Chapter 120: Shocking All Directions

Under the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Tangs, a set of table and chairs were arranged. This setup was meant for the teacher-apprentice ceremony. According to the elder Tang's wishes, since it was a ceremony to take an apprentice, they would adhere to the formal procedure for such a ceremony. Three kneelings and nine kowtows, offering tea, and greeting with a traditional bow—none of these steps could be omitted.

At this moment, the elder Tang and his three sons were all standing upright under the memorial tablets of their ancestors, with the elder at the front and his sons lined up behind him. Each of them held three sticks of incense, one bow, two bows, and three bows. Their expressions were solemn as they offered incense with a devout heart.

"Distinguished guests," said the elder Tang with a grave expression, "Today is a blessed day for Tang Ru, a blessed day for the Tang family, and even more so, a blessed day for the ancestors of the Tang family."
