Dead wood has roots and thousands of branches, and the empty shrine is prosperous without fragrance!

Seeing this ancestral hall, Su Chen suddenly understood the meaning of Xiao Shengxing's poem.

Vasiba is a place of immigration, that is, the ancestral land of many people, and the descendants are scattered all over the country, which is in line with the saying that dead trees have roots and thousands of branches, and the empty ancestral hall refers to the ancestral hall in front of you.

The ancestral hall is made of bluestone, and there is an iron lock on the door.

"This door is locked, but the key is at Uncle Liu's, let's go to Liu's house to get it. ”

The Liu family mentioned by Tuozi is a family next to the ancestral hall, a relatively simple wooden house, and at this moment, a stall has been set up in front of the wooden house with stools and wooden boards, on which some incense, candles, paper money and other goods are placed.

"Uncle Liu is a bachelor in our village, and he has been making a living by selling this, but because this ancestral hall is almost deserted, there are not many people who come here to buy things. ”

Tuozi shouted towards the door while introducing, "Uncle Liu, are you at home?"

Within seconds, there was a response from inside the door.

"Yes, wait a minute. ”

About a minute, a middle-aged man walked out of the door, looking at his forties, very simple peasant dress, when he saw Tuozi and Su Chen, he was stunned and said: "Which family's descendants, is this to buy incense to worship the ancestors, come and take a look." ”

"Uncle Liu. We didn't buy anything, isn't the key to this ancestral hall kept by you, we plan to go into the ancestral hall and have a look. ”

Tuozi's words made the middle-aged man silent for a few seconds, and then asked curiously: "There is nothing in this ancestral hall, and even the tablets have been taken away by each family." ”

"Brother Liu, just take it and smoke a cigarette. ”

Yin Leopard took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to the other party, and explained, "Let's just take a look, visit it, and make it convenient." ”

Liu Shanxi glanced at everyone again, but when his eyes were on Su Chen, he stayed for a moment, and then muttered: "Okay, but there are a lot of goods from me in it, don't touch them." ”

With his hand stretched out to his waist, Liu Shanxi took out the key tied to the belt of his trousers with a rope, and then walked to the door of the ancestral hall, opened the lock and pushed it open.

The door was pushed open, and Su Chen and the others saw at a glance some yellow paper incense candles placed in the courtyard, especially yellow paper, bundles of bundles, almost filling most of the open-air courtyard in the ancestral hall.

"Uncle Liu, you just put these yellow papers like this, you are not afraid of being dewed. ”

"You think I'm as lazy as you, I take it out to dry during the day and put it away at night. ”

Liu Shanxi glanced at the concubine, walked into the ancestral hall first, and walked straight towards the inside of the ancestral hall, followed by Su Chen and the others.

The whole ancestral hall is divided into two parts, the front is an open space, and an incense candlestick is placed in the middle, which is made of that kind of iron frame, and there are many sharp and long iron nails in the middle, which are used to insert incense candles on it.

In the corners on both sides of the door, there are two huge water tanks, almost one meter high, which are obviously prepared to prevent the ancestral hall from accidentally catching fire.

In the ancestral hall, Su Chen did not walk in, but stood in the center of the courtyard, that is, at the iron frame, and closed his eyes.

The earth crown is the essence of the earth's qi, except for the light that flashes in the early hours of the morning every day, there is no vision at ordinary times, so ordinary people can't feel it.

However, Su Chen has a way, this method was not taught to him by Old Man Tian, nor is it recorded in the Joy God Technique, but he learned it from an old ghost in the underworld, that old ghost was an earth master before his death, according to his own generation, there are no more than three people in the yang world who are higher than him in this area.

This old ghost was extremely proud at first, but after meeting Old Man Tian, he had no arrogance, and he was stubbornly pestered to worship Old Man Tian as a teacher, and he was not even willing to be reincarnated, but Old Man Tian said that he was not qualified to be an apprentice with low qualifications.

But this old ghost didn't give up, he stayed outside the door of Old Man Tian's house every day, Old Man Tian ignored him, but because of this, he was familiar with Su Chen, when he knew that Su Chen had learned Old Man Tian's skills, he called Su Chen the senior brother vigorously, and Su Chen also called the other party the second junior brother with a smile.

"The earth, generous, is not quiet. ”

"According to what my cheap junior brother said, the earth is not calm, but it is also moving, but this movement refers to the qi of the earth, mountains and rivers, plains and highlands, the ins and outs, all of which are in motion, but in different places, the speed and frequency of the movement of the earth's qi are different, and if you want to sense the earth's crown, you must first feel the direction and frequency of the earth's qi. ”

In the eyes of Yinli and a few people, Su Chen stood motionless in place, but if you look closely, you can actually find that Su Chen's feet are moving, but the frequency of movement is very slow, about ten seconds, and the heel is slightly raised, and the lifting amplitude may be less than a centimeter, and then it falls again.

"Uncle Liu, this is the paper man you tied, it's too foolish, this paper is too thin. ”

Liu Shanxi was putting some paper figures into the box in the ancestral hall, and when he heard this, he glared at the lump and scolded: "You know a hammer, the thinner this paper figure is, the better." ”

After saying this, Liu Shanxi's eyes swept over Su Chen, who was standing in the center of the courtyard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked curiously in a low voice: "Tuozi, tell me what these people are here for?"

"I don't know very well, it's my brother-in-law's friend, this is my brother-in-law's niece, those two are her classmates, as for this, my brother-in-law only asked me to call him Mr. Su, I don't know the rest. ”

"Sir?"

Liu Shanxi's dark face flashed thoughtfully, and he took the cigarette handed over by the tuozi and smoked, but when he was smoking, no one noticed that his right foot was like Su Chen, and it was slowly raised every once in a while.

When Liu Shanxi finished smoking a cigarette, Su Chen also opened his eyes, with a look of doubt on his face, just now he felt the qi of the earth according to the qi trick taught by his cheap junior brother, and he did feel it at first, but when he wanted to capture the frequency and movement of the qi of the earth, he found that the qi of the earth suddenly became chaotic.

Just like the surface of a calm lake, you can slowly feel the direction and speed of the water, but suddenly something falls down and mixes up the water, and the waves spread in all directions, and you can't feel it at all.

"Is it the self-protection of the earth crown?"

Su Chen denied this speculation, because neither Old Man Tian nor the cheap Senior Brother Ye had told him this, especially his own cheap junior brother, although there may be some braggart in his words, Su Chen still believed in his attainments in the field of earth master.

Suddenly, Su Chen turned his head suddenly, his eyes looked in the direction of the inside of the ancestral hall, Liu Shanxi, who was originally smoking a cigarette, did not expect Su Chen to suddenly turn around, and the hand that was holding the cigarette stiffened for a moment, and then he took a puff of the cigarette holder in his mouth as if nothing happened.

Looking at the other party's actions, Su Chen smiled, he didn't expect that he had looked away before.
