Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Every autumn rain brings a chill.

Under the cold raindrops, the once lush greenery gradually turned yellow, and the summer heat of midsummer vanished without a trace.

However, it was also in the autumn rain that the light yellow osmanthus flowers slowly bloomed, exuding a refreshing fragrance that spread for miles in the wind and rain, delighting those who smelled it.

Dingxiang Town, as an insignificant small town on the Qian Yuan Continent, did not have much fame.

However, Dingxiang Town in autumn was well-known within a radius of a thousand miles.

It turned out that every household in Dingxiang Town planted osmanthus trees. Although there was nothing special in other seasons, it was different in autumn.

After an autumn rain, thousands of osmanthus flowers bloomed overnight, and the refreshing fragrance spread, making Dingxiang Town a veritable 'fragrant' town.

Literati loved poetry and the fragrance of flowers, so they stepped into the autumn and came to Dingxiang Town one after another, while playing, while trying to find words, so use the most beautiful poems to praise the osmanthus fragrance.

Therefore, although the autumn was cold, Dingxiang Town was very lively.

The big family in Dingxiang Town was surnamed Wang. It can be said that the Wang family monopolized everything in Dingxiang Town, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. People's daily life was inseparable from the Wang family's industry.

Logically speaking, such a big family is often arrogant and oppresses the people. However, this Wang family is different. Not only did they not oppress the people, but they were also happy to do good deeds. The town's ponds, stone roads, and even private schools were all built by the Wang family.

Moreover, the original Dingxiang Town was just a small town with a radius of no more than ten miles, but under the Wang family's business for more than a hundred years, Dingxiang Town gradually prospered, and its final territory reached seventy miles, becoming a well-known town far and near.

Doors are not closed at night, and lost items are not picked up. Dingxiang Town has become a beautiful place like a paradise.

Therefore, the residents of Dingxiang Town admire the Wang family from the bottom of their hearts, and no one dares to say a bad word about the Wang family in Dingxiang Town.

The Wang family's mansion is located in the center of the newly expanded Dingxiang Town, with high walls and beautiful houses, waterside pavilions and winding corridors, and a magnificent momentum.

Today is the Wang family's annual ancestor worship ceremony. Every Wang family member, no matter how far apart, will rush back on this day to worship together in the ancestral hall to show their remembrance of their ancestors.

After nearly a hundred years of reproduction, the Wang family has a large population and many talents. There are more than two hundred people in each branch.

On this day, these two hundred people came to the Wang family's ancestral hall together to hold the most solemn祭祀ceremony.

The Wang family's sacrifice has a set of extremely strict rules and regulations, which are divided into nine rounds. Each round corresponds to nine different auspicious times, and sacrifices such as cattle, sheep, and pigs are offered separately.

After all nine rounds of sacrifices are completed, the Wang family members on the outermost layer will retreat first, and the direct line will enter the ancestral hall to hold the final round of ancestral sacrifice.

In addition to having a huge influence in Dingxiang Town, the Wang family also has a certain foundation in other fields.

For example, Wang Zongyuan, the second master of the Wang family, was intelligent and knowledgeable since he was a child. He participated in the imperial examination ten years ago and was awarded the Tanhua, and since then embarked on an official career. He is now the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Another example is Wang Zongwu, the third master of the Wang family, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and is naturally generous. He has made many friends in the Jianghu and opened a镖局, and his business has spread all over the country.

It is precisely because of the efforts of so many Wang family branches that the Wang family's foundation has not declined for hundreds of years, but has become more and more prosperous.

At this time, led by Wang Zonghan, the head of the Wang family, Wang Zongyuan, Wang Zongwu, and a large group of direct descendants slowly walked towards the ancestral hall to conduct the final round of worship.

"Brother, the current situation is unstable and the world is turbulent. Although I am an official, I also feel it is difficult to move forward. Therefore, in this time of changing winds, you must act properly and not ruin our Wang family's century-old foundation." On the way to the ancestral hall, Wang Zongyuan seemed to think of something and exhorted Wang Zonghan, who was the head of the family.

"What the second brother said is very true. Although I am in a remote area, I also feel the fluctuations in the situation. Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Wang family." Although Wang Zonghan was over sixty years old and the head of the Wang family, he did not have any airs at all, but rather looked like a kind old grandfather.

"Hey, brother, although I am not as knowledgeable as the second brother, and I don't understand this bullshit situation, as long as our Wang family encounters difficulties, you say a word, no matter how far away, I will rush back to rescue! Damn it, if anyone dares to attack our Wang family, I, Wang Zongwu, will definitely make him go back!" This Wang Zongwu looked like a reckless man. At this time, his face was flushed, his eyes were glaring, and he looked like a fierce god.

After seeing Wang Zongwu's expression, Wang Zonghan and Wang Zongyuan looked at each other, and then laughed together. Although the younger generations behind the three of them also wanted to laugh, they could only try their best to hold back due to their seniority.

The Wang family seemed peaceful.

After laughing for a while, Wang Zonghan stopped, turned his head and made a long bow to Wang Zongyuan and Wang Zongwu, and said with emotion: "With the strong support of the second and third brothers, what difficulties can my Wang family not overcome? Please accept a bow from your foolish brother!"

Seeing Wang Zonghan like this, Wang Zongyuan and Wang Zongwu were immediately taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Then the three brothers walked hand in hand towards the Wang family ancestral hall.

The Wang family ancestral hall, as the place where the Wang family's ancestors were placed, was also built magnificently, with blue bricks and red tiles, and decorated with gorgeous murals, which made the Wang family ancestral hall more magnificent in addition to being solemn.

The gate of the ancestral hall is two huge vermilion wooden doors, weighing more than a thousand pounds, and it takes ten people to open them together, so unless it is a major festival, the Wang family ancestral hall will not be opened easily.

On this day, because it was the Wang family's annual grand sacrifice, ten burly men had been waiting in front of the ancestral hall gate. Seeing Wang Zonghan and others coming, they immediately turned around and pushed open the two thousand-pound gates with force.

Along with a loud "creak", the gate of the Wang family ancestral hall finally opened, and Wang Zonghan led the Wang family's direct descendants and walked in with solemn expressions.

However, at the moment they just walked into the ancestral hall, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. I saw in the ancestral hall, a young man in white, and a beautiful woman in a water-green embroidered skirt, were looking at the ancestral tablets of the Wang family ancestors placed on the offering table.

After recovering from the initial shock, Wang Zonghan's expression changed drastically, and he asked suspiciously: "Who are you? How did you appear in my Wang family ancestral hall?"

Hearing this, the man and the girl slowly turned around, it was Chen Tian and Su Yingxue!
