Day and night tour

Chapter 100 Nuomian's trump card

During the process of the unity of spirit and flesh, Zhou Xuan's body would occasionally shake.

But the shaking was very small. Xu Li and Song Jie, who were keeping watch, were both mentally exhausted and reacted slowly, and did not notice anything wrong.

……

Finally, the day dawned.

The Zhou family's cafeteria had prepared shredded pork noodles early, and by the time everyone in the class had finished their noodles, it was not far from the agreed auspicious time, so after a short rest, they could start the Nuo performance.

The four senior brothers did not go to eat noodles, they were waiting for the coffin to be sealed.

First, the coffin master hammers a nail into each of the four corners of the coffin.

This nail requires professional skills and cannot be hit off the mark, otherwise the lid of the coffin will open halfway and make a fool of itself.

Four nails are enough to secure a coffin, but five are needed.

The last nail is the burial nail, which is driven in by a relative.

The four brothers hammered most of the fifth nail in, and Zhou Lingyi hammered the last half in.

Just after the nail was driven in, Xu Li trotted over and whispered in Zhou Lingyi's ear.

"Ok?"

Zhou Lingyi frowned and hammered the fifth nail twice. After making sure that the flat head of the nail was flush with the wooden surface of the coffin, he quickly walked into Jingyu Hall.

……

In the Jingyu Hall,

Twenty-seven Nuo masks were all turned over.

Zhou Lingyi knows best what the flipping of the Nuo mask represents.

She suddenly understood why when she invited nine Nuo performers to perform Nuo opera for her brother the day before, not a single one of the nine faces objected!
original,

It’s a trap set by these ancestors!

They had never thought of holding a Nuo parade at Zhou Xuan's funeral.

"Master, ancestors..."

Xu Li's words of complaint were stopped by Zhou Lingyi.

"Sister-in-law, the ancestors probably feel that we didn't take good care of them, so they're angry. Go wait outside and I'll talk to them."

Xu Li said nothing more, left the Quiet Hall, and closed the door.

"My dear ancestors, today is the day my brother will be sent up the mountain. There is no need to make such a fuss."

Zhou Lingyi walked straight to the charcoal-colored Nuo mask, who was the oldest in the family, and said, "My brother has already decided to go to the Nuo Mountain for a tour. I think it's inappropriate for you to suddenly change your mind."

The charcoal-colored Nuo mask suddenly stood up and floated in mid-air. Its hollow eye sockets seemed to have vicious eyes, glaring at Zhou Lingyi.
"Zhou Lingyi, you took in a stranger as your brother, and when that stranger died, do you still want to sing Nuo opera for him?"

"Is it possible for anyone to perform Nuo opera? Only those who have done great favors to our Zhou family and those who have done great deeds in Pingshui Prefecture are qualified to sing at funerals."

"When you go up the mountain to perform the Nuo ritual, you must go to your ancestral tomb. How can a mere outsider deserve to be buried in the ancestral tomb?"

Several Nuo masks of ancestors were hung in the air one after another, loudly scolding Zhou Lingyi.

“First, my brother has done a great favor to our Zhou family. He almost destroyed our Zhou family’s accumulated achievements. It was he who risked his life for us.

Second, my brother is admired by the eminent monk Lotus Goddess of Pingshui Prefecture. How can this not be considered a great virtue?

Third, the younger brother was found by Zushu and grandfather together. You all know why they found him. It was to continue the fate of the Zhou family.

Zushu and grandfather have both recognized him as a son of the Zhou family, why don’t you recognize him!
You guys don't listen to grandpa's ideas.

You should listen to the words of the ancestral tree, right?"

In Zhou's class,

The ancestor tree is the real ancestor, but it is almost always asleep and rarely wakes up.

"The ancestral tree can also make mistakes sometimes!"

The charcoal-colored Nuo mask laughed coldly, "Continue the fate of the Zhou family? Haha, that outsider has died himself, what can be continued?"

"Haha, if he really has great luck, how come he can't even save his own life?"

"The ancestral tree made a mistake, and your grandfather made a mistake too, but you just don't acknowledge it. I've said it before, when a girl is in charge of a family, she tends to act on her emotions."

"Now that the Zhou family has no other descendants, there is no choice for selecting other class leaders. Zhou Lingyi, I doubt you..."

The charcoal-colored Nuo mask stared at Zhou Lingyi and said maliciously, "I suspect you deliberately let Zhou Xuan's soul be taken away. Without your brother, no one can shake your position as the leader of the group."

Zhou Lingyi clenched his fists tightly.

really,

Our ancestor Nuo mask has never trusted her!

Even though she single-handedly led the Zhou family to its current decline, in Nuomian's heart, she was nothing more than an impulsive head of the family.

What made her even more angry was that
The ancestor Nuo mask actually used the reason that "his younger brother is already dead" to doubt Zhou Xuan's ability to continue the fate of the Zhou family!

"So, you've been missing your old brother? Have you forgotten who was to blame for the withering of the ancestral tree?
The popularity of the Zhou family has declined, whose fault is it?"

"He is young and ignorant. If he were a few years older, he might not be inferior to you!"

"Zhou Lingyi, I asked you to take charge of the Zhou Clan only to wait for Zhou Xuan to grow up, but I didn't expect that you, as a sister, can't even protect your own brother!"

Nuomian's words were like sharp knives piercing into Zhou Lingyi's heart.

Zhou Lingyi vaguely recalled that rainy night when her brother, in front of everyone, accused her of being a secret agent and a dirty person with blood on her hands, who was not worthy of worshipping the Nuo gods.

At that time, not a single ancestral Nuo mask ever said a good word for her.

She recalled that two years ago, when she took over the Zhou family troupe, she knelt in front of the ancestor Nuo in the middle of the night, but the Nuo people ignored her. It was only after her grandfather said some nice words that the Nuo people reluctantly accepted her as the troupe leader.

now,

The Zhou family troupe is on the rise. With Zhou Xuan impressing Lady Lotus, the troupe's business is expected to reach a higher level, with greater popularity. The vitality of the ancestral tree will also return to its peak state.

But these two siblings were toyed with by Nuo Mask!
"boom!"

A red line burst out,
In the Jingyu Hall, there was a crisp sound.
A finger-sized hole was punched through the brow of the black charcoal Nuo mask!

The oldest ancestor, who had been so arrogant just now, fell to the ground in mid-air.

Along with the hole between his eyebrows, spider-like lines quickly spread across the face of the Nuo Mask Ancestor.

"Bang!" Followed by the sound of glass breaking, the Nuo mask ancestor shattered.

"My brother must go up the mountain to perform the Nuo ritual today. If anyone disagrees, I, Zhou Lingyi, will be heartless and lose face for all the ancestors."

There was complete silence in Jingyu Hall for a while.

The remaining twenty-six ancestral Nuo masks were all shocked by Zhou Lingyi's aura.

But then they reacted and each of them showed a ferocious look.

"Reverse Tian Gang!"

"Zhou Lingyi, you actually destroyed the Nuo mask of our ancestor. You are a traitor! You are a traitor!"

"Last time you used the red string to hold us back, and we didn't bother with you because we thought you were the last legitimate bloodline of the Zhou family. But now you've turned against our ancestor."

"All the ancestors, swallowed Zhou Lingyi's Nuo God power and let her wake up to find out where the incense level on her body came from!"

All the Nuo masks were shining with blood. They surrounded Zhou Lingyi and chanted something.

As the spell is chanted,

A rich light blue aura emanated from Zhou Lingyi's surroundings.

The breath was divided into many streams and went into the mouths of the twenty-six Nuo masks.

This light blue aura is the power of Nuo gods in the Zhou family members.

The Zhou family is the descendant of the Nuo god, and every one of their descendants has the power of the Nuo god in their bodies.

Due to different talents, the strength becomes thin or strong.

Zhou Xuan's Nuo power was naturally weak, but Zhou Lingyi's Nuo power was so concentrated that it surprised his grandfather since he was born.

With such a strong power, even if you don't practice the Great Nuo, but practice other halls, your progress will be rapid.

This is Zhou Lingyi, the reason why he could become the parade god in the old temple at such a young age.

but,

The Nuo masks of our ancestors are people who have entered the mysterious Nuo realm and the Great Nuo during their lifetime. They have the ability to control the power of the Nuo gods.

If any descendant of the Zhou family disobeys their orders, they can take away the power of the Nuo god from his body.

Without this power, no matter which hall the Zhou family descendants belong to, no matter how high their cultivation level is, the level of their incense will soon drop, or even be cut off!
Even if the incense is extinguished, it can be rekindled like Yuan Buyu.

If the incense is broken, it means becoming a useless person.

This is the reason why our ancestor Nuo Mask is so domineering in the Zhou family troupe and can establish his position as the troupe leader based on his own preferences!
If you don't obey, we will swallow up your Nuo god power and make you a useless person!
They have been powerful in the Zhou family for a thousand years.

But today, Zhou Lingyi couldn't bear it anymore.

She couldn't swallow this breath.
It was not only for his brother's Nuo opera, but also for the humiliation he had suffered over the years!

The power of Nuo God was quickly drained away, and Zhou Lingyi felt that her body was rapidly becoming empty, but she stood straight. She gambled her own incense and wanted to suppress the ancestor once!
even once!
Use your own incense to challenge the authority of the ancestors for thousands of years!
She knew clearly that the level of the incense would drop quickly, but it would take two to three days for the incense to break. It would not break immediately once the power of the Nuo god was drawn away.

Even though her incense level has dropped one or two levels due to the withdrawal of the power of the Nuo god, she is still the same Zhou Lingyi, and still poses a great threat to the ancestral Nuo mask!
She wants to force the ancestor to agree to You Nuo!

A promise is enough to let go of all the anger.

"Grandmaster, if you promise You Nuo, I will stop. Otherwise, I will risk my life and the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."

His sister was in trouble, and Zhou Xuan, who was in the Shenqi Secret Realm, sensed it. He felt that his sister's power was fading.

The cruel words of the twenty-six Nuo masks echoed clearly in his divine secret realm.

"Unity, unity! The soul and the body become one, faster, faster."

Zhou Xuan was very anxious. He wanted to wake up quickly and help his sister.

Aren't they just those broken masks?
I'm alive now, I'll burn you all to ashes!

But the unity of body and soul is the Nuo god in the secret realm helping Zhou Xuan reshape his soul and flesh. It has its own order and is not affected by Zhou Xuan's subjective consciousness.

Zhou Lingyi's Nuo god power was still being drained away, but she did not back down at all. Her hands were already drooping mercilessly. This would be her third real attack this year, and the Night Wandering God's last chance to attack this year.

"If you agree to let You Nuo go up the mountain, Ling Yi will stop."

Nuomian did not respond.

Just when Zhou Lingyi had decided to fight to the death with the ancestor Nuo mask, the door opened.

A wake-up stick was used to nail a pink Nuo mask into pieces.

Yuan Buyu walked in swaggeringly, fanning himself with a folding fan.

The divine man with seven incense sticks has great momentum.

"Today is a good day for my apprentice to go up the mountain! Whoever makes life difficult for my apprentice will be saddened by me."

After Yuan Buyu finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the wake-up stick.

The wake-up stick flew back naturally and was held in his right hand.

With Yuan Buyu using a wake-up stick to calm the situation, the Nuo masks no longer dared to be too arrogant, and the progress of devouring Zhou Lingyi's Nuo god power also came to a halt.

Zhou Lingyi did not take back the red thread and said, "You Nuo will go up the mountain and wait for my brother to send you. If you want to take my Nuo God power, take it! The Zhou family will eventually decline with you old ancestors. I don't care about this mess!
But if you don't petition and insist on ruining my brother's good day today, then I, Zhou Lingyi, will fight you to the death!"

"Did you hear me? You old bastards, stop talking nonsense to me and get on top of my apprentice's coffin. This is a pre-planned parade, and I will smash you to pieces one by one to save the Zhou family's reputation!"

Yuan Buyu pointed outside the door.

The balance of victory was tilting towards Zhou Lingyi. With the addition of Yuan Buyu, Nuo Mian lost all his momentum.

They were used to being domineering and dominating anyone they could, but now they really realized that the two people in front of them were tough guys.

The Nuo masks were reluctant to listen to Yuan Buyu and Zhou Lingyi out of face, but under pressure and with the lessons learned from the charcoal-colored Nuo masks and the pink-colored Nuo masks, they finally gave in. Twenty-five Nuo masks lined up and flew towards Zhou Xuan's coffin in humiliation...

But they were unwilling to give up after all.

"We must devour Zhou Lingyi's Nuo God power and depose her from her position as the leader of the group."

"Then there is no legitimate successor to the Zhou family."

"Haha, even if there is no one in the orthodox family, there are still people in the side branches. It's the same to help them get to the top."

People who have been strong for a long time only put authority first, and family ties and blood ties come second.

The Nuo masks were hanging above the coffin, and every word they said fell into Zhou Xuan's ears...
