Chapter 251
Suddenly I remembered the wish of a simple life when I first came here, and I felt that I had really thought of the world too simply.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, this world is still so simple. Every day when I go to work or school, I will be busy with the things I like, find friends to play and chat together. Then, find someone I like and form a happy family together. When the children grow up and become independent, they will grow old.
I used to think so like most people, but now I am no longer one of these most people.
I, who came into contact with the other side of this world, was destined to take on the responsibility of this other side, and was destined to be unable to return to the simplicity he used to be.
There are so many of these Yin and Yang eyes that can be seen, so I am destined to be out of reach for simplicity.
The inheritance ceremony is scheduled on July 18th and the ninth day of the sixth lunar month. It is located in Murong Villa in Kanagawa.
On this day, all the invited heads of the Japanese family were dressed up. The current Murong family can be regarded as marketing of Yin-Yang in Japan, and it has a famous knife in hand. Of course, no one dares to ignore such a major event as the inheritance ceremony of the Murong family head.
Although the four major families felt that the inheritance ceremony was too hasty and tried their best to do it more grandly, they still refused the media.
In the eyes of the four elders, the inheritance ceremony was still the family affairs of the Murong family. Inviting a family alliance with contact to announce it, the goal was achieved. If it was said that it would be broadcast everywhere on TV, there was no need.
On July 18th, I got up early, and two maids were guarding the house. Under their service, I took a bath, cleaned my body, changed my clothes and tied my hair, and everything was ruled and I could not be careless.
Zhang Wuliu came and sat quietly on the windowsill, watching me sitting in front of the dressing table, and asked the maid from the Yu family to help me comb my hair. The black hair was pouring like a waterfall behind me, and under the combed sandalwood comb, it hung neatly on my back. From the mirror in front of me, I looked at Zhang Wuliu's silhouette, and suddenly I felt that his expression was as if he was looking at my daughter who was about to get married.
I couldn't help but laugh silently.
Zhang Wuliu in the mirror saw me laughing, raised her eyebrows, and then smiled. Facing the morning sun behind her, she was as beautiful as a dream.
After breakfast, the guests gradually arrived. At this time, I had to stay in the room and calm my mind completely. The inheritance ceremony of the Murong family was not just a simple ceremony, it was also a ceremony, a solemn ceremony passed down from a thousand years ago - Blood Sacrifice Dragon Soul.
However, this time my inheritance ceremony was different from usual, and what I had to do was not just this ceremony.
Before the blood sacrifice of the dragon soul, I have to conduct a formal ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors. Only by recording my name on the Murong family’s genealogy can I be qualified to perform the important ceremony of blood sacrifice of the dragon soul.
If I don’t get rid of the identity of a illegitimate daughter, I will never be recognized by the Dragon Soul. The arrogance of the ancient Dragon Soul is absolutely impossible for a person with an incorrect identity to have his abilities.
At 10:10 in the morning, the guests arrived. At 30:30, Yu Ling knocked on my door and informed me that the ceremony began.
I stood up and walked out of the door, and appeared in front of everyone in plain clothes.
Although the Murong family has inherited the dragon soul as the white dragon soul, it has been a white emperor since ancient times, at this moment, what I wear is truly a filial piety uniform.
Before I arrived at the front hall, I went to the mourning hall of the ancestral hall and invited my mother's spiritual seat. Then I went out from the side door and came to the gate of Murong Villa with the spiritual seat.
At eleven, the vermilion door slowly opened. Behind the door was a road paved with charcoal, leading directly to the hall. The charcoal road was not wide, and there were a row of whipped fish servants standing on both sides.
I was holding my mother's spiritual seat, kneeling straight down in front of the door, kneeling across the threshold, and pressing the red charcoal on my knees.
The people who were watching the ceremony while sitting in the hall were startled when they saw this situation and walked up. In the crowd, I saw Tezuka and Jibu and others trying to rush up, but were stopped by the Jun family.
The burning sensation from my knees hurt so much that I was sweating coldly. I tried to make myself kneel straight. Every time someone passed by, the waiters on both sides would wave the whip in their hands and slapped hard behind me, leaving a bright red blood mark on the snow-white mourning uniform.
For some reason, the guests who watched the ceremony had this situation. When asked the waiters around, no one answered the question. They discussed it themselves but couldn't tell the reason. In such a solemn atmosphere, the discussion gradually lowered and continued to watch quietly. Some women could not see the bloody scene, and had already covered their eyes and turned their heads away.
This road is not long, but it makes everyone feel that they have been walking for a long time.
When I finished kneeling on the charcoal road, the waiter waiting beside me immediately helped me up. At this time, my knees were already charred.
They helped me to walk to the hall, and the guests stood on both sides and emptyed the avenue in the middle. Grandpa Yu Zhu was in the middle of the hall, holding a roll of family rules in his hand, and Yu Ling held the family law in his hand and stood beside him.
I was supported and knelt on the cushion in front of Grandpa Yu Zhu, and my body pressed onto my knees and wounds, causing my whole body to thrust.
I tried to speak loudly in a clear and clear voice: "The unfilial daughter Murong Ziyun, with her mother Murong Lanruo's spiritual position, will return home today, and I am willing to recognize my ancestors and return to my hometown."
Grandpa Yu Zhu looked solemn and asked, "Murong Ziyun, do you know your mistake?"
I bowed my head and bowed: "Ziyun's mother has no orders from her parents and the words of the matchmaker, and running with others at night is unfilial; she ignores her identity and does not succeed the head of the family, which is unkind; she ignores her companions, does not care about the consequences, and acts alone, which is unrighteous. Now that my mother has passed away, Ziyun wishes to be punished on behalf of her mother and accepts the punishment of the Murong family law."
Grandpa Yu Zhu said again: "Since you have knelt on the road of charcoal fire and been beaten to death, it shows your sincerity. But the country has national laws and family rules. Since you have entered Murong's family, you have to pay the price for the mistakes you made, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public. Are you willing to accept this law?"
I stood up and lifted it, and replied in a firm manner: "Ziyun is willing to accept it."
Although everyone could not understand the Chinese language they used in dialogue, for some reason they could understand what they meant. They were shocked when they heard it.
The heads of each family were surprised but silent. The incident of Murong Lanruo and Ito Masahiro elopement was no longer a new topic. At that time, this matter was well known because of Murong Ziyun's famous incident. Although it was not nice to say elopement, in this open era, the families mostly blamed such things and eventually tried to accept it slowly.
I never thought that when I came to attend the inheritance ceremony of the Murong family today, I saw this happening first. At this point, everyone understood what happened just now.
If a woman who elopes and goes out, she will have to kneel down on the road of charcoal and be whipped before she can enter the house again. Only after entering the house can she be qualified to accept the family's trial.
Grandpa Yu Zhu opened the family rules and said seriously: "Escape with others is a serious crime. According to family rules, you must be removed from the genealogy. I wish to be punished for your mother on your behalf, and your filial piety is commendable. I think you are still young and punished for your skeleton. I wish to be punished for your skeleton? "
"Ziyun is willing to accept it."
Yu Zhu nodded, picked up the wooden stick as long as an arm from the tray in Yu Ling's hand, stood beside me, and personally executed the punishment of the stern.
The wooden stick was thrust hard on the back, making a muffled sound. The punishment of the spine of the stick is different from whipping. No matter how painful the whipping is, it is just a skin trauma. After a few days of rest, it will be fine. However, the spine of the stick is hit under the skin and flesh, without bleeding, but it will leave bruises. If you are not careful, you may also hurt your muscles and bones. If your body cannot bear it, you have to rest in bed for several months before you can get well.
The muffled sound of the wooden stick hitting the flesh for ten times, and I gritted my teeth and didn't say a word.
When Grandpa Yu Zhu took the wooden stick back into the tray, I was already in pain. My whole body was emitting pain everywhere from the inside to the outside, stimulating my already completely tense nerves one after another.
Grandpa Yu Zhu saw me enduring the pain, a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speed up his speech.
"Murrong Ziyun, the criminal law has passed, and now the birth of the school will be replaced. Are you willing to cut off your past?"
I took a strong breath, suppressed the pain, gritted my teeth and replied, "Ziyun is willing."
As soon as I finished speaking, Grandpa Yu Zhu picked up scissors from the tray in Yu Ling's hand, walked around behind me, cut off a bunch of hair, and threw it into the brazier that the maid brought to burn.
After all this, Yu Zhu immediately put away the family rules in his hand and ordered his maid to help me go back to the inner room to apply medicine and change clothes.
The locations of the Himebe family and Tezuka family were closest to the main seat. When they saw me get up, they both wanted to rush forward. I pulled the corners of my mouth at them, shook my head and said, "It's okay."
The two had to withdraw their hands and stand back behind their grandfather.
When I returned to the room, the maid quickly applied medicine to my wound. The whipping and scalding were fine. As soon as the medicine was put on, I felt a coolness and the pain immediately relieved a lot. However, the wounds from the stick were hurt as soon as they moved. At this time, there was no time to use medicinal wine to remove the stagnant, so I had to put it on first and wait until the next inheritance ceremony was completed before dealing with it.
A white Xuanduan sacrificial wardrobe covered all the scars on my body. When I walked to the front hall again, except for my slightly pale face, I couldn't tell that I had been injured just now.
Zhang Wuliu walked in front of me in a white orthodox dress and a jade crown. As soon as he entered the front hall, he sat down next to the main seat. The other heads of the family looked at each other, wondering what this handsome man was. But seeing that Yu Zhu, who presided over the sacrificial ceremony, did not speak, he stopped exploring it.
