Chapter 370: Gongyao Ancestral Hall

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, but you can't usually invite a distinguished guest who you want to invite! We don't have anything else from home, we have enough to eat, and we can manage enough people to live. ”

But that's what I said, but the current decline of the Congjia is also in my eyes, once upon a time, what kind of family was the Chengde Congjia? It is similar to the status of the Dong family in Changchun now. Look at it now, there are only 3 people left in the family and a few subordinates guarding such a big old mansion, and it is estimated that it is similar to the experience of Benxi Chen Dashan.

The sky in Chengde is brighter than Changchun, after all, it is the westernmost part of the Northeast. At more than five o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, Wushuang washed and dressed neatly, and followed Ma Fuxiang according to his seniority, Ma Erye, Lan Caidie, Liu Mazi, and the three brothers of the Fang family, from the Red Tiger...... A column of thieves, mighty towards the gourd mountain's Gongyao Temple.

Hulu Mountain is opposite Erlong Mountain, when the Gongyao Temple was built, it was Mo Xiaoqi who chose the site, when Wu Gongyao had disappeared for more than a year, he said before leaving, if he didn't come back after a year, he would die.

Why do you want to build the Gongyao Temple opposite Erlong Mountain? Erlong Mountain is buried with thieves who died on the battlefield during the anti-Japanese period, and Wu Gongyao can look at each other from afar to bless these old brothers to be reincarnated as soon as possible. Moreover, the geographical location of Chengde is almost the westernmost part of the Northeast, and it also happens to be the westernmost barrier of the Thief's sphere of influence, Wu Gongyao's Dharma Body is looking at the entire Northeast land on Hulu Mountain, which is also the glory of the Thief Door, the glory of the Northeast people!

Hulu Mountain is a large mountain range, bordering Chengde Summer Resort in the south and Horqin Prairie in the north, which was the royal hunting place of the Qing Dynasty in the past. If you take a plane and look down from the sky, the shape of the mountain range is like the shape of a gourd, and the Gongyao Temple is located on the top of the mountain entrance to the mountain pass, which happens to be the gourd mouth of this gourd.

Wushuang took his subordinates up the mountain in turn, and at the end was the female dependents of the Dong family, stealing the door is very traditional, and the status of women is not high, even if it is grandma and mother in this kind of heavy dà occasion, they have to walk last.

Standing in front of this dilapidated Gongyao Temple, Wushuang stood for a long time, and behind him, no one dared to say a word.

He closed his eyes and breathed in the aura of the mountain, feeling the grandeur of the battle that his grandfather had once fought. The whiteness of the sun's belly climbed up from the other end of the gourd mountain little by little, and the warm sun slanted on Wushuang's body to make him intoxicated.

He leaned down and picked up the snow from his feet with his hand, letting it melt slowly. Under the snow, the pine slate that originally led to the Gongyao Temple was revealed, and the stone slabs were all engraved with the great deeds that the grandfather Wu Gongyao had fought during his lifetime, and the handwriting was the magnificent simplified Chinese characters of the grandmother Mo Xiaoqi.

Wushuang took off his sunglasses, and tears of anger slipped out again. Standing on this land, Wushuang's heart seems to have flown back to that era. It was as if he saw the brave Wu Gongyao standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by three high-ranking disciples and left and right gunners, and tens of thousands of thieves standing at the foot of the mountain, who held high the American-style Thompson and swore to fight to the death with the Japanese devils to drive them out of the Northeast!

They are great, you can say that they are all gangsters, you can say that they kill people without blinking, but don't forget, they don't have the support of Nanjing behind them, they don't have the support of the "Red Sun", they are just a group of bandits called a rabble, but it is these bandits who annihilated an entire wing of the Japanese army here with the lives of 8,000 brothers!

"Master, the time has come. Liu Mazi reminded him in a low voice.

"Let's go!" Wushuang wiped away tears.

"The auspicious time has come!" Liu Mazi shouted, and more than 100 people knelt down on the pine stone steps leading to the Gongyao Temple.

Holding the sacrificial text with no hands, he walked up step by step, stood in front of the Gongyao Temple, faced the group of thieves, read aloud, praised the great legendary career of the ancestor Wu Gongyao, and then took the incense handed over by Liu Mazi, walked into the dilapidated Gongyao Temple step by step, knelt down on both knees and lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

At this time, he found that someone seemed to have come to the Gongyao Temple that had just been cleaned by the brothers a few days ago, and there was a layer of incense ash in the incense burner. Who could it be? Second Grandpa Ma Sihai? Impossible, according to the convention, even if he came to worship the old man, he had to come with himself to comply with the rules, and it was impossible for the second grandfather not to understand.

Twitching his nose slightly, he vaguely smelled a faint aroma of rouge in the Gongyao Temple, which was very special, not like cosmetics used by ordinary girls, nor like the special fragrance developed by the blue butterfly red silk door. The scent seems to be familiar somewhere to smell.

Wushuang stood up abruptly and stood on the top of the mountain, looking left and right, that person should not have gone far, maybe it was the kung fu with their front and back feet. But there was nothing on Hulu Mountain except a cool wind.

"Master, you...... Kneel down, the ceremony hasn't been completed yet!" Liu Mazi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed up to remind him in a whisper.

"Uncle Mazi, immediately send someone to search the mountain, someone has come to worship my grandfather, right at our feet. Wushuang said.

"Wouldn't it be nice for someone to worship the master?"

"I suspect it is...... It's my grandmother!" Wushuang whispered.

"Impossible, if the Seventh Girl is still alive, how can this be more than a hundred years old? Don't think about it, so many brothers are here, don't let people gossip. ”

Helplessly, he knelt down again and threw the sacrificial text into the brazier. Then, in accordance with the custom of worshipping ancestors every year, he personally put on a red cloak for the clay sculpture of his grandfather Wu Gongyao.

Because the Northeast thief door has the habit of worshiping the five immortals, in addition to the clay sculpture of Wu Gongyao in the Gongyao Temple, there are statues of the five immortals around. According to the old rites, every time the ancestors are worshipped, the family members must personally use a brush to recolor the five immortals, which is the last and most important procedure.

Wushuang took the brush and walked to the fox fairy statue first, but he found that the ink on the fox fairy statue's eyes had not yet dried. He looked at them in turn, and the five immortals, the statues of the gods without seats, all of them had just finished their ink.

If someone came to worship Wu Gongyao in advance, it is easy to understand, Yao Gong was one of the few big people in the Northeast back then, and there are no longer a few people who have benefited from his kindness, and some may still remember his kindness and let his descendants come to pay tribute to his benefactor on this day every year. But outsiders don't know about the procedure of putting the eye on the five immortals, even those newcomers who have just been in the thief's door for ten or twenty years don't know, only Wushuang and a few older generations remember.

That is to say, the generation who came to worship Wu Gongyao just now is at least the third generation of thieves, Liu Mazi and Ma Erye's generation, and almost all the masters of this generation are present now.
