Chapter 529: Worship
The house of the Yi family is the one that has been clean and tidy for many years. It is clear and well-organized. Although not as luxurious as the Su family's Bai family, it has its own calm and elegant atmosphere. At the same time, the pattern here is also very clear. With little effort, Lu Chen found the house of the ancestral hall in the back of the Yi family mansion.
Of course, there is no such thing as an ancestral hall. Sometimes there is a large ancestral hall in the same family in the same village, which is used to worship ancestors of all ages. Those who can set up a special place in their homes to build their ancestral temples are basically first-class celebrities and families.
The Yi family ancestors have been beautiful, so the ancestors left the house, and there is also a shrine in the family, but it does not seem to be large, it is just at the corner of the house, and then a courtyard and a blue tile white walled house are all here.
When Lu Chen gently turned into this secluded courtyard, the surrounding was quiet and silent, and the night shrouded the ancestral hall. Only the gate that was always opened according to the customs, there were several long bright lights.
Under the dim light, the shadows trembled slightly, quietly on the table, and enshrined many tablets bearing the names of the people who passed away.
Lu Chen stared into the room for a moment, then walked over, but when he had just reached the door and was about to step over the threshold, his body suddenly paused, but stopped at the door.
Under the long light, his face flickered in the light and shadow, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes sharpened sharply, and he suddenly turned to look at the corner of the temple.
There was a place where the candlelight couldn't shine. There was a wooden chair, and there was a shadow on it. Someone sat there faintly.
The night was quiet, there was no sound for a moment inside and outside the house, and Lu Chen did not show a guilty or scared look, just looking at the figure.
After a while, the shadow moved, and then a person stood up, walked slowly, and stood under the lights.
It looked like an old man, with gray hair and a thin face, and his face looked as bland as Gujing. It seemed very difficult to disturb him any more. Lu Chen gazed at him for a moment, and suddenly found that the old man's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yi Xin.
He frowned, but after a moment of groaning, he bowed his hand and took a step back, showing that he was not hostile, and then said, "I'm sorry, I disturbed the senior." After a pause, he added In one sentence, "Please rest assured, I am not a thief."
The old man was also watching him, and suddenly there was such a stranger in his own house. From start to finish, he didn't have any surprised and angry expression, but just nodded, and said, "I know, there is nothing in this temple. , If it's a thief, it won't come here. "
Rao is always smooth, but at this time I don't know how to proceed. Fortunately, the old man quickly said: "Although our Yi family is a small door and a small family, there are also night guards, and you can sneak in silently. Here, without alarming anyone, there must be amazing magical powers. But I do n’t know what your purpose is, please tell me one or two? ”
Lu Chen silently said, "I'm here to worship an deceased person, but I don't want to disturb the family members of the deceased person, so I'm here by night. I feel ashamed for the inappropriateness, and please forgive me!"
The old man seemed slightly surprised, and after a moment of stunning, he asked, "Which ancestor do you want to worship our Yi family?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, still calmly: "Yi Xin."
The old man trembled slightly, his face changed a little, and after opening his eyes and staring at Lu Chen for a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "Are you ... Lu Chen?"
Lu Chen was startled and nodded: "Exactly, who are you, how did you get to know you next?"
The old man gazed at him for a moment, then sighed, and said, "Come in and talk." He turned and looked at the spirit cards on the table. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yi Ming is the father of Yi Xin. . "

In the silent night, the darkness enveloped the earth, and the night was quiet. Most people entered the dreamland. Only in the ancestral hall of the Yi family's back house, there were two men sitting opposite each other and talking peacefully.
"I have inquired about the events of that year. Although our Yi family is not as good as before, there are still a few people you know on the Kunlun Mountain ..."
Yi Ming said these things to Lu Chen. Although he didn't name him directly, Lu Chen already understood what he meant.
The Yi family is also an indigenous people in the city of Kunwu, and the ancestors have once produced great Yuanying people. Even though their strength is now declining, there are some ways to ask for information.
Not to mention, Yan Luo, who took great care of Yi Xin, and Dongfang Tao who brought Yi Xin into the door, are ready-made friends.
The shrine is not a place for hospitality, so of course there will be no tea in the two of them, just sitting opposite each other, Yi Ming looked at Lu Chen, but suddenly stood up after a long silence, and then saluted him solemnly .
Lu Chen was taken aback, and quickly avoided, saying, "Senior, why is this?"
Yi Ming smiled bitterly, and said, "In any case, it was you who helped Yi Xin avenge him. This is something that our Yi family remembers."
Lu Chen was silent for a while, then whispered after a while: "I'm sorry, I ... didn't save her."
Yi Ming shook his head, turned and walked to the table in the ancestral hall, glanced over the spirits, and finally stopped on a spirit card on the side, sighing softly: "Yi Xin, your friend came to see you."
Lu Chen slowly walked over and glanced at the wooden sign, only to see that he wrote only a simple single line: the daughter of Yi Xin.
At that moment, his lips moved, and it seemed that countless pasts suddenly came to his mind, passing by scene after scene, and then disappeared silently. He turned his head and looked at Yi Ming with a requesting glance, Yi Ming sighed, nodded, and opened his body Lu Chen picked up the fragrance placed on the table, a total of three, The Changming lamp was lit, and blue smoke floated like dreams. He stared at the spirit card on the back of Qingyan, as if he saw the young girl who had good eyes and laughed cheerfully. After a moment, he held the fragrance and paid respectful respect to Yi Xin's spirit three times, then inserted In the incense burner on the table.
The ancestral hall is silent, only the green smoke floats. In retrospect of human life, it may become like this green smoke drifting quietly after the separation of yin and yang.
He stood for a long time, and then gave a gift to Yi Ming, saying, "Thank you for your success, I am grateful. I have already made my wish, and I will leave now."
Yi Ming nodded and said, "His friendship, our Yi family will keep in mind. If there is anything that can help in the future, just talk."
Lu Chen smiled, but shook his head and got involved with himself, which is not a good thing. He arched his hand at Yi Ming, then turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall, and flew into the dark and dark night.
The distant place in front, the majestic Kunlun Mountain, seems to be unfolding in the night, and welcomes the arrival of this stranger.
