When the sacrificial dance took half an hour to perform, Wang Changming's figure reappeared in front of the steps of the Monkey King Hall, still holding a bamboo slip in his left hand, and holding his right hand high to the sky, and said loudly: "After the sacrificial dance, welcome the ancestral god!!"

After hearing Wang Changming's voice, the sound of the sheng flute and the qin sounded again, the third chapter of the sacrificial music began to play, and the forty dancers on the altar also danced the second part of the sacrificial dance along with the music. ,: 。

At the same time, from the high platform of the Monkey King Hall, there were eight rows of people walking down. It's just that this time in this queue, they are all 'women', all of them are good-looking, slim figures, wearing plain white long skirts, plain white streamers around the ground, Yingying walked over, floating like a fairy. The hands of the 'women' are clasped in front of the 'chest', and the slender 'jade' hands hold a tablet, but it is the tablet of the ancestors of the five masters of the Five Merchants League from the era of King Qi thousands of years ago to the present day. And these 'women' are the ancestors' 'servants' and 'women' of the Five Merchants Alliance.

In fact, generally speaking, in Suri, these ancestral tablets are enshrined in the Tianling Temple, a subordinate hall of the Monkey King Palace, rather than ordinary worship on important sacrificial days, and the people of the Five Merchants Alliance either go to the Tianling Hall to worship, or worship in the tomb mound of the King of Qi in the northeast corner of the Qi King Fort.

And the ancestral land of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance is actually in Qiwangbao City, but thousands of years ago it was just an ordinary small village in the east of Qizhou City. A thousand years ago, the King of Qi and their four major clans rose in the land of Qizhou and were named hereditary kings of Qi by the dynasty at that time. Later, Qiwangbao was established in the village where the ancestral land of the five families was located, and in the years that followed, it continued to develop together with Qizhou City. The ancestors of the Qi Wang clan and its four major clans were buried together in a hilly area located in the northeast corner of the current inner city of Qi Wangbao at that time, which was later the tomb of the King of Qi.

As for hundreds of years ago, the current dynasty was established, and the hereditary title of the king of Qi was removed, and the king of Qi and its four major subordinate clans were split by strong means, moving the Huang family to Hejian Mansion, moving the Zhang family to Qingzhou City, moving the Fang family to Dongchang Mansion, and moving the He family to Yanzhou City.

Since then, only the clansmen of the Wang clan of Qizhou have been buried in the tomb of King Qi after their deaths, while the other four families have found a cemetery for their respective clansmen in the four cities. It's just that the custom of enshrineing the spirit cards of the direct clan into the Monkey King Hall and the Heavenly Spirit Hall has continued to this day.

Nowadays, the tokens of the ancestors in the Heavenly Spirit Hall are only invited out in such as the New Year's Sacrifice Ceremony, or the Qingming Sacrifice Ceremony, and placed on the altar in the center of the main square of the Monkey King Hall to receive solemn sacrifices.

The ancestors who walked down were 'servants' and 'women', eight people in a row, and there were as many as 2,000 people. Of course, compared with the ancestors of the five masters of the Five Merchants Alliance who have passed away for thousands of years, these two thousand ancestral 'servants' and 'women' are not many. It's just that if you want to enter the Heavenly Spirit Palace, it's not so easy, first of all, you have to ask for the patriarch of the five major families, and there is no fault during the tenure, or you have not been ousted from the position, and those who can do a good job in the position of the patriarch, the second is the clansmen who have made great contributions to the development of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance, and the third is the clansmen who have a very high reputation or extremely important position among the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance. And if there is no accident among the clansmen of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance, they generally live a long life, and living for more than 100 years is like playing. In the history of the five major families of the Five Business Alliance, it is not uncommon for a patriarch to pass his patriarchal position directly to his great-grandson beyond his son and grandson. Therefore, the number of ancestors enshrined in the Heavenly Spirit Hall is not so exaggerated.

And those ancestral 'servants' and 'women' walked to the central altar step by step, and the last one just walked down the high platform of the Monkey King Hall.
