Chapter 51: Fantasy Heart Cave
"Come on, follow me to meet the ancestors."
The old man said something and turned to walk towards the row of houses. Ancestor? Didn't they say there were only five people on the entire mountain? I turned around and looked at Lu Xiaofeng curiously.
"According to the rules of the Imperial God Sect, new disciples need to go to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the spirits of their ancestors."
The girl smiled, but her smile was a little sinister, as if she wanted to see me suffer. Damn, what the hell is going on again?
The spirit tablets are just to burn incense and kowtow to the ancestors who have long passed away. Is there anything else you can do with this?
I hurriedly ran to catch up with the old man. In the middle of the top of this row of fan-shaped houses, there is a passage leading to the back, and above the passage is also a gatehouse building, which is connected to the tops of the houses on both sides.
After passing through this passage, we walked into a bamboo forest. The bamboos were very tall, and the bamboo leaves were rustling and making slight noises. A winding path passed through the forest.
A few minutes later, I followed the old man and stopped in front of a mountain wall. The mountain wall was very wide, probably more than ten stories high, and dozens of meters wide on both sides.
The old man stepped forward and got close to the mountain wall. He formed a seal with both hands and hit the mountain wall. The mountain wall, which seemed to be integrated, suddenly shook. Several cracks appeared on it, and then the cracks connected into one, as if an area was cut out on the mountain wall.
The old man stretched out his hand and pressed it against the mountain wall in this area, and the area shrank inward, revealing a passage.
I don't understand why they make it so complicated. Wouldn't it be easier just to build a house and install a door? That's so simple.
"This is the Illusionary Heart Cave. Only by passing through here can you reach the ancestral hall. You have to be careful. There is a Heart Demon Formation engraved in the Illusionary Heart Cave, which will draw out your inner demons. You have to keep your original heart and strengthen your will to pass through the Illusionary Heart Cave."
Damn, I know why that girl Lu Xiaofeng smiled so sinisterly, she really has some tricks. Although I don't know what the inner demon is, I'm sure it's not a good thing.
"Uncle Master, is this cave dangerous?"
“Wealth and honor are found in danger.”
My eyes lit up. Wealth? I like this. It seems that I have to enter this cave today, but for the sake of wealth, I have to fight.
"Uncle Master, aren't you going in?"
The old man took a few steps back, and I asked curiously. He smiled and said, "After you go in, if you can pass through the Illusionary Heart Cave, you will be able to see the ancestors, and you will naturally know what to do next."
I was a little scared. What do you mean I can see the ancestors? Didn't they all die long ago? The old man was talking nonsense, more like a charlatan than the old master.
I curled my lips and said, "Then I'll go in."
As I said this, I raised my head and stepped into this illusionary cave. As I stepped in, the light around me suddenly dimmed. My heart tightened and I instinctively took two steps back, but it was still dark. I quickly turned around and my heart tightened again.
The entrance is gone!
"boom!"
Suddenly, a roar sounded in the cave. My nerves tensed up and I turned my body to the side and stared at the depths of the cave. What the hell should I do? After hesitating for several minutes, I decided: I had to bite the bullet!
I took a step forward cautiously, and then took another step forward after making sure there was nothing unusual. However, as soon as I took this step, I suddenly felt my feet lighten, as if I was stepping on cotton. I was about to lower my head to check the situation when my body suddenly leaned forward uncontrollably and I fell to the ground.
I fell down, but I didn't feel the ground, but it was like I fell into an endless abyss. My body kept falling, as if there was no bottom. I wanted to struggle, but my body was out of control. I don't know how long it took, but my whole body suddenly shook, and the feeling of falling finally disappeared, and light appeared around me.
"He has a handle, it's a handle, haha, it's a handle!"
The scene in front of me suddenly lit up, a young man was holding a little baby in his arms and laughing. The young man's face looked familiar, and the baby in his arms seemed to be a newborn baby. I looked around, it was a small yard, with a jujube tree in the yard, full of big red dates.
Such a familiar face, such a familiar courtyard, such a familiar jujube tree.
my home!
I quickly turned around and looked at the smiling young man. This was my father, my father when he was young, and the baby in his arms should be me. This is our small yard, and there is a jujube tree that is more than ten years old.
"That's not right, why isn't the little guy crying?"
Dad suddenly said in surprise. I was also startled, and quickly looked into his arms. Sure enough, the little one was squinting his eyes blankly, as if he hadn't opened his eyes, not crying or making a fuss, which was indeed inconsistent with the behavior of a newborn baby.
"let me see."
A middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties came out of the house. It was my grandmother. My grandmother was so healthy and young more than 20 years ago. My grandmother is almost 70 years old now. As long as I can remember, her health seems to have been not very good.
Seeing grandma coming over, dad quickly handed the doll to her. Grandma carefully took it and then frowned, and the frown became tighter and tighter. Suddenly, she said to dad, "Go see Xuelan."
Xue Lan is my mother’s name. Her surname is Jiang, the same as Jiang Ziya.
Dad looked worried, glanced at the kid, but nodded and walked into the house. Grandma turned her head to look inside the house, then turned back and looked down at the kid in her arms.
"Born on the Ghost Festival, a little ghost reincarnated, born with a yin-yang fate, alas."
Grandma suddenly whispered something. I was shocked. How could grandma know all this? Could it be that grandma was also a person in this field and knew magic?
Grandma held the baby in her left hand, and suddenly made a seal with her right hand. The speed was so fast that it felt like several phantoms crossed each other. At the same time, she whispered something, which should be a spell. Ha, it turns out that grandma is not only a practitioner of this art, but also a master.
After making the seal and chanting the incantation, grandma placed her right palm on my heart. A layer of light blue light emanated from under her palm, which slowly spread out and eventually enveloped the entire body of the little doll. Then the light gradually shrank inwards and penetrated into the little doll's body.
"Woooooa ...
When the light completely merged into the baby's body, the baby finally cried out. Grandma's body staggered slightly, and she leaned against the door with her right hand, and almost fell down.
"Is the little one crying?"
Dad ran out from the inner room and shouted in surprise. Grandma took a breath, handed the baby over, and said with a smile: "The little guy is very healthy, but little boys are very naughty, you have to watch him carefully in the future."
Dad nodded in response, a happy smile on his face.
"By the way, have you named the little one yet?"
"Xue Lan and I have already discussed it. If it's a boy, we'll name him Ye Yun, and if it's a girl, we'll name her Ye Yun."
Grandma was slightly stunned, then shook her head slightly.
