It was getting dark, and the ghost girl and the little seventh princess came back from the front mountain together.
The two big lanterns outside have not been hung up tonight. It is dark outside, but the inside of the ancestral hall is brightly lit, creating a strong contrast between the inside and outside.
The ancestral hall is one of the most important places. Although the ancestral hall in the back mountain is not as lively as the ancestral hall in the front mountain. Few people come here a year, but Cangyunmen is never stingy when it comes to spending money. The ancestral hall in the back mountain is visited every year.
It will consume at least 40,000 candles. These are not ordinary candles, but fish oil candles that burn very slowly. The purchase price of each candle is twenty taels of silver. Just for the annual candles, Cangyun Sect will have to give it to the future generations.
Shanzu
The teacher's ancestral hall cost 800,000 taels of silver.
In addition, thirty-six huge plates of dragon-head incense are required every year, which makes this thing even more expensive. Each plate of dragon-head incense costs more than three thousand taels of silver.
There are also other expenses.
It is conservatively estimated that the annual expenditure of the Houshan Patriarch's Ancestral Hall is over one million taels.
You must know that the entire inner sect disciples of Cangyun Sect, plus those in the Elders' House, only receive a monthly salary of one million taels. It has been more than four thousand years since Cangyun Sect was established.
, one million taels per year, it can be calculated that the Cangyun Sect's expenditure on the Houshan Patriarch's Ancestral Hall exceeds 400,000 taels. Even if the Cangyun Sect has declined in the past eight hundred years, there has still not been much reduction in expenditures.
The budget on the back mountain ancestral hall.
The reason why we value the Houshan Ancestral Hall so much is because it is the resting place of Cangyun Sect’s ancestors.
Four hundred and fifty expensive fish oil candles are always burning at the same time, placed on several special wooden shelves, so that the ancestor's ancestral hall is always bright no matter day or night, and has never been extinguished for a day.
This has a moral meaning, indicating that the Cangyun Sect will always be in the light under the protection of the ancestors of the past generations.
This is what Chinese civilization is like.
People in the world firmly believe that as long as the place where their ancestors rest is bright, the descendants of future generations will surely move towards glory. Therefore, everlasting lamps will be installed in many underground palaces.
The ghost girl's bald little head poked in from the edge of the door, and then, another bald head was superimposed on top of her head.
Four big eyes were spinning around, looking into the room.
I looked inside for a moment and saw several people standing near the nanmu tree coffin in the corner.
Just when Xiao Qi was about to call out "Chef Ye" happily, her mouth was covered by the ghost girl.
The ghost girl whispered: "Stop talking! Let's run away first!"
Xiao Qi puzzled: "Why did you sneak away? Chef Ye is no one else, and you are still afraid of him?"
The ghost girl said angrily: "I'm not afraid of him, but...didn't you see there were two other people in the room?" Xiao Qi seemed to only have Chef Ye in his eyes, and really didn't care about the others, quietly
I stretched my head to look inside, and sure enough I saw several people standing next to the nanmu tree coffin. In addition to the old Xiao Yu and the beautiful Yun Yatou, there were also two big beauties.
female.
She retracted her head and whispered: "There really is someone else. He looks familiar to me."
The ghost girl said: "Doesn't it look familiar? That's my second sister."
Xiao Qi suddenly realized, and when he thought about it carefully, wasn't the beautiful woman in linen clothes the Xuan Ying he had seen in heaven? As for the long-haired and charming woman in white, she was the nine-tailed fox demon Xiaofu.
The ghost girl took Xiao Qi and was about to run away. She seemed to be very afraid of her second sister.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cold voice came from inside the house: "Get in."
Xiao Qi said: "We have been discovered, let us get in."
The next scene made everyone in the room dumbfounded. They saw these two little girls squatting on the ground, supporting the ground with their hands, pressing their bare heads against the floor tiles, and rolled into the ancestral hall.
Xuan Ying said: "What are you doing?"
The ghost girl rolled around a few times, collapsed on the ground, and said innocently: "Second sister, weren't you the one who asked us to come in?"
Ye Xiaochuan, Yun Qiyou, and Yao Xiaoyu have long been accustomed to these two troublemakers.
However, Xuan Ying and Yao Xiaofu were not familiar with these two people and were a little stunned for a moment.
The ghost girl stood up and said with a smile: "Second sister, we meet again, why don't you stay in heaven for a few more days. As long as I am in charge in the human world, nothing big will happen!"
Xuanying was speechless.
She couldn't figure it out. She and Yun Qiyou both had cold personalities. Why was the ghost girl so naughty? Is this little girl really her sister?
Yao Xiaoyu said: "Why are you two the only ones back? Where is the small building?"
The ghost girl shrugged and said: "Every time we reach the top of the mountain, that slug disappears. She probably knows that she is too bored and doesn't get along with us, so she goes to have fun on her own."
Xuan Ying said to Yao Xiaoyu: "That Xiaolou is one of the leaders of the seven organizations you mentioned?"
The demon little fish nodded slightly.
Xuan Ying turned to Ye Xiaochuan and said, "It's getting late. Why don't you and Xiaoyou go back? After a while, you received more than a dozen letters from Feihe. There should be something going on in the front mountain." Ye Xiaochuan waved his hand and said, "No.
Come on, the master uncle and the leader of the Four Meridians are having a meeting at Samsara Peak today. I can tell with my toes that it must be about appointing me as the young master. I hate attending such meetings. When they are dismissed, I and Xiao
secluded
Go back. Didn’t you just say you were going to open this nanmu tree coffin to see if Plum Leaf is really still alive? Open it quickly, I can’t wait!”
Compared to going to the study to attend the closed-door meetings of those seniors, Ye Xiaochuan still finds it more interesting to hide here and watch an old goblin who has been sleeping for 24,000 years.
This nanmu tree coffin has been placed under a very powerful prohibition barrier. Most people cannot open it. Only people at the Sumeru realm can open this tree coffin.
Xu Tian said that Li Ziye was still alive and that he still had some powerful Yushu exotic flowers in his body. Ye Xiaochuan was very interested in this.
When she heard that the nanmu tree coffin was about to be opened, the ghost girl was startled and said: "You are crazy, what is inside is plum leaves, she is the enemy of our Yun family, let her out, in case she really
What should I do if the corpse is fake?"
Ye Xiaochuan stretched out his hand and pulled the ghost girl aside and said: "Do you have any right to speak here? Go and have a rest."
The ghost girl still wanted to stop everyone from opening the coffin.
However, Xuan Ying and others all wanted to see Li Ziye, so naturally they wouldn't take Gui Yatou's words to heart.
If it hadn't been disturbed by the sudden return of Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi just now, the tree coffin should have been opened.
Xiao Qi pulled the ghost girl and said: "Little ghost, didn't you see that there are two big men in the Sumeru realm in this room? If Li Ziye really faked the corpse, it would be best to kill her together.
Already."
Gui Yatou felt that what Xiao Qi said really made sense.
I can't beat Li Ziye, but my second sister can beat her. Just now, I tried my best to prevent the coffin from being opened, but now I excitedly asked Xuan Ying to quickly open the coffin and poke several big holes in Li Ziye's body.
