Chapter 79 Setting up an Altar in the Wu Clan's Ancestral Hall
After nailing the four nails, Gao Qingli said that he was going to pick something, and told us not to enter the ancestral hall until he came back, so as not to let the demon snake find that there was a threat approaching.Wang Hammer said that he was not a child, and he knew this, so Gao Qingli locked the box and handed it to Wang Hammer to take care of. He went straight to the mountain behind the village, and his figure was blocked by bushes after a while.

I suddenly heard someone calling me from behind, and I turned around to see that it was Ye Feiji's cousin, who came to call us for lunch.Wang Hammer smiled helplessly and said that he was like a beggar, and it was impolite to be unable to be a guest. Eating at the table would affect other people's appetites, so he stopped eating.

I didn't like it when I heard it, we still have to catch the beautiful snake, and asked him how to do it if he doesn't eat!If you don’t eat, you won’t have the energy to work, and whoever is responsible for losing the chain at critical moments.Wang Chuizi said that it would be good to get a chicken and roast it at the entrance of the village, and he had half a bottle of rice wine left just to deliver food, so he didn't have to worry about being rude.

I shook my head and didn't eat at all. I told my cousin Ye Feiji that I was not very hungry, and that I had to prepare too many things and time was urgent, so I would eat it at night.

It would be a lie to say that I am not hungry. After all, I didn’t even eat breakfast, and I didn’t have any formal lunch or dinner the whole day yesterday. Can I not be hungry?

Gao Qinglin might not be able to come back for a while, so Wang Hammer and I asked an aunt to buy a big fat chicken, skinned it in the stream between the rice fields at the entrance of the village, and roasted it over a fire, and shared half of it with each other.To be honest, I think this feeling is very good. The taste of this chicken is much better than that on the table with chopsticks on a plate. Am I also a beggar?

After the chicken was finished, we went back to wait outside the ancestral hall. At around 40:[-] in the afternoon, Gao Dao came back from the mountain with bundles of weeds and leaves on his body. I didn’t know anything except grapefruit leaves.I asked him what is the use of getting these things back. He told me that washing his body with these grasses and boiling water can cover up his breath.

It turns out that there is still this particularity. I took the weeds and went back to Ye Feiji's uncle's house to boil a few barrels of water, and the three of them took a bath with it.After that, Wang Hammer changed into Ye Feiji's cousin's clothes, and immediately changed from a beggar to a tall man. His whole person looked a little more supernatural. I don't know why he usually looks so sloppy.

After everything was ready, we called Village Chief Wu to open the gate of the ancestral hall, and closed the gate after entering.There is a courtyard ten meters away from the gate of the ancestral hall. On both sides of the courtyard are rooms for storing sundries. After entering the gate, there is another gate directly opposite the courtyard. There are two stone lions on the left and right sides of the gate.

The gate was not closed, and looking directly through the gate from the patio was a blue brick altar with a height of one person. This altar, like the stairs, went down one step at a time.The entire spirit table is about three meters long and two meters wide, and is divided into eight steps in total. Nearly a hundred spirit tablets are placed in an orderly manner on these eight steps.The spiritual tablet in the middle of the highest step is golden, with two names engraved on it, it should be the spiritual tablet of the first ancestor of the village.On the left and right sides of the ancestor's golden tablet are two blue tablet cards, and the top of these two tablet cards is also covered with red cloth. They should be the ancestor's two sons or his son and daughter-in-law. The rest of the tablet cards are all black. .In addition to the golden and blue spiritual tablet of the ancestors, many names are engraved on the remaining black spiritual tablets, and I am not interested in checking them carefully.

After Gao Qingli and Wang Hammer came in, they started to work. They took out the charms and pasted them on the wall. When they were not enough, they took out the seal and yellow paper from the box and started printing again.I was puzzled and asked them whether these spells that they printed casually were effective?If it's useless, why make so many!If it is useful, will the beautiful snake know that the danger is approaching.

Gao Qingli told me with a smile that the spells would only be effective if they were joined by immortals, but now they are just pieces of waste paper, and his ability is not yet to the point where drawing symbols can become magic tools.In addition, according to what you said, the demon snake was suppressed by your little copper knife to activate the snake curse, which caused itself to be backlashed. At this moment, it must be in a state of slumber and recovery. It will not wake up unless it senses a serious danger, so there is no need to worry.

When Gao Qingli said this, I felt it made sense after hearing it. Wang Hammer and he had pasted a lot of charms on the doors and walls.After pasting the spell, Wang Hammer pasted four pieces of paper on the wall, then bit his finger and drew four things. These four things were a horse, a child, a monkey and a carp.

I don't have to do anything and I don't know how to do anything, just watch them work, and occasionally look at these spirit tablets, but I don't know most of the characters.The big couplets engraved on both sides of the altar attracted me. The engraved words are very beautiful. I can only describe it as beautiful, although I can't fully recognize what is engraved on it.

Wang Hammer and Gao Qinglai were almost done, they asked me to buy a chicken, kill it and bring it back, so I left the ancestral hall to find the villagers to buy a chicken.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. I bought a chicken and killed it at Ye Feiji's uncle's house, and then boiled it. When it was getting dark, I returned to the ancestral hall with the chicken on a plate.

At this time Gao Qinglai and Wang Hammer had already set up a table in the courtyard, with golden paper figurines on it, and two bowls, one bowl of water and one bowl of rice.On the table was a bottle of wine, a radish with unlit incense sticks and candles, and Gao Qingli's short copper sword with copper coins strung on its blade was lying on the table.In addition, there are two small yellow flags on both sides of the table, and these arrangements are probably like this.

I put the chicken in the middle of the table and asked Gao Qinglai if this is to catch the demon snake or worship the demon snake!He told me that he was inviting the immortals from his family, but the spells pasted on the wall were just scraps of paper if he didn’t invite immortals.

Gao Qingli opened the box again, took out a circle of black thread from the inside, went outside the ancestral hall, connected the four black nails nailed to the ground with black thread, and surrounded the entire ancestral hall.

After everything was prepared, Wang Hammer told me that it would start at ten o'clock in the evening, and asked me if I was ready, and I nodded.In fact, I was not ready, because I didn't know what to prepare, I only knew that I had a bronze knife, Tongtong and beads.Without these things and Tongtong, apart from being bold, I am just an ordinary boy, who knows nothing and is nothing.

It was only after seven o'clock at this time, and it was almost three minutes before ten o'clock. We went back to Ye Feiji's cousin's house for dinner, and it was already after nine o'clock when we returned to the ancestral hall.Village Chief Wu and Wu Yingxing and Wu Yingde also came. They only provided assistance and could do nothing else. Wu Yingxing and Wu Yingde guarded the gate to prevent anyone from breaking in to watch the excitement.As the head of the village, Village Chief Wu has to be there even if he can't help anything. After all, this is their ancestral hall, and he represents the entire village.

Just after ten o'clock, Gao Qingli got up and opened the box, put on his yellow robe, lit the candles and incense, and began to dance the big god.Wang Hammer stood with his hands folded on his chest, while Village Chief Wu kept smoking, probably to relieve his inner tension.I squatted on the ground, resting my chin on both hands and staring intently at the pile of spirit tablets, thinking of something suddenly coming out of it.

What Qingqing Lai danced and sang this time is different from calling spirits on the mountain. This time, he invited immortals, his own immortals.This fairy is actually just a relatively high-level spirit body. It was not invited to fight the beautiful snake. Maybe it can't beat the beautiful snake. The fairy was invited to arouse the power of the spell.A spell is like a barrel of gasoline. If no one ignites it, it is an ordinary liquid. Only when it is ignited can it become a weapon, and asking Xianlai is to let it ignite the barrel of gasoline that is the spell.This metaphor is vivid enough!In layman's terms, although Xiao Ming can't beat Xiao Qiang, Xiao Ming can burn Xiao Qiang to death with fire. This is the power of the spell, and who knows the secret?
After 15 minutes, suddenly a blue spiritual tablet on the spiritual platform began to shake. I was so scared that I stood up quickly, but my legs went numb because of squatting for a long time, and I fell to the ground as soon as I stood up.Wang Chuizi quickly helped me up and asked me what was wrong. I said it was fine, my legs were numb after squatting for a long time.

The spirit tablet was shaking more and more, Gao Qingli shouted "Zhen" when he saw this, and a golden light flew in from nowhere, and attached to the golden paper figurine on the table.At this moment Gao Qingli's face was overjoyed under the candlelight, he turned around sharply, and the copper sword in his hand also turned a beautiful big arc.When this beautiful arc stopped, the tip of the sword was pointing at the trembling spirit tablet, and at the same time, miraculously, there were three spells on the table flying past the spiritual tablet pointed by the sword, and they were tightly pasted without glue. On the trembling blue spiritual tablet.

Seeing this, Village Chief Wu and I were so shocked that we couldn't close our mouths, but Wang Hammer was very calm, as if he could do this trick himself.As for me, such spells have only been seen in Journey to the West, where have I encountered them in reality!This is really an eye-opener!This high-definition is really not easy.

The trembling blue spirit card stopped shaking immediately after being attached by the three charms, but I saw that there seemed to be a faint red mist struggling on it, looming.

Gao Qingli didn't stop, he swung his copper sword and pointed at every spell on the wall. Every time he pointed at a spell with the copper sword, that spell immediately lit up with a faint golden light.Besides Gao Qingli and me, Wang Hammer can see that village head Wu is just an ordinary person, so he can't see the golden light of these spells, but he can see the shaking of the spirit tablet and the flying of the three spells. It was only after his lips were burned by the smoke that he came back to his senses.

Naturally, Wang Hammer's eyes can see things more clearly than mine. I saw him with a serious face, and put his middle and index fingers tightly together behind his back. If something goes wrong, he can direct the four things he drew on the wall at any time.

Although the trembling spiritual tablet has been suppressed by three spells, I don't know how Gao Qingli will catch the beautiful snake. After lighting up those spells, he doesn't see any next move, and he is still dancing the big god.

The blue spirit tablet stopped for less than 3 minutes, and suddenly started to shake again. Gao Qingli's expression changed, and he yelled that he was not good. Three spells flew towards the trembling Spirit Tablet.

But this time it was different. The Spirit Tablet shook for a moment and split in half from the middle. The three talismans that were still flying halfway lost power immediately and fell towards the ground. up.
