In the ancestral hall of the Emperor Mo family, Emperor Jingtian began to perform the sacrificial ceremony.
Ye Lingyue noticed that everyone stood in separate courts.
Among them, the direct line of the Emperor Mo family stood at the forefront, and the direct line of the Emperor Mo family was headed by Emperor Jingtian.
The ancestral hall is large enough to accommodate thousands of people at the same time, like a big square.
Unlike the ancestral halls of ordinary families that enshrine spirit cards, the Emperor Demon Mansion enshrines tombstones. Only the tombstones of the previous patriarchs of the Emperor Demon Mansion can be directly built in the ancestral hall.
When entering the ancestral hall, the first thing I saw was a sword-shaped stele tower. The stele tower was built with basalt diamonds. It has been weathered and turned black. It is shaped like a sword. It rises from the ground and points straight to the sky.
The words "Sword Demon Monument" are written on the monument.
Although it was only a stele building, Ye Lingyue felt a chilling aura from the diamond stele.
That aura is very similar to the sword intent comprehended by the emperor back then.
The ancestor of the Emperor Demon Mansion, who used the magic weapon is rumored to be a sword. Now it seems that although the emperor was discarded since childhood, the blood of the Emperor Demon family is always flowing in his bones, so even if he becomes the demon ancestor, it is fine. Regardless of the ghost emperor, the first weapon is the sword.
Ye Lingyue took a few glances at the Sword Demon Monument, and the magic talisman in her body came into play, and the origin of the Sword Demon Monument automatically appeared in her mind.
"The Sword Demon Monument was made by Tianya, the first Emperor Demon Emperor, using a piece of diamond rock from outside the sky. It is rumored that it came from outside the sky and is a relic of heaven and man. It was built into the Sword Demon Monument. It is rumored that after the Sword Demon Monument was completed, Di Tianya sat in front of the Sword Demon Monument for 6636 days. The magic lifeline automatically passes through, comprehends the sword intent, and became the first person in the foreign land to comprehend the sword intent."
After Ye Lingyue received these messages, she was also slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, this sword demon tablet has such a history.
Not to mention that the first Nine-Life Emperor Demon, the first person to comprehend the sword intent, was the ancestor of Emperor Shen, the first Emperor Demon Patriarch, Di Tianya.
After Di Tianya realized the meaning of the sword, Di Tianya sealed the Emperor Demon Tablet in the ancestral hall, and the Emperor Demon Tablet was no longer easily seen by the world, and it was regarded as one of the two most important treasures of the Emperor Demon Mansion.
In the Emperor Demon Mansion, only a very small number of heirs who are talented and approved by the head of the family can enter the ancestral hall to comprehend the Emperor Demon Monument every year in the third and ninth month.
It's just that after Di Tianya, in the Emperor Demon Mansion, only two Patriarchs simultaneously comprehended the sword intent and broke through the Nine Lives Emperor Demon.
But even so, the significance of the Emperor Demon Monument in the Emperor Demon Mansion is still extraordinary.
This stele building is not only a symbol of the ancestral hall, but also a place where foreigners stop.
Although Ye Lingyue and others were allowed to enter the ancestral hall, they had to stop before the Monument of the Emperor Demon.
The same is true even for dignified people such as Changsun Xueying and Hei Wu.
Only the direct blood relatives of the Emperor Demon Mansion can go forward.
A group of people including Ye Lingyue could only wait outside.
There are seven sons and eight daughters under Di Jingtian's knees, and there are many descendants. There are more than one hundred people in the direct line within three generations, including their grandchildren, husband-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Ye Lingyue noticed that there were six sons and one daughter present today.
Presumably, apart from Di Jinse and Di Yunshang, Di Jingtian's other six daughters have already been married.
But as a son, his status is also different.
Among them, the eldest son Di Sen, the third daughter Emperor Qi Luo, and the fourth son Di Chao had the highest status, following behind Di Jingtian.
As Emperor Jinse's husband-in-law, Xi Jiuye followed behind the fourth son Di Chao.
These three groups of people are also the most powerful contenders for the young patriarch this time, and there is another young patriarch candidate who is an elder with senior qualifications in the Emperor Demon Mansion.
As for the collateral descendants of the Emperor Demon Mansion, they are not treated so well.
Their treatment is not even as good as outsiders like Ye Lingyue, let alone Hei Wu, Changsun Xueying and others.
They can only follow the lineage and guests, stand at the outermost edge of the ancestral hall, and can only see the sword demon tablet from a distance.
It is conceivable how embarrassing the position of the collateral in the Emperor Mo family has been these years.
No wonder, whether it was the Emperor Zhou back then or the later Emperor Feng, there would be criticisms of the direct lineage and even the entire Emperor Mo family.
Ye Lingyue noticed that Difeng was also among them.
Difeng also saw Ye Lingyue, and he was shocked when he saw Ye Lingyue.
Yesterday, he just introduced three people to sneak into Emperor Devil's Mansion. After Ye Lingyue was summoned and left, she didn't return all night. Di Feng, Qin Xiaochuan and others were very worried, for fear that Ye Lingyue would encounter some trouble.
However, seeing that Ye Lingyue had sneaked into the ancestral hall, and apparently became Di Qiluo's confidant, Difeng felt a little relieved.
However, he was still a little worried, not knowing what Ye Lingyue's specific intention was for infiltrating the ancestral hall.
A burst of instrumental music came over.
The sacrificial ceremony began, with thirty-six wizards wearing witch robes in the shape of big birds hanging down to the ground and wearing masks dancing and praying for blessings.
After a burst of salute and drum music, Di Jingtian led these more than a hundred people to salute in front of the Emperor Demon Monument, and then walked forward, which was in front of the tombstone that symbolized the previous Patriarchs. They had to burn incense and toast blood wine one by one.
After half an hour, the Emperor Jingtian sacrificed.
As soon as the sacrifice was over, Di Jingtian walked up to the Sword Demon Monument and shook his voice.
"Everyone, today, I would like to preside over today's clan meeting as the 532nd patriarch of the Dimo family. As we all know, half a month ago, the Dimo family suffered a sudden change, and my grandson Di Shijia unfortunately died. Killed His murderer has not yet been punished. However, the Skynet is not leaking, and the old man believes that this blood debt will one day be repaid. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Emperor Demon family, as the first family in a foreign land, cannot be left alone. Riwu Young Patriarch. After half a month of deliberation and several years of observation, the old man selected four people as candidates for the Young Patriarch."
After Di Jingtian finished speaking, he motioned for the four young patriarch candidates to come forward.
"These four people are also capable generals of my Emperor Demon's Mansion. Over the years, they have made great contributions to the growth of the Emperor Demon's family. Elder."
The four of them glanced at each other with disdain in each other's eyes.
Obviously, none of the four acknowledged each other's existence.
Among them, the smell of gunpowder between Di Qiluo and Di Jinse is the strongest.
The farce between the two women outside the ancestral hall completely tore each other's faces.
As for Di Sen and Elder Chen, they also knew that they were not as strong as Di Jinse and Di Qiluo, and there was a little less gunpowder between them, and they bowed their hands to each other as a salute.
For a while, the scene was a little awkward.
"Father, all four of us are here today, and I would like to ask father to announce how the selection of the young patriarch will be carried out?"
Tysen came out, saluted, and said loudly.
