Chapter 62: The Ancestor Worship Ceremony

Before midnight on May 13, that is, a little after four o'clock, the entire Yuejia City was boiling early. Yue Yu also left the room early, and then changed clothes under the supervision of Yue Zhang.

- Like Ran Liyue Bingqian, they are all dressed in a new moon-white satin dress. The style is extremely similar to the ancient clothing of the country in Yue Yu's previous life, but in this era, martial arts are respected. Even if it is a big clan like their Yue clan, the cuffs are pierced to death, and the feet are leather arrow boots that are conducive to fighting.

When he walked out of the door, two carts drawn by four dragon horns were already parked outside the door. In addition, there were six martial artists who were also dressed in new clothes waiting outside.

Yue Yu just wondered if this was a bit exaggerated, when he saw that on the other side of the roadway, a group of convoys were coming in a hurry. Six carriages with a more luxurious appearance, and then a full twelve first- to second-level martial artists riding dragon-blooded horses. The armor-clad family in the back is even more than 100 people. And just as they passed, the curtains of one of the cars were lifted, revealing a few glances of contempt and surprise from within.

Yue Yu was speechless for a moment, thinking that this was the case. This triennial ancestor worship ceremony seems to be not just for the sake of worshipping ancestors.

It is no wonder that Yue Zhang's family began to prepare early a few days ago, and even spent so much money to purchase this carriage.

-- The car is just that, it's not worth a lot of money. The problem is that the livestock pulling the cart, although the dragon horneed horse is the most inferior riding war beast in the Dongsheng Continent, the price of each horse is more than fifty taels, which is about the price of a sixth-level alien soldier. The amount of refined grain required for domestication is equivalent to the annual need of three prime-aged men.

Compared to the team just now, their family is already shabby. The six hired martial artists, not to mention the regular second-level war beasts like the dragon-blooded horse, didn't even have a single horse. The guards are only thirty, and they are only wearing third-level iron armor.

Yue Bingqian snorted lightly and turned her head, looking a little disdainful. It's just that in those eyes, there is some irrepressible envy. Yue Zhang's family was as calm as ever, and carried the sacrifices into the carriage step by step. It wasn't until everything was ready that we headed in the direction of the ancestral hall. And when their convoy walked out of the alley and into the main street. This time, even Yue Yu didn't dare to lift the curtains to see the situation outside.

When the Yuejia City was built, for the sake of safety, almost all the families of the important people of the Yue family were placed in high places. And now, although hundreds of years have passed, the demon beasts under the mountain have become extinct. However, this area in the north of the city is still an important place for clans, and ordinary clansmen are not qualified to live in it.

――In other words, in Yue Yu's era, to put it a little more bluntly, that is, the so-called rich area, the people here are either rich or powerful. And looking at it along the way, the convoys that picked up were more gorgeous than the other. Their two carriages are mixed in and out of the mix.

Yue Yu wasn't vain, he just didn't want to see the strange eyes cast by him one by one. It's one thing to not care in his heart, but he also doesn't want to be looked up and down like this.

The ancestral hall of the clan is in the northeast of Yuejia City, occupying almost one-eighth of the city's area. The Qingtiaoshi Square outside is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people. By the time Yue Yu and his party arrived, it was already crowded with people.

And it was only here that Yue Yu's opinion on this ancestor worship ceremony changed slightly.

-- Of course, this ceremony was used by the various houses and branches of the Yue family, and they took this opportunity to compare and show off with each other. However, it also plays a role in showing strength and deterrence to the surrounding forces.

There are more than 1,300 martial artists in the Yue family, but at this moment, there are more than 4,000 middle and low-level martial artists gathered in this ancestral hall. The vast majority of them are directly or indirectly owned by small families and merchants who are subordinate to the Yue family.

And as far as Yue Yu knew, such an important memorial would inevitably be on high alert as long as it was the Yue family's sphere of influence. The intensity of the vigilance and the manpower are far greater than usual. In addition, Yue Yu estimated that the clan should have some hidden martial artists more or less.

In this way, the strength displayed by the Yue family this time is really huge. It was enough to offset the influence of the Yue family from the incident in the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago.

However, although this clan ancestral hall occupies a very large area, the houses only have the halls built in the center. The only people who can enter it are Yue Jiayun, Feng, Yu, Lei Sifang and some elite children.

And when she came here, Yue Bingqian's expression gradually regained her peace. Even if you are rich and powerful in the Yue family's city, and you are not a person of the Yue family's lineage, then you have to stay outside obediently!

- However, this mood only lasted for a moment. When he stepped into the ancestral hall, Yue Yu suddenly let out a wry smile. He saw the sacrifices piled up in front of him. Almost all of them, they are all third-level or even fourth-level demon beasts. And look at their own home, it's just a second-level ratchet tiger.

Yue Yu now admired Yue Zhang's psychological quality, and he looked as usual, and asked his subordinates to put the sacrifices such as the steamed ratchet tiger and a group of fruit plates, wine and tea, on the exclusive offering table for them.

――If it were him, even if he didn't want to compare, he would feel restless in this environment. However, Yue Zhang's family did not have any different colors.

After the offerings are placed, the next step is the arrangement, that is, the order in which the ancestors will be incensed. Naturally, the first were the old people and the men of the clan, and then it was the turn of the women and children. Yue Zhang obviously didn't plan to fight for anything this time, so he directly led the three of them to stand a little to the left of the middle of a hall. With the identity of their long room, although it is a little far away from the location, it can also avoid many disputes and avoid some embarrassment. Yue Yu was not surprised by this, he had already heard from Ran Li, since his father died in battle, they had basically forgotten the year.

However, although Yue Zhang's plan is good, many things are not something she can avoid if she wants to. Not long after the few people stood up, a figure who looked like a second-class servant of the ancestral hall respectfully led a woman and two young men over, and then forcibly inserted them in front of them. Seeing this, Yue Zhang's family was helpless, and saw that there were already people standing next to him, so he had to pull Yue Yu and a few people to take a step back.

Originally, when things came to this, it was just a little unpleasant. But at this time, the woman who grabbed the position turned around again, with a look of surprise at the old man.

"Ahh

Yue Yu squinted at the past, it was a young woman in her thirties. A melon seed face can be regarded as beautiful, with a kind of fox flavor. It's just that the dress is a little cheesy.

――This is not because Yue Yu is pantothenic acid in his heart, but it is true. The woman was dressed in gold and silver, and the jewelry in her hair alone weighed about two or three pounds. However, looking at the craftsmanship of the carving and inlay, Yue Yu estimated that the price of this set of small objects alone was enough for him to buy two strong marrow pills.

As if at last she had discovered the impropriety of her behavior, the woman in her dress, was busy shutting her mouth, and her face was full of embarrassment. "I'm really embarrassed, but I was a little reckless just now!"

Yue Yu rolled her eyelids, although this woman said beautifully, she didn't mean to give way at all at this moment. Yue Zhang, on the other hand, frowned and pondered for a long time before he tentatively approached the other party. "Are you Hui Ling, the one in Uncle Seven's room?"

"Hehe! Sister Yaoyi remembers her surname well, I thought you had a lot of nobles, but I don't remember!"

The woman smiled and turned around. "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Sister Yaoyi! At the beginning, it was because I married with my sister to the Yue family, so I had a good marriage. ”

Yue Yu, who was confused, was relieved. In my heart, I estimated that this fox woman should be a sister of Yue Zhang's family. In the Dongsheng Continent, when the daughters of large wealthy families get married, they will be accompanied by sisters and maids who accompany the marriage. If there is a man who is not in the house, or does not want to be included in the house, he will be pointed out to the servants and brothers. It is estimated that this 'Hui Ling' also belongs to this situation.

It's just that this woman, listening to the words, is obviously expressing gratitude, but in that tone, there is no trace of gratitude. On the contrary, there is a little bit of pride-
