People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 6 Sincerity
As for Li Qi's sudden enlightenment, Li Changqing didn't think it was strange.

There are many such things throughout history. Many famous figures in history were mediocre in their youth, indulging in sensual pleasures and doing nothing serious. But one day they woke up, and their lives were turned upside down, and they were even made dukes and prime ministers.

Of course, most of the examples here are from the perspective of history, but in a particular time, city or place, there are relatively few such people.

Li Changqing had something in mind, but he didn't show it on his face. After suppressing his smile, he turned his back and looked at the ancestral tablet, just quietly waiting for the time to come.

This sacrifice also has its rules, especially the clan sacrifice, which has strict requirements on the time and must choose an auspicious time.

About ten minutes later, the two vermilion doors in the hall slowly closed, leaving only a gap of about 20 centimeters.

The ancestral hall suddenly became dark, and only eight beams of light shone through the holes in the wall that were deliberately left there, illuminating the eight murals on the wall.

There were eight dark-colored oil paintings, placed exactly in the eight directions, representing the eight phases of the Eight Trigrams.

The lobby of this ancestral hall is not a four-sided cube, but has eight sides. It is said that such a structure can gather spirits and nourish energy, and bless future generations.

The contents of these eight oil paintings are not about gods or Buddhas. The first three of them respectively depict the creation of the world by Lord Yu, the conquest of the world by Emperor Qin, and the stabilization of the universe by the Holy King. They depict the history of Yanhuang.

The remaining five paintings tell the stories of the ancestors of the Li clan.

The first one is the Supreme Being riding a bull...

Two blue planets, past and present lives, two worlds complement each other. History has changes and overlaps, and there are also many similar characters.

At the same time, it is also very true. The tradition of the Yanhuang people is to recognize celebrities as ancestors.

Whether it is true or false is not important. After all, if I succeed, there will be great scholars to debate the classics for me, and whether it is false or not will become true.

Conversely, what is true can also be false, and it doesn’t matter whether it is true or false.

Li Qi has been able to see these murals every year since he was a child, but this time was the most profound one for him.

When light and shadow intertwined, his mind, which was far more sensitive than before, sensed a certain strange charm from the murals.

However, it's just an unusual feeling, not a direct gain.

"Lord Yu created the universe... I remember in my previous life, before my sudden death, I did see something online saying that in distant times, there was a Yu Dynasty, whose authenticity is unknown, and which was the earliest human civilization..."

"In this world, the existence of the Yu Dynasty is a consensus, recognized as the source of civilization in the Eastern world. The histories of the two worlds diverged long ago. However, even so, many similar characters still appear. Perhaps this is the so-called reflection and interference of parallel time and space..."

In the solemn atmosphere, Li Qi looked at the mural, and such thoughts emerged in his mind.

"And then, it is indeed a matter of great importance to the state, the only thing that matters is sacrifice and war. In my past life and present life, I didn't quite understand it before, but now I understand. Sacrifice is actually about the hearts of the people, and what gathers is the roots, the roots that fallen leaves return to."

In such an atmosphere, Li Qi's heart suddenly calmed down. Although he still had some thoughts in his mind, they were not scattered. He could feel the process of his mind gradually becoming clearer.

At the same time, some content that I had seen before also emerged in my mind.

"No wonder they say that people are most fearless when they are performing sacrifices. Even if thunder strikes down right before their eyes, they have no fear, because at that moment, their hearts are already as sincere as ever!"

"And when a person says that his ancestors are above him and his descendants are unworthy..., that is also the most ferocious time, because his heart is almost sincere. This is the power of the heart..." This was the last thought in Li Qi's mind. Then, he heard the majestic sound of bells outside the ancestral hall. The ancient bells sounded slowly, and all thoughts were dispelled in an instant, leaving only emptiness and silence.

At the same time, Li Changqing's resounding voice rang out, almost like a chant: "Ancestors, descendants..."

When the vermilion gate reopened, many people felt a little dazed. In the Western world, people like to focus their faith on gods, while in the Eastern world, the most ancient faith is undoubtedly ancestor worship.

Of course, in today's world, both in the East and the West, many people have already lost their faith. In a sense, this is a good thing, but it is not entirely a good thing, because not everyone has true wisdom. Without wisdom and the support of faith, it is easy for the spirit to fall into empty nihilism.

Li Qi also followed the crowd out of the ancestral hall. At this moment, the center of the square below the main hall began to be filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and the deafening sound of suona. At the same time, two large lions began to dance, performing difficult moves accompanied by the exploding firecrackers.

Smelling the smell of gunpowder, Li Qi felt that he had a new understanding of some things. Looking at the same thing from different heights and angles, what he saw and felt was completely different from before.

In the past, Li Qi felt that all of this was boring and a waste of time.

But now, I feel a sense of endless blood inheritance.

Of course, people will die and disappear, but some things can remain. Even if future generations do not remember your name, there will still be traces left.

But a group of people walked out of the ancestral hall, but did not go back to their homes. The ancestor worship was only half completed here. They only worshipped the ancestors in their positions. Next, there were still graves to be cleaned, so the group turned to the mountains.

Lijia Village was originally located at the foot of Qishan Mountain.

Of course, decades ago, the tomb of the Li family’s ancestors was not in the mountains, but in the village. However, when Li Changqing later built the ancestral hall, he asked an expert to determine the feng shui, and he found a Feng Shui treasure land to bury his ancestors.

Although this matter was a bit cumbersome, Li Changqing's words were final and no one dared to object. In the past few decades, the situation in the clan had indeed changed. The most obvious thing was that there were no more cases of dementia among newborns.

Some people think that this is the advancement of science and technology, but others think that this is feng shui and the protection of ancestors.

The ancestral tomb is located about five kilometers away from the village by mountain road. It is located on a large platform on the mountainside. The distance is not far, and the road is well maintained, so it is not difficult to walk.

At this time, the sun had completely shattered the fog, and the sky became clear. Walking on the stone steps carved out along the mountain, the refreshing wind, mixed with the smell of grass, trees and soil, hit Li Qi's face, which made Li Qi feel refreshed and his steps became lighter.

When he was halfway up the mountain, he looked back and saw that the fertile fields below the mountain were also green. They were wheat that had just sprouted. Although it was winter, the wheat had already broken through the soil.

These stretches of land are the clan lands of the Li clan. More than 40 years ago, there were only 3,000 acres of them. After being reclaimed and purchased, they have now increased to 10,000 acres.

Ten thousand acres of farmland was a huge number in the previous life on Blue Star, but it is nothing in this world.

What's more, the output from the fields is not valuable. These lands are planted twice a year, and the net income per mu is only about 300 yuan. Ten thousand mu, it is only 3 million yuan, which is not even as much as the monthly net profit of some popular businesses of the Li Group.

But it was these ten thousand acres that gave hope to the elderly and weak in the Li clan who had lost their support and the pillars of their families.

All income from the clan land is used to support the elderly and the weak. This is the rule set by Li Changqing.

"The world is diverse, the earth nourishes all things... the Way of Heaven, the Way of Man, warriors, immortals..."

Li Qi suddenly had some thoughts, but they were just thoughts and he did not gain anything. But at this moment, his panel fluctuated slightly.
