She Is Not a Witch Chapter 13: Mountain worship
Following a group of people who came to express their condolences, Lorraine Hill climbed up the wide stone steps step by step, and the drums on both sides became louder and louder. came.
"Ice Porcelain School, Master Shuiyun has arrived—"
"Siqing Chamber of Commerce, shopkeeper Xue Yan has arrived—"
"Wu Hook Men, Master Zhan Yue, Master Shuang Lin arrived—"
"Yuanlang Island, Master Xin Zeya arrived—"
"Qingyue Temple, Master Biyan has arrived——"
Any distinguished guests who step into the main entrance will be announced to the audience, telling the prestige and power of the 'Tuoshitang'.
However, just under the mountain gate full of people, a noisy sound gradually came from a distance.
The crowd was in an uproar, and various discussions followed, and then there was a burst of exciting beating sounds, which seemed to be hitting the stacked bamboo boards with something, causing them to collide with each other. In one piece, like thousands of people stepping on their feet, marching forward in unison, excited and passionate.
Although this kind of music is very good, and it immediately attracted countless people to watch on the river, but the ones who hit the music are nine large dragon boats with blue scales, and there are about 500 people on each of these dragon boats , there are two rows on the left and right sides, they hold long oars with both hands, and paddle neatly, while the middle row shaped like a dragon's crest is equipped with a large square fou, and the members wearing dragon pattern Tsing Yi put their hands on the big fou Tapping and knocking made a continuous and vibrating sound.
"Hedaizhou, Panlonghui." Passers-by beside the girl whispered the identities of these aggressive visitors.
As a big faction with the same reputation as Tuoshitang, Panlonghui has never been weak, and because the waterway leads directly to Luojing, it has more allies in the officialdom than Tuoshitang, and now it is extending its influence to Molei Qizhou, fighting with Tuoshitang.
"How dare they come?"
"Why don't you dare, I'm afraid this time is just to use the name of condolences to strengthen my prestige."
"If Tuoshitang accepts it without saying a word this time, those wavering forces in the central region will immediately fall to Panlonghui."
"Hey, the death of the old sect master has affected many people's trust in Tuoshitang."
"Let's see which hero in the sect can take over as the master of the sect and show his glory again."
"It's difficult, the other factions are all weak and dead, but because Tuoshitang has many masters, but each is proud, no one can convince anyone, so the old sect master has been procrastinating in choosing a successor over the years. Very long."
Different from other factions living together, Tuoshitang is widely distributed and powerful, but it also brings some disadvantages. It is difficult for any branch master or general to convince everyone, after all The masters and rudders of the churches all over the world are all raised from the bottom, with their own team and self-confidence. It is difficult to convince these people who have traveled all over the world and have seen a lot.
Although the old sect master is old, he is almost the elder of all hall masters and rudder masters.
But with the passing of the old man, although Tuoshitang is still strong, it lacks a lion king who can overwhelm the lions, which makes many good organizations worry about it.
After a burst of noise and chaos, several people dressed in black lion patterns walked out from the crowd. They were all sixth-level masters and generals in the Tuoshi Hall.
These men came to the riverside wharf with several hundred members of the Red Lions armed with knives.
When the dragon boat, which was beating non-stop, approached, these generals clasped their fists together, and the drums on the steps of the mountain gate suddenly stopped at this moment, and then they rang together. That sound was like thunder rolling on the ground.
The drums, which were already loud and loud, resonated with the same rhythm, making more than ten times the sound of the previous ones, facing the nine Jade Lin dragon boats that were about to dock in front of the river bank, instantly suppressing the original beating sound of the dragon boats. Down.
"We are guests from afar, please!" Their voices were the same, spreading all the way across the river.
"Hahaha, the Tuoshi Hall is really grand, I'm not invited, please forgive me!"
On the frontmost dragon boat, a Panlonghui general dressed in white dragon embroidered clothes stepped out, wearing a silver thread cloak and holding a green dragon flag. He jumped off the dragon boat and landed on the open space of the pier.
Soon, strong men in green clothes rolled over like swallows, jumped off the dragon boat, landed behind the general, and followed him to meet the members of Tuoshitang on the shore.
If it was half a month ago, when the two sides met, they would have to fight for life and death, but today is a special day after all, and these Panlong Club members came here in the name of condolences, which also made the people in Tuoshi Hall feel bad. Turn your face directly.
Although all the members of the Tuoshi Hall present had no **** on their faces, and many of them suppressed their anger and were ready to move, but under the control of several hall masters and generals, they did not break the rules and made a fuss directly.
After the thousands of people from the Panlong Society arrived, they did not go directly to the mountain gate, but waited quietly for the guests in front to finish.
When the steps on the mountain gate were gradually empty and the people waiting on both sides of the bank were restless, the group of strong men in green clothes led them to the steps.
However, the scene in front of the mountain gate was not as peaceful as before. The members of Tuoshitang who were beating drums on both sides changed their previous rhythm and began to use all their energy (magic power) to beat the sea beast drum in front of them. The overflowing sound waves echoed on the drum surface like a shock wave, even if it was hundreds of meters apart, it seemed to be able to shatter the heart, and now this huge wave-like drum sound has become the first obstacle for Panlong to worship the mountain .
We Tuoshitang gave you face, but if you are not strong enough to climb this mountain gate, then don't blame us for being rude.
In this case, although it was not stated explicitly, everyone present could guess some of it.
The sound of the drums was repeated, and the Panlonghui general who was walking in front felt a heavy pressure on his body as soon as he took the first step. Although he didn't know the exact reason, he looked up at the high mountain gate and could guess This is the prohibition and magic circle set up by Tuoshitang.
"Huh!"
Faced with such a situation, he had been mentally prepared for a long time. He activated the extraordinary core in his body, and then stepped heavily, leaving a footprint on the stone steps. Floor spread.
In this way, step by step, the general walked towards the mountain gate under heavy pressure.
The body became extremely heavy, and the feet were filled with lead, every time it was lifted, it took a huge amount of strength.
In this way, after walking halfway through the stairs, the senior officials of the Tuoshi Hall under the archway of the mountain gate watched as their brows became more and more wrinkled, and their faces darkened.
After that, several people looked at each other, nodded, and then raised their hands to signal.
Soon, lion dancers with black stripes on a white background came out from both sides of the mountain gate. They were in groups of two. Hei Hua, with tears in the lion's eyes, came alive under the control of the two, dancing three times with one step, and the steps were as light as weight, and the flexibility gave people a sense of masculinity and beauty.
These lion dancers first performed on both sides of the mountain road, then walked up the main steps step by step, rolled back and forth, and then jumped on each other.
However, for the members of the Panlong Club worshiping the mountain, these lion dances are not a good thing. During the performance, these lion dances silently blocked the road. The audience despised and booed. After all, they came here to express their condolences, not to smash the hall. If they started this way, it would just happen that Tuoshitang would come out in full force and take them down.
"Interesting." The leading general of the Panlong Society threw the green dragon flag in his hand to his companions behind him, and then jumped straight into the lion dance team.
During the lion dance that was tumbling back and forth, the general had sharp eyes, looking for gaps, and then kept passing through, step by step towards the direction of the mountain gate.
Seeing that this one was about to walk out of the lion dance group, the drums on the mountain gate changed again, and the white velvet black flower lion dance that was performing before immediately rolled and jumped up.
They suddenly retreated to the top near the mountain gate, and then jumped quickly while shaking their heads, and layer upon layer, the lion dancers on the upper layer stood on the shoulders of the lower layer, and then repeated on the upper layer, so these white velvet and black flowers The lion dancers form a seven-story tall lion wall, blocking the front of the mountain gate. The gaps between the lion dancers seem to be loose, but they are tight, making it impossible for people to pass through.
Although it is stacked into a high wall, the lion dance still did not stop performing amidst the sound of drums. It exchanged back and forth from time to time, shaking its head and tail. Applause for that.
Facing the tall lion wall that needs to be looked up to, the general of the Panlong Society also stopped and stood still.
Soon, the members behind him also followed, stood behind him, and looked at the lion wall as high as a hill together.
"Drink——"
The general embroidered with dragon patterns shouted loudly, interrupted the exciting drumbeat, and thrust the green dragon flag he was holding in his hand into the ground again, then jumped up, jumped high, and fell down .
The members of the Panlong Club behind him were already ready. They lined up together to form a huge circle, holding each other's arms. When the general landed in the center of the circle, these arms were also lifted. Like a giant spring, let this general shoot straight into the sky.
Its sound roared like a flying dragon in the sky, going straight up to a height of several thousand meters, turning into a small black spot, and then falling straight down, carrying the force of piercing through the sky and cracking clouds, heading straight for the gate of Natuo Lion Hall .
"You dare to wait!"
There was a loud shout from inside the gate of Tuoshitang, and then the lion dance formation with white velvet and black flowers dispersed instantly. One group of lion dancers jumped up, and the other group of lion dancers also jumped up, rolling in the air , the two groups kicked each other with their soles facing each other in the air, and the upper group rose into the air.
But it's not over yet. After that group of lion dances jumped into the air, another group also flew up, just for him to use their strength. In this way, this group of lion dancers took seven consecutive steps in the air, step by step towards the sky. The shot flew in the sky, and finally it was like an electric shot, directly hitting the general of the Panlonghui who descended from the high altitude.
When the two met, the heavy lion head with white velvet and black flowers was held up by the lion dancer and swung at the general like a sledgehammer. Sailing out a palm technique that descended from the sky, the sound was like a dragon's chant, the crimson Yuanli flew across the sky, and collided with the oncoming lion's head, making a loud noise.
The lion's head was squeezed by the high-temperature fire waves and deformed in the iron palm, and then the general of the Panlong Society dragged the lion's head straight to the ground, smashing a big hole.
"Hahaha, Tuoshitang is really hospitable, I will accept this gift of lion dance."
After a burst of hustle and bustle, the members of the Panlong Club who were originally blocked on the stairs in the middle of the mountain also crossed over the scattered lion dance array, came to the mountain gate, and gathered behind the general again.
He handed the lion head that was ravaged by flames to the fellow disciple behind him, stepped forward again, and stood under the huge mountain gate of Tuo Lion Hall, clasping his fists in salute.
"Just because I really like this lion head, I just did this disrespectful, please forgive me."
"Heh."
The people in the Tuoshi Hall looked at the general of the Panlong Society who broke through the interception, and snorted coldly. Although they were not happy, they continued to block the door without being petty at this time. Open a road and let him walk into the mountain gate.
Watching the intense scene of worshiping the mountain slowly come to an end, the pedestrians and spectators on both sides of the river bank were still undecided, as if several hours had passed in just a few minutes, and they woke up after a long time. The noisy and lively scene was restored again.
"It's really surprising." Lorraine Hill stood on the mountainside inside the Tuoshi Hall, and just witnessed the scene where everyone in the Panlong Society broke through.
The leading general of the Panlong Society should have near-perfect strength in Sequence 6 and can advance at any time, so it's no wonder he was chosen as the team leader this time.
However, the strength of the Panlonghui is far beyond what is in front of it. The girl continued to glance at the Panlonghui team that worshiped the mountain.
Although she can hide it from others, to her, this kind of thing is like a silver mirror. It can be seen at all that there are still several Sequence 6 masters in the Panlonghui team who have not made a move, and they also There may not be no backup players, maybe there will be a crowd of Sequence 7 and the finale behind, just in case of accidents.
It's just a condolence, even with the idea of suppressing the opponent's prestige and arrogance, it is too risky to transfer so many masters to the enemy's headquarters~IndoMTL.com~, the Panlong Society may have deeper plans .
However, for now, let's go with the hall master first, and burn incense sticks for the old man who passed away.
Lorraine Hill lightly jumped down from the stone, causing curiosity and astonishment in the eyes of several walking guests nearby, and then this beautiful girl walked step by step towards the main memorial hall full of people.
In the tall lobby, incense is pervasive. Personnel in charge of the sacrificial ceremony are sitting on both sides of the hall in white clothes, reciting ancient congratulations and songs, while those who come to express condolences are lighting incense. Insert it in the big cauldron in front, bend over to salute, and pray in a low voice.
"Miss Jialan is here, so come with me." Hall Master Yu who was standing in the crowd saw Lorraine Hill, waved to her, and then they walked forward together.
"The master of Fuyunzhou branch, Yu Luchen, come to meet the old sect master." He held up the incense, bent over, and then slowly knelt on the ground, and after three kowtows, he slowly stood up and put the The incense is inserted in a large bronze tripod.
At this time, a girl in a white gauze dress also slowly stepped forward.
