Chapter 4 Space
"Yes, yes, your father is still here, your father is still here, he is still watching us from the tablet!"

Hearing her daughter's words, the young woman Jiang Ling nodded repeatedly, but she couldn't stop crying.

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and quickly left the ancestral hall. After a moment, he came back with a small wooden box and said to the girl, "Yan'er, go sell this hairpin tomorrow and buy some incense sticks. Also, we have to burn incense for your father every morning. The more incense sticks, the stronger your father will be!"

"Ah, Mom, this is the gift Dad bought for you."

Zhao Yan said in surprise when she saw the hairpin.

Gold hairpin!

It was the only gift her father gave to her mother.

Over the years, no matter how hard it was, I never sold it.
"Your father is back, what's the use of a hairpin? Go ahead and buy some ordinary incense and candles!" Jiang Ling looked at Zhao Shi's tablet with a smile on her face and said gently.

When Zhao Shi didn't come back, the hairpin was just a thought. When Zhao Shi came back, it didn't matter whether the hairpin was there or not.
Even if Zhao Shi is a spirit now!
As long as people are alive and willing to show up, it means they have not forgotten them. As for the reason why he left without saying goodbye, it was obviously because of some unavoidable reasons.

Zhao Yan still wanted to persuade her.

I just saw my mother's determined eyes and opened my mouth but said nothing.

Over the years, she knew that although her mother never said it, she was always thinking about her father.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yan took the box and left home.

"Girl, is your family settled?"

As Zhao Yan just walked out the door, an old lady stopped her and asked curiously.

It is not uncommon for the Zhao family to summon their ancestors' spirits.

The purchase of three sticks of incense every day for praying to the gods really makes many people jealous.

Seeing Zhao Yan’s happy expression at this time, he stopped Zhao Yan.

There are not many families on their street who have successfully summoned their ancestral spirits. After all, the people living here are ordinary people, and not every family can afford to buy incense to invite the gods.

Even if you can afford it, the ancestral spirits may not necessarily appear.

The more ordinary a family is, the more difficult it is for the ancestral spirits to appear.

It is easier to summon people who were literate and educated during their lifetime, or who were warriors or soldiers, and who had a certain status and achievements.

"Grandma Liu, my father has returned."

Hearing the old woman's question, Zhao Yan immediately laughed and spoke loudly.

She said this, firstly to the old woman, and secondly to some people around her with ill intentions. She believed that these words would soon reach the ears of some people with ulterior motives, the most important of whom would be the butcher Chen's family at the corner of the street.

"Ah! Your father? That noble man, I said that noble man doesn't seem like the kind of person who would abandon his wife and daughter. He is a good man. He even helped me fetch water. That's so nice, really so nice."

Although she was called an old woman, she was actually not very old, only about fifty years old. When she heard what Zhao Yan said, she exclaimed and murmured as if she was lost in her memories.
indeed!

As an old neighbor, she had naturally met Zhao Shi.

Harmonious!

She had never seen such a kind nobleman.

"Well, girl, I'm fine at night. The two children are the main concern," the old woman said, looking at Zhao Yan embarrassedly and said hesitantly.

"This"

"I have to go back and discuss this with my mother!"

Although the old woman didn't say what it was, how could Zhao Yan not know that her family had made the same request to other families before.

It was fine when this street was not haunted. Although it was dangerous, people still had to live their lives as usual. But now, this street has also started to be haunted.
Zhao Yan didn't say anything more and ran straight to the gold shop on the street.

The gold hairpin was sold for ten taels of silver, which was just enough to buy three incense sticks for praying to the gods.

"Mom, I've bought the incense." Zhao Yan ran back with a wooden box and a bunch of incense sticks, and shouted to her mother who was sitting in a daze at the door of the ancestral hall.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling stood up and walked quickly to her daughter, took the box of incense and held it tightly in her arms.

Incense for praying to the gods can only be used once a day.

Is that the reason? Neither of them knew, but that’s what the government officials said.

"Mom, when I just went out, I met Grandma Li from next door. She wants to bring her grandchildren to stay at our house tonight!" Zhao Yan said after helping her mother sit down.

"Alas, we are all miserable people, what a miserable world this is."

"Come on, we'll all be at the ancestral hall tonight, but you have to make it clear to Granny Li that you can come, but our family won't charge money like the Chen family does. We only want their offerings and incense! And they have to worship sincerely!"

Jiang Ling heard this and sighed softly.

When the world is in chaos, ordinary people are the ones who suffer the most.

Almost every wealthy family in the county town has an ancestral spirit, but what about ordinary families? Only one in ten or two.
money!
It is difficult for most ordinary people.

You know, even their family has emptied out decades of savings.
Zhao Shi didn't care about these.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in his home, and he could vaguely see and hear the conversation between the mother and daughter in his mind.

He wanted Jiang Ling not to sell the gold hairpin. Zhao Shi naturally knew about this gold hairpin. He had pawned his watch to buy it as a token of love.

But, it was useless. He couldn't show his true form at this moment.

Reason?
Zhao Shi knew.

In that world he is spirit.

To put it bluntly, ancestral spirits are also considered weird, but they are different from wild ones. Wild ones only have instincts, while these ancestral spirits have some memories of their previous lives.

Zhao Shi is different.

First, he retained his memory completely.

Furthermore, the ancestral spirits of other families basically reside in the spirit tablet, and the mother and daughter thought that Zhao Shi also resided in the spirit tablet.

The summoned ancestral spirits have long lost their original bodies. The tablets are the medium of summoning and the only place where the ancestral spirits can reside.

Just like the incense gods, the incense gods without physical bodies also need a host body, and the statues are their hosts.

In fact, ancestral spirits can also use statues as hosts, but the larger the statue, the more incense power it will consume.
Only the big families have such treatment, and those big families with hundreds or thousands of people can only use statues that are about one meter high at most.

Ordinary families with a large population would worship every day and might be able to offer a small statue of the god that is one foot long. Those with a small population could only use tablets. For example, there were only two people in their family. In the beginning, they didn't even have sacrifices. With that little incense, it would be a stretch to even use a tablet unless the quality of the incense was very high.

Even so, the ancestral spirit world can only cover the size of the ancestral hall, which is considered the weakest ancestral spirit.

no way.

It is indeed the weakest. It is impossible for one or two people from other families to summon the ancestral spirit.

It can be said that the mother and daughter were able to summon Zhao Shi's spirit due largely to luck. Also, Zhao Shi was not really dead and had his own emotions, which is why he appeared for some unknown reason when the young woman Jiang Ling accused him.

After the mother and daughter left the ancestral hall to do business, Zhao Shi began to study his own situation.

He just didn't have time to sort out his situation.

Zhao Shi turned on the surveillance camera in the house. Because he often suffered from amnesia, and it was getting worse and worse, he was afraid that he really only had a few seconds of memory left. After stopping taking medicine, he spent a huge amount of money to install a surveillance camera in the house.

"really!"

After watching the surveillance video, Zhao Shi said to himself, just as he thought, the so-called time travel just now was not a physical travel.

It was the soul, that is, he had a soul and a spirit left in that world, otherwise it would be impossible for him to go back again.

这 是
Suddenly, Zhao Shi was stunned.

He found that there was something more in his mind.

A space.

A space of one foot square.

How could this be?

Looking at the space, Zhao Shi fell into deep thought.

I still couldn't figure it out for a long time, but if you are in doubt, ask Baidu.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan directly typed "incense and ancestral spirits" into his mobile browser, and then a lot of answers appeared.

The information was messy and mixed, but Zhao Shi still managed to extract some useful information from it.

The transformation of spirits by incense is also called "divine power" or the divine power of incense.

The final destination of the soul is to become a god through incense.

The ancestral spirits from another world are actually a kind of god, but they are just small wild gods without much divine power and have not been conferred.

And should that small space be the so-called divine space?
Is it unique to him, or do other ancestral spirits also have it?

Zhao Shi didn't know.

While thinking, Zhao Shi picked up the water cup on the sofa. As soon as the thought came to his mind, the water cup disappeared instantly, and then the water cup appeared in his mind.

this.
Haha
Really capable!

He just experimented casually and didn't expect that he could actually put it in.

Can it be taken out in another world?

Zhao Shi was thinking about it, and his mind moved. His consciousness or soul appeared in the other world again and came to the tablet. With a flash, Zhao Shi in the state of ancestral spirit came out of the tablet.

With a thought, a cup appeared on the table in the ancestral hall.

"really!!!"

"It works!"

Zhao Shi said with a happy face.

This space is just as he thought, able to connect the two worlds.

He understood very well what this represented.
