Special Forces Soldier: I am the Immortal Village Chief!

Chapter 72: Sacrifice ceremony, the village chief takes action!

When Gao Shiwei heard this, he frowned and his expression immediately condensed.

Fucheng, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, is there someone who looks like someone from the village?

Calling himself an old friend of Confucius... On this point, Gao Shiwei combined with what he heard before, and now he is very sure that this person who appeared in Fucheng is really possible, a person from the village! They talk exactly the same!

Thinking of this, Gao Shiwei said solemnly:"Chief Fu, I need to take someone over to have a look and question the people in this village face to face."

Fu Longyu on the other end of the phone said with a firm tone:"Well, go ahead. Rush there as soon as possible, this matter is of great importance, be sure to investigate this matter!"

Gao Shiwei said in a deep voice:"Yes! Pay the chief executive!"

As he spoke, the phone was hung up, and Gao Shiwei stood in front of his desk, his face With a thoughtful look on his face, he walked out of the office

……

Back in the conference room, Gao Shiwei opened the door.

The senior military officials present were stunned. They had not left yet and had been waiting for Gao Shiwei's order.

As soon as they saw Gao Shiwei come in, their expressions were stunned, because the expression on Gao Shiwei's face was very strange.

Gao Shiwei came to the front of the military leaders and said with a strange face:"Get ready to leave now. When Fire Phoenix and Thunder come back, take them with you and set off to Fucheng together!"

All the military leaders present looked confused.

Going to Fucheng? Okay, why go to Fucheng? Although there is no need to worry about Sakura Country’s counterattack now, but going to Fucheng now? What to do?

He Zhijun looked suspicious and asked softly:"Commander Gao, are you going to Fucheng? Has Sakura State taken action?"

Gao Shiwei shook his head and said in surprise:"In Fucheng, a person suspected of being from the village appeared, and none of us have seen it. Of the people in the village, only Huo Fenghuang has seen them, so I want to take them with me!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the senior military officials present suddenly changed.

People from Taoyuan Village? They really want to find someone in the village now, and want to ask whether the series of things that happened in Sakura Country were done by someone in the village.

The relationship between this matter is really great. If it was not done by people in the village, it would be better to say that if it was really done by people in the village, it would be a big shock to Longguo! In fact, the entire high-level staff will be shaken!

Therefore, they immediately understood why Gao Shiwei was so anxious to rush to Fucheng.

For a moment, the high-ranking military officials present nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Gao Shiwei said solemnly:"Go get ready and put on your regular clothes. Remember, when you see this person, no matter whether he is from the village or not, you must be polite. Do you understand?"

"Got it!"The senior military officials present shouted in unison.

Then, they walked out of the conference room and went to prepare for departure.

……

At the same time, in Fucheng.

White cloths are vaguely hung throughout the city. Every time pedestrians pass by the white cloths, they will bow their heads slightly to express condolences.

Today is the death anniversary of Confucius and a day of worship for the Kong family.

As Confucius is a representative figure in Fucheng, and the Kong family is the largest family in Fucheng, the anniversary of Confucius's death will naturally be celebrated with great fanfare.

But these were all done by the descendants of the Kong family in Fucheng.

Hundreds of years ago, in the early Ming Dynasty, some of the descendants of the Kong family moved southward due to disagreements. Subsequently, the descendants of the Kong family in the world were divided into two factions.

The southern sect and the northern sect have always been at odds with each other. The descendants of the Kong family in the northern sect still continue the code of conduct of the"Yuan sage ii Duke" of the past dynasties, ensuring the continuity of the family. Even if they are reviled by the world, it doesn't matter.

The descendants of the Confucius family of the Southern School despised the practices of the Northern School. They continued Confucius' thoughts and Confucianism, and scorned the practices of the Northern School.

But every time today, when Confucius is worshiping, the descendants of the southern sect and the northern sect will temporarily resolve their conflicts and gather in the Confucius Mansion in Fucheng to worship Confucius and comfort his spirit in heaven.

At this time, the gate of Confucius Mansion was crowded with people. Under the crowds of people, looking from a distance, there were only human heads, but no human bodies could be seen.

The gate of the Confucius Mansion is open. Above the gate, there is a golden plaque with two golden characters"Confucius Mansion" written on it. It is very grand. The two stone lions at the door are lifelike. At a glance, you can tell that the carving master is the top in the country.

Different from the past, at this time, a gray-white calligraphy and painting hung above the door, which read

"To commemorate the 271st anniversary of the birth of Confucius.

On both sides, it is written in ancient characters:"Flatter your teachers, be filial to your parents.""

Among them is a portrait of Confucius, which looks like a real person.

On the day of Confucius' worship, everyone can come to worship Confucius, but those who come to worship can only worship in the front hall. , the back hall is not open to the public.

It is the place where the descendants of the Confucius family worship.

At this time, the gate of the Confucius Mansion was surrounded by people, and everyone had a bunch or yellow in their hands. or white chrysanthemums, but most people were wearing ordinary clothes, holding mobile phones, cameras and other things in their hands.

These people came to watch the Confucius sacrifice ceremony.

Walking inside, in the front hall, there is a tall The statue of Confucius stands here with his hands crossed straightly, and the eyes of the statue are looking at the front door of the front hall.

But now, the front hall is blocked by the fence. Outsiders are not allowed to enter to worship. They can only find a good location outside, far away. Looking at the statue of Confucius from a distance. In front of the front door of the front hall, there is a small golden incense burner, with two golden candlesticks placed on the left and right. Three long incense sticks are inserted in the incense burner, and three wisps of green smoke slowly float into the air.

""Deng, Deng, Deng."

At this time, ancient music was playing, and hundreds of sacrificial performers wearing ancient sacrificial costumes, beam crowns, and long feathers in their hands walked to the front door of the front hall and began to perform sacrificial performances.

The sacrificial ceremony of Confucius Mansion has a history of thousands of years, and it has never been interrupted every year. Therefore, the current sacrificial ceremony of Confucius Mansion is more entertainment-oriented. This front hall is just for public performances.

"The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast; the majestic China stands in the east……"

The sound of the grand ceremony's sacrificial inscriptions sounded at the same time, coming from the front hall, and everyone present crowded forward harder, wanting to take a look at this grand scene.

The village chiefs, Qin Mo and Xie, stood at the gate of the front hall, looking at the endless stream of passers-by who came to worship, as well as the performers, with intriguing smiles on their lips.

The passers-by who came to pay homage looked at the man and the dog in front of the gate of Confucius Mansion, especially the ancient costume Qin Mo was wearing. They couldn't help but be attracted and started talking in a low voice.

"Look, look, that man is still wearing ancient clothes. Is he also here to worship Confucius? Isn’t it said that only descendants of Confucius dress like this?"

"Looking at it like this, they must be here to pay homage to Confucius. It’s so cool to wear ancient costumes!"

"Yes, yes, this little brother is dressed in ancient costume. He really looks like a handsome and elegant man from ancient times!"

"I can! I can!

Hearing the discussion, Qin Mo and Xie ignored it. After a moment of silence, Qin Mo turned to look at Xie and said calmly:"Confucius will continue to be popular in his later generations. It is a pity that his descendants will not be able to inherit his legacy. If he is still alive, I don’t know, what do you think?"

Xie looked at Qin Mo thoughtfully.

Then, Qin Mo smiled lightly and said:"Let's go in and talk to Confucius."

As he spoke, he walked towards the Confucius Mansion.

……

At this time, in the back hall of Confucius Mansion, this place is also called the main hall.

The main hall is the place where the sacrificial ceremony is actually held. It is also the place where the descendants of the Kong family really worship. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The Confucius Mansion is a nine-entry courtyard, and the main hall is the innermost place. It is also the place with the best scenery and the largest area in the entire Confucius Mansion.

Rockeries, small lakes, precious trees, precious flowers and plants are all there. At a glance, you feel like you have arrived in a paradise.

A large hall, with an ancient plaque with the words"Teacher of All Times" hanging above the gate. On top, there is also a slightly smaller plaque with the words:"Dacheng Hall"!

The decoration of the main hall is extremely gorgeous, looking like an ancient palace.

Here, there is no hustle and bustle of the front hall, only tranquility.

There were many people standing in such a large place like the apse, and everyone was wearing either ancient clothes or formal attire.

The originally empty grassland and the beautiful apse now seemed a little crowded.

These people are all descendants of Confucius, and most of them are direct descendants of Confucius. The collateral descendants are not qualified to be in this apse at all.

Of course, there are also outsiders here, representatives from all walks of life in Fucheng, as well as guests and friends at home and abroad, as well as the descendants of the northern sect of the Confucius family who have guarded the Confucius family in Fucheng from time to time, the inheritors of the"Yan ii Sheng ii Duke".

At this time, in front of everyone, a statue of Confucius, which was three or four meters high, stood in front of everyone. The statue was lifelike. Although it looked like stone, it always gave people the feeling that Confucius would hit him in the next second. The stones on Shai's body felt as if they were falling in front of everyone.

In front of the statue is a huge bronze tripod, with three thick sticks of incense stuck on it, and green smoke is slowly floating.

Next to the bronze tripod, three people stood. One of the middle ones wore a gold-plated crown and ancient clothes worn by ancient sacrifices. He held something like a copybook in his hand.

He is the master of ceremonies of Confucius's sacrifice ceremony today, Kong Long, and he is also the 78th generation eldest grandson of Confucius.

Behind him, two people were wearing white robes and hair crowns, holding wat tablets in their hands, with extremely serious expressions.

No one present spoke, they all stood upright in front of the statue, with a futon placed in front of them.

At this time, everyone was staring at the statue of Confucius with reverence, and everyone had respect on their faces.

At this time, Kong Long's eyes widened, he looked at the copybook in his hand, and shouted to all the descendants of Confucius present:"The ceremony to worship the ancestor of Confucius begins now!"

""Deng, Deng, Deng."

After finishing the words, ancient music played, and everyone present knelt down and worshiped on the ground, looking very respectful. No matter you are an elite figure from all walks of life or a prominent family, as long as you come to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, you will You must kneel down and worship Saint Kong.

After all, he is the immortal master of all ages! The most important figure in the history of the Dragon Kingdom!

Moreover, those who can come to this main hall to participate in the sacrificial ceremony are all ideological followers of Saint Kong, and, Saint Kong They are still the ancestors, how can they not worship?

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and the sound of ancient music echoed in everyone's ears for a long time, as if they were in ancient times.

At this time, Kong Long saw everyone They all knelt down and nodded, then looked at the copybook in their hands and continued:

"Literary sage, my ancestor, benefactor Haiyu. Eternal giant, eternal immortal master"

"Happy to be in a prosperous age, things are prosperous and the people are prosperous. Hideki on the high bank, afraid of disorder"

"……"

"……"

The sacrificial words came out slowly from Kong Long's mouth, and everyone present was shocked.

At this moment, a figure of a man and a dog appeared behind the crowd.

Qin Mo and Xie walked towards the huge statue in front of Dacheng Hall, with faint smiles on their faces.

"There is a long way to go and we must carry forward the legacy. According to benevolence and wisdom, entertainment according to morality"

"Benevolence is one's duty, and thinking about righteousness when seeing benefits. Neutralization is the ultimate virtue, and going too far is not enough."

The memorial service was still ringing, and the ancient music was also playing at its peak.

At this time, Qin Mo looked at the statue, with a faint smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, and said calmly:"We said goodbye back then, but a thousand years have passed. Now, you My descendants are not as good as you and have done many wrong things."

Qin Mo's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present very clearly.

In an instant, the sound of the memorial service stopped abruptly. Kong Long raised his head in shock and looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes filled with At a loss.

Everyone present also looked at the sound, and everyone had a look of shock on their faces.

Soon, they discovered the appearance of Qin Mo, dressed in ancient clothes, with his hair combed, and a smile on his face. , but his eyes were looking at the statue of Saint Kong where everyone was kneeling and worshiping!

At this moment, the faces of everyone present were even more confused. Who is this person? Why does he appear here? What is going on?

Moreover, they just , I clearly heard what Qin Mo said, a thousand years have passed since we said goodbye that year? Are these words said to the statue of Saint Kong? Moreover, why did this person enter this sacrificial ceremony with no trace of emotion on his face

?

There was no sign of respect, not the courtesy of kneeling down. Could it be that this person was here to cause trouble?

Kong Long's face became even weirder. This person appeared inexplicably. He was reciting the sacrificial inscriptions, which was the most critical moment in the sacrificial ceremony. , no matter who is present, no one can make any noise to interfere.

But this person, as soon as he appeared, interrupted the recitation of the sacrificial inscription? How unbecoming is this!

He directly put down the copybook, raised his finger, pointed at Qin Mo and Xie, and shouted:"What? people!"

Qin Mo stopped, turned his head, looked at Kong Long, and said calmly:"Old friend Zhongni."

This was an understatement, but it was like thunder in everyone's ears.

What? Zhongni, old friend? Zhongni is the name of Saint Kong! That is Saint Kong! This man actually dares to say that he is Saint Kong. Old friend?

Or in front of the statue of Saint Kong, this is simply disrespectful! This is not taking Saint Kong seriously at all! In the eyes of everyone, this is a kind of ridicule! They are mocking Saint Kong!

Kong Long’s face After a sudden change, he shouted angrily:"How dare you say that you are an old friend of Saint Kong?! That is the master of all ages! A hugely influential figure in the history of our Dragon Kingdom! You actually dare to say that you are an old friend of Saint Kong?"

After saying this, everyone present also started to point at Qin Mo, and discussions broke out.

Fucheng Shichang frowned:"Who is this person? How could he be so arrogant? This is the sacrificial ceremony of Saint Kong!"

The deputy director of Fucheng echoed:"Yes! It was disrespectful to interrupt the recitation of the sacrificial rites, and now he dared to call himself an old friend of Saint Kong! This man simply didn’t take Saint Kong seriously! A wealthy overseas businessman said:"

This man looks like he is only in his twenties, how can he be so thick-skinned?" You don’t even blush when you lie! Someone come and drive him away! Such an occasion is so serious, it is really shameful for such a person to appear! Qin

Mo looked at the statue and regarded it as inhumane:"Back then, Zhongni came to my village to find me. He came to the village to talk with me. Unexpectedly, he had an epiphany and then left the village to create Confucianism.""

"Back then, when he left the village, he said that he would carry forward my ideas in the Central Plains and let this idea influence the entire Central Plains! Now it seems that he did it, and I am very pleased."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Mo changed the subject, shook his head and sighed:"On the contrary, these descendants are not even the slightest bit inferior to Zhongni. What they do is even more divorced from the so-called Confucianism. They only seek to protect themselves, even if they endure the suffering of thousands of people in the world. If Zhongni were still alive, he would be deeply saddened and regretful for his infamy. After he finished speaking, he made a sound of" aww" and said:"If Confucius was still alive, he would definitely ask the people in the village to kill all these juniors, and then he would stay alone in the village and never leave the village again in this life.."

Of course, others can't hear Xie's words. In the eyes of everyone, this is Xie cooperating with Qin Mo. As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and Kong Long's face turned red and blue. He was very angry. Weird. Does this man really dare to say this?

Does this mean that you had a conversation with Confucius when he was still alive? Confucianism was created only after talking to him? Why did n't this man say it ? , Confucianism was directly created by him, and Confucius just borrowed it?

Also, the last sentence was even more vicious. The descendants of Confucius were directly scolded by Qin Mo.

Not even the slightest bit inferior to Confucius, if Confucius was still alive , will definitely regret it.

Isn’t this just saying that these descendants are so stupid that they have completely ruined the face of Saint Kong!

Kong Long even heard the meaning of these words, and his face slowly changed Cheng Angry, these words are simply saying that they, the descendants of the Kong family, are worthless! Taking advantage of all the empires that Saint Kong has won for them, they are doing evil!

Although this is the fact, these words cannot be said today! Today belongs to Saint Kong In the sacrificial ceremony, saying this is just punching a hole in the face of the saint!

"How dare you speak rudely here!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with the rank of lieutenant colonel suddenly stood up in the crowd, wearing a military uniform with two bars and two stars on his shoulder straps.

He was the chief of staff of the Southeast Military Region's Special Warfare Brigade. Kong Yi is also the 80th generation direct descendant of Saint Kong, and a descendant of the Northern Kong family.

Seeing Qin Mo and Xie refusing to listen to his teachings, Kong Yi quickly got up from the futon, walked through the crowd, and looked towards Qin Mo with an angry look on his face. Qin Mo walked in the direction of Xie.

As he walked, he shouted angrily:"How dare you, Xiaoxiao, speak arrogantly at this sacrificial ceremony! Seeing that Saint Confucius did not kneel down and worship him, he even said that he was an old friend of Saint Confucius! you dare! On behalf of the descendants of the Kong family, and on behalf of the sage Kong, I want to teach you a lesson for those arrogant young people like you!"

Coming in front of Qin Mo and Xie, he raised his fist and gestured to hit Qin Mo!

Everyone present looked at the scene in front of them in shock, but there were also many people who said nothing in their mouths, but in their hearts I couldn't help but cheer!

Great! Now someone finally takes action to teach this young man who talks arrogantly!

It's just that he doesn't kneel down and worship when he sees the statue of Saint Kong. He speaks rudely and speaks arrogantly! It's disrespectful to Saint Confucius. This is going to be punished by God!

And you say you are old friends with Saint Kong? How is that possible! It

’s impossible for a person to live for such a long time! It’s also impossible to exist for so many years! Saint Kong lived thousands of years ago! In that era, it was impossible for anyone to survive!

Kong Yi clenched his fists with deep anger on his face. Now, he was very angry inside and wanted to punch Qin Mo to death!

He was from the Northern Sect Descendants of the family are also descendants of the"Saint Dukes of Yanii" in the past dynasties. His ancestors have done what Qin Mo said!

At this sacrificial ceremony, Qin Mo said these words, which is tantamount to Drag out the"Sage of Yan II" of the past dynasties and whip the corpse!

As a descendant of the Northern Kong family, he is also the direct grandson, how can he bear this!

Kong Yi raised his fist and pointed straight towards Qin Mo's face was smashed, and his fist roared with strong wind.

At this time, Qin Mo smiled, as if he had not seen the menacing fist, raised his hand, and waved his sleeve towards his side.

Kong Yi's expression changed. , he suddenly felt as if his body had been hit hard. He wanted to close his fist to resist, but it was too late.

The next moment, his body flew straight to the side, not affected by his own power at all. control

"thump!"

With a heavy sound, Kong Yi fell into the crowd, his expression was very painful, covering the position in front of him, and his face was confused.

Everyone present took a breath and looked at Qin Mo in front of them, as if It seemed like they had seen something incredible.

What was going on? Just now, Kong Yi was knocked away by a man in ancient clothes with a wave of his sleeve?

However, they clearly saw that the sleeve did not touch him at all. Kong Yi! What happened?

"What happened just now?……"

"No... I don't know... How could this man just wave his sleeves and knock Kong Yi away?"

"How can it be! Kong Yi is a major general, and his physical fitness is first-rate! How could it be possible to be knocked away with just one sleeve?"

Kong Yi was even more confused. Just now, when he saw Qin Mo waving his sleeves, he suddenly felt an unprecedented force coming straight towards him, and then he flew into the air. , fell straight to the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Mo and Xie continued to walk towards the statue regardless of others.

When they came to the statue, Qin Mo looked at the face on the statue and said with emotion:"Old friend, long time no see.."
