Volume 3 Chapter 128 Ancestor Worship Mutation
Three days passed quickly. On this day, headed by the head of the family, Kong Fanshu, and the great elder Kong Fanji, all the members of the Confucian Elders Association attended, plus all the descendants of the Confucian family, all stood in front of the Confucian ancestral temple.
Except for a few ancestors of the Kong family, as well as those who were in retreat or had something to do, all the Kong family members who could be listed on the Kong family's own family tree were already in place at this time.
For the Kong family, it is a major event to absorb a branch and return to the family, and it can only be regarded as solemn if the ceremony of returning to the family is completed under the witness of all the descendants of the Confucian family! And the Kong family in Kunca City can have today's scenery, completely thanks to Kong Ming! After all, a peerless genius like Kong Ming, if he cannot return to the Kong family, it will definitely be a loss for the Kong family.
Since three days ago, Kong Jun, Kong Zhao, and Kong Ming, the three fathers and sons, have been fasting to show their sincerity, and now they are wearing a white robe, holding an incense burner, and under the guidance of Kong Yingzheng, they worship the ancestors in the ancestral temple of the Kong family one by one!
With the power of the Confucian family, the scale of its ancestral temple is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Just a square in front of the ancestral temple covers an area of thousands of square meters. Otherwise, there are nearly a thousand descendants of the Kong family who are present now, how can they stand down neatly?
On the main hall of the ancestral temple, there are only six people who can enjoy the incense with the spirit card, except for Kong Xiu, the ancestor who created the Confucian lineage, there are only five sons of Kong Xiu, that is, the five ancestors of the five houses of the Kong family.
After worshipping these ancestors, Kong Jun and other father and son three. Kneeling in front of the tablet of the ancestor of the three rooms. The Kong's lineage in Cuenca City was separated from the Kong's third room, and now it has returned to its own home, and it is naturally returned to the third room.
Kong Yingzheng was dressed in a costume specially designed for worship, and in front of all the clansmen, he recited a sacrificial text aloud, and then asked Kong Jun's three fathers and sons to follow him to read the family rules of the Kong family. It can be regarded as the completion of the whole ritual process.
I saw two children of the Confucian family dressed in white robes take out a huge scroll one meter long and as thick as an arms from the back hall of the ancestral temple. Respectfully spread out on a long offering table in front of the ancestral temple!
This scroll is naturally the genealogy of the Kong family, and it is only named on this genealogy. can be regarded as officially becoming a descendant of the Kong family!
At this time, Kong Jun also took out a small scroll from his arms, and after bowing three times and bowing nine times, he also put this scroll bearing on the offering table. As long as Kong Yingzheng, who is in charge of this sacrifice, raises a hook of the Zhu pen, even if the Kong family in Kunka City is officially merged into the Kong family, there will naturally be someone in the future to transcribe the names of the Kong family in Kunka City to the genealogy of the Kong family.
I saw Kong Ying holding a red pen in his hand. was about to take a pen to hook, among the descendants of the Confucian family who were ranked in front of the ancestral temple of the Confucian family, suddenly someone laughed!
How solemn is the matter of worshipping ancestors? Now at a critical moment, someone suddenly laughed. Not only did it spoil the atmosphere of the scene, but it was also disrespectful to the ancestors of the Confucian family!
At this time, Kong Yingzheng, who was presiding over the sacrifice, changed his face, put the red pen in his hand on the offering table, and asked with a calm face: "When worshipping the ancestors, who dares to make a noise? This is a great disrespect to the ancestors and ancestors!"
Kong Yingzheng is also a strong man with the cultivation of a junior marshal, even if there are nearly a thousand descendants of the Kong family standing in front of the ancestral temple. But who laughed, he could also tell as soon as he heard it, and while he opened his mouth to ask, his eyes were firmly locked on the people in the crowd.
All of the people present at this time could sense where the laughter was coming from, and they all looked at the person who was laughing. Even those who didn't know where the laughter came from followed the gaze of others and saw the person who made the laughter...,
The one who laughed was a mighty man who looked to be about forty years old, about two meters tall, almost a head taller than the person next to him, and he looked like a tiger's back, even if he stood there motionless, he had a fierce temperament.
Being "eyeballed" by so many people of the Kong clan, the mighty man did not show the slightest uneasiness, but smiled again: "Great disrespect for the ancestors and ancestors? In my opinion, it should be a great disrespect to the ancestors and ancestors by ignoring the family law of the ancestors and casually incorporating some cats and dogs into the family!"
This mighty man was so rude, Kong Yingzheng was naturally furious. He was in charge of taking care of the Kong clan's genealogy, so he naturally recognized everyone in the family, and immediately shouted angrily: "Kong Qingniu, how can the solemn place of the ancestral temple be made noise by you casually? The Kong clan in Kunka City has been merged into my own family, and the elders have deliberated and approved it, how can you be questioned by a disciple of yours? Kong Qingniu, you yourself were also merged into your own family by the side lineage branch, and only then did you become a descendant of the family, and now what qualifications do you have to question the merger of other side line branches into your own family?"
That mighty man, that is, Kong Qingniu, after hearing the words, came out of the crowd, walked quickly to the ancestral temple, looked up without fear, and said loudly: "Disciple is not talented, it is precisely because he has had the experience of merging into his own family that he knows the rules of our Kong family! According to the rules of the Kong family, the children of the side line branches, only if they have made great achievements recognized by the empire, or show their talents far beyond ordinary people, can they be qualified to merge into the Kong family and become the descendants of the family. Take the disciple as an example, when he joined the army in Izumo County, he fought sand thieves with the army, beheaded more than 100 people, accumulated merit and was promoted to the rank of partial cavalry general, and after the rebirth assessment of his own family, he finally became the descendant of his own family! Who was able to be promoted from a side branch to a descendant of the descendant, and which one did not go through all kinds of hardships before finally becoming a descendant of his own family? What great achievements did the Kong clan in Kunka City make? What qualifications do they have to return to the Kong family?
Kong Yingzheng snorted coldly and said, "As long as you are not blind and deaf, you should know what kind of genius Elder Kong Ming is, right? Many words can be accepted as a descendant disciple by the third ancestor and his old man, and he is already qualified to be ranked in the Council of Elders, don't you still have the identity of a descendant of the Kong family? Kong Qingniu, your questioning is really ridiculous!"
Kong Yingzheng is an elder of the Confucian family, how can his majesty be something that ordinary Confucian disciples can resist? But under Kong Yingzheng's coercion, Kong Qingniu did not flinch, but stiffened his neck and said: "Elder Kong Ming's name is shocking the mainland, and the disciples naturally dare not question him. What the disciples questioned was the entire Kong clan in Kunka City! Except for Elder Kong Ming, I don't know what kind of great achievements the Kong clan in Kunka City had made to pass on the deeds, and they were able to merge the entire clan into their own family? This is obviously inconsistent with the rules of the ancestors! If it is said that Elder Kong Ming is qualified to be included in the family, the Kong clan in Kunka City will be able to benefit from it as a whole, so what about the children of the Confucian family like the disciple? Why can the disciples and others be listed on the genealogy of the Kong family, but the clansmen cannot enjoy such treatment? Is this kind of thing fair?
Kong Qingniu's questioning has some truth. You must know that the Kong family in Kunka City can merge the whole family into the Kong family, most of which is for Kong Ming's face, and this move is also to calm Kong Ming's heart and make Kong Ming have a greater sense of identity with the Kong family. Who called Kong Ming's talent is so high that people have never heard of it, and it is human nature to give him some special treatment.
Of course, if the Kong clan in Kunca City operates well in the wild forest, it can be regarded as a great contribution to the Kong family, and the merger of the entire clan into the Kong family is naturally in the past. However, now that the Kong family's business in the wild forest has not yet begun, and this kind of thing is not suitable for being made public at this time, it is really not good to explain the reason why the Kong family in Kunca City was merged into the Kong family...,
Fortunately, Kong Yingzheng was not a person who did not know how to adapt, and immediately turned pale and shouted to Kong Qingniu: "The merger of the Kong clan in Kunka City into the Kong clan was decided after deliberation by the Council of Elders, and there is naturally a special reason for this. It is a matter of the Confucian family's secrets, and it is inconvenient to make it public, but it does not mean that the Kong family in Kunca City is not qualified to be merged into the Kong family. Kong Qingniu, are you questioning the injustice of our Council of Elders?"
Kong Qingniu sneered and said, "Can a mere word of confidentiality explain our doubts? Now that the people standing in front of the ancestral temple are all the descendants of our Confucian family, is there any secret that cannot be revealed to us descendants? Could it be that the Kong family in Kunca City can keep the secret, but we, the descendants of the Kong family, can't do it?"
I have to say that Kong Qingniu's words are very inflammatory, when he questioned the merger of the Kong clan into his own family in Kunka City, there were dozens of disciples who, like Kong Qingniu, were all disciples who merged into the Kong clan from the side vein branch, and while they felt the same way, they also showed a skeptical look on their faces. And what Kong Qingniu said now made more of the descendants of the Kong family feel dissatisfied, and some people have already whispered in private.
Kong Yingzheng didn't expect that this Kong Qingniu was usually not very obvious, but at the moment it was so difficult, and he didn't know whether his current actions were planned for a long time or out of momentary righteous indignation. But in any case, the ritual of sacrificing ancestors is sacrosanct, and now the scene has become more and more chaotic, how can this work?
At that moment, Kong Yingzheng raised his breath and shouted: "Now that the ceremony of sacrificing to the ancestors has not yet been completed, all the children of the Confucian family, please be quiet, and do not make noise at will! The ancestral temple is a solemn place, how can you be presumptuous?"
