"Superior?"

This was the second time Chen Xiu had heard this old man say this.

He couldn't help but frown.

And listening to his tone, it seems that this red rope has never come in handy, and it has always been idle.

Indeed, the red rope was wrapped around the table before, and it did not play a role there, but was more like a decoration.

But how can a high-ranking person leave a decoration that doesn't work here for no reason?

Could it be that the master had foreseen the catastrophe that would happen here today many years ago?

Specially left to protect the lives of all the villagers here?

It's weird!

It's mysterious, but it's not impossible.

After all, they are all said to be masters.

Even the mountain gods can't put their hands in here.

So, Chen Xiu planned to ask.

"Grandpa, you said that the red rope and the stone lion were left by the master, do you know who this master is?"

Chen Xiu asked politely.

"Who is the master?"

The old man shook his head:

"I don't know this, this ancestral hall has been cultivated for more than 200 years, and when I was cultivated, I was not even born!"

"However, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather once say that the master who built this ancestral hall was a Taoist priest with boundless power!"

The old man continued:

He said that when his wife and grandfather were still young, one day, two wandering Taoist priests came to their town!"

At that time, it was still a village, and the two Taoist priests were very strange at first, they begged for water and drink from door to house, and then begged for food from door to door!

At that time, it was a time of drought, flood and famine, and every household did not have much food in stock, but the villagers saw that both of them were monks, so they wanted to get married to them!

In the end, every family gave them some food, some gave bud grain steamed buns, some gave steamed buns, and some gave baked cakes!

His grandfather said that at that time, the Taoist priest received a total of 278 steamed buns!

So before leaving, the Taoist priest told them that as long as they built an ancestral ancestral hall on this treasure land, which is now the ancestral hall, and put two stone lions at the door of the ancestral hall, they could ensure that our town was in good weather for a total of 278 years!

"It's really been two hundred and seventy-eight years?"

Chen Xiu asked again.

"I don't know about this, you can go to the stone tablet outside to take a look, there is the time when the ancestral hall was built, but as far as I know, in the years that the old man has lived, our town has been really smooth!"

The old man said:

"There is a famine outside, and every family here has a good harvest, and when there is a drought outside, we have never been without water here!"

The old man's words surprised Chen Xiu.

He came to the door of the main hall again.

There is a large stone monument here.

On the large stone tablet are the names of the ancestors of all the families here.

And under the corner of the stele, there is really a time to settle the payment.

It was the seventh year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

So this year is the 278th year?

And the payment is July 20.

In other words, July 20 of this year is exactly the year 278.

Today is July 17.

July 20 is less than three days away.

Chen Xiu felt that this was definitely not a coincidence.

It's been planned for a long time!

After all, this year has never happened before.

"How many years is this year, young man?"

The old man asked again.

"In a few days, it will be exactly two hundred and seventy-eight years!"

Chen Xiu replied.

"Exactly?"

The old man took a heavy breath.

After a long sigh:

"It seems that this disaster is providential!"

"Ah, is it really the heavens that are going to destroy us?"

"It won't!"

......

After listening to the old man's words, everyone began to be worried again, and even a little panicked.

They believe in gods.

So when I heard the providence, I felt like the sky was about to collapse.

"Folks, we'll leave here tomorrow morning, so don't worry!"

Liu Song hurriedly stood up and comforted.

After that, he came to Chen Xiu's side again.

He asked in a whisper:

"Little brother, do you think there is any mystery or conspiracy in this?"

"I feel like this is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time!"

Chen Xiu frowned and said:

"But I still can't figure out what their purpose is!"

Yes, if there is a conspiracy, there must be a purpose.

And he felt that the purpose must be shocking.

Otherwise, it would not have been planned for a long time.

It's not even a good idea to take so many people's lives.

What exactly is the purpose?

It's a pity that he knows too little information.

The other side.

Wei Ming returned to the mountains and met the middle-aged man again.

"Master, no, the stone lion in the ancestral hall was broken, but there is another mystery, I can't attack it with the little ghost at all!"

Wei Ming said anxiously.

"Another mystery?"

This time, the middle-aged man opened his eyes.

As soon as he waved his hand, a picture of the ancestral hall appeared in front of him.

"Thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two earthly evil, 100 coins and red ropes?"

Seeing this thing, the middle-aged man's face was a little shocked.

No wonder his people can't get in.

This is a treasure, which can break the evil and turn evil, and stop in front of the ancestral hall, just like the one hundred and eight days of heaven and earth are guarding here.

"Master, how much are you still hiding from me?"

He waved his hand, and the image vanished.

He got up, turned his back to Wei Ming and closed his eyes.

"Did you expect this day a long time ago?"

He muttered.

"Master, what should I do?"

Wei Ming asked again.

"Look at me borrowing the heavenly fire, burning the ancestral hall with a fire, and burning everyone inside to death!"

The middle-aged man turned around.

His face was full of hideousness, and a strong killing intent quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Altar Practice!"

The middle-aged man said.

"Yes, master!"

Soon outside the palace, an altar was erected.

And the middle-aged man also changed into a robe at this time.

He took out a small red flag directly from the side.

He began to pinch the mantra in front of the altar and took a step.

At the same time, waving small flags in hand.

Thundered......

As the ritual progressed, one fiery red lightning bolt after another began to streak across the sky.

"Edict!"

With one last wave, the small flag in his hand pointed directly at the ancestral hall under the mountain.

Thundered......

Then, the fiery red lightning that had been brewing before fell one after another on the roof of the ancestral hall at the foot of the mountain or in the courtyard in front of the main hall, and even the stone tablet that was hundreds of years old was struck by lightning.

Moreover, wherever the thunder falls, a flame that will not be extinguished will be ignited, even on the dirt floor in the front yard of the main hall without any combustibles.

At this moment, a fire has also broken out on the top beam of this ancestral hall, and the fire is spreading extremely fast, and in a few breaths, the entire top of the ancestral hall has been lit with a fierce fire.

"Oh no, it's thundering!"

"Could it be that this is really going to kill us?"

"If we continue to burn like this, we will all be burned alive!"

"Open your eyes, God!"

......

This sudden heavenly fire.

made the people who were already panicked and worried, and the defense line in their hearts almost completely collapsed.

They began to think that it was really providence.

"Don't panic, everyone, it's not the sky that will destroy you!"

Chen Xiu said loudly:

"I have a way!"

This simply cannot be providential.

Rather, someone is casting a spell in the shadows.

I want to burn everyone alive.

"What can you do, young man?"

The old man before said again:

"That's it, this is all the will of heaven, and the will of heaven cannot be violated!"

"Don't be discouraged, this little brother must have a way!"

Liu Song persuaded loudly.

Chen Xiu came directly to the outside of the main hall.

"The disciple invites the north to turn the sky upside down and turn the sea Thunder Emperor, borrow me thunder, serve thunder and rain, and be as urgent as a law!"

Chen Xiu read silently.

Then in the sky, there was another sound of rolling thunder.

In the sky, dark clouds were thick.

It's black, and it looks like it's about to rain heavily.

Chen Xiu's trick is **.

This ** can be used for thunder and rain, and it can kill the evil dragon and demon.

Whoa......

In less than a minute, it was pouring rain.

The borrowed heavenly fire was also extinguished in a short time.
