In the early morning of the next day, when the two daughters of Moxiang and Mozhu woke up, Zhang Yongjie had already copied a bucket of eggs and rice in the kitchen.

Mo Xiang Mozhu was still recalling how he fell asleep last night, but when he saw that Zhang Yongjie had already made breakfast, he felt happy, and he didn't have the heart to think about last night.

After a while, more than a dozen big men appeared in the palace and destroyed some old houses first. Zhang Yongjie was afraid of being discovered, so he hid carefully.

For a few days, Zhang Yongjie wandered in the Mingyang Palace, he acted extremely secretly, and most of the people of the Xiao family lived at the mouth of the valley at the foot of the mountain, so the number of people in the Mingyang Palace was originally small, and Zhang Yongjie's action was not discovered.

In the past few days, Zhang Yongjie has become familiar with the distribution of this palace, where there are attics, where there are pavilions, what kind of people live in which areas, etc., these are deeply imprinted in Zhang Yongjie's mind.

Now the only question is how to attack the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. Could it be that there is only one way to go down the mountain to the mountain? Could there be other roads?

On this day, in the middle of the square on the central axis of Mingyang Palace, a high platform has been erected, and hundreds of people hold wood, ribbons, gongs and drums, gold lacquer horns and so on to decorate the square.

The 'ancestor worship ceremony' is held on the evening of April 15, and of course according to the Tianhai Immortal Sect, it is May 15.

The two daughters of Moxiang and Mozhu dressed up and rushed to the square. Before going out, he didn't forget to explain to Zhang Yongjie: "There are a lot of people in the palace tonight, don't run around, if you are caught, it will really kill you." ”

Zhang Yongjie still nodded and agreed as usual, and when her second daughter went away, she also changed into the clothes of the Tianhai Immortal Sect and swaggered to the square.

Zhang Yongjie pondered, and today I also want to see what the 'ancestor worship ceremony' of the Sea Immortal Sect is all about.

Zhang Yongjie arrived at the square, but he was dumbfounded. The seat numbers around the middle platform are all fixed numbers, one person and one number. Zhang Yongjie, an outsider, where does he have his number?

Zhang Yongjie sat in several positions in a row, and after a while, the owner of the seat number came over, Zhang Yongjie pretended to find the wrong seat, and stood up and pretended to look for it in the crowd.

Zhang Yongjie looked around, fortunately, he was not the only one looking for a seat, it seemed that there were more than a dozen people scurrying around like headless flies.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Zhang Yongjie found an opportunity and quietly slipped out of the square. A vertical step, leaping onto the main hall at the back of the square.

The sky has darkened, Zhang Yongjie quietly lurked on the second floor of the main hall, with the pillars of the house as a shield, the probe can take in the situation of the square.

As soon as Zhang Yongjie turned around, he saw that there was also a person not far behind him, wearing the costume of the Tianhai Immortal Sect, and he was also climbing on the roof tiles of the main hall. Zhang Yongjie was shocked, could it be that the Sea Immortal Sect still arranged patrols around this day?

The man happened to be staring at Zhang Yongjie, and he was also stunned, and then quietly moved over.

Zhang Yongjie secretly raised his vigilance, thinking that if there was really an ambush around this square, there was really a person who was on guard from the Tianhai Immortal Sect, so he had no choice but to knock this person unconscious and hide him, and he just happened to occupy his position.

Zhang Yongjie secretly lucked a true qi, and planned to wait for the person to approach and directly corona him. The man called softly, "Brother Zhang, it's me." ”

Zhang Yongjie fixed his eyes and looked closely, but that person was Shi Yunshan of the Taiyuan tile gang. He once dealt with this Shiyun Mountain at the foot of Wangwu Mountain on the north side of the Yellow River.

Zhang Yongjie collected his internal strength, touched the roof tiles and walked over, and whispered: "Brother Shi, why are you here too?"

Could it be that this Luoyang Li family also planted eyeliner inside the Tianhai Immortal Sect? Zhang Yongjie remembered that when he was looking for a seat just now, there were more than a dozen people who were also blindly looking for seats on the field, and now in retrospect, these people were the same as himself, they also sneaked into this Mingyang Palace, could it be that they were all people from this tile gang who was too far away?

That Shi Yunshan smiled lightly and said, "Brother Zhang, aren't you here too?" I received a secret letter last month, this Li Ling took refuge in the Tianhai Immortal Sect, so Brother Li asked me to come over and take a look, and by the way, I got something back. ”

Li Ling took refuge in the Tianhai Immortal Sect? Li Ling went north this time, and the destination was this Tianhai Immortal Sect Mingyang Palace?

Zhang Yongjie couldn't believe this, according to Nasha Tongtian, Li Ling was a friend of the superiors. This green dragon will be rich and rich, Li Ling will put his thighs and not hug it, how can he take refuge in this Heavenly Siren Sect?

You must know that this day the Kraken Sect, now the poor can't even afford to repair the house. Isn't Li Ling's plan to put the cart before the horse?

Zhang Yongjie didn't have time to think about it, at this time, several strangers sprang out on the roof tiles around him, and those people glanced at Zhang Yongjie and Shi Yunshan a few times, and jumped off the square one after another. Then I remembered a bell, and the bell was quite urgent, thinking that it was a warning.

Zhang Yongjie knew that the Heavenly Sea Immortal Sect had also had its glorious period at this time, and for such a major event and ceremony, how could it not arrange personnel to be on guard? In this way, it was also relatively difficult to sneak in.

After a while, the voice of the bronze Taoist came from the square. I only heard that the bronze Taoist was full of energy, and he also attached internal force, and said:

"Friends who are uninvited, it coincides with the major ceremony of my Immortal Sect, please move to the square to watch the ceremony. What grievances, tomorrow square made another decision. Otherwise, don't blame my Immortal Sect for not knowing how to be hospitable. ”

Shi Yunshan sneered lightly, only taking the words of the bronze Taoist as the wind in his ears, and didn't care what he said.

Seeing that there was no effect, the bronze Taoist immediately took a bamboo Xiao and played it gently. The tune he played was quiet, but it had a strange taste.

After a while, Zhang Yongjie and Shi Yunshan heard a rustling sound. Shi Yunshan looked around, but saw many green snakes swimming towards him. Not far away, there were already the wailing voices of some people, thinking that they had been bitten by the green snake and wailed poisonously, so I don't know if they would die.

Those snakes avoided Zhang Yongjie and surrounded Shi Yunshan. Shi Yunshan was shocked, presumably these green snakes are deadly poisonous snakes, if they are bitten, it is not a joke.

Zhang Yongjie saw that those green snakes deliberately avoided him, and guessed that they must be the second daughter of Moxiang and Mozhu, afraid that he would be accidentally bitten by snakes by scurrying around in this palace, so he gave himself some medicine to prevent poisonous snakes on his body in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie was quite moved in his heart. These two girls are really delicate, and to be honest, they treat themselves very well.

Shi Yunshan immediately said: "Brother Zhang, I'll go down first." After speaking, he whistled, and several children of the Li family jumped off the roof tiles and came to the square.

Zhang Yongjie hurriedly said: "Brother Shi, I don't want the Demon Sect to know that I'm coming, so I'm going to mix in your team now, and I should be a member of the Tile Gang." What do you think?"

Shi Yunshan had long known that Zhang Yongjie was very powerful, and this time he led the team to sneak into Mingyang Palace, which was already quite dangerous, and it was even more dangerous to be discovered this time.

At this moment, I heard that Zhang Yongjie was going to mix into his own team, so it was naturally better. In this way, there is the righteousness of peers, and there should really be danger, Zhang Yongjie must not stand idly by.

Shi Yunshan immediately nodded in agreement, then jumped down from the main hall, came to the square, and said with a smile: "Friends of the Immortal Sect, it's rude. Knowing that the Immortal Sect held a grand ceremony, my Li family sent my brothers to congratulate me. ”

Zhang Yongjie immediately quickly blended into Shi Yunshan's dozen or so teams, so that others no longer paid attention to him. And the people of the Li family didn't say much when they saw Zhang Yongjie and Shi Yunshan jumping down from the hall together.

The people of the Tianhai Immortal Sect looked at Shi Yunshan's group one after another, if they had changed their time, they would have already participated in the siege. But maybe today's day was too important, they all maintained great tolerance, and even temporarily squeezed out a vacant lot and motioned for Shi Yunshan and the group to sit down.

The bronze Taoist sneered twice, and continued: "If you come to congratulate, you can submit your name card, and come generously, you don't have to be the gentleman on the beam." If there is anything else, it will not be on this night, and it will not be too late tomorrow. ”

Shi Yunshan was forced by the green snake to come to the square, and he had already lost first, so he had to be embarrassed at this time: "That's true." ”

At this time, there were about 1,000 congregants in the square, and almost all the congregants gathered in the square, except for a few believers who were stationed at the mountain pass and around the mountain.

On the high platform in the middle, there is a round bronze tripod, which is very tall and may be as tall as a person. There is a small table under the big ding, and several tributes are visited on it.

The crowd gradually quieted down, and the gold-lacquered trumpet was the first to blow, and a few low trumpets stirred in this valley, which was also majestic and solemn.

As soon as the trumpet fell, a dense drum beat came, the drum beat with rhythm, which sounded quite exciting, as if it reminded people of the Great Liao period, the ancestors fought on the battlefield, and the bloody scene of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

The drum beat ended, and then five worshippers on the high platform began to roar, babbling and speaking strange language that was incomprehensible. But in the end, two Chinese characters were finally uttered: "ignition." ”

The sound of a big gong is made strongly. Xiao Yan was already waiting in the audience, and there was a disciple next to him, lighting the torch in Xiao Yan's hand.

After not seeing him for a long time, Zhang Yongjie raised his eyes at this time and saw Xiao Yan wearing the traditional clothes worn by the Khitan people back then, with unicorns and phoenixes embroidered on them. A girl like Xiao Yan, no matter what clothes she wears, she looks good.

At this time, the upper body of traditional clothing exudes a princess temperament. And this kind of princess temperament is no longer the kind of naughty little princess, but the temperament of the eldest princess who can take charge of herself.

Xiao Yan carried a long skirt, held a torch high, and slowly walked to the bottom of the bronze tripod. He threw the torch at the big ding, and the big ding thought that there was fuel in it, and immediately ignited a raging fire.

The five disciples who shouted immediately shouted, "Kneel." All the disciples, including Xiao Yan, knelt down. Of course, Shi Yunshan and the others sat next to them, and they would not bow down to the ancestors of this great Liao.

Worship the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors. After three worships, the bronze tripod was put in the middle of the flames, and quickly rushed to the upper left corner of the square. Immediately after that, two lines of fire, respectively, surrounded the roof of the square, burning in a circle, detonating the audience.

Zhang Yongjie looked carefully, thinking that there must be some kind of mechanism installed in the bronze tripod, and after the kneeling ceremony was completed, the time was just right, and the fire ignited the circular large iron ring that had been placed above the square, and there must be black oil and other long-lasting burning substances in the big iron ring.

To be honest, if it weren't for the different camps, the position was a problem. Zhang Yongjie really felt that the 'ancestor worship ceremony' of the Tianhai Immortal Sect was remarkable and quite cohesive. With such an ingenious ritual, I can't do it in Qiandao.

Then the drums began to beat again, so the believers slowly began to sway regularly with their hands to the sky. The mouth also shouted 'Hewu Lala', these voices slowly coincided, and it turned out to be a rather heart-wrenching song.

Could it be that the disciples of the Heavenly Sea Immortal Sect are performing a chorus? Yes, it is the chorus performed by all the disciples.

The song is long and long, and it reverberates in the valley, back and forth. made Zhang Yongjie and Shi Yunshan outsiders also feel enthusiastic. It's like coming to a foreign land and feeling their cultural connotation.

After all, we are all human beings, the same species. Even if there are different cultures, most of them mean the same thing, that is, to lead people upward and create a better life together. There is no such culture that leads people to do bad things.

After a while, the chorus came to an end. Zhang Yongjie thought that the climax would come to an end, but he didn't expect that there were sky-high blasting rods all around, and then a series of fire meteors soared into the sky, emitting dazzling light, pushing the whole ceremony to the second wave of climax.

Even in the crowd, some fixed positions on the high platform also strung out a series of fiery meteors. The disciples of the Heavenly Sea Immortal Sect immediately stood up and swayed in place.

Zhang Yongjie, Shi Yunshan, and others were infected by the atmosphere, so how could they be embarrassed to sit on the ground again?

At this moment, Xiao Yan was already on the high platform and began to clap her hands, and Zhang Yongjie knew that the chorus was over, but the arrangement was to dance together.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan had already started to lead the dance on the high platform, and the two daughters of Moxiang and Mozhu also jumped on the high platform at this time, followed Xiao Yan's rhythm, and began to dance.

And the nearly 1,000 disciples of the Immortal Sect under the high platform also began to dance with simple steps, following the beat, around the central high platform, and began to move slowly.

In this situation, Zhang Yongjie and Shi Yunshan have been infected by the breath, and they have forgotten the grievances and disputes in the world, and various positions. They actually followed the rhythm, gently mobilized, and gently moved with the crowd.

The 'ancestor worship ceremony' of the Heavenly Sea Immortal Sect originally had an effect, that is, it allowed people to let go of disputes and participate in the grand event. In the early years, the rise of the Great Liao and the nomadic pastures, there were often contradictions between the various tribes.

But no matter how big the contradiction is, no matter how big the blood feud is. On the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, grievances must be put aside first.

Hundreds of years later, there were often wars and turmoil, and the 'Aolimpik Movement' was held every four years.

During this period, even if there are two warring sides, they will temporarily cease fighting and participate in such a sports event together and compete together.

The 'Aorin Pik Movement' in later generations and the 'ancestor worship ceremony' of the Tianhai Immortal Sect can be said to be similar.

You see, that day, the Sea Immortal Sect, whether it was a side or a descendant, whether it was an old man or a child, was all enthusiastic and dancing happily. At this time, on such occasions, who is in the mood to talk about those trivial disputes?

On such occasions, everyone is concerned about such lofty issues as 'the glory of the tribe', 'the universe', 'mankind' and 'survival', and who would be in the mood to care about the matter of the neighbor's fruit tree growing into their own yard?

The full moon and stars, which were covered by dark clouds a few days ago, seem to be infected by the atmosphere, and they will join in the fun tonight. The sky is cloudless, and looking up at the starry sky, it is far wider than the sea.

The beat of drums, the golden lacquer horn, the big gongs and drums, and the singing of the Tianhai Immortal Sect led the whole atmosphere to a paradise. There, there is no strife, no trouble, only happiness and peace.

On April 15, when the moon is in the sky, the bright moonlight illuminates the whole earth. Of course, it's not as bright as the sun, but you said that in such moonlight, you can't see the road clearly, if it's not blind, it's ugly and grandiose.

Zhang Yongjie looked at Xiao Yan on the high platform, dancing in the moonlight, reflecting the starry sky, which was extremely beautiful. How can such a beautiful girl not be a fairy in the sky?

After the dance, a group of immortal sect disciples immediately pulled out tables and set up several circles around the high platform, and many women and children came out of the main hall and brought out the dishes and put them on the table.

The next arrangement is to delicate the mountains and seas, eat a large piece, everyone toast each other, congratulate each other, and in the excitement, the whole ceremony is pushed to the third climax.

Zhang Yongjie, Shi Yunshan and others were also arranged to sit and enjoy together. There were already a lot of dishes and wine on the table, Zhang Yongjie flipped through them with chopsticks, most of them were some melons and fruits, pastries and cold dishes, and the wine was actually a cheap roasted knife, and the taste was quite spicy.

Shi Yunshan and the others are accustomed to big fish and meat, and what kind of appetite do these melons and fruits, pastries, and cold dishes have? What does burning knives attract to him? Obviously, it is not in line with his taste as the leader of the tile gang.

Zhang Yongjie had no appetite, but when he thought that this was the hospitality of the Tianhai Immortal Sect, although he belonged to the hostile camp, the other party set up a banquet to entertain the 'enemy' on today's major festival, the heart of the fist, the meaning of the money, how could he not give face.

People are not plants and trees, Zhang Yongjie thought of this, and immediately ate a few chopsticks. I thought that although the Heavenly Sea Immortal Sect was hateful, they also had many good people. They have lived here for generations, as well as old people and children.

Seeing this, Shi Yunshan and others also began to slowly taste these 'fine wines and delicacies', Shi Yunshan was born recklessly, and he was quite poor when he was young.

For such a major festival of the Tianhai Immortal Sect, the dishes are quite shabby, which makes Zhang Yongjie feel quite unbearable, thinking that if he is rich, he is actually still willing to take it out to help the Tianhai Immortal Sect hold a beautiful banquet.

After thinking about it, if it weren't for the Tianhai Immortal Sect going out to cause trouble every day, if they could all live in peace in this valley, even if it was my Qiandao Sect, seeing this situation, I believe that they would be willing to contribute some money to make them lively.

But Zhang Yongjie didn't know that this Tianhai Immortal Sect's 'ancestor worship ceremony' was successfully held with Li Ling, the financial owner, providing sponsorship, otherwise it would not be possible to hold such a large-scale event in the Year of the Monkey.

At this time, the two daughters of Moxiang and Mozhu also saw Zhang Yongjie's figure in the crowd, and immediately came over to pull Zhang Yongjie away and pull them to their location.

Mo Xiang said: "Didn't you tell you not to run around, why are you here?" ”

Na Mozhu said: "Sister Moxiang, it's so lively here today, Miss Zhang is here, let's all sit here, and the three of us sit together." ”

Na Moxiang greeted the people around him again, added a set of tableware, and put it next to Zhang Yongjie. He whispered, "That's fine, I won't have to pack it for you later." ”

To be honest, listening to what Mo Xiang Mozhu said that he still had to pack meals for himself, he still thought about himself, and the enthusiastic appearance of the second daughter, Zhang Yongjie almost wanted to cry.

If the two daughters of Moxiang and Mozhu learned that they were the mortal enemies of the Tianhai Immortal Sect and wanted to hold a heroic meeting in the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang to jointly exterminate the Qiandao Zhang Yongjie of the Tianhai Immortal Sect, how would they feel? Would they still treat themselves like this?

Zhang Yongjie lightly ate cold dishes, but in his heart, he turned the river and the sea upside down, and the five flavors were mixed. According to the classics of the ancestors, the Qiandao and Tianhai Immortal Sects fought for hundreds of years, with countless casualties, countless old and weak widows, and countless tragic songs.

Why do you want to fight so much? Right now, this Thousand Island Sect and the Tianhai Immortal Sect are in Shubei and the other in Yanyun. The distance between the two places is not more than 1,000 miles? I'm afraid it's five or six thousand miles.

Thousands of miles apart, the two factions still want to provoke disputes and start a bloody battle. Isn't it good that the bronze Taoist people, black iron monks, and so on live in this Yanyun Mingyang Palace, farming and growing vegetables, and living well?

On the other hand, the Qiandao Sect, the meaning of the sect is also to wait for the opportunity to strike a heavy blow at the Tianhai Immortal Sect. Maybe they are all on the road at the moment, the hammer, Zhang Yongjie was a little worried as soon as he thought of this thought.

Shimen had long known that the Tianhai Immortal Sect was going to hold an 'ancestor worship ceremony', and he was just a junior disciple, and the power of the sect was in the hands of the elders such as the master of the Fang Sect. Although they have already left this matter to themselves, will they make Operation 2? Will there be other arrangements?

As the so-called think about what to come, Zhang Yongjie's thought just rose, so he didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that in the next quarter of an hour, the uncles and uncles of Qiandao would appear here and provoke a bloody battle.

After a while, Zhang Yongjie thought again that the information received by the master was May, and by the time they came, the 'ancestor worship ceremony' had ended.

Zhang Yongjie suddenly felt troubled, the disputes between the three families and the four factions, the disputes between the Thousand Island Immortal Sect, and the disputes between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Invaders were all disputes.

Everyone works well in their own one-third of an acre of land and lives well. The old man teased his grandson and enjoyed the joy of family. Children play happily and enjoy the joy of childhood. Isn't it good for husbands and wives to get together in peace and tranquility? Why do they have to hurt each other?

Zhang Yongjie also knows that some things, once they happen, are not easy to forgive. You just said that this Thousand Island Sect and the Tianhai Immortal Sect have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they are full of countless blood feuds that you live and die.

This kind of blood feud cannot be resolved no matter what, and it is impossible to stop making peace no matter what.

Zhang Yongjie thought for a while, and then thought that since he couldn't make peace, he couldn't turn hostility into friendship. But why can't we die old and die without getting along?

You don't have to think so lofty, you just laugh at every turn, etc., after all, people are flesh and blood, flesh and blood, and in some cases, if you want to say a smile and hatred, you really can't do it.

But the two sides live their own lives, don't forgive, don't let go, and don't get along with each other, isn't it also a solution?

Although Zhang Yongjie was very strong at this time, he was only a young man in his twenties after all, and he really couldn't think of some problems.

When we were young, we all thought that we were the wind, and wherever the wind blew, the grass would fall. Later, I realized that we are all just that piece of grass, and we will pour it wherever the wind blows.

What a painful realization. People in their twenties, who is not confused? Who can scare the sky and the air? That is not chaotic? Zhang Yongjie can't either.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yongjie suddenly felt that these problems were unsolvable, and remembered that Zhang Yuanwai's eldest brother said in Chivalry Village that Du Fu lived in a dilapidated thatched hut and still issued the ideal of sheltering the world's poor people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie faced the dispute, and suddenly had some thoughts about the mud. After all, human life is at stake, and many disputes are far from reaching the point of life and death, there is no need to hurt each other, and when is it time to retribution for wrongs.

But Zhang Yongjie thought about it again, the group of Japanese robbers on the southeast coast, they didn't live well in the East, but they crossed the sea and ran to the mainland to do evil, you say they are not looking for trouble?

After some contemplation just now, Zhang Yongjie hated those guys who took the initiative to stir up trouble the most, if it weren't for these guys who crossed mountains and mountains and crossed the ocean, where would there be so many disputes? How could so many relatives die?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie couldn't wait to be in the Nanjing military camp at the moment, and educate those guys who crossed the ocean well, so that they could know how high the day was and how deep the sea was.
