Early the next morning, Chen Fan took Linglong to the old store in advance.
The store door has been opened, with a brand new plaque engraved on the door saying "Benevolence helps the world", and couplets with flying dragons and phoenixes on the left and right.
"I hope that people in the world are not sick, why bother to put medicine on the shelf to produce dust. Cousin, it is rare to see such couplets?" Linglong recited softly and said with emotion.
"Oh, today's hospitals and pharmacies are eager for patients to come to their doors every day. How many people can remember the true intentions of doctors?" Chen Fan chuckled, "People nowadays are too utilitarian. This is a disease.
rule!"
"That's true!" Linglong couldn't help but nod.
"Chen Fan, why don't you come in quickly? Hey, who is this little girl?"
At this time, Chen Fan's mother poked her head out of the door and couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Chen Fan, and then her eyes fell on Linglong.
Although Linglong is only eighteen or nineteen years old, she is tall and slim. Although she has not fully grown up, she is full of beauty. Her face is even more symmetrical and beautiful, and her two big eyes are so smart that they seem to be able to talk.
Chen Fan's mother Ren Jiao fell in love with her at first sight.
"Mom, this is Linglong, um, the cousin I picked up. Linglong, this is my mother, and I'm not even calling her aunt!" Chen Fan smiled awkwardly.
"Cousin you picked it up? Where did you pick it up?" Ren Jiao rolled her eyes at Chen Fan.
"How old are you to be so unreliable? How can a little girl pick it up for you?"
Linglong chuckled and saluted quickly, "Hello, aunt, I was really picked up by my cousin. I was hunted that day, but my cousin saved me. In order to make it easier to get along, we called him that.
Auntie, you don’t mind, right?”
ah……
Ren Jiao was a little dumbfounded, but soon started laughing.
"Your name is Linglong. It's such a nice name. Has Chen Fan bullied you? If so, tell your aunt and I'll fix him!"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, don't make trouble. This is my cousin's fault, and she's not my daughter-in-law. What are you doing?"
"Whatever you do is wet. My cousin is also my sister, and my aunt is also my mother." Ren Jiao glanced at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was speechless. My mother was usually quite generous.
But you look at this little girl like your daughter-in-law, what do you mean?
"Don't worry, aunt, my cousin is very kind to me. I'll tell you when he treats me badly!" Linglong giggled, not forgetting to wink at Chen Fan.
I was still thinking about how to explain it before, but now it’s fine, as soon as my aunt opened her mouth, it was solved!
"Mom, are my dad and the others here?" Chen Fan curled his lips and asked casually.
Ren Jiao's expression suddenly became solemn, "Here, they are all here. Your third grandfather, fifth grandfather, and uncle are all here. Xiaofan, tell me honestly, are you sure?"
Chen Fan naturally knew what his mother was worried about and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mom, don't worry. There are really not many people in this world who can take care of your son and me. Even if there are, if you come to my territory today, you have to take care of me!"
Although Chen Fan's voice was very calm, it inexplicably made Ren Jiao feel at ease.
"That's good, let's go in. There is still some time before the auspicious time. You should also make preparations. The clan members are all watching you!" Ren Jiao adjusted Chen Fan's collar and pretended to be relaxed.
Chen Fan saw it in his eyes and felt warm in his heart.
Although Ren Jiao didn't say much, he also understood what today meant to the people of the old Chen family.
After entering the gate, Chen Fan saw that in the front courtyard, an altar for worshiping heaven had been set up, with an old golden nanmu tablet carved on it that said 'Benevolence helps the world'.
More than twenty members of the Chen family stood on both sides of the altar. Two old men stood in front of the altar, praying for something.
Linglong clicked her tongue, but didn't dare to speak.
"This is the opening ceremony of our Chen family's ancestor worship. It has been twenty years and I haven't seen it before!" Ren Jiao explained in a low voice with a complicated expression.
Linglong nodded, gaining a new understanding of the Chen family.
Only families with a long tradition can have such a solemn ceremony.
"Xiaofan, come on, let's offer some incense first!"
The ones presiding over the sacrifice were the third grandfather Chen Daogeng and the fifth grandfather Chen Daohong. Chen Daogeng saw Chen Fan coming in and immediately waved.
Chen Fan straightened his clothes and immediately stepped forward.
On both sides, the uncles and brothers of the Chen family looked at the young Chen Fan with complicated expressions.
Chen Fan is the younger member of the third generation of the Chen family. He has just grown up, only about twenty-two years old, but he has already taken a step that the Chen family has not dared to take for twenty years.
No matter who he is, he has to admire Chen Fan's courage and ability.
"Third Grandpa, Fifth Grandpa, let me do it!" Chen Fan first put on a stick of incense and said.
Chen Daogeng and Chen Daohong were a little surprised.
However, today's protagonist is originally Chen Fan.
This old store is, in name, already Chen Fan's medical clinic.
Chen Fan took the three long incense sticks from the hands of the third grandfather Chen Daogeng. He glanced at the faces of the surrounding tribesmen and was surprised to see Dao Jiuge, Kui Ye's grandson, Uncle Li, Yao Na and Luo Kong were already standing on the other side.
.
Without time to exchange pleasantries, Chen Fan respectfully bowed three times and then started chanting.
Chen Fan's voice suddenly became slightly aged, and the tone became extremely obscure. The sound was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making people involuntarily immersed in it. However, after a moment, Dao Jiuge suddenly woke up.
"Hiss, is this? Sacrifice sound?"
"Taoist Priest, what is the sound of sacrifice?" Mr. Kui couldn't help but ask.
"The sound of sacrifice is the sound of sacrifice in ancient times. It is said that it was the sound of worshiping heaven during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. Mr. Chen actually understands this. How is this possible?" Dao Jiuge lowered his voice and explained to everyone.
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. How old is it?
Just when everyone was surprised, Chen Fan's voice became more urgent, and three sticks of long-scented green smoke curled into the air, condensing into a mysterious and weird pattern above.
This pattern is like mountains and water, lingering around.
Dao Jiuge was shocked. Although Taoism has the secret technique of appreciating incense, there is no record of such an incense table.
"Medicine originates from witchcraft. Doctors practice benevolence, while shamans practice destiny. Today, I, Chen Fan, offer sacrifices to heaven and inherit the teachings of my ancestors. I am willing to use my benevolence to help the world. I ask my ancestors for their blessings and the blessings of heaven and earth!"
Chen Fan's voice was as loud as a bell, and the gentle breeze in the old shop instantly filled the nostrils with the aroma of medicine, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"This, this, is this the connection between heaven and earth?" Dao Jiuge was confused.
Who is the Taoist priest?
He, a disciple of Tianshi Dao, suddenly couldn't understand Chen Fan's saucy tricks.
Chen Daogeng and other members of the old Chen family were even more shocked.
Chen Fan's sacrifice was originally just a formality, but in the end, what did this guy do?
It seems that the memorial tablets left by our ancestors are somewhat unbearable.
Even Uncle Li, Master Kui and other outsiders were stunned.
We have seen many people offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, but one that is so effective is simply amazing!
