Chapter 22: Public Manifestation
Seeing that Jiang Linger no longer objected, Bao Ye lit the incense to invite the gods.
The fragrance is rising!
Zhao Shi appeared out of nowhere above the tablet.
Swish. Swish.
In an instant, countless eyes were focused on Zhao Shi who was floating in the air.
Surprised!
Respect!
Disdain!
Shock! !
The eyes are the windows to the soul. For a moment, Zhao Shi saw countless words in countless gazes.
"It's him!"
"That noble man!"
"I remember him, he's hardly changed since then!"
"I remember that he toasted me once!"
"I didn't expect that Zhao was really summoned."
"Don't they say that only after being dead for a long time and enjoying enough incense can the summoning be successful?"
"You are stupid! This just shows that this person's family is a big family. Although he died early, he enjoyed many sacrifices from his descendants. With enough incense, it is naturally possible to summon him!"
noisy.
In the yard, after the silence, there is chaos and noise.
Ancestral spirits!!
This was the first time they saw the ancestral spirits.
It's really amazing.
Just floating in the air, floating like a fairy.
Bao Ye also narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Shi in mid-air, with a mixture of longing and envy.
Ancestral spirits!!
Can he become an ancestral spirit after his death?
I want to live my life again!!
Who wouldn’t be envious?
In fact, no one knows that Master Bao has another purpose, which is to see whether the Zhao family really summoned Zhao Shi, or summoned other ancestral spirits.
If it really is Zhao Shi.
Then he also has the possibility of becoming an ancestral spirit.
Life and death!
Even emperors and generals cannot understand it, let alone an ordinary person.
I didn’t expect it was really Zhao Shi.
He had seen Zhao Shi at a wedding banquet that year, and he looked exactly like this.
"Brother Shi."
Jiang Ling'er looked at Zhao Shi with some worry. She was really afraid that something unexpected would happen.
There are ways to deal with ancestral spirits in the world!
At the very least, once the ancestral tablets are broken, the ancestral spirits will have no place to rest and may dissipate.
It does not mean that the ancestral spirits can be transferred by carving another tablet.
A place of trust!
It not only represents the spirits of the ancestors, but also the thoughts and incense of future generations. Without the thoughts and incense of future generations, the tablet is just a piece of wood.
It is impossible to summon successfully.
In other words, the tablet nurtured by the incense and thoughts of future generations is the basis for a successful summoning.
Forced transfer?
Yes, but it will become as weak as if it has nothing to rely on. It will need long-term offerings from future generations to recover.
Without people to worship and burn incense, the ancestral spirits will slowly dissipate.
This process only takes a few days.
Or a large amount of incense may be incorporated into the tablet, turning the new tablet into a suitable place for the ancestral spirits to live.
Any other means?
Just because they don’t know doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
At first, when Zhao Shi first watched TV, he saw that the ancients regarded the tablets of their ancestors as more important than their own lives. Some tablets had been worshipped for hundreds of years. When their homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated, they would risk their lives to carry the tablets of their ancestors with them.
According to his idea at that time, if the person ran away first, wouldn't it be fine if he just made a new tablet later?
But when he came to this world and saw the existence of ancestral spirits, he understood why the ancients attached so much importance to tablets.
Perhaps, there were no apparitions of ancestors in ancient times.
But in the eyes of the ancients, these tablets contain the spirits of their ancestors.
Once destroyed, the ancestors will have no place to turn to.
The things are different, but the principles are the same.
Zhao Shi shook his head at Jiang Linger. He knew that it was time for him to perform.
"Huh." Master Bao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, calming his restless heart. He bowed respectfully to Zhao Shi and said, "Thank you, Zhao's ancestors, for protecting us, the common people!"
No matter how old Zhao Shi is.
The dead are the greatest. What's more, Zhao Shi is different from them now. He has become an ancestor spirit and can protect a family.
And now? She was protecting their whole family, and she fully deserved his gift.
As long as the ancestral spirits are there, the family will not fall!
This is the most widely circulated phrase on the streets today.
This shows the importance of ancestral spirits.
"Thank you, Zhao's ancestors, for your protection!"
"Thank you, Zhao's ancestors, for your protection!"
Mr. Bao bowed, and the others followed suit, bowing respectfully to Zhao Shi and expressing their gratitude.
"You are so polite, fellow villagers!"
"I have been away for these years. Ling'er and her daughter have been taken care of by all the local people. Zhao Shi would like to express his gratitude here."
After everyone finished paying their respects, Zhao Shi, who was floating in the air, slowly fell down without any movement, came to the front of the crowd, and also paid his respects and said thank you.
At this time, Zhao Shi was no longer the ancestor spirit, but expressed his gratitude as Jiang Linger's husband, Zhao Yan's father, and the head of the Zhao family.
At the same time, doing so is also telling everyone that the Zhao family has men.
Over the years, he knew everyone, including those who had done him favors and those who had made him enemies.
"Don't dare!"
"I don't dare!"
Seeing Zhao Shi thanking them, the others waved their hands.
Noble man!
Zhao Shi still looks the same as when he first arrived. His clothes are still of that strange style, but you can tell they are unusual just by looking at the fabric and workmanship.
Jiang Linger married Zhao Shi.
I don’t know how many people were envious and jealous back then.
There is even a rumor among the people that the Jiang family is trying to climb up the social ladder.
The mother married a high-ranking member of the Song family martial arts school, and the daughter married a noble man in need.
In the hearts of many people, a noble person is still a noble person even if he is in trouble.
Who would have thought that in just three days, the noble man would disappear.
At this time, there were many rumors spreading.
He thought that the proprietress had lost more than she gained and wanted to climb up the social ladder, so he sold his daughter to someone else.
It's okay now!
The nobleman played around for a while and then left.
When Zhao Yan was about to summon the ancestral spirit, someone even laughed at her and said, "I wonder if that noble man is living happily in that prosperous place with many wives and concubines! How could he still remember Jiang Ling'er, a wild girl from the countryside!"
What about now?
The fact that Zhao Shi could appear as a spirit was obviously different from what they said. He was thinking about his family, otherwise he would not have been able to summon him.
From now on, all rumors will disappear.
"you!"
After Zhao Shi expressed his thanks, his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, finally stopping on a man in the corner. Then, Zhao Shi pointed at the man with his finger.
"It's Liu Si!"
"Why is he here?"
"I didn't inform him!!"
"Who told him?"
"Hasn't he been taking refuge at Butcher Chen's house?"
The others followed the direction of Zhao Shi's finger and saw the man. They were instantly shocked and started talking about him.
Zhao Shi ignored everyone's words, pointed at the man and said coldly, "Get out!"
It was decisive and left no room for maneuver.
For nothing else.
Just now, Zhao Shi noticed that this man had been looking at Jiang Ling'er and Yan'er with an obscene gaze. Moreover, among all the people who were paying homage, he was the only one who did not offer incense.
