Chapter 987: Chapter 976: The Deep Foundations of the Song Family
There are a total of three rocket launchers, strapped onto the bodies of three Russian strongn, and each of them was adorned with grenades.
After gearing up, this group walked into the dense forest under soone’s lead.
anwhile, inside the temple of the Song Family.
Song Yun followed Qingluan in viewing the deity statue and continued inward. After walking approximately one hundred ters, they finally reached the deepest part of the temple. Here stood a small house, and outside the small house was a simple wooden door with a basic lock hanging on it.
“What’s inside here?” Song Yun asked.
“I’m not sure either, it seems to be a room used for so ancestral ritual. What’s inside, I guess only Mr. Song and Elder Wang know,” Qingluan responded, shaking her head.
“It seems that this ancestral ritual truly isn’t a simple affair,” Song Yun remarked emotionally.
“Indeed, for a family, ancestor worship is extrely important because it represents the family’s history and commorates the elders who founded it. It’s the essence of family culture,” Qingluan said. “Not just us; every year, the Zhao, Li Tang, and Zhou families, along with many others later, all engage in ancestor worship. All families take it very seriously. A family that does not respect history or its ancestors cannot possibly endure.”
“Can you tell
the process of our ancestor worship this ti?” Song Yun asked again.
“I don’t know the exact process either; it seems it’s all arranged by Elder Wang,” Qingluan replied, shaking her head.
“Qingluan, tell , how old is Elder Wang actually?” Song Yun asked about this curiosity that had lingered in his mind.
“I don’t know, but he must be over 130 years old!” Qingluan said. “Because the era of Yanzi Li San was about 120 or 130 years ago, Elder Wang must be at least over 130.”
“A figure like a deity,” Song Yun said emotionally. “It’s strange, and I don’t an any disrespect to Elder Wang, I’m just curious why soone can live that long and still be so capable? What is the reason behind it? Science can’t explain this phenonon. People’s functions decline significantly after the age of 60 or 70, and by the age of 70 or 80, unless they are incredibly exceptional, they are generally in the stage of old age, unable to care for themselves in life. At 70 or 80, many people can’t care for themselves; even more so reaching 100! Even if you live as long as Elder Wang, being able to walk is already impressive; fighting with soone is out of the question, one slight knock could be dangerous.”
“This is a miracle,” Qingluan said with a laugh. “No one knows the reason. So have asked Elder Wang before, but he didn’t say anything. So tried to threaten him with force, but those people ended up as ashes. We can only say that Elder Wang is the final line of defense bestowed upon our Song Family by the heavens, our Song Family’s guardian deity.”
“This person is incredible,” Song Yun said. “If I can be like him soday, that would be great. Elder Wang’s skills are truly terrifying; I don’t even dare to move when I’m by his side!”
“There are many remarkable things about Elder Wang. If you have the ti, you should chat with Elder Wang more often!” Qingluan said.
While chatting, they continued walking; after making a round of the temple, over an hour had passed.
Song Yun and Qingluan ca back to the main entrance where Li Shishi and his mother were chatting; he didn’t know what they had been discussing, but Li Shishi was covering her mouth, laughing quietly.
“Did you also take a stroll inside?” Li Shishi asked Song Yun with a laugh.
“Yes, went around it, it truly is big!” Song Yun remarked emotionally. “Walking around takes over an hour; you can imagine the extent of its size. If you want to carefully tour it, you’ll likely need more than just a few days.”
“Of course,” Ye Qingsi appeared beside Song Yun, saying, “This place is our Song family’s most important site, just like our fa??ade; it naturally must be made large. According to your Second Grandpa, this is the residence of our ancestors; if it’s too small, our ancestors would feel embarrassed visiting others’ hos! That’s why we’ve been expanding here all these years.”
“Well… this explanation is truly interesting,” Song Yun laughed, saying.
While everyone was chatting, cars began showing up one after another on the temple’s open grounds.
Soon, there were no fewer than 50 automobiles parked on the grounds, predominantly Hongqi cars, followed by Audis, but not a single Japanese or South Korean car.
“Why are there no Japanese or South Korean cars?” Song Yun asked.
“Our ancestors’ favorite pasti back then was fighting against invaders. We descendants visiting them could not possibly arrive in cars made by those invaders, it would anger the ancestors!” Ye Qingsi explained.
“Soga!” Song Yun suddenly realized, then Ye Qingsi slapped him on the forehead directly, “Don’t speak Japanese. If the ancestors heard it, you’d be in big trouble!”
“Got it, got it!” Song Yun quickly nodded.
Another half an hour passed, and the cars on the open grounds had reached nearly 100. Inside and outside the temple, there were over a hundred people bustling about, so cleaning floors, so decorating, others preparing firecrackers, and still others involved in security asures arranged by the Song family’s security company.
Song Yun noticed that the security personnel could almost be described as ard guards. Every one of them had a bulging waist, and several were holding automatic rifles, and they were loaded!
So might wonder, how could a re ancestral ritual require such strict security?
It’s actually because Mr. Song is considered a big shot in this land, and given his status, having such tight security still makes sense.
Alongside the overt security forces, many covert security asures had been implented, with people stationed in the temple’s surrounding forests, trees, and ravines. These individuals were wearing camouflaged uniforms, with faces painted, remaining motionless; so held crossbows, others cold weapons, with almost no one wielding firearms.
These individuals are part of the Song family’s elite forces. As a prominent family, the Song family also maintains its own ard forces!
