That night, after listening to Chen Ping's words, Chen Tong was quite dissatisfied, "Tomorrow you drive him away, and no outsiders can be left in the village." ”

Chen Ping snorted, "Dad, it's been a few days since my aunt." ”

Chen Tong snorted heavily, and decided to go in person tomorrow, and all possible unfavorable factors must be eliminated before February 18. He sneered, "Tomorrow, you and the others will arrest Chen Jia back." ”

"Dad, I think it's better to report to the official, killing my mother is a big crime, Chen Jia again..."

"Fart. Chen Tong scolded angrily, he has always boasted of being a Sven, and today he scolded for the first time and immediately stopped Chen Ping.

"Tomorrow, I will immediately arrest Chen Jia with a few people sent by the patriarch and come back, so that the patriarch can deal with it. Chen Tong's tone softened slightly and drove him out. He was uneasy, and his intuition was that this person was likely to bring about a change in his scheme, but the only young son he could negotiate with was not at home.

In the end, he decided to go to the ancestral shrine himself. At two o'clock, most of the people in the village rested, he changed into black clothes, his movements were fast and agile, and he rushed all the way to the ancestral shrine, obviously practicing martial arts. He leaned on the wall, and saw that the widower guarding the ancestral hall had turned off the lights, and only the main hall of the ancestral hall was lit up, so he quietly entered.

Chen's ancestral hall is divided into two entrances, the front hall is used to set up sacrifices, stop the spirit to care for the orphan, the back hall has a high and more than three zhang of the spirit platform, divided into five layers, the top row of three spirit seats, is the Chen family migrated from the north from several ancestors, with marble carved tablet, and the inside does enshrine their golden pagoda bones. In addition to these three stone carved tablets, there is also a row of stone carvings on the third floor, and there are bones, and the rest are wooden tablets.

The custom here is different from other places, after the death of the elder, the spirit must be suspended in the ancestral hall for seven days, and then a sacrifice is set up to send the burial. If the descendants are prosperous, or if the financial resources allow, they will dig up the grave after five years, or even longer, wash the bones with liquor, and invite the bones of the ancestors into the golden pagoda for another burial, also known as "bone picking".

It's just that this kind of burial method is now extremely rare, and even rejected by people, thinking that it disturbs the rest of the ancestors, and has even been criticized for not respecting the ancestors, not emphasizing education, and barbarism, but for the Chen family's emigration ethnic group, it is an important custom to find a treasure land of feng shui for the ancestors' spiritual position, and it is also an important custom that shows that the ancestors are most valued for etiquette.

The location of the ancestral hall is limited, and in addition to the earliest ancestors, there is only one person who can invite the bones into the ancestral hall, and this person is the only one who has been lifted by the Chen family for hundreds of years.

Chen Tong bypassed the patio, picked up three sticks of incense and lit them, knelt down and prayed in his mouth. Chen Tong immediately shouted in his heart, "The fifteenth grandson meets the seventh ancestor. ”

He knew that this ancestor's spiritual power was limited, and he had to ask questions as soon as possible, so he asked in his heart, "Ancestor, I feel that there are external forces disturbing me today, and I am afraid that there will be variables, and I will be the first to be attacked. ”

It's just that after a while, I got a response in my heart, and I was very satisfied at the moment, and then I bowed, and the fragrance was burned, and the incense ashes were carefully buried to hide the traces. Wait until tomorrow and go with the patriarch and let Chen Jingzhi leave Miaozhu Village. Pay attention, and then go home satisfied.

Chen Jingzhi was sitting in Liu's house, he was now focused on recovering his physical body, and the other thing was to break through the realm in front of him as soon as possible. When he was practicing in Donghua Dao, he was able to open the trick and collect qi at the age of fourteen, but Chen Chaoyuan had already arranged for him to press down on his cultivation and dabble in other things.

This heaven and earth are rich in spiritual power, it seems that there is little refining, and the cultivation is even faster than that of Donghua Dao, and it is believed that it only takes a few days to restore the physical body, and even cut off the golden lock and break the trick in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, there was a murmuring sound in his ears, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes swept away, and in the darkness, a three-foot-long flower snake poked its head out of the thatch, and the snake letter waved.

"Snake ghost?" Chen Jingzhi's eyebrows gently expanded, the snake ghost is just a person who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake because of resentment, possessed by the snake body, except for a body of poison, there is no mana, and it can be sanitized under the blazing sun. It's just that snakes and ghosts are infested, and someone must be raising them.

He was hesitating to kill the snake ghost when a rooster pounced on him after a few flutters. The snake ghost was frightened, and the snake coiled up to protect the snake's head. But the rooster spread his double grip around the snake ghost, and kept pounced, and when the snake's head popped out, it jumped up again.

When the rooster saw that the time had come, when the head of the snake fell, the rooster jumped down. However, Chen Jingzhi sneered, although this snake ghost is extremely low in mana, but the wisdom is acceptable, knowing that this rooster has not opened its wisdom, it is purely a temptation, and sure enough, when the rooster thought that the snake ghost was frightened and jumped down, the snake body burst up, and the snake's head poked towards the rooster's abdomen.

Chen Jingzhi flicked his fingers and pinned the snake's head to the ground with a bang. The rooster was startled and rushed out of the door. Chen Jingzhi smiled, with some smugness on his face. After a while, the rooster poked his head in, looked around, saw that there was no danger, and quickly pecked the snake ghost and left.

It is very unusual for a snake ghost to come here in the middle of the night, it is definitely man-made, and now it is sure that he will be targeted, thinking about it, and saying in his heart, "It should be because of the fish beads that I got today." "The spiritual energy in the fish beads gathers together, and it is very easy to refine and absorb, even mortals can refine and replenish their body and qi.

"Now that it's in my hands, where is the reason to send it out?" Chen Jingzhi smiled, and there will definitely be more people coming next.

At this time, in a courtyard a few miles away, Zhai Po knelt in front of a statue of a god with five small lids carved with snakes, scorpions, bats, centipedes, and toads on them. She looked to be in her fifties, her hair was gray, and she recited a few incantations, and her daughter stepped forward to help her up, and then burned a few runes.

"Mother, is there really a silver dragon fish bead?" The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a melon seed face.

"Yuemei, don't worry, the news from today is that kid caught in the turtle dragon pool, and it has already been spread by Hu Dian's family. Zhai Po said that it was a pity here, "I knew that there were fish beads in the turtle dragon pond, so why should I go far?"

"Yes, mother, but the turtle dragon pond has never been able to come back after going down, where can it be calculated?" Yan Yuemei was happy in her heart, and said coquettishly, "Mother, if I get Yuzhu, I can also serve the gods." ”

"Yes, my good daughter, you will also be a fairy goddess in the future. Zhai Po looked at her daughter lovingly, was helped to sit down, and sighed, "Your mother and I are almost thirty years old to communicate with the gods, if you get the help of the baby, you can be sixteen years old, and you will definitely achieve something in the future, maybe there is still a place for you in front of the gods." ”

"Mother, you have worked hard for the god of fasting for so many years, and the god of fasting remembers your good. Yan Yuemei was quite proud when she heard this compliment, and a smile bloomed on her face.

Zhai Po loves this daughter very much, and if there is a good one, it will be passed on to her first. When the two were satisfied, there was a bang, and a small ding exploded, causing Yan Yuemei to scream in shock. Zhai Po was very calm, stepped in front of the idol, gritted her teeth and said, "Good ability, even my little ghost can be killed." ”

"Mother, what's wrong?" Yan Yuemei calmed down and asked in a panic.

"Yuemei, you don't have to be afraid. Zhai Po turned around, comforted her a few times, and then said coldly, "This kid is a bit of a doorman, and it seems that he has to use other means." After speaking, let Yan Yuemei go out, close the door, kneel in front of the statue, and chant words in her mouth, and after a while, a bat flew out of the small ding, fluttering a few times and flying out of the window.

This bat is the strongest mana among the five ghosts she domesticated, it flies fast, and it is extremely useful, and she also invested money in order to get the fish beads.

Chen Jingzhi went out of the house at this time, hiding in a hidden place, his eyesight was acceptable, and now the hazy moonlight, after waiting for a long time, a bat flew from the moonlight, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be extremely difficult to find. The bat spread its wings, about a foot, lay on the thatched hut, and after a few more moments slipped in.

As if it hadn't noticed anything, the bat came out of the house again and made a small noise. Then it circled for a long time before flying away. Chen Jingzhi waited for a while, and found that the bat flew back again, and only after he couldn't find the figure again did he fly away.

Chen Jingzhi looked at the direction of the bat and secretly followed, the village was originally not big, but in a moment he knew where the bat came from. Secretly said, "It turned out to be Zhai Po, according to the people in the village, this person has some spells, it seems that you have to be careful of this person to do it." ”

He returned to the house, and his heart was urgent, and he immediately turned all the fish beads away, and then kept thinking. The next day, when it was dawn, he went to the market town with the red line, on the one hand, to buy food and clothing, and on the other hand, he intended to go to the market town to find some books. The best way to get to know the terroir is through books.

When I arrived in Deji Town, I bought three buckets of bean rice, three buckets of polished rice, a few feet of thick cotton cloth, five or six catties of wool cotton, and a few pills. Chen Jingzhi went to the only bookstore in the market town and bought five or six books, which were extremely expensive, but they were what he urgently needed.

In addition, there is also a harvest, the bookstore shopkeeper has been famous for many years, but he has not even achieved it as a child, but he only knows some words. He invaded his mind with the method of heart communication, so that he had some understanding of the words here, and only then did he have some plans for the future.

The two of them sat in the ox cart, and he looked back and forth through these rather rudimentary printed books, and after reading them, he had a general understanding. Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Jie'er Bridge, he put down the book, and around the corner, Chen Sanniang ran over.

"Brother, Grandpa Patriarch and Grandpa Muramasa are waiting for you to go back at home, and I have something to say to you. ”
