The seventy-two men have their own specialties and identities. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Some are businessmen on the rich side, some are officials who are mixed with officialdom, and there are even bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, they are old and young, men and women, and now they are sitting in the same hall, and they are extremely strange.

Su Xuefei's eyes were faint, and she swept over everyone present, always feeling that there was something abnormal today. But what was wrong, she couldn't say.

Beside him, the housekeeper Chen Fu was wearing a simple green robe, standing with his hands down and smiling.

He's old, and there's not been one event like this once. This time, the 60th birthday of the patriarch is a rare joy for Ling Jue Palace. Of course, Chen Fu was also extremely excited, and his mind couldn't help but think of the past, when he was still young, he followed the ancestor to saddle up and horse, so that the name of Ling Jue Palace was known to the world, and those days were the best memories in his life for Chen Fu.

"Uncle Chen?"

Su Xuefei's call made Chen Fu wake up suddenly from his memories, he settled down, bowed down and said, "What does the palace master command?"

Su Xuefei's eyebrows frowned slightly, there was no trace of age in the corners of her eyes, and she said softly: "Have you noticed that the people who have the best relationship with me haven't come yet?"

Chen Fu raised his eyes and looked at it carefully, searched it a few times below, and sighed, and said strangely: "Yes, Palace Master, among the seventy-two people, it should be Qu Yuexiang, the master of the Caijuan Gate, Luo Qingyang, the master of the Iron Sword Gate, and Lei Dazhao, the master of the Shenjun Gate, who have the closest relationship with you, but the three of them have not yet entered the palace at this time, which is indeed a bit unreasonable......

Su Xuefei snorted coldly, "Who sent the invitation to the ceremony?"

"The complete list of the seventy-two people has always been in the hands of the third master. Naturally, he was also in charge of the invitation this time. Chen Fu said truthfully.

Su Xuefei's face sank and looked around. But he only saw Su Xuefeng, Su Ruyuan, and Su Luofeng, but he didn't see Su Shangyu. I couldn't help but say angrily: "Where did Shang Yu go? Tell him to come to see me!"

Chen Fu hesitated slightly, bowed and said, "Palace Master, this ...... I'm afraid not, the third master went out of the palace to find Miss, and he hasn't come back yet......"

When Su Xuefei heard this, she remembered this.

In the past few days, she has been busy with the ceremony, and after learning that Su Caixiao eloped with Shen Zhuoyu, although she was so angry that she smoked, she had no time to take care of it.

"That damn girl. For that man, he didn't even care about the patriarch's ceremony, hmph, if she is caught this time, she will definitely be locked up for half a year!" Su Xuefei said hatefully, Chen Fu heard it on the side, and he could only smile slightly bitterly.

In the main hall, the doormen pushed the cups and changed the lamps, talking about the past and the present. The sacrifice is imminent. It is not good to drink, so everyone replaces wine with tea, and even so, the people scattered all over the world gather together. The atmosphere was still extremely enthusiastic.

Su Xuefeng and Su Ruyuan walked around, chatting with them one by one, serving tea, and there was a lot of communication between their eyes. It's a pity that Su Xuefei sat on the main seat and didn't realize it at all.

But all this Su Luofeng is in his eyes. He had just returned from the small hall of Fangxin, and from time to time he would look in the direction of the small hall. There is always a hint of worry between the eyebrows......

A few hours later, outside the snowy mountain, it was already early in the morning, and in the dark night, only the vague outline of the mountain could be seen.

According to the agreement, the auspicious time has arrived, and it is time to worship the ancestors.

The rest of the people still hadn't arrived, Su Xuefei gradually lost her patience, thinking that she couldn't delay the hour for them, so she stood up and stepped down from the main seat.

For a while, the huge Gathering Heart Hall was silent.

Su Xuefei took a deep breath, glanced at the main hall, and suddenly said in a long voice: "You have come from afar, this seat is grateful, presumably the spirit of the ancestor in the sky will also be relieved." The 60th birthday of the patriarch is a great joy for my Lingjue Palace, and all the people of my Lingjue Palace must sincerely visit and pray for the protection of the patriarch to ensure that my Lingjue Palace will have smooth weather and prosperity in the coming year!"

Everyone bowed deeply and said in unison: "May the ancestor bless, the wind and rain will be smooth, and all industries will be prosperous......"

"The auspicious time has come, so come with me. Su Xuefei shook her robe and strode away, and everyone lined up in two columns, following closely behind.

Out of the Gathering Heart Palace, not far away, you will arrive at the place of sacrifice, this is a high platform made of huge stones, there are already disciples who have arranged everything, just wait for Su Xuefei to arrive, you can start the ceremony.

Before the people walked to the high platform, lined up in four columns, stood solemnly, Su Xuefei came out of the crowd, lit incense and candles, and went to the high platform.

Knock - Knock - Knock -

With the simple and solemn bell, Su Xuefei climbed dozens of stone steps step by step, inserted the high incense into the furnace, and then took a scroll of recitation and chanted aloud.

During this period, Su Xuefeng and Su Ruyuan stood side by side, staring intently at Su Xuefei on the high platform.

After reading the text, Su Xuefei finally reached into his arms, took out a scroll of things, and carefully placed it on the altar, at that moment, Su Xuefeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

After Su Xuefei put down the object, he took three steps back, and bowed to the altar three times in a row, but just after two bows, he heard a noise behind him.

"Palace Master - I have something to say below!"

Su Xuefei frowned and turned around, but saw a strong man in a strong suit shouting while stepping out of the crowd.

Halfway through the ceremony, next, all the disciples originally bowed down, but who knew that there was a troublemaker, Su Xuefei's eyes were cold, and he said loudly: "Nangong Xin, if you have anything, wait until the ceremony is over, and now retreat!"

This Nangong Xin is the master of the Qianlongmen, his usual identity is a big salt merchant, and he is also a great god of wealth in the Lingjue Palace.

He didn't seem to hear Su Xuefei's warning, so he actually had to move forward and walked towards the high platform.

"Nangong Xin, what do you have to do, don't hurry up and retreat!!" Su Xuefei was furious and shouted at him.

Seeing the situation, several disciples hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, wanting to take Nangong Xin away, but one of them suddenly grabbed in front of him, "poof, poof" three palms, and forced several disciples to retreat.

The person who came was the eldest disciple Su Xuefeng, he smiled at Nangong Xin, and said, "Nangong Sect Master, if you have something to say, just say it!"

As soon as these words came out, the disciples were stunned for a moment, and Su Xuefei on the high platform was also stunned, and exclaimed: "Xuefeng, you ......" After that, I didn't know what to say.

Su Xuefeng slowly walked in front of everyone and sneered: "Master, the master of the Nangong Gate just has something to say, when did our Ling Jue Palace become so domineering, the master of the dignified gate, does I not even have the right to speak in my Ling Jue Palace?"

Chen Fu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly said, "Uncle...... The sacrificial thing must not be interrupted, otherwise it will collide with the ancestor immortal spirit......"

"Ha!" Su Xuefeng interrupted himself: "You are a minion, and you are really not qualified to speak!"

When Chen Fu heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he lowered his head tremblingly.

Su Xuefeng turned around, patted Nangong Xin's shoulder and said, "Okay, Nangong Sect Master, you can talk about it now." (To be continued.) )
