Chapter 22 Grand Return
Chapter 22: A grand return
Above the main peak of Hengshan, there are lights and colorful decorations, a festive atmosphere with a strong joyful atmosphere.
Main Peak Square is the largest platform in Hengshan. When the first generation of ancestors was built, they could only accommodate more than a thousand people. However, after three thousand years of continuous expansion and repair, the current Main Peak Platform is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
At this time, every person who came to the main peak had a strange light on their faces.
Regardless of whether their inner world is happy or not, what is reflected in their faces is indeed a feeling of joy.
Today is the grandest celebration party in the Hengshan lineage in decades. Since Elder Yu Xichen set foot in the innate world sixty years ago, it has been so lively for a whole year.
After seeing this scene, the old people who had attended a party of sixty years ago were all sighing, pointing at their younger generations, nagging about their past experiences.
Most young people were ready to move, and their eyes turned to the entrance of the Main Peak Square from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
There are countless peaks around the Hengshan vein, but there are only six peaks that are really important. In addition to the main peak and Lingyao Peak, there are Fenghuo Peak, Lingyu Peak, Thumb Peak, and Guangsha Peak.
Over the past three thousand years, countless innate powerhouses have appeared in these six peaks, becoming the core pillars of the Hengshan lineage. Of course, many innate powerhouses have also appeared on the other small peaks, but unfortunately, the innate powerhouses on the small peaks are like a flash in the pan, and basically no continuous situation has occurred. Therefore, after the innate powerhouses on the small peaks die, their disciples and descendants will basically return to these six major peaks, waiting for a new round of rise.
Now, there are more than 2,000 people in Hengshan. After living in such a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers for a long time, their martial arts practice is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people outside. Among the acquired strong people, there are dozens of people who have reached the tenth level of internal strength.
However, in this Jiazi, there are no new generation of strong men who have been promoted to the innate through their own efforts.
This is a common pain in the hearts of everyone in Hengshan, but on this day, everyone knew that He Wude, the abandoned disciple of Hengshan, not only found two innate inner elixirs, but also introduced his grandson He Yiming, the young and excessive innate strong man, under the wall of Hengshan Gate.
This is undoubtedly an effective heart-strengthening needle for all the children of Hengshan. At this moment, as long as the disciples who can arrive have already arrived on the Main Peak Square.
Except for the necessary left-behind personnel at each peak, as well as some elderly, weak, women and children who really cannot come, no one has been absent.
"Master, is Elder He really only seventeen years old?"
"Nonsense, don't you even believe the words of the Grand Master?"
"I believe, but can you really get to the innate level at the age of seventeen?"
"This... should be OK."
Similar conversations were quietly talking from every corner of the square.
Although He Yiming has been in Hengshan for several months, he doesn't like to walk around. Except for the main peak library, the alchemy room and the medicine garden, he basically doesn't leave his home.
Everyone who enters the ancestor's hall to burn incense is extremely pious, and their movements are stable and impeccable.
Finally, when everyone finished burning incense, Yu Xichen said loudly: "Kneel down to the ancestors."
This time, even Yu Jinglei himself fell to the ground.
In this grand atmosphere, even those who were originally dishonest were restrained and bowed devoutly with all their hearts.
After a long time, when all the memorial process was completed, everyone stood up.
Yu Xichen's voice was loud and solemn: "With witness by ancestors of all generations, He Wude came forward."
"yes……"
An equally loud but old voice came in from the entrance of the square.
Everyone turned their eyes to the place, and saw an old man with white hair but full of energy appearing at the entrance of the square.
He Wude's excited eyes were rotating in the square. More than 40 years ago, he was here and was driven out of the wall by Yu Jinglei.
At that time, above the square, countless people's eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.
He dreamed of returning to the wall, and never wanted to fight for this.
Now, the eyes of nearly two thousand people here looking at him were filled with envy.
Let an abandoned sect re-enter the main peak square, and when the ancestor hall was opened...
He Wude took a deep breath, his eyes were full of pride, and his life was never in vain!
Step by step towards the Zushi Hall, the crowd in the square naturally separated, leaving him a straight and wide avenue in the center, just like welcoming a general returning in triumphant times, giving him the most noble welcome ceremony.
He Wude's face turned abnormally flushed due to excessive excitement. He knew that in the past, only the innate elders could enjoy this kind of etiquette.
The reason why Yu Jinglei specially arranged such a grand return ceremony for him was to compensate for his regret of being expelled from the wall in the past.
Of course, He Wude knew better that he could receive such super-specified treatment entirely because of He Yiming. If he did not have this innate grandson, even if he got back two innate inner alchemy, he would not have the glory of today.
Although He Wude was satisfied and wanted to keep walking, the straight line from the entrance of the square to the Zushi Hall always had the moment of walking.
Before he arrived at the Ancestor Hall, even though he was still unsatisfied, he stopped, knelt down respectfully, and whispered: "Hengshan abandoned disciples congratulated Wude to meet the ancestors."
Yu Xichen nodded slightly and said loudly: "With witnessed by the ancestors of all generations, although He Wude was expelled from the gate wall by Hengshan, he has never regretted it for decades and has always cared about Hengshan. This time, He Wude made great contributions to our Hengshan and introduced Elder He Yiming to join our sect. In view of this, the elders of our sect decided to restore He Wude's identity as a disciple of Hengshan." He suddenly turned around and shouted sternly: "He Wude, are you willing to return to the gate wall?"
He Wude looked up, and the voice from his heart burst out from his mouth: "Disciple is willing."
His voice rumbled in the square like thunder, accompanied by endless echoes, echoing in everyone's ears.
As if moved by the sincerity in this voice, for a moment, the entire square was silent again. Everyone looked at He Wude and felt different feelings in their hearts.
They asked themselves, if they got along easily, could they be like Congratulating Wude?
Gradually, most people's eyes contained more or less admiration, because they knew that their feelings for Hengshan were probably not as good as this devout white-haired old man.
After kneeling three times and nine times before the tablets of the ancestors in the Ancestor Hall, He Wude came to the Yao Taoist, knelt down heavily, and said, "Master, the disciple is back."
When he returned to Lingyao Peak to meet Yao Taoist for the first time, he also said this. At this moment, when he officially recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors under the witness of more than a thousand people from Hengshan lineage, he still said this.
However, the meanings represented by the second order are completely different.
At this moment, a different feeling appeared in the hearts of countless old people, and they seemed to remember the scene more than 40 years ago.
At that time, no one had ever thought that He Wude could not only return to the door, but also be so glorious.
The Yao Taoist pulled He Wude up, nodded with relief, and said, "Wu De, you go down."
He Wude responded and turned around to the area where the disciples of Lingyao Peak were located. Everyone led by He Wujin congratulated him sincerely, and He Wujin himself shook hands with him.
The four big hands were clasped together, and thousands of words were all in this.
Yu Jinglei took a step slowly, while Yu Xichen retreated with great tactfulness. He knew that his mission today had been completed.
After seeing Yu Jinglei stand up, the square naturally became quiet. Of course, they understood the reason why the person with the highest identity in Hengshan appeared.
After He Wude's return, the atmosphere in the square had been pushed to a climax invisibly. At this moment, everyone looked sideways and stared at Yu Jinglei on the steps, who was like a god in their hearts.
The old man looked solemn and said slowly: "Welcome to He Yiming."
His voice spread loudly, and everyone looked at the entrance of the square again.
There, there was no one...
Just as everyone was suspicious, a figure suddenly appeared.
This is a young man. His face did not stand out, but his eyes were as bright as stars. Anyone who touched his eyes trembled in his heart and lowered his eyes unknowingly. No one dared to look directly at him.
However, except for those limited people who had seen He Yiming for a long time, the rest of them felt infinite emotion.
Although they had known before that, He Yiming was only seventeen years old, hearing it with his ears and seeing it with his own eyes are two completely different concepts.
When they saw He Yiming's age with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was indeed far beyond the description of the pen and ink. The one who felt the deepest was the acquired peak powerhouses whose internal strength had reached the tenth level. Their eyes were much more complicated than ordinary disciples.
He Yiming raised his foot, and like He Wude, he stepped across the avenue among more than a thousand people step by step, and came to the ancestor hall.
The moment he came here, he clearly sensed the huge pressure brought by the countless sights behind him.
Although He Wude is a master of the tenth level of internal strength, he is not a congenital strong man after all, so he cannot feel how powerful the pressure it is to converge so many people's eyes.
However, He Yiming could clearly sense it, and he found that among the more than a thousand people here, each of them was a acquired practitioner with successful cultivation, and there were dozens of people in the tenth level of internal strength. Therefore, in comparison, the pressure they brought to themselves was far greater than the pressure brought by the eyes of thousands of people around him when they fought against Cheng Fu in the past.
However, as a congenital strongman, He Yiming only thrust his back, and the true energy on his body flowed endlessly, and he suddenly seemed nothing happened.
He suddenly remembered the New Year's competition between his peers in Hejiazhuang.
At that time, under the gaze of only a few hundred servants and servants, he was a little scared, but now he was open and honest in the eyes of thousands of acquired practitioners.
In just a few years, everything he experienced has allowed him to grow up quickly.
At this moment, he actually felt like he was a different life...
"He Yiming." Yu Jinglei coughed lightly, he stared at He Yiming's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to join my Hengshan lineage."
He Yiming raised his head like a dream, and the confusion in his eyes gradually faded away, and replaced by the same solemnity.
"willing."
These two words were clearly spit out from his mouth.
The sound of these two words is not very loud, but in this quiet square that seems to be audible by the needle, it is undoubtedly as loud as thunder.
Even the four elders who had known the answers for a long time had a long sigh of relief at this moment. They looked at each other, and there was indescribable joy in their eyes.
"Okay." Yu Jinglei shouted "Okay" heavily, and then said loudly: "The ancestors and clans are here. From today on, He Yiming will join the Hengshan lineage and become the fourth innate elder in Hengshan."
He turned around and knelt down first. Beside him, Yao Dao Ren and others were the same.
He Yiming then "heard" and everyone fell to the ground again behind him, even his grandfather He Wude was no exception.
Although no one advised me, in this case, as long as you are not an idiot, you will know what to do. He Yiming immediately knelt down like a good person and became an ordinary member of the crowd.
The joining of the innate powerhouse is obviously much more solemn than letting He Wude return to the door wall. Under Jinglei's personal advocacy, He Yiming not only gave the grand ceremony of three bows and nine bows to the founding ancestors of Hengshan, but also accompanied by several elders, he also met all the tablets in the hall and learned about some of the deeds of these ancestors.
It took a whole day to come, the grand ceremony came to an end.
Finally, Yu Jinglei dispersed all the disciples in the square. Before the ancestors' hall, Yu Jinglei solemnly took out a bronze medal and said, "Elder He, this is the certificate of my elders from the Hengshan lineage. Please accept it and keep it properly."
He Yiming took it with both hands and looked at the mist-covered mountains engraved on the bronze medal. He knew it was clear that this was the natural environment around Hengshan.
Especially the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, it is even higher into the sky, as if it is straight to the sky.
