Chapter 507 Qingyuan Hu Family
A red lantern will have red incense, green incense and white incense. The disciples will judge it from this, and the worship will also be judged from this.
Because the belts tied around the waist are different, they are both called white waist, green waist, red waist.
Di Guashao came over from the Tsing Yi Gang midway. She did not receive any actual salary, but was only rewarded with the position of a worshipper. However, her worship was not personally cultivated by the Red Lantern Society, so it was just a small white-waisted worshiper.
Of course, unlike disciples, shopkeepers, etc., these people who joined the guild to earn a living are mostly white-waisted worshippers. Their status in the guild is not high, but it does not mean that they have little ability.
Moreover, now we are not in Shima Town, but back to Mingzhou Mansion. This is the territory of the Red Lantern Lady. Even the disciples in the guild, no figure in the world dares to provoke her, let alone a worshiper who obviously possesses special powers?
Under normal circumstances, once the name is announced, the other party will be busy building friendship. A white-waisted little worshiper can still scare people.
"Red light party?"
Unexpectedly, the person under the green banner saw the kid under the sweet potato burning hand, said obscene words and scolded him fiercely. When the sweet potato was burned, he applied for a position of white-waisted little worshiper, but only his face showed A touch of sarcasm: "During the day, you can drive away ghosts, but the red light will be very crazy!"
It was just early morning now, the mist had not yet dispersed, and the sun had not yet come out, but the rooster had indeed crowed.
The flax was harvested just after dawn, while the sweet potato was greedy for traveling, and until now, the little devil had not been sent away.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he accused him of burning sweet potatoes. His words were harsh, condescending, and a bit rude. From a vague glance, he seemed to have some official style.
After hearing this, Di Gua Shao glared: "Yo? You're not saying that in a small way, you're causing trouble for me, aren't you?"
As soon as she scolded her, the kid carrying the sedan next to her started scolding her even more.
The believers under the green flag didn't say much, they just pulled out a colorful flag from their sleeves, stepped forward indifferently, looked at it without saying a word, and then started to take action.
Although Digua Shao didn't know what the other party was doing, he didn't show any fear. He also grabbed a handful of paper money in his hand and was about to show off. Of course, his eyes were wandering around, looking for the location of Hu Ma and looking at him. Not far away.
"Stop on both sides. Don't make any noise, let alone take action, so as not to scare the neighbors who come out to farm..."
Just as the two sides were at war with each other, they heard a series of shouts from the side, and saw a sedan emerging from the withered grass nest.
The sedan was carried by two sturdy yellow leather men at the front and back, but sitting on top of the sedan was a skinny old lady, holding a pipe in her hand. She looked like she had just come back from drinking, and the sedan was swaying as she walked. She also walked and swayed.
When he got there, he knocked on his pipe and said, "You guys usually hang around and I don't care. Why are you so arrogant today and are you going to hurt people so early in the morning?"
"Be careful. Grandma Qigu usually lets you go, but when she makes me angry, you can't bear the soles of these shoes!"
"..."
The person under the green flag sneered when he saw the old lady coming. He knew that her status was not easy to deal with, but he was unwilling to say soft words in front of her. He slowly put the flag back into his sleeves and snorted coldly. With a cry, he took people away.
Even Sweet Potato Shao was surprised. He muttered and looked towards the old lady.
"Hey, this little lady is pretty..."
Grandma Qi Gu sat in a sedan chair and came to the sweet potato burning body. She looked her over and looked at her with a hint of drunkenness in her eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "The group of people just now were very arrogant. They came here every day to find trouble. They even took advantage of the darkness. Measuring the fields..."
"Grandma Qi Gu is also familiar with your red lantern club, so I came here to advise you, little lady, that they have strong soldiers and horses, and the big shots in your red lantern club are hiding away, so don't mess with them!"
"..."
As he spoke, he staggered across the official road and got into the dead grass on the other side.
Instead, the sweet potato was left standing in a daze: "It's only been a few days, why can't we in the Red Lantern Club get crazy?"
"If I can't walk sideways here, what will I do if I enter a red light?"
"..."
While thinking about it, he wanted to go to Hu Ma to discuss it, but when he looked up, he saw that the road ahead was clean and Hu Ma had disappeared.
"It seems like the person who came here is really evil this time..."
But when Hu Ma saw how arrogant and arrogant the man wearing the green lotus banner was, he realized that what was going on in Mingzhou today was not that simple.
I was originally considering whether to go into Zhuangzi to see how Li Wazi and the others were doing, but now I just saved the trouble and turned around to go to Laoyin Mountain. After entering the mountain, I burned three sticks of incense.
"Respectfully invite the tiger to come..."
"..."
Before he finished his sentence, he could see a fragrant breeze blowing in the mountain, and he felt his body floating.
He recognized the wind, so he did not resist and allowed it to sweep him over. However, his body swayed, the sky and the earth spun, and his mind became confused for a while. However, soon, he smelled the aroma of wine and meat coming to his nostrils, and heard the sound in his ears. Some people were chatting and laughing happily.
Opening his eyes, he found that he had arrived in a village. There were three or five wooden tables in front of him. Someone was changing cups and cups on the table, but he was sitting next to an incense table.
Looking back, I saw the tiger sitting upright behind the incense table with three glasses of plain wine in front of him.
"Are you eating noodles again?"
Hu Ma looked around and saw that the banquet seemed to be a child's full moon banquet. There was a farmer couple holding a child for the guests to see. There were also three red eggs in the offerings on the table for Shan Jun.
Of course, they were just paying respects and didn't know that Shan Jun was really here. They sat behind the table and didn't know that there was another Hu Ma here.
But Hu Ma was curious. He knew that Shan Jun loved to be lively and would go wherever there was offering, but...
... He was also eating at the child's full moon banquet?
"They specially set up the table for me, and I have nothing to do. What if I don't come to enjoy it?"
Shan Jun guessed what Hu Ma was thinking and answered lightly. While speaking, he glanced at him and nodded slowly: "Your skills have improved a lot this time. You finally have the demeanor of a child of the ten surnames!"
"Ah?"
Hu Ma was surprised when he heard it.
What does it mean to have a little demeanor?
This time, within just a month, I have entered the mansion, pushed two doors, cultivated the Great Power General Seal, forged the Punishing Official Fierce Knife, and broke through the three pillars of Taoism...
...This is more than just a little progress, it is a complete change.
I am completely different from myself before going to the blood-eating mine. It is not an exaggeration for you to say that I have been reborn. How can I be so calm?
"The fortune of the Hu family is all on you. With this progress, it is not just what I should do?"
The mountain king enjoyed the vegetarian wine offered by the human world in the mountains, glanced at Hu Ma lightly, and said: "On the contrary, if you don't even have this little progress, I should be worried about you when I asked you to come back this time. I don't know if you can bear it!"
"Yes."
Hearing what the mountain king said, Hu Ma also became serious.
Thinking about the time when he was disturbed by the banner, and thinking about the strange man he saw at the foot of the mountain, he looked solemn:
"The senior asked me to come back and said that there were uninvited guests at home. You mean..."
"..."
"Of course it's the Hu family."
Shan Jun said lightly: "They followed the people of the Truth Church to Mingzhou City. Needless to say, they came to find you. You have felt a little uncomfortable these days, right?"
"Yes."
Hu Ma answered in a low voice, but his face was difficult, but he couldn't hide it: "Hu family, how come there are still people? Didn't they die and only I am left?"
This is something he has been curious about since he heard the news from the second son of the Meng family.
Shan Jun said: "The ten surnames are all big surnames. Since the birth of Tai Sui, they have gained the luck of the world, multiplied their descendants, and have many clansmen. The ancestral temple of one clan is comparable to the sum of the fire pits in other states and counties. How could such a vast and huge clan be left with only you?"
Hearing this, Hu Ma was already feeling strange.
He had thought about this question before. The ten surnames were so respectable and wealthy.
The Tongyin Meng family, even a son of a fifth-degree-older relative, could be bossy and powerful when he arrived in Mingzhou Prefecture. Why did the Hu family, who had such ability and was the ancestor of ghosts, end up with only him as the only child left?
But all along, everyone he met told him that he was the only one left in the Zhensui Hu family...
... How could this be discussed inside and outside?
"But..."
Just when he was full of doubts, Shanjun sighed and said, "You are the only one left in the Zhensui Hu family."
"The Hu of others with the surname Hu is no longer the same as yours."
"Even though they are not far from you in terms of blood relationship, they can even be listed as cousins."
"..."
Hu Ma was shocked for a moment: "Why?"
"We split up and lived separately."
Shanjun turned his head and looked at Hu Ma, and slowly said: "And it is a complete split, even the ancestors are offered separately."
"So, only your family is the Zhensui Hu family, and you are the only one left in the Zhensui Hu family."
"..."
"Split up?"
Hu Ma listened to this, and his heart suddenly became more bizarre.
In the rural villages, splitting up is very common. A family has several laborers. When they grow up and start a family, they have to live separately. This is how brothers should settle accounts clearly.
But this kind of family division is often the most common among small families. Many large families, even adults, only live in different courtyards, but they still have to honor the elderly together. What's more, they all have the same ancestor, so they naturally have to worship together.
Now, the Hu family has split up so thoroughly that even the matter of offering sacrifices to the ancestors has been separated?
What's even more bizarre is that the Zhensui Hu family is the largest branch of the ten surnames, so why did it split up?
I have seen a family split up, but I have never seen the branch that is the pillar of the family split up...
"They didn't want to take that responsibility at the beginning, so they didn't receive the order in front of the Zhensui Mansion, so, theoretically speaking, they no longer belong to the Zhensui Hu family..."
Shanjun also understood his doubts and sighed: "But it is true that, like you, they are all from the Qingyuan Hu family..."
