Chapter 366: Ancestor Worship and Sword Sacrifice
??? Li Fu also saw the scene he didn't want to see the most, he was as disgusting as eating a fly, and his originally good mood suddenly deteriorated. He said goodbye to the people around him and turned to leave. Not to stay here any longer.
Seeing him leave, Lin Luoyao's heart was full of pride. And Qiu Yuling also felt relieved. Neither of them liked this Li Fu. Lou Yun didn't know what was going on, but he could tell that Li Fu left because of the two of them.
Lou Yun glanced back at the two of them, planning to go back and ask about this matter again. After all, it is inconvenient for there to be a lot of people here, and it is not too late to talk about it when there is time for the three of them to be alone.
Lin Luoyao saw the people who came to the sword pool to wait, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute them one by one. These are all valuable network resources, and Lin Luoyao will not let them go so easily.
Murong Zheng was already waiting there, but he didn't see the owner Murong Cheng.
When Murong Zheng saw Lou Yun and the others coming, he said loudly: "Tonight is the night when I take the sword from the Hundred Swords Villa, and my father is slightly ill and it is inconvenient to come." Thank you for your understanding. ”
When everyone heard that Murong Cheng was not coming, it was all you looking at me and I looking at you, everyone began to speculate, but no one asked. Because they all knew that this was just an excuse for the Murong family to prevaricate, just a reason.
Therefore, no one in the crowd went to find unhappiness and entangled in this matter.
When Murong Zheng saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Everyone, please come with me." Then the bronze gate of the sword pool was pushed open by two wrestlers.
And Murong Zheng took the lead and was the first to take the sword with everyone. After entering the Sword Pool Hall, Murong Zheng stopped. Then he said to the crowd: "Since my father is not there, the sword of the best grade will be taken by the few who led the winners of the contest below. And the mid-grade sword will be taken by the steward of my Murong Mansion to appreciate it. If you like it, you don't have to be polite, just take it. It is also their honor to have those mid-grade swords in your hands. ”
Everyone said: "Murong Gongzi, please take it, if the Hundred Swords Villa allows, I will enjoy it myself." ”
Murong Zheng thanked: "Thank you for your understanding. Please come with me the winners of the competition. ”
Murong Zheng led the way, while Lou Yun and the others followed. Lin Luoyao, the "Autumn Village Master", stayed where he was, waiting for them to come out. However, she was also invited by everyone to go and enjoy the sword together. However, seeing that she couldn't go in again, she also specially told Qiu Yuling to take the slender one.
When he came to Longbi, Murong Zheng turned to Lou Yun and the others and said, "Everyone, if you want to take a sword, you have to abide by a rule of my Murong family. ”
Lou Yun and the others glanced at each other, but it was Lan Qi who spoke, Lan Qi arched his hand and asked coldly, "Dare to ask Murong Gongzi what are the rules for taking this sword?"
Hearing Lan Qi talk to him, Murong Zheng's heart was very happy, at least this proved that Lan Qi was no longer so angry with him. Although it is impossible to be with her, Murong Zheng still hopes to be friends with her, after all, the two of them have loved each other deeply.
Murong Zheng clenched his fists and said to the sky: "I think you all know that my Murong family is the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty during the Wei and Jin dynasties. That's why there is this dragon wall. Although my Murong family is a Hu person, they have special respect for the sword of the Central Plains, so the children of the Murong family are famous for their sword-casting skills. My Murong family respects the sword, and the sword has a spirit. Therefore, before you take the sword, you first want to sacrifice the ancestor of my Murong family, and then sacrifice the sword. ”
Lou Yun and the others looked at each other and nodded. Lou Yun said: "Since it is the rule of the Murong family, the guest is as he pleases." Murong Gongzi's words, we follow them. ”
After hearing Lou Yun's words, everyone had no opinion. Murong Zheng looked at everyone's reactions and said, "That's good, thank you here now." After speaking, he bowed to everyone.
One of the winners this time was a senior disciple of the Cangwu faction, and he said to Murong Zheng: "Master Hou doesn't have to make this big gift. ”
Murong Zheng said with a smile: "The prince is high below, although he is a prince in the court, he is a friend with everyone in the opposition." When friends meet, they don't talk about the etiquette in officialdom. Please also clean your hands first. ”
Murong Zheng pointed to a stone lotus. This is a lotus flower carved out of a stone pillar, and inside the lotus is pure water dripping from the roof of the cave.
Murong Zheng walked to the lotus first, cleaned his hands carefully, and then picked up the towel on the side to dry it.
Stood aside. The crowd followed him as he had just looked. Hands cleaned are done.
Then several sword refiners walked over, all holding three lit bodhi sticks in their hands.
A sword refiner handed the Bodhi incense in his hand to Murong Zheng.
After Murong Zheng took it, he walked to the dragon wall, bowed to the dragon wall three times, and then inserted the incense on the bronze giant tripod in front of the dragon wall.
Lou Yun and the others also took the incense and bowed three times to the dragon wall in front of them, following the example of Murong Zheng. Then the incense is inserted on top of the bronze tripod.
Although Qiu Yuling thought it was strange, she was still very religious.
Because of this ancestor worship ceremony of the Murong family, she remembered the appearance of going to the Houshan Mausoleum with her father before, although the Bird Tomb is called a mausoleum, but it is not the ancestral tomb of the Qiu family, as for what is hidden in the Bird Tomb, his father did not specifically mention it. I only know that there are many important things of the Qiu family hidden in it, such as the map of the peacock feather that everyone on the rivers and lakes dreams of.
However, his father did say that the Bird Tomb was divided into two parts, the Outer Tomb and the Inner Tomb, and the place where these things were hidden was only the Outer Tomb. And what is in the inner tomb of the real core, no one knows. Including her grandfather didn't know. And the ancestral token of the Qiu family, the Qiushui card is just a key to open the outer tomb.
When everyone finished worshipping, Murong Zheng said: "Okay, you can count this ancestor sacrifice as the end of the sacrifice, and the next step is to sacrifice the sword." ”
Lou Yun asked, "Dare to ask Murong Gongzi if this sacrificial sword hits his own blood on the sword?"
Murong Zheng nodded and said, "Lou Gongzi is only half right, it is indeed on the swords, but it is not on those swords. My Murong family's ancestors orally trained the sword Ben Fan Iron, because of the attachment and psychic, because of the heart moved, because of the blood to live, because of the non-thought and death. Although he lives because of blood, he also dies because of non-thoughts. All you have to do is drip your own blood into this spring. ”
After saying that, Murong Zheng pointed to an inconspicuous "puddle".
But this time Murong Zheng didn't do it, but waited for them.
The swordsmith on the side handed over a knife.
The first to take it was Nangong Li, although Nangong Li came to participate in this sword appreciation conference for the first time, but he was still familiar with the process of sacrificing the sword.
Nangong Li slashed his fingers, and then dripped three drops of blood into the spring.
He then returned the knife to the swordsmith, who applied some ointment to her hands. The bleeding stopped immediately.
