Prosperity through farming

Chapter 98

"Huh?" Xiaohan stared at the ancestral hall, and a naughty boy ran in, "Can I go in?"

"Okay," the second elder brother also came over and took Xiaohan's other hand, "Now you can use the psychic talisman, you see everyone in the Zhong family is talking, even if they are born with yin and yang eyes, they can do it without the psychic talisman." See the ancestors who came back to enjoy offerings."

Because the psychic talisman was placed on Xiaohan's side, the two elder brothers stretched out their hands to her, and Xiaohan quickly took out the psychic talisman.

Han Lu smiled lightly, "Actually, for our grandsons of the Zhang family, psychic charms are really useless. People who have used them before basically said that it would be awkward to use them. It would be simpler to wait for the Zhong family to help communicate with the ancestors, so I I’ve never tried it, but I’ll try it this year.”

The three of them used spiritual power to draw the talisman paper at the same time.

Xiaohan felt that his vision had changed, which was very strange. It seemed that two scenes of different dimensions appeared in front of him at the same time, just like in the movie, where the animated characters and real people are PS together. Except for the original ancestors, now, in the ancestral hall Including the empty field outside, there are many more figures. Those figures are not white and transparent like ghosts and ghosts in previous lives, but black and transparent.

If I want to use a metaphor, it's a bit like the X-rays taken when a bone was broken in a previous life, black and transparent, but they are not thin, but three-dimensional, and like living people, they have different shapes and obviously wear different clothes.In the current dark environment, it is very obvious when it is set off by the tribesmen who are wearing normal clothes.

However, Xiaohan can only tell from the style of their crowns. You know, it is a bit difficult for her to distinguish their facial features on a black and transparent three-dimensional object.But she couldn't help but want to distinguish, there is no way, seeing a human figure, paying attention to the details of the other's facial features, is the cognitive instinct of human beings.

Han Lu and Jing Zhe both exhaled softly, apparently, they did not expect this to happen.

Several black shadows were standing at the table where a hoe was enshrined, drinking and eating vegetables, and the person sitting on the main seat pointed at the three of them, obviously saying something to the others.

Not only are these figures created by computer special effects, but they are also silent films. Xiaohan and the others can't hear what those black figures are saying at all.

It can only be guessed from their body language that they ate very satisfied, talked happily, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Cousin Chang came over, he was just five years old, and he was the first of the short radish. He looked at the people at the table and explained to Xiao Han and the others, "They said that the food is delicious, and they are praising your mother's cooking skills. on."

"Ah," Han Lu was the first to regain her senses, "Thank them for their appreciation on our behalf."

Zhong Chang took a few steps towards the table, clasped his hands into a complicated gesture, and started chatting with those figures.

Xiaohan was a little slow to react, and only now asked suspiciously, "Can Xiaochang talk to them?"

"People from the Zhong family can see them by nature, and they can talk to people in the underworld as long as they enter the private school for a month, and after a few years of practice, they can still hear the animals in the underworld." At the highest level, you can go directly to the reincarnation platform to check information, although life and death can not be used indiscriminately without the consent of Lord Yan, the reincarnation platform is another magic weapon that can inquire about the soul's previous experience."

"That's for sure," Xiaohan nodded. "The life and death book contains the fate of all souls. Of course, it can't be read casually by others."

"Tsk, every time we go to worship the ancestors, the Zhong family is extraordinarily proud and really infuriating." Jing Zhe glanced at someone again, and pulled his sister's hand, "Come on, let's go to the ancestral hall to have a look."

Huh?Xiaohan looked back at Xiaochang, the elder brother didn't ask him to thank others before, but now he left him...

But seeing Xiaochang chatting with those ghost officials with great interest, Xiaohan realized that he dared to feel that the annual ancestor worship is to give the students of Zhong's private school a chance to practice, right?
Being dragged by the second brother, and Xiaohan himself was very curious about the ancestral hall, so he followed the second brother in.Behind him, the worried Han Lu also followed, "Go slowly, Jing Zhe, don't bump into the ancestors and guests."

Yes, I can't walk in a straight line at this moment, and I have to go around black shadows from time to time.

From time to time, Xiaohan would rub against the black shadow, that kind of coldness, which he also felt in Xuanwu Xiaoli.

It took the three of them a quarter of an hour to enter the ancestral hall. As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, the three children first saluted the black figure sitting at the round table in the ancestral hall. This is the real ancestor, and they cannot be neglected.

Because the ancestors were enjoying offerings in the ancestral hall, the three of them walked to the side room very wisely.

Xiaohan only glanced at the hundred or so tablet tablets. To be honest, he was not very interested in the names of the people who had seen clearly just now standing outside the door, but it was the two sides, which made Xiaohan very curious.

Huh? "Why is it also a memorial tablet? Don't you put it together for worship?" Even ancestor worship must be done in batches?

Her expression clearly showed her thoughts, Han Lu couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't talk nonsense, the tablets here are all fallen in the middle of their practice, and turned to cultivating demons. Losing all the memories and feelings of being a human is really considered death in our Xiaotian Village, but they were born in Gejiazhuang as soon as they died. That's all."

Jing Zhe also told her younger sister softly, "Such an ancestor, whose soul enters the body of grass and trees, will be surnamed Ge after cultivating human form, which has nothing to do with the Zhang family - after all, the transformation of grass and trees is very slow, and there are even elder brothers who have successfully cultivated and are about to pass the catastrophe. , and the younger brother who turned into the grass body has not yet transformed, and the practice of grass and trees is completely different from that of human beings, and it is taboo to use human emotions to trouble them. Therefore, although the relatives know psychologically that they are not dead, their souls are still alive. Now, but in a sense, they will never be seen again, so these people also have their own tablets."

"Because the souls on these tablets have been transferred into the grass body, they must not be counted when worshiping the ancestors, otherwise it will affect their smooth process of cultivating demons, so all the tablets are placed here." Han Lu explained clearly to her younger sister, "These are common sense in Zhangjiazhuang, you should also know about them."

"Then the side room here is for such people, what about the other side?" After Xiaohan understood, he didn't have much nostalgia for the dark lacquered temple hall with no incense sticks and only a tiny ever-burning light here, so he just Want to go to the opposite side.

Although she can already see things in the dark, she is a girl after all, and she definitely doesn't like this kind of place that is so gloomy with a little soybean-like light.

Walking to the fairy hall opposite, there is a round oil tank hanging from the ceiling of the hall, the lamp core is also very thick, and the fire is a little brighter.

It is also a wooden table, not many tablets, sporadic, only dozens of tablets, much less than the hundreds of tablets in the previous side hall.

"So little?" Xiaohan raised her eyebrows and looked at her elder brother, waiting for his explanation.

"The tablets here are those of the Zhang family who have entered reincarnation." Han Lu smiled at him, "In the history of the Zhang family, you should know that even if there is a health regimen of breathing, the Zhang family didn't learn to practice it from the very beginning. Yes, before the Zhang family really learned to practice, during that time, the old and dead Zhang family, because they all paid attention to accumulating merit, could reincarnate into a good pregnancy. Go in, otherwise, the soul who doesn't know where to reincarnate now will also be affected. Some children Yezi, that is, the family members of that soul's previous life, desperately offering incense and offerings, which makes the reincarnated and newly born soul restless .”

"Mm, I see." Xiaohan looked at the tablet here, and tilted his head in doubt, obviously thinking about something.

Until being dragged out of the door by two older brothers, Xiaohan looked at his father who was walking towards him, and kept counting with his fingers, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hoe picked up his daughter, "Have you seen it in the ancestral hall?"

"Well, it's very strange," Xiaohan threw his father's head and neck, "these tablets are not enough to correspond to all the ancestors of the Zhang family, right? I have read the family tree of the Zhang family, and it is clear that there are more than this few people in Zhangjiazhuang, oh, Daddy, those who have ascended will not have tablets, will they? But they are also ancestors, don't they worship?"

"Oh, those," Zhang Hoe pointed to the top of Shenqi Mountain, "the immortals after ascension have their own real names, and those real names are enshrined in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. There are sacrifices there. The real names of the immortals of the five surnames in Xiaotian Village are there, and every year on the first day of the new year, they burn incense and pray, so that the immortals in the sky can know the situation in the lower realm."

"Strange, Master Tian is also an immortal, right? Why don't you sacrifice with the Feisheng people from Xiaotian Village?" Xiaohan couldn't understand, why did he want to occupy a ancestral hall here?

"Patriarch Tian didn't leave us his real name. This is one of the reasons. The second reason is that the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain enshrines all those who ascended to immortality in human body. Immortal Tian has clearly stated that he did not enter Taoism in human body. As for the specific Whether it is a demon or a spirit, we don’t know,” Zhang Hoe said bluntly, “so, I dare not use the same method to sacrifice, for fear of any collision or harm to him.” Touching his daughter’s head, He continued to explain, "Another reason is that Xiaotian Village also accepts apprentices outside. Although there are not many, every time they accept one, they have to burn incense in front of Tianxianren's tablet to test their fate. A shrine is a must."

"That's right," Xiaohan remembered, "But, does Xiaotian Village have any apprentices? Why haven't we seen them before? Where are they practicing?"

"Tianyao Village," Zhang Hoe smiled at her, affirming what she thought, "Zhu's family is the first disciple with a foreign surname to be accepted in Xiaotian Village. What they practice is the relatively basic exercises left by Immortal Tian. Of course, it is not as ingenious as the practice of the five surnames in our Xiaotian Village. Back then, the children of the Zhu family were taken by Mr. Zhang Guoshi. They met in the process of reforming the geomantic omen of the mainland, and they were considered to be related to Xiaotian Village, so they accepted them. .”

"Up to now, the apprentices accepted by Xiaotian Village are only the Zhu family and the Lu family, right?" Xiaohan curled her lips, disdainful of such a small-scale farmer's self-preservation.

"It's not what you think," Zhang Hoe gave her a funny look, and pinched her face, "At present, it is very difficult for Xiaotian Village's aura to be used for our own practice alone. It's okay, and there are other surnames in Tianyao Village, and some of them are orphans brought back by the ancestors in the past, but practice is not so easy. If there is fate, the Zhong family can check In the reincarnation platform, some people are born with no predestined relationship to immortality, so they can't force them to practice. If they don't have the same temperament, they insist on forcing them to practice, wouldn't they become robbers?"

"Huh? Some people don't want to live forever?" Xiaohan didn't believe it.

"You were born in Xiaotian Village, so of course you take practice as a matter of course." Zhang Hoe gave her a white look, then pinched her face again, "Some people prefer to be an official or a soldier. Everyone has their own aspirations." How can we be so sure that everyone likes to practice? That kid from the Zhu family, after he became Zhang Guoshi's apprentice, has bothered him. His businessman habits, if not for the root of the sky, are really gifted. Even ascending is difficult. Not to mention Zhang Guoshi put so much effort into it, after seeing that example, recruiting apprentices has become a very prudent thing, definitely not just casually."

Zhong Lanyu also came over, obviously the communication was over, "Apprentices? At least you have to pass the distraction period before accepting apprentices, and if you have reached that level, you will definitely connect to the secret, let alone if you have some talent in easy numbers, It is even more able to know whether there will be an apprentice fate."

"I've also heard from Mr. Zhang that the ancestor said that accepting disciples is actually a matter of accumulating merit. It's a pity that Xiaotian Village doesn't have spiritual veins, so there's nothing to do if the opportunity doesn't come." Han Lu nodded.

Zhong Lanyu lowered her voice and laughed, "Don't talk about the ancestors, my uncles made many friends when they traveled abroad, but there was no way to lead them into the Tao. There is no way. The ancestors stipulated that there are no Before Lingmai, except for those destined by fate, only apprentices with Tianlinggen were accepted."

"Tsk, in all these years, have you only met one person with a heavenly spirit root?" Xiaohan shook his head, "Isn't it? Among ordinary people in the Great Shang Kingdom, is the spirit root so miserable?"

"Of course it's not just that one," Zhang Hoe gave her a white look, "Didn't I tell you that there are more than N people with different surnames in Tianyao Village? It can be said that in Tianyao Village, except for goblins, all human beings are gods." Spiritual roots, but after they cultivated, there are very few marriages and children, so until now, except for the Zhu family, no one has become a big family."
