"At the same time, the formed talisman can also absorb the incense that is being sacrificed in the village. While being blessed by the popularity of these [-] people, the incense is also strengthening its effect. Now the 'People's Formation' is estimated to come to another ten None of us can break through." Another official from the underworld also glanced at the top of his head and added a sentence.
"Let's go, continue to follow this team to patrol the mountain. Although there is a small possibility that ghosts can break through this formation, this is the first task assigned by the celestial master." Another official of the underworld looked back and said to The figure on the side said.
Hearing this, the government officials beside him also looked away and nodded.
After that, the figures of the two flashed, and continued to follow the mountain patroller, patrolling along the edge of the barrier.
……
time passed slowly,
From afternoon to evening, and from evening to night,
The four teams of patrolling people followed the route to complete the task of patrolling the mountain. Inside and outside the ancestral hall, burning incense and lighting candles continued.
As the scent of the scented wax became more pervasive, the barrier above the dome became stronger.
One night passed quietly like this.
Chapter 69 comes to an end
Lianjia Village, the old house of the Lianjia.
"Crunch... bang."
After pushing open the courtyard door and walking in, Lian Ge kicked him back again.
Pausing in the yard for a while, after glancing at the barrier above the dome above his head, Lian Ge walked straight into the main room.
"Snapped."
Turn on the light in the main room, and the light illuminates the whole house in an instant, and spills into the yard.
Lian Ge didn't go back to the bedroom, so he sat down in the main room.
Slightly scanning the inside and outside of the room, Lian Ge closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to transfer the mana in his body to practice.
……
In the house, it gradually became quieter.
Outside, the night is getting darker.
Throughout the night, people burned incense and lit candles at the ancestral hall, and people continued to patrol the mountains around the village.
Lian Ge didn't take a break either, but just meditated in the main room, so as not to be too late to react in case of unexpected accidents.
……
Finally, the night passed quietly under the interplay of the stars in the night and the candles on the ground.
When Lian Ge opened his eyes again from his practice, the sky had completely opened up.
Lian's old house, in the main room.
Lian Ge put down his crossed legs and stood up again, looked at the rising sun in the distance, with a slight smile on his face,
Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the courtyard door that was half-hidden, and said softly:
"come in."
After the words fell, the courtyard door that was ajar remained unchanged, but the two black mist lingered directly through the door and entered, turning into two figures again in the courtyard.
"Meet the Celestial Master."
The two civil servants of the underworld bowed respectfully.
Lian Ge nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the next room, and took out the toiletries.
After squeezing the toothpaste and carrying a water glass, Lian Ge returned to the yard,
"Did something happen last night?"
Lian Ge asked while rinsing his mouth and brushing his teeth.
"Master Tianshi, your arrangement is thorough and perfect. Although two little ghosts tried to invade the village last night to plunder incense, they were directly blocked outside the village by the barrier arranged by you, Master Tianshi. Before dawn, the two The little ghost left." One of the government officials of the underworld said with a look of reverence.
"Excuse me, both of you." Lian Ge nodded and said.
"Don't dare, we didn't do anything." The two civil servants of the underworld bowed at the same time.
"Gululu...poof."
After Lian Ge finally rinsed his mouth, he turned around and looked at the two ghosts again.
"However, I'm afraid I need to trouble you for two more days."
"But sent by the celestial master."
"It's still the same as last night. In the next few nights, you two will work hard."
"Don't dare to say hard work, it is our honor to be able to serve the Celestial Master."
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded and didn't say anything else.
And the two ghost messengers also bid farewell at the right time,
"Teacher that day, we will not bother you."
"Row."
After the voice fell, just like when they came, the two government officials from the underworld turned into black mist and disappeared in the courtyard.
After looking at the door that was still ajar, and then looking up at the rising sun in the east, and the ashes of paper money rising in the direction of the ancestral hall in the distance, and the diffuse incense smoke, Lian Ge then looked away.
Turned around and stepped into the main room again.
……
The sun rises and the sun sets, the clouds gather and disperse,
Time passes day by day.
Under the double protection of the "People's Front" and ghost messengers, the several-day ancestor worship ceremony in Lianjia Village was carried out in an orderly manner.
Although there are ghosts who can't resist the temptation of food every night and try to break through the barrier of Lianjia Village, but as the barrier becomes stronger day by day, it becomes more difficult to shake it at all.
As for Lian Ge, except for going to the ancestral hall to preside over the main ceremony of the ancestor worship ceremony on the first day, he didn't step out of the old house much in the next few days.
Basically maintain the state of practicing at night while preparing for emergencies, and sleeping during the day.
And with the smell of burning incense paper money permeating the village,
Finally, another three days passed, and the ancestor worship ceremony in Lianjia Village came to an end.
……
It was the day, early in the morning, Lian Ge, who hadn't slept all night, ended his practice and regained his mind.
Standing up again, and walking under the eaves of the hall, Lian Ge looked up at the sky above Lianjia Village, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling at the seal script that had become clearer in the eyes of the sky.
In fact, Lian Ge knew very well that he was a little too cautious about the possible threats caused by ancestor worship.
Although according to "Mysterious Common Sense", during the Hungry Ghost Festival, the gates of hell and ghosts are indeed opened, but only ordinary ghosts who have no injustice and debts, and no resentment or hostility will be released.
And because the birth rate is greater than the death rate in recent years, there are not many ghosts lingering in Fengdu.
In addition, there are not many ghosts that can be released during the Ghost Festival.
Still, prudence is a good quality most of the time.
"Although some chickens are killed with a sledgehammer, at least this ancestor worship ceremony is safe and secure."
A smile appeared on his face, and after whispering something to himself, Lian Ge looked away again.
Looking down at the wrinkled clothes,
"When can this practice replace sleep...or sleep can replace practice."
Thinking about it, Lian Ge couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, patted his clothes,
Lian Ge didn't go back to the bedroom to rest as he did a few days ago, so Lian Ge walked straight towards the open courtyard door.
"crunch..."
The old courtyard door was directly opened, and Lian Ge stepped out of the courtyard.
"Let's go, I'll take you two out."
Lian Ge paused slightly, and said softly.
Then, two government officials in black suits appeared beside Lian Ge.
"Please trouble the Heavenly Master." One of the ghost messengers said respectfully.
"I should be the one who troubled you." Lian Ge turned his head, glanced at the two ghosts, shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for helping me these few days."
"Don't dare. As officials of the underworld, it is our duty to prevent ghosts from harming people. It is an honor for us to be able to work for the Celestial Master." The same ghost who answered before replied more respectfully.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded first, and then looked at the two ghost messengers. He found that the person who answered these days was that ghost messenger.
"I haven't asked you before, what are your two surnames?"
"I don't dare to let the celestial master talk about you, my name is Zheng Cheng, and this is my colleague, Zhao Hu." The ghost messenger Zheng Cheng replied a little excitedly.
"Zheng Cheng, Zhao Hu, um... I remember." Lian Ge looked at the two ghosts, nodded and said.
"Thank you Heavenly Master!" Ghost messengers Zheng Cheng and Zhao Hu suddenly seemed a little flattered, and bowed excitedly.
Hearing this, Lian Ge just shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Turning around, Lian Ge followed the village road and walked towards the entrance of the village.
"Let's go to the entrance of the village."
Ghost messenger Zheng Cheng and Zhao Hu also followed, walking behind Lian Ge on both sides.
……
After a while, Lian Ge led the two ghosts to the barrier at the entrance of the village without haste.
He paused again, looked at the barrier in front of him,
"Decree, open!"
With a pinch on his hand and a flick of his fingers, the barrier at the entrance of the village immediately melted away.
"Okay, you guys go out." Lian Ge said directly without looking back as he looked at the tunnel that opened in front of him.
"Teacher that day, we will take our leave."
The two ghosts didn't talk too much, they escaped from the barrier after speaking, and after bowing to Lian Ge outside the barrier, they disappeared in a flash.
Seeing that the ghost disappeared from sight, Lian Ge withdrew his hand,
Immediately, the exit of the barrier that melted was closed again.
Turning around, Lian Ge slightly stamped his feet, and looked in the direction of the ancestral hall in the distance.
At this moment, the lingering incense smoke above the ancestral hall has gradually faded away, and the ashes of the floating paper money have already settled.
Then, the several days of ancestor worship ceremony, after several days of hustle and bustle, finally came to an end on the morning of the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month.
Chapter 70
Lianjia Village,
With the end of the ancestor worship ceremony, the hustle and bustle inside and outside the ancestral hall gradually subsided, and the scent of incense candles was slowly dissipated by the wind.
The entire Lianjia Village gradually regained its tranquility.
is the day,
After sending the two ghost messengers out of Lian's Village, Lian Ge went straight back to the old house to rest.
Maybe it was because he was too tired these days, or maybe he finally relaxed his mind. When Lian Ge woke up again, it was already evening.
"Buzz...buzz..."
In the old house of the Lian family, on the bed in the bedroom, Lian Ge was awakened by the vibrating sound of the mobile phone.
