Villager of Destiny

Hearing this, my eyes could not help shrinking.

I thought that the connection between the clan of corpses and Lord Taishan was very early, but now it seems that it is much earlier than I thought.

decades?
or longer?
I subconsciously took another look at the statue of Lord Taishan who seemed to be far away, but it was also this look, and I felt that he seemed to be looking at me too.

It was as if a gaze fell on me from the statue, and I suddenly became short of breath.

"what happened?"

Sensing my change, Mr. Young Ghost took a look at me.

I looked away, shook my head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised."

"I didn't expect you to have such a deep connection with Lord Taishan."

The young ghost shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then looked around, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I don't believe in this Lord Taishan. If I can, I will smash his statue sooner or later."

I froze for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

The young Mr. Ghost curled his lips and said, "Think about it, we are in the lineage of exorcising corpses, and we are companions of the dead. To put it bluntly, it is unlucky and against the harmony of heaven."

"For people like us, if this Lord Taishan is a true god, will he protect us?"

"Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not bless you."

"I think they all seem to believe in it." I thought for a while and said.

The young Mr. Ghost said disdainfully: "It's all ignorance."

"Our lineage has been considered stable for so many years, but they attribute the reason for the stability to the blessing of Lord Taishan."

"In particular, there are some old guys who have secretly called the Lord Taishan the monarch, saying that they have received the blessing of the Lord Taishan."

"Anyway, I don't believe it."

The blessing of Lord Taishan?
If I remember correctly, when I was on Huangquan Road in Badong Village, what was said at that time was also the blessing of Lord Taishan.

Now it seems that Lord Taishan's influence on this lineage of exorcising corpses has indeed been very early.

So this illusion, the point of exploration, is it also here?
While I was thinking about it, the young Mr. Ghost was already walking towards Zudi Mountain.

I saw this and followed.

At this time, there are already a lot of people on the ancestral land, and if nothing unexpected happens, most of the people from the corpse village should have come to this place.

I followed Mr. Ghost all the way to the mountainside and stopped. Here I saw an ancestral hall. There were already many people inside and outside the ancestral hall at this time. There were many offering tables and incense burners on them.

There are almost three sticks of incense sticking on the incense burners, but they are not lit.

And for those censers that didn't have incense sticks in them, some people put incense in them one after another after they came here.

I looked at this scene and felt a little dazed for a moment, because it was so real.

At this moment, the old man who was called the village head by the young Mr. Ghost came to us. Seeing that the young Mr. Ghost was leading me honestly, he patted the young Mr. Ghost on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "Little ghost, this That's right."

"This foreign friend just happened to catch up with our ancestor worship. Let him come and see, it's worth the trip."

The young ghost rolled his eyes and said, "What's so interesting about worshiping ancestors?"

"It's not that I don't know where to take him, that's why I don't come here."

The old man glared at the young Mr. Ghost, as if he didn’t want to talk nonsense with him anymore, he looked at me again, and said with a smile: “Young man, if you are interested, you can look around, but when the ancestor worship begins tomorrow, don’t Running around."

"Especially the top of the mountain must not go."

"Why?" I subconsciously asked.

The old man glanced at the statue of the Taishan Mansion on the top of the mountain, and said respectfully: "That is the root of our lineage. Except for us, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will."

Speaking of this, the old man whispered: "If you break in without authorization, you may never be able to get out."

I was a little surprised, and after taking a look at the statue of the Taishan Mansion, I looked away, and said with a smile: "Then it seems that I will not wander around, and if something happens, I will cause trouble for you."

"I'll just take a look around and join in the fun."

"Okay, okay." The old man nodded again and again, and then left in a cold voice after glancing at Mr. Ghost again.

After he left, the young Mr. Ghost cut his throat and said: "God is talking, how can it be so scary."

"If you still trespass, you can't get out?"

"Why didn't I know this happened."

I smiled and said, "Maybe he just doesn't want foreigners like me wandering around, and that's normal."

"But it can be seen that it is really important there."

The young Mr. Ghost spread his hands and said indifferently: "That's it, if you have an idea, I can sneak you there!"

I shook my head.

"Look here first."

Seeing my refusal, the young Mr. Ghost seemed to feel bored, so he pointed to the surroundings and said, "Look, I'm leaving in a while, just let me know, and I'll take you to my house."

"it is good."

I responded and walked towards the ancestral hall.

There are more tables in the ancestral hall.

In addition to the altar, there are also coffins, and those coffins are obviously unusual, with golden patterns and engravings on them. I just took a look at them and felt that there should be some extraordinary things lying in those coffins.

Apart from those coffins, what attracted my attention was the statue in the center of the ancestral hall.

I originally thought that what is enshrined here should be something like the ancestor's spiritual tablet of the corpse lineage, but I never thought it would be the statue of the Lord Taishan.

It's just that this statue of Taishan Mansion is not special. I stared at it for a while and found nothing else.

After looking around again and finding nothing, I walked out of the ancestral hall. At this time, I was almost sure that the root of this illusion, if nothing else, was on the top of the mountain.

So the next thing I have to think about is how to go.

Just thinking about it carefully, what the village chief said to me before, I can see that he attaches great importance to the top of the mountain, otherwise there is no need to tell me those words to remind me.

And next is when they worship their ancestors. There will definitely be guards on the way to the top of the mountain. I guess it will not be so easy to go up, unless I force my way.

But in the current situation, forcibly breaking in may be counterproductive.

After walking out of the ancestral hall, I set my sights on the young Mr. Ghost.

Although I have rejected him once, now it seems that maybe he is the key to me to the top of the mountain.

After thinking for a while, I walked up to him and said, "Everyone is busy, I'm in the way here, why don't you go back first?"

The young Mr. Ghost yawned and said, "Let's go then."

"In the evening, if you are interested, I will bring you here again."

"Night?" I wondered.

The young Mr. Ghost nodded and said, "As soon as midnight tonight, everyone will start preparing for ancestor worship."

"When the time comes, all three of our branches will reveal their own backgrounds."

"It will be lively then."

"Okay. Then come back when the time comes!" I didn't refuse and nodded.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Maybe I can take advantage of that time and let him take me up the mountain!
