Chapter 168: The Secret of the Point of Light

Now it seems that the power of the incense is from the belief and worship of these people, and the only thing that he doesn't understand is that even if he inherits the inheritance of his previous father-in-law, he shouldn't have a sense of the sacrificial incense three thousand years ago.

According to the information left by the former land father, he proved himself as a land god in the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty and enjoyed more than 800 years of incense sacrifices. According to this calculation, it is also close to 3,000 years of history.

Even if these people believed in worship by their ancestors, shouldn't they also disappear with time? Why is it that I can still perceive those points of light and move freely back and forth between them?

Although he didn't know why the former land lord didn't leave him a memory of the incense wishing power, Li Chen was also a person who had obtained the inheritance of the Houtu after all, so he naturally knew that this situation was extremely abnormal.

The so-called "Kun Dao is obedient, inheriting the sky and going forward, accumulating good homes, there will be afterglow, accumulating bad homes, there will be aftermath, ten lifetimes and the end, attributed to cause and effect." ”

Whether it is doing good deeds or doing evil deeds, the impact will only last for ten lifetimes, and the cause and effect will be eliminated, which is the so-called heavenly escape. From this point of view, those points of light are extremely abnormal. Although it is a good thing for Li Chen now, he who has inherited the inheritance of Houtu knows that this kind of thing of enjoying other people's legacy, if he doesn't figure it out, it will be a time bomb, and God knows if he will bear any cause and effect that he can't repay.

Just as they were thinking about how to find an excuse to go to their ancestral shrine to check it out, they heard a few young people outside shouting loudly about Brother Da Niu.

"This is the second dog calling you, since everyone is waiting for you to sort out the ancestral shrine and collect the relics of the ancestors, you should go quickly, don't let the family wait too long because of the old woman." The old lady waved her hand at her son very gently, urging him to go out quickly.

Glancing at the old lady, knowing that he wouldn't be able to persuade him for a while, Jia Daniu had to nod helplessly, and hugged his fist at Li Chen, "Sir, please use it slowly, it's out of company." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out. Li Chen hurriedly picked up the bowl, drank it in one go, and hurriedly said goodbye to the old lady and chased it out.

Seeing that Li Chen then followed, Jia Daniu's expression was slightly prickly, although he was a little impatient with this scholar who talked a lot, he still asked politely, "Sir, are you leaving?" ”

"It's still early, so I'm not in a hurry to leave. I was warmly entertained by your mother and son just now, and I was thinking that I couldn't repay it, when I heard that you were going to tidy up the ancestral shrine, thinking that you were rough in writing and ink, and you also knew a little about the sacrifice, so I thought that maybe I could help a little, and asked this brother not to dislike it and make trouble. ”

Li Chen said very politely, he didn't say that he would agree, but said that he should not dislike it, which made the honest Jia Daniu difficult to say for a while. But the ancestral hall is an important place for the family, and people with foreign surnames have never been invited to enter, but the person in front of him is a scholar, and the people are out of enthusiasm, and the words are so polite, it is a little unkind to refuse again.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Ergouzi persuade, "Brother Niu, I think it's better to let this gentleman go with us." Brother Xiucai's leg was injured the day before yesterday, and he just couldn't come over, and several of us are illiterate, in case there is any omission, it will not be good to neglect the ancestors. ”

Jia Daniu thought about it, what Ergouzi said also made sense, since the other party is willing to help, then let him go, it's a big deal to thank him more afterwards. Thinking of this, he hugged his fist at Li Chen, and invited very politely, "Since this is the case, then it will be troublesome Mr." ”

Jia Daniu led Li Chen and seven or eight young people, and did not walk along the street towards the ancestral shrine at the east end of the village, but led a few people to the west. Seeing the expressions of the other young people as a matter of course, Li Chen didn't make a sound, just followed behind. After walking not far away, I saw a relatively complete house, but the courtyard wall had already collapsed. At this time, Jia Daniu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Motioned for a few people to wait, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Chen's consciousness swept away and he knew what was going on, because Li Chen, the person who lived inside, had an impression. It seems to be the old patriarch of this village, who recognized his identity as the land lord that day, and led the villagers to bow down to him. It's just that what Li Chen didn't expect was why this old man who was highly respected in the village didn't leave, but stayed like Jia Daniu's mother.

Although Li Chen looked dazed, everything in the room was clear. I saw the old patriarch holding the hand of the big cow and exhorting in a deep tone.

"Da Niu, our Jiajia Village has been living here since the end of the previous dynasty, and our ancestors have lived here for generations, and now people are moving away, and the old man has to stay and serve his ancestors. You kid has a real temperament, and you are a good man with responsibility, and the villagers in our village will entrust it to you in the future. Remember, no matter where we go in the future, our fellow villagers are our roots, and we must form a group, so that the roots of our old Jia family will not be extinguished. ”

Jia Daniu nodded solemnly, he knew that the old patriarch was more knowledgeable than himself, and since he was determined to stay, it was naturally not something he could persuade to move. When he opened his mouth, he seemed to want to say something, but before he could say anything, tears came down the size of a bean.

The old patriarch smiled instead, stretched out his palm full of old age spots, and patted Jia Daniu's shoulder.

"Silly boy, it is my blessing to be able to stay and serve the ancestors, what is there to be sad about, take the villagers to live a good life, if one day this place is stable, remember to come back and incense the ancestors."

Jia Daniu is a very big man, he was already crying and couldn't speak, just nodded vigorously. Li Chen couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, full of powerlessness. The attack of this strange beast is really a disaster for the common people. As the one who inherited the throne of the land here, he couldn't do anything about it, and he was really ashamed to say it.

"When you go to relocate the ancestral shrine, you must remember one thing." Speaking of this, the old patriarch suddenly subconsciously lowered his voice, "Do you remember that there is a shrine behind the ancestral shrine of our Jia family?" ”

Seeing what the old patriarch said solemnly, Jia Daniu also put away his tears, his expression became serious, and he nodded solemnly at the old man.

"When the patriarchs of our Jia family took over as the patriarch, they were all warned with the strictest warning, the shrine must be located in the middle of the shrine, and the ancestor shrine must be stored three feet below the right of the shrine. Although I don't know why, I must not forget the teachings of my ancestors. You must remember that no matter where you build an ancestral shrine in the future, you must not forget the rule of your ancestors. When he said this, the old patriarch's face showed a sacred color.
