Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 896 Unknowing Substitute ([-])
The ancestral ancestral hall in Hongding Village has a large interior space, divided into two floors, inside and outside. The altars in the ancestral hall are filled with fireworks, candlesticks and many spiritual tablets.

Chen Zhi noticed that everything here was completely different from ordinary ancestral halls. All the spirit tablets and table cases were well-defined and uniform, and the indoor layout was also square and orderly.

And most importantly, all the names on the spirit cards are officials and civilians.

Chen Zhi silently walked to the tribute table in the sacrificial temple, directly raised his hand to pick up the spirit tablet on the table, and looked through it.

"Hey, orange..."

Seeing this, Fat Wei behind him hurriedly stopped Chen Zhi's movements in a low voice, and at the same time winked in the direction of Yingzi behind him.

It is disrespectful to casually flip over the spirit cards of other people's ancestors in front of their descendants. Fat Wei is really afraid that he will be shot into a hedgehog by the people of Hongding Village soon after he goes out.

However, Fat Wei turned his head and found that Yingzi behind him was still standing there stupidly, looking at Chen Zhi with a puzzled expression, but he didn't speak to stop Chen Zhi's behavior.

In this way, Chen Zhi began to look through all the spirit cards on the table carefully, then turned to look at Yingzi,

"Yingzi, you said that these people are the ancestors of your village, do you know what they do?"

"This……"

When Yingzi heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a while, he slowly replied:
"Should be farming just like us!

I have never seen these people. My parents died when I was very young. I was raised by the people in the village. They told me that the ancestors of the village are enshrined in this temple, and they come to worship during festivals. , I don't know the rest! "

"Is it……",
Chen Zhi looked at Yingzi's clear eyes, said nothing, turned around the long tribute table, and went straight to the back of the ancestral hall. This is the back hall, which is a dilapidated area that cannot be seen from the front.

The ground in the back hall is full of dilapidated wooden boards, and there are many curtains under it. These things seem to be very old. When you touch them lightly with your hands, the curtains immediately fall apart and turn into ashes.

Those wooden boards were also all broken. Chen Zhi rummaged inside for a while, and finally found some rusty weapons under the wooden boards. Those weapons were all Qing Dynasty weapons, and all of them were engraved with the steel seal of Qing Dynasty military affairs. They were scattered under the wooden boards in a mess, and there seemed to be something under the wooden boards!
Chen Zhi picked up the sundries on the top at will, and there seemed to be a deep hole underneath. Chen Zhi reached into the gap and felt, and found a large smooth wooden board with several uneven carvings. When Chen Zhi's hand touched those words, all guesses were confirmed...

"Yingzi, don't you want to know what the movies in the city are like? May I tell you a story in the movie right now?",
Chen Zhi stood up from the ground, walked slowly in front of Yingzi, found a place to sit down, and looked directly into Yingzi's eyes.

"What on earth are you trying to say? Why are you talking about it?"

Yingzi saw that Chen Zhi's appearance was obviously abnormal, and looked at Chen Zhi and Fat Wei with some anxiety.

"Chengzi, don't..."

Fat Wei seemed to have sensed what Chen Zhi wanted to say, and immediately came over and stopped him in a low voice: "Didn't we all agree just now? Don't talk about some things first! After taking her back, tell her slowly, and let Xiao The girl has a time to accept it~~~~"

"If you don't tell the truth, can you keep it a secret forever?" Chen Zhi turned to look at Fat Wei, "The most basic right of all living beings is to know what they are!"

"What are you guys talking about? Why are you so scary? If you keep talking like this, I'll go back to my uncle in the village!",
Yingzi was obviously frightened by Chen Zhi's appearance, and turned around to leave.

"They are not your uncles, and they will never give you the truth!" Chen Zhi looked at Yingzi and said calmly,

"But I can give you the truth, the question is, do you want to hear it?"

"I……",
Yingzi looked at Chen Zhi with flickering eyes, and then at the other people around him.

Besides Pang Wei, Mina, Ji Ying, Ding Ning and Lao Somersault stayed in the village. At this time, Yingzi could clearly sense that these people in front of him were no longer as simple as tourists.

"Now I want to tell you about a foreign movie!" Chen Zhi looked at Yingzi and said slowly.

"In that movie there were a lot of zombies, and the heroine always thought of herself as a normal human being, fighting zombies all the time.

But in the end she discovered that she was just a human clone, and there are many clones, and she was just one of them, a puppet..."

"Ah~~, I haven't seen those foreign things!" Yingzi stared at Chen Zhi with wide eyes, his eyeballs rolling in a panic,

"What the hell do you mean by all this?"

"I mean..."

Chen Zhi's eyes were fixed on Yingzi:

"Some people look exactly like humans, but they are not humans. Even from childhood to adulthood, from birth to death, they don't know that they are puppets created by others!"

"You mean to say that I'm a dummy?"

Yingzi's eyes were fixed on Chen Zhi, her eyes were flushed because of her agitation, the blood vessels on her forehead burst out, her little face was as red as fire,
"You liar, are you trying to lie to me by saying this? I have heard that you people in the city are full of lies. If I am a dummy, how can the uncles and uncles in the village treat me so well? Who uses their own food to feed a Where's the dummy!"

"It's not that they treat you well, but their manipulators ask them to treat you well...",
Chen Zhi looked at Yingzi firmly with his eyes, and said softly:

"They don't have subjective consciousness. Everything about them is set by others. Your village called Hongding Village is not real at all. The villagers in the whole village, including you, are all created by others. The puppet that came out!"

"You, you, you are talking nonsense, you have a demonic disease..."

Yingzi yelled angrily, stood up and looked at Chen Zhi and the others:

"You outsiders like to lie. Our Hongding Village has been on the top of this mountain for so many years, and the ancestral hall of our ancestors is still here. Those on the spirit cards are all our ancestors. How could they all suddenly become fake!"

"The people on these spirit cards are not your ancestors at all...",
Chen Zhi said firmly,
"These are military officers who were appointed to guard the mountain here, and that village is not called Hongding Village at all, it was originally the imperial military camp of Qin Tianjian.

After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he got up and went back to the pile of broken wooden boards just now, and dragged out the wooden boards under the sundries with his hands.

I saw that it was a wooden plaque covered with dust, but it was still eye-catching with a few large characters sealed with red paint:

"Imperial Gift, Zhenshan Division Barracks"
