Chapter 21: Ancestral Worship Ceremony (3rd Update, Please Recommend)
The two horses had just rushed out of the hundred feet, when suddenly a strong wind roared past them. The two saw a black light rushing straight towards the city gate. The firewood dragon was so fast that it even hit Ye Xu's head on the horse. The figure cannot be seen clearly!
"What a beef-eating beast!"
Zhou Shiwen sighed with emotion and hurriedly rushed out of the city gate, only to see that the dry firewood dragon had already disappeared without a trace.
Where the horse ran, large craters opened up in the ground, two feet apart. The horse's hooves stepped down with such amazing force that the soil on the ground exploded!
"Grandma, is this a horse or a dragon?"
Zhou Shiwen cursed angrily, patted the Fotan colt's head, and murmured: "A horse that doesn't eat grass and only eats veal is very powerful! I will feed you a few hundred kilograms of beef tonight, and try to catch up with that horse." A broken horse!"
Huo Tanju had some understanding of human nature, and when he heard this, he stopped suddenly, almost throwing him out, and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Dead horse, stinky horse, why don't you leave quickly?" Zhou Shiwen shouted angrily, and the charcoal horse became stubborn and refused to move.
Fang Chen laughed loudly, rushed past him, turned around and said: "Brother Zhou, it seems you are going to be at the bottom!"
Zhou Shiwen was furious. He suddenly dismounted and leaned under the horse's belly. With both hands, he lifted up the charcoal colt and chased Fang Chen with long strides. He cursed, "Grandma, I used to ride you." , now it’s your turn to ride me!”
The charcoal horse weighs a thousand kilograms, but in Zhou Shiwen's hands it is as light as nothing. His pace is as fast as a good horse. People have to admire his amazing brute strength!
Ye Xu was sitting on the back of Gan Chai Jiao, and the strong wind hit his face, which felt a dull pain, forcing him to lean over the horse's back. He could only see things on both sides passing by, and he could not see clearly with his eyesight. , I was surprised and happy in my heart: "People cannot be judged by their appearance, and horses cannot be judged by their appearance! This horse, as thin as dry wood, must be a hybrid between a dragon and a horse! The owner of the Horse Sanbao Farm is indeed a horse-knowledgeable man. He is making fun of my Ye family. My dear, no one can see the strangeness of this Gan Chai Jiao, and they all regard it as a bad horse, and no one wants to ride it!"
The Temple of Heaven for Worshiping Ancestors in Liuzhou is on the left bank of the Qingshui River, about six or seven miles away from the city of Liuzhou. With the strength of Gan Chai Jiao's feet, he could reach the vicinity of the Temple of Heaven for Worshiping Ancestors in just a few breaths. It was as fast as lightning!
Ye Xula reined in his horse, asked Gan Chai Jiao to slow down, and took out a piece of veal weighing two to three kilograms from his backpack. Gan Chai Jiao immediately took the beef in his mouth, swallowed it in several mouthfuls, and tamely wagged his tail.
The young man in blue shirt looked up and saw that the Temple of Heaven for Worshiping the Ancestors was already overcrowded, with people from the three major Wuhuang families everywhere, clearly distinguishable from each other.
Some of these people are clan members participating in the Hunting Festival, and some are senior members of the three major families who are responsible for presiding over ancestor worship ceremonies. Even the most powerful people from the three major families are among them!
The Temple of Heaven for Worshiping Ancestors in Liuzhou worships the common ancestor of the Jiuli and Miao descendants in Miaojiang, the witch ancestor Chi Qi Da Mo!
According to legend, Chi Qi, the great demon with four heads and eight arms, was a peerless strongman from the ancient barbaric period. He had vast magical powers and witchcraft!
Chi Qi, the Great Demon, competed with the then Juntian Emperor for the position of Heavenly Emperor, but was defeated and died. His body turned into towering mountains, his blood turned into rivers, his breath turned into clouds, and his tears turned into rain.
The ancestors of the various Miao ethnic groups in Jiuli were born from Chi Qi’s corpse, multiplied and multiplied, and became the various ethnic groups in Jiuli today!
Things in ancient times have long been unfounded, so the authenticity of this legend cannot be verified. However, the tradition of worshiping Chi Qi, the ancestor of witchcraft, has been passed down in Miao territory.
Ye Xu drove his horse into the crowd. Countless eyes fell on him, and there were comments everywhere.
"Is this trash here too? Hasn't his meridians been cut off and his cultivation base lost?"
"Does he also want to participate in the Hunting Festival? With his current strength, even ordinary people can't beat him. Going to Baiman Mountain to hunt will mean death!"
"Perhaps this kid has collapsed, and he doesn't dare to commit suicide, so he has to ask the monster to eat him to avoid embarrassment!"
…
Ye Xu turned a deaf ear, but saw the master of the palace, Ye Sidao, walking towards this side, and Ma Sanbao followed him step by step.
Ye Xu quickly dismounted, bowed and said: "Palace Master!"
Ye Sidao looked him up and down several times, with a surprised look in his eyes.
Ye Xu felt that his gaze was like a torch, as if he could see through his own body and see through his internal organs. Even his inner thoughts seemed to be unable to be hidden from his eyes!
He must not be able to hide the fact that his injuries have healed and his cultivation has gradually recovered!
"You are very good. I originally planned to give you something, but it seems I won't need it now." Ye Sidao showed a smile in his eyes, turned around and walked back to the altar.
Ye Xu blinked and wondered: "Did the Palace Master come to see me just to praise me? Also, what exactly does the Palace Master want to give me?"
Ye Sideo returned to the altar, as if he had put down the big stone in his heart, with a smile on his face and nodded to everyone, attracting everyone's attention.
"That bastard Ye Sideo is crazy. He actually smiled at me. Is he mocking me for losing to him?" An old man in a fiery red robe flashed his eyes and thought to himself.
Another old man in gray robes on the altar blinked his eyes and smiled at the entourage beside him: "Ye Sidao has always had an expressionless face, which made me think he had some strange disease and his facial muscles were stiff! What's wrong with you today? She actually laughed! Grandma’s smile was so ugly!”
Ye Sidao walked to Ye's seat and sat down, his smile not diminishing.
Ma Sanbao stood behind him and whispered: "Why is the master of the palace so happy?"
"My Ye family has a successor, so I will naturally be happy."
Ye Sidao turned his head and glared at him, smiling and saying, "What a Ma Sanbao, you have kept it a secret from me!"
Ma Sanbao was shocked. Ye Sidao said this, which undoubtedly meant that he regarded Ye Xu as his successor. He smiled bitterly and said, "Seventh Master doesn't allow me to spread it, and the Lord of the Palace didn't ask, so Sanbao naturally didn't dare to mention it. Lord of the Palace, I wonder what you want to give to Seventh Master?"
Ye Sidao turned his palm lightly, and a small and exquisite jade box appeared in his palm. He exhaled and said, "It's this thing, but it's useless now."
"This is..."
Ye Sidao said calmly, "Tianxiang Xuanming Pill."
Ma Sanbao was shocked and said in a lost voice, "Could it be the Tianxiang Xuanming Pill from the Liangwang Mansion in Qingzhou? The Liangwang regards this elixir as his life, how could it appear in the hands of the Lord of the Palace?"
There are many sorcerers in the Liangwang Mansion in Qingzhou, and the Liangwang is a famous master of sorcery. I don't know what means Ye Sidao used to get the Tianxiang Xuanming Pill from the Liangwang!
Ye Sidao laughed loudly, and suddenly he started to cough violently. His face turned pale for a moment, and then it became rosy again.
"Master, you are injured!" Ma Sanbao was shocked.
Ye Sidao waved his hand and said proudly: "This injury is nothing. I left Liuzhou a few days ago, sneaked into the Liang Wang Mansion, and took the Tianxiang Xuming Pill from the Liang Wang! The Liang Wang of Qingzhou is indeed powerful, but I am not bad either. I was injured, and he is not much better!"
Ma Sanbao was shocked. Ye Sidao had indeed disappeared for a while in the past few days. He didn't expect that he would rush to Qingzhou, thousands of miles away, break into the Liang Wang Mansion, and fight a fierce battle with the Liang Wang!
Ma Sanbao was silent for a moment and said, "Why didn't the mansion master tell the Seventh Master?"
Ye Sidao disagreed: "If his injuries had not healed, I would naturally tell him and use the Tianxiang Xuming Pill to heal him. Now that his injuries have healed, telling him about this would make me look like I'm doing him a favor?"
Ma Sanbao sighed in his heart. Ye Sidao was just like that. He was wholeheartedly for the Ye family, but he didn't want anyone to know.
After Ye Sidao left, Ye Xu felt the strange eyes of the crowd falling on him again, with envy, jealousy, hatred, hostility, and all at the same time.
Ye Xu didn't care. He had experienced ups and downs, and his state of mind had long been honed to be exquisite and thorough. Other people's eyes could not interfere with his state of mind at all.
The ancestral worship ceremony gradually came to an end, and the children of the three major families got on their horses and got ready.
There are a lot of people participating in the hunting festival today. There are more than 40 people from the Ye family, more than 30 people from the Fang family and Zhou family, and the three major families each sent two outer door managers who have reached the innate realm to protect them, totaling 120 people!
After the ancestor worship ceremony, the children of the three major families immediately set off, people like tigers, horses like dragons, roaring towards Baiman Mountain, with great momentum, smoke and dust everywhere where the horses passed!
Ye Xu followed the children of the Ye family slowly, and not far behind him were two outer door managers sent by the Ye Mansion to protect them, and Ye Li was also among them.
