Chapter 637: It's Not What It Used To Be

"Why did my cousin help me enter the inner temple?"

Leaving from the exit of the inner temple, we have come to the north of Daegu City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThis place belongs to the back mountain, and there are few people. The two of them covered up a little, then avoided the eyes and ears of others, and ran all the way out of the Confucian Temple.

As soon as he stopped, Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask.

He easily entered the inner temple, thinking that it was because he was a Confucian and had a heroic and righteous spirit, but later, he learned that Ji Xiaoxian secretly arranged it for him.

Ji Xiaoxian asked, but smiled kindly: "You and I are a family, it's just convenient for my brothers, it's a trivial matter, and my cousin doesn't need to worry about it." ā€

Then, he stretched his waist and yawned: "I haven't slept all night, and I'm trapped to death." You have to go back and catch up on your sleep. ā€

After a pause, he suddenly woke up and said, "No, the sacrifice is about to start, and I can't sleep, so I still went to drink two sips to remind me." ā€

While talking to himself, he reflexively entered the Confucian Temple and ran towards his residence, without any positive shape.

Xiao Yi was so confused that he didn't have the slightest temper, but seeing that it was not early, he had to press down the suspicion in his heart, sighed, and hurriedly returned to the Shen Mansion.

When I approached the door, I heard a noise in the house. After listening to it roughly, it was all words such as "how is the young master" and "where did the young master go".

Yesterday, Xiao Yi won glory for the Shen family, but today came to a critical moment, but suddenly disappeared, how could the Shen family bear it.

However, there was one of them who sat quietly, silently, as if he was confident, and he was not worried, it was Shen Feng'er.

As soon as Xiao Yi stepped into the door of the mansion, everyone was overjoyed, and they gathered around him, as if they had exploded. Shen Feng'er said lightly: "Carry the young lady out and go!"

According to Confucian rules, female dependents were not allowed to participate in sacrifices. But today, Shen Yirou wanted to enter the inner temple with Xiao Yi, so she made an exception to go together.

Xiao Yi knew that there was no way to retreat from this matter, he sighed in his heart, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he greeted everyone and took the lead out of the house.

The 10,000-year-old birthday of the Confucian sage is an unprecedented event for Confucianism.

As soon as I got on the main road, I found that there were many people, and there were countless of them, which could only be described as a sea of people. Among them are Confucian disciples, as well as ordinary people in Qingzhou, as well as disciples of other sects who have come from afar to observe. The personnel are mixed, and the good and the bad are mixed.

But no matter what their identity is, when they arrived at the boundary of Kongmen, everyone was in order, and they only walked slowly along the auxiliary roads on both sides. In contrast, the broad avenue in the middle is very spacious, allowing horses to gallop.

A tall horse, a gorgeous car. At this time, it was the time to show the status of Confucius, and the disciples of Confucius raised their heads very high, looking tall and elegant, and outstanding.

However, when the Shen family came to the crowd, this situation was finally broken.

The Shen family is old, mixed in with it, and it is quite conspicuous. Everyone didn't know his identity, and they couldn't help but talk about it and speculate about it.

I only heard someone say, "Who is this? I don't even have a decent carriage or horse." ā€

Another humane: "It doesn't matter if you don't have decent cars and horses, you are embarrassed to come out and be embarrassed." Look at those subordinates, all of them are old, they should have gone home to recuperate. ā€

Someone else said directly: "The disciples of Confucius are really not as good as before." ā€

These discussions were all in one place, and the words were very loud, and naturally reached the ears of everyone in the Shen family.

Yesterday, Uncle Chen and Uncle Xia were ashamed because of this, but today, the whole Shen family ignored everyone's gossip and raised their heads high, and that pride surpassed that of other Confucian disciples in the same industry.

At this time, the disciples of Confucius near and far also discovered the Shen family, and the next scene surprised everyone on both sides, and they no longer dared to speak up.

I saw that the nearby Confucian disciples' faces changed slightly, and then they hurriedly lowered their heads, and secretly instructed the coachman to drive the horses to both sides, and invariably gave up the middle position and left it to the Shen family.

At the same time, all the Confucian disciples hugged their fists towards Xiao Yi and expressed their friendship.

Although Xiao Yi didn't like this kind of flattery, he didn't dare to be rude, and returned the salute one after another.

Under the Shen family, there are three pairs of horses, and they enter the Confucian Temple in such a majestic way, and they are admired by the world, which is really different from what it used to be.

Moreover, unlike yesterday's courtesy, as soon as Xiao Yi entered the temple gate, a disciple came to receive him and said: "The master of the door arranged for the Shen family to go to the Dacheng Hall to worship." Please come with me, the head of the house. ā€

Xiao Yi settled his family and followed him, all the way through the square.

I saw that in addition to the disciples of Confucius who participated in the sacrifice, there were also many young disciples wearing ceremonial robes, neatly lined up around the corridor, reciting the Analects of the Confucian sage.

In front of the square, there is a row of offering tables, which are filled with fragrant flowers and wine. The sound of the bell chime came out from the Dacheng Palace, and the sound of recitation made people feel quiet in their hearts, and the meaning of reverence rose spontaneously.

There were also many disciples holding jade talismans on both sides of the square, standing in line in an orderly manner, not knowing what they meant.

Xiao Yi saw this kind of pomp and circumstance, and said in his heart: "I heard that Confucianism is a heavy ceremony, and when I saw it today, it was true." ā€

When I came to the hall, I saw that the first sixteen families had not yet arrived, and the Shen family was arranged in the last position, standing at the door, and it seemed that the last family had been driven out.

The disciple who led the way was afraid that Xiao Yi was dissatisfied, and his expression was melancholy. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi stood in his position in a regular manner and said cordially: "You go down." ā€

The disciple was relieved and hurriedly bowed away.

In fact, Xiao Yi is not a person who cares about the ranking, he had to enter the top sixteen yesterday just to establish the prestige of the Shen family, and since he got what he wanted today, he didn't want to worry about others. And he knew that the first sixteen families all had a deep background, and one more person would mean that one more enemy would be established, which would not be beneficial to the Shen family.

Looking around, I saw that the hall was more finely arranged, and the offering table was full of offerings, which was extremely luxurious.

On both sides of the main hall, a group of people are beating or beating, or picking or plucking, concentrating on playing musical instruments, with beautiful postures and melodious music.

These people's playing skills are really good, and they can be called musician masters in Kyushu. However, after Xiao Yi listened to the sound of the heartstrings played by the bachelor, he was tasteless when he heard it, and he couldn't arouse his interest anyway.

There was nothing to do, and I couldn't help but recall the fingering movements of the master and meditate on myself.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard someone ask, "Cousin arrived early, did you sleep well last night?" This person is naturally the one who is undoubtedly a fairy in that season.

Xiao Yi heard that he deliberately concealed what happened last night, and felt slightly funny, so he also followed his words: "Last night was very good, I don't know how my cousin slept?"

Ji Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "I didn't sleep well, and I was trapped to death." Fortunately, I have a good daughter, Hong, otherwise I would not have any energy at all. ā€

Xiao Yi sniffed carefully, and sure enough, he smelled a smell of wine from his body. He thought that Ji Xiaoxian was just talking casually, but he didn't know that he really went back to drink. couldn't help but shake his head secretly and said: "This person is really bold, and he dares to drink at such an important moment today." ā€

"You ......" At this time, he saw Qi Diaoyun coming back from outside, and after smelling the wine on Ji Xiaoxian's body, he was furious, pointing at his person, and he was so angry that he trembled and couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoxian didn't dare to stay any longer, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly ran to his own position. (To be continued.) )
