Monks

Chapter 63 Ancestor Day

At this time, there was a noise in the street, and many people ran and dodged. Looking at the reputation, a long procession passed slowly through the long street. There were guards in front of the road, and dozens of horses ran side by side behind. It is an incomparably luxurious carriage, with four white horses, carved dragons and phoenixes along the carriage rails, thick brocade curtains, and a cavalry team of about 200 behind the carriage. 26nbsp;Zhang Fear couldn't help sighing: "The ostentation is really big, and the master master has never experienced such an ostentation."

Someone answered from behind: "How big is the head of your family? How big is the family? This is the younger brother of the Emperor of Song, the King of Victory Song Que." King Song Que of Victory?What official?Zhang was afraid that he didn't understand these things, so he looked back to see who spoke.

Standing next to him was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a plain shirt and tying a turban, with a fair complexion, looking out, and said, "If you live a lifetime, don't you just seek fame and glory in the world, and I can do it at any time." In this way, a lifetime is enough."

There are guests at the table behind him, and there are three young people sitting there, all dressed as scholars, one of the tall ones said with a smile: "Dream, come back and drink your wine."

The young man snorted: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan." As he spoke, he returned to the wine table and raised his glass for a drink.

The glory in the world is also interesting, at least it looks very beautiful.Zhang was afraid to go to see the winning cavalry again.

The four young men drank and chatted, one of them said: "I heard that the north is not stable." The other answered: "Not stable? Don't those long 'hair' ghosts know how to write dead?"

"Just to make a point, it has nothing to do with the long-haired ghost. It is said that there is a devil in the north. He has a blue face and fangs are over ten feet tall. He specializes in harming big girls. If anyone has a virgin, he will go there after smelling it. After harming others, he will eat them. "

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. My family has a business in the north. The errand runners below told me that hundreds of people have died."

Hearing what they said, Zhang Ai secretly said: "Could it be that the devil in the mouth of the wanderers? What is the ability to kill only women? Need so many wanderers to take action?" Somewhat disapproving in his heart.

The young people continued to talk: "I only dare to be rampant in the small town in the north. If you have the ability to come to Song City, the national teacher can kill him with a sneeze." All three young people looked at one of them and asked: "Your uncle studied under the state Master, you have learned some skills." The man smiled wryly, "What nonsense, my uncle is just a servant, but the family is proud of him..."

"Nonsense, serving tea and water to the national teacher is not an ordinary person. If it were me, I would be willing to empty the toilet."

Several people laughed: "Then you go and empty the toilet."

The four young men laughed and scolded while drinking, but Zhang was afraid that it was interesting to hear. It turns out that the speech of normal people is quite different from that of monks, and the things they care about are also different.The young people also agreed that in a few days it would be the Double Ninth Festival, and everyone made an appointment to appreciate the beauties.

There is a custom in the Song Dynasty to worship ancestors on double nine days, and those who sacrifice are the ancestors of people.Old people worship at home, but those who are active or young have to go to the ancestral temple outside the city to worship, the picture is lively.If young men and women are destined to meet each other and their hearts are moved, there will always be a good story. Therefore, Ancestral Worship Day is the favorite day for young people every year.

Afraid of thinking about it, Zhang decided to watch the excitement. Even if the excitement is not yours, it would be good to take part in it.Lin Sen once drank with him and said: "Watching other people go against each other with drunk eyes is better than crying lovesickness when there is no one."

In the next few days, Zhang was afraid to play in the city during the day and stay in an inn overnight, and soon the Jiujiu Day came.On this day, Zhang was afraid to leave the inn early, playing with the Wuying knife in his right hand, and leisurely walked out of the city with people.

It is a rare and grand festival of the year. Young people wear new clothes and are full of spirits. They walk together in twos and threes all over the street, occasionally snickering and whispering, running and jumping, showing a festive atmosphere, and they are afraid of being alone.

After leaving the city gate, the road widened, but it still couldn't hold many people, so some people walked on the grass.The ancestral temple is five miles outside the city, guarded by soldiers along the road.Passers-by whispered and asked each other: "Who is hosting the ceremony this time?"

Zhang was afraid that he was a little happy, and he relaxed his mind in the crowd to feel the joy, expectation, and happiness of the people, and even the guards were all smiling.The more open the mind is, the farther the spiritual consciousness is, and the body is easily covered five miles away, and the voices of people at the ancestral temple five miles away have been sensed early, and the flow of people is like a 'tide'.

Zhang Ai smiled with the corners of his mouth bent, and suddenly his face froze. He felt a trace of panic in the crowd, but the panic disappeared quickly.Then the panic started again, and the twos and threes were very close, and then the panic of the twos and threes disappeared together.This is?Zhang was afraid to use his spiritual sense to search, and at the end of the crowd, he found more than a dozen immortal cultivators, all of whom were not at a high level.

With a slight thought, the figure disappeared in the crowd, and appeared not far from the group of immortals after a while.They all dressed up uniformly, wearing bright purple Taoist robes and wearing a bun, accompanied by some officials.Listening to what they said, I knew that they were disciples of the national teacher and were preparing for the grand ceremony of worshiping the ancestors.But what about those panics?

At this time, the panic and fear in the distant crowd reappeared.When Zhang Ai arrived, the sense of panic and fear disappeared again. I looked around and found nothing. This place is far away from the road, and there are few people there, so few people pay attention.Just as he was frowning and thinking hard, a silver sword pierced his back silently. Under the sudden shock, Zhang was afraid that he would fall far away and spit blood from his mouth.Looking back, a handsome young man raised his sword and frowned in thought.

Zhang was afraid that he would not feel anything when he sent his spiritual consciousness to the young man. Knowing that his cultivation was higher than his own, he immediately put his hand into his bosom, took a life pill into his mouth, stood up and flashed his snake whip, ready to fight the enemy.

Seeing that he was fine, the handsome young man became even more suspicious, and asked, "Is there any injury?" His voice was soft and crisp, very nice.Zhang Fear didn't have time to answer, the young man's face changed again, he looked behind Zhang Fear, then swung his sleeves, his figure appeared inside and outside, and then disappeared in a flash.

At this time, more than a dozen figures flashed past Zhang Fear, gathered around Zhang Fear, and looked at him with doubts on their faces. The leader was a bearded man in his 40s. His spiritual sense swept over Zhang Fear, and his face changed: "I don't know, senior!" What's coming? The three disciples under Song Yinglong, the elder of the Wuliang Sect of the Song Dynasty, are not going to pay a visit to senior."

Zhang Ao just saw them, he frowned and said: "It's nothing." He searched for the handsome young man with all his strength, but found nothing.

Suddenly there was a loud commotion on the road, and the sound of horseshoes rumbled, and a group of people appeared on the road.When Yu Bukai saw the horse team, his complexion changed, and he immediately ordered: "Thirteen Lang, take care of senior, and the rest will follow me to protect the princess."

After speaking, more than a dozen people dispersed, surrounded a chariot in the horse team, and moved forward slowly.In front of Zhang Ai, there was only a black and strong boy left, with a cold face and cold eyes, always pay attention to Zhang Ai.Afraid that Zhang knew that the young man was watching him, he just pretended not to know, stood where he was, and looked towards the direction in which the handsome young man disappeared.
