After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Duan family ancestral hall!

This is a magnificent building built on the back mountain of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Palace.

The building is magnificent, majestic and tall.

The entire building is in the style of a quadrangle, divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back.

On one side of the front gate, there is a lying stone the size of an ox or horse, on which are engraved four large gold-plated characters "Duan Family Ancestral Hall" in a flamboyant style.

The large characters seemed to be cast with a knife or an axe, and each stroke was deeply engraved with heaviness and solemnity.

There is also a couplet engraved on the huge columns on both sides of the gate. The first couplet reads: Iron cavalry and golden swords spread their prestige, and their military exploits shook the southern border; the second couplet reads: The family motto is passed down through literary and military tactics, and the family is blessed with endless virtues. The plaque on the top is a door plaque bestowed by the emperor, which just serves as a horizontal banner: Hereditary glory!
On the thick, tall, black wooden door, there are eighty-one neatly arranged golden door nails, like stars, as if telling the story of the family's inheritance and glory over the years.

After entering the gate, you will see a tall and exquisite sacrificial hall. The surroundings are very quiet and the only sounds you can hear are the occasional footsteps and the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests.

The incense table, small bronze tripod and tablets are neatly arranged in the hall, showing a clean and bright luster everywhere, obviously someone cleans and wipes them carefully every day.

There is a spacious wing on the right side of the sacrificial hall. The walls are filled with pale sunlight shining through square wooden windows, flashing a faint light, rich and harmonious.

On the left are rooms connected by a row of patios. The old and heavy green tiles seem to be gazing at the past years. The eaves and eaves, and the window lattices are simple and quaint. Although they have gone through many storms, they still exude an irreplaceable charm.

The last courtyard is an independent back garden, which is very large, with a myriad of rays of sunshine and a strong fragrance. Peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, magnolias, peonies and other flowers are in full bloom, exuding an alluring fragrance, quiet and elegant, like a fairyland.

The heaviness and solemnity emanating from the huge ancestral hall building allows people who step inside to feel a purer respect and reverence in their hearts.

At this moment, the ancestral hall was solemn and dignified.

King Duan Chenglin of Southern Xinjiang led his people into the sacrificial hall. The originally spacious and bright sacrificial hall seemed a bit crowded due to the influx of hundreds of Duan family relatives.

Even in the courtyard outside, some outer gate guards and relatives were standing in an orderly manner, waiting for orders from inside the hall.

The person presiding over the sacrificial ceremony in the main hall was not Duan Chenglin, the King of Southern Xinjiang himself, but an old man with white hair and beard. According to seniority, Duan Chenglin should call the other man "Fifth Grandpa"!

Although the title of King of Southern Xinjiang can be inherited from generation to generation, it can only be passed on to one person.

The remaining descendants did not have this glory, but his immediate family members were still supported by a large family to ensure that he lived a life of luxury.

Of course, the premise is that you have to be alive! And as the son of the Duan family, who is honored as the King of Southern Xinjiang, he disdains this kind of pig-raising life.

Southern Xinjiang is located in a border area with frequent wars. All male descendants of the Duan family need to have military merits to win respect!
Therefore, generally speaking, it is difficult for the male members of the Duan family to live long. They either die in battle, or even if they survive, they will be riddled with injuries. Their bodies will be in a state of high stress all year round due to years of martial arts training, and their various body functions will easily age faster!

"Duan clan members! Kneel!"

With a long tail sound, everyone knelt down.

All the people in the Duan family ancestral hall, even those who do service and support work on weekdays, are members of the Duan clan.

Although in the eyes of many people, how could the relatives of the King of Southern Xinjiang do such things that only servants do, but this is the fact, and this is a lucrative job that many members of the Duan family can only dream of.

There was once a short story about a farmer who made a living by using his hoe. In his eyes, he always believed that the emperor made a living by using his golden hoe!
By the same token, many people think that the King of Southern Xinjiang has great power in Southern Xinjiang and is even a well-known figure in the entire Dajing Dynasty.

His relatives should be living a life of luxury.

But the fact is, the Southern Xinjiang Duan family is too large, and Duan Chenglin has too many relatives. How can they possibly take care of them all and let all of them enjoy a rich life with nothing to worry about?

The most they may get is an extra platform to showcase themselves, but the treatment they deserve in the end still depends on their own achievements!
Doing some simple work within the ancestral hall within one's ability is already a special care provided by the King of Southern Xinjiang to some special groups such as clan members who have lost their ability to work or widows and orphans in the family!
Therefore, with the slogan of "kneeling", no one stood in the "Duan Family Ancestral Hall"!
"Kowtow!"

Duan Chenglin led the crowd to kowtow! They did so in unison, like a well-trained army.

"Two bows!"

It is called a bow, but in fact it is also a kowtow, it is just called that according to the custom.

“Kowtow three times!”

After three kowtows, all the clan members raised their heads.

The old man from the Duan family with white hair and beard supported himself with a tiger-head cane with both hands, stood up tremblingly, then took out a scroll from his wide sleeves, opened it, and began to read in a hoarse voice.

“We pay homage to our ancestors and receive their profound grace. We, their descendants, shed tears of gratitude and remember their virtues, which benefit future generations.

Our ancestors were brave and good at fighting, and their military exploits were outstanding, making them famous all over the world. They made immortal achievements in the midst of war. Their fame spread far and wide, making their descendants feel honored. Today's prosperity is all due to the blessing and virtue of our ancestors.

We, the descendants of this generation, should remember the kindness of our ancestors, inherit their legacy, and carry on the legacy. May the spirits of our ancestors in heaven continue to bless our clan, so that our clan will prosper and our descendants will continue to grow.

Here, we, the descendants, would like to offer a humble sacrifice to thank our ancestors for their blessings. May our ancestors, who are still in heaven, accept our respect and enjoy eternal peace. We will also abide by the family motto and pass on the family tradition to repay the kindness of our ancestors in the event of an emergency.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and hope you will enjoy it. "

Every time the elder of the Duan family read a sentence, all the members of the Duan clan followed suit. The sounds could be heard inside and outside the hall, on the top of the mountain, and even in the entire Southern Xinjiang Palace. The walls were like huge echo walls, continuously prolonging the chanting sounds that took a long time to disappear.

When the sound completely faded away, the old man nodded slightly at Duan Chenglin who was kneeling in the middle.

Duan Chenglin also nodded slightly, and then led the crowd to kowtow three times again, then raised his head and chest and recited aloud: "The twelfth generation descendant Duan Chenglin, respectfully informs the spirit of the ancestor of the Duan family,

Chenglin fell on the battlefield and unfortunately contracted miasma and became bedridden! Fortunately, his ancestor's friend, Lord Yushan, blessed him with a magical medicine, which cured his illness and brought him peace of mind and body.

I am grateful for the kindness of Mr. Shan, and I have prepared incense, candles and fruits to show my respect. I hope that the spirits of our ancestors in heaven will share the incense of the Duan family with Mr. Shan, and bless our descendants, so that they will have long-lasting blessings and health for generations. I respectfully inform you of this, and I hope you will enjoy it. "

After saying that, Duan Chenglin stood up, took the lead and walked to the incense burner, picked up the incense and lit it on the candle beside it, and then inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner in front of him.

Then, the descendants of Duan family stood up one by one, burned incense and kowtowed!
It was extremely solemn and dignified, and no outsider could enter here, let alone want to see the scenery here. Of course, there were exceptions to everything.

The exception this time is Xu Boan!
Xu Boan looked at the shocking scene in the new bubble with a look of astonishment.

Good guy!
Although he could not enter the scene displayed in this bubble, he could see the situation inside the hall and hear the sounds inside through the bubble.

Of course, Xu Bo'an came to the mountain temple to find out the reason after accepting the power of incense and feeling the call.

Therefore, the scene he saw was also the scene after burning incense.

Therefore, Xu Bo'an had never heard either the sacrificial speech by the elder of the Duan family or Duan Chenglin's words of gratitude to the mountain god.

However, Xu Bo'an happened to see the grand scene of hundreds of Duan family descendants burning incense in an orderly manner.

What does a team of 800 people mean? Many people have never seen it.

Even if you have seen it, the most likely scene was when you were a student skipping classes and looking out the window at your classmates lining up to do radio gymnastics on campus.

However, the formation of the lazy teenagers in their school days is different from the aura exuded by these children from strict families.

At least Xu Bo'an had never seen such a magnificent scene.

It’s probably like watching a live video broadcast of a military parade on a mobile phone screen, which is shocking and heart-pounding.

However, Xu Boan had no idea what had happened in the hall before, so he had no idea where this place was.
I don’t even know who these people are!

Xu Boan was a little puzzled. He didn't even know why this bubble appeared in the mountain temple that he couldn't teleport into. He also couldn't figure out where his more than fifty strands of incense and vows came from!
Xu Boan carefully looked at the situation inside the bubble. Suddenly, the rows of memorial tablets caught his attention.

Looking at the names on the memorial plaques, most of which started with the character "Duan", Xu Boan suddenly thought of something.

Is this Duan Xiaoshan’s family?

If that's the case, these people seem to be the descendants of the King of Southern Xinjiang Duan family mentioned by Duan Xiaoshan!
In this way, some of the problems that have puzzled Xu Bo'an could be solved.

Duan Xiaoshan is a person who can summon the mountain god just by speaking. If these people are really members of the Duan family, they naturally have this ability.

In all likelihood, they activated some kind of medium, which allowed them to establish such a connection with the Duan family in this way.

However, since this place does not belong to the mountain god temple, but only the ancestral hall of the Duan family, I can only watch but cannot personally visit and show my divine power!
If you think in this way, it makes sense.

Xu Boan observed the bubbles for a while, and seeing that there was nothing interesting anymore, he decided not to waste time on it and automatically withdrew.

It was noon and Xu Bo'an had the habit of taking a nap.

After waking up from a good sleep, I took a walk around the company, held a special company meeting, and supervised the tunnel accident report. The afternoon had passed.

Seeing that dinner time was approaching, Xu Bo'an thought about the dinner he had agreed to with Liu Yan, so he drove to the dinner.

When he arrived at the place called "Jinglian Yaju", Xu Bo'an found that there were very few people there.

Seeing this situation, Xu Bo'an immediately frowned, thinking to himself, it's already time for dinner, but this place is still deserted and empty, business must be really bad!

In this case, the food in this place is most likely not very delicious. In this case, it seems that I have chosen the wrong place.

But when the time came, I had already agreed on the time and place with Liu Yan, and my people were already here, so now I had no choice but to go in.

At worst, I can just pay the bill earlier so that Liu Yan doesn't have to spend this money in vain.

By then, I can make excuses like "The food in this restaurant is not good. I don't know why my friend recommended it." and the matter will be over.

Xu Bo'an walked into the door with a smile, only to find that there was not even a receptionist in this place.

When I walked in, there wasn't even a waiter to greet me. Logically speaking, a store with such decoration shouldn't have no waiter at all.

Xu Boan was just curious when he heard the sound of high-heeled footsteps behind him.

When I turned around, I found it was Liu Yan.

"Oh? You're here." Xu Bo'an greeted and walked towards Liu Yan with a smile.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "After all, we are close. Senior, don't rush in. Let's eat on the second floor."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay, since you have made the arrangements, I will follow your instructions. But this restaurant is really strange. There is not even a waiter to be seen."

Liu Yan smiled and said without feeling strange: "How can I not see it? It is far away in the sky and yet it is right in front of me!"

Looking at Liu Yan in front of him, Xu Boan said in astonishment: "Ah! What do you mean!"

"I'm just a waiter." Liu Yan continued with a smile.

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Xu Bo'an's mind worked rapidly. What did this mean?
Are you a waiter? Role playing? Cosplay!
Playing uniforms to seduce that?
But this is too unscientific. The uniform control games that other people play are all about flight attendants, doctors, white-collar workers and other industries. You and I are playing a uniform control game about hotel waiters, which seems a bit boring!
Especially since we, Lao Xu, just saw the courtesan Chen Shishi cosplaying in Spider-Man costume in the Bonsai World, your level is far behind!
And if you wear something like the waiters' uniforms in Holiland cake shop, or the cheongsam-style work clothes that show off your figure in some specialty restaurants, it would be acceptable.

But at the moment, Liu Yan was just wearing an ordinary apron. Although she was naturally beautiful and had a good figure, it seemed a bit too unsatisfactory to dress like this to entertain guests.

Even Xu Boan felt that she was not only a waiter, but also a chef.

This... isn't it a bit too casual for you to use this method to test our Lao Xu?
Seriously! Which man can't stand such a test? (End of this chapter)
