Chapter 21: The Ancestral Hall of the Wandering Family

As the crows went deeper into the forest, there was a slight sound of ropes around from time to time, Shang Wu suddenly became alert, but the crows in front of him seemed to be unaware, Shang Wu felt the need to remind the crows to light torches to deter the beasts and snakes, so he said:

"Shouldn't we light a torch to light it so we can walk?" Shang Wu is still skillful in speaking

"No, with Xiaoqing leading the way in front, there will be no problem." The crow replied with ease.

Xiaoqing? Is there anyone else in front, Shang Wu was a little puzzled in his heart, so he looked through the crow and curiously wanted to see what the person in front of him looked like.

It was still pitch black in front of the crow, but from time to time something moving passed by in the moonlit area of the ground, but it was impossible to see what it was. Shang Wu subconsciously became more vigilant, and after observing for a long time, he still couldn't see a general shape. Finally, he opened his mouth and asked the crow:

"Raven girl, your Xiaoqing, why do I look down on it, what does it look like?"

"Xiaoqing, it's my guardian spirit, what do you think the spirit should look like," the crow said with a relaxed smile.

Shang Wu remembered that there were powerful records of ancestral spirits, beast spirits, demon spirits and other spirits in the merchant village, and some believers in ghosts and gods would have some spirits to escort them.

And those files do not record in detail what the spirit is, but there are some unbelievable records in a few words, such as killing people invisibly, the master can instantly kill the enemy when he is in crisis, and even the description of finding life-saving elixir for the master.

Shang Wu didn't dare to be careless, for fear of offending the guardian spirit called Xiaoqing, so he honestly followed behind the crow, not daring to look at what Xiaoqing looked like in front of the crow.

After about an hour of travel, the crow stopped in front of a big tree, and then said to Shang Wu:

"Let's gather some firewood and build a fire." The crow said as if he was collecting something in his hand, and began to pick up the wood when he was done.

After a while, the two of them piled up a pile of firewood, and the crow lit the fire with a fire fold, and Shang Wu added firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

As the bonfire grew, the crow began to fiddle with her things, first spreading a blanket of one meter square and sewn together with leather around the fire. Then he began to light a handful of unfathomable hay, the hay ignited, and Shang Wu asked a sweet smell.

Shang Wu thought it was very fun, and the more he smelled it, the more addictive he became, and he couldn't smell enough, and the crow said to Shang Wu:

"The head of the family kneels on this blanket, and when the sacrifice is held, you need to be respectful, don't be disrespectful to the powerful existence who comes to play." The crow didn't look at Shang Wu and said, but began to dance the witch dance on the blanket.

Shang Wu knelt on the blanket as the crow said, the burning hay in it was closer, and the good smell was stronger, Shang Wu enjoyed the fragrance, and unconsciously closed his eyes and concentrated on smelling the fragrance.

Shang Wu felt that his body had become very light and light, floating like a kite, he was floating in the sky, he couldn't feel the cold in the sky or the wind in the sky, what he felt was a very comfortable feeling of crispy numbness in his body, and Shang Wu also enjoyed it.

Floating like this, he unconsciously floated to the sky above the merchant village, and Shang Wu looked down and saw that there was no one in the village, and he was floating like this.

Somehow, his body slowly floated into the merchant's ancestral hall, and Shang Wu had already seen an old man with white hair and white beard standing in front of the tablet with his back to him.

Shang Wu felt curious, so he wanted to ask who the strange old man was and why he was in the merchant's ancestral hall.

The old man didn't wait for Shang Wu to open his mouth and said:

"You are my Miao descendant, I am the old sect of your lineage, that is, the fifth son of our merchant ancestor, I summoned you today to have something to tell you."

The old man walked into Shang Wu as he spoke, and looked around Shang Wu, Shang Wu also looked at the old man, and found that the old man's appearance was eight points similar to himself, it seemed that this was really his ancestor.

"My father, that is, your ancestor has long expected that there will be a vein of the family to move, so he set the rules of the fifth generation, originally the ancestor thought that it would be the first vein will be the first to divide a branch of the outward migration, and then each vein will be moved out according to the law for the family to open up branches and leaves, but I didn't expect the first vein to be easy and evil, greedy for enjoyment, and refused to divide and migrate, so as to cause a man-made disaster behind, and the second, third, and fourth veins of the heirs were cut off."

"The so-called misfortune and blessing, the ancestor originally intended to be afraid that the Zhou thieves who came after him would find the whole family and destroy the clan, so he had this rule. Don't you feel that God is unfair, I will bless you on this trip, you don't have to be afraid, your achievements and fortunes will be far stronger than the waste nested in the merchant village, and the division of our merchant will develop much bigger than the clan of the merchant village. ”

"Okay, long story short, time is limited, I'll pick up important things and explain them to you." The old man estimated that time was running out, so he began to talk about the main point.

"Old Sect, please command, I will keep it in mind for my descendants." Shang Wu said respectfully.

"The first thing: the fifth generation, since we moved out of this lineage, we will become a family on our own, and the relationship with the head of the merchant village is not the strong subordination relationship between the head of the family and the head of the line, but the weak subordination between the head of the family and the head of the family, that is to say, the orders from the family can be listened to or not, if the strength of the family is weak, we can not listen at all, if we are very prosperous and powerful, we can replace it, and the family and the family will change their identity and status."

"The second thing: In the divided family, you are the head of the family, and I am the ancestor of this divided family, and the family sacrifice will always sacrifice to my ancestor, my preference is to be complimented and the strange things in the world, every time I sacrifice, remember to send these more burns to me."

"The third thing: the merchant originally had a witch, after the Zhou thief disaster, the merchant entered this foreign land to break the witch, the witch in Fuxi at that time, and the ancestral spirit witch sacrifice was later Yanhuang Zhan Chi You when the war between the clans arose, at that time summoned the powerful ancestral spirit for the warriors to bless the war to win the family prosperous. The difference between the ancestral spirit and other spirits is that the ancestral spirit does not recognize a person and only recognizes his own family, while other spirits only recognize one person, and if this person dies, the spirit is very likely to leave. ”

"When the witch sacrifice is a witch sacrifice, the ancestor of the family or the head of the family or the head of the family, or the bloodline saint must have one of the three present, the witch sacrifice needs the witch to dance the sacred dance, and the sacrifice needs to be sincerely remembered, and the ancestors of the family should be sincere in order to receive what they want. We and other ancestral spirits will communicate with you and other living beings through witchcraft. If there is no important matter, we and the ancestral spirits will not summon you or send words in your dreams. ”

"This witch you invited is a holy witch of Qingqiu bloodline, which is considered to have a great background, you need to take care of it, and there must be a backhand. By the way, I have an elixir, you open your mouth. I saw the old man take out an elixir from his sleeve and wait for it, and throw it into his mouth with five mouths.

Shang Wu opened his mouth as the old man said, and a soft grain the size of a peanut entered his mouth, and before Shang Wu could chew it, it slipped into Shang Wu's abdomen. Shang Wu only felt a faint smell of blood, but it quickly dissipated.

At this time, the old man took out another mountain ginseng and said:

"iQue must be very hurtful, open your mouth and hold this ginseng to replenish your body, and you can't bite it with your teeth."

Shang Wu listened to the old man's words and opened his mouth again, taking the ginseng that the old man stretched into his mouth.

Waiting for the ginseng to enter, Shang Wu was suddenly a little confused, how could this ginseng be so soft and smooth, and it would still move.
