Chapter 22: The Grand Return

On the main peak of Hengshan, the lanterns are colorful. A strong festive atmosphere,

The main peak square is the largest platform in Hengshan, and when the first generation of patriarchs was built, it could only accommodate more than 1,000 people. However, after 3,000 years of continuous expansion and repair, today's main peak platform is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.

At this time, everyone who came to the main peak had a strange brilliance on their faces.

Whether their inner world is happy or not, but what is expressed in their countenances is indeed a joy.

Today is the grandest celebration of the Hengshan Pulse in decades, and since Elder Yu Xichen set foot in the Innate Sixty Years ago, it has not been so lively for a whole year.

Those old people who had attended the party 60 years ago, after seeing this scene, were all embarrassed, pointing at their juniors, and nagging about what they had seen and heard in the past.

The vast majority of the young people were ready to move, and their eyes turned to the entrance of the main peak square from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

There are countless peaks around the Yokoyama lineage, but there are only six peaks that are really important. In addition to the main peak and elixir peak, it is the Wind and Fire Peak, the Spirit Jade Peak, the Thumb Peak, and the Guangsha Peak.

For more than 3,000 years, among these six peaks, there have been countless innate powerhouses, which have become the core pillars of the Hengshan lineage. Of course, there have been many innate powerhouses on the rest of the small peaks, but unfortunately, the innate people on those small peaks are like a flash in the pan, and basically there is no continuous situation. Therefore, after the death of the innate powerhouses on the head of the small peak, their disciples and descendants will basically return to these six great peaks, waiting for a new round of rise.

Today, there are more than 2,000 people in the entire Hengshan Mountain, and they have lived in this kind of place with beautiful mountains and rivers for a long time, and their martial arts cultivation is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people in the outside world. Among the acquired powerhouses, there are also dozens of people who have reached the tenth layer of internal strength.

But in this Jiazi, there is no longer a new generation of strong people who are promoted to innate powerhouses with their own efforts.

This is the same pain in the hearts of all people in Hengshan, but on this day, everyone knows that He Wude, an outcast of Hengshan, not only found two innate inner pills, but also introduced his grandson He Yiming, the young and excessively congenital powerhouse, into the wall of Hengshan Gate.

This is undoubtedly an effective shot in the arm for all Hengshan disciples, and at this moment, as long as it is a disciple who can arrive. I have already come to the main peak square.

Except for the necessary left-behind personnel at the peaks, as well as some old and weak women and children who really can't come, no one is absent anymore.

"Master, is Elder He really only seventeen years old?"

"Nonsense, don't you even believe the words of the Grand Master?"

"I believe, but can a seventeen-year-old really step into the innate world?"

"This ...... I guess it's okay. ”

Similar conversations were whispered from every corner of the square.

Although He Yiming has been in Hengshan for several months, he doesn't like to move around, except for the alchemy room and medicine garden in the main peak library and the elixir peak, he basically doesn't leave home.

In this case, apart from the disciples of the Elixir Peak, even if he was a disciple of the main peak, not many people had seen his true face, let alone the rest of the disciples of the various peaks.

Therefore, for this Elder He, who has not yet met but is already famous, they all have an inexplicable expectation in their hearts.

Finally, a huge bell rang on the top of the mountain, and then a solemn atmosphere spread in an instant.

The entire main peak square was suddenly silent, and even the faintest whispers disappeared completely.

The bell on the top of the mountain is not something that can be struck casually, and it can only be struck when the Yokoyama dynasties encountered extremely important events. Open the Hall of Ancestors.

Today's giant bell is striking for the new innate powerhouse.

The innate powerhouse, in any sect, is a pivotal figure. Once such a strong person is born in the sect, then it is not an exaggeration to hold a big celebration.

Slowly, the gate facing the square slowly opened, led by Yu Jinglei, followed by the three innate elders.

The four most important and powerful people of the Yokoyama Ichimaichi slowly walked out of the gate one after another.

The eyes of the four of them swept over the steps like electricity, and everyone below, whether it was a gray-haired old man or a five-year-old child who had just begun to practice internal strength, all lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at them.

After a while, Yu Jinglei nodded slowly, and Yu Xichen suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "The disciples of the main peak listen to the order, and the ancestral hall is opened." ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at the top of the mountain in unison, and their eyes were full of admiration and respect.

Everyone knows that those who can enter the ancestral hall and bear the offerings of the children of the past generations are all strong people in the innate realm. They are all the proudest figures in the 3,000-year history of Yokoyama.

Everyone here hopes to be able to advance to the innate in their lifetime, so that when they die, they will be able to enjoy the qualifications to enter the Ancestral Master Hall.

However, this wish is unattainable for most people.

The heavy bronze door slowly opened as far as everyone could see, and I don't know who took the lead, when the bronze door was completely opened. Except for the four innate elders, the rest of the people had already knelt respectfully on the ground.

Yu Jinglei personally lit the first pillar of incense for the ancestors, followed by the three elders, as well as the principals of each peak, as well as all the acquired peak powerhouses whose internal strength had reached the tenth layer.

Everyone who is qualified to incense is the mainstay of the Yokoyama lineage. If the ancestors in the ancestral hall founded the foundation of Hengshan, then these people today are the absolute pillars that support this piece of heaven.

They also ushered in a look of envy and jealousy, and I don't know how many people below have made up their minds to work hard after seeing this scene, and finally become the peak master of the day after tomorrow, and even the powerhouse of the innate realm.

Every time the Patriarch Hall is opened, it is a rare experience for many disciples, and it is also a strong stimulation for them.

Yu Jinglei and the other four elders took this scene into their eyes, and they exchanged a look, and they were all extremely satisfied in their hearts.

These people sighed secretly in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that the Ancestral Hall couldn't be disturbed casually, they really wanted to open it every ten or twenty years.

Everyone who enters the ancestral hall to offer incense is extremely religious, and their movements are stable and impeccable.

Finally, when everyone finished offering incense, Yu Xichen said loudly: "Bow down to the ancestors." ”

This time. Even Yu Jinglei himself fell to his knees.

Under this solemn atmosphere, even those who were originally insincere in their hearts reined in their minds and bowed down wholeheartedly.

After a long time, when all the memorial process was completed, the people stood up.

Yu Xichen's voice was loud and solemn: "The ancestors of the past dynasties have witnessed, and He Wude stepped forward. ”

"Yes......"

An equally loud but old-fashioned voice came from the entrance to the plaza.

Everyone looked there, and saw that a gray-haired, but energetic old man had already appeared at the entrance of the square.

Howood's excited gaze rolled across the square, where he had been more than forty years ago. He was expelled from the door wall by Yu Thunder.

At that time, on the square, the eyes of countless people were full of disdain and disdain.

He dreamed of returning to the door, and he never wanted to fight for it.

Now, the eyes of the nearly 2,000 people here looking at him are already full of envy.

Let a sect outcast re-enter the main peak square of the important land, and it is still under the condition that the ancestral hall is wide open......

He Wude took a deep breath, his eyes were full of pride, in this life, he did not live in vain after all!

Walking step by step in the direction of the ancestral hall, the crowd in the square naturally separated, leaving a straight and wide avenue for him in the center, as if welcoming a triumphant general, giving him the most noble welcome ceremony.

He Wude's face flushed abnormally from excessive excitement, he knew that only the innate elders could enjoy this kind of etiquette before.

And the reason why Yu Jinglei specially arranged such a grand return ceremony for him was to compensate for his regret of being expelled from the wall in the past.

Of course, He Wude knows better that he can get this kind of over-standard treatment, and it is entirely because of He Yiming. If there is no such congenital grandson, then even if he gets back the two innate inner pills, he will not have the scenery he has today.

Although He Wude was satisfied and wanted to go on, the straight line from the entrance of the square to the ancestral hall always had a moment of completion.

When he came to the Patriarch Hall, even if he was still unsatisfied, he still stopped, knelt down respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "Hengshan outcast He Wude pays a visit to the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Yu Xichen nodded slightly, and said loudly: "The ancestors of the past dynasties have witnessed that although He Wude was expelled from the door wall by Hengshan, he has no regrets for decades and has always been concerned about Hengshan. This time, He Wude made a great contribution to my Hengshan and introduced Elder He Yiming to join the sect. In view of this, the elders of this sect decided to restore the status of He Wude Hengshan's disciple. He suddenly turned around and shouted, "He Wude." Would you like to go back to the wall?"

He Wude raised his head, and the voice from his heart burst out of his mouth: "The disciple is willing." ”

His voice rumbled like thunder in the square, echoing in everyone's ears with endless echoes.

As if moved by the sincerity in this voice, for a while, the entire square was silent again, and everyone looked at He Wude, and their hearts were filled with different emotions.

They asked themselves, if they got along with each other, would they be able to be like Howude?

Slowly, most people's eyes contained more or less admiration, because they knew that their feelings for Hengshan were not as good as this pious white-haired old man.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times in front of the ancestral tablets in the Patriarch Hall, He Wude came to the front of the medicine man, knelt down heavily, and said, "Master, the disciple is back." ”

When he returned to the Elixir Peak and met the Medicine Dao people for the first time, he also said this sentence. And at this moment, when he officially recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors under the witness of more than 1,000 people up and down the Hengshan lineage, he still said this sentence.

However, the meanings represented by the two successive times are completely different.

At this moment, countless old people felt a different feeling in their hearts, and they seemed to remember that scene more than forty years ago.

At that time, no one would have thought that He Wude would not only be able to return to the door wall, but also be able to be so beautiful.

The medicine man pulled He Wu up, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Wude, you go down." ”

He Wude answered, turned around and came to the area where the disciples of Elixir Peak were located. Everyone led by He Wujin sincerely congratulated him, and He Wujin himself shook hands with him heavily.

Four big hands clasped together, and a thousand words are all in this.

Yu Jinglei took a step slowly, and Yu Xichen retreated very interestingly, he knew that his task today had been completed.

After seeing Yu Jinglei stand up, the square naturally fell silent, and of course they understood the reason why the most noble person in Hengshan appeared.

After He Wude's return, the atmosphere in the square has been invisibly pushed to the **, and at this moment, everyone is looking sideways, staring at the thunder on the steps that is like a god in their hearts.

The old man's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "I have a greeting to congratulate you." ”

His voice rang out, and everyone looked at the entrance of the plaza again.

There, empty......

Just when everyone was suspicious, a figure suddenly appeared.

This is a young man, his face does not have anything prominent, but a pair of eyes are as bright as stars, and anyone who touches his eyes trembles in their hearts, and unconsciously lowers their eyes, and no one dares to look directly at him.

However, except for those limited people who had already seen He Yiming, the hearts of the rest of the people were filled with infinite emotion.

Although before this, they already knew that He Yiming was only seventeen years old, but hearing with their ears and seeing it with their own eyes were two completely different concepts.

When they saw He Yiming's age with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was indeed far beyond what pen and ink could describe. Among them, the deepest feeling is still those acquired peak powerhouses whose internal strength has reached the tenth layer, and their eyes are far more complicated than ordinary disciples.

He Yiming raised his feet, and like He Wude, he stepped step by step across the avenue among more than 1,000 people and came to the front of the Patriarch Hall.

The moment he came here, he clearly felt the tremendous pressure caused by the countless sights behind him.

Although He Wude was a tenth-layer master of internal strength, he was not an innate powerhouse after all, so he couldn't feel how powerful the pressure was when so many people's eyes were condensed into a point.

However, He Yiming could clearly sense it, and he found that since there were more than 1,000 people here, every one of them was an acquired cultivator who had achieved cultivation, and among them, there were dozens of people at the tenth level of internal strength. So in comparison, the pressure they brought to themselves was far greater than the pressure brought by the eyes of thousands of people around them when they fought against Cheng Fu in the past.

However, as a congenital powerhouse, He Yiming only had a straight back, and the true qi on his body was constantly circulating, and he suddenly became nothing.

He suddenly remembered the New Year's competition with his brothers of the same generation in Hejiazhuang in the past.

At that time, under the gaze of hundreds of family servants, he was a little frightened, but now in the eyes of thousands of acquired cultivators, he was frank and indifferent.

In just a few years, everything he has experienced has made him grow rapidly.

At this moment, he actually had a feeling of being in a different world......

"He Yiming. Yu Jinglei coughed lightly, he stared at He Yiming's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you willing to join me in the Hengshan lineage." ”

He Yiming raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and the confusion in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by the same solemnity.

"Yes. ”

From his mouth, these two words were clearly spit out.

The sound of these two words was not very loud, but in this silent square that seemed to be the sound of falling pins, it was undoubtedly as loud as a thunderbolt.

Even the four elders, who had long known the answer, breathed a long sigh of relief at this moment, and they glanced at each other, with indescribable joy in their eyes.

"Good. Yu thundered and shouted heavily, and then said in a loud voice: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, from today on, He Yiming joined the Hengshan First Line and became my fourth innate elder in Hengshan." ”

He turned around and knelt down first, beside him, as did the Medicine Dao Man and the others.

He Yiming then "heard", and behind him, everyone fell to their knees again, even his grandfather He Wude.

Although there is no one to instruct, in this case, as long as you are not an idiot, you know what to do. He Yiming immediately knelt down from the good and became an ordinary member of the crowd.

The joining of the innate powerhouse is obviously much more grand than letting He Wude return to the door wall, under the personal auspices of Thunder, He Yiming not only bowed three times and bowed nine times to the founding patriarch of Hengshan, but also accompanied by several elders, he got to know all the tablets in the hall, and learned about some of the deeds of these ancestors.

It was a full day before the ceremony came to an end.

In the end, Yu Jinglei dismissed all the disciples in the square, and several elders were in front of the ancestor hall, Yu Jinglei solemnly took out a bronze medal and said, "Elder He, this is the certificate of my Hengshan Yimai elder, please accept it and keep it properly." ”

He Yiming took it with both hands, looking at the misty mountains engraved on the bronze medal, he knew that this was the natural environment around Hengshan Yimai.

In particular, the main peak of Hengshan is even higher into the sky, as if it goes straight to the sky.

The moment he received this bronze medal in his hand, He Yiming knew that he had officially become a member of Hengshan, and his fate would be firmly linked to this great sect until the end of his life......
