Saint Immortal Way

Lu Yang's sister and brother-in-law took advantage of the opportunity to come back to visit the elders this time because the Lu family worshiped their ancestors, but they were shocked when they saw Lu Yang's official robes, and their eyes were almost blinded.

"My son, what kind of official is the Han Daizhao you mentioned, which is higher than the county magistrate's?" Lu Yang smiled and asked, holding Lu Yang's hand.

In her opinion, the official robe in front of her looks the same as the one worn by the county magistrate, at least the color is the same, both are forest blue.The others were also confused, not knowing what official Dai Zhao was.

Lu Jianjia rushed to answer: "Mother, I know this. The edict of Shouyang Palace is the official next to Princess Shouyang, mainly the official who works for the princess. He is ninth grade, not as good as the county magistrate. Our county magistrate is Zhengqi. Quality officer!"

Lu Yang said resentfully: "That's right, I'm confused, I'm thankful to have an official status, why do I expect to be compared to the magistrate?"

"Yang'er is already good. The officials around the princess are always better than the boss in the county! Even the few big family lords in our county don't even have official status. Our old Lu family has come to the end of their hardships!" Lu Kaitai's heart brightened. That said, no matter what the world is, the most important thing is the backing, and if you are close to the big backing, even a fool may be able to make a fortune.

His son can become an official next to the princess, and he has a bright future in the future.

This year is really comfortable, as if the time has changed, not only Lu Yang worshiped the great Confucianism as a teacher, but also entered the academy, and more importantly, he climbed the big tree of Princess Shouyang, and was granted the status of a ninth-rank official. Now that the scene is beautiful, what are the taboos for worshiping the ancestors tomorrow?

After dinner, the family talked happily until midnight, and the next morning, before dawn, the family got up and prepared. The chicken, duck, fish, and three sacrifices were all placed on the ox cart, and the tenants drove the cart. At that time, Lu Yang's parents and Lu Jianjia got into the carriage, and Lu Yang, his sister and brother-in-law got on the horses and went to the ancestral hall of the Lu family.

The Lu clan was the largest clan in the previous dynasty, and originally had a large number of offshoots and population, but in the current dynasty, time has passed, and there are probably only Lu clan members from Luqiu in the territory of Da Kuang.The rest have been scattered to the land of the southern barbarians.

The Lu family's ancestor worship ceremony is a big event. There has always been a saying "Lu Shi'an, Lu Qiu'an", which shows the status of the Lu family members in Luqiu County.

Lu's ancestral hall is located on Qingyuangang. It is an old ancestral hall more than 800 years old. After many repairs, a square and a wall have been added. The entire ancestral hall covers an area of ​​tens of acres, which is quite spacious.

Below Qingyuangang is Shangluji, and down seven or eight miles along the Chuiyang River is Xialuji.

When Lu Yang and his party arrived at the foot of Qingyuan Hill with ox carts, horse carts, and mounts, in the early morning mist, they could see many members of the Lu clan coming from all directions one after another.

Most of them are accompanied by families, some are riding tall horses, some are riding in carriages, and some are walking on foot. A family of seven or eight people, carrying burdens or driving ox carts, is more lively than going to the market.

Every year Lu Yang and his father Lu Kaitai come to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors. His family lives four or five miles away from Xialuji. Generally, only the father and son come to worship the ancestors.

Riding on a strong horse, Lu Yang looked at the Lu family's ancestral hall on Qingyuangang, and felt different emotions in his heart.A group of people went straight to Qingyuangang along the main road, and stopped in front of the ancestral hall compound. Thousands of clansmen had already gathered in front of the courtyard, and more members of the Lu clan rushed over from all directions.

Lu Yang's parents got out of the carriage, and some clansmen standing outside the courtyard turned their heads one after another. Seeing that it was Lu Yang's family, they began to whisper.

"That's a boy from Lu Kaitai's family outside Xialu Jiwai. I heard that he has worshiped a great Confucianism as his teacher and was admitted to Bailongtan Academy... Our Luqiu and Lu clan have fallen a lot now. The number of students who have successfully entered the academy in the past two years can be counted." There are only twenty or so!"

"I heard that they are all descendants of the offshoot branch. The patriarch's branch is very pitiful. Now there are three enlightened children, and none of them can get into the Bailongtan Academy in our Moling Mansion!"

"I heard that the children of Zhengzhi's generation are all useless. The boss worshiped a great Confucian as his teacher the year before last. Unfortunately, he paid a lot of money and favors. I heard that he has not yet become a scholar!"

"No, I heard that kid has transferred to Zezhou Canghai Sword Academy to practice this year, and he is expected to break through the Dao industry!"

"..."

Lu Yang's spiritual sense is sensitive, and he can argue and listen to a lot of words. Zezhou Canghai Sword Academy is actually not a large-scale academy, far inferior to Bailongtan Academy in Moling Mansion.

It is said that the academy focuses on the cultivation of holy ways and careers, supplemented by swordsmanship in shooting arts to cultivate dedicated talents.There are many such academies in Zezhou, such as Qin Academy, Zhizhi Academy, Fan Academy, etc. The students in the academy all choose the skills that the academy is best at.

This is a bit like a comprehensive university and a specialist college, the positioning of the two is different.

"Yang'er, bring something here!" Lu Kaitai ordered, and Lu Yang hurriedly lifted a small wooden box from the carriage.Lu Kaitai and his eldest son-in-law carried three sacrifices from the bullock cart.

This time Lu Kaitai was very well prepared, and there was no lack of any of the three animals. When he carried the things into the courtyard of the ancestral hall, he saw a triple altar lined up in front of the ancestral hall. Offerings are placed on the altar.

On the wide square of the ancestral hall, there are hundreds of people wearing brocade robes, many of them are Confucianists, the old are gray-haired, the young are only seven or eight years old, and most of them are young adults.

Lu Yang took a quick look and found that these hundreds of people were all Confucian scholars with a high sense of culture, some with brocade belts and high crowns, and wide sleeves and gowns, and they were talking together in twos and threes.

Lu Yang is awe-inspiring, these people are all Confucianists of their own clan in Luqiu, and their Taoism varies from high to low, but the highest is no higher than that of Hongru. These hundreds of Confucianists seem to be the most noble people in Luqiu's Lu clan, and they are also members of their own clan. pillars.

Like Lu Yang, many members of the Lu clan around the square looked up at this group of Confucians. In their eyes, the scholars of their own clan were undoubtedly the pride of their own clan, and all their reputations belonged to these people.

Every year, and only on the day of worshiping the ancestors, can we see all the Confucians of the clan gather in the ancestral hall.

"Over there, hehe, it seems that there are more sacrifices for ancestor worship this year!" Lu Kaitai smiled, looking at the desk surrounded by a large group of tribesmen, many tribesmen were registering and making books with sacrifices, hoping that their sacrifices It can be placed on the first altar.

"Those who need to put the sacrifices on the altar come and register!" A clansman who was registering yelled, and then called Lu Kaitai to come forward, and the clansmen watching the registration stepped aside and greeted Lu Kaitai at the same time.

In this three-acre land in Luqiu County, everyone in the Lu clan knows who, and if there is any trouble in any family, it will spread to the entire Lu clan within a few days of keeping it.

"Kaitai, your kid is amazing. I heard that he worshiped a great Confucianism as his teacher and was admitted to Bailongtan Academy. He really gave our Lu clan a face!"

"This is your kid. When he grows up, he won't recognize him if he doesn't pay attention!"

"I heard that the magistrate personally changed your family's native place to a scholar's register, is there such a thing?" Everyone asked one after another.

"Yes, yes, the county magistrate also sent a lot of money, hehe, this is my kid, who has worshiped Huang Zongxi as his teacher, and now he is practicing in the academy. If it is not for ancestor worship, I am afraid that he will not come back! "Lu Kaitai's face was filled with joy, and he kept returning salutes to his relatives and clansmen. It was the first time in his life that he had such a glorious moment...

In the past when they came to worship their ancestors, their family was deserted and not many people paid attention to them. Now it is different. Brothers and cousins ​​in the clan came up to ask and congratulate them one after another. They were all very envious and wished that Lu Yang was theirs. son.

Naturally, Lu Yang knew some clansmen, most of whom were from the generation of uncles, as well as some brothers and sisters, but they dare not greet Lu Yang easily now, because Lu Yang's status is different now, he is a famous scholar , and mud legs are naturally different.

Since Lu Yang practiced blood refining with his father Lu Kaitai in the Yin Ruins, his body has become perfect and his temperament has changed greatly. Moreover, after practicing the holy way, his temperament has changed again and again, making Lu Yang completely different from ordinary people.

Lu Yang gives people the impression that every move he makes is calm, his posture and brows reveal an unrestrained and unrestrained air, he is wearing a well-dressed brocade Confucian robe, and there is a forest green sword hanging from his waist The extravagance is naturally condensed and reflected.

What's more, after Lu Yang was bestowed with the status of an official, his actions and demeanor became more powerful. This kind of extraordinary demeanor can definitely infect and frighten ordinary people unconsciously.

The person who registered the sacrifice was a steward of the Zhengzhi branch of Luqiu Lu family, also a member of the Lu family. He was over 30 years old and very rich. He wore a round cloth hat and held a wolf hair in his hand. With a glance, there was a hint of surprise.

"It turned out to be Brother Kaitai, so this must be my nephew who has worshiped Huang Rushi as his teacher?" The steward laughed.Lu Yang smiled slightly, raised his hand and bowed flatly: "My nephew is Lu Yang, I have met my clan uncle!"

"Don't dare, dare not, my nephew is already a well-known Confucian scholar and has a bright future ahead, so there is no need to salute!" The steward was an exquisite man, and immediately turned his eyes to the wooden box in Lu Yang's hand.

Lu Kaitai handed over the trays of Sansheng and Shiguo Sanzhen, and said with a smile, "Register the Sansheng Shiguo first!"

"Alright, brother Kaitai's things, I will instruct the people below to find a good place for you to worship your ancestors!" "Thank you very much!" Lu Kaitai was very satisfied, the steward nodded slightly, and took a pen to register it himself.

"Yang Er, open it. I hope that the things brought this time can be placed on the first altar to worship the ancestors!" Lu Kaitai sighed and ordered Lu Yang to open the wooden box.

"Okay!" Lu Yang solemnly opened the wooden box, and suddenly a bluish-white spiritual light rushed out, everyone screamed, and their eyes were almost blinded by the spiritual light.

"My dear... What a good thing, it turned out to be Yu Ruyi with spiritual writing, and it's a pair!" The steward praised him. He started to register the sacrificial items for the clansman early in the morning, but so far there is no such person. Come up with something so brilliant.

The little finger-sized spirit script on the sapphire Ruyi is constantly flowing and spinning, faintly able to absorb the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth by itself, and the blue-white spiritual light gushes out, forming a layer of brilliance around Ruyi, which is extremely auspicious.

Not only the onlookers were stunned, but also the hundreds of Confucians who were speaking in front of the ancestral hall were also stunned, and at the same time they had a thought: "Who brought the high-grade sacred artifact of Renbao to sacrifice? "
