The Blood Song of the Three Realms Chapter 21: New Year’s Ancestor Worship (Part 1)
Time flies, and more than a month passes in a flash.
The Spring Festival in the Eastern calendar is approaching, and the city-state of the Yin people has become extremely lively. Except for those clansmen who had taken on important secret missions and couldn't get away, the other Yin clansmen rushed back no matter what they were doing outside.
Hundreds of thousands of blood servants were busy inside and out, cleaning the city-state of the Yin clan until it was spotless. Red and gold couplets were pasted on every portal, and there were as many gorilla red lanterns as there were stars in the sky, covering every portal and every beam in the entire city-state.
The gloomy and oppressive city-state of the Yin clan has become a little brighter these days out of thin air. But this bright red, which represents auspiciousness and joy in the east, is so dazzling under the bright red blood light of the blood mist enchantment.
Yin Xuege also finished his cultivation, and with a bright smile, he joined the busy schedule and preparations for the new year.
At this moment, his status is very different from what it was more than a month ago. All his authority and treatment are comparable to those of the elders of the 'land' generation. , and a large group of Yin clan masters and warriors escorted them. He only needs to give an order in one sentence, and countless people will be busy all day without their feet touching the ground!
For eleven years, Yin Xuege had never felt this way. Everyone is in awe of him, everyone subconsciously lowers their eyes, lowers their voices and tunes in front of him, and when everyone sees him, they will warmly greet and bless him.
This kind of unfamiliar enthusiasm reminded Yin Xuege of many things. At the age of eleven, there was already a hint of vicissitudes and maturity in his eyes. His state of mind changed a lot in just a few days, and the sense of strength and expansion brought about by absorbing twenty drops of the Duke's blood essence was completely eroded by the vicissitudes and heaviness.
With an ethereal and mellow heart, Yin Xuege deeply understands one thing about the arrogance and respect of these tribesmen—power is everything!
On the bell tower on the east side of the Yin Clan's Ancestral Temple, an ancient bronze bell weighing 12,000 jin rang loudly. The deep and loud bell sounded hundreds of miles away. In the city-state of the Yin Clan, all the clansmen put on formal attires, lined up neatly according to their rank and status, and walked towards the ancestral temple.
After one hundred and eight bells, more than 100,000 members of the Yin tribe stood neatly on the square in front of the ancestral temple.
Dozens of veterans of the Tianzi generation of the Yin nationality lined up in front of the gate of the ancestral temple. Completely following the ancient oriental etiquette, even a small pendant on the belt is an oriental ancient jade with a history of thousands of years.
In the middle of these elders of the Yin clan, the smiling Yin Tianjue put his hands in his sleeves, overlooking the members of his family lined up neatly for several miles below. The huge square was completely silent, not a single member of the Yin clan dared to make the slightest noise.
As the time passed by one minute and one second, suddenly on the Drum Tower on the west side of the ancestral temple, a giant drum with a diameter of twelve meters was hung by two burly men holding giant animal bone clubs. The dull, thick, and heart-piercing drum sounded slowly, Yin Tianjue straightened his face, turned around without saying a word, pressed his hands on the temple door of the ancestral temple, and pushed open the door made of ebony wood. Cheng, the gate of the ancestral temple with a thickness of two feet.
The good time has come, and the Yin people's annual ancestral temple ancestor worship ceremony has officially kicked off!
Amidst the long "creaking" sound, two gates of the ancestral temple with a height of 20 meters and a width of 12 meters opened, and a gust of cold air gushed out from the dark lacquered temple. This cold air swept across the entire square in an instant, among the Yin clansmen who stood solemnly, countless people shivered at the same time.
The sound of 'huhu' was endless, and countless torches and braziers in the dark ancestral temple were lit up one after another. The dark red fire illuminated the Yin Clan's Ancestral Temple, which covered several miles, and there were faint sounds of wooden fish and chanting scriptures coming from the deepest part of the Ancestral Temple.
Under the leadership of Yin Tianjue, a group of elders of the Tianzi generation of the Yin clan walked into the ancestral temple in Surong. Yin Tianjue's younger brother, the second elder of the Yin clan, Yin Tianmie stood upright in front of the gate of the ancestral temple, and unfolded a **** scroll in his hand with incomparable majesty.
"Yin Difeng!"
A young man standing in the ranks of the elders of the Yin family bowed his body and bowed to Yin Tianmie. He took a few steps forward cautiously and walked up to the ancestral temple with extremely serious steps. Steps in front of the door, slowly walked into the gate of the ancestral temple.
"Yin Diyu!"
An old-looking Yin man with three willow beards smiled reservedly, bowed to Yin Tianmie as well, and walked quickly into the ancestral temple.
One after another the names of Yin clansmen were reported by Yin Tianmie, and one after another Yin clansmen walked into the gate of the ancestral temple. They are all qualified to enter the ancestral temple, offer incense to the ancestors of the Yin people, and participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. Being able to participate in the annual ancestor worship ceremony does not bring actual benefits to the members of the Yin clan, but it represents his status in the Yin clan!
If you can enter the ancestral temple to participate in the Spring Festival ancestor worship, you are the core member of the Yin clan. Even if you come from a collateral line of the Yin clan, as long as you can enter the ancestral temple to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony every year, no one will dare to despise you!
On the contrary, even if you are born in the direct line of the clan, even if you are Yin Tianjue's own son, if you are suddenly deprived of the qualification to enter the ancestral temple to worship ancestors in a certain year, there is no doubt that your life in the Yin clan will be very difficult! The other clansmen will look at him with strange eyes, and the party members who were attached to them in the past may change their families immediately!
The blood demon clan is the race that values practical interests the most! The annual ancestor worship ceremony contains too many things!
There are more than 5,000 members of the Yin family, but there are only 258 people who are eligible to enter the ancestral temple to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony!
All the members of the Yin clan knew about this list, and they roughly knew who were eligible to enter the ancestral temple today. They also know that those who were not qualified to enter before will be honored today; and those who were qualified to enter in the past few years have been deprived of the qualification to worship their ancestors because they did something wrong this year. .
The only thing that shocked the Yin people present was that when the last elder of the Yin family's "di" generation was named by Yin Tianmie and walked into the ancestral temple, Yin Tianmie calmly reported a story that surpassed everything. The unexpected name - 'Yin Xuege'!
Standing at the back of the square, Yin Xuege, who was mixed among the young children, was stunned. Countless clansmen in the square looked at him at the same time, all of them had complex emotions of shock, horror, and disbelief mixed in their eyes. Yin Xuege is just a child, how can he be qualified to enter the ancestral temple today?
Even if he is a Sunwalker, he has unlimited potential, and he is qualified to enter the ancestral temple, but he should not be ranked behind many elders with the word "di", and step into the ancestral temple before so many elders!
The members of the Yin clan in front of Yin Xuege moved subconsciously to the left and right, giving way to a road leading directly to the ancestral temple.
Taking a deep breath, Yin Xuege, who was bright in his heart, showed a smile of enlightenment, raised his head slightly, and walked squarely step by step, walking towards the gate of the ancestral temple leisurely.
"Yin Xuege, you deserve this!" Yin Xuege looked at the main entrance of the ancestral temple firmly, and he didn't even take a second look at Yin Tianmie, just walked past Yin Tianmie slowly, and stepped into the ancestral temple the gate.
A small voice like the chirping of mosquitoes suddenly sounded beside Yin Xuege's ears: "Yin Xuege! Your mother, Yin Huangwu, is my direct descendant. In other words, you are the direct son of my Yin Tianmie lineage. Work hard, if you have any needs, just go to Xuanyin Palace, the entire Xuanyin Palace is your backing!"
Yin Xuege's face twitched slightly, he turned his head to look at Yin Tianmie, nodded slightly, and then strode into the ancestral temple.
For a long time, Yin Xuege only knew that he had the identity of the first son of the Yin clan, and that Yin Huangwu was his mother. Other than that, he knew nothing about his identity. Until today, he didn't know that Yin Huangwu was born in Yin Tianmie's line~IndoMTL.com~ and was a descendant of Yin Tianmie's direct relatives.
The Yin clan has nine elders of the Tianzi generation, and the Yin clan's direct bloodlines are divided into nine branches. Every bloodline has a palace in the city-state of the Yin Clan. The Xuanyin Palace is the core stronghold of Yin Tianmie's clan. the power of.
If it is said that Yin Tianjue's reward and promise to Yin Xuege more than a month ago represented the approval of the entire Yin clan, today Yin Tianjue's calm voice transmission represents the 'Xuanyin Palace' The people of the Yin clan in this vein support Yin Xuege!
From then on, Yin Xuege truly possessed a power within the Yin clan that he could borrow, a power that could protect him when he was weak.
Following a corridor paved with black stone strips, Yin Xuege walked step by step in all directions towards the main hall of the ancestral temple a hundred meters away. Yin Tianjue waited for the elders and elders of the Yin clan to stand neatly in front of the main hall of the ancestral temple, all of them drooping their eyelids, closing their mouths and noses and keeping silent.
Yin Xuege chose the outermost position to stand behind many elders. Then he imitated the appearance of these elders, narrowing his eyes and not saying a word. The atmosphere in the ancestral temple was extremely depressing, and even Yin Xuege's mind went blank, without any other thoughts.
Yin Tianmie's high-pitched and long registration sound came from behind him, and one core member of the Yin family's 'wu' generation walked in slowly. There are only a hundred and twenty-seven people from the no-character clan who are eligible to enter the ancestral temple. These clansmen without characters are not responsible for any practical affairs in the clan. The vast majority of them are in the golden stage of strength improvement, and they are usually in retreat and hard work!
