The fast travel is too late

Chapter 23

There is a small courtyard after the entrance, but it is so big that you can see everything at a glance.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a three-eared round tripod, which was filled with incense ash, with unburned incense stuck in it, and the smoke was continuously floating upwards.

Cen Shen didn't know what the taboos were about this kind of incense. He only knew that every time he came here, the incense he saw was burning.

Apart from the Yuanding, there is nothing else in the courtyard. After passing the Yuanding, it is the place where the memorial tablets are placed in the ancestral hall.

There are also rules for placing the tablets. In the main hall, there are tablets for the main vein, which is the direct branch, and the left and right side rooms are for the branches.Cen Shen's lineage can be regarded as a direct branch, and his grandfather's tablet is also placed in the main hall.

In the legends of this world, the human soul is like a thick fog in late autumn, gradually fading away in the continuous reincarnation, and finally dissipating between heaven and earth.When it condenses again, it will be another person.

Although reincarnation also exists, everyone always thinks that after rebirth, reincarnation has nothing to do with the previous life.Therefore, tablet sacrifices are only for living people to see, and it is just a kind of nostalgia.

Nothing was found in the small courtyard, so Cen Shen had no choice but to turn to the main hall.

Because the definition of reincarnation is different here, it is quite possible that the formation is set in the main room.

"Yes, otherwise, I'll wait for you outside." Xin Wu shuddered, she didn't know that the reincarnation of the two worlds was different.Looking at the memorial tablets in the room, she always felt that a ghost with a blurred body would suddenly jump out the next moment.

She thought that Cen Shen was also going to study ethnology today, so she wanted to go out for a walk with Cen Shen. She didn't expect that ancient students had such a thing as Muxiu.She was terrified when she was brought to the ancestral hall, and now that she is at the place where the tablet is placed, she feels even more terrified.

This kind of place is usually very evil, maybe there is a thousand-year-old ghost hidden in any corner!
Beep, I want to go home.

Xin Wu's paws couldn't help clenching Cen Shen's clothes tightly, and the whole bird was shaking like Parkinson's.

Cen Shen, who was still focused on finding the formation, was a little surprised when he heard Xin Wu's words. He thought Xin Wu would like to join in the fun.But think about it, he didn't tell her that he came out to hunt for treasure this time.

Thinking of this, Cen Shen was about to explain to Xin Wu what he was doing now. If the Lingbao could be imported, maybe Xin Wu would eat it in the end.

"Ah Yan, is there any here, is there any, that Ah Piao?" Whispering into Cen Shen's ear in a low voice, Xin Wu wished he could hug Cen Shen's neck and not let go.

"Ah Piao? What is that?" It was a novel word, at least Cen Shen had never heard of it before meeting Xin Wu.

"It's what a person will become after death," Xin Wu explained the meaning of Ah Piao.

"Isn't the soul and body waiting for reincarnation after death?" Because the two worlds have different definitions of reincarnation, Cen Shen failed to understand exactly what Ah Piao was.

But Xin Wu did remind him of one thing.

Since the big monster will be attracted by the aura leaked from the Lingbao, Xin Wu can also feel the aura of the Lingbao.

With such thoughts in his heart, Cen Shen was also ready to put his guess into action.

"Awu, can you feel any unusual aura in the ancestral hall?"

Breath, what breath?
Xin Wu was suddenly confused. Could it be that there really was a ghost here? He was very scared.

He didn't want to feel the ghostly aura at all, but facing Cen Shen's expectant gaze, Xin Wu couldn't say no to it.

You can't tell Cen Shen that she is really a war scum, and it's useless at all.She also wants to save face.

As for ghosts!
She is already a demon now, and she is also an unscientific existence, so she doesn't need to be afraid of ghosts at all.

Silently cheering himself up, Xin Wu closed his eyes and tried to calm down and feel the surrounding environment.

Formless mist gushes out from Xin Wu's body silently and shuttles through the ancestral hall.Xin Wu obviously had her eyes closed, but the entire scene of the ancestral hall appeared in her mind without any detail.

She saw Cen Shen in the main hall holding a white bird, and also saw the third grandfather at the entrance of the ancestral hall making another pot of tea and taking out a plate of snacks.Looking at it, she realized something was wrong. There was a small open space behind the main hall, which was covered with flowers and plants.

This is not important, the important thing is that Xin Wu can't see through those flowers.And she seems to smell a good smell, just under that clearing.

It turns out there is no ghost!
Opening his eyes, Xin Wu blinked, feeling somewhat nostalgic for the feeling just now.

"There is a very good smell in the open space behind, it smells so good, it seems to be delicious."

A little bit like drooling, Xin Wu is a little thankful that he is a bird now, and the bird's beak can't secrete so much saliva, so naturally there won't be such an embarrassing thing like drooling.

"It was there!"

As soon as Xin Wu said that, Cen Shen also thought of where it was.

The ancestral hall was not so big at first, but it was expanded once on the original basis, and the area around the ancestral hall was also included in the scope of the ancestral hall.The same goes for the open space behind.

He lifted his foot and was about to go to the open space behind, when suddenly there was a sound from the tablet behind.Cen Shen subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, and also felt a certain one trembling in his palm.

"what?"

Thinking that something extraordinary would appear, Xin Wu picked at Cen Shen's fingers and looked through the cracks, and saw a dumb mouse looking at them on the table.

Cen Shen also saw the mouse clearly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Rats in the ancestral hall are always bad, and it is even worse if the tablet is bitten.

Pushing Xin Wu into his arms and rolling up his sleeves, Cen Shen ran after the mouse first.

Lingbao?

Lingbao doesn't have long legs and can't run. Of course, catching mice is more important.

There was a scratching sound in the room. Fortunately, the third grandfather's hearing was not very good, otherwise Cen Shen would have been kicked out before he could catch the mouse, and Lingbao would have had to think of a solution.

After catching the mouse, Cen Shen thought about whether to kill it directly or throw it out. Looking at the sky outside, he took a long time, and if he didn't find Third Grandpa Lingbao, he would drive him back.

He didn't have time to look for something extra to hold the mouse. Fortunately, he was used to carrying a cloth bag containing pine nuts. The pine nuts in the bag were eaten by Xin Wu, and now it was empty to hold the mouse.

Under Xin Wu's command, Cen Shen came to the place where Xin Wu's mouth had the strongest fragrance, and he found a trace of a formation.

It is even easier to solve the formation next, after all, it is something in the book.Although he hadn't really tried it before, it was really easy for Cen Shen.

After solving the formation, the spirit treasure hidden in the formation also revealed its true colors.

But all the things called spirit treasures are things with strong aura, so that they can attract the monster race.So when the Lingbao was taken out by Cen Shen, Xin Wu had the urge to pounce on the Lingbao and eat it.

It was just impulsiveness, Xin Wu thought that Cen Shen was in a hurry to find the Lingbao for other purposes, so naturally he wouldn't foolishly say that he wanted to eat it.

It's impossible to say that you didn't notice Xin Wu's salivating appearance.But even if he noticed, Cen Shen couldn't let Xin Wu eat the Lingbao immediately.

Although the Lingbao was hidden here by his ancestors, so many years have passed, who knows if it is broken, he has to check it, so that he can rest assured.

The mouse in the cloth bag was flopping around again, Cen Shen took out a square box from his sleeve, put the Lingbao in it, and closed the box, now Xin Wu could not smell the fragrance from Lingbao.

The square box was also left by the Yan master of Cen Shen's ancestor, in order to isolate the breath of the Lingbao.

Cen Shen found the square box and didn't look at it carefully. It was only when he used it this time that he found that there was still a letter inside. It's too late to read it now, so we'll talk about it when we go back.
