Chapter 44: Watching the Sacrifice Ceremony
Three days was just an instant for the monk, and Xiao Daochen also bathed early, changing his appearance, but he brought filial piety, which was no different from the Zeng family.
At this time, there are only black and white people who rushed to the cemetery next to the ruins of the original Zeng Xi Town, the white is the Zeng family, and the black is other monks, since they came, worshipping the ancestors of the infant and becoming powerful is also a tribute, not to mention that the parents of the third uncle have been dead for almost 600 years, but they also deserve the sacrifice of the younger generations of future generations.
The Zeng family was in groups, and Xiao Daochen was also mixed in after his appearance changed, but he followed the head of the Zeng family. And there were bursts of crying in the middle of the crowd, but seeing the daughter of the Zeng family crying and dying, Xiao Daochen was also amazed, people who have been dead for almost 600 years are still crying so much, mothers and sons are expensive. Xiao Daochen didn't pay attention to it, and followed everyone to the sacrificial platform.
The Zeng family claimed to have been protected by their predecessors, and attached great importance to this sacrifice, and invited the Taoist priest to come to chant and pray every year.
But I saw that the Taoist priest was dancing on the altar for a long time, singing and dancing to the cut off and washed cattle and sheep in front of him, Xiao Daochen came on behalf of the third uncle, and he bowed respectfully, and he didn't dare to laugh. After the Taoist said something he couldn't understand, he said in a serious way: "The descendants of the younger generations, worship the ancestors, I have a profit, I only have a hundred million, I think that wine and food, to enjoy the sacrifice." Sacrifice sake to the calf, enjoy the ancestral examination, hold its luan knife, to open its hair, take its blood spine, to filial piety to the ancestors... ”
Xiao Daochen probably understands it, and it is a sentence structure that only exists during the transition period between the ancient era of writing and modern writing, and it is extremely awkward.
Half a day passed, and Xiao Daochen also kept the ritual in a proper manner, but in his heart he was thinking, is there any meaning to sacrifice? Is it helpful to people who have passed away? If not, it is not a waste of money, as the book says, the so-called sacrifice is meaningless, people give it a special meaning, and it has a special meaning.
I also remembered what the book said, 12,000 years ago, there were still ghost cultivators in the world, but I don't know what happened 12,000 years ago, since then ghosts can no longer live for 7 days, even if there is still an obsession, can become a ghost cultivator before death, but unfortunately they can only usher in a second death, even if you are hiding in a treasure that can protect the soul, you can't stop the disappearance of the soul.
None of the explanations in the book have anything to do with the closure of the Tomb Realm 12,000 years ago.
Although the spirit cannot survive for more than 7 days, it is indeed possible for the Yuan Infant to leave the body for 7 days. So what is the relationship between the Yuan Infant and the Divine Soul? If the two are the same or the Yuan Infant is the evolution of the Divine Soul, why can the Yuan Infant leave the body and not be afraid of dissipating like the ghost cultivator, if it doesn't matter, why the Yuan Infant can cultivate the method of the Divine Soul, the Yuan Infant will also be impacted by the enemy's Divine Soul. Xiao Daochen didn't understand, so he could only explore slowly.
The sacrifice was carried out for three days, and the monk who came from afar to see the third uncle went back at the end of the first day, needless to say, Xiao Daochen followed the Zeng family and sacrificed for three days. On the fourth day, he got up and returned, and before leaving, several maids in the residence also gave a reward and sent away, and the empty yard was occasionally taken care of by the Zeng family, and then he stepped on the dust.
The return journey was also smooth, and half a month later smoothly returned to the sect, the first far away experience is over, Xiao Daochen is very happy, he went to say hello to his father and mother early, the family had a reunion dinner, and the mother sighed and asked for warmth during the banquet and said goodbye, and after the family dispersed, Xiao Daochen went to practice alone.
If you don't practice for a long time, not only will your body be dull, but even if you will regress in your cultivation, although it is very small, but it should not be underestimated over time, so the kind of monk who has been suppressed for thousands of years will fall into several realms because of the inability to cultivate for a long time.
Affected by the large cultivation environment, there are very few monks to study the cause, but the answer is also given, the physique and soul of the cultivator are far stronger than ordinary people, and the consumption of each moment is also quite huge.
Cultivation can achieve great freedom, but it is difficult to grasp freedom, and once you enter the cultivation, you can't help it!
This time, when I saw my father, I would help myself wash the essence and cut the marrow for the second time after helping for a month, and it would be very painful to impact the eleventh layer of Qi training, Xiao Daochen didn't dare to slack off, so he went back to recuperate.
