Chapter 31: The Patriarch is shocked
In a blink of an eye, the grandparents and grandchildren came to the gate of the outer courtyard of the family ancestral hall, and it was the ninth uncle who was standing on duty.
Ding Zhengyi looked at Uncle Nine from the gap in his grandfather's clothes, and felt some feelings in his heart.
Uncle Nine was injured during the shallow sea search operation last year, so he didn't sign up this year, and he just escaped this catastrophe, which is where the blessing of misfortune depends.
"Hello Elder Shou!"
Uncle Nine saw Ding Changshou and Ding Zhengyi approaching, and hurriedly bowed to Ding Changshou to say hello.
"Lao Jiu, don't be polite, do you have any orders from the patriarch today?"
Ding Changshou nodded slightly in return and asked in a low voice.
Ding Zhengyi knew that Uncle Nine was on duty in the family ancestral hall all the year round, and there would definitely be no shortage of contact with the patriarch, and some miscellaneous matters of passing on the word were undoubtedly handed over to him to do the most suitable.
This thought flashed through his mind, but then Ding Zhengyi was keenly aware that someone seemed to be peeping at him, and hurriedly looked around to find out the reason.
"Are Elder Shou and Little Eighteen here? ”
Ding Changming's deep voice floated out of the courtyard at the right time.
This Ding Zhengyi understands that the divine sense of the Zhuji monk can probe the surrounding area, and if Ding Changming is willing, the entire ancestral hall will be under his supervision at any time.
However, the release of divine consciousness is very easy to fatigue and difficult to last, and there is no special reason, and monks above the foundation generally do not release divine consciousness at will.
It should have been the conversation between Ding Changshou and Uncle Jiu that alarmed the patriarch, and under the investigation of his divine sense, he naturally discovered his grandfather and himself.
It's just that the feeling of being spied on suddenly became a little worse with the sound of the voice.
Ding Zhengyi was suddenly taken aback, but then this feeling disappeared, which made him touch his head and laugh at himself, whether he had been a little suspicious recently.
Without thinking much about it, the ancestors and grandsons did not hesitate when they heard the greeting of the patriarch, and immediately stepped into the ancestral hall compound.
At the door of the ancestral compound, only the lonely figure of Uncle Jiu remained.
The two walked a few steps, and after a while, they saw Ding Changming, who was standing next to a spiritual tea tree in the courtyard.
At this time, the patriarch pinched the turquoise tea buds in one hand, and turned his head to look at Ding Zhengyi and them who came in.
"Little Eighteen, did you just find out about my Divine Sense Exploration?"
Ding Changming showed a rare puzzled expression, and did not greet Ding Changshou next to him, and asked eagerly.
"I just had the feeling of being watched. ”
Ding Zhengyi answered truthfully, and only then did he understand that the feeling of being peeped at just now should have come from the patriarch's divine sense investigation.
"Huh... Have you noticed anything unusual lately, or noticed anything out of the ordinary?"
Ding Changming's confusion turned to curiosity.
Because he clearly remembered that just a few days ago, he asked Ding Zhengyi to entrust the task, and Ding Zhengyi didn't notice it at that time with the same divine sense.
"Something unusual?"
These days, all of Ding Zhengyi's thoughts are spent on practicing talisman making, and he has no time to pay attention to other situations, and at this time, the patriarch suddenly asked, he really has nothing to say.
"Successfully draw an intermediate rune seal, does this count?"
After thinking about it for a while, Ding Zhengyi still didn't know the point, so he simply took out the intermediate fireball talisman that he had just drawn last night.
"It's only been a few days, and you've drawn the intermediate spirit rune!"
Ding Changming's curiosity was instantly replaced by surprise, and he hurriedly reached out to take the spirit rune, burying his head in a closer look.
Ding Zhengyi noticed that the patriarch's hand seemed to tremble slightly at this time.
Although the intermediate fireball talisman was not worth mentioning in Ding Changming's eyes, no matter how much this spirit talisman was, it couldn't break through his mana shield, but an intermediate talisman maker was a treasure of the family.
Since the beginning of the records, the Ding family has given birth to more than ten intermediate talisman makers.
Each of them is the backbone of the family and has shone in the history of the family.
Although intermediate talisman makers are rare in the family, it is not worth Ding Changming's surprise.
What shocked him was that Ding Zhengyi had only practiced for a few days before he was able to draw an intermediate talisman seal and be promoted to an intermediate talisman maker, which was really a bit shocking.
This kind of talisman making talent is incredible, and according to Ding Changming's understanding, such a situation is also very rare in the sect.
Moreover, the talisman makers that the sect focuses on cultivating are all thousands of choices, and the resources consumed are even more loaded.
Even so, the threshold from a low-level talisman to an intermediate talisman is still extremely high, and without a year and a half of practice accumulation, this level is difficult to cross.
However, Ding Zhengyi didn't show such talent when he drew low-level runes, so how could there be such a huge change now?
A question just popped up in Ding Changming's heart, but it was immediately replaced by excitement.
At this time, the two thin spirit runes in his hand were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the excitement in his heart was incomprehensible, making his whole body tremble slightly.
Ding Zhengyi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the patriarch behaving like this.
Although he also knew that it was very difficult to draw intermediate runes, there was no need for Ding Changming to be so out of shape.
Turning his head to look at his grandfather again, Ding Zhengyi found that Ding Changshou was flushed not only on his face, but also on his neck.
His eyes were round, his mouth was open, and he had an ecstatic expression.
At this time, no matter how slow Ding Zhengyi was, he also realized that it seemed that the difficulty of drawing an intermediate rune seal might be much more difficult than what he had experienced.
The energy that the patriarch and grandfather were about to be irrepressible was still accumulating, although Ding Zhengyi could clearly feel it, but at this time there was silence around him, and Ding Zhengyi did not dare to come out, for fear of affecting the thoughts of the two.
After a while, Ding Changming recovered, and he took a long breath, as if he had calmed down his excitement.
After returning the spirit talisman to Ding Zhengyi, Ding Changming then stared at him with a complicated expression.
Yiding Zhengyi's current calmness was also seen by the patriarch's eyes full of emotion, and he was a little panicked.
"By the way, I seem to have had an epiphany the other day. ”
Ding Zhengyi couldn't bear Ding Changming's gaze, and quickly changed the topic and said.
"Well, the epiphany is also good. ”
Ding Changming didn't seem to have completely come out of his thinking, so he replied casually.
"What? Epiphany!"
Then he let out a soft sigh, and the energy that had been accumulating before was suddenly released, causing him to lose control in an instant, and his brain went blank.
The full foundation building monk was coercive and sudden, and Ding Zhengyi bore the brunt of it, making him uncomfortable.
Ding Changshou, who was standing on the side, seemed to be awakened by this coercion, and was looking at Ding Changming hesitantly.
"Little Eighteen came with me to the ashram. ”
After a while, Ding Changming woke up, slowly restrained his coercion, beckoned to Ding Zhengyi and took the lead in walking towards the quiet room in the backyard.
At this time, he seemed to be doing everything as usual, but his slightly chaotic footsteps revealed the panic in Ding Changming's heart at this time.
"Elder Shou, go to the ancestral hall first, remember, don't tell anyone what you saw or heard just now!"
As soon as he took two steps, Ding Changming seemed to think of something again, and turned around and told Ding Changshou seriously.
Everything that happened today made him feel a little unsure, and there was a phenomenon of loss of control just now, and his thoughts are still in chaos.
The two things Ding Zhengyi said shocked Ding Changming more and more.
With so many mood swings triggered by just a few words that are as much as the sum of recent years, it's no wonder he's so out of shape.
Just now, Ding Changming saw Ding Changshou's puzzled expression, and the figure of Lao Jiu outside the courtyard gate who seemed to be hesitant to come in, so he reacted instantly.
Whether it is Ding Zhengyi's identity as an intermediate talisman master at this time, or his experience of epiphany, it must not be passed on, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and it will definitely not be something that a small Xiuzhen family like them can bear.
