The look of loneliness on Li Luo's face showed a little, and then disappeared, but it fell into the eyes of the woman in plain clothes. The woman was slightly surprised. She didn't know what Li Luo was thinking of, but he had such an expression at such a young age.

Li calmed down and replied: "We are not from the Xirong tribe. We are very lucky to be able to go to the ancestral mountain. How can we enter the temple so shamelessly? Besides, we cannot compare to the sincerity of the tribesmen in front of the temple. It is better not to disturb the ancestral gods."

The woman smiled sweetly, but she obviously didn't believe what Li Luo said. She lightly tapped her jade head and said, "That's right. I don't have any thoughts in my heart. It's okay if I don't bow."

Huchajing asked: "Does the girl also go up the mountain to worship the ancestral gods? What a superb Qinggong."

"Young Master is overly praised. It's just that a few people were distracted by external objects and didn't notice it for a while."

"Is this girl a servant in the ancestral temple?" Li Luo suddenly asked.

"Exactly, how did this young master know?" the woman said in surprise.

Li Luo didn't answer, and turned his eyes slightly. The few people who had just exited the temple inadvertently moved to the left edge of the temple, right in front of the service residence in the ancestral temple.

The terrain of the Ancestral Temple is steep, and except for the road facing the main hall, it is almost impossible to stay anywhere else. If you want to bully Li Luo and others by relying on lightness skills alone, you may not be able to find them in the whole world.

Upon seeing this, the woman pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Guys, please help yourself, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying this, she bowed slightly and walked towards the ancestral temple.

After walking far away, Shen Xiangdong said slowly: "It seems that this ancestral temple is not that simple, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Zhu Zhi continued: "Yes, there have been many wars in the Western Regions. From the founding of Xirong to today, the scourge of war has never stopped. The ancestral temple can stand for a hundred years, but the Xirong people alone may not be able to do it. To survive in troubled times, there is no way.

The power of self-preservation is all empty talk.”

Shen Xiangdong glanced at Zhu Zhi approvingly, and Zhu Zhi hurriedly bowed, Hu Chajing patted Zhu Zhi on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Not bad, what's your name?"

Zhu Zhi smiled slightly and replied: "You are a boy who can be taught. I am so bold. Please forgive me, Young Master and uncle."

Li Luo chuckled and said, "There are many people here and there is no need to be polite."

Several people turned to look at the Ancestral Temple, and the woman's figure had disappeared into the temple.

After the Xirong man and his mother finished worshiping the ancestral gods, they went down to the ancestral mountain with Li. It was almost noon, and there were still nearly half of the clan members on the ancestral mountain who had not entered the temple to worship.

Chu Ying'er supported the old woman and went down the mountain much faster. After a while, she could already see the dense crowd that had not dispersed at the bottom of the mountain. Along the way, the old man couldn't help but thank Li Luo and the others, and the Xirong man was also very happy.

Out of gratitude, he tried his best to invite a few people to his clan's village as guests.

Li Luo just smiled and said that if he had free time, he would go somewhere else for a walk.

In Xirong, tribes further away from Dezu Mountain, after praying to heaven on Changning Festival, the festivals of the tribe are decided by the elders of the tribe. They do not follow the ceremony of praying to heaven like Shuoxi, and can be postponed for a while.

day.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Li Luo said goodbye to the Xirong men and prepared to return to the city. The old man took Li Luo with him, his face was full of energy, and told him again where the tribe was, saying that Li Luo and the others must go and stay for a while.

Respond one by one.

Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi took back everyone's weapons, got on their horses, left Zushan, and returned to Shuoxi.

Only three moments later, a slender figure appeared on the side of the road, carrying a package behind him, walking towards Shuoxi on foot.

As soon as he passed this passerby, Li Luo suddenly reined in his horse, turned his horse's head, and asked over his shoulder, "You want to go to Shuoxi too?"

Shen Xiangdong also stopped and looked back. It was the woman who was asking Li Luo and others from the ancestral mountain why they did not enter the temple to worship.

The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to meet Li Luo and the others again. She put her hands together in a tithe and said with a smile, "Well, I didn't expect to meet a few more people."

Li Luo returned the gesture, and Hu Chajing continued: "Why don't you find a carriage? How long will it take to get here? It's getting dark. It's not safe for a girl to travel alone."

The woman smiled sweetly and said, "How can it be unsafe? There are people all along the way, and there are no wild animals."

Huchajing and Ni Qing and Zhuzhi looked at each other in confusion. Ni Qing asked cautiously: "Is this your first time traveling far away?"

The woman nodded and looked at Li Luo and the others.

Huchajing let out a long breath and said, "Well... I'm not afraid of wild beasts, I'm just afraid of someone with evil intentions."

The woman frowned and said, "I have read in books before that there are many bad people in this world?"

"In the book?" Huchajing said in surprise.

"Yes." The woman smiled softly and said, "I have been in the temple to serve the ancestor gods since I was six years old. I have never been down the mountain. Today is the first time."

Huchajing gave a bitter smile and looked up at Li Luo. Li Luo was also a little surprised and nodded slightly to Shen Xiangdong.

Shen Xiangdong rode a few steps forward, whisking his beard and saying, "It's getting late. If you are walking like this, it will take several days until Shuoxi. Why don't you come with us? After Shuoxi, you can make your own plans." .Now that wars are raging and bandits are rampant, it is best to be with others in the future."

The woman's expression darkened, and she whispered: "In the ancestral temple, I often hear people praying for peace in the world, or for relatives who are far away in the army to return safely, but slowly I hear more and more people praying for their relatives to be in heaven. It can lead to long-term peace and well-being. In the southern and northern wars, it is the people who suffer in the end, so what is the use of the achievements."

Perhaps because of this woman's compassionate nature, Li Luo and the others didn't speak for a while, watching quietly.

After a long time, Shen Xiangdong continued: "The girl is kind-hearted, but greed has always existed in the human heart. If we want to achieve peace in the world, it is actually very difficult. We are just ordinary people, and we should do whatever we can to the best of our ability. Don't worry about fame and fortune, just do something good, it is always good. Just like a girl, pray to the ancestor gods in the ancestral temple to protect the people of Xirong, do small good deeds, and when you gather them together, you will become a great good deed."

The woman's pretty eyes flashed, she looked at Shen Xiangdong, then at Li Luo and the others, she smiled slightly, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and said: "What you think of, sir, is a blessing to everyone in the world."

Shen Xiangdong laughed and said: "Surviving in troubled times, how can you get blessings? It's getting late, girl, are you willing to go with us?"

The woman thought for a moment, then bowed and thanked you: "That's how Chang Ning thanks you all." After saying this, the woman looked at Li Luo and the others intently, but she saw that several of them just returned the gift without any strange expression. It seemed like he was relieved.

Shen Xiangdong briefly introduced everyone, and Li Luo said to Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi: "Ni Qing, you and Zhu Zhi ride on the same horse, leaving one horse free for Miss Changning."

Before Ni Qing could agree, Chang Ning said with a hint of embarrassment: "I have never ridden a horse."

"I'll take you with me." Chu Ying'er said coldly.
