Chapter 65

The eve before the ancestor worship ceremony.

The afterglow of the evening was silent, and the night gradually fell.

With the efforts of the great uncle, the second uncle and others, the hundred and eight people patrolling the mountain were assembled in front of the courtyard of the great uncle's house.

"Look carefully, and take a picture if you have a mobile phone."

"Are there any questions about the respective routes?"

"No problem...we all know these roads."

The eight people who were selected looked at the sketches carefully, took another picture with their mobile phones, and nodded in agreement.

"The route must be kept in mind, and you must not forget what you said before. There will be eight of you in a while, and every two people will be in charge of a team. One person will go to the front, and one person will go to the end. Maybe you can't make people fall behind!"

Uncle Tai slammed the ground with his cane, looked at them seriously and said,

"Remember?"

"Remember, old village chief...uncle." The eight of them also nodded solemnly.

Hearing this, Grand Uncle looked at the eight people again, then nodded and said,

"Okay, you go and separate the people out. After dividing into four teams, I will say a few words to everyone."

……

The voice fell, and the eight people followed the previous distribution, two by two, and began to divide the remaining people into four teams.

After some noisy process, the four mountain patrol teams were divided and stood in four rows in front of the courtyard.

Grand Uncle then stepped forward, and everyone fell silent immediately.

"...I have told you just now that I called you here today to worship the ancestors, and to be more specific, it is to patrol the mountains.

During this process, there are a few points that you must remember. Have you seen the talisman in your hand?This is related to the safety of your wife and children in the village, and even more so, your own safety, so whatever you throw away, you can't give me this talisman!

If this talisman disappears or breaks during the mountain patrol, you must immediately warn the people in your team to surround you...

These are the exact words of that boy Lian Ge. "

Great Uncle raised his voice and shouted,

Under the influence of Grand Uncle and Lian Ge's prestige, everyone became more serious, and unconsciously glanced at the talisman in their hands,

"Also, if there is nothing wrong with the talisman seal, remember when you are patrolling the mountain. You are not allowed to turn back, and you are not allowed to turn back. Before dawn, the mountain patrol will not be able to stop. Do you understand?"

"Understood...Understood...Great Uncle..."

The answers were uneven, but everyone had serious expressions, aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Okay, the leader of the team will take your team to the designated location and start patrolling the mountain. The rest of the team will follow the person in front of you and don't fall behind!"

Uncle Tai waved his cane, looked at the crowd and said.

Then,

The four teams, led by the leader of each team, set off with a torch in one hand and a talisman in the other.

Uncle Tai stood there with a cane, watching the four teams rush out and go away, completely submerged in the night, and turned into a little bit of fire, and then looked away.

……

After a while, the four teams held torches and arrived at Lianjia Village and the designated positions on the hills beside the village.

On the torches held by more than a hundred people, the burning and dancing flames are clearly visible in the dark night, dotted on the nearby or distant hills.

……

"Everyone cheer up and start patrolling the mountain!"

At a place on the mountainside at the end of the village, the team led by Uncle Lian arrived at the designated location.

There was a slight pause, and when Uncle Lian confirmed the route again, the team consisting of a total of 27 people surged again.

"Crack...crack."

More than [-] people stepped on the hill, and the sound of footsteps and crushing dead wood and dead branches sounded from time to time.

"Pay attention to your feet, follow the steps of the person in front, don't step on the ground..."

Second Uncle Lian, who was in the lead from time to time, would give a reminder, and the sound resounded and echoed throughout the night.

As time passed slowly, the team led by the second uncle of the Lian family continued to move forward along the established route,

The other three teams also followed their respective routes and completed the mountain patrol route.

Looking towards the four hills from the village, only some flowing flames can be seen.

And this bit of fire accompanied the movement of their respective teams, drawing winding tracks around the village, as if they were outlining something.

Looking down from the entire Lianjia Village, this trace is even more obvious.

at last,

After the four teams passed by one after another,

The traces outlined by the four flames are bordered by four points. Looking down from the air, the winding trajectory outlined by the four flames before now forms a complete seal script, which is engraved on the ground of Lianjia Village.

……

At the same time, on the mountainside, the team of Second Uncle Lian, who had just passed by another team, was walking forward.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whizzed by, causing the flames on the torches held by the crowd to flicker rapidly, almost extinguishing.

"Second Uncle Lian... what's wrong, this is..."

The sudden strange wind made the team a little turbulent, and the pace of march was affected.

"Don't panic, hold the talisman in your hand tightly, and keep going as long as the talisman is not lost!"

This strange wind made Second Uncle Lian feel a little nervous, but he still shouted loudly, and then led the crowd to continue walking forward.

Perhaps it was the calmness shown by the second uncle of the Lian family that affected the rest of the team, or it was the wind that made everyone dare not stay for a long time.

Everyone followed Uncle Lian and walked forward quickly.

And maybe this wind is really an accidental mountain wind. As soon as everyone stepped out of that area, the whistling wind disappeared.

……

At the same time, the same thing happened in several other places at the moment when the seal characters outlined by the flames took shape.

But under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they all survived without any danger.

……

After the seal script was completely formed once, on the hill, the four teams patrolling the mountain following the established route did not stop walking, circling over and over again, repeating their respective routes.

As teams repeatedly passed by on the hill, the seal character was also fully outlined repeatedly.

at the same time,

In the screen that ordinary people can't see,

Wisps of popularity slowly overflowed from the mountain patrol team, and the remnants condensed on the established route that the team walked, and with each complete formation of seal script, it spread to the entire Lianjia Village, gradually covering the entire Lianjia Village .

……

Time passed slowly.

Finally, as the night fell, the bright moon slanted away, and the stars disappeared, and the night passed quietly.

……

On the hill, after the sky was completely brightened, the four teams stopped one after another.

On the mountainside at the end of the village, Second Uncle Lian, who had just led the team back to the origin, looked at his hands and feet, slightly puzzled,

I didn't feel it at night before, but now that it's dawn and I relax, I suddenly realize that after walking all night last night, I'm not tired at all.

Glancing at the rest of the crowd, seeing that they seemed to be in high spirits, Second Uncle Lian couldn't help picking up the talisman in his hand and looking at it.

"It should be the function of this talisman seal..." Second Uncle Lian gently wiped the talisman paper that showed silk, and couldn't help talking to himself.

"Second Uncle Lian, shall we go back now?"

Beside, another person asked aloud.

"Let's go, go back." Second Uncle Lian put down his hand, looked away, and said to everyone,

"After going back, put away the talisman papers and rest well. We won't go to the ancestor worship ceremony, and we have to continue patrolling the mountain tonight."

"Second Uncle Lian, we will collect the talisman papers. If you ask me to throw away such a godly thing, I don't want to throw it away. I don't need it just to rest. I don't feel tired at all now. The ancestor worship ceremony hosted by Master Lian , I still want to see it.”

"That's right, Master Lian hosted it... How can I miss it..."

Uncle Lian hesitated for a while when he heard the words, then nodded,

"It's fine, but remember, if you get sleepy for a while, remember to go to bed. There is no time for you to sleep again tonight."

Chapter 66

It is day, morning.

Lian Ge, who had slept all night, woke up from his sleep.

After waking up, Lian Ge didn't stay on the bed too much, sat up and left the bed.

After a while,

Outside the main room, under the eaves of the courtyard, Lian Ge was brushing his teeth while staring at the entire sky above his head with his heavenly eyes.

"Gulu Gulu...poof."

Spitting out the toothpaste-washed water on the side of the yard, Lian Ge looked at the sky above Lianjia Village with a smile on his face.

"Using people as brushes, air as ink, and ground as paper, this talisman seems to be well drawn."

Looking at the barrier covering the entire Lianjia Village, Lian Ge smiled and muttered to himself.

After turning around and putting the mouthwash cup and toothbrush back to the original place, Lian Ge returned to the main room.

He got himself a glass of water next to the main room, and after sitting down again at the table in the main room with the glass in hand, Lian Ge looked towards the courtyard door outside the main room.

"come in."

Lian Ge glanced at the gate of the courtyard and said calmly.

After the words fell, two streams of black mist lingered and entered through the courtyard door, re-morphing into two people in black formal suits at the courtyard door.

"Master of Heaven..."

The two officials of the local government bowed to Lian Ge respectfully.

"Are you from the Exit-Entry Administration of the Underworld?" Lian Ge glanced at the two ghosts and asked.

"Yes, Tianshi, we are civil servants under the jurisdiction of the Exit-Entry Administration of the Underworld." One of them replied aloud, and then took the initiative to explain,

"Earlier Master, you gave a ghost hand letter and asked me to deal with it leniently. Now that the ghost has entered the underworld, I have come to report to you, Heavenly Master."

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the two ghosts and almost nodded, indicating that he understood.

Immediately afterwards, Lian Ge raised his head again, glanced at the barrier covering Lianjia Village, and asked the two ghosts,

"When did you come here?"

"Yesterday evening, we arrived outside your mansion after you rested, Tianshi. We didn't dare to disturb you when we saw that you had already rested, Tianshi."

The ghost who made the sound before answered, then hesitated, and added a little embarrassingly,

"It's just that we can't get out now..."

Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile,

I can only feel that the difference between these two ghosts is too coincidental.

but……

Lian Ge looked at the two ghosts, smiled, and suddenly had a different idea.

"I'm really sorry, the village is preparing to worship ancestors during the Ghost Festival, so we have to take some precautions."
