Feng Ao didn't know how much sacrifice his precious apprentice had made in order to cover up his whereabouts. If he knew that Zheng Youting's voice was overheard by Renlou's family, he would silence these guys first!
At this time, he was passing through the disciples of the Lou family who were in the handle of the ancestral hall, and entered the ancestral hall.
Turning over from the beam, he landed silently like a cat's paw.
Feng Ao looked up, and saw that there was not a trace of dust brought down by him on the beams of the house, and the traces of lacquer embroidery were still very new, and it was just renovated and repaired not long ago.
Looking at the clean and tidy appearance of the ancestral hall, the Lou family attaches great importance to the ancestral hall.
Candles were lit in the ancestral hall, and there was no trace of modern electric wires and light bulbs. It might be a bad thing for the shadows to be reflected on the windows. Feng Ao hid behind the pillars, carefully avoiding the movement of the crowd.
He didn't pay much attention to the ranking of enshrined in the ancestral hall. For thousands of years, there are thousands of tablets for the elders of the Lou family's ancestral hall, which are placed in layers of different heights, densely packed.The smoke of incense candles is lingering, and the room is filled with the smell of sandalwood. When ordinary people see so many memorial tablets and candles offering melons and fruits at first glance, they may not think that the family's incense has a long history and profound heritage, but will be frightened by the eerieness.
To Feng Ao's slight surprise, whether it was the ancient ancestors or the dead of the previous generation, the words on the tablets were all written in the characters of his time.
The highest wooden sign is written with the year of Renwu. According to the calculation of the time on the tablet, the oldest one is actually about 500 years ago, which is about the Tang Dynasty recorded in the modern history books.
It was a prosperous era in the history of China, what caused the Feng family to be divided into two, Feng Ao didn't know.
The purpose of his trip is naturally not for these rankings.
Turning around a few times, Feng Ao stood behind the queue and looked at the layout of the entire ancestral hall. He didn't know if there were organs installed in the ancestral hall, so he was extra careful.
The Lou family established itself, but he believed that the Lou family and the Duan family would never erase the traces of the Feng family.Otherwise, they wouldn't be so interested in him, and they wouldn't keep the ancient architecture and culture so intact, and live by the ancient teachings strictly.
Feng Ao judged that the Lou family's ancestral hall should have been built very large from the beginning, and it has not been expanded in recent years.
Because the formation in the ancestral hall is very complete, it is all from the handwriting of one person, and there is no trace of modification or addition at all.
Feng Ao will deduce it in detail. What is certain is that the person who set up the formation in the ancestral hall is not Feng Ziqi. Although there are some traces of Feng Ziqi, he may be his disciple and grandson.One thing that is certain is that this person's formation skills are also very high, above Feng Ao's Taoism.
After standing motionless for half an hour, Feng Ao finally moved.
Feng Ao walked in the ancestral hall as if he was drunk. If he hadn't moved so fast, he would have looked like he was punching a drunken fist. His steps were chaotic as if there were no rules at all.
But when he stood still in a certain place, a miracle happened.
Candles were brightly lit, and Feng Ao disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Such a supernatural event happened in such a spooky ancestral hall. If someone saw it, the unfortunate guy would definitely think he saw a ghost.
But in fact, the eye is connected to a mysterious mechanism, which is triggered sequentially through the strength of the steps to activate the checkpoint.
The place where Feng Ao was standing was suddenly emptied, and his whole body fell instantly. Feng Ao fell into the cave within a short time of breathing.
Feng Ao was also caught off guard, but he was only surprised for a moment, and quickly stabilized his body, falling rapidly in the dark passageway, the height was more than ten floors high, after seeing the faintly bright lights, Feng Ao calculated the time, probably It took three breaths to reach the ground.
If someone accidentally fell down, they would have been smashed to pieces.
Feng Ao landed on the ground smoothly, but when he raised his head, his breath suddenly stopped!Suddenly, the internal force gathers in the palm of the hand and is about to attack!
—He dropped his hands defensively.
Staring at the people who looked at him with open eyes, he counted at a glance, there were 27 men in their prime.The other party's eyes were fierce, not to mention the aura exuding from their bodies, but just their expressions, with dozens of pairs of eyes fixed on Feng Ao's direction, it looked very frightening, and it would make anyone who saw it look at each other a nightmare all day long .But the strange thing is that they didn't attack or ask the intruders aloud.
Feng Ao calmed down and observed carefully. He didn't feel the breathing and breath of these people, so he was sure that these people with angry faces were actually just wax figurines.It was only because the candlelight was weak and so realistic that it surprised him for a while.
After confirming this point, Feng Ao didn't dare to act rashly.
These figurines will not appear here for no reason, and the clothes on them are old, but they are not products of the same era.Although he doesn't know much about costumes in modern history, the last time he and Zheng Youting watched the film produced by the film and television city, it was taken from the background of the ancient Song Dynasty.A figurine not far from him was dressed in a similar outfit to the subordinates in the film.
These people are placed here, apart from the people who are buried in the underground mourning hall with figurines, they will also set up formations and organs to make the best use of them.
Feng Ao observed carefully, and found that it took longer than breaking through the formation mechanism in the ancestral hall above, and then he frowned tightly.
To walk through this formation safely, it actually requires three bows and nine knocks!
It seems...the ones enshrined here are the supreme ancestors of the Lou family.
Feng Ao closed his eyes and thought for a while, but decided to obey obediently.
He is not obsessed with kneeling and not kneeling, just a few prostrations, the situation requires nothing to worry about, of course, it is more important to pass the test safely and find out what is true inside.
Feng Ao knelt down, prostrating in a very proper posture.
One bow at a time, one bow and three kowtows.
His forehead hit the ground with a crisp sound.If it weren't for the future, the kowtow is powerful, and the mechanism here will change.
While doing this, Feng Ao thought to himself: If this person is really a descendant of the Feng family, and won his worship, I don't know if reincarnation will shorten his life.
At the last bow and kowtow, before Feng Ao got up, he heard the sound of the stone statue moving behind him.He held his breath and was vigilant, and only turned to look back when he heard the voice behind him stop.
Seeing this, he was surprised again.
The expressions on the faces of those wax figurines have completely changed, from the original glaring and solemn, to the kind and kind smiling faces at the moment.
The expression was so realistic that he didn't even miss the smile lines at the corners of his eyes.
The seemingly amiable elders looked at the younger generation with satisfaction, but in such a dimly lit place, it was really frightening. Those who were a little bit weaker, after the angry face just now, saw this look. Smiling faces are really likely to scare people out of their wits.
Twenty-seven people glaring at you might be scary, but there's nothing more creepy and spine-chilling than 27 people giving you a Buddha-like smile of compassion.
Feng Ao was surprised by the changes in these expressions. If he hadn't listened attentively to these figurines but turned them 180 degrees just now, he might think that these figurines were originally two-faced figurines with one side angry and one side happy.This kind of figurine is not difficult to make, but obviously it is not.What method was used to change the facial expressions of the figurines so vividly?
Feng Ao didn't think about why, so he simply gave up and turned to look at the things enshrined by Lou's family in front of him.
After just having a face-to-face meeting, Feng Ao's facial muscles couldn't help but stiffen.
I can't tell whether it was surprise or something else, anyway, Feng Ao was really taken aback when he saw the eye-catching portrait in front of him.
The astonishment of decades in his life will be used up in this night.
What made Feng Ao faintly lose control?
I saw a grown man painted on the portrait of the same height as a person.
The man's face was like peaches and plums, with phoenix eyes and a smile. He was well-armed but his black hair was long and loose and tied in a knot at the tail. He leaned against the bodhi tree with his legs folded. offend.
This person with a harmless smile and a bit of gentleness is Feng Ao.
It's not the current him, but the previous life, Feng Ao, the leader of the demon sect who wanted to do martial arts.
He is a person who is good at forgetting, and he is not a generation of nostalgic people. He has always been free and easy.In the present world, he is busy creating his own new world. Even if he occasionally misses the life of his brothers and the magic palace in the past, he rarely thinks about himself, let alone recalls his appearance at that time.
At first sight of this portrait, Feng Ao was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing it.
It turned out that it was me.
He didn't know why he gave a wry smile, and turned his head to look at others.It was found that there were fifteen paintings enshrined in the room. Next to his portrait, a portrait that was one-third smaller also showed a person.
Yes, the confinement period.
It is clear that when he died, he should have been less than fifty years old, but his head was covered with hoarfrost, like a 80-[-]-year-old old man.
In addition to these two figure paintings, the remaining ten or so paintings are some calligraphy or landscape paintings.One of them looks like a miniature version of the ancient map of Yancheng.
Feng Ao sat cross-legged, looking up at the enshrined paintings.
There are no rankings in the room, no candles, melons and fruits, and no futons.
It looks simple, but looking at the people behind them, you can know how much the Lou family attaches importance to this place.And the identities represented by these figurines are probably not low.
Thinking about it, Feng Ao couldn't help but glance back, but this time he saw the expression changes on the faces of these figurines with his own eyes!
During that time, their faces seemed to be alive, they slowly relaxed, the corners of their mouths straightened, their eyes widened, from a kind expression to a peaceful expression, which was gradually adjusted to a unified look of reverence.
Like a slow-motion adjustment of a dull-looking person.
Feng Ao watched for a long while, but couldn't see what was manipulating the expressions of these figurines.
He shook his head with a grin, turned his head to look at his portrait, and then looked at Feng Ziqi next to "him".
After the silence, he chuckled and regretted, "Unfortunately, I didn't bring any wine."
He is a good drinker, so naturally he has a lot of people who can drink. Feng Ziqi has been with him for two years, and he grew up in the magic palace. It's hard to say whether he likes wine or not, but his drinking capacity varies .
Feng Ao looked up, and after a while, he got up.
"Next time, have a drink with me."
He whispered, feeling lost.
According to the sacrificial etiquette in his previous life, Feng Ao bowed back reverently, straight back to the place where he was standing when he got down just now, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The figurines moved again, and when Feng Ao raised his head, they turned into smiling faces again, as if watching his son leave.
Feng Ao got up, and an arched door behind him opened slowly and automatically, revealing the brightly lit ascending stairs.
Feng Ao stepped into the door without hesitation, the way he came was obviously not suitable for returning the same way.
Before the stone door was slowly closed, Feng Ao turned his head for one last look, and the expressions of those figurines slowly changed into serious and angry expressions again.
