Episode 40 The Weird Incident in the Ancestral Hall

After walking for a while, Jin Man realized that the black fog she was in had lost her sense of direction. She took out the flowing light and drew a cross on the nearest tree trunk. As soon as Jin Man raised her legs, her long skirt was hooked by the branches. Jin Man also walked for a while, so she simply sat under the tree, slowly untied the long skirt from the branches, while a little painful.

Her skirt was a suitable size that Aunt Liu had bought after traveling to two or three stores for her. After finally rescuing the skirt, Jinman touched the space for a long time and took out a brass compass.

However, there was no mystery in this black fog forest. She watched the compass dial turn wildly, jumping back and forth between s and n, and finally overlapped together.

Jin Man died speechlessly and gave up the idea of ​​conquering with modern technology. He turned to look at the sky and tried to find the Big Dipper as a guide, but the result...

These trees that rose out of thin air seemed to fall from the sky, standing straight and studded between the sky and the earth.

Darkness, claustrophobia, was like a box that wrapped her up.

Not to mention the sky, she couldn't even see where the end of the canopy was even these trees.

This feeling of being closed and unable to contact the outside world made her familiar. Speaking of which, she seemed to have heard the voice of the woman who sang in a low voice just now.

Jin Man sat cross-legged, using internal strength to restore his physical strength, and at the same time concentrated his ears and mind, listening to various sounds in the forest.

When there are no similar types, the woods, wind, grass and trees are all objects that can be sought.

The deliberately empty spiritual sense did not hear a slight sound of the wind blowing.

Everything seemed to be still in this space. But compared to the darkness just now, the dark clouds above the head seemed to be lighter at this time, which was a sign of midnight's fading.

In absolute silence, time is still passing.

This forest is really weird.

Jin Man suddenly remembered that she had actually heard of the female voice three years ago.

That was the voice of the original owner Jin Man.

Low, faint, full of impatience to the world.

"The past is the future, darkness is the light. When day and night overlap, I will die and live with you." Jin Man lowered his head and recited these sentences carefully several times. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration.

Jin Man stood up again, took out the dagger, gestured to his neck, and smiled in front of a dark ball of eyes, "I want to trap me here? There is no door."

The flowing light suddenly pierced into the throat, and it was extremely fatal.

But she felt no pain at all, and she felt her body falling backwards and falling into darker darker than here.

"Jinman!"

"Miss!"

The noisy screams around him exploded in Jinman's ears. It was Jinshen and Butler Xie.

Jin Man slowly opened her eyes, "Second Uncle?"

Butler Xie and Jin Shen looked at each other. Butler Xie spoke tentatively, "Does the young lady still recognize where this is?"

Jin Man sat up and found that she had returned to the ancestral hall. Before she fell into the black fog, the yellow paper, scriptures, and rolled futons on the ground were gone, and the ancestral hall had returned to its original state. She was still leaning against the wall.

Just like her experience just now, it seemed like she was just an illusion.

"The ancestral hall." Jin Man gritted his teeth and stood up, crossed Jin Shen, walked to the tablet rack and walked twice before finding a piece in the most inconspicuous place of the ebony tablet. She picked it up and threw it to Jin Shen.

"It turns out that my second uncle actually thought I was dead."

The white depicted on the tablet clearly reads the words "Jinman's Spiritual Position".

Kim Shin held the tablet and felt that it was bad luck, but he didn't take it. He was guilty because he had done something bad. He stretched out his hands and took it back, which looked quite funny.

Xie Yan immediately took the tablet from Jinshen and smiled at Jinman with a shameless face, "What did the eldest lady say? You have always lived in our hearts."

Jinman: "…"

Kim Shin: “…”

Jin Man rolled her eyes and said, "Then I've been back for two or three days now. You didn't want to remove my spiritual position. Uncle Second, are you really careless or do you think I'm better off living than death?"

Jin Shin was snatched by her niece, her face turned red and white, which was very exciting. After a while, she said, "You are just talking to your second uncle... What a moral character? Are there any rules?"

"In your eyes, I am a dead person, so what are the rules?" Jin Man looked at the entire ancestral hall and suddenly turned his eyes and walked to the door to close the gate of the ancestral hall firmly.

Jinshen took two steps back, and Xie Yan also held the tablet and shrank his neck.

"You...what are you doing?" Jin Shin glared, but there was no deterrence at all.

Jin Man pulled out Liuguang and weighed it in his hand, "Uncle Second, if you are gone, who has the final say in the Jin family?"

"Although you have a wife and a concubine, you have nothing to do in your name, no children, no children, you die, oh no, if you don't wait for you to die, no one will give you a care for you when you are old, do you know this?"

"I have seen my third uncle's daughter, and I am also a person who can't carry it on the table. Even Princess Jindan cannot be announced to the public. Uncle San is ill and his aunt is a nun and his wife will not have any descendants."

"I didn't expect that my father who died early would become the best among you brothers, one son and one daughter. Unfortunately, he has a poor fortune and has not waited for us to fulfill his filial piety."

"So, among the second generation of the Jin family, you are the worst, Uncle," Jin Man explained Jin Shen's current predicament in one breath.

"Or won't you run away in a hurry to see if I'm dead?" Jin Man took the tablet back from Xie Yan's hand and drew a fork on the word Jin Man with streaming light, "Is it good for you to die?"

"No." Jin Shen returned to his usual expression, and Xie Yan was so angry that he was about to lift his white beard up to the sky. "Miss, you can't say that to Second Master. You must have seen the second Master's bias towards you."

"Old Xie, you go out. I'll talk to Jinman alone." Jinshen walked to the stool and sat down, as if he was the same as a master again.

"Yes, Second Master." Xie Yan retreated.

Only Jin Shen and Jin Man were left in the ancestral hall.

Jin Man looked at the rows of re-lit candles and said nothing.

"Kneel down." Kim Shin whispered.

Jin Man knelt down at the ancestors of the Jin family without any hesitation.

She is now under the identity of Jin Man, and she has nothing to accept when she kneels down.

"Jin Man, you have had a sudden hysteria since you were seven years old. The entire Jin family was disturbed by you, but no one blamed you because you were the chosen son of the Jin family. The curse in the blood of that nobleman was fulfilled. After all, you were suffering for the Jin family. At that time, we and your father decided secretly not to send you to the floating and sinking hall. Although the Jin family was not as brilliant as before, they still had the ability to hide you, raise you until you are big, and raise you until you die."

"But..." Kim Shin said as she looked painful.

Jin Man looked up at him.

"But your father, my brother and eldest sister-in-law died on the battlefield, and the Jin family fell sharply, and it was hard to get favor in the court as before. We also thought about accepting our fate, who made our generation of talents decay? However, the other tribes of the Jin family cannot tolerate you."

"They found the best divination monk in the capital to calculate your fate. So... the Jin family had no choice but to send you to the floating and sinking hall. With a peaceful mouth, this tribe's attack on our family was considered to be considered as a hindrance." Jin Shen explained the past clearly and felt relieved.

Jin Man sneered, raised his head and looked straight at the ancestral tablets, "After all, you can't beat those relatives of the other tribes, so you can only use your niece to pay off the debt and settle the matter."

Jin Shengang wanted to explain, and Jin Man raised his hand and interrupted him, "Besides, my parents died in battle. You didn't say you would ask for rewards for me or get compensation, but instead pushed me out as a shield, which not only solved the difficulties at that time, but also saved the truly sick Jindan."

"It's great to have parents. Even if her father is a sick person, her mother will become a monk." Jin Man took a breath, "I can't say that the third aunt went to the Buddhist temple to practice, which was the result of her compromise with you. She just wanted her daughter to live well in the Jin Mansion."

"I was still young back then and could only be slaughtered by others. If I remember correctly, I had a high fever when I was seven years old. Suddenly, hysterical lies were not really sick." Jin Man walked to the window where he was leaning against, rubbed his fingers through the window frame, and a little bit of powder stained her pink and white fingers.

"Using such despicable means under your nose, Second Uncle, your ability to manage a family is not as powerful as the legends outside!" Jin Man bent his eyes and showed a curved curve like a fox.

Kim Shin subconsciously avoided his eyes, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Jin Man stood up and looked at him with a smile, but his smile was far from reaching his eyes. "If you want to check it, check it out. I always advocate revenge for myself."

"You act so recklessly, be careful to become someone else's target." Jin Shen frowned.

This girl, the beautiful character of her elder brother and sister-in-law, is not inherited at all.

"If I hadn't died once, I would have died in the illusion just now. Second Uncle." Jin Man walked up to him and took out a dark branch from his sleeve. "The juice and tender buds of this kind of tree have hallucinating effects. Whoever is planting this kind of thing in the house will have an answer."

"As compensation, I hope my second uncle can add a zero to my monthly pocket money. Fifty taels per month is not enough."

"Okay." Kim Shin is not a slim person when it comes to money.

"Release Luochuan."

"It's okay to let it go, but his identity is unknown. The Hong Prince's Mansion will not take him lightly." Jin Shen said.

"Yes." Jin Man thought for a while and said, "When I was fifteen years old and my hairdressing, I would move out of the mansion and live by myself."

"Only the descendants of the throne who inherit the title can establish their own residence. Jin Man, this is not something I don't agree to you, it depends on your own ability."

"I have the ability myself, and my second uncle only needs to provide an opportunity to show my ability." Jin Man looked at him with a smile, "If I make a name for myself, it will be legitimate to give you a pension and give it to you. You can also gloriously preserve the reputation of the Hongwang Mansion."

"If I can't make it out, I will not lose you. Anyway, I'm all people with tablets."

Jin Shen got up and walked back and forth in the ancestral hall several times, obviously still thinking about the feasibility of Jin Man's words.

Jin Man didn't urge him. Seeing him wandering around, she ran to the couch and sat down.

The two of them changed positions, and now they are Jin Man looking calm and composed.

"I promise you." Jin Shin stopped in front of her.

Jin Man also stood up and stretched out a hand, "Thank you, Uncle Second."

Kim Shin reached out and made an appointment with her.

"Second Master, there's a riot in the woodshed." Xie Yan's voice came in from the crack of the door. He didn't know what was being said here, and he was exploring it in his voice.

"What's wrong with the woodshed?" Jin Man opened the door and almost ran into Xie Yan, who was protruding his head. Sweat beads were oozing from his forehead. It seemed that he was rushing back from somewhere.

"Is it Luochuan?"

"This... I can't say. Miss, it's better for you to go and see it yourself." Xie Yan remembered the scene he just saw, but he still didn't dare to tell the truth. Please download the novel app to read the latest content
