The matter of lighting incense and paying homage to Lord Taishan is not a trivial matter to me. In my current position, it is impossible for me to do this, but now this so-called rule has been placed in front of me.
Seeing my silence, the village chief continued: "If you don't want to, I won't force you, but you can't go to the top of the mountain."
"Anyone who has no respect for Lord Taishan is not qualified to go up the mountain."
The young Mr. Ghost also looked at me, "Don't you want to go up and have a look?"
"Just say goodbye."
As he spoke, the young Mr. Ghost walked to the altar table and began to light incense.
I looked at it and still chose to refuse.
I shook my head and said, "I can't do it."
"Since I have to go to the top of the mountain, I won't go."
After saying that, I walked directly outside the ancestral hall.
Going to the top of the mountain is actually not important to me. The reason why I want to go up is just to confirm whether the key to cracking this illusion is the statue of Taishan Mansion on the top of the mountain.
That's all.
If you can't go up the mountain in the easiest way, for me, there are still two options.
One is to wait patiently.
The other is to go straight into the mountains.
I can do the latter at any time, but the zombie village I see now is too peaceful and I don't want to destroy it.
Seeing that I was walking decisively, the young Mr. Ghost immediately chased me out. He looked at me puzzled and asked, "You just left like that?"
"It doesn't matter if I say goodbye."
I smiled and shook my head.
"It's nothing, but I don't want to worship."
"What's this?" Young Mr. Ghost still didn't understand.
"And it's such a pity that you just left like that. There are still great shows to watch at the top of the mountain."
"What's the show?" I asked.
The young ghost thought for a while and said: "After the ancestor worship is over, there will be a blessing from Lord Taishan. This blessing will select some people, and the selected people will be able to get a part of Lord Taishan's power."
"What's so interesting about this?" I asked doubtfully.
The young Mr. Ghost looked around, and then whispered: "I heard that Lord Taishan will appear at that time, don't you want to see what the so-called gods look like?"
I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, but after thinking about it for a moment, I shook my head and said, "No need."
"There is a chance."
After saying that, I walked down the mountain.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Ghost, the young man, did not go back to the ancestral temple. Instead, he followed me all the way down the mountain. When I saw him following, I asked: "Aren't you going to see it?"
The young Mr. Ghost shook his head and said, "Actually, there's really nothing interesting to see."
I smiled and said, "Everyone knows that you don't believe in Taishanfu Lord, so don't they all want to see you?"
The young Mr. Ghost shook his head and said: "It's not that bad, it just won't let me touch some things. I don't care. If possible, I would like to leave here."
"Or ruin it all."
“What’s wrong with believing in? You have to believe in God?”
I was stunned for a moment, and seeing that his words didn't seem to be false, I smiled and joked: "If I told you now that I could help you ruin all this, what would you do?"
When the young Mr. Ghost heard this, he directly covered my mouth, then looked at me angrily and said, "I said it's okay."
"If you say it and are heard, it will be in trouble."
After saying that, Mr. Ghost let go of my hand, and I smiled and said, "Isn't this no one?"
Mr. Young Ghost shrugged, and then sighed: "Actually, if you can really do it, I will thank you."
"I always feel that this so-called blessing from Lord Taishan is not credible."
"It would be a good thing if they could wake up."
"If you can really do it, I will definitely support you."
"But..." Mr. Ghost looked me up and down, "I don't think you can do it."
"How old are you?"
"Based on your age, you probably still have to call me brother!"
I smiled helplessly.
After taking another look at the direction of the top of the mountain, he continued walking down the mountain.
By this moment, I was almost certain of two things.
One is the young ghost gentleman in front of me at this time. His purpose from the beginning may have been to let me destroy the statue of Taishan Prefecture on the top of the mountain. This may have something to do with the real Taishan Prefecture.
It is also possible that this is the true thought of this young Mr. Ghost, and he has already known what I am capable of.
As for the village chief.
What he did was most likely to ask me to worship Lord Taishan.
Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Ghost and I returned to the foot of the mountain and were about to rest, someone knocked on the door.
The person who came was none other than the village chief.
The village chief walked in, glared at the young Mr. Ghost and said, "Forget it if he comes down. If you don't go to worship your ancestors, what's the matter?"
The young Mr. Ghost said indifferently: "I don't care about this thing."
"It doesn't matter if I have more ancestor-worshiping matters, and it doesn't matter if I don't have one less."
The village chief said angrily: "Are you going to make me angry to death?"
As he said that, he was going to fight Mr. Ghost. When Mr. Ghost saw this, he turned around and ran away. Then he sighed helplessly, and then looked at me.
I watched them the whole time.
When the village chief looked at me, I looked at him too.
He kept saying helplessly: "My little friend, I made you laugh."
"That's what this kid is like, he won't listen."
"He has behaved this way during the past few visits to ancestors. If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in this village anymore."
"If you don't stay, you won't stay." The young Mr. Ghost said nonchalantly.
The village chief glared at him and continued: "To be honest, he is a direct descendant of our lineage. If he is driven out of the village, our lineage will have no successors."
"Although I am the head of a village, I can't continue to protect him in this matter."
"He followed you just now and was finally willing to do the ancestor worship thing, but because of your sudden departure, he also ran away."
"So look..."
"Do you want me to take him with you to worship Lord Taishan?" I looked at him and asked.
The village chief nodded slightly and said, "That's what I mean."
"But I won't let you suffer."
"If you are willing..."
"I don't want to!" Before I could speak, Mr. Ghost had already interrupted him.
"Do you really think I will go if he goes?"
"I'm not going anyway."
"You..." the village chief pointed at him, pretending to take action again. Seeing this, I shook my head and said, "I won't do this."
"If you really want to force me to worship Lord Taishan, then... I have no choice but to leave here."
"You..." The village chief looked at me, then at the young Mr. Ghost, and after a moment he sighed: "Well, you young people do have your own ideas."
"In that case, you should leave the village after tonight."
