Prosperity through farming

Chapter 103

"Your mother's surname is Zhong. The patriarch of the Zhong family is not Tian Xianren, so naturally he can't worship him." Zhang Hoe explained, summoned his flying machine, and stepped on it with his daughter in his arms.

The couple who were holding the little fox beside their family turned around, and with a gust of breeze, they disappeared.

"That's right, the Zhong family belongs to another patriarch," Xiaohan looked sideways at his mother, "Then the Zhong family doesn't need to worship the patriarch?"

"The patriarch of the Zhong family has an extraordinary status, and there are special time and rituals when worshiping." Zhong Lanyu patted her daughter on the shoulder, "Don't ask, this is a secret, okay, we are almost at Chongzhen Temple."

Because the time spent at the Patriarch's Temple was short, it was not yet nine o'clock when we arrived at the Chongzhen Temple on the top of the mountain.

Chongzhen Temple is built on the top of the mountain, but there is a huge gentle slope outside. The number of people who cannot be squeezed in the valley of the ancestral hall is sparse here like sesame seeds on a sesame seed cake.

Moreover, it was obvious that the people who got here stood in batches according to their surnames, and even the mother left Xiaohan and walked to the two uncles who had been standing outside the gate for a long time.

But in this way, Xiaohan easily found the piece of Lu's family and the piece of Sun's family, waved to Lu Zelin and Sun Moxin, and Xiaohan obediently stood facing Guanmen under his father's eyes.

The Guanmen was pushed open, and it was a pair of teenagers who opened the Guanmen. It was obvious that one was a monster and the other was an elf.

The young man standing next to the door on the left is so charming and charming. Although his face is clean and upright, his appearance will make the viewer uneasy if he looks at it for a long time, and it is easy to arouse people's wanton and obscene thoughts.

As for the one on the right, he is Tsinghua Wushuang. He is thin and thin, but he has the lingering posture of a jade tree. His temperament is also extremely comfortable, very indifferent, even indifferent. Those inorganic blue Eyes, regard everything as indifferent like mole crickets.

There is no way, all the children must be attracted by them at the first sight, even Han Lu was surprised, "They...are the ones who worship the truth..."

"No," Zhang Hoe shook his head, "The people who take care of the Chongzhen Temple are rotated by the students in the village school. They happen to be in charge of cleaning up the Taoist Temple today, but I know them. These two are the Hu family and the Ge family. The most outstanding disciple among the younger generation is also very famous in the village school."

"Could it have something to do with their appearance?" Xiaohan was thoughtful.

Jingzhe let out a "ha" and replied, "That's right, the cultivation of the monster race will be reflected in their appearance, the better the cultivation, the more beautiful the appearance will be, this is the expression of their opening the inheritance sealed in the blood. "

Han Lu also helped to add, "Yes, in the ancient times, before the Buzhou Mountain fell, those powerful goblins were extremely beautiful. If they can be fully inherited, the current goblins will also be as beautiful as their ancestors. As for the spirits, this life is condensed by the essence of heaven and earth, and after their cultivation is advanced, no matter their appearance or other things, they will conform to the principles of heaven, and it is impossible not to be beautiful."

Well, no wonder, they are so beautiful.Xiaohan raised his eyes again with these two beauties, and walked in with his father who had already stepped into the temple.

Contrary to the sealed building of the ancestral hall, the Chongzhen Temple is so simple that it doesn't look like a Taoist temple at all.

In addition to a long gallery inside, there is a large area of ​​grass surrounding the promenade.Only grass, not even flowers and trees.

And in this long gallery, the images hanging one by one are the images of the ancestors who ascended to the fairy world during the Mahayana period.

The celestial beings on each scroll are very young and beautiful, because the Mahayana period means that they are about to ascend, and their appearance and age will be perfected by the sky thunder during the tribulation.

Therefore, the small portraits hanging in the gallery are so beautiful that people can't catch their eyes.

It's just, "Huh? The figure on it," Xiaohan squinted his eyes and looked hard, "it doesn't look like it was painted."

Zhang Hoe nodded, "Did you notice it? It was reflected using formations and spells. The principle is the same as how calm water can reflect all the surrounding scenery."

Xiaohan tsk-tsk, she really didn't expect that there is such a technology similar to photos in this era, but, how can this kind of technology be achieved?Well, maybe you can ask Lu Zesen later!
On the grass on both sides of the gallery, two large jade incense burners were placed by someone.

Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the crowd on both sides of the sub-station, "Ours here belongs to the Sun family and the Zhang family? Is it someone else's on the opposite side?"

"Yes," Han Lu nodded, and explained softly for her sister, "The Sun family and the Zhang family have the most ascension people, and the Zhong family has the least number of ascensions. The Hu family, the cultivation period of the demon race is too long, almost ten times and a hundred times that of human practitioners, and the number of ascensions is not large so far. According to the number, the portrait hanging on the opposite side is half of the Lu family , and the others add up to half."

so clear?Apparently he had read it carefully?

Meeting her sister's eyes, Han Lu smiled wryly and continued to explain, "Yes, after paying homage to the elders of the Feisheng Zhang family, you can get closer and take a closer look, and you can also look at the portrait on the opposite side at will."

Jing Zhe added the last sentence, "At least, you have to remember the appearance of the Immortal Ascension in Xiaotian Village, so that you won't meet without acquaintance."

"Meet?" Xiaohan was really shocked this time, can a fairy see it?
"Immortals occasionally sneak down to earth," Zhang Hoe teased softly, "That's how our ancestors were found by our ancestors. It seems that the rules in the fairy world are relatively loose. As long as you have a good relationship with gods and beasts, the other one is If you want to suppress your cultivation to not exceed the Mahayana stage, you can come down to the earth with the beasts to wander around."

Well, Xiaohan regards the matter of remembering the appearances of all the ancestors as an important task. If you don't know each other, isn't it too impolite?

"Hey," Han Lu smiled strangely, "It's not so fast, one day in the fairy world, one year in the underworld, and 360 five years in the mortal world, our ancestors who ascended the earliest have just stayed in the sky for more than ten years, and they probably haven't adapted to the fairy world yet." Life, how could it come down to earth? Anyway, Xiao Han only remembers the faces of those who ascended the first time. There is no need to remember all of them. Generally, only quasi-sages who have entered the Mahayana period will come here for these portraits. , Get to know your fairy friends carefully."

Xiaohan looked at the censer and asked the most important thing at the moment, "Daddy, is there any ceremony for worshiping the immortal ancestors? Besides offering incense, is there anything else to do?"

Zhang Hoe shrugged, "It's nothing, incense and devout thoughts can be passed to the fairy world, there is no need for others, if you really want to add more, then you only need fresh flowers and tea, these two kinds of breath can also go smoothly Passing through the incense, the rest is done, if the offerings are offered, the ancestors will not be able to enjoy them, so there is no need."

"Come," Han Lu beckoned to his sister, and took out the incense from the storage bag, "This is incense made from sage tree, it smells very clear, it's a special recipe from the Ge family, each person takes three sticks, Light the fire talisman by yourself, here, just like them, kowtow, pray a few words, and put the incense into the incense burner. "

Xiaohan's eyes flicked around, "Why is our incense so thin, and the incense in Daddy's hand is so thick?"

"There is no way, our cultivation base is poor and our spiritual thoughts are weak, so the thoughts when praying will naturally not be too strong. Too thick incense will cover up our prayers, but it is not as suitable as this fine one." Jing Zhe touched his sister's cheeks. head.

"Then what do you want to say when you pray?" Xiaohan carefully held the three sticks of incense, and watched the people of the Zhang family burn the incense one after another according to their cultivation level.

"My first sentence must be that Zhang Hanlu, the son of Zhang Hoe, respects all the ancestors," Han Lu said with a smile, not serious, "Just like when you communicate with relatives who are far away overseas, you have to tell the other party who you are first, and then Let’s talk about my own affairs, well, I usually chat with the ancestors, just talk about the important events of the past year, and that’s enough.”

Jing Zhe also nodded, "Daddy told us that worshiping Feisheng's ancestors is to let them understand the juniors in the lower realm. Anyway, as practitioners, we don't have any misunderstandings like 'ancestor blessing' like ordinary people. It's just news, so don't say too much, just a few words per person, let the ancestors know that you are in the family, and at the same time let the ancestors know that the family is prosperous in the mortal world, so that they don't have to worry about the younger generations in the mortal world, That's it."

"Okay, I understand." Xiaohan held the incense stick in his hand, and stared wide-eyed at Daddy who was walking forward to offer incense, "Daddy and the others finished offering incense, so it's our turn?"

"Well," Zhang Hanlu nodded, "Now it's people in the golden core stage offering incense, and then there are people in the foundation building stage like us. Children who haven't built a foundation are not qualified to enter the Chongzhen Temple."

Dad and his generation retired, Xiaohan and his two elder brothers walked up together, Hanlu and Jingzhe were both talismans flying in the air, drawing flames to ignite the fairy incense, only Xiaohan shook out a piece of fire paper drawn by himself Talisman, to ignite the incense, there is no way, who told her that her cultivation base is superficial.

Xiaohan, just like the incense worshipers did before, prayed silently silently, "Zhang hoe's daughter, Zhang Xiaohan, respects all ancestors. The kylin needs a divine weapon to accompany her. Xiaohan is the servant of the divine weapon. She must serve obediently for the benefit of the spirit of Xiaotian village. The pulse is opened and the spiritual eyes of the mainland are formed."

After kowtowing, Xiaohan stepped forward and inserted the incense into the jade incense burner, huh?

Everyone saw that Xiaohan inserted the fairy stick incense into the incense burner, the cigarette was in a straight line and stretched straight up, burning faster than other similar incense.

Xiaohan turned her puzzled eyes to the two elder brothers beside her, what does this mean?
"It seems that the ancestors in the fairy world are very interested in what you said." Zhang Hoe took a step forward and supported his daughter's shoulders, "Okay, it's okay, the year I researched Zhutian before, the incense was also burned. Go fast. It's nothing special."

As soon as Zhang Hoe finished speaking, the surprised eyes around him became calm.

Xiaohan glanced at his father, so he didn't regard it as anything particularly noteworthy.

"Tsk, it's relatively rare for such a thing to happen at Xiaohan's age." This was Sun Moxin who was in the same batch as Xiaohan and came to talk to Xiaohan.

"Mo Xin," Xiaohan said happily, "it was too crowded at the Patriarch's Temple just now, and I didn't even see you."

"Who told you that you are short." Mo Xin stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Han's cheek unceremoniously, "Short."

"I will grow again!" Xiaohan blushed and pulled her hand down, "Here, let me introduce you, my second brother, you should know him, this is my eldest brother Zhang Hanlu, you know? The one with the powerful formation."

"Eh? You're Zhang Hanlu?" Sun Mo opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"You guys know each other?" Xiao Han was taken aback, obviously she didn't know Han Lu in Mo Xin's words yesterday.

"I never knew his name. It's just that when Lu Zesen came to my house to ask my grandfather about formations, he would come occasionally. He only met once and never spoke to him. I only knew his surname Zhang from my grandfather. It's Lu Zesen's good friend in Zhang's private school." Mo Xin exclaimed, "It turns out that it is Zhang Hanlu who always said that Qiufen always competed with her for the first place in the formation. No wonder, I just thought, I can win my grandpa In terms of formation, a person who says 'talented' cannot be an unknown person."

"Ah, you're exaggerating too much, but," Han Lu raised her eyebrows, "so you are the cousin Zhang Qiufen said is very powerful?"

Jing Zhe reminded with a smile, "Yes, she is the baby sister that Sun Daji has been talking about all the time. Do you remember? It is the boy from the Sun family who is too handsome."

"Is it that Sun Daji who has been taught by Dr. Sun the thirteen sets of acupuncture secrets?" Zhang Hanlu smiled at Mo Xin, "When will we study formations together, but your brothers and sisters have different talents. It's rare."

Sun Moxin replied generously, "How can it be? Not only is my brother talented in medicine, but he is also not weaker than me in formations! Autumn Equinox told us about your new formations, the five-element psychedelic My brother has also changed a few places in the formation. I have been thinking of asking you to study it for a long time. Today, I finally know each other. Let’s make an appointment to study the formation together. This is my brother’s ten thousand words and I want to talk to you. Clear."

Turning to Zhang Jingzhe again, "Brother Jingzhe, my brother has already told me that you and he have discussed it. When the village school graduates, you will go to the teacher's task together. I think it's funny to hear that you haven't entered the village school yet. , wouldn’t it be too early to say this?”

"It's not too early. In three or four years, we will enter the village school. Daji and I must have entered the village school at about the same time. He is so talented in medical formations. Of course, we need to negotiate with him first. Well, although my brother's talent in formation is not bad, he must have graduated earlier than me, and he is not from the same group, so there is no way to be a partner." Jing Zhe and Mo Xin are relatively familiar, so there is no need to be polite when speaking, "And , my brother probably just travels in the country, but your brother and I are destined to travel overseas to advance to the next level. If we can be with him, I don't worry about getting sick or getting injured. By the way, Where's the thistle?"

"My brother went to find Lu Zesen, and said he wanted to order a set of needle-shaped instruments from Lu's village through him, which can cure diseases and fight enemies." Mo Xin looked across the gallery, "He will wait a while." It will bring Lu Zesen here together."

"Great," Xiaohan cheered, "I also have an idea and want to talk to Lu Zesen, please listen to it, it is a tool for learning formations that I thought of, um, you all learn formations , should be useful, let’s see if the tool I envisioned can be made.”

"Utensils for learning formation?" Lu Zesen's voice sounded from behind them, "What is that?"

"Huh? Now? I still want to see these portraits." Xiaohan really didn't think about rushing this way.

Sun Moxin also nodded, "Yes, yes, I can only see them once a year, and I want to see these portraits again."

Zhang Hanlu looked at Sun Daji, and obviously reached a consensus, "Then, let's walk around the gallery, leave Chongzhen Temple later, go to my house for dinner, let's chat while eating."

"Your family? Will your parents agree?" Sun Daji looked at him suspiciously, did he speak so confidently?

"Of course I will agree," Jing Zhe also nodded affirmatively, "Lu Zesen often goes to my house to play, and now you and my grandma's family have become relatives again, and Mo Xin is the first friend Xiaohan met in Sunjiazhuang, and both of you I like formations, and if you add these together, your parents will definitely not object, if you don’t believe me, go tell your father.”

Zhang Hoe was having a lively conversation with Sun Huiliang and his son. Hearing Jingzhe's words, he couldn't help saying "huh" and said, "Go to our house to play? But I just told Uncle Sun that we are going to their house. I discussed with Uncle Sun Formation, your mother still has something to say to Miss Sun."

"It's all right," said Sun Linghuai, Sun Huiliang's son, and Sun Moxin's father, "let them play with the younger generation, we are also cautious with them, but, if we go to your house, do you want to bring lunch from the village school?" point to go?"

"No, no, no," Zhang Jingzhe forgot his happy politeness, "My brother cooks well, and my younger sister can always come up with some delicious recipes, and we will make them ourselves."

"That's fine, anyway, the ingredients are in the storage bag in the kitchen, you arrange them yourself." Zhang Hoe continued, "Treat people well, don't be rude."

"No way," Jing Zhe was very happy, "We played on our own but had a lot of fun, ah, Daddy, I'll go and tell everyone."

"Go." Zhang Hoe waved his hand, then turned to the Sun family father and son, "Suffice it to say, it's hard to see how dangerous this formation is, let's set it up later and have a look?"
