The autumn morning breeze blew, and Wei Lai blinked and fell silent.

Wang Daoan obviously didn't expect his request to make Wei Lai so "embarrassed", he paused, and after a while of silence, he said: "The old man knows that this matter is a bit abrupt, but ......"

Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Lai, only to see the young man smile bitterly and shake his head: "But I don't know how to plant trees." ”

This time it was the old man's turn to be stunned, and when he reacted, the old man's face showed a look of crying and laughing: "It's old and confused, the words haven't been clear, son, please come with me." ”

After the old man said this, he turned around and led Wei Lai towards the depths of Tonglin, Wei Lai was puzzled in his heart, but he still followed the old man's steps.

......

Throughout the northern border, among all the major clans, their own ancestral temples will be set up to worship their ancestors. If the clan is prosperous enough, the dead ancestors are cultivated enough, relying on the incense of the descendants, the dead ancestors can also manifest in the world like the yin god, although there is no court canonization of the god can receive the incense, but can also continue to protect the descendants, to ensure the longevity of the family, this yin god is called the ancestral god. However, even if Da Yan is hot now, and almost controls half of the Jin family's relatives, the ancestral gods in the ancestral temple are only five fingers.

The requirements for the birth of an ancestral god are extremely high, not only does the clan need to be prosperous enough, but also the cultivation of the dead ancestors needs to be at least seven realms or more before they can manifest into an ancestral god.

Therefore, for most clans, the best way to support the ancestral gods is to have their own ancestral temple.

But Sheji is a thing of the emperor's family, and the emperor is willing to share the luck and incense with others, unless the ancestors of that family have really made immortal achievements. And throughout Dayan, a hundred years since the founding of the country, there are only two people who can have this honor - one is Chu Lantian, the Marquis of Chu, who recaptured the land of Mangzhou that had been lost for 80 years from the hands of Ghost Rong thirty years ago, and the other is the ancestor of the Yu family who has the skill of supporting the dragon.

Both of them were valued by Emperor Yan at that time, and they were sealed as wolves, and they also gave Sheji incense and allowed the construction of Sheji ancestral temples, so that their ancestors could enjoy the Sheji incense of this Great Yan with the royal family.

But the good times did not last long, fifteen years ago, the Marquis of Chu was beheaded outside the city of Tailin, and the Chu family had no survivors except for a widow, and the candidate and the ancestral temple were naturally recovered by Emperor Yan with the death of the Marquis of Chu. Now in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, only the Yu family of Gutong City is left with this honor.

It was just getting dark.

The lord of the ancient Tongcheng city, Yu Jiahouye, came to the ancestral temple alone - as an ancestral temple, especially the Sheji Ancestral Temple, which is coveted by all clans in the world, this covers an area of only a few zhang, and the whole body is made of ordinary paulownia wood, which is really difficult to associate with the Sheji Ancestral Temple.

Yu Tong pushed open the door of the ancestral temple, perhaps because it had not been taken care of for a long time, the door made a hoarse sound when it was pushed open, and the dust fell from the top of the door, Yu Tong coughed a few times, stretched out his hand and waved in front of him to disperse the dust.

Only then did he look up at the temple, and the morning light shone into the deep ancestral temple along the lintel he opened, and the furnishings in the ancestral temple were more leaky than the ancestral temple itself, a dusty desk with two candlesticks on it, a copper tripod without incense candles, and a porcelain bowl for placing tributes, but the porcelain bowl was also empty. Behind the desk is a wooden altar, three solitary tokens, lined up from top to bottom, and the tokens are also covered with dust for a long time, so that under the thick dust, it is difficult to make out the handwriting on it. If there is really anything strange in this ancestral temple, it is the knife that is hidden in the sheath and is also covered with dust by hanging above the three spirit tablets.

The land of the ancestral temple is a pure place, a resting place for the ancestors, and the placement of the blade is unknown, not to mention that the blade is still above the three spirit tablets.

Yu Tong was not surprised by everything in this ancestral temple, he walked slowly to the spiritual platform of the ancestral temple, stood still and swept his gaze from bottom to top, but he had no intention of taking care of everything in this temple.

He stood like this, motionless, his gaze silent, just like the three equally silent spirit tablets.

After a while, when he was nearly thirty years old, the little marquis, who was a little sloppy, finally decided to break the silence.

He said, "You are dying." ”

At that moment, a dark aura surging in the ancestral temple came from all directions like a surging tide, rushing towards the three spirit tablets, and the three figures also slowly emerged in the spirit cards at that time.

"Your Majesty still refuses to let go of my Yu family?" The figure at the bottom of the three figures sighed at that time, and said quietly.

"Hmph! Yuan Tong's temperament is suspicious, especially his father, do you think that Taoguang can live a stable life? You must know that under this ancient Tong City, there is a dragon vein buried in my Yu family!" The figure in the middle snorted coldly, his voice was loud, and his temperament seemed to be quite irritable.

"Dad, others don't know, don't you know? What kind of dragon vein is that, it has already turned into a yin dragon!" said the person in the lower position.

"Little rabbit cub, I don't know it's the Yin Dragon yet? The question is does the Yuan family know? I guess they know too, but they just don't want our Yu family to have a good time!" said the middle man angrily.

Yu Tong stood there, quietly listening to the quarrel between his father and grandfather, his expression calm, like an outsider listening to the scolding of a shrew on the street.

"If you want me to say, my father shouldn't have handed over the military power back then, let's fight with his Yuan family, I can't tell who is the surname of these four states now?" said the middle man again.

"Dad, aren't you just messing around! Grandpa even if he really won the Yuan family back then, the dragon vein that has swallowed 100,000 yin souls is connected to my Yu family's luck, and now there is still Tongshu Town, if my Yu family wins the world, and the Yin Dragon gets luck, once it is born, don't say that the land of the four states, that is, the entire northern realm, I am afraid that it will be ruined!" The person in the lower position sighed, a little helpless.

When the middle man heard this, he immediately became angry: "So what!? It's better than being so aggrieved now! And you kid, Lao Tzu handed over the Yu family to you, you don't give me a branch and leaves, and now it's fallen into this world, you grandma still has the face to fight with you Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I beat you to death this unfilial son!"

The subordinate sighed again and reminded, "Dad, I'm already dead. ”

"You!" the middle man was angry for a while, and he was about to scold angrily.

"Tong'er. But at this time, the person who stood at the top of the spiritual platform and had not spoken for a long time after his manifestation suddenly called. The voice was low, not as loud as the first two, but as soon as these words came out, the two immediately stopped and fell silent.

"What's the situation?" the figure asked softly, looking down at the man standing in front of the ancestral temple.

Yu Tong raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes swept over his father and grandfather blankly: "Enough of the quarrel?"

When the two of them heard this, they immediately showed anger, but because of the people in the upper position, they didn't dare to attack, so they could only glare at Yu Tong viciously.

Yu Tong didn't care about this, he smiled slightly, and looked at the person at the top. He said with a slump look on his face.

"It's only three or four days' work, and the emperor's decree to cut me off the throne will be delivered, and this ancestral temple will have to be taken back together, and you will naturally not be able to survive at that time. ”

Once the ancestral temple is recovered, even if these three ancestral gods are cultivated in front of them, but without the support of social luck, the bodies of the three yin gods will not last for a few days and will disperse.

"What a big deal is this, although we are still living as ancestral gods for the time being, but in fact we are caged birds imprisoned here, life and death have long been looked down, but death is happy!" The middle man said loudly, and seemed to feel still angry, and glanced at the son under him, and added: "It's just right, so as not to stay with the rabbit cub every day, and the whole day! ”

"Daddy!" the man below him called out helplessly.

"I expected this day on the day I handed over the military power, but I didn't expect that the Yuan family would be more anxious from generation to generation, and the generation would be more and more ugly. The old man in a high position didn't bother to pay attention to the quarrel of his children and grandchildren, he sighed and whispered to himself.

"However, as Ling'er said, we have long looked down on life and death, so Tong'er, don't worry about it. The old man said again.

Yu Tong smiled, noncommittal to the old man's relief, he raised his eyebrows and continued: "The head of the Hu family died a son, three years old, who died in Tonglin. ”

"Huh?" the old man wondered, wondering why his great-grandson would suddenly mention such an irrelevant matter.

"Hu Fuxing, the head of the Hu family, used this as an excuse to let me cut down the ancient tong forest outside the city. Yu Tong continued.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three Yin Gods sank, and the person in the middle position even pointed to the person in the lower position and scolded: "What the hell do I say about the people who come here! The group of people in the Hu family have backbones in life, and they are all white-eyed wolves. I told you not to marry the woman surnamed Hu, but you didn't listen. I've only been fucking dead for three years, and you married her back home, and the Hu family took advantage of the situation to become bigger, and now it's going to fall into the well and bite us. ”

"Dad, this has nothing to do with Yun'er!" said the next person in a disgruntled voice.

Yu Tong immediately fell silent, and continued to listen with interest to the noise that had become a daily routine between the two.

"Shut up!" Fortunately, the old man in the upper position couldn't listen to it, and let out an angry reprimand, and the two of them immediately died down.

"Tong'er, have you made it clear to them what's at stake?" the old man looked at Yu Tong, and his expression instantly became gentle, just like the way he treated his children and grandchildren.

Yu Tong shrugged his shoulders: "Gutong City is only this acre and three points of land, no matter how big the Hu family is, at best, it is a bully in Gutong City, I have been staring at it in the past few years, they can't do things that go too far, but recently it has been abnormal, plus there are many more faces in Gutong City these days, I think there must be someone behind the Hu family's actions." Even so, even if he explained this matter to him clearly, he couldn't give the Hu family the bargaining chips he wanted, and they still had to do what to do. ”

The old man fell silent, and after a long time, he looked at his great-grandson again, and said earnestly, "Tong'er...... The Yin Dragon can't be born!"

"I know. Yu Tong replied with a relaxed expression.

"Then what are you going to do, once the ancestral temple is destroyed, we won't be able to help you, and those evil wolves who have coveted the Yin Dragon for a long time will rush up......," the old man said slowly in a heavy voice.

Yu Tong raised his head, and the lazy look on his face converged.

At that time, the morning light was shining through the door, and the golden light fell on the side of the man's face, as if gilded with golden light. His eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "I want to ask the ancestral sword to come out of the temple." ”
