After reading my mind, all the villains in the family are in trouble

She took a sachet from outside the house and gave it to Ning Zhishui. It looked like it was homemade, and the needlework was a bit rough.

There are several sachets of this style outside the house, probably for them to wear when going out.

Ning Zhishui smelled the sachet and roughly knew what herbs were in it. Although these herbs were not of high quality, they were still really effective against some poisonous insects.

But it's only limited to some less powerful poisonous insects.

"Thank you, auntie, I'll accept it then."

Seeing her say this, Auntie breathed a sigh of relief.

For her, the house at home was ready-made, and Ning Zhishui, who was so petite and petite, didn't seem to be able to eat a lot, but the large piece of animal meat she took out was too precious.

Although I didn’t know what kind of animal meat it was, once I saw the quality of the meat, I knew it was not the usual cheap stuff. The big piece was enough for their family of three to eat for several days, and the rest could be dried into dried meat slowly. eat.

Ning Zhishui was willing to accept the sachet, which made her feel much better.

After dinner, Uncle Du went to work. He and his son Du Zheng had to prepare some medicinal materials.

Ning Zhishui took advantage of his absence and pretended to talk to her aunt about the ancestral hall in the village.

"I saw it when I came here. It's very new, and the texture on the outside is quite special and very beautiful." Ning Zhishui's tone was like that of a girl who is inexperienced in the world when she sees something beautiful, with some admiration. Praise.

Auntie felt that she owed her a bit for accepting Ning Zhishui's flesh. Besides, there were no elders who didn't like handsome and polite young people, so when Ning Zhishui mentioned this, she spoke naturally.

"That one was offered by the village's incense. It was a favor given by the immortal."

She pointed to the sky as she spoke, her tone reverent.

Ning Zhishui was confused when he heard this, "Incense offering? Immortal kindness?"

The term "immortal" often refers to monks who have successfully ascended to heaven.

These people are all people with names and surnames who have left traces on the mainland. After they ascend, when people mention them again, they will often add the word "Shangxian" after their names to show respect.

But...offering them incense?

Ning Zhishui had a strange expression——

Shouldn't this be done by the descendants of those people, or those who have benefited from them?

Chaomen Village is located in a remote location, and it doesn't look like it has been favored by those people. As for future generations, that is even more nonsense.

Apart from anything else, those who can successfully ascend know the secret of "immortal energy". This means that they are destined to be members of famous families and sects. How can they have anything to do with the small Chaomen Village?
Not to mention that the Incense Temple is still new!
When Ning Zhishui asked, the aunt explained the reason.

"I don't know much about it, but a few people came to the village last month. They said that some of their ancestors had become immortals. They were given dreams by the immortals, saying that the ascended immortals must be worshiped with incense. In this way, their strength in heaven will be greatly increased, so we hope that we can offer incense to them."

The aunt lowered her voice and said, "In return, they will reward us with crystal stones for the whole village. But they also said that in case we are just pretending, they will come over to check every once in a while. If they find that we don't follow the instructions, then they will Immortals will punish you."

"Oh, by the way, it's good that you know this, don't make it public, and don't spread it to anyone else. I was told to keep it a secret and not to spread it outside the village, otherwise they will be angry if they find out!"

After Ning Zhishui heard this, he just wanted to shout——

Absolutely ridiculous!
This statement can only deceive people who are remote and have not seen much of the world, because anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is impossible.

What kind of dreams are there, what kind of punishment comes from an immortal... this is all nonsense. Because once a monk ascends, he will completely cut off his connection with the lower world, and there will be no communication between the two worlds.

Otherwise, if it was true as they said, those families with immortals in their families would have come out to show off and trick everyone, and everyone would have wished that other monks would kowtow to them.

How could it be as secretive as here, not even daring to let people from other villages know?
No wonder Uncle Du was vague when talking about this matter to himself. It turned out that those people had said it before and said that it was not allowed to be spread.

The reason why it is not allowed to be spread outside is probably because you don’t want this matter to be exposed, right?

Judging from the location of Chaomen Village, it is indeed difficult for this matter to spread, and even if a few words are occasionally spread, it will probably not attract anyone's attention.

Ning Zhishui couldn't help but think.

Those people must have contributed part of the money, so they persuaded the villagers to agree to the incense offering.

If you are willing to contribute money and build a house, you must have a plan for your efforts, right?

But what exactly are they doing this for?
Ning Zhishui thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

"Auntie, you're so kind and willing to tell me." Ning Zhishui pulled her sleeve, "Then can you take me to see it? I really want to know what it's like inside."

"I'm afraid not." The aunt quickly shook her head, "Those people have been in the village for a long time. Everyone in the village has already met you. You are a new face. They may be unhappy if you go."

Ning Zhishui is not their relative, and he just came here. Those people will definitely interrogate him when they see him.

If he knew that Ning Zhishui was from outside and told her about incense, the other party would definitely lose his temper.

At that time, maybe the old man will blame himself for not being able to keep his mouth shut.

Ning Zhishui thought that she had bumped into Sister Mai on the way here with Uncle Du. She knew that she was not from this village, so her idea of ​​pretending to be from this village would not work.

In this case, don't embarrass your aunt and the others. After all, you can just leave, but they have been living here for generations.

So Ning Zhishui didn't ask any more questions and just stopped talking.

The aunt couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she glanced at Ning Zhishui higher.

Although this little girl is not very old, she is very measured in what she does and says, and does not embarrass anyone at all. She also knows how to deal with people and makes people comfortable to get along with.

If it were her, it would be fine to stay at home for a longer period of time. She would be willing to entertain.

The rain is indeed as Uncle Du said, it won't stop once it starts, but it is getting heavier and heavier.

From this point of view, the earliest we can leave is tomorrow.

At night, Ning Zhishui, who was sleeping in the house, opened his eyes.

She listened attentively. Several other people were already asleep and there was no other sound.

So she opened the door softly, and after checking that no one was around, she walked towards the ancestral hall.

The village was extremely quiet at this time, there was no other sound except the sound of rain, but as Ning Zhishui approached, he saw several figures on the other side of the ancestral hall.

No, to be precise it is not an ancestral hall, it should be the "Shangxian Temple". (End of chapter)
