Although they had Long Tianhao's cooperation, they were pressed for time.
The day of rebuilding the ancestral mausoleum was coming, and they couldn't postpone it, lest it would attract the attention of the outside world.
Everything went as planned after she had almost recovered from her injuries and could wear a heavy ceremonial dress.
Before dawn, she was bathed in incense with the help of four girls.
The ceremonial dress was very complicated, and there were nine kinds of accessories on it.
From the top of the head to the soles of the feet, everything was exquisite.
She roughly estimated that these accessories alone weighed more than ten kilograms.
Similarly, the effect was also dignified and imposing, completely suppressing the natural beauty and charm of her appearance.
The dignity and elegance hidden deep in her bones could completely set off this gorgeous ceremonial dress.
"Master, it's almost time. I'll go to prepare with Baisu."
After Cai Ru helped her put on an Eight Baby Elephant Flower Necklace, she bowed and respectfully withdrew.
Although they knew that no one would dare to make trouble today, they still dared not to relax.
The accident of their master being burned was a warning for everyone.
They had to ensure the safety of their master, otherwise their existence would be meaningless.
Lin Mengya couldn't move freely because of the golden crown on her head, so she had to remind them.
"Be careful, and don't force yourself!"
The person behind the scenes was very vicious, and the layout was so deep that it was impossible to guard against it.
She didn't want her people to suffer any more losses.
The two nodded and left quietly.
In the first ray of morning light, Gong Ling, who was dressed in new clothes, knelt outside the main courtyard with all the people.
Lin Mengya came in a purple and gold ceremonial dress.
Beside her, a low ceremonial music sounded, and the stone road in front of her was sprinkled with all kinds of precious spices.
Countless people knelt on the ground. At this moment, they finally saw the Lord who had been passed down from generation to generation!
Except for the ceremonial music, no one spoke.
Although she had no good feelings for these people, at this moment, she also felt their reverence and loyalty to the master.
However, what they offered was not a person, but an identity.
Perhaps they were pathetic, and even quite hateful sometimes.
However, this was the life that they had chosen for themselves. If they were abandoned one day, or the master that they had sincerely served no longer needed them, these people would probably completely collapse.
Faith could be invincible, but at times, it could also be extremely fragile.
Finally, she reached the family temple at the back of the mountain.
There were no gods here, only generations of Gong Family Patriarchs.
The process of worshipping the ancestors was very complicated. Even though she was prepared, she was still sweating profusely.
However, his posture was still very good, and he did not show the slightest bit of fear. His movements were also graceful and smooth.
In the end, she personally added to the grave.
Great-grandfather had personally requested for the date and time.
Now that he thought about it, he was in perfect condition, not a single point off.
However, the Gong Family had only renovated their ancestral tombs on the outside. Furthermore, there were guards around the tombs, so they would definitely not give them the chance to destroy the ancestral tombs.
After she broke through the soil, Gong Ling stepped forward and took over the tools in her hands.
"Patriarch, you've worked hard. Please take a rest."
Lin Mengya had tried her best to maintain her composure throughout the ceremony. Now, it was finally a success.
She nodded and led the group into the family temple.
Just now, she did not have time to look around, but now she could see clearly.
This place could also be called magnificent, but there was no stone statue in the middle, except for the Patriarch's memorial tablet.
There were two ear chambers behind the memorial tablet. Later, she would personally send the offerings prepared by Gong Ling into the ear chamber.
She had been trying to guess where the secrets that had been coveted and hidden were hidden.
Today, she had the opportunity to find out.
"Patriarch, the offerings are ready. Who are you going to bring to send them?"
Gong Ling walked to her side and asked.
She glanced at them. Although there were a lot of things, everyone looked a little expectant.
It seemed that they felt that it was a great honor to send something to the Old Ancestor.
She thought for a while and said, "You can arrange it, but they must be mature and steady. Don't make any mistakes."
"Okay, don't worry, Patriarch!"
Gong Ling thought that she was being cautious, but Lin Mengya only thought that if there were still brainwashed spies among the younger generation, wouldn't she be looking for trouble for herself?
After a while, Gong Ling picked out a small team of 20 people.
They were 10 men and 10 women, all over 40 years old, and they were quite famous in the family.
The rest of the people were also envious, not to mention the twenty people who couldn't hold back their smugness.
Lin Mengya rubbed her forehead. What kind of bad hobby did her Old Ancestor have?
Seeing that it was almost time, Gong Ling personally led the way.
At this time, Baiji and Baizhi could not follow them. After all, they were not members of the Gong family, nor were they slaves who had signed a death contract.
They looked at her worriedly, but she gave them a look to calm down.
She was only going to the ear chamber. Moreover, Long Tianhao, the Jackdaw Guards, and the Gong family's guards were outside.
There shouldn't be too much of a problem.
According to the rules, she led the group to the ear chamber in the east.
Gong Ling skillfully turned on the mechanism of the ear chamber. The battle a few days ago did not leave any traces here.
The ear chamber was very spacious. Apart from the stone table where the offerings were placed, there was only a bronze incense burner.
Lin Mengya went to burn incense to tell the ancestors that this was a gift from the younger generation.
"Master, do you want to stay here alone for a while?"
Gong Ling asked in a low voice. Lin Mengya was puzzled. Gong Ling immediately explained, "This is the rule of the Gong family. It is said that the spirits of the ancestors can communicate with you."
Lin Mengya felt goosebumps. How could she communicate with the dead?
Since it was a rule, she could not break it.
Moreover, she needed time to find out what other secrets were hidden here.
"Alright, you can leave first."
She tried her best to put on a solemn expression. After everyone left, Gong Ling quietly told her where the mechanism to open the stone door was.
Until now, she was almost sure that as the family servants and tomb keepers of the Gong family, this branch of the Gong family, did not know the real secret.
It was only because they were too fanatical about the Gong family that people outside thought that they knew the ultimate secret.
But even a fool would know that humans were the most fickle creatures.
If one generation trusted the wrong person, wouldn't they be uprooted?
The Gong family had been planning for many years. How could there be such a mistake?
However, he was just trying to mislead them.
She took off her heavy coat in a few steps, revealing the small cotton-padded jacket inside.
It was not too cold in the tomb, which made her feel a little strange.
Normally, in an ordinary ancient tomb, even the ear chamber would be filled with a threatening chill.
But here, there was no such gloomy feeling at all.
Could it be that it was really because of their bloodline affinity?
She could reach the end of the ear chamber in a few steps. She did not dare to make too much noise, so she had to touch all the places she could find with her hands.
Her sense of touch was very acute, and if there was a mechanism or something, nine times out of ten it could not escape her eyes.
Finally, she came to the door that sealed the passage of the tomb.
On the stone door, there was a carving of the grave-guarding beast of the tomb passage.
The grave-guarding beast did not look ferocious. Instead, it looked a little peaceful, more like an auspicious beast.
She touched the pattern on it inch by inch, but unfortunately, the stone door was tightly closed, and there was no possibility of opening it.
She took a step back and looked at the stone door, thinking.
If the ancestors of the Gong family really put the secret in the tomb, then in order to ensure that the person who got the secret was their descendant, they must set up a mechanism that could be easily identified.
She looked at her slender fingers. It couldn't be that he was going to use her blood again, right?
But where should she use it?
Such a big door, even if she bled dry, it would not be enough to brush one side.
Thinking about this problem, Lin Mengya was gradually attracted by the pattern on the door.
Because the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt the grave-guarding beast.
If the grave-guarding beast could retract its claws and fangs, then its huge body would be a little smaller, and finally, it would be best if it could roll or something …
Lin Mengya looked at the grave-guarding beast without expression, but in her heart, she complained about the inhumane aesthetic of her ancestors.
This was not a beast! It was clearly a big black cat! It was the same as Blackie, who often sucked her catnip on the spot!
Could it be that the cat slave gene was also passed down from the ancestors?
But soon, she found something unusual.
In appearance, the Mu Gu beast could be distinguished from ordinary cats by a pair of cat eyes.
For example, ever since her Little Black followed her and sucked her blood, its pair of cat eyes had turned into a brilliant purple.
But the Mu Gu beasts here had sunken eyes.
She stretched out her hand and touched it, but her fingertips hurt.
She immediately withdrew her hand, but she saw a small spike suddenly appear.
After she withdrew her hand, the spike also retracted, but her fingertips were stained with blood.
After a while, she only heard a sound of a machine turning, which made her teeth ache.
The closed door of the tomb passage suddenly opened to her.
Lin Mengya sucked the wound on her finger and looked inside warily.
The deep tomb passage was like a time-traveling machine, so people could not see clearly where it led to and what dangers they would encounter.
She took a deep breath, but suddenly found that the air in the tomb passage was not turbid and suffocating, and even had some fragrance of plants.
This made her even more curious. Was this really the ancestral mausoleum of the Gong family?
With doubts, she pulled out the candlestick in the ear chamber and stepped into the dust-covered tomb passage step by step.
In the darkness, her footsteps were particularly clear.
Lin Mengya touched the wall and walked forward. Her curiosity overwhelmed her fear.
Moreover, she had never been alone.
