That night, there was no peace in the village chief's house. At first, a wild cat caused trouble. Soon, there were more than ten wild cats wandering around the village chief's house.
Not only that, domestic dogs and wild dogs, which have always had a life-or-death relationship with wild cats, also participated.
For a while, there were constant sounds of cats meowing and dogs barking around the village chief's house.
When someone came out to drive them away, the cats and dogs just stayed away for a certain distance. As soon as the people left, they immediately came back and barked non-stop.
The quality of sleep of the elderly is not good to begin with. The cats and dogs kept making noise all night, and the village chief was very angry.
Not only the village chief and his family, but everyone in the village was so noisy that no one could sleep well.
Early the next morning, someone suggested that the village chief beat all the cats and dogs to death.
But the village chief has something. He believes that cats and dogs are spiritual, and it is not appropriate to kill them like this.
There must be something wrong with the yelling and screaming last night.
Then think about what my grandson said yesterday and the incense burner at home.
understood!
A new god came to the house, and he was dissatisfied with the current environment and wanted to live in a regular ancestral hall, so he let these cats and dogs come to make trouble!
Everyone believed the village chief's inference very much and asked the village chief how to handle the matter.
The village chief believes that his village has not had its own temple for gods and goddesses in recent years, so he might as well build one.
The idea was good, but the first step got stuck.
The village is poor and has no money.
If it weren't for lack of money, the village wouldn't have been unable to build a fairy temple for so many years.
Just when everyone was stuck on the first step, the man who was sent by the village chief to sell bronze vessels in Fucheng yesterday came back.
The man came back and brought good news.
Lu Yuanwai from Fucheng liked those bronzes very much and spent a full five hundred taels to buy them all.
When the village chief heard the news, he said bluntly:
"God's will, God's will!"
Others asked why, and the village chief explained that as soon as he was about to build a temple for the gods, he received money. Isn't this a secret reminder from the gods?
When the villagers heard this, they took it seriously.
With the support of the village chief's statement, every villager started to get busy as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
The site selection was simple. There was an open space at the east end of the village near Laoyin Mountain.
Strangely enough, nothing but weeds grew in that open space.
Even with repeated fertilization, no crops grew at all, and over time, it just became empty.
The villagers invited people to look at the land, but the people who looked at the land said on the spot that this place was naturally suitable for building an ancestral hall, and also said a lot of words that the villagers did not understand.
All in all, you are definitely right to choose this place.
With the affirmation of Feng Shui observers, the enthusiasm of the villagers became even higher. Basically, they were busy with farm work during the day and stayed up until midnight to build the ancestral hall.
There was not enough manpower, so the village chief simply waved his hand and hired many craftsmen outside to help build the ancestral hall.
Oddly enough, ever since the village decided to build a temple to the gods, the cats and dogs in the village have stopped making noises.
This made the villagers even more enthusiastic about building ancestral halls.
The reason why those cats and dogs stopped making noises was actually because the black smoke ball was frightened.
After a night of siege, the black smoke group was so frightened that he hid in the incense burner all day long, unable to get out.
Cats and dogs can no longer find it, so they will naturally stop making trouble.
In these days and months, whenever something important happens to a family, it is natural for them to spread the news to ten, and then spread it to hundreds of people.
What's more, the construction of the Immortal Temple in Laozhang Village is full of fantasy, and naturally it has become a chat among people after dinner.
After talking like this, things started to change.
From the beginning, a deity saved two people sleeping in the mountains. Later, it became a deity descending to earth, killing hundreds of demons and saving the entire Laozhang village.
Things became more and more outrageous as rumors spread. The key is that the people in Lao Zhang Village did not refute this, but were happy to see it happen.
Because since the news spread, more and more people have come to Laozhang Village because of it.
Even many literati had nothing to do and gathered in Laozhang Village.
At first, the people of Laozhang Village were not used to facing so many outsiders, but when they found out that a considerable number of people were very rich and willing to spend money, everyone was very happy.
Soon, Yuanwai Lu from Fucheng found out about this.
After hearing that the bronze antiques he bought were from the ancestral hall of "General Ye Ming", Yuan Lu directly supported Laozhang Village with a thousand taels of silver to build the ancestral hall.
This made the people of Laozhang village crazy with joy, and they worked hard to build ancestral halls one by one.
In order to attract more people, the village chief even organized a group of people to go deep into Laoyin Mountain and retrieve all the items from the original "Yeming Temple".
In this way, in one month, a large-scale ancestral hall was built at the east end of Laozhang Village.
On the day when the ancestral hall was officially completed, many villagers from the surrounding villages came to watch. Many officials' families and literati came to gather here. It was very lively for a while.
The most surprising thing is that Lu Yuanwai from Fucheng actually brought his family members with him and personally nominated the "Yeming Temple" for this ancestral hall.
Speaking of which, the villagers didn't know who General Ye Ming was, but people like Lu Yuanwai and others naturally knew.
This General Ye Ming was a loyal and brave general who lived more than 1,500 years ago. He suppressed chaos and defended the enemy, and made great achievements in battle.
In the end, he was framed by a villain and died with hatred. He was also ordered not to build an ancestral hall after his death.
If Lao Zhangcun hadn't accidentally discovered the location of the secret "Yeming Temple" this time, I'm afraid many people would not be able to remember who he is.
The villagers were even more elated after learning about the deeds of this loyal and brave general.
On this day, many Taoist priests and monks came to chant sutras and perform rituals.
The black smoke ball was almost frightened to death, hiding in the incense burner and not daring to move.
Just feeling the mana surging around the ancestral hall made the black smoke almost fly away from the sky with fear.
Fortunately, the incense burner is very special. Even if it is close at hand, as long as the black smoke itself is not exposed, outsiders will not be able to detect its existence.
In this way, what seems like a very lively day to outsiders, but to Heiyan Tuan, it is like a year.
Finally getting through the day, Black Smoke felt that his instinct to inhale Yang Qi was frightened and shrunk.
For the next three months, the black smoke did not dare to leave the incense burner.
Because there is an endless stream of people coming here every day to burn incense and make wishes.
These people wish for anything, and the most normal wish is for their children who are serving as soldiers to return home safely.
But this is only a small part, most of them seek promotion, wealth and a healthy marriage.
Of course, there are also many outrageous wishes, such as hoping that the eldest son will die suddenly, and hoping that the neighbor’s children will never look like him...
This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that a murderous fugitive has also sneaked in, begging "General Ye Ming" for protection, hoping not to be caught.
The black smoke ball dared not leave the incense burner now, and stayed inside every day, listening to the people outside making wishes.
Gradually, Heiyan Tuan was able to understand a little of what these people were saying, and he began to have a sense of identity with the word "Ye Ming", and he seemed to be given a name.
But lately, the black smoke, no, Ye Ming always feels a little uncomfortable.
After three months of accumulation, a mysterious power has appeared in the ancestral hall. The outside of these powers is very complex, mixed with various wishes and psychological activities of many people.
There is a clear power inside.
Ye Ming didn't know what those powers were, but it made it feel very uncomfortable. Those powers would corrode its body.
Moreover, the gathered power is in the incense burner, targeting it, constantly flowing towards Ye Ming's body.
Ye Ming felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave the incense burner, but he didn't dare.
Because there are people outside every day, and there are talismans posted on the windows and doorposts of the ancestral hall.
Ye Ming's crisis instinct told it that if he dared to venture out now, he would be killed immediately by the talismans outside.
The instinct of survival forced Ye Ming to continue to stay in the incense burner, but the strange power in the incense burner continued to erode Ye Ming's body, making it particularly uncomfortable.
In desperation, Ye Ming could only continue to fight against the erosion of that power.
This consumes a lot of money for Ye Ming. At the end of the day, Ye Ming, who is a ball the size of an egg, is only as big as a little finger and is about to disappear.
Fortunately, at night, Ye Ming had Yin Qi to replenish itself, and it began to desperately absorb Yin Qi and temper its body.
Before the sun comes out in the early morning, the night light returns to the size of an egg.
But the invasion of the unknown force continued, and Ye Ming could only continue to resist.
Ye Ming, who has been fighting against the mysterious power, unexpectedly felt the presence of Yin Qi at noon. This was very strange. Noon was obviously the time when Yang Qi was strongest, why did Yin Qi appear for a moment?
Ye Ming didn't know the reason, nor did he want to know the reason. It was just a demon trying to survive.
From that day on, Ye Ming continued to fight against that mysterious power. During the day, he could only get a trace of strange yin nourishment, and the rest of his time was simply consumed.
At night, Yin Qi can be used for recovery.
As time goes by, people's enthusiasm for the "Ye Ming Temple" gradually fades. Although there are still people who come here occasionally, the number is not large anymore.
Only people in this village and a few nearby villages have formed a fixed habit of coming to the ancestral hall to burn incense every time there is a festival or event.
Ye Ming felt that the mysterious power was not as scary as it was at the beginning, and he could now resist it.
But the steady force is steady, with no gaps, and there is a feeling that it is about to solidify.
Ye Ming was very afraid of this power and kept resisting.
Two months later, a layer of transparent power formed around the body of Ye Ming's black smoke.
This power wraps Ye Ming in the middle, and it actually spontaneously absorbs the power that Ye Ming doesn't like.
After all the hardships, Ye Ming finally no longer felt the oppression of this power.
Moreover, for some reason, Ye Ming felt that under the protection of this layer of power, he seemed to be able to leave the incense burner.
Ye Ming tried to let a little black smoke seep out of the incense burner. Sure enough, wrapped in the transparent mysterious power, the talismans posted in the ancestral hall did not attack it.
Ye Ming completely flew out of the incense burner little by little. When she found out that everything was fine, she suddenly showed excitement.
For some reason, Ye Ming looked at the statue of "General Ye Ming" standing in the main hall of the ancestral hall. It was obviously made of clay, but it felt like he could live in it.
Just do what you think of, and wrapped in the mysterious and transparent power, Ye Ming got into the statue of "General Ye Ming"...
