Chapter 49: The Ancestor Worship Ceremony
On a high platform.
The executives are talking and laughing.
Some people also heard the chatter below.
Ling Feihong frowned, and instructed the subordinates on the side: "Go and invite Ling Jiuqiu up." ”
When arranging the seats a few days ago, he wanted to prepare a seat for Ling Jiuqiu, but he was strongly opposed by several elders, so he had to give up.
After all, the seat on the high platform is not just as simple as putting a Taishi chair, but more importantly, it represents identity and status.
In addition to several high-ranking members of the family, there were also high-level representatives of other forces, and if Ling Jiuqiu, a son-in-law with no special status, was allowed to sit in the same row as them, it would make other forces feel sluggish.
It's like a distinguished guest going to someone else's house, but the other party arranges for a junior with a low status to sit at the same table.
The status is not equal, and sitting at the same table is a snub to the distinguished guests.
It's a matter of family etiquette.
Ling Feihong is not easy to forcibly arrange.
It's just that now that he sees Ling Jiuqiu being ridiculed by many people, he is also worried about the relationship that has finally eased up, and because of these gossips, Ling Jiuqiu is disgusted.
Therefore, he was ready to let Ling Jiuqiu stand beside him to show that he valued Ling Jiuqiu.
Not only did Ling Jiuqiu feel his heart of protection, which made his heart warm, but also made the clansmen realize that Ling Jiuqiu's status was different.
At the same time as he commanded his subordinates.
Ling Bailong also noticed the discussion of the clansmen in the audience, turned his head, and looked at the figure walking slowly outside the martial arts arena with burning eyes.
"Ling Jiuqiu, now that I have reached the fifth level of the True Qi Realm, plus the heaven-level martial soul and the three Xuan-level martial arts, I can be called invincible in the middle stage of the True Qi Realm!"
"Even in the late stage of the True Qi Realm, I have the confidence to defeat most people."
"I want to see what you can compete with me after only three months of awakening?"
The white dragon's eyes were full of boiling battle intent.
Since awakening the heaven-level martial spirit, he has swept invincible among his peers, and has not encountered any decent opponents.
Since the last time he learned about Ling Jiuqiu's record, coupled with his father's change in attitude, he felt that he finally had an opponent.
Soon.
The subordinate trotted in front of Ling Jiuqiu, bowed down and said, "Young Master Jiuqiu, the patriarch asks you to go up." ”
Ling Jiuqiu glanced at Ling Feihong on the high platform, who nodded lightly at him.
"Let's go, then."
Ling Jiuqiu smiled indifferently, slowly walked towards the direction of the high platform, and walked up to the high platform in the curious and surprised eyes of some people.
Ling Feihong took the initiative to beckon: "Come, Jiuqiu, come to me." ”
When Ling Jiuqiu walked to his side, he took the initiative to introduce to the high-level of the rest of the forces:
"Everyone, let me introduce it to you, this is Dog Ling Jiuqiu, although it has only been a few months since he awakened his martial spirit, his talent is quite good, you can pay attention to his performance in the ring later."
Hearing this, more than a dozen high-level officials from major forces were suddenly surprised.
To know.
Ordinary juniors are not qualified to appear on the high platform on such an occasion, even if it is the patriarch's son-in-law, but Ling Feihong not only invited Ling Jiuqiu to the high platform, but also solemnly introduced them to them.
This is enough to show the importance he attaches to Ling Jiuqiu.
If it weren't for Ling Bailong, who had already been designated as the young patriarch, they would probably think that Ling Jiuqiu was the heir to the inner decision.
At this time, Ling Jiuqiu bowed to the senior executives in a timely manner and said, "Senior Ling Jiuqiu, I have seen all the seniors. ”
These high-level executives were not surprised and responded one after another.
"Jiuqiu's virtuous nephew is polite."
"I've long heard of the name of the Ling clan's Shuanglong, and now when I see it, it's really good!"
"With Ling Bailong and Ling Jiuqiu at the same time, the future of the Ling clan will definitely be thriving! It's really enviable! ”
When everyone on the high platform greeted each other.
Feihong's performance also made many people under the high platform drop their jaws.
"Didn't the patriarch already ignore Ling Jiuqiu? Why is your attitude a little different today? ”
"I even invited him to the high platform and took the initiative to introduce him to the high-level leaders of other forces, aren't you going to focus on cultivating him?"
"Perhaps, Ling Jiuqiu has already surrendered to the White Dragon Young Patriarch, so the Patriarch has decided to train him to be the assistant of the White Dragon Young Patriarch in the future."
"This is possible, after all, Ling Jiuqiu is also the son of the patriarch, if he is not an enemy of the young patriarch of the white dragon, it is possible to get the attention of the patriarch."
Everyone was talking.
A majestic voice suddenly resounded throughout the audience.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Patriarch Ling Feihong stood up, walked to the front of the high platform, faced more than a thousand clansmen, and said loudly.
The voices of the people chattering and chattering gradually ceased.
There was soon silence on the field.
"Today is a big day to pay tribute to our ancestors, and it is also an annual family competition."
"Our Ling clan can have today's glory, from an ordinary hunter, step by step to one of the four major families in Yongquan City, the Ling clan, which is inseparable from the dedication of our ancestors."
"Therefore, each of us must always remember the kindness of our ancestors."
"Next, I announce that in the year 6022 of the Xianwu calendar, the ancestor worship ceremony of the Ling clan, and the family competition, have officially begun!"
"Sacrifice!"
As Ling Feihong's words fell.
Several subordinates carried the cases to the ring in the middle of the martial arts arena, and quickly laid out the incense burners, candles and other objects.
In addition, more than 30 subordinates carried sacrifices and walked into the ring in two neat rows.
Among these offerings.
There are whole pig's heads, roast suckling pigs, roasted whole sheep and other meat food.
There are also vegetarian dishes such as rice and steamed buns.
There are more than 30 dishes in total, neatly arranged on the table.
Ling Feihong walked to the front of the case, holding three pillars of incense.
"All clansmen, worship our ancestors with me!"
"Take a bow!"
Ling Feihong bowed down, and everyone saluted.
"Two bows!"
"Three bows!"
The deep voice echoed throughout the audience.
All the people of the Ling clan bowed three times in order.
"Rite over!"
Ling Feihong inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and then returned to the high platform.
Although this world also attaches great importance to ancestor worship, the entire process of ancestor worship is very simple, and it ends in just half an hour.
Ling Feihong once again stood in front of the high platform.
"If the passionate dedication of generations of ancestors has brought the glory of the Ling clan today, then every descendant is the excellent fresh blood of the family and determines the future of the Ling clan."
"Next, let's take a look at the younger generation, which represents the future of the family."
"Anyone between the ages of twelve and sixteen, all the children of the Ling clan who have awakened the martial soul will all appear on stage!"
A large group of teenagers stepped into the ring one after another.
Ling Bailong and Ling Jiuqiu also walked in the direction of the ring.
Soon, under the guidance of a steward, dozens of teenagers lined up in a neat phalanx, all with their heads held high, full of youthful vitality.
