Chapter 254: Burning incense and worshipping
After lunch, Wang Yi found Xiaomei who was cleaning in the kitchen and asked her to lead the way to Beimeng on the West Mountain. Because Lu Li had explained that Wang Yi was going to Wang Daoqing's mourning hall and put a stick of incense on him, Xiaomei agreed.
first said goodbye to Wang Yi, returned to the room and changed his clothes, then found Wang Yi and went to the Northern League on the West Mountain together.
As for Old Man Yao, Wang Yi hasn't seen him since dawn.
The location of the Northern Alliance is located on the top of the hill behind the West Mountain, where it is quiet and steep, with the upper middle Tibetan valley, and the river in the valley, twisting and turning. In addition to Xishan Village, there is also a place in the front mountain of Xishan, which is the bluestone steps built by people at the beginning of the establishment of the Northern League, with a total of 99 roads.
After walking through these ninety-nine steps, and then entering a mountain gate, you will arrive in the Northern League.
Xiaomei was introducing Wang Yi to the scenery inside the Beimeng along the way, the terrain here is extremely interesting, except for the place where the Beimeng is located, the rest of the places are steep mountains, so the houses here are built according to the mountains. Because of this, there is only this place on the way to enter the Northern Alliance.
Wang Yi walked through the ninety-nine steps, and under the leadership of Xiaomei, he came to the front of the mountain gate of the Northern League, in fact, this is also the mountain gate of the sect where Yao Laohan used to be, but no one knows about these things except for some old people.
Although Wang Yi had never been on the battlefield, he had been at the border for many years and was familiar with ancient and modern classics, so he could see at a glance that these houses were all made according to the formations in the army recorded in the books, and all kinds of armaments that could be seen everywhere abounded.
Even if the enemy comes, the people in the Northern Alliance rely on the mountain and these formations to repel the enemy army and make them invincible first.
It seems that there are masters in this Northern Alliance!
Wang Yi squinted and looked at everything in front of him.
Xiaomei led the way in front, and the people who came soon came to the Northern League, walked through a few trails, and what came into view was a simple and atmospheric attic, with two dragons flying and phoenixes dancing in the big character "Northern League", which was seen clearly. Directly in front of the gate in the distance, a huge stone pillar on the left and right overlooks the beautiful scenery of the West Mountain.
Standing here on a sunny day, you can see buffaloes walking leisurely in the fields from a distance, and people waving their whips to start their day's work.
Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh, a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Northern Alliance can occupy the rivers and lakes in the north of Daming, and even half of the rivers and lakes of Daming, which naturally has its own uniqueness.
Compared with the beautiful wind and sunshine outside, the atmosphere in the lobby is unusually dull. The only grandson of the old leader of the Northern League's Young League was killed and killed on the road, which can be said to be a great shame.
In addition to sadness, there was anger in the lobby.
The white silk that can be seen everywhere is scattered in the air, Wang Yi, under the leadership of Xiaomei, walked into the living room of the Northern League, here is the mourning hall of Wang Daoqing, the lord of the Young League, and now the head of the Northern League is not Wang Daoqing, and in the lobby, there is no qualification to set up a mourning hall.
The three-zhang tall white skin swayed in the wind, and people came in and out of the mourning hall from time to time, all of them were white clothes and black belts, and most of the people's faces were sad.
Although Wang Daoqing has a noble status in the Northern League, he does not have much reputation in the rivers and lakes, and in one word, his reputation is not obvious.
At this time, the people who came to the Northern Alliance were all those who had a deep friendship with the Northern Alliance, and the rest were all there
It's one of his own people in the Northern League. Like Wang Yi, there are very few people who just come to the pillar incense.
Before arriving at the mourning hall, according to the number of etiquette, you should talk to the main family and wait for the permission of the main family before you can enter the mourning hall, at this time, the main family will also walk out of the mourning hall and personally welcome the guests into the mourning hall, and then you can burn incense to express condolences.
In order to come here today, Xiaomei deliberately changed into a white mourning dress. He bowed apologetically to Wang Yi and walked quickly into the mourning hall.
Wang Yi stood at the door, deliberately walked to the side, got out of the way, did not obstruct, in and out of the mourning hall, with his hands behind his back, and did not carry any weapons around his waist, waiting for Xiaomei.
There were a lot of people coming and going at the door, but they didn't come to ask Wang Yi, and I don't know if they saw Xiaomei coming here with Wang Yi, or for other reasons.
Most of the people who walked into the mourning hall or walked out of the mourning hall would nod to Wang Yi who was standing at the door, and their demeanor was also kind. Wang Yi returned the salute one by one, smiling and nodding.
is so polite, Wang Yi also glanced at Beimeng.
After waiting for a while, Xiaomei hadn't come out yet, but Wang Yi was not in a hurry. Turning around, he was thinking about looking at the scenery of Xishan again, but he saw the current head of the Beimeng, and Lu Ning walked out of it.
I don't know if he received the influence of Yao Laohan, Lu Ning was a little jealous of this young man who was personally brought back to Xishan Village by Yao Laohan.
But in Wang Yi's eyes, it is natural that she has a good impression of the Northern Alliance, and with such a bearing, it is no wonder that this woman will rectify the Northern Alliance day by day.
It is said that if you want to be pretty, a widow brings filial piety.
Today's Lu Ning can be regarded as a simplification of the two.
Lu Ning, who was already naturally beautiful, is now even more glamorous and moving, Rao is a young man like Wang Yi, and he is also a little stunned.
Seeing that Lu Ning was getting closer and closer to him, Wang Yi hurriedly came back to his senses, saluted Lu Ning respectfully, and said softly, "Madam." ”
Lu Ning nodded kindly and said, "It's here." ”
"Madame, please forgive me for the sin of coming down late. ”
Lu Ning sighed slightly, shook his head, and said softly: "Childe's words are serious, how can there be any sin of being late, it is excellent that Childe can come." ”
Such a thing can be said that in the rivers and lakes, the existence of feudal officials, and in the court, there is a prince. After the death of his only son, he still seems strong and plain on the surface, but there is a little more sadness and sorrow in his words, and he is still a little tired.
"Miss Lu has an unrequited kindness for Zaixia, the village chief is a noble man, and the younger generation has nothing to repay, so she can only come to burn a stick of incense and talk about her heart. ”
Lu Ning may have been moved by Wang Yi's words, and said directly: "Gongzi came to my Xishan Northern Alliance as a guest, so there is no need to be polite, the village chief is the great elder of the Northern Alliance, Gongzi can come, it is a heart, Qing'er Jiuquan should also rush to be happy." ”
Lu Ning may have been a little sad when he talked about the death of his son, and paused before continuing: "Xiaomei just said that the son was sent by the village chief and has something important. Lu Li is also my goddaughter, according to reason, I should do my best to be a landlord, these days, there are too many things happening in the Northern League, if there is a place that is not reasonable, I hope that the son will forgive me. ”
"If the son is not in a hurry, he will wait until the dog is buried, and then get up, let me do my best to be a landlord, if it is a village
While urging the son, then I didn't force it to stay, so Xiaomei took my place and sent the son down the mountain. ”
"Thank you, ma'am, it's already an honor for a boy to be like this. ”
Wang Yi bent down and saluted, Lu Ning's treatment of himself with such courtesy had already moved Wang Yi's heart.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, the rivers and lakes are chaotic, and people of the same way support each other, it's a good thing, if the son comes to Xishan Beimeng again in the future, you might as well stay for a few more days. ”
Wang Yi nodded, "The kid will definitely visit in the future." ”
"Good. Lu Ning turned sideways, and put on a posture of invitation with his right hand, "After talking for so long, I haven't invited my son in yet." ”
"Childe, please. ”
Wang Yi saluted again, and did not go first, but let Lu Ning, who went out to greet him, take the first step, seeing Wang Yi acting like this, Lu Ning, who was already respecting Wang Yi, had a good impression of Wang Yi in his heart.
Lu Ning was not polite, nodded slightly, and turned around and entered the mourning hall.
Walking into the mourning hall, Wang Yi found that the mourning hall was not big, and all the items had been replaced with black and white, which made it look a little deserted. Wang Yi glanced at Wang Daoqing's coffin, which was covered with cold ice, so as to ensure that Wang Daoqing's body would not rot in the coming spring.
In the mourning hall, there are many people standing, there are men and women, old and young, the eyes sweep, there should be dozens of people, looking at the service on the body, it should also be people in the Northern Alliance.
The people in the mourning hall were a little surprised to see Lu Ning leading a young man into the mourning hall, but there were not many different colors, they were all people who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there were still such practices.
just faced Wang Yi's eyes and looked at him a few more times.
After entering the hall, Lu Ning stepped forward and stood in front of everyone, and when he was outside the door, the sadness in his eyes had long disappeared, and he was replaced by a solemn expression.
Sure enough, the head of the Northern Alliance still has some skills.
Wang Yi took a deep breath, in this life, Wang Yi had only worshiped those dead people in the Youzhou case, and it was the first time to worship a person he didn't know like this.
Wang Yi began to shiver unconsciously, this kind of cold is not the kind of cold brought by the ice, but a kind of awe of life and death between heaven and earth.
Between heaven and earth, a flower, a tree, a grass and a tree, all of them are full of vitality, survival for a lifetime, it is easy to die, and it is difficult to live.
It's too hard.
Between heaven and earth in life, there must be reverence for heaven and earth.
Wang Yi took the incense handed by the servant, walked a few steps forward, and was about to burn incense to worship, but his eyes were fixed, and he looked at Wang Daoqing who was lying in the cold ice in a daze.
That face is very familiar, it is the handsome boy who was killed by himself in the woods and on the path.
Wang Yi's mind exploded.
Wang Yi stood in place, stunned, and looked at Wang Daoqing, who had closed his eyes. Fortunately at first, the people in the mourning hall thought that Wang Yi saw that Wang Daoqing was as young as himself, and he felt something in his heart and was frightened. Some people even laughed at Lu Ning in secret, going out to pick up such a waste to come in, it really lost the face of the Beimeng family.
However, Wang Yi stood there for a long time without a trace of movement, and some people felt that something was wrong.
There is a big problem!
