Wrong hold? The fake daughter made her whole family famous by relying on metaphysics

Perhaps because of her status as Zhang Chen's girlfriend and fiancée, Tian Yueling's cooking was particularly sumptuous. Not to mention the Manchu-Han banquet, there was almost no room for the dining table.

I took out the bacon and dried fish that I had planned to save for the festival.

At the dinner table, Tian Yueling mentioned the ceremony intentionally or unintentionally: "In three days, the fifth immortality ceremony will be held. You can go with us."

Of course Yu Qing would not refuse: "Okay."

Seeing that she was so obedient, Tian Yueling nodded with satisfaction: "After dinner, go back to your room and sleep. Don't go out at night. Wild wolves from the mountains will occasionally run down."

"Wild wolves are very ferocious. Several villagers were killed by wild wolves before." After Zhang Guangze finished speaking, he went to fill up a bowl of rice.

I don’t know what happened recently. I used to be full after eating two bowls of rice, but now I have to eat five bowls of the same size to be full.

Maybe it was because he had been bleeding a lot and his body had become weak.

"I know, thank you uncle and aunt for reminding me."

Yu Qing and Zhang Chen looked at each other, then stood up and returned to the room at the same time.

Zhang Chen: "Mom and Dad, I'm full."

When Zhang Guangze and Tian Yueling saw them entering the same room, they were happily waiting to hold their grandson.

……

"Although our village is located near a mountain, there have never been wild animals on the mountain. After I came back, I did hear that several people were bitten to death."

Zhang Chen said while sitting on the bed, leaving Yu Qing to sit on the only chair in the room.

"Have you seen the corpse?" Yu Qing sat on a chair with his legs crossed, his eyebrows looking careless, and he was tapping with a brush in his right hand.

dong dong——

Zhang Chen shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. The ones who died were a few relatives from the side line. The wives of the villagers were all acquaintances from other places, and their relatives didn't come to attend the funeral."

Fengwu Village belongs to the same clan, so it is naturally impossible to marry someone from the same village. All married women are either from Yuncheng or from other provinces.

The day Zhang Chen returned home, he only saw a few coffins. He went to see the burial process, but he didn't see the body with his own eyes, and it was difficult to judge whether it had been bitten to death by wild animals.

"It doesn't have to be a beast." She looked at the thick gray-blue mass outside the window, "Maybe it's something else."

Zhang Chen was about to cry but had no tears: "Hey, what are these things? When I came back, the village changed drastically. First, the villagers started raising sheep, and then there was the so-called longevity ceremony."

"How much do you know about the details of the Immortality Ceremony?" Yu Qing asked.

Zhang Chen: "I don't know very well. I just heard from the villagers that people lying in coffins can eliminate all diseases, even terminal ones, but they need to pay a price, which is bloodletting to sacrifice to the gods."

"Everyone who has participated in the longevity ceremony can receive a sheep to take home. People in the village say that the sheep are blessings given by the gods. However, I have never laid down in it. These three times, I was responsible for closing the coffin and prying it open."

Of course Zhang Chen didn't believe such evil things, not even the people who brought him back home a few years ago, but they couldn't resist, and if the consequences were serious, they would be imprisoned in the ancestral hall.

Originally, being imprisoned in the ancestral hall was not a terrible thing. No child at such a naughty age has not been forced to kneel down before his ancestors, but something has obviously gone wrong in the ancestral hall recently.

There is always an eerie cold atmosphere inside, and it makes you feel uncomfortable when you get close to it. It feels indescribable, as if you are surrounded by air and pinching your throat.

Zhang Chen suddenly thought of something and his face faded: "I remember, all the people who were locked up in the ancestral hall did not come out, and no one gave them food, so they..."

Yu Qing thought for a while: "There may be something in the ancestral hall."

"..."! ! !

……

……

At midnight. Zhang Chen hid under the quilt and rolled his body into a ball. He could vaguely hear subtle movements downstairs. It seemed that someone had gone out under the cover of night.

I don’t know if Sister Yang will be in danger if she goes to the ancestral hall, but if she says it’s okay, then she should be fine.

On the other side, Yu Qing was walking on the bluestone road, and he could already see the Zhang Ancestral Hall in front of him.

It was late at night, and there was not a single lamp in sight in the whole village. Only the bright moonlight shone in the sky, and the lantern hanging in front of the ancestral hall had disappeared.

Yu Qing climbed over the wall and entered the ancestral hall. The courtyard was clean and dust-free. The middle door was half open, and white light poured out from inside.

"This blood is simply not enough. How about holding another sacrifice and selecting some villagers?"

"No," the old man asked in a low voice, "Have all those sheep been fattened?"

"It's almost time. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. There will be another immortality ceremony in three days. If we don't have enough supplies, I'm afraid the gods will punish us."

"Let's think of another way. Let's choose a few fat sheep first."

"Okay, then I will also prepare a few lists first, so that if there are not enough by then, I will not be in a panic and not be prepared at all."

"That's very good, just do whatever you want..."

The sound of the two men talking gradually came towards the door. The door was opened, and the yard was empty without a trace. They continued to talk and walked away.

Yu Qing, who was hiding in the darkness, looked at the two people walking away. One of them she had seen during the day was the elder collecting the ceramic bowls, and the other was the clan leader.

The two of them left without closing the middle door. They didn't know whether they were too reassured about the villagers or had unknown confidence.

Yu Qing felt a cool breeze blowing over him, bringing out the smell of blood.

Entering through the middle door is not even close to the place where the memorial tablet is placed. There should have been other things inside, but they have all been moved away now.

White candles hung from the sky on thick ropes, which were lit. There were many candles on the ground, with almost no footholds, and the room was brightly lit.

Candles of different sizes were placed irregularly, and in the middle was a huge coffin. The material was made of banyan tree and had a strong yin energy.

Yu Qing stepped over several candles and walked to the coffin. With a "dong dong" sound, the brush tapped twice on the coffin, but there was no special sound from inside.

She placed the brush on the coffin lid and prepared to pry it open...

"Who is inside?"

Following the angry accent, footsteps came from outside the door, it was the patriarch and the elder who were returning.

When the clan leader saw the stranger appearing, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who are you? Why did you sneak into our Zhang clan's ancestral hall in the middle of the night?"

He looked at the person standing in front of the coffin. He seemed to be covered in a fog. He couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

I saw the man gradually turning back, his face still unclear, as if it had been blurred.

"You can't even recognize the gods?" A cold voice sounded.

The cold wind was biting, and the clothes made a rustling sound. The clan leader and the elders took a few steps back in unison, and a chill spread across the soles of their feet.

This voice was different from what they had heard, but it felt similar and terrifying, conveying endless coercion and making people want to surrender.

The patriarch glanced at the people around him invisibly, and then knelt on the ground: "Lord God, I wonder why you suddenly appeared?"

The strangeness revealed everywhere made him believe that the person in front of him was a god.
