"The eldest young master has arrived. The Chu family cemetery is in front of us." A guard said.
"I saw it."
Li Xiuyuan arrived on horseback, looked up, and saw an archway standing in front of a cemetery not far away. There was a stone plaque hanging on the archway, which read: Chu Family Cemetery, in four big characters.
When I came here at night, this was not an archway, but the gate of the Chu Mansion.
But during the day, the ghosts here cannot perform the art of transformation, and everything will reveal its original shape.
"Hey, the coffin board is still here."
When Li Xiuyuan was riding across a stream, he saw a coffin board lying upside down beside the stream.
This coffin board has been around for some time. The paint on it is peeling off and there are many places where it has rotted. It is also stained with a thick layer of black mud, as if it had just been dug out of the ground not long ago.
"It is indeed a coffin board. The young master was right about what he said last time." The guard said in surprise.
The last time we came, an old man stood by the stream and greeted them, asking them to help carry the old man across the stream.
Fortunately, after being reminded by Li Xiuyuan, the two guards were not confused, otherwise they would have carried the coffin board on their backs.
Li Xiuyuan ignored the coffin board, crossed the stream, and entered the Chu Family Cemetery.
Inside the Chu family cemetery, there are rows of tombs standing next to them. They are all the tombs of Chu family servants and servants. If you continue walking forward, the specifications of the tombs have improved a lot. You can enjoy a bluestone tombstone on it.
They are all tombs of relatives of the Chu family, but the tombs further ahead are surrounded by stones and neatly repaired. They are the tombs of the descendants of the Chu family.
However, there are some tombs that are luxurious and exquisite. They are not only made of white marble, but also have stone lions on both sides nearby. These tombs are located on the so-called Feng Shui treasure land in the Chu Family Cemetery.
Those are the tombs of the ancestors of the Chu family.
Several generations of the Chu family are buried here.
In one of the places in the Chu family cemetery, there is also an ancestral hall for sacrifices. In the ancestral hall, the rankings of the ancestors of the Chu family are displayed.
The incense here is very prosperous, and the Chu family's dedicated old servants take care of it and make offerings every day to ensure that the incense continues.
"Isn't it good to just stay in the ancestral graves and enjoy the incense? Why do you want to harm the world?" Li Xiuyuan came to the front of the Chu family's ancestral hall and couldn't help but murmured as he looked at the densely packed rows of seats in the bright ancestral hall.
Said to himself.
From the size of this ancestral hall, we can see how powerful the Chu family is in the local area.
It's just that such strength did not bring good fortune to the Chu family, but brought destruction.
"Is this young master here to offer incense? The incense is over there. Young Master can go and get it."
When the old servant guarding the ancestral hall saw Li Xiuyuan at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he immediately came out, bowed respectfully, and then spoke.
He regarded Li Xiuyuan as a distant relative of the Chu family.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "No, I'm not here to offer incense. These ancestors of the Chu family have already enjoyed enough incense. I'm here to deliver a memorial to them."
"If you want to burn the sacrificial inscriptions, please burn them in the incense burner over there." The old servant in the ancestral hall pointed to a huge copper furnace and said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, but this memorial should be the last piece of incense enjoyed by these ancestors of the Chu family."
After saying this, he greeted and led his guards into the ancestral hall.
The old servant who was guarding the ancestral hall was a little confused, thinking that this young man was a bit weird. His words did not show any respect for the ancestors, but instead contained some insults.
Li Xiuyuan did not insult the ancestors of the Chu family, but came with hostility, so naturally he would not be so respectful.
He took out the sacrificial inscriptions that he had prepared long ago from his arms, lit them with a nearby lamp, and threw them into the copper furnace.
The sacrificial inscription quickly burned and turned into ashes, but you could faintly see the first few characters on the sacrificial inscription: Please sacrifice to the gods.
This is not a sacrificial text to worship ancestors, but a sacrificial text to ask the God of Thunder to slay evil spirits.
The sacrificial inscription burned cleanly quickly, but a stream of green smoke was seen, contrary to common sense, floating straight up into the sky, as if forming a straight line, connecting the sky and the earth. This was different from the ordinary incense used for worship.
Smoke is completely different.
Li Xiuyuan watched the green smoke rising into the sky, trying to reach the sky, and couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Huhu~!"
However, at this time, there was no wind in the ancestral hall. A dark wind floated from all directions, blowing towards the green smoke that rushed into the sky. It seemed to want to blow away the green smoke and let the green smoke rise.
Disappeared in mid-air.
"Why is there so much wind here?" The guard felt very unbelievable.
He felt a chill when the wind blew on him, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "We are praying to the gods in someone else's ancestral hall, Li Shao. The ghosts here will know immediately. They are blowing the dark wind to disperse the smoke, so that my sacrifices to the gods cannot reach the sky. In this way,
The gods in the sky will not know what is happening here."
"But this is a useless move. My sacrifice to the gods cannot stop these ghosts."
After saying that, he watched the green smoke go straight into the sky, surrounded by dark winds, but it did not affect the blue smoke at all. There seemed to be a mysterious force in the blue smoke that blocked the power of these ghosts.
"Huh~!"
A black wind suddenly blew above the courtyard of the ancestral hall. It was rich and dark, with a fishy smell, as if something was rotten.
The black wind vaguely transformed into a human face. He opened his mouth and inhaled, trying to suck the flying smoke into his mouth.
"Ah~!"
But the next moment, a wisp of green smoke floated over, and there seemed to be a scream in the black air. Then the black air trembled and seemed to collapse.
"Can you old ghosts stop this memorial of mine?" Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
The sound echoed in the ancestral hall, causing gusts of dark wind to rage in the darkness.
"Li Xiuyuan, you are asking the gods to send sacrifices to heaven. Do you really want to invite the gods in the sky to level all the ancestral graves of my Chu family?"
The old servant who was guarding the ancestral hall came over. His eyes were confused, but when he spoke, it was the voice of Minister Chu.
Li Xiuyuan took one look and knew that the old servant was possessed by Mr. Chu.
"Shilang Chu, I'm not here to fight with you, but to reason with you. Don't get me wrong." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
"To be reasonable? You are trying to destroy the ancestral graves of my Chu family."
The old servant possessed by Shilang Chu was furious and said: "You are still a saint in the world, but you actually did something like destroying the ancestral graves of bad people. It is really a heinous crime."
"The ancestral graves are indeed worthy of respect. After all, death is a big deal, but what about the graves of evil spirits?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes suddenly became sharp: "You still have the honor to be the ancestors. In my opinion, you guys are just a group of evil ghosts with moral principles entrenched in the world, wreaking havoc and misfortune, and I will not regret death. I will not commit other crimes."
There are too many to count, and based on what happened today, I should be able to defeat you evil ghosts."
Chu Shilang was shocked and angry. He knew that Li Xiuyuan's arrival here meant that he had failed to explain to his grandson Chu Tian.
In the name of hunting, I was not able to kill this Li Xiuyuan.
The saints in this world are really blessed. They can survive such an assassination without any trouble, and they don’t know what twists and turns happened in it.
"You don't have to look at me like that. People who kill people have to be judged by the court, either imprisoned or beheaded. You ghosts confuse mortals and kill people. The local city god doesn't care. I, Li Xiuyuan, will take care of it. Today I will sentence you group
The evil spirits will be punished with death, and all the evil deeds in the past will be reckoned with today."
Li Xiuyuan said with a cold voice.
"Li Xiuyuan, are you really not giving me a chance?"
The old servant possessed by Minister Chu was trembling all over, whether he was angry or afraid.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "It will never make sense to argue with you ghosts. Your principles are principles, but others' principles are not. I have given you the opportunity a long time ago, but you didn't want it yourself, and now you want me to give you the opportunity?
"
"If you really wanted me to give you a chance, you wouldn't have stopped me from praying to the gods first, and then you would have given in after you couldn't stop me later. I hope I will forgive you. I have never seen such a shameless person. I'm sorry to you.
In my previous life, I was an official and served as a minister, and I have been a ghost for so many years. I am afraid that I have completely forgotten all the etiquette, justice, integrity and shame."
At this time, Chu Shilang gritted his teeth and said, "Li Xiuyuan, if you really want to fight to the death with my Chu family today, even if one of my Chu family is still alive in the future, he will go to your Li family to avenge your descendants."
You can’t live in peace.”
Li Xiuyuan said without fear: "I have even killed the thousand-year-old demon, so why should I be afraid of you little ghosts? If my descendants are really found by you Chu family people, it will be my descendants who owe a debt of virtue and good fortune.
If a person has shallow virtue, even if he dies in the hands of you monsters, he will bring it upon himself. Don’t worry, I won’t blame you. On the contrary, I will thank you because you let my descendants understand the importance of merit. In the future, I will say
Maybe my descendants will be good and accumulate good virtues under your influence."
"..." Mr. Chu had nothing to say.
He has been studying for so many years, and now Li Xiuyuan's words have made him understand what is upright and aboveboard.
Without saying a word, Chu Shilang turned into a dark wind and left. There was no room for turning around, so he had to prepare to escape.
We can no longer stay at the Chu Family Cemetery.
"Boom~!"
Just as he turned into the dark wind and walked away with his front legs, a thunderbolt sounded from the sky behind his back legs.
The Chu family's ancestral hall trembled slightly due to the thunder, and dust fell from the roof. At the same time, the tablets placed on the Chu family's ancestral hall began to fall with the sound of thunder.
When they came down, some fell to the ground and fell to pieces, some fell on the wooden frame and could no longer stand up, and some simply peeled off the gold paint, the names on them were dull and there were faint cracks.
"What, what happened?"
The old servant who regained his consciousness was shocked when he saw this scene.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Old man, this is an ominous sign. Maybe you should leave the Chu Family Cemetery."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and signaled the guards to leave.
It's time to go out and say hello to the Thunder Lords in the sky.
