03 | Open the ancestral hall
Soon, under the teaching of Xuan Qing, the demon covered the meridians of his whole body with ghost energy.
Sure enough, she found a slumbering soul fragment in her heart.
The demon wrapped the fragment with ghostly energy, and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart, and Luan'er's memories flashed through his mind like a marquee.
Luan'er's remnant soul was indeed attached to her body.
Unconsciously, the demon felt a heat in her eyes, and the joy of her regained was indescribable, she looked at Xuan Qing gratefully, and handed him the scroll.
Xuan Qing trembled and took the scroll and carefully put it away.
"Come with me." He silently walked through the door of Jishitang.
The moment he turned around, the demon felt that his temperament seemed to age a lot in an instant.
The demon and Pu Jia followed Xuanqing into the Jishi Hall again, and the little boy hurriedly greeted him, knelt down respectfully and said, "Master Ancestor Wanfu." ”
Xuan Qing said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Xiu'er, get up quickly." ”
The boy named Xiu'er stood up and stepped aside.
"Xiao Xiu'er, your master is traveling far away, have you slackened your cultivation?" Xuan Qing asked with concern.
"Don't dare to slack off." Xiu'er replied respectfully, as if she was well-behaved, and she didn't see the careful flamboyance when she communicated with Pu Jia before.
"I have never slackened, but how can I improve?" Xuan Qing continued to ask.
"I've already touched the threshold of the third realm breakthrough." Xiu'er said.
As soon as these words came out, the two demons were really dumbfounded, looking at Xiu'er's age, but she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she had already touched the threshold of breaking through the third realm, and such a talent was not far behind the Chixia Immortals back then.
Perhaps guessing what they were thinking through the expressions of the two, Xiu'er said: "I just look younger because of my cultivation of medicine, but in fact, I am already in the age of a weak crown." ”
The demon gave Xiu'er a thumbs up and praised: "Heroes are young people, and the ancients don't deceive me." ”
Xiu'er smiled innocently, and after looking at Xuanqing, he immediately restrained his smile and said seriously: "Is the ancestor going to the apse ancestral hall?" ”
Xuan Qing said: "I was worried that you were lazy, and your cultivation was not enough to open the apse ancestral hall. But since you say that you have reached the bottleneck of the third realm, then I will leave the matter to you. ”
"Master, please do it." Xiu'er made a gesture of invitation to the three of them, and led the way in front of her.
"Demon girl, seeing that you are not very old, how did you know your ancestor?" Xiu'er asked casually.
"It's a long story." The demon succinctly explained the general story.
Xuan Qing cleared his throat and knocked a chestnut on Xiu'er's head.
"Xiao Xiu'er, what you mean by your words is that the master is too old?"
Xiu'er realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "The ancestor misunderstood, I mean to praise you for being approachable and amiable. ”
"Is that what you mean?" Xuan Qing asked in a long tone.
"This is natural, Xiu'er can still lie to you." Xiu'er said continuously.
Xuan Qing nodded in satisfaction.
"Senior, I have something to ask for." The demon asked.
"The demon girl might as well ask me." Xiu'er said, "If I don't know, it's not too late for you to ask your ancestor." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he lip-spoke to the demon and said another word: "My price is cheaper." ”
Unexpectedly, Xuan Qing raised his hand and gave him another chestnut: "You ask, our deal has been reached, and I can answer any questions you have." ”
"I remember that you used to be a doctor and Taoist, why do you now work as a fortune teller?" The demon asked.
"Xiao Xiu'er, you can answer."
"Okay Master." Xiu'er shook her head and continued, "The healer is a family. ”
Seeing that the demon was still confused, Xiu'er continued to explain: "Luozhou Realm and Daze both belong to Southern Xinjiang, and the doctors in Southern Xinjiang mostly practice the way of witch doctors, using witchcraft divination to hexagram and healing the world. Therefore, most of the doctors in Jishitang are witch doctors. ”
"So, you're also proficient in divination?" The demon asked.
Xiu'er puffed up her chest and said, "This is nature. ”
"I don't believe it, unless you can make a divination for me." Demon Dao.
Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I've already divined the hexagram for you." ”
"When?"
"Demon girl, seeing that you are not very old, why do you have such a bad memory?"
"I still can't remember when you did a divination for me?" The demon said frankly.
"The people at the end of the world are at hand, and the people at the end of the world are at hand." Xiu'er said.
"Does that count?" The demon asked rhetorically.
"Why not? It is not only about the future, but also about people's hearts. The relationship between one side is clear in the chest. Xiu'er said.
"So, you look at your face?"
"Superficial, this is called the art of face-to-face." Xiu'er said.
"It's almost, it doesn't matter if it's a face or a face, it's all about the face anyway." Demon Dao.
"You don't have a reason to say that." Xiu'er said.
Under the surprised gaze of Pu Jia and Xuan Qing, the two of them asked and answered all the way, and came to the apse when they met each other.
"Demon girl, you wait for me to open the ancestral hall first, and then I will explain to you in detail the principle of tortoiseshell divination." Xiu'er said.
The demon said: "It's important to get down to business, don't be busy." ”
Xiu'er motioned for the demon to take a few steps back, and the demon came to Pu Jia's side and stood side by side with him.
I saw Xiu'er conjure a medicine box out of thin air, grabbed an unknown pill from it, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
The next moment, the pill melted in his abdomen, and his body was covered with a pale golden halo.
He walked slowly to the closed door of the apse, and each hand clenched a knocker, and then the pale golden light poured towards the brass knocker like a river entering the sea, and in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed up by the knocker.
After that, Xiu'er was shrouded in a layer of light green streamer, which was also absorbed by the door knocker in just a moment.
At this time, the demon noticed the change on the door panel, first pale gold runes appeared, and then light green runes.
Xiu'er's body lit up with blue, red, and yellow streamers one after another, and after being absorbed by the copper door knocker, the door panel was also covered with corresponding five-color runes.
Pale gold represents gold, light green represents wood, dark blue represents water, crimson represents fire, yellow-brown represents earth, and five colors and five elements.
Xiu'er sat on the ground a little weakly, although his face was as white as paper, but it was full of joy.
"Master, I did it."
With Xiu'er's words, the gate slowly opened inward, Xuan Qing stepped forward, helped Xiu'er up, and said, "Xiao Xiu'er, your master is the apse ancestral hall that opened when he was twenty-seven years old. ”
"Where's the ancestor?" Xiu'er asked.
Xuan Qing didn't answer, slowly turned around and said to the demon: "Girl, what you want is in this ancestral hall, you can come in with me and get it." ”
