It’s just that the water in the well has dried up over hundreds of years, leaving only one dry well. I haven’t studied the specific age when the word ancestral hall began to appear. There are very few in the north. Its own meaning is to commemorate the ancestors of the family and show the family’s status in a certain period.

Achievements from the glorious period. Usually there are rankings of ancestors or golden statues inside.

Whether Lin Meixi's guess is accurate or not can be determined by looking at whether there is a golden statue or tablet of Li Zicheng in the ancestral hall.

Just when the four of them were about to enter the ancestral hall, suddenly the window on the second floor was pushed open with a creak. Everyone was shocked and took a step back to look up. It was Old Man Li. He stared at the four people downstairs expressionlessly.

at every turn.

"I'm sorry, we broke into Wangchen Village without your permission." Nan Haiyue apologized to the old man.

"This is your fate! You are destined to reincarnate in this world forever. It's too late, it's too late, you can't leave Wangchen Village." The old man said this inexplicably, and then

He waved to the four people to indicate that they could come in.

Mei Xi wondered in her heart, could it be that if we step across the Yin-Yang Bridge, the bridge will be broken immediately? Why does he say that we can't go back? What does it mean that we will be reincarnated in this world forever?

The four of them walked side by side towards the main entrance of the ancestral hall, but just as they reached the door and before they could go in, a layer of fear suddenly appeared on the faces of Mei Xi and Nan Haiyue, and the two girls took a step back at the same time, unwilling to go any further.

"Gege, Fujin, why don't you leave?"

This was the first time that Mei Xi had such a feeling of sympathy with her ancestral creatures. She just felt the temperature of the azure ring hanging around her neck suddenly change. It was a piece of fine topaz material. It was supposed to be hot in the summer.

It was extremely cold inside, but it had the temperature of a human body, and the temperature was still rising sharply. Her brother-in-law told her that this baby was protected by spiritual beings, and if its temperature changed, it meant there was something dirty nearby.

"Sister Haiyue, I...my thumb ring seems to be hot." She was not sure whether her judgment was accurate.

Nan Haiyue took out the Ulanara's sacred object she carried with her from the inner lining. It was a beautiful wolf totem pendant. She held the beautiful amber in her hand and vaguely felt that the ancestral sacred object was warning her.

While the two girls were struggling, a dark wind suddenly blew from inside the door. This wind was so strong that the four of them covered their eyes and did not dare to open their eyes. The four of them held hands for fear of being blown down by the dark wind.

I don’t know how long it took, but the dark wind finally calmed down.

"I said, you are destined not to leave. You four Manchu dogs! Humph!" The old man's curses rang in my ears.

The four of them opened their eyes and found that they were already in the ancestral hall. The door behind them had been closed at some point. The entire ancestral hall was dark, with only a few dim oil lamps hanging in the four corners flickering like soul-inducing lamps.

dark.

"Old man, I don't understand what you mean."

"Stop pretending, you are Manchus! You are the best sacrifice God has given to Wangchen Village!" The old man walked down the stairs on the second floor step by step.

"What do you want?" Mei Xi pointed at him and shouted.

"I don't want to do anything. The debts owed by you people should be paid tonight. I won't let you come and you won't listen. Now that you are here, you can't leave! Humph!" The old man smiled coldly.

"You old ghost, I'm warning you, don't come here! You're welcome if you come again!" Mei Xi had already felt the strong aura of old Li Tou. When the old man arrived at the Li family ancestral hall, he seemed to be a different person.

Po is not an old man who is over seventy years old at all, but a greedy demon, and they are all his prey.

The door of the ancestral hall was right behind her, and the four of them beat desperately but could not open it. Mei Xi did not learn the tactful side from her brother-in-law, but she understood the cruelty that a leader should have, and she could no longer be kind in the face of life and death.

"Fourth, kill him! Kill him!" Mei Xi ordered.

Ma Laosi took the Thompson and aimed it at the old man's figure and fired a blast. The powerful Thompson let out a deafening roar and a choking smell of gunpowder. The four of them vaguely heard the old man still coldly laughing at their naivety in the darkness.

When the thick gunpowder smoke dissipated, the strange old man disappeared from the ancestral hall. No one could be seen alive or dead, as if everything just now was a dream and he had never been to the ancestral hall. Mei Xi made a gesture,

Ma Laosi and Dayong understood, and carefully surrounded them from both sides. The two men had just taken two steps, and suddenly, the door behind them opened with a creak. Everyone's nerves were tense and they instinctively looked back.

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded. It turned out that the total time from the moment they entered the ancestral hall unknowingly to the moment they shot the old man was less than 2 minutes, but the world outside the ancestral hall turned dark.

"What time is it?" Haiyue asked.

Mei Xi looked at her watch: "Ah? Why did it suddenly become 9 o'clock in the evening? Isn't this time too weird?"

There was a bang, and a raging fire started in the brazier under the altar table in the center of the first floor of the ancestral hall, lighting up the entire first floor. There was a statue of a god about ten meters away in front of them. It was a golden body and eight-armed monster. The monster looked like an evil ghost.

With the same ferocious green face and fangs, he held a different weapon on each arm and glared angrily at the four uninvited guests.

At this time, many ghost coins scattered from the second floor, which immediately added a strange atmosphere to the entire Li family ancestral hall.

"Hurry up and get out of here!" Everything here is too weird. Nan Haiyue still chose to be cautious before she knew the origin of this evil god.

Ma Laosi and Dayong aimed their guns at the evil god, covering the two masters as they exited the ancestral hall little by little. The four of them ran non-stop down the stone road, for fear that if they were too late, the whole village would be turned upside down.

.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any other strange things along the way. Ten minutes later, the four of us finally ran to the old ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, panting. The round moon hung above our heads, but the moonlight could not penetrate the ginkgo tree.

The trees provide dense shade.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Dayong still couldn't let go.

"Gege, Fujin, why do I feel that Old Li Tou seems to have a split personality? He was the same in his thatched cottage, but he turned into a devil when he entered Wangchen Village!" Ma Laosi said.

Nan Haiyue has seen too many weird things before, but this encounter was the first time. She almost collapsed. This was a situation that was beyond one person's control. They were no longer with those with vital signs.
