"Aren't you busy practicing during this period? My cultivation has just recovered not long ago, and I am now consolidating it."
Chen Tian was sweating in his heart. What was going on with this girl? She looked like a resentful woman in the palace. He immediately said a few perfunctory words and quickly sent Chen Yawei away.
"Okay, you go ahead. I have to go back to practice. Remember not to be late, otherwise my grandpa will say that I didn't notify you in time." Chen Yawei pouted her pink lips, sighed resentfully, and then
Turn around and leave.
"This girl." Looking at the leaving figure, Chen Tian shook his head and then closed the wooden door.
"It's finally time to perform the ancestor worship ceremony." Chen Tian murmured to himself. Growing up, Chen Tian had been looking forward to the ancestor worship ceremony very much. Chen Tian didn't know much about his family's affairs. The names of those ancestors,
Chen Tian also knew nothing.
Every time I asked, Grandpa always kept silent. Now, he could finally understand the confusion that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. He quickly reorganized himself and prepared to start the ancestor worship ceremony.
…
In the spacious hall, Chen Zhan was sitting on the seat opposite the door, while Chen Geng was sitting next to Chen Zhan. Below, Chen Tian, Chen Yawei and Chen Hao, who had a bruised nose and face, were standing solemnly.
This ancestor worship ceremony was not as grand as expected. Neither Chen Tian's eldest uncle, second uncle nor his father came.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Zhan and Chen Geng nodded to each other, and then Chen Zhan said: "Come with me, don't ask or tell later."
"I understand, Grandpa." Chen Tian and the other three nodded in agreement. Grandpa has his own reasons for saying so. He just needs to do what he is told.
"Yes." Chen Zhan nodded, and then walked towards the study, while Chen Tian and the others quickly followed.
Chen Tian walked at the back, wondering why the ancestor worshiper was going to the study room? Could it be that the ancestor's tablet should be placed in the study room?
But Chen Tian knew the situation inside Chen Zhan's study very clearly. There were no memorial tablets for ancestors at all. Could there be a hidden tunnel inside? Shaking his head, Chen Tian stopped thinking about it and quickly followed him into the study.
.
The spacious study room is filled with shelves for books. There are all kinds of books on the shelves. On the walls, there are several paintings that Chen Zhan painted in his spare time.
Several people entered the study room. Chen Zhan walked to one of the most inconspicuous paintings and took it down. Suddenly, a hidden space was exposed to the air.
There was a square piece of jade placed in the secret compartment. The jade was extremely ordinary and not valuable at all. Chen Zhan put his hand on the jade and turned the jade to the right with force.
"Click, click," as the jade stone rotated, the bookshelf closest to the desk actually moved to both sides. When the bookshelf was moved, Chen Cai realized that there was actually a dark tunnel behind the bookshelf.
Seeing this, Chen Tian nodded. It turned out that there was such a hidden tunnel in the study. At the same time, Chen Tian was also puzzled. His family was one of the four major families in Kalan City, but why should the ashes and tablets of his ancestors be placed so secretly?
, is there anything fishy in it?
"Come with me." Chen Geng held the newly lit candle and walked ahead, entering the tunnel first. Chen Zhan was the second to enter, and Chen Tian was the last.
As soon as he entered the tunnel, Chen Tian saw a staircase with ten steps standing there. The entire tunnel could accommodate two people walking side by side. The height was also very good, as high as two people.
Moreover, the tunnel was filled with a faint fragrance, which was the smell of burning incense. Chen Tian reached out and touched the walls and floors in the tunnel and found that they were extremely clean. Someone must have come in to clean them frequently.
Chen Geng walked in front, lighting the candles hanging on the walls on both sides with the candle, and the five of them slowly walked deeper into the tunnel.
After a while, no one came to a large stone door. The stone door was so thick that its weight was estimated to be measured by tonnage.
"Drink" Chen Zhan and Chen Geng walked to the stone door, drank softly together, quickly pressed their hands on the stone door, and then gathered the spiritual power in their bodies in their hands to push the stone door hard.
"Boom!" Under the push of two spiritual masters, the thick stone door slowly opened.
"Come in." After the stone door opened, Chen Zhan waved his hands to Chen Tian and the others, and then led the three people inside.
The moment he walked in, Chen Tian looked at the scene in front of him and his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
Behind the stone door is a space that is two-thirds the size of the Chen family's residence. It is filled with candles. Under the illumination of the candles, you can clearly see that there are around five people tall objects inside.
A long wooden shelf twenty people wide. On the shelf, there are densely packed spiritual tablets. The spiritual tablets are large and small. If you count them carefully, there are tens of thousands.
In the center, stands a large bronze cauldron, with unburnt incense burning on the cauldron.
"This, this is the tablet of the ancestors of the Chen family?" Chen Tian looked up at the countless spiritual tablets, and was filled with shock. It has only been only thirty years since the Chen family was founded. How come there are so many tablets of the ancestors? He has never had one.
I’ve heard of it!
"Master, what's going on? How come there are so many spiritual tablets of ancestors?" Chen Hao swallowed, looked at Chen Zhan, and asked with confusion.
"I just told you clearly, don't tell, don't ask." Chen Zhan drank softly with a solemn look. Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's start worshiping our ancestors. No matter what happens later, don't be afraid. Your ancestors are here."
I won’t harm you.”
After he finished speaking, Chen Geng placed a few sticks of incense to Chen Tian and others, and then led him to worship in four directions. He didn't know what Chen Zhan was saying, but Chen Tian and others couldn't understand a word of it.
However, as Chen Zhan continued to talk, Chen Tian felt that murderous aura began to spread in the air. The murderous aura was extremely strong, and he could even smell a disgusting smell of blood.
"Woo!" A shrill scream rippled through the air. The scream made the hairs on the backs of Chen Tian and Chen Yawei stand up. However, Chen Tian and the others did not panic. They kept Chen Zhan's words in mind and carried out the sacrifice honestly.
Ancestor ceremony.
"Whoosh!" For some unknown reason, a light wind blew strangely inside the tunnel. With the arrival of the light breeze, the shrill screams and the strong murderous aura just now were all washed away without a trace.
At the same time, the ancestor worship ceremony also reached the final step. Chen Tian and others placed incense on the bronze tripod, which also heralded the end of the ancestor worship ceremony.
"The ancestor worship ceremony is over. Yawei and Chen Hao will go back first. Chen Tian will stay. I have something to say." As he spoke, Chen Zhan waved his hand to Chen Geng, who nodded and left with Chen Yawei and Chen Geng.
