"It seems that there are a lot of twists and turns. ”
"Yes, I sneaked into the basement out of curiosity and saw the statue of my ancestors!" When Shen Yu said this, there was obviously a trace of fear and uneasiness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and Hanchen didn't notice it.
The two did not continue to discuss the topic of the ancestors of the Pu family, but because of the incident last night, Shenyu was not in a very good mood.
At the same time, she also knew that the relationship between Pu, Lei, and Situ was particularly tense now. Especially because of his own reasons, it is very likely that the family will suffer a double blow, and there is a faint self-blame in his heart.
That night, Pu Yuelin suddenly gathered all the members of the family and announced the ancestor worship!
As soon as this news came out, the entire family went up and down, setting off a lot of turmoil. The door of the house was closed, and everyone, including Hanchen, gathered in the backyard.
In the backyard, several incense tables are full of offerings. Generally, this ancestor worship is carried out during the day, but the Pu family is at night, which makes Hanchen feel a little surprised.
Directly opposite the desk is a rockery with strange rocks. Shenyu whispered to Hanchen, "Because it is necessary to hide people's eyes and ears, the sculpture of the ancestors is placed under the rockery. ”
Hanchen couldn't help but smile, Shenyu told him the secret to him, an outsider, and he was not afraid of shaking it out by himself. However, now the people of the Pu family regard Hanchen as the uncle of the family, except for a few people who know the inside story. Others really thought that Hanchen had made Shenyu's belly bigger.
Pu Yuelin took the lead and stood in front of the incense case, and behind him were Pu Yuehua and the elders of the clan. The second is some of the more important disciples.
"Unfilial heir Yuelin, disturb the ancestors, and hope that the ancestors will forgive me. Pu Yuelin showed a solemn expression, lit three incense sticks, and bowed three times.
The more confused Hanchen became, according to common sense, ancestor worship can be said to be a major event in every family. If you don't worship your ancestors, then you are guilty. But Pu Yuelin is just the opposite, in his opinion, ancestor worship has become a wrong thing to disturb the ancestors. What's the secret? It's curious.
"Honor your ancestors, all the members of my family, kneel and knock!" shouted a middle-aged man dressed as a deacon.
Everyone in the audience knelt down. Only Hanchen stood in place, thinking that this was not his ancestor, and he was not the Pu family, so he shouldn't have to kneel!
Seeing this, the deacon couldn't help frowning, and continued, "Please also ask Uncle Hanchen to kneel and bow to honor the ancestors." ”
Uncle, Hanchen almost didn't get depressed by this title and spit out a mouthful of blood. But seeing a pair of eyes coming, in desperation, he had no choice but to kneel down.
Shen Yu held back a smile and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'll compensate you for your mental loss, hehe." ”
The corners of Hanchen's eyes twitched, and he had the urge to strangle the other party. I secretly muttered in my heart, "The ancestors of the Han family are above, and today's things are definitely not my wishes." ”
"One knock!"
"Two knocks!"
"Three knocks!" ......
Under the deacon's high voice, Hanchen gritted his teeth and completed the kneeling and bowing together. Needless to say, it must be a stomach of unwillingness.
After another period of tedious etiquette, the crowd stood up. Patriarch Pu Yuelin's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. And, there's a hint of fanaticism. Bypassing the desk, walking in front of the rockery, he first stomped lightly with his left foot three times, and then stomped twice with his right foot.
Thundered!
With the sound of friction between the stone walls, in a pair of expectant eyes, a stone door slowly opened on the rockery. A pitch-black hole unfolded in front of everyone's eyes.
Hanchen secretly exclaimed, what a subtle mechanism. Pu Yuelin showed the method of entering in public, and thought that it would not be long before he would modify it.
"All the disciples who have reached the Qi refining stage or above will all go down with me. Pu Yuelin turned around and shouted in a deep voice.
There was obviously a trace of turmoil in the scene, and everyone who was above the Qi refining period had a joy on their faces that could not be concealed. Even Pu Yuehua and several elders were no exception.
What's in it? What are the benefits of it? Will so many people be overwhelmed?
"I, I don't want to go. A crisp voice with a hint of weakness, Qi Shushu's gaze swept over, who would it be if it wasn't Shenyu?
Pu Yuelin is angry and loving for this daughter. It's not good to pamper, but it's the itchy teeth that are angry. "Yu'er, don't mess around in front of your ancestors. ”
Shen Yu's little hand tightly pinched his shirt, lowered his head, and whispered, "I really don't want to go, Dad, don't force me anymore." ”
"You. ”
"Alright, alright, big brother. Pu Yuehua hurriedly stopped Pu Yuelin, who was about to do it, "If Yu'er doesn't want to go, don't go! In front of the old man of the ancestors, don't be angry." ”
After carrying out the ancestors, Pu Yuelin had no choice but to give up, breathe a deep sigh of relief, and after snorting coldly, he took the lead in the passage. Pu Yuehua and several elders followed, followed by the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm, 66 who continued to enter.
Before worshipping his ancestors, Pu Yuelin handed over the affairs of the family to several other elders, after all, someone had to stay and preside. Those disciples who did not reach the Qi Refining Realm, while regretting, secretly shook their heads at Shen Yu, such a good opportunity, I don't cherish it, I really don't know what she thinks.
"Uncle, please come in too!" the deacon made a gesture of invitation to Hanchen just now.
"Huh?" Han Chen was stunned for a moment, first glanced at Shenyu, and then pointed to himself, "Can I go in too?"
"Hehe, of course. You are the uncle of my Pu family, and naturally you are also a member of the family. ”
Hearing the deacon say this, even Shenyu's pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and her beautiful eyes flashed with shallow soft waves, "If you want to go, go ahead!"
