Chapter 322: Do gods still need a zither?
On the altar, there are so many offerings that it is dazzling to look at.
Xiong Jiushan brought a small number of soldiers for "protection." It seemed that they were called randomly, but in fact, he also selected a few close followers who he knew well.
Opening cases to offer sacrifices to gods was not uncommon among the court and the people of Daliang.
The seven or eight men who followed him didn't realize at first what was going to happen, and they stood on both sides with serious expressions.
Xiong Jiushan held the hilt of the knife in his hand, stood tall in front of the queue, and looked ahead.
This time, since Taoist Guanghan was personally in charge, even he felt a flicker of hesitation when he looked at the valuable offerings placed on the table from left to right.
Taoist Guanghan is so generous in offering sacrifices to the Xie family's gods?
Rouge, powder, pearl hairpins, jade pendants, silks and satins, and even... a harp?!
Do gods still need a piano?
He had doubts in his heart, but Han Qiguang's smooth and flowing worship gestures exuded professionalism from head to toe!
Xiong Jiushan glanced at the two of them and saw that they looked disgusted with each other, so in order not to disturb them, he quietly put aside his doubts for the time being.
The sky was white, covered by clouds and mist, and the sun was not visible.
The winter clouds and fog are thick and heavy, pressing down heavily, adding a sense of solemnity and tension between heaven and earth.
This was the first time that Han Qiguang filled the altar so "solemnly". The items on the altar were all the best things he had found in the city in a short period of time after listening to the advice of his subordinate Li Cai!
He and Xie Yuchuan stepped forward and offered incense one after another.
He held the incense high above his head, lowered his head and hummed softly. In the distance, Xiong Jiushan and others looked at the atmosphere in front of them, and their expressions became more solemn and serious.
They didn't understand why they were called over by the adults. They just thought it was an accident that happened in the morning, which made the adults still feel scared. That's why they asked the Taoist priest to come and open the altar. No matter how careless they were in the past, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the gods.
Seven or eight people, all with gloomy brows and eyes, stared curiously at the front. Such an opportunity was rare in the past.
When Han Qiguang muttered, his voice was low, his speed was fast, and his words were dense.
Some parts were read too fast, and even Xie Yuchuan couldn't hear clearly. He muttered something at the desk.
After Xie Yuchuan offered incense, he glanced at him sideways and found that Han Qiguang's lips were still moving.
"Stop talking nonsense in front of the household god." He reminded in a low voice.
Han Qiguang held up the incense sticks, raised his eyelids, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
"What do you know? This is called a small gift but a big thought. A lot of gifts are not blamed. A small heart is sincere, and even the gods will appreciate it!"
Xie Yuchuan shook his head, took the lead and went forward to light the incense.
He turned around and walked back to Han Qiguang, his eyes swept over Xiong Jiushan who was not far away, and he memorized the men he brought on both sides one by one. It seemed that these people should be the ones Xiong Jiushan trusted the most.
At the head of the left side, a cautious gaze was staring at him and Han Qiguang without any hesitation.
He turned around calmly and stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Qiguang.
"Gods above, please accept my humble obeisance!"
After hearing the last sentence, Han Qiguang strode forward and, like Xie Yuchuan, offered incense, turned around, and stood shoulder to shoulder.
After they stood still, they both bowed down and kowtowed.
Bow three times and kowtow nine times with sincerity.
In this moment of thought, the body and mind are pure, free of distractions and thoughts.
Xie Yuchuan's mind was connected to the gods, and his spiritual light went straight to the mobile phone placed beside Tu Huan who was cooking in the kitchen.
The range hood was buzzing, but Tu Huan didn't notice it for a moment.
Therefore, an altar for worshipping gods was built outdoors in Daliang.
There is nothing unusual at all!
After bowing, Han Qiguang stood up and was dumbfounded when he saw the numerous offerings on the table!
He looked at the altar, then turned and stared at Xie Yuchuan, his bright big eyes full of confusion.
Han Qiguang: Didn’t you tell the family god that I was here?
He had seen with his own eyes what the Xie family's gods looked like when they were showing their powers!
Xie Yuchuan concentrated and asked again, but still did not feel any response from the family god.
After a short silence, he murmured in a deep voice, "Perhaps the household god is busy."
"ah?"
Han Qiguang felt very disappointed and looked at the things on the table. "I specially selected these elegant things." He turned to look at Xie Yuchuan. "Do you think that the gods don't like these things? If not, I can get something else instead."
Looking at the dazzling array of items, Han Qiguang deeply doubted Li Cai's bad idea.
"Is it because I kowtowed insincerely?"
Xie Yuchuan glanced at him and noticed from the corner of his eye that Xiong Jiushan was walking towards them from behind.
"Xiong Jiushan is here."
Han Qiguang pulled his beard and turned to look back.
Seeing Xiong Jiushan coming over, he immediately became dramatic, stretched out his arms in front of him, clasped them together to his chest, and bowed his head and said, "Master Xiong!"
Xiong Jiushan came forward with his sword in hand. Seeing the strange expressions on the two men's faces, he glanced at their faces and asked.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the offering?"
Han Qiguang raised his shoulders and sighed deeply, then immediately "throwing" the blame onto his good brother Xie Yuchuan beside him, sighing, "Your Excellency should ask Xie Yuchuan why this happened. I don't know where I made the mistake."
Xie Yuchuan glanced at him, and the latter looked normal and serious.
Xiong Jiushan glanced at the motionless offerings on the table. Based on his previous experience, if the Xie family's gods were happy to appear, these things should not be left untouched like this.
He couldn't help but look at Xie Yuchuan with suspicion in his eyes.
"Between you and the Xie family god..."
Xiong Jiushan's question contained a double entendre.
He was not only asking what happened with the offering, but was also testing whether there was any problem between Xie Yuchuan and the "god" behind him?
If Xiong Jiushan had noticed before that there was something wrong with Xie Yuchuan's communication with the gods, he might have been happier and wouldn't have to bear the brunt of someone's refusal to obey orders by relying on the "big mountain" behind him.
But, if there really is a problem, it shouldn’t be now!
The two have just reached a cooperation.
If Xie Yuchuan said something to him now, his psychic ability would be useless.
Believe it or not, Xiong Jiushan would break up the partnership on the spot and would never tolerate it.
Xie Yuchuan knew what answer he wanted to hear.
"Yuchuan has already reached the gods, but..." He paused, his eyes swept towards Han Qiguang, and said meaningfully: "I don't know why the family gods are unwilling to show up. Is it that Taoist Guanghan is not sincere?"
To be clear, I, Xie Yuchuan, have never been like this. Who knows what's going on?
Han Qiguang's eyes widened when he heard this.
You are such a good guy, Xie Yuheng!
Xiong Jiushan frowned, probably thinking that there was nothing wrong with what Xie Yuchuan said, so he turned to look at "Master Guanghan".
Han Qiguang's expression was slightly agitated. "Your Excellency, please understand! Do not listen to his nonsense. Although I dislike him, I never neglect the solemnity of worshipping the gods. Otherwise, how could I have found so many good things? I am praying for your blessings and safety."
Good brothers, love each other and sabotage each other.
Xiong Jiushan said nothing, but turned to ask Xie Yuchuan: "If you have a problem, hiding it is a serious offense. You must know that I can do what you ask for, but it is because the gods are protecting you."
