Chapter 21: A Bad Omen
Due to Xiao Lan's strong style yesterday, the second uncle's family was powerless to stop her from going to worship her ancestors.
It's just that she thought that what they said about entering the mountain should be going to Longtan Mountain, "Aren't you going to Longtan Mountain?" Xiao Lan asked Du Liying beside her.
"Of course not, we are going to the ancestral house in Changbai Mountain, we go there every Chinese New Year, we have to get there when it gets dark, if you are tired of sitting down, you can lie down." Du Liying replied while fiddling with her mobile phone.
"Okay, then I'll go lie down for a while, and call me when it's time." Xiao Lan nodded in response, and at this time she finally understood why the eldest uncle and the second uncle both drove RVs.
Last night, Xiao Lan planted a field in the Immortal Mansion for a night, and she was sleepy at this time, so she set up a simple protective barrier, fell asleep, and woke up again, the sunset was already about to set.
"Sister Xiao, it's coming, are you hungry, do you want to eat something first, I see that you sleep soundly, and I didn't call you at noon." Du Liying said softly.
"Thanks, I'm not hungry." Xiao Lan got up, shook her head with a smile, and looked out the window, the white expanse was mysterious and spectacular.
"That's okay, I went to the second uncle for a while, and the third uncle has something delicious where." Du Liying said with a nostalgic face, the wild ingredients in this mountain are not comparable to those cultivated outside.
The RV stopped at the foot of the mountain, watched by the driver's bodyguard, and the group walked up on foot, and the old house of the Du family was in the village not far away.
"My uncle's family is Manchu? They seem to have a lot of respect for you. Walking into the village, Xiao Lan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Our ancestors' mothers were Manchus, so we are also half Manchu blood. The reason why they respect me is that they have protected this village since the generation of my ancestors. Uncle Du Tianze nodded to the villagers and explained to Xiao Lan.
"Second uncle, third uncle, Liying has come to see you!" As soon as Du Liying entered the mansion, she shouted, saying that it was not an exaggeration to say that the mansion was not an exaggeration, and the courtyard with three entrances and three exits occupied half of the entire village.
"Sister Liying, you are here, Daddy roasted the whole sheep and pheasants, and I am waiting for you."
Hearing Du Liying's voice, a little boy ran out of the courtyard quickly, his voice excited and happy.
"Xiaohu, you've grown taller again! Oh, it's so heavy! Du Liying happily hugged the little boy and smiled.
"Come in!" An old but calm voice came from the inner room, and it fell very clearly in everyone's ears.
Xiao Lan could tell that this person's skill was very high, and he should have reached the third layer of condensation, and he was already a master among the masters in the mortal world.
It should be that there are no outsiders in the courtyard, and everyone does not go in a decent way, but they all use light skills, in fact, it is very simple, as long as the qi passage guò meridians are gathered on the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of the feet, and then jump hard.
It's just that it's simple, a qiē is still based on qi, and ordinary people can't do it with jumping power alone. And it must be according to the specific meridian luck, otherwise, once the qi goes astray, it is easy to go mad.
Although Xiao Lan had not learned this kind of light skill from them, the speed at which she used the exercise to walk was not slower than theirs.
"You are Sister Aman's daughter, come into the house, it's cold outside." Huzi's father, who is Du Man's cousin, smiled enthusiastically the moment he saw Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan replied with a sincere smile, these are her mother's relatives, and they are the people her mother cares about.
After the meal, everyone was arranged to rest, but Xiao Lan was left alone by the second uncle and the third uncle.
"Child, the tragedy has been brewed, just let it go! Apocalypse and Ayu are both stubborn people, how considerate you are. The third uncle said with a kind face.
"I heard Tianze say that you are related to the Immortal Cultivation Sect?" The second uncle's tone is much stricter.
"Thank you third uncle, I won't blame the second uncle, no one wants that kind of accident to happen, this time I come back, I just want to see my mother's hometown, see where my mother lived, and see if my uncle is doing well." Regarding the matter of cultivating immortals, Xiao Lan didn't plan to say much.
"Second brother, the child doesn't want to say it, forget it, you know, there are rules everywhere." The third uncle saw that the second uncle's face was getting worse and worse, so he spoke for Xiao Lan.
"Hmph, you're just too talkative, if you hadn't let them go, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened." The second uncle glared at the third uncle and said unhappily.
"Yes! It's my fault, but those two kids. Sighing, the third uncle lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Third uncle, thank you, I don't think my parents regret it, if it weren't for you, there would be no savings for me." Xiao Lan had already heard the meaning of the two old men's words, she didn't want the third uncle to blame herself, and from Aunt Fen's words, she knew that her parents really loved each other, otherwise they would not choose to die together.
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, let's go!" The second uncle didn't force Xiao Lan to say something
Ancestor worship is a grand folk activity during the Spring Festival, which is a series of symbolic actions or rituals carried out according to the requirements of religion or social customs.
On the day of ancestor worship, the main male members of the local family gather at the family temple, scrub the used offerings in advance, prepare the offerings, and hang the tablets and portraits of the ancestors of each generation in the order of generation.
Subsequently, under the auspices of the patriarch, everyone paid homage to the ancestors in batches according to their seniority.
Auntie, Li Ying and Xiao Lan are both women, and they are not allowed to enter the family temple, so they only kowtow with other female relatives outside.
"A bad omen, this is a bad omen!"
Just when Xiao Lan thought it was time to leave, there was a commotion in the family temple, and when she listened quietly, what was said inside was that the ranking of the ancestors had all fallen inwardly.
"Ah Hao, Ah Yu, you two are fast, go up to the back mountain to see if there is anything wrong with our family's ancestral grave." The second uncle covered his chest and said with a big change in his face.
The third uncle pinched his fingers, and he directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, which scared everyone and didn't know what to do.
"Don't be impulsive." The second uncle helped the third uncle sit down and said comfortingly.
"Second uncle, third uncle, I just said that girl is a scourge, and she shouldn't be allowed to come up the mountain at all!" Du Tianqi glared at Xiao Lan outside, and said viciously, once you hate someone in your heart, it means that anything bad is related to it.
"No, no, she's not a scourge, that girl is a savior" The third uncle wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said weakly, he didn't count much, but there is a warning from the ancestors in this temple, which is enough.
"Let's go, let's go back and wait for Ah Hao and Ah Yu first, let them clean up the family temple, and then disperse, Tianze, you take that girl with you." Although the second uncle's skills are profound, his divination is not as good as his younger brother, and he has to make careful considerations for the sake of the whole family.
