Chapter 15 Burning the ancestral hall (thanks to Tuyuan's monthly pass)(1/2)
Ruoao Ziyong took the opportunity to say quickly, "The clan elder, now the grand girl is being hunted down. Ziyong has been hiding to protect the grand girl and has been hiding to the ancestral hall. If you don't save us, my Ruoao's bones and blood will be killed by the assassin!"
"Mr. Ling Yin will definitely blame us!"
Ruo Ao Ziyong said this, but the other party was still hesitant.
Seeing this, the woman frowned slightly, and through the crack of the door, thinking about the words that people she heard said on weekdays, she stepped forward and tried to calm down and said, "This clan elder, I have always heard that the Ruoao family is the largest clan of my Great Chu. Is it because you, Ruoao family, have you seen the death of the great woman here and do not provide help? Is it because your Ruoao family's rules greater than the heaven of our Chu State? Are you still right to set up the golden plaque of "Loyalty to Great Chu" given by King Wu on the archway?"
The woman yelled louder.
One sentence is repeated, and the eyes are like torch.
Everyone inside the door was a little guilty.
"this……"
The elder of the clan who was watching saw the other party erect and didn't know what to do. This was the first time he encountered this. Looking at the pregnant woman in front of him, he had already recognized her identity.
But he didn't know whether he should enter.
When women and children enter the ancestral hall, this is a taboo and will cause great disasters.
However, he also knew that when the child of the Taiwo was born, he was afraid that he would be the hope of the revival of the Ruo Ao family.
He cannot lose his insurance.
In the dilemma, Ruo Ao Ziyong fought hard, shouted loudly, ignored nothing, pulled the woman's wrist and turned her head and left with great righteousness.
"Forget it, if you don't leave me here, you will have a place to leave me! The grand girl, Ziyong will definitely protect you to the death. Please don't blame me, Ruoao's ancestor!"
"We will go down the mountain now and find Lord Cheng to help the rescue!"
If you can't protect the woman now.
I'm afraid he will be killed afterwards.
So, he is gambling now!
Zhang Fang was stunned when he heard this. Lord Yin of his county has always been timid. When did he have such courage?
"Forget it, let's not be an example!"
After hearing this, the clan elder finally ordered people to open the door and put them in, "Then come in quickly, and the other guards guard the ancestral hall, and they will never be allowed to enter randomly, which will destroy the resting place of ancestors."
"Yes, clan elder."
All Ruoao tribes obeyed the orders.
Everyone entered the ancestral hall. Under the everlasting lights, they saw dozens of spiritual cards standing in the main hall. The top was the first ancestor Bobby, and the first emperor, Ruo Ao Ziwen, who went down one by eight rows. In addition, under the tablet, there was a long scroll of genealogy and family motto on the long golden case.
There is an incense burner that lasts for many years.
Day and night, we worship our ancestors endlessly.
The clan elder sighed, and then said to Ruoao Ziyong, "Since you are in, just avenge your ancestors!"
"Yes, thank you for the elders of the clan."
Ruo Ao Ziyong took three yellow incense sticks from beside him, approached the white candle and lit it. Then, he changed his usual laziness and knelt down and bowed solemnly, "Ruo Ao's ancestors are above, please forgive the eighth generation grandson. Ziyong was reckless. In order to save the wife of his cousin Yan, he will disturb his ancestors' rest today. If you escape from heaven in the future, you will be repaid in the future."
After saying that, he knocked three loudly.
Seeing this, the woman also followed suit and lighted incense and bowed to worship and salute, "If the ancestor of Ao is here, today, in order to save the life of the woman, the little girl trespassed into the ancestral hall. Please forgive me."
Everyone was panicked and did not pay attention to the woman's lyrics. They just kowtowed and respectfully inserted Huang Xiang into the furnace and paid attention to the movement outside.
Not long after, there was a shout of killing outside. The clan elder ordered people to go out and inquire, "Go out and see what the hell is going on?"
"Yes, clan elder..."
The guard ran out of the ancestral hall with his sword and halberds. A large number of men in black appeared outside. He immediately ordered people to pull the bow and prepare to shoot arrows. "Who dares to trespass into the Ruoao ancestral hall!"
"Go away quickly and Rao Er and his life!"
Outside the ancestral hall, Lu Yi frowned and looked up at the standing golden plaque archway when he heard this, and hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
The other subordinates asked, "Commander, what should we do? This is a ancestral hall, and we cannot use swords and swords!"
People at that time had awe of their ancestors.
Don't dare to get close.
Even want to back off.
"But if we wait, we will come soon. If we miss the opportunity, will we lose all our efforts?" Lu hesitated when he thought of Yue Jiao's desperate efforts, "Now that we have come to this point. If we don't kill the grand girl, we will die when we go back!"
"Come on, set the fire and force them out."
Lu has one mind and one lateral force, and his life is the way of life.
Everyone pulled out the wine cup at their waists and threw it on the burning bronze cauldron. Suddenly, a huge fire rose into the sky with the bright fire. Looking at the thick black smoke, the guarded attendant Ruo Ao shouted for help, "It's not good to come! Go away!...Extinguish the fire quickly!"
Hearing the sound of "walking through water" outside, the clan elder immediately opened the door and rushed out, shouting, "This is to destroy the three hundred years of my Ruoao family's foundation!..."
"Who are they?"
"What the hell do?"
"...Make a sin!...Come, come, come, put out the fire!"
I saw the tongue of fire climbing up along the corner of the ancient wooded archway and the ancestral hall. Ruo Ao Ziyong stood in the hall and looked at the fire outside the ancestral hall, and suddenly felt that the sky was about to collapse!
This is the most sacred place in the entire Ruoao family. Even Lord Ling Yin dared not speak loudly here every year during sacrifices. Except for the New Year and rituals, the gates of the ancestral hall are closed on weekdays, so no one can bother.
He cannot afford to burn the ancestral hall and fail to take good care of the crime of poor care.
Let the fire burn and the ancestral hall be finished.
Could it be that the ancestors' prophecies will come true?
He cannot afford the everlasting sinner of Ruoao.
Ruo Ao Ziyong's scalp numb and his heart stumbled. The woman also urged him worriedly, "Mr. Ruo Ao, please put out the fire quickly! You can't let them destroy the ancestral hall!"
"Yes, put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"
Ruoao Ziyong shouted.
Zhang Fang was also stunned, and immediately ordered someone to scoop water to put out the fire. However, in such hot and dry weather, the fire simply rose when the wind was blowing. After a while, it had covered the high wall and burned the entire ancestral hall.
"Let's go and help!"
The entire ancestral temple was in full bloom.
Thinking of himself accidentally igniting fire to the ancestral hall, Ruo Ao Ziyong personally picked up a wooden basin and scooped water, and ran out of the ancestral hall.
Everyone rushed out with the basin and buckets and began to put out the fire.
The door opened, and Lu Yi, who was guarding outside, immediately wanted to take the opportunity to rush in, and all the guards fought with them.
Many elderly people came out after hearing the movement, looked at the fire and knelt in front of the ancestral hall and cried, shouting: "This is God who is going to destroy me, Ruo Ao!"
"The soul of the ancestors will have nowhere to rest in peace in the future!"
Cheng Jia, who was rushing to see the burning house, was shocked.
He never expected that a small secret door would lead to the Ruoao Clan Ancestral Hall, and the people of Ruoao Yuejiao set fire to the Ruoao Clan Ancestral Hall. He was so bold that he was so bold that the thick blue smoke rolled up into the sky, making half of the night sky in Jingnan even darker, and the firelight reflected red across the entire Jingling City, so he quickly ordered people to put out the fire.
Seeing that the matter was getting worse, Cheng Jia's reinforcements had arrived, and quickly ordered everyone, "Take this opportunity, let's retreat quickly!"
"Don't leave any handle!"
"yes!"
The assassins fought and retreated, and everyone was busy putting out the fire.
The fire lasted for more than half an hour before everyone extinguished it.
Cheng Jia looked at the burning of the ancestral temple outside. It was a great blessing that it did not burn inside. However, all the members of the Ruoao clan knelt on the charred land in grief and cried bitterly.
It seems that there is no peace anymore.
Ruoao's family was destroyed by the first time.
Cheng Jia frowned deeply, stood under a burnt ashes archway, and ordered the remaining assassin corpses to be carried to the elders of the clan and said slowly, "Today's affairs are all because these thieves are brave and want to assassinate the Grand Lady. Please testify and decide the matter. I will report to Lord Ling Yin together with the assassination of the Grand Lady."
When the crowd heard this, there was a silence, then a riot.
Several old men stood up and shouted, "Old clan, this matter cannot be over. This arson must be caught and slashed thousands of swords to comfort the spirit of the ancestors!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"Kill them!"
All the people who came were angry.
The clan elder focused his head, supported the ground and said angrily, "I, Ruoao, have lived for a lifetime and have been guarding the ancestral hall for decades. Today, the ancestral hall is burned. Our Ruoao family will not give up. Even if we go to the capital to sue the king, I will still catch this madman!"
"Yes, we, Ruoao, must not swallow this!"
Cheng Jia walked to Ruoao Ziyong and looked at him who was also kneeling on the ground and said, "The King of Ruoao County must have been robbed and killed in the Jingling County Yin Mansion, and the Ruoao Clan Ancestral Hall was burned. Do you know how to write it!"
"Yes... the official knows, I will tell Lord Ling Yin according to the truth!" Ruoao Ziyong knelt down and agreed.
Things have come to this point.
To be continued...
