Chapter 2 Erlang, it's time for incense

"This is a world where Confucianism is respected, and you can gain rights, wealth, and power just by reading books. The biggest disaster this world faces is not natural disasters or wars, but the ubiquitous ghosts and the pervasive Ghost fog over the entire continent."

Although the memory in his mind is incomplete, Xu Ye already has a general understanding of the power system in this world.

The world he lives in is a country named "Liang".

Similar to the original world, in Daliang you can study, you can gain fame, obtain official titles, and earn wealth and status.

The difference is that through reading, scholars can also obtain something called awe-inspiring righteousness.

This awe-inspiring energy is somewhat similar to the true energy of monks in fantasy novels. It can be used to warm and nourish the body and refine weapons.

When the grandeur of righteousness has accumulated to a certain level, it is even enough to obtain abilities similar to magical powers.At least the original owner of his body had seen a Confucian scholar walk from the street to the end of the street with just one step, and with a wave of his sleeve, a gust of wind was drawn on the water.

For Xu Ye who is currently in trouble, this aura of grandeur is also a life-saving straw, because it is the nemesis of ghosts.

Yes, there are ghosts in this world.

To be precise, most of the world is occupied by ghosts, and there are very few human kingdoms like Daliang.

A large part of the reason why Daliang was able to establish a country in this world occupied by ghosts was the arrogance of this Confucian scholar.

"If it weren't for the original owner of this body, who has been spending time and money, ignorant and incompetent, and hasn't accumulated much righteousness, otherwise ghosts will never be entangled."

"If you want to expel the ghost now, you have to get the sacred object enshrined in the ancestral hall."

Xu Ye thought secretly in his heart.

According to the former owner of this body, one of the few memories about exorcising ghosts, if he does not have awe-inspiring aura, the only way to exorcise ghosts is through holy objects.

The so-called sacred objects are objects raised by Confucian scholars with their own awe-inspiring temperature, similar to the magic weapon of Taoism in the novel.

And this sacred object in the Xu family's ancestral hall came from Xu Jiuge, the first ancestor of the Xu family, and it was a ruler that the first ancestor used to teach when he was young.

"The way to stimulate the awe-inspiring righteousness in the sacred objects is to recite the famous poems and lines of the world. Although I don't know the articles and poems in this world, I still remember a few poems and articles in my original world, but I don't know. How effective it can be.”

"In addition, when exorcising ghosts, the poems to be recited are also particular. They must be murderous poems. I don't know if the few poems I prepared are effective."

Although he had countermeasures, Xu Ye was still a little uneasy.

For him, there is only one chance. If he doesn't grasp it, let alone avenge the family, he probably has to explain it here.

"Squeak..."

Just as Xu Ye was sorting out every step of the next plan step by step in his mind, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

I saw the ghost wearing Mannia's face, smiling and walking towards him gracefully.

Although Xu Ye's eyes were still open, the expression in his eyes had already faded away.

"Erlang, it's time to go."

Mannia came to the bed, picked up Xu Ye very gently, and put him on a wooden wheelchair pushed by a ghost maid behind her.

"After the fifteenth day, Mannia will be considered the Xu family, and I will definitely treat you well, Erlang."

While saying this, Mannia lowered her voice, and pressed her face to Xu Ye's, then licked her lips and continued:

"I, Mannia, will definitely eat you, Erlang, from head to toe, inch by inch, and we will never be separated again from now on."

Mannia's words made Xu Ye shudder.

The memory of the original owner of this body is mostly related to wine and women, so Xu Ye still doesn't quite understand why this ghost must eat him in the past fifteen years.

However, he vaguely speculated that it should be related to the ruler in the ancestral hall. It seemed that after the fifteenth day, the ghost would be able to touch or not be afraid of the ruler.

……

After a while.

Xu Ye, who was being pushed by Mannia's maidservant, came to the gate of the ancestral hall in the backyard in a wheelchair.

Today is a cloudy day, the sky is gloomy and gray, and the sun cannot be seen.

But even so, the ghost maid still held up the umbrella for Mannia.

And the gate of the ancestral hall was already full of "people".

These people, like Mannia, held an umbrella in their hands.

After noticing Xu Ye's arrival, those people standing with umbrellas at the gate of the ancestral hall turned their heads to look at them in unison, and then grinned to the back of their ears in unison, letting out very piercing laughter.

All these faces have appeared in Xu Ye's memory.

But it is obvious that they are just ghosts wearing their faces at the moment.

"Including the two around me, there are a total of 36 ghosts. Can you deal with them?"

After secretly counting, Xu Ye became nervous again.

But he had no choice.

"It seems that everyone is here."

The ghost Mannia giggled, and then personally pushed Xu Ye through the "crowd", and finally came to the front row.

And standing in the front row were Xu Ye's parents and eldest brother.

"Master, it's time to burn incense."

The ghost Mannia made a bow to Xu Ye's father.

"Um……"

The old man nodded mechanically.

He walked stiffly to the front of the ancestral hall, picked up a stick of incense from the desk and lit it slowly.

When the old man was burning incense, Xu Ye's lifeless gaze inadvertently fell on the ruler on the shelf of the incense table.

From a distance, it was a somewhat old piece of bamboo, very ordinary.

But for some reason, after Xu Ye's gaze fell on it, he felt inexplicably at ease.

"Brother, come and give Erlang a push."

After Xu Ye's eldest brother finished offering incense, Mannia, who was possessed by a ghost, suddenly greeted him with a smile.

As Xu Ye guessed, the ghost dared not get too close to the ruler.

"Snapped!……"

Brother Xu Ye, who had long been replaced by ghosts, came in front of Xu Ye with heavy steps.

In Xu Ye's memory, his elder brother was named Xu Yuan, he was tall, elegant and handsome. He had just been admitted to a famous academy in the city this year. Xu Ye's parents had great expectations for him.

If the ghost hadn't disguised itself as Mannia and used Xu Ye who was on the sick bed as a bait, it would have been difficult to kill him.

Xu Ye still remembered that the ghost lay on the bed for three whole days after killing Xu Yuan.

"Erlang, it's time to offer incense."

Xu Yuan pushed Xu Ye's hands and feet stiffly in front of the incense table, lit a stick of incense and put it on his hand, and then saluted with his hands and feet.

"it's time."

While playing with his "big brother", Xu Ye secretly took a deep breath, preparing to get up to get the ruler while the ghost was not paying attention.

Although his body was still extremely sore and limp, he still had the strength to get up to get the ruler after vomiting out the medicinal soup for several days.

"Where's... the ruler?"

But when Xu Ye was about to get up, he suddenly found that the shelf where the ruler was placed just now was empty.
