chapter 14 ancestral hall

The Ye Family Ancestral Hall is a small courtyard in the center of the inner courtyard. The large room in the middle is dedicated to the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Ye family. The back room of the big room is like a showroom, with hangings of the glorious past. There are portraits and deeds of past ancestors, as well as family trees.

Adonis Kelly was not in a hurry to go to the ancestral hall, because Lander Kelly told him that he could go home and say goodbye to Shoshana Walsh before thinking about his past, and there were rules for thinking about his ancestors, and they couldn't be dirty, so every five days You can come out once, wash your hair, take a shower and have a good sleep.

Lander Kelly said that he was imprisoned by his father many years ago. The most difficult thing to endure was the night. It was eerie and scary, and there was no place to sleep, so he had to kneel. In addition, he was not allowed to leave Ye Mansion during the period of repentance. .

Adonis Kelly didn't care about these things. He had watched too many ghost movies. As long as there were no real ghosts, he was not afraid. As for being unable to leave the house, he had no intention of going out in the first place.

The only depressing thing is that it would be great if I could get the Immortal Cultivation Scripture.

However, Adonis Kelly did not mention the scriptures to Lander Kelly. He had already shown excessive attention to the treasure book just now. If he continued to stare and ask, others would be suspicious.

At that time, he would not be able to answer the simplest question: how do you recognize these square characters? Which book are you reading? Take it and read it. What she dreamed about in her dream was too ridiculous.

Okay, no matter what, just go back and say goodbye to my mother and think about it. As long as the book is at Ye's house, it will be easy and there is always a chance to get it.

Adonis Kelly thanked his elder brother, walked out of the inner courtyard quickly, returned to the small courtyard where he lived, and found that there was an uninvited guest here.

The visitor is the Vanessa. It is said that these ladies have never come here. Even if Shoshana Walsh is asked to do work, she would just send a maid to deliver it. Why did the Vanessa condescend to come here in person today?

Seeing Adonis Kelly return, the Vanessa naturally complimented Adonis Kelly falsely. Shoshana Walsh was already flattered. How could she see the Vanessa being so kind and cheerful on weekdays?

The Vanessa next words made Adonis Kelly understand the purpose of her visit. She was here to reveal the news, saying that if the Lupita hadn't stopped her before, Adonis Kelly would have gone to practice with the immortals by now.

I bet this woman was here specifically to stir up trouble. Although Adonis Kelly hated the Lupita for getting in the way, he didn't want to be used as a gunman by the Vanessa.

So Adonis Kelly told his mother to think about his faults with his ancestors, then took some thicker clothes and left his courtyard.

On the way to the Ye Family Ancestral Hall, Adonis Kelly found that the discussion behind him had changed again.

"Hey, you know, the immortals came to the Ye family today to recruit disciples. After a long time of selection, only one person has the qualifications to be an immortal."

"Who is so lucky?"

"Here"

"Ah, idiot, his mother is really lucky, but why didn't he go with the immortal?"

"Haha, you don't know this. Although he has qualifications, his qualifications are the most rubbish. They are so bad that even gods can't help but laugh. It's so embarrassing."

"That's right, rubbish is rubbish. He is just rubbish. He is even more embarrassed than someone without qualifications."

"Haha, who says it's not the case? Now I'm being punished to go to the ancestral hall to think about it."

"You call him an immortal. Sooner or later, I will slap your mouth."Adonis Kelly in his heart, turned around and sneered at the two families, and walked away leisurely, swinging his arms.

When he arrived at the Ye family ancestral hall, Adonis Kelly discovered a strange phenomenon. He saw many soldiers surrounding the ancestral hall, which looked heavily guarded. He didn't understand why the ancestral hall had to be guarded by so many soldiers. Could it be that someone came to steal the belongings of the Ye family's ancestors? The spiritual position failed

Although Adonis Kelly was surprised, he didn't ask. He walked over with the coat he wore at night. Just as he was about to enter, he saw Rafa Kelly striding out from inside.

Why did he come to see me to see if I was here? Adonis Kelly was confused for a moment, and quickly turned aside to make way.

Rafa Kelly was obviously still angry. He walked up to Adonis Kelly, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly.

If he's not here to find me, then what is he here for?

Adonis Kelly lowered his head, pondered, crossed the high threshold, and walked into the heavily guarded ancestral hall.

To say that this ancestral hall is different from other rooms, it is eerie and cold in broad daylight, and after entering the room, it feels like jumping into cold water.

"Is there really something wrong with her mother?"Adonis Kelly felt confused and depressed. There were so many people outside, why was there no one inside?

If it were on Earth, Adonis Kelly would definitely laugh three times, and he wouldn't be scared. But in this Cangnan mainland, it’s hard to say whether there are ghosts or not.

He walked in lightly and saw that in the center of the ancestral hall was a circle surrounded by white marble railings, and in the middle was a circle carved with white jade. How to describe it, it was somewhat similar to the Temple of Heaven in Yenching.

There are circles of railings on the outside, and a granary-shaped building in the middle. The difference is that in the middle of Yenching is the tall Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The Ye family's is a tower-like object carved in white jade, with numerous ancestral tablets of various sizes placed on it.

"This Ye family is really prosperous."Adonis Kelly was surprised to find that the spiritual throne tower was not all the Ye family's ancestors. Or celebrities and officials from the Ye family.

The memorial tablets of more branches of the Ye family are placed on the platform near the wall of the big room. The ones with the larger number are also densely packed with bright lights in the middle, which is really confusing.

Tall and solid walls, an eerie wind flowing in the empty space, no one in sight, but full of the souls of dead people, even Adonis Kelly, the bold king, couldn't help but feel horrified, and did not dare to breathe loudly. Walk slowly in with your heels

"Adonis Kelly."

"Oh my God!" A sudden sound from behind made Adonis Kelly tremble. He leaned against the wall and looked back, only to see an old man with a stern expression standing at the door of the ancestral hall.

"Oh, it's sir."Adonis Kelly found out that it was Levon Garcia and hurriedly greeted him, "Sir, come in and talk."

"No, Ye Family Ancestral Hall, it's not convenient for me as an outsider to enter."Levon Garcia still showed his expressionless face and said with a few books in his hands, "I heard that you have to face the wall, so I will give you a few books. .”

Although Levon Garcia face was expressionless and his tone was as calm as ever, Adonis Kelly felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you, sir."Adonis Kelly took the books and found that most of them were poems and songs, and there were also two books about strange objects and strange things among them.

Levon Garcia looked at Adonis Kelly, his eyes gradually softened, and said, "I just heard about you. Since you don't have good spiritual roots, you don't have to think about gods. You should just learn poetry with peace of mind."

Although Adonis Kelly didn't think so, he couldn't refute someone who really cared about him, so he nodded.

Probably sensing Adonis Kelly's thoughts, Levon Garcia suddenly waved his sleeves, reached out to touch Adonis Kelly's head, raised his head and sighed, "My child, it's not a bad thing to not cultivate immortality. Do you think human relationships in the mortal world are cruel? But in fact Among immortal cultivators, that is true cruelty. Killing for treasure, killing for fun, destroying the other party's sect just for a word, these are all normal. Slowly you will become cruel and ruthless. Some so-called treasures, morality, integrity, and even the lives of relatives can be ignored. Sir, I don’t want you to become such a person."

Adonis Kelly felt that Levon Garcia's words were very touching. He raised his head and asked, "Sir, why do you know so much about the affairs between immortal cultivators? Are you also an immortal?"

Levon Garcia shook his head, "Even if I had spiritual roots, I would not take this path."

It's obvious that Levon Garcia has a story, but if people don't want to tell it, there's nothing they can do about it.

Adonis Kelly said again, "Sir, no matter whether I am in the immortal world or the mortal world in the future, or whether I will ever succeed, I will never give up my persistence in good and evil, nor will I compromise with any force or power." inducement"

Levon Garcia, who had always had no expression on his face, actually smiled, touched Adonis Kelly's head and said with a smile, "Don't give up, don't compromise, good, good, good, you are a good boy."

"Hey, buddy, you're not a kid."

After Levon Garcia left, Adonis Kelly walked behind the ancestral hall with his book, found a place to lay down, placed it under the largest candle, and read to pass the time.

However, Adonis Kelly was really not interested in those poems, so he finally turned to the Spiritual Object Chronicles, which recorded the special names of many spiritual beasts and spiritual herbs. Of course, Adonis Kelly just thought it was fun, and he didn't expect it to be of much use. , because according to the records in the book, 90% of these spiritual beasts and spiritual plants are extinct.

As night passed, there were soldiers calling for dinner outside. You still had to eat in the ancestral hall, so you ate with the soldiers. To other young masters, the food here was a simple meal, but to Adonis Kelly, the food here was better than ordinary food. It's better to be at home.

"Why is this pork so fragrant? It tastes very strong,"Adonis Kelly asked as he chewed on a big bone.

The leader of the soldiers was a centurion named Cassius Angus and said with a smile, "childe Adonis, you don't know this. This is the meat of the iron-skinned bull. Don't look at the skin of the iron-skinned bull. It looks like iron on the outside. The meat is so fragrant."

"Oh, the iron-skinned bull, it's hard to hit, isn't it?"Adonis Kelly asked in surprise.

"Of course, this is a middle-grade spiritual beast."Cassius Angus said proudly, "If I hadn't happened to hit it when I came from the camp this time, you guys wouldn't have had a taste of it."

There is also a distinction between wild beasts in the Cangnan mainland. Generally speaking, pigs and sheep are considered poultry and domestic animals. Only wild beasts, or spiritual beasts, are divided into top-level, upper-level, middle-level, lower-level, and no-level. Each level is divided into top grade, top grade, medium grade, and low grade.

Generally speaking, non-level spiritual beasts refer to spiritual beasts that have not been cultivated. Just like humans, they have no spiritual roots and no innate magic.

But even without magic, these spiritual beasts are very powerful. Some have brute strength, some have poison, and some are big. In short, these spiritual beasts can be dealt with by ordinary people, but they are not easy to deal with.

As for the spiritual beasts with higher levels, they are not something that ordinary people can deal with. Immortal cultivators have to take action, but that kind of spiritual beasts will not appear on the streets, because they also practice cultivation and have to ascend. When they reach the upper level, they will open their spirits. If you are wise, you can turn into a human form when you reach the top level.

And this kind of iron-skinned bull is a non-level mid-level spiritual beast. It is probably not easy to think that this centurion can kill a non-level mid-level spiritual beast.

Adonis Kelly nodded and praised, "General Liu has superb martial arts skills, and we will also enjoy the food."

Cassius Angus felt happy to be called a general by Adonis Kelly. At this time, a soldier next to him laughed and said, "childe Adonis, don't listen to his bragging. That iron-skinned bull has such hard skin and big body. If he hadn't happened to meet him... The iron-skinned bull is seriously injured, even if General Ye leads his troops, he may not be able to deal with it."

Cassius Angus's face turned red and he said angrily, "Whether it's a serious injury or not, it's always because of me that you can taste the iron-clad bull today."

The soldier was not afraid of him and said, "There are still a few brothers who are injured."

Seeing their argument, Adonis Kelly quickly advised, "Who is that? Stop talking. No matter what, General Liu has improved the food for everyone. Haha, General Liu, don't be angry. That brother also feels sorry for the injured brother." , everyone should stop saying, ah, drink wine and eat meat.":
