The central altar is a pillar of heaven, and on the south side of the pillar there is a stone table that is one and a half feet long and several feet wide. After those ancestral 'servants' and 'women' ascended the central altar through the ugly majesty and his majesty on the central altar, they respectfully placed the spirit cards of the five ancestors of the Five Merchants Alliance in their hands on the stone table, arranged them in a certain order, and then walked down the central altar from His Majesty and His Majesty in turn, turned to the north, and walked back to the high platform of the Monkey King Hall.

Two thousand ancestors 'servant' and 'woman', then invited out two thousand ancestors of the spirit card, although the stone table is very large, this spirit card is also a lot, when the two thousand ancestors 'servant' 'woman' left the center altar, everyone looked at it again, the stone table was already full.

Wang Changming, as the host of the ancestor worship ceremony, naturally has to control every link throughout the process. When the last ancestor 'servant' and 'woman' returned to the high platform of the Monkey King Hall with the accompaniment of the third chapter of the sacrificial music and the second stage of the sacrificial dance, Wang Changming stood in front of the steps of the Monkey King Hall again. As his right hand was raised high to the sky, the sacrificial music was silenced, the sacrificial dance stopped, and Wang Changming said loudly: "The ancestral god is on the throne, and the sacrifice is offered!!"

As Wang Changming's voice fell, under the high platform of the Monkey King Hall, two more columns of big men appeared, detouring from both sides of the Monkey King Hall to the south of the Monkey Sky Hall. These big men worked in pairs, carrying a small sedan chair on their shoulders, which contained the offerings, wine, food, incense candles, and 'jade' silks, and all of them carried out sixteen sedan chairs.

These big men carried the sixteen sedan chairs, accompanied by the performance of the fourth chapter of the sacrificial music and the performance of the third stage of the sacrificial dance, along the road walked by the ancestors' 'servants' and 'women', from the ugly majesty and the majesty of the central altar to the central altar, put down the sedan chair, took out the sacrifices in it and placed them in a specific order in front of the stone table, after everything was arranged, these big men lifted the sedan chair again, walked down the central altar from His Majesty and His Majesty in turn, turned to the north, and went to the north of the Monkey King Hall again.

Welcoming the ancestral gods and offering sacrifices, another hour has passed before and after. And after these processes, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Changming raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun on the first day of the new year was lazily hiding in the thin clouds of winter, so that the sun did not appear to be very good at noon. However, the weather is just right.

And Wang Changming stood in front of the steps of the Monkey King Hall again, still holding the bamboo slip in his left hand, holding the right hand high to the sky, and said loudly: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sacrifice is up, the yang qi rises, the heavenly 'door' opens, the clansmen offer incense, worship the ancestral gods!!"

Until this moment, it was the time for the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance to worship their ancestors, and the core members of the five major families in the Monkey King Hall had already stood in line in the hall for two and a half hours, and until now, it was finally the end.

The core members of the five families, led by the patriarchs of the five families, were all wearing solemn sacrificial dresses, and each of them held three five-foot high arm-thick incense pillars with both hands, and hundreds of people walked out of the Monkey King Hall in turn, walked down the high platform, and walked to the central altar with serious and solemn expressions step by step.

Upon arrival at the central altar, the queue stopped. The five patriarchs left the team first, passed through the east side of the central altar, detoured from north to south, and ascended to the central altar from the noon majesty, facing the two thousand spirit tablets on the stone table, and stopped.

Wang Changyang, the patriarch of the Wang clan in Qizhou and the "Nine Immortal Sword Emperor", first came out, lit the incense pillar from the holy brazier, held the incense pillar above his head with both hands on the two thousand spirit cards on the stone table, and bowed deeply three times, stood upright, and 'inserted' the three huge incense pillars in his hand into the same huge incense burner, and then stood solemnly, hugged his hands, left hand on top, palm inward, leaned over and pushed his hand, and so on three bows.

After doing all this, Wang Changyang retreated into the queue of the five patriarchs, and after Wang Changyang returned to the queue, the other four patriarchs went forward at the same time, like Wang Changyang, lit the incense pillar, held the incense stick three times, and 'inserted' the incense pillar into the incense burner, and then bowed three times, and then retreated into the queue.

After offering incense in turn, the five patriarchs took a step forward at the same time, and then the five people lifted the hem of their clothes at the same time, knelt down in front of the stone table of worship, prostrated themselves three times, and then stood up, and together from the left side of the stone table and the pillar of heaven, they left the central altar from the north, and waited behind the central altar.

Subsequently, the elders of the five major families walked through the route of the five great family patriarchs, climbed the altar, offered incense in turn, and bowed down three times to worship the ancestral gods, and then left the altar according to the route of the five family patriarchs, ranking behind the five family patriarchs.

After the first generation of elders finished offering incense and worshipping their ancestors, the second generation of children ascended the altar in order from the east to the Mao Majesty, and after worshipping their ancestors in the same order as their fathers, they left the altar from the west in order, after the first generation of elders.

After the core members of the second generation and the second generation all offered incense to worship their ancestors, the spouses of the core members of the first and second generations led by the wives of the five major families also ascended the altar from the afternoon majesty and the mao majesty respectively in the order of the second generation, and worshiped the ancestors with incense, and then left the altar by the son majesty and the unitary majesty respectively, ranking behind the core members of the second generation and the second generation.

Subsequently, this group of people from the inner circle of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance returned to the Monkey King Hall step by step with serious expressions.

It wasn't until the last person also entered the Monkey King Hall that Wang Changming stood in front of the high steps of the Monkey King Hall again.

From the beginning of the ancestor worship ceremony to the worship of ancestors, it took about two and a half hours, from the hour to two o'clock in the afternoon. And the worship of the ancestors of the core members of the five major families of the Five Business Alliance lasted for about an hour and a half, and by the time everyone finished worshipping the ancestors, it was already the time of Shen.

For four hours, from morning to afternoon, the people watching the ceremony on the main square had eaten and drunk, and the core members of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance had eaten and drunk something before offering incense and worshipping their ancestors, although they had been standing all the time. However, the celebrants, including Wang Changming, including those Taoists, drummers, dancers, ancestral 'attendants' and 'women', and men carrying sedan chairs, have never rested, eaten and drank. However, whether it is Wang Changming or other celebrants, they are still full of spirit and grace, and they do not seem to have been affected in any way, which makes those who watch the ceremony also admire.

Wang Changming still held the Jane in his left hand and the sky in his right hand, and said loudly: "The clansmen worship the ancestors with incense, and the sacrifice is completed!!"

A sentence came out, but it was announced to everyone that the New Year's Ceremony of the Five Merchants Alliance was officially over.

To be continued......
