A very important custom in the ancient Chinese tradition, Chu Chen asked himself, if it were the first thing he would do when he woke up after sleeping for two thousand years, he would also want to find his hometown and take a look.
No matter how much time passes, the roots must still be there.
The two entered Changping Village.
The villages are all in ruins, and the houses lack the smell of fireworks. They look dilapidated, and many of them have even collapsed.
There are overgrown weeds on both sides of the house.
"This is Changping Village."
Chu Xiaoyu jumped up, stood on the roof, looked into the distance, and looked around the entire village, "There is really no one left."
The village is surrounded by mountains and is too remote.
Chu Xiaoyu quickly locked the location of the Changping Village Ancestral Hall on the roof. He was not a monkey, so naturally he would not run around on the roof. He jumped down and led Chu Chen forward. After twists and turns, he quickly
Come on, the road ahead is much tidier, and the grass on both sides of the road is obviously cleared frequently. At the end of this road, up some twenty steps of stone steps, is where the ancestral hall of Changping Village is located.
Compared with the dilapidated and old houses in Changping Village, the ancestral hall has obviously been renovated. It has a flat roof, but every detail is decorated very delicately. When you walk into the ancestral hall, you can see each spiritual tablet with a word written on it.
The name of an ancestor from Changping Village.
The higher the seniority, the higher the position of the spiritual tablet is set. The name on the top is Xue Dongming.
It has a history of about 800 years.
After Chu Xiaoyu burned a stick of incense, he observed the ancestral hall, and finally his eyes fell on a location, "This should be the place where the stone slab was originally enshrined."
The slate was stolen and a space was left here. Chu Xiaoyu made a rough gesture and found that it was indeed the size of a pregnancy stone.
From the moment he entered Changping Village, Chu Chen had been paying attention to the situation around him.
No trace of the Yuan Shen's appearance was found.
Or maybe, too much time has passed and Yuanshen can no longer find Changping Village.
"Everyone in Changping Village has the surname Xue."
Chu Chen said, "The oldest name that can be traced back is Xue Dongming. However, I just read the information and found that this village migrated during the war. I don't know what their identity was before they came to Changping Village...
"Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. It would be too difficult to trace this point.
Suddenly, Chu Chen raised his head and looked outside, "A car has entered the village."
Chu Xiaoyu was a little surprised.
The two walked out of the ancestral hall.
Soon, the sound of rapid and messy footsteps came.
"hurry up!"
"Don't let them get away."
"We must catch them this time!"
A dozen young men, holding long sticks in their hands, rushed over menacingly.
"Who are you!"
"Hand over our ancestral tablets."
"We have called the police."
Chu Xiaoyu understood that these were the villagers of Changping Village. After the slate was stolen, they must have been guarding a certain intersection. When they saw his car entering Changping Village, they immediately organized people to chase it.
"Why call the police?"
Chu Xiaoyu stood up and said, "I am the police."
Everyone was stunned.
Chu Xiaoyu suddenly pointed at Chu Chen, "Don't you all know this person?"
The villagers came closer and took a look.
Suddenly, the wooden stick in someone's hand fell to the ground, and he didn't notice it hitting his feet. His eyes were filled with heat and excitement, "It's Hero Chu! It's Hero Chu!"
"Am I dreaming?
Hero Chu actually came to our Changping Village."
"Master Chu, you must save our Changping Village."
the villagers shouted.
The scene fell into chaos for a while.
Chu Chen also quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Due to the theft of ancestral slates, the villagers in Changping Village have been having trouble with everything these days, and various accidents have always occurred.
For example, my child's test scores were not as good as other children's, a young man failed in an interview, a villager fell while driving an electric car, and the village elder's wife's socks disappeared. Fortunately, the neighbor Mr. Wang kindly found them and sent them back...
The villagers of Changping Village hated the thieves who stole the ancestral stone slabs. After calling the police, they spontaneously set up a hidden sentry at the intersection. Unexpectedly, they actually waited until a car from outside the village entered the village again.
They thought it was a thief who had returned, but unexpectedly, it was the world-famous Hero Chu who entered the village. Moreover, Hero Chu also told them that he came to Changping Village to investigate the theft of slates in Changping Village.
One case.
The villagers are extremely excited. With the help of Hero Chu, the ancestral stone slab will be recovered and the thieves will be brought to justice.
"Does any of you know when the stone slabs appeared in the village?"
Chu Chen asked.
The young villagers looked at each other and shook their heads.
“The ancestral stone slab in the ancestral hall has been there since we can remember, and it is so heavy that no one can lift it.
An old man in the village said that the souls of the old people who passed away in Changping Village will enter the ancestral stone slab and stay in the ancestral hall forever, which is why this ancestral stone slab is so heavy."
The soul enters the ancestral tablet.
Chu Chen guessed that this was probably derived from the legend of the Divine Pregnancy Stone, which has been passed down to this day and turned into a place where souls are stored.
This also shows that the old people in Changping Village may really know something.
As for the various accidents that the villagers just mentioned, they should be just pure accidents. Of course, Chu Chen couldn't judge the case of the village elder's wife's missing socks.
"Have the villagers in Changping Village all lived separately after they moved out?"
Chu Chen asked.
"That's not true."
The villager replied, "Almost all the people in our village bought a piece of land in the west of the town and concentrated there."
"Where are the old people in the village?"
Chu Chen said, "I have something to ask the elders in your village about the ancestral stone slabs in Changping Village."
The villagers immediately said, "Then we must ask our grandpa. He is already one hundred and five years old this year, but his body and bones are better than many eighty-year-olds. Moreover, the genealogy of our Changping Village now,
It is also in the Grand Duke’s hand.”
At this time, a villager hesitated for a moment and then said, "If Master Chu wants to see Grandpa Chu, you can leave the town. We will invite Grandpa Chu to come out and meet Master Chu."
Hearing this, Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it convenient for me to go directly?"
The villagers looked at each other for a long time, and then the villager who spoke just now said, "To be honest, there have been too many bad things in our Changping Village recently. What we just talked about were just small things, but just this morning, something happened
A big thing happened. There was a nineteen-year-old girl. After she went to bed last night, she never woke up again.
The girl’s family is preparing for a funeral, and if Master Chu goes there, I’m worried that it will bring unknown bad luck to Master Chu.”
