After all, the urn jar on the table did not escape the clutches of Gongsun and his son. The father and his son, who had no taboos, took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and readily opened the lid.

With a "click", the ancestral hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone turned back to look at the two father and son. The fourth son was holding the lid in his hand, and Gongsun looked into the urn. They were all looking into the urn.

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu were embarrassed. One of them felt that the father and son were from Kaifeng Mansion, and the other felt that they were their own people. In short, they both had the responsibility of "guardianship".

Bai Yutang took a look and forgot about his worries, wanting to see if he would be angry.

Ye Wangyou's expression was quite complicated at the moment. You could say he was angry... It seemed that he was not in that position. After all, it was not the ashes of his relatives... and it had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Zhen kept moving forward to see what was in the jar, but Nangong grabbed his belt tightly.

After the fourth son and Gongsun saw clearly what was in the urn, they seemed to be stunned. The older one and the younger one looked at each other with some confusion in their eyes.

The fourth child put down the lid and opened the second one... After a while, he opened all the lids with a "swish" sound.

This time everyone was led over, and everyone gathered around the altar table, looking into the jar.

First of all, there is indeed ashes in the jar, but at first glance, it seems that it is not ashes, but straw ashes... To be precise, it is like straw shavings and the like. Just throw some at the bottom of the jar to act as a buffer to prevent it from actually being placed in the jar.

The contents inside collided with the jar and caused it to break.

So what is really in the jar?

Scarecrows...the kind made of black stone, five in total! One in each jar.

"This..." Zhan Zhao and the others pointed, remembering what You Lian said before. He found a strange stone scarecrow when bandits accidentally bombed an ancient tomb in Bailian Mountain, but his men stole the stone with a pickaxe.

After that, the world disappeared. And this stone sculpture had the power of the evil spirit, and it wiped out all the bandits overnight...

The story You Lian told before began to emerge before everyone's eyes... Why is there such a stone sculpture in this urn?

Is this the one Youlian saw back then? It should be, because when Youlian saw the scarecrow, she said it was almost exactly the same as that stone sculpture, and the stone sculptures in the urn now are just like those that appeared in several previous cases.

The scarecrow is exactly the same.

"This stone carving should be hard to find." Zhan Zhao whispered to Fifth Master, "I only found one after blowing up the mountain. Has that stone pickaxe been collecting this kind of..."

"Collect it and put it in the urn?" Bai Yutang was a little confused - what was it for?

"Who were you talking about just now?"

At this time, Ye Wangyou suddenly asked, "Stone pickaxe?"

Zhan Zhao and the others all nodded, only Zhao Zhen and Nangong stared blankly - who is Shi Hao?

Ye Wangyou frowned and said to himself, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

"This shouldn't be a very common name." Zhao Pu reminded Ye Wangyou to think about it carefully.

Ye Wangyou really thought about it seriously...

When it comes to memory, both Youlian and He Wanfeng should be very good.

But Yi Wangyou thought about it for a while and couldn't remember, "It's probably not someone I know... maybe I heard or saw this name somewhere."

No one rushed him, and Wangyou himself was a smart person. If he wanted to, he would naturally think of it, just give him some time.

While this side is still thinking, the other side’s hands haven’t stopped either…

The little fourth son stretched out his hand and took out a black stone scarecrow from the jar, holding it in his hands and looking at it.

Everyone's eyes were also attracted by the stone sculpture. Zhao Zhen's hands were still weak, so he wanted to reach out and touch it. However, the fourth boy refused to let him go, so he ducked away with a tilt of his shoulders, hiding the stone sculpture, and glanced at Zhao Zhen.

, it seemed that he was only allowed to see and not touch.

On the side, Nangong and Zhao Pu took Zhao Zhen's two

He held his hands behind his back and told him to stay calm.

Zhan Zhao also wanted to touch it, but the fourth boy refused to let him go. Everyone looked at each other - what's going on? Does this mean that only dumplings can be held?

After looking at it carefully for a while, the fourth son reached out and put the stone sculpture back into the jar, and then closed the opened lids one by one.

Only then did everyone realize that the entire process of checking the urn was done by the fourth son, and no one else touched the urn.

After finishing this rather "ceremonial" process of "opening the altar", the fourth son clapped his hands, walked to the altar table and was about to jump down.

Zhan Zhao quickly reached out and took it...

The fourth boy kicked his legs back, and the altar table moved back about an inch.

Zhan Zhao took over a solid dumpling, while everyone looked at the shaking table.

Zhan Zhao held the little fourth child in his hands and weighed it. He felt that although it was solid, it was small and not heavy. Why was it so strong?

Bai Yutang also took a look at the altar table...it didn't look like a table that a young man could kick.

…

At the same time, in the grove of Wulian Mountain, a group of imperial soldiers were swatting mosquitoes.

Zou Liang squatted on a dead tree, patiently waiting for Xinzi to come out. Just now Ziying came to gossip with him, saying that he might have to spend the night on the mountain if he waited.

Zou Liang, who hadn't spent the night in the woods for a long time, looked at the full moon above his head and had the urge to raise his head and scream twice. The mosquitoes were so annoying that he really wanted to kick his legs and scratch them...

When he was irritated, he felt something furry slap him on the back of the head... As soon as Zou Liang turned around, he saw a chubby puppy appearing in front of him, with its chubby little paws.

I slapped him on the face and heard a familiar laughter.

Zou Liang's mood improved instantly... He saw Huo Feng squatting on the dead branch behind him and looking at him, holding a little puppy kidnapped from who knows where.

"Have you eaten?" Lin Yehuo asked Zou Liang.

General Zuo curled his lips and thought to himself, "What can I eat? I'll feed the mosquitoes here."

Lin Yehuo put the puppy on his lap, reached into his arms and took out an oil paper bag, and handed it to Zou Liang.

Zou Liang took the paper bag, looked down, and saw another group of Imperial City troops arriving outside the forest. Zhai Qinbao brought people to change shifts, and also brought dinner to the imperial guards.

The imperial soldiers who had been squatting for a long time just followed Cao Lan back to the barracks for dinner.

Zou Liang sat down cross-legged and opened the paper package. When he saw there was barbecue inside, he took it out and ate it. He took two sips and wanted to drink. Lin Yehuo handed him a wine bottle.

After drinking wine and eating meat, Zou Liang was not as irritable as before...but he still felt a bit stuffy at night, and it was getting hotter and hotter.

Lin Yehuo purred the puppy and looked up at the night sky, "Why is it so boring today? I wonder if it will rain soon."

…

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, Demon King and several other old men were sitting in the courtyard. Tianzun and Lu Tianhan each held a fan and walked around in the courtyard, complaining about how hot it was in Kaifeng.

It’s just as hot!

With the personalities of the two old men, they would have turned the yard into an iceberg long ago, but the Demon King wouldn't let it go.

Moreover, there are so many flowers, plants, and small animals in the yard, and it would not be good if any of them freeze to death. Lu Tianhan made the room look like an ice cellar, and he even gave the White Dragon King frostbite. The old man was silent when he spoke, but now

My nose was blocked and I couldn't even make a "buzzing" sound. I was gesticulating like a mute and kept sneezing.

The White Ghost King had just returned from the golf course with his children. The four children were just like those who had just been fished out of the water. They shouted "It's so hot" and were about to jump into the pond. They were stopped by a group of old men and were driven to the bathhouse behind to take a bath.

.

The White Ghost King got used to it quite well, feeling that it was stuffy and damp, similar to the rainforest in the southwest.

After sitting for a while, Youlian and Jiuniang also came back.

I saw Long Qiaoguang walking back with his master with a fan in his hand. Tang Xiaomei and Jiuniang were holding hands and chatting.

, he must have just finished eating.

Tianzun and Yin Hou glanced at Long Qiaoguang, who was fanning his master as he walked, and both curled their lips - look at him, hum!

The Silver Demon King glanced at the two of them - You two didn't lead by example, you deserve it!

Mr. Bao also came out to enjoy the cool air, sat in the courtyard and looked at the sky, "It hasn't been this hot in years."

…

In the Bird Garden, Fang Jingxiao and Lu Yuelan brought iced bayberry wine to eat with Se Xiao.

Sexiao squatted on a wood pile for chopping firewood, holding Ye Ming on his head. He didn't drink from the cup, but looked up at the night sky.

Lu Yuelan looked at each person and the bird in a daze, and asked Fang Jingxiao in a low voice - are you crazy because of the heat?

Fang Jingxiao shook her head, "I don't know if it's because it's too hot today, but the birds and dogs are feeling a little irritable."

Lu Yuelan pointed at herself, that means - I am also very irritated! The ships of the seven princes sank, and a group of old men settled in the Imperial City Army barracks with no money. The emperor asked me to deal with this matter, and I ended up in

I went to the palace twice, but the emperor was not there. He said he had slipped out!

Fang Jingxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She originally thought that the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms came to Qingjun's side of the imperial city, thinking how powerful he was, but it turned out that he was always exhausted. If this death-defying rhythm continues, maybe after finishing the hundred-day banquet of small glutinous rice balls, he can directly

Eating the tofu rice of the Seven Kingdoms...

The two of them each picked up a piece of barbecue, teasing Sai Xiao and Ye Ming to come over and take a bite...

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the birds on the top of the tree, and the dogs in the kennels also ran out, making a low "wow" sound to the sky, and there was an unsettling anxiety all around.

.

Fang Jingxiao stood up and looked up at the sky.
