At night, people's voices are silent.
In the dimly lit room, Lin Beichen was lying on the bed, looking at the beams on the room, and fell into deep thought.
He didn't know what he was thinking about. Sometimes he had a tangled look on his face, and sometimes his eyes were firm.
"call…"
After a long time, Lin Beichen let out a deep breath of turbid air in his chest, and then sat up from the bed.
Gently pushing open the door, a ray of tranquil moonlight shone on his face.
Tonight's moon is obviously a bit thinner than it was a few days ago. It is no longer disk-shaped, but has a gap, as if it was bitten by something.
Lin Beichen paced back and forth in the courtyard silently, as if he was thinking about something and was undecided.
Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes slowly became firm, no longer the wavering posture.
The next second, purple stones appeared one after another in the courtyard under his feet.
For a moment, purple light lingered in the courtyard, adding a sense of mystery to the silent night.
This is a mid-grade spiritual crystal!
There are thousands of them!
After gritting his teeth, Lin Beichen squatted down, picked up a middle-grade spiritual crystal stacked on the ground, slowly walked to a corner of the courtyard, and gently placed it on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he returned to the place where the middle-grade spiritual crystals were piled, picked up another spiritual crystal again, walked to another corner, and placed it gently on the ground.
The cycle goes back and forth…
There seems to be a certain pattern in the placement of these mid-grade spiritual crystals, but there seems to be no pattern.
Under the silent night sky, a figure was busy. When he was tired, he lay down on the ground to rest. After resting, he repeated the previous actions again.
Until dawn, a mysterious and mysterious aura suddenly emitted from the courtyard, and then, a strong purple light flashed away.
Lin Beichen was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. He was holding something unknown in his palm, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
……….
Time passed quickly, and nine days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the first ray of red light from the east shone into the room where Lin Beichen was located, Lin Beichen suddenly sat up from the bed.
There was a faint smile on his lips.
Tomorrow will be the weakest moment of the month in the moon. The moon will appear in the shape of a pointed crescent, also known as the synodic moon.
Tomorrow's Mao hour is the moment when the sun has just risen but has not yet appeared. The moonlight emitted by the moon at this time is also the weakest on this day of the month.
There is no light from the sun, and the light from the moon is also extremely weak. For creatures that absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, this is the time when they are at their weakest.
Therefore, they have to leave early tonight. Today, we have to prepare everything and arrange everything properly before heading to Sun Moon Lake.
After Lin Beichen stretched for a long time, he jumped up from the bed.
Putting on clothes and shoes in one go, very quickly.
"It's been so many days, but I haven't seen Master Mu or the others come to see me. I think things should have developed as planned. There are no mistakes. They should have all the manpower ready."
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen immediately opened the door, walked out of the room, and strolled towards the Mu family's meeting hall.
After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Beichen finally arrived in front of the meeting hall.
I saw that the door was closed tightly, and it seemed that no one was there.
Lin Beichen couldn't help but frown slightly, then strode forward and gently pushed open the door of the conference hall.
Sure enough, the entire hall was quiet, with no one around.
"Where has all this gone?"
Lin Beichen frowned even more and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
It stands to reason that since we are leaving for Sun Moon Tan today, the top brass of the Mu family should be here to discuss related matters. Why is the meeting hall so empty?
With deep doubts, Lin Beichen exited the meeting hall, gently closed the door, and then began to search the courtyards one by one.
It is hard to imagine that the entire huge Mu family, with so many people, seemed to have completely disappeared overnight.
Lin Beichen walked all the way around, then returned to the small courtyard next to his own courtyard, and stopped in this courtyard.
Then he walked in gently and gently opened the door of the room in the courtyard.
There is no doubt that no one appears again.
"It's strange. I seemed to hear sounds coming from the yard next door last night. Why can't I see anyone now?"
Lin Beichen muttered and then walked out of the courtyard.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw a puff of smoke slowly rising from the sky.
Judging from the direction in which the thick smoke was rising, it should be at the ancestral hall.
"Could it be that the ancestral hall was on fire and everyone ran to put out the fire?"
Lin Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then thought of this possibility.
Lin Beichen slapped his head. After thinking about it carefully, this possibility became more and more likely.
Then Lin Beichen stopped hesitating and walked hurriedly towards the location of the Mu family ancestral hall.
More than twenty minutes later, Lin Beichen, who was in a hurry, finally arrived outside the Mu family ancestral hall.
Sure enough, he saw a large number of servants here, but the situation in the ancestral hall was not as burning as he thought.
Everyone who heard Lin Beichen's rapid footsteps turned around.
"Forehead…"
Hundreds of people looked at him in unison, making Lin Beichen a little at a loss for a while.
"here!"
A familiar shout came from the front of the crowd.
Lin Beichen looked up and saw a beautiful figure waving to him, and beside her stood Mu Lingyun and some senior members of the Mu family whom he had met once before.
"Miss Mu!"
Lin Beichen responded and immediately walked forward in the eyes of everyone.
After greeting these senior members of the Mu family one by one, he walked to Mu Hongling's side.
"Why are you here?" Mu Hongling asked curiously.
"When I woke up, I found that the entire Mu family was deserted. It took me a long time to find this place. I thought something had happened to you, so I was shocked."
Lin Beichen said with a helpless smile.
"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot about you." Mu Hongling bit her red lips with a slight apology on her face.
"fine."
Lin Beichen waved his hands casually, and then looked at the various items placed on the ground in front of him.
Six kinds of livestock, including horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens, as well as many fruits and snacks, were neatly placed on the ground in front of them.
Further forward, there is a huge bronze tripod, surrounded by several incense candles as big as fists.
The flames in the cauldron rise, everlasting.
Lin Beichen was a little curious about this scene, and immediately patted Mu Hongling's shoulder, leaned next to Mu Hongling, and asked in a low voice: "Are you...?"
"We are worshiping our ancestors, can't you see?" Mu Hongling leaned close to Lin Beichen's ear and whispered.
Just when Lin Beichen wanted to ask something else, he was interrupted by Mu Hongling.
"Hush, the sacrifice is about to begin. My dad is going up."
Hearing this, Lin Beichen raised his head and looked forward.
Sure enough, as Mu Hongling said, Mu Lingyun was walking forward slowly, bypassing the bronze tripod, and then climbed up the stairs step by step.
There, there were more tablets than Lin Beichen could count.
Everyone looked solemn, and even Mu Hongling, who had always had a playful smile, calmed down at this moment.
Then Mu Lingyun bowed deeply towards these tablets, and everyone also bowed in unison.
For a while, Lin Beichen was the only one who did not bow, and his feeling of standing out from the crowd was immediately apparent.
"What are you doing? Bow quickly."
Mu Hongling quickly pulled Lin Beichen's clothes and urged.
"Ah? I want it too?"
Lin Beichen looked embarrassed, but he still obeyed Mu Hongling's urging and pretended to bow.
The dead are great, the dead are great.
Lin Beichen kept hypnotizing himself in his heart.
It would be a shame to come to the Qixing Tomb and recognize someone as an ancestor.
But for Mu Hongling's sake, he reluctantly accepted it.
Half an hour later, the tedious ceremony was finally over, and everyone dispersed in an orderly manner.
Under Mu Lingyun's command, dozens of servants respectfully moved these tablets away from the site.
"What happened to your Mu family today? Why are you worshiping your ancestors?" Lin Beichen quietly pulled Mu Hongling's clothes and asked curiously.
"After worshiping the ancestors, bring these tablets with you." Mu Hongling rolled her eyes at Lin Beichen, and then continued: "Don't you just put these ancestors' spiritual tablets in a bag and take them away without holding a ceremony? Then these ancestors must not curse my father to death for being an unfilial son."
"Forehead…"
Mu Hongling's words made Lin Beichen unable to refute for a moment, and could only scratch his head in embarrassment and smile bitterly.
Then he remembered something and asked quickly: "By the way, has the Mu family prepared all the people for going to Sun Moon Lake?"
"I heard from dad that these are all ready." Mu Hongling raised her head, thought for a while, and responded.
"Where is that person? Didn't I say I wanted a thousand people? Now I don't even see a hair..." Lin Beichen looked slightly stunned, and then asked with some doubts.
"Uh... Well, you should ask my father about this. I don't know too much. He's here, so you can ask him." Mu Hongling raised her finger and pointed forward.
After hearing this, Lin Beichen looked in the direction of Mu Hongling's finger and saw that Mu Lingyun had already explained the follow-up and was walking towards them.
"Master Mu!"
Lin Beichen waved and said hello.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Lingyun walked up to the two of them.
"Mr. Lin, why are you here? I thought I would go find you after finishing everything here." Mu Lingyun responded with a smile.
It is not difficult to see that he is in a very good mood today.
But it's no wonder that anyone will smile happily when they are about to get their wish.
"Master Mu, how is the manpower matter?" Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked immediately.
"Everything is ready. These people will report to our Mu family at noon. At that time, our Mu family will let them have a full meal, and then we will set off immediately." Mu Lingyun explained his plan in detail. said.
"OK."
Lin Beichen nodded lightly, having no objection to Mu Lingyun's arrangement.
"By the way, there are thirty-one people in our Mu family who are willing to leave the Qixing Tomb. They are all members of our Mu family. Basically, these servants are not willing to leave. After eating, I will give them some Let them go home and find a wife for a few taels of silver."
"And among the thousand people who signed up, most of them are not willing to leave. Only a few are willing. Including our Mu family members, there are a total of forty people."
Mu Lingyun said, his face filled with unstoppable joy.
"It's okay. Whether we leave or not depends on our personal wishes. It's not good to force them." Lin Beichen responded casually.
Everyone has their own ambitions. If these people are unwilling to go out, he will not force them. As long as he can gather the one thousand people he needs and can completely arrange the magic circle, he doesn't care much whether these people go or stay. .
"Okay, let's go and rest in the living room first. After these people arrive at noon, we will set off immediately after eating."
With that said, Mu Lingyun pulled Lin Beichen and walked forward. Mu Hongling followed closely, and the three of them left the ancestral hall together.
Time passed quickly. After a few people drank a few cups of tea and chatted about Cloud Shadow Continent for a while, it was already noon.
When a servant came to announce that the thousand people had arrived and the banquet could begin now, several people stopped talking.
"Come on, let's hit the road together after dinner."
Mu Lingyun stood up from the chair, showing an extremely excited look.
The last wishes of so many generations of ancestors will become a reality in his hands today. There will definitely be a heavy stroke of his ink in the family tree in the future.
Lin Beichen's eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance, and then he couldn't help but secretly cursed Tianjizi a few times.
Looking at the people being locked up, they are almost getting sick from being locked up.
In a wide square, hundreds of tables are filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.
The crowd was bustling and lively.
An hour later, all these thousands of people had had enough to drink and eat.
Mu Lingyun stood up from Lin Beichen and shouted loudly: "Everyone, thank you for helping our Mu family today. I, Mu Lingyun, would like to thank you all. Now, let's set off together!" "
"good!"
Everyone stood up one after another and responded in unison.
It can be seen that the Mu family's reputation in Qixing Tomb is pretty good.
Few people have a hatred of the rich towards them.
