My mind had completely calmed down and I ate normally.
Liu Huayin had already come to the courtyard with the Taoist priest just now and was waiting. He was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hat on his head.
Then I followed Liu Huayin and took another direction. I had never walked this road before.
After arriving at the place, what we saw was a huge altar.
This altar is at least hundreds of square meters, with eight sides showing the shape of Bagua, and there are steps to go up at every position.
Taking a closer look, this place is similar to the altar of the Golden God Seven Kills.
However, the similarity is only in appearance.
In the Bagua Babian, any altar built is inseparable from this Bagua platform, and the Qiang people cannot have any connection with that place.
In the center of the altar, there is a Taiji Yin and Yang fish divided into two parts, Yin and Yang, and the colors of the floor tiles are actually black and white.
On the black side, there is a table with three offerings of animals and incense and candles on it.
A flag was erected behind the table with the word "Qiang" on it.
On the other side of the white sunny side is a simple futon. In front of the futon is a copper tripod. There are three sticks of incense in the copper tripod. Each stick of incense is more than two meters high!
I can tell at a glance that the yin side is the place where the Qiang ancestors were, and the yang side is where the Liu family Taoist priest will succeed the great elder.
This also has a moral meaning. The ancestors of the Qiang people were all simple Feng Shui masters, that is, Mr. Yin Shu.
The Qiang people give the yang side to the Taoist priests, probably because they take the aura of awe in the Taoist priest's chest as a metaphor, and support justice as yang, rather than the yang in Mr. Yin and Yang as yang!
There is an open space outside the altar, about ten meters wide, and then there is a stand set up.
At this time, the stands were already filled with Qiang people!
Only a small part is where the Taoist priests of the Liu family belong.
However, the position was exactly in the middle. The Liu family did not occupy all of these middle positions. About half of them were still occupied by the Qiang people. It was obvious that those people were high-ranking people of the Qiang people.
At a glance, I saw Liu Sanyuan sitting in the middle of the stands, on the highest level. There were two seats next to him.
On the right side of Liu Sanyuan, Liu Yushu actually sat! The left side is empty.
Further down is Liu Huadao and Liu Huaming. There is also an empty seat there, and it clearly belongs to Liu Huayin. Liu Huayin has not passed there yet.
The remaining positions are occupied by other senior Taoist priests from the Liu family.
I was still confused at first. Liu Yushu was about to take over and be on an equal footing with Liu Sanyuan, which was barely in line with the rules.
Is there anyone in the Qiang tribe who has the same seniority as Liu Sanyuan?
But it wasn't until Liu Huayin brought me to Liu Sanyuan, and Liu Sanyuan asked me to sit down with a faint smile, that my eyelids twitched slightly uncontrollably.
Liu Sanyuan wore a hat. The hat was all black and made of brocade. There was a piece of gauze in the front that hung from the brim of the hat, just covering part of his face.
The gauze is very thin and cannot block the view at all.
The rest of the Taoist priests also wore different hats. Only Liu Yushu had an empty head and wore nothing.
After I sat down on the left side of Liu Sanyuan, Liu Huayin left.
Many Taoist priests from the Liu family below turned to look at me. Of course, they were very cautious. They just glanced at me and quickly turned back.
The same is true for the Qiang people next to them.
I am always an outsider, sitting next to Liu Sanyuan, it is too eye-catching.
"The auspicious time will have to wait for a while, Luo Shiliu, how are you resting?" Liu Sanyuan's voice became much richer today, as if he was deliberate because of the solemnity of this day, and his performance was just like that. It's like nothing happened yesterday.
"Same as usual, pretty good." I replied casually.
At this time, I obviously noticed Liu Yushu glanced at me and nodded slightly to me.
This action was very casual, but after getting familiar with him, I knew that he didn't usually have these habits. I'm afraid he was signaling to me about the promise he made yesterday.
I also nodded to Liu Yushu, but my heart was very complicated and I didn't look directly into Liu Yushu's eyes.
"Haha, you usually don't sleep well. It seems that the arrangements in the yard yesterday were not very good. You should be allowed to rest in the Taoist temple from now on."
Liu Sanyuan smiled, reached out and patted my shoulder, and continued: "We still have to wait for a while for the auspicious time, so please be patient."
It was obvious that Liu Sanyuan was still wooing me. Even my answer could not completely reassure him.
This position, and his words, gave me status.
I could see through this, took a deep breath, looked directly at Liu Sanyuan, and said: "For the Master's Succession Ceremony, I have nothing to give to Shen Ji. After all, Mr. Yin and Yang cannot hand over anything to others at will. , there will be a causal connection.”
"However, as Daoist Liu succeeds as the Great Elder, I do have something to give."
"Oh?" Liu Sanyuan was obviously interested. He nodded and said, "I wonder what the gift is?"
I put my right hand on the copper box hanging on my left arm. When I pressed the copper box with my hand, the layer containing the golden abacus popped out.
The dim light of the early sun reflects on the golden abacus, exuding pleated golden light.
