The deeper you enter the house, the more compelling the momentum becomes. It seems that all the gods and spirits from heaven and earth are gathered here.?
?
Although the expression on Li Luo's face remained unchanged, there was some horror in his heart, something that could only be detected in the Dagan Imperial Tomb.
Although it is not as powerful as the heavenly mausoleum in the Dagan Li family's imperial mausoleum, it is still powerful. Its killing spirit is not as good as that of the mausoleum of the fallen soldiers of the Xifu army. It is long and long, but it is better. But look at Ye Shiyao.
As if unaware, she knew that she had not noticed this momentum before, maybe her martial arts had not reached such a level yet.
There are two entrances to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall for enshrining the ancestors' memorial tablets is at the back, and the one in front is a place for discussion in the village.
After Li Luo and the others entered the house, many people had gathered in the house. Li Luo glanced around and found that most of them were mountain bandits he had seen during the day.
The rugged man and Wen Zui were already sitting on chairs, and the lean man was also leaning on a wooden pillar. There were also a few older men whom Li Luo had never seen before, except for the second boss in the village.
When everyone saw Ye Shiyao and others coming in, they all stood up and saluted. Ye Shiyao hurriedly returned the salute, showing great respect for the elders. When the lean man saw Li Luo, he nodded slightly, and Li Luo returned the salute.
No words were spoken.
An old man with gray hair on his temples said kindly: "Shiyao, come in quickly and pay homage to your clansmen."
Ye Shiyao hummed, then looked back at Li Luo and said, "Master Li, please sit down for a moment. I'll be right back."
Li Luo responded, and Shi Zhao saw Ye Shiyao turning into the back hall and whispered: "The back is the place where ancestors are worshiped in the village. No one is allowed to enter without permission. I have been here for a long time, but it is not long."
Let me in."
Li Luo glanced at Shi Zhao, smiled softly and said, "How long has Mr. Shi been in this village?"
Shi Zhao grinned and said, "Two years."
"Oh," Li Luo responded lightly, and suddenly saw Ye Xiaoxi standing aside, and asked in surprise: "Why doesn't Miss Ye go in?"
Ye Xiaoxi glanced at Li Luo and lowered her voice: "Not all women can enter the ancestral hall. There are less than ten women in the village who can worship like my sister."
Li Luo was startled, and while several people were talking, Wen Zui came over, looked at Ye Xiaoxi with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, what have you been busy with lately?"
Shi Zhao frowned, and Ye Xiaoxi smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Wen, hello, I'm not busy with anything. I dried some tea leaves a few days ago and will send some to Brother Wen to try in a few days."
Wen Zui nodded frequently, said a few good words, stared at Ye Xiaoxi's bare hands and sighed: "What a pair of hands, but it's a pity that they can only do menial work, which is a waste of natural resources."
Shi Zhao snorted, but Ye Xiaoxi didn't notice anything. He smiled slightly, hid his hands behind his back, and said with a sly smile: "Xiaoxi can't wield swords and guns like her sister and Brother Shi. She can only do housework, how can she do it?"
What a pity."
Wen Zui laughed and glanced at Shi Zhao and Li Luo. Li Luo turned his head and looked away, seemingly not paying attention to the conversation between them. However, Shi Zhao looked at Wen Zui indifferently, with a look that seemed a little disdainful.
A look of sullenness flashed across Wen Zui's face, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Shiyao's cold voice coming from behind: "What are you talking about?"
Wen Zhui paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Shiyao, and said with a respectful salute: "Master, I haven't seen Xiao Xi for many days, so come here for a chat."
"Oh, get ready to discuss the matter. Why hasn't my second uncle come yet?"
Wen Zui glanced outside the door and exclaimed, "I don't know much about this. How about I go find the second master?"
"No, wait for him." Ye Shiyao frowned, then opened her eyes, took a seat in the middle, and asked everyone to sit down.
The older man sat on the left, enjoying a cup of wine, while the rugged man and the lean man sat on the right. The empty seats were occupied by the second master of the village.
Shi Zhaotian was in the last seat on the right. Ye Xiaoxi couldn't sit in the front row, so he and Li Luo sat in the back right.
The lights were on in the room, and Li Luo took a quick look. Apart from tables and chairs, there was nothing else. It was very simple. The tables, chairs, and floor were quite clean. It seemed that someone was cleaning them from time to time.
Ye Shiyao chatted and laughed with everyone in the room and chatted about other things, but she didn't feel impatient.
After a while, the second master among the bandits walked in. Wen Zui stood up in a hurry and saluted: "The second master is here."
The people on the right saluted, and Ye Shiyao also stood up and said harmoniously: "Second uncle, you are here."
The middle-aged man's face twitched and he said calmly: "Yeah."
"Why is it so late, and the legs and feet are not as good as those of us old men?" The old man on the left who had let Ye Shiyao in to worship said dissatisfiedly.
The middle-aged man seemed unaware and without even looking at the old man, he said hoarsely: "Master, please wait a moment while I go to offer incense."
After saying that, he bowed his hands and turned around to enter the back hall, leaving the old man blowing his beard and staring in anger. The two people beside him hurriedly tried to persuade him a few words before giving up angrily.
After a while, a middle-aged man came out, bowed his head to Ye Shiyao, and sat on the right seat. The old man who was dissatisfied with what he said just now snorted: "How can you let the big guys wait for you when discussing matters in the clan? There are no rules."
The middle-aged man smiled sinisterly and said, "You have nothing to do. You might as well come over earlier and clean the ancestral hall. We are still busy with the livelihood of thousands of people."
The old man was furious and shouted: "What did you say?"
Ye Shiyao's beautiful face turned cold and she said reproachfully: "Second uncle, be careful what you say."
The middle-aged man's expression changed, he laughed loudly, cupped his fists and saluted, "Uncle Ye, I'm joking with you. Don't take it seriously, Uncle Ye. There are some things that need to be sorted out when I go down the mountain today. Please don't blame me for being late."
The old man named Ye Bo turned blue and white, snorted heavily and said nothing.
Ye Shiyao felt a headache for a while, then put it aside and said loudly: "Everyone is here, let's start. We invite you all to come here for two main things.
The first thing is that the village has saved some money in the past few months. After a while, the brothers in the village will go down the mountain to exchange for daily expenses and transport it up the mountain. Recently, I heard that the defenders of Quanzhou and Gongzhou have been mobilized frequently, so be careful.
For the best, don't leave any traces.
Second uncle, it’s up to you to take care of this matter, Huang Shun and Shi Shaoxia, you two will help from the side.”
"Okay." The middle-aged man responded, and the lean man in the seat stood up, bowed, and said, "Well, I'll listen to you." It turned out that the lean man was called Huang Shun. Shi Zhao looked at Ye Shiyao and smiled softly,
He nodded slightly.
The rough man said loudly: "Grandma, I'm afraid these cowardly officers and soldiers will do something. If they dare to come, I will send them back to their hometown with an axe."
An old man on the left heard this and scolded: "Young man, we are living a life, not fighting. If you love fighting so much, you might as well join the army and kill enough on the battlefield."
The rugged man rubbed his head and laughed and said: "No more, no more, I'm not going to be a soldier and defend the world for the stupid king and thieves. I might as well turn over the land on the western hillside." (To be continued.
