I couldn't fight against Luo Dajin, so I could only follow him to the ancestral hall, and I was worried in my heart, and I didn't know what would be waiting for me in the ancestral hall. I was scared, my body was shaking, and I only walked a few hundred meters, and my whole body was soaked with sweat.

Except for the sound of the gong, the entire Black Flower Village was extremely quiet, and even the barking of dogs was not heard. The dim light shines, and the entire Black Flower Village is also extremely terrifying, as if the dark place is full of ghosts, and they will pounce out and bite people at any time.

I shuddered. This is the first time I walked out of Luo Dajin's hut and witnessed the Black Flower Village in a conscious state.

By the faint light of the fire, it was difficult to identify what kind of village the Black Flower Village was. But one thing is certain, the whole village was built on a hill, the houses were high and low, and there were many stones in the front house and the back yard. The road out of the village is very narrow, there is only one.

With a few squeaks, some of the doors quietly opened, and a pair of dark curious eyes looked out. But they didn't come out and didn't make any noise. I knew in my heart that the day I was brought in by the traffickers, the people in the village would know about it, but they were indifferent, they were used to it, and they would not come to me.

After walking for about ten minutes, Luo Dajin led me to the back of the stockade, and saw a house in the distance, which was much more atmospheric than other dilapidated wooden houses and adobe houses, and there were two red lanterns hanging on the door.

"The ancestral hall has arrived." The yin gong in Luo Dajin's hand was also put away. The door of the ancestral hall was closed and very quiet. I glanced at Luo Dajin. The expression on Luo Dajin's face was not very good, and he looked angry.

"Why isn't there any?" I asked.

Generally speaking, the entry of the heir into the ancestral hall is a major event in the clan, and the big guys will come to be lively and lively, begging for good luck, but there is no one here.

Luo Dajin's face twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It must be Luo Youdao, this old thing, he instigated everyone not to come over to join in the fun, next time I will definitely take Gu worms to clean him up." ”

I was a little overjoyed, and cautiously asked, "Uncle...... That...... Shall we go in then? Is there anyone in the room? ”

Luo Dajin said: "It's all here, so naturally I want to go in." However, it is not us who go in together, but you who go in alone. I'll be waiting for you outside. ”

I glanced at the ancestral hall where the lantern was hanging, and I was so frightened that I didn't understand what Luo Dajin meant: "Uncle, should I go in alone?" I don't know what to do, so you might as well go in with me! ”

Luo Dajin said: "It's very simple, after you go in, you will offer a stick of incense inside, wait for a while, as long as the incense is not extinguished, you can come out." I'll be waiting for you outside. Luo Dajin's eyes were a little fierce, and I had to nod.

I walked to the door of the ancestral hall and glanced back at Luo Dajin.

He was looking at me with a strange smile, hard to explain, hard to see, and waved his hand: "Go and come back, I'll be waiting for you here." If my ancestors have taken you, I will not punish you anymore. ”

I put my hands on the door of the ancestral hall, felt a suffocating cold coming, my body shivered from the cold, I took a deep breath and pushed hard. The door creaked, and a crack opened, and the light was dim and smoky, and there were many oil lamps lit in the innermost part, and all kinds of spices.

I squeaked in through the crack in the door, and as soon as I entered, the half-open door creaked shut. I was startled, and Luo Dajin's voice came from outside the door: "My son Luo Jiute came to offer incense to his ancestors." ”

I almost cried, so I gritted my teeth and walked forward.

The ancestral hall is not too big, with a few chairs in the middle, most likely used by the stockade for deliberations, and some strange patterns on the walls on both sides. I walked through the council hall to the shrine, which was filled with all kinds of spiritual seats, large and small, which should be the spiritual seats of the ancestors of the entire village.

Incense is burning on the incense burner, and there is an unused incense burner next to it.

I thought to myself, anyway, Luo Dajin didn't come in, I'll just put on a stick of incense and fool him. The Luo Jiu he was talking about was not me at all. But the dead people on the spiritual throne are all older than me, and it doesn't matter if I kowtow to them.

After I lit the incense, I held it with both hands, then knelt on the ground, and said in my heart, "I am not from you here, and I don't want to use incense...... I'm going back to my parents. You all give me some face, and let me put the incense in the incense burner. ”

I kowtowed a few times, then stood up, and when I put the incense into the incense burner, a strange wind came out of nowhere, and the three incense sticks in my hand were extinguished at once, and the air around my body was much colder.

Hell, could it be that someone knows what I think in my heart and doesn't let me incense. I turned around and looked around, and whispered, "What the hell, don't hide in the dark, you have the ability to come out and face to face with me......"

I shouted several times, but there was no answer at all, except for the shaking of the oil lamp. There was no second person in the entire ancestral hall except me. I was about to go crazy, gritting my teeth to prevent myself from crying, no one, there may be something I can't see, such as the Gu God who drinks blood, I can't see it.

Just when I was at a loss, an extremely small voice came from the side of the shrine: "You...... Don't be afraid, I'm here too...... Don't speak loudly. There was panic in her voice, and you could hear that it was a girl's voice, and it sounded familiar.

I also lowered my voice and asked, "You...... Are you a human or a ghost...... Or a Gu God...... "If it's a girl, then it won't be a Gu God."

The voice came again: "I'm not a ghost, I'm a human!" I'm Fang Xiaoyuan, and I went to look for you yesterday evening. ”

Only then did I remember that after Luo Dajin went out yesterday, in the evening, a girl named Fang Xiaoyuan in a blue cloth dress came to me.

But how could she be here?

I followed the sound and walked over, and by the shrine, there was a small door, and in it there was a small room, which was supposed to be for the people who kept the ancestral hall.

When I came in, the light was dim, so I didn't know.

I said, "Fang Xiaoyuan, why did you come here?" ”

Fang Xiaoyuan's voice was very low, and he said cautiously: "I heard that you were going to worship the ancestral hall when you were a child, so I secretly ran in...... The Night's Watch won't be here today. I have something to tell you. Her voice was even quieter than before, and a breeze blew his voice away.

I already had some confidence that Fang Xiaoyuan was a good person, so I asked, "What do you have to tell me?" ”

Fang Xiaoyuan asked rhetorically: "Do you know why Uncle Jin worships the ancestral hall when he chooses a son?" If he really wants to accept you as a son, why don't he worship the ancestral hall during the day to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? ”

I was stunned, since Luo Dajin told me in the morning that he wanted to worship the ancestral hall, I simply thought that he just wanted me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and obediently accept the identity of "Luo Jiu".

I didn't pay attention to the time of "sub-time", listening to Fang Xiaoyuan say this, I felt that something was wrong, sub-hour is twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, how to say that it will not be an auspicious time, why can't you choose any time of the day?

I shook my head like a rattle, "I don't know. ”

Fang Xiaoyuan asked again: "Since you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you need the approval of your clansmen." But there is no one in the ancestral hall except you, and even the night watchman is gone, isn't it even more strange! ”

I was completely dumbfounded, in our hometown, the ancestral hall for children was lively, crowded with people, and firecrackers were set off. Even if the customs are different, it is impossible not to have no one.

I asked, "So what's going on?" ”

Fang Xiaoyuan said: "Actually, there are other things in the ancestral hall besides us. They're all in there...... It's just that you can't see it, and I can't see it clearly. They are the ones Luo Dajin came to testify......"

When I heard this, I was so scared that I fell to the ground. Fang Xiaoyuan's meaning is very clear, in addition to me, there are many "things" in the ancestral hall that cannot be detected by the naked eye. These things can't come out during the day, and the living have to avoid them, so Luo Dajin chooses to worship the ancestral hall when he chooses his son, and the night watchman doesn't keep the ancestral hall.

"You mean...... Are there any ghosts in the ancestral hall? "I kind of understand why Fang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to speak out loud.
