When I heard this, my eyes couldn't help but shrink.
I had thought about the connection between the Zhanshi lineage and Taishan Mansion Lord for a long time, but now it seems that it is much earlier than I thought.
Decades?
Or longer?
I subconsciously took another look at the statue of Lord Taishan, which seemed to be far away, but at this same glance, I felt that he seemed to be looking at me too.
It was as if a gaze fell on me from the statue, and my breathing suddenly became a little faster.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing my change, the young Mr. Ghost glanced at me.
I looked away, shook my head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised."
"I didn't expect you to have such a deep connection with Lord Taishan."
The young Mr. Ghost shrugged nonchalantly, then looked around and whispered: "Anyway, I don't believe in this Mr. Taishan Prefecture. If I can, I will smash his statue sooner or later."
I was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Why?"
The young Mr. Ghost curled his lips and said: "Think about it, our corpse exorcisms are inherently keeping company with the dead. To put it bluntly, this is bad luck and goes against the harmony of nature."
"For people like us, if this Lord Taishan is a true god, will he protect us?"
"Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not protect you."
"I think they all seem to believe in it." I thought for a moment and said.
The young Mr. Ghost said disdainfully: "It's all just ignorance."
"Our lineage has been stable for so many years, but they attribute the stability to Lord Taishan's blessing."
"Especially there are some old guys who secretly refer to Lord Taishan as their monarch and say they have been blessed by Lord Taishan."
"I don't believe it anyway."
A blessing from Lord Taishan?
If I remember correctly, when I was on Huangquan Road in Badong Village, what I said at that time was also the blessing of Lord Taishan.
Now it seems that Lord Taishan's influence on the corpse exorcism lineage has indeed been very early.
So this illusion, the point of exploration, is also here?
While I was thinking, the young Mr. Ghost was already walking towards the ancestral mountain.
When I saw this, I followed him.
At this time, there were already a lot of people in the ancestral land. If nothing else, most of the people from the corpse-removing village should have already arrived at this place.
I followed Mr. Ghost all the way to the mountainside and stopped. Here I saw an ancestral hall. There were many people inside and outside the ancestral hall. There were offerings tables with many tributes and incense burners placed on them.
There were almost three sticks of incense on the incense burners, but they were not lit.
And for those incense burners that did not have incense inserted, people gradually put incense on them after coming here.
Watching this scene, I felt a little dazed for a moment because it was so real.
At this moment, the old man who was called the village chief by Mr. Ghost walked up to us. Seeing that Mr. Ghost was leading me honestly, he patted Mr. Ghost on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "Kid, this is
That’s right.”
"This foreign friend just happened to catch up with our ancestor worship. Let him come and take a look. It is a worthwhile trip."
The young Mr. Ghost rolled his eyes and said, "What's so interesting about ancestor worship?"
"It's not that I don't know where to take him, I won't come here."
The old man glared at Mr. Ghost, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore. He looked at me again and said with a smile: "Young man, if you are interested, just look around, but don't wait until the ancestor worship begins tomorrow."
Ran away."
"Especially you must not go to the top of the mountain."
"Why?" I asked subconsciously.
The old man glanced at the statue of the King of Taishan Mansion on the top of the mountain, and said respectfully: "That is the foundation of our lineage. Except for us, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will."
Speaking of this, the old man whispered: "If you break in without permission, you may never get out."
I was a little surprised. After taking a look at the statue of the King of Taishan Mansion, I withdrew my gaze and said with a smile: "Then it seems I'd better not leave randomly, in case something happens and it causes you trouble."
"I just took a look and joined in the fun."
"Okay, okay." The old man nodded repeatedly, looked at Mr. Ghost again, and then left coldly.
After he left, the young Mr. Ghost said: "It's so scary. How can it be so scary?"
"You're still trespassing and you can't get out?"
"Why didn't I know this happened?"
I smiled and said, "Maybe he just doesn't want a stranger like me to wander around, which is normal."
"But it can be seen that it is indeed very important there."
Mr. Young Ghost spread his hands and said indifferently: "That's it. If you have an idea, I can take you there secretly!"
I shook my head.
"Let's take a look here first."
Seeing my refusal, the young Mr. Ghost seemed to find it boring, so he pointed around and said, "Look, I'll be leaving soon, just tell me and I'll take you to my house."
"good."
I responded and walked towards the ancestral hall.
There are more offering tables inside the ancestral hall.
In addition to the offering table, there were also coffins, and those coffins were obviously unusual, with golden patterns and carvings on them. Just by looking at them, I felt that there should be something extraordinary lying inside those coffins.
Apart from the coffins, what caught my attention was the statue in the center of the ancestral hall.
I originally thought that what was enshrined here should be something like the ancestral tablet of the Zhanshi lineage, but I never thought that it was actually a statue of Taishan Fujun.
It's just that this statue of the King of Taishan Mansion is not special. I stared at it for a while and found nothing else.
After looking around again and finding nothing, I walked out of the ancestral hall. At this time, I was almost certain that the root of this illusion was, if nothing else, at the top of the mountain.
Then the next thing I have to consider is how to go.
Just thinking about it carefully, I can tell from what the village chief said to me before that he attaches great importance to the top of the mountain. Otherwise, there would be no need to specifically say those words to me to remind me.
And when they worship their ancestors next, there will definitely be guards on the way to the top of the mountain. It won't be easy for me to go up, unless I force my way in.
But under the current circumstances, forcefully breaking in might be counterproductive.
After walking out of the ancestral temple, I set my sights on the young Mr. Ghost.
Although I have rejected him once, but now it seems that maybe he is the key to me reaching the top of the mountain.
After thinking for a while, I walked up to him and said, "Everyone is busy, I'm in the way here, should I go back first?"
The young Mr. Ghost yawned and said, "Then let's go."
"If you are interested in it in the evening, I will bring you back."
"At night?" I asked doubtfully.
The young Mr. Ghost nodded and said, "At one past midnight tonight, everyone will start preparing to worship their ancestors."
"When the time comes, all three branches of our bloodline will reveal their respective backgrounds."
"The excitement will only come then."
"Okay. Then come back when the time comes!" I didn't refuse and nodded.
This fits my idea exactly.
Maybe I can take advantage of that time and let him take me up the mountain!
