Chapter 59: The Mourning Hall
In the morning, Leng Li took Xie Peiling to visit around Lengjiagou. Although it is not a scenic spot, but away from the hustle and bustle of the city, feeling the calm of rural nature, Xie Peiling has always had a pleasant smile on her face. However, Leng Li's interest was not high, and there were traces of him and Song Qian playing everywhere, touching the scene.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the two held hands and snuggled under a big locust tree. This is a vegetable garden not far from the entrance of the village. The big locust tree behind them has been around for some years, shading the sky and the sun, and the dappled sunlight is sprinkled in wisps. The two enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility. But it was broken after a while.
Ten minutes later, a paper crane flew leisurely from the direction of Leng Li's old house. It is made of bright yellow rune paper, which emits a faint yellow light, and you can also feel the slightest fluctuation of mana. Leng Li smiled faintly and turned his head: "Let's go back, grandma has come to us for dinner." Later, he pretended not to tell me anything. Don't want her to worry. ”
Stretching out his palm, the mana in his mind working. An invisible suction force emerged, and the paper crane quickly flew into Leng Li's hand. With a grip on the palm, the light on the yellow rune paper disappeared: "Hehe...... We're running out of stock, but Grandma has it here! And it all seems to be made by her. You can take some back with you then! ”
A moment later. Leng Li saw Ma Shuhua standing at the door waiting for them from a distance. His eyes were not on him at all, but nodded at Xie Peiling with a smile on his face: "Peiling girl, come on!" Lunch is ready, let's eat! The latter smiled politely, but saw the black line on Leng Li's face: "Who is your grandson!" ”
I have to say that Ma Shuhua is very satisfied with this girl who is destined to become the future granddaughter-in-law. In just one morning, a large table of dishes was made. Although it is not as luxurious as it looks in the city, it is all small dishes that Xie Peiling feels very fresh. It tastes fresh and refreshing, but it's a pleasure to eat. And Ma Shuhua has been looking at her with kindness.
"I said Ms. Ma Shuhua, who is your grandson now! How do I feel that you are better to Ling'er than to me? Growing up, you've rarely smiled at me, have you? Leng Li said in a sour tone. His lips pursed unconvinced. Poof! As soon as the words fell, Xie Peiling couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of water: "Haha...... You...... Are you still coquettish? ”
After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, now it was not the two of them, there were elders in front of him: "Grandma, I'm sorry!" I couldn't hold back for a moment. It's the first time I've seen Leng Li, and I'm still coquettish! Ma Shuhua smiled: "It's okay, you don't need to be so restrained here." He turned his head and glanced coldly: "In front of others, you are embarrassed!" ”
Leng Li was depressed, and what else did he want to say. But at this time, there was a very loud cry outside. It seems to have been deliberately enlarged with a megaphone. And with the cry coming, Leng Li's faces changed. Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but Leng Li clearly feels that the resentment in the air fluctuations is getting bigger and bigger. This is a very bad sign.
Standing up suddenly, Ma Shuhua's face changed rarely: "You stay here for me, I'll go out and have a look." Whatever you hear, you are not allowed to come out! After saying that, regardless of the reaction of the two, they quickly walked out. As she reached the door, her footsteps suddenly stopped. Turned around suddenly: "The Divine Dragon Edict, the Snow God borrows the law, sealed!" ”
A strange cold breath came, and a wall of ice actually formed outside the gate. It looks extremely hard, and completely seals the ancestral hall. The ice wall was extremely smooth, but after that cold air, Xie Peiling and the others couldn't feel the cold. I also can't feel Ma Shuhua's breath. It was as if the ice wall cut off all the breath of the outside world from them.
"It's ...... What spell? Leng Li stared at the ice wall in front of him in astonishment, his eyes wandered, and he turned to Xie Peiling: "Can you break it?" Something must be wrong, or Grandma wouldn't have imprisoned us here. The latter shook his head solemnly: "This is the Ma family's unique secret technique, unless the mana is above grandma, it can't be broken!" ”
frowned, and sat on the chair very weakly. His instincts told him that something must be happening. But now that my grandmother has cut everything off, there is no way to do it. Time passed little by little, and both of them were in a very heavy mood, of course they didn't have the heart to eat. Until the sky was completely dark, Ma Shuhua was not seen to come back.
"Pei Ling, we can't sit still like this! I had a very unpleasant premonition, and it was getting stronger. The two of us rushed out together! Leng Li stood up and walked briskly towards the ice wall. Xie Peiling sighed lightly and walked over. The former took out the slashing moon, and with a move of mana, a silver glow flashed. Xie Peiling also sacrificed the Ugin Exorcism Stick.
Staring at the ice wall in front of her with solemn eyes, Xie Peiling said solemnly: "You can only hit hard, you can't come hard!" Leng Li nodded, and the silver light above the slashing moon flashed, and it swung down fiercely! At the same time, the yellow light on the exorcist wand flashed, and the two liliang strands merged into one. Bang! There was a muffled sound, and the entire ancestral hall shook with a bang. A ripple was reflected on the ice wall, and it bounced straight back.
Laugh at...... The footsteps streaked a long trail on the ground, and Xie Peiling and Leng Li retreated sharply at the same time. There was even a look of shock on his face. The former forcibly paused, and with a dip of his right hand, he stabilized Leng Li's body. Shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, the strength of the two of us is far less than grandma's little fur, as long as the heirs of the Ma family are immortal, Liliang will be strong and terrifying!" ”
The face was very gloomy, and the entire ancestral hall was quiet and weird. Leng Li stared at the wall of ice in front of him tightly: "Is there really no way to break it?" What the hell is grandma hiding from us? Does it have to be this way? No, I'm going to try again! With his right foot forward, he held it steadily. Silver light flashed: "Ge Hong, help me!" ”
With a flip of his left hand, there was a strange talisman. This talisman is not an ordinary bright yellow, but a golden color that exudes a faint golden light. Seeing him take out this talisman, Xie Peiling's face sank: "You are crazy!" This Nine Turns Divine Thunder Talisman was obtained by you and me with great difficulty in the Yin and Yang Record, and I was not willing to deal with Mao Junnan, do you want to use it like this? ”
"I can't do that much! Song Qian is missing, and his grandfather's whereabouts are unknown. I only have my grandmother left, and I don't want to lose! Ling'er, just let me zuihou humanity again! Turning his head, Leng Li showed a begging gaze. Xie Peiling's heart softened, and she said helplessly: "Be careful, the slightest carelessness of the Nine Turns Divine Thunder will produce a great backlash!" ”
smiled faintly, with a hint of perseverance in his eyes: "I understand!" The left hand moved: "Nine turns of yin and yang, changeable, borrow the power of nine heavens, nine turns of divine thunder, descend!" The golden talisman flashed with light, and it slapped fiercely at the moon. The light blade trembled, and the silver light blade was filled with arcs: "Sky lock slashing the moon, break!" "Boom! There was a loud bang, and the figure quickly retreated!
Xie Peiling quickly reached out and patted him on the back steadily, catching it: "Are you okay?" Leng Li shook his head. The tremors subsided, and only a click was heard, and the ice wall shattered open. In the next second, a strange wail shook the sky. The two of them changed their faces and rushed out. The source of the sound was not elsewhere, it was in the mourning hall of the seventh uncle.
The seventh uncle lives in the village, and he can be regarded as a respected elder of this Leng Jiagou. He died suddenly, and almost everyone in Leng Jiagou went to mourn. The mourning hall is located in the hall of his house, and there are two large white wreaths at the door, which are full of white eulogy, and the mourning and music are continuous. In the middle of the hall, there is a large coffin, pitch black.
It is very strange that the portrait of the seventh uncle is directly in front of it. On the surface, he looks very kind, but there is always a hint of horror and unwillingness in his eyes. It was as if those kind eyes could still move. And in the mourning hall, the son and daughter-in-law of the seventh uncle. and relatives who have rushed back from everywhere are guarding here.
There was a dull, strange atmosphere in the mourning hall, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Everyone here was silent, and there was a sadness on their faces that could not be dissolved. And Leng Hong, the son of the seventh uncle, knelt in front of the statue, burning paper money one by one. Her wife was quietly by his side. But the faces of the two were extremely indifferent and mechanical.
All in all, everyone in this hall is weird. It looks sad, but in fact it looks indifferent. It seems that the death of the seventh uncle was expected, and no one was really sad at all. What's even more strange is that behind the coffin, that is, under the statue, there is a pair of fiery red embroidered shoes. Is this weishenme? It's too abrupt!
"Leng Hong, let's replace me! The mage said that the old man's body should be kept for seven days. And every night to maximize the joy of mourning. Everyone has to be gathered here. Seven days are over, and it's fine. Everyone, take it easy and don't worry too much! At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward, grabbed Leng Hong's shoulder and said.
Turning his head, Leng Hong, a cropper with a rough face and not outstanding, showed a grateful smile: "Cousin, xiexie you." But forget it, I've been guarding here since I came back from afar, so you'd better go and rest first. Leng Hong said sincerely. The person in front of him was his cousin, called Leng Wanchang. A big boss of a trade in Yongyu City.
Leng Wanchang, who is in his forties, has an ordinary appearance, but with his shrewd mind, he is very prosperous in Yongyu City. Wanchang Trade in Honghui Building, he is the boss. Suit leather shoes, but there is no shelf at all. When I heard that the old man had died, I rushed back immediately. And they stayed here for three days in a row. Even the mage was invited by him!
"It's okay, you're tired enough. You have to worry about everything. Let's go and rest for a while! After Leng Wanchang finished speaking, he knelt down directly, took the paper money in Leng Hong's hand and began to put it in the brazier. Seeing this, Leng Hong is not easy to refuse. But he didn't go out, he sat down on the bench next to him and closed his eyes. But he didn't see the sneer on the corner of Leng Wanchang's mouth.
