Chapter 14 Ancestral Hall
Chapter 14 Ancestral Hall
The ancestral hall of the Ye family, in the center of the inner courtyard, is an independent small courtyard, the big house in the middle is dedicated to the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Ye family, and the back room of the big house is a showroom, hanging the portraits and deeds of those ancestors who have been brilliant, and there is also a family tree. 】
Ye Kong was not in a hurry to go to the ancestral hall, because Ye Wei told him that he could go home and say goodbye to Chen Jiuniang before thinking about it, and there were rules for thinking about the ancestors, and he couldn't be dirty, so he could come out every five days, wash his hair and take a bath and sleep well.
Ye Wei said that he was also imprisoned by his father many years ago, and the most difficult thing was the night, which was very eerie and terrifying, and there was no place to sleep, so he had to kneel, and in addition, he couldn't go out of Yefu during the period of thinking.
Ye Kong didn't care about these things, he watched too many ghost movies, as long as there were no real ghosts, he was not afraid, as for not being able to leave the house, he didn't plan to go out in the first place.
The only thing that is depressing is that it would be nice if I could get that book of cultivating immortals.
However, Ye Kong didn't mention the scriptures to Ye Wei, just now he had already shown too much concern about the treasure book, if he continued to stare at it, others would be suspicious.
When the time comes, the simplest question, how do you know these square words? Which book, take a look? Dreaming about it? It's.
Okay, no matter what, go back and say goodbye to the old lady and think about it, as long as that book is in the Ye family, it will be easy to do, and there will always be a chance to get it.
Ye Kong thanked his eldest brother, walked out of the inner courtyard quickly, returned to the small courtyard where he lived, and found that there was an uninvited guest here.
The person who came was the third wife, it is said that these wives never came here, even if they wanted Chen Jiuniang to do the work, that is, to send a maid and an old mother to send it, why did the three wives deign to come here in person today?
Seeing Ye Kong come back, the third wife naturally praised Ye Kong hypocritically, Chen Jiuniang was already flattered, how could she see the third wife so kind and pleasant on weekdays?
The third wife's next words made Ye Kong understand her intention, she was here to reveal the news, saying that if it weren't for the second wife's previous stop, Ye Kong would probably have followed the immortal cultivation by now.
Dare to love this woman is specially here to provoke, although Ye Kong hates the second wife in his heart, but he does not want to be used as a gunman by the third wife.
So Ye Kong said to the old lady that he was going to think about his ancestors, and then took a few thicker clothes and left his small courtyard.
On the way to the Ye family ancestral hall, Ye Kong found that the discussion behind him had changed again.
"Hey, do you know the Dao? Today, the immortals came to the Ye family to accept apprentices, and after selecting the old man for a long time, only one of them has the qualification of an immortal. ”
"Who's lucky?"
......"Ahh......h Why didn't he go with the immortals?"
"Ha Luha, you don't know what to do, although he has qualifications, but he is the most rubbish qualification, so bad that the gods can't help but laugh, it's a shame. ”
"That's right, garbage is garbage, he's a garbage in the first place, and it's even more shameful than people who don't have qualifications. ”
"Ha Luha, who said it wasn't, now that I've been punished to the ancestral hall, I've thought about it. ”
"The day he is an immortal. Sooner or later, I'm going to slap your mouth!" Ye Kong scolded in his heart, turned around and sneered at the two families, and walked away leisurely with his arms dangling.
When he came to the Ye family ancestral hall, Ye Kong found a strange phenomenon, he saw that there were many soldiers surrounded by the ancestral hall, and the defense was tight, and he didn't understand why the ancestral hall wanted to send so many soldiers to guard, could it be that someone came to steal the spiritual position of the ancestor of the Ye family?
Although Ye Kong was strange, he didn't ask, he walked over with the coat he wore at night, and was just about to enter the door, just when he saw Ye Haoran striding out from inside.
What is he doing here? Come to me? See if I have come? Ye Kong was puzzled for a while, and hurriedly turned to the side to make way out.
Ye Haoran was obviously angry, walked up to Ye Kong, snorted coldly, and then walked quickly.
He didn't come to me, so what did he come for?
Ye Kong lowered his head, pondered, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the heavily guarded ancestral hall.
To say that this ancestral hall is different from other rooms, it is gloomy and cool in the daytime, and after entering the house, there is a feeling of jumping into the cold water.
"This ...... It can't really be a ghost, right?" Ye Hollow was furious in his heart, and he was depressed in his heart, there were so many people outside, why was there no one inside?
If it was on Earth, Ye Kong would definitely laugh three times, no ghost is afraid of hair. But in this Cangnan Continent, it's really hard to say whether there are ghosts or not.
He walked in lightly, only to see that the center of the ancestral hall was a circle surrounded by a white marble railing, and the middle of the circle was also a circle carved with white jade, how to describe it, it was a little similar to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
Outside a circle of railings, in the middle of a granary-type building, the difference is that in the middle of Beijing is a tall prayer hall, the Ye family is a tower-like object carved by white jade, and there are countless ancestral tablets of large and small heights and lows.
"This Ye family is really thriving!" Ye Kong was surprised to find that this spiritual tower was not all of the Ye family's ancestors, this spiritual tower was only dedicated to all the long houses of the Ye family, that is, the powerful people of the Ye family in the past dynasties, or the celebrities and officials of the Ye family.
And more of the spiritual seats of the Ye family branches are placed on the platform against the wall of the big house, and there are more of them, looking at the past, densely packed, and the middle is dotted with everlasting lamps, which are grits.
The tall and solid walls, the eerie wind flowing in the empty space, there was no one in sight, but it was full of dead people's spiritual positions, even Ye Kong, the bold king, couldn't help but be creepy, didn't dare to breathe loudly, and slowly walked in with his heels......
"Ye Kong. ”
"Oh my mother!" Ye Kong was frightened by the sound behind him, and when he looked back against the wall, he saw an old man with an old-fashioned face standing at the door of the ancestral hall.
"Oh, yes, sir. Ye Kong found that it was Zhang Wude, and hurriedly greeted him, "Mr. came in to speak." ”
"No, Ye Family Ancestral Hall, it's inconvenient for me to enter as an outsider. Zhang Wude still had that expressionless old face, and said with a few books in his hand, "I heard that you are going to face the wall, so I will send you a few books." ”
Although Zhang Wude's face was expressionless, and his tone was as flat as before, Ye Kong felt warm in his heart.
"Mr. Xie Luxie. Ye Kong took the book and found that most of them were poems and songs, and there were also two books on foreign objects and strange things.
Zhang Wude looked at Ye Kong, his eyes slowly gentle, and said, "I just heard about you, since you don't have a good spiritual root, then you don't have to think about the immortals, it's better to learn poetry with peace of mind." ”
Although Ye Kong didn't think so, he couldn't refute the people who really cared about him, so he nodded.
Probably seeing Ye Kong's thoughts, Zhang Wude suddenly waved his sleeves, reached out and touched Ye Kong's head, and sighed, "Child, in fact, it's not a bad thing not to cultivate immortals...... Do you think that mortals are cruel to live in the cold world? But in fact, among immortal cultivators, that is the real cruelty, killing people to seize treasures, killing people for fun, killing each other for a word, these are all very normal, slowly you will also become cruel, become ruthless, for some so-called treasures, morality, shame, and even the lives of relatives, you can ignore it, Mr. does not want you to become such a person. ”
Ye Kong felt that Zhang Wude's words were very touching, and raised his head and asked, "Sir, why do you know so much about the affairs between immortal cultivators? Are you also an immortal?"
Zhang Wude shook his head, "Even if I have a spiritual root, I won't embark on this path." ”
Obviously, Zhang Wude has a story, but people can't help it if they don't want to tell it.
Ye Kong said again, "Sir, no matter whether I am in the immortal realm or the mortal realm in the future, and whether I will have a bright future, but I will never give up my attachment to good and evil, nor will I compromise with any strength and temptation!"
Zhang Wude, who had never had an expression on his face, actually smiled, touched Ye Kong's head and smiled, "Don't give up and don't compromise, be good, you're a good boy." ”
"Hey, buddy isn't a kid!"
After Zhang Wude left, Ye Kong walked into the back of the ancestral hall with the book, found a foreshadowing, and placed it under the largest candle to pass the time.
However, Ye Kong was really not interested in those poems, and finally turned up the spirit object chronicle, which recorded the characteristics of many spirit beasts and spirit grass, of course, Ye Kong purely thought it was fun, and he didn't expect it to be of much use, because according to the records in the book, ninety percent of these spirit beasts and spirit grasses were extinct.
In the evening, there were soldiers outside shouting that they were eating, and they still had to eat in the ancestral hall, so they ate with the soldiers, for the other young masters, the food here was called coarse tea and light rice, but for Ye Kong, the food here was better than at home.
"Is this pork? Why is it so fragrant, and it's still very strong to eat!" Ye Kong asked, gnawing on a big bone.
The leader of the soldiers was a centurion, named Liu Changqing and said with a smile, "Eighth Young Master, you don't know what to do, this is the meat of the iron-skinned man-cow, don't look at the skin of the iron-skinned man-cow on the outside is like iron, don't mention how fragrant the meat inside is." ”
"Oh, it's hard to hit, right?" Ye Kong asked in surprise.
"Of course, this is a medium-grade spirit beast. Liu Changqing said proudly, "If I hadn't happened to hit it when I came from the camp this time, the big guy wouldn't have tasted it." ”
There is also a difference between wild beasts on this Cangnan continent, generally pigs and sheep belong to poultry and domestic animals, only beasts, or spirit beasts, are divided into top order, upper level, middle level, lower level, and no order. Between each stage, it is divided into the best, the upper grade, the middle grade, and the lower grade.
Generally speaking, (7) a non-order spirit beast refers to a spirit beast that has not cultivated, just like a human, it has no spiritual root, and it does not carry innate spells.
But there is no spell, these spirit beasts are also very powerful, some have brute force, some have toxins, and some are big, in short, this kind of spirit beast can be dealt with by ordinary people, but it is not easy to deal with.
As for the order-level spirit beasts, they are not something that ordinary people can deal with, so they have to be immortal cultivators, but that kind of spirit beasts will not appear on the street, because they also cultivate, and they will also soar, and when they reach the upper level, they will open their spiritual wisdom, and when they reach the top level, they can transform into human form.
And this kind of iron-skinned brute bull belongs to a rankless mid-grade spirit beast, thinking that this centurion can kill a rankless mid-grade spirit beast, it is estimated that it is not simple.
Ye Kong nodded and praised, "General Liu's martial arts are superb, and we will also enjoy it." ”
Liu Changqing was called a general by Ye Kong, and his heart was refreshed, and at this time, a soldier next to him smiled and said, "Eighth Young Master, don't listen to him brag, how hard the iron beast is, how big is it, if he didn't happen to meet the seriously injured iron beast, even if General Ye led people out of the horse, he might not be able to do it." ”
Liu Changqing's face turned red and said angrily, "Whether you are seriously injured or not, you can taste the smell of iron-skinned cattle today, it's always because of me." ”
The soldier didn't scare him, and said, "There are a few brothers who are injured." ”
Ye Kong saw their argument and hurriedly persuaded, "Then who, don't say it, no matter what, General Liu can be regarded as improving the food for everyone, Ha Luha, General Liu, don't be angry, that brother is also distressed that a brother is injured, everyone should say less, ah, drink wine, eat meat." ”
