Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 170 Chen Cang Stone Drum
"Grandpa, do you think he can do it?"

Outside the Town God's Temple, Chu Feng was somewhat skeptical. After all, the Chu family had exhausted all their methods for hundreds of years, but they failed to make their ancestors manifest.

There are even many ancestors in the clan who feel that the ancestors should have left the world, and it is impossible to contact them again.

However, Chu Feng knew that his grandfather never gave up contacting the ancestors, not because contacting the ancestors would make the Chu family more brilliant.

According to the rules of the Chu family, members of the Chu family have guarded Rongcheng for generations.

This family rule is the first one written in their Chu family's rules, and it is also destined that their Chu family will not strive for hegemony.

Grandpa is so obsessed with contacting the ancestors because of the second grandpa.

Because of the actions of the second grandfather back then, there was a negative energy in his body, and he had never married so far. The line of the second grandfather can be said to be unprecedented.

That's not to mention, the yin energy on Second Grandpa's body became stronger and stronger every year, and the torture he suffered became more and more severe. If this continues, he might not be able to last for a few years.

"He is the only chance for our Chu family right now."

Chu Xiong was not 100% sure, asking Su Le to contact the ancestors was just a way he came up with, whether it would be successful or not, only God knows.

Inside the Chenghuang Temple.

Su Le picked up the writing brush that was placed in front of the statue stand. According to what the head of the Chu family said, this writing brush was one of the few items left by their ancestors.

Holding the writing brush in his hand, Su Le could feel that the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body became active at this moment, it actually surged toward his arm, and finally poured into the writing brush.

This change made Su Le's eyes brighten, and without hesitation, he directly picked up the pen and wrote it behind the stele.

Su Le, a Confucian disciple, asks to see Senior Chu Mi.

Finishing the pen, the gloss appeared on the stele again, as if to erase the twelve characters, but the twelve characters themselves also exuded a faint blue light, which was against the light of the stele.

The light faded, but the twelve words written by Su Le were still there. This result made Su Le happy.

The Chu family can't leave words on this stele, but they did it themselves. It seems that it is really because I am a disciple of Confucianism.

Now, it depends on whether the ancestors of the Chu family are here or not, and whether they can respond.

While Su Le was waiting, a voice sounded in the temple.

"what!

The "huh" made Su Le's hair stand on end in an instant, because a terrifying cold aura instantly filled the entire temple.

Outside the Town God's Temple, although the yin energy did not spread, Chu Xiong still noticed the changes inside the Town God's Temple. If the original Town God's Temple seemed to be in ruins, but now it seemed like an abyss, daunting.

"Success, Su Le succeeded!"

Chu Feng couldn't help screaming out, the Chu family also had excited expressions on their faces, and the changes in the Town God's Temple must have something to do with their ancestors.

"Ying, there is hope."

Chu Xiong also looked at his younger brother excitedly, but Chu Ying's expression was the calmest among the Chu family.

"Brother, at my age, it doesn't matter if I'm good or not."

"It's different, it's different. In fact, the position of Patriarch of the Chu family should belong to you."

For his younger brother, Chu Xiong felt guilty. He didn't tell Su Le and the descendants of the Chu family that he was supposed to carry the statue of the ancestors back then, but his younger brother did it first.

My younger brother's cultivation talent is higher than my own, and he was also the heir of the head of the family appointed by the elders at that time. It was for the sake of myself, my brother, that my younger brother made such a big sacrifice.

"Brother, I made such a choice back then, but you don't need to blame yourself."

Chu Ying knew that her elder brother had been blaming himself for this matter for so many years, but he never regretted his original choice.

……

"May I ask if it's Senior Chu Mi?"

Inside the City God's Temple, Su Le also asked respectfully at this moment, but as his words fell, a cloud of yin suddenly enveloped him, and the next moment, Su Le realized that he was no longer in the City God's Temple.

It was dark all around him.

"Little friend, go forward."

The voice came again. Without hesitation, Su Le stepped forward. After 10 minutes, there was a faint light in front of his eyes. Seeing the situation ahead, his eyes froze.

In front, there is a dark hole, and sitting at the hole is a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes.

"Junior Su Le has met Senior Chu Mi."

Su Le judged that this person should be Chu Mi, the ancestor of the Chu family. The reason is very simple. This person's clothes and temperament are the same as that of Xinzhou City God Su Yun.

"You don't need to be polite, little friend, can you tell me what happened outside."

Facing Chu Mi's question, Su Le was a little surprised, but thinking that the Chu family hadn't contacted this person for hundreds of years, there must be something wrong, and it's normal not to know the outside situation.

Otherwise, if this one makes a move, Rongcheng will not be invaded by the Japanese invaders.

Su Le gave a brief introduction to the external situation, because according to Chu Xiong, the head of the Chu family, they lost contact with their ancestors 400 years ago, that is, in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Su Le mainly mentioned the Qing Dynasty later, and then modern Chinese history.

"I didn't expect that in a few hundred years, the land of China would undergo such a drastic change. The barbarians invaded and the people were devastated. I am ashamed to be the City God of Banyan City."

Chu Mi said with a look of self-blame on his face at the end. As the city god, it is his duty to protect the people of one side.

"Senior, don't blame yourself. Your descendants also made huge sacrifices in order to protect Rongcheng, and there must be some unavoidable reasons for this senior."

Su Le's words were not consolation, but he believed that the City God must have lost contact with the outside world for some reason, otherwise it would be impossible to sit idly by.

"Little friend has a quick mind. The reason why I lost contact with the outside world is because it dragged me down and I couldn't get away."

Chu Mi's words made Su Le look at the dark hole in front of him. What is there in this hole that can make the City God unable to escape?

"If the existence in this hole is allowed to come out, the whole world will usher in a disaster. As the city god of Rongcheng, I must sit here."

"Senior, what is the origin of this hole?"

A city god has been guarding it for 400 years, and he can't even communicate with the outside world. Su Le is even more curious about this dark cave entrance.

"Chen Cang Shigu, do you know?" Chu Mi asked back.

Chen Cang Stone Drum!

Su Le's pupils contracted a bit. Of course he knew that one of the nine national treasures of China, the earliest stone-carved poetry in China, is also known as the ancestor of seal script.

"During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, ghosts and monsters were rampant. After the king of Zhou conquered the world, he built ten stone drums to suppress the ten most powerful aliens at that time. The one suppressed in this cave is one of them."

"However, over the years, the power of the seal on the stone drum has become weaker and weaker, and the existence inside is extremely cunning. At the beginning, the old man was deceived and lured here, accidentally opened the seal, and finally had to guard it personally. 400 years never left."

"The stele in the Chenghuang Temple was originally left by the old man to future generations. For 400 years, I have been expecting someone to contact me through the stele. It is a pity that the descendants of my Chu family have no Confucian disciples, and there is no righteousness in my body. , cannot be contacted through the tablet."

"The good thing is that the descendants of my Chu family are not stupid, and they know how to find Confucian disciples like Xiaoyou. Fortunately, Xiaoyou is here now. If it is a few years later, even if Xiaoyou contacts me, I am afraid it will be too late." There is no way to stop the existence in the hole from completely breaking through and fleeing."

"Senior, what do you mean by that?"

Su Le was a little surprised, but Chu Mi's expression was a little weird, and she sighed: "I haven't had the power of incense and offerings for nearly a hundred years. In order to maintain the seal, the old man has almost exhausted the divine power in his body."
