Chapter 42: The Ritual of the Festival
When everyone found their place under the guidance of the sacrificial disciples, they quietly waited for the auspicious time to come.
At this time, only the Great Elder Shang Qingtai was left on the nine-story altar, because only the spirit god could preside over this kind of ritual activity.
With a low and distant bell that rang through the Green Cow City, Shang Qingtai threw the lineage table in his hand into the sky and shouted: "Ancestors, please"
Then one after another, the aura of heaven and earth frantically surged towards the lineage table, and finally condensed a statue that was zhang high and glowing with a faint purple qi, which was the first generation of the Shang family's ancestor.
At the same time, behind the statue, one by one lilac names slowly manifested and suspended in the air, which was the name of the ancestors of the Shang family for generations.
At this time, the disciples under the nine-story altar knelt down and began to pray to the ancestors silently, while some direct disciples stood on each altar in turn.
Shang Jin was standing on the eighth layer of the altar, looking extremely shocking, although he could also condense in the void, but it was definitely not up to the dazzling level of the Great Elder.
At the beginning, I knew that I was engaged in a sacrifice, and if I didn't know, I probably thought I was making a blockbuster, no wonder only the spirit god could preside over this festival.
That's it, those guys who watched the live broadcast, the ticket money was worth it. MD, do you want to charge for a long time, and wait for the meeting to start charging money once?
Just when Shang Jin was thinking wildly, Shang Qingtai started the next move, which was Shangxiang, and this incense was naturally not an ordinary incense.
Instead, it is made of special demon beast blood, and when burned, it produces a golden smoke, which lingers around the statue like a spirit, and then slowly spreads to the names suspended in the air.
After the incense, he began to read the blessings, and the spirits read the blessings naturally differently, and every word seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, communicating with the distant ancestors, and it was grand and shocking.
A congratulatory text was read for half an hour, and then it was followed by the offering of rice soup, tea, silk, wine, food box, meat, blessing, burning of blessings, and prostration, and the whole sacrificial ceremony was almost over.
Under normal circumstances, after the resignation, when all the disciples have risen, the festival will be completed. However, Shang Qingtai's purpose is not just to sacrifice his ancestors, but to attack Shang Jin.
So, a loud prayer sounded on the stage: "Today, Shang Qingtai, the descendant of Buxiao, prayed to the ancestors for the development of our clan, Shang Yuenan has not returned to the clan for three years, according to the ancestral canon under the witness of today's ancestors, cancel the position of the patriarch and set up another patriarch." ”
Suddenly, thousands of disciples below shouted in unison: "May there be another patriarch"
Shang Jin and the others knew about this matter in advance, and the ancestral scriptures had this provision, so they knew that this was an established fact and could not be changed, so they did not speak, waiting for the next point.
Then everyone waited for a minute, and the golden smoke that lingered outside the statue and the name did not change, so Shang Qingtai said again: "This is determined"
"The previous family has not returned for three years, things are chaotic, the family is in danger, there are great enemies outside, and the disciples are not successful, at this time of crisis, the new patriarch must have strong strength, excellent judgment, rich experience, and the disciple Shang Qingtai is willing to do his best for the family and die, hoping that the ancestors will be perfect" Shang Qingtai knelt and kowtowed.
Originally, they planned to push Shang Mingfei to the position of patriarch, and Shang Qingtai continued to serve as the great elder, but Shang Jin's adventures sprung up one after another, and then let Shang Mingfei go up, and it was not good to mess up, so he gritted his teeth, and Shang Qingtai went directly on his own, after all, strength is still a reason for the past.
As soon as these words came out, the golden smoke that had not dispersed for a long time quickly flowed, as if its ancestors were really communicating, anyway, this situation was to suppress Shang Jin, could there still be ghosts in this world?
At this time, it was natural that Shang Jin and Shang Mingce would not be the first to stand up and oppose it, which would not only affect the reputation of the two, but also be detrimental to the actions in the future, so according to the plan, he spoke to Shang Mingwu on the seventh floor of the altar.
"The descendants of Shang Mingwu do not agree, according to the position of the head of the ancestral family, it should be inherited by the young master Shang Jin, how can the great elder be able to bow and die with all his might"
After the first person jumped out, it was naturally lively, Shang Mingqing on the altar and some ordinary disciples below echoed one after another: "Young master succession" "Young master succession"
Shang Mingfei, who was also standing on the seventh floor, naturally did not sit idly by, and shouted loudly: "Shang Mingfei is not convinced, this is a time when the family is in danger, the young master is still young, he has no rich experience, and he has no strong strength, and during the absence of the old patriarch, he has not taken on the responsibilities that the young master should bear, how can he inherit the position of the head of the family?"
So there was another echo that resounded through the sky: "He De He Can" "He De He Can"
Just when the two sides were arguing fiercely, the world of jade seals was also boiling, and the people who ate melons who originally just wanted to see the big family festival ceremony found that this was actually a tearing war of family infighting, and they cheered excitedly.
", how did this work, didn't you say goodbye to your ancestors and it's over?"
"Brother upstairs, didn't you spend a tael of silver just to come and see the Shang family's martial arts?"
"This is the rhythm of the real fight, there were rumors in the clan before that I didn't believe it, but it's really pitiful, the good young master hasn't enjoyed it for a few years, and he's going to be hanged, bitter."
"Seeing them shouting like this, it is estimated that the spirit god is going to make a move, and there is a silent mourning for the crippled Shang Waste"
"What do you think about Shang Waste, the spirits have jumped out and gone into battle shirtless and masturbated in person, and he still dares to go up, so he will obey this courage."
"Isn't he going to go up, don't you see that some little minions are shouting, no one is talking"
"Brother, watching the live broadcast with brains, without his instructions, these people dare to jump out and be strong?"
"Damn, I'm embarrassed that you're still screaming, people are very awesome now, okay?"
"the groove, the three heroes have appeared again"
"Lord Ritian, come to me"
"I love you, day by day"
"Hahaha, Li Ritian, look at what everyone calls it"
"Shangguan, Shangguan also came out"
"Lord Shangguan, I actually love you"
"Why didn't anyone ask Shang Waste what's going on?"
Shang Jin naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the lively live broadcast hall, and at this time, Shang Mingce and the third elder Shang Feng also began to fight, and the popularity escalated linearly, it seemed that if there was no altar, he would have to fight first.
"Now that the ancestors have allowed the old family to abdicate, the position of the young master of Shang Jin naturally does not exist, and how can he take on this great responsibility at a young age, I support the great elder to take the position of the head of the family. ”
"The old patriarch abdicated, and the rules set before were not counted?
When Shang Mingce heard this, he immediately found the loophole, went directly to the platform, and buckled off a big hat.
However, without waiting for him to take advantage of the victory to pursue, Shang Qingtai shouted loudly throughout the world: "Silence" made the entire square quiet.
"I don't know how the young master understands the position of the head of the family?" Shang Qingtai is going to directly force Shang Jin to speak, and such a big topic, no matter how you say it, there will be loopholes, as long as you can catch one of them, you can beat it down, after all, what others say is still very different from what you say in person.
However, Shang Jin is not stupid, and he answered the question directly: "Since today is the day of sacrifice, under the witness of all the ancestors, it is natural to act according to the rules set by the ancestors."
I have a J8 understanding, the ancestors have said, the young master is directly the head of the family, what else do I need to understand? Are you stupid?
