Chapter 302: Ancestor Worship Ceremony
"Hehe, I also have this idea, I don't know if the clan uncle can take me?" Qin Xingbao was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then said with a hint of shyness on his face.
Qin Ziling looked at Qin Xingbao and couldn't help but smile.
This guy looks like a bearded man with a rough face, and he actually has a clear heart, so he said such a big deal, and he was waiting for his own words.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take you to the pit?" Qin Ziling asked deliberately.
"Hehe, Uncle Clan is young, he has cultivated from scratch to the late stage of bone refining, he must have his own set of ways of doing things, how can he bring me to the pit? Besides, if you want to seek the benefits of chance, how can you not take risks! Qin Xingbao replied.
"Haha!" Qin Ziling saw that Qin Xingbao seemed to be a fool, but his heart was like a bright lamp, so he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, since you're not afraid that I'll take you to the pit, after this ancestor worship ceremony, we'll find something to do together." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Clan. However, the two of us are still a little weak, so it's better to make an appointment with some more people then. Qin Xingbao said.
Qin Ziling was slightly stunned, but thinking that he had only just made his debut, and with more people, he could learn more, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, let's see then." ”
While the two were talking, the entourage of the head of the Mighty Academy came forward on a blood cloud horse and said to Qin Ziling, "Master Ling, the head of the courtyard invites you to come over. ”
"Okay." Qin Ziling nodded, shook off the reins, and rode a clouded leopard horse and followed the retinue of the head of the courtyard to the side of a luxurious carriage.
"Come up and talk." The curtain of the car rolled open, revealing Qin Zitang's thin, cold, expressionless face.
"Yes, Chief." Qin Ziling bowed his hand slightly, then handed the reins to his entourage, and he boarded the carriage.
Qin Ziling boarded the carriage, and after saluting Qin Zitang, he sat down opposite her.
After Qin Ziling sat down, a waitress who accompanied the car handed Qin Ziling a box.
"This contains your monthly example for the month. Two 'Liuhe Transformation Bone Pills' and a bone refining elixir made from the flesh and blood of a strange caracal beast. The Strange Caracal Beast is a fourth-grade mid-level beast, and its flesh and blood are most suitable for the bone refining of the great martial artists who have cultivated the 'Cold Iron Gong'. Qin Zitang said lightly.
Qin Ziling was slightly stunned, showing a hint of surprise on his face.
He had forgotten that a month had passed, and he could receive the monthly example again, and at the same time, he was surprised that Qin Zitang, the indifferent head of the courtyard, would deliberately give it to him.
"In this kind of monthly case, key children can only receive one year. After a year, if there is no big progress, it will have to be redeemed by merit points. If there is a big progress, the family will continue to provide it for another year, and then you will have to earn it yourself, unless you successfully break through to become a martial arts master, then there will be another clan elder. Qin Zitang saw that Qin Ziling's expression was a little subtle, obviously misunderstanding what he meant.
"Thank you, Chief." Qin Ziling naturally didn't break the subtlety of his expression because he forgot about this stubble and the surprise of her actions, and hurriedly thanked him.
"I heard that you've been staying in the Scripture Pavilion and flipping through the scrolls lately, have you encountered any confusion in your cultivation?" Qin Zitang waved his hand and asked with a cold expression.
A flash of surprise flashed in Qin Ziling's eyes when he heard this, but he quickly said, "Thank you for your concern, I don't have any confusion in my cultivation at the moment. ”
"In that case, you can go." Qin Zitang couldn't see any change in his expression when he heard this, but said in a cold tone.
"Yes!" Qin Ziling bowed his hand slightly, then got up and got out of the carriage.
After getting out of the carriage, he re-mounted his clouded leopard horse, and watched the carriage leave, Qin Ziling's gaze was a little delicate.
"Uncle clan, the key children are different! Unlike our 'Yingwu Academy', which has many children, the head of the courtyard doesn't have much spare time to care about us at all. Qin Xingbao drove forward and said to Qin Ziling with envy.
A few days ago, he failed to compete for the quota of key children, and in the end he was still a first-class child. However, because he has a big breakthrough this time, he can receive another year's monthly case.
"Tell me, 'Captain of the Mighty Academy.
Qin Ziling said.
Qin Xingbao couldn't help but open his mouth slightly when he heard this, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Uncle clan, you are a disciple of the 'Mighty Martial Academy',
How can you ask me the other way around? ”
"Nonsense, it's not like you don't know that it's the first time I came to the Qin family in Wuzhou, and I didn't know anything about the Qin family before. After I came, I stayed in the Scripture Pavilion every day, and how did I know about the head of the courtyard! It's you, you shouldn't have been interacting with other clansmen a lot these days, so you should know a little bit about the head of our house. Qin Ziling said.
"Well, I don't know the specifics, I only know the corner news. It is said that the strength of the head of the Weiwu Academy is at the middle and upper level among many clan elders, and the practice seems to be 'Qinglong Xuanmu Gong', and she is very cold to people and things, and many clansmen are a little afraid of her.
As for why she stayed in the clan and didn't marry, then I don't know. Qin Xingbao said.
Qin Ziling glanced at Qin Xingbao speechlessly, this is the same as not saying it.
With his eyesight, can't he see that Qin Zitang is practicing "Qinglong Xuanmu Gong", and she is cold, this still needs Qin Xingbao to say?
At the beginning of the Shen period, Qin Ziling saw a majestic, tall and majestic mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles, like a giant dragon lying on the ground.
The first peak is thousands of feet high, rising from the ground, like a dragon's head raised, straight into the sky.
Qincheng is built according to this mountain, the city wall is more than 20 zhang high, covers an extremely wide area, rises from the ground, and looks at the vast plain at the foot of the mountain.
The tall city walls are all made of huge granite, and they stretch for dozens of miles in a semicircle, surrounding the entire city in front of the high mountain. Within the city, the roads are criss-crossed, and the strips are spacious, which can accommodate more than ten horses side by side. On both sides of the road,
Houses are lined up one after another.
There is a simple, magnificent, and solemn temple built on the innermost part of the city, on the top of the hill that has been leveled, like a king's spleen looking at the world.
Beyond the city are patches of fertile land, with many market towns and villages.
"Uncle clan, that's Qincheng, that mountain is called Qianlong Mountain. It is said that the ancestors of our Qin family have the blood of the dragon clan, and there have been dragons here before, and there are even rumors that this Qianlong Mountain is the body of the dragon after death. Qin Xingbao pointed to the mountains and cities in the distance, and said with pride on his face.
"Really?" Qin Ziling subconsciously asked, but his hand lightly pressed down on his chest.
There are patterns there.
Qin Ziling still clearly remembers that when he was covered in iron and broke the limit, there seemed to be a shackle seal in his body that was opened, and then he saw an incomparably tall and majestic giant with muscles like a giant dragon entangled, standing on the ground.
The land was desolate and barren, the sky was cloudy, and lightning and thunder roared.
This giant seems to hold up the whole heaven and earth!
Perhaps, he really has a trace of ancient greats and dragons in his body.
"It's just a rumor, who knows!" Qin Xingbao was slightly stunned, and then replied.
Qin Ziling smiled when he heard this.
While speaking, the two entered Qin City with the team.
The Qin family's ancestor worship ceremony, not only from the Wuzhou Qin family, but also other after becoming the master, migrated out of the sect, found a place to take root outside, and gradually developed into a tribal tribe of one force, and now the Wuzhou Qin family held an ancestor worship ceremony in the Qincheng Temple, and they all had to bring people to participate in the worship.
In addition to the Qin clan people participating in the ancestor worship ceremony, there are also some people with foreign surnames who will come to watch the ceremony.
Therefore, the city is very lively today, with flags and signs planted everywhere.
However, Qin Ziling was not concerned about these, but in this Qin family's ancestral land, he sensed many powerful breaths.
These powerful auras permeated all over Qin City, and even though Qin Ziling had cultivated to a high level, he also felt a little numb in his scalp.
"No wonder the Qin family in Wuzhou can be passed down from generation to generation, and it has stood tall after the change of dynasty, this heritage is really strong!" Qin Ziling secretly sighed in his heart, and suddenly seemed to have a sense in his heart, and looked towards the back mountain where the Zongmiao was located.
There was a wisp of aura that made Qin Ziling indescribable, a little kind but terrifying.
This aura is extremely weak, if it weren't for the strength of his divine soul, he would definitely not be able to sense it.
"I don't know what is hidden behind that temple?" Qin Ziling thought to himself in his heart, but he didn't have the idea of exploring.
After all, it is the place where the Qin family's temple is located, Qin Ziling still has the blood of the Qin family, and he also has the soul of the Qin family, and since he came to the Qin family in Wuzhou, the Qin family has treated him well.
On the second day, the ancestor worship ceremony officially began.
Looking up at the temple in the city, I feel that it is very simple, magnificent and solemn.
Wait to climb the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, stand in front of the temple, look at the extremely wide square, the flags are flying on both sides, people stand solemnly, the temple is towering into the clouds, there is a giant tripod in front, and there are tablets in the temple Even though Qin Ziling was an orphan in his previous life, UU reading books did not participate in any ancestor worship scene at all, under such a scene and atmosphere, the whole person involuntarily became solemn.
The whole process of ancestor worship ceremony has many ritual rules such as "incense", "tribute", "sacrificial wine", "reading blessings", "from offering", etc., which are solemn and solemn, starting from early in the morning until Shen Zheng ends.
After the ancestor worship is over, it is time to set up a feast.
The feast was set up from the square in front of the Jongmyo Temple to the wide avenue under the stairs, and I don't know how many tables were set.
As a key disciple of the Qin family, Qin Ziling's seat is relatively high.
He saw that on the top seat were the great-uncle Qin Longyuan and the patriarch Qin Zaixin, who had been seen on the first day, as well as the great-uncle who was sitting on the fifth floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, as well as some older clan elders. Qin Xingjun, the celestial pride of the Qin family, was also here.
However, what Qin Ziling really paid attention to was a middle-aged Taoist aunt who was sitting next to the patriarch's position and accompanied by Qin Longyuan.
This Dao Gu couldn't tell how old she was, but Qin Ziling's keen senses could vaguely feel the vicissitudes of life after years of ups and downs from her, which was not the breath that a middle-aged woman should have.
Moreover, the aura of this Dao Gu gave Qin Ziling an unfathomable feeling, he only paid a little attention to her, and she seemed to be aware of it, and Qin Ziling immediately tried to restrain her breath as much as possible.
"Auntie, I saw that Uncle Ming's vein has been continued by descendants, and this time it was also found. It's just that Uncle Ming's lineage is not prosperous, and the five generations are single. Fortunately, his descendants are competitive, and at the age of twenty-six, they are already in the late stage of bone refining. At the table, Qin Longyuan whispered to the middle-aged Dao Gu beside him.
"Oh, it's rare to see that there is a brilliant person in that vein." The middle-aged Dao Gu said with a calm expression, and she couldn't see how much fluctuation there was.
