Zhu Qi pulled Zhou Qingzao towards the others.

"Little Wuzi, little toad, Zhenzhen, do you remember him?" Zhu Qi said.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

"Oh, when I was a child, I climbed over the wall and came to the ancestral temple to play. Zhu Qi enlivened the atmosphere.

"Forget it, I'd better go away. Zhou Qingzao gently broke away from Zhu Qi and walked away again.

"Eh, newcomer, have a chance to communicate. Wu Xu said softly.

"Okay, it was very exciting to have a robbery brother, but now that I have you, I will definitely be able to break through to the ninth layer of qi refining, and when the time comes, the toad will turn into a dragon...... Hey. ”

"That's it, but don't cry like you did when you lost the fight. Zhou Zhen glared.

Zhou Qingzao was silent, he was enough to finish the work of the seventeenth style of the Ecstasy Palm, and asked softly: "You guys...... Remember me?"

Wu Xuqi said: "Why did we forget you?"

Zhou Qingzao: "I thought I was a forgotten person in the world, so now I desperately want everyone to remember me." ”

"Damn, brother, are you pretending to be forced or narcissistic? You are still forgotten by the whole world, who is forcing you to put so high to show you? I wanted to say hello to you a long time ago, but you yourself stood at that 45-degree angle and looked up at the sky and posed as an independent person. Zheng Xuqing said with a glare.

Zhou Qingzao was a little more relaxed: "Okay, my fault." What did you just say?"

"It's Liu Shaoxia from outside. Zhu Qi continued.

Zhou Qingzao asked, "...... you Trust him a lot?"

Zheng Xuqing said: "It's okay, Zhou Qingzao, you also communicate with him more, Brother Rob is not only a high cultivator, but also a very good person." ”

A smile appeared on Zhou Qingzao's arrogant face, they didn't know that he and Liu Zheng had already "communicated".

With the passage of time, more and more people came, the heads of the major families and some small families came with the elders of their respective families and the best disciples of each house, and the annual ancestor worship is not only a day for the major families to worship their ancestors, but also a platform to show their own strength and promote exchanges between the families.

"Xia Nanshan, the head of the Xia family, has led the Xia family's disciples here!"

"Shi Haotian, the head of the Shi family, has led the disciples of the Shi family to arrive!"

"Tang Guo, the head of the Tang family, has led the disciples of the Tang family to arrive!"

......

As the shouts of the master of ceremonies sounded, groups of high-level officials of the family arrived one after another, and the six families of the three powerful lords also began to appear.

"Wu Miao, the head of the Wu family, has led the Wu family's disciples to arrive!"

Wu Miaoshui, who was dressed in a white sacrificial dress, walked into the square, followed by Wu Tao, who was also wearing a sacrificial dress, Mao Luping and the elders of the Wu family, although Wu Tao was the chief disciple of the Boxing Academy, but today he participated in the ancestor worship as the eldest young master of the Wu family, and Mao Luping came as the future grandmother of the Wu family.

When worshipping ancestors, unlike worshipping the sky, you only need to wear a school uniform, everyone must wear a uniform white ancestor worship dress, wide-sleeved robe linen, wear hemp shoes, and tie a white belt on the head, and you can only change it after worshipping the ancestors, even the mountain lord is no exception.

"Zhou Mingtao, the head of the Zhou family, has led the disciples of the Zhou family to arrive!"

Zhou Mingtao, the head of the Zhou family, walked over, followed by his youngest daughter Zhou Jiao, Zhou Jiao, who was wearing a sacrificial dress, had a smell of immortal dust than usual, and saw her sister waving at her from a distance, Zhou Jiao stuck out her tongue at her.

There are more and more people, fortunately, although the Tianwudian Square is not as good as the central square, it is also two hundred steps long and wide, and it is more than enough for thousands of people to stand and tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of people are not crowded here at all.

Before the festival began, people who were familiar with each other from the major families gathered in groups of three or five, discussing in a low voice the unusual things that had happened these days and their own opinions, but due to the strict orders of Puluo Mountain, they did not dare to openly discuss the invasion of the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion and the murder of Chai Dong, and their words only involved the transfer of the Tianchen Warrior Regiment and the reactions of the major families.

"The Mountain Lord has arrived!"

Finally, with the loud shouts and the iconic ritual music sounding, Jie Qiuyuan arrived with a large wave of elders, senior lecturers and elite disciples of various academies, and walking behind the mountain lord on the left and right were Xu Lao and Principal Wang Youjun respectively.

The arrival of the high-rise of Puluo Mountain represents the official beginning of ancestor worship. It also means that at this moment, all the high-level figures in the Chongyang Secret Realm and the future high-level are concentrated in this square, even if it is a banquet held in Puluo Mountain at night, it is impossible to gather so many high-level people.

In other words, whoever controls the hundreds of people in this square will control the entire Chongyang Secret Realm. Of course, to do this, unless he could clean up hundreds of acquired peak masters and two innate powerhouses at once.

No one thought that such a thing would happen.

Zhu Qi and the others had already changed into their sacrificial clothes at this time and stood in the ranks of the disciples of Puluo Mountain, Zhu Qi had never practiced in Puluo Mountain, and was not a child of a family, so it stands to reason that she was not qualified to come here to participate in ancestor worship, but due to some special reasons, she was tacitly allowed to stand in the same column as the chief disciples of each academy.

Zhu Qi looked left and right, among the chief disciples of the Twelve Academies, Wu Tao stood on the side of the Wu family, Yan Huibo, the second disciple of the Boxing Academy, took his place, Zhou Zhen Although she was the eldest lady of the Zhou family, she still led the disciples of the Sword Master Academy to worship her ancestors, Zhou Jiao stood on the side of the Zhou family, so she couldn't lead the disciples of the Pujia Academy, but what Zhu Qi didn't expect was that it was actually a shy little girl Jiang Ronghui who replaced her, this little girl seems to have grown a lot, and the other academies are led by the chief disciples.

Wu Tao stood in the Yan family's team and whispered to Wu Miaoshui in front of him: "Father, who will start today's special program first?"

Wu Miaoshui said calmly: "It depends on who is the most uncomposed." ”

"Chai Dong's Dead ......"

Wu Miaoshui suddenly turned his head, stared at him and said firmly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I don't know." ”

Wu Tao shut up, this is the only haze in his heart that he doesn't know anything about, he is also one of the suspects in Chai Dong's death, after all, he has this strength, and he has always been at odds with Chai Dong, and there was no alibi that day, so that the old man of Chai Huo looked at him quite unkindly these days, but what he was most worried about was that this haze would become an unexpected variable. But my father just now understood very well that the arrow was on the string, and it was necessary to send it, and now it depends on who has more hole cards and can have the last laugh.

Ancestor worship is divided into two steps, first put down the bronze tripod on the square, the mountain lord and the head of the major families clean their hands together after the mountain lord presides over the burning of incense, reciting the sacrificial text, offering the rice soup, serving tea, offering silk, offering wine, offering the box, offering the meat, offering the words (blessings), burning the sacrificial text, the specifications of each sacrifice are ten times stricter than the sacrifice to the sky.

Originally, the ritual specifications of sacrificing heaven and earth were much higher than those of worshipping ancestors, but the Chongyang Secret Realm is a society with a prosperous martial arts civilization, and the cultivation of martial artists is the road against the sky, and they do not worship God or Buddha.

Since Xu Lao participated in this ancestor worship, no one had a higher rank than Xu Lao, so when the incense was offered, Xu Lao naturally replaced the Elder Puluo Mountain who was incense with the mountain lord and the principal that day.

After the great ceremony of three kneeling and nine bowing, the three pillars of high incense are inserted into the bronze tripod, and the first step of ancestor worship is completed.

The second step of ancestor worship is by the mountain lord, the principal and the representatives of the younger generation each hold a tripod to carry the tripod in, followed by the ancestors of the ancestors enshrined in the Tianwu Palace, together into the Tianwu Palace, to the hall of the heroic spirit tablet incense prayer, report the year of Chongyang Secret Realm whether the wind and rain are smooth, whether the disciples are motivated to pray for the ancestors to bless Yunyun, this is different from the Chinese traditional ancestor sacrifice, is a unique ritual of Chongyang Secret Realm, it is said that the first generation and second generation of Chongyang Secret Realm ancestors participated in several times to resist foreign enemies after the tragic war to protect the country, the rules set by the future generations, warning future generations to be prepared for danger in times of peace, not to live in the paradise and forget Kyushu, to carry the Ding Jiangshan as their own responsibility, did not forget to sweep away the Tatars and recover the mountains and rivers, so later the Ming Dynasty unified China, and the disciples of the Chongyang Secret Realm also made a lot of efforts, and this was passed down as a custom.

The ancestral temple Tianwu Hall is a holy place in the hearts of all people in the Chongyang Secret Realm, usually anyone who steps into it will be killed, only the ancestor worship day will be opened, except for the head of the mountain and the family heads of the descendants of the heroic spirit, only the young generation representative who carries the Ding together can enter, this person is naturally the champion of the annual conference martial arts, which is also regarded as the supreme glory by all the young powerhouses of the Chongyang Secret Realm.

However, this year's General Martial Arts, due to the invasion of the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion that day, has not yet decided the final champion, and everyone has already known the news of the final of the Ancestor Worship Day in Tianwu Temple Square.

Many people have turned their attention to Wu Tao, Wu Xu and Zhou Qingzao, and the next should be their home field, only by deciding the final winner can they enter the Tianwu Hall to worship their ancestors.

Jie Qiuyuan announced loudly: "Everyone, since the martial arts conference has not yet ended, this seat and the heads of the family have discussed that the final will be held in the Wudian Square on this day on the day of ancestor worship, Wu Tao, Wu Xu, Zhou Qingzao, you come up." ”

The three of them stepped forward, and everyone scattered to make way for them to open a large open space, and the place in the Tianwu Palace Square was big enough for them to perform.

"So, let's start drawing lots now to decide the opponent. ”

Jie Qiuyuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced the start.

"Wait!" an inophate voice sounded.
