Chapter 19 Xu Family Ancestral Hall
The ancestral hall of the Xu family is in a remote corner of the villa, which is the forbidden place of the villa, and no one is allowed to set foot in the ancestral hall except for the blood of the Xu family. Even Xu Qing's mother was only able to enter the ancestral shrine after her death, but she never entered the ancestral shrine before her death.
Xu Qing rarely went to the Xu family ancestral hall when he was young, he always felt that it was a little depressing, and he didn't like that atmosphere, so except for worshipping the ancestors during the New Year's holidays, Xu Qing generally didn't go to the ancestral hall.
After Xu Qing and his father finished eating, he was dragged by his father to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.
The Xu family has not lived in Yunmeng Mountain for generations, but moved from other places about 100 years ago, so the Xu family ancestral hall also has a history of about 100 years.
The ancestral hall of the Xu family is completely built of rosewood, which looks very luxurious, and the years of a hundred years have not left much wind and frost on it, and it is still as new as when it was newly built, and there is no trace of carving of the years, and it seems that the years have stopped flowing here.
Xu Qing followed his father into the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall was inlaid with a lot of night pearls, and the soft light expelled all the darkness from the outside, and the ancestral hall looked very bright.
The ancestral hall is spotless, and there is not the slightest mess, obviously Xu Qing's father often comes to clean it. There are not many spiritual seats on the altar in the ancestral hall, and the names on them are engraved with gilded characters, which refracted the wisps of gold into Xu Qing's eyes, making each spiritual position appear dazzling and dazzling.
Xu Qing just glanced at it casually, and then his gaze was fixed on a certain place, and he was distracted for a long time, there was a spiritual seat there, which was engraved: the spiritual seat of his beloved wife Shangguan Yuru.
Shangguan Yuru is Xu Qing's mother-in-law, but unfortunately it is difficult for Xu Qing to recall the bits and pieces of his mother-in-law from memory, because when he was only two or three years old, his mother-in-law passed away. However, these did not affect Xu Qing's feelings for his mother, when he was a child, he always pestered his father to tell him some things about his mother, and then began to fantasize about those scenes in his mind.
His mother-in-law Shangguan Yuru was born in a famous family, worthy of the name, dignified and beautiful, gentle and graceful, is a good wife, and his father said that it is his great creation and God's grace to be able to marry his mother.
His mother was born in a scholarly family, intelligent, had the ability to never forget, read poetry and books, hid splendid in her chest, and had a good fortune in her abdomen.
His mother-in-law has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and there are countless sons and grandsons and literati and chivalrous warriors who pursued her mother-in-law in the capital.
His mother's talent is excellent, and he is perfect in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even the famous masters in the capital are also proud of themselves.
Her mother was the best mother in the world, and when he was still in the womb, his mother always spent a lot of time reading to him every day, just because the old people said that the child would be smart when he was born.
......
These are all things he learned from his father, in Xu Qing's eyes, his mother is the most perfect woman in the world, but... It's just that he has always blamed himself in his heart, if it wasn't for his birth, his mother might not have passed away, right?
Xu Tianshan reluctantly took his eyes off his beloved wife's spiritual position, but saw Xu Qingzheng looking at his mother's spiritual position in a daze, Xu Tianshan sighed softly and called softly:
"Qing'er"
Xu Qingzheng stared at his mother's spiritual position, thinking about his father's description of his mother, thinking about his mother's excellence, thinking about his mother's love for him, and gradually fell into deep self-blame, unable to extricate himself, and the clarity in his eyes seemed to be gradually dissipating.
Cultivating immortals, fighting with the sky, going against the sky, on the road of cultivation there are many hardships, thousands of difficulties and dangers, only by keeping the Lingtai clear at all times, can we stick to the heart of the Tao, overcome obstacles on the road of cultivation, and move forward.
Xu Qing is in deep torment in his heart today because of his self-blame, if he can't wake up in time, his Dao heart will be flawed, and at worst, the spiritual energy in his body will be riotous, and finally he will explode and die.
Immortal cultivators pursue the path of immortals, and if they want to break through the shackles of heaven and earth, heaven and earth will naturally send punishments, so they will inevitably experience the obstruction of the heavenly tribulation on the path of cultivation, and only by experiencing the test of the heavenly tribulation and completing the obstacles set by heaven and earth can they move to a higher level.
And in the tribulation of the heavenly calamity, there is a calamity of the demons, if there is a flaw in the heart of the Dao, when the heavenly tribulation is experienced in the future, it is easy for the demons to enter the body, and under the tribulation, the body and soul will be destroyed, completely turned into ashes, and disappear from the world forever.
Xu Qing, who was immersed in deep self-blame, felt that his father's light call seemed to be heard in his ears, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity, he naturally didn't know the danger he had just experienced, and looked at his father suspiciously.
"Qing'er, are you blaming yourself?" asked Xu Tianshan softly, the smile on his face was kind.
"If it weren't for me, I don't think my mother would have kissed her..."Xu Qing choked up a little, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his father.
"No, Qing'er, you are wrong, your mother's health has not been good, Lang Zhong advised your mother not to have children, that would hurt her body too much, I also advised your mother not to have children, but your mother is dead or alive, your mother said: Life in the world is just a hurry of dozens of cold and summer, she doesn't want to leave from this beautiful world without leaving anything, she wants a little life, she wants a child who can affectionately call her mother. ”
"You are my child, even if it is life, for you, I will not be stingy, and your mother's love for you will only be deeper than that of your father. So as long as you live happily, it is the greatest reward for your mother. ”
Xu Tianshan explained, his eyes were full of love, he didn't want his Qing'er to feel the slightest guilt.
"Won't my mother blame me?"
"How can there be a reason for a mother to resent her own child? Your mother has never regretted giving birth to you until she died, and for your mother, you are the continuation of her life. Before your mother died, you were already able to speak, and she always took the trouble to ask you to call her mother, and your mother smiled so happily, even when she died, she had a smile on her face. Thinking of his wife's smile at that time, the corners of Xu Tianshan's mouth unconsciously curved an arc.
"But after all, it's because of me, my mother..."Xu Qing choked up.
"Your mother is a very traditional woman, unfilial piety is the greatest, if your mother can't give birth to a child for her father, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life, and it is difficult for her to be happy even if she lives without a child.
Moreover, your mother's body is not very good, and it is precisely because of this that she looks down on life, your appearance can be regarded as the continuation of your mother's life, and it is precisely because of your appearance that your mother's life is more and more brilliant, so that her ordinary life is full of laughter and warmth.
There are always some things in this world that are worth our lives, for your mother, Qing'er is far more important than everything, only Qing'er is happy, your mother will feel happy, if your mother knows that you are like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rest even under the nine springs, right?"
"I understand, father, my mother doesn't want to see me unhappy in the spirit of heaven, I will live well, live better than anyone else, so that I can be worthy of the life that my mother gave me. Xu Qing raised his head, looked at somewhere in the void, and said firmly.
"It's good if you understand, come with me to worship the ancestors!" Xu Tianshan smiled with relief.
