On the seventh day, the gate of the Fengxian Hall was opened, and the horn made from the horns of wild beasts and oxen blew a majestic sound. As the candle flames flickered, there seemed to be a brilliance flowing on the spiritual tablets of the ancestors.
Incense smoke curled up from the small bronze cauldron, and spiritual fruits and spiritual beasts were listed on the incense table. Yang Chengbo, the current master of the ceremony hall, stood at the top, holding a jade silk, exhaling and saying: "
Yang Chengzhao, the second generation patriarch;
First break through the martial realm, the tall green tree gate;
The second breaks the Qing Qi, and the bluestone becomes a noble family;
Inherit the lineage and inherit the industry, and shine the lintel;
Nowadays, when temples are set up to offer sacrifices, those with high merit are called "Gao" and the temple names are "Gaozu".
"Loyalty is called virtue when it is true, and kindness when it is transformed is called virtue."
"The beauty and the far-reaching are called virtue, and the broadness and purity are called virtue."
The posthumous title is "De" and the honorific title is "Cheng", collectively known as "Great Ancestor Yang Decheng!"
"Great Ancestor Decheng!"
All the tribesmen prostrated and shouted in unison. It had been more than a hundred years since Taizu Jingzhao was conferred a posthumous title. Many tribesmen had only heard how grand the scene was when conferring a posthumous title in a temple for their ancestor.
With the current power of the Yang family, after experiencing it personally, I know that it is more shocking than what is recorded in the family history.
The real people from various factions in Yuzhou who came to pay homage had their eyes opened this time. All the sects in Yuzhou paid tribute together, established a temple and established a posthumous title, which was recorded in the family history. The name was passed down for thousands of years. Who could not admire this honor after death?
The various sects in Yuzhou have already experienced the power of the imperial examination and conferment of officials system, and the division of sects and favor systems. The establishment of posthumous titles in fixed temples seems to be even better.
It’s no wonder that the Yang family has a pure family tradition, and its people abide by etiquette and know the law. Not to mention the threat of the punishment hall, even the establishment of a temple and a posthumous title is a great constraint. No one wants to receive a bad posthumous title after death.
Among them, the most excited person is Yang Qi from the Confucian tribe. He is an orthodox Confucian man. Although his cultivation is insufficient, he can still feel that the posthumous title No. 4 in the temple seems to contain huge literary and moral values.
Power.
It's just that the literary skills in this world are not obvious, and this kind of literary power has not been inspired. However, he just participated in this sacrifice, and his literary courage seems to be about to break through the realm in front of him.
When everyone at the scene was thinking about something, Yang Chengzhao used his spiritual power as a pen and wrote "Yang Shi Chengzhao" in seal script on the left and "Decheng Gaozu" on the right.
At the same time, in the Yinming Realm, a ray of white spiritual light shot out and landed directly on the spiritual tablet.
Next, everyone knelt down and offered incense again. The strong incense and wish power surged toward the spirit tablet, and then passed through the white light on the spirit tablet and directly reached the soul body of Yang Chengzhao in the Yinming Realm. Yang Mingzhen was originally a perfect martial artist.
Yang Boqiao's soul body was much stronger than before.
At this time, under the protection of the Yinming Realm, the soul body directly possessed the spirit tablet, actively absorbing the incense and wish power in it, and looked at the descendants in front of him with a smile on his face.
The sound of chanting sutras began to spread from Fengxian Hall and Xishan Mountain. At the same time, the people in the seven counties under Yang's family bowed down at the same time and immediately recited.
The sound of the chanting was louder than a hundred years ago, as if the sound of chanting could be heard throughout Yuzhou, and the clouds and mist drifting across the entire Western Mountains gave off an even more celestial atmosphere.
After everyone finished offering sacrifices to Emperor Decheng, Yang Chengbo took a deep breath and spoke again: "
The second generation Minglei, the third generation Auxiliary Wing;
Respect the ancestors above, and the descendants below;
Now a temple is built to offer sacrifices, and the temple is named "Xizong".
"Good deeds that are not neglectful are called Dun; gentleness, benevolence and loyalty are called Dun;"
"Being close and harmonious to one's family is called Dun; cultivating pure virtue is called Dun;"
The posthumous title is "Dun" and the honorific title is "Chun", collectively known as "Dun Chunxi Zong!"
"Dun Chun Xi Zong!"
All the tribesmen shouted again, paying the highest respect to Yang Minglei, the second-generation ancestor.
In Yang Hongyuan's spiritual eyes, Yang Minglei's spirit also descended on the throne, enjoying the incense.
Just when everyone thought it was about to end, Yang Chengbo took out a piece of silk again and read:
"The Sun family is Heng Yan, the Yang family is Zun Gong;
Zuo Bi III, worked hard;
Dedicate yourself to work and be virtuous;
It is truly a model for all generations, and together it deserves to be enjoyed in the Ancestral Temple!"
As soon as Yang Chengbo said this, the whole Xishan Mountain was in a sensation. You must know that the Yang family has been passed down for nearly 800 years, and there are less than twenty people who are qualified to appoint a temple and establish a posthumous title.
It is a great honor for a clan member with a foreign surname, Sun Hengyan, to be able to enjoy the Yang family's incense and sacrifices.
The real people from all the Yuzhou sects present were also shocked. The Yang family in Xishan originally bought the horse bones for a thousand gold.
It was precisely because of the example of the Sun family that many casual cultivators followed. The Yang family's reputation today began when the Sun family merged into the Yang family.
In the past two hundred years, the Sun family has been completely integrated into the Yang family, and the two Yang families left behind by the Sun family are also quite prominent.
Among other things, his grandson Yang Hongyao is not only a real-life monk, but also a master of alchemy.
If it had not been merged into the Yang family at the beginning, I wonder if it has become a famous family now. How would the future generations have their current future, and how could they have such a posthumous reputation?
The Yang family, hey, this move is clearly shaking the hearts of many real people and casual cultivators. When this matter spreads, the Yang family's attraction to many casual cultivators will surely become even greater.
Not to mention these casual cultivators, even the real people from various sects in Yuzhou had the urge to join the Yang family in an instant, so that they could enjoy the Ancestral Temple and the incense and sacrifices for eternity.
What's more, since he is the first clan member with a foreign surname to enjoy the Ancestral Temple, how can the Yang family be so ordinary? As expected, Yang Chengbo continued to recite: "
Respecting the virtuous and letting the good be done is called Gong, and being able to change the past is called Gong;
The eldest brother who loves the people is called Gong, and the eldest brother who loves the people is called Gong;
The posthumous title is "Gong" and the honorific title is "An", collectively known as "Tai Gong Gong'an!"
"Grandpa Gong'an!"
Sun Wujian cried and laughed when he heard this, but only recovered after being comforted by his children and grandchildren. Then he took Yang Huaiqian and Yang Hongyao to place his father's spiritual tablet in the west side hall.
After everyone calmed down again, Yang Chengzhao slowly stepped forward, took Yang Chengbo's place, opened a jade silk letter, and continued to chant: "
Yang's generation, nine great masters;
After being granted the title of Grand Duke, he deserves to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple:"
Yang Chengzhao's move was an obvious act of kindness. The nine great masters honored by one generation can be said to be the ancestors of the Yang family present.
Because of the system of direct descent, subordination, and imperial examination, it was somewhat of a shock to the Yang clan.
This move now is to appease the many members of the Yang family, and at the same time to maintain the blood and family ties of the Yang family.
The effect was also obvious. Everyone in the Yang clan knelt down to express their gratitude. At the same time, the nine descendants of the Taigong, headed by Yang Huaichen, each sent their ancestors' spiritual tablets to the East Side Hall.
In this way, everyone also understands the purpose of the east and west auxiliary halls of Feng'an Palace. The east auxiliary hall is used to worship the meritorious Yang family members, and the west auxiliary hall is used to worship meritorious people of different surnames.
This move made the entire Yang family excited. After all, with the current situation of the Yang family, it would be difficult to establish a temple and determine the posthumous title.
Many clan members also know that based on their merits, they are not qualified to enshrine their ancestors and enter the Fengxian Hall. However, if they can enter the side hall and enjoy the Ancestral Temple, the threshold is much lower. How can the many clan members of the Yang family not be inspired by this.
Many of the Yuzhou cultivators present were also shocked when they saw the Yang family establishing a temple and setting a posthumous title. Who wouldn't want to be worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple and leave a name behind him?
