Chapter 3 Visiting the ancestral hall at night(1/2)
"The bones of my adoptive parents have been stolen, and the graveyard has been cursed by evil people. According to the wishes of the clan leader, they are ruthless and will not let me go.
What will the other party do if they deal with me? What is the most effective and quickest vicious method?
Could it be that they would take action against my longevity tablet?
This possibility is too high. Who knows if they know about the evil things I experienced when I was a child? They do everything they can and there is no bottom line in doing things. No, I have to go over and have a look!"
When I thought of this, I was covered in cold sweat, and I immediately turned around and ran towards the ancestral temple.
It only took a few minutes to arrive outside the ancestral hall.
Two white lanterns hang on the door beam of the dilapidated old ancestral hall. Below the lanterns are placed paper-wrapped boys and girls. Inside the ancestral hall are the tablets of the ancestors of the Fang family.
Although I am not the biological child of the old couple of the Fang family, I have been included in the Fang family tree, so I am a member of the Fang family.
There were white candles as thick as an arm's length lit in the ancestral hall, which was eerie and scary.
Although the ancestral hall is dilapidated, it is not small in size. The ancestral tablets are five or six meters away from me. There are only a few white candles flickering in the breeze, and the environment is extremely dark.
My longevity tablet is placed in an inconspicuous corner.
He strode into the ancestral hall, closed the door behind his back, and stepped forward to take his own longevity tablet in his hand.
Thinking of Mr. Yin and Yang's words from the palace boss Wan, who warned not to damage the tablet, my mind was racing. I must know that once the immortal tablet is destroyed, the danger of the soul leaving the body will once again envelope me.
"Fortunately, its surface looks very complete and there are no cracks."
I looked over it over and over again, feeling relieved in my heart.
"Click."
There was a crisp sound like a thunderbolt from the blue, which shocked me hard.
Right under my nose, a crack suddenly appeared on the longevity tablet.
"not good!"
I was so frightened that I subconsciously stretched out my hand to cover it, but this action was of no avail.
"Kakaka!"
The longevity tablet was completely broken.
The sudden change left me in disbelief, and I watched the tablet turn into sawdust and fall to the ground.
At this moment, I seemed to hear a simultaneous cracking sound coming from my body, as if an invisible shackle was broken, and my spirit felt light.
"Did the other party do something to the longevity tablet before I arrived? Damn it!" I was shocked and angry.
"Hey, what is this?"
My eyes suddenly froze.
Among the sawdust on the ground, a metal object flashed with light, it was an ancient key.
"Why is there a key in the longevity tablet?"
Puzzled, I picked up this thing and looked at it carefully. This discovery diluted the horror caused by the tablet's self-destruction.
In any case, it has become an established fact that the longevity tablet is broken, so I can only adapt to the situation. If I continue to dwell on this matter, I will be doing useless work.
Try to be as open-minded as possible and focus on the key you just found.
"The key has complicated patterns engraved on it. It seems to be very valuable. Could it be an antique?"
"Oh, what's going on?"
The key in my palm suddenly turned on its own, which made my scalp tremble with fright. Fortunately, I threw it out without losing my temper.
When it stopped, the handle of the key pointed in a direction where my grandfather's spiritual tablet was placed.
"What the hell."
I looked over there.
I have never met my grandparents. They have passed away long ago, but this does not hinder my respect for them, because it was their son and daughter-in-law who raised me!
After thinking for a moment, I slowly walked over, bowed three times to my grandfather's memorial tablet, and asked my grandfather not to blame me for moving his memorial tablet, and then I took my grandfather's memorial tablet aside.
Under the spiritual tablet is a wooden altar table, which looks like a solid structure from the outside. I looked at it for a while, stretched out my hand and tapped it tentatively, and it made a hollow "Peng Peng" sound, but it seemed to fit perfectly.
After searching for a few minutes, I discovered that there was an inconspicuous bulge on the edge, but it didn't move when I pressed it down. After thinking about it, I tried twisting it clockwise and counterclockwise.
"Kakaka!"
After a few slight noises, a large piece of wood suddenly sank down where my grandfather's tomb was originally placed.
"This mechanism is too powerful!" I was dumbfounded.
I went over to check again, and everything was invisible under the super strong vision.
Inside the big hole is a dark metal box with a large lock on it, a very old lock.
I tried to move it out, but the lower part seemed to be fixed and could not be moved at all. In desperation, I could only reach out and insert the key into the keyhole.
After a slight twist and a series of sounds, the ancient-style lock really opened.
At this moment, I was full of curiosity and excitement.
He rubbed his hands nervously, opened the lid of the box, and focused his eyes to look inside.
What came into view was a pair of baby swaddling clothes with blackened blood stains on them.
The box seemed to be incorruptible, and the baby looked new.
There was a note on it, with only eight words on it.
"The things you return to are related to your life experience."
I immediately recognized the handwriting of my adoptive father and was stunned for a moment.
"It turns out that there are things that belong to me hidden here. Why didn't my adoptive parents tell me?"
Lots of doubts, but no answers.
He stretched out his hand to take the object out. As soon as he put his hand on it, he knew that there was something inside.
Putting the swaddling clothes on the table, I squinted and looked at it, then untied it casually. When the objects inside were revealed, my pupils shrank.
Two items appear before your eyes.
A compass that looks extremely ordinary, and a worn and yellowed ancient book.
Taking the compass into my hand, my heart suddenly felt tight, as if there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at me at this moment.
I was agitated, and when I tried to feel it carefully, nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
I took several mouthfuls according to the traditional method and secretly cursed the evil family.
I looked at the compass carefully and found that the needles on it were not moving. Could it be that it was broken?
Carefully place the compass into your pocket.
Only then did I have the energy to read the ancient book.
"Maoshan Yin Yang Ghost Corpse Secret Technique".
A line of traditional Chinese characters fell into my eyes.
I bit my lower lip, surprised in my heart.
"Maoshan? There is indeed such a mountain, but it is only a well-known tourist attraction. I have not heard of any sects and traditions. So what is this book in front of you?
The title of this book sounds a bit scary and sinister."
My hands were shaking a little, so I subconsciously picked up the book and opened it to read.
"Huh?"
I was completely puzzled.
"With such a powerful name, I thought it contained some earth-shattering secret inheritance, but when I opened it, I was dumbfounded. It turned out to be a wordless book?"
Read "Hua La La" from beginning to end, and I'm sure there's not a single word in it.
"Is this a prank?"
I closed the book angrily.
Only then did I notice that the bottom of the book cover was marked "Volume 1".
"Emotions, this is still a set. Is there a second volume? There are no words or pictures, so even a set is useless, right?"
Cursing inwardly, he stuffed the scroll into his trouser pocket.
After all, it is an object I carried with me when I was a child. It is related to my life experience, so it can be regarded as physical evidence, so it must be kept properly.
If I find my biological parents in the future, I plan to beat them to death. How dare they abandon me? This is unbearable!
After checking the swaddling clothes inside and outside, I found that there were blood words on it, which were marked with my birthday and birth date, and my name was "Fang Gui".
Finding nothing else, I stuffed it back into the metal black box in the dark compartment and locked it.
