Chapter 1640 Trash
Wuzhangyuan.
It was late autumn, and the sad wind on the desolate and vast plain was even more bleak, but the Wuzhang Plain was not lonely. There were many monks worshiping and paying their respects in the cold wind.
Today is Zhuge Weigong's memorial day, and the Wuzhangyuan Festival once every hundred years will also begin.
"Every time I think about Zhuge Weigong, I always feel regretful. In today's world, it is difficult to find such a great Confucian!"
"Yes, Duke Wei galloped alone, and was surrounded by many, and went straight to Chang'an. Although thousands of people went to him, he knew that he couldn't do it. How tragic. Although he died in Wuzhangyuan, he was still a teacher for future generations. He has a great opportunity to be reborn After that, he made great contributions in the world of cultivating immortals, realized the way of the army, protected the spiritual veins of Dongzhou, drove the Hao clan out of the sky, and shocked the world with the way of the army... it is hard to say."
"It's a pity that the descendants of future generations are unworthy, and the situation is getting worse. I heard that their reputation in Xihezhou has not been very good over the years..."
"Stop, it has nothing to do with us not being in Dongsheng Prefecture, be careful what comes out of your mouth."
"It's also...we worship the sages, and it has nothing to do with future generations."
From time to time, there were voices of discussion, which came to the ears of Zhou Shu who was walking leisurely. Zhou Shu just acted indifferently and laughed it off.
As they walked, two monks suddenly stood in front of the road and stared at Zhou Shu, a little surprised, a little annoyed, and even a little afraid.
Zhou Shuwei cupped his hands, "Isn't this fellow Daoist Zhuge Mu? I haven't seen him for a while. This one, could it be Zhuge Xuan, the current Patriarch of Zhuge? Hehe, I've admired your name for a long time, and I just met today by fate. It's very fortunate."
Those two monks were exactly Zhuge Mu and Zhuge Xuan.
Both of them are feather fan scarves, Zhuge Xuan's cultivation base is slightly lower, only in the middle stage of the transformation of the gods, Zhuge Mu's face is white and beardless, and he is full of energy, while Zhuge Xuan's face is covered with deep wrinkles, and his eyes don't have much brilliance. He looked like he was dying, showing his old age.
Zhuge Xuan took a look at Zhou Shu, and was suddenly afraid, not daring to answer, but took a few steps back.
"The old man doesn't want to see you."
Zhuge Mu calmed down, and said in a cold voice, "Sect Master Zhou, you are not welcome at our Zhuge family's ceremony, and we have not sent invitations to He Yin. Sect Master Zhou came here uninvited. Leave quickly, don't disturb the ceremony."
"hehe."
Zhou Shu smiled coldly, and didn't give a good face, "I came to sacrifice to Duke Wei. I was invited by Duke Liu Xuande, and it has nothing to do with your Zhuge family. Even if you want me to go, Liu Xuande has to publicly say that Wuzhangyuan has always been The Liu family in Dongsheng Prefecture was never your Zhuge family's territory, you said it sternly, are you planning to take the Liu family by force and make yourself the master?"
Zhuge Mu hesitated slightly, "The Liu family and the Zhuge family have always been like one family. Doesn't Sect Master Zhou know about it? Besides, Liu Xuande will invite you? The old man has never heard of such a thing. Sect Master Zhou should not talk nonsense. "
Zhou Shu waved his hand, "Go and listen to it if you haven't heard it before. I still want to pay my respects to the old site of Duke Wei, so I won't accompany you."
"you……"
Zhuge Mu wanted to say something, but Zhou Shu ignored him and went away.
Zhuge Xuan came over and said in a low voice, "Fourth Elder, he is that Zhou Shu from the Heyin Sect? His cultivation level is very high, and his appearance is also terrifying..."
"Shut up."
Zhuge Mu glared at him impatiently, and reprimanded, "As the patriarch, you are so cowardly in front of outsiders, it's a disgrace to the Zhuge family."
"He is a great cultivator in the Tribulation Realm, and he is also our enemy. How can I not be afraid..." Zhuge Xuan muttered in a low voice, "Besides, the Zhuge family will be gone soon, so we don't care about face."
A gleam of coldness flashed in Zhuge Mu's eyes, "A rotten wood cannot be carved, you are really a waste."
Zhuge Xuan rolled his eyelids and continued to mutter, "I was originally, and I didn't deny it. It would be great if I lived in peace and stability. If it weren't for your idea, I wouldn't be the head of such a family. Let the elder brother and the second elder brother It's all about you..."
"If you talk too much, I'll kill you."
Zhuge Mu turned around and stared at him, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.
Zhuge Xuan quickly covered his mouth, and his body couldn't stand still, shaking in the wind like the dry grass around him.
"Go to the altar and have a look."
Zhuge Mu walked towards the altar in the middle, thinking, "What the hell is Liu Xuande doing? Could it be that he invited him? What is he thinking? Could it be that Zhou Shu knows... But with the elder grandson here, it shouldn't be too late. Something will happen."
Zhou Shu in the distance shook his head slightly.
As he had expected, Zhuge Xuan was indeed a waste, or an incompetent puppet, at the mercy of the elders in the clan, he could do whatever he wanted, and he only knew how to enjoy himself, while his two older brothers, Zhuge Xuan Lian and Zhuge Yan were both talented and ambitious people, but it was a pity that they were killed because of this.
Among the yellow grass all over the ground, stands a tall altar.
The altar has an octagonal shape, which fits the eight formations in the military road. It is magnificent and solemn. In the middle of the altar stands the statue of Zhuge Weigong. The pillars are arranged in the shape of seven stars. The copper pillars are ten feet high, and five people can't hold them together. The pillars are decorated with various patterns, all of which are the great achievements of Zhuge Weigong. The ever-burning lamp was lit, and the light was as steady as a star.
Opposite the altar is an altar with a radius of a thousand feet.
Many seats had already been set up on the stage for the guests to observe and respect. There was also a high stage among them, which was the position of Patriarch Zhuge.
In front of the altar, Liu Xuande was making final preparations, very focused.
Zhuge Mu led Zhuge Xuan, approached slowly, stared at him, and remained silent for a while.
Liu Xuande was slightly puzzled, and raised his hands in salute, "Xuan Gong, Fourth Elder Zhuge, what's the matter here? I'll be fine soon, you two wait another hour, and the ceremony can begin."
Under Zhuge Mu's gaze, Zhuge Xuan stepped forward and said in a calm voice, "Liu Xuande, that Zhou Shu, you invited to participate in the ceremony?"
Liu Xuande smiled and nodded, "So it's about this matter, yes, I invited you here."
"Ah, why did you do that?"
Zhuge Xuan asked very puzzled, "Liu Xuande, don't you know that he is the enemy of our Zhuge family, the great enemy?"
"ah?"
Liu Xuande froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I really don't know. I invited Sect Master Zhou only because the Heyin Sect's status in Dongsheng Prefecture is getting higher and higher, and there are signs of surpassing the great sect. Such a powerful sect , I want to win over her in advance, so as not to lose friendship in the future and cause inconvenience to the Liu family."
"Then you know now?"
Zhuge Xuan waved his hand, and said in disgust, "I don't care what you think, drive him away quickly, I don't want to see him, hurry up."
Looking at Zhuge Xuan, Liu Xuande hated him very much, but he couldn't show it, his face was slightly condensed, "This is not good, now the guests are all here, almost all the sects in Dongsheng Prefecture are here, it is useless to do this." The matter of etiquette is very detrimental to the reputation of our Liu family and the Zhuge family."
"It doesn't matter, just do as I say!"
Zhuge Xuan turned his head away, pretending to be ignorant.
