"Isn't it normal for our ancestors to bless future generations to prosper?" Uncle Jiang was puzzled.
His family also begged many times, and the ancestors really showed up, allowing the Jiang family to have many children.
"What about your Jiang family? Why are there only two left?"
What Lu Yuan said was a bit hurtful, but he had to say it.
Because he felt that something was wrong, Jiang Bo and others might have been deceived by evil spirits, and he had to wake them up.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan remembered the scene when he first entered the village.
At that time, the village was dead and silent, and the red lanterns illuminated the road, turning the small village with living people into a dark and bloody countryside, as if there was a big evil in town.
At that time, his first instinct was that there was an evil spirit present. It was not an ordinary small evil spirit, but a big evil spirit that had taken root and almost turned the village into a new evil territory.
But after the villagers appeared, the vitality of the village reappeared, and the previous strange feeling disappeared completely. Now there was no news of any deaths, so Lu Yuan didn't think much about it.
Now that he heard Uncle Jiang say this, he had a hunch that the evil spirits in this village had not yet been cleansed.
The big evil spirit may have noticed the power of the Nian beast and took the initiative to hide that night.
When Uncle Jiang heard the master say this, his expression turned bad.
He was not angry with the master, but fell into sad memories, thinking of his dead children and his dead wife.
"Several of them were given human heads to praying mantises after drawing lots. There was also a silly grandson who fell to death outside. Hey, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have..."
When Uncle Jiang was about to continue, Lu Yuan interrupted him.
"I understand, but what about other families?"
"Other families? There are also children from other families who were selected by lot. There is nothing to say. Everyone knows that they cannot defeat the evil spirits of the Netherworld. They have to make sacrifices every year. Whoever is drawn will be unlucky. This is the fate of the Jiang family and the prosperity of the people. It can’t resist the evil appetite.”
Uncle Jiang shook his head and sighed.
Lu Yuan didn't think so.
That is not a serious ancestor, but an evil spirit disguised as an ancestor.
He didn't dare to be 100% sure, but his heart was already inclined towards the evil spirit taking root in the village.
"Where are your ancestors enshrined? An ancestral temple?"
"Yes, Master Lu, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just want to visit your ancestors."
"Ah, do you want to worship our ancestors? This, this, this is not allowed." Uncle Jiang shook his head after hearing this, subconsciously feeling that this was inappropriate.
Isn't it sheer nonsense for outsiders to worship the ancestors of their village? If the ancestors knew about it, they would definitely not bless the Jiang family.
"I don't worship my ancestors, I just want to see them."
"That's not good. Our ancestors don't like to see outsiders. Only by marrying into our village and becoming a member of our village can we enter the ancestral temple to see our ancestors."
"Why so much trouble?"
"This is the rule of the village, Master Lu. Please don't make it difficult for me..."
As Uncle Jiang spoke, he wanted to kneel down and beg Lu Yuan to take back that terrible thought.
As for what was so scary about this idea, Uncle Jiang himself couldn't explain it. In short, he just felt that it was not allowed. The ancestral temple could not allow outsiders to enter.
Lu Yuan quickly caught Jiang Bo's arms.
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb your ancestors."
Lu Yuan agreed verbally, but secretly he would definitely send the Nian beast Dabai invisibly to check the situation.
Just because he doesn't bother, doesn't mean Nian Beast doesn't bother.
If an evil spirit is really entrenched in the village, then this evil spirit must be a very strong one.
Starting with a guaranteed three-star rating, it may be as strong as a four-star rating.
As for the five-star evil spirits...that's basically impossible.
In ancient times, the five-star level Xie Sui had already had the combat power of a sect master.
How could they condescend to stay in a small village and smoke incense from others? If they wanted to smoke, they should go to a large and populous city to smoke.
Speaking of which, the Dream Core still lacks 20% of the energy progress before it can condense the next time particle.
If the evil spirits in the village are eliminated, it is possible to make up for the remaining 20%.
In this way, he can speed up and fast forward again.
As soon as he thought about it, he was ready to do it. Lu Yuan sat on the ground and secretly communicated with his spirit to give Dabai careful orders.
Move covertly, check secretly, and be careful not to alert evil spirits.
Dabai raised his big black tail to show his understanding.
On Lu Yuan's side, he ordered Uncle Jiang to go to the village and announce that Lu Yuan was willing to open an enlightenment class on beast control. Anyone of any age who wanted to come could attend for free, without charge.
Of course, it is best to be accompanied by parents who can discipline children with ADHD.
In reality, Lu Yuan teaches teenage students. He cannot teach preschool children with imperfect minds.
If there are no parents on site to discipline, it will only make the site noisy and reduce the efficiency of education.
After Uncle Jiang was sent out, no one was watching Dabai. Dabai immediately went into hiding and acted secretly.
There has been no snow in the past two days, and the snow in the village has melted. The footprints of the Nian beast on the ground are not obvious. As long as you control the weight of your steps and hide them slightly with each step, no one will notice the Nian beast.
Lu Yuan was idle. Before anyone came, he started a small stove for Jiang Xue and taught her how to cultivate the mountain mantis to make up for her talent shortcomings. By the way, she also popularized the importance of the passive talent system.
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. She learned new knowledge today and secretly memorized a knowledge point she had never heard of before - the passive talent system.
Passive talent, according to my grandfather, is a lucky attribute that can only be encountered but cannot be obtained. It is useless even if you ask the ancestors for blessings, the ancestors cannot bless this.
However, according to Lu Yuan, passive talents can be cultivated artificially and can form a system.
This is outrageous.
Jiang Xue has not yet come into contact with the mainstream views on beast control in this world, and does not know if it is true, so she will just take it seriously.
Not long after.
The whole village was in action. Parents brought their children and souvenirs and came to greet Lu Yuan cordially.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said no, but the villagers were very enthusiastic and insisted on stuffing the chickens and ducks in their hands into Lu Yuan's arms.
Seeing that more and more people were coming and they couldn't fit in anymore, they just threw the live chickens, ducks and children into the yard and ran away.
Lu Yuan couldn't stop so many people. Looking at the messy courtyard, he called the children from each family to come and presented gifts to their families one by one.
"After class, take back all the chickens and ducks you brought. This is my order. If you don't obey, don't come to class in the future." Lu Yuan said.
The children had no right to resist Lu Yuan, so they could only agree with stiff necks.
Then Lu Yuan started classes. There was no blackboard here, and he didn't know the local language, so it was impossible for him to write on the blackboard on the ground.
Just stop in the crowd and use your language proficiency skills to verbally describe the knowledge points, starting from the shallower to the deeper, learning from the small to the big, and speaking slowly.
Meanwhile, the Nian beast Dabai wanders around the village.
It doesn't know where the ancestral temple is, but it knows that the ancestral temple must be the most magnificent building in the village.
If it sees that building, it will recognize it.
No, after walking for ten minutes and passing a low house, Dabai stopped and fixed his gaze on a huge courtyard with a majestic facade, a very large area, and a height higher than the surrounding buildings.
The ancient trees in the courtyard cover the roof with luxuriant branches and leaves. Each black aerial root hangs down from the tree and penetrates into the ancestral temple, blocking a large area of sunlight and leaving the ancestral temple in shadow.
