Chapter 3 Ancestral Worship Ceremony
The ancestral hall of the Li family is located in the south of the hall.

The genius was bright, and 35 five- and six-year-old children were already standing on the open space in the courtyard of the Li's Ancestral Hall.Most of these brats usually play around, but at this time they are all standing upright, not daring to show their breath.I think last night, the parents of each family had already warned their children about some rules in the family ancestral hall.

Although no one wanted to be punished for breaking the rules of the ancestor worship ceremony, but at this time, except for the 35 of them, no one else could be seen.Presumably, the elders of the family would not show up until the ancestor worship officially started.Most of the children are children of aristocratic families who are used to being casual. Seeing that there is no restraint from the elders, although they dare not openly indulge in the ancestral hall, there are always a few friends who have been friends with each other in whispers.

"Look at the leader in the first row, that's the young master."

"I heard from my mother last night that Young Master Li Yu's natal soul pet is an extraordinary ninth-rank Heavenly Dragon Horse. It's amazing!"

"Who calls someone a young master? This qualification is different. I just hope that when I open the door next year, the contract will not be too dirty. As for Tianlongma, hey..."

"I can't say that. Even though I can't contract an extraordinary horse, I still have confidence in getting an ordinary horse."

Li Jin silently listened to the discussion next to him, and looked up towards the first row.When he saw the back figure in black, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.Looking at Li Qinqin next to her, little Lolita already showed excitement and deep thoughts in her eyes.

In the middle of the first row, a young man in black stood outstandingly.Although he was only less than seven years old, he was as tall as a ten-year-old child.On the back of his left hand, there is a red birthmark in the shape of a horseshoe, which looks very strange.With a well-proportioned figure and a straight body, although the young man's face is still childish, he can already vaguely see the heroic facial features.Coupled with this set of miniature black dress made of brocade, the whole person looks even more restrained and extraordinary.He stood there motionless, as if he didn't hear the discussion behind him, with a cold and serious expression.

Unlike the solemn and serious face of the boy in black, Li Lin standing beside him wiped his nose with his sleeve, showing impatience and dissatisfaction.He also heard the discussion behind him just now, so many people, they didn't mention that he also contracted with the extraordinary dragon horse.

"It's also an extraordinary dragon horse, but he's just lucky, he's a little better than me, what's so great about it. Isn't it because he is the grandson of the great grandfather, so many people flatter him!" Li Lin said unwillingly. He cursed in his heart, but he forgot that he did not rely on his noble status and enlisted a group of friends to praise himself and ridicule others.What's more, for Tianlongma of the same rank, the difference between the first rank and the ninth rank is also cloud and mud.When Li Lin's black-maned horse meets a red-maned horse, he has no choice but to bow down.

"Ahem!" A voice of clearing their throats came from the ancestral hall, and the children who were discussing in low voices in the courtyard suddenly fell silent, not even daring to breathe.

Dozens of young people dressed in uniforms of the Li family's disciples filed in and stood upright by the four courtyard walls of the ancestral hall.A disciple walked up the steps in front of the gate of the ancestral hall and sang loudly to everyone in the courtyard: "Quiet!"

Three figures walked out of the ancestral hall.Patriarch Li Wenluo took the lead and stood still in front of everyone.He glanced at the children for a week, and said in a deep voice, "The ancestor worship ceremony begins now!" Then he stepped aside respectfully.

Afterwards, the two behind Li Wenluo came out hand in hand, one was a white-haired but hale and hearty old man, the other was a muscular burly man with five big and three thick, with a golden hair scattered casually, it was the first elder and the second elder of the Li family.

The two looked at the children in front of them, nodded slightly, and then led everyone into the ancestral hall in silence one by one, and began the complicated ceremony of worshiping the ancestors.

I saw the great elder kneeling in front of the incense tablets of the ancestors of the Li family and shouting loudly:

"The river is surging, the plain is vast, the foot of Tianji Mountain is the hometown of Li's family;

The great achievements of the ancestors, the brilliant achievements, and the dragon knight's point of view, are powerful in all directions;

Adhering to the ancestral aspirations, the dragon flag is raised high, and the torch is passed on from generation to generation, and will last forever;
Sacrificing animals and worshiping ancestors, continuing to write brilliance, expressing condolences and worshiping, the only way is to enjoy!
The descendants of the Li family bowed their heads to tell their ancestors, and the ancestors blessed them. Sun Yu, the third generation of the Li family No. 70, had an extraordinary nine-pin red-maned dragon horse with a Kaimeng contract. Zisun Lin, a first-grade black-maned sky dragon horse with a Kaimeng contract, entered the dragoon army's new barracks, and became the team leader of the new barracks; Li's No.70 third-generation descendant Changyi, Kaimeng contracted a white-maned sky dragon horse, and entered the dragoon army's new barracks; Three generations of descendants of Li's No.70..."

Everyone knelt down and worshiped with the Great Elder, and most of the children including Li Jin had no intention of listening to the lengthy sacrificial speech.Until the old man told the ancestors that the nine children who contracted to Tianlongma this time all joined the Dragon Cavalry recruit camp, and the other seven juniors also contracted good soul pets. I pray for the ancestors to bless the descendants of the Li family in Kaimeng to continue to shine. , everyone knelt down again to make a summary, and then let them get up.

"Li Yu, come forward!" Li Wenluo came out and shouted.

Seeing the cold-faced young men in black coming out more and more, the head of the Li family was relieved, picked up a jade box from the ancestor worship table, and solemnly handed it to his youngest son: "Every dragon cavalry officer and above Every son of military rank will receive a soul orb from the family, and this is yours."

"Thank you Patriarch!" Li Yu took the jade box with both hands and opened it.Immediately, there were several breath-taking voices from all around, and dozens of envious eyes stared at the things inside the jade box.

This is a red translucent bead the size of a baby's fist, with a flowing brilliance on the surface, filled with a faint red mist.Inside the bead, a horseshoe-shaped imprint can be faintly seen, which is continuously and slowly rotating.

"Sprint Soul Orb!" Li Yu was secretly taken aback.Soul orbs are treasures left over from ancient times, how they were formed is no longer known, only that they can temporarily or permanently strengthen the attributes of the soul pet, or give the soul pet new skills.There is one less soul orb in one world, and now, only a family like the Li family can still have such treasures.Even in the most terrifying Holy Soul Empire in the center of the Beast Soul Continent, the appearance of a soul orb will cause frantic competition from all parties.Soul orbs are divided into low-level, middle-level, high-level, rare, legendary, immortal, and treasure. Only high-level and above soul orbs will appear to permanently enhance the attributes of soul pets.This sprinting power soul orb can permanently enhance the sprinting power of the soul pet. It is actually a high-level soul orb, and it is also very suitable for soul pets of the wind system such as Tianlongma. In the Li family, it is also a first-class treasure of the clan up.One must know that in the past, when a member of the new tribe became a captain of the Dragon Cavalry Army's new barracks, it was nothing more than taking out a low-level or mid-level soul orb, which had a greater meaning of encouragement and symbolism.Thinking about it, apart from Li Yu's own powerful soul pet talent, Li Wenluo was still a little selfish within the scope allowed by the family rules.

Seeing such a situation, Li Lin felt even more aggrieved, but he did not dare to openly question the Patriarch's decision on such occasions.What's more, he took a sneak peek at his grandfather, and found that his own grandfather was also careless and indifferent, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only sulk by himself, jealous to death.

The complicated process of the ancestor worship ceremony was finally over. The second elder stood up and faced the children, but did not tell everyone to leave, and the children below did not intend to rush away.I saw the second elder's loud voice: "It's time to go to the dragoon army, report to the barracks within five days, if there is any delay, the commander of the new barracks will take care of you, but be careful of your delicate skin and tender flesh; Seven little devils, get ready within a month, and your own family leader will take you out for the first experience; and you nineteen little bastards who are going to start the enlightenment contract next year, listen up, pack your own within ten days. Pack up, and in ten days, I will go with me to the other courtyard in Tianji Plain to learn the introduction of imperial pets. This time I go out, but I want to come back in a year, so I can pack up and tidy up and be filial to my parents. Did you hear everything clearly?!"

"Listen clearly!"

"Brother—" Leaving the courtyard of the ancestral hall, Li Qinqin immediately hugged the cold-faced boy in black, "Xiaoqin misses you so much..."

Li Yu saw that she was her own younger sister, and she couldn't help showing a hint of pampering on her face: "I haven't seen you in a year, and Xiaoqin has grown a lot. It was too late when I came home last night, you little girl waited for me to sleep You're dead, I'm the one who carried you back to bed."

"It's all my brother's fault. I knew I was waiting for you, but I came back so late, hum!"

Seeing his sister's reluctance, Li Yu couldn't help but smile wryly.Seeing Li Jin also standing aside, he smiled and punched this good brother: "Xiao Jin! It seems that you have been tanned even more."

"Brother Yu." Li Jin stepped forward and gave Li Yu a hug. "Congratulations, Brother Yu. You actually contracted such a powerful Tianlongma and got a sprinting soul orb."

"Haha! You kid. How's your year going?" Li Yu asked concerned, "Or let Xiaoqin play around secretly?"

Li Jin touched his nose in embarrassment: "Sister Xiaoqin...er, she studies very hard!" Seeing Li Jin, Li Qinqin was about to slip up, so she quickly winked behind Li Yu's back.Only then did Li Jin wake up, and turned around.

"Brother, you finally came back, but brother Xiaojin and I have to leave Tianji City in ten days, and you are going to the Dragon Cavalry soon..." Li Qinqin quickly changed the subject.

Knowing that my sister must have been playing around this year, but she couldn't bear to blame any more when she heard this, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, I'll just play with you these five days at home! Besides, after a year You will come back, and the Dragon Cavalry recruit camp is not far from the east gate. I will come to the other courtyard to see you when I have time. Besides, Xiao Jin will always be with you, and you will not be lonely. After finishing speaking, he also gave Li Jin a wink.

Li Jin looked at the pair of brothers and sisters speechlessly.But he still followed Li Yu's words to comfort little Lolita.After all, Li Qinqin was still a child at heart, so she stopped thinking about such troublesome things for a while, and made a deal with Li Yu to visit her in the other courtyard in Tianji Plain, so she became happy again.
