The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 127
The old man in Longjing Village actually asked us to bow and kowtow to a coffin three times and nine times.

This is a big gift, and it is often only done to emperors and ancestors.

Although I don't care about these etiquettes, if everything can be settled, let alone a coffin, it's fine for me to bow down to a pig.

But in this mysterious Longjing Village, I felt a little uneasy. The Luban Sect would not make us kneel down for the sake of etiquette.

Once we act according to the old man's words, we may be hit by one of their anti-victory skills, and we will be subject to them in the next actions.

But for a while, I didn't know how to deal with it. The coffin was lying across the road. I'm afraid that if I didn't bow down, I wouldn't even think about entering the village.

Soon someone began to prostrate. Three prostrations and nine prostrations are common etiquette in Taoism, so everyone did it very standard.

What's strange is that every time a person kowtows, there will be a low-pitched laughter in the mahogany coffin, the sound is human but not human.

This laughter made me extremely uneasy, and I couldn't help but think of the curse of evil laughter in the Kaifeng tragedy that Zhang Longhu told me.

After a while, many people finished prostrating. When it was my turn, I had to bite the bullet and bow down to the coffin.

Three worships, the three treasures of man, the three treasures of spirit, the three treasures of Tao, the teacher of Taoism, and the three treasures of heaven, the sun, the moon and the stars.Nine knocks, ninety-nine pure anode number.

After three prostrations and nine prostrations, I didn't feel any abnormality in my body.

But what I didn't expect was that there was no weird laughter coming from the mahogany coffin.

Suddenly, a dull voice sounded from inside the coffin: "Yes, this child is acceptable."

So the old man next to the coffin immediately cast a glance of approval at me, and asked me at the same time: "What's your name?"

I replied: "Boy Zhao Dengtang."

He wrote down my name with a pen and paper. Seeing this scene, I suddenly understood the purpose of this prostration ceremony. It seemed to be screening us, and it seemed that I was going to be accepted into the religion!
Many people on the side cast envious eyes at me, as if they also knew that this was a good thing, maybe they got a gold medal to avoid death.

But I don’t think so. I absolutely don’t want to join Luban’s teaching of the technique of exhausting victory. Ordinary disciples are fine. Once they really enter the core of Luban’s teaching, they will eventually be cursed and die miserably. It is said that for thousands of years, Luban’s teaching No one can escape this ultimate Luban curse.

It has nothing to do with the level of Taoism, as long as you have learned the core Luban technique, no one will be spared.

But for the time being, I can't refuse it openly, so I have to take it one step at a time.

About an hour later, everyone finished prostrating, and in the end only seven or eight people received the recognition and treatment that I did, and the few people Chen Anbang had mentioned before were all included, which made me admire him even more.

We all entered Longjing Village, we thought everything was going well, but the old man stopped the paper figurine Gou Sheng and Qin Yuluo, and said, "Why don't you two be polite?"

Qin Hongli immediately replied first: "Mr., they are the newlyweds in the marriage contract. They are not contestants, so do you want to salute?"

The old man nodded, so Qin Yuluo also saluted immediately, but she was not approved to join the religion.

When it was 'my' turn, 'I' looked around as if I didn't understand the etiquette.

Qin Hongli held a grudge against 'me' because 'I' got the Longhushan spirit marrow seed before, and when she saw 'me' lingering, she was immediately displeased and said, "Zhao Gousheng, haven't you got it right? Why are you still a fool? Same? So many people kowtowed just now, haven’t you learned it yet? A fool is a fool!”

Only then did 'I' slowly bend down and prepare to kneel down, but what 'I' didn't expect was that just as I bent down, a majestic air force suddenly came from inside the coffin, directly pushing 'my' body To control, 'I' can't move an inch.

Seeing 'I' motionless like a fool, Qin Hongli urged without knowing it: "Zhao Gousheng, are you deaf? Hurry up and salute, there are so many people waiting, don't waste everyone's time!"

Just as 'I' was about to explain, the inhuman voice suddenly came from inside the coffin: "He doesn't need to kneel to me!"

Qin Hongli's arrogant young lady lost her temper immediately, and subconsciously said: "Why? We have so many geniuses from the Taoist sect kneeling, why doesn't he kneel like a fool?"

Not only Qin Hongli, but even the old man in Longjing Village were stunned and looked at the mahogany coffin in confusion.

Soon, the voice from inside the coffin sounded again, this time even with fear in his voice, he said, "I can't stand his bow."
