II-Chapter 2: Wu Ancestral Hall

Strange, this is the feeling in Wu Tian's heart at this time. www.biquge.info But what is even more strange is that after less than a day, he began to gradually accept this eccentricity in his heart and began to gradually dissolve into this life.

went upstairs and entered the room, Wu Tian picked up the landline to call Hong Liang. Since Wu Tian used to study in Hong Kong, it is inevitable that he will open an international long-distance at home, but there is no need to worry about this. It's just that when he pressed the area code and the first few digits of the number according to his memory, the last digit was a little hesitant, and a strange feeling crept into his heart.

"Xiaotian, grandpa is looking for you and wants you to go to the ancestral hall. When Wu Tian was about to press the last digit, his mother's voice came in from outside the door.

"Oh, I'll go over!" Wu Tiantou tilted slightly, but he couldn't understand why his grandfather would call himself to go to the ancestral hall now, which was an important place for the clan, except for major festivals, idlers were not allowed to enter. Although Wu Tian, as the grandson of the patriarch, is not an idler, but in that kind of serious place, Wu Tian is still reluctant to go in at ordinary times, especially when his grandfather is present.

Wu Tian was not able to get through to the phone, and for his grandfather's request, their family had always implemented it as soon as possible, and never dared to delay even a minute. Wu Tian directly threw the phone to the sofa next to him, and hurriedly left the room and went downstairs.

Wu's ancestral hall is located at the edge of the village, close to the edge of the river, covering an area of 10,000 square meters, here is the place where the whole clan festival gathers, of course, not every festival will be gathered by the whole clan, only three times a year, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Spring Festival These three traditional festivals, for what "May Day" and "National Day", it is of little significance to a traditional ethnic group.

At this point. Wu Tian began to be a little confused, and always felt that there was a difference with his memory. But he couldn't tell where it was, and he soon felt relieved. It seems to be fully accepted again.

"Is it ahead of schedule?"

Finally, Wu Tian found an important clue from that memory, thinking that back then, he knew that in addition to the place where human beings lived, there was also a cultivation world on the earth, and it was not clear whether that space was still on the earth or not, anyway, it was a completely independent space, and there was only one place that could directly reach the cultivation world, and only three mysterious sect leaders in the martial arts knew about it. And Wu Tian is one of them. However, when Wu Tian and his grandfather told him about this, it was ten years later, when Wu Tian officially replaced his grandfather Wu Zhenyong as the head of the family, and his grandfather Wu Zhenyong announced his retirement.

"It seems to be really ahead of time. ”

Wu Tian did not deliberately slow down because he was thinking about things in his heart, although the speed of movement was not as fast as that of him in the Kama Continent, but it was still faster than ordinary people running, of course, due to the special situation of his family, the pedestrians along the way did not look at each other strangely except for kind greetings. After all, the more he walked towards the ancestral hall of the Zong clan, the farther away from the town center, and there would basically be no outsiders entering here. While Wu Tian was thinking about all this, the Wu clan ancestral hall was already close at hand. But he found that all four of his grandfather's disciples were there, but at this time, they were turned into guards and guarded motionless at the gate of the ancestral hall, and there was a car parked not far from the green belt next to the door. There was no one in the car anymore, only a person who looked like a driver standing next to the car. And the owner of the sedan is estimated to have entered the ancestral hall, and this point suddenly pulled Wu Tian back from the question of why his grandfather's disciples would guard here. This ancestral hall represents not just a building, not like ordinary temples, anyone can enter, and the conditions for whether or not to enter are not only based on the person's identity and status, the most critical premise is that this person's surname is Wu.

"Bang", when Wu Tian approached the ancestral hall and was thinking about how to greet his four fellow disciples, his four senior brothers suddenly knelt down, lowered their heads, and performed the most solemn etiquette of meeting the head of the sect.

“...... All right. Wu Tian struggled for a few seconds that he should say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he could only walk into the ancestral hall with his head held high, his grandfather has always valued the door rules, and everything in front of him has shown that Wu Zhenyong has planned to pass on the position of head to Wu Tian, he must maintain the head of the house, it is not impossible to be kind, but it will never be allowed to happen on such a serious occasion.

The ancestral hall is of course unique to a group, but the pattern is similar, as a place to worship ancestors and various sacrifices within the clan, the most important thing is to worship the ancestors of the tablet and there are places where sacrifices can be performed.

As a traditional ethnic group, they have always been the most willing to spend money on this tradition, not to mention that there has always been no shortage of money in the Wu village. Covering an area of 10,000 square meters, it is necessary to say that it is huge, the gate is almost 20 meters high Wufeng Tower, and the wide gate is on both sides of the green belt covering an area of three or four hundred square meters, of course, these are not counted in the area of the ancestral hall.

Stepping into the gate is a huge marble relief, carved with the origin and history of the Wu family, the date of the establishment of the ancestral hall, and so on. Bypassing the relief that serves as a balustrade, you will step onto a 10-meter-long bridge gallery, below which is a lake built with water from the river, surrounded by a huge incense niche under the patio, which is placed on a huge stone bridge connecting the corridors on both sides of the lake. Walk through the two sides of the bridge corridor through the tall two-storey attic, in front of which is a huge circular square, which is a meeting place for the clansmen on major festivals, and even when getting married, men must come to worship before picking up the bride, of course, women are not eligible to enter the ancestral hall.

When Wu Tian walked to the square, he saw that on the opposite side of the square, which was divided into three floors, each with fifteen steps, his grandfather was standing with two old men with gray hair, looking at him in anticipation.

"Stepping", Wu Tian finally stepped on the forty-five steps, searching in his mind for the memories of the two people standing next to his grandfather as he walked, but when he wanted to see the appearance of these two people again and looked up, he found that his grandfather had already led the two people into the hall above the stairs, which was the place where the ancestors of the Wu family were worshipped. The first ancestor, the second ancestor, the third ancestor...... Until the six ancestors, the children began to branch, and the children were scattered in large numbers, so they were no longer qualified to enter this hall, but were placed in various side halls, perhaps this is why the ancestral hall covers such a wide area.

Step into the lobby. The three-tiered stepped shelves enshrine six tablets. On the middle floor is the ancestral tablet, which is one meter high. The lower layer is placed from left to right from the second ancestor to the sixth ancestor of the tablet, the size of which is divided by generation. It's just less than a meter. But what made Wu Tian curious since he was a child, and even Wu Tian thought that this was something that the whole clan was curious about, that is, what was the tablet that was enshrined on the top layer. I say "logically" because the "thing" has always been covered with a red cloth, and it can be judged by the shape to be a tablet.

"Get on your knees!"

Seeing that the ancestors are always the seniors to speak, Wu Tianyi came in and stopped three meters away in front of Wu Zhenyong and the three of them, bowing his head slightly and waiting for Wu Zhenyong to speak, but he didn't expect his grandfather's first sentence to ask him to kneel on the ground.

"For the Ancestors!"

Wu Tian, whose knees were already half bent, had to temporarily change direction due to his grandfather's additional sentence, and knelt down facing the ancestral tablet with a heavy "snap", and it really hurt a little when there was no futon pad, thanks to Wu Tian. For ordinary people, this is enough to go to the hospital.

"A Bow to ......"

What made Wu Tian depressed was that before he could digest the slight tingling sensation from his knees, he had to bow down to the ancestral tablet according to the ritual of three bows and nine knocks in his grandfather's voice.

Of course, the ritual was not just about bowing, but when Wu Tian finished kowtowing, the ceremony was suspended because some people questioned the final outcome of the ceremony.

"Zhenyong, are you sure he already has such an ability?" asked Wu Zhenyong the old man standing on his left, his eyes were not angry but threatening, and his short hair made his already wrinkled face look much more energetic. This man looks very capable. But the body is slightly thin, and the palms are thin and full of hardness, like eagle claws.

"Let's not discuss this point, okay?" Wu Zhenyong was slightly dissatisfied with his friend, because they had already agreed before coming here. He thought that his two friends had agreed to his decision, and now he was a little unhappy to suddenly bring it up.

"You know, he's really too young. I'm also afraid that it will be too hasty, do you know what this matter will mean once it is decided?" another friend standing to Wu Zhenyong's right suddenly also put forward his opinion. It's actually supporting the lean old man. Although this one is not burly, he is not lean either. Ordinary and kind, his face is easy to get close to, and his neatly trimmed hair shows that he pays great attention to appearance, but the bulging temples are enough to prove that he is not an ordinary old man, but a master of the house.

"Which of you can subdue me with one move?" Wu Zhenyong reluctantly swept away the two friends, perhaps their decision was actually related to Wu Tian's martial arts.

"It's incredible, but ......" the kind old man still had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Okay, that's enough!" Wu Zhenyong finally broke out with his distrust of his friends, "Xiaotian, get up!"

Wu Tian suddenly found that it was enough to be depressed enough to keep him busy for a long time, but what was even more depressing was that he still had to do what his grandfather said, and stood up without knowing what to do at all. Maybe what makes him feel a little better now is that he doesn't have to kneel there for a while.

"In front of the ancestors, the two of you go up together to see how Xiaotian defeats you!" Wu Zhenyong was already frightened by Wu Tian's trick "Heaven and earth are useless" this morning, and now he is full of confidence in his grandson, and he is very angry about the doubts of the two old friends for many years, not to mention that he had already said it before coming to the ancestral hall, and now the temporary change of hexagram makes him even more angry.

But when Wu Tian heard that his grandfather looked up to him so much, not only could he not feel supremely proud, but he only had a bitter smile in his heart. "Heaven and earth are useless", although it is only a relatively simple "earth version" of heaven and earth is useless, but it is still a trick that requires full cooperation and extreme energy consumption to be able to use. Mental power, as long as it is not used too much, will not show the appearance of lack of energy, but on the surface, a person who seems to be in good spirits does not mean that he is in good spirits enough to stay up for a few more all-nighters like a madman, and Wu Tian's trick is ten times more terrifying to use than all-nighters.

Compared with Wu Tian's bitter smile in his heart, the two old men who were squeezed by Wu Zhenyong changed their faces. As the existence of the master of the sect, they are actually asked to join forces to deal with a junior, whether this junior is about to take over the position of head or something, which makes them feel insulted.

"Haha!" The first thing he couldn't help was the lean old man, who couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and couldn't help laughing wildly. "Wu Laosan, so courageous. Although I heard that you have two grandchildren, the eldest grandson has not been very interested in martial arts since he was a child. If the little grandson is also abolished by us, I think the plot of your devotion to other people's disciples will happen to your great-grandson. ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that the patience of modern people can't be compared with you, Zhen Yong. The Tai Chi Wu family is about to change owners. The other kind-faced old man spoke calmly, but still mean.

"It's useless to talk about it! And I can live another twenty or thirty years, and that kind of thing will never happen again!" Wu Zhenyong didn't care, just because his mind already had the expressions of his two old friends when they were defeated, and being scolded could be regarded as making up for his guilt. After all, it was his grandson who hit it. "Xiao Tian, this is Grandpa Zhang, the Eagle Claw Gate Advocate Tie Ying. This person has the most titles, the head of the Mian family, the vice president of the Medical Association, the deputy to the National People's Congress, the CPPCC or something, right? Chen Tianci Grandpa Chen. ”

Every time Wu Zhenyong introduced a Wu Tian, he could only bow and salute, and at the same time thought about how to deal with it, at this moment. It was unlikely that he would say, "I'm sorry grandpa, but your precious grandson can only use it once a day at most in the morning, and if he is too much, he will collapse on his own." "This will put the grandfather, who has already talked a lot, into a very embarrassing place. But it seems that both of them are old friends of his grandfather, and their identities are the same. The master of a sect, the most important thing is that the two of them are also very accomplished in martial arts. will never be much weaker than his grandfather, and it is enough to deal with one with his current mental state. It's really ......

"One move to defeat the enemy, let me see the old man. "Eagle Claw Gate advocates that Tie Ying is obviously not a person who can hide his emotions, and now he has become more angry because of Wu Zhenyong's calmness. Take off the outer clothes on your body, revealing a close-fitting white sweatshirt and an exposed lean body, the ancient paulownia skin gives people a granite-like hard feeling, and it seems that a foreign kung fu has been perfected.

"Hehe, I also want to see how you made your grandfather lose with one move. Chen Tianci, another handsome man, was not to be outdone, he also took off his suit to reveal the shirt he was wearing, and took three steps forward while rolling up his sleeves, each step was smooth and even, stepping on the hard stone slab was like stepping on a soft carpet, light and steady, which made Wu Tian look more afraid than the previous one.

Originally, Wu Tian thought that although these two master-level figures were squeezed by his grandfather and had to fight with him, how could they take turns to take care of their identities, and they also had a little bit of a hand, but looking at the formation, it seemed that they wanted to go up at the same time.

In fact, this is all to blame Wu Tian's grandfather's strength in martial arts, Zhang Tieying and Chen Tianci are not Wu Zhenyong's opponents on any single list, and even the two of them only have a slight upper hand, and now I heard that Wu Tian can cause Wu Zhenyong to be defeated, these two people think that there is still water in their hearts, but after all, it is Wu Zhenyong's disciple and successor, both of them are afraid that there will be an old cat burning whiskers on a single list, it is better for the two of them to be the same, and it is better to have a little stay and win. Maybe this will also be embarrassing because of the seniority, but after all, there are only four people here, and it is Wu Zhenyong himself who asks for it, as long as the two of them do their own things instead of cooperating with each other, it is not considered a joint effort.

Maybe Wu Tian wanted to think about how he should deal with it for a while, but when he saw Chen Tian kicking his sleeves, the steps on his feet became lighter and lighter, and his whole body gradually entered a good state, and a kind of artistic conception unique to entering the battle gradually emanated from his whole body. And Zhang Tieying on the other side, at this time, a pair of eyes appeared wild, like an eagle that found a rabbit, flying down at any time, at this moment, all the old state manifested in him disappeared, more energetic than anyone else.

Wu Tian took the lead, but instead of using Taijiquan, he used a grappling hand that bullied himself, and the attack was mixed with the acupoint kung fu evolved from the golden needle crossing acupoint. Wu Tian chose Zhang Tieying, although this kind of opponent is also difficult to deal with, especially the previous wave of attacks, it will be as violent as a tenth-level storm, and protracted battle has never been the strong point of practicing foreign kung fu. However, such an opponent's battle path is very easy to see, and of course you must have the ability to see through it in a very short time, otherwise you will still get lost in a simple and violent storm.

Wu Tian didn't choose Chen Tiankick not because he thought that Chen Tiankick was stronger than Zhang Tieying, but at this time, he couldn't see through Chen Tiankick's strength, he looked like a simple old man on the surface, but he exuded a special momentum.

"Good time!"

Zhang Tieying was certainly surprised by Wu Tian's performance, many martial artists will hide needles in the way, and hiding a real fatal blow with a feint attack can have an excellent effect of attacking people unprepared, but using one martial art to hide another martial arts as a real means of attack This is not something that anyone can do, first of all, you must know two kinds of martial arts, and the most difficult thing is that using two different martial arts with two intentions is not something that everyone can do. But with Zhang Tieying's combat experience, Wu Tian's performance was not enough to surprise him and be overwhelmed, and sometimes the more the better.

I saw Zhang Tieying shouting, his voice was as hard and spiky as an eagle, his whole body rose into the air, his whole body was tightened, only his hands were separated in a claw shape, and he grabbed the top of Wu Tian's head on the left and right. Tightening the whole body and taking off made Wu Tian lose the target of the attack, so that if Wu Tian wanted to attack, he could only attack Zhang Tieying's lower plate, but no one would be willing to attack the lower plate of a foreign master, in fact, this is also what Zhang Tieying thought, what he wanted was to ask Wu Tian to attack his own lower plate, you must know that in addition to his own eagle claw skills, the Nine Palaces Chain Leg also has a high attainment.

Wu Tian had no choice, once he retreated, he would retreat into Chen Tian's attack range, although Chen Tianqi was also eyeing him at this time, but because he didn't want to cooperate with Zhang Tieying, he hadn't decided when was the best time to attack. If Wu Tian retreated and left Zhang Tieying's attack range, then Chen Tianqi would no longer have a psychological burden, and would inevitably attack Wu Tian, although the two of them did not really join forces to deal with Wu Tian, but after all, the two of them both made a move, and if it dragged on for too long, even if they won, they would still be victorious.

Wu Tian's right hand twisted to Zhang Tieying's left ankle, but his left hand turned his palm into a finger to his Yongquan acupoint, with Wu Tian's skill, the leather shoes worn on his feet were still slightly thin, you must know that it was extremely difficult for foreign kung fu to practice, even Zhang Tieying, who was extremely skilled, did not use this position to resist a blow from an internal master.

"Good!"

Zhang Tieying's whole body suddenly flipped over, his whole body was horizontal in the air, and at the same time he avoided Wu Tian's grasp and finger, and then his whole body rotated, and he used his Nine Palaces chain leg to kick Wu Tian's whole body horizontally, and his hands did not stop, ready to grasp Wu Tian's loophole and give a fatal blow at any time.

The most deadly thing is not these, what is even more fatal is that Wu Tian can't retreat, because Wu Tian has already realized that Chen Tiankick has strode forward at this time, cutting off all Wu Tian's back roads. (To be continued.) )
