On One Hundred Ways of Raising Gluttony

Different from ordinary sacrifices, even though Lin Mo never knew exactly who he was worshiping in this large-scale sacrifice that would be held every few years, but growing up in this place, he still knew the basic process.

After the group had breakfast, Lin Mo left Qiao Mu to help, and took Ruiyi alone to find the patriarch.

The suit he is wearing now is just a replica of the one he was wearing when he was a child, but the size has become larger, and the rest of the decorations have basically remained the same. Ruiyi's clothes are so similar to his, he already understood the patriarch's intention.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the patriarch's house, the patriarch was waiting for them there. When he saw them, there was no surprise on his face.

The patriarch waited for two people, one big and one small, to enter the house, greeted them with a smile, and closed the door cautiously.

"Come on, sit down first." The patriarch pointed to the two chairs beside him with a smile and said.

Lin Mo took care of Ruiyi to sit down first, and then said: "Patriarch, is there any arrangement for the sacrificial ceremony?"

The patriarch glanced at Rui Yi who was sitting on a chair with an uncle-like face, and said, "Yes. But let's not talk about that for now."

Rui Yi fixedly glanced at the smiling face of the old patriarch, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's about me."

The patriarch nodded and said: "I know, you are not Xiaomo's son. The villagers don't know your identity, but the patriarchs of all generations know it very well."

Ruiyi nodded, there was no surprise expression on his face at all.The old man knew his real identity. When he first arrived in the village, he didn't show any surprise when he saw him, and he didn't show any curiosity about his identity. He had already guessed at all.

Lin Mo looked at the two of them in surprise. They have been cooperating for so long, and he is the only one acting happily. The real party involved has already known.No wonder, the food has been getting richer and richer every day these few days. I thought it was because he hadn't come back for a long time, and the patriarch felt sorry for him, but he didn't expect to be the one who got rich.

The patriarch took a deep look at Lin Mo, and said with a smile: "Okay, so does Xiao Mo, although I already know Ruiyi's identity, but the food and drink are all according to your taste. "

Lin Mo smiled, but he couldn't quite believe it in his heart.Knowing his taste eczema, it is true to choose according to his taste, but it is not so credible to say that it is completely for him. What's more, it is just that they don't know Ruiyi's taste.However, this is not surprising. After all, their relationship has never been considered close. Even though the old patriarch has been helping him take care of the family, thinking about his performance and his determination that he will come back again, it is estimated that he will come back to do those things. But it's more of a responsibility.

Ruiyi glanced sideways at Lin Mo, who was inexplicably depressed, and said with a solemn face, "Old man, I don't care about these things. You asked me to come. What's the matter?"

The patriarch said: "After the sacrifice is over, I will let Ahe take you in. I have already given him the map. Also, you guessed it right, there is indeed a part of your power sealed inside, and we will guard it here For so many years, even when the war broke out, I didn’t move away, it was for this matter.”

Ruiyi didn't have any feeling about their loyalty to Fuxi, nor was she interested in it, she just nodded to show that she knew.

The matter of the patriarch was obviously not finished. After Ruiyi finished explaining what was hidden inside, he simply said: "There is another thing inside, which is a sacred object left by the great god Fuxi, and left for Xiaomo."

Ruiyi didn't respond yet, but Lin Mo was really surprised.In fact, he has always been a little curious about that mysterious forbidden zone at most, and he never thought that there is actually something hidden that is meant to be left to him alone.

Ruiyi said: "He is mine now, and he can only use my things. Your great god Fuxi, even now, I don't take revenge on you, it doesn't mean that I don't mind that he lied to me back then."

The old patriarch stood up from his chair, bowed respectfully to Ruiyi and said, "Master Ruiyi, that thing is very important to Xiaomo, please forgive me."

Rui Yi said: "My net, I think, is not open at all."

The old village chief was not discouraged by Ruiyi's refusal. Seeing that Ruiyi's attitude was still arrogant, he simply took it up and said, "I believe that you have already given Xiaomo the copy of my Fuxi clan's cultivation method. , others can't see it, but I can see it, although Xiao Mo's current aura is very faint, it is slowly getting closer and closer to the aura of our family in ancient times."

Ruiyi clicked his tongue and said, "So what!"

The old patriarch said: "Xiaomo is the most sensitive to that set of exercises. From now on, his cultivation progress will be faster and faster. If there is no such thing, his body may not be able to bear it. He collapsed before he really succeeded in cultivation."

Ruiyi's brows were already wrinkled into three deep marks.

Ruiyi said: "Fuxi, worthy of being Fuxi, you can be treacherous and cunning!"

Lin Mo who was at the side quietly moved away a little, lest Ruiyi's anger did not vent for a while, and he would suffer disaster.

The patriarch did not respond to his evaluation. Every patriarch asked to learn and memorize the "The Book of the Patriarch" before taking office. Among them, Chapter 1 clearly mentioned that Ruiyi was indeed killed by Fuxi. It was cheated by the great god, and their group did owe him, there is no way to deny this matter.

Ruiyi rubbed his teeth silently in his heart for a while, glanced at Lin Mo who was far away, and said, "Okay, I promise you."

The patriarch sincerely said thank you, and then said: "Also, this is a request."

Ruiyi waved his hand impatiently, and said, "If you have anything, explain it clearly at once, don't squeeze it out bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste."

The patriarch nodded and said: "Xiaomo is connected with you now, so if you feel that you don't like Xiaomo for a day, or Xiaomo offends you, when you think it is unforgivable , I trouble you to see that he has been following you for so long, please remember to let him go when the time comes."

Lin Mo, who was at the side, raised his head, with a touch of emotion on his face, and said, "Patriarch??????"

Just because you're not close doesn't mean you don't care.Although he didn't know the reason for not being close, but the patriarch Chong was willing to beg Ruiyi for him today, and what made him feel uncomfortable for so many years before had become insignificant.

The patriarch sighed, and said: "Indeed, your incident made our Fuxi clan feel sorry for you, but Xiaomo has done his best for you all this way. In fact, we have long been mentally prepared for you to wash this place with blood, but, In any case, please let Xiao Mo go."

Ruiyi snorted lightly, nodded, and agreed.

Even though he had no intention of taking Fuxi's blame on his descendants for a long time, the spectrum of change still has to be laid out. This point, even if Lin Mo is now her own, cannot be changed.

Rui Yi said: "I'm not interested in killing you guys now. But let Lin Mo go, it depends on how well he serves me." As for their hands and feet, they never kill female subduers, I still don't talk about it.Lest the little slave be too happy and get carried away.

Everything has been settled, the patriarch showed a reassuring smile on his face, and for the first time looked at Lin Mo with the loving eyes of an elder looking at Wanbei, turned around and left without saying anything.

What followed was the complicated sacrificial ceremony. The patriarch said that Ruiyi didn’t need to kneel down to the statue tablet in the ancestral hall, but just stood aside indifferently, watching the villagers including Lin Mo’s pious kneeling, just like watching a movie. Boring mime.However, after the mime, he can enter his stuff in the secret place, so it's not impossible to be patient.

As an outsider, Qiao Mu simply stayed by Ruiyi's side, watching everything with novelty.This ancient ceremony has not been seen for a long time.

Even the Ching Ming Festival, which is very important to the whole people, now most of them simply buy some sacrifices, kneel down on the grave, weed, play with and set off a string of firecrackers. In some developed areas, it is even more difficult. Simplified, some are directly a bunch of flowers to solve all problems.

Although it is said to be environmentally friendly, many things contained in it gradually lose their meaning, and the distance between people is getting farther and farther.

But like this, the uniform clothes are prepared early, and when the day comes, everyone will have breakfast together in the morning and prepare to sacrifice together. Let alone other things, just this scene makes people feel, such a The village, or such a family, is really united, which makes people feel very envious.

Ding Zilong, who sneaked out and followed Qiao Mu secretly, saw the expression on Qiao Mu's face, and felt sorry for him. As an orphan, even if he wanted to participate in such an activity, Ding Zilong had never had the opportunity to experience it, so he silently held him by his side. hand.

The corners of Qiao Mu's mouth curled up slightly, and he squeezed his hand back forcefully.

Ruiyi glanced lightly at Ding Zilong who had sneaked out, and finally said nothing, but looked at Lin Mo with a little hotter eyes.

After the worship is over, the next step is to report on the major events in the village in the past few years and the fact that Lin Mo has returned. Everyone takes turns to burn a stick of incense, and the main procedure of the sacrifice is even a paragraph higher.

The patriarch stood up at this time and said: "Everyone has so many generations of ancestors, and we have also lost weight here for so many years. In our village, many people see it as a very strange custom and habit. superstition."

The people below heard it inexplicably, looked at each other, and began to discuss in a low voice.

The patriarch cleared his throat, waited for a bit of silence below, and continued: "And Xiao Mo, we all know why he became an orphan, so I won't say much here. Now he came back from outside and brought back a child , I don’t hide it from everyone, many young people are very curious about what is in the secret place, so I will say here today, after three days, after three days, our village will no longer have such a place, from now on, You young people, if you want to explore there, I will never stop you again."
