As soon as something happened in the temple, these two broke in. Besides, Xiao Zheng asked "what he said", not "what he did", which shows that they have been listening outside for a while.

Zhou Shu is his own family, so he listens to it. Xiao Zheng, a person with a foreign surname, eavesdropped on two women with great interest, which was a little shameless.

He had already heard it, and Jian Ying didn't bother to pretend to be virtuous anymore, and said lightly: "The ancestors of our old Zhou family are not so irritable, they found that there was a gossip man hiding outside the door and listening to the corner, and he couldn't see it, and the spirit reminded us." ”

Meng Xinniang was embarrassed by her gaffe, and when she heard the word "manifestation", the sense of fear rose again, and she couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

Xiao Zheng was said to be a gossip man, but he didn't care, he smiled, and turned the page. Drag a brocade ball over and come to Jian Ying to talk.

Zhou Shu saw that Jian Ying was always indifferent to Xiao Zheng, and knew that her impression of Xiao Zheng was far less good than that of Huang Zun, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it. got up and closed the door, and went to the front of the offering stage to sort out the spirit cards.

The ancestors of the Zhou family were also a big family in Jinan Mansion, with a tall lintel and a prosperous people. By the generation of King Ji'an's great-grandfather, somehow it suddenly declined.

It was divided into two groups, and one dragged the family south to seek a way to survive. One still stayed in Jinan Mansion, barely surviving by selling its ancestral property. Probably because of the hard life and the lack of heart to raise children, the three generations in a row are in the same lineage.

When the king of Ji'an got the holy favor, the Zhou family prospered again, and the population became dense again.

King Ji'an was afraid that there were too few tablets on the tablet for the offering, which could not show the heritage of the Zhou family and was not decent enough, so he turned out the people eight generations ago according to the family tree and put them on the table.

It is also an evil sect, and each of the tablets of those ancestors stands firmly, but what falls is the tablet of the people who passed away after the great-grandfather of King Ji'an.

Zhou Shu is not a person who pays attention to rules and fears ghosts and gods, and he does not pay attention to any order of up and down, so he first picked up the tablet of his biological mother Qin. Take a handkerchief and carefully wipe off the floating ash on it, and place it in its original position.

I don't have so much patience with other people's tablets, so I just stand up with my hand.

After the return is completed, the three pillars of incense are lit and a few bows are bowed. After worshipping and inserting it in the incense burner, he was just about to turn around, when he heard a "pop" sound, and another spirit card fell down. The other three were startled by this movement, and they all raised their eyes and turned their heads to look at them.

"Maybe I didn't hold it down just now." Zhou Shu explained casually, and stretched out his arm to reach the spirit card. When my fingers touched the edges, I felt the elasticity of the wood chips under my hands.

He was suspicious in his heart, picked it up and checked it, and felt that this spirit card was much thicker than ordinary spirit cards. There is a gap several inches long in the lower part of the side, neatly and neatly, not like a break, but like it is already there.

Thinking of the touch just now, his eyebrows moved, and he turned the base of the spirit card upwards, and came to his eyes to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found that there was a shallow indentation in the middle of the base. The fingertips rubbed twice on the dent, and with a "click" sound, the spirit card was split into two.

The bright red background hidden in the back is surrounded by gold lacquer phoenix inscriptions, and the words "Spiritual Seat of Empress Liu of Xiaosu" are engraved in the center.

He suspected that he had misunderstood, and blinked his eyes vigorously, and the word "queen" was still left on the golden and red wooden plaque, still so shocking.

Xiao Zheng saw him holding a spirit card in a daze from behind, so he asked with concern, "Pillow Stone, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Zhou Shu came back to his senses, buckled the two spirit cards as they were, and put them back on the offering table.

After taking the fire fold and lighting all the candles, he turned around and walked over and pulled Xiao Zheng by the hand, "Let's go." ”

"Huh? That's it? Xiao Zheng stood up and glanced at Jian Ying reluctantly, "I haven't talked enough with my sister-in-law." ”

"I've talked enough to my uncle." Jian Ying said unceremoniously.

After speaking, he went to look at Zhou Shu's face, and saw that he was also absent-minded when he heard the titles of "uncle" and "sister-in-law", and he didn't react, and he became more and more sure that there was something wrong with that spirit card.

"Lady endure for another half an hour, and I will send someone to pick you up." Zhou Shu told her a word, and then pulled Xiao Zheng straight out of the door.

As soon as the two men left, the temple suddenly became much empty, and it seemed colder and more gloomy than before. Meng Xinniang subconsciously shuddered, rolled her eyes to look at both sides, and saw nothing popping out, so she was a little relieved.

Jian Ying heard that there were no footsteps outside, so she took out the soup woman, the hand stove, the water bladder, and the snack bag one by one, put them on the brocade ball, and slipped to the front of the offering table wrapped in a blanket.

When the spirit card fell, she was being pestered by Xiao Zheng to talk, and when she looked up, she was blocked by Zhou Shu's body again, and she didn't see which piece it was, only remembering the general location. I touched it with my hand, and it was all cold.

In this cold day, I want to rely on the residual temperature to judge which one Zhou Shu took just now, but it is really unreliable. He knelt on the altar and squinted at the spirit card.

"What do you do?" Meng Xinniang stared at her back vigilantly.

"Didn't sister-in-law hear what Prince Yong said? The ancestors of the old Zhou family were angry. Jian Ying didn't look back and said, "You have to ask which ancestor is angry, so you can calm your anger, right?" ”

As he spoke, he saw that a spirit card was slightly different, so he climbed up to the offering platform with his hands and feet, and knelt down and held the spirit card over.

Meng Xinniang was stunned by her bold move, and was speechless in a daze.

Jian Ying took her finger and knocked it on the spirit card a few times, and then put her ear on it to listen carefully, looking from behind, it really seemed like she was communicating with the spirit card.

Under the psychological effect, Meng Xinniang only felt that the yin wind was gusting, and the cold hairs on her body stood up one by one.

Jian Ying's fingers touched a groove, and she was relieved, holding the base with both hands and breaking it open to both sides.

Just listen to the sound of "pop", and the spirit card is divided into two again.

Meng Xinniang's tense nerves finally reached the limit, and she let out a short exclamation from her mouth, rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground softly.

Jian Ying glanced back at her and shook her head disdainfully, "It's not as bold as a mouse." ”

didn't care about her, held the spirit card and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, "Kneel back to the ancestral hall and find such a big secret, it's worth it." ”

Put the spirit card back and jump off the altar. Kick and Tap walked back, picked up a water bladder from the brocade, took two sips, and left one in his mouth. came to Meng Xinniang's side and squatted down, straightened her body, and sprayed it on her face with a "poof".

Meng Xinniang sighed, opened her eyes with her wet eyelashes, and saw Jian Ying looking at herself with a smile, and she didn't know how long she had been dizzy, so she felt embarrassed and embarrassed, so she simply pretended to be confused, and sat up with her head in her hands, "I...... What's wrong with me? ”
