The Rising Waves of Youthfulness Chapter 2: Ancestors, How Can Later Generations Inherit It?

The days passed by in Lin Tianxu's self-discipline cultivation and idle play, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Lin family's triennial ancestor inheritance ceremony came.

The ancestor ceremony has a long history in the Lin family, when the Zhongxing Daozun Lin Zhengdao was completed, he left a volume in the Lin family, a very ordinary "Yiqing Sutra", except for the reason of the age of the book, the system of the book and the "Yiqing Sutra" on everyone's hand today are different, there is no difference in content.

Hundreds of years ago, the predecessors of the Lin family, who had cultivated to the highest level, tried to find out something special from the scrolls, and even the heads of the Zhengqing Sect of the previous generations had observed and explored it several times, but they all ended up without a problem.

Or because of the big difference in cultivation, this volume has nothing special in the past two hundred years, and there has never been some vision at any time, so it has been enshrined in the ancestral house and received the incense offerings of the children of the Lin family on weekdays.

Only at the triennial ancestral ceremony on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month, for the young people of the clan between the ages of 13 and 15 to observe.

Despite this, each ancestor inheritance ceremony is an out-and-out event for the Lin family, both in terms of the importance of the Lin family and the participation of the side branches of the lineage.

On this day, the square in front of the Lin family's ancestral house was very lively, and groups of Lin family members from all over the Lin family town began to gather here. The Lin family is scattered in various side branches around the town, and every family has elders and young nephews here, waiting for the ancestor inheritance ceremony to begin.

The elders all smiled and greeted people they knew well, and the younger generation slipped away to find friends and brothers who rarely got together on weekdays.

Because there was still more than an hour, Lin Tianxu, who was dressed in a sunshine dress, also got into the crowd, looking for the Tianwei and Tianquan in his mouth the day before yesterday. Lin Tianwei is the son of his fifth uncle and five rooms, and Lin Tianquan is a little farther from his great-grandfather who passed down from the third room of the nineteenth uncle.

Because the three of them are similar in age, Tianwei Tianquan has also reached the threshold of the sixth layer of pneumatics, and the three of them are the three best cultivators in this generation, so they have the most opportunities to practice and communicate together on weekdays, and they are also the most familiar among their peers.

"Hey, Chubby Dun, I'm here, come over here." Lin Tianxu saw Lin Tianwei at a glance, and immediately shouted happily, Lin Tianwei hurriedly squeezed over when he heard the sound, and grabbed Lin Tianquan with his hand. "I said that I'm not fat, I'm strong, do you understand strong?" Lin Tianwei pretended to be vicious and shouted at Lin Tianxu as he scooped up his cuffs and tightened his thick forearm.

Lin Tianxu glanced at him, pulled Lin Tianquan next to him and said: "This is strong, you look at your thickness below the neck and above the thighs, I don't call you a bucket for the sake of helping me top the pot last time." ”

Lin Tianquan is very strong, only one year older than Lin Tianxu, he is already more than six feet, with big shoulders and thick waist, bronzed skin and a Chinese character face, compared with Lin Tianwei, who is less than five feet old and has a shiny face, there is indeed a big gap.

"He? I am as strong as a normal person, and Tianquan should be thrown into the reckless jungle on the border of the Lincang Continent to distinguish between high and low with demon beasts. Lin Tianwei looked up at Lin Tianquan's honest face and said unwillingly. Lin Tianquan touched his head when he heard this, smiled and didn't make a sound, and quietly watched the two continue to argue.

Speaking of which, this is also the daily way of communication between the three brothers with the same surname with different personalities, usually Tianxu Tianwei and Tianwei are spitting and spitting, and Tianquan is smiling silently beside them.

It's not that he doesn't want to participate, it's just that he is honest by nature, and he is not good at words, besides, the two of them are used to bulls, and they never blush, they are all normal manifestations of childlike innocence after boring cultivation, Tianquan shared a lot of happiness and satisfaction when he watched them from the side.

On weekdays, Lin Tianxu has never had a long son-in-law, he is very friendly with anyone, and often looks elf and eccentric, while the little fat man Lin Tianwei will never lose his momentum in his mouth, even if he has been hit by Lin Tianxu's various words, he has been standing, but he has established a very deep friendship with each other in such a laughing day. The brotherhood formed by the three of them when they were young also withstood several tests of life and death in the long years of seeking enlightenment later.

Soon, the time for the ancestor ceremony arrived. The crowd in the square also stopped the noise, and stood in the established positions of each room, one by one, solemn faces, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin. Lin Tianxu, who slipped back behind his parents early, also put away his playful expression, looked at his nose and nose respectfully, and was silent.

The ancestor ceremony is presided over by the current head of the family, Lin Xiangbei, and the elders first lined up to invite the ancestor plaque on the sacrificial platform in the square in front of the ancestral house, and then the men in each room went to the incense and bowed in turn according to the order of the elder and youngest. After the worship was over, Lin Xiangbei began to speak on behalf of the entire family.

"The ancestral surname is Lin, the word is true, the name is really one, the honorific name is Zhongxing, and the twenty-third year of the Yunli calendar is born in the north of the town of Linjia Town. Smart and sensitive, brave and understanding. Less ambition and a wish to help the world. The weak crown is chivalrous, and he tastes the saber and captures the coward alone, except for the township.

and strong, unwilling to extinguish the basil, often trying to work hard. coincided with the troubled times of the Demon Gate, and the people were struggling to make a living. The ancestor witnessed the suffering of all beings in the world, and he was unable to save the people, and the idea of being born spontaneously arose.

Said: Escape from the world and seek the way, help the poor and save people. Then he entered the Zhengqing Gate, took refuge in the three Qing people as the disciples of the Dharma heir, and gave the word Zhenyi. The three Qing people are the 38 generations of the Zhengqing Gate, and the Taoism is profound, which is respected by the times. Zu Yin is clearing the door for decades, following the teacher's morality, inheriting the Tao, concentrating on the Tao, and making unremitting progress.

Buren traveled all over the world to spread the education of morality. The demon disaster suddenly arose, the Daomen was destroyed and the night was over, the ancestors attacked angrily, punished the demons, destroyed the elders, and exorcised the remnants of the Demon Gate in the far north, saving the people from fire and water, and saving the Daomen from danger.

His exploits have shocked the past and the present, and have been praised for generations. Eight hundred years ago, the ancestor feathered the immortals. Woohoo, God is man, man is God. Knowing the heavens and the earth is mysterious, godly! The armor horse and the boundless sea, immortal! Filial piety to the old and respect for the old, people! Exorcism door and save Li Shu, holy! Looking forward to the sun, the reputation of the virtuous.

Then the generations are mediocre, hundreds of years without great power, so that the ancestors can not pass on the Tao, I hope that the ancestors will have mercy, give the mystery and descendants, and restore the glory of the ancestors. ”

Lin Xiangbei's calm voice echoed on the stage, and the teenage teenagers in the audience heard the past deeds of their ancestors, and their eyes were bright, and the seeds of the Dao Sect also penetrated into the hearts of the young people here. Lin Tianxu also officially participated in the ancestor inheritance ceremony for the first time, and when he heard the experience of the ancestors, his heart was also stirred, and his heart was more urgent.

Waiting until the end of the speech is the last important item: the people of the Lin family of the right age have passed through the books left by the ancestors. This time, there are more than 30 young people from the Lin family who meet the requirements, except for Lin Tianxu, Tianwei and Tianquan. The others are pneumatic from three to five floors, and enter the ancestral house in order of cultivation from low to high. Lin Tianxu and the three of them waited quietly in place because they were at the end.

More than two hours later, it was the turn of the three of them, under the leadership of the head of the family Lin Xiangbei, the three of them entered the ancestral house, and before entering, Lin Tianxu also saw his mother's supportive and encouraging eyes on him.

After entering the ancestral house, the three of them knew that, according to the ancestral example, the observation scroll was in the underground mezzanine of the ancestral house, or whether the ancestor had specially explained it when he left the book, and said that to open the scroll, he must open the scroll in the underground mezzanine, because he had placed a ban on the mezzanine, and he could not break the ban unless he cultivated far beyond the ancestors.

When he arrived at the mouth of the mezzanine, Lin Xiangbei stopped, "The scroll is on the offering platform in the middle of the mezzanine, you all read it carefully, whether you can gain something, it depends on your creation." ”

After speaking, Lin Xiangbei paused, looked at his son, and added: "This scroll is the only thing left by the ancestors, and it is also something that our Lin family has guarded for dozens of generations, you few, you must cherish this opportunity." ”

Lin Tianxu didn't know at this time that these words of advice were the last time he listened to his father's teachings in this life, and he didn't know that his mother's encouraging gaze before a cup of tea would be the last image his mother left for him. The world is impermanent, how can a young man of this age comprehend it?
