The morning light is first dew, and the morning glow is gorgeous. The towering little mountain ushers in a new day with the melodious singing of cicadas and birds.
In this bright morning light, busy figures and sounds broke the tranquility of the morning. On the top of Xiaodang Mountain, young people were running around each other, holding sandalwood, talisman paper, or carrying chairs, furnaces and cauldrons, wandering everywhere in Xiaodang Mountain. When they took the items they needed, they would all rush to somewhere in the back mountain, a busy scene, as if something big happened.
Gradually, the red sun climbed into the sky and poured the warm sunlight to the fullest, a morning bell that resounded across the top of the mountain suddenly rang. At that time, a large group of Mo family members began to walk out of their respective rooms and rushed towards the back mountain.
The Mo Family Ancestral Hall is built on a top unknown mountain peak at the back end of Xiaodang Mountain. This peak is higher than Xiaodang Mountain. The top of the peak is only a few hundred square meters in size. The four walls of the mountain are smooth and steep, and they are dangerously very. If it weren't for the mountain and the back mountain being linked by an iron chain bridge about tens of meters long, it would be impossible for anyone to reach the mountain except for those with strong Wu Zun level or above. This is why the Mo family ancestors built the ancestral hall here. In the Mo Family Ancestral Hall, not only are there tablets of the Mo family heads and tribesmen who have contributed to the family, but also in the middle of the ancestral hall, there is a human-shaped sculpture of more than one or two people tall. This sculpture is the original form of the Mo family ancestor and Mo Tianxing.
The bell that summoned the Mo family members to gathered only for a moment, and the Mo family members arrived one by one. At that time, in the back of Xiaodang Mountain, there were a large number of Mo family members standing, with their eyes swept and rough steps, which would be as large as thousands. So many people stood together, not only did not show chaos, but were neat and tidy, silent. The Mo family members were all full of energy and looked at the ancestral temple in the distance with a solemn face, extremely solemn.
At one end of the iron chain bridge, a young man stood proudly, his eyes were filled with no waves, deep and clear. This person is the protagonist today, Mo Ran is about to return to his family.
Feeling the calm and solemn atmosphere around him, Mo Ran nodded secretly: It seems that the Mo family is not a problem. Just looking at this strict discipline, it shows how strict the Mo family rules are.
At this time, Mo Haopeng walked to Mo Ran and whispered: "The ceremony of returning to the family has only been held twice in history, and it is the second time. Don't be disrespectful, otherwise the entire family will not tolerate you."
After hearing Mo Haopeng's reminder, Mo Ran nodded solemnly. Although Mo Ran was a little arrogant before, he was still very sensible about such serious matters.
"Dong"
Another bell rang, and then, at the other end of the iron chain bridge, in front of the ancestral hall gate, Mo Haofei, who was the host, suddenly said loudly: "The Mo family's ancestral hall is opened to open a temple for the eleventh generation of the Mo family: Mo Ran held a religious ceremony to return to the reincarnation. Now Mo Ran crosses the iron chain bridge and knock three times in front of the ancestral gate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Haopeng secretly poked Mo Ran and signaled him to step forward.
Mo Ran nodded and slowly walked onto the iron chain bridge. The iron chain bridge was dozens of meters, with only two iron chains connecting the back mountain and the ends of the ancestral hall on both sides. The bridge deck was made of countless wooden boards, and nothing was fixed in it. As soon as people walked up, they would sway. But when Mo Ran stepped on the iron chain bridge, the bridge seemed to have not received any weight and remained motionless. This move alone shocked the Mo family members of the entire Xiaodangshan Mountain.
The distance of dozens of meters was reached in just a blink of an eye. When he had just stepped onto the mountain, Mo Haofei immediately shouted: "Knock three times in front of the ancestors' door."
Hearing this, Mo Ran knelt down on his knees and solemnly blew three times in front of the ancestral hall.
"Burn incense."
He stood up slowly, Mo Ran walked to the furnace placed in front of the door, took the sandalwood handed over by a tribe, took three branches and lit them, knelt down again, bowed three times, and then inserted the incense into the furnace.
Because Mo Haopeng had told him before that the next thing was that those who had suffered and were expelled from the family had to listen to the ancestral teachings before they could return to the family. So after everything was over, Mo Ran did not get up, but just knelt there and did not move.
Seeing that Mo Ran was so polite, several elders nodded slightly. Then, Mo Haofei took out another yellowed booklet and started reading it.
After a long time, the ancestor's memory had been read. Logically, Mo Ran should have stood up at this time, and the head of the family wrote his name in the genealogy again, which would be declared over. However, when Mo Ran remembered, Mo Qing, who was standing in the first place, suddenly shouted loudly.
"Moran, kneel down."
The sudden change shocked everyone on the spot. Even Mo Haopeng at the end of the iron chain bridge looked at Mo Qing in confusion.
Hearing this, Mo Ran raised his head and looked at Mo Qing in surprise. Then, Mo Ran suddenly realized that the head of the family Mo Cheng and the elders all looked helpless, but their eyes were full of... jealousy.
Yes, it's just jealousy.
Before Mo Ran could figure out what was going on, Mo Qing said again: "A year ago, the Mo family suffered a huge change. Overnight, it was almost destroyed by people. Not only that, but other families of the Eight Great Family were also like this. After investigation, the incident was related to an unknown force. In order to protect the Eight Great Family from being destroyed, the Eight Great Family launched a joint siege order to jointly investigate the source of this force."
A clear voice paused slightly, and Mo Qing continued, "Of course my Mo family is not behind others. Now I announce that the Mo family has formed an alliance with the eight major families and sent people to the mainland to pursue the roots. This mission, after the agreement between the sect and the head of the family and the elders, it was decided to send Mo Ran to the place. If Mo Ran can complete this mission successfully, the sect will decide that when Mo Ran returns, the next head of the family will be Mo Ran."
"Wow"
The originally quiet mountain behind Xiaodangshan was like a pot after Mo Qing finished his last sentence. The people of all tribes were talking about a decision incredibly. For a moment, the entire Xiaodangshan was suddenly covered by this wave of sound, which seemed extremely noisy.
"Silent."
Seeing the scene becoming chaotic, the head of the family Mo Cheng frowned slightly, suddenly shouted loudly, suppressing the noisy sound, and said, "This is the decision of the ancestor and the Elder Hall. If anyone is dissatisfied, he can give his own opinions after the ceremony, but now, shut up."
Opinions? Who will have opinions?
This sentence was said from the two characters Mo Qing and Mo Cheng. It was obvious that it had been agreed upon, so no one dared to have any objections to the head of the family and the ancestors. Even if they had any objections, they had to see who the beneficiary was? That's Mo Ran, even the elders of the Elders' Hall did not take it seriously, let alone himself.
Thinking of this, no one dared to discuss it anymore and they shut their mouths one after another.
Seeing this, Mo Qing nodded, then looked at Mo Ran, and said to the former with a smile: "Mo Ran, I hope you will not let down the family's trust and be able to complete this task successfully. When you come back, the Mo family will be in charge."
Mo Ran raised his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master, can this family leader be okay?"
"presumptuous."
Mo Ran's words immediately attracted the displeasure of the four elders and the head of the family.
He waved his hand slightly, Mo Qing stopped the five people who were furious and whispered: "What? Don't want to be like? Tell you, no. If you don't agree, all the agreements with the head of the family will be invalidated."
Looking at Mo Qing, Mo Ran suddenly felt like he was trapped: Could it be that it was his idea from the beginning? I was so dizzy, now it was a boat capsized in the gutter.
Facing Mo Qing's slightly sinister smile, Mo Ran could only shrugged helplessly and agreed.
Next, everything became simple. Mo Cheng rewrites Moran's name on the genealogy, puts three incense sticks, and then instructs his clan members to retreat.
A ceremony to return to the family ends here.
However, the matter was not over. Immediately afterwards, Mo Xiong fulfilled his promise to Mo Ran, knelt three times and nine times from the mountain gate, went straight to the welcoming hall, poured tea for Mr. Fang, and admitted his mistake. Mo Ran helped him restore his skills.
The incident attracted countless people from the clan to stop and watch. When they saw the Taibao figure who had always been arrogant in the clan, most of them looked full of pleasure. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that Mo Xiong's popularity in the family is not very good.
