Chapter 271 Wedding Ceremony, Offering Sacrifice at the Mountain Gate
Chapter 271 Wedding Ceremony, Offering Sacrifice at the Mountain Gate
The so-called sacrificial ceremony consists of two parts.
One is for welcoming the bride, and the other is for ancestor worship.
Note that the ancestral worship here is not for the two figures in the heavens, but for the mountain gate. On the road connecting the hall and the home, in addition to the viewing pavilions on both sides of the road, there is an altar facing several mountain peaks of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The altars vary in size, with incense for offerings placed beside them and soft cushions for kneeling in front.
This step is to allow Ning Wuque to receive the congratulations and blessings from the ancestors of the sect. Under each mountain peak that requires kneeling, at least one former sect leader and his/her spouse are buried, along with some Supreme Elders at the level of Super Douluo or even Limit Douluo.
After their deaths, they will be buried in the mountains and rocks in a glorious manner, which means that even after death they can protect the sect, watch their descendants grow up, and personally guide them.
For example, the mountain where Wu Yan's family is located, although it is only a remote peak, also contains a level 98 Super Douluo ancestor who is close to the Limit Douluo, as well as two generations of sect masters of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He could be considered a die-hard loyalist of the sect.
The Gu family's situation is even more outrageous. Their family directly occupies two peaks, one containing the body of Bone Rong and the other containing the body of Sword Douluo Chen Xin. In addition, there are countless Super Douluo and dozens of sect leaders buried there.
The altar facing the two peaks is the second largest, and it requires six bows and one kowtow, which is the most important ritual. It is also the only place in the entire process where one needs to kowtow, apart from kowtowing to Grandpa Zhang Can.
Ning Wuque didn't object much to this, because apart from Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Zhang Can, the people who helped him the most in the entire sect were Gu Long and Ning Fengxiao!
This was essentially acknowledging the two of them as true relatives and going to worship their common ancestors. For Ning Wuque, who had spent much of his previous life in the Guangzhou area, it was nothing at all, and he was even quite willing to do so.
In his previous life, he often went to the ancestral hall with his mother to worship their ancestors when he was a child.
This was also Ning Wuque's favorite part of the whole process. Paying homage to the ancestors was good, because the ancestors would bless him to become a god. When he became a god, he would definitely question Ning Rongrong on their behalf.
After explaining the ancestral worship ceremony, it was time for the wedding procession.
This process is the same as quarrying; it depends on whether the bride wants to make things difficult for you.
But as for Ning Wuque...
"Very...beautiful! I've come to pick you up. Here, let me put them on you."
Upon entering the bridal chamber, Ning Wuque was immediately stunned by what he saw.
There's no other reason than that Ning Tian and Wu Feng, both dressed in wedding gowns, each possessed their own unique beauty, and both perfectly matched Ning Wuque's definition of "beauty."
He swore that at this moment, even Wang Dong'er, who was personally created by God King Tang San, could not compare to the two people wearing wedding dresses in his eyes.
The phrase "so beautiful that fish sink and geese fall from the sky, so beautiful that the moon hides and flowers blush" perfectly describes this.
"Here, Fengmei, let me put it around your neck."
Ning Wuque sat down between the two women, took off the ornament hanging around his neck, and then put it on Wu Feng's neck.
Looking down from above, Wu Feng wore a red cloth covering his head, adorned with cinnabar like stars and agate like the moon.
Her wedding dress was also fiery red, with a lifelike dragon sewn on top by gold thread, its tail like waves and its front like water, with precious jade hanging on either side.
The overall design was quite conservative, and although it didn't accentuate her perfect figure, she was still very beautiful.
“Come here, Tian’er, this is a small pagoda that your father brought. It’s not convenient to wear it on your body. You can take it and I’ll use this jewelry to decorate you.”
When it was Ning Tian's turn, Ning Wuque handed the small tower soul tool to her, and at the same time took out the accessories from the jewelry inside and put them on her, while admiring her beauty.
Unlike Wu Feng's fiery red dragon wedding gown, Ning Tian wore a light-colored, nine-colored glass wedding gown. The veil was adorned with scattered gemstone fragments of nine different colors, giving the overall look a bluish hue.
The wedding dress she wore was also mainly made of cyan, and it consisted of nine thin layers that resembled overlapping waves. Although it was unpainted, it symbolized the characteristics of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul. Each thin layer had a corresponding gemstone plating that matched the color of the cyan, making it neither dazzling nor flashy, but exceptionally noble.
It's not about wealth, but rather a sense of innate nobility!
Even after the decorations were put on them, the two remained silent, simply sitting and waiting for Ning Wuque to lead them to the sacrificial ceremony.
Ning Wuque stretched out his hands and pulled the two of them to their feet. He then led them out the door and onto the road down the mountain.
Soon, they arrived at the first altar on the road. The guests and disciples of the sect who were watching from the towers by the roadside all kept silent at the instruction of their elders. They did not stick their heads out, but stood in the windows to look at the bride.
Fortunately, there are many towers, and even for disciples of the sect, each tower is relatively spacious, allowing everyone to quietly appreciate the scenery inside.
Below, Ning Wuque was seen kneeling on a prayer mat, with two brides dressed in wedding gowns standing behind him.
Facing the mountain peaks, Ning Wuque lit three incense sticks in his hand and placed them in the earthenware bowl on the altar. Only after the smoke had risen three feet did he bow and clasp his hands in worship.
Behind them, Wu Feng and Ning Tian also placed their hands together on their abdomens and bowed slightly towards the mountain peak in front of them.
After bowing three times, Ning Wuque got up, picked up the gourd of wine next to the altar, poured it into a bowl, then drew a line on the ground and scattered it. He then put the wine and bowl back in their original positions and walked away with the two brides.
Only after the two had walked far away did the exclamations of surprise from the disciples and guests echo through the quiet street:
"So beautiful! No wonder you are our young sect leader."
"Yes, yes, and Miss Wu Feng too. When she was little, she seemed so impulsive, but I never imagined she would grow up to be so elegant. Girls really do change a lot as they grow up."
"How solemn and dignified! Is this the legacy of a major sect?"
"Indeed, although it is complicated, every step demonstrates its strength both outward and inward."
The rituals continued.
They traveled slowly through the quiet streets. Ning Wuque, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng would stop at each new altar to offer their prayers before continuing on their way.
The three of them did not change their minds until two altars, larger than the previous ones, appeared.
The number of prayer cushions increased from one to three. This time, even Ning Tian and Wu Feng couldn't resist kneeling on the two prayer cushions next to the middle one, and followed Ning Wuque's lead in worshiping.
Then, the two stood up and bowed again as Ning Wuque kowtowed.
The other one is the same.
After all, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were ancestors who truly risked their lives for the sect to be passed down for ten thousand years.
Soon, the worship ceremony was completed, and two-thirds of the route had been traveled.
It wasn't until nearly four o'clock in the afternoon that Ning Wuque and the other two slowly completed all the rituals and arrived at the foot of Elder Peak, climbing the steps all the way up.
The final step is coming up.
