After everyone walked out of the ancestral hall, after leaving, a sun bursting out of the sun in the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, the strange thing is that an old stone lion at the entrance of the ancestral hall fell to the ground with a hula, and a well inside the ancestral hall slammed, and a ball of blood and sticky yellow foam jumped out of it, and the whole ancestral hall was full of stinky smell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A flock of crows flew over like a triangle, and the urn on the ground was pasted with a drawing of "Nan Wu Da Ri Rulai Benshi", which fell off, and was blown by a gust of wind, and suddenly caught fire again, and a puff of white smoke came out of the urn.

There was a sound of popping from the paintings on the square table made of four patchwork, "Haha, we have finally come out, the people in the big clan soaked me like a pig cage and broke up the men and women in the world, don't think that I will let you go, I will let the children and grandchildren of the big clan die."

In the air in the center of the ancestral hall, a red robe as thin as silk and as cold as blood floated softly, and then all the little ghosts in this yin house shouted sadly.

At this time, Chen Xu walked out of the old village, and the relatives of the big clan also left, but his heart was beating suddenly at this time, and he felt very wonderful, and an idea came to his mind: I wanted to go back and see what else was going on in the old ancestral hall. But a person felt a little scared, so he talked to Ah Fu and said that he wanted to go over to see if there was anything delicious left in the ancestral hall, Ah Fu agreed, and walked in with him.

When he came to the door of the old ancestral hall, Chen Xu only saw a hole left on the gate of the old ancestral hall, and Ah Fu said: "The key to the gate is in the hands of the elders of the ancestors, and we can't get in." But you can look through this hole and see what is good in it. ”

The two of them were vying to see it first, but Chen Xu was clever and flexible, and he was preempted and lay on the door to watch it, but because the light was too dim, it was gray, and he only saw a big water tank not far in front of him, and the strange thing is that when he was cleaning inside, he found that the goldfish in the tank were all dead, but now a few red goldfish jumped out of the water, Chen Xu was trying to see clearly, I also saw that there was a long pink tongue licking the table where the sacrifices had been placed.

Chen Xuliang tugged at his eyes with two fingers, staring at him with wide eyes, and suddenly there was a pair of bloodshot white pupils full of hatred staring at him behind this hole.

"Wow, there are ghosts" Chen Xu and Ah Fu ran and stumbled out of the old village, their faces turned pale with fright.

Chapter 6: The Celestial Elves

Chen Xu's home is in Loushang Village, Hongshan Township, Zhuque County, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of devastation, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the alleys are muddy roads, and in a shallow ditch, there are mosquitoes, flies and gadflies "three-perched" places, and in front of it is a field, whenever the autumn harvest season, the peasant brothers in the upstairs village will always threh grain and ears of wheat here.

A few months after coming out of the ancestral hall, Chen Xu was still sitting on the threshold and looking at the streets and alleys where the morning sun was shining as usual, but this day Chen Xu's mind became much more solemn than usual, and he remembered a series of strange phenomena he felt in the ancestral hall, so he had palpitations and a sense of fear, but he still tried hard to tell himself, "None of this is true, maybe someone is making trouble and teasing him-----------。 ”

A cool and sad breeze blew, and the plane tree in his humble old house shook, poof, the paulownia flower fell, and there was a dog barking not far away, this dog is a pet that Chen Xu's family likes, very understanding and obedient, and is a well-known civet dog.

Chen Xu stroked the clothes on his body and coughed lightly, and the big black dog immediately knew that its owner was sitting on the threshold again, so he ran here with his tail flicked.

"Huanhuan, you're here, you're so good, you went there again in the morning, and I didn't feed you in the morning." Chen Xu stretched out his palm, and the black dog Huanhuan was also happy to go over and lick his fingers, rubbing Chen Xu's body and thighs with a thick fur.

Chen Xu looked at Huanhuan's tail with a few bells, walking or wagging his tail, all of them made a crisp sound, I don't know who got it, Chen Xu gently stroked Huanhuan's head and said, "Huanhuan, tell the master who knotted the bell on your tail." ”

Huan Huan seemed to understand what Chen Xu meant, curled up, and shouted towards the opposite side of Chen Xu's house, and Chen Xu immediately knew what was going on.

"It must be Wan Jiaojiao's knot, Huanhuan usually has the most fun with Wan Jiaojiao in addition to me, and she is also the most enthusiastic about her"

Speaking of this Wan Jiaojiao, she is Ah Fu's younger sister, as old as Chen Xu, and she is fifteen years old this year, she has always liked Chen Xu in her heart, and Chen Xu is also very interesting to her, it can be said that there are two people, one is affectionate and the other is intentional, Wan Jiaojiao is lively and smart, and her mind is very open, and she often chases Chen Xu and says, "Do you have a girl you like, is it me." ”

On the contrary, Chen Xu is more shy, whenever Huanhuan is present, Chen Xu likes to joke with him, "I have something I like more than you, I love him." At this time, Wan Jiaojiao was unhappy on her face, and pouted with a cherry pout, "You lied to me, who is it, tell me who it is", Chen Xu said mischievously: "It's Huanhuan." Wan Jiaojiao chased after him and flirted with him, and Huanhuan often added a few joyful sounds and screamed a few times.

Usually where Chen Xu goes, this cute and innocent Wan Jiaojiao will go with him to play wherever he goes, if Chen Xu sits on the threshold, Wan Jiaojiao will also squat on the threshold with him, sometimes watch the rooster on the neighbor leap up the wheat stack and cry under the morning sun, sometimes watch the sunset on the edge of the sky thinking of corals shining all over the green mountains. But I didn't see Wan Jiaojiao today, probably because there was something going on in his family, but at this time, Aunt Chen Xu came over.

On the ground of the inner room was a round and large stone bowl, on which was placed a wooden vertebrae cut from elm, which was Chen Xu's aunt to his son Chen Xu's favorite sauce cake, this time, at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Xu had not come over for breakfast, and Aunt Chen Xu knew that he was sitting on the threshold again and was stunned.

"Child, why are you sitting here in a daze, hurry up and go into the house, hurry up and wash your hands, eat breakfast, hurry up and make your favorite sauce cake."

"Mother, the child has something to tell you."

"What's the matter, you can talk about it at the dinner table?"

Chen Xu's eyes instantly turned red, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said, "Mother, a month ago, I saw the pastel painting of my father's life in the ancestral hall of the big clan. ”

Aunt Chen Xu rubbed the scarf on her waist, her face was full of sadness and affection, and said: "It's been so long, what are you mentioning him for, don't think nonsense, don't think about it, hurry into the house." ”

"No, mother, I didn't think nonsense, I was thinking about my father, you see, the spirit dog Huanhuan that my father brought from the Mazu bamboo forest in Qilin Town is eight years old, and my father is about to disappear for eight years, the child is not filial, and I can't share my mother's worries."

"Don't say it here, it's none of your business, maybe it's providence."

Chen Xu twitched and said: "No, man will win the day, my father disappeared when I was eight years old, and I never returned home, I also thought about him for eight years, and even thought about his voice and smile when I dreamed, I was afraid that one day his impression would fade in the memory of my mind, and I couldn't identify it, so I thought about it carefully, I want to go out to find my father, and ask my aunt to agree." ”

Aunt Chen Xu stood in place stunned, with tears streaming down her face, and said a little helplessly: "Child, I know that you are a filial child, but your father has been missing for so many years, I think if he is still alive, I think he will definitely not abandon this once warm home, and will definitely come back to reunite with his wife and children, maybe there has been no news over the years, your father, he must have suffered an accident, and if you leave like this, let Weiniang worry about you day and night at home, miss you, How can my aunt have the courage to face life, and besides, it's very dangerous outside, jackals are in charge, starvation is everywhere, if something happens to you, how can you explain to your grandparents who love you in the sky. ”

Although what Aunt Chen Xu said was reasonable, and even wanted to dispel Chen Xu's idea with a helpless tone, Chen Xu's idea was not caused overnight. After careful consideration, he saw that Aunt Chen Xu did not agree, "No."

No matter what Chen Xu said, Aunt Chen Xu resolutely refused to agree, Aunt Chen Xu looked at her resolute eyes, and she was still very scared in her heart, "This child wants to be stubborn, if he has an idea, he will be stopped by the chairman in person, but he will secretly implement it behind his back, no, I will interrupt his idea." ”

Aunt Chen Xu slowly helped Chen Xu on the ground up, and said: "Mother, poor child, I know that you are a good child, usually aunt burns charcoal in the coal kiln at home, you use two big winter melon baskets to pick up and sell in the market in Xilou Village, and the money earned is also a lot to the mother, such a filial child, the aunt does this for your sake, you just need to promise the aunt, the aunt will give you the only treasure left by your father, see you grow up, aunt can also rest assured." ”

Chen Xu wiped away a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes, opened his eyes wide and said, "Ah, what could it be, it was the only thing my father left, how could I not know." ”

Aunt Chen Xu took Chen Xu's sleeves, entered the old house, and went under a plane tree outside the court, then walked into an abandoned circle in the side room and brought an iron drill, an iron shovel and a hoe, Chen Xu looked at this pile of things in front of him, stared at him in a daze, and didn't ask anything, Aunt Chen Xu gently stroked his hair and said: "Child, don't say anything, listen to what my mother said, move the tile table under the plane tree, dig deep on it, and get what we want when we get to seven feet underground." ”

After Chen Xu and Chen Xu's aunt moved the tile table away, Chen Xu held the hoe, dug up the soil, and after a while, a small mound was piled up behind him, Chen Xu's hoe made a sonorous sound, and planed some roots of the plane tree, glass sheets, tin foil and eaves sawdust, stove carbon and soil ash.

However, when dug into the soil more than five feet deep, there are some bright and shiny yellow wax soils, which are delicate and smooth, loose and translucent.

"It's strange, when my father and I buried this treasure here, except for a piece of bluestone under the ground, it was gray soil, but now there is a shining yellow wax clay here, which is really strange." Aunt Chen Xu thought.

When the hoe in Chen Xu's hand was plowing the ground, there was a rush sound, and an iron piece of iron embedded in the wooden handle of the hoe fell off, and a wooden box made of pear blossom wood buried in the soil was knocked out of a small hole.

"Child, look at what was then, a bright light" I saw a beam of light rushing out of the wooden box, four or five feet long, the light was blocked by the gate of the toilet at the back, and it looked like a peacock opening the screen, or like a rice ear turning in the wheat field during the autumn harvest.

"Wow, it's really a rare treasure in the world, aunt, is the treasure left by my father the one that shines here." Chen Xu looked at the glow and covered the ground with something, as if the gurgling mountain spring was flowing.

Chen Xu opened his mouth wide, his eyes were full of surprise, and Aunt Chen Xu hurriedly squatted down, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, she seeped into half of her head, wrapped it in black gauze and hugged it.

This is definitely a magical treasure, Aunt Chen Xu carried it away from the small cave, as if the heart of this land was removed, and the whole tall plane tree, originally under the blowing of the cool breeze, bloomed with infinite vitality and greenery, but at this time flowers and leaves fell to the ground with a pop.

Chen Xu saw the changes in the environment, and finally understood that the treasures in this box were definitely not as simple as he imagined, and his eyes widened and he looked at it in amazement, feeling that everything was so unpredictable.

Aunt Chen Xu came back to her senses, looked around at the surrounding walls, the crack in the door and the backyard, whether the hall was someone peeking at what they were holding in their hands, if it was left in normal times, Aunt Chen Xu found out that there were thieves and thieves who came to take care of them in the middle of the night, and this big mansion was not as nervous as it is now.

At this time, the two mothers and sons were half-bent over, and the house was like a lake that could not turn a ripple at the moment, so shocked that even an embroidery needle fell to the ground, and a mouse that stole rice bran slipped by, and the two heard each other's hearts beating throbbing.

Aunt Chen Xu's body shook for a moment, and she hurriedly took the cuffs of Chen Xu's clothes and said, "This matter is very important, there must be no mistakes, hurry up and follow your aunt to the inner room of the side room."

The two walked into the inner room, and Chen Xu asked, "Auntie, what is this, it can be used to make it so mysterious." ”

"Child, come, aunt tells you, don't talk about this matter to outsiders, the contents of this box are extraordinary, when your father brought it back to the house, it mysteriously disappeared the next night, aunt thought, this may be inseparable from things, we must not slack off."

Aunt Chen Xu's expression became very solemn, she gently bit her two lips, her nervous and trembling hands twisted the cloth gown on her body, the yellow hair on her head shook, and the whole person stood up as if she had made a decision, and untied the bow on the black gauze wrapped around the box three times and two ends.

With a bang, the wooden box opened automatically, and the things inside emitted a light yellow luster, like the holy light emitted by the Buddha after Nirvana, something that could be held in the palm of a small hand, and the light emitted around it seemed to be spreading bright seeds, and the strange thing was that Chen Xu walked into the past, but only to see this oval, round thing on the surface is very tender and moist, but the whole surface is red, popping and beating, but it does not prevent the golden light he emits from illuminating this room to the fullest.

Chen Xu slowly stretched out his five fingers to touch it, and he could feel a kind of turbulent pulse surging from him, which had been sealed for several years, and this thing was still so warm, as if the energy would never be exhausted.

Chapter 7: The Dog Swallows the Celestial Spirit

"Mother, this thing looks interesting, but what is it?"

"Your father gave it an interesting name, when he saw that the bead grew so peculiarly and that it shone brightly day and night, as if it had been drawn from the heavens, and that it would never dry up like the water of a well.

"But what can Mother do with this thing, should I wear it around my neck, or I can eat it raw."

"Wei Niang doesn't know what this thing can do, but eight years ago, your father said that this thing should be given to the Night Pearl or some palace treasure or a magical treasure from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, it must be priceless, otherwise Wei Niang wouldn't have to hide it under the plane tree in fear after your father disappeared."

Chen Xu looked at Aunt Chen Xu and thought for a while and asked, "Auntie, did Daddy tell you how he got such a spirit bead the day before he disappeared?" ”

Aunt Chen Xu shook her head, "Your father didn't tell me how I got it, but don't worry, child, your father's temper and character, I can't be clearer about being a mother, although our family is poor, but we never tell lies, don't do wrong things, just rely on our conscience to be a down-to-earth person, it is a great benefit, not ours, your father will not take it, these words, didn't your father often educate you before he disappeared." ”

"Well, this must be where Daddy picked it up, and this can be regarded as a kind of favor and reward from God for kind, honest, and warm-hearted people, but I don't know if Daddy's disappearance is related to this spirit bead."

"Child, don't say it, since God wants to help us, how can we harm us with this, you listen to the words of the mother, collect this bead well, wait for a few years, you are older, and you are trying to find a good seller for the spirit clan at this moment, I believe that the money will be very rich, when the time comes, the rich party, the mother will help you find a good daughter-in-law, you are pairing with Meimei, yes, Wan Jiaojiao is not dedicated to being good to you, and the mother is also just matching the two of you, As for going out to find relatives, don't think about him anymore. ”

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world" Aunt's plans and worries are for the good of the child, for the child to live a good life, at this time Chen Xu's heart trembled, and tears of emotion fell, although he missed his father very much in his heart, and wanted to see him in his dreams, but Chen Xu felt the greatness of maternal love at this time, how could he use words to refute his mother, he just stood there, silent, and looked at the dazzling Tianjing Xing: stunned.

The wind blew for a while, and there were a few dogs barking outside the "Wangwang", and the four small doors and windows in the inner room all crackled, and the simple little doors were rustling, and it was like paws scratching the door.

"What kind of sound is it, it won't be that we are digging treasures in the yard and making people look at it, or the neighbor's Wan Jiaojiao is going to come to you at this time" Aunt Chen Xu rolled up the four corners of the black gauze with both hands, and told Chen Xu to go over and open the door to see what was going on.

"Bang" Chen Xu opened the door, it turned out to be Huanhuan, it wagged its tail hard, the fur on its body was a bit like a folded gold silk futon on the bed, and its agile and graceful body looked like a black loach in the water, and slipped into the door.

Aunt Chen Xu saw that it was Huanhuan, and immediately laughed knowingly, the dog understands human nature, Chen Xu's mother and son are here, Huanhuan also came over, Aunt Chen Xu's heart at the beginning of grasping together also relaxed, and the two hands that were spread out on the table were also spread out, and the Celestial Spirit Star on the black gauze emitted a bright light again.

At this time, Chen Xu grabbed Huanhuan's wrinkled and elastic big mouth, Huanhuan didn't move at first, but when he saw something shining on the table, he immediately rose to the ground, lay on the Eight Immortals stool, opened his big mouth, and swallowed the Celestial Spirit Star spread out on the black cloth at once.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this unlucky dog doing, he actually swallowed the treasure in his stomach, hey, what a sin, son, what are you doing nailing to the ground, why don't you intercept Huanhuan and pull the treasure out of his throat." Aunt Chen Xu was very anxious, and inadvertently picked up a teapot made of brass on the vine chair and smashed it towards Huanhuan's head.

With a "whoosh", Huanhuan screamed in pain, got under Chen Xu's crotch, and walked away in fear, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, Chen Xu's aunt shouted behind her, "Hurry up, Chen Xu chase after you." ”
