Chapter 69: Great Changes after the Thunder
The weather in July is not like the weather in June. A child's face changes at any time. When the Qinghe Cui family came to propose marriage in the morning, the sky was clear without a cloud. The morning weather forecast also said that the weather would be good today. Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui even checked the almanac for today, as it was a good day for marriages and funerals.
Apart from the above conditions, where did this sudden lightning come from?
God has a cold and suddenly sneezes?
After the five thunders fell, there was silence in the main hall. Then footsteps were heard outside. The people from the Li family ran over in panic, completely ignoring the solemn atmosphere in the room and shouted.
"Chief, the thunder just now created a hole in our ancestral temple, and several ancestral tablets were broken..."
"Swish" at least a dozen eyes in the main hall suddenly gathered on Wang Jingzhe, especially Li Lanrong, Mao Qingshui, as well as Uncle Li and several elders from the Li family. They all had angry faces and their bodies were shaking with anger.
There is no doubt that the lightning strike must be related to Wang Jingzhe. Everyone saw the playful smile on his face.
The ancestral tablets are the glory of some large families that have lasted for thousands of years. Especially for the Li family, there are several tablets of great figures who once resounded in history, such as the great-grandfather.
Those who can sit in the house are naturally not ordinary people outside who do not believe in ghosts and gods. Everyone knows more or less that in this world, besides humans and animals, there are many things that ordinary people do not know.
For example, Nan Kunlun is in charge of Feng Shui, and they know very well that Feng Shui is indispensable in this 9.6 million square kilometers, no matter where you are.
For example, Tiandao Peak in Fanjing Mountain is known as the Taoist library, with countless Taoist scriptures. Naturally, people know that demons, ghosts, monsters and goblins are not fabricated.
For example, both the Cui and Li families have a history of thousands of years, and there are many ancient books preserved in their homes.
Therefore, everyone knew that the thunder just now did not come suddenly by coincidence, nor was it God's will, but it must have come from Wang Jingzhe.
But everyone was wondering, how did this thunder strike?
Cui Xuance looked at Wang Jingzhe deeply, then moved away from him and fell on the Li family, and said slowly: "As far as I know, there is a kind of true oath in the sect. Once it is made, there is no possibility of regret, unless the person who made the oath withdraws personally, or the two parties give up together after negotiation. Otherwise, if the other party voluntarily swears and does not abide by it, he will definitely be punished. I just thought about it. This gentleman said before, Uncle Li, do you dare to say that there is no marriage between the eldest granddaughter of the Li family and the Wang family of Chaoge? Then, uncle, you repeated it again, and the thunder struck down. I think this is the true oath in Taoism, right? In this way, it seems that this person from the Wang family of Chaoge really has an engagement with the eldest lady of your Longxi Li family. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be unreasonable for the thunder to strike?"
The knife-selling clan values promises the most, and the oaths made by the knife seller can never be broken. If the knife sold on credit cannot be retrieved, it will confirm what Wang Jingzhe said before.
"You will suffer the consequences..."
However, this time, it was not Wang Jingzhe himself who had to bear the consequences for the Longxi Li family, but God who did it for him.
Cui Xuance's words were undoubtedly equivalent to a slap in the face of Li, and the slap was extremely loud. Before that, Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui had sworn that Wang Jingzhe was making a fuss and talking nonsense, and then the Li family ancestral hall was chopped down.
What a loud slap!
"So what? Why should we recognize this unclear engagement? Why should the eldest granddaughter of the Li family recognize..." An old man from the Li family laughed coldly, "Now that the engagement is out and the thunder has struck, do we still have to go ahead with the engagement?"
Wang Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, and uttered three words with contempt: "Shameless!"
Old Li said shamelessly: "So what?"
"Hehe..." Wang Jingzhe left with a divine smile without saying anything.
Li Lanrong then said to Cui Chenliang, "Brother Chenliang, this is nothing more than a small episode. It's over after the episode. Let's continue to talk about the engagement between the two families, shall we?"
Cui Chenliang frowned. This episode was not very pleasant, even a little disgusting. But as Li Lanrong said, the episode has passed, so can the marriage still be arranged?
Cui Chenliang turned his head and whispered something to the elder of Nan Kunlun . The other party nodded, indicating that the engagement would continue as usual. Although the eldest granddaughter of the Li family was engaged, it seemed that it had passed now. The Li family wanted to marry their daughter, and their Cui family wanted to marry her, so it did make sense to continue.
At this time, Wang Jingzhe had already walked to the door of the main hall. He tilted his head slightly and shook his head gently. When he was about to step out, the phone next to Li Lanrong rang. He glanced at the phone screen.
The person who called was the old man in the Li family who was in charge of the cemetery. The only time every year that the cemetery received a call was when the Li family offered sacrifices to their ancestors.
The Longxi Li family has two mausoleums. One of them is well-known in Tang Zhaoling, which has almost become a tourist attraction now.
To be honest, the cemetery no longer belongs to the Li family, but they go there to worship every year.
There is also a cemetery near the Wei River in Longxi, which is the burial place of successive patriarchs and important figures of the Li family since the Tang Dynasty.
Li Lanrong picked up the phone in surprise, and heard the low voice of the old man guarding the mausoleum: "Lanrong, something happened in the mausoleum..."
Li Lanrong was immediately shocked and asked quickly, "What happened?"
"Your father's tomb has cracked, and many snakes, insects, ants and beasts have crawled out of it. There are also problems with your great grandfather and brother's tombs. I just took a quick look and found that at least four or five tombs are abnormal."
The old man guarding the mausoleum had not finished his call when another person from the Li family came to the main hall and said in a panic, "The old well in the backyard is overflowing with water, and the yard is almost flooded."
There is an old well behind the Li family compound. This well has been in the Li family for many years, and can be traced back to the time when the Li family settled in Longxi.
Everyone in the Li family knows that the Feng Shui of the Li family mansion in Longxi is very good, but few people know that the old well that dried up hundreds of years ago is the core of this Feng Shui mansion.
Li Lanrong was extremely panicked, and his chest was heaving.
Cui Xuance said quietly: "The feng shui is broken..."
