Crunch!
I stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door of the ancestral temple. This door was very worn out, making bursts of overwhelming sounds, and would disintegrate at any time.
What appeared in front of me was a small courtyard.
A narrow path paved with green bricks leads directly to the main hall where the spiritual throne is enshrined in front. Plants are planted on both sides, mostly peach and plum trees, and some flowers, which are extremely lush and taller than an adult.
This is actually a Feng Shui practice. Many ancestral temples in the north have similar layouts.
In the old days, people believed that the ancestral temple was the resting place for the souls of their ancestors. In this country that attaches great importance to ethics, everyone has a very strong sense of family, so the living believe that the greatest wish of the deceased is to have a full house of heirs. , so the variety of peaches and plums in the ancestral temple also takes the meaning of a house full of peaches and plums. The flowers and vegetation are thicker, symbolizing the evergreen family.
However, there are too many vegetations here, which is a bit too much, and it violates Feng Shui taboos, causing the Yin energy to be too strong.
In the old superstition's words - trees can hide ghosts.
With these old superstitions running through my head, I felt a little heavier. Walking on the green brick path, I felt even more eerie and cold here. In addition, the light here was dim and I couldn't see clearly what was going on among the flowers, so I couldn't help but have random thoughts.
I speeded up, dragging Xiaodouzi through here quickly, and arrived in front of the main hall.
The door here is tightly closed, and the threshold is extremely high, making it difficult to see clearly what is going on inside.
Buzz!
At this time, the Nine Dragon Sword trembled without warning.
The shock was very clear. I was very sure that my feeling was correct, so I quickly took out the Nine Dragon Sword.
The nine forms of the dragon imprinted on the sword lit up silently, the color was like coals, and the light was three times more intense than when I cut Master Chen. It made half of my face faintly red.
What the **** is going on? Why is the Nine Dragon Sword abnormal?
Could it be...that something stimulated it?
I quickly turned around and asked Xiaodouzi: "Can you see anything?"
In my opinion, the only thing that can stimulate the Nine Dragon Sword is that kind of thing, and I can’t help but think about that at this time.
Xiaodouzi’s eyes were black and white, nothing unusual. She shook her head in confusion.
"Ask the lunatic in your body!"
I did not push the door rashly and entered the main hall. I took Xiaodouzi's hand and looked around with a wary face.
Xiaodouzi secretly stuck out her tongue, then closed her eyes, but for just a moment, she opened her eyes again: "Brother Jiu, that sister said she couldn't feel anything inside my body and needs to come out."
"Let her come out quickly!"
I said: "Don't be humble when you should be humble, and talk nonsense with me when you shouldn't be humble!"
“Didn’t you say that sister needs your permission when she wants to come out?”
Little Douzi grunted and closed her eyes again. After a while, she let go of my hand, pulled up a peony from the flower bush, broke off its rhizome, and held it in her hand to take care of the roots. .
I frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Let that sister come out, this is what she told me."
Xiaodouzi fiddled with the roots still covered with soil in his hands and said softly: "That sister said that my current physical condition no longer allows her to come out again, let alone open the earth spirit eye, otherwise I will die. .So, she can only use other methods to come out. She asked us to stay on guard and stop causing trouble, and wait until she comes out. But she also said, don’t expect too much from her, use this method to come out. She doesn’t have much power, so she can only be a discerning person to show you the way, so that you don’t make mistakes again.”
I nodded silently, not arguing with that lunatic.
The Nine Dragon Swords have warned me that this place should be more complicated than I thought. It is right not to act rashly.
Xiaodouzi said nothing more and quickly took care of the rhizome. It looked quite similar to ginseng and had a simple human shape. She sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped her hands together, sandwiched the rhizome between her palms, and closed her eyes. Seems to be praying for something.
It looks like this will take some time.
I put down the soldiers and looked around with my sword to guard, but nothing strange happened. However, the Nine Dragon Sword chirped twice more, and the nine dragon forms on the sword became more and more dazzling, as if the nine dragons would come to life at any time. There was an inexplicable charm. I stared at it for a long time, and my mind was attracted to it.
Didi didi...
Suddenly, a rapid ringing woke me up.
Is it a mobile phone?
A trace of trance flashed across my face. Since entering the Zhao family compound, my mobile phone has been completely out of signal, so that I can't contact Ni Huang at all.
I don’t know why there is a signal in this apparently most dangerous ancestral temple, but it doesn’t matter. At least I can contact the outside world. I quickly took out my mobile phone from my trouser pocket.
Thank you!
The phone still has power, but there is only a little bit left.
What was sent was a text message. I know that number. It is the number Ni Huang uses most often to contact me.
"Where are you now?"
The content of the text message was concise and concise, which was in line with Ni Huang's character.
I hesitated and quickly replied: "I don't know how to describe this place, but I am trapped. This is the Zhao family compound that has been demolished!"
"You actually went there!!"
"Damn, why did you go there? That's right, I have been looking for you since I raided the ghost market that day. When I contact you, I always get a message that the message cannot be sent. I didn't expect you to go to that place. !"
"Okay, you must listen to me next, stay where you are, there shouldn't be any danger, and don't go to the ancestral temple in the Zhao family compound. No, you can suddenly contact the outside world... ...Are you in the ancestral temple now?"
Ni Huang’s text messages were like a barrage of bombardment, one after another.
I hold my phone and don’t know how to reply.
Immediately afterwards, Ni Huang sent another text message - "Leave there, immediately! Immediately! If it's too late, you won't be able to leave. There are things you can't deal with sleeping there. The Nine Dragon Sword in your hand will irritate you." That thing! I’m going to find you right now!”
"..."
Without further ado, I stopped looking at my phone and quickly stood up and carried the soldiers on my back. Without waiting for the psychosis to come out, I picked up Xiaodouzi and was about to leave.
As a result, Xiaodouzi opened her eyes at this moment, and the roots in her palm suddenly jumped out of her hand, almost like a human being. After landing, she looked around at the flowers on both sides.
"Run!!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came out of the stem. This voice was the psychotic one. She was so frightened and angry that she yelled: "You stupid donkey, why did you jump into someone else's nest? There are all the flowers in the bush. It’s a dead person, run!”
After saying that, the stem jumped up, with two roots like legs, and ran like crazy, very fast, and rushed to the door of the ancestral temple in a flash!
Bang!
The door of the ancestral temple closed on its own, creating a strong wind that knocked the lunatic to the ground.
“It’s over, it’s over!”
The **** got up from the ground, stretched out a root and pointed at the main hall: "Go there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a gloomy male voice sounded in the hall: "Now that you are here, why bother to leave? I have been waiting here for a long, long time, waiting for you to come, the master of the Nine Dragon Sword."
I subconsciously tightened my grip on the Nine Dragon Sword, my face uncertain.
The **** rushed up, tugged at my trousers with roots, and shouted: "Enter the hall! It's better to face one person than to be torn apart by a lot of dead people!"
"Noisy!"
I got a little annoyed and kicked her away.
"You, you, you..."
She fell to the side, a root pointing at me, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Crash!
At this time, all the plants in the flowers on both sides surged and made bursts of uncomfortable sounds, as if many people were squatting in the flowers and grinding their teeth.
I lowered my head and hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards the main hall.
Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time.
