"Look, Ren Xiaoge can talk a lot."
The great uncle turned his head and said to the second uncle who followed him.
"How can I compare with Ren Xiaoge..." The second uncle smiled and sat down at the stone table.
Hearing this, Grand Uncle glared at him, but didn't say anything more, turned around and continued talking to Lian Ge.
……
After chatting a few more homely gossips, Grand Uncle and Lian Ge started talking about serious business.
"Little song, today is the tenth day of the seventh lunar month. The usual ancestor worship ceremony starts on the twelfth day of the seventh month and lasts for three days until the fifteenth day of the seventh month. Do you think this day is set like this, or does it need to be changed? ?”
"There is no need to change it, just follow the date set before." Lian Ge shook his head and said.
"That's fine." Great Uncle nodded, then took out a list,
It is the one given by Lian Ge before, but there is an extra '√' at the end of each column
"Xiaoge, this is what you asked to prepare before. Except for the three animals that need to be killed immediately, everything else has been prepared, and they are piled up in the main room. You can see if the talisman meets the requirements. If there is any problem, it is best to do it early. Plan." Grand-uncle Tai said, standing up,
Naturally, Lian Ge didn't object, and got up and walked towards the main room with his great-uncle.
……
As soon as you step into the main room, you will be greeted by a large number of things piled up in the corner of the main room, including paper money, incense, and other things.
"Xiao Ge, take a look." Grand Uncle stepped aside and said to Lian Ge,
Hearing this, Lian Ge stepped forward to glance, and at the same time stretched out his hand, rummaging from time to time,
"Scented wax money paper, etc., have been ordered at one store for so many years, Xiaoge, you said that you need paper money typed by hand, and that is the only store that has..."
While waiting for Lian Ge to confirm whether the items meet the requirements, the great uncle chattered.
Lian Ge, on the other hand, was looking at specific things purposefully while listening to his great-uncle's words.
After confirming that the most important things in it all met the requirements, Lian Ge stopped, retreated to the side of the great uncle, nodded to the great uncle,
"No problem at all."
"That's good."
The great uncle nodded when he heard the words, and then continued to ask,
"Then Xiaoge, see if there is anything else that needs to be arranged, so I can find someone to do it in advance."
"There are some things that need to be prepared in advance, but I can only do this." Lian Ge nodded first, then shook his head and said.
"Then I can only work hard on you, Xiao Ge." Uncle Tai nodded and said, "If you need help, Xiao Ge, just ask, this ancestor worship is a matter for the whole village, and everyone should contribute. "
"Uncle, there is something I need to confirm,"
"Did you arrange that before?"
"Correct."
Hearing this, Grand Uncle nodded, and then replied,
"You said earlier, Xiao Ge, that before the ancestor worship ceremony, people must be arranged to go to the ancestral hall to light a pair of candles and three sticks of incense every night, and it must be all night. From the beginning of the night, the incense cannot be broken, right?"
"Correct."
"After you told me that day, I asked your second uncle and the other three people to go to the ancestral hall to light incense candles that night, and then the four of them came in rotation at night to take a look every hour.
In the next few nights, the scented wax burned faster and faster, so I just added a few people, and a few people set up a tent in the ancestral hall, and kept watch all night. wax.
According to Xiao Ge, the scented wax has never been broken for so many nights. "
Uncle Tai said to Lian Ge.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded and said nothing more.
"It's just... Xiao Ge, the scented wax has been burning too fast these two days. Before, the wax could burn for one night, but now it can burn for an hour. The incense burns even faster... See if this is... "Grand Uncle raised his stick and pointed to the sky.
"I've heard from my second uncle about this matter." Lian Ge nodded, and then continued,
"Grand Uncle, you don't need to arrange for someone to light the scented wax tonight. I will go over to have a look in the evening."
"That's fine. Xiao Ge, please pay attention to your own safety." Grand Uncle nodded in response.
……
Time passes slowly,
After briefly checking the things prepared for the ancestor worship ceremony, Lian Ge and Grand Uncle walked out of the main room again and sat down at the stone table in the yard.
After conducting a detailed communication on various matters of the ancestor worship ceremony, and after confirming some matters,
Lian Ge stood up again,
"Great Uncle, it's getting late. I still need to go back and prepare something, so I won't stay any longer."
"Okay, come back another day when you're free,"
After Jane said goodbye, Lian Ge walked quickly along the road in the village towards his old house.
……
"Crunch... bang."
Pushing open the old courtyard door, after entering the courtyard, kicked it back again.
"Boom."
Putting down the bag containing the books on the table in the main room, Lian Ge took out his phone and glanced at the time,
"04:30 p.m...."
It is summer now, and the sunset time in the evening will be a little later, around 07:30.
Before sunset, Lian Ge needed to make some preparations.
In order to deal with what may appear in the shrine, and what needs to be done tonight.
"Three hours should be enough..."
"Judging from the fact that the thing hasn't shown any signs of harm after so many days, it's unlikely that it will harm anyone, but we still have to guard against it."
Lian Ge whispered something to himself, then moved quickly, first he took out a stack of yellow paper from the book bag,
This is left over from the previous draw.
Turning around again, he went to the old man's room and took out a writing brush and a bottle of ink.
Without using anything else, he dipped the pen into ink, carried the mana, condensed it on the tip of the pen, and began to draw talismans on the yellow paper.
"First of all, make a few ghost-expelling charms...the production difficulty is the lowest"
"...Then, I have to make a few probing talisman seals to confirm some things..."
"Finally, you can try to make an evil-killing talisman..."
In the main room, Lian Ge followed his previous plan and made talisman seals.
Outside the hall, the sky is gradually changing.
The setting sun, which is constantly slanting to the west, is constantly approaching the horizon.
at last,
The setting sun disappeared, only the sunset glow remained in the west of the whole sky, and the sky began to darken.
Inside the room, Lian Ge also paused, and put away the talismans made on the table.
Chapter 59 Ancestral Hall
He raised his head and looked at the darkened eyes, the sky that was about to fall at night.
After putting away the talismans made on the table, Lian Ge thought for a while, and then took out the pair of wax and three sticks of incense from the bag hanging at the door of the main room.
Holding the scented wax in his hand, after sweeping his eyes, Lian Ge didn't stay too long, and walked straight to the courtyard gate.
"crunch..."
The old courtyard door was pushed open, and then simply bolted.
Lian Ge then stepped out of the house and walked towards the ancestral hall.
……
The ancestral hall in Lianjia Village is not spacious and not exquisite. There are no carved dragons or phoenixes. There are only a few green-tiled houses covered with green bricks and covered with blue tiles, enshrining the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Lian family.
The location of the ancestral hall is not far from the old house of the Lian family. It is also located at the end of the village, standing on an open flat land.
Lian Ge, who was walking faster, stepped into the open ground where the ancestral hall was located after a few minutes.
Slightly stamped his feet, looked not far in front of him, it seemed to be hidden in the night, only a vague outline, and the ancestral hall that showed its existence with unburned candles,
Lian Ge didn't stop too much. While holding the scented wax in one hand, he also clenched the evil-killing talisman in his pocket with the other hand, moved away again, and stepped straight into the ancestral hall in front of him.
……
As Lian Ge approached, the ancestral hall hidden in the night appeared more and more clearly in sight.
The gate of the ancestral hall was not closed, but was wide open to the inside.
Looking across the front yard of the ancestral hall, in the blue-tiled house directly opposite, there is a tablet enshrining the ancestors of Lianjia Village. Under the tablet, there is a pair of wax erected.
"Da da……"
Passing through the courtyard gate, stepping into the ancestral hall, and stepping on the blue brick floor of the ancestral hall, the sound of footsteps sounded particularly harsh in this unusually quiet ancestral hall.
After scanning the dark front yard and noticing anything unusual, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the front, where the ancestral tablets of the Lian Family Village were enshrined.
The inside of the house was darker than the front yard of the ancestral hall,
The flickering candles on the wax flickered lightly, but they couldn't dispel the darkness in the whole room. They could only faintly illuminate the name engraved on the tablet behind him.
In addition to this ordinary scene, Lian Ge who opened the sky eye can see more,
The moment he stepped into the ancestral hall, Lian Ge saw the culprit that caused the incense to burn faster and faster.
A bloated figure floated above the candle flames of the pair of candles. From time to time, he turned over, glanced at the burning candle flames below him, then struggled again, and turned around again.
After a while, he turned over again, cast a salivating look at the candle under him, then seemed to think of something, and struggled to turn around again.
"... No, I can't eat any more... There is only a little left, and if you eat any more, it will be gone."
"...Hey, why haven't those people come here today...or just take a bite...well, just a small bite."
"Hey, Fatty Chen, Fatty Chen, you are so depraved, you can't resist the temptation with just a little candle! What about a mountain of fragrant wax..."
"...just a small bite, um, divide it into four bites, one bite every 10 minutes, you should be able to wait until those people come over...well, that's the decision."
"...Why does it seem like I ate too much? Forget it, I'm too lazy to score four times, so just eat it."
……
As the bloated figure floating above the candlelight turned over, he greedily sucked the scented wax beneath him.
The flames on the pair of scented wax were jumping, and the remaining wax was quickly consumed and melted.
Outside the house, Lian Ge, who was watching this scene, didn't make a sound, as if he had stepped into the house unknowingly.
"Hi...it's delicious."
"Well, someone came and brought scented wax, hahaha, sure enough, Fatty Chen, I am very lucky!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, why is this person still not moving?"
"Hey, hurry up the scented candle, the scented candle will be extinguished if you don't see it... Huh... Look, the candle has started to shake, you should hurry up!"
"...Why does it feel like he can see me... I move, I jump, I jump...Made, what the fuck, can he really see me?"
……
Walking into the house, and glanced at the plaques standing in front of Anran, Lian Ge turned his attention to the bloated figure on the candlelight, quietly watching him perform in front of him,
"Can you really see me?"
The bloated figure hesitated, walked up to Lian Ge,
Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help laughing, glanced at the bloated figure,
