Chapter 36: The New Year I
Regarding that time to detect the qi and seek the demon, Chi Tang also asked Qianchong afterwards, and the conclusion given by Qianchong was that the scene of the big lake was clearly Poyang Lake, and the barren mountain scenery was very similar to the border between the two countries, and the distance between these two places and the Qianjiazhuang of Wangyue Valley was seven or eight hundred miles, which happened to be an equal radius, that is to say, Chi Tang's qi detection and demon search technique has now been cultivated for nearly a thousand miles.
After a good start in that afternoon, and after several days of painstaking practice, Chi Tang has already mastered some of the secret techniques of subduing demons, and the methods of observing qi, observing qi, and smelling qi have been used extremely proficiently.
This is the ability of Qianjun to transform people, once he touches the door of Fu magic, then the subsequent cultivation of the Xuan power is a thousand miles a day, and the growth of Chitang makes the disciples of the Qianjia family breathtaking.
However, this kind of practice had to come to an end for the time being, because the New Year was coming, and for the Qianjia, it seemed that it was not just a festival to wait for the coming year, but had a deeper meaning.
On the last day of the Bingchen year, a group of disciples of the Qianjia family got up early, dressed neatly, and came to the Heroic Soul Tomb first.
According to the order of the main sect, the disciples of the Qianjia family were arranged in two rows, with Qianchong at the head, Gan Fei following closely, and Chi Tang and other disciples at the back. In front of the tomb of the Heroic Soul Tomb and the mottled and rusty blades, a sacrificial offering case has been placed, and in addition to the three animals of fruits and vegetables, three pillars of sacrificial incense have also been burned. Qian Chong closed his eyes slightly, singing a strange song, the singing voice seemed melodious and solemn, the pronunciation of the lyrics was short, but Chi Tang couldn't understand a word.
Looking at the other disciples of the Qianjia family, they all listened to Qianchong's singing, and sat in front of the sacrifice with a solemn face, and even the two new disciples Dong Yao and Ji Yao were also intimidated by the atmosphere of the scene, sitting upright, never moving slightly, only Gan Fei, although he also maintained the same sitting posture as everyone, but the expression on his face was obviously a little disapproving.
"It's an important ritual. Chi Tang thought in his heart, and also straightened his sitting figure.
After the singing, Qianchong prostrated and bowed to the Heroic Soul Tomb, and the disciples of the Qianjia family also followed Qianchong's movements and bowed to the Heroic Soul Tomb. A faint layer of ash rose in front of the Heroic Soul Tomb, and I don't know if it was the morning fog or the incense smoke.
Qianchong had words in his mouth, but the disciples of the Qianjia family in the two times had obviously relaxed a lot, Chi Tang found an opportunity and quietly asked Ji Rui beside him, what did it mean that Qianchong sang and everyone was so solemn?
As for the song sung by the senior brother, it is also a requiem created when the Qianjia was established, the lyrics are all ancient Chu language, and the meaning is not clear, but every Qianjia family remembers the pronunciation. ”
I see, Chi Tang's heart is no wonder I don't understand it, it seems that this is the Qianjia family respect passed down from generation to generation, although Qianchong is not yet the Qianjia family, but it is now the parent of the Qianjia family, sooner or later it will be the position of the family respect, and in the absence of the family respect Qiandaoyuan, Qianchong will only take care of the entire Qianjia in an orderly manner, and the disciples are also respectful and respectful to him, and they already have the appearance of family respect. Therefore, it is even more logical to preside over this sacrificial ceremony.
"Do you see this layer of mist?" Ji Rui pointed to the faint layer of gray gas, "This is the soul of the ancestors of the Qianjia family, and it is the song that plays a role, calling the souls of the ancestors to listen to the prayers of the younger generations." ”
Chi Tang's mind moved, and his spiritual power operated quietly, wanting to use the method of detecting qi to feel the mist formed by the soul of this ancestor, but the spiritual power had been running for several weeks, but he couldn't detect the fog at all.
Ji Rui obviously saw what Chi Tang was doing again, and chuckled: "Senior Brother Chi, don't bother, I used to use the Qi Detection Technique to perceive the souls of my ancestors, but every time I couldn't perceive anything, I figured it out after I got to the end." ”...,
Chi Tang Qi said: "What do you want to understand?"
"Yin and yang are separated, and the underworld is difficult to pass. Our Qi Detection Technique is to detect evil and chaotic demons, but how can it be used on the souls of the ancestors of the Qianjia family?"
Yes, the Qi Searching Demon is to perceive the traces of those demons and demons of the Blood Spirit Dao, how can it be confused with the souls of the ancestors of the Qianjia who slay demons and eliminate demons? Thinking about this section, Chi Tang couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if this layer of fog is the soul of an ancestor or not. Gan Fei in front of him heard the conversation between the two and turned his head and blinked.
Chi Tang was stunned, and Gan Fei had already smiled and continued: "As long as you believe that this is the soul of your ancestors, faith has a spirit, and your heart is at peace." People will always beg for some gods to protect themselves, as if they will be better fed. Just like the elder brother always says, in the dark, there is a providence. People's fate is arranged by heaven, and when you encounter hardships and hardships, you will have the power of the gods and ancestors to bless you to turn evil into good fortune. So, don't think about using spiritual power to sense the souls of these ancestors, you just need to know that they will bless you, and that's enough. Gan Fei lowered his voice again: "I don't believe it anyway, I don't think that there is a god in the world, and it can only be himself and not the strength of some god ancestor who can save himself." The etiquette of the Chinese New Year is so complicated every year, and I am more interested in tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in comparison. ”
Gan Fei's voice was very small, only Chi Tang and Ji Rui could hear it, Chi Tang was still thinking about Gan Fei's words, but Ji Rui hurriedly stabbed Gan Fei: "Second senior brother is talking nonsense again, be careful that senior brother hears it, ah, senior brother is about to read the congratulations." ”
Gan Fei turned his head sharply, just as Qianchong stopped chanting and bowed to the tomb again.
A group of disciples of the Qianjia family also bowed down again according to the posture of Qianchong, Gan Fei was naturally in this ranks, Chi Tang looked at Gan Fei's appearance of bowing down, and said in his heart: "This is a deviant demon slayer, who doesn't believe in gods and ghosts but does things like gods and ghosts, it's really interesting." ”
After the sacrifice of the Heroic Soul Tomb ended, the disciples of the Qianjia family began the prayer ceremony to Xiuxuan Valley again, looking at Qianchong's pious and one-eyed movements, Chi Tang could deeply feel that there was even a little divine grandmaster temperament coming out of him. In the 800 years since the establishment of the Qianjia faction, it seems that there are many old customs and traditions accumulated over time, in addition to special postures to express various etiquette, there are also these rituals with great metaphorical significance.
Several human figures faintly appeared in Xiuxuan Valley, and Chi Tang could clearly see that it was the beautiful Shi Jiji and the Yongxing Princess of Xuanshan Zhuhai, who smiled and waved to the disciples of the Qianjia who held the ceremony.
"Xiuxuan Gu is mostly an elf who has become an immortal or an ethereal soul, and these two beauties belong to the latter. Gan Fei looked at them, as if thoughtful, and at the same time whispered to Chi Tang.
Chi Tang nodded, he still remembered the test of cultivating the spirit of Xuan Valley, no matter what, it was always a good thing to be able to see these two beautiful women who made people feel comfortable during the New Year, it was better than the appearance of the thin eight-legged immortal or the hidden mist monk who only had a half-scorched yellow beard left.
In the afternoon, it was the lantern ceremony that went to the hanging spirit room, the so-called lantern ceremony, which is the ceremony of the disciples of the Qianjia family using their spiritual power to add a spiritual light to the hanging spirit natal lamp when the New Year is approaching, and it is also the meaning of making a good wish for the coming year.
The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet that night was extraordinarily rich, and a table of chicken, duck, and fish meat was the result of the whole day prepared by the Li family with the servants' family, and more than a dozen people from the Qian family gathered around the square table, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very warm. ...,
Mo Yumei, who had just recovered from her injuries, sat between the Li family and Dong Yao, for this swordsman of the Great Sima Mansion, after escaping from death, he was able to participate in the New Year's feast of the Fu Demon Qian's family, which was really like a dream. In fact, today's scene of the Qianjia sacrifice and the preparation of the New Year's dinner Mo Yumei saw it in her eyes, in addition to feeling novel, Mo Yumei couldn't help but feel very interesting, the sect that can kill demons and demons, but like ordinary villagers, they are preparing for the New Year, just like the fairy who should be ethereal out of the dust but drank in front of him, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he inadvertently said a few words of slang.
Of course, now there is a blushing and thick neck who has already drunk, the brown-shirted man who saved himself, this man who seems very interesting to himself now, he is drinking a big drink, and his senior brother, the Linchang swordsman, is discussing something hotly, and when it comes to happiness, it is the big mouth of the big mouth Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laugh.
Mo Yumei politely touched glasses with a few disciples of the Qianjia family, such a banquet around a table was also her first experience, but it was also quite affectionate, but she keenly felt that the brown-shirted man was avoiding herself, and after sitting for a long time, except for the beginning after everyone raised a glass together, he never came over.
Avoidance means that there is something in the heart, what will happen in the heart? Mo Yumei is not an ignorant girl who has not escaped from the dust, she knows the psychology of men very well. It's still the same old saying, he is afraid of being tempted by himself, and the fear of being tempted by himself means that he is very tempting to him.
Thinking of the joints, Mo Yumei suddenly bit her lip and smiled like a shy girl, and then, in order to hide this unexpected smile, she began to raise her glass frequently and drank with the Li family, Dong Yao, and those Qianjia disciples around her.
"Brother Gan, respect you. "Finally turned to the brown-shirted man, Mo Yumei is now heroic, and the temperament of the swordsman in the rivers and lakes is undoubtedly revealed.
Gan Fei's eyes were hazy, and he seemed to be surprised but quickly raised the wine cup in his hand: "Aha, Miss Mo recovered so fast, it's done!"
"Thank you for saving your life. Mo Yumei looked directly at Gan Fei and drank all the wine in the cup, Gan Fei Ha Luha smiled and put the wine into his mouth.
In fact, since Mo Yumei just woke up, he stared directly at the smile that had gone through life and death together, and he never dared to look at Mo Yumei directly.
"Saving grace, one cup is enough, at least three cups!" Xue Yang on the side immediately coaxed.
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Mo Yumei poured another full glass, looking directly at Gan Fei, the Qianjia's wine was mellow and clear, even if Mo Yumei had just recovered from her injury, she was confident that she could drink a lot more.
With a knowing smile, Chi Tang looked at Gan Fei's blushing face, and then drank the wine, he knew that there must have been something between this heroic and brave demon slayer and the beautiful swordsman of the Great Sima Mansion.
It's really good, between the swords and swords and swords, there are still beautiful things in the world, and you can feel happy, and then face the demons and monsters in the world, wouldn't it have a different meaning for the demons?
Chi Tang sighed, not paying attention to the wine cup handed over by his side.
"Senior brother, I also respect you, thank you for saving me repeatedly, and teach me swordsmanship and martial arts to defend myself. "It's Dong Yao, her face is red and gorgeous, I don't know if it's because of a few cups.
Chi Tang looked at the pretty and lovely face in front of him, and remembered what happened in these days, what a change this is, for herself, for her, this daughter of a wealthy family, since then, it is a life that is different from the original trajectory.
"The New Year is here, and the old lady should miss you. Chi Tang and Dong Yao lightly touched the cup.
Dong Yao raised her head: "Over the years, the New Year has been the same, but today, it is very different from the past, and I am very happy." As she spoke, her hand couldn't help but touch the thin piece of cloud dragon bone on her chest. ...,
Chi Tang smiled: "It's good to be happy, these days are a happy New Year, and then you will have to practice swords, it will be very hard, you must persevere." ”
Dong Yao nodded firmly: "I know that I will definitely be able to persevere, I want to be like my senior brother, I have good swordsmanship, and I want to be like those senior brothers......" Dong Yao pointed to the disciples of the Qianjia who were laughing and laughing, "...... He has the ability to subdue demons and subdue demons. ”
Yes, this is a life course that is never the same as in the past, Chitang spent most of the years in the house of a big friend who is also a hero of the rivers and lakes, talking about martial arts and affairs in the rivers and lakes, and talking speculatively is to push the cup and change the cup and drink it all, but now, he is already a demon slayer, and from now on, his opponents will be those demons and monsters who can call the wind and rain, fly sand and stones.
Chi Tang stepped out of the main hall and looked up at the starry night sky, Dong Yao also walked out, standing quietly beside Chi Tang.
Although it is the location of the Void Realm, the night sky here and the night sky outside should also be the same, Chi Tang thought, seeing the bright moon in the sky, he naturally thought of the scene of the assassin that night, he was the rest of his life, but those companions who were also brave and heroic with unique skills became food in the mouth of the demon.
"To you, dead brethren. Chi Tang faced the night sky and spilled the wine in his cup on the ground. Dong Yao didn't say a word, but also raised his glass to the night sky, and then drank it all.
"To my father, mother, brother, and family in that family. Dong Yao saw Chi Tang looking at him and showed a delicate smile.
Chi Tang suddenly felt that Dong Yao, who was smiling in the moonlight, was full of a unique beauty, and his heart moved slightly.
Continue to look at the sky, Chi Tang said to himself.
Ji Yao and Xing Yu chatted very speculatively, and both of them had cute dimples when they laughed; Gan Fei, Ji Rui, and Luan Qingtian drank happily; Guo Qihuai was already too strong to drink, and fell asleep on the table; Xue Yang was sandwiched between Yan Haozi and Wu Shi, and began an interesting bickering, and the banquet was full of laughter.
Qian Chong looked at this scene, smiled faintly, he quietly took Li's hand and gently squeezed it a few times.
After this year, it is time to continue the process of slaying demons and slaying demons, and his father and third junior brother have not returned yet, but more and more strange things have made Qianchong feel the urgency of time.
It is necessary to absorb more people with spiritual power to enter the Demon Suppression Path, and it is necessary to find a few other Qianjunhua people as soon as possible, before the start of that tragic war.
Qian Chong felt the warmth coming from his wife's hand and closed his eyes.
The laughter in the room gradually turned into deafening shouts of killing, roars, angry shouts, and ...... Screams
