Passing through the "medicine hall" is the inner hall of the Gao family. The inner hall is not large, about 60 square meters, and there are six wings on both sides of the inner hall.

Cheng Yifan was arranged to rest in the left wing.

Behind the inner hall is a high platform, on which is built a hall of about 100 square meters, and the door of the hall is closed. Cheng Yifan guessed that it was the ancestral hall of the Gao family.

And behind the platform is the north gate of the Five Clouds City. Now Cheng Yifan finally knows why the north gate he saw when he first entered the city was on the city wall. That's because the platform of Gaojia is too high, more than ten meters from the ground, and from a distance, this city gate is on the city wall.

"Standing on the platform of the Gao family, you should be able to see the whole picture of the entire Wuyun City." Cheng Yifan thinks so.

"Yifan, come up, why are you stunned below?" Gao Yunliang, who was standing on the platform, beckoned to Cheng Yifan and shouted. Cheng Yifan put the trip away, and as soon as he got out of the room, he saw Gao Yunliang and Heizi on the platform.

"I'm not going up, why should I go up to your ancestral hall?" Cheng Yifan shouted at Gao Yunliang.

"It's okay, the scenery on this platform is good, and besides, you will have to pass through here tomorrow when you go up the mountain, you can come up first." Gao Yunliang beckoned to Cheng Yifan again.

Cheng Yifan was originally very interested in the high platform above, but he was afraid of ruining the Gao family's etiquette, so he didn't dare to go up casually. Now that he heard Gao Yunliang say this, he has no worries. Soon, Cheng Yifan climbed the high platform along the stone steps paved with more than a dozen bluestones.

Standing on the high platform and looking down, you can indeed get a glimpse of the whole picture of Wuyun City. At this time, looking down from the high platform, the lights are on, the cooking smoke is everywhere, bustling, the clouds are ethereal, and the whole Wuyun Town is peaceful and quiet, like an isolated paradise.

Cheng Yifan smiled at Gao Yunliang and said, "Your ancestor won't be the city lord of this Wuyun City, don't you think that standing here has a feeling of dominating the world and being proud of the whole city?"

Gao Yunliang didn't answer, but turned Cheng Yifan's body 180 degrees and said, "Look up." ”

Cheng Yifan looked up from afar, and saw a piece of Wuyun Mountain black and oppressive, like a demon's face, looking at him condescendingly. It's a long way from the mountain, but it feels like it's right in front of you. Cheng Yifan only felt like an ant standing below a giant demon. Looking up again, five black dark clouds seemed to hover over the Gao family, struggling with terror.

"Do you think the city lord would live in such an eerie place? If I were the lord of the city, I would definitely find a bright and comfortable place to live, haha......" Gao Yunliang continued with a smile: "I think the Gao family is like the guardian of this city, or the gatekeeper of this mountain. ”

"The reason why the Gao family was built here is because the Gao family is proficient in poison and has a lot to deal with poisons in the mountains. First, it is convenient to go into the mountains to collect medicine, and secondly, it can prevent the poisons in the mountains from entering the city and hurting people. ”

Cheng Yifan had no doubt about Liangzi's words, but he vaguely felt that it was not just what Gao Yunliang said. Ever since he stepped into Wuyun Mountain, there had been a strange feeling. A feeling that is both familiar and unsettling. The suicide note in the ancestral house, the reincarnation bead on his chest, and Wuyun Town, which is full of weirdness and mysteries, Cheng Yifan feels that he must have an unusual relationship with Wuyun Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yunliang proposed: "Come with me to the ancestral hall to put incense on the pillar." ”

"I'm not going, why should I go to your ancestral hall? Who can enter the ancestral hall randomly! Cheng Yifan hurriedly refused.

"Haha......" Gao Yunliang saw Cheng Yifan's worries and said, "It's all because I didn't make it clear." ”

"It's not for you to visit my ancestors. Instead, Wuyun City has a rule, and when you enter through the Dao, you must give a pillar of incense to other people's ancestors to ask for the consent of other people's ancestors, so as not to disturb the souls of other people's ancestors. ”

"Even if you enter the mountain from the Ye family or the Jin family's passage, you still have to go to the incense and borrow the Tao, which is different from worshiping your ancestors."

This is called "borrowing incense", and tomorrow other people will pass through here, and they will also have to offer incense. It's just that you happen to be here today, so I'll let you go first.

"What happens if you don't?" Cheng Yifan asked puzzled.

"This is an ancestral rule, I naturally won't let you into the mountain if you don't have incense." Gao Yunliang's face was serious.

Cheng Yifan thought to himself: "Isn't this just collecting tolls?" "I just didn't dare to say it, for fear of disrespecting the ancestors of the Gao family.

Gao Yunliang shook his head with a wicked smile at Cheng Yifan, as if he could see through Cheng Yifan's thoughts.

"Brother Yifan, you can just put incense outside in a while, outsiders in the Gao family ancestral hall are indeed not allowed to enter!" Kuroko said as he opened the door to the ancestral hall.

"Okay, I know." Cheng Yifan took Kuroko's words and replied.

"It's originally someone else's ancestral hall, how can you enter it indiscriminately. This is already too much to incense other people's ancestors, how can you enter other people's ancestral halls. But just pay a toll, go through a procedure, and you can't break the card! Cheng Yifan smiled secretly in his heart.

Cheng Yifan looked into the ancestral hall from afar, thinking that this Gao family not only had strange ancestral rules, but also had strange arrangements. Generally, people's mourning halls will be placed in the center, and the Gao family is placed on the left and right, and there are two portraits in the middle, due to the distance, Cheng Yifan can't see the portrait, guessing that it should be the portrait of the ancestor of the Gao family.

Gao Yunliang and Heizi each walked to the side and offered incense to the spiritual seats on both sides. "This should be the respective ancestors of the Medicine Hall and the Martial Hall!" Cheng Yifan thought to himself.

After making this cut, Gao Yunliang walked out of the ancestral hall with three incense sticks in his hand and said to Cheng Yifan: "Go to the pillar and borrow the incense!"

Cheng Yifan took the incense and wondered when this Gao Yunliang had become so superstitious. However, the world has a lot of respect for spirits. Confucius said to stay away. Modern science explains that the soul may be a specific magnetic field formed by a substance.

Our knowledge of the world is already limited, and someone once joked that the end of science is the beginning of theology. There are many wonders in this world, who can answer them all? Maybe there really is a soul?

Kneeling down on one knee, Cheng Yifan held up three incense sticks, and said in the tone of the ancients: "The younger generation Cheng Yifan, a coastal person, wants to enter Wuyun Mountain today, borrow the Gao family, if there is any disturbance, please ask Haihan, the ancestor of the Gao family."

As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of lightning and thunder in Wuyun Mountain, and at this time, a strange wind seemed to rise from the ground. The strange wind blew from the high platform and blew into the ancestral hall, and the spirit cards on the mourning halls on both sides of the ancestral hall suddenly fell down.

"This ..... This..."Gao Yunliang and Heizi's faces changed greatly, and their already dark faces were like charcoal at this time, and their surprised and mangran colors were revealed.

Cheng Yifan was also frightened, "Could it be that those jokes in his heart angered the ancestors of the Gao family?" ”

"Kuroko, go and call Grandpa and my dad." Gao Yunliang came back to his senses and shouted to Kuroko.

Cheng Yifan's face was gloomy, and he asked weakly, "Liangzi, what's going on?"

"I don't know, it's just windy in the mountains, so it shouldn't be fine?" Gao Yunliang explained with a heavy face.

About three minutes later, Gao Tian and Yunliang's grandfather hurried over, and this time Kuroko's father came, dressed in white. The three of them walked into the ancestral hall together and looked at each other. Half an hour later, Gao Yunliang's grandfather stared at the two portraits in a daze. Gao Tian, Gao Feng straightened the spirit cards that had been dumped on both sides.

After holding the spirit card, the three of them said something together. The sound was very small, and they couldn't hear it. Then, the three of them walked out of the ancestral hall together and closed the door of the ancestral hall.

Gao Tian smiled slightly tolerantly and said, "It's windy in the mountains, it's nothing, aren't you going to Li's house for dinner?" It's not early, go early and come back early. ”

Cheng Yifan expected that this matter was not so simple, it must be something that angered the Gao family's undead or taboo or something. I thought that I would attract the blame of the Gao family, but I didn't expect that the Gao family didn't blame him.

Cheng Yifan thought about it. "That's right, I don't know how to summon the wind and rain, I should just happen to have a gust of wind when he knelt down just now, how can I blame him?" Cheng Yifan laughed and laughed at himself, laughing at himself for being too sensitive recently.

And Gao Yunliang is very clear, not to mention the wind, usually there is no breeze. also blew down the two spirit cards, such an unusual thing must have something to do with Cheng Yifan. Father, they must know the reason, maybe it's hard to say it in front of Cheng Yifan. Now it is not advisable to ask too much at this time, it is better to retreat like this first, and then find a time to ask my father alone when I come back in the evening.

Thinking of this, Gao Yunliang laughed and hidden, "Haha...... It's us who made too much fuss. Just a gust of wind, look at us nervous, haha...... Let's get out. After speaking, Gao Yunliang pulled Heizi and Cheng Yifan down from the high platform and headed towards Li's house.

Gao Zheng, Gao Feng, I can now be sure that this person must be related to the Yuan family. You let Yun Liang and Heizi take good care of them, maybe the people who our Gao family has been waiting for hundreds of years will arrive. Gao Yunliang's grandfather blew his beard and said meaningfully.

"Understood, father." Gao Tian and Gao Feng replied in unison.
