Chapter 3: Ancestor Worship (Chapter 2 for Damia)
This is the first time Chu Yun has seen the whole village appear together, Chu Yun and other children are also busy, except for one-year-old children, Chu Yun, these six-year-old children, also began to help. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info is just following the adults to serve the bowl and take something, but it's also a rare happy scene.
Chu Yun didn't go to help, because in the whole village, except for the smile of the child, every adult had a smile on his face, Chu Yun's consciousness was an adult, and he couldn't be as heartless as a child.
"Do these people want to take children as sacrifices, sacrifice to Hebo or something?" No wonder Chu Yun thinks about it, the adults in the village are all hot-tempered, and they usually beat their children when they don't go well, but on this day, no matter which one of them is very good to their children, even if they steal the sacrifices to their ancestors, the adults don't scold. Chu Yunke refers to the fact that Chinese have had the characteristic of seriously injuring their ancestors since ancient times, not to mention stealing sacrifices to ancestors, that is, not being solemn in the ceremony of ancestor worship is a big sin.
Chu Yun remembered a lot of "heroes and martyrs" in his mind, such as in "Journey to the West", there were monsters on the bank of the Tongtian River who wanted to eat children, and Wukong and Bajie turned into children as sacrifices to catch monsters. The youkai was cautious and escaped. After a plan, the snow in July, the frozen Tongtian River, Tang Seng and his people were anxious to cross the river, after finding out that there was no abnormality, they crossed the Tongtian River, did not want to be tricked, Tang Seng was caught by monsters at the bottom of the river. Wukong wants to cut down the monsters and protect Chenjiazhuang.
"What a mess, what are you thinking, even if you treat yourself as a sacrifice, there is no Monkey King Zhu Bajie to save yourself. Chu Yun threw out the messy thoughts in his mind, and after he found that his body had become smaller, his thoughts became more and more childish.
Just when Chu Yun was thinking nonsense, the ancestor worship ceremony in Taoyuan Village was finally completed, Chu Yun was caught back by his father, and then put on a costume in ancient costumes, this is the costume of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu Yun has understood.
The sleeves are wide, Chu Yun's body is small and supported on the ground, and the collar is a rectangular collar. The costume did not have a twist, it was tied around the waist, and Chu Yun's father didn't know where to take out a jade ornament and hang it on Chu Yun's waist, and tied a wooden sword to Chu Yun's waist.
Then Chu Yun's parents were also decorated, and after the same clothes as Chu Yun and his farmer-like father were dressed neatly, they actually had a sense of nobility. Chu Yun's mother was also dressed in a costume, and the ornaments such as Fuyao on her bare head were full of them.
Chu Yun's sister was able to speak now, and seeing her long hands, she was obviously interested in what was on her mother's head.
"Yu Wazi, these things will be left to you in the future. The old mother touched Chu Yu's little head very dotingly, and a line of tears flowed from her eyes, and she cried the clothes on her face.
"Don't cry, you can't delay worshipping your ancestors, hurry up. This time, Chu Yun's father took out the momentum of the head of the family and reprimanded his daughter-in-law for the first time, but Chu Yun's mother did not talk back as before.
Chu Yun was led by his father, Chu Yu was led by his mother, and then walked outside. Chu Yun saw that many villagers had already come out, and they were all dressed up to attend, and Chu Yun's family was taken to the ranks of the villagers surnamed "Chu".
The seven surnames in the village stood together, and they were distinct. It's just that the clothes on his body are different, and the colors are not the same, although Chu Yun knows that they are all ancient costumes, but he really doesn't know the difference.
The group all silently followed the person in front, looking very solemn, and the children did not dare to speak in this atmosphere.
The group quickly passed through the stones in front of the village, and continued to walk forward, this was the first time Chu Yun "went out of the village", he quietly looked around, looking very curious.
"Don't look around, be quiet. There was a loud shout in Chu Yun's ears, Chu Yun's heart shook wildly, this is the "secret language" of the earth-level master? Is there really someone in this village who is a martial arts master? Chu Yun was shocked, and forcibly endured the desire to see whose it was, and lowered his head and walked intently.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yun and the others finally walked to the place, Chu Yun couldn't help but glance up, and almost sat down on the ground in fright, only to see that there was a huge stone platform in front of him, on which there was a very tall stone pillar, exuding a crystal green light, and thousands of heads were densely packed around the stone pillar, but this was definitely not a human head, some were several feet high, very hideous.
Some of the children were so frightened that they cried, but under the majestic gaze of the old man who seemed to be watching, these children did not dare to cry anymore, but just endured convulsions, and the parents of these children did not care.
"The ancestor worship ceremony begins. "The oldest old man in the village stepped onto the stage, Chu Yun knew that this person was the father of their village chief, it is said that the surname is Qi, and he is now more than a hundred years old, he didn't expect that the confidence is so strong, the thousands of people in front of the stone platform can all hear it clearly, Chu Yun's position is very backward, and he instantly decided that this old man is an absolute master.
The patriarchs of the various surnames stepped forward. With the order of the old village chief, seven old men in their eighties walked up to the stage, each standing in front of the team with their own surname.
"Line up. Seven people shouted at the same time, only to see that all the men and women in their respective teams were separated, those in their eighties were in the front, those in their sixties were second, those in their forties were again, and those in their twenties were all carried to the back of the line.
The older the person, the fewer people there are, almost becoming a triangle, Chu Yun is with a child of his age, even a child does not dare to move, Chu Yun does not dare to look at it with his head down.
Only then did Chu Yun realize that all the children who were as big as him were boys, and all the girls who were as big as his sister Chu Yu were girls, and there was no exception, which was incredible. But before Chu Yun had time to think about it, the old village chief on the stage heard a voice.
"Kneel. All the villagers knelt down like machines, and Chu Yun couldn't help but kneel down too, he found that the old village chief's voice seemed to have magic power, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a neat scene.
"Sacrificial text. ”
Drunk with the words of the old village chief, all the patriarchs read out the sacrificial texts in thousands, but the strange thing about leading Chu Yun was that the first few people didn't know where to use the dialect, Chu Yun didn't understand it at all, and Chu Yun didn't know which one they were paying tribute to.
However, when it came to the sacrifice of the patriarch of the Chu State, Chu Yun understood it so-so.
"Great-glory ancestor, merit and glory......" Chu Yun could hear the general meaning, this memorial to the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, Chu Yun still heard it very confused.
Chu Yun remembered the impression of the Yellow Emperor in Chu Yun's heart: the leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance, the co-leader of the Chinese nation in ancient China, and the head of the Five Emperors. It is revered as the "first ancestor of humanity" in China. It is said that he is the son of Shaodian and Fubao, his original surname is Gongsun, and he later changed his surname to Ji, so he is called Ji Xuanyuan. Living in Xuanyuan Hill, called Xuanyuan, built in Youxiong, also known as Youxiong. Some people also call it "Dihong". The history of the Yellow Emperor is called the Yellow Emperor because of the Rui of Tude. The Yellow Emperor went down in history for his great achievements in unifying the Chinese tribes and conquering the Dongyi and Jiuli tribes to unify China. During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he sowed hundreds of grains and plants, vigorously developed production, and began to make clothes and crowns, build boats and cars, make music and rhythm, and create medicine.
He is indeed very great, but Chu Yun knows that in ancient times, except for the emperor who commemorated this great leader on important occasions, the rest of the families worshipped their ancestors when they worshipped their ancestors, and they would not pay tribute to the Yellow Emperor at will, so he was a little confused.
After a while, it was the turn of the head of the Wei family to read the sacrificial text, because Chu Yun's mother was a person with the surname Wei, so Chu Yun could also understand some of the words of the patriarch surnamed Wei, and the sacrificial text he read turned out to be a question of admiration for the Yellow Emperor.
Chu Yun became more and more incomprehensible to this village. However, soon after the patriarchs of each group finished chanting, they began to perform the next ritual. What kind of sprinkling, incense, these Chu Yun think it's normal.
Just when Chu Yun felt that it hurt to kneel on his knees, the old village chief ordered everyone to stand up. Then the older people of each surname walked out of the four, Chu Yun didn't dare to look around, but after a while, they all walked back, and the four of them carried a huge spiritual position, Chu Yun happened to see it, but I don't know what it was written on it was a seal script or what the word was, anyway, Chu Yun couldn't understand it, and the other surnames were also carried separately, Chu Yun looked straight ahead, and when a few spiritual positions passed, Chu Yun also read it, but although it was different from the font of the Chu family's spiritual position, it was the same that Chu Yun couldn't understand it.
Then the ancestor walked back to the Qi family, and each family began to worship the ancestor alone. When Chu Yun heard the Chu family's sacrifice, he was a little surprised, the Chu family is still the royal family?
